New Hampshire and Idaho have been awarded grants from the U.S. Department of Agriculture to help eliminate childhood hunger and improve nutrition and health for school-aged kids.
The grants aim to reduce paperwork and expedite certification of students for free meals in the National School Lunch and School Breakfast Programs through a process called direct certification.
With direct certification, states and local educational agencies can automatically enroll students from households already participating in federally funded programs that have verified eligibility. These include the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program and the Food Distribution Program on Indian Reservations.

The figures of Philip Johnson and Ludwig Mies van der Rohe loom large over 20th-century architecture. In a sense, artist Sarah Morris has set out to flatten them. In her film, Points on a Line, which is now playing at the Wexner Center for the Arts in Columbus, Ohio, Morris sets aside questions about either's intent or influence. Instead, she examines the systemic and outside factors that influenced their designs, including the Glass House and the Farnsworth House (left)—and the structures you'll find geographically in between them. Morris, who also produced Miami (2002) and Beijing (2008), explores the built and natural environments that lend context to these two Modernist giants. Commissioned by the National Trust for Historic Preservation, the film makes the case for the relevance of historic architecture in the evolution of communities. Through April 15. • wexarts.org

This program brings to light the music of the turbulent era surrounding the English Civil War. Some of the works are directly influenced by historical circumstances, while other are more abstract. Composers of the previous generation integrated Italian influences into the English viol consort tradition. The composers featured in this program took that language to another level of expressivity and virtuosity. Through music the composers expressed the trouble and turmoil of their "distracted times".

On Sunday morning there were two presentations about algorithms to learn mixtures of Gaussian distributions. If one has a mixture of Gaussian distributions on the plane (that is, a distribution in which, with probability we sample from a Gaussian distribution , for ), then after we take several samples from such a distribution we will see fuzzy ellipses, corresponding to the Gaussians, which will be more or less dense depending on the . One can then eyeball what are centers of the ellipses, corresponding to the averages of the Gaussians, what are the directions and lengths of the axes, corresponding to the standard deviations, and what are the densities, corresponding to the . As for several geometric problems that are very simple in one or two dimensions, the known methods to reconstruct the Gaussians from samples had complexity growing, in general, exponentially with the number of dimensions. It was possible to do better if the typical regions occupied by the Gaussians are disjoint, in which case a good clustering algorithm will correctly classify, for most points, to which Gaussian it belongs to, and then the parameter of the Gaussian are easily inferred. The papers of Moitra and Valiant and of Belkin and Sinha give algorithms that run in time polynomial in the number of dimensions even when the typical regions of the Gaussians overlap. The first paper uses a more constructive method; the second relies on quantifier elimination in the theory or real numbers, which is applied after a dimension-reduction argument, but it applies to a wider class of distributions, not just Gaussians.
In the last talk of the day, Toni Pitassi gave a very moving talk remembering Avner Magen, the Toronto University professor who recently died in a climbing accident. Toni alternated personal memories, from her and others, with technical material. She gave a very vivid picture of a person that I never met, but that I definitely wish I had.
I then attended a dinner meeting of the FOCS Mafia. I am not at liberty to reveal what backroom deals we agreed to, other than to say that we literally ate in a backroom.
At the business meeting, it was decided that there will be no more printed proceedings. I am bit saddened by it, but at least I am relieved that the topic will never again be raised in a business meeting. We will have to make do with discussing whether or not to go back to a single-session format. I violated my own rules and spoke for a little more than five minutes. This didn't matter because not only there was beer, but also wine, which we were encouraged to finish because it was already all paid for.
Traditionally, when a conference is held at a hotel, the hotel upgrades the conference chair to a suite. I had arrived being quite excited about what a "suite" might be in a Vegas hotel, having expectations of a place with leopard prints on the wall, a hot tub in the middle of the room, maybe a stripper pole, the kind of place where one might wake up with a dead stranger and a tiger (I think I am mixing up two movies here). Instead it was just a regular room but bigger, and with a sitting area. It was enough for a group of theoreticians to sit down after the business meeting, drink leftover wine, and talk about their young children. (Yay Las Vegas debauchery!)
FOCS 2010 is held at the Monte Carlo hotel in Las Vegas (yay randomized algorithms jokes!), which is next to the City Center, an unfortunately timed new development with a beautifully designed hotel, condos, and a shopping center with all the usual expensive firms (Hermes, Prada, LV, …) and some remarkable ones (Balenciaga!). The architecture is playful, modern and tasteful, the scale is rather grand, everything is very clean. I surprise myself thinking, this looks like Asia.
Talking about which, I finally found a place where coffee is more expensive than in Beijing: $3+ for an espresso at Starbucks.
Ketan Mulmuley did a great job with his tutorial. Even I, that knew nothing whatsoever about his program to proving circuit lower bounds via algebraic geometry and representation theory, got quite a bit out of it.
At night, I take a cab with another theoretician. "We are going to Double Down." "You know" says the driver "you have to be careful around there." "Careful? is it an unsafe area?" "No, no, it's just that Double Down is the only bar in that area that…" The driver gives a good look at the two us in the rearview mirror and starts again: "… All the other bars in the area are for the 'alternative lifestyle'…" He gives us another look. "Unless that's what you are looking for… Which is cool… But then don't go to Double Down, because it's the only straight bar over there." I want to explain to him that my friend is not gay, he is just Israeli, but we have arrived and we'll have to have that conversation another time.

Diaper banks fill a serious need
Babies… diapers – goes without saying. But diapers can be an outrageous hit to an already strained budget. Having a baby costs a lot of money and buying diapers is a big part of that. And what if you are one of the many who have been laid off from work and don't have the income for diapers right now? Did you know that diaper banks exist to provide free diapers to low-income families?
Diaper banks operate like food banks. They collect, store and distribute diapers to families who are having financial difficulties and can't afford them. Diaper banks get the diapers in various ways: donations by individuals and local retailers, local diaper drives and other activities, and purchases made through fundraising dollars. And while some diaper banks give diapers directly to families in need, they're usually distributed by local social service agencies such as women's shelters, food pantries, publicly-funded daycare centers, and through local church programs.
A groundbreaking study reveals 1 in 3 American mothers struggle to provide diapers for their babies. These mothers have had to cut back on basics such as food, utilities like heat or electricity, or even child care in order to provide enough diapers. The March of Dimes is partnering with HUGGIES® Every Little Bottom in an effort to address this issue of diaper need and help get diapers to babies in need. To kick off the program, HUGGIES® will donate up to 20 million diapers in the United States in the next eight months. As a start, in June, Huggies donated two million diapers given to ten local diaper banks across the country. The March of Dimes is spreading the word about this essential need.
At the moment, there are only a handful of diaper banks in the nation. HUGGIES® created Every Little Bottom to help support their local work and also to help make millions of diapers available across the U.S. Read more about the HUGGIES® diaper bank partners and where you can locate a diaper bank. You might want to consider helping to start one, too.

Don't get me wrong, I think it's great that GOONJ is doing something productive and useful and recycling creatively. I am a big fan of reduce, reuse, recycle. I love trees, I wash out my ziplock bags and reuse them, and enjoy my Bajaj scooter (and enjoy even more the 90 mpg). BUT, humans don't do things unless they have to. It's not until gas is skyrocketing in price, rippling into increases in food, water, electricity, and everything else in our lives, are people getting serious about conservation and other alternatives to fossil fuels. Chances are, it is finances with drive these types of behaviors.

Special Exhibit at Billy Graham Library to Honor Legendary Gospel Singer George Beverly (Bev) Shea
Exhibit opens today (Feb. 1), on singer's 104th birthday; features rare photos and memorabilia
By Dan Wooding
Founder of ASSIST Ministries
CHARLOTTE, NC (ANS) -- George Beverly (Bev) Shea, longtime Crusade soloist and friend of Billy Graham, is celebrating his 104th birthday today (Friday, February 1, 2013) with his wife Karlene, family and friends at his home in Montreat, North Carolina, and is also being honored at The Billy Graham Library with a special exhibit.
"George Beverly Shea, an original member of the Billy Graham Team, has played such a vital role in this ministry," said Tom Phillips, vice president of The Billy Graham Library. "We are excited to unveil many items to the public for the first time, to honor the wonderful life of Mr. Shea, yes, but more importantly to honor God to whom Mr. Shea gives all the glory."
The tribute will include pieces of memorabilia from Shea's early career in Chicago to his many years spent as an integral part of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association. Highlights of the display include: the actual piano on which he composed the music to the popular hymn "I'd Rather Have Jesus;" his Lifetime Achievement Award from the Grammy association and the suit he wore for the ceremony; a Western Electric Model 633A "Salt Shaker" microphone that Mr. Shea used at WMBI in Chicago in the early 1940s; and more.
A world-class baritone, Shea has sung in front of more than 210 million people at the Crusades, a fact that has been acknowledged in the Guinness Book of Records.
I interjected by saying, "Yes, but they came to hear you sing as well!"
In his autobiography Just As I Am, Billy Graham had this to say about George Beverly Shea: "I have sometimes said that I would feel lost getting up to preach if Bev were not there to prepare the way through an appropriate song. But I will always be grateful not only for his musical contributions to our Crusades but also for his warm spirit and his personal friendship over the years.
A world-class baritone, Shea has recorded more than 70 albums, and among other honors and achievements, was the recipient of ten Grammy nominations, a Grammy Award in 1965, and a Lifetime Achievement Award by the Grammy organization in 2011.
The Sheas make their home in Montreat, North Carolina, less than a mile away from the Graham home. On the opening day of the exhibit, Shea will celebrate his 104th birthday. Guests to the exhibit will have the opportunity to write a personal birthday greeting to Mr. Shea during the opening week of it.
The George Beverly Shea tribute exhibit runs from Feb. 1 through March 30 and is free to the public. For more information on the Library and upcoming events, or to schedule a group tour, please visit www.billygrahamlibrary.org.
Although Bev Shea is known as "America's Beloved Gospel Singer," he told me in the interview that he was actually born in Canada.
"Yes, I was born in Canada; it was in a town called Winchester, Ontario, which is 35 miles from Ottawa, the capital city," Shea admitted. "My dad was a preacher there for 20 years and then he went to Ottawa for 10 years. After that he moved down to the New York area. I followed him there during my 20s.
"His final pastorate was in Syracuse, New York and he decided he'd better go to Heaven."
Bev then spoke about his time at Houghton College in Houghton, New York.
"The college is near Buffalo and Rochester and is a fine college," he said.
He also revealed that it was his mother who first spotted his musical talent.
"I'm in the middle of eight children and my mother noticed that I couldn't stay away from the piano," he said. "When I was very young, before the others came along, I was banging on the piano and so she took time to teach me some chords, like people do on a guitar these days. I took lessons for a while, but I found out that I would rather just develop different chords in all the different keys and play by ear. I don't do it for people today, but I still play like this for my wife and for my own enjoyment morning and night."
I then asked Mr. Shea how he first met Billy Graham.
"One morning, there was a rap on my office door. I looked out and there was a tall young man with blond hair and we shook hands. He was 21 and I was 31. It was Billy Graham and he had traveled in from Wheaton College on a train just to say 'hello.' He said that he listened to my morning hymn show called 'Hymns From The Chapel.' That's how we first got acquainted.
"I came into this work with Mr. Graham in 1947 after we had exchanged letters and talked on the phone. He said he wanted me to be his gospel singer. I thanked him, but told him the only gospel singers I've ever heard about would sing a verse or two and stop and talk awhile. 'Would I have to do that?' I asked him. He chuckled and said, 'I hope not.'
"With that, I said, 'Well, I'd like to come with you. That was in November of 1947 and I've been with him ever since."
Bev said that his first appearance with Mr. Graham took place at the Old Armory in Charlotte, North Carolina and so I asked him what he sang on that first night.
"It was, 'I Will Sing The Wondrous Story,' the old congregational hymn," he replied. "And I remember that someone in the audience gave that information to Billy Graham's mother and she wrote me a note in which she said, 'Whenever you come around, please sing that again.'"
Memories of the 1949 Los Angeles crusade
"Yes, we had those tents at the corner of Washington and Hill Streets," he said. "It was supposed to be for only three weeks, but the Lord was moving mightily and different ones came to the Lord such as Stuart Hamblen, who wrote, 'It Is No Secret' and 'This Old House.' Because of what was happening, the local committee asked Mr. Graham to continue, so we were there for a whole eight weeks."
I asked him to recall how this became the turning point for Billy Graham.
"Well, of course that happened when William Randolph Hearst [the newspaper magnet] issued the directive to his staff to 'Puff Graham.' That happened, and we saw more and more people come to the meetings after that."
How Stuart Hamblen wrote "It Is No Secret…"
Bev then shared how Hamblen came to write "It Is No Secret."
"What happened was that Stuart Hamblen had accepted Christ at the Los Angeles meetings and he'd done some movies with John Wayne," he said. "One day, the story goes, John Wayne was walking along Hollywood Boulevard there and the two met up. John Wayne had read about Stuart's conversion and asked him, 'What's this I hear about you Stuart, going forward at Mr. Graham's meetings?' They apparently talked for a while and then Stuart said, 'It's no secret what God did for me. If he can do it for me, He can do for anyone.' And the movie star said, 'That sounds like a song to me.' I'm not sure if that's true or not. And so Stuart Hamblen sat down at his Hammond organ at home and wrote this wonderful song that I still sing today at Mr. Graham's meetings."
"The Harringay arena seated some 12,000 and it was filled every night," he began. "And then someone thought of the idea of carrying the meetings by landlines to other parts of the United Kingdom. During the War, they had extra phone lines that they used and somebody saw those idle lines and got them all hooked up. And so one night we had some fifty areas hooked up to Harringay. They were listening in churches, auditoriums in Wales and Scotland, and Ireland. It was marvelous!"
Winston Churchill
I wondered if Bev Shea had ever met Winston Churchill during his visits to Britain.
"I never met him, but I heard Mr. Churchill in Parliament and I also heard his speech in Ibrox Stadium, Glasgow, when he was running again for Parliament. He talked for 70 minutes. I was sitting beside Mr. Graham and he, and I, were very impressed with Mr. Churchill's oratory."
The Queen Mother
He then spoke about an experience with the Queen Mother, mother of the present Queen Elizabeth II. "I never got to meet her before she passed away in her sleep in March, 2002," Bev said. "But back in the fifties, when she was Queen she and King George VI [her husband] decided to visit Washington, DC, and Mrs. Roosevelt entertained them at the White House.
"There was some entertainment that night. They had Chief White Feather, an Indian who was an opera singer. He sang two arias and then, when the audience wanted more, he said, 'May I sing something from my heart' and then he sang, 'I'd Rather Have Jesus,' the song I had the privilege of writing the music to, but not the words; they were written by Rhea Miller. After he had sung that song, the Queen looked at him and said, 'That song bespeaks the sentiment of my heart and that of my husband.' Isn't that beautiful?"
Richard Nixon
"He came on a very hot night and we had about 90,000 people there," he recalled.
I then asked if he had ever sung for Nixon at the White House after he became president.
"Yes, I did," he replied. "It was in the East Room and Mr. Graham spoke at the very first service he held there. Nixon had decided to hold Sunday morning services and not everybody agreed with the idea, but he liked to do that. Congressmen and others came, and I sang, 'How Great Thou Art.' Then we had had breakfast upstairs. Being a Canadian I thought that was really something.
"Afterwards, Nixon sat down at an old banged up Steinway piano and went up and down the keys and he began singing, 'He will hold me fast, for my savior loves me, so he will hold me fast.' I wondered where he ever heard that. I kept inquiring and I understand when he was thirteen or fourteen years of age he went to the Paul Rader meetings in Los Angeles and that was the signature song every night for the choir."
When asked how he would describe his friend, Billy Graham, he replied, "If he'd never met the Lord, he still would have been a gracious gentleman. But he met the Lord, and He transformed his life at a young age, gave him that great gift of just interpreting the Word and bringing in the net."
Bev Shea said he meant by "bringing in the net" -- the invitation to receive Christ at the end of each service.
"When I sat there on the platform and prayed, I have to admit that once in a while I peek and see them coming forward by the hundreds," he said. "What a thrill that is. And his son, Franklin, is being blessed and is doing very well. He's quite a preacher. Some time back, I went down to Mobile, Alabama, with my wife and he had me do some numbers. We also did New Orleans with Billy and Cliff Barrows."
I concluded by asking Bev Shea about his favorite hymns.
"I'm never tired of 'How Great Thou Art,'" he said. "It seems like I've sung it so many times but the words are almost like scripture, you know. And there are others that I like when I go to my the organ I have at home here or the piano I often sing, 'I Saw One Hanging In A Tree…' and also 'And can it be…' And then 'Great Is Thy Faithfulness' is another that I love. I knew the man who wrote the music for that. His name was William Runyan and he worked at Moody Bible Institute."
What an example, that he, Mr. Graham and the other veteran, Cliff Barrows, are for those who think we should retire at 65!

Diamond Bradley, now 21 is shown here in age-progressed photos from the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children. | Photos courtesy National Center for Missing & Exploited Children

Updated: November 29, 2012 6:39AM
A cold case update . . .
It is one of Chicago's most heartbreaking cold cases: The disappearance of two young sisters, Tionda and Diamond Bradley, who vanished from their apartment complex near 35th Street and Cottage Grove Avenue 11 years ago.
"We have never given up on solving this mystery," said a top police source. "Tionda would now be 21 — her sister would be 14. An extensive police search for them throughout their neighborhood and in a nearby forest preserve and lagoon brought up nothing, and leads in their case have been minimal," he said.
Here are age-progressed photos of the sisters showing them as they would look today.
Chicken chat . . .
The Tweak 'em beat: Ald. Brendan Reilly, whose 42nd Ward encompasses the recently controversial Chick-Fil-A restaurant on Chicago Avenue, brought in 75 Chick-Fil-A sandwiches during the City Council lunch break during the City Council budget hearings on Friday to tweak Ald. Joe Moreno (1st), his fowl foe.
◆ Backshot: The fast-food chain has been the subject of national news coverage after Ald. Moreno said he would not allow the company to open a restaurant in his ward because of its CEO's anti-gay views.
◆ Buckshot: Ald. Moreno changed his mind when Chick-Fil-A issued a statement saying they respect people of all sexual orientations — then changed it back last week when the chicken chain CEO reiterated his views.
◆ Biteshot: Sneed hears the aldermen gobbled up the grub, but Ald. Moreno was not there.
"If I had been I would have said, 'Thanks. But since I am a vegetarian and I don't think homophobia is funny, I'll have to reject your gift.' "
Cop shop . . .
It's dead: In case you were wondering, things didn't end well for the dog belonging to former off-duty cop Anthony Abbate, whose brutal drunken assault on bartender Karolina Obrycka in 2007 was set off by his dog's cancer diagnosis that day.
◆ To wit: Abbate, who rescued the Labrador mix from an animal shelter, treated the dog for a year until it lost its battle and had to be put down.
Biden blat . . .
A press fool: A recent comment by veep Joe Biden caught by reporters on the campaign trail: "You know what my dad used to say? 'You only have one job: Keep the boys away from your sister.' "
Be still my tongue.
Bench press . . .
Drew Peterson's attorney Joel Brodsky is now representing Steve Fanady, a retired CBOE trader who is accused of forging a Cook County judge's name stamp on a phony divorce decree in order to get an ecclesiastical annulment from the Greek Orthodox Church.
Halloween decoration fanatic Mark Weyermuller, whose Wilmette yard is full of political figures for the holiday, just added a full-size Clint Eastwood figure replete with a chair.
Get it? Forget it.
Good deeds . . .
Goodness is ageless: Nick Curley, an 8-year-old boy from Norwood Park, is about to finish a remarkable journey this weekend.
◆ Nick has spent the past year skating at least five miles in 20 different ice rinks in and around Chicago, collecting donations to combat epilepsy in the memory of 4-year-old Danny Stanton (the Danny Did Foundation), who died during an epileptic seizure.
◆ He is set to skate his 100th mile Sunday night during intermission at a Chicago Wolves game at the Allstate Arena, where Nick will be joined by U.S. Rep. Mike Quigley and NHL Hall of Famer Denis Savard.
Vroom doom . . .
Gas-pedal lovers beware.
If the city's upcoming speed cameras are anything like those in Washington D.C., this statistic may take the lead out of your foot.
◆ To wit: One speeding camera alone handslapped 116,734 speeders in 23 months, generating $11.6 million in fines, according to the Washington Post.
◆ The tally: Speeders caught by that single camera would fill every seat in the United Center, Soldier Field and all but a few thousand seats in Wrigley Field.
◆ Media baron Rupert Murdoch, whose news empire has come under fire for phone-hacking, tweeted: "Never be surprised by C Black's language . . . Despite faults, very gutsy to fight."
Sneedlings . . .
Saturday's birthdays: Kelly Osbourne, 28; John Cleese (right), 73, and Roberto Benigni, 60 . . . Sunday's birthdays: Bill Gates, 57; Randy Jackson, 56, and Fred Latsko, ageless.

Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud
It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:
- It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.
- If at all suspicious of fraud, ask to see their website, or any other literature they can provide or send to you. Ask them for contact details for guests who have previously stayed on their property insisting on telephone numbers. Be suspicious of emails that originate from free email services (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc)
- Research the property thoroughly on the internet to see if there is any history or mention of scams associated with the property.

A study in the April issue of Anesthesiology found adult behaviors influence children's coping in the recovery room after surgery. In addition, the study from Yale-New Haven Children's Hospital, New Haven, CT, identified specific adult behaviors that increase or decrease the likelihood children will become distressed.
One hundred forty-six children between the ages of 2 and 10 years old were videotaped during their postanesthesia care unit stay after undergoing general anesthesia and elective surgery. Adult and child behaviors were coded from the video, including the onset, duration and order of behaviors. The authors then used a relatively new statistical method, sequential analysis, to determine how the behaviors of children and adults (parents and nurses) influence each other over time.
Findings from the interaction between the children and their parents, as well as the nurses caring for them, revealed:
In addition, findings showed 85 percent of mothers, 88 percent of nurses and 67 percent of fathers used verbal distraction, while 86 percent of mothers, 95 percent of nurses and 57 percent of fathers used reassurance. Criticism was exhibited by only 7 percent of mothers, 2 percent of fathers and none of the nurses.
"Our study was one of the first to examine the impact adult behaviors have on children's coping and distress after surgery," said study author Jill MacLaren Chorney, Ph.D., assistant professor, Dalhousie University and IWK Health Centre, Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada. "We hope to use the findings to educate parents and health care professionals on how to best help children handle the experience of being in the recovery room."
"Similar studies should be continued and expanded to help anesthesiologists, nurses and especially parents understand the most effective ways to interact with children to help them have the best possible experience when they undergo surgery or anesthesia," said ASA Chair of the Committee on Pediatric Anesthesia Mark A. Singleton, M.D.

One of the worst things that has been done to children over the past generation or two has been insulating them from anything that could possibly have any danger attached. Parents keeping their children under permanent watch has become "what people do." And it's a BIG mistake.
I know why the parents have done this, of course – we live in a fear-based culture, and it has rubbed off on them. But the reason they have caved in to fear is not important – what matters is that they have harmed their children.
Children – at some point in their upbringing – need to confront danger; they need to explore; they need adventures.
At one time, parents knew this. It wasn't too many years ago when parents let their kids go off into the woods by themselves, with rifles. If that was really so horribly dangerous, half of us wouldn't be here.
Is it scary to watch your children walk into a subway station? Or out into the woods? You bet it is! But you have to do it anyway. Calculate the risks, pick your times, pick your spots, watch them from a distance if you must, but let them go out and face the world.
Remember, fear is merely an impulse, and it can be based on lies, distortions, or even on nothing at all. It's a crazy thing on which to base your children's lives.
A new German study shows clearly that adventure shapes the individual. As one of the researchers concluded, "Living our lives makes us who we are." Your children need to live, and not merely exist inside of a fear-inspired bubble. The study also indicates that exploration and adventure not only affect personality development, but also brain growth.
I'm not alone in this opinion, of course. Here are two quotes from John Taylor Gatto, a home school advocate and one of the finest teachers of modern times (one of the most awarded too, ironically enough):
Sensible children do not wish to be incomplete human beings. And so, when you impose a stage theory of human development upon them, you are, in effect, tormenting them; you're limiting their opportunity… Don't be your kid's enemy, because that's not a kid, that's your fellow human being. Be a partner, and enlarge their opportunities.
The easiest way to turn your kids into geniuses, by the time they're seven, is just to front-load huge amounts of experience, including dangerous experience.

New data from the Urban Libraries Council show the outrageous prices libraries have to pay publishers for e-books.
They just published a two-page report on the subject, noting that none of the six largest publishers sell or license e-books for public libraries to access in the same way we do print books. "Three have adopted pricing policies that make e-books more expensive than print editions," the Council notes, even though the materials cost to publish an e-book is near zero.
The Council gives an example, the price to buy Justin Cronin's "The Twelve." Print edition: $15.51. E-book cost on Amazon: $9.99. Cost to library: $84.
The Council's conclusion is dead-on: "Publishers' inequitable practices hurt the communities and constituents who depend on their public libraries to provide unrestricted access to information."
Want to fix American public education?
Give every child a tablet computer!
Give every child emotional maturity instruction!
Give every child a well-paid teacher!
Well, what, then?
The New York Times Magazine devoted its pages to education on Sunday, and those suggestions stand out from others given by various "experts" in the articles.
None really resonated with me, though, like the comment piece that did not make it into the magazine but that was published on Page 5 in the Editorial section of the regular edition.
James J. Heckman begins with this sentence: "What's missing in the current debate over economic inequality is enough serious discussion about investing in effective early childhood development from birth to age 5." And then he makes his case.
Heckman is right. In another life as a journalist and community volunteer I had the good fortunte to be among a small group of people who got to see brain imaging research on young children that showed the effects of things like being read to, being held, being loved, being talked to. I became and remain convinced that early childhood education is critically important -- more important than anything else we could spend money on.
Instead, though, we are busy cutting Head Start and other programs for poor children.
A guy I knew once left me with a phrase I'll never forget: "It's a poor bird that dirties its own nest."
We are dirty birds indeed.
Reading about the new Connect area at the San Antonio Public Library just is not going to cut it. The more I read, the more I want to drive down there and see it for myself.
The facility just opened to the public, and everyone in the library business is buzzing about Connect, which is a place where you can access all kinds of technologies -- everything from very high-speed Internet to portable devices.
"Connect is an innovative, sleek 12,800 square foot space located at our Central Library downtown. Connect provides free, faster Wi-Fi that can handle more users; reduces public wait time by providing 114 desktop computers as well as 15 laptops, and 20 Google Nexus tablets for check-out; provides easier access to training opportunities; and educates about emerging technologies through our Technology Test Drive that features the OverDrive Media Stations." That quote comes from a public relations source, but it's not hype.
Sounds like the library of the future.
If you haven't checked out the services you can link to at our catalog website, you are leaving money on the table.
You may not be interested in taking classes on various software programs or in searching for a job or reading a free magazine online, but you might be interested in the goodies available via our World Book link.
With your free library card, you get access through World Book to a whole wide world's worth of daily newspapers, including The New York Times digital edition, the American-Statesman digital edition and the Houston Chronicle digital edition. In the physical world, you would pay to have that access.
And that's just one aspect of what World Book online offers.
Do yourself a favor: check it out.
I'm a sucker for Top 10 lists.
And I guess I'm not alone. The featured article in Sunday's The New York Times Magazine will be one of its best read, I'm betting, just based on the popularity of The Times' best-seller lists themselves.
The story is about popularity and those fleeting factors that go into things that go to the top of whatever list you're making.
It's interesting to note that popularity isn't what it used to be. "That's because we've turned off Top 40 and loaded up Spotify; we've clicked away from NBC and fired up Netflix; we, thanks to the increasingly concierge-style delivery system of the Internet, are each sheltered in our own cultural cocoon," Adam Sternbergh writes.
I knew the world was going to change for the better when I first loaded a tape into a videocassette machine and realized that I could pick my own music or TV show or movie without reliance on the disc jockey or producer.
But, that aside, it's fascinating to see what really is No. 1. Like: Snickers is the No. 1 candy bar. "Duck Dynasty" is the highest-rated reality cable-TV show ever. The most frequently visited national park in 2012 was Great Smoky Mountains National Park. And there's more.
The best-selling book so far this year? Dan Brown's "Inferno." It has sold 1.2 million copies.
Here at the Wimberley Village Library, "Inferno" is not No. 1, however.
That honor belongs to David Baldacci's book entitled "The Hit," which has been checked out 30 times so far this year.
By the way, "Cuckoo's Calling" by J.K. Rowling, writing with a pen name, has been checked out only 9 times. It is No. 1 on The New York Times best-seller hard-back list.
I have no idea what that says about Wimberley.

America's earliest known Civil Rights sit-in at a library—the 1939 sit-in on Alexandria's own Queen Street—will be celebrated by Alexandria Library throughout 2014, as it hosts events honoring the 75th anniversary of the peaceful protest. One of the nation's most little-known historical events involved leadership from native Alexandrian, attorney Samuel W. Tucker, and six African Americans who demonstrated an act of civil disobedience at the Barrett Branch after being denied library cards. The commemorative events at Alexandria Library locations will center around civil rights, human rights and the African American diaspora. Honoring the sit-in gives the institution the opportunity to shed light on a Civil Rights act that took place more than 15 years before the Civil Rights Movement.
"The boldness and orchestration of the sit-in was unparalleled by anything else at the time," said Anniversary co-chair, Alexandria Civil Rights legend Ferdinand Day, who played a pivotal role in Alexandria's school integration during the 1960s. "Its place in history is not just an achievement for African Americans—it paved the way for providing free access of the Library to the entire public."
The commemoration begins this month with the Alexandria Library's Martin Luther King Jr. programs. On Sunday, February 9, at 2 p.m. author Nancy Silcox will join Beatley Central Library to discuss her book, "Samuel Wilbert Tucker: Story of the Civil Right Trailblazer and the 1939 Alexandria Library Sit-In." Find out more about the Library's upcoming anniversary events.
More About Samuel Tucker and the 1939 Civil Rights Sit-In
Samuel Wilbert Tucker (1913-1990), who grew up only two blocks from the Barrett Branch, then known as Alexandria Library, graduated from Howard University and prepared for the field of law. He passed Virginia's bar exam at age 20, but Tucker, an outstanding student, was too young to be sworn in. A year later, he took the oath. Tucker tried for several years to establish equal access to community resources, but the white community, including the Alexandria Library Board, remained unswayed.
In the summer of 1939, Tucker, now 26, developed a strategy by preparing a select group of African American men for a deliberate act of civil disobedience. Ranging in age from 18 to 22 years, these Alexandrians challenged the status quo.
On Friday, August 21, 1939, Alexandria Library staff and patrons watched as a young African American entered and asked to register for a library card. When he was refused, he picked up a book, took a seat, and began to read. Minutes later, another well-groomed and polite young adult repeated these actions. This continued until William Evans, Otto L. Tucker (the attorney's brother), Edward Gaddis, Morris Murray and Clarence Strange occupied five tables. Each one sat in silence and read a book.
Flustered library staff called the police. Officers arrived and escorted the protestors from the library, arresting them for "disorderly conduct." Samuel Tucker had called a photographer, who took a photo, and then quickly arranged for their release. He planned to challenge the city in court on the grounds that all citizens were entitled to equal access to public services. But the city, in an effort to resist integration, stalled the process with intense negotiations.
Virtually ignored by most newspapers, the case continued to be widely reported in the African American press across the country. Tucker became seriously ill and was unable to pursue the case. In 1940, community leaders proceeded without the young attorney's involvement and accepted the promise of a "separate but equal" library. Tucker was infuriated. The Alexandria Library Board quickly approved the construction of the Robert H. Robinson Library, appropriated funding for books, and hired an African American librarian.
On February 13, 1940, Samuel Tucker replied to a letter from Librarian Katharine A. Scoggins inviting him to apply for a library card at Robinson Library. His strongly worded reply demonstrates Tucker's commitment to equal protection under the law: "I refuse and will always refuse to accept a card to be used at the library to be constructed and operated at Alfred and Wythe Streets in lieu of [a] card to be used at the existing library on Queen Street for which I have made application."

Product DescriptionThe Ruger Lightweight Compact Revolver, a 13.5 ounce, small frame revolver with a smooth, easy-to-control trigger and highly manageable recoil is packed with the latest technological advances and features required by today's most demanding shooters. The LCR is built on a monolithic frame, which supports cylinder and barrel and is made from aerospace grade, 7000 series aluminum in the standard LCR and 500 series stainless steel in the LCR-357 model. Ruger's patent pending polymer fire control housing holds all the fire control components in their proper dimensional relationships, reducing weight significantly, and helps reduce recoil. The exclusive friction reducing cam is a next generation design in fire control systems with an optimized cam that rests in a smooth, non-stacking trigger pull. The high-strength stainless steel cylinder is extensively fluted to reduce weight and is treated to an advanced form of Ruger's Target Grey for excellent durability. With the LCR's unique grip peg, a variety of grip styles can be installed, leaving ample room for recoil cushioning.
This package features a Crimson Trace Lasergrip for precision tactical targeting.

Comments about Ruger LCR Handgun Package:
I love that it is lightweight if carrying in a purse, I do not have to worry about jamming, hammer get hung up (since it's hammerless), or finding the safety if I were to be in a panic if attacked. The laser is a nice feature at night and a confidence builder for protection, especially if this gun is used for that purpose. Out of any of our handguns, this is what I prefer to carry for protection. Quick, easy to use, and safe! On the negative side, the lightweight frame hurts your hand more than a heavier gun does, so for target fun it would not be my favorite choice. The positive part, in my opinion, is for conceal carry and protection, this is my 1st choice, I'm very confident and comfortable.

By the way, Mark Steyn has performed that usually "liberal" trick of using verifiable "facts" to support a partisan, agenda-driven view that fails -- quite deliberately -- to reveal the whole truth.
I often say -- and firmly believe -- that FACTS are NOT synonymous with TRUTH.
This kind of thing is a good case in point.
I frankly love the way Steyn, an amiable fellow possessed of great wit, and a few lesser lights turn the tables on liberals by using their tried and true obfuscatory techniques against liberal interests.
The difference between Steyn and liberal-progressive activist types is that Steyn manages always to do it with a smile, while his tongue remains planted firmly in his cheek -- always his right cheek, of course. A neat trick that. ;-)

If I knew the answer to that, they'd send soldiers to drag me from my house, put me through a very public "show trial" with a pre-determined outcome, then make me drag a heavy cross to the highest hill in town, nail me to it, and torture me till mercifully I finally died.
In short: HE gave us the ANSWER, but WE don't want to hear it.
That's why things are the way they are.
Sounds simple doesn't it?

[At the end of each month, Aaron surveys the comics he read, celebrates the best, considers the rest, and takes stock of what it means to be a contemporary comic fan. Follow "The State of My Pull List" here.]
[Note: this month's Pull List is split in half—one part featuring the regular column, the other devoted entirely to the full 52-title DC relaunch. Find part two here.]
Mainstream comic books—not graphic novels, but monthly pamphlet comics—usually don't end in a satisfactory way. There are obviously exceptions (the conclusion of Scott Snyder's recent Detective Comics run is a good example) but by and large endings, whether of a story arc or an entire title, are rushed, or overly dramatic, or too easily resolved. The publishers own the characters, and are consequently disinclined towards endings that might preclude further adventures; even if Peter Parker decides to put away the web-shooters and retire from superherodom, someone else will come along to take this place.
The on-going titles published under DC's Vertigo imprint are other notable exceptions. Executive Editor Karen Berger runs the imprint with an indie publisher's ethic, albeit with the resources of a massive entertainment corporation behind it: take risks, give creators room to tell the stories they want to tell, and respect the readership. When Vertigo books end they do so in a gradual way that respects the integrity of the fictional universes they contain—dangling storylines are attended to, characters are bid farewell, and readers are given the closure they've been seeking, whether they knew it or not, since the first issue.
House of Mystery #41 is not technically the last issue of the series—that distinction belongs to October's issue 42, ajam-issue featuring regular creative team Matthew Sturgess and Lua Rossi plus guests Bill Willingham, Tony Akins, Steven T. Seagle, and Teddy Kristiansen. But issue 41 does bring the story Sturgess has built over the past three years to a close. And true to form for a series that was always very funny except when it was busy breaking your heart, the finale is only happy on the surface.
Having uncovered the nature of the Conception, Fig Keele reenters the titular House (and by proxy the story that she is writing), to give all the major characters the ultimate end of their stories, in the guise of scripts that she's written. Reading these scenes I'm reminded of Grant Morrison's "fiction suit," a narrative device that operates like a diving rig, allowing the writer to visit the fictional world of his creation. Fig is Sturgess in fiction suit drag, adopting the guise of his character (as he seems to have done for the past five or so issues) to meet the others face to face, and possibly exorcise a little authorial guilt.
Guilt and blame have been recurring themes throughout House of Mystery so it's no surprise to find that none of the endings (with the exception of the Goblin King's) is entirely happy or sad—none of the characters (again, except for the Goblin King) are entirely good or bad. It's somewhat galling to find that Lotus Blossom marries Fig's true love Harry, but it's worth remembering that mean-spirited and aggressive isn't the same as evil; and I was sad to read that Anne ends up alone, until I remembered her single-mindedness in seeking to pluck the deceased Poet from a point earlier in his timeline, despite all warnings that it wouldn't end well. Even the ending Fig writes for herself, ostensibly the happiest of the bunch, is just slightly pathetic and indulgent.
Series artist Luca Rossi contributes some of his finest art of the entire run in this issue. His gift for expressions and mood suits Sturgess's ending structure, underlining the pathos in every scene. Take Anne's distant gazing at the sea in the final panel of page seven, or Fig's pained shying away from Harry in the fourth panel of page seventeen—each moving, but in subtly different ways. There are only a few artists I'll follow from book to book, regardless of writer or character, but Luca Rossi has quickly joined those ranks.
I almost don't want to read issue 42. No matter how Sturgess approaches that final issue, I can't imagine it'll be as elegant and apropos as this one. I will read it, obviously, and I bet it'll be a fun issue considering the talent involved. But this charming, wrenching, quiet, most of all humane ending is the only ending I need.
Solid Reads
If it wasn't abundantly clearly in the first two issues, The Red Wing #3 confirms that writer Jonathan Hickman isn't interested in the familiar, or comfortable. Reading this issue was disorienting, but satisfyingly so—the plot whips from a big action set-piece involving an invasion from the future to Dom's father, still stuck in the past and recently abducted by an angry, aggressive version of Dom from a parallel timeline. It's a lot to take in, and that's without getting into Evil Dom's explanation of how time travelers can also cross into alternate realities, and how he's using that ability to create a "better" world. But if the mechanics are sometimes confusing, Hickman's themes—the anger of youth and the guilt of their parents—lie just under the surface of all that pseudo-science. And as always, artist Nick Pitarra delivers exactingly rendered pages, including every possible detail of the big Red Wing space fight, or the bits of ship and pilot that dissociate into component parts when they crash into time. His art, and Rachelle Rosenberg's colors, root the story in something we can comprehend, which makes Hickman's philosophizing easier to swallow.
The first punch of the fight that's been brewing through three issues of X-Men: Schism is finally thrown in issue four. It's a pay-off for readers who have been waiting for the cracks to show, but I am more interested in the moment just before the fight, when the real tension between Cyclops and Wolverine is brought to the surface. In a sentence, the tone of the conflict changes—this fight isn't about leadership and decisions, it's about jealousy and loss, and so the likely outcome (which we'll see in issue five) is yet more regrettable. But even with that tension this issue would be an average superhero punch-out if not for veteran X-artist Alan Davis, whose layouts and choreography convey the anger and effort behind each punch and throw. Davis's regular inker Mark Farmer also deserves praise for his bold line work, as does colorist Jason Keith. This book just gets prettier and prettier as the story winds down.
Speaking of Wolverine, September brought an unexpected treat in the form of David Lapham and David Aja's one-shot story, Wolverine: Debt of Death. For a Lapham story, it's relatively tame (no dark humor, only one devastating personal failure) but no less compelling: Wolverine travels to Japan to investigate the murder of an old friend who'd requested his help in protecting witnesses, and ends up in the middle of a black market manhunt involving the friend's family, giant robots, and S.H.I.E.L.D. It reads like Raymond Chandler, but with a mutant healing factor and WMDs—misleading conversations with authority figures, a not-so-innocent victim, even a downbeat ending that punishes everyone, hero and villain alike. Artist David Aja's simple but detailed cartooning suits this kind of story—expressive, kinetic when it needs to be, and all very moody. Betty Breitweiser's colors also contribute to the mood, juxtaposing the red and yellow heat of an explosion caused by giant robots with the deep blue and gray of a ninja's assassination attempt. I'd happily read an on-going title by this time—with any luck Wolverine: Debt of Death is just a high-profile tryout piece, with more to come down the line.
Lapham also wrapped up the first volume of his and Kyle Baker's DeadpoolMAX with issue twelve. Against all odds, this creative team has spun probably the most inventive and satisfying Deadpool story in a decade. In this issue, Deadpool's zeal lets him see through the mechanics of the CIA's plot to frame him and Bob, though they're still too late to prevent a false-flag chemical attack in Cincinnati that kills thousands. Lapham has turned the character's self-awareness and pop-culture-reference-spewing (traits that were interesting when Joe Casey introduced them in the late 90s, but were run into the ground by subsequent writers) into a pathology that has an impact on the story beyond comic relief. Deadpool's insanity, when juxtaposed with the unreasonable, indefensible actions of his allegedly saner supporting cast, becomes Lapham's means of revealing truth. The set-up for DeadpoolMAX 2 promises more of the same, and hopefully a good jumping-on point for hesitant new readers.
American Vampire: Survival of the Fittest #4 delivers all the action the previous three issues had kept in check, including the use of vampire-destroying sunlight lasers.
Two issues of Daredevil shipped this month, issue three penciled by Paolo Rivera and issue four penciled by Marcos Martin—both are exquisite to look at, particularly Martin's two page, 30-panel gird following Daredevil as he sneaks into the lion cage of a zoo to retrieve a piece of evidence.
Butcher Baker, the Righteous Maker #6 is even more surreal than previous issues, and as much as I'm enjoying it, I'm beginning to wonder where this title is headed, and if it might soon be time to drop it and wait for the subsequent trade paperbacks.
Mark Waid must be reading this column because issue 22 of Incorruptible features plenty of Charlie Hustle, my favorite new character of 2011—and tossing a bone to the rest of the readership, it teases the long-awaited fight between Max Damage and The Plutonian. Meanwhile in Irredeemable, Waid reintroduces a lost character and puts yet another twist in the history of Scylla and Charybdis.
I enjoyed Secret Avengers #17 just slightly less than last month's issue, but only because Kev Walker draws Steve Rogers like a retired boxer, and it distracted me from the rest of the issue.
Writers Scott Snyder and Scott Tuft continue to ramp up the tension in Severed #2, leaving much of the horror unseen except for a single full-page panel, impeccably rendered by artist Attila Futaki, depicting the gruesome aftermath of last month's cliffhanger ending.
Looking Ahead to October
The real final issue of House of Mystery, more from the DC relaunch books I liked enough to keep reading, and Josh Fialkov's The Last of the Greats.

Skin is the body's largest organ. About six pounds of skin cover eighteen square feet on an average adult.The top layer of skin is called the epidermis. It protects the underlying skin layers from the outside environment and contains cells that make keratin, a substance that waterproofs and strengthens the skin. The epidermis also has cells that contain melanin, the dark pigment that gives skin its color. Other cells in the epidermis allow us to feel the sensation of touch and provide the body with immunity against foreign invaders like germs and bacteria. The very bottom layer of the skin is the hypodermis. It contains the fat cells, or adipose tissue, that insulate the body and help it conserve heat. The layer between the epidermis and the hypodermis is the dermis. It contains the cells that give skin strength, support, and flexibility. As a person ages, the cells in the dermis lose their strength and flexibility, causing the skin to lose its youthful appearance.Located in the dermis are sensory receptors. They allow the body to receive stimulation from the outside environment and experience pressure, pain, and temperature. Small blood vessels provide the skin with nutrients, and remove its waste products.Sebaceous glands produce the oil in the skin, which keeps it from drying out. The oil from the sebaceous glands also helps to soften hair and kill bacteria that get in the skin's pores. These oil glands are all over the body, except on the palms of the hands and the soles of the feet.

Metahuman Press does not accept novel submissions. We publish only a select few novels every year, usually by hand-picked writers from our roster of talents. We do however publish many anthologies with multiple themes all of which can be found on our Open Anthologies page. Below you will find information on how to submit to us.
Metahuman Press rarely wants to see full stories right away. We would instead prefer to see proposals summarizing a story for a specific anthology theme. Should that proposal be approved, we will then include the completed tale in an upcoming volume of said anthology after the editing process is complete.
- Please keep all proposals to no more than 1-2 pages of text. Please include the author's name and preferred e-mail address if the proposal is presented as a document.
- If you have never written for us in the past, please include a short work of a similar scope as the proposed story. We would prefer a sample of published work, but an unpublished work is also acceptable here, as we wish only to establish proposal writers can also write fiction.
- Include a short bio of yourself, including previously published works.
- Simultaneous submissions are acceptable as long as we are made aware they are simultaneous at the time of arrival.
- Submissions should be sent in either .docx or .rtf format.
- We do not accept paper submissions. E-mail all submissions to submissions {at} metahumanpress {dot} com.
A few suggestions to guarantee as professional a manuscript as possible comes in to our hands:
- Read it before sending. Make sure that everything reads the way it should read. Maybe let a friend (or two or three) read it too and give it an honest critique. It's the best way to discover plots holes and grammatical inconsistencies.
- Please don't barrage us with e-mails if we don't respond for a few weeks. It might take us several days to get to your proposals. We will send an e-mail in return whether your story is accepted or not.
- Make sure to keep story back-ups!
- The manuscript should have the following formatting: 12 pt. Times New Roman or Arial only. Single-spaced, no drop caps or heavy formatting. It's 2013: use italics for italics, bold for bold and very little underlining.
At this time, Metahuman Press does not offer any advance for novels submitted. However, we do offer a generous percentage of sales to our published writers that will continue in perpetuity.
Metahuman Press will consider single author short story collections that are connected by a common theme and meet the target word length. We do not accept single stories outside of our announced anthologies. See the Open Anthologies page for details on what anthologies are available.
Metahuman Press takes first worldwide ebook and print sales rights for any fiction acquired. While we maintain the right to keep your work in print, your work remains your own and can be reprinted and licensed as you see fit. Payments are based on a royalty rate, generally 60% of profits earned after cost divided between the authors.

Biosimilars in Emerging Economies - Advanced Recombinant Technology Platforms and Low Cost Manufacturing Put India and China at a Strategic Advantage in Biosimilar Production
GBI Research, the leading business intelligence provider, has released its latest report, "Biosimilars in Emerging Economies - Advanced Recombinant Technology Platforms and Low Cost Manufacturing Put India and China at a Strategic Advantage in Biosimilar Production" that provides key data, information and analysis of the major trends and issues that affect the emerging biosimilars market. The report provides a comprehensive insight into the biosimilars market, with regional market forecasts for biosimilars in India and China, and analysis of the drivers and restraints that affect the market. The report looks at key market companies in the emerging biosimilars industry through profiles and analysis of their strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats. The report also provides information on the global biosimilars pipeline. Also discussed in detail are success factors for the emerging biosimilar industry and the regulatory environment in emerging markets with respect to biosimilars. At the end, the report provides an analysis on major deals that have taken place in the industry from 2007 to 2011.
This report is built using data and information sourced from proprietary databases, primary and secondary research, and in house analysis by GBI Research's team of industry experts.
The emerging biosimilars market has grown significantly in the recent past and has the ability to grow in the future due to the expiry of patents for major biological drugs, pressure on governments in emerging economies to reduce healthcare costs, and the savings that can be obtained with biosimilars over branded biologics. The emerging biosimilars market was valued at $0.3 billion in 2002 and increased to a value of $3.3 billion in 2010, at a CAGR of 34%. The market is expected to increase to a value of $8 billion in 2018 at a CAGR of 12%. Strategic consolidations, such as M&As, licensing agreements and co-developments, are actively pursued by major pharmaceutical companies, many of which are from India. The launch of a number of biosimilars that are presently in the late stage of development in the R&D pipeline, and government initiatives to develop the biosimilars market in emerging economies, will also drive growth.
Major pharmaceutical companies such as Dr. Reddy's, Biocon and Intas Biopharmaceuticals (IBPL) from India, along with 3SBio from China, have created a strong position for themselves in the emerging biosimilars market, with a number of biosimilar products launched and generating revenue. Companies such as Cipla, Ranbaxy and Lupin have shown interest in the opportunities offered by the emerging biosimilars market and have taken initiatives to enter the market through strategic consolidations and biosimilars R&D. However, the regulatory guidelines for biosimilars require strengthening in most emerging economies in order to meet international standards and increase coverage to include all types of biosimilars.

Many Conference table manufacturers downplay the table base while hiding it under a wood top. At Stoneline, the base structure is an important design element that is further emphasized and exposed through a diffused Glass top.
Wiring options include pass-through holes for speaker phones, etc. and a powered grommet with full connectivity.
