Normally when one hears about skirmishes with security at a
fly-in or an airshow -- at least here at ANN HQ -- we tend to
think about the ongoing soap opera involving Sun 'N
Fun and Jim Campbell... but this time the story is a mite
different, and a mite perplexing.
Accomplished aerobatic performance pilot and air show veteran
Patty Wagstaff tells ANN she had an altercation at Oshkosh 2008
while attempting to get back from the "Gathering of Eagles" dinner
Thursday evening, en route to the nearby Hilton, using interior
airport access. It was late at night, somewhere North of 2230, and
Patty (in the company of at least three other persons) apparently
got off-kilter on the grounds of Wittman Field and got the rapt
attention of Oshkosh airport/airshow security.
The situation went downhill from there -- during a week in which
the tenor of some aspects of the security apparatus at Wittman
Field has been characterized as "less than friendly."
Patty freely admits that she was "in the wrong place at the
wrong time" and is horribly embarrassed at what transpired.
Security "busted" her for being in an unauthorized area on the
airport grounds, and the matter somehow escalated into an
"uncomfortable" situation which required the attention of the
Winnebago County Sheriff to resolve... and some three hours of
their collective time.
This has led to an equally uncomfortable series of rumors and
such -- which will need to be resolved by future judgments by local
authorities. Wagstaff's scheduled performance during Friday's air
show at Oshkosh was scrubbed; she was not scheduled to perform
Saturday, though her Extra 300 was on the flight line (shown
Wagstaff spoke to ANN, Saturday, and explained that she was
"horribly upset at the misunderstanding that occurred," but also
added that she was pretty unhappy with the escalation from local
airshow security to the Sheriff. Once again, though, she noted that
she certainly regretted any "implications in which EAA people or
anyone else did anything less than upstanding..."
Since the matter will be reviewed shortly by local authorities,
Wagstaff was constrained from specific comment about particular
issues, but assured ANN that she remained "terribly sorry about
what happened," pointedly adding that she was "absolutely not
Wagstaff says she looks forward to the review of her airport
transgression so that the issue may be put behind her. The next
time she drives about Wittman Field, however, Patty may prefer to
take her directions from the Tower.

The detailed knowledge of fast electron energy transport following interaction with high‐intensity, ultra‐short laser pulses is a key area for secondary source generation for ELI. We demonstrate polarization spectroscopy at laser intensities up to This is significant as it suggests that in situ emission spectroscopy may be used as an effective probe of fast electron velocity distributions in regimes relevant to electron transport in solid targets. Ly‐α doublet emission of nickel and sulphur is observed to measure the degree of polarization from the emission. emission is unpolarized, and as such acts as a calibration source between spectrometers. The measured ratio of the X‐ray σ‐ and π‐polarization allows the possibility to infer the velocity distribution function of the fast electron beam.

In a world where magazines are downsizing or disbanding, digital publisher Net-A-Porter is bucking the trend and launching PORTER, a print and digital magazine at New York Fashion Week. The publication will be available six times a year and available at newsstands globally starting Friday. Digital versions of the fashion publication will be downloadable via Apple Newsstand and Google Play.
Launched in June, 2000 by Natalie Massenet, "The founding idea for this business was about launching a shoppable magazine online, inspired by the incredible glossy magazines we have grown up with," she said in a press release. "With the launch of PORTER I feel like we have come full circle at The NET-A-PORTER Group."
Subscribers will receive both print and digital versions featuring the same advertisements with web links from each ad to that brand's homepage, with ad pricing starting at $57,000 for both print and digital placement. The 300-page print issue costs $9.99 (as compared to American Vogue, which is $5.99), has 72 pages of ads, including front and rear folds featuring Chanel and Christian Dior. The debut issue features super model and celebrity Gisele Bündchen on the cover.Continue reading...

As Facebook gets ready to unveil its new ad-friendly newsfeed on Thursday, concerns are rising over Facebook's efforts to improve its revenue streams with sponsored posts and paid placement on newsfeeds, though Facebook is far from the only social company exploring new ad options as the global mobile ad market is predicted to reach $11.4 billion this year and $24.6 billion by 2016, according to Gartner.
When the New York Times' Nick Bilton observed the "Likes" on his Facebook page "Disruptions" dropping while his followers increased, he began paying $7 for sponsored advertising of his posts that resulted in a 1,000 percent increase in "Likes" and "Shares."
"This may be great news for advertisers, but I felt slightly duped," writes Bilton. "I've stayed on Facebook after its repeated privacy violations partly because I foolishly believed there was some sort of democratic approach to sharing freely with others. The company persuaded us to share under that premise and is now turning it inside out by requiring us to pay for people to see what we post."Continue reading...

Here it comes. You can't avoid it. It's "the most prestigious art show in the Americas." It's Art Basel, the annual art festival that takes over Miami Beach as soon as it turns nippy in New York and other climes. This year it's running from Dec. 1-4, pulling in "more than 260 leading galleries" from around the world, according to its site.
When you put that kind of art into that kind of location, a whole lot of money is likely to change hands. And where there is money, there is opportunity. At least, that's what the folks at Christian Dior seem to think. So they set up the company's very first pop-up shop in order to take advantage of the number of moneyed folks who will all be in one small geographical area.
Don't think the space is going to be little, though. This pop-up is 3,100 square feet, "an explosion of fluorescent color and visual stimuli, a meld of Plexiglas and endless video screens" with "mannequins (that) sport black wigs dip-dyed in party pinks and purples," according to Women's Wear Daily. There's a nail salon in the back and a food truck out front that serves French pastries and coffee. There's a photo booth and rotating DJs and a game night that will feature "pinball and foosball tables" that have "designs inspired by the various necklaces, rings and bangles in the collection." Naturally.
The pop-up isn't the only ground broken by the iconic design house. The featured line is the first to be a partnership between Dior and an outside artist, German Anselm Reyle, WWD reports.
When Dior initially asked, Reyle didn't exactly jump at the chance, WWD reports: "I waited a bit at first because it's not the usual thing for artists to do such a collaboration," he says, according to the site. "I had to think about it." Three days later, he agreed.
Prices on the fluorescent-camouflage items in the Dior x Reyle collection, by the way, "range from $310 for a resin bangle to $4,500 for a metallic lambskin Lady Dior," Women's Wear Daily reports. Naturally.

Posted by Barry Silverstein on March 8, 2011 11:30 AM
It's getting to the point where one might consider LVMH the European Union of brands.
The French conglomerate, which legitimately calls itself a "world leader in luxury goods," owns 60 upper echelon brands, many of which have the kind of global cachet most brands can only dream about. These brands accounted last year for more than 20 billion euros in sales and 3 billion euros in profit.
The LVMH stable includes Dom Perignon, Krug and Hennessy in wine and spirits; TAG Heuer and DeBeers in watches and jewelry; Celine, Givenchy and Louis Vuitton in fashion; Christian Dior, Emilio Pucci and Fendi in perfumes and cosmetics; and beauty products purveyor Sephora in specialty retailing.
Add the one billion-euro Italian luxury jewelry brand, Bulgari to the list, acquired this week by LVMH.Continue reading...

According to commercial rules by the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences, this TV commercial for Miss Dior Chérie perfume, directed by Sofia Coppola and starring nominee Natalie Portman, can't air during the Oscars telecast near the Best Actress category.
It's fine during the red carpet pre-show broadcasts, where it has already aired during E!'s red carpet coverage — where Portman was spotted wearing Rodarte in a nod to the Mulleavy sisters' costume designs for her Black Swan outfits, which were snubbed in the Best Costume category. They are, however, on display nearby at the Los Angeles Museum of Contemporary Art.

Kelly Brook is a heroine to dye for in A Kind of Blue. The normally brunette glamor model turned tabloid fixture stars in a new short film for Armani that just debuted at London Fashion Week.
The collaboration with UK's Love magazine riffs on Hitchcock's passion for ice-cold blond femme fatales, while Price's heaving bosom shows his clothes aren't just for stick insects, as her fellow Brit Bridget Jones might say.
Another fashion/cinema collaboration pegged to the Autumn/Winter runway shows: a frisky Natalie Portman in an artsy commercial directed by Sofia Coppola for Christian Dior's Miss Dior Cherie perfume —

A genus of trees of the olive family characterized by pinnate leaves; gray branchlets; and thin, furrowed bark.
(YN-2: dp. 700 (f.); l. 151'8"; b. 30'6"; dr. 10'6"; s. 14 k.; cpl. 40; a. 1 3"; cl. Aloe)
Ash (YN-2) was launched on 15 February 1941 at Houghton, Wash., by the Lake Washington Shipyards, Inc., and was placed in service on 1 July 1941, Lt. Charles E. Ide, USNR, in charge.
The net layer served briefly in San Francisco Bay laying out net bouys and tending nets until 20 August when she headed for the Hawaiian Islands and duty in the 14th Naval District. Ash arrived at the section base at Bishop's Point on the island of Oahu on 28 August and began working on the nets that protected Pearl Harbor. She was at the Bishop's Point section base when the Japanese attacked American warships and installations at Pearl Harbor on the morning of 7 December 1941. Though she fired sporadically at some of the enemy planes during the two hours of the attack, she claimed no kills and suffered neither casualties nor damage.
Following the attack, the ship served at Pearl Harbor through the end of the war. Redesignated AN-7 on 20 December 1942, she was placed in full commission that same day, Lt. J. H. Russell, USNR, in command. Ash continued to operate in the Pearl Harbor area until 11 May 1946 when she got underway for San Francisco. The net layer was moored at the Mare Island Naval Shipyard until 1 November when she got underway for Vancouver, Wash. She was placed out of commission there on 13 December 1946 and remained in reserve until 1 September 1962 when her name was struck from the Navy list. She was then transferred to the Maritime Administration for lay up with the National Defense Reserve Fleet at Olympia, Wash. She stayed there until sold on 14 May 1971 to I. D. Logan for scrapping.
Ash (YN-2) underway circa 1941, in Measure 1 camouflage—dark gray with light gray mast tops. Note the specially designed lifting "horns" forward, as well as the heavy boom at the foremast. (80-G-45027)

A Font Made Of Leaves
Kuala Lumpur-based designer Mei Linn Chan has created a hand-made type series using leaves.
Other than cutting out numbers and letters from the leaves, Chan also made interesting, attractive cut-out patterns around them.
A simple but cleverly-executed font, each leave used is unique—you will find regular oval leaves as well as less commonly seen star- and heart-shaped ones in the series.
The cut-out portions were also retained to create an alternative typographic set to the main collection.

This is the way I learned to cook black beans when traveling in Brazil—the beans turn out perfectly. Wash and pick over the beans. Place them in a large nonreactive soup kettle and add enough water (about 3 quarts) to cover by 5 inches. Bring to a boil and cook for 2 minutes. Remove kettle from the heat, cover, and set aside for 6 hours or overnight.
Return the beans to a simmer and cook, partially covered, for 1 hour until the beans are almost, but not quite, tender.
In a small nonreactive sauce pan, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and sauté for 5 minutes until the onion is translucent. Add the tomato and cook for 4 minutes. Stir in the parsley and thyme. Fold the tomato mixture into the beans and season with salt and pepper. Continue simmering the beans for another 30 minutes until the beans are tender.
Drain the beans, reserving the cooking liquid. Purée in a food processor fitted with the metal blade, adding some of the liquid to make a smooth soup. Transfer to a clean soup pot and stir in more liquid if the soup is too thick. Taste for seasoning. Serve in warm soup plates. (The soup can also be served chilled.)
Serving Suggestions: If serving hot, add a tablespoon of dry sherry to each portion; or float a thin lemon slice, a bit of chopped hard-boiled egg, and chopped chives or scallions on top. If serving cold, add a little cooked chopped shrimp or lobster, a thin slice of lime, and accompany with any New Orleans or Caribbean hot sauce.

Jean Harlow, most famous for being one of Howard Hughes's Hell's Angels, definitely had her own style. Her "platinum" hair was a PR dream and inspired a whole generation of women to have their own style as well! With Jinky's Eggs Any Style, you could have it your way too. What's your style? Scrambled, Sunny side up, Poached? Fresh Eggs cooked to order… any way you want 'em.
REVIEWS 8/09/2014 ***** Jennifer B. Sherman Oaks, CA I had breakfast here for the first time today. It was seriously incredible! I had the Southwestern Benedict with large Thomas english muffins, veggie sausage, scrambled eggs, ranchero sauce and cheddar cheese. As a vegetarian of 20 years, I have to say it was one of the best vegetarian breakfasts I have ever had! I don't even like veggie sausage usually. I will definitely be back for breakfast again soon! (I've had lunch/dinner here previously and it was great as well.)

I come here about 3-4 times a month. I only think it is a good breakfast place and thats it. I get my usually French garden with old school style potatoes. I love their coffee also. The wait in the morning is about 15 min which isn't bad. If you wanna try it out, go for breakfast !!

Simple Supper Friday: Slow Cooker Apricot Chicken
Wow, what an exhausting, but good week! I am whooped and so glad that it's Friday. I admit, I haven't done the greatest with my sleep this week and part of it is due to poor planning. Sure, I had an extra busy week, but most of this falls back on me. I gladly take the blame. Yesterday was especially brutal on the tiredness scale, and I even took a cat-nap before going to work in the evening. I opted to get better sleep last night, put my computer away and got to bed at my preferred time. I've got to get myself back on track because things are only going to get more hectic!
Anyway, pull out your slow cooker for this one! With some simple prep and steps, you can have this in your slow cooker in no time, but remember to plan ahead for the cooking time.
Slow cookers really are my saving grace. Plus, I can't get enough shredded meat. It's my favorite.
- 1.5 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts and/or thighs
- 2 tsp coconut oil
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2-inch piece ginger, grated
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/8 tsp allspice
- Sea salt and pepper to taste
- 1 14.5 oz can no salt added diced tomatoes
- 1 cup chicken broth, preferably homemade
- 3/4 cup unsweetened, unsulphered dried apricots, halved
- Melt the 1 tsp of the coconut oil in a pan over medium heat. Season the chicken with sea salt and pepper, and add to the pan. Brown on both sides for a couple minutes. Then, remove from heat and set aside.
- In the same pan, melt the remaining 1 tsp of coconut oil. Add more if needed. Add the onion and saute a few minutes, until it becomes translucent. Stir in the ginger, garlic, cinnamon and allspice. Cook and stir for 30 seconds, or until fragrant.
- Add the tomatoes and chicken broth. Cook a few minutes longer, until heated through. Pour mixture into slow cooker and add the dried halved apricots. Place chicken on top of the mixture and cover.
- Cook on low for 5-6 hours or on high for 3-4.
- When done, shred the chicken with two forks and mix together.
- Serve atop vegetable of choice (kale, winter squash, etc.). I used mashed butternut squash.
Yields: 4-5 servings

Hey! Unrelated question for ya :) regarding coffee…I've never ever had it and wondering about it. I have a feeling I'd find it disgusting and with my digestive issues all signs point to NOT having it (I ought to be having green smoothies instead or juices, jeesh….). BUT, I almost wonder if it'd make me "go" in the mornings…I have no coffee machine. What about the little packets I saw in Sobeys? There's one with 6 single packets that says "Single Serve – Nescafe – Tasters Choice " …the ingredients say 100% coffee…is that …okay? And what is the nutriton in it (calories, etc..Ii ask simply because I'm absolutely wondering about that…always kinda wondered). AND if you do have it and (like me) want to see if it will make you "go" is it best to drink it before breakfast (and wait a bit to see if it "works" ) or after breakfast?….anyway, thanks :)
Erin says :
This was so good! I didn't have any chicken breasts around so I used some skin on thighs. I browned them skin side down, then reserved some of the fat to saute the onions, etc. Then removed the skin and dumped it all in the crock pot in the order you suggested. It was so amazing! Even my husband who doesn't like this flavor profile at all, loved it. I served it over cubes of roasted butternut squash (tossed in more of the reserved chicken fat). Had the left overs for lunch at work today! I'm thinking it might be good with beef too…. Or a little coconut milk added at the end…. THANKS fellow Portlander!
kristen says :
smitten with your blog – and this recipe which i am making for the second time tonight! Thanks for the great ideas! and happy birthday!
fosterima says :
I have this in the slow-cooker right now! Had some bone-in, skin-on drumsticks so I used half those, half boneless skinless thighs – I'll pick the skin and bones out later. I also ran short on apricots so i used a few prunes as well. Will let you know how it works!
Lydia says :
There is just something about the combination of apricot and chicken that is downright amazing! This looks like a recipe I'll need to try!
Thanks for contributing your recipe to my 125+ Gluten-Free Slow Cooker Recipes post!

First - Get new donors
Second - Cause your current donors to donate more often
Third - Persuade your donors to make larger donations.
If you can do one of these things, your donations will grow. That's good, but...if you can do all three things, your donations will grow grow grow! That means, you'll have a lot more money coming in...and coming in a lot faster.
A "501" fundraising video helps you do just that.
Turns people into donors and donors into larger givers
"501" fundraising videos are extraordinary. They have the power to strike an emotional chord in the heart of your donors (and prospective donors). Stephanie Cline at the Harrison Medical Center Foundation found that out. To read how she raised $65,000 in 15 minutes using one of our videos, click here.
The Executive Director at Harmony Hill (a cancer retreat center), told me of an unexpected way their video was used to raise money. One of their former participants shared the DVD at his family's reunion. Visibly moved by the video, family members made a donation right then and there.
Makes your job easier with less stress
How many times have you run out of time at work? You just don't seem to have the time to call your donors, let alone your prospective donors. Your job is to raise money, right? :)
But there are days when everything goes right, when you have the time, and you say all the correct things. People give to you without blinking...but then it happens. The next day it's a struggle to even get one gift. Why is that? Did you loose your enthusiasm? Were you tired?
How would you like to bottle up your time, enthusiasm and your energy? ...to be available at any given notice? How would you like a clone of yourself to go out and raise money? To go out there and work tirelessly 24 hours a day, 7 days a week? Wouldn't that be great?
That's exactly what a "501" video does.
It's almost like Free money
Imagine handing your volunteers, friends, donors and family a DVD to share with others. Imagine emailing a link to your video to everyone on your list. How many people do you think would watch it in the first week? How many people can you see it spreading to in the second week? Can you see donors responding to it as it's shown at your gala auction or special event?
Just like in the above Harmony Hills' DVD story, you don't know where your video will end up and who will be writing you a check. But it will happen.
If you'd like to know more about how a "501" video can help you raise more money easier, please email or call me. To view some video samples, click here. Or if you want to know how Stephanie was able to raise $65,000 in 15 minutes, click here.

Diabetes Drugs: Sulfonylureas
Mark Marino
September 18, 2009
Editor's Note: This is the seventh post in our miniseries about diabetes drugs. Tune in on September 25 for the next installment.
Sulfonylureas were among the first oral medicines available for the treatment of Type 2 diabetes. They were discovered by accident in France by a researcher who was working on drugs for typhoid fever. Animals that were given sulfonylureas displayed unusual behaviors and were found to have hypoglycemia (low blood glucose). It was quickly recognized that these drugs could be used for the treatment of diabetes.
The first sulfonylurea became available in 1955. (Notably, metformin was also discovered in a French laboratory and became available in France in 1959, but as I mentioned in a previous post, it was not available in the United States until 1995.) Despite the many new diabetes therapies that have been discovered over the past 50 years, metformin and sulfonylureas are still two of the initial choices for treatment. (For further reading on the early development of these and other diabetes drugs, click here.) Medicines in the sulfonylurea class include chlorpropamide (brand name Diabinese), glyburide (DiaBeta, Glynase, Micronase), glipizide (Glucotrol), glipizide extended-release (Glucotrol XL), and glimepiride (Amaryl).
Insulin is found in small packets inside the beta cells of the pancreas. The release of these packets is set off by rising calcium concentrations inside the cells. Sulfonylureas trigger a rise in calcium, and the subsequent release of insulin, by inhibiting the action of a protein that brings potassium molecules into the cells. The result of this inhibition is a change in the charge (or voltage) of the cells' membranes, which allows calcium to enter the cells.
Since sulfonylureas work by stimulating the pancreas to release insulin, they are only useful in people with Type 2 diabetes whose beta cells still produce insulin. Additionally, although sulfonylureas stimulate the release of insulin, they do not reduce insulin resistance, a common feature of Type 2 diabetes.
Because sulfonylureas have been available since the 1950's, they have a long history of clinical use. These medicines are considered to be a core treatment, in combination with metformin, when metformin, diet, and exercise alone are not sufficient for controlling blood glucose. (Another therapy considered in this case is the addition of insulin to metformin.) Sulfonylureas have gone through several steps of development and are categorized as first-, second-, or third-generation drugs. The main difference between the generations is how well they bind to the sulfonylurea receptor, with each progressive generation binding more tightly and thus requiring a lower dose to bring about the same amount of insulin secretion.
Sulfonylureas have a substantial effect on HbA1c (an indicator of blood glucose control over the previous 2–3 months) levels, working faster than many other oral medicines and resulting in average HbA1c reductions of roughly 1.5%. As was shown in the "A Diabetes Outcome Progression Trial," or ADOPT, which followed people with Type 2 diabetes for five years, these medicines result in reductions in fasting blood glucose and HbA1c levels in the first several months of use. Unfortunately, the effects of the sulfonylureas were not sustained over the five-year trial period. ADOPT also indicated that sulfonylureas increase how well the beta cells of the pancreas function early on in the course of therapy, but again, this effect was shown to decline over the five-year period studied. (Given that the insulin-producing beta cells acted upon by sulfonylureas tend to decrease in function and number as diabetes progresses, the decline in these effects is not surprising.)
Sulfonylureas have a number of side effects, the most prominent of which is weight gain (roughly four pounds, on average). These drugs can also cause hypoglycemia, which can be severe and long lasting. Because sulfonylureas are eliminated from the body by the kidneys, decreased kidney function may lead to increased blood levels of the medicine, with a subsequent increased risk of side effects. Certain drugs such as fluconazole (Diflucan) may interfere with the metabolism of sulfonylureas, leading to an increased level of sulfonylureas in the blood.

Dear Mark Would it not be better to put the patients on a low dose of insulin instead of the sulfonyl ureas you would have better control and you wonder if forcing the pancreas to produce more exhausts the organ faster? The profession and publican medical opinion seems to be divided on this issue.
Posted by: CalgaryDiabetic | Sep 24, 2009 12:29 PM
As per the guidelines from the American Diabetes Association and European Association for the Study of Diabetes, either insulin or sulfonylureas are the preferred therapies to be added on to metformin. There is some debate in the literature as to whether sulfonylureas accelerate the decreased response of the beta cell which occurs over time in people with Type 2 diabetes. (Click here for more information.) What is known is that blood glucose control is lost earlier in the course of therapy with sulfonylureas than with other types of therapy.
Posted by: Mark T. Marino | Sep 29, 2009 08:38 AM
When I was diagnosed (T2) two years ago, fasting BG was 285, A1c was 11.3. I was started on Metformin 1,000 mg 2 x day, it stabilized my BG but didn't really reduce it much. After a few weeks, Glimepiride (generic Amaryl) 4 mg 2 x day was added. My BG dropped to less than 100 average within days. At my 6 month blood test, my A1c was down to 6.0, and I averaged about 85 on my finger prick blood tests. Both of these drugs are miracles in my mind. I've had no complications, and my test results remain stable to this day.

Mom always said, "If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all."
Mom, of course, pre-dates the internet. Had she been aware of the impact of social media, she might have added "ESPECIALLY on Facebook!"
By now, we all know that social media can both be a powerful tool and an unintentional (and often self-directed) weapon. You've probably already seen the post about the woman who got fired for complaining about her boss here (disclaimer – contains adult language).
While no one save the two participants can tell if the depicted firing actually occurred, a more recent example is making its way into the Connecticut court system. It seems Dawnmarie Souza was actually fired by American Medical Response for criticizing her supervisor on Facebook. American Medical Response feels Ms. Souza violated a company policy disallowing "any employee from depicting the company in any way on social media websites without permission."
The National Labor Relations Board has taken an interest, and filed a complaint on Ms. Souza's behalf – its first ever on the subject of negative social media postings. We predict the trend toward litigation will continue – the most applicable case law, like Mom, pre-dates the internet. The article points out how the relatively new landscape of social media has much nuance to it, and there are multiple ways in which a similar case might differ from Ms. Souza's.
Just as much as the embarrassing pictures from Mardi Gras can come back to haunt you on Facebook, so too can a status update with a suggestion to your manager about what he or she should do with your job.
Seems Mom was right after all…

Exploring the city - Situationist style
The Situationists, past and present, have explored the limits and possibilities of public space, from Derives to the Surveillance Camera Players. We will read the texts and theories behind these explorations while at the same time, getting out and pushing the boundaries of our city. Class will meet in a different location every week, have a brief discussion, go out and explore the city, and meet again to compare experiences. We'll meet all four Saturdays in April, rain or shine.
Facilitator email(s):

We'll meet downtown at the Government Center at 1:00. See you there!
Meeting Place This Saturday, the 17th
The Exploring the City class will meet again at the government center. It's a nice open space and hardly anyone around so we can talk a little bit and those of you would didn't make it last week can introduce yourselves.
Again, the government center is in downtown minneapolis on 5th St. between 3rd & 4th Avenues. It's directly off the light rail. If you have any questions or problems finding it, give me a call at 651-276-4758.

Well, I don't have ISPConfig (yet) so this is what I think what needs to be done but be carefull:
Once you have the backup of all ISPConfig related stuff then you must set it up back on the new server. Once ISPConfig is working there, then you can put the backup files back on the new server. Hence extracting the mysql dbs, the mail folders and webfolders. Important thing - in my opinion - is that you keep all the permissions right.
Ok, but how I will get the ISPC-users and groups completely with there passwords placed in the new ISPC that they will work there and which files from ISPC exactly are essential to get the transfer managed?
Maybe Falko or Till have an step by step howto to manage the "I hope never will happend process" only to feel a little bit more secure if I would use ISP an a productive system. I think that's quite importent.

Thats a matter of course. And I would try to play back everything until I will decide to use ISPC productive.

GUP #41 features miners, firemen, farmers, boxers and dockworkers. We focus, in other words, on people that enable our society to
function, through their expertise and hard labour. However odd their jobs might be.
We need a fresh start. Everything has to change. Our lifestyle, our (social) climate or 'milieu'… it's rotten, and it's stinking up the joint. We need to escape this dreadful situation that we're living in today and create an alternate reality. GUP #39 is all about Utopia.
The greater Los Angeles area holds close to 18 million people within almost 5,000 square miles – the size of a small country! Is it the ultimate paradise? Or is America's most massive human creation hiding the face of the apocalypse?! Issue #37 is all about LA.
Wingding, hoopla, hullabaloo! GUP#35 is all about celebration.
Stories, the theme for this issue, are essential to human being. Simple as that: we cannot live without telling them to each other. They are the vehicles for our communication.
As we slowly pull ourselves out of the darkness of another European winter, one country is already dominating the first half of 2014: all eyes are on Brazil, for obvious reasons…but let's look beyond the pitch, towards another view on the country.
To acknowledge the team efforts that often go into works of photography, GUP #38 is all about a revival in the wisdom of '1+1=3'.
With the twenty-first century only in the beginning of its second decade, we decided to focus on what has been, ever since its earliest days, a significant motivation in our visual media: to see with new eyes. In other words, to discover 'new realities'.
Liberated from the boundaries usually set by the chosen themes, this time we decided to define our personal preferences.
What is Mexican photography? Well, there is no clear definition. But after being invited by the Gimnasio de Arte y Cultura for a portfolio review session in Mexico City in September 2011, GUP has discovered its depth and richness.

Below is a brief description of three recent transactions.Nivel Parts & Manufacturing Company, LLC / Kelso & Company GE Capital Markets and Ares Capital served as joint lead arrangers and joint bookrunners in a $150 million senior secured credit facility provided by the SSLP to support the acquisition of Nivel Parts & Manufacturing Company, LLC by Kelso & Company. Nivel is a leading provider of golf car aftermarket parts and accessories. In addition, GE Capital, through its GE Antares Capital subsidiary, provided a $20 million senior secured revolving credit facility in support of the transaction. Pregis Corporation / AEA Investors LP GE Capital Markets and Ares Capital served as joint lead arrangers and joint bookrunners in a $142.5 million senior secured term loan led by the SSLP to support the refinancing of Pregis Corporation by AEA Investors LP.

New York lawmakers are calling on the federal government to leave Hurricane Sandy aid untouched.
The call comes because of a dispute over how the law that allocated the funding was worded.
The federal Department of Housing and Urban Development, or HUD, says the law allows it to spread some of the remaining $3.5 billion in relief funds to other places that have suffered disasters, not just to Sandy recovery.
HUD has reportedly floated the idea of a competition to see where the money should go, but officials like Sen. Charles Schumer say the law clearly puts Sandy recovery first.
"HUD has the power right now to continue to send the Sandy dollars to New York and not divert them to other places," Schumer said. The purpose, the purpose of the Sandy legislation was to help New York and New Jersey first and foremost because we suffered the damage."
HUD says no decisions have been made on funding, and says, "Our number one priority is to continue working with state and local officials to address the remaining unmet needs of those affected by natural disasters."

Planting Out Broadbeans
I planted out my Broadbeans (Fava Beans) this week. I had started them off from seed about three or four weeks ago in these biodegradable pots. I just popped the whole thing in the ground and tucked them in. Nice and easy.
The roots were just about popping out from the bottom of the pots so it was a timely re-plant.
I do like the vibrant green of the Broadbean seedling. It's a great foil to the cold and wet grey days we've been having here. And it feels good to get that much of the garden 'planted up'. The variety is Windsor.
Although, the size of yeild compared to the ground space they use up is quite low, that doesn't matter because Broadbeans are a great early cropping plant. Soon enough they will be gone and composted to make room for a later crop like sweetcorn, Tomatoes, or Pumpkin. They definitely earn their keep in my garden.

Neb. Senator Takes Issue With Student Loan Stance
The Center for Responsive Politics said Nelnet contributed $24,200 to Johanns in the 2008 election cycle.
That put the Lincoln, Neb.-based student loan company as Johanns' third largest contributor ¿ behind Altell Corp. and ConAgra Foods ¿ in his race for the Senate.
But Johanns said he is opposed to direct government lending of student loans because of the impact it would have on "about 1,000 families in Lincoln," with members who work for Nelnet.
"What affects me most are the people who are there who have mortgages to pay and bills to pay, and all of those things, and I just don't think you should make this decision lightly," Johanns said. "It's not just our state; this industry has a presence in many states across the country."The House bill would end government subsidies for private lenders, boost Pell Grants for needy students and create grant programs to improve community colleges and college graduation rates, among other things. Ending private loan subsidies and having the government issue loans directly to students would save taxpayers an estimated $47 billion over 10 years when administrative costs and market conditions are considered, the Congressional Budget Office has said.

Justin Bieber Shocks Fans With "Maria"
Mariah Yeater, the 20-year-old may have dropped her paternity case against Justin Bieber back in November but Justin hasn't dropped the subject. On his brand new album, "Believe," Justin sings about Yeater's accusations that he fathered her child after a backstage tryst during one of his concerts.
Bieber undeniably fires back at the young mother in the song called, "Maria." Take a look at some of the lyrics, "That ain't my baby, that ain't my girl" and "Why are you trying to lie girl when I ain't never met you at all." The tune begins with snippets from reporters, including Today's Matt Lauer, discussing the case on air.
"I wanted to do something that was like…a little shocking," Bieber told Bethenny Frankel. "It was something that I'd been feeling and wanted to tell people. Because at the end of the day, you know things happen and I don't get to really talk about it. People twist my words."

Internship Experiences
An agent of HOPE in Rwanda
– Benjamin Hargrove, Class of 2013
I spent the summer of 2012 working as a finance intern for HOPE International in Kigali, Rwanda. I was given the opportunity to design and test a program that will allow HOPE to … Read more
receive financial information from the savings groups in the rural villages through text message instead of the cumbersome and costly paper-based process that most non-governmental organizations (NGOs) still use.
There are obvious challenges in teaching rural Africans how to do this, especially because many have never sent a text message before and are often illiterate. I traveled around the country with a translator, testing methods to teach and communicate the goals of the program while writing the training manual that will be used to teach the final system to our 135,000 clients all over the country. Rwanda is the first country where HOPE is launching this program but plans to use the information I gathered and the manuals I wrote to design and launch similar systems in several other countries around the world.
I also worked on developing the concepts for a website HOPE can use to tell the stories of what God is doing in Rwanda and inform donors of what their support is going toward. Finally, I worked with a team of five translators to complete monitor and evaluation surveys of more than 500 rural Rwandese in locations all over the country. The purpose was to get a glimpse into the general population and determine if and how our programs are improving the lives of our clients compared to those who are not in any kind of savings groups.
I truly feel that my time in Rwanda had a life-changing impact on me. God orchestrated the entire thing more brilliantly than I could have ever imagined, provided for me financially, and was more present to me in some of the challenges than I have ever experienced before.
I am so thankful to have had an opportunity to be a part of this.

the United States House of Representatives. The Federal Reserve is America's bank. It has the responsibility to maximize employment, keep prices stable, and moderate long-term interest rates by using multiple fiscal and economic levers such as controlling the money supply. I was given the opportunity to work with leading economists and statisticians who make internationally influential decisions.
The Federal Reserve Board serves as oversight for the Reserve System and its 12 regional branches. I worked within the Division of Community and Consumer Affairs at the Federal Reserve Board. I spent my time inputting and analyzing recent World Bank data using statistical cross-country analysis to find correlations of the unbanked and under-banked populations within the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD).
In contributing to this research, it was my responsibility to compile the data and create what is called a "do-file" that is used to program multiple regressions using different strategies. I then interpreted the data and wrote a report that was presented to others within the division, and maybe multiple private and governmental organizations.
I learned countless lessons about the Fed and how it stabilizes our economy. Some highlights were sitting in on a board meeting with Chairman Ben Bernanke and all seven governors. Another highlight was meeting top CEOs and high management and governmental players such as the CEOs of Fidelity, Putnam Investments, the Social Security Administration, the World Bank, and Richard Cordray from the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.

Undergraduate students in George Fox's College of Business routinely gain practical business acumen prior to graduation through the school's internship program.
Emphasis on Business Experience
Students who enroll in one of George Fox's seven undergraduate business majors won't be relagated to learning out of a textbook. They can learn firsthand from business professionals in real-world work environments.
Internship opportunities are planned in the Newberg and Portland, Ore., areas, as well as in China – a country George Fox has aggressively partnered with, both in terms of student recruitment and business engagement.
Participants will include businesses in the nonprofit sector, small businesses, entrepreneurial ventures and multi-million-dollar corporations. Interns will work in finance, accounting, sales, management, marketing and in environments that offer the chance to learn all facets of business practice.
Internships List
Company internships our students have had or are currently in process with include:
- A-dec (dental manufacturing company), Newberg
- Allison Inn and Spa, Newberg
- Ambassador Wealth Management, Vancouver, Washington
- American Family Insurance, Newberg
- Delap, Lake Oswego
- Deloitte, Portland
- Edward Jones, Portland
- Jackson Hewitt, Portland
- Keen Footwear, Portland
- KPMG, Portland
- KUNP-TV Univision, Portland
- Omniguard Security, Portland
- Open Arms International, Beaverton
- Siemens, Tualatin
- SP Fiber Technologies, Newberg
- Symantec, Beaverton
- Walt Disney Company, Los Angeles
The College of Business hosted an Internship Spotlight event to highlight internship experiences. Click here to read about the evening and students' takeaways from it.
Service-oriented Approach
As part of its commitment to social responsibility, the School of Business is committed to service-oriented projects, such as taking on real-world case studies as part of the business curriculum. Rather than doing these studies out of a textbook, for instance, classes will offer consulting services to a business in the community.
Such class projects achieve a twofold purpose: They provide students with the opportunity to apply what they've learned in class to a tangible business scenario, and the client benefits from the expertise of a team and avoids the substantial cost of hiring a consulting firm.
VPs, CEOs Visit CampusIn addition to arranging internships off campus, the school is committed to exposing students to business professionals – including company CEOs and VPs – through in-class lecture appearances and as part of the Executive in Residence program. Recent in-class guests have included Bob Moore from Bob's Red Mill of Milwaukie, Ore.; Frank Thom, head of industry for Google's technology sector; and Kris Ordaz, VP of digital strategy and marketing for Katylyst.
The Executive in Residence Day is designed to bring business executives to campus to engage students and faculty in the critical business issues of the day. Executives attend and participate in actual business classes, informally network with students and give a public lecture at the end of the day.
Past Executives in Residence
- Marshall Stevens, developed Oil Can Henry's, a chain of 30 quick lube stores in the Northwest
- Greg Goodwin, president and CEO of Kuni Enterprises
- Richard Reiten, retired president and CEO of Northwest Natural
- John Dannemiller, retired president and CEO of Applied Industrial Technologies
- Mohan Nair, chief innovation officer, Regence Blue Cross Blue Shield
- Bob Moore, founder, president and CEO of Bob's Red Mill Natural Foods Inc.
- Tom Mears, chairman of The Holland, Inc., parent company to Burgerville
National Accreditation
The George Fox College of Business is accredited nationally with the Accreditation Council for Business Schools & Programs (ACBSP). The college offers seven undergraduate business majors – in accounting, economics, finance, global business, entrepreneurship, marketing
and management.
From the Director
As director of business relations for the George Fox College of Business, Jeff VandenHoek is focused on building relationships with the business community and connecting students with those with industry expertise. All connections support enhanced, dynamic learning opportunities and practical experiences necessary for student learning and early career success.
"I love the privilege and responsibility for supporting student learning success through intentional business connections. Listening to a business expert share in a class, experiencing a group of students sharing their report findings to an executive team in a 12th-floor conference room in downtown Portland, and hearing from an employer who just had an excellent internship experience with one of our fine students ... these are the dynamic learning and business engagements that breathe life into our great programs. In this new position for the School of Business, I get to build upon the great programs we currently have and help them become even better!"

Grounds Highlight
The admissions field was renovated in order to provide a more useable recreational area for students. We identified admissions field as an important open space for the College and wanted to make sure that we maintain it in a way that benefits the campus visually as well as recreationally. The turf on the admissions field was transplanted from the stadium field when that field was re-graded and renovated in 2007. The turf is a Bermuda grass which can stand up to higher recreational use and is more disease resistant than the fescue/bluegrass mix that we use elsewhere on campus. In order to establish and maintain the turf, the College came up with an innovative method of using the stormwater that is stored in the Townhouse pond. By using the pond water, we are eliminating the use of potable water for the irrigation of this field.
Building Spotlight
We're pleased to present to you the Annual Water Quality Report for 2013. This report is designed to inform you about the water quality and services we deliver to you every day. Our goal is to provide you with a safe and dependable supply of drinking water. More than 800 tests for over 120 compounds were conducted on the water at St. Mary's College. Maryland Environmental Service, an Agency of the State of Maryland, operates the St. Mary's College water treatment facility, and prepared this report. We want you to understand the efforts made to continually improve the water treatment process and protect our water resources. We are committed to ensuring the quality of your water. We're pleased to report that your drinking water consistently met both Federal and State requirements. This report shows the water quality and explains what it means. If you have any questions about this report or have questions concerning your water utility, please contact Mr. Jay Janney of Maryland Environmental Service at 410-729-8350 or firstname.lastname@example.com We want everyone to be informed about their water.

Based in Antwerp, Belgium, the design collective works from the former solar panel shop, turning it into an event space at will. They employ recycled and found materials in their décor as a tribute to the shop's former use. For their most recent pop-up, Atelier Solarshop scoured the streets of Antwerp for discarded mirrors, and fallen tree branches.
Thick, knotty branches serve as racks to display handmade clothing designed by one member of the collective. Pieces of tree stumps display vases and hand bags, and discarded wood has been used to build makeshift platforms for wallets and clutches.
The group constructed an arched half wall to divide the space into boutique-like areas. They cut pieces of scrap paper into rectangles, then hung the sheets in rows on either side of the wall, emulating the bark of the found branches. The effect resembles a blown-up cross-section of a tree, or a hut found in the forest.
The designers' wares are arranged like an art installation, engaging visitors in a more creative way than a standard retail shop might. The mirrors are placed about to reflect the wares and the store's wood elements.
Atelier Solarshop's pop-up shops are an extension of the collective's creativity – they combine each member's design aesthetic with the sustainable history of their location.

As water temperatures rise, manatees will be arriving in our local waterways. Researchers at the Dauphin Island Sea Lab's Manatee Sighting Network (DISL/MSN) gear up for another busy sighting season. DISL/MSN reminds boaters in Alabama and Mississippi to help manatees migrate safely by boating with caution and looking out for manatees when on the water. "The best rule of thumb is to stay at least 100 feet from manatees since they are federally protected and report any sightings as soon as possible," says Senior Marine Scientist, Dr. Ruth Carmichael. "It is important to remember that manatees are not always alone. If you see one, there may be more, and they can be tough to see, especially in our turbid waters."
MSN researchers are also anticipating the return of four manatees tagged in Alabama waters last summer, including a manatee recently nicknamed "Brodie" during the first ever Alabama Manatee Naming Contest. In August 2012, all four manatees were equipped with GPS transmitting tags that allow MSN to directly follow the manatees' movements. The four tagged manatees spent the winter at warm water refuges in the St. Petersburg and Tampa, Florida areas and are making their way back to Alabama.
MSN relies on the public to report manatee sightings in the northern Gulf of Mexico. You can help by reporting any and all manatee sightings to the MSN research team 24 hours a day, 7 days a week by phone (1-866-493-5803), email (email@example.com), or online sighting form (manatee.disl.org).
Founded in 2007, DISL's Manatee Sighting Network is the only formal manatee sighting network in the U.S. that is dedicated to receiving and mapping every manatee sighting from western Florida through Mississippi. Since its inception, over 1,000 manatee sightings have been reported to MSN. Part of MSN's research focuses on defining where manatees live and what they eat while visiting Alabama and surrounding waters. DISL's MSN encourages manatee spotters to report their sightings as soon as possible. "Our primary goal this time of year is to remind people that manatees are here and that the sighting network is active. We really depend on the public to report every sighting, any time, as soon as possible," states Dr. Carmichael.
You can assist our research and help protect manatees in Alabama & surrounding waters:
