Year is 1993/2007. Framed size is 24 x 24 inches (61 x 61 cm).
This mixed media on glass work by contemporary artist Mildred Howard is both a portrait of the eponymous Louisa and a commentary on the nature of seeing, with the complex interaction of image and glass evoking issues of opacity, subjectivity, and perception. The black miniature window placed on the surface of the work further advances these themes. "Louisa at Divisadero" demonstrates the artist's special affinity for glass, as well as her longstanding practice of using found materials and objects to connect her work to a larger history.
Mildred Howard (b. 1945) is a contemporary American artist best known for her work in sculpture, mixed media, and installation art. Howard's art often employs found objects and materials to explore issues of individual perception, national identity, and historical meaning. Howard has had solo shows at Louis Stern Gallery, Los Angeles, CA (2000); Gallery Paule Anglim, San Francisco, CA (2001, 2004, 2007, 2010); Nielsen Gallery, Boston, MA (2002, 2006, 2008); Walcot Chapel, Bath, England (2003); and Townhouse Gallery, Cairo, Egypt (2004), among many others. Over the last forty years, she has participated in many group exhibitions, including shows at the New Museum of Contemporary Art (1993); the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, CA (2000); the Oakland Museum of Art (2003); and the International Museum of Glass, Tacoma, WA (2006). Mildred Howard has been the recipient of awards from the Rockefeller Foundation, the California Arts Council, and the National Endowment for the Arts, among others.

Dan Ariely, a professor of Behavioral Economics at Duke University, says that studies show that when people pay off loans, they pay off the small loans first rather than the loans with the highest interest rate. Studies also show that even when people have debt, they keep a lot of cash. Both of these in combination cost people a lot of money that could be saved if they thought more rationally.
Ariely also believes that the cell phone may be our financial salvation. Through apps that tell you the cost of the item you are purchasing in terms of the cost of your favorite things, and ones where you you pose a financial question and the people that you trust most give you their answers, these typ

Glasgow Digital Library | RED CLYDESIDE | PEOPLE | EVENTS | GROUPS | LITERATURE | INDEX |
This report written in October 1915 stated that over 15,000 Clydeside tenants were withholding rents in protest at increases by landlords. However, it is now widely agreed that these numbers were deliberately exaggerated by the ILP as a means of encouraging others to participate in the strike and to encourage the extension of the strike throughout Clydeside.
These numbers would also have effected the way government viewed what they considered an increasingly volatile situation in Glasgow. By the Autumn of 1915 the government had every reason to believe that its authority was being sleriously undermined on Clydeside. Engineering workers were promising to do everything in their power to prevent the implementation of dilution in the munitions workshops and the munitions districts themselves had been in a state of mini-revolt over the question of rent increases since February of that year.
Given the perilous military situation with the British Army in France, Lloyd-George determined that statutory restrictions on working class rents were a political necessity to ensure the continuing production of armaments. The Rent Restrictions Act was promptly placed on the statute books in November 1915. This Act ensured that all working class rents remained at pre-war levels for the remainder of the war.

Rosemount homeowner Joy Peterson and her son Dominic, who serves in the National Guard, received more than a little home improvement help when the Craftsman "Make a Difference" Tour stopped by.
Homeowner Joy Peterson was just looking for some help to replace the aging carpet in her Rosemount home.
When that help came last week, Peterson and her family were floored in more ways than one.
For four hours Friday morning, the gray split-level she shares with two sons, one serving in the National Guard, was the site of a whirlwind of home repairs as part of the national Craftsman "Make a Difference" Tour.
They got new shelving in the garage and kids' rooms and a new front screen door. Repairs were also made to the house's plumbing, fence, gates and the driveway. Finally, the crew of volunteers fixed the shed and trimmed a tree.
Mayor Bill Droste spoke at the event.
The home's biggest update, replacing the carpet, will be done in the coming weeks.
"I really had no idea what I was getting into," Peterson said. "It's above and beyond what I could have even imagined."
The effort, also sponsored by the Sears "Heroes at Home" program and Rebuilding Together, a national nonprofit with a Twin Cities office, aims to repair and improve veterans' and military families' homes.
It all started last year, when Peterson sought help to pay for new flooring at the request of her 12 and 19-year-old sons, who were tired of the house's ancient, dirty carpet, she said.
"I really needed help with getting the flooring," she said. "I mean, how many kids do you know that would really say, 'I wish we had new flooring or carpeting?'"
Willing to do the labor herself if necessary, Peterson, a single mom who works as a server, filled out a form on the website of Rebuilding Together, a nonprofit that helps low-income homeowners with home repairs. The form has a box to check if a family member is in the military — and her son, Dominic Peterson, 19, serves in the Guard and lives with her.
When Peterson checked that box, her home became eligible for a "Make a Difference" visit, said Kathy Greiner, executive director of Rebuilding Together Twin Cities. Peterson was told that if she could wait for her carpet, she'd be eligible to receive help with other projects, too.
Greiner said Sears' "Heroes at Home" program has been a Rebuilding Together sponsor for about five years, funding improvements to veteran's homes. However, the Craftsman collaboration and the "Make a Difference" tour are new this year, she said.
Rebuilding Together manages fundraising and recruits volunteers in each of about 20 cities the tour visits. The tour began in April and ends in August.
"We don't think anyone should be without a safe home," Greiner said, "especially not someone who has served our country."
A team of nine volunteers, many from a local construction company, and two Craftsman representatives showed up at Peterson's home on Friday. A 36-foot "Make a Difference" truck filled with Craftsman tools accompanied them.
Dominic, the reason for the hoopla, arrived home Saturday from two weeks of training at Camp Ripley to an updated home. He said he's excited about the improvements, especially the carpet, which is coming soon.
"I was actually going to invest my own money in it," he said. "I was that eager to get new carpeting."

Freddie was right all along. The words kept repeating in Sam's head when Carly's brother Spencer drove her home. Then when they got out Sam grabbed Melanie and flipped her.
"Ow!" Melanie chirped.
"Why did you kiss Freddie, He is Mine!"Sam shouted. What Sam didn't know was that Freddie's car passed by right when she said the words Freddie He Is Mine.
"Hes cute!" Melanie stood up and wiped up the dust off her.
"Ugh whatever!"Sam walked in the building leaving Melanie running to catch up.
At home Sam's mom was asleep so the phone rang and Sam picked up.
"Hello?"Sam angrily yelled.
"Sam its Freddie."
"What do you want?!"Sam yelled.
"Can you meet me at the Seattle Park?"
"Fine, I want to be as far away from Melanie as possible."Sam said.
At the park, Sam and Freddie both stood.
"What do you want?" Sam asked.

The role of an intravenous fat emulsion composed of fish oil in a parenteral nutrition-dependent patient with hypertriglyceridemia. | |
MedLine Citation:
PMID: 18042955 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE |
Hypertriglyceridemia is a common complication in patients receiving parenteral nutrition (PN). Management typically involves withholding the IV fat emulsion (IVFE) until serum triglyceride levels normalize. In some instances, this practice may predispose patients to the development of essential fatty acid deficiency (EFAD) unless alternative therapies such as oral or topical oils are used. This is especially true in patients unable to tolerate enteral intake. We describe the management of hypertriglyceridemia in a 12-year-old boy dependent on PN who developed EFAD due to prolonged use of fat-free PN. His course was further complicated by PN-associated liver disease. Treatment involved the use of an IVFE derived from fish oils. Within 3 weeks, there was clinical improvement in EFAD and hypertriglyceridemia. The patient's triene:tetraene ratio decreased from 0.207 to 0.044 (normal: 0.013-0.05). Similarly, his serum triglyceride levels decreased from 628 mg/dL to 183 mg/dL (normal: <200 mg/dL). After 2 months of treatment, he was successfully transitioned to enteral feedings; hepatic function normalized, as did the essential fatty acid profile and serum triglycerides levels. This suggests that using fish-oil-based IVFE may be an effective alternative to conventional IVFE in PN-dependent patients whose clinical course is complicated by hypertriglyceridemia. |

Bendrey, R., Hayes, T.E. and Palmer, M.R. (2009) Patterns of Iron Age horse supply: an analysis of strontium isotope ratios in teeth. Archaeometry, 51, (1), 140-150. (doi:10.1111/j.1475-4754.2008.00419.x).

This paper presents a pilot study of strontium (Sr) isotope ratios from Iron Age horse tooth enamel samples. It compares 87Sr/86Sr ratios from horse teeth to estimates for local ranges of biologically available strontium, to investigate whether horses were being bred at the sites where their remains were discovered. A horse from Middle Iron Age Rooksdown, Hampshire, was not bred at the site but, rather, came from as far away as Wales, Scotland or continental Europe. Horse teeth from Middle Iron Age Bury Hill, Hampshire, returned 87Sr/86Sr values typical of local chalkland.

It consumes A flash burning Scarlet white Ardent Heat Radiant within starless obscurity Incinerating Entirely all within its grasp Flowing away on heat waves Carrying off Embers aglow Pluming skyward Ever higher Where the convergence is complete And then upon The approach of daybreak Where flames burn low and blue Cooling The ashes left behind Are Two embering and cindered lovers

Beer barrel R2D2 sculpture
22 Responses to "Beer barrel R2D2 sculpture"
hello i made this !
thanks for the nice comments, however i must point out that it is nowhere near beer barrel size, it is in fact six and a half inches tall. -
I like the idea of a raffle, that gives some of us economically challenged people a chance.
what is it? six inches high?
Now this is just freakin Rad! Tho I never knew that C3PO was gay and R2D2 was a lesbian. I guess you learn something new everyday.
ahhhhhhh, finally a suitable droid to serve beer on my sail barge!!
oh wait, it doesn't dispense suds? hmm guess this is NOT the droid i'm looking for…
As an extremely poor collector, I volunteer. I can offer $20 and a student pass good through September on Madison, WI city buses (don't worry, they never check IDs).
I have long suspected that R2-D2 was actually full of beer…
hoping to find a buyer who isn't just a rich collector…
Now there's a niche market. How do you target that?
Amoebaboy, I'm interested. If you can send a link so we can talk about it, that would be cool.
The big question is: What's on the inside? A holo-projector? Any other guesses?
I really like it. I'd like to bid on it. I'm doing my R2D2 imitation now…bugging the dog.
Seriously, I love this piece!
That's a great model. It must have taken an age to put together. Sell it hard Amoebaboy!
3 "three pee" O was obviously a fag. But what about R2D2. He was into the princess, but saved her and what did she do instead of hugging him? Ditched him for her brother! Crazy woman. Wait, that was redundant. I merely meant: woman.
C3PO was not gay. He's just British.
R2D2 was a lesbian. This all men know. And we do claim C3PO as one of our own.
I thought you were from California
Lines on a map, drawn by mortal hands…
thought so from the floor boards
Very nice work, do you use a loupe or what? I've always wanted to set up a bench with a stereo microscope for this kind of thing.
This IS the droid I'm looking for!
Well, are you rich?…
Then you can't have it!
#8..so close. I thought I was going to make it through the day without reading the word "steampunk" again. Is it over yet?
How convenient. Instead of rolling out a barrel, the barrel rolls itself out.
Poke around his DeviantArt page to see some of his steampunk Star Wars craft designs. Between all of the steampunk interpretations of Star Wars I've seen online you could assemble an entirely new production of it.

While I can't say you never see a man (or woman) going through a mid-life crisis and leaving their significant other of years for an older version; the truth is, more often than not, they choose a younger, more radient something to hang out with next, right? What's a girl to do when she discovers
No, she is not-well, not the wrinkled part anyways. She is going to get on her computer asap and order some Alpha Hydrox Skin Care which happens to contain the highest percentage of AHA's available on the market without a prescription!! Why? I am so glad you asked.
Alpha Hydrox Skin Care not only exfoliates the skin, but it reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, evens out skin tone, and even unclogs pores! It does everything but clean the toilets for you! It must be expensive, right? I mean, to buy a cream that *just* moisturizes at the local store costs upwards of $20, and I am pretty sure I just saw some of you tighten your hold on your wallet. Never fear, a 6 oz. bottle is only $11.99! That's less than a cheeseburger and fries for my husband and I cost!!
You're not old enough to worry about wrinkles? Honey, let's face it: you are never too young to start taking preventative measures and taking care of your skin. So what are you waiting for? Head on over to the Alpha Hydrox Skin Care Facebook page and check it out for yourself. What do you have to loose?

Ģ Auditors say WrensÆ issues are common |
By Carol McLeod
After 12 cold, wet hours of hiding in a wooded area and surrounding fields near Matthews, a man suspected of raping a 16-year-old Burke County girl was apprehended Wednesday afternoon, Oct. 19.
Accused rapist hid in wooded area
Staff Writer
Deputies from Jefferson, Richmond and Burke counties, as well as officers from other agencies converged on Matthews in the early morning hours after deputies from Burke County located the vehicle 44-year-old Darrell Williams of Bulloch County, had been using to elude officers.
Lt. Robert Chalker, an investigator with the Jefferson County SheriffÆs Office, said they received a call about 5 a.m. that morning.
ōBurke County had been in a chase with him and lost him in Jefferson County, then located his vehicle in the woods on Georgia Highway 88 about a mile east of Matthews,ö Chalker said.
ōHis girlfriend was still with the vehicle. She was taken into custody by Burke County. She stated that Williams had left running through the woods from where the van was,ö he said.
The investigator said officers set up a perimeter and brought in some dogs to track Williams.
ōIt was raining, which affected the dogs somewhat,ö Chalker said. ōAlso, we could not get a helicopter until the weather cleared, which was later on in the morning.ö
Chalker said officers worked to maintain the perimeter.
ōWe tried to keep the perimeter tight to keep him in that area until we could get the helicopter and dogs that could operate in the wet weather,ö he said. ōThen, mainly, it just took time.ö
Jefferson County Sheriff Gary Hutchins said Williams led officers into Richmond County and back into Jefferson County where he ran out of gas.
He reportedly pushed the vehicle off the road and left his girlfriend inside when he took off into the woods.
Hutchins said Williams began calling 9-1-1 on his cell phone, which allowed law enforcement to determine his location.
ōThe calls showed what address he was close by,ö Hutchins said.
The sheriff said officers followed some footprints and located Williams about 4:30 p.m. in a cotton field on Noah Station Road.
Burke County SheriffÆs Deputy Sgt. Dedric Smith said Tuesday the BCSO has charged Williams with rape and burglary.
His girlfriend, 52-year-old Diana Williams, has been charged with hindering apprehension of a wanted person, Smith said. That charge is a felony, he said.
The two are not related, Smith said.
ōI think theyÆre just boyfriend/girlfriend,ö he said.
Smith said Darrell Williams had been paroled after serving 11 years of a 15-year sentence for aggravated assault.
ōHe was paroled on that charge in May of this year,ö Smith said, adding Williams has also been previously convicted of three counts of burglary as well as a previous theft by receiving stolen property conviction.
A parole revocation hearing is being set for next month because of the current charges against Williams, Smith said.
ōHe also had a parole warrant out for his arrest,ö the officer said.
Smith said Williams did not resist arrest when he was located.
Diana Williams was cooperative at the scene, Smith said.
ōShe was cooperative. She gave us information as to which direction he ran in and so forth at the scene,ö he said.
Although Williams reportedly complained of an injured leg, Smith said he had only a dislocated finger.
Hutchins said besides officers from the three county sheriffsÆ offices, other agencies that assisted in the search were the Department of Corrections, the Georgia State Patrol, the Georgia Bureau of Investigation, the U.S. Marshals and the Department of Natural Resources; but, there was one group of people who really helped ¢ the people in the community.
ōThe people in Matthews were a lot of help,ö Hutchins said.
ōThey helped us in a lot of ways. They fed the officers, came by and brought us drinks. They were a tremendous help. Thatæs a close-knit community and theyÆre close up there. I just want to thank them for their help so we could retrieve this guy,ö he said.

After two years of tough cuts which include reducing the cityÆs workforce by 20 percent, Wrens auditors say that despite a few minor findings, the city appears to have a better handle on its financial situation.
Auditors say WrensÆ issues are common
Staff Writer
Wrens recently received an audit of the 2010 fiscal year, which was from Jan. 1 to Dec. 31, 2010.
Accountant Mark Davis of Jones, Jones, Davis and Associates, said the findings are in line with what most small towns and counties the company audits are facing.
ōThis is something we see in almost every audit,ö Davis said. ōThe small towns cannot hire and pay enough personnel to segregate duties. The three things cited are very minor.ö
In the findings, the city of Wrens was cited for lack of segregation of duties, reconciliation of general ledger accounts with subsidiary ledgers, and state budgetary requirements.
For the lack of segregation of duties, the audit states that there is not adequate segregation of duties between the recording, processing, distribution and reconciliation of cash accounts and other operational functions of the city.
ōWe have one person doing multiple tasks,ö City Administrator Arty Thrift explained. ōThe auditors say it would be better to delegate tasks to other people, but when you have a small staff, it is hard to do. We wouldnÆt be surprised if that was cited every year.
ōWe donÆt have a big staff. Big cities have a chief financial officer, bookkeeper and they can afford to have segregation of duties.ö
ōSmall towns cannot hire people just for segregation of duties,ö Davis added. ōEven the county had that citing. It is just our job to note it to the manager.ö
Thrift said the person who handles the cityÆs financial records are monitored and part of the monitoring is getting an audit. Working with the auditors has improved the accounting structure in Wrens, Davis said.
The next finding was general ledger account balances are not currently being reconciled with corresponding subsidiary ledgers and other supporting information.
ōSubsidiary ledgers and supporting documentation are an integral part of documenting general ledger balances and should be reconciled with the corresponding general ledger balance on a monthly basis,ö the audit states.
Davis said that businesses should reconcile people to the amount they owe on the general ledger on a monthly basis.
ōIn proper internal control structure, you are able to do it monthly,ö Davis said. ōAnd this is common too with smaller entities. Sometimes doing what is required is not always the most important matter. But that is our job as auditors, to find where internal control can be improved.ö
The city of Wrens is in the process of updating control procedures to include reconciliation of subsidiary documents with corresponding general ledger accounts, Thrift said.
The final finding is state budgetary requirements.
ōThe city violated state law by expending funds in excess of budgeted amounts at the legal level of authority,ö the audit states. ōThe cityÆs legal level of authority is the department level. Expenditures exceeded budgeted amounts in the general fund general government department.ö
In the audit, it is explained that state law mandates that actual expenditures are the same as budgeted amounts to ensure that budgeted expenditures are not exceeded which can result in expenditures in excess of the budgeted amounts.
ōYouÆre supposed to do an amendment to the budget that reflects that change in the budget,ö Thrift explained. ōWhat we did was just keep up with it and track it. We have to have a formal amendment and we have started doing them.ö
ōSmall government, in general, keep books on a cash basis,ö Davis said. ōThey donÆt keep track of accounts payable, so it is not uncommon. But cities have got to do a better job to amend the budget.ö
Davis said all of these are small infractions.
ōWe get help from our auditors, from accountants and others,ö Thrift added. ōWe know there are other ways to measure the cityÆs finances and we need all the measurement tools to get the clearest picture of where we are.ö
Davis said that while financial statements are hard to comprehend, the financial picture for the city of Wrens has improved.
ōThe loss of that main gas consumer severely hurt them,ö Davis said of the Mestek closing. ōIt is just something they will have to overcome.ö
Davis added that while the cityÆs financial picture is better, the city did have to raise taxes, as well as taking several steps to cut the overall budget and reduce personnel. He also said that the city has gotten a better handle of their financial picture.
ōKnowing you have a problem is the beginning,ö Davis said. ōThey met with a financial committee. They cut the budget and cut personnel, which is hard to do. They have a 20 percent decrease in total employees.
ōSmall cities have limited revenue sources, sales tax and property tax, those are their main sources, whether they make money on water, sewer and gas funds is unclear. They have made money on them in the past, but going forward, I donÆt know how it will work out. It is just a hard situation for all small municipalities. They are feeling the crunch from sales tax revenues because of a stagnate economy that decreases revenue.ö
One of the only ways cities have to make more money is to grow the number of taxable households, which Davis said is a lot easier said than done.
ōRight now the city is okay,ö Thrift said. ōWe have a long way to go, but we are okay.ö

If the mainstream media headlines are to be believed, the housing market is poised for a strong comeback in 2013. Not so fast, says Chris Whalen of Carrington Investment Services in this Fox News video clip. Sure, sales, prices and building starts are all up by 3% year-over-year, but the baseline used for comparison is pretty feeble. In fact, Whalen believes that the housing market could worsen the prospects for the economy in 2013.
What worries Whalen is the lack of credit. According to Whalen, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 left only the largest of the big banks—Bank of America, Wells Fargo, JP Morgan Chase, etc.—able to stay in the mortgage market at all. Dodd-Frank "annihilated" all the third-party mortgage loan originators, the brokers, who have gone out of business because of the tightened regulations and qualification requirements of Dodd-Frank. The barriers to entry into the mortgage lending market for small, independent brokers are simply too great.
What that means, Whalen continues, is that lenders are willing to make mortgage loans only on Federal Housing Administration (FHA) qualified mortgages as the big banks above remain unwilling to own loans against collateral for which the foreclosure process remains in a legal grey area. The FHA will loan on homes in a top price range of about $600,000 in the New York metro area, with a 20% down payment required. "Jumbo" loans once available for those in upper income brackets have vanished, which means for many markets with a high average home price, there is nobody willing to write the loan.
Whalen lists three factors that he believes will be the biggest inhibitors to a recovering housing market in 2013. His first and biggest concern is credit availability. Another by-product of Dodd-Frank is the amount of capitalization required to get into and stay in the mortgage business. This has resulted in a lack of capacity in the credit market, and the banks that are offering mortgage loans are only doing so when the loan is guaranteed by the government. This means the government socialization of the residential market may be at an apex, Whalen advocates for a return of private sector housing finance as new rules continue to thwart this process.
Related to credit availability is the second mitigating factor, the number of people who can qualify for a mortgage. Tougher qualification criteria for government-backed loans have reduced the number of people eligible to buy homes. "In fact they're rejecting 720 FICO scores at the FHA today; you need a 740 into an 80-20 mortgage… How many American qualify for that?" Whalen asks.
The third and final factor is the coming implementation of Basel III, a set of regulations adopted by the Bank of International Settlement's Basel Committee on Banking Supervision aimed at implementing safeguards against high-risk banking practices that might threaten an institution. Basel III is expected to force the big banks out of the mortgage market because of its requirement that banks hold more cash.
If the current housing market environment is not adequate to support a real recovery then what needs to be done? As you might expect, Whalen believes that these factors, especially credit availability, have to be revisited:
The real estate market has, historically, helped the economy by supporting labor mobility—a strength of the U.S. economy. When an unemployed worker has an opportunity to get a job out of state, for example, the ability to easily sell property is critical to being able to take the new job. If labor mobility is hampered by workers' inability to sell homes easily, reducing unemployment will be even more difficult.
Whalen's bottom line: the housing market must come back in order for the U.S. economy to avoid recession and begin recovery.
My friends in the analyst community, they all say, 'Oh, we're never going to have private mortgage-backed securities again that don't have a government guarantee.' No, we have to fix that market. We have no choice; we have to fix it.
Your post is very informative and I clearly understand all the concepts and facts about the mortgage credit. Yes you are right that the banks are doing everything; all the business they are doing is for government guarantee.
I believe this is an excellent "technical" analysis of the mortgage market, but not particularly practical.
Never under-estimate what the government will do to spur the economy. We already see automobile lenders falling back to sub-prime lending.
IMHO, Congress will do whatever is necessary to spur the housing market, regardless of any domestic or international regulations to the contrary.
It is in Congress' best interest to have a strong housing market, bottom line is that above is interesting but practically moot.
Congress will only do things after its bad. Not before.
Right now things appear ok. According to all published numbers, housing is on the mend. So politicians are happy and won't monkey with regulations until it all starts falling apart again.
Only then they'll re-evaluate.
Prescience is not their forte.
Not exactly moot, and quite excellent, as when considering potential jumping off points, one needs foundation established.
So, FICOs like those quoted above are the facts of today's FHA (which is nearly broke), could FICOs be re-lower a la '04??
We think they may do more than buy up MBS, possibly debt forgiveness at the GSE level.
Combine these facts with Whalen's private mortgage market revival, and we should see stagnant RE for 5 years with the 4.5m overhang in shadow inventory held out of market creating an artificial price lift and some positive sentiment that is doing little but tricking homebuilders into "starts" and further supply.
Meanwhile real incomes and the economy shrivel. Sounds like the present WealthCycle persists!

New California Governor Jerry Brown: Unions' Friend or Foe?
California public employees unions enjoyed a moment of victory Monday as Jerry Brown took office as governor, a position he last held almost three decades ago. In contrast to outgoing Republican Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, who made national headlines for brutal battles with union nurses, teachers and firefighters, unions campaigned heavily for Brown.
It was an absolute no-contest as far as unions were concerned; Brown's opponent was former Silicon Valley CEO Meg Whitman, who showed her feelings toward low-wage workers by calling immigration officials on her undocumented housekeeper. The California Federation of Labor intensified its get-out-the-vote campaign for the gubernatorial election; Whitman's spokesman decried public union spending, about $25 million on the election. Union members said they were just trying to counter the $104 million Whitman spent on her own campaign.
The big question now is: How will Brown deal with public employees unions in the face of a crushing budget deficit which Republicans and others have blamed largely on supposed cushy contracts enjoyed by these employees.
TV news channel KUSI described a campaign trail event where Brown and his wife tried to walk a fine line, shaking hands with union members at a hot dog cookout but ignoring the podium and microphone they had ready for him, eliciting boo's from attendees.
In the days since the election Brown has warned of impending cuts, including to public programs and agencies. In response, teachers unions -- which critics say are in bed with Brown -- have called for raising property taxes or other measures. Brown meanwhile has talked of creating half a million "green" jobs, (presumably predominantly private sector but unionized or well-paid), an idea met with significant skepticism.
KUSI reported:
He will probably ask voters in a special election to raise taxes. The real question is what will he do about the public employee unions, their growing labor contracts and their swelling pension demands? There are very few who believe Jerry Brown can and will stand up to the unions and if he does not, there is not much chance to solve the states' "outyear" budget problems.
Conservative blogger Dwight L. Schwab Jr. lambasted Brown for kowtowing to SEIU for political points, negotiating what he calls exorbitant public employees salaries which the cash-strapped state can hardly afford.
While California public employees have doubtless received significantly more generous pay and pensions over the years than most private employees and other states' public employees in similar positions, union members balk at the idea that they are single-handedly to blame for a budget deficit that has also been impacted by everything from the Enron debacle to generous corporate welfare to the economic crisis caused largely by Wall Street and subprime lending malfeasance.
Not to mention the economic stimulation that theoretically would have been caused by the public employees' spending their relatively high salaries over the years—helping to offset other budget woes. One union member commented on KUSI's story:
It's not like the State workers have asked for pay raises across the board. The majority of us haven't had a pay raise in years and the 15% cut I and the other 200,000 workers took last year didn't even pay the interest on the deficit the State has. The majority of us know the deficit, in fact we know the problems intimately well but aren't being listened to.
A similar debate had raged in the blogosphere, editorial pages and public forums during Brown's years as governor of Oakland. Among other things, Brown was accused of currying favor with public employees by generously padding their overtime budgets. The LA Times reported:
In all, 82 full-time employees doubled their annual salaries with overtime at least once during Brown's time as mayor, city payroll records show. Twenty-one employees took home more than $100,000 in overtime in a single year; 333 earned more than $50,000 in overtime in single year. Of the roughly 4,000 city employees making at least $20,000 in base pay, 681 increased their annual salaries by 50% or more with overtime in at least one year of Brown's tenure.
One online commenter said in March:
Sooner or later we will have to face the financial mess that the public employee unions have wrought on California. And we have Moonbeam to thank for making this mess.
Another responded:
Any of you who are not working 6-day weeks and 12- hour days owe a big debt to the union movement. But you would have to understand history to know that.
Meanwhile other labor activists said Brown was hardly a real friend of workers, describing his support of Oakland police attacking longshore workers and privatization of education and other services.
Teacher and Oakland Education Association union leader Jack Gerson said in a video posted last spring:
"Jerry Brown was a huge advocate of charter schools, and started two directly himself," referring to an arts school and a military institute. Gerson said that during Brown's tenure in Oakland, the number of charter schools roughly doubled and the number of charter school students quadrupled from about 2,000 to 8,000. "Jerry Brown is the biggest ally to privatization of education in the U.S."
ILWU Local 10 longshore union executive board member Jack Heyman noted that Brown supported the union in 1998, "but it was a totally opportunistic move on Brown's part…he was trying to build a base of support running for mayor of Oakland."
"Who showed up but Jerry Brown, because the cameras were rolling and the radio stations were there. So he got publicity for himself under the guise of supporting labor. But Jerry Brown is for Jerry Brown, and he always has been."
Heyman noted that Brown "gave the green light' for Oakland police to brutally attack longshoremen and other picketers at an anti-war protest on the docks in 2003.
"It's hypocritical – not only does he claim to stand for labor, but for civil liberties and people's right to free speech," Heyman said. "It's hypocritical on his part because not only does he claim to stand for labor, but he claims to stand for civil liberties, for people's right to free speech...but here he was giving the green light for police to attack not only anti-war protesters but longshoremen in the port."

Though they carry the sunny demeanor of summer days, lemons (and so many citrus fruits) come into their prime during cooler months, pepping us up as days get shorter and nights get cooler. GFS Contributor Christine Galanti brings a bright beacon of lemony love into our lives as we move into a new season.
In my first semester of college, I took a psychology course taught by a professor with a round face and gentle demeanor who came from a Sicilian family. His lectures in class, on warm days in particular, were known to meander from textbook topics to threads of nostalgia reaching back to his boyhood summers spent with relatives in the old country.
He seemed to forget we were there—or maybe he that he was there—and the class was transported into his daydreams about the heat of the sun in the afternoon or his uncle who had a vineyard and the quality of the soil. We loved to encourage him when he waxed poetic because the more he reminisced, the less course material he taught, and the fewer quizzes we could take. Kids as young as nine or ten, he recalled, thirsty after a game of soccer, were permitted to drink beer and could be served a small glass in public (but would likely be refused a second).
Inevitably, his remembrances and our discussion turned to lemons. Not like the hard yellow rocks we have here, the lemons in Sicily grew plump and juicy, some the size of softballs and heavy with liquid sunshine. In the years to follow, I learned that limoncello, pasta al limone, and frozen granita are a few of the many forms of lemon worship practiced in southern Italy. I don't remember much from the psychology lessons we studied in class, but I did learn never to miss the opportunity to savor Sicilian lemons.
The subject of citrus came up recently in conversation over lemon-kissed beef carpaccio at PT with my friend, a French Culinary Institute alum who lived in Italy while growing up. She remembered certain lemons on the Amalfi coast with thin, edible skins (like kumquats) that could be eaten like an apple.
Passing the Grom gelato stand just outside of Central Park, I spotted Sicilian limone granita on the menu. The texture was light and velvety, and flavor was just right—more tart than sweet. Grom's lemon granita is made from the juice of the Femminello siracusano, a fruit from Siracusa with flesh low in acidity and peel high in aromatic essential oils, gently squeezed to avoid the bitterness of the pith.
Hoping to discover a mother lode of prime Sicilian lemons, I visited Grom's storefront. It turns out that the fruity base of the granita mixture is processed in Italy and then shipped overseas, with the final product produced here in the New York kitchen. Disappointingly, there are no actual lemons in the shop, but the flavor is still like an instant vacation.
While you likely won't be able to find Sicilian lemons at your regular old big box grocery store, any of the Italian lemon varieties will grow in citrus-friendly regions of the U.S. like California and Florida. If you know someone with a tree, it's time to start making better friends with them, or substitute the more prevalent Eureka or Meyer lemons for your own at-home granita.
EDITOR'S NOTE: Granita is nothing more than a slimmed-down simple syrup (a 2:1 ratio of water to sugar instead of the usual 1:1 ratio) flavored with fresh fruit juice. Adjust the amount of sugar or lemon based on your preference toward sweet or tart, but for the freshest lemon flavor, don't skip the food processor step: it brings out even more of the essential oils in the lemon zest.
Lemon Granita
Prep time: 10 minutes
Total time: 3 hours
Makes 4 servings
- 1/2 cup (3 1/2 oz.) granulated sugar
- zest of 1 lemon
- 1/2 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (from about 4 lemons)
Whir the sugar and lemon zest together in a food processor for about 20 seconds until the sugar is moist and fragrant.
Transfer the lemon sugar to a small saucepan and add 1 cup water. Bring to a simmer, stirring to dissolve the sugar completely.
Remove the lemon syrup from the heat and cool to room temperature. Add the lemon juice and transfer to a freezer-safe pan.
Freeze for 2-3 hours, scraping and stirring with a fork every half hour or so to give the granita a flaky but smooth consistency. Scoop and serve.

Blames unshuffled decks of cards
A New Jersey casino has sued a group of gamblers who won $1.5 million after they allegedly realized the eight decks of cards used in a game of mini baccarat were not preshuffled.
The Golden Nugget in Atlantic City, N.J., filed suit against the gamblers and playing card company Gemaco after 14 players collectively won $1,536,700 in 41 winning hands.
As the same sequence of cards kept appearing April 30, the players increased their bets from $10 to $5,000, the casino alleged.
"The gamblers unlawfully took advantage of the Golden Nugget when they caught onto the pattern and ... by passing money to fellow gamblers in order to place bets in excess of posted betting limits," the casino said in a statement.
In a lawsuit filed in New Jersey Superior Court, the casino cited gambling regulations that state gaming odds must be fair for both sides.
The Golden Nugget is seeking a return of the $558,900 it paid out to several of the players and the nearly $1 million worth of chips.
Benjamin Dash, attorney for the gamblers, said his clients, who did not know each other, were "playing the game lawfully."
After paying out a portion of the winnings, the casino managers became suspicious. Convinced they were watching a "sophisticated swindling and cheating scheme," they refused to cash in the remaining $1 million in chips.
No evidence of a scheme was found. On May 1, the Golden Nugget said it learned by "direct admission" from Gemaco's CEO that the decks used in the baccarat game were unshuffled, despite being touted as preshuffled, certified decks.
ABCNews.com was unable to reach Gemaco for comment.
Three of the gamblers filed a countersuit against the casino alleging they were discriminated against because of their Chinese heritage.
"All of the players were Asian [and] none of their chips were honored," Dash said. "In New Jersey, a chip is evidence of a debt."
After the win, Dash said, one of his clients was assaulted when he answered the door of his hotel room.
The man was pinned against a wall and his belongings were searched, Dash said. He was then held in a room without access to food, water or an interpreter, according to allegations in the countersuit, which identifies no particular assailant.
The Golden Nugget called the claims "completely false."
"[We] would never discriminate against anyone, including the Asian community," the casino said in a statement. "In fact, the Golden Nugget designed and built an Asian gaming area and restaurant to specifically attract Asian guests to the casino."
The case will be heard Aug. 31.

"[We] would never discriminate against anyone, including the Asian community," the casino said in a statement.
That's when they are taking someone's money, however that doesn't apply when someone is taking their money.
* you don't need more tickets, just the right ticket * * your best chance at winning a lottery jackpot is to buy a ticket *
Sounds like sour grapes from the casino.
Their management staff should have checked to insure the card decks were shuffled prior to the start of the game. This is just casino 101 stuff.
What idiots, they deserve to have lost.
How many times has a casino not paid a player because of human or machine error.....
The casino deserves a settlement from the card MFR.
however the players chips should be honered,
but w/ this costing jersey tax $ my guess is the jersey supremes will side w/ the casino.
Extraordinary Popular Delusions & the Madness of Crowds -- Charles Mackay LL.D.
Maybe Im confused and I read the story wrong. I understood that the people who won notice that THE CASINO did not shuffle the deck of cards. Whos fault is it?? It does sound like sour grapes for the casino. So New Jersey Casino...SHAME ON YOU!! If it was me, HAND ME MY MONEY, the dealer was not doing his/her job and he/she should be penalized for that. A win is a win. The casino, already knows that people know how to count cards, that why they have multiple decks......DUH on yall part!! Yall got caught slipping.

" malfunction voids all play and pays"
As a casino player. I freakin LUUUVV it. I heard about this a while ago on a poker table. This is a beautiful thing. There are more details to this story that are just worth looking into. For instance, during the streak security was called to surround the table. They thought the players were cheating. All the pit bosses were fired ( dumbazzes ) dealers, etc.. I think this is hilarious. i hope the players get to keep the winnings.
9 ppl. were fired over this incident,
all supervisor level and above, no dealers.
not just sour grapes, but if the chips are not honered, could also be bad P.R.
this casino has been doing pooly for years, I know, my sister has been working there since 85
Its called the golden nugget now, but it just got that name a year ago when a new owner took over.
It used to be called Trump marina and before that trump castle.
Sounds like a long history of incompetent management.
I agree with the casino's decision to not fire the dealers, their just the low guys on the totem pole.
"You can either have the money and the hammer or you can walk out of here. You can't have both. What do you want? "
...if I got screwed out of 1.5 mil I can assure you someone will be getting sodmized with a cactus.
It's sad that they run on the mentality that it's ok to keep plundering peoples wallets and bank accounts but it's not ok to take a beating every once in a while whether from personal fault or someones dumb luck
"No matter how bad things may get, I'd like to thank my middle finger
for always sticking up for me.."
Wonder if a little Vaseline would ease the pain of the cactus sodomy.
I meant if I were the player who got screwed out of the money.....and hell no I wouldn't use vaseline.Maybe a habenaro based sauce...
I knew what you meant Jonny! Just more of a rhetorical out loud thought.
The sauce would be extremely appropriate.

Study of Attraction Behaviour of Indigenous Isolates of Entomopathogenic Nematodes Using Galleria mellonella
Hussaini S.S., Shakeela V., Kumar K.C. Kiran
National Bureau of Agriculturally Important Insects, Bangalore-560 024, India, E-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com
Cruising ability of host searching behaviour of some of the entomopathogenic nematode species was analyzed in agar plate (petri dish scoring system) using the last instar larvae of greater wax moth, Galleria mellonella as host. Petri dish scoring system was based on the probability of nematode distribution in the presence/absence of the insect host. It was given weightage, depending on the number of nematodes reaching the target insect. The weighted responses were given ranks and scores to make quantitative analysis of the attraction behaviour of nematodes. The movement of nematodes in presence of host increased significantly as the duration of observation increased. Among the species of Heterorhabditis, H. indica PDBC EN 13.31 and PDBC EN 13.4 proved the best cruisers followed by Heterorhabditis sp. PDBC EN 4.6 and PDBCEN 4.5 isolates. Among steinemematids, S. feltiae was the best followed by S. abbasi and S. carpocapsae.

Samsung denies Nexus S rumors, preps Continuum for 8 November
Samsung has just denied the rumors on an upcoming Samsung-made Nexus Two (a.k.a. Nexus S). As it turns out, the event on November 8th is actually dedicated to the Verizon-exclusive Continuum dual-screen smartphone.
Word was Samsung is about to release the next-generation Google Nexus phone next Monday, on 8 November 2010. However, according to the South Korean company itself, this is "simply not true".
So, new rumors started spreading. This time those suggest that during the press event scheduled for the next week, Samsung will actually announce its dual screen version of the Samsung Galaxy S, the Samsung Continuum, which will head for Verizon's stores.
The most noteworthy feature of the upcoming Samsung i400 Continuum is the secondary screen that's located underneath the primary one. When the phone is active, the bottom display strip shows weather information, the date and the time.
The rest of the time, the screen serves as a status indicator - new messages and emails, missed calls, voice mail, IMs, social notifications, etc. Thanks to a special grip sensor, the display lights up every time you pick up the phone.

Kiki, Sony Ericsson's strangest phone ever
9 Responses to Kiki, Sony Ericsson's strangest phone ever
This looks like an odd phone but in a good way. I could see myself using this for about a week the getting bored. Phone is unique, just not unique enough to keep your attention
Too bad. Had this come out earlier, it would have been the ultimate Minority Report tie-in. Ah well.
Display looks two sided and see-through. Some transparent OLEDy sort of thing, perhaps? And the little protrusion on the second green bar is where the one on the 5 on a regular phone is, so the bars would then be a keypad. I'd say this is strange in a good way.
Maybe its just me but I feel as though from now on we should do touchscreen only. Buttons should not be used in new phones and gadgets. I don't know about this phone but i see three buttons on the cover and it's a future concept.
Re: "but no specs are offered" – it was a leak and they're performing an internal hunt for the leaker.
Finally, a worthy successor for my Motorola F3!
It still has SE's stupid proprietary plug. What happened to adopting standard microUSB, huh?
That's another thing… Sony Ericsson ditching Memory Stick Micro cards in favor of MicroSD. Let's see if that's for real with this Kiki phone.
It looks very sexy, but I'm already tired of the touch screen thing. I prefer the full Qwerty key board like Sony x1 but with a better camera, more internal memory and an expandable mricoSD.

And backwards. . . That's a harmonic divider to increase x-max. But, I need the opposite device to decrease x-max for 3" and 4" speakers with 1mm clearance.
The device I'm looking for is psycho-acoustic bass with the low fundamentals omitted--This has low bass sound of headphones--very pretty but no impact, and thus no x-max either. P.S. Ah, fond memories of the DBX and a club with a vibrating wooden floor where the drinks were cheap and all the tail was free, but then I got married and have 3" to 4" speakers that I might could use in the garage or garden. Wow, just like bait-n-switch marketing!! Anyway, need odd multiplier, not even divider.

I would try a low pass filter and a full wave rectifier and mix this with the other sound via another low pass filter.
You could probably do the whole thing with a quad op amp. rcw |

The secret weapon of such "ultra-bass" is saturating transformer. Audio engineers who record music for ipods and similar toys know this well.

Interesting... I'd never heard about that secret weapon.
And just to clarify, the above device isn't so much a divider. It was designed to generate tones an octave lower than the actual signal (of between about 50-100Hz) and add them at the output. An idea before its time? That is the opposite of what you're looking for, so if a similar device subtracted instead of added...

That's what the device I described does.
It full wave rectifies the input from the first low pass filter to produce the second harmonic plus a lot of other harmonics, then filters out the higher harmonics this produces and adds them to the original signal. Saturating a transformer gives third harmonic only whereas this gives both second and third, the balance of which is dependent upon the roll of point of the output filter. rcw |

I didn't understand this schematic because the hookup for the 2 pins of the single diode shown, is not the same as the 4 pins of a full wave rectifier. How does that go?

The one function that showed the best result according to the AES articel was some exponential with an offset. From the complexity point-of-view this shouldn't be difficult to be done in analog circuitry. The enemies (as always when doing tricks with nonlinear analog circuits) are component tolarances and thermal runaway.
I will have a look at the paper again and will show a circuit that could be used but I will not do any fine-tuning etc. The full-wave rectifier wasn't perceived as being too good in the JAES article. Regards Charles |

The diode only lets positive going signals in, when this happens there is feedback the negative going signals go via the input and feedback resistors, in this case there is no feedback until the op amp output goes positive again.
This is about the simplest precision full wave rectifier you can make. rcw |

Eventually, the dog is able to win Shane over with his unusual talents and firefighting ability. Before long, the dog becomes an intricate member of the special firefighting family and an extremely close friend to Shane.
