Oh, Tampa Bay. You had to know you were getting a good one, right? You had heard the comparisons to Joe Sakic and Steve Yzerman and saw the videos of this kid with the bee on his jersey doing impossibly complex things for a teenager on skates. Surely there was some cautious optimism given that your captain never fully turned into the next Super Mario, but the stars were lining up for the kid to be one hell of a player. At the very least he inspired more confidence than Riku Helenius.
It wasn't readily apparent that this baby faced blonde kid who had just officially become a professional hockey player shaking the commissioner's hand would be one to make history in your jersey, but time has a way of hashing those things out. Plenty of things have changed since then. For instance, the team that drafted second isn't purple anymore and the team that drafted third doesn't exist. The kid didn't change much though – just got a bit older, a bit better and grew a better haircut to match the lethal shot.
That's what so much of this was about – the lethal shot. What started as 20 became 50 all too quick for the league to process. The kid was supposed to be good, but not 50 good this fast. Time to tighten the screws on the kid and bring him down to a paltry 45. It's almost comical how good he is at scoring goals for someone who was born at the same time as "Ice Ice Baby".
Still though, you didn't really NOTICE him in the playoffs, right? This team played three series and he only mustered 13 points – Sean bloody Bergenheim had nine goals. Hardly star material. Just your typical one dimensional guy. A kid. Not ready to take that next step.
As it turns out we, the viewers, may not have been his biggest critics. He, the player, was. Another hard hitting offseason with the guy who turns young stars into machines and he was ready to blow away that doubt. To silence those critics. To one-up himself.
The team took a step back, what with an aging goaltender among a host of other issues, but the kid forged on, pushing forward, trying to get back to where they were. Could he have done more? Probably not without strapping on a set of pads but I don't fault him for that. Can you?
The thing about being 50 good is you're already among the best. Being 60 good is hardly processable these days out there shooting dead pucks. But, he did do 60 good, and not with a whole lot of help. It's silly to think about the fact that 48 of them came with all five guys on the other team trying to stop him. It's silly to think that only three other people playing have hit that mark. It's silly, if not poetic, to think the last guy to score that many goals and miss the playoffs is his boss.
What's next for the kid? 70? That seems unlikely, but do you want to be the one who bets against him? Against that shot?
I don't know if he wants to hit 70, but one thing is perfectly clear.
"You trade this stuff in a heartbeat for winning a championship"
With some people, it's not a matter of if, it's a matter of when. He was never supposed to be 50 good this fast. He was never supposed to be 60 good this fast. Joe hit 50 and did it. Stevie Y hit 60 and did it.
Do you want to bet against #91?

following ivan illich's concept of 'tools for convivality', the pedal powered washing machine is aimed at saving one time, labour and fossil fuels by washing clothes without a generator. the open resource project called
'les outils des l'autonomie' (the tools of autonomy), provides instructions on how to build one's own manually
powered washing machine – washer x bike – using recycled components.
to build your own pedal powered washing machine you must obtain:
- a washing machine with top opening
- a bicycle at speed without a fork or small tray with front wheel type ATV (22 teeth)
- a belt of the same type as the original of 1.20 depending on the size of the wheel used
- minimum rafter measuring ideally, about 5m
- tubes, angles, flat bars, bike carriers
- thick plate (3-4mm) for turntables
- Ø 10-12 bolts, washers, nuts
to manufacture your 'washing machine':
- completely remove the inner washing machine, keeping the tank, its door opening and drain hose
- secure the vessel on a chassis rafter
- present the bike and make the bike carriers using tube, angles or other flat irons available.
all elements are welded together to the bike.
- slots are drilled into the plates (3-4mm), which allow for the adjustment of the voltage belt
- place the bike on the chassis, measuring using a string the length of the belt if necessary
- drill four holes into the frame and secure
- to prevent slippage of the belt, line the inside rim with a slip – similar to that of skateboard grips
- putting it in place, tighten tender and the machine is ready
full instructions can be found on the project's website here.
to effectively clean your clothes, the rotation of the tank should not be too fast – about 50 rpm.
to achieve this speed, while pedaling comfortably, use a tray of 22 teeth. hot water can come from a water heater,
a solar cooker, a cooker timer etc. in keeping with reducing fossil fuels. the manufacture, use and maintenance
of the pedal powered washing machin is available to all, powered by one's manual, physical movement.
The complete presentation of this wonderful tool (un-censored) :
"This pedal powered washing machine is aimed to save time, labour and fossil fuels, somehow following Ivan Illich's concept of "tools for conviviality".
It is completly built with recycled composants and you can build your own washing-bike following the instruction you'll found on http://www.outils-autonomie.info . This bike has gears and turns the drum.
Wash cycle : 15 minutes. Rinse : 5 minutes. Spin : 5 minutes.
Every load of laundry is a principled exercise against France's nuclear policy !"
It's wonderful! I want one like that!!!
Good work Buddy!!! great exercise too! JUST need to work on the look. Best of luck!!!
They should put this machine into the gyms. Then they can have a lot of washing done
I can't see many people in the UK sitting out in the garden doing washing by leg power, but it certainly looks like a great way to keep fit as well as save on the energy bills

This short animated fiction book describes a woman named Rebecca and her experiences of family violence. This book presents her journey as she moves from victim to survivor to social activist. A structural feminist analysis of the root causes of family violence and interventions and strategies to assist survivors of family violence are highlighted. Geared to assist survivors of violence and service users, students who are learning about abuse, and clinicians/practitioners who are working in this area, specific information discussing the cycle of violence, stages of coping, feminist interventions, safety planning, and treatment for men is featured. In addition, suggestions for the prevention of family violence at cultural, political, and social levels are presented.The authors use 2 different writing styles within this text. Rebecca's actual story about her family is written at a grade 7 literacy level to make this book more accessible to a broad segment of the general public. At the same time, specific sections featuring theory, analysis, assessment, and intervention have been written with clinical practitioners and professional helpers in mind.

The List of Off-Limits Men
By YourTango
Not so long ago, the most resolute act you could carry out in order to assert your commitment to ending a bad relationship was to throw the guy out and change the locks. If you were really brazen, you could toss his clothes into the mulberry bush beneath your window. The truly disturbed might sleep with his best friend or pour sugar into the gas tank of his souped-up Ford Escort. In this modern age, the most threatening, and perhaps only way to put a period at the end of a liaison headed toward Splitsville is one simple, though potent act: erase the guy's number from your cell phone.
My friend Rebecca is the queen of "The Phone Number Delete." When affairs are smooth, she gleefully adds her latest suitor to the list of people to whom she sends an endless stream of inconsequential text messages – "Is it me, or is it goddamn freezing" or "What was the name of Arnold's best friend on Diff'rent Strokes" or "I just made shrimp tacos and, man, are they awesome."
However, once texts aren't being responded to, once dates are cancelled without explanation, the guy gets erased. I always know when her latest fling is on the rocks because she'll send a text message with the same three unambiguous words: "I'm deleting him." I know things are really bad when she is "sooo deleting him."
I guess the logic is simple: if the guy's number isn't in her phone she'll be able to save face and wean herself off him because she won't be tempted to assail him with desperate texts. Another more mysterious upshot is that, somehow, she won't be expecting his call because he's no longer "in" her phone. Of course, if the guy does call, regardless of how well he makes up for the previous slight, she immediately saves the number and loves him again.
My dear Rebecca has a tendency to attract guys who have no intention of even committing to a choice on a dinner menu let alone a relationship. After having deleted the third playboy drummer she'd dated in a year, she called this past weekend to have me talk her down from accepting a dinner date with a DJ with two girlfriends and a wife.
Thus was born the 'List of Off-Limits Men,' a list of guys Rebecca promised herself never to get involved with in any way, shape or sexual position. No one was perfect, she knew. Some types just had history.
"Bike messengers," Rebecca started as I played secretary. "Skateboarders. Oh, guys who work at gyms."
"Man, you've really gotta upgrade."
"Married men," she went on. "Restaurant owners."
"Oh, that's gonna be a loss."
"Have you ever dated one?" She asked. "They get to hire cute waitresses and always have an excuse for coming home at six in the morning."
Rebecca added DJs, musicians and bartenders to the list, on account of their hotness and endless supply of tail, while I suggested adding university professors.
"Really?" She asked.
"Professors are rock stars for the ivy league set."
In the end, we came up with twenty-five types of men Rebecca could no longer date. Though I wasn't positive this was the best way to cure my friend's romantic woes, I promised to type up the list and send her a laminated copy.
Obviously, I could create my own list of off-limits men, just as I'm sure my male friends could create a lis

FAQs: SUMMER I 2014 ELIGIBILITY OF FINANCIAL AID
How do I apply for aid for Summer I 2014?
To be considered for aid for Summer I 2014 you must:
- First, register for classes. We only award funds to students who are registered. The amount awarded will be based on your enrollment status.
- Have a 2013-2014 FAFSA on file in the Office of Financial Aid.
- Have submitted all required documents and forms requested by the Office of Financial Aid
- Be in good academic standing based on financial aid regulations for ECC financial aid students.
Will there be aid for Summer I 2014?
Yes. Aid will be very limited. Available funds for Summer I 2014 are the Pell Grant for those who have funds remaining from Pell and Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (SEOG).
How do I qualify for Pell or SEOG?
Pell: If you were full-time for Fall 2013 and Spring 2014 and received Pell at ECC or any college, you will not be eligible for Pell for Summer I 2014.
Review the chart below to determine your eligibility for PELL for Summer I:
SEOG: To be considered for SEOG funds, you must first register for classes for Summer I 2014 and meet all the general requirements for receiving aid. You must be eligible for Pell and have a zero (0) Estimated Family Contribution (EFC) to be considered for SEOG. SEOG is awarded on a first come, first served basis. The funds are very limited therefore; everyone will not be awarded SEOG. The Office of Financial Aid will determine your eligibility for SEOG. Again, funds are limited, so register early. Web Registration for Summer I will open on March 24, 2014.
What happens if I add or drop a class after I am registered and awarded?
Your Pell award (if awarded) will be adjusted based on your enrollment. If your SEOG award is canceled for any reason (reduced credit load etc.) those funds will be awarded to other students. If you add credits later, the funds may not be available to reinstate your award. So, make sure your registration is correct because funds may no longer be available.
What happens if I am not eligible for Pell or SEOG?
If you are not eligible for Pell or SEOG for any reason (used all your Pell, SEOG funds are exhausted etc.) you must be prepared to pay your own registration bill for Summer I 2014. You may apply for a loan. Information about applying for a loan is on our website at www.essex.edu. We have no other funds to award for Summer I 2014.

Congratulations to the happy couple!
Top secret plans have been kept under wraps for a good while now and Darren and Alison were finally married today on the beach at Abaco in the Bahamas where they have a home.
The couple, who met in 2009 by courtesy of an introduction through Graeme McDowell, became engaged just before Christmas 2011 and have now officially tied the knot as man and wife.
The wedding was a private family affair attended by Darren's two boys Tyrone and Conor, both sets of parents, sister Andrea, husband Davy and their two boys, Chubby and Cupid himself Gmac!
Darren and Alison along with all their guests were dressed in white which against the white sand and the blue sea and sky made for a pretty stunning occasion, as well as a very happy one.
Their short honeymoon will be spent at Abaco before Darren heads off to Korea to play in the Ballantine's Championship next week whilst Alison returns to the helm of her Belfast based business the Alison Campbell Model Agency.
Photographs to follow.

Name typo in the following paragraph from the article. Please amend. "The repeated takes on relations between a single mother who drives a school bus (Woodland), her daughter who wants a confirmation dress (House), and the wizened uncle (Stapleton) could use some tailoring. So could the interminable scenes set in a bra store. Sometimes less is more."

I went to see this "play" last night. It was trash. Absolute trash. Resource Centre for The Arts is a misnomer. It is not a resource centre, nor is it artistic. It's schlock. Plain and simple. Amy and Berni are friends. And they brought their other friend in. How does this help the arts community? HOw does this fulfill the mandate of RCAT? Why is nobody standing up and screaming about this? It's embarrassing. How about telling a story that's current? How about moving us forward? The Tidy Package was opened years ago. Move on.

Hi there "Audiencemember". I'm on the board for RCA. Before I respond, here's the theatre company's mandate: to provide opportunities through mentoring and production for the artistic growth of all Newfoundland and Labrador theatre artists; to offer a platform to facilitate emerging theatre artists' work; and to produce theatre that cultivates, enriches and promotes the culture of Newfoundland and Labrador. How does this help the arts community? 20 people, mostly working artists were employed. We brought in an assistant to director Lois Brown in a mentorship role. And three women in their fifties stood on stage and told very personal stories that they have been crafting for 2 years about their lives and families. I don't understand why you ignore the numerous out of character & costume monologues & dialogues that start, end, and punctuate the show. HOw does this fulfill the mandate of RCAT? Well, we provided an opportunity through mentoring and producing for the growth of if not all, around 20 NL artists. (If you don't think those individuals grew, you'll have to take it up with them to be sure. But I actually spoke to some of the people working on the show about that. They didn't indicate that they took nothing away from working on the show.) Obviously you don't feel that the show cultivates, enriches or promotes the culture of Newfoundland and Labrador. It's three Newfoundland women with different backgrounds and experiences speaking quite frankly about working and living in Newfoundland today. And if the show were solely caricature and broad send-up, there would still be many people who would be pleased with how the show represents NL culture, as evidenced by the fact that Revue is still packing them in all over the island. But it's not just that. Again, not sure why you totally discount the number of pieces in the show that are quite obviously not going for laughs. Why is nobody standing up and screaming about this? I can't answer that. Maybe because you're alone in your opinion that the show is so bad people should stand up and scream? Why aren't you standing up and screaming about it? Putting the word play in quotes does not count. How about telling a story that's current? So, you're saying there are no elderly women living in poverty currently? That there are no women with body issues currently? That there are no underemployed single mothers balancing the responsibilities of raising a child and caring for an elderly family member at the same time currently? Oh wait, I just got it - it's the confirmation dress bit. You're right, no one gets confirmed anymore, totally inappropriate. How about moving us forward? As long as women make less thann men than average, as long as women are still more likely to be abused by men than vice versa, and as long as there are elderly people struggling with neglect, there is a reason to put stories like this on stage. You haul out Tidy Package as a disparaging reference - know how I know you never worked in the fishery? Anyways, you hated hated hated the show. Fine. But regardless of your opinion, it is emphatically a "play", and RCA is a resource center for the arts ( ask any one of the recipients of the thousands of dollars in development funding we provide if that cash was a resource for their art). Be sure to say hi next time you see me!

Yawn.... what a tired old act. Wasn't this boring old act beaten to death about 15 years ago? How about something a little fresher than dressing up like its 1940, sharpening up the Newfoundland accents, and talking about an age most people today cannot remember? For $35, it is much too over-priced. You can get great theatre in St. John's for much less.

Ask Slashdot: Science Books For Middle School Enrichment?
timothy posted about 2 years ago | from the summer-reading-time-approaches dept.
203new submitter heybiff writes "It is the time of year where students are scrambling for extra credit assignments to boost grades. As a middle school science teacher, I want to accommodate them, while still keeping science involved; and book reports are a popular activity in my school. Unfortunately, I have only been able to come up with a short list of science related books that a 11-14 year old would or could read in their free time: Ender's Game, Hitchhiker's Guide. What books would you recommend as a good read for an extra credit book report, that would still involve a strong science twist or inspire a student's interest in science? The book must be in print, science related, fiction or non-fiction, and not be overtly objectionable or outright banned. I look forward to the submissions." "Outright banned" actually seems a rich vein on which to draw; note that not even Ender's Game is safe.

Current Monkey D. Luffy , Zoro , Sanji Vs Kyuubi Mode Naruto
Scenario 1: In character
Scenario 2: bloodlusted
- No holding back
- All serious
- No prep
- No morality
- Win by death
Naruto, rather easily. Don't forget that he can spam Shadow Clones that assume any of his transformed states with Kurama or Sage Mode, all of which are capable of producing the same abilities he can manifest within those forms. Even with Haki, the Straw Hat team's gonna be too overwhelmed with the powerful numbers that Naruto can create.
@taichokage: The three would have to perform a simultaneous attack on Naruto if they could hope to even dent him. While I could at least agree on the One Piece crew equaling Naruto in speed, he's easily at mountain-level in Rikudo Mode and individual attacks from the team would be a suicidal move.
Naruto loses round one for sure, because first, in character, BM Naruto doesn't spam clones so that's a dead point. Luffy and Sanji will overwhelm Naruto in H2H (hand to hand to leg in Sanji's case), while Zoro cuts his head off. Now round two might go to Naruto, granted he can escape the ruthless beatdown that is inevitable from a bloodlusted Luffy, Sanji, and Zoro. That one can go either way, but i'll lean toward Naruto more with his rasengan spammage.
@ChromeDisaster: Hand to hand helping out how, exactly? Naruto's durability greatly surpasses the One Piece team and they would have to exert a great amount of effort in order to have any shot at beating Naruto. Bladed weaponry isn't gonna cut it either considering earlier showings of them like Orochimaru's Kusanagi Sword could barely pierce the flesh of Naruto's 4-Tailed Kyubi form and his body's quite likely much more durable to such weapons since that time. Even taking away Bijuu Bombs and Shadow Clones, the One Piece team's chances of victory are quite low, regardless of being in character or bloodlusted.
Isn't Naruto resistant to heat and blades? I've yet to see Naruto seriously injured while in either Kyubi or Rikudo mode, so I'm unsure as to how much damage any of the Monster Trio can give him. Haki will definitely play a huge factor here, but wasn't Naruto's speed fast enough to deflect several Bijuu bombs just by running past them? I'm really torn on this...

The Composers
Jean (Julius Christian) Sibelius
Sibelius (1865-1957) learned about and loved music and nature from an early age, and he grew to be an exceptional player of the violin he had been given on his fifteenth birthday. His family didn't approve of his desire for a career in music and composition though, and enrolled him in Helsinki University to study law. He also enrolled in the Helsinki Academy of Music, and with the later encouragement of an uncle moved over to it full time, composing a String Trio in A major and a String Quartet in A minor among others. He went on to study in Berlin and Vienna, but on his return to Finland, the country's nationalism (prompted by fears of its Soviet-controlled future) sparked an urge in Sibelius to use his music to express Finnish identity.
The Kaleva, a Finnish epic, inspired many of Sibelius' works. The first to bring him fame was a five-movement symphonic poem Kullervo (1892), followed by En Saga, the Karelia Suite, and his most well-known work, Finlandia. This last was banned by the Russian authorities because of its morale-boosting effect on the population. His First Symphony in E minor is a romantic work (owing a lot to Tchaikovsky), but the Second Symphony in D minor is more characteristic of Sibelius' technique of constructing movements from small 'cells' which expand and transform.
The tone poem Tapiola marked the end of Sibelius' composing career in 1926, though he lived until 1957. In his seven symphonies, orchestral, choral and chamber music, the Finnish country and native folk songs inspire a majestic and richly harmonic expression of proud national identity. Some of Sibelius' works also seem to portray a feeling of animosity, directed at the Russian dominance and restriction of his country.

Chan CM et al. – Src is a central mediator of thyroid cancer growth and metastasis, indicating that Src inhibitors may have a higher therapeutic efficacy in thyroid cancer, as both antitumor and antimetastatic agents.
Methods- The effects of dasatinib on thyroid cancer growth, signaling, cell cycle, and apoptosis were evaluated in vitro.
- The therapeutic efficacy of dasatinib was further tested in vivo using an orthotopic and a novel experimental metastasis model.
- Expression and activation of SFKs in thyroid cancer cells was characterized, and selectivity of dasatinib was determined using an Src gatekeeper mutant.
- Dasatinib treatment inhibited Src signaling, decreased growth, and induced cell-cycle arrest and apoptosis in a subset of thyroid cancer cells.
- Immunoblotting showed that c-Src and Lyn are expressed in thyroid cancer cells and that c-Src is the predominant SFK activated.
- Treatment with dasatinib blocked PTC tumor growth in an orthotopic model by more than 90% (P = 0.0014).
- Adjuvant and posttreatment approaches with dasatinib significantly inhibited metastasis (P = 0.016 and P = 0.004, respectively).

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Ol' Man!
Facts about Ol' Man
- Breed: Spaniel (Unknown Type)
- Color: White - With Red, Golden, Orange Or Chestnut
- Age: Senior
- Size: Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
- Sex: Male
Ol' Man's Info...
I am already neutered, housetrained, purebred, up to date with shots, good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
Ol'Man is a spaniel mix we believe to be 10+ years old. He seems to be in great health and still has pep in his step! He's neutered and is housebroken granted he's able to go out a few times a day (keep in mind, he's older). Due to trauma, he is blind in his left eye and he is also quite hard of hearing but that doesn't stop him. He's very mellow and content with sleeping all day. It breaks my heart to see him living in a kennel as I feel he should be living out the rest of his years next to a fireplace on a warm rug. Up to date on vaccines (distemper/parvo, bordatella, and rabies). Rehoming fee is $75 to cover care, food, and vaccines.
Other Pets at Airport Veterinary Center
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Ol' Man, a Wappingers Falls Spaniel (Unknown Type) dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Spaniel (Unknown Type) for sale in Wappingers Falls, or seeking a Spaniel (Unknown Type) dog from a breeder in Wappingers Falls.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Wappingers Falls already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Wappingers Falls breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Spaniel (Unknown Type) breeders who help with Spaniel (Unknown Type) rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Wappingers Falls paves the way for another one to be saved.

Photo of Chris Downey © Curt Campbell, VA Palo Alto.
Summary: Chris Downey is a San Francisco Bay area architect who had been working for Michelle Kaufmann Designs one and a half months when he was diagnosed with a brain tumor. One month later, he went in for surgery with the understanding that there was a slight chance he would lose his sight as a result of the operation. Two days after the surgery, Downey lost his sight permanently. Since that time, he has undergone rehabilitation and training that not only help him cope with his new circumstances, but also allow him to thrive as an architect. Now, Downey is using his experience as what he calls a "rookie blind person" to assist SmithGroup and associate architect The Design Partnership in the design of the Polytrauma and Blind Rehabilitation Center in Palo Alto, Calif., for the Department of Veterans Affairs.
Why did you become an architect? I got really interested in architecture in junior high school. My family had moved from Tennessee to North Carolina and in the process of experiencing new environments and new homes and buildings, I got interested in architecture. It's the creativity: the art, drawing, and problem solving that I enjoy doing and am good at.
Describe how losing your sight changed the way you practice. It's completely different, [but] the issues are largely the same. Being that I can't see drawings anymore and I can't see buildings, I've had to find new ways to do that and new ways of walking through a building and trying to understand a space. That's a skill that I'll be developing over time. It's not easy, but the good thing is as you learn, you start hearing things that you would never notice before. [For instance,] I can walk down a hallway and sense where other halls join into the hallway just by air pressure and acoustics.
As sighted architects, we design largely with visual skills with visual media. What you see defines a beautiful building. When you're designing a building, so much of it is based on the visual experience and when that's not in the equation, then what makes a nice building, a nice space, a nice place to be whether you're just sitting there enjoying the day or reading a book or moving around and engaging with people? What I'm trying to do in my work is address the pragmatic need of getting around in buildings and environments, but then secondly addressing the quality of the architectural experience if you aren't going to see it. That, I think, involves a broader engagement with other senses that result in a much richer environment for everybody.
How has your experience helped guide the design of the Polytrauma and Blind Rehabilitation Center? The Western Blind Rehabilitation Center [ed. note: this is the existing facility's name] for the VA has department directors that are blind who have been involved with the design process, but until I got involved it was difficult for them to understand what was going on. They didn't have drawings they could look at, so they would be involved in the architectural discussion, but it was a completely rhetorical discussion about very specific things.
One thing that happened as a result of my rehab training is that my computer technology trainer set me up with an embossing printer that prints drawings basically as if it was a Braille text, so the line becomes periods and dots that I can feel. It was developed primarily so that I could work with the designs. I couldn't see it, but I could feel it and then I could start understanding buildings that way as they were being designed. As I got involved with this particular project, I then had the opportunity of sharing those drawings with the blind or visually impaired staff for the Western Blind Rehabilitation Center. That opened up the entire architectural process to them, which was pretty exciting because it makes it really brings them into the process in a way that otherwise they were shut out of—not by anybody's intention but just not by having the means to engage in the conversation.
A lot of what I do is more like a creative director where I respond to the work that's being done as observations and say, "This kind of space would be really confusing to someone that's blind." If you go through a great hall or a big lobby and you've got doors at either end of the lobby, how can you get from one door to the next? How you navigate through that space? What sort of landmarks or clues can be used within the environment to help you get from one side to the other where you need to be, or what things could be hazardous or just confusing to someone who's blind?
How has your client responded to having a blind architect? Before I got involved with the project, it had been underway for a while. I joined them in mid-design development. Prior to joining the team, the client had been really concerned that here they had two very capable professional companies doing a polytrauma blind center, but how do they have the experience and knowledge of designing environments for people who are blind? [The architects conducted experiments where] they blindfolded themselves for periods of time to experience it, but they know that's just a trial and that doesn't get you through a day. That doesn't give you understanding of how you understand space if you're blind. It just is an experiment to do for an hour. I know from my experience that it takes a long time to get to where you really understand your space and how to move around and things that are important to you if you don't have sight. So, when I showed up on the scene, I was kind of a curiosity to the team but [they realized] this is the perfect opportunity and something to bring to the client to their benefit and the VA.
If you're blind you don't go into architecture. Typically, if you lose your sight, it's late in life and you're close to retirement. It's hard to continue practicing architecture if you can't see. Until recently there wasn't much technology to help you do that. Now there's more and more. I'm in a unique situation at this point, so the client was really pleased that they had somebody on the team that was working with them everyday that was blind and that can bring a lot of experience to them. Quite frankly, [I think they found it helpful that] I'm a rookie blind person—still new to me—and the people that they're serving are rookies. They recently lost their sight, so it's a fresh experience for me and it's something that I can bring to the project…and that gives them a much greater level of comfort.
I think it's also a nice story for their patients that are dealing with vision loss. A lot of people think, you lose your sight, the party's over. Now what do you do? I think the fact that I'm continuing to work as an architect and am uniquely engaged in the process and excited about it is meaningful to the client and also to the users.
Have you found the built environment to be friendly or unfriendly to the blind and visually impaired? Blindness and visual impairments are a unique situation for accessibility. You can get around physically just fine. What we don't have access to is information to get around. [For example, the ADA] requirements for Braille at bathrooms, exits, and floors [don't] tell you how to get around a building. If you [are sighted, you] come off of an elevator and there could be a sign that tells you which way to go for different departments or rooms or, if it's a larger complex, from one building to another building. If you're blind, there could be a Braille sign to tell you where to go, but how do you know the sign is there? How do you even find it? That [lack] of access to information for wayfinding has really surprised me. There's not a system in place today that gives that equal access to that kind of information and I think it's critical. Without it, you're dependent on someone taking you there or having to ask for directions, which quite frankly may or may not be correct. There are a number of people, companies that are working on that. There's nothing that's in place just yet. That so far in my experience has been the greatest area of concern or deficiency in how we're dealing with accessibility for the visually impaired.
Most of the visually impaired that are out walking around today have cell phones with GPS systems and that'll get you through an urban environment pretty well, but you go onto a [university or corporate] campus where you don't have predictable streets but winding sidewalks and steps and [spread out] buildings and services, the GPS won't get you through those places.
I think the rest of the code is doing a pretty good job of basic safety concerns of protruding objects off walls and warnings of pedestrian ways and vehicular ways and solid risers in stairs so your cane doesn't get caught in the riser.
What do you think you'll do upon completion of the project? There are a number of options. There's interest from both firms [I'm working with] to be involved with other projects and pursue other opportunities with them. The other thing I've really become interested in is the whole question of designing environments for people that are blind and visually impaired. That [may include] other blind rehabilitation centers, schools for the blind, and transit facilities: any place where you have lots of people moving through unfamiliar spaces on a regular basis. Issues of accessibility through those spaces are critical.
Final thoughts? Blind or visually impaired, we go everywhere. We may not be there in large numbers, but we can get around anywhere. There are some places that are pretty straightforward and others that are really confusing and hard to navigate. I think that as architects design spaces, you don't often think about the clarity of movement and the clarity of use. I know as an architect, previously I never thought about what it would be like to engage this building without sight. Even with ADA, a lot of the focus has been on people with physical mobility issues, but there's not a whole lot in ADA about visual impairment. I think it's important for architects to consider the clarity of a space and how understandable it is and to try to assume something other that a full set of sensory skills, whether it's doing without sight or other senses or mobility. In professional circles, we tend to get surrounded by so many people that are completely able-bodied that we forget the reality of a lot of people that have other issues. I think it's important to consider that as a beginning of the design process so that you develop an architectural form and language that works for more people.

Link Live Sessions
Our video team films musicians playing in various spots around the city.
Declan O'Donovan
Whitehorse, Yukon's Declan O'Donovan, who's touring the country to promote his new alt-roots blues LP, will be in Montreal this weekend.
This blues-, jazz-, rock- and roots-inspired pianist and singer is releasing his debut self-titled solo album, which features his wicked, soulful vocals over his unique blend of genres.
"I don't consider myself specifically roots or blues, but when you throw in a word like 'alternative' in front of that, it gives you some imagination as to what you can use those different genres for," said O'Donovan.
The tour kicks off at Divan Orange on Oct. 6 and features stops all the way to Vancouver.
Listen in the latest Link Live Session, filmed at old-timey jazz bar Gainzbar. Watch his performance of "Crumble," off his self-titled LP below.Declan O'Donovan / Oct. 6 / Divan Orange (4234 St. Laurent Blvd.) / 8:00 p.m. / $7.00
If you were at the Loyola Quad Friday night, then you probably wound up soaking wet from a torrential downpour. But before that, you also got a taste of one of the most interesting and fastest-moving bands out of Toronto right now: the dark, layered post-bop of BADBADNOTGOOD.
The trio dropped out of Humber College's prestigious jazz program, taking full advantage of the attention they were getting. Since then they have played around North America and Europe, including the role of backing band for Frank Ocean at Cochella. With a frenetic energy, BADBADNOTGOOD blow any notion of the stuffiness of jazz right out of the water.
Here are some highlights from their set at this year's Concordia Student Union Orientation Concert, along with some footage from our interview with the band.
Salton Sea
We brought the guys from Salton Sea to the railroad tracks in Outrement on a Sunday afternoon while they were visiting Montreal, mostly because we knew there would be less trains to dodge on the weekend.
The folk duo played their song "Sailin'," a little tune rich with vocal harmony, off their debut record slated for release Sept. 1. It sounds a bit like what you might hear on a good radio station in the '50s.
Keep up with the band on their Facebook page for info on the Montreal album release party, but for now enjoy their performance on The Link Live Sessions.
Produced by Corey Pool & Colin Harris
Aim Low
Aim Low find a home for their drone-heavy post rock in Montreal, combing heavily-effected guitars with atmospheric percussion. What better place to experience their brooding, meditative sound than in a church?
The latest Link Live Session captures the trio playing "Coptic Christmas" at the Loyola chapel, so sit back, relax and take in the intensity.
Aim Low / June 20 / Casa del Popolo (4873 St. Laurent Blvd.)
Young Lungs
Punk-inspired indie trio Young Lungs played an acoustic version of their song "Blood on the Streets" for us at the Mile End diner Nouveau Palais.
Their adrenaline-pumped 7" captures their full electric sound, recorded at the CJLO studios and mastered by Jon Drew, who has worked with the likes of Fucked Up and Tokyo Police Club.
Catch them at Divan Orange April 25 with Kids & Explosions.

Historic Background
Historic Background
Page Content
The issue of controlling air pollution form ships - in particular, noxious gases from ships' exhausts - was discussed in the lead up to the adoption of the 1973 MARPOL Convention. However, it was decided not to include regulations concerning air pollution at the time.
Meanwhile, air pollution was being discussed in other arenas. The 1972 United Nations Conference on the Human Environment in Stockholm marked the start of active international cooperation in combating acidification, or acid rain. Between 1972 and 1977, several studies confirmed the hypothesis that air pollutants could travel several thousand kilometres before deposition and damage occurred. This damage includes effects on crops and forests.
Most acid rain is caused by airborne deposits of sulphur dioxides and nitrogen oxides. Coal and oil-burning power plants are the biggest source of sulphur dioxides while nitrogen oxides come from car, truck - and ship - exhausts.
In 1979, a ministerial meeting on the protection of the environment, in Geneva, resulted in the signing of the Convention on Long‑range Transboundary Air Pollution by 34 governments and the European Community. This was the first international legally binding instrument to deal with problems of air pollution on a broad regional basis.
Protocols to this Convention were later signed on reducing sulphur emissions (1985); controlling emissions of nitrogen oxides (1988); controlling emissions of volatile organic compounds (1991) and further reducing sulphur emissions (1994).
During the 1980s, concern over air pollution, such as global warming and the depleting of the ozone layer, continued to grow, and in 1987 the Montreal Protocol on substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer was signed.
The Montreal Protocol is an international environmental treaty, drawn up under the auspices of the United Nations, under which nations agreed to cut consumption and production of ozone-depleting substances including chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) and halons in order to protect the ozone layer.
A Protocol was adopted in London in 1990 - amending the original protocol and setting the year 2000 as the target completion date for phasing out of halons and ozone-depleting CFCs. A second Protocol was adopted in Copenhagen in 1992, introducing accelerated phase-out dates for controlled substances, cutting short the use of transitional substances and the introduction of phase-out dates for HCFCs and methyl bromide(a pesticidal gas which depletes the ozone layer).
CFCs have been in widespread use since the 1950s as refrigerants, aerosol propellants, solvents, foam blowing agents and insulants. In shipping, CFCs are used to refrigerate ship and container cargo, insulate cargo holds and containers, air condition crew quarters and occupied areas and refrigerate domestic food storage compartments.
Halons, manufactured from CFCs, are effective fire extinguishers used in portable fire extinguishers and fixed fire prevention systems.

$125 Million Settlement in Authors Guild v. Google
A message from Roy Blount Jr.:
October 28, 2008. A couple months after I became Authors Guild president in 2006, we met with Google to propose a settlement to our class-action lawsuit. The Guild had sued Google in September 2005, after Google struck deals with major university libraries to scan and copy millions of books in their collections. Many of these were older books in the public domain, but millions of others were still under copyright protection. Nick Taylor, then the president of the Guild, saw Google's scanning as "a plain and brazen violation of copyright law." Google countered that its digitizing of these books represented a "fair use" of the material. Our position was: The hell you say. Of such disagreements, lawsuits are made.
Our proposal to Google back in May 2006 was simple: while we don't approve of your unauthorized scanning of our books and displaying snippets for profit, if you're willing to do something far more ambitious and useful, and you're willing to cut authors in for their fair share, then it would be our pleasure to work with you.
We're happy to report that our proposal found a receptive audience at Google and at Association of American Publishers and the several publishing houses that had filed a separate lawsuit in October 2005 against Google. Reaching final agreement turned out to be not so simple, but today, after nearly two and a half years of negotiations, we're joining with Google and the AAP and those publishers to announce the settlement of Authors Guild v. Google.
The settlement, which must be approved by a federal judge before it takes effect, includes money for now and the prospect of money for later. There'll be at least $45 million for authors and publishers whose in-copyright books and other copyrighted texts have been scanned without permission. If your book was scanned and you own all the rights, you'll get a small share of this, at least $60, depending on how many rightsholders file claims.
Far more interesting for most of us — and the ambitious part of our proposal — is the prospect for future revenues. Rightsholders will receive a share of revenues from institutional subscriptions to the collection of books made available through Google Book Search under the settlement, as well as from sales of online consumer access to the books. They will also be paid for printouts at public libraries, as well as for other uses.
The payments will flow through the Book Rights Registry, a new independent entity that can be thought of as the writers' equivalent of ASCAP. Much as ASCAP tracks the uses of songs and collects royalties for songwriters and musicians, the Registry will serve the interests of authors and others who own the rights to books appearing online as a result of this settlement. The Registry will be controlled by a board of authors and publishers; as part of the settlement, Google will pay $34.5 million to get the Registry up and running, notify rightsholders of the settlement, and process claims.
Readers are also big winners under the settlement of Authors Guild v. Google. Readers will be able to browse from their own computers an enormous collection of books. We hope this will encourage some readers to buy full online access to some of the books. Readers wanting to view books online in their entirety for free need only reacquaint themselves with their participating local public library: every public library building is entitled to a free, view-only license to the collection. College students working on term papers will be able to point their computers to resources other than Wikipedia, if they're so inclined: students at subscribing institutions will be able to read and print out any books in the collection.
We expect that millions of out-of-print books (and many in-print books) will be available through Google Book Search to readers, but we don't know how many, since that depends partly on you. Participating rightsholders can choose to pull their books from this service with reasonable notice at any time and will retain substantial control over Google's presentation and pricing of their books.
As with any class action, individual class members remain free to opt out of the settlement.
There are many, many more details, but I'll leave those to the official notice. There's also an official press release, edited to within an inch of its life and the settlement agreement itself. They're linked below; be my guest.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Fatcat!
Facts about Fatcat
- Breed: Domestic Shorthair
- Color: Black & White Or Tuxedo
- Age: Adult
- Sex: Male
- Hair: Short
Fatcat's Info...
I am already neutered, up to date with shots, good with kids, and good with cats.
Fatcat is an adult male tuxedo. He needs a new home. He's litterbox trained and good with gentle kids. He's neutered and vaccinated. Fatcat would make a nice companion kitty.
Other Pets at Feline Foundation of Utah
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Fatcat, a Washington Terrace Domestic Shorthair cat was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Domestic Shorthair for sale in Washington Terrace, or seeking a Domestic Shorthair cat from a breeder in Washington Terrace.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Washington Terrace already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Washington Terrace breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Domestic Shorthair breeders who help with Domestic Shorthair rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Washington Terrace paves the way for another one to be saved.

My opening night playoff predictions got off to a great start, as every team I picked to win their series lost in game one.
The only Canadian team in action were the Senators, a game I managed to sneak in most of. I wasn't crazy about a lot of things; it was sort of a sloppy, tentative game in a lot of ways, on the part of the skaters, the goalies, and the officials. The Penguins scored early in the third to make a game of it, Ottawa replied, and then the Pens scored late in the third to make a game of it again.
It was a game where the Pens stars outshone the Senators, but the Senators role-players made the difference, and Brian Elliott wasn't quite as weak in net as Marc-Andre Fleury.
Elsewhere, Brian Boucher made 23 saves as the Flyers slipped by the Devils 2-1, Colorado stunned San Jose by the same score, and Phoenix beat Detroit 3-2, making all four games tight ones, which is fitting given that this is the playoffs.
The most important thing for fans of the losing teams (San Jose, and um, San Jose) is that this is just one game, and these are all best of seven matchups. In other words, it's not time to panic (somewhere, Woody's saying "What are you talking about this is the perfect time to panic!").
I'll leave you with Steve Kouleas' take on the first night of action:
