What if hundreds of people united, each putting in place the changes they wish to see in their city, all on the same day?
On June 7, for the first time-ever, Toronto hosted 100 in 1 Day.
This citizen-driven festival united people across the city to make Toronto a better place by creating acts of urban change.
These acts, or interventions, have the potential to raise awareness of urban and social issues, inspire ideas, and motivate leaders to consider new approaches to old problems.

Release the mommy guilt
As a single parent with a full-time career, I have a lot of balls to juggle and occasionally I drop one (or two or a bunch). As much as I try to give myself the forgiveness and "no parent's perfect" pep talk that I would offer a client or a friend, I often find myself overwhelmed by "mommy guilt." That sick, pit-of-your-stomach, tears- trying- not-to-fall- feeling of "I'm not doing enough so I must not be good enough." Though my mind can say this feeling isn't rational, my heart takes it hard.
I had a particularly bad case of mommy guilt over the last two weeks when Avery's teacher informed me that Avery was struggling in reading; not just struggling, but out-and-out failing her last few reading tests. This was a new experience for us, not just the failing part, but taking tests, talking about grades, making what turns out to be a pretty tough transition from kindergarten to first grade. (Speaking of that transition, I think there should be some kind of designated post-kindergarten-to-pre-first-grade warm-up school over the summer to help kids make this big leap from kindergarten to first grade, but that's another topic for another day.)
When I got this news about Avery's reading grade, my first thought was "oh #$%)&* I dropped the reading ball! How could I have done that?! Of all the ones to drop, I missed that one?! Dang it!" (or something like that).
I felt so bad that Avery was struggling, and it explained a lot why there had been so many complaints from her lately about getting up for school, a little more separation anxiety than usual, a little less pep in her step on the way to the bus. Every morning I reassured her that everything was going to go well at school and that she would have a great day, and every morning it was painful to watch those short, brave little legs march up the school bus steps. But more than feeling empathy for her, I'm embarrassed to say that I was really making this about me. In talking with a wise friend, I was reminded that as parents we can personalize way too much our children's successes and their failures, becoming far too invested in their outcomes instead of just loving them and accepting them, strengths and challenges and all. I was interpreting this reading problem as a referendum on my parenting, and if I take the attitude that "Avery does well = I'm a good parent, Avery does not so well = I'm a bad parent," the next 12 years and up are going to be a lot harder than necessary -for both of us.
I'm not saying I shouldn't care how Avery does in school or take no responsibility for her behavior or the choices she makes - far from it. It's just that if I make it all about me then I'm teaching Avery that her successes or failures are because of me and not the result of her own effort or choices -positive or negative. In addition, if a child's life is too easy and everything is handed to her, character and humility don't have the opportunity to grow. Although all parents are proud of their children and definitely deserve some of the credit for "how they turn out," it's a slippery slope when you invest your whole self-worth as a human being in what your children do or don't do. I want to raise a good, kind, person, but it's pretty self-centered to think I'm the only factor that determines how Avery develops. As any more advanced parent can tell you, you can raise a child the best way possible, and he or she can still make choices or do things that surprise you for better or for worse.
So, after wallowing in mommy guilt for a while and feeling sorry for Avery and myself, I got back to being the action-oriented parent. I talked to her teacher, arranged for Avery to have tutoring once a week, worked with Avery on making sight word flashcards, and read and re-read the story about the tadpoles and frogs every night. Avery also learned that it was okay to ask for help at school when she didn't understand a test question. She made a 9/11 on her last test, and we were able to celebrate her hard work and the fruit of her effort. When I asked her how she did on the test, Avery said: "I missed some, but it's not the end of the world." She's exactly right, and if I drop a ball or two, that's not the end of the world either.

Automobiles Are the Next Android Devices
TheStreet) -- With more than one billion people using Android-based devices around the world, it was only a matter of time before
(GOOG) began searching for other uses for its wily software platform
Not to be outdone by the competition, Google has announced that it's joining forces with major automobile manufacturers to create the Open Automotive Alliance to bring its Android operating system to automobiles beginning later this year. The announcement came in advance of the opening of the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, this week.
Google shares were advancing 0.60% to $1,111.66 in early New York trading.
Audi, General Motors (GM), Honda (HMC), Hyundai and Nvidia (NVDA) are also founding members of the global partnership. The coalition has extended an invitation for other companies to join as well.
According to the coalition's joint press release, "The OAA is dedicated to a common platform that will drive innovation, and make technology in the car safer and more intuitive for everyone. This open development model and common platform will allow automakers to more easily bring cutting-edge technology to their drivers, and create new opportunities for developers to deliver powerful experiences for drivers and passengers in a safe and scalable way."
As for the timing, the OAA says the release date for new Android-equipped cars will vary by manufacturer but should begin rolling off assembly lines by the end of 2014.
Apple (AAPL) is also perfecting its mobile platform for automobiles. Dubbed Siri Eyes Free the system consists of a special button mounted on the steering wheel which allows the driver to toggle the Siri feature on iOS devices. Audi, BMW, Chrysler, GM, Honda, Jaguar, Land Rover, Mercedes Benz and Toyota (TM) are all partners in the Apple initiative.
Nokia (NOK) also has been partnering with Mercedes along with Continental Corporation and Magneti Marelli to expand its HERE Maps/GPS feature into a complete connected driving system.

Welcome to the 4th edition of the TNA Top 10! A couple days later than normal, but here it is!
Every week, I will analyze and rank the top 10 TNA wrestlers based on in-ring performance, promos and angles! This week, Eric Young and Wes Brisco make their TNA Top 10 debuts!
10. Wes Brisco (LW: -, Wks: 1)
Wes Brisco had a strong 6-man tag match performance on Impact Thursday, and carried the match for DOC and Garrett Bischoff. Brisco also picked up the three-count in the match as well. Sure, a hand full of tights did the trick, but a pin is a pin, and the Aces & Eights pulled off a big win, thanks to Brisco.
9. Eric Young (LW: -, Wks: 1)
"Showtime" Eric Young makes his TNA Top 10 debut at #9 this week. I love the renewed energy and intensity that Eric Young has displayed since returning to the Impact Zone. Although it wasn't enough to take a piece out of the Aces & Eights this past Thursday, Young had a great match and isa great in-ring performer.
8. James Storm (LW: -, Wks: 1)
"The Cowboy" James Storm makes his return to the Top 10 this week and has an excellent match with the Aces & Eights this past Thursday. I was a bit disappointed that Storm didn't have a bigger factor in the match as I believe he is one of the few that is the future of TNA. Despite being thrown around the ring much of the match by DOC, Brisco and Bischoff, it was a good match for him.
7. Mr. Anderson (LW:, Wks: 1)
Mr. Anderson also returns to the Top 10, with a great match against Jeff Hardy Thursday. I believe Anderson is one guy that is underrated and and not being used to his full potential. While his mic skills are great, I believe his in-ring work does more talking. I agree with Mike Tenay, it was a pay-per-view quality match and I enjoyed every second of it!
6. Kurt Angle (LW: 4, Wks: 2)
Kurt Angle loses a couple spots with his 6-man tag team loss to the Aces & Eights this week. I'm always impressed with Kurt Angle and his in-ring skills, and this week his in-ring work wasn't featured as much as I would have enjoyed, but when he was in the ring, it was explosive as always.
5. Samoa Joe (LW: 4, Wks: 3)
I'll try not to let my mind wander too far and wonder why Samoa Joe was not on Impact this week, as he is one of the few guys on the TNA roster who should be the "meat and potatoes" of Impact Wrestling every week.
4. Chavo Guererro (Lw: 7, Wks: 3)
Chavo Guererro had a great tag team match Thursday on Impact, and he and Hernandez find themselves the number one contenders for the TNA World Tag Team Championship. I look forward to how Chavo and Hernandez will add to their momentum next week, heading into their title match in two weeks.
3. Hernandez (LW: 6, Wks: 4)
An impressive win for Hernandez and Chavo Guererro this week make them the number one contenders for Bobby Roode and Austin Aries' TNA World Tag Team Championship. I'm always impressed with Hernandez' ability to show strength and cruiserweight-style speed that he brings to every match.
2. Bully Ray, TNA World Heavyweight Champion (LW: 1, Wks: 4)
As much as Bully Ray has been through in his career, his heel turn to become the President of the Aces & Eights and capturing the TNA World Heavyweight Championship is the highlight of his career and things only go up from here. Unfortunately, while in the overall scheme of things Bully is at the top of his game and the top of TNA, nothing noteworthy for him this week drops him to #2.
1. Jeff Hardy (LW: 2, Wks: 4)
Jeff Hardy starts Impact this week on the mic and eventually challenging Anderson to a match later in the night. While I'm not a fan of Hardy on the mic and never have been, he's one of those guys right now who can get the crowd behind him with a couple one liners. His match with Anderson was good, and the conclusion of the show was great. One of the reasons I love TNA, is for the type of show endings, steel chair beat downs that happened Thursday.
Keep an eye open to a new TNA Top 10 this Friday where the Top 10 will get a shake up, as I begin a new system in determining the Top 10 in TNA!

The ever rising cost of academic journals is a major burden for researchers. Academic libraries cannot always keep up with increases in subscription fees causing libraries to drop journals from their collection. This makes it harder for students and professors to quickly and easily access the information they need. Inter-library loan requests are an option but they do take time. Even if it only takes a few days to fill an inter-library loan request, that is still time wasted for a researcher that has a deadline. While there is no single, quick fix to the problem with the academic journal prices, there is a movement applying the open source way to academic research in an attempt to solve the problem—the open access movement.

Sourcery CodeBench Virtual Edition
Sourcery CodeBench Virtual Edition delivers a new approach to software developers and enables them to remain in their native software development environment across all stages of hardware development. From early abstract simulation models, through RTL emulation, to physical prototypes and final embedded system products the Sourcery CodeBench Virtual Edition integrates the functionality of the CodeBench Professional Edition and Sourcery Analyzer products, and provides integrated software debug interfaces to Mentor's Vista Virtual Prototyping and the Veloce emulation products.
By using Sourcery CodeBench Virtual Edition, developers benefit from hardware visibility and control that is not possible with real hardware, intuitively integrated into the software development domain. With the Sourcery CodeBench Virtual Edition developer can benefit from:
Software and Hardware co-debug on Virtual Platforms
Software and hardware can be debugged together on an abstracted simulation model of the hardware. The hardware model runs on the Mentor Vista product, providing an instruction set simulator for fast code execution and hardware accurate models for other parts of the SOC. A hardware engineer can monitor and debug the hardware model through Vista. At the same time, a software engineer can debug the code running on the hardware model using CodeBench Virtual Edition, with visibility into hardware state that is not possible with real hardware. This enables software driven model verification, where test software stimulates the hardware and records responses, as well as for functional debug of software which directly interacts with hardware.
Software development on Virtual Platforms
Starting software development on a virtual platform before hardware is available reduces the overall time to market by shifting much of the software debug and system integration to proceed in parallel with hardware development. The visibility that Sourcery CodeBench Virtual Edition provides into the hardware helps debug complex software/hardware interactions, further reducing the time to market. Virtual platforms also facilitate quality improvements in three ways: firstly, they enable an iterative software development approach by incrementally coding, debugging and analyzing code layers instead of writing the code in advance and debugging it all when the prototype arrives; secondly, if hardware defects are discovered or hardware enhancements are required, there is still time to change the hardware design; lastly, virtual platforms are ideally suited to automated test and continuous integration environments.
Architectural Analysis with Virtual Platforms
The simultaneous analysis of software and hardware operation on the same time line which Sourcery CodeBench Virtual Edition provides allows for testing architectural assumptions and decisions before the hardware design is committed. The combined impact of hardware design details and software operation on the overall system performance and power can be directly measured instead of estimated, to ensure the final product meets its market requirements.
Software and Hardware co-debug on a Veloce Emulator
Debugging hardware and software together on a Veloce emulator allows the hardware to be tested using actual product software instead of contrived test cases, and allows the software to be tested on the actual hardware design, well before first silicon. A hardware engineer can monitor and debug the hardware through the Veloce UI. At the same time, a software engineer can debug the code running on the emulator using Sourcery CodeBench Virtual Edition, with visibility into hardware state that is not possible with real hardware. This facilitates software driven hardware verification, functional debug of software that interacts with the hardware, as well as full system integration and OS boot, reducing the risk of unplanned and costly hardware revisions.
Software development on a Veloce Emulator
Sourcery CodeBench Virtual Edition supports developing software on an emulation model which is synthesized from the actual hardware design. This provides a cycle accurate environment for testing hardware specific parts of the software, to facilitate validation of timing dependencies that could not otherwise be tested until real hardware is available. This improves product quality by identifying hardware defects while there is time to fix them, instead of creating ugly and costly software work-arounds near the end of the development schedule
System debug and analysis on real hardware
When the prototype or product hardware does finally arrive, Sourcery CodeBench Virtual Edition supports debug and analysis of real world problems via a JTAG probe with all the same features and benefits of Sourcery CodeBench Professional Edition.

If you are aware of SAS, a company located in Cary, NC then you understand or have a need to understand business analytics. As the largest privately-held software company in the world, SAS often flies under the radar because what they do isn't sexy. Instead, it is necessary.
Necessary business functions don't get the same attention or play that the exciting new and 'edgy' companies get. SAS is OK with that though. If you've ever visited their campus and saw how they treated their employees, you may quickly value necessary over sexy. A result of this reverence for their employees, the company merited the top spot on Fortune's Top 100 Best Companies to Work For list this year. Actually you can find the company somewhere on that list just about every year but this year it's number 1.

Tim Cook's apology marks the spot for faulty Maps app
By ANDY IHNATKO Twitter | @ihnatko September 28, 2012 9:40PM
Updated: September 28, 2012 11:33PM
You couldn't say that the public letter from Apple CEO Tim Cook to millions of iOS 6 Maps users was completely unprecedented.
When the iPhone 4 was released, users and reviewers immediately discovered that holding it in a certain, common way caused the phone's signal strength indicator to drip down to zero. After a period of silence, Apple invited a small, carefully-selected group of media to a hastily-planned event on their corporate campus. They got to hear Steve Jobs explain that users were holding the iPhone 4 in a weird, unnatural way (no, they weren't) and this same problem affected every single phone on the market (not true even by half). He concluded by saying that if users were determined to keep acting like total whiny babies about this, then fine, Apple would give everybody a free iPhone 4 case that would insulate the antennas from this nonexistent problem that the users have created (gee, thanks).
On Friday, Tim Cook responded to the widespread complaints about Maps by saying, in essence, "The app doesn't work as well as we'd like. We're sorry. It'll get better over time. There are some good alternative Maps apps available today . . . here's a list of the ones we like."
1) True; 2) I totally believe that; 3) absolutely true, and obvious from the outset; and 4) thanks, Tim . . . and I mean that sincerely.
The letter is a perfect response that covers every point that needs to be said.
Apple's mistake wasn't that they released an incomplete and often unreliable product. Creating a brand-new maps service is a monumental undertaking, even if it licenses lots of solid, time-tested datasets from other companies. Even Google's mapping services had these same kinds of problems in their early days, though those days were long before location became a staple function of mobile devices. Today, Google Maps is best-in-class, and it, too screws up from time to time.
Apple's mistake was that they pushed Maps into the deep end of the pool straight away. Navigation is a service that either works, or it doesn't...and all failures are dramatic ones. It's also a service that every user is going to try immediately.
Instead, Apple should have launched Maps the same way they sent Siri into the world a year ago: as a beta. Siri's important enough to Apple and iOS and it's a large enough point of pride that the company was willing to put Martin Scorsese in the back of a cab with it in national commercials this summer. Even so, Apple makes it clear that it's still a work in progress. By its very nature, Siri requires day to day use by tens of millions of users to improve its existing features and validate its need for new ones.
Such is the case with Maps. A map service can only be improved when millions of daily users have thousands of daily Whiskey Tango Foxtrot moments with its directions and data.
iOS Maps has a built-in system that allows users to report problems. It seems to be working. Three days after iOS 6 shipped, one of the first map problems I spotted was fixed: Boston Common had been moved to the actual site of the city's signature 350-year-old 50-acre park, and was no longer somewhere in the food court of an indoor mall a mile away.
(But please, Apple: the 170-year-old horticultural garden next to it is the "Public Garden," not the "Public Gardens." Okay?)
Overall, Maps is in the same shape it was in when I wrote about it a week ago. It's a gorgeously-designed turn-by-turn navigator. The 3D flyover maps add instant clarity to your understanding of a neighborhood. It's a damn shame that the app can no longer help you get from A to B via public transportation.
And! You can't really trust any function that relies on its point of interest database. If you ask the app (or Siri) to navigate you to "the AMC movie theater in Framingham" without providing it with the precise address, Maps might send you to a Loews multiplex several towns away...simply because it doesn't know about any of the movie theaters in Framingham. Or it might send you to an AAMCO station, or to the home of Angelo and Maria Amcaro.
But it's getting better and better. And some regions seem to be working better than others. Friends of mine in other parts of the US insist that Maps has never given them a lick of trouble. It's also been said that the data for China is terrific.
Those of us who don't live in China or near my friends' houses will continue to backstop iOS 6 Maps' features with the web editions of Google Maps (maps.google.com) and Nokia Maps (m.maps.nokia.com). I've been an outspoken fan of the free Waze app since I started using it early this summer, and I was glad to see Tim Cook single it out in Friday's letter. You should also check out my favorite for-pay alternatives: Motion-X Drive ($.99, plus $9.99 a year for turn-by-turn directions).
Apple's definitely on the right track with Maps. I'd only be concerned about the app if its features were hard to use and its maps and directions were difficult to read. As-is, the app's problems are limited to its dataset. From the user's perspective, that's the easiest problem to fix. So long as Apple continues to find and correct mistakes in the data, the service will continue to improve, as though by magic.
Contrary to what some over-reaching critics have said, the idea that Apple banished Google Maps from iOS as part of a childish blood feud with the company is ridiculous. Apple almost had to build their own mapping service.
Plus, their five-year agreement to include Google Maps data in iOS was coming to an end and I doubt that Apple ever seriously considered renewing it. Google puts restrictions on how an outside company can use their services...and honestly, they ought to. The Google Maps product is the result of a huge initial and ongoing investment, as well as an admirable amount of early vision back when digital mapping products shipped with a thick pile of CD-ROMs. It's a valuable asset that Google should use to increase the value of their own products, not those of a direct competitor.
From Apple's point of view, continuing to use Google Maps would have meant either continuing to have an iOS navigation service with a fraction of the capabilities of Android's, or making a lot of concessions to Google. If the search company didn't try to exploit their ongoing access to the most popular single handset in the world to improve their search, mapping, and ad-targeting products, they would have been nuts.
That situation certainly wasn't going to work for Apple. Not when you consider that they had enough cash on hand to buy and build their own map services...and enough customer goodwill to weather the storms of getting it all up and working.

Refreshing Rearrange
I have had a bit of a rearranging bug lately. I roped Christian into helping me with the kitchen. We even moved the fridge and bought a second shelving unit. I loved the difference it made. The kitchen now feels like an entirely new room and only cost $50 (for the shelving).
I knew something had to be done with the boys room. I still haven't been able to decided on a paint color or theme so I decided to just rearrange! This time I roped my mother (who is a furniture moving extraordinaire! My dad jokes about putting up "Danger! Moving Furniture!" signs around the house.) into helping get the job done.
This is the before:
Everything was just thrown in there when we did our last room swap. It all felt disjointed and sloppy to me.
And here is the after:
I am very happy with the way this turned out. Still nothing you would find in a home living magazine, but I feel like it is put together better than it was before. The boys love the change so much that they have actually been trying to keep it clean!

Observing a Montessori Classroom/
One of our absolutely favorite things to do is to showcase our classrooms. We believe in transparency, thinking that the more people can see, the more they'll come to understand. In our estimations, a lack of transparency has been one the greatest obstacles to the success of Montessori, and it's our desire to try to open things up. Having the opportunity to see a Montessori classroom in action can be an incredible experience. In the least, it prompts a number of questions, both simple and complex. Ultimately, and this is our greatest hope, it can help observers make an informed decision, not only on the education of their children, but also on the perceived societal value of early childhood education.
We encourage current parents to schedule a time to observe, keeping them up to date through photographs and daily conversations, but we do not make it a requirement. With prospective families, however, especially those with no previous experience of Montessori, we do make it a condition of acceptance. Of course, the way we see it, it's not about us, but it's about them. Primarily, we want to ensure that Montessori is the right fit for their family. It also, and at the same time, provides a wonderful opportunity and insight into how people think about education.
With anything, the further down the hole you travel, the harder it gets to try to keep that surface perspective. It's easy to fall into the trap of thinking that this is the only way to do things. We must always try to keep in mind that different families have needs, expectations and desires that might exist outside the parameters of what they envision as Montessori. It's not our task to tell families what to do, but merely to showcase what we do, seeing if it's the right fit for them.

Obama's Wahhabi bling-bling
Isn't it special?
President Obama was awarded Saudi Arabia's highest honor yesterday — an elaborate gold necklace and medallion fit for a king or a rap mogul.
"Goodness gracious, that's something there," an awestruck Obama said when a royal aide approached him with the massive chain.
A beaming King Abdullah — who hosted Obama in an ornate meeting room decked out with opulent chandeliers, marble columns and engraved mirrors — presented the gift to the president…
…"Those are only given to the very few friends of the king, and you are certainly one of those," Abdullah said.

Home > Health & Wellness > Health Library > Cleft Palate: Feeding Your Baby
Feeding a baby who has
cleft palate can be a challenge. Your baby may have a problem making a tight seal between his or her mouth and the nipple. But with a little preparation, you can successfully feed your baby with breast milk or formula.
A health professional who specializes in babies with cleft palate
can show you how to bottle-feed your baby in the best way. The health
professional can also answer any questions you have about feeding
During feeding:
During and after feeding, be sure to burp your baby often. Babies
with cleft palate tend to swallow more air while feeding and may need more
frequent burping than other babies.
If you want to breast-feed your baby, talk with a health
professional or a breast-feeding (lactation) consultant. Although feeding your
baby directly at the breast usually is very challenging and not always
successful, you can use a breast pump to collect your breast milk in a bottle
and then feed it to your baby. Try using the above bottle-feeding

Three more names have been added to the SHIMMER roster for the upcoming March 26-27 tapings – where volumes 37-40 will be recorded – and they're names that the fans will know well, as they were part of the very first taping, and most of the tapings since then.
Nikki Roxx and Ariel have had their share of success in SHIMMER. Both have climbed their way up the card to claim title shots, though both came up short in their efforts to become champion.
Roxx was the first woman to take on Amazing Kong in SHIMMER back on volume 5, and opened the eyes of a lot of fans to her heart, desire and determination. A string of wins saw her main event volume 10 against Sara Del Rey, and she has remained around the higher points of the card ever since.
Likewise, Ariel has faced Amazing Kong in SHIMMER – but unlike Roxx, the Portuguese Princess holds a DQ victory over Kong, as well as a pinfall victory over Cheerleader Melissa to earn herself a title shot against then-champion MsChif, though she ended up falling to the Descecrator.
Indications from the official SHIMMER forum suggest that Roxx and Ariel – collectively known as Pretty Bitchin' – will also be setting their sights on the Tag Team Championship, currently held by the Canadian Ninjas, Portia Perez and Nicole Matthews. If you consider that 3S (Hiroyo Matsumoto and Misaki Ohata), the Knight Dynasty (Britani Knight and Sweet Saraya) and Rachel and Jessica's Excellent Tag Team will also be looking to capture the gold, it's shaping up to be a pretty busy weekend for the Ninjas in late March.
Also joining Roxx and Ariel is SHIMMER co-founder and Pro Wrestling SUN President and Champion Allison Danger, who could be in line for her first ever crack at the SHIMMER championship if she beats current champion Madison Eagles at SUN's debut show in New Jersey the week before on March 20. Whoever wins that match will be able to claim a shot at her defeated opponent's title – meaning if Danger can get past Eagles, she could cash in her title shot the following week in Berwyn, IL.
And to add even more spice to the Tag Team Title situation, Danger's revealed she has plans to form her own team to challenge the Ninjas, with whom she has a long history in SHIMMER – she and Perez fought over many volumes, culminating in a Last Woman Standing victory for Danger on volume 30.
Nikki, Ariel, and Allison join previously announced talents SHIMMER Champion Madison Eagles, SHIMMER Tag Team Champions The Canadian Ninjas, "Your Soul's Tormentor" MsChif, Cheerleader Melissa, Daizee Haze, "The Queen of Wrestling" Sara Del Rey, "The Latina Sensation" Mercedes Martinez, Serena Deeb, Saraya Knight, Britani Knight, Hiroyo Matsumoto, Misaki Ohata, Ayumi Kurihara, and Tomoka Nakagawa as those confirmed thus far for participation in the March 26th & 27th events.
Front row seating is already SOLD OUT for both days. General admission seating is still available here using PayPal. You may also purchase tickets by mail order. E-mail email@example.com for mail order instructions.

The state of emergencies have been cancelled in Columbia and Rensselaer counties following a fire at an industrial plant. Hazardous materials were said to have been housed in the building in Ghent. YNN's Megan Cruz has been on the scene and has more.
WEST GHENT, N.Y. -- A massive fire at a recycling plant in Columbia County is out, and residents have been given the all-clear to leave their homes and open their windows.
The fire broke out at TCI of New York in West Ghent around 10:15 p.m. Wednesday. Residents within a 15-miles radius of the facility were being advised to stay indoors, but that advisory has since been lifted.
The director of the Columbia County Emergency Management office said during a news conference today that no issues were found with the air quality. Tests of soot from the fire show no evidence of PCB contamination, and tests results for dioxin - a potential byproduct of the burning - are expected by Friday.
The cause of the fire is under investigation.
The company released a statement Thursday evening saying, "We are grateful that no injuries were sustained and thankful to the many fire officials, first responders and emergency management personnel for the immediate, multi-agency response."
Brian Hemlock, the company's Vice President of Operations went on to say, "TCI is fully cooperating with the various agencies involved in the investigation and clean up efforts... and deeply regret any inconvenience caused to surrounding homeowners and businesses during the response efforts."
Visit the Columbia County Emergency Management Office's Facebook page for the latest updates.
If you have soot and dust from the fire at your home officials have a few recommendations on how to clean it up. They said on exterior surfaces, including cars, use water and detergent to spray off accumulated deposits.
Before you turn on any air conditioning unit, you should inspect it for visible soot and dust. Disposable filters should be replaced, and filters that can be washed and re-used should be.
Any soot inside a building should be washed with detergent and water, and vacuuming should only be done with a HEPA vacuum. You should also wear rubber gloves, long sleeves, long pants do clean.

Cal Poly CSI Construction Sciences Forum 2010
Today, I swallowed hard, took a deep breath, and walked into the CSI dinner event for the Construction Sciences Forum. You may wonder why I was freaking about a dinner, but it was dinner with professionals, so I was a tipsy-bit nervous. Still, the dinner was only $5, and I am interested in what is going on, so in I go!
In case you are all wondering – no, this has nothing do to the Biology/Chemistry science. Actually, I am not sure why they put the world "science" in, but then construction is science, and I guess it sounds better than just Construction Forum.
This is an annual event host by the local CSI student club. CSI stands for Construction Specifications Institute. There is also AIAS, which stands for American Institute of Architecture Students. CSI and AIA (notice the missing S) are all professional organization for the trades. While we are in school, we can join the student-club version of them. I just renewed membership for CSI Student Club this year, because I am interested in the project they are doing.
The Construction Sciences Forum is hold by the Cal Poly CSI each year. First you have the Exhibit and Product show, then you have dinner with panel discussion. Unfortunately, I missed the morning show because of class, so when Terra from CSI wrote about the dinner on the whiteboard and told me that I can go for $5, I decided to go! I told myself that I will try out all the different activities on campus that I am interested in, after all. Besides, I went to the Emerging Green Builder meeting yesterday even though I missed the first meeting, and the meeting yesterday had went well.
At first it was bit nervous for me, because the dinner thing look FORMAL. Everyone was dressed in business casual other than the volunteers, the tables were laid out with white cloths and glass bowls of water with cute tea candles and colored marbles, and I didn't see any students! There was eventually students, but only about five or six. Fortunately, my friend Shelly happen to come by! She sat down next to me, we started chatting. The dinner was a bit late, but it did smell pretty good. The two of us went to get our food, and we have beef and turkey stripes, salad, bean soup, cookies, and beverage of our choice (Both of us stick to water bottles – not much healthy drinks there, and anyone who know knows I don't like coke's texture). The food was good, and I like the beef in particular.
To my surprise, my studio professor Margot also came and sat down next to us. It turned out (to all three of our surprise – yes, there is a lot of surprise today!) that she had help Shelly in her Minor before as a college adviser. We ended up talking quite a bit about minoring. The CSI student president and another architecture student also joined our table. The conversation ended up quite interesting. I was particularly interested when Margot talked about a preservation class she taught (Actually, it was more than interested. I was positively enthusiastic and asked her what is the class two times. Now that I think about it, it is quite embarrassing. But then, I really do like art history and preservation work…). She talked about the preservation work her class had done, and the internship of another student in that subject – I really wish I had the chance to attend that class. Hopefully, she will offer it in the future.
Meanwhile, I have officially been accepted in Art History minor!!!
The art history class I am taking right now is… energizing even at 9 AM in the morning.
Well, back to the forum. The panel discussion turn out much more intriguing than I imagine. The Professional Practice class I took during my San Francisco Internship really comes to use here. I became much more interested in the process of the panelist's building (which is the Rec Center on campus in this case) since I can understand what they are talking about – both in their terms and in their jokes. The forum was actually more light-tone than I imagine, so humor did come in quite a bit.
The introduction was quite funny. I didn't notice it, but a bunch of students had gathered up behind me. When we introduced ourself, there was a certain moment when everyone said that they are first year architecture students in the back-row. It was quite obviously a class assignment for the first year class. The last person finally stood up, and at the end of the introduction where you were supposed to say why you are here, he freely admitted that this is required in his class. Everyone bursted into laughter and quite a bit of people clapped (Me included).
The questions that other asked was quite fascinating as well. Architecture is really constantly changing field – you can always learn more, and nothing can replace the knowledge you gain from experience and staying up with news. Learning at forum like this can be extremely beneficial, as is in this case.
Oh, and I won the student ticket lottery. I got a DVD about 2009 Fall Forum of International Partnering Institute (Which I really have not idea what it means, I will check it out later) and a book titled "Partner your Project". Considering the fact that I am taking an interdisciplinary studio course that requires me to work with all other CAED majors (CM, ARCE, LARCH, and maybe CRP later), it is going to be one handy book I think.
All in all, it was day went well!

Fascism Anyone? 14 Signs WeтАЩre Already There
Free Inquiry┬аreaders may pause to read the тАЬAffirmations of Humanism: A Statement of PrinciplesтАЭ on the inside cover of the magazine. To a secular humanist, these principles seem so logical, so right, so crucial. Yet, there is one archetypal political philosophy that is anathema to almost all of these principles. It is fascism. And fascismтАЩs principles are wafting in the air today, surreptitiously masquerading as something else, challenging everything we stand for. The clich├й that people and nations learn from history is not only overused, but also overestimated; often we fail to learn from history, or draw the wrong conclusions. Sadly, historical amnesia is the norm.
We are two-and-a-half generations removed from the horrors of Nazi Germany, although constant reminders jog the consciousness. German and Italian fascism form the historical models that define this twisted political worldview. Although they no longer exist, this worldview and the characteristics of these models have been imitated by protofascist regimes at various times in the twentieth century. Both the original German and Italian models and the later protofascist regimes show remarkably similar characteristics. Although many scholars question any direct connection among these regimes, few can dispute their visual similarities.
Beyond the visual, even a cursory study of these fascist and protofascist regimes reveals the absolutely striking convergence of their┬аmodus operandi. This, of course, is not a revelation to the informed political observer, but it is sometimes useful in the interests of perspective to restate obvious facts and in so doing shed needed light on current circumstances.
For the purpose of this perspective, I will consider the following regimes: Nazi Germany, Fascist Italy, FrancoтАЩs Spain, SalazarтАЩs Portugal, PapadopoulosтАЩs Greece, PinochetтАЩs Chile, and SuhartoтАЩs Indonesia. To be sure, they constitute a mixed bag of national identities, cultures, developmental levels, and history. But they all followed the fascist or protofascist model in obtaining, expanding, and maintaining power. Further, all these regimes have been overthrown, so a more or less complete picture of their basic characteristics and abuses is possible.
Analysis of these seven regimes reveals fourteen common threads that link them in recognizable patterns of national behavior and abuse of power. These basic characteristics are more prevalent and intense in some regimes than in others, but they all share at least some level of similarity.
1.┬аPowerful and continuing expressions of nationalism.┬аFrom the prominent displays of flags and bunting to the ubiquitous lapel pins, the fervor to show patriotic nationalism, both on the part of the regime itself and of citizens caught up in its frenzy, was always obvious. Catchy slogans, pride in the military, and demands for unity were common themes in expressing this nationalism. It was usually coupled with a suspicion of things foreign that often bordered on xenophobia.
2.┬аDisdain for the importance of human rights.┬аThe regimes themselves viewed human rights as of little value and a hindrance to realizing the objectives of the ruling elite. Through clever use of propaganda, the population was brought to accept these human rights abuses by marginalizing, even demonizing, those being targeted. When abuse was egregious, the tactic was to use secrecy, denial, and disinformation.
3.┬аIdentification of enemies/scapegoats as a unifying cause.┬аThe most significant common thread among these regimes was the use of scapegoating as a means to divert the peopleтАЩs attention from other problems, to shift blame for failures, and to channel frustration in controlled directions. The methods of choiceтАФrelentless propaganda and disinformationтАФwere usually effective. Often the regimes would incite тАЬspontaneousтАЭ acts against the target scapegoats, usually communists, socialists, liberals, Jews, ethnic and racial minorities, traditional national enemies, members of other religions, secularists, homosexuals, and тАЬterrorists.тАЭ Active opponents of these regimes were inevitably labeled as terrorists and dealt with accordingly.
4.┬аThe supremacy of the military/avid militarism.┬аRuling elites always identified closely with the military and the industrial infrastructure that supported it. A disproportionate share of national resources was allocated to the military, even when domestic needs were acute. The military was seen as an expression of nationalism, and was used whenever possible to assert national goals, intimidate other nations, and increase the power and prestige of the ruling elite.
5.┬аRampant sexism.┬аBeyond the simple fact that the political elite and the national culture were male-dominated, these regimes inevitably viewed women as second-class citizens. They were adamantly anti-abortion and also homophobic. These attitudes were usually codified in Draconian laws that enjoyed strong support by the orthodox religion of the country, thus lending the regime cover for its abuses.
6.┬аA controlled mass media.┬аUnder some of the regimes, the mass media were under strict direct control and could be relied upon never to stray from the party line. Other regimes exercised more subtle power to ensure media orthodoxy. Methods included the control of licensing and access to resources, economic pressure, appeals to patriotism, and implied threats. The leaders of the mass media were often politically compatible with the power elite. The result was usually success in keeping the general public unaware of the regimesтАЩ excesses.
7.┬аObsession with national security.┬аInevitably, a national security apparatus was under direct control of the ruling elite. It was usually an instrument of oppression, operating in secret and beyond any constraints. Its actions were justified under the rubric of protecting тАЬnational security,тАЭ and questioning its activities was portrayed as unpatriotic or even treasonous.
