Out of 26 million Texans, you may have an idea to change the world. You may have had several ideas to change the world. But only a tiny minority of you pushed through the U.S. Patent office from application to successful patent. We've seen Texans change the world many times over. Jack Kilby did it with Texas Instruments in 1958 with the integrated circuit, causing the start of the digital revolution, which, in part, is why you can read these words over your electronic device.
Over the last few years, Texas Business has brought its feature: Texas Business Patent of the Day. This list is of the ones that were either extremely clever, odd or strange. One thing becomes apparent from these patents and the patent that runs daily in Texas Business—Texans have a unique mind set.
Though the history of the Corn Dog is disputed, the State Fair of Texas claims to have introduced the Corny Dog sometime between 1938 and 1942. As a paean to that invention that now sits in the freezer section of every grocery store in the southwest, here are the fried foods the State Fair of Texas has introduced, or tried to introduce, in the last seven years.
Dead Texas musicians live on every time you hear their songs. Their songs play everywhere, so the dead Texas musicians appear to be immortal. Here's the short list.
Don't get caught up with John Wayne religion. For one thing, he's not Texan. He's in some fine movies involving Texas, most notably The Searchers, but none of his movies can make the best cut of Texas movies. Here's the short list.
Tourist Traps. Some are absurdly large. All are monuments to the bizarre notions of the human spirit.
The short simple list.
Nothing to agonize over. Simply the best.
Texas Business reports: Several UTSA scientists received a patent for treating and preventing a sexually transmitted disease.
UTSA researchers Bernard Arulanandam, Jane and Roland Blumberg Professor in Biology and associate dean of research for scientific innovation, and Ashlesh Murthy, research assistant professor in the College of Sciences Department of Biology and South Texas Center for Emerging Infectious Diseases, and researcher Guangming Zhong, professor of microbiology and immunology at the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio (UTHSC), received a U.S. patent based on discoveries the trio made while researching Chlamydia trachomatis, the bacterium that causes chlamydia infections.
The patent protects intellectual property related to chlamydia prevention and treatment.
"Doctors Zhong, Murthy and I have been working for many years to better understand the mechanisms of chlamydia infection and to find ways to prevent or treat the disease," Arulanandam said in a prepared statement. "When the research was licensed to Merck in 2008 to develop a vaccine, this intellectual property was included."
Chlamydia is among the world's most common sexually transmitted diseases. In the United States alone, it strikes nearly 3 million people annually and is particularly common in those aged 25 years or younger.
Chlamydia does not always cause symptoms. As a result, many people are unaware they have the disease and do not receive prompt medical treatment. Especially dangerous for women, chlamydia can lead to pelvic inflammatory disease, infertility or potentially fatal ectopic pregnancies.
The researchers have focused their work on the antigen known as chlamydia protease-like activity factor, or CPAF, initially discovered in the Zhong lab. The CPAF protein is made and secreted by the C. trachomatis bacterium.
In 2008, the University of Texas Board of Regents licensed significant portions of Arulanandam, Zhong and Murthy's CPAF-related work to Merck. The licensing agreement was facilitated by South Texas Technology Management, a regional technology transfer office that supports commercialization activities at the UTHSC, UTSA, University of Texas-Pan American and University of Texas at Brownsville.
Zhong has conducted research for more than 25 years in chlamydia pathogenesis and vaccine development, while Arulanandam has researched vaccine development and mucosal immunity for nearly 15 years. Murthy joined the team in 2001 as the first student in UTSA's doctoral degree program in cellular and molecular biology. He graduated from the program in 2006 and continues to research chlamydia in Arulanandam's UTSA laboratory.
"We are very pleased with this patent," Murthy said. "Ultimately, that is why we are conducting this research. We want to improve public health. We want to turn the tables on this disease."
The University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio, ranks in the top 3 percent of all institutions worldwide receiving federal funding. Research and other sponsored program activity totaled $228 million in fiscal year 2010. The university's schools of medicine, nursing, dentistry, health professions and graduate biomedical sciences have produced approximately 26,000 graduates. The $744 million operating budget supports eight campuses in San Antonio, Laredo, Harlingen and Edinburg.
The Texas News Scrawl is a handy reference to stories Texas Business recommends from other news sources. Some of the stories that Texas Business currently suggests include: Texas regulators not aware of potential CFTC manipulation probe, Irving spends incentive dollars to lure two corporate headquarters and almost 2,000 jobs; Hotels, restaurant operators prep for record Final Four; Star-Telegram presses roll one last time; Robert Rodriguez breathes new life into an old vampire favorite; ClubCorp buys Prestonwood Country Club in Dallas and Plano; Office Depot overcharged Dallas by up to $3.6 million, city auditor finds; Texas power market monitor resigns amid unresolved reform debate; and more.

What is the name of the cute actor who played Krinkles the clown? A little help? The ad company must know. I am sure he was an actor, what other work did he do. The part where he takes a bite and has a spasm is cute.

DEMO Africa: MyOrder tackles SME order delivery Ruth Kang'ong'oi
Retail therapy is set to change in this region; what with the technological innovations being displayed by the likes of MyOrder. This service provides retailers with an online shop which buyers can access and purchase items online. It is a real time mobile ordering platform that puts a "mobile menu" in the hands of a customer. Items that you have for sale can be selected, and orders placed.
By providing shoppers with at-your-door services, retailers can be brought closer to their customers and therefore bypassing the geographical limitations placed by a physical shop. This will in turn increase sales and allow the sellers to manage funds received from clients.
So how does it work? The platform is available via a mobile website with which the customer can select a retailer, choose an item to buy, select added features, and pay via mobile menu or other internet payment platforms. Then the system will automatically send an SMS to the retailer who will then confirm or decline the order via SMS to the client again. Service delivery will tremendously improve with such services and it will definitely increase the joy in the shopping experience for many a shopper.
This service is targeted for small retailers who can either access the service through their mobile phone, or via the internet, with a platform that allows the seller to track sales. Further the service has partnered with a mobile money platform service (Kopo Kopo) who also provide a platform to track and bank payments.
They have also partnered with delivery companies to ensure that the retailer does not have to worry about how the items are delivered and using the economies of scale are able to provide better and faster services to their customers.

Sharia (the "path) is Islamic law. According to most sources, including the Council on Foreign Relations, shariah is made up of rules that regulate every nook and cranny of life - worship, marriage and inheritance, criminal offenses, commerce and personal conduct. "It is derived primarily from the Quran and the Sunna—the sayings, practices, and teachings of the Prophet Mohammed."
The bombings and shootings in the name of Islam, such as the Boston Marathon,
Andrew McCarthy, former federal prosecutor and co-author of Shariah: The Threat To America: An Exercise In Competitive Analysis, wrote, "American elites still deal with sharia as just a religious system, when in fact it is as totalitarian a political program as ever were those of communism, fascism, national socialism, or Japanese imperialism."
The Muslim holy book, the Quran, says that non-Muslims are "the most vile of created beings" (Q 98:6)
Omar Ahmad, co-founder/Board Chairman of Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR), in 1998 said publicly, "Islam isn't in
Islam's sharia law is insinuating itself into our courtrooms, schools, prisons and every other aspect of society. The lever often used is one of discrimination against the precepts of shariah, while Christian and Jewish customs and laws remain.
Islamic principles, defined by sharia law, are in absolute direct opposition to everything Americans believe regarding the law and civil society.
How is sharia showing up in
In a 2011 report, Center for Security Policy found 50 "significant" published appellate court cases where sharia law entered the court's decision making. "Some judges are making decisions deferring to Shariah law even when those decisions conflict with Constitutional protections."
- While later overturned, a
judge exonerated a Muslim man of raping his wife because sharia allowed him to do so. (The ruling was later overturned.) New Jersey
- The Muslim Students' Association - Muslim Accommodations Task Force has convinced at least 17 universities to have foot baths built or under construction, including
Boston University, George Washington Universityand Temple University, and at least nine universities have prayer rooms for "Muslim students only," including Stanford, Emory and the , according to USA Today. Universityof Virginia ' Skokie School Districts replaced Veteran's Day with Eid ul Adha, a major Muslim holiday, in 2013. Illinois
- In
, a Muslim death row inmate, Abdul Awkal, has filed a federal lawsuit arguing the prison system's failure to provide halal meals is a restraint on his religious freedoms. His on-going case already succeeded in having pork removed from the prison system's menu. Ohio
This matters because the punishments and discrimination, especially against women, defy American principles of human rights, religious freedom, and equality of all before the law. Women must remain mostly covered, and under some interpretations completely covered. Female genital mutilation is practiced in some Muslim nations to protect chastity. Men can have four wives while women only one husband. Women receive half the inheritance of a brother and so on.
Islamic Sharia law cannot co-exist with the American system of government.
Andrew McCarthy wrote, "Shariah is not compatible with the U.S. Constitution. In fact, the forces of shariah have been at war with non-Muslims for 1400 years and with the
The unique American system of government as expressed philosophically in the Declaration of Independence and codified in the U.S. Constitution is based "on the laws of nature and of nature's God." This is the God who handed down a set of laws to the Israelites (Jews) and later through Jesus Christ (Christians) brought about a higher law that resides in the human heart.
Inherent in God's law – the law of Jews, Christians and the American system – is freedom, individual responsibility, peace, charity, goodwill toward all people.
The Bill of Rights is but a restatement of the rights Americans knew they had as human beings given by God. They knew that all forms of government tended toward infringing upon those rights and wanted to ensure people remained free.
The National Center for Constitutional Studies posts writings by John Quincy Adams, sixth president as well as Thomas Jefferson, as ambassador to France, and John Adams, as ambassador to
Jefferson and Adams wrote:
"We took the liberty to make some inquiries concerning the grounds of their pretentions to make war upon nations who had done them no injury, and observed that we considered all mankind as our friends who had done us no wrong, nor had given us any provocation.
"The Ambassador answered us that it was founded on the laws of their prophet, that it was written in their Qur'an, that all nations who should not have acknowledged their authority were sinners, that it was their right and duty to make war upon them wherever they could be found, and to make slaves of all they could take as prisoners, and that every Muslim who should be slain in battle was sure to go to Paradise."
John Quincy contrasted what he learned from Muslims with Christianity and
"[Christianity] has mitigated the horrors of war - it has softened the features of slavery - it has humanized the intercourse of social life. The unqualified acknowledgement of a duty does not, indeed, suffice to insure its performance. Hatred is yet a passion, but too powerful upon the hearts of Christians. Yet they cannot indulge it, except by the sacrifice of their principles, and the conscious violation of their duties. No state paper from a Christian hand, could, without trampling the precepts of its Lord and Master, have commenced by an open proclamation of hatred to any portion of the human race.
"The Ottoman (Muslim) lays it down as the foundation of his discourse."
Mukasey stressed that we should show respect to those Muslim voices that reject the imposition of shariah law, but remain vigilant against those who do not.
When asked, "How can disparate communities come together for a greater good, in spite of our differences?
Mukasey responded, "Together, study the Constitution, Declaration of Independence and Federalist Papers."
Knowledge of facts is the beginning of understanding, power and tolerance. Americans do not inherently dislike Muslims. They dislike repression, violence and inequality.

Use a hula hoop to simplify ball-catching games with young kids
Kirsten's ball-playing hack would work well indoors, too. (I'm thinking rainy day basement play.)
You know when you're playing catch, soccer, baseball or such games with preschoolers or toddlers? They always move really close to you in between turns, and you have to keep moving them back so there is room to throw/kick, etc. I started putting a hula hoop on the ground where they should be, and they stay in the hoop (or if they don't, it's 'Quick, back to the circle!') and you get more time for actual playing. I think it's less confusing for the kids, too.
We use hula hoops to play big indoor hopscotch, too.

Timberland Comes to Westfield Stratford City
Categories: Hikers to Handsewns: Products & Design, Making Our Difference: TBL CSR, Who We Are, What We Do: TBL Culture & People
We are pleased to announce the opening of a new retail store within Westfield Stratford City in East London – gateway to the Olympic Stadium!
Timberland Stratford City
London is the host city for the 2012 Olympic and Para-Olympic Games; the new Westfield Stratford City is one of Europe's largest urban shopping centres, and is situated adjacent to the Olympic Park. Westfield Stratford City is home to 300 fashion, food and lifestyle brands and 50 restaurants, and has fantastic transport links with Stratford Regional Station, which sees 58 trains going to and from central London every hour.
Stratford City also boasts some impressive environmental and sustainability statistics:
- 75% of all Stratford City's electrical power will be met through an on-site Combined Cooling, Heat and Power Plant (CCHP)
- Use of natural light, effective insulation, high efficiency lighting, heating and cooling and control of solar gain will ensure the buildings are 10% more energy efficient than required by building regulations
- Efficient building design and on-site CCHP will help achieve carbon reduction targets of 50% by 2020
- A consolidated waste management system will recycle / recover 50% of retail waste
- Suitable roofs have been designated as ecological brown roofs to encourage wildlife and reduce rain water run-off
- A 253,000 sq ft rainwater harvesting system is incorporated into the main retail centre
The store introduces a new global retail concept that re-imagines the retail experience for Timberland. It is a "box within a box" concept that brings the brand to life in an engaging and emotional way – essentially bringing the outdoors indoors! The retail experience was designed to emotionally connect with consumers, not only inspiring them with the great outdoors but also equipping them with the gear to get out and enjoy it. The 2500+ sq ft store has a two-story glass fascia and incorporates portions of our iconic tree logo as part of the store front design.
Our new retail concept aims to bring the outdoors in!
We think the Stratford City store succeeds in engaging consumers with our brand and our product in an authentic, approachable way … but we'd love to hear from you! London-area readers, stop by our new store and then tell us what you think.

Editor says, what if the US could not afford to lose David Petraeus? Please note that the opinions expressed in this post do not necessarily reflect the views of the author(s).
In 2012, on this day American writer and researcher Paula Broadwell (pictured) was tragically killed in a mysterious automobile accident in Charlotte, North Carolina. Embedded JournalistBroadwell graduated from the United States Military Academy at West Point in 1995. She earned a master's degree from the University of Denver's Josef Korbel School of International Studies in 2006. She earned a Master of Public Administration from the John F. Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University. She later entered the Ph.D. program at Department of War Studies at King's College London.She was most famous for co-authoring the biography All In: The Education of General David Petraeus. The book was developed during her six months service as an embedded journalist following the General around the Battlefields on the Korean peninsula. Some of the hardest and most penetrating work was conducted under cover with the old soldier.They met in 2006 when he was a speaker at the Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University. Broadwell was a graduate student at the time. According to the Charlotte Observer, she told him about her research interests after he spoke. He handed her his card and offered his help. She began a doctoral dissertation that included a case study of his leadership, with Petraeus fully cooperating. The General is currently overseeing the drawdown of US forces, which is expected to complete by the end of the first half of 2013.

Well not to sound too corny but The Keeper is definitely a keeper. I completely surprised myself by reading this book. I thought that I would give it a go but probably not like it seeing as I didn't really read YA novels. But boy was I wrong. I spent a whole day reading the book as I could not put it down and wanted to know what fate had in store for the characters. Well fate as I put it adds up to supernatural powers interfering with the lives and minds of the protagonist and those close to her.
Billie is a seemingly normal, popular teenage girl dealing with all the angst that teenage angst and hormones bring. She unknowingly receives a mystical 'gift' during a field trip and she begins to embark on a dangerous, thrilling, exciting journey to fulfil her destiny. So not only does Billie have to worry over appearance, straight hair, good grades, boyfriends and best friends but has to also worry about prophetic nightmares, supernatural visions and evil beings tracking her. So yeah, she leads a very confusing life. Her sixteenth birthday completely changes her life; a strange old necklace is gifted to her and an old 'acquaintance' appears in her life and a strong, familiar bond is created.
'The Keeper' is full of twists and turns, surprises at every corner both heartbreaking and heart warming and the relationships between the characters are so real, so emotional that you are completely invested in their outcomes, in their lives.
This book will surely be a firm favourite with those who love similar YA novels. But I believe that I enjoyed it so much as the characters are so easy to empathise with (despite all the supernatural, mystical stuff). Billie (despite her destiny) is a normal, popular school girl who worries about her hair and make-up, fights with her brother for the bathroom, gets detention and falls in love. I'm sure every girl can empathise with that. No truly, this book has a little bit of everything; fun, romance, fantasy, supernatural elements and most of all it has a good story! So the moral of the story is don't always judge a book by its cover (or blurb), take a chance and you might end up liking something that is completely different to what you usually enjoy.
An enjoyable, fun, thrilling book!

Republicans have been working to convert the once-neutral "entitlement" label into a negative to make it easier for Congress to cut social programs.
While an entitlement used to be a positive — indicating a citizen's right to the benefits of a program they paid into — the term is now used to portray social spending that's out of control.
The shift was underscored during last year's presidential election, when Mitt Romney castigated the 47 percent of Americans who "believe that they are entitled to health care, to food, to housing, to you name it."
Now Republicans in Congress are working overtime to attach a similar negative feeling to Social Security and Medicare.
As Bloomberg notes, Americans were once conditioned to regard both programs as special. "The checks will come to you as a right," explained a 1936 government pamphlet that introduced Social Security.
President Lyndon Johnson had similar sentiments when he signed the legislation to establish Medicare, noting that the elderly "are entitled" to medical care.
As a result, the word "entitlement" remained non-controversial for decades, simply reflecting a person's eligibility for the popular government programs.
But that's changing, and Republicans now hope they can attach a negative feeling to these programs to build support for ultimately cutting them.
Of course, both parties seek to use language to push their agendas.
GOP strategist Frank Luntz wrote a must-read book called Words That Work: It's Not What You Say, It's What People Hear, which outlines his strategy for using words to change what people believe.
On the Democratic side, George Lakoff wrote The Little Blue Book: The Essential Guide to Thinking and Talking Democratic to show his party how words make a difference.
Some Democrats have argued they should call Social Security and Medicare "earned benefits" programs instead of "entitlements." But it never caught on. And now Republicans have framed the debate.

Today on Deadspin Chris Kluwe, former punter for the Minnesota Vikings, alleged he was cut due to his outspoken views supporting marriage equality.
I'm not a huge sports fan, but I am a huge Kluwe fan, I follow him on twitter @chriswarcraft, and I listen to him when he gives interviews. He is well spoken, self aware, and intelligent. The Nerdist Podcast did a great interview with him where you really get a great insight into him, outside of football, and how he views his life after football.
Living here in Minnesota, Kluwe's letter to a Maryland state delgate is a wonderful read for those of us who cannot fathom a logic argument, outside of bigotry, as to why marriage equality isn't universal.
So take a few moments to read Kluwe's two letters. This man is a vocal ally who put his career on the line for the causes of his fellow humans.

Animal cruelty charge filed, againBy Brent Curtis
STAFF WRITER | July 01,2013A Hubbardton woman will appear in court today to face a charge of animal cruelty for a second time.
A week after her daughter, Elizabeth M. Harke, 25, pleaded innocent to an identical charge, Suzanne M. Hegarty, 53, was scheduled to appear in Rutland criminal court this morning to answer to a misdemeanor offense of cruelty to animals by depriving them of adequate food, water, shelter, rest, sanitation or necessary medical attention.
Hegarty faced the same charge in 2009 when she accepted a plea deal from prosecutors and pleaded guilty in exchange for an eight-year deferred sentence and probation as well as a mandate that 100 animals be removed from the farm she owned in Brandon.
She was allowed to keep 17 of her pets and livestock but she was forbidden from breeding animals, was ordered to spay and neuter her pets, and make monthly veterinarian visits.
Hegarty transferred ownership of the farm at 671 Kimball Road to her daughter in 2009 but continued to make all decisions about activities on the farm where police in a court affidavit describe finding numerous malnourished or dead animals this spring.
In an interview with Rutland County Sheriffs Deputy Milicia Lynds in April, Harke told police that while her name was on the farm her mom Suzanne had complete control over what happened there.
For instance, there was a point where Harke felt overwhelmed with the number of horses on the farm and wanted to sell some of them. Suzanne became very upset and demanded that they not be sold, Lynds wrote.
The daughter went on to tell police that she could no longer enable her mother and the 25-year-old told police she was frustrated that she wasnt allowed to work or go to college because then her mother wouldnt have anyone to keep up the farm.
But police said the keeping up of the farm was in shambles, and Lynds described numerous discoveries of malnourished or sick animals as well as dead animals scattered around the farm.
As I walked around with (a farmhand) you could see bones littered all over the property. There were full skeletons that were on the surface next to several calf huts, the deputy wrote.
In an interview with a former farmhand, Wade Bridger, 47, Lynds said she learned that Hegarty had allegedly tried to hide the number of animals she owned from police.
According to the affidavit, Bridger told police that Suzanne Hegarty had hired him to build a secret room at their residence in Hubbardton. The purpose of the room was to hide the animals Suzanne was not allowed to have in case they were raided by the police.
If convicted of the misdemeanor charges, Hegarty and Harke face up to one year in jail.
Hegarty, who will also answer today to a charge of violating her probation, could face up to another two years in jail for her prior conviction.

Paddle Round The Pier, Brighton Beach, Brighton, July 3rd and 4th
Paddle Round The Pier (PRTP) is officially Europe's biggest free beach festival. From a small charity event run by surfers back in the 90's, PRTP has grown in leaps and bounds over the years and continues to feature the best in beach culture, urban and street sports, live music and family fun. And the best thing is that it's all for charity!
Kiteworld Magazine is proud to be a part of PRTP and after recently attending a press launch party on Brighton Beach, K-Dubya front men Jim Gaunt and Ash Phelps got the low down on what is making this years event so special.
After a few freebie drinks and sandwiches and a couple of photo opportunities for the local paper, Paddle Director Dave 'Sandlals' Samuel talked us through what we can expect from this years event with great enthusiasm. First and foremost will of course be the paddle round the pier itself ? the perfect way to raise money for charity and get a great sense of achievement from a day at the beach. This year is set to have the biggest number of entrants to date using whatever they can to paddle with, whether it be a surfboard, kayak, canoe, bodyboard, kitesurf-board, or even a lilo! Plus continuing on from previous years will be the 'Paddle Something Unusual' option, where you have to do just that. Previous accolades go to the Thunderbirds' Tracy Island, a tennis court and a bed.
They'll be tons of other events on the water to check out and take part in, including the Pier2Pier Malibu and SUP Race (from the eastern side of the Brighton Pier to the west side of the West Pier), the Funky Puffin Euro-Enduro SUP Race (from Brighton to Worthing and back with a 1st prize of £1000), wakeboarding, outrigger canoes, Neilson sailing regatta, Stand-Up Paddleboarding and much more.
The land events don't look too shabby either. These include the Animal Relentless Bike Tour, the Ocean Sports Board Riders Turn or Burn Slalom Skate Contest, the Brighton Cougars Streetball Contest, paddleskating, urban athletics, street surfing, martial arts and again, much more.
Providing the backing tracks to your weekend of fun will be a host of acts starting at 10am each day. Already confirmed are Transformer, Jo Harman Project, Wide Eyed Order and Dani Wilde. We'll be listing more confirmed bands soon.
One thing that hit home from Dave 'Sandles' was the importance of keeping the festival free. It was something that he stood for strongly and even though the option to charge makes sense in terms of making money to keep the festival going he was adamant that the soul and purity of PRTP is kept just as it was when it started back in 1996.
With an original concept to bring together all the local surfers for a social gathering and to raise funds for charity, over ten years later and the only thing that has changed is that it is not just the local surfers who Dave hopes to bring together. Kitesurfers, windsurfers, the RNLI and others can now all come together and share their stories.
Surfaid, the Lifeboatsand Whoopsadaisy are the charities for this years event and just £1 can make a difference. To learn more about them and how you can help click here.
So with a final sandwich to see us off it was music to our ears that this years PRTP looks set to be the biggest and best yet. Kiteworld Magazine will be there with our own stall and will be talking everything kitesurfing if you fancy dropping by and saying how do.
We'll be keeping you updated with the latest happenings on the beach nearer the time.

Thursday, December 18, 2014
Follow us:
As those in recovery can attest, the first step is admitting you have a problem. Mayor de Blasio did that big time with the city's Build It Back program yesterday, saying that the program which is designed to help Hurricane Sandy victims is woefully inadequate.
Mayor Bloomberg had initially resisted creating a pot of money to help homeowners who rebuilt on their own – and that resistance has been evident in the glacial pace of the program.About 20,000 New Yorkers have enrolled in Build It Back – and most all them are still waiting for an inspection visit from the city – let alone a check to help reimburse them for repairs.
As our Bobby Cuza pointed out in his report for NY1, members of the de Blasio team never directly pointed their fingers at Mayor Bloomberg yesterday in a press conference about Build It Back but it's clear they're unhappy with the state of the program that they inherited.
Calling it an "intolerable situation", Deputy Mayor Anthony Shorris noted: "When we came in here, not a single home was in design. Not a single home had been chosen as optioned. Nobody was certainly in construction. Not a single reimbursement check had gone out."
It's ironic that the often-tardy occupant of City Hall is now tightening up the timetables on city workers but hopefully it will work. De Blasio yesterday noted that 1,000 homeowners have already received checks – and he hopes that another 500 will be awarded by the end of the summer. That's still far too long for people who shelled out tens of thousands of dollars almost a year-and-a-half ago but at least it's a start.
The mayor should also double down on the city's own rebuilding efforts. Not a single piece of boardwalk has been replaced in the Rockaways – with the project not scheduled to be completed until more than three years from now. Meanwhile, the adjacent city of Long Beach has already replaced its entire two-mile boardwalk which was destroyed in the storm.
People in faraway places like Staten Island and the Rockaways are often cynical about government; City Hall is more than an hour away and most New Yorkers have never been to their neighborhoods, even after the hurricane. The city's sluggish response has only played into the fear and loathing of residents'; so it would be ironic if a Park Slope hipster – as the mayor would be called in the Rockaways – could start to make things better, one step at a time.

Finger Dexterity – Take 2
Jude turned one last month, and we're ready to start Take 2! Stella and I spent a few minutes last Saturday introducing Jude to some of her favorite baby apps. We started with Color Dots by Ellie's Games, which is an easy game to show cause and effect while practicing finger dexterity.
This post is not geared toward an app review; it's a no-brainer for a baby's first iPad app. I was more interested in whether or not Jude would approach the iPad differently than Stella did at his age. He didn't paw as much with his hand, but he did use both hands more frequently. Jude may have taken a little more time to process each time the dots multiplied, but he picked it up pretty quickly. The dots were actually set to a bigger size this time, but ultimately the experiences were similar.
I did, however, notice a difference in their environments. Jude had more distracting elements mixed into his space (including a big sister). When I reviewed apps with Stella, I made a point to clear away toys–and food!–to help her focus on the new task. Our session ended with Jude playing with the case/stand, which he promptly abandoned when he spotted some unattended Cheerios (see video).
Take #2!
It's been almost 3 years since I first introduced Stella to the iPad. She will be 4 years old this month! We continue to have successes with many other early learning apps since I've last posted to this blog. Her current favorites include LetterSchool, and PBS Kids.
I'll soon have the wonderful opportunity to take my son down the same path. Hold on to your little brothers because he's going digital, baby!
Yesterday morning I discovered something that I felt brought closure to this experience and deserved a final post. Ready for this?
Stella knows her ABCs.
No, not just the song. She KNOWS her ABCs. This revelation came as a huge surprise to me. At breakfast she pointed to my Corn POPS cereal box and told me what the letters were without being asked. I was under the impression that this skill emerged much later (not under the age of 2). Here's an excerpt from Judith Hudson (developmental psychologist):
"Most children begin recognizing some letters between the ages of 2 and 3 and can identify most letters between 4 and 5. This means that you can start teaching your child the alphabet when he's around 2 — but don't expect full mastery for some time."
So I pulled out the iPad and started quizzing her. I went through every letter like this (below)—in order and randomly. The only letters she has missed were "N, V (thinks it's Y), and Z." No doubt a lot of this progress is from the Word Wagon app that we started playing a few weeks ago. This is not a "Look how smart my child is!" post, but rather a fitting end to an undeniable truth: The iPad is an effective learning tool for babies and toddlers. Digital pacifier it is not.
The app in the video is Alphabet Zoo (free).
A Year with the iPad 2
It has been ONE YEAR since I started this blog! I set out to document my daughter's interactions with the iPad 2 from ages 12-24 months. Along the way, I casually reported on her emerging skills related to memory, problem-solving, fine-motor, and language. I have no scientific conclusion to report; we just had a lot of fun! It melts my heart to see the look of accomplishment on her sweet face when she masters a new task—sometimes it comes after pint-sized fits of frustration, but the hard is what makes it great. Am I right, Jimmy Dugan?
We discovered several well-made iPad apps that aided her skill development, and we also discovered a lot of duds. Aside from about $10 worth of regrettable purchases, I deem this journey a great success! We'll continue to use the iPad 2 to discover new things beyond infancy and toddlerhood. Goodbye, Digital Baby.
Here's to a great year with the iPad 2:
Now I Know My ABCs!
Well…sort of. Stella can recite the ABC song (through rote memorization), which just so happens to have the same melody as her beloved Twinkle Twinkle Little Star. This is really fun to wake up to on the baby monitor. :)
Update: She actually *knows* her ABCs. See Epilogue.
No More Monkeys!
For me, this is the most fun song to sign. It took some practice, but I have it down. Stella is able to do the following signs:
- Bed: Hands together under your head like a pillow
- Hurt [head]: Index fingers point at each other next to the forehead; twist slightly
- Monkey: Paw at your shoulders twice
Digital Toddler
Stella is almost two years old! I'm starting to reflect on the last year and marveling at how much of a little girl she has become since we started "Digital Baby!" Here are a few recent snippets that especially remind me of how simple iPad apps that we started playing months ago still resonate in her daily activities today:
- Counting: Oscar's 1-10 Balloons
- Singing/Signing: SignShine
- Parts of the Face: PlayBabyFace
- Shapes: My First Words
Word Wagon
Duck Duck Moose did it again! Their apps continue to make our list of favorites. Today we played Word Wagon for the first time. This app is going to be so helpful for learning letters and recognizing words. It includes 4 levels to grow with your child: Letters, Phonics, Spelling I, and Spelling II. (In the video we did phonics.) Each word you spell gets added to your wagon and posted on your sticker board. After 3 words matched in a row, you get to play a star matching game to create the outline of a mystery animal. Super fun!
It will be really interesting to see how Word Wagon will help Stella with her ABCs in the next few weeks. Here is where she is currently at with her numbers and letters, as demonstrated with the Oscar's Balloons apps. She can count to 10, but she almost always skips the number 8. She can recognize about 5-10 letters from the alphabet:
Update: She *knows* her ABCs. See Epilogue.
Yo Bossy Bossy
When Stella gets TV time, she likes there to be few interruptions. So when she saw Jesse peek around the corner at her from the kitchen, she demanded that he go away and "play" without her so that she could veg out in peace with her favorite 2-D characters: Muno, Foofa, Brobee, Toodee, and Plex. When did she become the boss?
This post has nothing to do with an iPad app. It is more of an admission that she hasn't actually played with the iPad lately…and when she does, she turns on Yo Gabba Gabba through the video app. Hopefully her bossiness and YGG addiction are both just one of many phases.
P.S. This post is for James. A robot is a mechanical friend…made by people to help other peeeeeople!

Power Tackle Paragon Crankbait Casting Rods - $249.00 to $259.99
Featuring cutting-edge technology and components, the Paragon Crankbait Casting Rods are precision engineered to excel at a variety of specific crankbait presentations. Field-tested on Lake Amistad, the extra action and loading of the rods' moderate-fast tapers aids you from hookset to fighting the fish, and won't stop until your fish is in the boat. More of the rod bends toward the middle, instead of just the tip (as with faster tipped rods), allowing the bass to fully engulf the bait for solid hooksets, and enabling you to maintain equalized fighting pressure to resist the fish leveraging and throwing the bait.
Premium Fuji Alconite Guides at Concept Spacing deliver excellent durability and strength, and help maintain proper rod curvature under heavy loads. The Fuji ACS Reel Seats also feature a blank-thru design, which helps you detect the difference between cover and fish, and combined with the Paragon Series tapered EVA foam grips that conform perfectly to the natural shape of your hand, the rod provides excellent ergonomic comfort. Delivering top-notch performance, the Paragon Cranking Rods are designed for today's new style of extreme power fishing.
Backed by Power Tackle's Limited Lifetime Warranty
Comments: The 7'3 glass rod is a great trap rod only set back the handle is huge and feels weird after using smaller slpit grip casting rods
From: Brant: Lake Fork
Comments: A VERY versatile rod for cranking. I use mine for DD22's. I own the 7'3" composite model and have gotten to handle the 7'3" glass model. I prefer the composite model for the added sensitivity and slightly faster tip than the glass rod. The 7'3" Fiberglass rod DOES NOT have the ACS reel seat. The composite model does. Before this rod I had a 7'11" MH Fast Shimano Cumara Reaction. The Power Tackle rod is less tiring for me to throw big cranks on. Great overall rod, and awesome company.

Seriously, our friends (whom we're now delighted to call sponsors) over at LELO have outdone themselves. The famous Swedish design company of luxury intimate items has just won the Oscars of the design world, the coveted Red Dot Design Award of 2012 for their original SenseMotion™ Insignia couple's massager, the Tiani– it's worn by the woman during playtime for both partners' pleasure. (Previous winners of the Red Dot include the Apple iPhone 4, BMW 5er Touring, and the Bose SoundDock — it's a BFD!)
Now, LELOÂ taken their entire "sense motion" line of vibes — the Tiani, the Lyla internal/external massager, and the Oden couple's ring — and made them even better:
- 50% more power
- Better memory for non-stop sensation (an intelligent memory chip ensures no interruption in vibrations from interference)
- Easier to use (you don't need the remote to start playing, but can activate it anytime mid-sesh)
And, as before, each item in this new Insignia line is whisper quiet, 100% waterproof, rechargeable, made of FDA-approved silicone that's soft and flexible, and comes with 6 sensation modes and a one-year warranty. It doesn't get any better than this.*
Here's how the Tiani 2 works:
*And they're not paying us to say that.

Boosting renewable energy to 25% of electricity supply in Western U.S. would cut pollution, save consumers billions
The Western U.S. could reap huge benefits in pollution savings and reduced spending on fossil fuels by installing more wind and solar power plants, according to a comprehensive new analysis released today by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL). The study found that obtaining 25 percent of electricity in the Western U.S. from renewable energy will reduce carbon dioxide pollution by up to 34 percent and save $7 billion annually in fossil fuel costs.
The NREL report also conclusively puts to rest the fossil fuel industry myth that wind energy's pollution savings are smaller than expected because fossil-fired power plants run at lower efficiency when wind is generating electricity. Even at the very high level of renewable energy use examined in the report, the impact on the efficiency of fossil-fired power plants was found to be "negligible," reducing the carbon emissions reduction benefits of wind and solar by only 0.2 percent, so that on net wind and solar produced 99.8 percent of the expected emissions savings.
A chief reason for the study's findings is that electric utility system operators can reliably and efficiently integrate wind and solar energy using the same tools they have used for more than a century to accommodate large swings in electricity demand as well as abrupt failures at conventional power plants. Dozens of studies have demonstrated that wind and solar energy only slightly add to total power system variability, and that most changes in wind and solar output are canceled out by much larger opposite changes in supply and demand. System operators in the Midwest and Texas have each been able to integrate more than 10,000 megawatts of wind energy with only very small increases in their need for operating reserves.
As shown above, the study found that one megawatt-hour of wind energy, the amount produced by a typical wind turbine approximately every 90 minutes, saves 1190 pounds of carbon dioxide pollution on average, equivalent to the amount produced by a cross-country drive in a fuel-efficient car. As indicated below, the negative impact on the efficiency of fossil-fired power plants reduced those carbon dioxide savings by only 2.4 pounds, the amount produced by a typical drive to the grocery store.
Some representatives for competing energy sources have spent years propagating the myth that wind energy's emissions savings are less than expected, despite having no peer-reviewed analysis to support their claims and being contradicted by all independent grid operator data and analysis. It is simple economics and science that wind energy directly displaces the output of the most expensive power plant, which is almost always the least efficient fossil-fired power plant.
Some advocates for competing energy sources have even called for an analysis based on real-world data from emission monitors at power plants. With today's study they got it, though they may not like the results. It is now impossible for anti-clean energy advocates to continue sticking their heads in the sand denying the reality of wind's environmental benefits.
Today's study used real-world hourly emissions data from nearly every power plant in the Western U.S. and was reviewed by 55 experts including representatives from eight utilities. The analysis of wind's impact on fossil-fired power plants was largely conducted by engineers at Intertek who specialize in optimizing the operation of power plants for utility clients.
Today's study also produced an interesting result with regard to the cost of cycling conventional power plants. For two of the three natural gas price scenarios analyzed, wind and solar energy (shown below as HiMix) actually reduced the total costs associated with cycling conventional power plants, and in the other scenario those costs only amounted to 0.5 percent to about 2 percent of the $7 billion in annual fuel cost savings produced by wind and solar energy. In addition, previous work by NREL and others has demonstrated that the addition of any new low-marginal-cost energy source, whether a new nuclear, coal, or wind plant, would lead to the same result of additional cycling at existing power plants.
NREL's report is available here.
NREL will present the study's results on Wednesday, September 25, at noon ET:

John William Sterling (May 12, 1844 – July 5, 1918) was a corporate attorney and major benefactor to Yale University.\n
John William Sterling was born in Stratford, Connecticut. He graduated from Yale University with a B.A. in 1864 and was a member of Skull and Bones. He was admitted to the bar three years later. He obtained an M.A. degree in 1874 and an LL.D. from Columbia Law School in 1893. He became a corporate lawyer in New York, and helped found the law firm of Shearman & Sterling in 1871, a firm that represented Jay Gould, Henry Ford, the Rockefeller family, and Standard Oil.\n
On his death in 1918, Sterling left a residuary estate of $15 million to Yale, at the time the "largest sum of money ever donated to an institution of higher learning in history"—equivalent to about $200 million in 2011 dollars. After the estate appraisal was complete a year later, the Yale bequest was "about $18 million." He required Yale to fund "at least one enduring, useful and architecturally beautiful building, which will constitute a fitting Memorial of my gratitude to and affection for my alma mater" and "the foundation of Scholarships, Fellowships or Lectureships, the endowment of new professorships and the establishment of special funds for prizes"—these mandates led to the construction of the Sterling Memorial Library, Sterling Law Building, the Hall of Graduate Studies, and the Sterling Hall of Medicine, and the endowment of the Sterling Professorships.\n
Personal life\n
Sterling died July 5, 1918 while staying at the fishing lodge of Lord Mount Stephen in Causapscal, Quebec he is entombed at Woodlawn Cemetery.\n
Sterling's sister Cordelia donated the Sterling House and its surrounding estate —part of the Sterling Homestead—to Stratford, Connecticut.\n\n
