In recent presentations, members of the Cooke family delivered oversized checks to the Chattanooga Affiliate of Susan G. Komen for the Cure in the amount of $18,000 and to the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga College of Business in the amount of $10,000 for college scholarships.
At UTC, the donation is being placed into the Becky C. Smith Scholarship Fund that is set up for a student athlete on the women's golf team who is seeking degrees in either accounting or business. The contribution to Susan G. Komen is to support the nonprofit organization's continuing work to end breast cancer, to assure quality care for those battling the disease and to support medical research in finding a cure.
On hand for the UTC presentation were Steve Angle, UTC chancellor; Dan Cooke, president of Cooke's Food, Fresh n' Low and CSC Investments dba. Panera Bread; Colette Murray, UTC Women's golf coach; David Blackburn, UTC vice chancellor and director of athletics; and several members of the Cooke family.
At the Susan G. Komen check presentation were Jim Phiropoulos, vice president of Operations for Cooke's Food and Fresh n' Low; Kyle Waters, Panera Bread; Karen Edmondson, Susan G. Komen executive director; Anita Stewart, Susan G. Komen mission director; [Dan] Cooke; and Tom Krings, vice president of operations for Panera Bread.
Founded in 2000, the Chattanooga affiliate of the Komen organization now serves 16 counties — 10 in Tennessee and six in Georgia. The group's mission has not changed since its inception. Its intent is "... to end breast cancer forever by empowering people, ensuring quality care for all and energizing science to find the cures."
"The Susan G. Komen Chattanooga affiliate continues to work for education, screening and treatment support for those diagnosed with breast cancer," according to agency literature. "Breast cancer has no respect for a person — it strikes regardless of religious views, political views, ethnic origin, age or gender."
The organization stresses that men, like women, also are afflicted with breast cancer.
A Cleveland resident for 54 years, Becky Smith graduated from Cleveland High School in 1970 and later graduated from UTC in 1974, receiving her CPA certificate in 1975. She was a partner in many local business ventures, including Cooke's Food Store and the local Panera Bread franchise.
She was an active member in the Cleveland and Bradley County community. She received the Chamber of Commerce's M.C. Headrick Free Enterprise award, as well as serving as a lifelong member of the First United Methodist Church.
The Cleveland businesswoman was diagnosed with breast cancer in November 2004 and began radiation and chemotherapy.
"[Becky's] strong will and independent spirit allowed her to continue to work daily until a stroke in January 2007 limited her vision," according to promotional literature used to market the annual golf tournament. "Her death surprised many because she held her battle very close. She was a very private person and did not wish to burden others with her struggles."
Smith was born Nov. 21, 1952. She died April 24, 2007.
This year's golf tournament sponsors included Don Ledford Automotive Center, Coca-Cola, BB&T, Pepsi, Athens Insurance, the Cleveland Daily Banner and Mix 104.1. The tournament was held at the Cleveland Country Club. It featured prizes for first, second and third place, as well as prizes for "Closest to the Hole" and "Longest Drive." It was held Sept. 30.
The 2014 golf tournament is scheduled for Monday, Sept. 29.

Hi, my name is Kaitlin and I'm a blog addict. Everyday my Google Reader feeds me fashion, craft, art, and design from over 100 blogs around the world. Below are some amazing vintage, thrift and DIY links I want to share with you. Have a great weekend!
Vintage Trendsetters

I decided to do another project from my Cool Couture Remake
Book that I introduced in a former post. The Flutter Sleeve was
one of my favourite DIYs so I was very excited to do this project.
Mine turned out a little differently (my "flutter" is smaller because I used a small sweatshirt) and even though it reminds me (a teensy bit) of a shoulder pads a football player would wear, I'm happy with the results. Check out my instructions and gallery to see how I re-purposed a casual and boring sweatshirt into a feminine, wearable (and sporty) piece.

The Find
I always label these posts as my "latest find" but with thrift shopping I feel these items always find me. You never know what you will discover while sifting through rack after rack of treasures in select sizes. Leather jackets are particularly difficult to find. Thrift stores tease me with the jacket aisle, after shoes I quickly run over hoping to find something spectacular, especially if the shoes let me down. To my surprise, (or not because I was in a smaller center) I found this leather jacket in the perfect size! After thinking over the uncommon colour ie. wearing it around the store, I decided to take it home with me to introduce it to my closet.
Thoughts? What do you think of the colour?
Categories: Blog
Fur necklace? Yes you heard correctly. I started this DIY knowing that I would either produce a huge mistake or something super cool. And while I don't know what you think about the result (though someone I showed referred to it as a "rat") I'm in love, in fact I'm wearing it today I'm so happy with it. Rat or not, here is how to turn a boring second-hand fur collar into something more wearable and exciting.

Vintage Shopping!
If you want to spend an entire day sifting through great vintage clothing at great prices, 69 Vintage Collective is the place to go. Gloria, blogger for Urbanebloc, and I stepped into this seemingly small shop to find that the vintage never ended! Along with the main floor and back room, 69 Vintage collective has three vintage boutiques upstairs! Lost & Found, Stacked, and Rozaneh are located in what were bedrooms full of great clothing, shoes, and friendly employees playing oldies on their laptops. Bring a friend, snacks and many reusable bags (you'll need them!).
69 Vintage Main Floor
Merchandised into categories, the sequin addict, fur fanatic, and fisherman sweater lover (this is a type of person right?) can find their section easily and well-stocked. The back room is Buy The Pound where 1lb of items costs $15. With the cute dresses, scarves and huge collection of shoes, you'll find yourself recruiting your strongest friends to help carry all your finds. January 21st is the official launch of 69 Vintage Collective so make sure to attend!

Done! Last Tuesday I had asked for your help in deciding which DIY to do and you picked the Tank-Dress! I really enjoyed this DIY from my Cool Couture Remake Book! It was easy and well thought through, especially when they turned in the sleeves to use as pockets! BRILLIANT! I made two of the dresses mostly because I could not decide which shirt to use! I hope you like it!
Categories: Blog, Do It Yourself
I went shopping today with Gloria, blogger from the super cool Urbanebloc.com, to the new location of 69 Vintage Collective/Buy The Pound. I was surprised to find that the vintage never ended! In the back room, up the stairs and through the kitchen, independent sellers set up their lovely shops in the spaces available causing a fashion adventure. Equipped with breadcrumbs, my new vintage pal and I traveled through the house spending over two hours looking through the amazing items and talking to the friendly and knowledgeable staff. We left with many goodies including these boots from independent "Stacked" who are located upstairs for the amazing price of $40 as well as a denim shirt from "Lost & Found" for $20. Visit if you love endless vintage and employees who make the shopping experience a lot of fun. Full store review and pictures to come Wednesday so check back!

Many companies use custom software to push information to datamarts on a batch cycle basis. To the extent that they use middleware for this purpose, it is generally an Extract-Transform-Load program for point-to-point interfacing. Informatica, Data Junction and Mercator are three such applications. In the case where real time transactions are required, they are coded as proprietary adapters, generally as Java beans or through COM. EAI tools in the near-real-time category include Nen (previously Neon) and Vitria.

Breakfast Topic: Why don't you RP? {WoW}
Jul 20th 2010 12:32PM I play on an RP realm, but I didn't join it because I wanted to RP. I joined because it was a low population realm, and because I hate PVP of any kind.
Now, if there was some sort of tangible reward for RP, I would actually try it. But since there isn't, I'd rather spend my limited gaming time doing something "productive", like collecting emblems, earning gold through my professions, getting personal achievements, etc.
I've also seen the quality of RP on my realm, and I was not impressed. When the players have such bad typos and grammatical errors, it's hard to take anything they say seriously. I mean, they sound like 2nd grade dropouts, to be frank. Kinda impossible to get in character that way, at least for me.
The Care and Feeding of Warriors: How we change in Cataclysm {WoW}
Jul 3rd 2010 11:01AM "The idea is that a tank should never be able to get so far ahead on threat that they can AFK for the rest of the fight."
The thing is that sometimes we have to let go of our resource-consuming moves in order to conserve our resources (rage or mana). If we keep on burning our resource to keep up our threat, we'll have nothing left for the next mob of enemies. Strategically, we watch Omen3 to see how far ahead on threat we got, and then estimate if the DPS will be able to kill the bad guys before they overtake us in aggro. How will we be able to generate aggro on the next bunch of enemies if we spent all of our resources trying to keep aggro on the last bunch?
Breakfast Topic: An earnest letter {WoW}

WoW Rookie: Guilds {WoW}
Jun 23rd 2010 12:04PM It ought to be noted that if a charter signer quits before the guild is registered, their signature is lost. If you are paying strangers to sign your charter, you might want to let them know that they will be paid after the guild is formed. Maybe mailed the gold. Otherwise they can just take your gold and run, and you'll still need that sig that they previously gave you.

Try this question during a job interview: "If I spend time at work doing personal career management activities on social sites using my mobile device, is that OK with management?" A not-yet-published Gartner study shows such mobile careering is more common than you may think. But maybe that's not such a bad thing.
The study of over 500 US based knowledge workers in September, 2010 found that a third used their personal devices during the prior 30 days to access social networking sites while at work. Quite often (70% of the time) this usage was for personal or personal career advancement purposes.
I'm sure the immediate reaction to these stats will range from anger to resignation to the fact they can't do anything about it (unless they want the workplace to feel like a Mississippi prison).
But I see another, valid point of view. I have written before (in A Different Take on the Argument In Favor of Social Software) about the potential for negative bias to the applicant pool of organizations that clamp down on social software. So while it may seem obvious that letting employees spend work time updating the job history on their profiles or chatting with potential employers, there are some devil's advocate questions I'd like to ask:
- As we've moved from the "company man" era to job-hopping being expected (indeed, it even looks bad to many potential employers if you've stayed at the same company for 15 years), is this just a natural next step? That employees now take an even more active role in nurturing their careers and employers benefit by getting rid of people that don't want to be there and having a better pool of applicants coming in?
- Are workers that actively manage their careers better workers on average and, if so, will attempts to restrict these activities lower the average quality of a company's job candidates (assuming you can't keep draconian policies hidden from applicants)?
- If you can't stop it is it better to concentrate on reaping the benefits?
If I were a CEO or HR policy maker, before a knee-jerk reaction I would:
1. Assess where your company is on the compliance scale relative to competition for talent (geographic area and industry). Decide how far you want to deviate from that mean for competitive or business protection reasons. For example, no matter how sensible a policy of not allowing social software at work (or career management), if you're the only company in town and among your top competition doing it there's a higher risk of losing good candidates. But if everyone is doing it, that may be fine.
2. If you haven't already, begin tracking where new employees are coming from and the degree to which social media played into it. If you see that number is high or increasing, you may not want to look down on the same technology that is getting you candidates in the first place.
3. Consider SNA – social network analytics. Begin to correlate employee performance with SNA centricity to guide policies that may rein in networking. You may find heavily networked employees should be encouraged, rather than facing an inscription on the entrance to the HR department that reads "Abandon hope (and smartphones) all ye who enter here"

Former Ellicott City Man Convicted in $17 Million Online Ponzi Scheme
Used Fraud Proceeds to Purchase Numerous Luxury Vehicles
Baltimore, Maryland - A federal jury convicted Byron Keith Brown, age 32, of Vienna, Virginia, formerly of Ellicott City, Maryland, today on wire fraud and money laundering charges related to a five year scheme to fraudulently obtain over $17 million from online investors.
The conviction was announced by United States Attorney for the District of Maryland Rod J. Rosenstein and Special Agent in Charge Rebecca Sparkman of the Internal Revenue Service - Criminal Investigation, Washington, D.C. Field Office
"Byron Brown used the internet to make it appear as if he were running an investment management business for wealthy investors, when in fact he was stealing millions of dollars from investors and using it to buy a fleet of luxury cars," said U.S. Attorney Rod J. Rosenstein. "In addition to sentencing criminals to prison, our goal is to seize any assets purchased with criminal proceeds."
"This case shows that the appearance of success can be a mask for a tangled financial web of lies," stated Rebecca Sparkman, Internal Revenue Service-Criminal Investigation Special Agent in Charge, Washington DC Field Office. "Ponzi schemes can thrive for a time on false claims about how the money is being invested and where the returns are coming from; but that time is gone and as this verdict shows it is time for those responsible to face judgment."
According to testimony at his three week trial, Brown was the chief executive officer for companies called In God We Trust (IGT) Financial Services, IGT Investment Company, IGT Wealth Management Group, and WM Private Equity Fund, Inc. Brown was not licensed as a broker, dealer or investment advisor in Maryland, Virginia or the District of Columbia.
The evidence presented at trial showed that from 2003 to 2009, Brown operated websites in which he falsely: held himself out as having 10 years experience in financial services and securities industries when in fact he had filed personal bankruptcy in 1999; and claimed to have offices in Washington, D.C., Wilmington, Delaware, New York, NY, and London, England, when in fact he had rented a mailbox or services at a virtual office that provided telephone answering services and mail forwarding services to clients. Brown advertised on his websites that the basic investment required was a minimum of $1 million. He used computer software to create an illusion that the investor was logging into a banking website and viewing account information when in fact, the account numbers were made up. Brown found investors through his websites and referrals.
Witnesses testified that Brown opened some bank accounts in the names of investors, but Brown retained a power of attorney over the accounts, managed all the money that was invested, controlled investment decisions and deprived investors of information about their accounts. According to the trial evidence, Brown sometimes used funds from new investors to make payments to old investors and to conceal his diversion of investors' monies.
Brown used the investors' money to purchase a 2004 Bentley, a 2005 Rolls Royce Phantom, a 1936 Auburn Speedster, a 2007 BMW, a 1997 Jaguar and a 2006 Aston Martin. To date, the government has seized 16 vehicles, including some of the vehicles described above, as well as a 2007 Lamborghini, a 2008 Maserati, two Mercedes and a 2002 Ferrari.
Brown faces a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison and a $250,000 fine for each of the five counts of wire fraud; and 10 years in prison and a fine of twice the amount laundered for each of the five counts of money laundering. U.S. District Judge William M. Nickerson has scheduled sentencing for November 19, 2010 at 10:00 a.m.
United States Attorney Rod J. Rosenstein commended Assistant United States Attorneys Joyce K. McDonald and Martin J. Clarke, who are prosecuting the case.

Payment-option ARMs looming threat to U.S. homeowners, officials warn
OLYMPIA – Washington Attorney General Rob McKenna fears a rise in scam victims as struggling homeowners trying to tap legitimate payment relief programs are simultaneously solicited by charlatans. He said a meeting this morning between Obama administration officials and state attorneys general on mortgage fraud is further evidence that cross-agency cooperation is vital to protect homeowners.
"Consumer education is the new burglar alarm and state-federal cooperative enforcement is the deadbolt that will protect homeowners from today's crooks – fraudsters who claim to offer mortgage relief," McKenna said.
McKenna, co-chair of a new State-Federal Task Force on Mortgage Enforcement, participated by phone in a roundtable discussion today organized by U.S. Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner. Also at the brainstorming table were Attorney General Eric Holder, Housing and Urban Development Secretary Shaun Donovan, Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Chairman Jon Leibowitz, Financial Crimes Enforcement Network Director Jim Freis and attorneys general from 11 other states. They shared concerns about fraudulent business practices and a commitment to bolster coordination.
Attorneys general said they were encouraged to see an unprecedented number of agency heads willing to merge forces and devote their attention to addressing the states' concerns.
McKenna said he was particularly troubled by Holder's observation that we're about to see a new wave of residential foreclosures as payment-option ARM loans reset and homeowners are unable to refinance.
But he found comfort in federal officials' initiative to encourage lenders to reduce monthly payments for homeowners, as well as the FTC's consideration of new advertising rules and a potential ban on upfront payments to companies that promote help for troubled borrowers. Authorities emphasized that free help is available from government-approved housing counselors. Homeowners can locate free housing counselors at www.makinghomeaffordable.gov or by calling 1-888-995-HOPE. Washington state residents can contact www.homeownership.wa.gov or 1-877-894-HOME.
Also today, the Federal Bureau of Investigation announced that its mortgage fraud investigations have jumped by 63 percent in the past year. The FBI has more than 2,600 cases open; most involve losses of more than $1 million.
The Washington Attorney General's Office has filed nine foreclosure-assistance actions since 2007. Additional investigations are underway.LINKS:

Leaf A et al. – Early introduction of enteral feeds in growth–restricted preterm infants results in earlier achievement of full enteral feeding and does not appear to increase the risk of necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC).
Methods- Infants with gestation below 35 weeks, birth weight below the 10th centile, and abnormal antenatal umbilical artery Doppler waveforms were randomly allocated to commence enteral feeds "early," on day 2 after birth, or "late," on day 6.
- Gradual increase in feeds was guided by a "feeding prescription" with rate of increase the same for both groups.
- Primary outcomes were time to achieve full enteral feeding sustained for 72 hours and NEC.
- Four hundred four infants were randomly assigned from 54 hospitals in the United Kingdom and Ireland (202 to each group).
- Median gestation was 31 weeks. Full, sustained, enteral feeding was achieved at an earlier age in the early group: median age was 18 days compared with 21 days (hazard ratio: 1.36 [95% confidence interval: 1.11–1.67]).
- There was no evidence of a difference in the incidence of NEC: 18% in the early group and 15% in the late group (relative risk: 1.2 [95% confidence interval: 0.77–1.87]). Early feeding resulted in shorter duration of parenteral nutrition and high-dependency care, lower incidence of cholestatic jaundice, and improved SD score for weight at discharge.

Hi everyone, I am cross-posting this message I put on the Smaller Homes forum.
I have a closet problem with which some of you may be able to help. My master closet is a reach-in (not a walk-in), and it is a generous 11 linear feet wide. This would be fabulous, except that I can only access a maximum of 34" at any given time due to the way it is configured. I didn't have any luck posting pics from flickr, but basically to the right and to the left of the sliding doors is an additional 29" of space on each side that I really can't access without partially climbing into the closet and stretching out in the dark to dig something out. I would like to maximize my storage space within the opening, but I can';t figure out how to install any kind of organizers without blocking off that 29". I can take the doors off and go with curtains like I did in my kids rooms, and that would give me a nice 6' wide opening in the middle. But I still can't figure out how to access the 29" blind spots on either side. |
Here is a link that might be useful: closet with blind corners
Follow-Up Postings:
You could install a ClosetMaid Shelf Track system. It would allow you the most flexibility in arranging your clothing. You could decide how far into the closet you can reach, then only put the rod - or preferably the two rods - as far as you can reach. At the two deepest points, you could have shelves. They would not be easily accessible, but if you don't overcrowd the rods, you could slide the clothing momentarily to the opposite side of the closet. You could switch the sliding doors out for full access bifold door hardware from Johnson Hardware. |
oooh, thank you for that Johnson Hardware link. There are so many options! Have you ever done a shelf-track installation? Is it reasonably easy? We have bizarre stud placement (17", then 23", then 15", then 6"), so any project involving screwing things into the wall is "extra fun". :) |
I have done three installations in this house by myself - and I'm a tiny 61 year old woman. You don't need to hit the studs to hang this system. In one closet, I never hit a stud. If you decide to go this route, I can post some tips based on my experience. |
thanks for posting this on the other forum, and thanks on this forum, too! ;) |

Geokid, that's brilliant! |
I agree with Geokid. I design and build custom closet organizers for a living and the layout you've described is one of the most challenging. The only way to utilize the space is to either put 24" deep shelves in both corners facing toward the center of the closet or to add a hanging bar going across with the clothes facing toward the center of the closet. Yes, it will be awkward to access these spaces but not as awkward as if you build everything across the long wall all the way into the corners. Use these two end walls to store items that you don't access very often like suitcases, Christmas boxes, gowns, etc. Best of luck! |

If you are interested in growing lilies from seed, you should visit the North American Lily Society's website at: www.lilies.org They have a great seed exchange that allows online ordering. If you are not a member, you can join at the same time you order seeds. David |
Follow-Up Postings:
Hi All, David made a good suggestion. I have a bunch of seed that have already germinated that I got from the NALS seed exchange this year. If you don't mind taking your chances on seed being sold out In the past they have opened it up to non-members after they've given their members first chance at them for a while. Some easy species lilies (Div. 9) to grow from seed (immediate epigeal) that are currently available are the trumpets, L. Leucanthum and L. Regale. They both can produce some flowers the very next year after germination. L. Candidum (Madonna Lily) is also available which is a beautiful lily that can be a tricky bulb to establish (and is $$$). Yet it grows easily from seed and flowers a couple years after that. (Read up on its cultural requirements before planting out.) I have some I grew from seed that flowered last year. The bulbs I bought BEFORE I started my seed still have yet to do much (and they cost a lot more than $1.50 per 25!). Candidum can also be a virus carrier (since it is resistant), a risk you avoid growing from seed. The Martagon v. Album on the seed exhange is delayed hypogeal (which takes more patience) and then takes a number of year to bloom (more patience still). But like the Candidum it can be $$$ and doesn't care for transplanting much. The seed I bought this year had a really great germination rate (close to 100%). After I keep them warm for a few months so they can form a little bulblet it's into the fridge for a few more months. They should get their first leaf after that ("crossed fingers!"). I germinated my seed with a very simple method that satisfied my need to "poke around" to see if anything's happening. I took a paper towel that I folded over so it would lay flat in a ziplock baggie, dampened it with water, sprinkled seed over it, sealed it up, and put it over my fridge. That way I could look to see when they germinated (at which point I fished them out and planted them). This is helpful since some lily seed is much slower than others - and you can check to see if the ungerminated seed is still plump and healthy without disturbing them. If anyone decides to try it, Good Luck! -Helen |

Accession of the Least Developed Countries to the WIPO Convention and Conventions Administered by WIPO
Intellectual property involves economics, law, international relations, culture, health, human rights, politics, and ethics. In the past, the focus of attention of intellectual property has been the patent system established to protect, in an exclusive manner, inventions related to a product or process in a particular field of technology, and copyright traditionally related to the world of arts and ideas that were not the focus of major studies or controversy.
Intellectual property will no longer be perceived as a distinct or self-contained domain, but rather as an important and effective policy instrument that would be relevant in a wide range of issues in social and economic development. In the era of the knowledge-based economy and knowledge-based society, many LDC see accession to the WIPO Convention and conventions administered by WIPO as a key element in the pursuit of national development objectives. WIPO's LDCs Program aims to assist them in achieving that goal.
The graph above shows the LDCs membership of the WIPO Convention and Conventions administered by WIPO. Out of the fifty LDCs fourty five have acceded to the WIPO Convention. Further disaggregation of the regional membership shows that thirty five of the fourty five are from Africa accounting for seventy eight per cent of the LDCs acceded to the WIPO Convention. Only nine LDCs from the Asian and Pacific region, accounting for twenty per cent of the LDCs have acceded to the WIPO Convention. Five LDCs accounting for ten per cent of the total number of LDCs are not yet members of WIPO (all five of them are from Asia and the Pacific region).
Twenty nine of the 50 LDCs have acceded to the Berne Convention, and thirty five of them to the Paris Convention. While five Asian LDCs have acceded to the Paris Convention, only Bangladesh, Bhutan and Nepal have acceded to the Berne Convention. On the other hand twenty nine African LDCs have acceded to the Paris Convention and twenty five of them to the Berne Convention. While there are twenty four LDCs that are parties to the Patent Cooperation Treaty, all of them are from Africa. None of the Asia and Pacific LDCs or Latin American and Caribbean LDC are members of the PCT. Haiti being the only LDC in Latin America and the Caribbean has acceded to the Paris and Berne Conventions. Six of the LDCs, five from Africa and one from Asia and the Pacific, have acceded to the Madrid System on Trademarks.
The Program for LDCs broadens the Organisation's approach to assist LDCs by interacting with new partners such as policy makers and government officials of various ministries, non-governmental organisations and the civil society to establish and modernise intellectual property systems, consistent with national objectives and requirements. It coordinates efforts to overcome the developmental problems faced by LDCs in close cooperation with United Nations organisations and organs and regional intellectual property organisations.
Promoting and strengthening the intellectual property system could not be achieved by focusing only on the development of norms and rules and establishing enforcement mechanisms. Certain non-legal factors impeding acceptance of intellectual property systems in the socio-economic development of the LDCs need to be addressed systematically by WIPO if the LDCs are to benefit. The program takes into account this concern of LDCs by focusing on the use of patent information for growth and development, technology licensing, use of information and communication technologies for office automation, and focusing on human resources development.
The lack of adequate information about intellectual property systems in the LDCs has led many people to the conclusion that intellectual property is a vehicle for protecting foreign interests. The systematic spread of information through the traditional and modern means of communication on the qualitative and quantitative aspects of the theory and practice of the various disciplines of intellectual property will help to rectify such thinking.
Since the establishment of the LDCs Program in WIPO, work has started to demonstrate the usefulness of intellectual property systems to ministers, parliamentarians and journalists in the LDCs. The Program aims to show the link between the intellectual property system, investment, research for development, and transfer of technology in order to encourage institution building and modernisation of the intellectual property systems of the LDCs.

I have a kitchen order for white, beaded inset shaker Shiloh Cabinets. The way I placed the order, the exposed sides of the 24" deep island were to be plan. Now I am adding fake cabinet panels. Since my cabinet fronts are inset, will this look funny? Shouldn't there be a way to have these almost built into the side of the cabinet? |
Follow-Up Postings:
- Posted by mykitchensdone (My Page) on Tue, May 14, 13 at 12:58
Atc, I had Shiloh inset cabs installed in my kitchen (plain, no beading) and you can see the end panels that we went with. I believe they are to mimic the doors rather than the slab front drawers we used. Hope the pic gives you a visual idea of what you are asking. Helene |
Are the sides a panel screwed into the cabinet, or part of the cabinet itself? My supplier has separate panels coming to me a few weeks later. |
They have two types of cabinet ends. Decorative Doors On Cabinet Ends and Integral Panel On Cabinet Ends . mykitchensdone has the integral panel which is what you want. |
I'm a Shiloh dealer: Ask your KD for this: Inset Non-functional False Doors for a base cabinet, the code is: INFBDEP (right or left) HTH KELLY |
Ok, I just left a message with them. So by ordering non functional false doors, they will be built into me cabinet side? What about the backs of the 24" deep cabinets, as they will also be one of the exposed sides of the island? How do |
I'm a fairly new dealer with Shiloh. I don't believe they have modification of changing the "back" of a cabinet to have a non-functioning false door. Usually on island backs you must order a separate wainscotting panel. I'll post a pic of a kitchen I did that had an island with a wainscotting panel. Kompy |
That island is just what I have in mind, and ordered. Here are my final questions: 1) Does that baseboard go on the front? 2) Do the rear panels extend over the side panels, or are the side panels what stick out the most? |
atc, I still have her file on my desk. Here's what was ordered for her island. Door: Montgomery Beaded Inset Wood: Maple Finish: Black Paint Other: Distressing, wearing and sand-thru Guides: Blumotion Full Extension Drawer Box: Plywood B18R-RT-INFBDEPR The baseboard does not wrap around the front, but it can. The back panel is flush with the cabinet ends. BBMNTG stands for BAR BACK Montgomery doorstyle KOMPY |
Ok, now I understand. My island is composed of a 24" trash, 27" sinkbase, and 24" gap for a dishwasher, with an end panel. I plan on having the wainscoting on the rear, so should I also order plywood to install first? Do I need the edge trim? |
looking for a shiloh dealer to work with, i am in new york city area (queens) anyone? i contact shiloh through their website no response yet. |

MACOMB – State Senator John Sullivan (D-Rushville) joined Governor Pat Quinn, state lawmakers and local officials Friday to announce $35 million of investment to complete the first section of the Macomb Bypass.
The money will fund continued construction and paving of a two-lane, six-mile stretch of highway linking U.S. 67 and Illinois 336/110.
The new highway will be the final link in the 584-mile Chicago-Kansas City Expressway that will bring more commerce and interstate business into western Illinois.
"I'm very pleased to see another piece of the Chicago to Kansas City expressway investment become reality. When completed, this 50 year project will connect western Illinois to the rest of the country, and this $35 million investment will improve our transportation infrastructure, create construction jobs and invigorate our area's economy," Sullivan said.
The $35 million will also finance the construction of additional bridges and overpasses along the corridor. The bypass will serve as a two-lane highway until the southbound lanes of the expressway are built.
Friday's announcement is the result of years of work by state and local governments, area businesses and non-profit organizations, specifically through the work of the Tri-State Development Summit, which brings together stakeholders from Iowa, Missouri and Illinois.

The formation of new companies accounts for nearly all net new job creation, but state non-compete agreements — if strictly enforced — can make it harder for people to start those companies. According to Re-thinking Non-Competes: Unlock Talent to Seed Growth, a new Entrepreneurship Policy Digest released by the Kauffman Foundation, state enforcement of non-compete agreements is restricting highly skilled workers from moving in and out of new jobs and/or from starting their own businesses, thus hindering job creation and economic growth.
The digest highlights the impacts of non-competes on individuals, firms and the economy. It also offers adjustments to current laws to improve mobility, including:

Mike Gapes Member of Parliament for Ilford SouthA local man with a national voice
If you would like to keep up-to-date with news from the Labour Party please subscribe to our news service.
The Ilford South constituency covers most of Ilford and the whole of Redbridge south of the A12, Eastern Avenue.
The London Borough of Redbridge is the white area on the map of London. Ilford South - as its name suggests - covers the southern half of the borough. The rest of Redbridge is in the Ilford North constituency and parts of the Leyton and Wanstead and Chingford and Woodford Green constituencies.
The Ilford South constituency has a long history as a marginal seat and has usually voted for the Government. It had a Labour MP, Jim Ranger, from 1945 to 1950, a Conservative MP (Albert Cooper) from 1950 to 1966 and 1970 to February 1974. Labour's Arnold Shaw was the MP from 1966 to 1970 and from February 1974 to 1979. The Conservative Neil Thorne was the MP from 1979 to 1992. In the General Election in April that year Mike Gapes was elected with a 402 majority - the result of one of the best swings (5.9%) to Labour nationally. Mike was the first Labour MP to represent Ilford South under a Tory government.
In the 1997 election,despite adverse boundary changes, this slender majority was boosted to 14,200, when Mike Gapes received a further swing of 16.6% from the Conservatives. The full results of the 1997 election were:
The result of the 2001 General Election was a further 2.6% swing to Labour from the Conservatives and a majority of 13,997 on a reduced turn-out. The full results were:
The 2005 election saw a reduction in Mike's majority to just under 50% of those voting. The full results were:
The 2010 election saw an increase in Labour share of the vote in the parliamentary elections and the gain of 14 council seats to give Labour 26 councillors. The parliamentary election results were:
The turnout was 58.3% with the total electorate being 87765.
Ilford South is a very diverse community. Most of the housing in the constituency is owner-occupied (less than 10% of housing in Redbridge is social-housing). Large areas consist of late-nineteenth and early-twentieth century terraced housing, especially in the south of the borough. Some areas, such as the Bungalow Estate (Mayfield Ward) have their own unique character.
Many residents commute to work in Central London and a only a small percentage of the population at work are classified as 'manual workers'. The council is one of the major local employers. The Town Hall and most administrative offices are located in the centre of Ilford South.
The constituency is also home to The Mall shopping centre, Ilford Police station and King George Hospital.
Ilford South is a diverse and harmonious. It is estimated that up to 100 mother tongue languages are spoken by children in local schools.
Ilford South includes the following council wards:

Sometimes I wonder whether The Grail Code would have done better over there in the self-help section. Business sure looks lively over there. It looks as though people are willing to pay any price to have someone tell them why they feel so lousy.
Well, we could have told them that. In fact we did.
This self-help stuff is an industry worth millions upon millions of dollars. "Why am I miserable?" everyone seems to be asking. Thousands of books try to answer that question. You're miserable because you let people walk all over you; you're miserable because you're not getting enough antioxidants; you're miserable because you haven't mastered the four easy steps to self-fulfillment; you're miserable because your clothes are all wrong for your body type.
And here we sit, at the other end of the bookstore, with the real answer: you're miserable because you're a sinner.
Think of Lancelot in the Walter Map romances, or in Sir Thomas Malory's versions of them. Why was he miserable? He had all the wealth he could possibly imagine; he won every battle he ever fought; he was more widely admired than any other man in the kingdom, not excluding Arthur himself; and he had the love of the most beautiful woman in Britain.
How could he possibly be miserable?
The answer is easy: he was miserable because he was a sinner. His sin kept him from the one thing that could really bring him contentment, which was an encounter with the Holy Grail. As long as he was a slave to sin, he was excluded from the kingdom of God.
Like any good self-help book, ours gives you the cure as well as the diagnosis. There is a way out. Confess and repent: acknowledge your sin and turn away from it.
Isn't that easy?
Well, no—actually, it's the hardest battle you'll ever fight. Just ask Lancelot.
But the principle is easy to understand. You don't need seven easy steps or five sure-fire techniques or the top ten secrets only the pros know. All you need is confession and real repentance, and the grace of God takes care of the rest.
That's the answer all those people over there in the self-help section are looking for. Do you think they can hear us at this distance? Hey! Over here! This is what you're looking for!
No, they're not listening.

Take a look at your coneflower cones next time you are out in the garden. If you see cones which have a blackened centre as one of mine you can see below, (the front and centre 'powwow' white flower) then very likely your echinacea have the "sunflower larvae" burrowed in the flower. To verify simply break open the flower and look inside. You may well see a small green worm (larva). And now I notice this year this same pest is destroying flowers of similar plants., For example I see my stands of "Tuscan Sun" Heliopsis has the problem also: Disappointing. |

Between this, aster yellows and the the echinacea mite, it's a wonder to have any decent looking coneflowes. |
What is worrisome is that this pest seems to affect many of the Asteraceae family. For me personally I will have so much less colour this August if the spread continues. |

Ugh. I have these too, both plant types. I thought the heliopsis might be some other insect as it looks a bit different, but now I am pretty sure it is the same as you describe. Let me guess, helenium is in the same family? |
Indeed it is. |
This worm is rampant in my heliopsis "Tuscan Sun" as most of the flowers have some dark rotted spot in the "cone". I split one in half just now and here is the worm in question. So many plants in this family are at great risk. This isnt good. |

Looks like I've got these too. Ugh! TotallyConfused |
Just found them today. Thanks for the heads up Rouge. Bummer........ |
I probably have this caterpillar too. I have been thinking the damage was caused by mites, earwigs, and/or beetles since the coneflowers are looking pretty ratty this year. |
This pest is so rampant in my 4 "Tuscan Sun" Heliopsis. This plant is the most incredible bloom machine but in each of the two years I have had these 4 specimens they have been 'home' to both a major infestation of aphids and this sunflower moth larvae. I am assuming that any effective insecticide for these larvae will harm those very important beneficial pollinating insects i.e. bees and so regretfully I will consider a replacement border plant this winter (I am counting on you guys and girls for your advice). |
- Posted by RyseRyse_2004 5 (My Page) on Sun, Aug 4, 13 at 8:43
What about BT? It is effective with lots of types of caterpillars and won't hurt the beneficial insects. Worth a try? |
In fact I have a bottle of BTK on hand. Doing some on-line looking it does appear it is...."safe" for many insects. I may give it a try on one of the affected plants as an experiment. |

Reven recently announced the team has reached its Kickstarter funding goal, bringing some more awesome 2D platformer goodness to the Linux platform. Varia games also plans on bringing the title to OS X, as well as the Wii U. Monthly updates are planned to be broadcast on the popular gaming video platform, Twitch.tv. A public demo and eta keys should show up in the next few months.
Reven is a Metroid-like 2D platformer set on the planet XR-Kere in the 28th century. The mysterious Nexum Station has vanished, and you head to the planet to investigate. The game shares a lot with the classic, Super Metroid and other classic platforms such as Castlevania. In fact, I'd hazard a guess, maybe a bit too much. The visuals are quite nice for the title, allowing players to dive into the deepest regions of space. Also, the music is quite good, composed by Mark McLenmore, and adds good value to the title. The game features upgradable suites, called "gears" that help you tackle various situations and levels in the game.
In an interview with cubed3, Johm, one of the main developers, offered his insight into the game and it's roots. Recently having purchased Super Metroid from the Wii U store, it hit the team to send Reven in the direction of an open world exploration game. With just Austin and John designing and developing the game, use of the Contstruct 2 engine was definitely a help. Austin notes the art direction for the game inspired the drawing for the title as well. Talks to bring the game into the 3D realm using the Cry Engine were shown as a possibility.
Overcoming the hurdles common for many independent shops was no easy task. Financial hardship drove one member of a team to sell their car, and move into another house full of 7 kids. That's rough, and most certainly shows the dedication and perseverance many indie developers show for their craft. Help is in no short supply, as John noted in his interview with cubed3, telling us that issues have "yet to be a problem we couldn't solved ourselves or with the help of other indie developers out there in the industry."
If the Kickstarter trailer is anything to go from, one can expect a fantastic adventure, even if it borrows heavily from past inspirational titles. Criticism of the title's close adherence to the 2D Metroid title is bound to show up, but I'll reserve my own comments until the game beta shows up so I can confirm for myself. If anything, being able to play a "new" Metroid like game is a plus in my book. I'm sure Varia Games has several tricks up their sleeve for making it a unique experience.
For more details, be sure to hit up the finished kickstarter project page.

I already have the Ball Complete, Small Batch, and Linda Z's "Joy of..." books. Borders book store next town over is closing, have 25% off list right now (I know, not much) but they're running low on stock.
I saw 2010 edition "Putting Food By" in paperback marked $17 (less 25%), and this is OT but KA Flour Baking Commemorative(looseleaf, still in shrink wrap) marked $35 (so $26.25 + 6% tax). Dorrie Greenspan's French Table would be $30 (plus tax). Are any of these worth the price, should I wait and see if they go lower, or should I pass (I don't cook French with a picky 7-yr old, and I don't have much shelf space for cookbooks). KAF may be worth it since it's $34.95 on the website, but I didn't want to open the plastic to browse. Any others I should look for? (I did also see McGee "On Food and Cooking" marked $40 but I have a 40% off coupon not good at this store, I can order it online or maybe find it for less than $24 at Amazon. I also still have that Blue Chair Jam cookbook to return/exchange somewhere.) |
Follow-Up Postings:
Putting Food By is a good one. It was a standard for canners for several years. I'm glad they finally got around to updating it. Had the new edition on my wish list for birthday but may check out the Borders price. Thanks for posting about it. Dave Skip that! Amazon is only $10 - much cheaper |
Dave - that's only in the stores that are closing. If it's a good one, I may just pay $12.75 for it since I'm sure I'd pay more for shipping with Amazon (unless I ordered other books too to get the free shipping). |
- Posted by readinglady z8 OR (My Page) on Fri, Mar 4, 11 at 19:26
I would pass on the King Arthur Flour Commemorative Edition. That's a reprint of their original 200th Anniversary Cookbook from 1992. I think KAF added 12 pages (some pictures and what-not) to the commemorative edition, but since the original edition is available used for under $7.00 (+3.99 or so shipping) I just can't see paying that premium for essentially the same book. I would go for Putting Food By if you have no plans to buy additional items somewhere like Amazon. Dorie Greenspan is wonderful and her Baking book is one of the best out there (though the recipes can be very rich). Around my French Table is similarly excellent, but if it doesn't suit your cooking style, I'd skip it. Why spend the money, unless you like cookbooks for bedtime reading. She is enjoyable. If you spot a copy of One Big Table by Molly O'Neill or In the Kitchen with a Good Appetite by Melissa Clark, you might take a look. I think you might find those more appealing. Carol |
Yes, actually, they did have One Big Table but I didn't look at it. |
- Posted by john__showme__usa 5/6 (My Page) on Sat, Mar 5, 11 at 8:14
"The Joy of Cooking" Mine is the '97 edition. "The Cook's Bible" Mine is '96 edition and has a different cover. |
The new edition of Putting Food By has lots of stuff not in the earlier eds, especially more on drying. And the ladies write so well, often cutting to the chase in wry ways... |
- Posted by chilemilio 10 (My Page) on Mon, Mar 14, 11 at 13:14
Don't know if you've already decided, but i just saw this thread. The Dorrie Greenspan book is pretty good. My girlfriend got this, and we've been very happy with it. that being said, I can understand our hesitance for 7 yr olds, even by just looking at the ingredients flipping through the book. If you are considering the French Table book, I'd suggest Thomas Keller's Ad Hoc book... you kids will love the meatballs |
I went back but Putting Food By was gone, and I think French Table was too (though I didn't really look for that). I did end up getting an older copy of Harold McGee's On Food and Cooking for 50 cents at Goodwill though! |

436 Burton to Johnston
Memorandum CANBERRA, 26 November 1947
I desire to acknowledge receipt of your memorandum 38/104/92 of 19th November, 1947 [1], on the subject of a request from the Republican Government of Indonesia for landing rights in Australia.
2. The attitude of the Australian Government towards the Republican Government of Indonesia cannot be finally determined until a settlement has been reached in the current dispute between the Netherlands and the Republican Government. As you are aware, the situation in Indonesia was brought before the United Nations Security Council, which has set up a Committee of Good Offices (with Australia as one of its three members) to investigate all aspects of the dispute and to assist both parties in reaching a satisfactory settlement. The Committee's investigations are still proceeding. In the meantime the Australian Government, while having in practice accorded de facto recognition to the Republican Government [2], is not in a position to contemplate the granting of de jure recognition.
3. Having regard to these factors, it would scarcely be appropriate for the Australian Government to enter into formal negotiations with the Republican Government for the purpose of concluding, for example, a bilateral agreement for reciprocal air transport services. For the same reasons it is felt that it would be premature of the Australian Government at this stage to take any active steps to sponsor the Republican Government's endeavour to secure membership of the International Civil Aviation Organization.
4. Whilst we have told Republican representatives informally that we do not think it would serve any useful purpose to sponsor their request for membership of I.C.A.0. at the present time, we would like to help them overcome any urgent communications difficulties which may be hampering them administratively. It is for this reason that we think that, without going to the length of negotiating a bilateral agreement at this time, the Australian Government might be prepared to grant on application landing rights in Australia for individual Indonesian aircraft.

Collected Comics Library Podcast #318

The past few weeks I've been savoring DC's new offering of the Steve Ditko Omnibus Volume 1. This book features two short lived series Shade, The Changing Man (8 issues) and Stalker (4 issues). Both series are visually stunning and the stories are compelling and left me wanting more, sadly that didn't happen from Ditko, although Shade did come back in a few different incarnations including his own Vertigo series. Look for more Shade in Justice League Dark. Stalker, on the other hand, would fit well in Demon Knights, if DC ever decides to bring him back (which they have done on more then one occasion). But more importantly, I give a complete rundown of all the other contents in this massive book, and there is a lot to go over including revealing the other artists and writers that created a whole host of comics that have never been reprinted until now.
I also go over my initial reaction to the first 2 weeks of DC Comics New 52. In short, I'm impressed with many titles, but some left me saying, "Thanks for the #1, but no thanks to #2″. Find out what made my cut!
Lastly, I go over the upcoming 2011 Detroit Fanfare and the Comics Podcasting Panel which is this weekend! Yes, the panel will be recorded and uploaded when it is ready next week:

Anthony Bourdain: No Reservations ends its nine-year run in a few weeks. Which means that soon, you'll need to go eat weird stuff yourself.
The good news is, you don't need a passport. Here are the top exotic foods from around the city that will make your burger too boring to settle for. (Thankfully, there's no roasted pig anus.)
Alligator Meatballs at Trina's Starlite Lounge
You've worn the belts and the shoes — all that's left now is to eat the damn alligator. Try it in the Southern wedding soup (with collard greens, ditalini pasta and endive), a brand-new addition to the menu at Trina's.
3 Beacon St., Inman Square (617-576-0006). $8.
Geoduck at New Jumbo Seafood
Don't be fooled by the name. Geoduck doesn't quack, it's a large, thick clam that's a prized Asian delicacy. New Jumbo Seafood serves it Cantonese style: raw, shaved into large strips and strangely delicious enough to make Bizarre Foods host Andrew Zimmerman's list of must-try Boston eats.
5 Hudson St., Chinatown (617-542-2823). Market price.
Grasshopper at Tu Y Yo
Definitely the tastiest thing that also lives on your lawn. Known as chapulines, these insects are served in six deep-fried tacos as a salty, crunchy street food favorite straight from the Oaxaca region.
858 Broadway, Somerville (617-623-5411). $13.50.
Liver and Tongue at Rubin's
Depending on how you grew up, the chopped chicken liver and tongue at this Brookline kosher deli may or may not be an exotic taste. Sure, both are packed with enough fat and cholesterol to make your doctor and personal trainer cry, but served on a slice of marble rye, they're just too good to pass over.
500 Harvard St., Brookline (617-731-8787). $10-13.
Chicken Hearts at Midwest Grill
Just when you think you know chicken, you discover this. Wood-grilled to perfection, these bite-sized organs look like miniature chicken nuggets but pack a crunchy, savory punch that you definitely won't find in any place with a drive-thru window.
1124 Cambridge St., Cambridge (617-354-7536). Served buffet style $14-25.

EUGENE, Ore. — Eugene police say the man hit by two cars Tuesday afternoon had three times the legal limit of alcohol in his system.
Officers say the man is in critical condition after he tried to cross 7th Avenue near Madison Street without using the crosswalk. A car clipped him, he fell, then another car ran him over.
Police say they're waiting for him to recover before they interview him.
"My very first question is going to be what happened? I'm not sure he's going to know why he did what he did," said Officer Michael Klews, Eugene Police Department.
Neither of the cars' drivers face any charges.
The crash is still under investigation.
