As toddlers develop friendships, self-esteem, and curiosity, our Early Foundations® Toddler program will help them explore their world in a safe and nurturing environment. Our unique curriculum is based on the philosophy that children learn best through experiences. So each day is filled with fun activities that excite and develop toddlers, giving them the comfort and confidence to speak those first few important words, as well as make their first friends.

As preschoolers gain more self-esteem, they may feel ready to take on the world. Our Early Foundations® Preschool program enhances that confidence by providing activities to help children become problem solvers and lifelong learners. Through independent exploration, structured activities, and hands-on learning, children will work on early literacy, math, science, and social studies concepts. A healthy dose of running, jumping, and dancing keeps them active too.

A Late Summer Scrapbook
Been a busy few days, days that I hoped would include cutting hay. But a trip out of town and a short three day window for cutting, curing and baling left me deciding to postpone. So, we've turned our attention to smaller tasks.
The author Simon Fairlie, in his excellent work Meat: a benign extravagance, makes a brief tantalizing reference to the Japanese method of fermenting their pig slops. I couldn't find anything else on the subject. But armed with my imagination, a fair understanding of The Art of Fermentation, (an essential work by Sandor Katz) and a fifty-gallon plastic garbage can, I went to work.
I drilled a quarter-inch hole in the top of the garbage can lid and inserted a fermentation lock with a gasket. A friend had come over last Saturday and used our cider press. In payment for the use he left me with fifty pounds of pressed apple "cake". I added the "cake" to the can, alternating with hundred pounds of hog meal. This mix was finished off with a ½ cup of kosher salt and enough water to just cover the meal. It was then covered and left to ferment for five days.
Our latest crop of pigs, of which we only have three, have been a bit stand-offish. They have grown slowly and showed little interest in feed. Let me tell you this new feed system has made all the difference. The first day they caught wind of the sweet fermented smell and came running. They have doubled their daily intake of feed. The first pictures are of the fermentation system and the next of some happy pigs.
Earlier this summer I had been reading an "idea" opener of a book, The Market Gardener by Jean-Martin Fortier. He uses a tarp system on his gardens to suppress weeds. It is quite simple and effective. I tried it out on two garden areas. The pictures below show the dramatic change.
This garden had been used to raise greens and turnips last winter. Since that time I have over sown it with seven-top turnips twice, cutting down the greens before they developed seeds. After the second cutting I covered the area with a 30'x50' hay tarp and left it for four weeks. After uncovering and tilling lightly, the area was planted in turnips, kale, rutabagas and lettuce.
These late summer days are also focused on domestic harvest and preservation. We have been making jelly, chutney and wine most weekends and canning tomatoes. Today we will do more of the same. But we will also fire up the smoker and dry the Anaheim and jalapeno peppers.
That is all from the farm this week.
New Sawmill
A rare midweek post: here are some pictures of our new sawmill operation.
Slow Farming
"These were all manufactured so that a man with a little common sense could repair them." We were walking the rows of horse-drawn equipment at an estate auction in Dayton, Tennessee. The comment was made by a neatly dressed farmer from central Georgia. Horse-drawn equipment (and farm equipment in general), though frequently ingenious in design, is straightforward. As the man pointed out, "No need to call an IT center in India."
I'm sure someone has used the phrase already. But I'd like to call what we do "slow farming." Carlo Petrini launched the slow food movement some twenty years ago to fight the rising tide of industrial food processes and their damaging impact on dining and culture in Italy. That movement has blossomed across the globe. And, although subject to some well-placed criticism, on the whole it has benefited civilization—with an emphasis on seasonal produce, local food, preservation of heritage breeds, seeds and traditions, and, most important, a renewed sense of conviviality in our dining rituals.
It occurred to me last week that the label "slow farming" was an apt description of farms like ours. Productivity, efficiency, and moderate profitability are certainly ever-present in our minds. But they also serve the greater end of allowing us to enjoy, savor, care for, and stay on the land. Too often the agrarian mindset loses out to the modern paradigm of profits, extraction, and haste. Yet, like a good pot on simmer, those older impulses bubble slowly to the surface with encouraging frequency.
It should be said that we are no puritans in this movement, both of us still firmly burrowed into the bosom of our lemming-like culture, in its mad dash for the cliff of climate change and resource depletion. But it is possible, at times, to slow down and allow that rush to the cliff to sweep around you.
Here are three slow farm principles for your consideration:
- Take a daily walk—not for exercise, but simply to be in the outdoors, listening to the far-off hoot of a barred owl and watching with friends as the fog rolls into the valley below. Between tasks on the farm, walk up in the woods and harvest some newly emerged chanterelle mushrooms, or blackberries growing free for the grasping, all yours because you made time to slow that mad surge forward.
- Thrift is good for the soul. Creating a useful and tasty dish from a hog's head may not be the most effective use of your time. Likewise, the long hours rendering lard and making lye soap. Building your own kitchen cabinets, milling your own lumber, tilling your own garden, drying herbs, curing meats, and using horse rather than diesel power—all are tasks an economist would suggest are wasteful to the GDP. But what do we care? What do they know?
- Preside over a convivial table. The sheer pleasure of gathering with friends and family to share a dinner of mutton simmered in beef stock and wine, eggplant baked with tomatoes and oregano, and new potatoes with rosemary—every single ingredient from your farm—must surely give pause to our fellow lemmings and cause a few more to slow and turn against that tide.
Reading this weekend: The Table Comes First: Family, France, and the meaning of food. By Adam Gopnik.
A Farm Toolbox: Mattocks
This addition to the toolbox includes a "threefer", a garden mattock, a weeding mattock and a pick mattock. These tools are pulled out of the toolbox when you are serious about the job at hand. Dirt will fly, pigweed will die and clay and chirt will disappear. Just make sure to mind the eyes when swinging the pick mattock.
Pick Mattock: this mattock has an adze on one end and a pick on the other. The mattock sits on a squat three foot handle. We use this to help start or finish digging out large holes. It is also used to excavate trenches. Stand in a wide stance over the hole, raise the mattock to a 45 degree angle and bring it down with force. Good things will happen.
Weeding Mattock: this mattock has a four-inch adze on one end and a two-inch adze on the other. It is attached to a long slender handle. This mattock is perfect for weeding in an established garden, an elegant tool that allows one to reach in among plants with ease. And with that long handle and light business end, I find that it makes light work in the garden of grubbing out intruders.
Garden Mattock: An adze on one end and a cultivator on the other, mounted on a short 12 inch handle this is a one-handed tool. This is my favorite tool to use when doing a quick weeding of the herb garden. Or, one Cindy grabs to clean a flower garden. It has a real heft that allows the adze end to grub out serious taproots. And the cultivating end has tines that are strong enough to work in the toughest soils. A sweet tool made sweeter by the purchase cost of a couple of dollars on a clearance table.
Homestead Tip: a cider mill shreds cabbage. I took fifty pounds of freshly harvested cabbage, cut into quarters and ran it through our cider mill. It took about fifteen minutes. I then salted it and pressed it into the crock. It has been quietly fermenting away in the corner of the library. Pretty nifty!
Bargaining with the rain gods
OK, give us some rain, not too much, not too little, just enough and when convenient…for us. With crazy weather patterns becoming the norm I'm not sure what totem offerings to make to whomever is listening. But I'm willing to try. Just clue me in big guy.
The folks in the UK, I hear, could stand a dry spell. The good people of the Gulf coast could use a month or two to dry out from Noah like deluges, just not too long…. And we've been running low for the year. Not a drought, yet. But edging into the scary zone where you know what can happen. So when a major system kicked up and started firing moisture northwards from the Gulf of Mexico and along a frontal line, we were hopeful.
But after a misting over 24 hours and by yesterday afternoon a mere measly 10th of an inch was in the rain gauge. So late on a beautiful Saturday afternoon, with the skies having parted I was glued to the computer watching stray storms popping up; calculating wind directions, intensity and whether the gods were going to play fair.
For a couple of hours we watched what appeared to be a promising cell fire up on the Cumberland Plateau. An agonizing drift eastward at a glacial pace and it finally crested the ridge of our valley around 6 pm. A nice round ½ inch dropped into the gauge. We'll take what was offered. Do I need to slaughter a lamb or offer burnt offerings?
So after the rain of yesterday I piddled about the farm today, did a bit of fishing, mainly as an excuse to smoke a cigar. And I mulled over an email we had received. Someone wanted advice on leading a more self-sufficient life. I disclaim any authority to answer adequately. But apparently I can't seem to resist the siren call of thinking I have something to say (see below).
So, while I've been a bit useless today, Cindy has been her usual industrious self. She has been cleaning our hive bodies and getting frames ready for our two new bee nuc's. These are ones to replace the four hives lost last year to bad weather and poor management.
5 Guidelines to greater self-sufficiency
Lesson #1: Garden
Start by getting your hands dirty. Plant a garden. Grow what you like to eat. Plunge your hands into the soil, make some notes of what you did and repeat next season. It is not hard. At the end of the season you have some fresh produce, don't waste it. Eat it, save it or compost it.
Lesson #2: Livestock
Start small and raise for your own home consumption. Raise only what you like to eat. It doesn't take a college degree or permaculture certification to raise a hog out for nine months, butcher it and eat well for the next year. Chickens or ducks, a hog or a lamb, can all be raised successfully on a small bit of land.
Lesson #3: Work
We all have more time than we realize. So, use it. You are going to feel better at the end of the year when you have some food in the freezer and in the pantry, I promise. Knowing you can produce food for your family is simply the best feeling.
Lesson #4: Killing and cooking
Get over your squeamishness. You got an extra rooster, learn to butcher. Do it cleanly and humanely and honor it with a really nice dinner with some sides of fresh vegetables you grew.
Lesson #5: Intelligence
Use your brain. Educate yourself on the best ways to do any of the above. Our ancestors have been providing for themselves for thousands of years. Hey, how hard can it be?
The Farm Toolbox: the Rock-Bar
Archimedes may have had a rock-bar in mind when he postulated "Give me a place to stand, and I shall move the earth with it." It is a six-foot iron bar, weighing twenty pounds, with a round flat head on one end and a wedge on the other; a perfect combination of form and function.
A gift from Cindy, on our first Christmas at the farm in 1999, the rock-bar is an absolute essential in the farm toolbox. If you want a quick means test to separate the men from the boys, put a rock bar in their hands and step back and observe. We have had a lot of people volunteer to help on the farm over the years. Your average musclebound gym rat lasts about thirty minutes with the rock bar and indeed most farm work. Whereas that skinny wiry farm kid can use it all day.
Cindy and I can both speak with some authority, having dug hundreds of post-holes, of the accuracy in naming such a tool. When you have dug down through two feet of clay, only to hit a rock, the rock-bar is the only tool to shift it. Raising it high in the air, wedge side down, you bring it down with force, repeatedly. Like practice for a Russian gulag, you break big rocks into smaller rocks. It is hard work but intensely satisfying.
Once your hole is dug and your post is set, flip the bar over to the round edge. As dirt is added to the hole use a rhythmic pounding action to compact the dirt. It requires short brutal strokes around all sides of the post-hole. No substitute tool or action is as effective in firmly seating a post.
When not pulverizing big rocks into little rocks, the rock-bar moonlights as a lever. Got a stock trailer that needs to be shifted or a boulder that needs rolling up hill? It will do it and with minimal effort on your part. Seldom does a day go by without resorting to the rock-bar.
Form, function and even beauty come together when used by the right hands.

With all the press surrounding security breaches lately, you might be wondering how it's possible for your business to operate without getting hacked. We sat down with one of our security experts, Senior Quality Assurance Engineer Chris Wade to ask what you need to know about cyber security, hackers and how to protect your business and yourself.
WWDC: Going Past the Keynote
Apple's Worldwide Developer Conference (WWDC) keynote address has long been a landmark event for anyone following the company. However, WWDC spans an entire week, and the big announcements from the keynote represent hundreds of thousands of hours of work from Apple's development teams. Each day of the conference, Apple engineers present specific details about the new technology that help developers see what new opportunities have opened up, and what practices they'll need to change in the year ahead.
If your only view of WWDC 2015 was the keynote address, you missed out on almost a week's worth of important information for developers. Let's take a closer look at a few features of iOS 9 that didn't make it into those first two hours.
My 10 Step Guide to Winning a Scholarship and Attending WWDC
Recently, I was the lucky winner of an Apple scholarship that allowed me to attend the Apple Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) in San Francisco two weeks ago. Do you hope to attend a future WWDC? Here's my 10 step guide to winning a ticket and attending the massive conference. Note: While these steps seemed to work for me – because hey, I won – your experience may vary.

Why I keep attending WWDC
When I went to my first World Wide Developer Conference (WWDC) at the Moscone Center in San Francisco in 2010, I had several reasons driving me to attend. Personally, as an Apple enthusiast, I wanted to see Steve Jobs in person doing what he did best – using his reality distortion field (otherwise known as his ample charisma). Professionally, I wanted to see the presentations led by Apple engineers talking about the frameworks they wrote. That year, Apple released documentation almost immediately after the keynote, but the sessions weren't released for months afterwards. By attending in-person, I had a leg up. I knew things before most everyone else.
Today, things are different. Tim Cook isn't the showman that Steve was. The session videos are posted the day after, nearly erasing the competitive advantage. So why would I shell out the money, year after year, to attend WWDC?
Google I/O Takeaways: What Android App Developers and Product Managers Need to Know
Once again, Google's annual developer conference has come and gone. Last week, The Nerdery was an official host site of the 2015 Google I/O live stream viewing, and two of our Nerds were lucky enough to travel to San Francisco to attend the conference in person. The list of announcements that came out of the keynote address is long, but the overall feel of this year was a focus on refinement rather than reinvention.
Translating those changes into a product roadmap can be difficult, but we've identified some of the key takeaways for those developing or maintaining an Android application.

Apple WWDC 2015 Predictions
In advance of Apple's annual June spectacle, WWDC (that's Worldwide Developers Conference for the layperson), we thought it'd be fun to pick the brains of our mobile Nerds and learn what they expect to hear from Apple's bigwigs. Introducing our panel:
Jon Rexeisen is a Principal Software Engineer (iOS), veteran of many mobile-focused Nerdery webinars and is attending his sixth(!) consecutive WWDC.
Sarah Olson is a Senior Software Engineer (iOS) attending her first WWDC, thanks to her winning app entry courtesy of Apple's WWDC scholarship competition for members and alumni of select STEM organizations.
Kenton Watson is a Senior Software Engineer (Android) here to shake things up with the outsider's perspective only an Android developer could bring.
Ben Dolmar is The Nerdery's Technology Manager for mobile development.
Security on the Client-side
Whether in a desktop browser or the embedded webview of your favorite social media app, your website is a battleground. Keeping your users and their data safe is one of the most difficult (but important) problems to solve when creating any Internet-connected product. There's plenty to be done to ensure that data stays safe server-side, but your first and last line of defense is client-side.
Why 60% of software projects are at risk before they even start
There are a lot of well-intentioned business owners, product managers and decision makers within organizations who want to make their business better. Some have plenty of money and are ready to spend when they're told they'll see, "a huge ROI because [technology fad of the month] is the next-big-thing." Others have money burning a hole in their pocket while wistfully looking at their competitors, green with envy, and thinking, "Damn, they've just launched a mobile app, and I hear mobile is big with the kids these days. I should probably have an app, too."
But those are just ridiculous statements no self-respecting business person would say. Right? Continue reading Why 60% of software projects are at risk before they even start

THC-Shagg is a modular application to bruteforce check digit algorithms. It can be used to gain information about serial numbers that use check digit algorithms. Once THC-Shagg has analysed a set of serial numbers and found matching check digit algorithms, it is able to generate complete new serial numbers using a saved file containg the matched states. This page demonstrates the use of THC-Shagg in "daily" life and lists some serial numbers, that have been successfully analysed using Shagg [0x02] Documentation THC-Shagg comes with a rather long README file that describes the details about the analysis and generation of serial numbers with check digits. Before you continue, read this file. The README file also lists all available command line options and how to use them. [0x03] Development & Contributions You've found some serial numbers and were able to analyse the check digit algorithms using Shagg. You've some new ideas, you know something about fresh or still un-implemented check digit algorithms. Contribute! And help us making THC Shagg more powerful. Feel free to drop an email to Plasmoid, firstname.lastname@example.com. If you are interested in joining THC, why not write some new classes for THC-Shagg or extend the current version to analyse Web session IDs or other serial numbers? The source code for THC-Shagg is bundled with the current release, so that you can compile it yourself, if you want to. [0x04] Examples Following are examples that are bundled with releases of THC-Shagg. If you haven't unjar'ed the java archive, those examples might be new to you. All examples are artificial and have not been take from the real world. It is necessary to note that especially the fake VISA numbers are artificial and unusable. Serial numbers | Found setup | Matched States File ------------------+-----------------------------+-------------------- Fake VISAs | XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX Mod10 CC | fake-visa.mst MOD10-7 Numbers | XXXXXXXXXXXXXC Mod10 | mod10-7.mst | XXXXXXCXXXXXXC Mod7 | If you like to play with the above examples, you can use the provided files of matched state to generate new numbers from the same type and re-run THC-Shagg over the new numbers: Generating new serial numbers from a matched state file $ java -jar shagg.jar -g mod10-7.mst > new.lst Analysing the new list and store a new file of matched states $ java -jar shagg.jar -s new.mst new.lst Displaying old and new files of matched state $ java -jar shagg.jar -g -L mod10-8.mst $ java -jar shagg.jar -g -L new.mst Usually the states of both files should match, but it is possible that the new file "new.mst" contains even more states. [0x05] Screenshots (1) THC-Shagg displaying analysed check digit configurations for a set of german Personal ID Card numbers. (2) THC-Shagg at work crunching over a set of sample serial numbers. [0x06] Real World Serials The table below shows a list of serial numbers that were success- fully analysed using THC-Shagg. All serial numbers have been found within the web, no persons have been robbed or cheated to give out these numbers. People have put these numbers on private homepages, ebay auctions, etc... We at THC are relatively sure that presenting some of these serial numbers, the check digit algorithm they use and a file for the generation of new serial number is not illegal. However we will remove those serial numbers immediatly, if this turns out to be not lawful. Don't ask for serial numbers such as credit or calling cards as you already know that generating fake credit cards is definitely illegal in _YOUR_ country, wherever you live. Serial numbers | Matched States File ----------------------------------------------+---------------------- IMEI numbers for Nokia mobile phones | nokia-imei.mst EAN UCC numbers for some software products | ean-ucc.mst ISBN numbers for some unix books | isbn.mst Personal ID Card numbers from Germany | perso.mst Keep it shaggin'.

Red Hot Redbox Seeing 40 Rentals Per Second: Infographic
Only days after reporting $363.9 million in quarterly revenue and $79 million in operating income, up 34% and 99% year-over-year, respectively, DVD kiosk company Redbox has released some more impressive figures. With more than 27,000 kiosks spread across the country, the Coinstar-owned service is now seeing an average of 55 million monthly rentals and up to 40 rentals per second.
That's a lot of movies circulating for a service that requires a trip to the local grocery store. But as Redbox's numbers indicate, the company is growing fast, and expanding its reach beyond physical pickups and into the digital world.
According to Redbox, which released a handy infographic to boast of its growth, the company has seen more than 4.5 million iPhone app downloads and more than 2.1 million Android app downloads. Additionally, Redbox.com is now receiving nearly 9 million monthly unique visitors, while it also boasts 30.5 million newsletter subscribers and 2.7 million SMS subscribers.
In other words, consumers aren't just experiencing Redbox at the kiosk—although an estimated 270 million people walk by one each week. Its digital reach provides a healthy foundation in case it ever decides to expand beyond its kiosk competition with NCR's Blockbuster chain, and launch a streaming video service, as reports have suggested.
And for Netflix, the numbers are yet another sign that competition is growing. The streaming and DVD-by-mail service recently caused shockwaves after announcing a price hike, which analysts estimate could cost the company more than two million subscribers—subscribers who could find their way to a Redbox kiosk with the cash saved.

Anybody know the current stats on what the average user spends per rental?
Magic 8-ball says RedBox will be clawing to maintain relevance within another year or 2. With consumer access to on-demand movie packages (i.e. Comcast) and instant gratification subscription packages (NetFlix via Apple TV) I just don't see why people leave their couches once these services go mainstream.
Absolutely agree. I gladly pay $2 extra per rental (Apple TV) so that I don't have to deal with driving to a RedBox, remembering to return it, dealing with whats in stock (and whats not), waiting in line with smelly people, and most of all - never having to deal with a DVD menu again. Plus, its always convenient to pick up a RedBox if you see the kiosk... its never convenient to return it within 24 hours (who goes to Walgreens twice in 24 hours?).
Can't agree with you guys. On demand movies have been available for a long long time, the only barrier to thier success has been the cost. Redbox has a delicate recipe of low cost and location, location, location. Unless you work from home, I guarantee you drive right by a Redbox going to and from work every day of your life. Redbox will be the last and only successful way to get a DVD in your hands and that will last well beyond 2 years. I don't think a streaming solution will complete head to head with Redbox, they are different models and there's enough market perference for both plays. Streaming solutions will be just run of the mill, as they all have been to date until someone comes up that that recipe of being cheap, quality stream to your TV and most importanly have all the premium content people want. With the addition of games and further penetration across the country, and possibilities to expand globally, Redbox will continue to be uber successful.

Svetlana Alpers:
I think it's quite interesting the type of museum that she is discussing in this reading that came prior to the more contemporary museum. She discusses the contents as being artifacts which are/were more generally "craft" items. I wonder if this type of institution and the way that museums were established has influenced how people view craft arts presently. There is definitely a distinct difference between a contemporary art museum today and what a museum was 75 years ago.
Richard Sennett:
It was nice to read descriptions of something different than art and hear a different way of describing a situation. I think it's helpful to see how to write about something from this perspective. There's a certain way that people talk about art and I think we can get stuck in that language sometimes. This was a great example of metaphors and describing the same scenario in different ways.

St. Mary's Gaels vs. Gonzaga Bulldogs Preview and Pick
- Updated: January 23, 2011
St. Mary's Gaels
Gonzaga Bulldogs
The reign of terror for the Gonzaga Bulldogs in the West Coast Conference might be coming to a close on Thursday night in front of their hometown crowd at the Kennel. They'll take on the St. Mary's Gaels is a battle of two of the top teams in the WCC this year in a nationally televised clash on Thursday night.
The Gaels might not have Omar Samhan any longer, but they are still one of the best mid major teams in the country. They'll probably punch their ticket to the NCAA Tournament once and for all if they can pull off this upset, as we know that they are going to coast to at least 24 total victories on the year and probably at least 25 including the West Coast Conference Tournament this year and will have a decent RPI rating to boot. This is a team that runs up and down the court with ease, as it is averaging 82.5 points per game this year. A loss over the weekend to the Vanderbilt Commodores wasn't a huge surprise, but the fact that it was a 19 point setback was definitely a bit of an eyebrow raiser. At least a split against the Zags and the Portland Pilots would be great this week, but a domination of them both is clearly the goal. This is a team that only really goes eight players deep, but all eight men can score, and have put up at least 6.2 points per game this year. They're all averaging at least 13 minutes per game as well, and can all step in and go for 20+ points if given the chance.
Gonzaga has won 10 league titles in a row, but a loss here would really put a damper on things going forward for the rest of this year, and it might put its consecutive seasons streak with a bid to the NCAA Tournament in jeopardy as well. This is largely the same team that made it to the second round of the dance last year, led by Steven Gray, Robert Sacre, and Elias Harris, but none of the three are really putting up the same type of stats this year as they did a season ago. Sacre surprisingly hasn't had a double-double in this calendar year, while Gray is only averaging 12.4 points per game over the course of Gonzaga's last 10 duels. He did, however, put up 20 in an OT loss against the San Francisco Dons over the weekend. Harris has probably had the biggest drop off in production, as he has only averaged 12.3 points per game this year and has scored just 21 over the course of the team's last two defeats. He averaged almost 15 points per game last year.

We're going to be getting a juicy, juicy price on the Gaels here, especially after their loss to the Commodores over the weekend. The tide is clearly changing in the WCC, and St. Mary's is going to prove it with an upset on the NCAA basketball odds at the Kennel on Thursday night.

Of course, not everybody will relish the idea that we should tailor our online identities to the employer's demanding eye. "Why should the culture and norms of the workplace dominate our social life?" asks Marwick. "Most of us have parts of our lives that we don't want to bring up at work." Happily, employers may eventually be forced to adapt to a world where nobody has a perfect reputation.
As for me, I'm just happy that pornographic websites no longer feature in my search results. My online activity has long since driven that content far into Google's backwaters. With any luck, the publication of this article on the web will push it a little further into obscurity.
Bad reputation
Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg famously said that anyone who needs more than one identity lacks integrity. Tell that to these poor souls, who saw their lives suffer thanks to the public and viral nature of the internet
Lawsuit in 140 characters
A Chicago tenant used Twitter to vent her frustration at her landlord. "Who said sleeping in a moldy apartment was bad for you?" she tweeted to her 22 followers. "Horizon Realty thinks it's okay." The landlord in question noted her complaint and responded swiftly - by hitting her with a libel lawsuit. Luckily for her, the judge dismissed the case.
MySpace behaving badly
A trainee teacher in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, was pictured at a party on MySpace holding a cup on which had been written "Drunken Pirate". Though she was of legal drinking age, when her supervisor spotted it, the school removed her from the programme, according to The New York Times.
Tale of the Star Wars kid
If this schoolkid had recorded himself practising his light saber swing in 1975, the VHS tape might have resurfaced at a garage sale, if ever. But he did it in 2002, and when classmates uploaded the footage to YouTube, it went viral. His humiliation escalated into a worldwide taunt, and he dropped out of school. He sued his classmates, who settled out of court, and is now at law school.
De-tag this photo
A nursing student in Kansas decided to amuse her friends by taking a picture of herself with a placenta. Her school was not amused and dismissed her. Though a judge later reversed the decision, the youthful indiscretion might still come back to haunt her. Google her name and there is no search result on the first page without the word "placenta".

The UMass Minutemen took Game 1 of their series with Richmond 5-4 on Friday afternoon in Amherst MA. Travis Munsey drove in Bill Rankin from second base in the bottom of the tenth to pick up a key Atlantic 10 victory. The Spiders and the Minutemen will continue the series at Noon on Saturday. The College Baseball Blog will be heading out to Amherst on Sunday for the series finale.

Playoffs in sight for UMass with sweep
The University of Massachusetts headed to Dayton Ohio this weekend to take on the Dayton Flyers in a key Atlantic 10 showdown. The Minutemen were able to get a key sweep to get them back into the hunt for a spot in the Atlantic 10 tournament. The CBB will be heading to the final game of the UMass-Richmond series this upcoming weekend and will have a full report.
Beanpot Final Preview
The Boston College Eagles (16-21-1) will head to Fenway Park this Wednesday to take on the Northeastern Huskies in the Beanpot Final. BC is coming off a weekend sweep over Wake Forest in which they had walk-off wins on Friday and Saturday, On Sunday, the Eagles offense came together and put an 18 hit attack to blow out the Demon Deacons 11-5. The Eagles will probably send Ted Ratliff to the mound who has been a very solid mid-week starter. He enters with a 4-1 record and a 4.69 ERA.
Northeastern enters Wednesday game with a solid 19-10 record and took two out of three games with Georgia State this past weekend. The Huskies have been getting solid pitching throughout the season with a Team ERA of 4.80. The Huskies are led on offense by Mike Tamsin (.364 BA) and Dan Milano (.351 BA, 8 HR). The Huskies are expected to start Dan Zehr who is 3-2 with a 4.50 ERA.
I would like to see a great crowd at Fenway on Wednesday supporting college baseball in New England. The weather is suppose to be fine and enjoy a day of baseball at Fenway Park. It is not too often that you can get box seats at Fenway for five bucks.
Harvard will not be participating in the consolation game because of a scheduling conflict with Yale. According to the UMass Athletics site, They will take on Holy Cross at 12pm.
BC and Northeastern to meet in Beanpot Final
The Boston College Eagles picked up a 5-2 victory over Harvard in Lynn Massachusetts in the opening round of the 2007 Baseball Beanpot. The Eagles received a complete game from Ted Ratliff who only allowed eight hits and two runs in his nine innings. Boston College was led on offense by Joseph Ayers who went 2-3 with an RBI for the only multiple hit game by a BC player. Harvard used a combination of nine pitchers as they used this game as preparation for their big series against Brown this weekend which will likely decided the Red Rolfe division title. Harvard offensive leader was Brendan Byrne who went 3-4 with a run scored.
BC Recap
Harvard Recap
In the other game in the Beanpot, Northeastern pounded UMass 17-6 at Friedman Diamond to put the Huskies in the Beanpot final next Wednesday at Fenway Park against Boston College. The Huskies used a four run first inning to jump on the Minutemen early and never gave them a chance to get comfortable in Brookline.
Umass gets by Uconn
The UMass Minutemen picked up a 6-4 extra inning victory over UConn on Tuesday. Andy Tuetken led off the top of the tenth inning with a double to left field. Bryan Adamski followed with a sacrifice bunt but the Erik Turgeon of UConn threw the ball into right field which allowed Tuetken to score and Adamski ended up at third base. Ryan Franczek followed the error by hitting a sacrifice fly to center field which gave the Minutemen an insurance run. Adamski pitched the final four innings for UMass to up his record to 2-0 while Will Musson picks up his first career loss for UConn. UMass will be back in action on Friday when they host George Washington while UConn will host URI on Wednesday.
Umass takes care of BC
The UMass Minutemen picked up a comfortable 9-4 victory over Boston College on Monday. Dan Houston started for the Eagles and was roughed up in 5.1 innings while giving up 6 runs (5 earned) He also walked five batters. Jim Cassidy pitched six strong innings while only giving up three runs to up his record to 2-1. Bryan Adamski and Jim McDonald both went 2-4 to lead the Minutemen to the victory. Boston College committed five errors in the game which is unacceptable for a team which is trying to compete for a spot in the ACC Tourney. If Boston College is ever going to have a chance in the ACC they need to step up their defense and start making smart baseball plays.
UMass knocks off Holy Cross
The UMass Minutemen headed to Fitton Field in Worcester MA to take on the Holy Cross Crusaders were they walked away with a 4-3 victory. The Minutemen received a very strong pitching performance from Jim Cassidy who went seven innings while surrendering three hits and only one run. Adam Tempesta led the Minutemen offense with two runs driven in. Tyler Stampone was the only Crusader with a multiple hit game with two hits and a run scored in a losing effort. Holy Cross returns to action on Wednesday when they visit Harvard. UMass will host URI on Friday when UMass head coach Mike Stone goes for win number 500.

Hi! Let's try this...

FORT WALTON BEACH — Associate Pastor Ozzie Bloxson guarantees any-one who watches the Imani Miele Children's Choir next week will be changed forever.
The choir of 25 Uganda children ages 10 through 17 has been touring the United States since March, singing praises and raising funds for their schooling. They will be in Okaloosa County Nov. 6-13.
"People just fall in love with them," said Bloxson, who works at Covenant Community Church. "They have such energy and excitement. It blesses my heart and I know it will bless anyone who sees them."
Performances will be at Striving for Perfection Ministries, Cinco Baptist Church, Trinity United Methodist Church and Covenant Community Church.
In Uganda, going to school costs money, and Bloxson said those in the choir know that education is needed to escape poverty.
"So far, they've raised $30,000," Bloxson said. "They'll be here for two weeks and I'm hoping they'll really be able to get to know our community.
"Since their tour, we've gotten people from Kentucky, Germany, DeFuniak Springs, and here who have already signed up to go to Uganda for the next mission trip. These kids really touch hearts."
Performance schedule:
Wednesday, 6 p.m., Striving for Perfection Ministries, 24 Bass Ave. S.W., Fort Walton Beach.
Nov. 10, 10:30 a.m., Cinco Baptist Church, 26 Yacht Club Drive N.E., Cinco Bayou.
Nov. 10, 4 p.m., Trinity United Methodist Church, 403 Racetrack Road N.W., Fort Walton Beach.
Nov. 13, 7 p.m., Covenant Community Church, 1007 Gospel Road, Fort Walton Beach.

Among the items for ranchers at the Cammack Ranch Supply in Union Center, S.D., is the "Dakota Dart" rifle that can deliver low-dose prescription drugs to cattle without having to round them up. The gun is very accurate at 40 to 60 feet, store owner Gary Cammack says. The technology has been around about five years but has become more popular in the past two years because it saves time and stress. (Mikkel Pates / Agweek)

Chilean giants Universidad Catolica took a very important step towards the Copa Libertadores quarter-finals with a 2-1 win away to Brazilian side Gremio in Porto Alegre on Tuesday night in the first leg of the sides' last-16 clash.
Lucas Pratto was the hero for Juan Antonio Pizzi's side as he netted either side of half-time to set Catolica up nicely for the second leg on 4 May. Pratto put the visitors ahead in the 29th minute, receiving possession from Marcelo Canete before he unleashed a right-foot strike.
Gremio forward Borges was sent off in the 35th minute for striking David Henriquez in the face with an elbow, but Douglas equalised for the hosts with a long-range shot just before the hour mark. The Chileans regained the lead with 15 minutes left as Pratto headed home Rodrigo Valenzuela's cross from the right.
The two-goal hero Pratto said afterwards: "Everybody was talking about Gremio beating us by a number of goals. We beat them on their own turf. We counter-attacked very well. Now, we should not relax. The score is good for us, but we must do our best in the second leg."
Catolica coach Pizzi added: "We beat great opponents. All our lines were solid tonight. We made the necessary difference and had almost no problems during the match."
In Buenos Aires, hosts Velez Sarsfield - who lead the Argentinian Clausura standings - hammered Ecuadorian giants Liga de Quito 3-0. Augusto Fernandez gave Velez a two-goal lead in the opening 11 minutes, adding the final touch to a Santiago Silva cross in the eighth minute to get the ball rolling.
Ten minutes after the break, Sebastian Dominguez headed home an Emiliano Papa cross from the left to give Velez a strong advantage heading into the second leg. Just before Velez's third, LDU midfielder Luis Bolanos was shown a second yellow card, while Neicer Reasco left his team with nine men with 21 minutes to go as he was dismissed for a bad foul on Papa.
Velez midfielder Fernandez told Fox Sports: "Scoring two goals is very important, but winning is even more vital. The three-goal lead is good in this round, but we could have scored one more."
The second leg of this tie will be played on 5 May in Quito.

One of the most beautiful people in show business isn't feeling so pretty. Curled up in her dressing room on the set of the ABC comedy Boston Legal, in which she plays the savvy, smirking attorney Shirley Schmidt, Candice Bergen is wearing gray flannel slacks and a pastel shirt. She's had this outfit on since 5:00 a.m., when she first arrived at work, and it's now noon. "I'll look better in a little while," she says over a lunch of a tuna sandwich and bottled water. "As soon as I wake up." Just another transformation for this child of Hollywood, whose father was the ventriloquist Edgar Bergen, famous for his routine involving a caustic dummy named Charlie McCarthy. Bergen herself started out as a serious actress in films like The Group and Carnal Knowledge before breaking out in 1979 as a comedian in Starting Over. She finally found major fame as a sitcom star, playing the hard-edged newswoman on Murphy Brown.
As she waits to be called back to the set, Bergen kicks off a pair of beaten-up black shoes that she says her husband, businessman Marshall Rose, "just hates" but with which she refuses to part. She and Rose married in 2000, five years after Bergen's first husband, French film director Louis Malle, died from cancer. She and Malle had one daughter, Chloe, now 19, who is Bergen's pride and joy. During our chat, she speaks of Chloe fondly and often as she touches on love the second time around, that pesky battle of the bulge, and what she likes to do besides acting.
Liz Smith: Tell me, are you surprised to be enjoying another wave of fame after all your years in this business?
Candice Bergen: I guess I am because I really didn't plan anything. You know, Murphy Brown came along when I was already over 40 and thought my career as a so-called leading lady was in decline. But then we had a ten-year run, and I am so happy to know it is back on the air on Nick at Nite! I haven't seen myself yet, but I know I'm out there on TV somewhere as Murphy again.
LS: Five years ago, you married the real estate mogul Marshall Rose. Had you ever considered that you'd remarry after Louis Malle died?
CB: No, I thought I wouldn't. Our daughter, Chloe, was growing up, and I thought I'd devote myself to her. But I was so lucky. Now I just pinch myself every day for meeting and marrying Marshall and for being able to live in New York City with him, to travel, and to see Chloe having a swell time in her freshman year at college. I really am blessed. But this marriage is entirely different, in the sense that my two husbands couldn't be more different. One was French and an artist, and the other is American and a businessman and philanthropist. So that's quite a contrast. I've had the best of both worlds, really.
LS: Do you worry that, professionally at least, your best years are behind you?
CB: I don't think much about that sort of thing. I have to confess I'm kind of amazed at how much people care about celebrity and how ambitious they are. It's just not for me. I try to keep perspective about this whole business. I don't know if I could stand the pressure of the kind of fame I had with Murphy Brown. I like my life better now. I feel I have the exact right combination of work and play in my life--though I do find this bicoastal rushing back and forth to be exhausting.
LS: You don't enjoy your jet-set life?
CB: I like to travel, I do, but I also like to live just an everyday life in New York and see my friends and see Chloe whenever I can.
LS: Did Chloe ever want to act? Did you and your late husband encourage her in that direction?
CB: No, we kind of did not. But now she's at that stage where she's considering everything, so I guess it's a possibility. She is already a wonderful writer, so we'll see what she decides. I'll support her no matter what she does. Honestly, Liz, she is so sublime. I'd rather spend time with her than with anyone else I know.
LS: What do you do when you're not working? Do you pamper yourself?
CB: I don't think I pamper myself. I've never even been to a spa, really! Though occasionally I try to have a facial. At the moment, I'm concentrating on losing about 15 pounds. But you know there's really only one way to do that, and it's to cut back on what you eat--and I have to tell you, it is really hard not to eat! I walk every day when I'm in New York, and I like to take our dog to Central Park, but I know I need to do aerobic exercises and get my heart rate up. I know, I know. Now if I would just do it!
LS: How do you feel about plastic surgery? Is it something you approve of?
CB: Well, of course I approve! It would be dishonest for me to say otherwise--I have had some Botox and some plumping up done, but I am trying to avoid the actual "lift." I don't want to look like some of these people who have frozen faces and ears. Some people go too far with it...but maybe I haven't gone far enough?
LS: Well, I think you look just great on Boston Legal--and very stylish too. Did you have a lot of input in your character's appearance?
CB: I just said I wanted to try to cover up as much of myself as possible until I lose these 15 pounds, and the costume designer had great ideas for how to do that. I think my character looks pretty good, considering what I'm trying to camouflage.
LS: It's amazing to me to recall that for a long time, people didn't think of you as a comedian because you started out as a dramatic actress. Which type of role do you prefer?
CB: I like doing comedy so much more than serious stuff. My career really changed after Lorne Michaels let me host Saturday Night Live in 1975, which was so unexpected. I don't know why he thought of me, but I knew I could be funny. I was always sort of a clown, privately--in a snarky, smart-aleck kind of way.
LS: Are you hopeful that you'll be on TV for another ten years?
CB: Well, Boston Legal is not as demanding as Murphy was for me. I love doing it; David Kelley writes the most wonderful scenes for all his characters. And this woman I am playing is just terrific. Someone described her to me as "mean," but I don't think of her that way at all. She is mature and knowing, she is hardheaded and tough-minded, but she isn't mean. And it is just great to play opposite Bill Shatner and James Spader. But I don't know if I could do another decade of work! There are other projects I'm working on. I've always loved photography, and I do still fool around with taking pictures. I'm working on two books, actually--one about photography and another on Charlie McCarthy.
LS: Well, you've certainly got a lot on your plate. But you're still a spring chicken. You haven't even turned 60!
CB: Not yet. I just turned 59, and I am always willing and ready to learn. So we'll see what happens next!

CGM Partners of London claims it can run a diesel engine on fuel made from dried algae (W0 95/24548).
Chlorella algae are bred in a photobioreactor, made from a transparent tube wound round a core, filled with a nutrient "soup" containing bicarbonate, nitrates and nitrites and illuminated by natural light. The algae form a slurry, which is dried in a centrifuge and ground into fine particles. The particles are dried and the powder suspended in a stream of air and blown into the fuel inlet of a diesel engine. The air mix burns like diesel oil, but produces an exhaust which is rich in nitrogen dioxide. This is fed back into the bioreactor, to feed the next generation of algae.
The inventors suggest starting the engine with pure diesel oil, and then adding algae until the system is running on algae alone. They say they have run an engine at ...

The media seems to thrive on establishing polarization within our United States. I have written letters previously on this subject. The May 28 edition of this newspaper is another example as to how information is emphasized in a misleading way.
On the front page, in the promo space on the top of the page, was the following: "Doing very well. CEOs got an average $10.5M pay raise last year. Nabors Industries Anthony Petrello was highest paid at $68.2M./9A." To someone who didn't get a raise last year, may not have had a job or was living on a fixed income, such an increase as $10.5 million is bound to get his blood boiling.
But if the reader took the time to read the reference on page 9A he might get a different perspective. The article is titled: "Stock market boosts CEOs' median pay." In the second paragraph: "The head of a Standard & Poor's 500 company earned a record $10.5 million, an increase of 8.8 percent from $9.6 million in 2012 ..." The year-to-year increase was $900,000 which is a far cry from $10.5 million cited on the front page. This is still a big number to those listed earlier who did not get a pay raise.
So would your editorial staff explain which of these two articles are correct?
And before we run out and tar and feather Petrello, the page 9 article explains that "... Petrello's pay ballooned as a result of a $60 million lump sum that the company paid him to buy out his old contract." Sounds familiar doesn't it. This is something like what happens in professional sports when a team buys out a player's contract.

Modified Mustangs & FordsHow To Chassis Suspension
Open Track! - Ford Racing
Take Your Ford Onto The Road Course For A Chance To Test Your Car And You
Like drag racing, open track is not for everyone. However, more and more shows are having open track or autocross-style driving events linked to their shindigs every year. For instance, the Mustang 40th has an open track event running April 15-18 during the show . We've done the open track deal several times and enjoyed all our experiences behind the wheel.
So what is open track? Well, open track is an event where folks of varying skill levels take to a road course and run it at varying speed levels. For instance, in the novice class you might only be able to run 60 mph tops on the course, 80 mph in the intermediate class, and so on. Open track is not only fun, it also teaches you about yourself and your car.
Tech MeYou'll need to get your ride inspected and approved by the track staff. All loose stuff must be out of the car. Your spare needs to be either out or tied down. If you are running center caps or hubcaps you'll need to remove these. The forces you will be putting on the wheel and tire package will send the wheel covers scurrying for the roadside if not. The interior needs to be clear of all loose items like soda cans, cell phones, and old copies of Mustang and Fords.
Things you'll need and want1. Water: For you more than the car. If you are out in the heat doing this (and you will be at most shows) you'll want to have a steady supply of the wet stuff-and, no, we don't mean soft drinks.
2. Helmet: An absolute requirement for most classes. The only class that won't need one are the folks who do the parade lap.
3. Air Tank: This is some times referred to as an air pig. You'll want it to boost your tire pressure before heading out to the grid.
4. Food: At some events there may not be concessions, and even if there are you may find yourself paying big bucks for a burger and fries.
5. Tools: Things break, 'nuff said.
6. Jack and jackstands: See above.
7. Spare Brake Pads: you'll use a lot of brakes on the track.
8. Long Pants: They won't let you race in shorts.
9. Raceable Shoes: combat boots and work boots are not going to help you negotiate the track, get some small, light running shoes.
10. Tires: We recommend a better tire than a standard street radial.
Viva Las Vegas!While at Mustang Monthly we completed a project on a '72 Mach 1. The car looks totally stock on the outside, but is built to perform. Urethane bushings are at all four corners, the engine has been massaged to 338 horses, and the rear gear bumped to 3.73:1 using an Auburn locker. We are in debt to Orlando Mustang's (407-688-1966, www.orlandomustang.com) Pete and Peter Giesler for towing the "Lazarus Project" from Orlando to Las Vegas and back, as well as fixing some of the minor problems that affected the chassis via a super front-end alignment. We can't thank the whole team enough for their kindness and helpful attitude during the event.
The Devil is in the details, and he sure showed up in Vegas. We found the strut rods on the '72 were not tightened down. The malady lays squarely at the feet of the editor for this one. I should have double-checked everything, but didn't. After the suspension was tightened up, the car tracked and ran better. Thanks to Peter's help, we got the problem squared before the next round.
After the strut rod "incident," I was back on track and moving fast-for a car with 30-year-old suspension technology and street radials. In fact, I was moving so well I was actually closing on a '01 Bullitt Mustang. The problem was I began to get a serious thump up front on the driver side. I backed off and went behind the wall-again. A lesson was learned here: never run open track with "S" speed-rated tires. I had separated a belt on the tire due to the extreme linear pressures I had been applying to the tires. A better bet would have been Z rated radials.
