Support & Training
In preparation for the holidays, ITS' Technology Security Services would like to remind you to turn off your computer while you are away from the University. Turning off your computer is an important step for these and other reasons:
- If a new security patch comes out and you've forgotten to activate your automatic security updates features, your computer will not be compromised while you are away.
- If there is an existing security vulnerability that your computer is already susceptible to, it will not get infected or broken into over the break. Keep in mind, however, that it is important to update your computer's security features as soon as you return from the break!
- It will help save energy and help make you a good University citizen! For even greater power savings, turn off the monitor, printer, speakers, and other peripherals, and unplug the computer or turn off the power strip it is connected to.
If you need to leave your computer turned on to work remotely while the University is closed, you can take these steps to save energy:
- Turn off your monitor and printer and any peripherals (your computer's speakers, for example) that you will not be using.
- For additional computer energy savings recommendations, check the NYU Facilities & Construction Management website at http://www.nyu.edu/fcm/cesfaq.htm.
And remember that the Policy on Responsible Use of NYU Computers and Data applies whether you're working in your office or working from home. Take a few minutes to reacquaint yourself with it: http://www.nyu.edu/its/policies/responsibleuse.html.
ITS recommends that individuals and departments update their voice mail greetings to reflect their status during the Recess. We suggest that you explain that the University is closed, including the dates, and whether or not you will call in to retrieve messages during the holiday. You can also use the NYUHome Vacation Message service to alert those who send you email as to your status during the holiday period. For directions on changing your voice mail greeting and setting an automatic email notification, see http://www.nyu.edu/its/coverage/#prepare.
If you are an NYU faculty or staff member or student employee, the University will soon be mailing your 2009 Form W-2 to you. Check the address on your paycheck or Payment Image (available via the Payment Image Viewing channel on the Work tab in NYUHome), and if necessary update your address no later than Jan. 8, 2010 to ensure timely receipt of your W-2.
You can easily update your address using ePASS. To do so, log in to NYUHome using your NYU NetID and password, click on the Work tab, and click "Login" in the ePASS Employee Self-Service channel. Enter your NetID and password when prompted, then click the "ePASS: Employee Self Service" link, click "Home Information" in the left-hand menu, and make your changes. Your new information will be updated in the Human Resources/Payroll database within two days.
Please note that all University faculty, staff members, and student employees should complete this process.

Japanese Puzzle Quilt
Christmas has come and gone --- got the message --- but I wanted to highlight the Japanese Puzzle Quilt wall hanging that is behind the tree. I made it several years ago after eyeing the design in a quilt shop in Berkeley. At the time, my grandmother gave me a stash of kasuri fabrics from Japan --- gorgeous dyed wovens that are quite popular here. Interestingly, kasuri fabrics can be pretty pricey and valuable these days, but in the past, kasuri clothing was worn in the countryside as a durable and less expensive alternative to other fabrics. One reason for the increase in value is that the kasuri weaving method requires precise skill, and the number of artisans who are able to make this fabric has diminished --- it is truly a dying art.

The Best New Exercises for Every Part of a Man's Body
By: Adam Campbell, M.S., C.S.C.S.
Cable Face Pull with External Rotation
The benefit: Works your upper back's scapular muscles and the rotator cuff muscles of your shoulders. Collectively, these muscles, which tend to be weak in most guys, are the key to stable, healthy shoulders and a strong upper body.
How to do it: Attach a rope to the high pulley of a cable station (or a lat pulldown station) and grab an end with each hand. Back a few steps away from the weight stack until your arms are straight in front of you. In one movement, pull the middle of the rope toward your eyes as you flare your elbows out, bend your arms, and squeeze your shoulder blades together. (Your hands should end up in line with your ears.) Pause, then reverse the movement back to the start.
No weights? You can still build your upper back, with a body-weight exercise called the Floor Y Raise.

PAHRUMP, Nev. (AP) - A teenager's journal entry has led to the arrest of a 24-year-old man in Pahrump on lewdness and statutory sexual seduction charges.
The Nye County sheriff's office says 24-year-old Constantino Cardenas Jr. was arrested over the weekend after reportedly confirming the written accounts.
Authorities say an investigation began Friday when dispatchers received a report that a 15-year-old girl had written about having sex with Cardenas in her journal.
In an interview with investigators the girl said she had been having a sexual relationship with him for two years, beginning when she was 14 years old.

Hello- the site is trailheadcounselling.com and as you will see, I've modified the size of the brand image. The layout of the whole siteis based on the width of the brand image, so I don't want to change that. (eg the sidebar is mapped right underneath the brand image)
The problem is that the menu items: Home, About, Counselling Fees etc. OVERLAP the brand image at 768-800px width, and the little phone menu overlaps the brand image at 240px width (screen size)
You can test it here:http://mattkersley.com/responsive/
I designed the site on a very wide screen, so didn't notice this problem till the very end, and now it's all designed, but buggy.
I would like to shrink the menu responsively. What can I do?
Thank you.

This is a decision that makes little sense to anyone but the Taxi and Limousine Commission and Mayor Bloomberg. Nissan's proposal supposedly came out ahead in the taxi of tomorrow competition of its competitors from Ford or Karsan and it is expected to win the right to field the taxi fleet for New York City in coming years.
The Daily News reported last week that the Nissan bid received the highest score in the competition based on design features like interior legroom and durability.The Karsan was a more flexible interior with the ADA compliance thrown in. Moreover, Karsan had announced that they'd build a factory to manufacture the taxis in Brooklyn, giving a boost to the local economy on top of the features that mean much to those who use taxis on a regular basis.
Bloomberg and Taxi and Limousine Commission Chairman David Yassky in November revealed that Nissan was among three finalists in the competition, along with Ford and Turkish carmaker Karsan.
At the time, officials said the winner would get a 10-year contract giving them exclusive right to make and sell yellow cabs to city hacks and fleet owners.
An interior shot of the Nissan cab.NYC Taxi and Limousine Commission
The choice is bound to be controversial. While there are 13,200 yellow cabs, only about 240 are handicapped accessible. Advocates saw the competition as an opportunity to increase the mobility for the estimated 50,000 wheelchair users in the city, along with many others who have difficult walking.
Advocates for the disabled have been pushing for the Karsan design because it featured ramps that mechanically extend from both sides of the vehicle. Its design also featured a see-through roof, offering new vertical vistas for everyday riders and tourists.
Large fleet owners wanted the Ford Transit Connect, another van that has been used for commercial purposes in Europe and has been approved for use as a cab in U.S. cities like Boston.
Either way, the taxi of the future won't be on the road anytime soon.
I expect that the decision will come under tremendous scrutiny and that local politicians will demand a review - particularly those from Brooklyn who lost out on the opportunity for the factory and the jobs and impact on the local economy.
Moreover, the only reason I can see the Karsan project losing is that it simply wasn't a household name among carmakers as compared to Nissan.

Well, looks like Mondo has off and done it again. The collectible art division of our beloved Alamo Drafthouse Cinema has a new series of posters dedicated to the work of Paul Thomas Anderson, and they're knockouts. Mondo artist Aaron Horkey curated the series; after the jump, you can see their posters for Boogie Nights, There Will Be Blood, Magnolia, Punch Drunk Love, and Hard Eight (aka Sidney), along with Horkey's thoughts on the pieces and the artists responsible.

So Bad It's Good: '80s Rock and Killer Ninjas Meet in 'Miami Connection'
Bad movies are not a simple matter. There are nearly as many categories of terrible movies are there are for great ones: there are films that are insultingly stupid (Batman & Robin), unintentionally funny (The Room), unintentionally, painfully unfunny (White Chicks), so bad they're depressing (Transformers), and so on. But the most rewarding terrible movies are those we know as So Bad They're Good—entertaining in their sheer incompetence, best braved in numbers, where the ham-fisted dramatics and tin-eared dialogue become fodder for years of random quotes and inside jokes. And in this spirit, Flavorwire brings you a new feature, So Bad It's Good.

Incredible Mondo Posters Celebrating the 2013 Academy Award-Nominated Films
We're big fans of Mondo, the art division of the Alamo Drafthouse that creates limited edition posters honoring classic and contemporary films. They've also got a few vinyl movie soundtracks and VHS re-releases up their sleeves (and they sell tees). Mondo's latest offering is a collection of posters tied to nominated movies in select Oscar categories. The Austin-based gallery was kind enough to give us a preview of some of the artworks, which we've featured in our gallery. Several regular Mondo contributors like Olly Moss, Tyler Stout, and Jay Ryan wooed us with their versions of Django Unchained, Moonrise Kingdom, Best Picture winner Argo, and more.

Patton Oswalt and Jason Reitman Parody Anti-Texting PSA
For film geeks like us, one of the most exciting new releases of the past year wasn't a movie at all — it was a wonderful anti-texting PSA created by the fine folks at the Alamo Drafthouse back in June in response to some really annoying behavior from one of their patrons. For some reason, Patton Oswalt and his Young Adult director Jason Reitman have decided to do their own version of the viral clip, with Oswalt taking on the juicy role of the Angry Texter. Put on some headphones (there's quite a bit of swearing) and click through to check out their version now; be sure to let us know in the comments how you think it stacks up against the original.

Open Thread: How Far Is Too Far in Film?
Fantastic Fest, the genre film festival held annually in Austin, Texas (primarily at a Flavorwire favorite, the Alamo Drafthouse), kicked off last Thursday night, with one of this year's most notorious entries running right off the bat: The Human Centipede 2 (Full Sequence), the clamored-for-by-no-one follow-up to the 2010 geek show (and South Park target) The Human Centipede. That film portrayed, in graphic detail, the "100% medically accurate!" (uh huh) story of a mad scientist obsessed with, um, unorthodox surgery. (I'll just accept my "understatement of the year" award now, thanks.) The sequel is the tale of a loathsome mental case obsessed with the first film (meta!), though, by all reports, its "story" is primarily a clothesline upon which to hang writer/director/sociopath Tom Six's depravity.
Reviews, even among the open-minded Fantastic Fest crowd, were not kind. FEARnet's Scott Weinberg called it "one of the most overtly, oppressively, and depressingly puerile experiences you'll ever have with a movie," and wrote that the film "is more than content to be the indie horror flick version of a low-rent carnival sideshow: at first you want to see how much ugliness you can take, but eventually it all becomes too base, too grueling, and too miserable." (For his part, Movies.com's Eric D. Snider ingeniously penned "A Proper Gentleman from 19th Century England Reacts to Seeing Human Centipede 2" — ya know, "I fear'd lest the gentlewomen in attendance should faint dead away from the shock of it!"). Weinberg raises an interesting point, and — truth be told — about the only credible explanation for the first film's success (or at least, success enough to warrant a sequel): the presence of that "carnival sideshow" element in modern genre cinema, pushing moviegoers to ask themselves how much they're willing to watch.

Cool Faux-Vintage 'Captain America' Posters
When we first received these gorgeous, propaganda-style posters for this week's Captain America: The First Avenger, commissioned by the Alamo Drafthouse and Mondo, we hesitated to share them — merely out of the fear that a post dedicated to them would amount to little more than a commercial for a big new release. Then we got a look at the movie itself, and figured what the hell, we'll shill for it — since it's a work of pure pop bubblegum pleasure, one of the most unabashedly enjoyable pictures in many a moon. (If it is outgrossed by Transformers 3-D, then Americans have lost their will to be entertained.)
One of the many ways that the film sets itself apart from its lesser comic-book movie brethren is in its unique period setting and distinctive production design; as you've probably gathered from the trailers, the bulk of the narrative is set in 1942, with Captain America taking on Hitler (specifically, a rogue wing of the Nazi army). That's why these promotional posters in WWII propaganda art style, as devised by artists Olly Moss, Tyler Stout, and Eric Tan, are so ingenious — they not only promote the picture, but encompass its jazzy aesthetic. Check them out after the jump.

Help Save the 'Bottle Rocket' Motel
When they learned that the Days Inn on I-35 in Hillsboro, Texas — the motel that prominently featured in Wes Anderson's debut feature film Bottle Rocket — was in danger of shuttering, the good people at the Alamo Drafthouse decided to help save it by robbing a book store, and then going on the lam.… Read More
The Best Movie Theaters in America
Last week, in singing the praises of the cool original posters for the Alamo Drafthouse's "Rolling Roadshow" series, your author offhandedly noted that the Alamo is "arguably the greatest movie theater in the country." (And keep in mind, this proclamation was made before the anti-texting PSA heard 'round the world). Our editor, being a good editor and all, posed the reasonable question, "Well, is it?" And so we started asking around.
Come to find out, people are very passionate about their favorite movie theaters. After carefully surveying friends and colleagues from all over the country, we managed to get a list of the country's best down to a manageable dozen houses, based either on the quality of presentation, the eclecticism of the programming, or both. These days, when too many movie theaters are, to paraphrase Ebert, value-added popcorn stands, these venues deserve kudos for still striving to make movie-going an experience. Check them out after the jump, and if we left off your favorite, we're certain you'll let us know in the comments (UPDATE: And that you did, and we listened–read part two of this list here.)

Elements of the Rapid Intervention Unit in Douala and those of the Eighth District Police Station have recovered an Italian-made automatic pistol from armed robbers.
The story goes that two armed men on board a motorcycle tried in vain to burgle the SAFANA Petrol Station at the ELF Axe Lourd Neighbourhood at about 3am on Monday. They took two petrol station workers hostage with the help of the gun, ordering them to lie on the floor. Their orders were obeyed by the petrol station workers. However, the two armed robbers were panic-stricken when they noticed that the police was closing up on them. The eight-milimetre Napoleon model automatic pistol fell off from the hands of one of the bandits while his friend rode off at breakneck speed. The ESIR team led by Police Inspector, Emmanuel Christian Melingui, took the gun to the Superintendent, where investigations have been opened to arrest the members of the gang.

Church-based, independent Baptist Jewish outreach ministry of Victory Baptist Church in Weatherford, TX.
Set up under the local church authority, we are not a parachurch ministry with strong Baptist doctrine and practice.
Since 1993, the mission of OTMI is for churches of like faith to catch the vision of reaching Jewish people in their area with the Gospel. Once they are saved, we seek to help Jewish believers become part of the church.
This course consists of four class sessions (1 to 1 1/2 hour each), one homework assignment, and four outside activities. We seek to train your church members who have a burden for Jewish souls to be more effective in their witnessing. The key to evangelism (Jew or Gentile) is Holy Spirit-led-witnessing.
A well-conducted prophecy conference heightens the sense of urgency of individuals and congregations. Such conferences provide Christians with a solid Biblical foundation from which to view world events. Olive Tree Ministry can organize a prophecy conference at your church or Philip may speak at a conference you have organized.
Olive Tree Ministry sponsors scholarships at four Bible colleges: Arlington Baptist College, Baptist Bible College, Massillon Baptist College, and Norris Baptist Bible Seminary. Applicants from any of these schools should read both the general OTM requirements document and the requirements specific to their school before applying for the scholarship.

This nitty gritty, down-and-dirty two pack goes into the science of yuckiness. Dirt presents a selection of works that share dirty attitudes: essays, interviews, excavations, and projects that view dirt not as filth but as a medium, a metaphor, a material, a process, a design tool, a narrative, a system. History of Shit is emblematic of a wild and adventurous strain of 1970s theoretical writing that attempted to marry theory, politics, sexuality, pleasure, experimentation, and humor.
Dirt, edited by Megan Born, Helene Furján, and Lily Jencks. Paperback. 330 Pages. 315 color illustrations. 60 black and white illustrations. History of Shit, by Dominique Laporte. Paperback. 175 Pages.

Movie Website Updates for March 17 - March 23
March 23rd, 2006
Akeelah and the Bee - Official Site
Good site with all the usual features, (synopsis, cast & crew bios, trailer), as well as extras like clips from the soundtrack and a couple of games. Add in enough sound and animated and the site stands out, but not enough to be an award winner.
Alien Autopsy - Official Site
The flash site is up and it has a very unique format. To find the content up must perform an autopsy on the alien. So far the regular features are there, (synopsis, cast & crew bios, image gallery, and the trailer), as are two games, Blag and Bowling. It will be interesting to see what the last game is about, as well as whether or not will be the site used for the North American release.
American Dreamz - Official Site
New intro, but no new content.
American Gun - Official Site
The trailer was added to the site just the time for tomorrow's opening.
The Break-Up - Official Site
There's a new trailer over on Apple.com and I have to say it is a whole lot better than the old one. I'm still not entirely sold, but it could be good.
Cars - Official Site
Sally is now in the showroom.
Clerks 2: The Passion of the Clerks - Official Site
Two more clips were added this week upping to total number to 54.
The Devil Inside - Official Site
So far the site has a synopsis of sorts, image gallery, trailer and a message board that is not very busy.
Friends with Money - Official Site
The flash site is up but outside the usual features, (synopsis, cast & crew bios, image gallery, and trailer), there's not much here to see. The most unique feature are the character bios. It's simple, it's effective, but it is not award worthy.
The Inside Man - Official Site
The flash site finally worked for me, and it was worth the wait. There's the usual features of course, synopsis, cast & crew bios, production notes, image gallery and trailer. Also, there are a number of extra, mostly in the form of video clips such as 5 TV spots, 6 clips and an amazing 30 interview clips with 8 members of the cast & crew. There's also the Enhanced Experience trailer, which is the full trailer interspersed with clips from the film. Finally, there are two extras, (Hostage Crisis Simulator and History's Greatest Heists), both of which are currently marked coming soon. I'll check back later in the day to see if they were added. If they are, and they are of high enough quality, then this could very well be the best site on this week's list. Just checked and the Hostage Crisis Simulator has been added. It's not bad, but there's no real branching in the six questions. Even so, the site is still the best on this week's list and the winner of the felonious Weekly Website Award.
Larry the Cable Guy: Health Inspector - Official Site
A couple of interesting updates, neither of which appear on the site. Firstly, there is an charity auction over on E-Bay to buy the LarryMobile. Secondly, there are three more clips that can be found here, here, and here.
Monster House - Official Site
The site has a new look, but outside the synopsis and the trailer, there's no real content.
Nacho Libre - Official Site
The first of 8 video journals were added to the site. Look for about one update a week from now till the movie opens, hopefully. They could also wait a month or two before trying to squeeze in several updates at once, but that would be a mistake.
Silent Hill - Official Site
Downloads featuring some of the creepier characters were added to the site.
Slither - Official Site
Greetings from Wheelsey was added to the site, only now it's called Slug Your Friends. It's you average e-card.
Stay Alive - Official Site
The movie opens tomorrow and the cast & crew bios and the production notes are still marked coming soon. The most unusual feature of the site is the interactive tour of the house, but it is not interactive enough, nor long enough, to be truly effective.
Stoned - Official Site
The site as a new look for tomorrow's North American release. This site as all the usual features and a style that really works for it. I really like background music, but given the subject matter, it's not surprising that the music rocks.
These Girls - Official Site
Most of the usual features are here, (minus the bios), as well as a bit of sound and animation. Enough to not be boring, but not enough to stand out in a crowded field. One last note, I really like the song used for background music.
Yesterday Was a Lie - Official Site
The featurette was added to the interview section. Two updates in two weeks, does this mean the release date nears?

LCC members can find out how to vote here.
What happens at the AGM & Campaigners' Conference?
LCC's all day AGM and Campaigners' Conference is not just an occasion for regular AGM business such as approving the audited accounts; it's also an opportunity for LCC members to debate and shape the future of the organisation and how we operate – from deciding what policies we believe in to what specific campaigns and projects we should run.
The AGM is the charity's ultimate decision-making body. Members can bring to it motions on any topic they feel is important to our future and to the achievement of our goals with every member in attendance at the AGM being entitled to vote. This year a number of important motions have been submitted, from tidying up our constitution to setting the direction of our campaigning over the next 12 months. You can read about them here.
But the event is not just about such formal decision-making. The annual conference part of the day is an important forum for members and non-members alike to engage in debates and discussions about how we conduct our work and the political environment we operate in, and how we can inform, learn from, and support each other so as to maximise our effectiveness as a whole.
The Particular Role of Local Groups
LCC local groups represent the charity's core activist base. Members of LCC local groups are especially encouraged to attend the AGM to participate in the debates and discussions. There is also a programme of workshops on the day especially designed to assist local groups in developing their campaigning, identifying and solving future challenges for grassroots campaigning, and sharing ideas and innovation. We will also be celebrating the wonderful work that local groups do through our 2014 Campaigner Awards.
Got a Question about the AGM?
Enquiries about the AGM and Annual Conference should be sent to email@example.com.

Cask Ale Abounds
Ihave been asked to offer some insight into what we plan to do at Mad Fox Brewing Company with regard to cask ale. First let me explain my history of cask ale in the DC Metro market. My first attempt at making cask ale was with Capitol City Brewing Company, Capitol Hill in 1996. I hadbeen encouraged to produce cask ale by a good friend and patron of CCBC (in fact one of the first paying customers at the first CCBC location in 1992!), Barton Day. Barton possesses a true passion for cask ale and introduced me to the real deal at the Great British Beer Festival in London, but that is another story. Well, back to my first attempt, I got hold of a Golden Gate keg since, in those days, true English firkins were hard to come by. I had filled the keg with ESB, primed it with fermenting wort and fined it, taking great care to not disturb the "cask". My assistant brewer and Igently movedthe "cask" of ESB to the bar, put it in stillage andspiled it. The beer poured a beautiful crystal clear and the first pints were wonderful. I told the bartenders how to pour this special product and asked them to please not move the "cask" whichwas poured from atop the copper bar. Next thing I see isthe bar back coming on shift and the first thing he did was pick up the "cask" and move it to the service bar. At this point it was mud and I was frustrated. I was thendetermined to do this right and later had a weekly Friday nightcask at CCBC at Shirlington when I moved over to that location in 1997 which lasted until I moved on in 2004. I believe the brewers at CCBC are doinga cask nightagain. I also had a regular cask ale program at my last gig with Vintage 50 Restaurant and Brew Lounge in Leesburg, Virginia. We were so committed to cask ale that a firkin was on tap at all times andwe never ran out. It was amazing that the demand for this product was so high and, as such, we were pouring 3 plus firkins of real ale per week, sometimes more. All brings me to Mad Fox Brewing Company, our new brewpub now under construction in Falls Church, Virginia. We havebeen working with Paul Pendyck at UK Brewing Supplies to design a superior real ale kit. We have on order six water jacketed English-made Angram hand-pumpsdesigned into the backbar mill work for a beautiful display and have searched for the right size refrigerated cabinets so we can have the firkins on display. We have 50 firkins on order as well to ensure that we can keep a good reserve and maybe while away some gems for future vintagetappenings. The concept is not to necessarily have all six hand pumps working at the same time with different products but to have at least 3 or more on with backups at the ready, perfectly conditioned, so that when a cask runs out we turn the clip around on one and turn another aroundto beon. Nothing worse than running out during Friday night rush and that poor bar back rushing around to put a "fresh" one on that has not had the time to be properly conditioned. Cask ale is not something to be rushed, it would not be proper! More to come, Cheers, Bill

You can now video conference, instant message, email, social network, share files from your mobile smart phone…oh yeah, it also makes calls. Not only can you use it to set up a meeting, it will tell you how to get there with its GPS and maps. Televisions are now computers, dialed into the internet, streaming media, news and communication to the audience. You can reach that audience if you know how…or if you know Motion Notion.
Motion Notion is a full service production house that can consult and produce media for the ever-changing demands of reaching your audience. Your audience is demanding change, how will you respond?
You dream. So do your clients and or your customers. The difference between a dream and a reality is that reality is a tangible thing. You can talk about your product or service to nauseam but show your client your ideas and they will remember them. Make your dream seem real to the client and they will sign on. Three dimensional imaging and animation can bring that to another step. Instead of showing one image to a client showing a movie can hit a number of your client's senses. A full production can play on the senses of your client and wrap them up in your dream. Even a theoretical product or idea can seem real with the right production. Marry animation with an interactive presentation such as flash, or produce an app for iPad, iPhone or another mobile device and suddenly your client is using your product, in some cases before you even produce the actual product.
Motion Notion is a full service production house that can consult and produce presentations that will turn your dreams into reality.

Today in Madison: Joint Finance considers tuition freeze, taxpayer funding
Lawmakers are meeting today (May 23) in Madison to discuss a proposed UW System tuition freeze, as well as taxpayer funding for the System and its member campuses. The Joint Finance Committee is likely to write a two-year tuition freeze into the budget, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports, and also will discuss how much taxpayer money to provide for the System. Budget discussions, of course, have been complicated by recent attention to UW System cash reserves, and Gov. Scott Walker recently revised his recommendations pertaining to funding for the System. Here's a preview story; we'll bring you additional details in a future Log.

Female deputies in Libya's General National Congress (GNC) formed a bloc aimed at promoting women's rights and at ensuring fair representation of women on the constitutional drafting committee, Libya Herald reported on Monday (January 14th).
Misrata deputy Hana Al-Orfi said on Sunday that 28 women in the congress with different political backgrounds joined the bloc.
The move followed a January 8th statement by Az-Zawiya representative Mohamed Al-Kilani calling for segregating the sexes in the GNC. A number of female members reportedly walked out of the session in response to Kilani's comments.

New England Transcendentalism flowered during a period in American history marked by expansion, change, a growing national self-awareness, and increasing political, social, and regional polarization. The 1830 United States Census recorded a population of 12,866,020. By the 1860 Census, the population had more than doubled, to 31,443,321. The years from 1830 to 1860 witnessed the exploration and annexation of much new territory, westward migration, dramatic improvements in transportation and communication, and development toward party politics as we recognize them today. The North became more urbanized and industrialized, whereas the South remained primarily agricultural, resulting in ultimately irreconcilable disagreement over the issue of slavery, as well as tension over the tariff question.
An idealistic reform impulse exposed and combatted social, political, and economic inequities, slavery foremost among them. The Native American was feared, displaced, romanticized, and made the object of reform efforts. There was a trend toward the democratization of educational and cultural opportunities, and an appetite for popular entertainment on a large scale.
It was the age of the Monroe Doctrine and of "manifest destiny," applied by advocates of territorial expansion to encourage acquisitive government actions. The composition of the population began to change in the 1840s and 1850s, as immigration into the United States increased in the wake of European political upheaval and the potato famine in Ireland, triggering reactionary response from some quarters.
Traditional New England Congregationalism was criticized, Unitarianism arose, and other new, distinctly American religions sprang up. While many Americans maintained a wary distance from, or blissful ignorance of, currents in foreign politics and culture, certain religious leaders and some intellectuals and writers were strongly influenced by foreign philosophy and literature, forging in Transcendentalism a radical expression of European idealism and Romanticism.

E-book checkouts from libraries takes off
January 20, 2012 | 10:15 pm
By Chris Meadows
We lately mentioned the popularity of Amazon's Kindle owner lending library rogram, but iPads and Kindles have another popular lending option that is also exploding. OverDrive reported that traffic to its "virtual branch" websites more than doubled last year, seeing a 130% increase. While much of that increase can be attributed to e-readers, OverDrive also saw a 22% rise in traffic from smartphones and tablets.
The increase in lending might be good news for libraries, but it is unclear whether publishers will find it so. If a lent e-book displaces a sale, as some publishers seem to believe, that means that many more people won't actually buy their books or e-books. (This is undoubtedly why HarperCollins put a 26-checkout limit on its e-books and Penguin has ceased providing any to libraries at all.)
Writer Inc: Month 2
The pros and cons of buttons on e-readers (for page-turning)
Furor over Amazon review policy probably signifies nothing
Amazon revamps its rating calculations, favoring helpful, recent reviews of verified purchases
Barnes & Noble taps new CEO as revamped B&N e-commerce site hinders access to e-books
Isn't that how it's always been? People checking out books from the library instead of buying them? How are ebooks any different?
My parents don't spend money on books, they ONLY check them out from the library. I did get them a Kindle, but they still mostly read physical library books.
For me, if I think the Amazon price is too high, I'll check the Kindle version out from the library. If it's not at the library, I just don't read it. With all the free and low-priced books on Amazon (I'm up to something like 5,000!!) I don't need one of the Big 6 publisher's books at any price. Even then, there are only a couple of authors I like enough to bother. For me, most books are pretty interchangeable and I now have several indie favorites.
I've only read 2 physical books in the 2+ years I've had my Kindle so if I don't have a Kindle version available to me at a price I think is fair (and full price for a 10 or 20 year old book is NOT fair) then I won't read the book at all.
I can't speak for other library patrons, but here is an example of my e-book library usage since Kindle books became available from Overdrive.
To try out the service, I checked out one book that was available instantly for checkout. I also put a hold on a book that had about 100 people ahead of me.
Boths books had been available as e-books for years and I had never bothered to purchase them, despite looking at them and considering it. The first book, I read and it was okay, but it really didn't do much for me other than kill some time. The publisher could consider this a lost sale, but I would never have purchased the book anyway – so while I read it for free, the publisher did not lose any money and perhaps gained something from whatever they get having it available for library lending. If I had not been reading this book, I likely would have been reading something from my immense to be read pile that consists mostly of books I picked up because they were heavily discounted at the time or one of the public domain classics I haven't had the opportunity to read yet.
The second book was GRRM's Game of Thrones. I never purchased this book because I am not a big fantasy reader (aside from Tolkein and a few others). However, because of all the talk about it since becoming an HBO series (I don't get HBO), I was aware of it enough and interested enough to check it out on library loan.
If the book had gone on sale with a good discount, I might have purchased it, but it likely would have gone into my huge to-be-read pile and ignored for a long time – maybe forever. Because it was on library loan and I only had it for two weeks, I started reading it as soon as I got it. It didn't have a chance to get lost in the shuffle of books I'll get to later. I fell in love with the book and couldn't finish it in the two weeks – so rather than put another hold on it, I went ahead an purchased it at its regular price. After finishing it, I immediately purchased the second book and have started reading that right away as well. Unless the series starts to go way downhill, I will undoubtedly purchase the rest of the five books and any new books the author publishes. I know what I am getting, so I am willing to pay the full price. On top of that, I think my Dad might like this series, so I may purchase the paper book for him. If he likes it as well – it will undoubtedly lead to more paper book sales. And when the TV series comes to DVD in March, I will purchase that as well (I know the publisher doesn't benefit from this sale, but the author likely does as well as the franchise).
I don't understand the publishers fear of lost sales from making books available at libraries. Why aren't they afraid of the lost sales that would occur from not making them available? Yes, many books will be checked out and not purchased – but of those, how many would have been purchased by those borrowers anyway? If your books are good, readers are going to buy them – assuming they have the opportunity to discover them in the first place.
@Chris – Ebooks might now 'wear out' but the formats do become obsolete. Libraries will have to repurchase them when the file format is replaced or buy multiple copies to meet demand.
@Adri: Not necessarilly. Right now, libraries are buying ebook licenses, not files. Kindle library ebooks are actually delivered from the Amazon catalog. The equivalent epub or pdf file is deactivated and won't be loaned out until the Kindle loan ends and the licensed is released/returned.

Christmas Breakfast
I almost forgot! In the midst of cleaning and cleaning today – I thought about this recipe a few times but have only now gotten to sit here :) Just in case you don't have breakfast plans for Christmas morning – I want to share our favorite.
Oven Baked French Toast
Ingredients:1 loaf of French bread8 eggs1 1/2 C half & half1 C milk1 tsp vanilla2 T sugar1/4 tsp cinnamon1/4 tsp nutmegdash of salt
Prep:Slice bread into 20 one-inch slices. (Our local grocery sells an enriched egg loaf, made in the store. . . really good and eliminates cutting) Arrange in a generously buttered 9×13 baking dish. Layer and overlap the slices.
In a large bowl combine remaining ingredients – beat until blended but not bubbly. Pour mixture over bread slices evenly. Cover and refrigerate overnight.

I've watched this swap happen month by month – never really got involved. . . but holiday favorites – they have been on my mind lately! The last 5 or 6 years Jenna and I have spent an entire day baking, or making candy – depending on how adventurous we feel, and how many recipes we want to try. :)
This is a recipe that we found last year and love.
Cran-Crazy CookiesImage is from bhg.com :)
Super yummy cookies with whole wheat flour – I hope you try them.


text: Biofuels are fuels produced from living organisms or from metabolic byproducts (organic or food waste products). Most cars and trucks are fueled by gasoline and diesel fuels. Gasoline and diesel are actually ancient biofuels. But they are known as fossil fuels because they are made from decomposed plants and animals that have been buried in the ground for millions of years. Gasoline and diesel are nonrenewable fuels, as supplies will eventually run out. Biofuels are similar, except that they're made from plants grown today. In order to be considered a biofuel the fuel must contain more than 80 percent renewable materials. Biofuels are derived from the process of photosynthesis and can be called a solar energy source.

Although because it's summer and everyone is getting their license, I might not get a test until early next year, in which case it won't really matter
I did a bit of work on the bike today. Unlike my beaten up old TT250, it was just small little tweaks I had to do.
I removed the vertical section of the rack, fixed a couple of twisted/taped joints for the RHS rear indicator, removed the side-stand kill switch (which wasn't working anyway), re-routed the throttle cables correctly so they weren't being pulled taut at full lock and just generally had a good look over the bike.
Does anyone know what this connector is for? Two of the connections are shorted with some wire and all four of them head back into the wiring loom. Unfortunately I didn't take note of which wires were shorted. It's located on the LHS near the CDI.

Could this be the endgame for HIV? Pioneers of HIV research last week announced a united goal: to stamp out the virus forever.
"Finding a cure is going to be one of multiple strategies to end the epidemic," says Sharon Lewin of the Alfred Hospital in Melbourne, Australia, who is one of the 34 founders of the global scientific strategy called "Towards an HIV Cure". The announcement came ahead of the 19th International AIDS Conference in Washington DC this week.
HIV can be suppressed using antiretroviral drugs but not cured, because the drugs only kill cells in which the virus is multiplying. HIV can lay low by inserting dormant copies of itself into the DNA of healthy cells. Lewin and others are researching new approaches to flush out HIV. She is managing a trial exploring a promising avenue – giving people a cancer drug called vorinostat that "wakes up the virus" so it can be destroyed with antiretroviral drugs.
Other avenues include loading immune cells with genes to sabotage a white-blood-cell's surface protein, CCR5, which HIV uses to enter cells. A treatment aimed at biochemically chipping the virus out of infected people's DNA is also in development.
