The other day I heard some news that made my heart do a happy dance: the Animal Welfare Institute (AWI) recently donated picture books about pets to children in over 600 domestic violence shelters across the U.S.

One of the great things about attending a great writer's conference is that you get to bask in the glow, and imbibe the wisdom of, great writers.
Maybe it's because the authors lived here, but dozens of classic books for kids are set in the center of New York. Crickets in their pages hang out, not in cornfields, but in Midtown. Mice don't run down country lanes: They sail boats in Central Park.

When we expose our kids to a variety of positive and inspirational content early and on a regular basis, we can make a profound difference in their lives and help encourage a growth mindset.
With the American Library Association announcing its choice for this year's Caldecott Medal (the very deserving Brian Floca for Locomotive), it's time to turn the page on 2013 and take a look ahead to some of the great titles heading our way in 2014.
The books listed here will probably not appear in any seasonal displays at your local mega-mart, but they have not entirely disappeared either -- after two, after 10, after 17 years -- still shadows dancing across the darkest pagan night.

How wonderful would it be to know from an early age that our intuition is a gift to help us navigate through life? My picture book Glory in the Morning holds that truth.
Viewed in their original forms -- gouache or ink, watercolor or pencil, collage or oil -- the illustrations are testaments to craftsmanship, a rival to any art form.

It's what we sort of know that's really scary: the gaping, haunting silence before somebody shouts boo, but also the silence that comes when we are about to shout boo at someone else.

Garlic Pineapple Chicken Recipe
"I found this recipe on the Internet," says Jayme Webb of Anderson, South Carolina. "It makes a wonderful quick, light meal and tastes great." This is a deliciously different kind of stir-fry without the usual Asian flavors.
TOTAL TIME: Prep/Total Time: 25 min. YIELD:5 servings
- 1-1/2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-1/2-inch cubes
- 2 cups uncooked instant rice
- 1 can (20 ounces) unsweetened pineapple chunks, undrained
- 1/2 cup fat-free French salad dressing
- 1/3 cup chopped green pepper
- 2 tablespoons salt-free garlic herb seasoning blend
- 1. In a large skillet coated with cooking spray, cook and stir chicken over medium heat until no longer pink. Meanwhile, cook rice according to package directions.
- 2. Stir the pineapple, salad dressing, green pepper and seasoning blend into chicken. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cook, uncovered, for 3-5 minutes or until heated through. Serve with rice. Yield: 5 servings.

Flight MH370 Search: Robots from Australia, US Help Find Debris as Time Runs Out on Plane's Black Box
- Order Reprints
- Text Size
By Reissa Su | March 26, 2014 1:27 PM EST
The search for the missing Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 continues after a 17-day wait for the Malaysian Prime Minister to confirm that the Boeing 777 with 239 people on board crashed into the southern Indian Ocean.

A family member of a passenger onboard Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 cries on a bus before heading to the Malaysian embassy, outside Lido Hotel in Beijing, March 25, 2014. Bad weather and rough seas on Tuesday forced the suspension of the search for any wreckage of a missing Malaysian jetliner that officials are now sure crashed in the remote Indian Ocean with the loss of all 239 people on board.

Searchers including aircraft from the US, Australia and New Zealand, are racing to locate the doomed Malaysia Airlines plane's black boxes before the "pings" they emit fade away. According to reports, the black boxes can send signals for at least 30 days after a plane crash.
However, experts said the black boxes can continue to emit pings for another 15 days depending on black box battery. Black boxes are commonly attached to the aircraft's fuselage and without them, it would be difficult for investigators to determine the cause of the crash.
Satellites and planes have spotted possible debris in the water but nothing has been recovered or identified as part of the missing Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370.
Central Queensland University accident investigation specialist Geoff Dell said if black boxes are recovered, it would probably be the "most difficult" search for a missing plane. Mr Dell said it is urgent to find even a small piece of the missing plan to help oceanographers plot its location under the seas.
Crews searching for signs of wreckage of Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 will be joined by a fleet of 3,600 robots that can scour the world's oceans. Marine recovery teams are racing against the clock to find the black boxes before they run out of battery.
Robots from Australia, US in search area
Experts said floating debris could quickly drift long distances in a 1.6 million square kilometre part of the ocean with turbulent waves and high winds. The international robot fleet Argo may give international searchers some idea. Argo program director Howard Freeland who is based in North Saanich, B.C., said each robot collects data on ocean currents, salinity and temperature over an area of about 300 square kilometres.
Mr Freeland, a retired scientist of the Department of Fisheries and Oceans, further explained that the robots will then send the data via satellite into computer models like the BLUElink. It is a global ocean forecasting system run by three government agencies in Australia.
Most of the robots in the search area for the missing Malaysia Airlines plane are from the US and Australia.

Rough Trade NYC on Record Store Day 2014 (more by Amanda Hatfield)
As they usually are, Rough Trade Shops are one of the first this year to post their favorite albums of 2014 list. It's 100 albums long and mostly filled with the bigger indie and indie-related releases of the year, but there's a few surprises in there too. Mark Kozelek will not be happy to see that The War On Drugs placed #2, 8 higher than the Sun Kil Moon record. Mark should be proud that he made the list not once, but TWICE though. His Christmas album landed at #84. Run the Jewels, who are not on it all, have started a "Suck My Dick Rough Trade" chant. Check out their full list below and see more on each album here.
Meanwhile, Rough Trade the NYC venue is open this weekend with Sallie Ford / Crooked Fingers tonight, followed by two shows from The Dream Syndicate.

Savages at Berlin Festival 2013 (more by Dana (distortion) Yavin)
Bo Ningen and Savages have collaborated multiple times before, and they'll now be releasing a collaborative album, Words For The Blind, which is one 37-minute song, on November 17 via Stolen Recordings / Pop Noire Records. Here's what Gemma Thompson of Savages says about it:
Zurich in 1916 and Hugo Ball is instrumental in creating the Cabaret Voltaire - a club which will become central to the performances of the Dada movement, during which the artists would experiment with forms of sound poetry and simultaneous poetry. A movement created through the horror of World War One, it attempts to understand how society has reached such an illogical decision. Through simultaneous poetry begins the attempt to delve into chaos and maelstrom, to find the voice of the individual struggling to be heard.Watch two trailers for the album below...
London in 2012 and Savages are recording the debut album 'Silence Yourself', in a secluded studio in the North West of the city. In the middle of an intense three weeks, we set out one evening to see the band Bo Ningen play at Cafe Oto. A few days later producer Johnny Hostile begins to muse over the possibility of two bands playing in the same space at the same time. Concurrently I am reading about the performances at the Cabaret Voltaire. We decide to approach Bo Ningen with the idea of collaborating on a 'Sonic Simultaneous Poem'.
As the idea begins to take shape in early 2013, we prepare for both bands to rehearse together in a studio with a loose composition based around five chapters. As the musicians of both bands consider how to apply themselves with their instruments to each chapter - revolving, colliding and intertwining with words sang in Japanese, French and English by Taigen and Jehn - we also envisage the physical space in which to perform.
We imagine a stage in a large u-shape to contain as much of the audience as possible in the centre. The two drummers next to each other at the 'bottom' of the u, then leading around symmetrically (facing each other): guitarists, bassists and singers at the tips of the u-shape. Bo Ningen have a guitar extra, so we hang one from the ceiling to hit as you would a gong. Eventually we fix a date and a space for what we believe is a one-off performance that we name WORDS TO THE BLIND.

Swans/Michael Gira curating 3-day program in Netherlands; Savages & Bo Ningen collaborating +++ 24 NON-STOP HOURS OF DRONE
Swans @ Lincoln Hall (more by Brigid Gallagher)
From the Very Interesting Press Release Department:
Le Guess Who? Festival (The Netherlands) is extremely proud to announce two special projects for 2014: a 3-day program curated by Swans/Michael Gira, and the world premiere of 24-Hour Dronefest. Le Guess Who? 2014 takes place November 20-23 in Utrecht, NL. Previously announced acts include Dr. John & The Nite Trippers, Bonnie "Prince" Billy, Selda feat. Boom Pam, St. Vincent and Einstürzende Neubauten.24 non stop hours of drone. We can't wait!!
Michael Gira, the main force behind the mighty Swans, will curate a three-day program for the project Mouth To Mouth. This is the second installment of Mouth To Mouth, and the first spanning multiple days and venues. The curated line-up includes Swans, legendary UK post-punk band Wire, New York psychedelic/electronic pioneers Silver Apples, Dominick Fernow's Prurient, Carla Bozulich (Evangelista), Xiu Xiu, Baby Dee, Jenny Hval and noise tyrant Ben Frost.
The Mouth To Mouth-project will also feature a special performance of the London based post-punk group Savages, together with Japanese avant-rock band Bo Ningen, entitled 'Words To The Blind'. Inspired by the surrealist, early DADA concept of simultaneous poetry, the group experiments with improvisation and noise. Le Guess Who? will be the first time this performance of all new material will be seen and heard outside of London.
This year, Le Guess Who? will host the world premiere of 24-Hour Drone Fest, initiated together with New York's Basilica Hudson. Beginning at midnight on Saturday, November 22, this project will cover the entire spectrum of drone during 24 non-stop hours of live performances and installations. First acts confirmed for this project are avant-gardistic producer/composer William Basinski (amongst others known for his four-part The Disintegration Loops), guitarist/producer/composer Stephen O'Malley (Sunn O)))), Tim Hecker, London-based duo Raime, and Steve Hauschildt (formerly of Emeralds). More acts for 24-Hour Dronefest will be added soon.
As the release says, the 24 hours of drone thing is a collaboration with New York's own Basilica Hudson where Swans and Tim Hecker are also playing as part of Basilica SoundScape in September. As previously mentioned, that NY fest will also play the Scott Walker / Sunn O))) album that comes out ten days later, every hour from 2-9 PM on Saturday of the fest at Future Past Studio, which is located near Basilica.
Catch Bo Ningen back in the USA when they tour with Kasabian this fall.
The Europe festival won't be the first time Bo Ningen and Savages have collaborated.
Unlike Savages, Swans appear on the recently released "Best Albums of the Decade So Far" list from Pitchfork.
The full line-up for Mouth To Mouth, curated by Swans/Michael Gira, is listed with more Netherlands fest info below.

The Village Voice's annual Pazz & Jop critics poll was published this week, surveying a whole mess of music writers and tallying up the vote. As with anything where it's a collective list, the winners won't be surprising to anyone who's perused 2013 Best Of lists. Kanye West, Vampire Weekend and Daft Punk top the LPs list; Daft Punk, Haim and Kanye have the top three singles. The late deadline for voting did, however, allow for the inclusion of Beyoncé's self-titled LP, which came in at #4.
You can check out the Top 20 LPs and Tracks in this post and peruse the whole lists at the Village Voice. You can also check out individual ballots and read essays on Kanye, Miley, R Kelly, the emo revival, and others, not to mention loads of pithy blurbs and pie charts.

British newspaper The Guardian just finished publishing its Best Albums of 2013 list, after having rolled it out over the past couple weeks. It's got a lot of the albums most likely to show up on British lists, like These New Puritans, John Grant, Hookworms, and Arctic Monkeys, but its #1 is more in common with the US publications. Find out what it is, along with their other 39 picks, below...

Pitchfork is back with its much-anticipated Top 50 Albums of 2013 list. The list has many of the albums you'd expect to see on Pitchfork's list, though there's still some surprises. If you thought M.I.A got snubbed, you'll be happy to see her here, and if you thought James Blake deserved the Best New Music he didn't get, you'll be happy to see how high he ranks. The biggest surprise to me is that Majical Cloudz makes the top 10, and for those keeping score, Yeezus is NOT #1. Can you guess what is?

Pitchfork just posted their Top 100 Tracks of 2013. It's got what some people might call the worst song ever, the song with the most talked-about rap verse of the year, some surprises, and some of the year's most undeniable songs. Their #1 pick is certainly one of those undeniable songs, whether or not you're a fan of the artist who made it. What do you think of their list? Did your favorite song make it? Any glaring omissions?

Queens of the Stone Age at ACL 2013 (more by Tim Griffin)
Queens of the Stone Age made a solid comeback this year with ...Like Clockwork, an album which has ended up on many year-end lists, including NME, Rolling Stone, Paste, SPIN, Q, Mojo, Amazon and Rough Trade. We asked them to send a list of their favorite albums of the year. They're a big band, and their list mostly includes other big bands (and big solo artists), but it's also got a certain Jack White-approved compilation, and two relatively smaller artists, Earthless and Kurt Vile, so kudos to those guys for being QOTSA-approved. You can check out the full list below.
As discussed, Queens of the Stone Age will bring their tour to NYC on Saturday (12/14) at Barclays Center with The Kills. Tickets for that show are still available.

It's been a transitional year for A.V. Club. The print version of The Onion ceased publication, and much of AVC's senior staff jumped ship for Pitchfork's new film site, The Dissolve. And then they got a redesign which is still a little kink-y. But they're still one of the best all-around arts and entertainment sites as far as I'm concerned. Like just about everyone else, they dropped their Best Albums of Year list this week. Due to a few ties, A.V. Club ended up with a 23 album list, topped by Kanye West's Yeezus, which has been hovering around the Top 5s on many lists this list season. Haim's Days are Gone is at #2 and you can check out the whole list below...
UK music weekly NME has just published its end-of-year issue, with their Top 50 LPs and Tracks of 2013. As for the albums list, we'll let you read on to find out what their #1 pick is, but it might just be the one NME called "absolutely and unarguably the most incredible album of [said band's] career" and "the greatest record of the last decade." It's not Palma Violets, who were last year's Track of the Year, as their debut LP came in at #32 on the list.
As for tracks, their single of the year is a pretty obvious (certainly ubiquitous) choice. Check out the full lists of NME's Top 50 LPs and Tracks below...

#1 LP of 2013 according to 'The Quietus'
Online UK music mag The Quietus started five years ago and quickly became (I think) one of the best sources for music writing on the web, giving a home to many former NME, Select and Q writers who are still seeking new music but are not so interested in the flavor of the month. The Quietus are not staffed by contrarians, nor sheep. To wit: the site just published its Top 100 LPs list of 2013 and topping it is Glynnaestra, the third album from UK duo Grumbling Fur which came out via Thrill Jockey back in August. From The Quietus' write-up:
Grumbling Fur make me want to take drugs. And I don't mean drugs like a few puffs on a spliff before bedtime or on a lazy Saturday afternoon, or a cheeky dabble at a rave to keep the energy flowing - I mean proper, don't-eat-for-18-hours-beforehand, make-sure-you've-got-a-couple-of-good-people-around-you, psychically prepared voyaging, preferably on a warm and sunny but slightly overcast afternoon in a field somewhere in the West Country, or in a friend's house cluttered to the rafters with fascinating and peculiar objects.The Quietus' Top 10 also includes some records you might have heard (David Bowie, Nick Cave, Foals, Factory Floor) but probably some others you haven't. And if you haven't heard Glynnaestra (I hadn't) you can stream it in full below.
You can check out The Quietus' entire Best LPs of 2013 list in this post, and they also made a Spotify playlist to accompany it. Their list, along with the Grumbling Fur album stream, is below..

Savages @ Terminal 5, 10/16/2013
Now, I get that writers--especially those who caught Savages' 2012 sets--could be a little bit blasé about double dipping for this year's coverage. But isn't that sort of crazy? Doesn't it stand to reason that a band is going to be much more accomplished after a solid two years of touring than they were in their first nervous NYC moments? This is compounded because we are still talking about a very young band, just starting their career. Their debut record, Silence Yourself, came out this May! They are the same age as any number of young bands we're treating as more exciting new commodities this week, but they are untold magnitudes better as performers. I enjoyed Joanna Gruesome quite a bit Tuesday night, but there's no comparison as to who is the more powerful live act right now. It's different universes! It's possible when listening to Savages' songs on record, or especially reading their myriad online manifestoes, to write them off as actually tame or pretentious post-punk acolytes. As Siouxsie without the novelty, to be basic. Live though? Holy fuck.2012 CMJ "winners" Savages came back for a victory lap at this year's fest, moving to Terminal 5 on October 16. Pictures from their set (we missed opener Duke Garwood) are in this post.
No duh they "won" CMJ last year, if we're being honest they won this one too. They might be "winning" rock music. Period. - [The L Magazine]
The band are back in Europe for a tour that just started and they'll head to Australia and NZ in the new year. Those dates are listed, along with more pics from T5, below...

Savages at ACL 2013 Weekend 1 (more by Dana (distortion) Yavin)
At last year's CMJ, Savages won everyone over with their intense live show, and this time around they're back, but not as some buzz band. The British post-punks play one of CMJ's largest shows, headlining Terminal 5 on Wednesday (10/16) with Duke Garwood (known for collaborations with Mark Lanegan, who coincidentally plays NYC tonight). Tickets for the show are still available, some CMJ badges will be accepted at the door, and we're also giving away a pair of tickets.
Contest details, along with the updated list of dates and a video, below...

Pictures from those bands -- and more -- are in this post.

My Bloody Valentine / Bjork
We already posted pictures of day 1 of this past weekend's Berlin Festival, and now we've got a set of pictures from the second day in this post. Day 2 included sets by Bjork, My Bloody Valentine, Savages, Klaxons (who we missed), and more. Pictures from that day and Bjork's setlist are in this post.
My Bloody Valentine will be in NYC when their North American tour hits Hammerstein Ballroom on November 12. Tickets for those shows are currently on Live Nation presale (password: "scorcher"), and the general on-sale begins Friday (9/13) at 10 AM.

festival roundup: Berlin Festival, ACL Fest, FFF Fest, CMJ, Voodoo Experience, CBGB Fest, Treasure Island
The big festival season may be coming to a close now that Labor Day is behind us and it doesn't really feel like summer anymore, but of course that doesn't mean there aren't any to still look forward to (though many are in warmer places than here in the Northeast).
One festival that will take an airplane ticket and a passport to get to from the US, but has a lineup that might make it worth it, is the Berlin Festival in -- you guessed it -- Berlin. It goes down this weekend from September 6-7 and includes Blur, Bjork, Pet Shop Boys, My Bloody Valentine, Klaxons, Savages, Justice (DJ), John Talabot (live), and more. Tickets for the festival are on sale now. Full schedule here.
In October, Austin gets the previously discussed Austin City Limits Festival for two weekends (10/4-6 & 10/11-13) with Depeche Mode, The Cure, Atoms for Peace, Phoenix, Wilco, Vampire Weekend, The National, passion Pit, Queens of The Stone Age, Arctic Monkeys, Kendrick Lamar, Franz Ferdinand and more. Weekend passes for weekend 2 and VIP options for both weekends are still available. Check out the schedule here. If you'll be in Austin for the festival, don't forget to catch some of the official late shows too.
Later on in the year, Austin gets the previously discussed Fun Fun Fun Fest (Nov. 8-10) which includes Descendents, Quicksand, Television, Deerhunter, MGMT, M.I.A., Snoop Dogg, Cut Copy, The Walkmen, Kurt Vile, Body Count, Cloud Nothings, Title FIght, White Lung and more. Tickets are still available. Check out the full lineup.
Around that same time, New Orleans hosts the previously mentioned Voodoo Experience festival (11/1-3) with Pearl Jam, Nine Inch Nails, The Cure, The Gaslight Anthem, Desaparecidos, Cults, Rudimental and more. Tickets are still available. Check out the full schedule.
Though it's not quite a "festival," NYC will be bombarded by a whole slew of bands this fall when a big portion of the music industry heads our way for the 2013 CMJ Music Marathon, which runs from October 15-19. Confirmed artists include The Dismemberment Plan, Pelican, Jacco Gardner, Good Riddance, Godflesh, Eagulls, Courtney Barnett, The Long Winters, Savages, Yamantaka // Sonic Titan, Eleanor Friedberger, Kevin Drew, Obits, Fuck Buttons, Quadron, Speedy Ortiz, Lawrence Rothman and more. Badges are on sale now.
Right before CMJ, NYC will be getting the 2013 CBGB Music & Film Festival which goes from October 9 to 13 across various venues and includes Andy Shernoff, Arto Lindsay, Bass Drum of Death, Dale Earnhardt Jr. Jr., Ginger Baker, Hanni El Khatib, Meat Puppets, Obits, The Spits, Tommy Ramone, and more. Badges are still available.
And right as CMJ is ending in NYC, San Francisco will be getting its two-day Treasure Island Music Festival (10/19-20). That festival includes Atoms for Peace, Beck, Animal Collective, James Blake, Japandroids, Disclosure, Tricky, Little Dragon, and more. Tickets are still available. Check out the full schedule.
What else?
The 2013 CMJ Music Marathon happens from October 15 - 19 at clubs all over New York City. As we've been tweeting about at @BVCMJ, tonight (8/27), the CMJ folks held an announcement party at Bowery Electric with live performances from Weekend and Magic Man.
They also announced their initial line-up for this year's fest, which includes Kevin Drew, The Long Winters, Real Estate, Obits, The Dismemberment Plan (Terminal 5), Pelican (who are playing both of our Invisible Oranges showcases at Saint Vitus), Jacco Gardner, Good Riddance, Godflesh, Eagulls, the Pendu Sound showcase, and many more.
We'll have a set of pics from Weekend and Magic Man soon, but for now peruse the full initial CMJ 2013 line-up below.

TED Radio Hour on RADIO IQ & WVTF
Ted Radio Hour on RADIO IQ & RADIO IQ With BBC News Saturday afternoons at 2:00 and WVTF Tuesday evenings at 7:30.
A journey through fascinating ideas, astonishing inventions and new ways to think and create. Each episode includes riveting excerpts from the renowned TED stage where some of the world's deepest thinkers and innovators are invited to give the 18-minute "talk of their lives." The Ted Radio Hour team takes the most compelling talks and organizes them around a common theme. But we don't stop with the TEDTalks. Host Guy Raz interviews the guests, delving deeper, dissecting the speaker's ideas and posing probing questions you'd like to hear answered.
Topics the series explores include mankind's place in the universe and space, how the sounds around us affect our behavior and why there is power in failure.
Program Headlines
Friday, December 19, 2014 1:13am
Compassion is considered a universal virtue, but is it innate or taught? Have we lost touch with it? And can we become better at it? In this hour, TED speakers explore compassion, its roots, its meaning and its future. Political pundit Sally Kohn says we shouldn't worry so much about being politically correct, but instead should try to be emotionally correct. Journalist and broadcaster Krista Tippett argues that overtly saintly and sappy connotations have made us lose touch with the true meaning of compassion — so she proposes a 'linguistic revival.' Author Robert Wright explains that humans are not only wired to be compassionate, but we have evolved to feel compassion out of self-interest. Religion scholar Karen Armstrong explains how compassion is the core principle in all world religions — in the form of the Golden Rule. Daniel Goleman, author of Emotional Intelligence, examines why we aren't more compassionate more of the time.
Friday, December 12, 2014 12:43am
What does it mean to be courageous? Is it an automatic response or a conscious choice? In this hour, TED speakers examine the nature of courage and what it takes to risk everything to do the right thing. Margaret Heffernan looks at why we keep ourselves from seeing injustices, and the courage it takes to stand up and combat them. As a war reporter, Janine di Giovanni goes to some of the most dangerous places on earth and tells the story people who demonstrate courage daily. Kimberly Motley defends Afghan women and girls forced into marriage or wrongly accused of adultery, and she does this without a bodyguard, a headscarf or speaking the language. Leana Wen has launched a campaign to expose systemic corruption in the medical field, despite threats from fellow doctors.
Friday, December 5, 2014 1:11am
What does money tell us about human nature? How does it motivate, trick, satisfy and disappoint us? In this hour, TED speakers share insights into our relationship with money. Psychologist Laurie Santos studies human irrationality by observing how primates make decisions — including some not-so-savvy money choices their human relatives often make. Behavioral economist Keith Chen says languages that don't have a future tense strongly correlate with higher savings. Social psychologist Paul Piff describes how almost anyone's behavior can change when they're made to feel rich. Career analyst and writer Daniel Pink explains why traditional rewards like money aren't always successful motivators. Social scientist Michael Norton researches how money can buy happiness — the key is social spending that benefits not just you, but other people.
Friday, November 28, 2014 1:33am
Some people might only dream of adventure, but for others, there's no other option but to explore the most extreme places on Earth. From the deepest caves to rough oceans, from the North Pole to dizzying heights on a high wire -- what drives adventurers to constantly push to the brink of human endurance? In this hour, TED speakers share their experiences of going to the edge of our world. Arctic explorer Ben Saunders recounts his harrowing solo ski trek to the North Pole. Engineer and daredevil caver Bill Stone pushes the frontier to the remotest depths of the Earth. Roz Savage quit her high-powered job to become an ocean rower. High-wire artist Philippe Petit tells the amazing story of how he walked between the Twin Towers.
Friday, November 21, 2014 1:33am
In this episode, we explore ways to find quiet in our busy lives. How can we make a conscious effort to seek out stillness and calm in a fast-paced and increasingly noisy world? Environmentalist John Francis shares the lessons he learned after not speaking a word for 17 years. Writer Susan Cain talks about the value of introverts, people who draw their energy from quieter, more low-key social interactions. Singer Megan Washington explains how singing quiets the part of her brain that makes her stutter. Cloudspotter Gavin Pretor-Pinney advocates slowing down for a moment to notice the beauty of clouds. Author Pico Iyer suggests it is our reflective moments that give life its meaning.

We have a heartbeat!
Find a Conversation
|Thu, 12-17-2009 - 8:31pm
I was so nervous before the u/s, but my acupuncturist ensured me this morning that my pulse definitely showed that I was pregnant. Still, every time the door opened at the RE's office to call someone back I got even more nervous.
But, thankfully, RE spotted the heartbeat as soon as he found the little babe on the u/s. He showed DH and I the little glowing flicker, wow. :) He then let us hear the heartbeat and said "You know who that is!" The heartbeat measured 134 bpm and the little babe measures at 6w,6d. RE said that everything looks good!
It felt very surreal during the u/s. DH and I were numb, but as soon as the resident dr. said you can breathe now, I started crying, DH started crying. I know that I've been very cautious with how today would go and have tried to not think too much about it, so the emotions that were held back came flooding out!
Here's the u/s pics...the first one shows little babe on the left and the yolk sac on the right. I think little babe looks like a seahorse in this pic. :) The white spot between the 2 tiny horizontal lines show where the heart is. The second is a close-up of the little babe.
Thank you all for the prayers and well-wishes along the way. I am so thankful for all of your support and understanding throughout everything. I will definitely still accept any SBV's though. :) I pray we have a keeper!
Me (29), DH (30) since March '06.

World Water Day may have come and gone, but the importance of preserving water remains. There are some amazingly innovative ways to harvest water out there, like this award-winning Chaac Ha Water Collector designed by students in the Yucatan region of Southern Mexico. This portable water harvesting concept can collect both dew and rain, accumulating 2.5 liters of water each night from dew alone. The idea behind the design was to provide consistent, clean water to rural Mexican communities where access is limited.
The Chaac Ha design, named after the Mayan god of rain, was inspired by observing natural processes. The form and material of the membrane that captures the water, for example, mirrors the way in which bromeliads derive moisture and nutrients from the air. As bromeliad leaves are hydrophobic, their microscopic irregularities encourage water to channel into a single reservoir. In the Chaac Ha design, Teflon is used to create the same effect. The structure of the design takes inspiration from a spiderweb and is collapsible for full portability.
Using state of the art software from 3D design and engineering software company Autodesk, the Chaac Ha system was recognized with the Autodesk Sustainability Workshop award last year. Students rewarded for their work were Diana Carolina Vega Basto, Luis Didier Cox Tamay, Andy Francisco Arjona Massa, Cindy Beatriz, Shirley Molina, and Álvaro Jesús Buenfil Ovando, from the Universidad Autónoma de Yucatán, Mérida.

Spokane Shock defensive coordinator Alex Sirianni will not return for the 2011 season. Standout defensive lineman Ben McCombs (No. 99 pictured above) won't be back either.
Click here for the article that will run in Tuesday's S-R.
Back with a Shock notebook, with the first item centering on the team's health. Ben McCombs and Raul Vijil won't play Friday, but the rest of the injury news is more favorable. Read more here.
I just got off the phone with Arizona coach Kevin Guy and he said receiver Rod Windsor is scheduled to return to Phoenix tonight after a workout with the Miami Dolphins. The coach said Windsor might even practice, since the Rattlers train at night to beat the heat during the day. I'll have more on Guy's thoughts on Shock coach Rob Keefe (you'll recall they're not exactly Facebook friends) and the playoff game in Friday's preview.
Tomorrow, I'll post a feature article on Shock defensive end Jerry Turner.
I put together a roundup of everything Shock related, including Ben McCombs' return, Raul Vijil's possible return, the departure of four Shock players to a rival team, Adam Shackleford talking jobs with Tri-Cities and more details about the new arena football league.
Read on.
Shock defensive end Ben McCombs (No. 99 pictured above) will try his hand at Mixed Martial Arts on a 10-fight card in September at the Spokane Arena. (Yes, the af2 season will be over by then).
More below and a couple of other leftovers from Saturday's win over Tri-Cities.
Ben McCombs has been an arenafootball2 impact player with Bakersfield, Rio Grande Valley and Central Valley. Nothing changed when he joined the 2009 Shock.
McCombs (No. 99 pictured above) was perhaps the biggest free-agent signing for Spokane, which returned 13 players from last year's squad. He's settled in as a starter at defensive end, registering four sacks in four games.
Read more about McCombs' journey to Spokane below in an unedited article that will run in Thursday's S-R.

Recycling sites face shutdown amid budget raids
5 cents: The minimum California Refund Value, or CRV, for cans and bottles
74 percent: Bottles and cans recycled in California
21.9 billion: CRV bottles and cans purchased statewide last year
$1.2 billion: Annual CRV money collected by the state
1,200: Recycling stations near shopping centers statewide
160: Estimated recycling stations closed statewide since July
SOURCES: Department of Conservation, Department of Finance, TOMRA Pacific
Californians who recycle cans and bottles for cash could soon face dramatically fewer redemption options because container take-back centers statewide are closing by the dozens.
Recycling companies and advocates blame repeated legislative raids on the state's recycling account, which uses unclaimed can and bottle deposits to support recycling huts in shopping- center parking lots and related programs.
Sacramento has siphoned more than $450 million from the account since 2002, mostly to close ongoing gaps in the state's general fund. There's still enough money to pay customers who return cans and bottles, but state officials said they can no longer subsidize handlers and processors like they once did.
"It's going to be a blow," said Anne Bernstein at the Urban Corps of San Diego County, which relies on payments from the recycling account to fund its collection program. "There is a good chance that all of these recyclables are just going to be thrown in the trash."
Widespread closures of recycling centers would hurt, for example, middle-class families who rely on recycling revenue for small luxuries and homeless people who count on bottles and cans for pocket money. At least six stations have closed in San Diego County so far, including kiosks at Albertson's stores in Fallbrook and Kearny Mesa, and a Ralphs in Mission Valley.
Dan Regan, who owns four facilities in San Diego, said his clients include a kindergarten teacher who turns in bottles and cans to pay for gas, and firefighters who do it as a fundraiser.
"Residents rely on this, especially this year," Regan said.
He faces his own struggles without the state payments he expected. "It's really tough," he said. "I have exhausted all my savings. Our business checkbook is down to almost nothing."
The state Department of Conservation's Web site says the fiscal troubles stem from more people recycling bottles and cans that qualify for the California Refund Value, better known as the CRV. But recycling industry leaders say the biggest problem is the legislative actions, portrayed as loans from the fund.
An alliance of recycling companies has sued the state, demanding that the loans be reimbursed and handling fees restored. Without those payments, the lawsuit said, about 1,200 recycling stations near major shopping centers statewide are in jeopardy because they are money-losing operations.
State recycling officials cited the lawsuit in declining to discuss the future of the program.
Adrian White, president of recycling giant TOMRA Pacific Inc., based in Riverside County, said the only way to prevent a collapse of California's consumer-friendly recycling program is for lawmakers to adopt a new strategy when they return to the Capitol in January.

Secure IMvironments?
by Seana Mulcahy on Oct 31, 2:40 PM
Seems like no matter where you look everyone is Instant Messaging (IM). Like everything else online, IM is being threatened. If you, like me, use IM like me for work and personal messages, this is a red flag waving--you are most likely at risk for viruses, Trojans, worms and hackers.

A Blog To Believe In
by Mark Naples on Oct 28, 1:30 PM
Anyone who reads this space knows that I've not yet become sold on the vitality of blogs. That is, I don't really see what the big deal is, except as they pertain to a special class of sub-media, if you will. That is--blogs feed search. And when people search for something, as an increasing number do, they are at least as likely to be influenced by blogs as they are by anything else.

What If Your Mousetrap Is Actually Worse?
by adam , Shelly Palmer on Oct 27, 10:00 AM
I am at Telecom '05 in Las Vegas this week, listening to all the telecom industry's future plans. As you can well imagine, IPTV (Internet Protocol Television) is the flavor of the month. Everybody has a technology, everybody has software, hardware, middleware, intelligence layers, content partners, billing systems. In fact, there's only two things missing... a customer, and even more important, a consumer value proposition that might actually attract one.

Customer Dialogue Is A Good Thing, Isn't It?
by Tom Hespos on Oct 24, 6:53 PM
Ever written a letter to someone at a corporation with your feedback about a product? A substitute teacher at my high school used to hammer home the importance of knowing how to write a coherent business letter by telling a story about the time he wrote to Johnnie Walker to voice his dissatisfaction with their product, and received an entire case of Scotch whiskey for his trouble. How often do you hear those stories in the Internet age?

Soul, Sizzle and Stamina
by Seana Mulcahy on Oct 24, 10:15 AM
We spend countless hours, days, weeks and (some of us) years trying to get into the minds of consumers. We all know that getting one bit of a consumer's attention is like an X Game of hoop-jumping. We seek out the intersection of the rational and emotional. For instance, you buy a car because you need to commute to work. You buy a Hummer to be cool, hip and show status.

Which One Would You Believe?
by Mark Naples on Oct 21, 10:15 AM
Lately, much has been made of the (maybe) increasingly blurred lines between marketing and journalism. I put maybe in parentheses because, depending on the outlet, this line has either been nonexistent or as impenetrable as the Great Wall of China since the advent of the insertion order.
