Crazy Horse: A Photographic Biography Exhibit at WSC Library
The Mari Sandoz High Plains Heritage Center has transformed Bill and Jan Moeller's book Crazy Horse: A Photographic Biography into a traveling exhibition that is visiting Wayne State College. The Moellers wrote in their book of the need they felt to "see" the landscape that they were reading about in Mari Sandoz's Crazy Horse: Strange Man of the Oglalas. They began a journey to photograph the lands where he lived, hunted, and fought. By visually exploring the locations Crazy Horse lived and traveled, the viewer will be able to form a portrait of Crazy Horse as he related to his environment. The exhibition will be available for public viewing in the Wayne State College Library's Great Plains room until February 29.

Paying it forward this Thanksgiving
In Johnny Jones' mind, it was a flavorful, juicy turkey, and his family was able to make it last for days.
The childhood memory sticks out in Jones' mind because turkey was a luxury for his family when he was growing up in New Orleans, he said.
They would typically spend the holiday with relatives, or put together a meal at home. His mom maybe prepared a small ham or something like that, he said. He can count on one hand the number of turkeys he had on Thanksgiving.
When he was 15, he said, his family received a donated turkey. The final product at that holiday meal was perfect, he said. And then for three or four days, they made it stretch, making sandwiches.
"I don't know if it was just the turkey, or if it was just the fact that someone donated that turkey and we enjoyed it, but it just left such an impression on me [that's lasted until] today," he said. "That joy; maybe it was the fact that we didn't have to worry about the meals that we were going to have those three or four days that we made it stretch."
Jones, who now lives in Durham, said he doesn't know who donated that turkey, so he can't say "thank you" himself. Instead, he decided to pay it forward.
Before Thanksgiving this year, he helped launch an online fundraiser so he could create similar memories for other people. The fundraising effort raised money so Jones and others could buy 170 turkeys from Kroger.
On Monday, he dropped the majority of the turkeys off in boxes at the Durham branch of the Food Bank of Central and Eastern North Carolina. The nonprofit helps to feed hungry people in 34 counties in the state.
Christy Simmons, spokeswoman for the Food Bank, said in an email that as of Wednesday morning, it had distributed more than 600 turkeys from its Durham branch.
In total from all six branches, about 3,000 turkeys from community and corporate donors were distributed, she said.
Jones said his effort started as an idea, and then he posted it on Twitter. Before he even had the website started, a friend in Las Vegas sent him a donation. Since he had the donation, he said "OK, we have to go through with it now."
His wife helped him create a website, and he had other partners help with fliers, to plan logistics, and send press releases.
Seeing how the community rallied behind the idea, he said, he now sees how great things can be accomplished by a group of people.
"It doesn't have to begin on such a large scale," he said. "It can be just a small idea. We can come together, collaborate, and do great things, and do good deeds."

Pahlmeyer Merlot 1996
Merlot from Napa Valley, California
Winemaker's Notes
A dense deep purple hue. An outrageous smokey nose with a palate of dense black fruits. Super concentrated. Reminiscent of roasted squab on toast. Long, silky yet BIG finish. Style is showy and ostentatious. Exceptionally concentrated with low acid and fully ripe fruit.
Critical Acclaim
The Wine Advocate - "The 1996 Merlot (3,000 cases) is a worthy rival. Bottled unfined and unfiltered, this blend of 93% Merlot and 7% Cabernet Franc tips the scales at a heady 14.6% alcohol. Could it be better than the 1997? The wine is opaque black/purple-colored, with a knock-out nose of plums, black cherries, chocolate, raspberries, licorice, and toasty new oak. Viscous in the mouth, with superb purity, this is a riveting, mind-boggling Merlot that sets a new reference point for this varietal in California."
International Wine Cellar - "Very deep saturated ruby. Vibrant aromas of boysenberry and blackberry. Silky and rich in the mouth, with terrific texture and depth of flavor. Berry fruit complicated by hints of shoe polish and tar. Lovely restrained sweetness and harmonious acidity. Extremely long, dynamic aftertaste.
Range: 92-94"
Wine Spectator - "Impeccably balanced, remarkably complex and concentrated, with layers of currant, cedar, plum and blackberry. Turns plush and chocolaty on the finish, where the flavors soar on."

Pahlmeyer Winery
Jayson Pahlmeyer has been producing highly sought-after wines since 1986. It began with Jayson's dream to make world-class Bordeaux-style wine from Napa Valley. Pahlmeyer's estate vineyard - Waters Rance - is situated at 2100 feet in the Atlas Peak appellation of Napa Valley. It is the key source for their Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot, Malbec and Chardonnay. Jayson's passion eventually led him to the Sonoma Coast, where less than seven miles and two ridges from the Pacific Ocean, he planted Wayfarer Farm, their key source for Pinot Noir.

About Napa ValleyView a map of Napa Valley wineries
It's hard not to think of Napa Valley when thinking of California wines. The region is, after all, the one that brought world recognition to California wine making. The area was settled by a few choice wine families in the 1960's who bet that the wines of the area would grow and flourish. They were right. The Napa wine industry really took off in the 1980's, when vineyard lands were scooped up and vines were planted throughout the county. A number of wineries emerged, from large conglomerates to small boutiques to cult classics. Cabernet Sauvignon is definitely the grape of choice here, with many winemakers also focusing on Bordeaux Blends. Whites are usually Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc.
Notable FactsWithin the Napa Valley lie smaller sub-AVAs that lend even more character specifics to the wines. Furthest south is Carneros, followed by Yountville, Oakville & Rutherford. Above those two is St.-Helena and finally, just grated an AVA, Calistoga. These areas are situated on the valley floor and are known for creating rich, smooth Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Chardonnay. There are a few mountain regions as well, nestled on the slopes overlooking the valley AVAs. Those include Howell Mountain, Stags Leap and Mount Veeder. Wines from the mountain regions are often more structured and firm, benefiting from more time in the bottle to evolve and soften.
About CaliforniaIt's not rare to see a wine's country of origin listed as "California." A country into itself in the wine world, California makes enough varieties and styles to match many European wine countries. It produces a diverse range of wines that span the quality spectrum.
The most famous of the California wine regions is Napa Valley, and these wines are certainly outstanding – but it's not as broad and diverse as its larger neighbor, Sonoma County. Down south, Santa Barbara's Santa Maria Valley is well-known for its Rhône blends, as well as cool-climate varieties like Pinot and Chardonnay. The Central Coast, the largest California AVA, has many different microclimates that lead to a wide range of wines with many sub-AVAs.
Customer ReviewsSign In to Add Your Review0 }div>
Alcohol By Volume GuideMost wine ranges from 10-16% alcohol by volume. Some varietals tend to have higher (for example Zinfandel and Cabernet Sauvignon) or lower alcohol levels (Pinot Noir and many white varietals), but there is always some variation from producer to producer. Some wine falls outside of this range, for instance Port weighs in closer to 20%, while Muscat and Riesling are usually a bit below 10%.
Wine Style Guide
Light & Crisp
- Light to medium bodied wines that are high in acid and light to medium fruit. Typically no oak.
Fruity & Smooth
- Light to medium bodied wines with lots of juicy fruit, typically medium acid and medium oak.
Rich & Creamy
- Full bodied wines that have typically undergone malo-lactic fermentation and/or spent time in oak.

Impressions After a Reading by Ishmael Beah
Ishmael Beah, the author of his recent book, A Long Way Gone: Memoirs of a Boy Soldier, seemed ill at ease for a moment as he sat down in a rather grand chair on the raised sanctuary to begin the interview with several hundred people sitting quietly in the pews below him. He smiled self-consciously and immediately connected with his audience. This was a young man who is quickly learning how to work a room - a good thing to know if you want to make a difference in the world.
He looks much younger than his twenty-six years with his slight build and boyish smile. Perhaps it was his diet as a boy. Maybe it was the "brown brown", concoction of cocaine and gunpowder that he snorted as a boy soldier. Perhaps he just seems young for his age. All these thoughts and more ran through my mind as I watched him center himself, become more grounded, and begin reading a passage from his memoir.
The passage he read was a lovely vignette about being with his brother at his grandmother's house and how the boys tussled a bit to gain control of a hammock, and how one brother tricked the other into getting his way. It was all so mundane, so touchingly ordinary.
I could not help but think about the fact that not long after that day with his family, Ishmael was carrying an AK-47 and killing rebels in villages across his country - many of whom were boy soldiers like himself getting high and watching Rambo films when they were not being Rambos themselves.
Ishmael spoke sparingly about his time in the army, coyly urging the audience to buy his book to learn more about that. At one point he spoke about a meeting he had a few hours before the reading. This really got my attention because he told of his time that afternoon with some boys in the Alameda County Juvenile Detention Center in San Leandro just south of Oakland. He described his meeting with "these children" in very loving terms. The publisher of his book had sent copies to the youth there, and they had read about Ishmael before he met them. Because of his experiences with violence he was/is able to see past what they have done, and could still see the childish innocence that is buried deep beneath the wounds that come with being a boy soldier - be it in Freetown or Oaktown. In a strangely compelling way, for perhaps the first time I could see that it is all the same.
During the interview that was being conducted by Ishmael's mentor, Priscilla Hayner, Co-founder of The International Center for Transitional Justice, they spoke about the Truth and Reconciliation process that was occurring in Sierra Leone. Again, just as I did when I heard how the South Africans are doing it, as I listened to them describe how it works, I was in awe of the Africans' capacity for forgiveness and for their resilience. If we ever did in the past, we in the United States today have no structures now in our culture to reclaim and redeem these young soldiers. We just see them as criminals, as gangbangers. Nothing more. We want them to disappear. We say, Lock them up and throw away the key. But we are not throwing away keys. We are throwing away our children. The Africans have figured that out, and they are reclaiming as many of them as they can.
As fate would have it, when I returned from the reading that evening, I came across a story about three boys who killed a homeless man in Milwaukee a few years ago. They had asked him to buy them beer, and while drinking the beer with him the boys began to beat him, kick him, and eventually kill him. In a taped interview the youngest of the boys (who was 15 at the time of the killing) spoke about it in ways that seemed so similar to what Ishmael spoke of. It all happened so fast... We smoked some marijuana... We hadn't slept all night... I didn't think about what I was doing... I just joined in... It all happened so fast...
That boy is now serving a fifteen-year prison sentence. He is a few years older now, but still thinks and talks much like a fifteen year old. I'll grow up here in prison... I've never driven a car... I've never had a job... He doesn't say it in a self-pitying way. Just matter of factly. As if he is speaking about someone else at an incomprehensible time and an incomprehensible place.
Sort of like Ishmael.

Christ Offered To Take Away My Sin!
Christ offered to take away the sin within me!
He did this, just because he really loves me!
He offered to exchanged his love in it's place!
And freely offered his gifts of mercy and grace!
I thought about it. But wasn't sure what to do.
I had nothing to offer to the
one who said; "I love you!"
My life had been like rags
and emptiness for many years.
I was filled inside with a lot of
doubts and fears!
But Jesus called me! I jumped up and listened!
This was an opportunity…
I didn't want to be missin'!
He was willing to give my life a second chance.
And loved me! No matter the circumstance!
I decided to give him my life of sin and greed!
A new direction, God's spirit would lead!
Christ' life for mine, is what was exchanged…
But is was my life what was totally changed!
The love that he brought has been so sweet!
With him… My life has been made complete!

In a not-so-subtle dig at the National Security Agency, Microsoft's Vice President of Trustworthy Computing, Matt Thomlinson, described the company's expanded encryption efforts as a way to help "reinforce that governments use appropriate legal processes, not technical brute force, if they want access to that data."
In a blog post, Thomlinson announced that Outlook.com "is now further protected by Transport Layer Security, or TLS, encryption for both outbound and inbound email."
This encryption provides better protection as email travels between Microsoft and other email providers, assuming the other email service also have TLS support.
Microsoft also announced PFS, or "forward security" encryption support for OneDrive. Thomlinson wrote that "OneDrive customers now automatically get forward secrecy when accessing OneDrive through onedrive.live.com, our mobile OneDrive application and our sync clients. As with Outlook.com's email transfer, this makes it more difficult for attackers to decrypt connections between their systems and OneDrive."
The company is also launching its Microsoft Transparency Center to "provide participating governments with the ability to review source code for our key products, assure themselves of their software integrity, and confirm there are no 'back doors.'"
Not just Microsoft
In April Google announced that it's offering end-to-end encryption for Gmail and Google Drive to protect customer as it travels between Google data centers.
It's no secret that technology companies including Google, Microsoft, Facebook, Amazon and others have been critical of alleged government spying by NSA and other agencies. In December, 2013, Brad Smith, Microsoft's General Counsel & Executive Vice President, Legal & Corporate Affairs, Microsoft.blogged that the company is "especially alarmed by recent allegations in the press of a broader and concerted effort by some governments to circumvent online security measures – and in our view, legal processes and protections – in order to surreptitiously collect private customer data.
In that post, Smith said that Microsoft is:
- Expanding encryption across our services.
- Reinforcing legal protections for our customers' data.
- Enhancing the transparency of our software code, making it easier for customers to reassure themselves that our products do not contain back door

Just north of where Thursday's fatal shooting that killed 21-year old Leroy Gordon III occurred are neighborhoods full of single family homes that have kept people around for decades.
"I've lived here over 17 years," said James Singleton.
"I've been here about 20 years," said Victor Castro.
Many say they feel safe in their own homes, but agree areas where larger groups gather can be trouble.
"My eight and ten year old can walk around, but certain times of night there are different elements," said Ricky Gross.
"You need the cops to watch for that because that's where the trouble starts when you get a bunch of them together," said Singleton.
The Des Moines Police Special Enforcement Team did focus on the neighborhoods north of Forrest Avenue from April to September and made 36 arrests.
Residents say they noticed the extra effort.
"Just seeing them, people know. People know," said Gross.
"As soon as something is going on, they get their pretty quick," Castro told Channel 13 News.
Sergeant Steve Woody says the special enforcement team would be valuable year round, but it can stretch manpower thin.
"When you take seven patrol watchers off, that's seven less officers available to respond to trips. It's a juggling game and our chief looks at it and decides the best hours of operation," said Woody.
Because of the shooting, police plan to take a second look at increasing patrols in the area.
Whether it's a special enforcement team or not, residents hope to continue seeing some police presence in the winter.
"They'll beef up for a while then they'll stop. Financially it hurts the city, but it's something you need to do," said Singleton.
This isn't the first incident in the neighborhoods north of Forrest Avenue since the special enforcement team disbanded. In late September, there were several drive-by shootings.
Polk County Crime Stoppers is offering an award of up to $1,000 for information leading to an arrest in Thursday's shooting.

Misery loves...politics?

About YPM
Youth Parliament of Manitoba (YPM) is one of the oldest model parliaments in the Commonwealth; having held sessions continuously since 1922. During the annual Winter Session (December 26 to 30), YPM sits at the Manitoba Legislative Building. In May 2010, YPM hosted the 14th biennial Western Canada Youth Parliament in Winnipeg. In late winter each year, YPM hosts Speaker's Night; our premiere community gathering and fundraising gala.
What we are
YPM is a nonprofit, non-partisan, and non-denominational corporation and registered charity
Who we are
Our organization is run according to our motto of "For Youth, By Youth." The corporation's 5-person Board of Directors (Parliamentary Executive) are all between the ages of 18 and 25 and are directly elected by and from the membership.
The success of Youth Parliament of Manitoba is also contingent on our cabinet, who work tirelessly to ensure a great experience for all members. The cabinet consists of around 20 members named by the executive to fill various "ministries" in the government. Their duties include all aspects of running session from food preparation and photocopying through to public relations and drafting of the legislation to be debated.
Members of YPM come from all corners of the province. All youth within our age limits (16-20) are eligible to become members. Applications are normally taken in the months leading up to one of our parliamentary sessions. YPM provides a unique forum to discuss generational issues in Manitoba, Canada and the world.
Our members go on to become leaders in their professional fields as well as their communities. The Hon. Lloyd Axworthy, Howard Pawley, Darren Praznik, Bill Blaikie, Nahlah Ayed, Bill Norrie and Patricia Chaychuk are among many influential former members of the Youth Parliament of Manitoba. The Hon. Reg Alcock has served as our Honorary President since spring 2009.
What we do
Our premiere event of the year is our Winter Session, which occurs every year from 26-30 December. Youth aged 16-20 come from across Manitoba spend five days debating in the beautiful Manitoba Legislative Building.
As a member, you will take part in stimulating debate on a broad range of issues relevant to youth. You will act as a member of parliament and it will be up to you to voice your opinions concerning the proposed legislation and develop amendments to improve them.
YPM is not only for students interested in politics or debating; it's for all young people who would like to have a unique and exhilarating experience and meet other people your own age. Even if you know nothing about politics or the parliamentary process, you will still get to meet some of the most interesting young people in the province, and learn something about how your government works.
Does this sound like something you would be interested in? Would you like more information? Contact us and we'll get back to you right away!

Garrett Hedlund's Trip
BY Jeremy Kinser
January 08 2011 3:30 AM ET
Gwyneth's character, Kelly, is an alcoholic singer whose life and
career are spinning out of control. Three years ago you starred opposite
Lindsay Lohan in Georgia Rule, around the time her downward
spiral began. Did you see any parallels between Lindsay's off-screen
struggles with substance abuse and Gwyneth's character's on-screen
[Pause] I guess not. [Laughs] I guess the parallel in this situation would be, like the theme of Country Strong,
whether love and fame can coexist. It's such a hard thing when you
work steady and live your life and try to be happy and appease audiences
and be the greatest you can be, but then life takes a toll on you and
you turn to drugs. It's unfortunate.
You have starring roles in three very high-profile films. Have you thought about how you'll handle the inevitable loss of your anonymity?
I don't really think about it. I take it a day at a time. I'm a harmless, peaceful guy. I like to be at home, and I don't cause any trouble. If things get too crazy, I'll find another place to hide.
You might need to find one after your next project, the long-awaited film version of On the Road. I don't want to put any pressure on you but it's arguably one of the most highly anticipated films of all time.
Yes, I've spent the last six months working incredibly hard with Walter Salles on it. It was a phenomenal cast, who I will love for the rest of my life. We embarked on something so rare and so rich. I'm incredibly proud to be a part of it.

New Yorkers woke up this morning to read the news that the Republicans have taken back control of the State Senate in Albany. But GOP stalwarts in the Empire State and elsewhere should take no comfort from this development. While they may consider the breakup of the Democratic monopoly on power in the state a good thing, the method by which they accomplished this trick is nothing to brag about.
The slim Democratic majority in the State Senate was lost by virtue of the votes of two members of their caucus who decided to flip: Pedro Espada, Jr. of the Bronx and Hiram Monseratte of Queens. The two have one thing in common other than the fact that they used to be loyal Democrats: they are both in serious legal trouble. Espada is under investigation for the way he has run a non-profit health care network and was fined for not disclosing campaign contributions. Monseratte is under indictment for stabbing his female live-in companion with broken glass. Quite a pair, aren't they?
As a result of the coup, Espada is the new Senate President. Thus, because New York currently has no lieutenant governor — since, as you may recall, David Patterson left that post to become governor after Elliot Spitzer resigned in the wake of his prostitution scandal — Espada would become governor if the bumbling Patterson was forced to resign or became incapacitated. All of which gives new meaning to the phrase "dumbing deviancy down."
The plot was apparently hatched and pushed forward by Tom Golisano, a Rochester billionaire who has spent much of the last decade pushing for various state government reforms and last year helped finance the election of candidates — mostly Democrats — to effect these changes. When, surprise, surprise, the new Democratic majority didn't dance to his tune and raised even more taxes, Golisano said he was leaving the state for Florida but began plotting his revenge.
After the reorganization vote (which the Democrats tried to stop by turning out the lights in the Senate Chamber) the new GOP majority enacted new rules about term limits for leadership positions and other reforms that will equalize the amount of pork barrel projects passed between the two parties. The switch could also undermine the Democrats' plans for more tax-and-spend policies (though, to be fair, during their times in power, New York Republicans have been just as bad) and may make it even harder for the legislature to pass a gay marriage bill (though Espada is himself a sponsor of that legislation). Of course, if Espada and Monseratte are convicted of the crimes for which they are either under investigation or indictment, they will have to resign and the Democrats can seize the Senate back.
Odds are, most New Yorkers will see all of this as just another case of politicians scrapping for more power and patronage.
More importantly, anyone who thinks this disgraceful spectacle is a harbinger of a comeback by New York Republicans is dreaming. On the contrary, such shenanigans will convince no one that the party has an idea worth the name or even the slimmest grasp of political ethics. If Republicans are serious about cleaning up their act and providing a coherent alternative to the public in our new age of Obama, then this is exactly the sort of monkey business they should be avoiding.

The state paid $750,000 for an audit of West Virginia's public school system. Public Works LLC reported that this state's public school system is the most highly regulated in the nation.
It is also one of the most costly per student and one of the least effective.
The report was released in January, but the state Board of Education has yet to respond.
One sticking point is how to get the best teachers.
The audit recommended that the state let principals hire teachers based on qualifications, not seniority. …
Some members of the nine-member board don't want to make teachers unions angry or put political figures in a bind. This concern was evident from a voice recording of the board's retreat at Stonewall Resort, and carried through to its draft response.
The state code "severely limit(s) a principal's ability to recommend for hiring the most qualified and best person for a position if that person is a new employee to the system. While intending to permit the hiring of the most qualified teacher, it in effect defines the most qualified as a teacher in good standing already employed by the county," Public Works said.
For example, a principal who hires someone who does not have the most seniority must give the most senior applicant "a written statement of reasons" why, complete "with suggestions for improving the applicant's qualification."
Board member Lloyd Jackson said the result is that "the senior person gets the job." …
The state Board of Education is about to go badly wrong here.
Its first concern should be for students.
Despite generous spending, West Virginia students don't score well on national tests, and are at a disadvantage in life. The state's private sector complains that it can't find qualified applicants for jobs. …
Obviously, the board hasn't put students first, and from the sound of it, doesn't plan to.
That is shocking.
Unions have legitimate concerns about job security. But if a seniority-first policy affects the quality of the teachers principals may hire, the board should change the policy.
As for the political ramifications of correcting a weakness, teachers work for the state, and politicians work for the public, not the unions. Or do they?

Zia Park: Ol Winemaker Who avoids DQ in Zia Derby
Ol Winedrinker Who returned to racing with 3-year-olds Saturday in the $150,000 Zia Park Derby and pulled a mild upset in the race when he darted clear by 3 3/4 lengths over Master Rick.
Following the race, Master Rick's camp lodged a claim of foul against the winner for interference in the stretch, but the order of finish was allowed to stand.
Alsvid set the pace and finished third as the 4-5 favorite, a half-length behind Master Rick.
Ole Winedrinker Who ($15.20) had been facing older rivals in his two starts prior to the Zia Derby, and finished second in both of those races. Saturday, he settled about five lengths behind Motown Men and Alsvid, who dueled through fractions of 23.55 seconds for the opening quarter, 47.29 for the half-mile, and 1:11.73 for six furlongs. Alsvid went on, but was overtaken by Ole Winedrinker Who, who, after drifting in the stretch, covered 1 1/16 miles on a track rated fast in 1:44.42.
Carlos Madeira rode the winner for trainer Joel Marr.
"We knew it would be tough and didn't know if he could compete against such a good field," said Marr. "But we knew one thing, and that was that he was training as good as he could train and loved the course. I think that's got to help. He just likes it here."
Ol Winedrinker Who picked up his second stakes win of the year in the Zia Derby, with his first coming in June in the $40,000 Norgor Derby at Ruidoso Downs. The horse races for his breeders, Sam E. and Sammy L. Stevens. He has now won 4 of 10 starts and $179,713. Ol Winedrinker Who is a Texas-bred by Sligo Bay.

Early Super Bowl ratings: Highest in 23 years
The initial Nielsen report for Sunday night's CBS coverage of the Super Bowl indicate a 46.4 overnight rating, which would make it the highest-rated Super Bowl in metered markets since a 47.8 in 1987 — when Phil Simms led the New York Giants to a victory over the Denver Broncos.

Super Bowl TV coverage: End of game

One issue, pointed out in an early blog post, is that he doesn't always hear play-by-play partner Jim Nantz. Nantz: […] [Read More]
Super Bowl TV coverage: End of third quarter
One obvious problem CBS is having in the Super Bowl — and there's nothing the network can do about it — is trying to jam in the commercials. Both teams have had such long drives, there are fewer changes of possession than in a normal game, and thus fewer opportunities for commercial breaks. That's why […] [Read More]

Risks and challenges
The challenges for this project are related to technical hurdles we may encounter related to the user experience. Creating a quick and intuitive experience is critical and the most difficult part will be perfecting the art lessons. My partner (and father) has taught art at the New York School of Visual Arts (SVA), a world-renowned art institution for over a decade. Personally, I've designed and developed over 50 websites, two complex desktop software packages, and one mobile app (google: monster baby matchup). As project manager, I look forward to the challenges of creating "Doodler." We will use open source repositories for some support in perfecting the product's experience. This includes the use of the 'smooth-drawing' git https://github.com/krzysztofzablocki/smooth-drawing . Our development team is fantastic and highly experienced, they have built similar systems and apps and are highly qualified for this.Learn about accountability on Kickstarter

Pomona College is Named a Best Value College by Princeton Review and in USA Today
Pomona College has been named one of the nation's top 10 best value private colleges by The Princeton Review, marking its third consecutive year on the list. In the Princeton Review's The Best Value Colleges: 2014 Edition. Pomona is at #10. The list was reported in cooperation with USA Today.
Both the public and private top 10 colleges and universities are ranked, with the remaining 65 in each group in alphabetical order. The top 10 best value private colleges, in order, according to the Princeton Review are: Williams College, Harvard College, Swarthmore College, Yale University, Princeton University, The Cooper Union for the Advancement of Science and Art, Vassar College, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Amherst College and Pomona College.
All of the undergraduate members of the Claremont Colleges – Pomona, Claremont McKenna, Harvey Mudd, Pitzer and Scripps – are profiled in the new volume, which notes that the Consortium "allows Pomona to offer the richly personal experience of a small, academically superb liberal arts college, and the breadth of resources normally associated with a major university."
The company selected colleges based on its surveys of 2,000 colleges and universities in 2012-13, analyzing school-reported information across more than 30 data points covering academics, cost, and financial aid as well as data from The Princeton Review's surveys of students at the schools over the past three academic years.
Both the Princeton Review and the USA Today story, "Best Value Colleges Generous with Financial Aid," note Pomona's "reputation of providing great financial aid packages," citing Pomona's need-blind admissions and policy of meeting the full, demonstrated financial aid need of every accepted student with financial aid packages of scholarships and work-study. Also noted were Pomona's policies of subsidizing internship and ensuring the cost of study abroad is not a barrier for students on financial aid.
For the 2012-13 academic year, the College awarded more than $30 million in need-based financial aid. Approximately 55 percent of Pomona students receive financial aid.

When a decision has multiple teams and their respective cities emotionally invested, it's never pretty.
That was the case Tuesday as the Ontario Hockey League awarded Memorial Cup hosting duties to London for the second time in less than a decade.
Immediately after the announcement, criticisms started flowing onto social media and news sites.
"Very disappointed at decision on 2014 Memorial Cup. When will #barrie get a fair shake from the OHL?" Barrie mayor Jeff Lehman, who was on the Barrie Colts bid committee, tweeted.
Windsor Spitfires head coach Bob Boughner took a similar tone with media outlets in his city.
"London does have a good team coming back and so do we," he was quoted as saying. "We have a good building and financial plan. There's not a lot more to prove in that department."
The site selection committee chose London because the Knights had the best bid, plain and simple, OHL commissioner David Branch said.
A common Tuesday qualm — that the "rich is getting richer" — has no legs, he said.
"We've had it in Guelph, Peterborough," Branch said, listing two OHL markets on the smaller side, "but, I mean, we recognize the importance of making this event accessible for all our markets and we'll continue to do so."
Proposed "legacy" projects to come from 2014 Memorial Cup:
— Launching of virtual OHL hall of fame: Forty players and six coaches to be inducted as the hall's first class.
— Creation of foundation for OHL alumni: $100,000 will be used as seed money to start a fund, which helps former players who fall on hard times.
— Establishment of OHL alumni association: An official organization linking the league to its ex-players.

Parenting Tips for Your 27-28 Month Old Toddler
Question: My daughter feeds herself and reaches for toys with her left hand. I don't want her to be left-handed, but I've heard that if I try to keep her from using her left hand, it may cause problems. Should I try to make her use her right hand?
Answer: Most children change handedness several times before settling down to their preference. The key word is preference. Most children settle into a left or right hand preference, but some children continue to have equal skill in both left and right hands throughout their lives.
Don't try to make her use her right hand. Preference in using hands, feet, and eyes is already present in the child's brain at birth. If you pressure your daughter to change her preference, she may become confused.
Forcing her to change might also affect her self-confidence and her learning. If your daughter is really left-handed, she won't be alone. Fifteen percent of the United States population is left-handed.

Two back-to-back earthquakes that recently jostled Northern California weren't powerful enough to cause serious injuries or damage.
But they were a reminder of the looming danger of big earthquakes in the Golden State and the need to consider earthquake insurance.
The magnitude 3.5 and 4.0 quakes struck eight seconds apart at about 5:30 a.m. March 5. They were centered in El Cerrito, about 10 miles from Oakland in the San Francisco Bay Area.
The temblors were puny compared to what's likely to come.
In a 2008 earthquake forecast, scientists said the chance of a 6.7 magnitude or greater earthquake in California by 2028 is more than 99 percent. Experts from the U.S. and California Geological Survey and the Southern California Earthquake Center compiled the forecast.
Scientists say the greatest probability for a big one is in the region around Los Angeles, which faces a 67 percent chance of experiencing a major earthquake by 2028. The chance of a big one hitting the San Francisco Bay Area is 63 percent.
The most recent big ones
The last big one to hit California was the 6.7 Northridge earthquake in 1994. The earthquake killed 57 people, severely damaged or destroyed 4,000 buildings and moderately damaged another 8,500 buildings in the Los Angeles area, according to a 2004 Risk Management Solutions Inc. report. Seven major freeway bridges collapsed and 170 were damaged.
The Northridge earthquake occurred just five years after the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake in Northern California. Among the most notable disasters of that 6.9 earthquake was the collapse of the Interstate 880 Cypress Street Viaduct, a double-decker section of highway in west Oakland.
The Loma Prieta earthquake occurred on the infamous San Andreas Fault and was centered near Santa Cruz. The San Andreas Fault runs north and south on the west side of the San Francisco Bay Area and along the coast north of San Francisco.
The most recent earthquakes in El Cerrito were on the Hayward Fault, which runs north and south on the east side of the Bay Area. Historical statistics for the fault line are eye-opening. The average interval for the last five big earthquakes on the Hayward Fault is 140 years, the U.S. Geological Survey says. The last time a big one occurred on the fault was 144 years ago when a 6.8 earthquake leveled buildings and shook up the then-sparse population.
Scientists say the probability of a big earthquake occurring on the Hayward Fault by 2028 is 31 percent -- significantly greater odds than the 21 percent chance on the San Andreas Fault.
Although a big earthquake is almost certain to occur somewhere in California, relatively few residents buy earthquake insurance. Standard home insurance does not cover earthquake damage. You have to buy a separate earthquake insurance policy to have financial protection.
Only 12 percent of California homes covered by fire insurance are also covered for earthquakes, according to the California Earthquake Authority. The authority provides 70 percent of the earthquake insurance sold in the state. The policies are sold through participating home insurance companies.
The authority has been working to raise awareness about earthquake preparedness and the need for insurance. Only time will tell whether more people will become concerned enough to buy coverage.

Brit Hume reported that the revelation that President Bush authorized I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby to leak classified portions of the 2002 National Intelligence Estimate on Iraq's alleged weapons of mass destruction had the "rare and unusual result" of bringing "together the editorial pages of The Wall Street Journal and The Washington Post." Contrary to Hume's claim, however, the Post editorial board has often expressed views shared by the Journal -- a frequent source of conservative misinformation.
CNN's David Ensor, reporting on the revelation that President Bush "authorized" the disclosure of classified portions of the 2002 National Intelligence Estimate pertaining to Iraq's purported weapons of mass destruction, simply asserted without elaboration that unnamed "experts" say Bush's actions were "legal," and that the president has "the right" to declassify such information. Similarly, Fox News' Brit Hume said that both Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney "have the legal authority under an executive order signed by the president to make public classified information. So that takes the unauthorized out of it." Neither Ensor nor Hume challenged the notion that the president has the authority to leak classified information, questioned whether Bush -- assuming he has that authority -- properly declassified the information, or made any effort to explore the ramifications of the president's exercise of that alleged authority.
In an interview with former House Majority Leader Tom DeLay (R-TX), Brit Hume misleadingly claimed that the scandal involving former lobbyist and DeLay associate Jack Abramoff has resulted in "charges against one of" DeLay's former aides and "possibly against a second." In fact, two former DeLay staffers have pleaded guilty to felonies in connection with the Abramoff scandal, and a third former DeLay staffer is reportedly under investigation.
On Fox News Sunday, Brit Hume echoed a previous comment by Rep. Tom DeLay, claiming that the Democratic Party is "as a whole, unserious about national security."
Loading the player leg...
Following recent demonstrations in which protesters marched against proposed legislation that would criminalize undocumented workers, some in the media have criticized the demonstrators for carrying Mexican flags. But these same media figures have not complained about people waving other nations' flags, such as Irish flags at St. Patrick's Day events, Italian flags at Columbus Day events, or Israeli flags at Israel Day events.
The campaign against purportedly biased reporting on the Iraq war -- forwarded by President Bush, White House officials, and array of conservative media figures -- has continued on the airwaves and in print.
In reporting on The Washington Post's decision to hire Republican activist Ben Domenech as a blogger on its website, Fox News' Brit Hume claimed that the Post hired Domenech "to quiet grumbling about liberal [Post] columnist Dan Froomkin." However, Hume ignored Domenech's own criticisms of Froomkin, including his labeling of Froomkin as a "hack," "a lying weasel-faced Democrat shill" and "one of the dozen or so people in the world" that he detests.
Fox News host Brit Hume and nationally syndicated columnist Charles Krauthammer misrepresented public support for the Bush administration's warrantless domestic surveillance program, claiming that Americans "overwhelmingly" support the program. In fact, while Americans generally support spying on suspected terrorists, polls consistently show that most Americans disapprove of conducting surveillance without seeking or obtaining a warrant.
On Fox News Sunday, Brit Hume falsely claimed that Sen. John D. Rockefeller IV (D-WV) "has never said that he wasn't fully briefed" on President Bush's warrantless domestic spying program. In fact, in a July 2003 letter to Vice President Dick Cheney, Rockefeller stated that the briefing he received on the program left him "unable to fully evaluate, much less endorse" the wiretapping program, and that "[w]ithout more information and the ability to draw on independent legal or technical expertise, I simply cannot satisfy lingering concerns raised by the briefing we received" on the program. Hume acknowledged Rockefeller's letter but called it "one weak little, weird, sort-of-slightly-incomprehensible letter ... which was followed up by him in no way whatever."
Discussing immigration legislation, Brit Hume asked: "Is it fair to say the Republicans want these people to stay here so they can work, and Democrats want them to stay here so they can vote?"
A March 13 CBS News poll showed President Bush's approval rating at 34 percent -- unchanged from a February 28 CBS poll, despite a substantial increase in the number of Republicans polled relative to Democrats and independents. Conservative media figures attacked the earlier poll's validity, arguing that CBS' sample included a higher percentage of Democrats than they contended accurately reflected the general population. Now that CBS has released an updated poll showing that a roughly equal percentage of Democrats and Republicans produced the same approval rating for Bush, will the same media figures who denounced the prior poll report on the newest results?
An article in the Capitol Hill newspaper The Hill made a poorly substantiated claim that "tax experts" believe that Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW), a nonprofit government ethics watchdog group, may have violated IRS regulations governing nonprofit organizations by filing ethics complaints with the Justice Department and Federal Elections Commission against mostly Republican members of Congress. The claim against CREW was forwarded by Republicans, but the article downplayed the claim's partisan nature. In fact, no complaint has been filed with the IRS, and two of the three "experts" cited in the article demonstrated either incomplete or inaccurate knowledge of the issue.
Fox News host Brit Hume continued to tout the Associated Press' misleading March 3 "clarification" of a previous article about a pre-Katrina presidential briefing as justification for President Bush's claim -- debunked even at the time -- that "I don't think anybody anticipated the breach of the levees."
An Associated Press clarification of a previous story about video footage showing President Bush being briefed about Hurricane Katrina not only echoed the Bush administration's explanation of why the AP videos do not contradict Bush's claim about not anticipating a breach of the levees, it omitted key facts that undermine the administration's explanation.
A recent poll conducted by CBS News that placed President Bush's approval rating at 34 percent has become the target of misleading and uninformed attacks by conservatives in the media.

The whole greatness of the restaurant surrounds the dipping sauces! There is so much variety its fun exploring them all. Part of the fun is relying on the sauce for flavor, because when have french fries ever been flavorful without adding chemical x? The fries are a perfect texture, crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. Golden brown color, and great taste. Go here with a friend, the $4 regular is enough to fill up the 2 of you. Cute atmosphere too. I've never been to Belgium but felt like I was transported there while in this restaurant. for reals.
Posted by Anonymous on 06/21/2008
The fries here have really got me addicted, they are super generous about samples and everyone who works here is so nice. Its great to have a place like this in the neighborhood where the owner actually works in the shop and seems to care about keeping customers happy. I have seen her give fries 'on the house' to people who got the wrong sauces. Thats really nice, and pretty much unheard of these days. Its a welcome bit of hospitality.
Posted by Anonymous on 06/15/2008
to be quite honest, you will only be charmed by this place if you either haven't eaten at their locations in europe or if you haven't traveled to europe at all. i don't intend for that to sound snooty, but it's really not that unique and the fries themselves are really bland. you should not have to rely entirely upon the dipping sauces for flavor. this place will loose the hype surrounding it in a year or so.
Posted by Anonymous on 04/28/2008
Great little resto, with excellent French Fries and sauces. French Fries the way there were meant to be served! with mayo... not just ketchup!!! To the reviewer who thinks the place is Belgian just to be fancy. She should know that the reason French Fries are called this, is because they were d by French-Speaking Belgians!
Posted by Mayra on 04/20/2008
I consider myself a french fry connoisseur and I love these. They are delicious by themselves and even better with any of the countless shmears available. Definitely try the parmesan peppercorn, pomegranite teryaki, curry ketchup, vietnamese pineapple, and rosemary garlic mayo.
Posted by Dez on 03/24/2008
I'd found out about this place whilst doing an online search for a good, pancakes-all-day, Belgian restaurant in the metro area. Anywho, I went there for the first time this past Friday with my french fry loving 3 year old. Being the traditionalist that she is, she opted not to try one of the myriad of sauces and stuck with ketchup. She loved her frites! I knew it was serious when she mentioned them two days later! As for moi, I ordered some frites with a side of parmesan peppercorn sauce very delicious. I'd also tried the traditional European sauce which tastes to me like sweet mayonnaise. It wasn't bad. Now, outta curiosity, I tried some poutine. I'd never heard of it before reading the reviews of this place. I got a small order just in case I didn't like it. Boy, did I play myself or what!? It was ....!!! See, it was soooo good, I can't even come up with words adequate enough to describe it! Delicious Belgian fries...er, s'cuse me, frites smothered in gravy with melting, chewy cheese...globs. Tastes much better than it sounds. Tastes much better than it looks too! I've read that this dish was created in Canada. I wonder if it was inspired by or ripped off of some southern person. I know how we southerners love our stuff smothered in gravy. Anywho, for my next few visits, I'm gonna be gettin' the poutine...until I'm all pout-ed out. Then, I'll try the other sauces. As for the place itself, it's a teensy, tiny whole in the wall. I'm familiar with the area and knew exactly where to find it, yet STILL walked by it two or three times! No big storefront or anything. Just...a whole in the wall. When we first got there, there were about 6 or 7 (if that many) people seated within, so it was jam packed. Fortunately, before my order was ready, they'd all left. So toddler and I sat on a couple of stools and munched away. I thought the counters were cute. They have holes carved into them which are a perfect fit for the paper cone in which your frites are served in. At no point during our time there was the line not going outside the door. Then again, there's not much room at all to stand inside (why are all things authentically European so darn TINY!?). The employees are nice n' friendly and tips are encouraged by the l'il cup on the counter where you place your order. After eatin' some of that poutine, later for tips! I'm ready to start tithing up in there!

I love Pommes Frites. I love how generous the portions are. I love so many of the sauces that I'm not even going to go out of my way to list them all. They're just always amazing. Unfortunately, though, I eat Pommes Frites so rarely because every time I walk by, it's PACKED. It sucks. I've had my best successes eating there during the day, but how often during the day am I just strolling by St. Marks? Not often. That's my only complaint. Maybe it's part of their charm to be a hole in the wall, but come on- they're an institution already. They should totally have more space.
