Abstract |
In this report we present an ontology for Multi-Modal Transportation Planning and Scheduling. We take, as our starting point, the previously developed OZONE scheduling ontology, which provides a general basis for formulating scheduling domain models. We extend this core framework as necessary to capture the essential char-acteristics and constraints of multi-modal transportation planning and scheduling, and then use this extended framework as a basis for elaborating concepts of particular relevance to transportation planning and scheduling. Though we define a fairly large base of transportation planning and scheduling terms, our intension has not been to produce an exhaustive domain ontology. Rather our primary goal has been to define the representational framework and ontological basis for comprehensive modeling and solution of multi-modal transportation planning and scheduling problems. |

cultural ecology
aspect of human ecology
human ecology
...structure adapts to the quality of natural resources and to the existence of other human groups. When this study is limited to the development and variation of cultural properties, it is called cultural ecology.
contribution of Steward
Julian Steward
American anthropologist best known as one of the leading neoevolutionists of the mid-20th century and as the founder of the theory of cultural ecology. He also did studies of the social organization of peasant villages, conducted ethnographic research among the North American Shoshone Indians and various South American Indians, and was an early proponent of area studies.

Environmental and ecological studies in anthropology
In reaction to the determinist-possibilist debate, Julian Steward in 1955 developed an approach he termed cultural ecology. Steward proposed that cultures interact with their environmental settings by adapting features of technology, economic organization, and even kinship or religion to allow people to best pursue their livelihoods. Thus, cultural ecology views the environment as presenting...

Testing LAN Performance
Joe Bardwell mentioned a few products at his Wildpackets seminar last week. One was Spirent Communications performance analysis products. For example, to test LAN performance, you might look at SmartBits Ethernet Modules. Joe also talked about NetScout LAN Probes. These might make good collection platforms, although they are more for performance issues and less for security or traffic collection like a Sandstorm NetIntercept.

Target Seen Losing Customers in Wake of Card Data Breach
At the height of the holiday shopping season, Target Corp. (TGT) finds itself grappling to maintain customers' loyalty in the wake of a breach that exposed data from 40 million debit and credit cards.
Since disclosing the breakdown last week, the second-largest U.S. discount chain has agreed to give some shoppers free credit reporting, assured them they wouldn't be responsible for fraudulent charges and offered a 10 percent discount on purchases last weekend to regain their trust. In its latest statement, Target said yesterday it's unveiling a dedicated website for communications to customers.
"They've been doing everything that they can," Robert Passikoff, president of New York consulting firm Brand Keys, said yesterday in an interview. Still, "you're going to see, at the wrong time of year, people who are moving to other alternatives until some comfort level comes back."
Target said Dec. 19 that security for the cards may have been breached between Nov. 27 and Dec. 15 as they made purchases in stores. While the chain said it had identified and resolved the issue, the compromise occurred during the most important period of the year for retailers and with shoppers already showing reluctance to spend. The retailer said yesterday it's aware of "limited incidents" of fake communications claiming to be from Target, prompting it to set up the dedicated breach communication site.
Sales Struggles
Even before the incident, Target had been struggling to boost sales and earnings. The retailer's third-quarter profit trailed analysts' estimates as U.S. shoppers held back and expansion into Canada dragged on earnings, sending net income down 46 percent from a year earlier.
Target fell 0.3 percent to $61.71 yesterday in New York. The shares have gained 4.3 percent this year, trailing the 14 percent advance of Wal-Mart Stores Inc. (WMT) and the 43 percent increase of the Standard & Poor's 500 Retailing Index.
Target said Dec. 23 that it has doubled the number of staffers answering inquiries at its call center and has communicated with 17 million customers via e-mail.
It also hosted a call on Dec. 23 for state attorneys general to speak with its general counsel for an update on the breach. Representatives from most states participated in that call, Target said yesterday.
Massachusetts is among states probing the security breakdown, and the retailer is already facing almost two dozen lawsuits, mostly from customers accusing the company of failing to safeguard their information.
Credit Monitoring
Target also has agreed with New York's attorney general to provide a year of free credit monitoring to New York victims of the breach.
Security is one of the most important elements of brand loyalty, Passikoff said in a telephone interview yesterday.
"Although people take it for granted, when it falls apart, it becomes a gaping hole, and that's what happened to them," he said.
Molly Snyder, a Target spokeswoman, said yesterday in an e-mail that "our priority continues to be the security of our guests and we are working around the clock to address this issue."
Target has plenty of company in its quest to attract shoppers as retailers jockey for business in what's expected to be a tepid holiday season. U.S. store visits fell 21 percent in the week to Dec. 22, according to ShopperTrak. The Chicago research firm has predicted a 2.4 percent sales gain for this holiday season, which would be the smallest since 2009.
Reluctant Shoppers
To lure reluctant shoppers, retailers have ratcheted up discounts to the highest level since 2008, according to Craig Johnson, president of Customer Growth Partners in New Canaan, Connecticut. Even with its 10 percent discount, the number of transactions at Target slipped 3 percent to 4 percent compared with the final weekend before Christmas last year, according to Johnson's firm.
The breach also has shown that security in the U.S. is weaker than in some other countries that now use credit cards with embedded chips that are more secure than magnetic strips to store account data, according to Dan Kaminsky, co-founder and chief scientist at White Ops, a cybersecurity firm in New York. The U.S. payments industry has said it will replace magnetic strips by 2020, a deadline that could now be accelerated in the aftermath of the Target breach, Kaminsky said last week.
Troubling Breach
While card-swiping devices have been hacked in the past, the incidents typically occurred at a single machine or store, not chain-wide, which is why this breach is troubling, Kaminsky said. Target said account numbers, expiration dates, cardholder names and credit verification value, or CVV, had been compromised. That kind of data could be used to make counterfeit credit cards, Kaminsky said.
The data thieves also stole encrypted personal identification numbers, or PINs, according to a senior payments executive familiar with the situation, Reuters reported yesterday. One major bank is concerned the thieves could break the encryption and make fraudulent withdrawals from bank accounts, the executive said.
"To date, there is no evidence that unencrypted PIN data has been compromised," based on the company's communications with financial institutions, Target's Snyder said in an e-mail.
'Anemic' Efforts
Given the scope of the Target breakdown, the retailer's efforts so far have been "anemic" and "misplaced," said Rob Frankel, a Los Angeles-based brand consultant.
"They could have put their foot down and said we're going to the European-style credit card for our stuff because it's a lot more secure, and we're proud to be the first ones doing it even though it's more expensive," Frankel said yesterday in a telephone interview.
The company said it's investigating the breach with the U.S. Justice Department and the Secret Service, which asked it not to share details of the probe. U.S. Senator Richard Blumenthal, a Democrat from Connecticut, also has urged the Federal Trade Commission to probe Target's data-security practices after the breakdown.
The retailer's customers have been affected in other ways, too. JPMorgan Chase & Co. (JPM), the biggest U.S. bank, had placed spending and withdrawal limits on 2 million customers who used debit cards at Target. The bank had set limits of $100 in cash withdrawals and $300 in purchases and on Dec. 23 lifted those to $250 in withdrawals and $1,000 in purchases.

LIME CITY, TEXAS. Lime City was a small community in eastern Coryell County on the St. Louis Southwestern Railway two miles south of Oglesby. It developed around a lime-producing plant operated by Ben Friend in the 1880s, and during the industry's peak years the community was an important rail stop. Lime City declined as the quality of the lime deteriorated, and by the 1940s the community was only a whistle stop, with its population reported as twenty-four. Only parts of the lime plant and general store remained in the 1980s. A cement company based in Waco used rock from the Lime City area to make white cement.

My Own Best Enemy
arrives in the midst of
Richard Marx
's thriving career as a producer and songwriter, and in particular his Song of the Year Grammy with
Luther Vandross
for "Dance With My Father." You'd think these successes would sour him on another solo outing, especially since 1997's
Flesh & Bone
and the 2000 self-released LP
Days in Avalon
didn't exactly ignite soft rock radio. The opposite, however, seems to be true. Working comfortably within the adult pop realm (instead of grudgingly accepting the genre as his fate),
puts forth a solid effort tinged not only with engagingly modern production and arrangements, but subtle personal reflections and just a little bit of that "Don't Mean Nothin'" grit. "When You're Gone" is the single, reintroducing
's grainy smooth voice over a slick yet rousing backing track helped along by the guitar and supporting vocals of pal
Keith Urban
. The Nashville connection continues with "Love Goes On" --
Jessica Andrews
contributes chorus harmonies, and the nicely appointed cut's a steel guitar overdub away from contemporary country hit status. Later, "Someone Special" acts on that Music City pacing and steel guitar urge; it's essentially a
song sung by
My Own Best Enemy
does stick a little too closely to its slick formula, and the lush production smooths its edges. But
keeps reaching deep into his vocal chords and pulling out that legitimizing scratchiness he's always relied on. The midtempo sameness of
also highlights
's slower material and his talent for deftly altering the mood. The quiet, simply romantic "Again" features some really nice flourishes of watery, echoing guitar, while slight electronic percussion patters in the background of "The Other Side"'s bruised-heart urgency. The two songs are emotional opposites, yet they never stray from an easily digestible adult pop sound. It takes true talent to sound genuine over what could've been maudlin.

22nd Nov 2008
I live on the Oregon coast of the Pacific Ocean in America. I am from Minnesota originally. It's very cold there, and by 1996 I'd had my lifetime's allotment of snow, so I bought a new truck and hauled myself and my dog all over the USA to find a new place to live. My secondary goal was to see as many national parks as I could. My third goal was to get my dog into as many places that dogs were forbidden as possible. I put 28,000 miles on the truck and picked beautiful lush Oregon as my new home. The dog liked it, too because
a) blueberries grew wild and he could eat them from the bush and
b) sometimes he could find a whole dead sea lion to roll in. Yay.
I moved here and eventually found a husband who
a) taught college
b) read in bed
c) lived on the ocean
What more could a girl want? So we got married and I decided to really learn to cook, because if we couldn't feed each other's senses, how could the marriage survive? He is smart and funny, so I figured I'd better bring something to the table, so cooking it is!
Oh, and if you ever get the chance to make an extensive tour of the United States and see all of it's national parks, by all means do it! I know many people on this site don't particularly care for Americans, but that doesn't really affect topography, does it? This is a splendid and magnificent country. There are things so gorgeous here that I'd never even imagined them until I saw them. Seriously.

My JourneySubscribeBack on the horse...posted @5:04pm ET on February 16, 2012
I have been so slack-tastic lately I can't even begin to describe. I need to get right back to it. Life is so crazy, which I know isn't the greatest "excuse" in the world. Everyone's life is busy in one way or another. But I have about a week until my audition with Ensemble Stage, and I definitely want to look my best for it! I know I won't be able to drop a lot in the next week... but as I've said before... as long as I'm not over 150... that would be fine with me.
I feel really horrible because I've been home all day and I actually thought about working out, but didn't. I decided to work on homework and get some reading done instead... which isn't the worst way to spend my time I suppose ha ha SO MUCH READING THIS SEMESTER!!!! But I do need to get back into it. Seriously. I can't believe how far I've fallen behind. It makes me smile to see so many people on here that have done so well lately. Quite inspirational I must say! It's like you've all given me the kick in the rear I needed to get back to it and get it done! Anyways, I need to pop off here and start getting ready for work soon. Hope everyone has had a great week so far. Later days!
@ 10:06pm ET on February 16, 2012
Don't feel horrible!! I neglect my working out duties too!!!LOL, I guess I'm not the only one.
I have a horse and do Natural horsemanship, and horses Is a great way to lose weight, as a fact I've lost 5 Kilo's from it. Also I've gotten VERY strict about what I eat. From 2 Days ago on, Only Brekfast, Lunch and dinner, NO SNACKS!!! It's going great and I've already lost 1 1/2 kilos. So If You really need to lose weight do it that way!! I Have a friend in Australia who did this, because she was going to the beach with her friends in 2 weeks, and she lost 5 whole kilo's and looked great!! So it's really fast, Wish me Luck to keep it up!!:) Good Luck!!

This Brazilian show spread progressive messages about contraception and health to a mass audience, thanks to efforts by the Population Media Center.
Delaware Senate candidate Christine O'Donnell has loony opinions not just on masturbation but on population, contraception, and sex ed.
The one GOP Senate candidate who supported climate action was knocked out in Delaware's primary on Tuesday by Christine O'Donnell, a Tea Partier and "cap-and-tax" critic.
A letter writer argues that it's better for the planet if one partner in a household stays out of the workforce. But that's quite a stretch.
It sometimes gets lost in discussions of population that some of us have a lot more (and a lot more of an environmental impact) than others.
It's not often that natalism makes the news -- and with guns and hostages, no less! But population is in the headlines today thanks to James J. Lee, the eco-wacko hostage-taker.
Does it really make a difference to global sustainability if Americans have fewer kids? Damn straight, says William Ryerson of Population Institute.
"The media fetishizes celebrity motherhood to the extent that it's practically become pornography," writes Kiri Blakeley in Forbes. This paints an outlandishly unrealistic portrait of motherhood, and adds to the pressure on all women to have kids.
Elizabeth Gilbert -- author of the bestselling "Eat, Pray, Love," now a big-budget Julia Roberts movie -- makes a strong case for going childfree.

Nice house and country setting.
July 16, 2013
The house had nice amenities and it was quiet and very relaxing. The only negative issue was the water pressure. Showers and baths were a challenge. Not enough water pressure. Well filter had to be cleaned, but still had problems. New metal trash cans with lids would help. We had to continuously pick up trash in the yard from raccoons or other animals digging in the plastic trash cans. The house is very convenient to bay fishing/Port Aransas ferry and small town shopping. There was plenty of room to park, but our large boat was scraped by tree branches. Trees could be pruned a bit, and one could be completely cut down. My niece backed into it, and broke out her back window and dented her back bumper. The tree also makes it hard to back a large boat into the driveway close to the water hose. There are plenty of trees. One that causes issues could be cut down. The rocking chairs on the front porch and back yard furniture were great!
Owner's reply:
It is unfortunate that your stay was not all that you expected. We limit the amount of guests to 10 due to the well system. When there are more guests staying at the house than it will accomodate, there will be water pressure problems. Also, we do not recommend that you fill a large pool either. Thanks for making us aware of the need for trimming the trees & new trash cans. That is an easy fix. Sorry about the window. A look in the rear mirror may have prevented your niece lots of heartache.

Great Place!
April 11, 2013
My husband and I stayed in this lovely , peaceful home for three months and thoroughly enjoyed it. It is a nice clean home equipped with everything you need for the kitchen and bathrooms with a washer and dryer. It is nestled in back off the road with many live oak trees. You feel like you are in the country and yet you are close to everything you need. The owners are very friendly and accommodating. Being situated between Rockport and Port A was a plus as we had friends in these areas, not to mention being so close to the beach and fishing! Can't wait to return there!

Don't stay here
July 19, 2011
We rented this home for a weekend. The house is beautiful, however the bed broke both nights, sending us to the ground no water the morning of the second day and the second night there we were robbed. The owners didn't seem to concerned at all, didn't even come by the house to assess whether their items were missing. The police officer stated that they had been called out to this house 3 month prior to our incident as well. They also have had several calls from another gentlemen down the street regarding break ins.

Aransas Pass Visit
July 13, 2011
The home was very nice and the visit could have been wonderful. The property was broken into while we were away at the beach and only our property was handled and stolen. None of the owner's electronics, appliances, or other goods appeared touched. When the owner was contacted about the incident they did not even visit the property to check on it until after we had vacated. I would not recommend this property to others due to the unfortunate circumstance of the break-in. This property should be flagged in a way not to attract future victims. This incident wrecked our visit!

Wonderful Experience
March 3, 2011
Great property, easily accessible to various Churchs, Walmart, gas stations, resturants, and hospital. Property is extremely clean and equally well furnished. Owner of the property is always accessible and more than willing to assist when needed, they are wonderful friendly, and kind. Six co-workers and I rented this property for three weeks and had a wonderful experience, would definitely recommend to everyone.

Four adults, one infant, and various family members used this home during our Christmas Holidays. The sleeping, bathroom, kitchen, and living areas are adequate for a small to medium family. The "running" area for kids is wonderful, and gladly useable. The owners are quick to come to assist and help when needed.

7 smart and sassy crime fiction writers dish on writing and life. It's The View. With bodies.
Thursday, March 15, 2012
DEBORAH CROMBIE: As we are still feeling historical (or perhaps hysterical) this week, the wonderful Lauren Willig joins us with a few thoughts about why we like history mysteries, and talks about her new book, THE GARDEN INTRIGUE.
I've just discovered Lauren's books, I'm happy to say, (although sorry not to have done so sooner) when I was signing last month at The Poisoned Pen in Scottsdale and Barbara Peters, goddess of bookstores, put THE ORCHID AFFAIR in my hand and said, "Here. Read this. You'll love it." Barbara's recommendations cannot be ignored and this was no exception.
And so I was hooked. Napoleonic Paris. Spies. Romance. And knee breeches. All bracketed very cleverly by an ongoing contemporary story that ties the books in the series together--and now I have a new book to look forward to as well as the earlier books in the series!
Lauren has kindly offered to send a copy of THE GARDEN INTRIGUE to one of our lucky commenters, and I'll announce the winner in tomorrow's post.
Oh, and one more thing. Lauren looks much prettier in a tiara than Brad Parks (no offense, Brad:-)) And now, here's Lauren!
LAUREN WILLIG: I heard that there was some discussion over here about literary salons and things historical, so, inspired by Brad's appearance last week, I couldn't resist donning my best tiara and barging over—because, really, wearing tiaras and talking about history are two of my very favorite things. It's what got me into this job. (The history, not the tiaras. Although getting to wear a tiara to work is always a perk.)
To paraphrase a completely inappropriate source, the past had style; it had flair. Fans, coaches, gilded ballrooms, clever turns of phrase, knee breeches… all these are catnip to me. I've always preferred court intrigue to electoral politics. The more mistresses involved, the better. (Charles II, I'm looking at you.) For those of us who have always felt that we might have been born in the wrong era, historical fiction is the best way of rectifying that. We get all the glamor and intrigue of an earlier era without the inconveniences of lack of contact lenses, toothpaste, and flush toilets. Until they invent a proper time machine, historical fiction is the best thing we've got going (without any of those pesky worries about throwing off the time space continuum and all that sort of thing.)
In historical fiction, we get to hobnob with history's most interesting characters. It's the best possible sort of VIP room, and a VIP room to which anyone with a library card is invited. In previous books, I've gotten to hang out with the ruler of Hyderabad, Lord Wellesley, George III (during one of his mad phases), and even Jane Austen. In my latest book, The Garden Intrigue, my heroine, Emma, knows everyone who is anyone in Napoleonic Paris. She's best friends with Napoleon's stepdaughter, collaborating on a project with Robert Fulton (yes, the guy who invented the steamboat!), and a frequent visitor at Josephine Bonaparte's country house, Malmaison. Emma's relationships mean that we get to see the Bonapartes at home, in all their squabbling glory. It's like gossiping about old friends—or frenemies.
I also believe that historical fiction serves other, deeper purposes. It provides us with a safe space, a happy never-never land in which we can deal with troubling issues in a non-threatening way. Like fantasy and science fiction, historical fiction has the capacity to provide a laboratory for the working out of real world problems. I've always been fascinated by the way historical fiction tends to mirror the preoccupations of our own age. I don't think it's any accident, as the disparity between rich and poor rises, that we've seen a corresponding interest in books set in the Gilded Age. Likewise, I've long wondered whether the rise in popularity of Jane Austen and everything Austen-related in the past decade has had something to do with the decay of courtship rituals in modern society. As we find ourselves in a world that seems romantically unsettled, it provides comfort to imagine a society in which courtship was played by the rules. Historical fiction provides both a cautionary tale and a corrective, a mirror for our current concerns.
Along those lines, someone made an interesting point on a panel I was on at the Tucson Festival of Books this weekend (for which I would provide an attribution if I could remember who it was. Oh, well.). In historical crime fiction, we have no DNA samples. There are no lab guys in white coats coming to provide an anodyne scientific solution to the crime. Instead, historical crime fiction, because of the lack of all those high tech doodads, is forced to rely upon analysis of characters, the whys and wherefores—a why-dunnit, as much as a who-dunnit—to solve the crime. In an age of electronics, it's sometimes useful to back away from all the devices beeping and ringing around us and take a good, hard look at people instead.
It doesn't hurt if some of those people happen to be wearing knee breeches.
Which is your favorite historical era?

Lauren, I am meeting so many new-to-me authors here on Jungle Reds! This is wonderful.
My favorite historical era is 17th century New England and New France. Love those times. Also enjoy reading historic fiction in the16th century England of Henry VIII and Charles IX of France (especially as influenced by his mum, Catherine de Medici)-- all the church figures of the time and the political and social reactions to religious change.
Got a huge lift one summer living in Henry VIII's Old Library at Christ Church College, Oxford. Being in that space moved me to work and feel and do everything I could to understand the religious and church upheaval of that period.
Looking forward to reading your books. So glad you were here in Tucson for our humble book fest. Please do come back. Love your TFB pic by the way. You kind of look naked. - March 15, 2012 at 3:54 AM

Hey, Lauren. Kathy Lynn Emerson (aka Kate) here. I was lucky enough to stumble on the first in Lauren's series when it first came out and have been a fan ever since. Great stuff. I may write about Tudor England, but for my fiction reading I'm especially fond of the early 19th century.

So nice to meet you Lauren! Thanks for visiting JRW. I think you're on to something with the idea of focusing on the people, rather than the techniques of crime-solving. Maybe that's why I go more for the amateur sleuth side of mystery-writing...
I usually don't read historical fiction (except for rhys of course), but these books sound great. And I AM a recent convert to Downton Abby, so maybe I'm mature enough to branch out:) - March 15, 2012 at 7:31 AM
- Jan Brogan said...
Well unlike Lucy, ALL I read these days is historical fiction (and just straight history). So I am perfect example of your logic - I love to escape to another age. Oddly I usually don't like escaping to fhe future (although I made an exception for The Hunger Games)
Your books sound terrific. Can't wait to check them out. - March 15, 2012 at 8:49 AM
- Lauren Willig said...
Hi, ladies! Thanks so much for having me here today.
Reine, have you read Judith Merkle Riley's "The Master of All Desires"? She does a wicked caricature of Catherine de Medici-- hysterically funny and very spot on.
I'm so jealous that you spent a summer in Henry VIII's Old Library! - March 15, 2012 at 9:29 AM

Regency.. then Edwardian... I love stuff with witty writing and beautiful dresses...

I'd have to say I love getting lost in your books so much (as well as Tracy Grant's)that my favorite historical period is around 1800 to 1820. Though of course, I love reading about the Tudors, Plategenets, Victorians, etc. - March 15, 2012 at 9:31 AM
- Lauren Willig said...
Hi, Kate! I have your books going WAY back, including a very battered copy of "Echoes and Illusions".
It was actually the Tudors who drove me to the 19th century, too-- I was working on a Tudor/Stuart PhD and desperately needed some light entertainment, so I decided to play with Napoleonic spies on the side.
And we all know how that turned out. - March 15, 2012 at 9:34 AM
- Tammy said...
I love, love, love Lauren's books. Nice work having her here, Lauren and Reds!
And Lauren, I'm with you on the literary visit to history. I wouldn't do well without a shower. - March 15, 2012 at 9:36 AM
- Lauren Willig said...
Thanks, Ashley!!
- March 15, 2012 at 9:36 AM
- Lauren Willig said...
Thanks so much, Tammy! And, yes, the shower thing is really an issue-- or, for me, contact lenses, since I guess we'd get used to the hygiene after a bit, but I'm blind as a bat without my contacts. I remember reading, back in the day, a time travel novel where the heroine winds up back in colonial America with extra contacts and saline solution (they happened to be in her handbag) and thinking, "Really? Yeah, right."

For all of you Tracy (writing as Teresa) Grant fans, I just got to read the ARC of her latest, Imperial Scandal, which comes out on the 27th. Wonderful!! And you've got to admire a writer who tackles the Battle of Waterloo!

- Rosemary Harris said...
Welcome Lauren - you're a new-to-me author and I look forward to going back in time with you! I was about to write that I don't read too much historical fiction, then I remembered Charles Todd, Stefanie Pintoff, Cordelia Frances Biddle and another author whose latest book Gods of Gotham, hits the stores today, Lyndsay Faye.
I'm in awe of you folks for all of the research and detail you have to include in your books. Lauren, do you ever get emails about your research? - March 15, 2012 at 10:47 AM
- Lauren Willig said...
There's a copy of "Imperial Scandal" up for grabs on the News page of my website right now! http://www.laurenwillig.com/news/2012/03/14/imperial-scandal-give-away/
For anyone who hasn't read Tracy's books before, I advise going back and getting a copy of "Vienna Waltz", set at the Congress of Vienna, to read before "Imperial Scandal" comes out-- it's my favorite. - March 15, 2012 at 10:48 AM
- Lauren Willig said...
Hi, Rosemary! I was just on a panel with Charles Todd this weekend (hmm, that may be where that comment about historical crime fiction came from....).
I do get emails about the historical aspect all the time-- from people who want advice on doing their own research, who want sources to learn more about specific aspects, or who have caught errors (and there are always plenty of those!). - March 15, 2012 at 10:50 AM
- Julia said...
I've read ALL of the Pink Carnation books, including the Christmas story you did about the -ahem- consummation of Turnip and Arabella's love. (Folks, if you want to see how to do funny AND sensitive AND romantic, with a most unlikely hero, read this.)
I'm delighted to see you were pursuing a doctorate in "Tuds and Studs." Like Reine, my favorite era is the 17th century, especially the Civil War and Interregnum. Alas, not a wellspring of popular fiction. I've often thought I'd like to do a mystery series set during the Civil War...just as soon as I can find the time. - March 15, 2012 at 11:41 AM
- Leslie Budewitz said...
I am so glad to know wonderful authors who make literary time travel easy, to so many fascinating times!
Lately I've been fascinated by the story of Huguette Clark, the reclusive heiress who died a year ago at 104 and left $400 million, inherited from her scandalous Copper King father (and one-time US Senator from Montana) Wm Clark -- and lots of intrigue and litigation. So I'd love to visit the late Gilded Age, IF I got to wear Huguette's fabulous Art Deco diamond and emerald bracelets! (Drooling on the monitor as I look at the Christie's auction catalog photos!) - March 15, 2012 at 12:07 PM
- Linda Rodriguez said...
Hi, Lauren, I'm so glad you visited JRW today and so pleased to learn about your books. New books to buy!
My favorite period is the Victorian, followed by the Edwardian, followed by Classical Rome and Roman Britain. Oh, and of course, Elizabethan and... I'm a fan of historical fiction in general, actually. - March 15, 2012 at 2:15 PM
- Hank Phillippi Ryan said...
Oh Lauren, so great to se you! Like Ro, I was about to say, oh, I don't usually...and thn I thight- the Todds! Caleb Carr! Stefanie Pintoff! And it made me think--when an "historical" is wonderfully written, the time of the book seems like " now," know what mean?
Can't wait to read your book..and thank you so much for being here today!
( and I'm at PLA in Philadelphia. And sitting here in my lucky little hot hand is the new Charles Todd -- An Unmarked Grave. Whoo hoo.) - March 15, 2012 at 5:49 PM
- Hank Phillippi Ryan said...
Guess you can tell I wrote that last comment on my iPad, sigh..xoox
- March 15, 2012 at 5:50 PM
- Reine said...
Lauren, no I haven't read Judith Merkle Riley's "The Master of All Desires" but will now. Thanks for the tip.
Staying in The Old Library was plain luck. I'd been assigned beautiful old rooms overlooking the gardens but couldn't access them. The Old Library room was available. Just luck. - March 15, 2012 at 8:02 PM

The neighbor is creeping me out....he knows I am spoken for.
This is about all you can do. Be honest!
Quoting SlapItHigh:
I'd say that you don't think it's appropriate to hang out.
Divorce is hard on everyone. Let him know you understand this, but then gently remind him that you are spoken for. I'm almost positive that he isn't looking for anyone right now. But you never know.
Otherwise, I can't think of anything else.
Quoting LivinDeadGurl:I can't really offer any advice since I don't see anything wrong with being friends with another man while "spoken for".
Quoting Ladybug1260:That's just my way of thinking. I dont feel comfortable talking to other guys as friends when spoken for.
Quoting CreziaMommyTo2:
so because you have a boyfriend you cant be a friend to another of the opposite sex?
I'm confused as to why your BF would leave you b/c another man is venting to you?
Just tell him you wish him the best but you don't want to be involved in this mess.

Need for Speed: High Stakes

Between the hot cars and tracks, in-depth Tournament mode, and thrilling cop chases, this excellent racer's got depth and style to spare. It's worth every cent.
The overall graphics, gameplay and realism are as good as any racing game I have seen for the Sony PlayStation, and it's a lot of fun too.
The graphics are absolutely stunning, but lose a few points for a quirky frame rate and lack of spectacular lighting, but damn they sure are perdy!
As many may know, "Gran Turismo" ain't much in the way of thrilling action or multiplayer (It's not extremely fast and there are no real crashes or damage). In the end, High Stakes is just more fun.
If you are a fan of the series, NFS: HS is the second best in the series second only to the original 3DO version.
It's got tremendous competitive spirit, and enough changes (10 international tracks) and alterations to earn hard-core gamers' respect.
The inability to call for backup in two-player hot pursuit games is completely unforgivable and keeps the gameplay score from being even higher.
Put your high-priced cars on the line in this racing sequel. [Jan 2004, p.188]
The game slows down when the track is full of cars. Plus, you might find your attention distracted by an over-detailed landscape that washes out the course ahead.
It's more evolutionary than revolutionary, really.
The High Stakes mode of play is rather difficult to pull off most of the time, and virtually impossible unless you know someone else with the game.
Fans of NFS3 will rejoice, but be warned that this game is an almost seamless continuation of the last game.
It doesn't do a lot radically new, but it does present a decent racing challenge and an excellent two player mode.
It seems almost threadbare in places due to the lack of attention in the physics, design, and multi-player aspects. Casual racing fans will probably get a kick out of it, but the hardcore gamers will be left wanting more.
User score distribution:
Positive: 1 out of 2
Mixed: 0 out of 2
Negative: 1 out of 2

NWAR: Trench Warfare
Detective Nwar gets his hands dirty for a political campaign.
4.41 / 5.00 2,745 ViewsThe Orange Box Collab is finally released. We should have had this out a month ago, but we jsut wanted to do more and more work on it. Now that it is finished we are all glad to have this in the portal.
This has been a great experience to work with all of these talented authors. Its just too bad that I can not co-author all of them, so I would like to thank those who did not make the cut; Dumbassstudios, Flashbound18, Noxx11, Oouch. I don't think I missed anyone else. If I did I am really sorry.
Thank you to everyone that has supported us throughout the production of this video. Also to the creators of the extremely entertaining games; Half Life 2, Portal, and Team Fortress 2.
There are still some minor corrections to be made to the sound, an update with the corrections made will hopefully be up soon.
I hope you enjoy what we have done, and please leave some feedback.
Lacks... everything
I'll admit there was SOME good animation, (especially from Greensinge and Morningdeath), but the music completely screwed it. Thank you to that 'touch', you messed it completely.
I'm sorry but this could have been a lot better. I know i have no uploads but with so many people working on this why is ther no good part. The annimation was choppy and the artwork wasnt too good.
Just horrible.
There wasnt a single Portal joke without "THE CAKE IS A LIE."
Oh how original.
All of the drawings, in my opinion, sucked. The last one was the only slightly good drawn one.
Half of the voice cut out.
The song in the background was just carried on from the menu, and had nothing to do with the Orange Box what so ever.
The one where Alyx dies, or gets attacked by a hunter, you cant see what the hell is going on. It's just plain shit.
I would give good criticism, but I really dont think this deserves it. And it got 3.42? Why? Who voted that? Must have been the people that made it. Voting 5 every day would raise it that much.

The previously announced removal of Reviews and Discussions from application profile pages has now gone into effect.
The removal of Reviews mainly affects developers that solicit reviews for their apps, such as game developers fishing for a five-star rating. By killing the Reviews feature, Facebook is signaling a commitment to surfacing "good" apps only through social discovery.
As for the Discussion tab, Facebook is now encouraging developers to make use of Posts and Comments on their Walls as the best way to encourage conversation:
Facebook's latest platform updates also reveal a new API for retrieving Page Questions and signal the end of App Reviews and Discussions. The API update follows on a previous Questions modification where developers could retrieve questions asked by users via the Graph API. Now developers can access Questions using a Page.
Facebook also set out a list of breaking changes, including info on the OAuth spec migration, Deprecating Dashboard APIs, removing the Bookmark URL, and updating the FB.Canvas.getPageInfo method so that it must be called with a callback function.

But now that I am back home in the comfort of routine, with the busy calendar pushing me onward, I look back on our time as if it were a dream. Did it really happen?
My family and I were very lucky this year to go to Puerto Rico. If you haven't been, might I suggest a trip when you are in the complete blank whites and grays of winter? Wide cloudless blue skies, ocean breezes and beautiful beaches await you there. Seriously.
On one of our days, we kicked around the busy streets of old San Juan. On a whim, I turned down a side street, only to discover this:
Yes, folks. This is real. An entire shop dedicated to poetry. No, it's not a dream. The Poet's Passage is a book store/coffee shop/reading venue/hand painted poetry-related arts and crafts shop in the heart of San Juan, Puerto Rico. (Readings are in both Spanish and English.)
How had I not heard of this place? It does a poet's heart good to see such places existing and thriving. Why aren't there more places like this state-side?
Hmm. Perhaps we need a little magic from San Juan to come back with us to Indiana. Oh, and I'll keep some of that persistent sunshine too.
What have you been up to?

Polices for Environmental Externalities
Sometimes market activities (production, buying, and selling) have unintended positive or negative effects outside the market's scope. These are called externalities. As a policy maker concerned with correcting the effects of gases and particulates emitted by and local power plant, answer the following questions:
1. What two policies could you use to reduce the total amount of emissions?
2. Why do you think they each would work?
3. What would the benefits of each action be (besides emissions reduction)?
4. What would the costs of each action be?
5. How would you decide what was the best level of emission reduction?
Solution Summary
The solution gives several action policy options to reduce emissions and evaluates them in 769 words.

HER2/ErbB2 receptor kinases in Calu-3 cells are known to be constitutively activated. Treatment of Calu-3 cell lysates with λ protein phosphatase (37ºC for 60 minutes) abolished the phosphorylation of HER2/ErbB2 in the lysates shown in both sandwich ELISA and Western analysis. OD 450 readings are shown in the top figure, while the corresponding Western blots, using Phospho-HER2/ErbB2 (Tyr1221/1222) Antibody #2243 (right panel) or HER2/ErbB2 Antibody #2242 (left panel), is shown in the bottom figure.

Product Description
CST's PathScan® Phospho-HER2/ErbB2 (Tyr1221/1222) Sandwich ELISA Kit is a solid phase sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) that detects endogenous levels of phospho-HER2/ErbB2 (Tyr1221/1222) protein. A HER2/ErbB2 Mouse mAb has been coated onto the microwells. After incubation with cell lysates, both phospho- and nonphospho-HER2/Erb2 Receptor proteins are captured by the coated antibody. Following extensive washing, Phospho-HER2/ErbB2 (Tyr1221/1222) Antibody is added to detect the captured phospho-HER2/ErbB2 protein. Anti-rabbit IgG, HRP-linked Antibody is then used to recognize the bound detection antibody. HRP substrate, TMB, is added to develop color. The magnitude of optical density for this developed color is proportional to the quantity of phospho-HER2/ErbB2 (Tyr1221/1222) protein.
Antibodies in kit are custom formulations specific to kit.
Specificity / Sensitivity
CST's PathScan® Phospho-HER2/ErbB2 (Tyr1221/1222) Sandwich ELISA Kit detects endogenous levels of phospho-HER2/ErbB2 (Tyr1221/1222) protein. As shown in Figure 1, using PathScan® Phospho-HER2/ErbB2 (Tyr1221/1222) Sandwich ELISA Kit, a high level of phospho-HER2/ErbB2 (Tyr1221/1222) protein is detected in Calu-3 cells, and the levels are significantly reduced in Calu-3 cells treated with λ protein phosphastase. This kit detects proteins from the indicated species, as determined through in-house testing, but may also detect homologous proteins from other species.
Species Reactivity: HumanBackground
The ErbB2 (HER2) proto-oncogene encodes a 185 kDa transmembrane, receptor-like glycoprotein with intrinsic tyrosine kinase activity (1). While ErbB2 lacks an identified ligand, ErbB2 kinase activity can be activated in the absence of a ligand when overexpressed and through heteromeric associations with other ErbB family members (2). Amplification of the ErbB2 gene and overexpression of its product are detected in almost 40% of human breast cancers (3). Binding of the c-Cbl ubiquitin ligase to ErbB2 at Tyr1112 leads to ErbB2 poly-ubiquitination and enhances degradation of this kinase (4). ErbB2 is a key therapeutic target in the treatment of breast cancer and other carcinomas and targeting the regulation of ErbB2 degradation by the c-Cbl-regulated proteolytic pathway is one potential therapeutic strategy. Phosphorylation of the kinase domain residue Tyr877 of ErbB2 (homologous to Tyr416 of pp60c-Src) may be involved in regulating ErbB2 biological activity. The major autophosphorylation sites in ErbB2 are Tyr1248 and Tyr1221/1222; phosphorylation of these sites couples ErbB2 to the Ras-Raf-MAP kinase signal transduction pathway (1,5).

Buy this skirt!
What a steal when it's on sale. I wish all Limited skirts were made of this material -- it doesn't wrinkle and seems like it will be low maintenance. I am not a fan of ironing so this is perfect for me! I got so many compliments when I wore this. Also love the zip slit!

I saw this skirt online and only decided to purchase it to use my Virtual Dollars. I am SO glad I did! This skirt is phenomenal. The print is fantastic and the material is very stretchy and comfortable. Even though I'm not a fan of the ponte material or unlined skirts, this one is so well crafted and pretty that I am definitely keeping it. I'm wearing it today with the soft orange merino sweater and cognac heels and the look is SHARP and sexy. I have received so many compliments on this skirt. LOVE!
