Hall Sets Up Commodities Hedge Fund Five Months After Duet
Jan. 10 (Bloomberg) -- Tony Hall has set up Hall Commodities LLP with former colleague Arno Pilz five months after the pair left hedge fund Duet Commodities Fund Ltd.
Hall Commodities, based in London's West End, the center of the capital's hedge-fund industry, was incorporated on Dec. 10, according to filings with the U.K. Companies House. Hall and Pilz resigned from Duet in July. The fund started in July 2010, gaining 26 percent in 2011 before losing money in 2012, including nine of the 10 months to June.
The company starts after a year in which most funds lost money and some of the largest closed. The Newedge Commodity Trading Index, which tracks hedge funds, fell 2.5 percent in the 11 months through November after dropping 3.8 percent in 2011. The Standard & Poor's GSCI Index of 24 raw materials was little changed last year and gained 2.1 percent in 2011 after a 20 percent gain in 2010 and 50 percent a year earlier.
The Bloomberg Hedge Funds Aggregate Index increased 6.7 percent in 2012, reversing a 5.1 percent decline in 2011. BlueGold Capital Management LLP, the $1 billion energy hedge fund co-founded by Pierre Andurand, liquidated after losing 34 percent in 2011 and Fortress Investment Group LLC shut a $500 million commodities fund after it lost almost 13 percent in four months.
Hall helped set up Duet Commodities in July 2010 after two years as global head of distillates oil trading at the Credit Suisse-Glencore alliance. Before that he was global head of middle distillate oil trading at Deutsche Bank AG between 2006 and 2008. He declined to comment yesterday when reached by phone.
Pilz, who traded metals for UBS AG and Apollo Management LP's metals fund, was head of metals trading at Duet Commodities, which managed as much as $350 million in March.

text: Plastic surgery: 'Wild West' of medicineBy Dr. Anthony Youn, Special to CNNUpdated 1228 GMT (1928 HKT) July 25, 2012Hospitals typically vet their surgeons and allow them to practice only within their field of training and expertise.Story highlightsMedical boards don't restrict doctors from performing surgeries out of their specialtyMany physicians are opening plastic surgery centers on the weekends to make moneyFind a plastic surgeon who is certified by the American Board of Plastic SurgeryMartha* had decided to undergo a breast augmentation. She researched doctors and found one she thought was well-qualified; ads in magazines touted him as board-certified and a top plastic surgeon in the area. Martha met with him for a consultation and underwent the procedure in his office several weeks later. But at home that night, she discovered a shocking sight:Her breast implants were lodged in her armpits.The next morning, she rushed back to her doctor's office. He inspected her chest and, with a quizzical look on his face, declared, "I have never seen this before."Martha decided to seek another opinion. A new surgeon explained that the previous physician had botched the procedure. She would need extensive surgery to correct it. As if this weren't bad enough, he also informed her that her doctor wasn't what he claimed to be. Sure, he was board-certified -- just not in plastic surgery. Dr. Anthony YounHer "plastic surgeon" was actually an eye doctor.Stories like Martha's are becoming more and more common across the United States. Plastic surgery has become the Wild West of medicine, with an increasing number of doctors performing invasive cosmetic procedures without proper training or credentials. In my metro Detroit practice alone, I've been horrified by dozens of botched jobs. One of my patients, a beautiful 25-year-old woman, was left with shark bite-sized divots all over her thighs and stomach after undergoing laser liposuction by a family medicine doctor. Just WatchedPfeiffer not opposed to plastic surgery replayMore Videos ...Pfeiffer not opposed to plastic surgery 02:36PLAY VIDEOJust WatchedTeachers get free plastic surgeryreplayMore Videos ...Teachers get free plastic surgery 02:43PLAY VIDEOA local ENT (ear nose and throat) physician took $12,000 from a young hairdresser for two unnecessary operations: insertion of watermelon-sized breast implants and liposuction to her abdomen. The implants were eventually removed, and the liposuction left her tummy a rippled, lumpy mess. Why does this happen?Although state medical boards regulate who can obtain a license to practice medicine, they don't restrict doctors from performing procedures outside of their training or specialty. Once they are licensed, there is no law against doctors performing any medical procedure they want to, as long as the patient consents to it. As a board-certified plastic surgeon, I can legally perform a knee replacement or hysterectomy, procedures for which I am completely unqualified. This lack of regulation has allowed an increasing number of doctors of all types -- including gynecologists, general surgeons and even emergency medicine physicians -- to perform tummy tucks, liposuction, facelifts and breast enhancement. These procedures are almost never performed in real hospitals. Hospitals typically vet their surgeons and allow them to practice only within their field of training and expertise. Doctors get around this by performing cosmetic procedures in their own in-office operating rooms or at ambulatory surgery centers, where the credentialing requirements may not be as strict.So why do so many doctors reject their chosen specialty and remake themselves as plastic surgeons?One word: money.Declining physician reimbursement has resulted in more physicians looking for ways to enhance their income. And plastic surgery is one of the only fields of medicine that is shielded from insurance companies. So an increasing number of doctors are closing their traditional medical practices and opening cosmetic surgery centers. These physicians learn the basics of plastic surgery through weekend courses, shadowing other doctors and even online webinars. This influx of poorly trained cosmetic surgeons has caused Martha's story to become just one of many. If you are considering having plastic surgery, I implore you: Do your homework. Find a plastic surgeon who is certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery, the only plastic surgery board that is recognized by the American Board of Medical Specialties. For facial plastic surgery, a doctor certified by the American Board of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery is considered an equivalent in all states. I consider it a privilege that my patients put their lives and bodies in my hands. All surgeons should. In return, we have a moral obligation to only perform procedures that we are fully qualified to do.No matter how well it pays.More from healthCollege kids make robotic arms for children without real ones2012: New technique for penis enhancementA billion at risk for hearing loss from exposure to loud musicPowered by Livefyre

La Choza, Santa Fe
A further-flung sister restaurant to the pricier, more touristy Shed cantina, La Choza inspires cultish devotion among many Santa Feans. The reasons include heaping platters of shredded-pork and red-chile tamales, ground-beef-stuffed sopaipillas, blue-corn chicken burritos, and soul-satisfying green chile—all packing plenty of fire and flavor. Though the restaurant's been housed in the same ancient adobe ranch building (near the city's railroad tracks) since 1944, it's still a secret to many visitors who mistakenly endure long lines at lesser competitors. Alas, La Choza is licensed—for now—to serve only beer and wine (and there's a reason wine-based margaritas have never quite caught on).
Tip: Don't be afraid of the weirdest-sounding dish on the menu—green-chile clam chowder. It's utterly delicious.
Congratulations to Mei Lin, winner of Top Chef Season 12.

MEMBERS ATTENDING: Patrick Phillips; Susan Corrente; Rich Kent; Sharon Wilson-Barker; Carla Ritchie; Phyllis Brazee; Joyce McPhetres ; Harry Osgood; Mary Madden ; Lyn Brown; Stephanie Cook (for Wendy Ault); Walt Harris; Richard Robles ; Kevin Jordan; Michael Montagna; Elizabeth Fisher; Joan McDonald; Pender Kimball; Shelley Reed; Rob Pfeiffer ; Duke Albanese; Henry Kennedy ; Emma Carlson; Lisa Plimpton; Rebecca Sockbeson; Ruey Yehle ; Charlie Harrington
WELCOME AND INTRODUCTIONS ( 9:45 AM , due to last minute change of room): Patrick Phillips introduced himself and asked each member to do the same. He explained that Commissioner Gendron is in Washington , DC and is looking forward to joining us at the next meeting.
LETTER FROM FIRST LADY KAREN BALDACCI: Patrick Phillips read the letter sent by Honorary Chair, First Lady Karen Baldacci and copies of the letter were distributed.
CHARGE OF THE TASK FORCE: Patrick Phillips asked Duke Albanese, Sharon Wilson-Barker and Carla Ritchie to describe the genesis of the idea for the Task Force, which they did, stressing that the scope had broadened from a concern about lagging educational performance in boys to one that includes all students and the affective issues that affect their performance and aspirations. Patrick noted that Lyn Brown had recommended that the scope remain broad and inclusive of both boys and girls and that the Department agrees with the importance of approaching the issues as issues of equity in opportunities and in delivery of services, for all students. Patrick Phillips then read the Charge of the Task Force, copies of which were distributed; he noted that it would be important for the Task Force to link their efforts to any related initiatives in the Department or with which the Department was involved. Rebecca Sockbeson recommended that "race/ethnicity" be added to the list of examples of factors associated with any discrepancy between male and female achievement (Charge, at B), and the members agreed with this recommendation. [Followup - see revised Charge, attached.] Patrick Phillips then asked the Research Team members to identify their areas of research, which they did.
PROPOSED WORK PLAN AND SCHEDULE: Patrick Phillips reviewed the proposed work plan and schedule, to date, copies of which were distributed. Rebecca Sockbeson recommended that the Task Force consider a presentation on multicultural education and Indian education, and later Elizabeth Fisher noted that she could add to this presentation with data on gender issues from her work with Somalian students in the Lewiston area. The members agreed that this presentation should be included; it is tentatively scheduled for August or October. Patrick Phillips also noted that the Department is developing a website for the Task Force as a clearinghouse for research links and articles, and for posting the Agendas, Minutes of the Task Force.
RESEARCH QUESTIONS: Patrick Phillips invited the members to read the research questions that were developed by the Research Team members, and explained that this was done ahead of time because of their expertise as researchers and also to allow us to begin work immediately today with presentations and discussion. However, he noted that these may still be refined by the Task Force as it proceeds. Several recommendations were made:
1. Extend question 1 from K-12 to K-16 (Carla Ritchie later explained to the members that we do cover K-16, but we separated out K-12 as the subject of Question 1 because the indicators we'll track there are specific to K-12) and include the effect of gender on selection of major in postsecondary education. (This is included in Research Question # 3 at "fields of study".]
2. Add data on students who are incarcerated. (The Department of Corrections has been invited to sit on the Task Force and, along with the several Task Force members who are members of the Juvenile Justice Advisory Group, can assist with the provision of this data; it can be related to the listed indicators.) [Followup - see revised Research Questions, attached.]
3. Add data on students who commit suicide. [Followup - see revised Research Questions, attached.]
4. Add data on boys with ADHD who are treated with Ritalin and girls with ADHD who are undiagnosed. [Followup - see revised Research Questions, attached.]
5. Add data on gender of classroom instructors, counselors, coaches and support staff who provide role models to students. [Followup - see revised Research Questions, attached.]
6. Explore the culture of the institutions in which students learn. (This is related to Question #6 but is a different issue.) [Followup - see revised Research Questions, attached.]
7. Explore the culture of the family, beyond the educational level of parents - e.g., what is taught as needed for survival. [Followup - see revised Research Questions, attached.]
8. Make copies of Taking Responsibility available to the Task Force members. [Followup - copies will be provided by the Department at the June 3, 2004 meeting.]
9. Have a separate presentation on MEA/NAEP data. [Followup - the Department will invite a presentation by Brud Max cy and others from the Department.]
10. Link to other initiatives and to grant opportunities . [Followup - the Department will include information it gathers and that is recommended by Task Force members to the electronic clearinghouse/website for the Task Force.]
PRESENTATION ( 11:10 AM - 11:40 AM ): Lisa Plimpton - "Relevant Mitchell Institute Data". Feedback: Duke Albanese suggested that the College Board will provide SAT score analysis for Maine , in comparison with national trends, once we develop the questions we want answered; perhaps they would send a researcher here. Patrick Phillips noted that PSATs will be offered free of charge to all high school juniors next year and that may be an additional source of data. Lisa will do an analysis of her data by region, where possible. This data should be linked to the Mitchell Institute's "Barriers to Postsecondary Education in Maine " (July 2002) report that is available on the web . Can early developmental indicators for these differences be identified? Rob Pfeiffer began to speak to that question and Patrick Phillips noted that he will be an important resource on that topic; likewise, Duke Albanese offered some reflections on the role of sports for male students and female students. Patrick Phillips also noted that we may also want to have a developmental psychologist advise the Task Force.
Susan Corrente recommended that, as the Task Force members learn more about the presentations/presenters scheduled so far and see opportunities to join in on those presentations, they should feel free to network with scheduled presenters to collaborate on presentations.
PRESENTATION ( 11:45 AM - 12:45 PM ): Harry Osgood and Michael Montagna - "Relevant Department of Education and State Planning Office Data. Feedback: Harry will provide links to the websites he has used in compiling this data (for the clearinghouse being established for the Task Force). Note: at tab 6 (Special Education Child Count Date, 2000), the incidence of deafness is underreported; tab 6 data can be disaggregated by gender. Duke Albanese noted that Maine is a "high identifying" State; and Shelley Reed noted that the incidence of specific learning disabilities in the alternative education and incarcerated population is high. Tabs 7 and 9 are the same - an oversight. [ Followup - Harry will provide links to the websites used for this data and he will recalculate the total percentages in tab 17 (2002 Fall Enrollment by Gender) as they don't appear to match the subtotals.]
1. Stephanie Cook shared anecdotes about college graduates unable to find jobs related to their studies in Maine when they return from college. Rob Pfeiffer questioned whether the State should be subsidizing dairy, agriculture, forestry, to create the sorts of jobs these students are training for and seeking, in order to direct their talents to the needs of the State's economy and also to create meaningful employment and rights of passage for young people.
2. Rebecca Sockbeson asked if there were an economist on the Task Force. (Yes, Michael Montagna, State Planning Office). She also suggested Susan Feiner, USM professor and author of "Race, Class and Gender in the Economy" as an advisor to the Task Force. Patrick Phillips asked if she might recommend some articles for the clearinghouse; Rebecca will inquire. [Followup - Rebecca will send any recommended title/links to the Department for inclusion in the clearinghouse.]
3. Carla Ritchie described the lending library established for the Task Force and Carla, Sharon Wilson-Barker and Lisa Plimpton described the three books available: Beyond the Gender Wars , Gender Gaps and Failing at Fairness [Followup - the Department will seek further information from Rebecca Sockbeson on Susan Feiner's book and either add it to the lending library or provide a reference for it on the electronic clearinghouse/website for the Task Force.]
4. Phyllis Brazee noted with approval the inclusiveness of the Task Force membership and hopes that the Task Force will inspire other groups to consider this issue, as well.
5. Joan McDonald will bring copies to the June 3, 2004 meeting of the Girl Scouts' recently published report "Wings that addresses some of these issues. [Followup - Joan will bring copies of the report to the next meeting.]
6. Rebecca Sockbeson asked why there were no numbers on Native Americans in the report on "Health Risk Behaviors Among Maine Youth, 2003" included in Harry Osgood's Department of Education data; she knows the numbers are small but they are available from the CDC on request. Sharon Wilson-Barker noted that data shows that Native Americans are the least likely to get a college degree. [Followup- the Department will follow up with Joni Foster in the Department on the request for these numbers.]
NEXT MEETING: The next meeting will be June 3, 2004 from 9:30 AM - 12:30 PM in the Cross State Office Building , Room 107.

Azalais - 18 Nov 10 - 6:46 AM
What a gorgeous gap-filler! Came across it while reviewing for this year's MEFAs and enjoyed it enormously. Like all good gap-fillers, it made me think about implications of canon events that had never occurred to me; the characterisations of the three great Elf-Lords were really enjoyable; and there was a great blend of tension and leavening humour. Bravo!

YA Event: LAUREN OLIVER
| YA Event: Lauren Oliver Saturday, March 8, 7:00 p.m. From New York Times bestselling author, Lauren Oliver, comes an extraordinary novel of fear, friendship, courage, and hope. Panic began as so many things do in Carp, a dead-end town of 12,000 in the middle of nowhere: because it was summer, and there was nothing else to do. Heather never thought she would compete in Panic, a legendary game played by graduating seniors, where the stakes are high and the payoff is even higher. She'd never thought of herself as fearless, the kind of person who would fight to stand out. Dodge has never been afraid of Panic. His secret will fuel him, and get him all the way through the game; he's sure of it. For Heather and Dodge, the game will bring new alliances, unexpected revelations, and the possibility of first love for each of them—and the knowledge that sometimes the very things we fear are those we need the most.With an atmosphere reminiscent of "Breaking Bad" and Winter's Bone, PANIC depicts a raw and bracingly realistic way of life that's a rarity in contemporary teen fiction. Already optioned by Universal Pictures in a major deal, this gritty, spellbinding novel captures both the raw energy of fear mixed with excitement as well as the aching need to find a place to belong. |

Need a new clutch...
My 2002 Katana 750 needs a clutch :( I need a complete rebuild, fritcion plates, drain plates and springs. I've been researching online and found a few options that fit, Barnetts, OEM and EBC. Does anyone have a review of the EBC or Barnetts kits? The bike is a commuter and a cruiser (lives the life of a sport tourer). I do get on it every once in a while but nothing like it'd see on a track (I don't do track days or plan to). I don't want clutch springs so stiff or friction plates so grabby that it's uncomfortable in traffic but think I want something tougher than the OEM kit which fried in 10k miles.
42 views and no one has replaced a clutch in a sport bike?
Ok... So I ordered EBC springs and friction plates. I'm hoping the steel drain plates are ok and can be reused. The springs are supposed to be 10% stiffer than stock and the EBC plates seem to have the same operation as OEM which should be fine for how I ride.

Visitor Notes:
Subject: 'Bucharest taxis' Posted by Stevie on: Friday, March 30, 2007 at 01:24 AM PST Watch out if you take a taxi cab in Bucharest. I have never been anywhere with so many of the taxi drivers trying to rip me off as a tourist with hugely inflated taxi fares. It felt like all of the cabs drivers were at this (but there were a 2 or 3 who were not). Bucharest is the worst place I have been for this. There is a very inexpensive metro system in Bucharest to help getting around.

Steelers schedule update: Some late Sunday games to start later
Steelers schedule update: Some late Sunday games to start later
June 29, 2012 12:22 am Post-Gazette By Dan Gigler / Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Five Steelers games this season will start 10 minutes later after a decision by the NFL Thursday to move the kickoff time for the late afternoon Sunday doubleheader games from 4:15 p.m. to 4:25 p.m. One home Steelers game and four road games will change. The Steelers' home opener Sept. 16 against the New York Jets will now start at 4:25 p.m., as will the following road games: Sept. 23 at Oakland, Nov. 4 at the New York Giants, Dec. 2 at Baltimore and Dec. 16 at Dallas. According to an NFL release, the later kickoff time will reduce the likelihood of fans missing the finish of a 1 p.m. telecast because TV contract rules require the networks to broadcast the opening kickoff of every home-market team's late-afternoon games. For instance: if Baltimore is playing a 1 p.m. game with playoff implications for the Steelers, who play at 4:25 p.m., interested fans would be more likely to see the end of that Ravens game before the broadcast switches to the later Steelers game. Addressing the matter, NFL spokesman Greg Aiello tweeted that the "Small shift in [kickoff] time on [limited number] of games will result in significant benefit for many NFL TV viewers." The decision came about after an analysis of games from the 2009-11 seasons. The NFL found that 44 games required part of the audience to be switched to a mandatory doubleheader kickoff. With a 4:25 p.m. kickoff time, that number would have been reduced to 15. The league estimates that approximately 40 games will be impacted by the shift in starting times. The 4:05 p.m. kickoff time for games not on the doubleheader network will remain unchanged. NOTES -- The Steelers added linebacker Ryan Baker to the active roster and cut former Pitt linebacker and Aliquippa native Brandon Lindsey. Baker, an undrafted rookie free agent from LSU, signed with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in April but he was released. Lindsey signed with the Steelers as an undrafted rookie free agent in April.

NFL Shifts Times For Doubleheaders: Good Or Bad Move?
Jun 29th, 2012 by CraigSteelers The NFL announced today that they are shifting the times of the second game of doubleheaders (on CBS and Fox) from 4:15 pm to 4:25 pm. This change came after extensive studies between the 2009-2011 seasons of when stations have mandatory switchovers to the second game while the first game is still finishing up. That happened 44 times during that time period. The studies concluded that if the second game started at 4:25 pm, then only 15 games would have had interrupted broadcast on television. I for one am hot on this topic. Being a fan of the Steelers and the NFL in general, networks appear to toy with your emotions on Sundays marketed as doubleheaders especially when the Steelers are involved. And although usually I find the problem to actually be that the network doesnt switch over fast enough (usually when Green Bay is playing on Fox and the Steelers follow them), I still think is a helpful change for must of us stuck on our duffs in our living rooms or on bar stools. Now if the NFL can find a way for a mandatory cut to cute kittens whenever Shannon Sharpe opens up his mouth over on CBS http://nicepickcowher.com/2012/06/29...d-or-bad-move/

Community organizations come and go, often beginning vigorously and then sliding steadily downhill as the enthusiasm of members wanes. In many instances, they're formed for a specific purpose -- to advocate a cause or to oppose a particular proposal, or to generate community support for something viewed as especially beneficial.

Founded as the Lake Wateree Homeowners Association, the LWA continues to offer not only a way for lake lovers to ...
Many teachers think they are the only ones offering education from their pinnacle of supremacy. I, however, know that this is not true. A wise educator learns much more from his pupils than they derive from him. Certainly, on occasion, my mouth has fallen open in delight, shock, or amazement from my assigned individuals. One class, in particular, stands out in my memory. The whole class was brilliant! How amused they must have been to encounter me. I have never thought that boredom led to entrapment or involvement in the learning process, so many former students still smile and tell ...

Fortuna Dusseldorf have completed the signing of Liverpool youngster Villyan Bijev on a season-long loan deal.
The 18-year-old American, who has Bulgarian parentage, joined the Reds in the summer but he will now spend the season in the second tier of German football.
Bijev moved to Anfield from the California Odyssey Soccer Club in early July and signed a three-year contract with Liverpool.
The teenager trained with his new team-mates on Wednesday and he is excited at the prospect of first-team football with the German club.
"Dusseldorf is a great club with a super stadium. I am looking forward to playing here and I hope that I can help my new team with goals," he told the club's official website.
The club's sporting director Wernder Wolf believes Bijev is an exciting talent, adding: "Villyan Bijev is a great talent. We want to give him the opportunity here at Dusseldorf to mature as a player."

Seems to do the clicking job fine.
I don't know if it's this particular download or what, but cnet's downloads now lack all credibility as this is the second item o ut of the last 3 I tried to install which were massively infested with malware and bloatware. Even after specifically unchecking all options it installed about 6 different toolbars and apps I didn't want. Wiped it out with a system restore ASAP
Works ok as a clicker, but on account of the massive malware and bloatware infestation, there are alternatives out there which are at least as good without all the baggage.

Today I Learned: python instantiates default values for method parameters only once — at method definition time. This can cause big problems if your method modifies values in these entities, because these modifications will be propagated to subsequent calls to the same method.
I spent the greater part of day yesterday hunting down some weird behavior in a python app, and I thought I'd share. Here is a simplified version* of what I found...
We're assigning the new_request closure to the http.request method, and never resetting it. A subsequent method call sees this closure as the original method, and everything breaks down.
The fix is to remove the default http value, and always pass in a throwaway http object.
*Note: the real (more complicated version) is in the authorize() method (line 439) here.
Use MacPorts to install python (I'm using Python version 2.7 for this demo): $ sudo port install python27
$ sudo port install python27
If successful, MacPorts should give you this informational message: "To make python 2.7 the default (i.e. the version you get when you run 'python'), please run: sudo port select --set python python27" So let's do that: $ sudo port select --set python python27
$ sudo port select --set python python27
If you want to make sure that installation worked, and you have the correct version, check like this: $ which python /opt/local/bin/python $ python --version Python 2.7.8
$ which python
$ python --version
Python 2.7.8
Using your MySQL server command line, create a MySQL database. I'm using the name 'djangodemo' for this example: > CREATE DATABASE djangodemo
> CREATE DATABASE djangodemo
Install pip: $ sudo port install py27-pip
$ sudo port install py27-pip
If successful, MacPorts should give you this informational message: "To make the Python 2.7 version of pip the one that is run when you execute the commands without a version suffix, e.g. 'pip', run: port select --set pip pip27" Let's do that: $ sudo port select --set pip pip27
$ sudo port select --set pip pip27
Now we can install Django: $ sudo pip install Django
$ sudo pip install Django
Verify that Django is installed: $ python -c "import django; print(django.get_version())" 1.6.6
$ python -c "import django; print(django.get_version())"
Add the Python bin directory to your path. Add this line to your .bash_profile: export PATH="$PATH:/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/bin"
export PATH="$PATH:/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/bin"
If you're using MySQL, install the Python/MySQL connector: sudo port install py-mysql
sudo port install py-mysql
Now you can start building your project. The official Django tutorial is a great place to start.
Every other month or so I've had the need to provision a clean Mac with a node.js development environment. I've summarized my steps here for quick reference (mostly for myself, but perhaps other people will find this useful).
1. Install Xcode from the Mac App Store.
2. Activate Xcode license: sudo xcodebuild -license
sudo xcodebuild -license
3. Install command line tools: xcode-select --install. This will bring up a prompt that asks you if you want to install the command line tools. Click "Install" to continue.
xcode-select --install
4. Download and install MacPorts
5. Use MacPorts to install node.js and node package manager: sudo port install nodejs npm
sudo port install nodejs npm
6. Use npm to install socket.io: npm install socket.io (or npm install -g socket.io to install it globally)
npm install socket.io
npm install -g socket.io

Hi, I'm Benjamin Haas, and I'm a software engineer and manager at Control Group. I am also a developer advocate, which means that in addition to helping build great products and experiences, I try to ensure that developers have a voice in all company-wide initiatives, projects, and processes. Furthermore, I am involved with our developer community outreach initiative, as we recognize that we are part of a larger group of companies and individuals that are actively working toward the technological transformation of New York City.
One aspect of developer advocacy and outreach that is important for me is being an active part of our Women in Technology program. Gender diversity in the workplace is a goal that I am happy to say I am working toward, and I am joined by a pleasingly well-rounded crew of co-workers.
My friend Jackie from Only Make Believe recently asked me to speak at the Emerging Leaders of New York Arts (ELNYA) event at the Talking Transition tent in New York. Talking Transition is an initiative to give New Yorkers the chance to take part in a conversation with the incoming DeBlasio mayoral administration. At the ELNYA event, I represented the city's tech needs, as they intersect with needs of the arts and arts administrators community. Here is the gist of what I said.
Let's say you're busy working on your project, creating feature branches right and left to build out your super sweet app. Then your dev team decides to change their feature branch naming convention. How do you proceed without having an aneurysm? Can you easily accomodate your team's plan and not end up wanting to punch people in the face? Yep! As a matter of fact it's super simple to rename your branches. Here's how.
When Marci and I went to New Orleans last year, we solicited the advice of our friends (Joshua M. Bernstein! Scott Gold! Molly Dorfman!) regarding where to eat and drink. I compiled their recommendations, along with some spots from eater.com, and made this Google map. Since then I've shared this so many times that I figured I should just publish it here. Enjoy, and let me know if anything is out of date.

Hawthorne Intern Chelsea Wicks Weighs in on Local Bookstores
Posted by Chelsea Wicks on 19 Feb 2015
Everyone who's ever visited or lived in Portland knows Powell's Books—it's as much part of the Portland experience as Voodoo Doughnut or Stumptown Coffee. What tourists and even locals (or semi-locals like me) might not realize is that Portland is home to many independent bookstores as unique and awesome as Powell's.
I recently moved back to the Portland area after graduating from the University of Oregon, and while I explored some of Eugene's great local bookstores, I have failed...Forward

NASA, the U.S. Navy, and Lockheed Martin test the Orion spacecraft off the coast of San Diego, California, in an image released August 4. Officials plan to use Orion to carry astronauts on missions to asteroids and Mars.
The open ocean exercise was designed to test the ability of the equipment and crew to recover the capsule after splashdown in preparation for eventual manned flights. The first unpiloted test flight for Orion is scheduled for this year aboard a Delta IV rocket.

Globular cluster IC 4499 twinkles in an image released August 4. This cluster of stars orbits the Milky Way galaxy and is about 12 billion years old. Massive globular clusters are made of stars differing in age—a collection of multiple generations of stars. Stars in smaller, lower-mass globular clusters tend to all be the same age.
IC 4499 is somewhere in between. Astronomers hope to use its special status to study how a globular cluster's mass affects its makeup.

Created for Onitsuka Tiger's 2008 brand campaign, The Electric Light Shoe was the second in the series of iconic sneaker sculptures developed from our Made of Japan strategy. This was the very first use of rapid prototype printing in advertising and communications.
The one-meter long 'city in a sneaker' was inspired by, and pays homage to, the Toyko cityscape. It also provided a platform to tell more stories about the brand and engage the target audience. We created everything from film to a limited edition OT shoe.
A finalist for the prestigious Cannes Titanium award, it received worldwide press coverage, from Business Week to Kanye West's blog. It also won the coveted Dutch Design Award and ADCN for Marketing and Strategy.

In the Wire Crochet class, students become pros at using large crochet hooks to create unique beaded necklaces. Check the schedule for dates and times.
Beads on the Ave
Beads on the Ave combines an impressive selection of gewgaws with expert instruction from the likes of Tonia Turner, affectionately known as "The Bead Doctor." Inside the shop, Swarovski pendants, semiprecious and precious stones, and glittering pieces from local artists glimmer as light floods through them from the all-glass storefront. In the spacious back room, instructors lead up to 25 students through a range of hands-on classes, teaching them how to create stunning works of wearable art as they sip on brought-from-home libations. The teacher provides supplies appropriate for each class, though they may charge extra for specialty beads, more expensive materials, or top-secret access codes to the White House's ruby vault.

"Be prepared to change your mind 20 times, but you will have a great time"

The film industrySubmitted by Guest 68888 (not verified) on Mon, 06/07/2010 - 12:28pm.
The film industry IS As with all things in this world, money is most important. So the incentives are vital to the industry that's been built here over the last three decades, if we want to keep it. Let's see--they've taken away furniture, textiles, tobacco, you name it! Should we let them take away film/TV without a fight? No. We were the # 1 "On Location" site for many years because of the hard work done here to build the industry. It has only been in the last decade that other states have wanted a piece of the film industry pie. We already have the infrastructure (studios, crew people, supporting businesses, etc.) right here. Let's keep this industry, shall we? » reply »

Killers of Las Vegas cops harboured anti-government ideology
Published on Jun 10, 2014 9:29 AM
LAS VEGAS (REUTERS) - A married couple who shot dead two Las Vegas police officers in a weekend pizza parlour ambush harboured anti-government and white supremacist ideology and threw a swastika on the body of one of the officers they gunned down, police said on Monday.
The couple are believed to have acted alone on Sunday when they killed the lunching policemen before heading to a nearby Walmart, where they killed a bystander who tried to stop them.
Later, surrounded by police, 22-year-old Amanda Miller shot and killed her 31-year-old husband, Jerad, then took her own life.
"At this time we believe this is an isolated act," Assistant Clark County Sheriff Kevin McMahill told a news conference.

His demented plan was thwarted by a woman who chanced to look out her kitchen window while she was washing dishes. She saw the boy acting suspicious, and called police. They responded and thwarted the plot.
None of the people who knew the boy well his family, his classmates, his teachers anticipated his murderous intent. We cant blame them. None of us are mind readers. We dont know how to identify the demented and murderous among us before they act. The boy in Waseca was described by those who came into contact with him as normal, a good kid, on the honor roll, and polite.
Im sure that the schools in Waseca will now have metal detectors. There was already a police liaison officer at the school, perhaps more will be added. The school announced that there will be a two-day Homeland Security session. But very rarely are sane people able to anticipate what insane people are capable of doing and to what lengths they will go to effect their plans.
Of course, we can not do nothing; we can only do what we think might help save lives. Even then, we know that there will be people who will not be saved.
Every minute of every day, we entrust ourselves and our loved ones to the care of others. Parents in South Korea may put their high schoolers on a ferry for a vacation outing, thinking that they will be safe. There are laws, rules, that ensure our safety. Ferries are not supposed to sink. Planes are not supposed to go down in oceans. Boys are not supposed to blow up the school where our kids are every day. Even with all our rules, laws, and precautions, we wont be able to prevent all tragedy.
Perhaps, though, we can do more. My hope is that some day, mental health will be as important to us as physical health. I hope that every school child will be screened for mental health problems, as we now screen for vision, hearing, and cognitive difficulties. When we take our kids to the doctor for pre-school and sports physicals, mental health screening could some day be a part of that battery of tests. Mental health assessments could be part of what parents and teachers all of us learn to do with our children, the way we assess walking and talking.
Humans are not perfect. Death will not be cheated. But there is always more we can do. For the most part, we close the barn door after the horse is long gone metal detectors, school police, security training. We need to look for ways to act, not simply react. Identifying mental illness and treating it is a good and attainable goal.
