We had so much fun with Miss J! She looked so much like Bada from SES, even though she had no idea who she was. We said that as a compliment, since we Koreans can't look like Faith Hill or Jessica Alba. Looking like a Korean pop star is the next best thing we got! Miss J wanted a clean, classic and very natural look with lots of lashes!

Interest in alternative investments has never been stronger, but the paths to opportunities in this industry are not always clearly marked. The SEO Alternative Investments program provides education, exposure, training and mentoring opportunities to talented professionals from backgrounds traditionally underrepresented in the alternative investments sector. It includes two main initiatives:
The SEO Alternative Investments Fellowship Program (AIFP) is a ten-month educational program that combines training and mentoring to strengthen first-and-second-year analysts' current skills and preparation to compete for positions in private equity and other alternative investments. The participating Fellowship program partners are Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co. and TPG.
The annual SEO Alternative Investments Conference promotes diversity by providing a day of educational panels and networking, increasing access and career development for professionals who are traditionally underrepresented in the alternatives sector.
In addition, the SEO Career program has partnered with CCMP Capital, Pantheon Ventures and GCM Grosvenor to identify undergraduate talent for their summer analyst programs, providing another pathway for motivated individuals to gain access to the industry.
ICV Partners and Warburg Pincus have also recently joined as corporate sponsors of SEO Alternative Investments to help advance the mission of increasing diversity in the industry.
Most recently, The Carlyle Group has joined as the principal partner in SEO's Private Equity Prep Program.

Palestinian group Hamas has declared that the six-month ceasefire between Israel and the Gaza Strip is over.
The ceasefire officially ended at daybreak in Gaza on Friday and came after armed Palestinian groups admitted that they had been using the truce to train and better arm themselves.
The Izz-al-din al-Qassam Brigades, the armed wing of the Hamas movement, blamed Israel for the failure of the truce. "The ceasefire is over and there won't be a renewal because the Zionist enemy has not respected its conditions," the group said on its website.
The announcement followed talks between various Palestinian factions within the Hamas-controlled Gaza Strip.
"The first day since the end of the truce has actually been marked by relative calm," Al Jazeera's Ayman Mohyeldin reported from Gaza.
But Palestinians fear the ceasefire's end will mean the resumption of daily Israeli incursions and air raids across the territory, our correspondent said.
Two rockets were fired from the Gaza Strip into southern Israel shortly after Hamas declared that the ceasefire had ended, the Israeli military said.
No injuries or material damage were caused by the rockets, an Israeli military spokeswoman said.Escalation fearsWhile Hamas stopped short of threatening an escalation in military action and neither side has said it will go on the offensive, Fawzi Barhum, a Hamas spokesman, underlined that Hamas has "the right to respond to any Zionist aggression against the Palestinian people".
Ehud Barak, the Israeli defence minister, had indicated earlier that Israel would respond if attacked.
Al Jazeera's Jacky Rowland, reporting from Jerusalem, said Israel had been keen to extend the Egyptian-brokered truce - particularly as the country is expected to hold a general election in February.Hamas and the Israelis have blamed each other for violating the ceasefire agreed to in June, with Israel saying it would re-open border crossings and end military operations when Gazan fighters stopped launching rocket attacks on southern Israel.Abu Ahmed, a spokesman for Islamic Jihad's military wing, the al-Quds Brigades, said that his group had strengthened during the truce."During the calm we trained and prepared ourselves for the period after the calm. We will deploy to the front lines along the border and reinforce our positions there with new weapons that we have brought," he said.
Israel has long complained that Palestinian armed groups use periods of ceasefire to regroup and procure more weapons.'Human crisis'Meanwhile, a UN report said that Israel's blockade of the Gaza Strip had created a "profound human dignity crisis".The UN Office for the Co-ordination of Humanitarian Affairs said unemployment now stands at 49 per cent, up from 32 per cent a year ago.
Many residents of Gaza City are without power for up to 16 hours a day and half the residents receive water only once a week for a few hours, the report said. Eighty per cent of the drinking water is substandard.The report came after the UN agency stoppped food aid to about half of the strip's 1.5 million people after the blockade caused it to run out of wheat flour.Robert Serry, the UN envoy to the Middle East, warned that "a major escalation of violence would have grave consequences for the protection of civilians in Israel and Gaza". "A priority must be to ensure calm in and around Gaza and urgently improve humanitarian conditions," he said.

Spend your Easter in Iceland
Easter is one of the best times to visit Iceland. The weather is usually good, the sun is shining longer with each day and you can eat your fill of the wonderful chocolate Easter eggs, there are plenty of those to go around. Are you still wandering what to do in Iceland during Easter?
For Icelanders Easter is a time for winter sports so head to the various ski areas around Iceland and ski with the locals. Reykjavik's ski area is called Bláfjöll (Blue Mountains) and is a 20-30 minute drive outside the city. Mt. Hlíðarfjall above Akureyri in northern Iceland is probably the best ski resort in Iceland and if you travel to the Westfjords you can kill two birds with one stone, skiing and attending one of the biggest music festivals in Iceland at the same time.
Just outside the town of Isafjordur in the Westfjords there is an excellent ski area and during Easter the town is home to a pretty relaxed music feast called "Aldrei fór ég suður" (I never went south) and also dubbed as The common peoples Rock Festival. The festival has now become one of the most popular music festivals in Iceland, especially considering that it's held so far from the capital.
Be prepared for an amazing musical experience and listen to the best of Icelandic music in a magnificent environment. If you're going, make sure you're there by Thursday. As tradition dictates, a little foreplay is in order before the real program starts on Friday. Entrance is free of charge. You just have to get yourself over there by plane, coach or car. WOW air promises to offer cheap flights to Iceland, the rest is up to you!

Veterans Affairs:
Lack of Accountability and Control Weaknesses over IT Equipment at Selected VA Locations
GAO-07-1100T: Published: Jul 24, 2007. Publicly Released: Jul 24, 2007.
Additional Materials:
- Highlights Page:
- Full Report:
- Accessible Text:
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
In July 2004, GAO reported that the six Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) medical centers it audited lacked a reliable property control database and had problems with implementation of VA inventory policies and procedures. Fewer than half the items GAO selected for testing could be located. Most of the missing items were information technology (IT) equipment. In light of these concerns and recent thefts of laptops and data breaches at VA, this testimony focuses on (1) the risk of theft, loss, or misappropriation of IT equipment at selected locations; (2) whether selected locations have adequate procedures in place to assure accountability and physical security of IT equipment in the excess property disposal process; and (3) what actions VA management has taken to address identified IT inventory control weaknesses. GAO statistically tested inventory controls at four case study locations.
A weak overall control environment for VA IT equipment at the four locations GAO audited poses a significant security vulnerability to the nation's veterans with regard to sensitive data maintained on this equipment. GAO's Standards for Internal Control in the Federal Government requires agencies to establish physical controls to safeguard vulnerable assets, such as IT equipment, which might be vulnerable to risk of loss, and federal records management law requires federal agencies to record essential transactions. However, GAO found that current VA property management policy does not provide guidance for creating records of inventory transactions as changes occur. GAO also found that policies requiring annual inventories of sensitive items, such as IT equipment; adequate physical security; and immediate reporting of lost and missing items have not been enforced. GAO's statistical tests of physical inventory controls at four VA locations identified a total of 123 missing IT equipment items, including 53 computers that could have stored sensitive data. The lack of user-level accountability and inaccurate records on status, location, and item descriptions make it difficult to determine the extent to which actual theft, loss, or misappropriation may have occurred without detection. GAO also found that the four VA locations reported over 2,400 missing IT equipment items, valued at about $6.4 million, identified during physical inventories performed during fiscal years 2005 and 2006. Missing items were often not reported for several months and, in some cases, several years. It is very difficult to investigate these losses because information on specific events and circumstances at the time of the losses is not known. GAO's limited tests of computer hard drives in the excess property disposal process found hard drives at two of the four case study locations that contained personal information, including veterans' names and Social Security numbers. GAO's tests did not find any remaining data after sanitization procedures were performed. However, weaknesses in physical security at IT storage locations and delays in completing the data sanitization process heighten the risk of data breach. Although VA management has taken some actions to improve controls over IT equipment, including strengthening policies and procedures, improving the overall control environment for sensitive IT equipment will require a renewed focus, oversight, and continued commitment throughout the organization.

Apple Makes Bold Move Into Social Media Space With Acquisition Of Twitter Analytics Firm Topsy
Apple doesn't do social media. Right?
With the exception of the ill-advised Ping and Apple's iTunes social media profiles on Twitter and Facebook, that's largely true: Apple doesn't do social media. And when they've done it in the past (i.e., the aforementioned Ping), they've done it poorly.
Well, maybe that's about to change, as the Cuppertino giant has just picked up Twitter and social media analytics firm Topsy for a cool $200 million. And nobody knows what's going to happen next.

"There is a demand for workcell systems that speak to individual product and setting needs," said RobotWorx President Jarrod Bichon. "Cookie-cutter robot systems don't work for every situation."
RobotWorx' custom robotic workcells include all the standard components: industrial robots, controls, positioners, and safety features. However, each component can be tailored to fit unique criteria.
A prepared statement from the company noted that the RobotWorx' integration team can design workcells with extremely compact footprints or configure systems that work with specific conveyor arrangements.
Positioners, responsible for keeping or bringing products within a robot's work envelope, range from static or rotating worktables to headstock and tailstocks. Customized robotic workcells can be outfitted with the customer's choice of new or reconditioned robots, peripherals, and safety features. Reconditioned robot arms and other workcell parts can effectively reduce the overall cost of a system, the statement noted.
As a Motoman Solution Provider, FANUC Authorized System Integrator, and KUKA Robotics System Partner, RobotWorx carries standard workcells such as the Motoman ArcWorld systems. In addition, RobotWorx has designed its own line of turnkey robotic workcells. These RobotWorx systems currently include the RW900, RW1000, RW1050, RW1050S, RW1450 and RW2450. While each of these systems accommodate a certain degree of customization, RobotWorx' custom workcell option makes it clear this robotic integration company invites requests for less conventional systems.

Preferred alternative title: "This Is Not from a Bottle" Allison is not herself and is speaking French! Her name is Sandra. What? Once again, the writers have outdone themselves: They had a fantastic premise, in which the soul of a dead person inhabiting Allison's matronly body to turn it into a sexy, trash-talking, gym-suit-wearing one. Some fantastic lines in this episode included the following charmers with Allison-as-Sandra to Joe: "Turn around; this isn't cable." "Nice wardrobe. Who does your styling? Homer Simpson?" Now them's just fighting words, little Miss Whosey-Whatsit. We all love Joe's blue boxers. She even has the nerve to refer to our lord and savior, Joe, as he who may wipe the bottom (but may not be written hence). All the while Bridge is having a breakdown... only later do we find out, "We are completely out of toilet paper in here!" Once again the reference to bottoms in need of wiping. Lots of potty jokes tonight. In other words, the show in which Joe finally gets his moment in the sun! Two hips, hooray. It was about time. This talented actor puts his all into every week, I truly believe, but he generally plays second fiddle to Patricia's major fifth. I think we should have more shows that spotlight one or more actors. This is by no means meant to infer that I don't like to see Patricia strutting her psychic stuff all over the place. It just means one week Joe, maybe another week of Scanlon. Then back again to Joe, Scanlon. Couldn't hurt, could it? The girls even get a little more action this week with Ariel taunting Bridge like only an older sister can. Bridgette's grade-school popularity is warranted, as far as I'm concerned. Bridge has seven boyfriends this year for Valentine's Day. And then the melodic and dulcet tones of Ms. Corinne Bailey Rae provide a sweet refrain. Now if I can just go ahead and toot Ms. Arquette's horn for a second, was she not fabulous as this other woman, Sandra O'Bannon? She even looked different to me. She definitely sounded different, and it was almost creepy. Plus, how cute did she look with that haircut and that little jumpsuit? More proof of this show's copious talent from both cast and crew. Furthermore, Allison-as-Sandra's turn as the mother of "The Children" was hysterical. When she turned to them and waved like the queen mum, not wanting to get close, I was beside myself. Then she calls the girls Arianna, Belinda and Cherie. When Joe corrected her, she replied, "Maybe I'll just call 'em 'girls.'" Great Joe lines: "Not while you're wearing my wife." "She was perfectly lucid, just like someone else." "We have three kids; that's plenty of excitement." "You take the bridge side." But the winner for best-father and husband-of-the-year award goes to Joe for saying, and actually believing, the following: "Being with Allison is the party... and there's no better place to have a party than at home with the kids." Joe gets to run through a rainbow of emotions, kind of like the Lucky Charms of feelings. Joe is verklempt. Joe is angry. Joe is sad. Joe is scared. Joe is fighting for his wife. Joe is torn up. Joe is mad. Joe is frustrated, frazzled and bedazzled. (Did you see "Sandra" in that Valentine's Day dress? Ooh, la la.) Joe is showcased in the very dramatic half-lighting. Then Joe stands with the golden lights behind him. All very Polish cinema, if you ask me. Scanlon and his soft speak had a couple of good lines, but my favorite was to Joe: "Look on the bright side, at least you didn't wake up as Mr. O'Bannon." And D.A. Devalos is on my poop list tonight for not pulling enough strings to keep Allison out of jail and sending her to a mental institution. For all that woman has done for you and the city of Phoenix, couldn't you show her just a modicum of respect? Huh? I'm expecting at least a dozen long-stemmed roses and a box of chocolates to consider letting you out of the doghouse, Mr. By-the-Book. As for Ariel, aka the Littlest Detective... perhaps she could start working with Scanlon to bring his crime-busting rating up. She also gets told she's the boss. If this were the '80s, Tony Danza would be out of a job. Thomas and his hooker, oh sorry, his wife, had a fight in the car. They have a fantastic relationship: She hates him and I am pretty sure he feels the same way about her. Nothing worse than the cigarette flung out the window that somehow magically reappears on the floor of the backseat where no one can reach it without wrenching their bodies out of whack. Fortunately, this leads to Tom driving into a tree; we'll be better off without either of them. But soon we find out it was all planned. Bad man with a good line: "Son-of-a-b--ch, that hurt." After Tom learns his wife is still alive, he hits her with the shovel and the crunching sound is just gross. Tom was a plastic surgeon who made his lover look like his wife so they could kill said wife and get away with it and her gazillions of dollars. Look, people, these plans never work. Didn't they read the small print on the bottom of the screen? "Do not try this at home." Sandra finally left Allison when she saw herself dead, and thank goodness, because I wasn't sure by that point if I could take the affected accept for a moment longer. But then Joe fell apart when he heard Allison's voice for the first time in days. And again, the heart, it broke a little. The call Joe left for Allison to wish her, wherever she is, a Happy Valentine's Day was heart-wrenching: "You know I gotta tell you, hearing the message, the one before the beep, that was the highlight of my day. At least I know that that's you. Good god almighty, Allison, where are you? I miss you." Joe tells Allison he didn't get her anything for V-day.... But she says she got it, she just checked her voicemail. She left him one, too. He listens to his, "That woman is a mind reader." Too true, Joe, too true. (Anyone want to guess what she said?) OK, I'm going to have to put my foot down. I like Corinne Bailey Rae as much as the next person, but this show used snippets of her song "Like a Star" on 12 separate occasions. The first time was lovely, the second very nice, by the third I thought, "So who is the music supervisor on this show, Corinne's manager?" By the fifth time, I was thinking it was her record company, but by the 12th time I was sure it was her mother. I am all for creative uses of songs in TV shows, and appreciate that if you use one song throughout, it is cheaper than 12 different ones, but by the end I was begging for anything, even heavy metal or Paul Anka. Happy Valentine's Day, folks. Hope your day was full of chocolates and... more chocolates. What more do you need, really?

The flotilla is aiming to provide aid to Gazans indefiance of an Israeli blockade
A flotilla of aid ships bound for the Gaza Strip has left Cyprus, organisers say.
Five ships left the island around 5am local time (2am GMT) and are expected to reach Gazan waters late on Sunday afternoon.
Two other ships were damaged over the weekend, and remain in port. Organisers say they might launch a second smaller flotilla on Tuesday, which would include the two damaged ships, plus a third which has yet to arrive.
Breaking siege"Now we are thinking of sending a second wave of boats including these two and the Rachel Corrie, which is still en route" from Ireland, said Audrey Bomse, an adviser to the Free Gaza Movement.Hundreds of pro-Palestinian activists are on board the flotilla, which aims to reach Gaza in defiance of an Israeli embargo on the territory. The flotilla was originally made up of nine ships - from Turkey, the UK, Ireland, Greece, Kuwait and Algeria -carrying roughly 10,000 tonnes of aid, including cement, water purification systems and wheelchairs.
It was initially expected that the flotilla would set sail on Saturday, but it was delayed over the weekend due to mechanical problems.
The boats were forced to anchor off the coast of Cyprus this weekend.Hamas, the de facto rulers of the Gaza Strip, have said that the flotilla was about to make history, sending "a strong message that the blockade imposed on the Gaza Strip ... will be broken".
Israel said the boats were embarking on "an act of provocation" with the Israeli military rather than providing aid, and that it had issued warrants to prohibit their entrance to Gaza.
It asserted that the flotilla would be breaking international law by landing in Gaza, a claim the organisers angrily denied.
Israel has said that it will intercept the boats and detain those on board in the port of Ashdod.

USS Rodney M. Davis, an Oliver Hazard Perry class guided-missile frigate built at San Pedro, California, was commissioned in May 1987. The next year, following shakedown, she was sent to Japan to join the Seventh Fleet. Operating out of her homeport at Yokosuka, she has subsequently served in the Western Pacific and made several deployments to the Persian Gulf area. In May 1989, she was one of three Seventh Fleet ships to visit at Shanghai, China, the first U.S. Navy port call at a mainland Chinese port in over forty years.
USS Rodney M. Davis is named in honor of Sergent Rodney Maxwell Davis (1942-1967), USMC, who was posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor for heroism during the Vietnam War.

Topic Outline
The basic principles of laceration repair have not changed significantly in the last century, but the therapeutic options now available are more innovative and rigorously studied. The development of topical anesthetics, tissue adhesives, and fast-absorbing sutures has made the management of lacerations less traumatic for the patient. In addition, the use of procedural sedation for difficult lacerations or for the extremely anxious child has made the experience more tolerable for the patient, family, and physician.
The goals of wound management are simple: to avoid wound infection, assist in hemostasis, and to provide an esthetically pleasing scar [1]. The majority of studies now are focusing on the esthetic nature of wound healing rather than infection rates, because infection rates remain low, regardless of management.
Laceration repair with sutures will be discussed here. Information concerning wound preparation and irrigation, topical and infiltrative anesthesia, and tissue adhesive and staples is found separately. (See "Closure of minor skin wounds with staples" and "Minor wound preparation and irrigation" and "Minor wound repair with tissue adhesives (cyanoacrylates)".)
The epidermis, dermis, subcutaneous layer, and deep fascia are the tissue layers of concern in wound closure [2]:
●The epidermis and dermis are tightly adhered and clinically indistinguishable, and together constitute the skin. Dermal approximation provides the strength and alignment of skin closure.

New Bedford is a city in Bristol County, Massachusetts, United States, located 51 miles (82 kilometers) south of Boston, 28 miles (45 kilometers) southeast of Providence, Rhode Island, and about 12 miles (19 kilometers) east of Fall River. As of the 2000 census, the city had a total population of 93,768, and an estimated 2008 population of 91,365,[1] making it the seventh-largest city in Massachusetts. New Bedford is nicknamed "The Whaling City" because it was, during the 19th century, one of the most important whaling ports in the world.[2] The city, along with Fall River and Taunton, is one of three cities on the south coast of Massachusetts.
Before the 17th century, the Wampanoags, who had settlements throughout southeastern Massachusetts and Rhode Island, including Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket, were the only inhabitants of the lands along the Acushnet River. Their population is believed to have been about 12,000. While exploring New England, Bartholomew Gosnold landed on Cuttyhunk island on May 15, 1602. From there, he explored Cape Cod and the neighboring areas, including present-day New Bedford. However, rather than settle the area, he returned to England at the request of his crew.
Europeans first settled New Bedford in 1652. Plymouth Colony settlers purchased the land from chief Massasoit of the Wampanoag tribe. Whether the transfer of the land was legitimately done has been the subject of intense controversy. Like other native tribes, the Wampanoags did not share the settlers' concepts of private property. The tribe believed they were granting usage rights to the land, not giving it up permanently.
The settlers used the land to build the colonial town of Old Dartmouth (which encompassed not only present-day Dartmouth, but also present-day New Bedford, Acushnet, Fairhaven, and Westport). A section of Old Dartmouth near the west bank of the Acushnet River, originally called Bedford Village, was officially incorporated as the town of New Bedford in 1787. The name was suggested by the Russell family who were prominent citizens of the community. It comes from the fact that the Dukes of Bedford, a leading English aristocratic house, also bore the surname Russell. (Bedford, Massachusetts had already been incorporated by 1787; hence "New" Bedford.)
The late-18th century was a time of growth for the town. New Bedford's first newspaper, The Medley (also known as New Bedford Marine Journal), came into being in 1792. On June 12, 1792, the town set up its first post office with William Tobey as its first postmaster. The creation of a bridge (originally a toll bridge) between New Bedford and present-day Fairhaven in 1796 also spurred growth. (Fairhaven separated from New Bedford in 1812, forming an independent town that included both present-day Fairhaven and present-day Acushnet.) The town of New Bedford officially became a city in 1847; Abraham Hathaway Howland was elected its first mayor.
Until 1800, New Bedford and its surrounding communities were, by and large, populated by Protestants of English, Scottish, and Welsh origin. During the first half of the 19th century, however, a large wave of Irish people came to Massachusetts.
In 1818, Irish immigrants established the Catholic mission that built St. Mary's Church. Later in that century, immigrants from Portugal and its dependent territories of the Azores, Cape Verde and Madeira began arriving in New Bedford and the surrounding area, largely because of the whaling industry. As the Portuguese community began to increase, they established the first Portuguese parish in the city, St. John the Baptist (1871). The French (chiefly French-Canadian) also secured a foothold in New Bedford at about the same time, and they built the Church of the Sacred Heart in 1877.
Similarly, Polish-Americans established the parish of Our Lady of Perpetual Help in 1903. A number of Jewish families, arriving in the late 19th century, were active in the whaling industry, selling provisions and outfitting ships. During the years leading up to the First World War, a sizable eastern-European Jewish community joined them in New Bedford, many of whom became prominent merchants and businessmen, mainly in textiles and manufacturing.
Paul Cuffee, a whaling captain active in the New Bedford whaling industry, was born in nearby Cuttyhunk and settled in Westport, Massachusetts. Many of his ships sailed out of New Bedford.
Lewis Temple was an African-American blacksmith who invented the toggle iron, a type of toggling harpoon, which revolutionized the whaling industry and enabled the capture of more whales. There is a monument to Temple in downtown New Bedford.
In 1838, Frederick Douglass, the runaway slave who became a famous abolitionist, settled in New Bedford. He writes in detail about the life and times of New Bedford in the late 1840s in his celebrated Autobiography.[3][4][5] A historic building and monument dedicated to Douglass can be found today at the Nathan and Polly Johnson properties.
Frederick Douglass was not the only fugitive slave or freedman to see New Bedford as a welcoming place to settle. New Bedford had a small but thriving African-American community during the ante-bellum period. It was the home of a number of members of the 54th Massachusetts Regiment, an American Civil War regiment which fought, with considerable distinction, to preserve the Union. The 54th Massachusetts was the first regiment in the country's history formed entirely by African-American troops (who served with white officers). The most famous of these soldiers was William Harvey Carney, who made sure that the American flag never touched the ground during the Union assault on Fort Wagner, South Carolina, near Charleston. There is an elementary school in New Bedford named in his honor.
Bishop "Sweet Daddy" Grace, a native of Brava, Cape Verde Islands was a New Bedford resident who founded the United House of Prayer for All People, one of the largest African-American sects in America. He is buried in New Bedford.

Compare Anthony Breznican's final picks with yours -- and the actual results
There was a time when it seemed Matthew McConaughey might fall out of the intensely competitive Best Actor race. Before Thanksgiving, too few voters had seen or wanted to see Dallas Buyers Club. Then word of mouth started to spread along with the screeners, and guild and Academy voters began pledging their allegiance to this defiant survival saga. McConaughey has dominated the awards season ever since, and despite rumblings of a late surge by The Wolf of Wall Street's Leonardo DiCaprio, McConaughey now seems unstoppable. That's especially true if you consider his other recent work: the gritty indie Mud, that chest-thumping role in Wolf, and his acclaimed turn on HBO's True Detective, which many voters call ''the anti-Norbit'' referring to the embarrassing other project that derailed Eddie Murphy's Oscar chances for Dreamgirls.
WINNER: Matthew McConaughey, Dallas Buyers Club

Jan Myers-Newbury
I have just finished a fabulous three day workshop with Jan Myers-Newbury.
I have loved her work for a very long time and I meet her while teaching in NC two years ago.
I have wanted to take a class with her for a long time and finally was able to schedule it into my busy life.
We learned all kinds of great techniques.
How to do clamp dying.
Many different ways to do shibori pole dyeing.
String wrapping.
I love learning new techniques and it is always so much easier to take a class from someone who is an expert in their field.
We just had a ball. Laura and I love to CUT UP, there is never a dull moment when we are together. Some of the other students probably wanted to shoot us, but it was FUN FUN FUN.
I want to start putting more strips in my work and now I can dye them myself!
4 Responses to Jan Myers-Newbury
The rest of the class was probably having just as much fun from you jovial natures. Your shibori pieces look fantastic!
Did Jan threaten you with sitting in the corner? The fabrics look fantastic…lucky you.
NO, but she did comment a few times
Frieda and I were very bad students. But Jan has a great sense of humor and kindly let us be bad students.

Sean Parker, Marble Buff
Last month, Napster founder and former Facebook president Sean Parker made the biggest buy of the year so far, picking up the Bacchus House on West 10th Street. The former studio of sculptor Charles Keck, it had been converted into a party palace over two decades by its previous own, Enrico Cinzano, a wine and spirits heir.
Michael Gross, chronicler of Manhattan luxury housing, has an item for New York that uncovers the building's unusual history, from its origins as a stable for Indiana banker and railroad man James F.D. Lanier to its ownership after Keck to the Sean-Parker-of-his-day, Samuel Chernoble, "an innovator, devising new printing processes and pioneering photo offset printing."
But outdoing Gross for once is The Times, where this week's Big Deal column lands an interview with Parker about his new home. Read More

Bills closing in on next phase of team's sale
by Joe Buscaglia
posted May 20 2014 12:48PM
When it comes to the future of the Buffalo Bills, nothing is certain past the obvious fact that the franchise will have a new owner at some point in the future. Since the passing of founder and owner Ralph C. Wilson, Jr., the covering cloak of the sale process has slowly been lifted, revealing the steps for the oncoming transaction.
The annual NFL Spring Meeting is taking place in Atlanta this week, with Bills Team President and CEO Russ Brandon in attendance as one of the team's representatives. Speaking with a handful of local reporters including Tim Graham of The Buffalo News, Adam Benigni of WGRZ and John Kryk of The Toronto Sun, Brandon provided some additional details of the next phase in the sale.
He said he believes that an investment bank and law firm, that would be in charge of vetting any party interested in purchasing the team, should be named by the end of the month. He later revealed, according to Graham, that the firm could even be named within the next few days.
Brandon told reporters that the interest in purchasing the Bills, in his opinion, is "high." As
Graham points out in his article
, the team's president and CEO has been the go-to guy in speaking with prospective owners. Once the investment bank is in place to audit those individuals or groups, they will take over those duties from Brandon.
According to Kryk,
Brandon wouldn't disclose the "framework"
of stipulations in Wilson's will regarding who can and cannot purchase the team, and also wouldn't committ to any specific timeline for the sale of the Bills. However,
according to Benigni
, he said the vote on a new owner during the league's meetings in October "remains a possibility."
The NFL Spring Meetings extend through Wednesday, which is the last of the three days, before all parties fly back to their respective cities.

Ode to Solution Based Modeling
Published May 10, 2007 by John
While googling around recently, curious to know of any news of an old friend and methodologist, Jeff Alger, I came across a recent blog post on his methodology, Solution Based Modeling (SBM), and the book that details it, Developing Object Oriented Software For The Macintosh. [Note: while the book is out of print, there is a two part summary of it online.] Andy Dent points out that the principles behind this ancient (1992) approach to software development are still as true today as they were then, and he's right.
In fact, I would say that the agile principles that are challenging entrenched models today are very much in line with goals that were laid out for SBM:
- results are the only thing that matter
- admit that the team learns as it goes along, and that releases should be based on the most pressing needs at the moment, not a pre-cast schedule
- focus on short iterations to get into a rhythm across all of the activities (analyze, design, build, deploy, test)
- disconnect "phase" of work (analysis, design, development) from "activity" being done
- effective communication is the enabler of it all
SBM went about delivering on these principles in a different way than something like XP or Scrum, with less emphasis on code and more on ways of thinking and working at different levels of abstraction.
But more than anything else SBM did what few others have done in any formal or acknowledged way: they stepped outside of the world of software development to see what smart people in other walks of life were learning about how we think, how creative people solve problems, and how we perceive the world, activities that are part and parcel of building software, and then applied them to the software world.
The company I was with when SBM came out got some training from Alger and then used it on a handful of projects. From a corporate perspective, SBM ended up getting lost in the eventual search for a methodology that could be applied across the enterprise. However, at the level of the individual projects, I can say that the effect was startling. The clients were more satisfied with what they got, and what they got was delivered when they expected it. No eleventh-hour surprises. And I'll say that the reasons for these come down to the attention that Alger and his partner-in-methodology, Neil Goldstein, paid to the important parts of a software project.
How we interact. Software development is a team sport, and understanding each other well will make or break any project. Any process that talks of "handoffs" is just inviting the kind of thing you get from the game of "telephone", where a phrase is whispered from one person to another down the line. In the game you can all laugh at how outrageous the result is compared to how it started, but when that kind of breakdown happens on a software project not many folks will laugh.
What SBM brought forward was a process that has the whole team involved throughout. The agile folks know this is important too, and in both approaches it is made easier by having short iterations. No one group goes away for an extended time to do its work. Short iterations demand frequent contact within the team, it is simply hard to avoid. While it may feel different to people accustomed to "the way we always do thing", when the team looks at the results after a few iterations that go well, a positive feedback loop can start that makes it easier to continue down this path. It also means that any corrections you have to make to the course of the project are small, and smaller is almost always more manageable than big.
How we solve problems.
The assumption of the waterfall model of development (and its named and unnamed variants) is that you can come up with a solution to a problem by following a set of pre-defined steps. But what do you do if you and your team don't know what the end is going to be, or how exactly to best get there?
By analogy, when you are making a dish for supper, you are going to follow the steps laid out in the recipe, and do them in the order listed. In the end, you will have what you expected, a dish. But how did the person who was coming up with the recipe in the first place go about doing it? They probably didn't get it just as they wanted the first time. They had a general idea in mind when they started ("something savory, with a light sauce and plenty of vegetables") but then they had to explore. They might try out a few different sauces to get the right flavor, create a few small portions with a few differences for comparison, and try it out on some friends or neighbors to get some reactions to it. What they are not going to do is get it all right the first time (a waterfall model), or even get it right be taking just one step back at a time (a modified waterfall model). They are going to let their creativity have rein to explore the space of possibilities, and then choose among the options to put together something finished.
Software developers, for all of the engineering background they may have, are much more often asked to create brand new things, even brand new processes, than to create something out of a cookbook. And when you are creating something brand new, you need to explore, not just at the beginning, but to varying degrees throughout. This is no longer that radical of a notion, but it still gets less attention than it needs outside of agile teams, in large part because it doesn't seem like a process that can be "managed", and without "managing" it there can be no predictability to the project. As the XP and Scrum folks show, though, it's entirely manageable. Alger and Goldstein felt so too, and the process built in to SBM assumes that the order in which you do things is irrelevant, at least as far as the ending result; its only effect might be on the time it takes to arrive there, and that can be tracked and managed, but not optimized in a universal way.
How we think about the world.
Part of the early appeal of object-oriented development was that pieces of our programs could be "objects", implying that we could deal with our intangible programs with a lot of the skills we have for dealing with tangible "objects" in the world. There turn out to be a number of problems with this, such as the fact that good software design with objects doesn't end up looking like anything related to real-world objects, rather it looks like software with good encapsulation and cohesion.
On a more subtle level, there is the fact that the "objective" view of the world isn't as useful in all cases as we might think. All of the high-profile object-oriented methodologists took this view as a given, and their approaches reflect it: there are objects in the world that we can all identify and describe objectively; our job for software development is to simply find them.
Alger and Goldstein did some digging into research that has been done in fields like cognitive science and presented some compelling alternatives to apply to the world of software:
- Don't assume or require that what a programmer wants to call a "railroad track" object in the source code has to match what the client thinks of as a "railroad track" when explaining what they want for a railroad track layout program. They may be related, but they could have significant differences when talking about the system at the conceptual level as compared to the class level. Instead, allow them both to be part of the description of the system, since they are both valid to someone on the team, and provide ways to correlate them to each other.
- Come to grips with the different ways that we might categorize the world, and let that help you understand ways that you might describe the "objects" of a system at the highest level. They drew heavily on the work of George Lakoff, especially the idea of categories laid out in the book Women, Fire and Dangerous Things. The difference between Lakoff's categories and traditional classification is something like the difference between Newtonian and Einsteinian physics; for a basic understanding of how to categorize something (for example, a "book" object), a simple model usually does a good enough job, but when you need to deal with something less concrete (for example, a "constraint" object), you need a richer explanation of what is going on in our minds.
How we communicate.
In any development project, you're going to be sketching things that represent the system or the program or parts of it, and how they interact. You are also going to need to do this at different levels of detail with different groups of people. The language that has tried to capture all of this for software development has become the Unified Modeling Language, or UML, a compromise committee-created language that nobody loves but everyone has accepted as the only real choice. It is very expressive for hard-core technical details, but weak for conceptual diagramming. The agile folks tend to chafe against this because they see any design language as a means rather than as an end, and if you can't express what you want to in the language, then you ditch that language and use what works. Where it can help to solve a problem in a design session, they may use UML, but in sessions with the larger team, you're just as likely to see informal sketches.
Now, while there could be a rich discussion of what language you use to facilitate and capture information when you are exploring the problem space, my point is not to get into that here. I think that one of the reasons that a lot of teams (agile or otherwise) don't use the UML for high-level sessions is that it is just not a good visual language. It was designed by techies for techies. Alger and Goldstein, on the other hand, took the novel approach of asking people whose job is visual communication (graphic designers) to help them come up with an effective notation. What they ended up with, the Visual Design Language (VDL), differs from the traditional notations in subtle but very important ways.
To start with, the elements of the language have a three-dimensional look to them, not in any fancy way, just with the addition of a couple of lines. Doing so adds a depth dimension to them, without making them any harder to sketch.
For techies more concerned with precision than richness, the difference doesn't seem like much, but when you want a language to communicate among everyone on the team, the payoff is big. Which makes more immediate sense?
Some of the other differences fall into the area of suggestions and conventions for using the elements, lessons in communication that are easy to pick and apply to any visual language.
- Use the cultural convention for time sequences that is embedded in your culture. For western culture, that's a left-to-right flow. The UML sequence diagram takes advantage of that too, but if your culture uses a different convention, use that to harness your reader's natural tendency for interpretation.
- Use visual cues to draw attention to the part of the diagram that you feel is most important. That can be by relative size of the elements (big implies more important), line weight, or placement on the page (a figure in the center drawing attention as a central concept).
- Keep each diagram digestable, and describe the system instead as a collection of overlapping mini-models. A poster-sized view of your system may make for interesting wallpaper, but for helping communicate about a small chunk of the system, which is what most communication ends up being about, you will do well to stay within most people's cognitive limits. That usually means following the rule of "seven plus or minus two", which generally describes how many concepts we can comfortably keep in our head at once.
Of course, these practices, really don't require the VDL at all; you can improve your UML or ER diagrams by following them. What SBM brought was guidelines for taking advantage of these practices without much effort.
While I wish that SBM and VDL had gotten a little more traction, I'm glad to see that the agile folks have been able to explore these principles further. There is still a lot we don't know about how to develop software, and I take my hat off to those who are pushing us out of entrenched (and ineffective) comfort zones.

Just a friendly piece of advice... if you're putting anti-seize on studs/lug nuts, you want to make sure that the lugs are completely torqued down. Any time you put any kind of lube on studs, it makes the lug nuts not want to tighten down as easily.

The shooting of 13 people at a US military base in Texas has prompted the defence department to overhaul measures to identify threats from inside the military.Reacting to a review into the November attack that criticises failures in overseeing the soldier charged over the deaths, Robert Gates, the US defence secretary, said that his department did not focus enough on "internal threats".
"Our counterintelligence procedures are mostly designed to combat an external threat such as a foreign intelligence service," he said in a news conference at the Pentagon on Friday.Gates said the Pentagon report raised "serious questions about the degree to which the entire department of defence is prepared for similar incidents in the future, especially multiple simultaneous incidents".
Major Nidal Malik Hasan, an army psychiatrist, faces 13 counts of murder and 32 counts of attempted premeditated murder for the rampage at Fort Hood army base on November 5.Gates said he has forwarded to the army recommendations that some personnel responsible for supervising Hasan be held accountable following the attack."I would ask all commanders and leaders at every level to make an effort to look beyond their day-to-day tasks and be attuned to personnel who may be at risk or pose a danger," he said.'Insider threat'The Pentagon's two-month investigation into the failings behind the attack said that there were discrepancies between Hasan's performance and his personnel records.
"There is clearly more and more [self-radicalisation] going on, and how much of it we have in the military is something that we ought to really understand"
Admiral Mike Mullen,chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff
Had policies been followed properly, investigators say, Hasan's clearance may have been revoked "and his continued service and pending deployment would have been subject to increased scrutiny".Separately, the FBI said it would revise its own procedures to make sure that when it investigates a member of the military, it notifies the Pentagon.
In the Hasan case, a local joint task force run by the FBI with some military personnel examined Hasan but did not alert the defence department about the investigation.After the shooting took place, it was reported that Hasan had been in contact with a Yemeni religious leader apparently sympathetic to al-Qaeda.'Self-radicalisation'Admiral Mike Mullen, the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff, said that "self-radicalisation" by individuals seeking out extremist views was of particular concern to the military.
"There is clearly more and more of that going on, and how much of it we have in the military is something that we ought to really understand," he said.However, the question of how exactly the military could identify "self-radicalisation" among US forces remains an open question.
Authors of the Pentagon-ordered review ruled out sending spies into mosques, for example.
"Do we want commanders [eavesdropping] in the mosque? No. Do we want anybody there? No," Togo West, a former army secretary carrying out the review, said.
"What we want is commanders' awareness of what's happening in their units and what's happening with their people."
