My first-year seminar in global warming and world water issues really opened my eyes to the possibilities of collaboration to address pressing human needs. The political implications of sustainability - those aspects of shared endeavor that move sustainability beyond common notions of conservation - have immense power to change people's lives. "It was a great way to learn more about the firm and their ideas," says DeVoe, who learned how Johnston incorporates economy, ecology, and wellness in its designs. She served as editor and graphic designer, choosing photos and quotations and working with Johnston on four essays for A Blank Canvas. Though she originally intended to major in art history, she added an urban studies major after taking Halfacre's environmental policy class. She was inspired by a project on using environmentally sound techniques to restore historic properties, and her summer internship, funded by the Furman Advantage program, cemented her desire to ensure that historic structures are preserved using modern technology and sustainable techniques. "I was impressed with how my summer internship turned out," she says. "I led a project myself and got to be hands-on, and I know it will help me down the road, applying for grad programs and jobs. And it's kind of nice to say I was published as an undergrad."

September 19: Talk Like a Pirate Day
Ahoy there! Well shiver me timbers once again Talk Like a Pirate Day is upon us and it will be a glorious one. If you are curious as to how this international event started, you can check out the story posted here on the original website. You can also view the countdown and see a map of events happening around the world that are related to Talk Like a Pirate Day. If you really want to embrace the pirate speak, you can even change your language settings on Facebook to English(Pirate). Now for a friendly disclaimer, pirates in reality were nothing to laugh about and the creators of Talk Like a Pirate Day will be the first to admit it. Pirates were and are for the most part pretty despicable people so the promotion of speaking like a pirate is not a general endorsement for the pirate lifestyle.
If you want to skip talking like a pirate and would rather read about or watch them instead, make sure to check out the materials that AADL has featuring these terrifying tormentors of the sea.
Fair winds me hearties!

If you've ever wondered how to give back to those in need during the holiday season but didn't know where to begin, a Fort Bliss organization just might have the answer.
The Fort Bliss Army Volunteer Corps will have its first-ever Season of Giving Community Service Fair on Nov. 2 at Freedom Crossing shopping center.
The event is designed to show both Fort Bliss and El Paso community members how they can volunteer during the holiday season, said Tephanie Hopper, manager of the Fort Bliss Army Volunteer Corps.
More than 20 nonprofit organizations and government agencies will have information booths at the event.
Attendees can also learn about the Army Volunteer Corps program. At Fort Bliss, this program has about 3,000 registered volunteers. Fort Bliss soldiers, family members, retired military, Department of Defense civilian employees and El Paso community members can participate.
The Army Volunteer Corps recruits and trains volunteers to serve both on and off the installation, trains volunteer managers and coordinates community events and projects, Hopper said.
"We want to make sure that people know how they can help out during Christmas and Thanksgiving," Hopper said. "People want to know how they can give back as a volunteer, who needs some help and what agencies need help with things like toys."
Attendees at the fair can get a head start on their holiday giving by bringing a nonperishable food item or a new unwrapped toy. The collected items will be donated to agencies that participate in the event.
Those who donate at least one item will be entered into a drawing for several Visa gift cards, which will be donated by Balfour Beatty Communities.
"We are so excited about this event," Hopper said. "We want to make sure that people know that this isn't just a Fort Bliss event, but is an El Paso community event. When we say anyone can attend, we mean anyone."
Organizations that will attend include the Salvation Army, Army Emergency Relief, Armed Services YMCA, the Reynolds Home, the YWCA and the H.O.P.E. Institute.
Entertainment will be provided by the 1st Armored Division Band and the Child, Youth and School Services Choir.
John Martin, business director for the Salvation Army's El Paso Area Command, said his organization will attend for two reasons.
"As the holidays approach, people tend to get stressed for different reasons," Martin said. "We'd like to let people know what services we have available for both the military and nonmilitary. This includes financial assistance, our shelter and food pantry, among other programs.
"The second aspect is we'd like people to know about volunteer opportunities," Martin added. "One example is we have our annual Thanksgiving meal in which we serve about 1,000 meals. We need volunteers that day and for several weeks in advance."
Make plans
- What: First-ever Season of Giving Community Service Fair.

Get What You Want – And What You Need
By Kim Phelan
Article Date:
Copyright(C) 2010 Associated Equipment Distributors. All Rights Reserved.
Leave gut feelings and snap impressions at the door when you start hiring, eventually.
A long time ago I heard a
preacher – a single gentleman – wryly comment on the reason for his bachelorhood: "I guess I'd rather want what I don't have," he said, "than have what I don't want."
Ain't it the truth. (just kidding!)
That phrase has stuck with me over the years, and it certainly applies to the business world as you come at the subject of hiring, and its evil twin, firing. Over the last year or so I've heard and read a lot of cautions regarding the dangers of termination from a litigious perspective – AED and
have featured experts to help dealers navigate that trail of nails. But what about hiring? Why would an employer take a casual approach to bringing a new staffer into the company?
First, let's tap the brake for a second to acknowledge that hiring may be the furthest thing from your mind right now – you might well be echoing a statement I heard recently by Gene Marks, a small-business owner, speaker and columnist: "I'm not hiring in 2010 unless my people absolutely scream for mercy, and they're not, yet."
But from the looks of the consolidation landscape, many dealers that are in acquisition mode may indeed be scouring for the best and brightest to serve customers in their newly expanded territories. And whether or not your region is actually feeling any signs of recovery yet,
columnist and executive search veteran Bill Sitter indicates in this issue that it's probably time to brush up on your best practices for hiring high-quality "horsepower."
So, let's assume that one day in the not-so-distant future that you will again want to recruit fabulous talent back onto the roster. Thus I repeat, why would anyone treat so large a decision lightly? And some do. In a February webinar hosted by KPA, Kathryn Carlson, product director for HotlinkHR, quoted a study showing that "63 percent of all hiring decisions are made during the first 4.3 minutes of an interview."
Wait, you've made up your mind in just four minutes?!
"Not the best basis for making good hiring decisions," said Carlson, who added that the cost of making a bad hire is approximately two times the annual salary for that position. And while you may or may not agree with that estimation, the point is: Don't wind up having what you don't want – and encumbered with having to shed it.
Carlson brought up some solid and easily applied advice during her presentation, which is available as a recording with slides at
. First, she recommends that you use five fundamental tools consistently for every single hire:
An effective job application form (to weed out the riffraff, so to speak – your time is too valuable to waste on the obviously unqualified)
Conduct a behavioral interview (And for goodness sake, don't talk about yourself the whole time!)
Personally contact references (Carlson says that well more than half of job applicants misrepresent information on their resumes.)
Perform a background check
Use a scorecard to make objective decision (I really liked her suggestion to keep an apples-to-apples rating for each candidate – her sample scorecard is downloadable at
I'd also like to share another set of "5s" that Carlson highlighted in that webinar, her formula for getting the hiring process right.
1.)Follow a defined process. In other words, just be consistent and objective in what you do.
2.)Use the five tools, outlined above.
3.)Always be recruiting – so word gets out what a great employer you are.
4.)Include others in the process – second opinions aren't just for health problems.
5.)Never talk yourself into saying "yes."
On No. 5, I guess that's an easy place to compromise, but it's the final threshold of doom! If you have to either convince yourself or shrug your shoulders in tired acceptance, you'd better get a good night's sleep and start over the next morning. A woman once told me that when she was hired her supervisor said to her: "I guess you'll do." Five years later neither she nor the supervisor were employed at the company – one was just wrong for the job, and one was, well, just an undiscerning manager.
Hope these simple tips help you and your management team proceed with care when the time comes to ramp up. Meanwhile, please give plenty of good old fashioned "thank yous" to the good folks you've got.
Thanks for reading.

Nelson's Ice Cream -- the longtime Stillwater institution known for its monster scoops -- is coming to St. Paul.
Owners Dave Najarian and Bill Bergstrom announced Wednesday that they plan to open a second location at 454 S. Snelling Ave. on May 17. The men have owned the Stillwater location, which has been an ice-cream parlor since 1923, for eight years.
"We have had the pleasure of ensuring that the historic ice cream store remained operating in Stillwater," Najarian said. "We are excited to expand to St. Paul so more people can enjoy the variety, quality and value of our ice cream that Nelson's has consistently provided for more than 90 years."
The second store will be owned and managed by Najarian's son, Daved, a recent graduate of Gustavus Adolphus College who helped manage the Stillwater location. The new shop will be in the former Palumbo's Pizzeria near the corner of Snelling and Randolph avenues.
"It's the same family, it's the same formula. We're just going to duplicate all the great things that are at Nelson's," said Daved Najarian.
The ice cream parlor is known for its variety -- it sells more than 40 flavors -- and a monstrosity called the "Lumberjack," which features five softball-size scoops of ice cream and toppings. "If you eat it alone, we'll take your picture, and you'll be forever enshrined on our Wall of Fame," Daved Najarian said.
Nelson's will be open from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Monday through Saturday and noon to 10 p.m. Sunday.

Why does Easter seem to go on forever?
At the heart of our faith is the Passion, death, and Resurrection of Jesus. We celebrate this mystery—this Paschal Mystery—every Sunday, in every Eucharist. Yet since the first century we have set aside one Sunday a year, in conjunction with the full moon of spring and the Jewish Passover, to celebrate the Paschal Mystery in a most solemn way.

Jackson/Detroit Free Press
Under a deal that would spin off the Detroit Institute of Arts from city ownership to an independent nonprofit trust, an array of groups have offered in exchange $815 million specifically for Detroits two pension funds. Private foundations have pledged $365 million, the State of Michigan $350 million, and the DIA has pledged to raise $100 million.

■ Full coverage: Detroits financial crisis
In the citys bankruptcy restructuring plan, filed in bankruptcy court Feb. 21, the city offered pension fund cuts of:
■ Up to 10% from the Police and Fire Retirement System, considered the better funded of Detroits two independently controlled pension funds.
■ Up to 34% from the General Retirement System.
■ Those numbers would drop to 6% and 26%, respectively, if the two pension funds agree to support the citys plan of adjustment.

I'm in 150, but I run a conveyor. I'm not sure if scale is the same for the pump guys, but we're at $45.10 an hour. Work is very slow these days though.
IUOE is $27 plus $12 for benifits. Downside is there has been very little work and lots of non union competition.
damn, some area's are pretty nice as far as wages go for pump operators.Some of you fellas make more than alot of college "edumacated" people . LOL Anything over $20/hr is pretty exceptional .
But I will say one thing you men and women earn every dollar you can get paid for , operating boom pumps takes guts and grit and its not for the faint of heart for sure.

Each boy died of a single gunshot wound to the head, and it's not clear whether the younger boy's shooting was intentional or an accident. "I don't know if we'll ever know," the Jackson police chief tells the AP. The bodies were found in an upstairs bedroom of the home, where both boys lived, WSAZ reports.

So the mayor and Sup. Bevan Dufty have officially dropped the ball. They have decided to (more or less unilaterally) eliminate any sort of Castro Street celebration, but they have nothing to replace it with.
So what happens when a bunch of partiers still decided to go to the Castro and have fun? What if bar owners decide to defy Dufty and stay open that night? Read more »

Mash-ups are a special kind of math: the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. While I like dancing to Britney Spears (her early years) as much as the next thirteen-year-old-masked-as-an-adult, and while Bon Jovi fills me with a juvenile joy few other bands can evoke from me, hearing the two mixed together is something else entirely: I wouldn't say transcendent, because I have no illusions that pop music (and dance music, for the most part) is best when taken at face value.

I'm really glad Paul Hogarth of Beyond Chron got to ask Hillary Clinton a tough question at the YearlyKos conference. And I'm glad his excellent query got some media bounce.

Ah, the end of summer.

|Good prognosis for dilated cardiomyopathy without severe heart failure or arrhythmia.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 2385738 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|In 124 patients with dilated cardiomyopathy, symptoms of heart failure and ventricular arrhythmia at initial assessment were related to outcome a mean of 43 months later. Using life table analysis, the two-year mortality from progressive heart failure was 59 per cent (90 per cent symptoms, six per cent (1-11 per cent) for patients with class 2 symptoms and zero for patients with class 1 symptoms. The two-year mortality from sudden death was 18 per cent (5-32 per cent) for patients with class 3 symptoms, eight per cent (3-14 per cent) for patients with class 2 symptoms and seven per cent (0-17 per cent) for patients with class 1 symptoms. Sudden death was more frequent in patients with ventricular tachycardia or frequent ventricular ectopics, irrespective of the severity of heart failure (15 per cent (7-23 per cent) vs. three per cent (0-8 per cent) at two years). These findings suggest that patients with dilated cardiomyopathy and mild symptoms often have a benign clinical course. However, occult ventricular arrhythmia is associated with an increased risk of sudden death.

Five Pitchers Who Will Be Knocking On 20:
1. Roy Halladay, he's the first pitcher to ten wins this season, and his stuff is tremendous, but if his hitters keep slumping, and the rest of the division remains tough, Halladay may not be as "sure thing" to get to twenty wins.
2. Johan Santana, some argue him as the best pitcher in the league, with a low ERA, he's already got nine wins, but he rarely gets run support, so he'll be around 20 maybe not passing it though.
3. CC Sabathia, some might call this pick a homer, but he gets better with every start, as he has done every year, with seven wins as of now, his team is starting to hit again, only spelling g-o-o-d things for CC.
4. Kevin Slowey, tied for the most wins right now, with ten, all he needs to do is double that, and his team may currently have the hottest bats in all of baseball. And his era is only 4.04, now I said only, that's a stretch, I know, but I say it because the Twins easily score over 4 runs a game.
5. Tim Lincecum, on one of the worst hitting teams, he's got seven wins right now, and leads the league in K's, so he could catch fire and chase a back-to-back NL Cy Young Award.
The Rest Of The Best:
Zack Duke, Josh Beckett, Tim Wakefield, Zack Greinke, Matt Cain, all of these are the other top contenders for twenty wins, as there are more, these are the ones who deserve to be watched with that careful eye, as to select just five top winning pitchers is very tough.
Veteran's With A Chance:
Andy Pettitte, seven wins so far, and he's got really tough stuff right now, hard to hit, and he get's run support too!
Randy Johnson, one who doesn't get as much run support regularly, he still is pitching tough at over 40 years of age, he also has seven wins.
Comment's To Be Quoted Section:
It'd be nice to see Beckett get there, and he does have a small chance. I'm guessing Wakefield slows down in the second half, I'd be shocked to see him finish with 20. - Gocavs33
Response: I would expect Beckett to reach it, although Wakefield with his age and knucklers probably won't make it.

ENB - Region 7 Notices 5/25/2011
Negative Declaration
Madison County - The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYS DEC), as lead agency, has determined that the proposed Madison RA #1, Stands D-12 and 13 Herbicide Application will not have a significant adverse environmental impact. The action involves an herbicide application to reduce the abundance of interfering woody vegetation to a level that would allow the natural regeneration of desired tree species. The action is to take place on 23 acres of mixed hardwood and hemlock forest. The herbicide application seeks to control interfering vegetation consisting of beech, striped maple, ironwood, hay-scented fern, and New York fern. The dominance of this vegetation in the forest understory prevents adequate regeneration of desirable tree species from becoming established. Removal of the interfering vegetation will facilitate the natural regeneration of hard maple, red maple, black cherry, yellow birch, basswood and other northern hardwood species, creating a healthy diverse natural forest.
The application method used will be by backpack sprayer applying herbicides only to the target species within the application area. The application will follow label instructions minimizing risk to both the applicant and the environment. The project is located in the Madison Reforestation Area #1, Charles E. Baker State Forest, Stands D-12 and 13. The stands are located east of Brown Road, 2.4 miles north of its intersection with Furman Mills Road, within the Town of Brookfield, New York.
Contact: Jason Schoellig, NYS DEC - Region 7 Sherburne Sub-Office, Division of Lands and Forests, 2715 State Highway 80, Sherburne, NY 13460, Phone: (607) 674-4017 extension 607.
Madison County - The Town of Lincoln Town Board, as lead agency, has determined that the proposed Adoption of Local Law # 2011-2 to adopt the Town of Lincoln 2011 Land Management Law and Land Use Map will not have a significant adverse environmental impact. The action involves the adoption of Local Law # 2011-2 which will revise the zoning law and zoning map to replace the 1999 zoning law and map. The project is located throughout the Town of Lincoln, New York.
Contact: Rosanne Warner, Town of Lincoln, 7262 Oxbow Road, Canastota, NY 13032, Phone: (315) 697-8837.
Onondaga County - Onondaga County, as lead agency, has determined that the proposed Terminal Reservoir Covered Storage Project will not have a significant adverse environmental impact. The Onondaga County Metropolitan Water Board (MWB) serves as the administrative entity for the Onondaga County Water District, which owns approximately 40 acres of land in the Town of Clay, New York. The MWB maintains facilities on the Clay site consisting of an administrative building, pumping station (Farrell Pumping Station), and 30 million gallon reservoir (Terminal Reservoir). Terminal Reservoir serves as a central terminal to receive finished (treated) water conveyed from the water treatment plant and subsequently transfer that water to storage facilities. Terminal Reservoir is an uncovered reservoir. To comply with the requirements of the United States Environmental Protection Agency's Long-Term 2 Enhanced Surface Water Treatment Rule (LT2ESWTR), the MWB must cover the reservoir, replace it with tanks, or disinfect the water leaving the reservoir. The MWB proposes to replace the reservoir with two (2) 15 million gallon water tanks. The new tanks will be positioned immediately south of the existing reservoir. The existing reservoir will be removed. The project also involves the rerouting of power and underground piping to the new tanks, as well as modifications to the Farrell Pump Station to improve overall system reliability and reduce energy consumption. Operations at the MWB site will be maintained during construction activities. The project is located at 4170 Route 31 in the Town of Clay, New York.
Contact: I. Holly Rosenthal, Onondaga County, 4170 Route 31, Clay, NY 13041-8739, Phone: (315) 652-8658.
Oswego County - The Town Board of the Town of Richland, as lead agency, has determined that the proposed Comprehensive Plan will not have a significant adverse environmental impact. The action involves the adoption of the proposed Town of Richland / Village of Pulaski December 2010 Comprehensive Plan. The project is located throughout the Town of Richland and the Village of Pulaski, New York.
Contact: Allison Nelson, Nelson Law Firm, 89 East First Street, Oswego, NY 13126, Phone: (315) 312-0318.

In Memoriam: Thelma Shinn Richard
Thelma Shinn Richard (1942 - 2013)
| Emeritus professor Thelma Shinn Richard passed away unexpectedly on Thursday, January 24, 2013, in Olalla, Washington. She leaves behind her husband Jon Richard, three daughters who live in Arizona, and two sons, one in West Lafayette, IN, and the other in San Antonio, TX.
Thelma first came to the English department at ASU in 1975 and retired in 2004, moving on to work alongside her husband Jon Richard in a literary agency they started together. Along the way, she had Fulbrights to Spain and South Africa, traveled widely, made connections everywhere, and effectively mentored several generations of students. At various points, she was associate, acting, and interim chair of the department, always stepping up for the greater good and enjoying the confidence of her colleagues. Her range of interests was unbounded.
The English department and members of the ASU community along with friends and family held a celebration of Thelma's life on Saturday, March 9, in the Memorial Union. The program included music, a poem for Thelma written by Bettie Anne Doebler, a visual presentation of Thelma's many accomplishments and life-affirming adventures, followed by remarks shared by friends and family. A Memory Book, filled with anecdotes and faculty remembrances was presented to the family. A reception followed.
Friends and family spoke from their hearts and recounted some vivid, enduring memories, at once humorous, touching, and inspiring. The great, good life she lived was well-remembered. Not the least among all the stories was a single common denominator: the clear zest for life she exhibited in all things.
At the gathering, I was able to add that one of my abiding memories of Thelma—how, from the very first time I met her, she smiled, and then she smiled at me every single time thereafter. The smile was invariably genuine. It took me awhile to understand that I was in an English department and that her smile was not simply a smile but a metaphor as well. With this gracious gesture, she taught me that this was the single most effective way to conduct business and friendship both, always moving forward with something first from the heart. This was the way I, too, wanted to move in all things. Her "Thelma" was contagious.

TSX Venture: "DAL" EDMONTON, Jan. 23, 2013 /CNW/ - John Babic, President and CEO of Dalmac Energy Inc. ("Dalmac") (TSX Venture "DAL") is pleased to provide revenue guidance and a corporate update to shareholders and investors. The third quarter is typically the Company's busiest and this year has been no different. Dalmac is well on its way to again posting record revenues for the current fiscal year ending April 30, 2013 with sales expected to exceed $40 million. Dalmac further reports that is has been successful in acquiring several new contracts, the largest of which is for a major North American producer which has committed to a specified number of Dalmac's truck fleet to be utilized on a 24-hour standby basis until spring break-up. This is a significant contract for Dalmac which can be expanded into further revenue opportunities with this top tier client. The Company has also taken delivery of a number of new trucks, trailers, pickers and other equipment as part of its previously reported $6.5 million equipment expansion. The equipment is fully booked upon service commencement. The remainder of the equipment, valued at approximately $3 million, is expected to be delivered by mid-February 2013. Approximately 75% of the Company's annual revenue is recurring work, i.e. fluid transfers and servicing of existing production, while the remaining 25% iscontributed fromdrilling, fracing, completions and maintenance work for new and existing customers.The Company has been actively overhauling its equipment inventory over the past few months as it ramps up its fleet to meet stringent operating parameters and increasing demand. While staffing levels and wage costs in the industry continue to be challenging, Dalmac is confident that current positive industry indicators, an expanded rental fleet, and recently booked equipment contracts will continue to translate into strong revenue growth through fiscal 2013 and well into fiscal 2014. The TSX Venture Exchange does not accept responsibility for the adequacy or accuracy of this release. We seek Safe Harbor. Doren Quinton QIS Capital Corp.

Location and Flexibility: Right in the heart of Berlin. Optimal floor configurations, great service and timeless style.
Gross floor space: 10,000 m²
Events: for more than 2,000 participants
Meeting spaces: up to 30
Technology: tomorrow's standards
Catering: methodical and delicious
Equanimity: thanks to our years of experience
Recommended for the effective orchestration of great event concepts.
On top of other meetings and events, around 50 large-scale conferences take place every year at the bcc. Each of these attracts between 500 and 1,000 attendees, features expositions from high-profile national and international industry leaders and can last for up to three days. Many of these clients take advantage of the bcc's infrastructure to host their own evening events, including parties and gala dinners.
With 70 permanent employees, we at the bcc consider ourselves an exemplary provider of event-oriented services. We concentrate on those services that we can provide smarter and more efficiently than external companies. All services in the bcc are coordinated with each other – conceptually, technically and aesthetically. The result is a fully-integrated product – much more than the mere combination of space, technology and catering.
Innovation, investments and continuous fine-tuning have allowed the bcc to improve year after year since opening its doors in 2003. This year, we are once again making extensive investments in personnel and equipment (technology, kitchen, facility management), to keep improving our overall service.
Many of our clients return again because our employees' calm and composed professionalism helps them save costs and avoid stress. Among our over 70 permanent employees are engineers, theatre and event technicians, many trained event managers and now six chefs.
Since 2014, we have taken charge of the entire area of catering as an integral part of our company's in-house services. Quality can therefore be achieved with even more reliability. After a food tasting at the latest it will be clear: Five star catering does not need to be brought in to the bcc – it is already right here on home turf.

Computer users need good habits
Behavioral experts say that one of the best ways to drop a bad habit is to replace it with a new good habit. If you have a computer that constantly acts up, you probably need to develop a few good tech habits.
Most computer problems aren't catastrophic, and you can fix them yourself. Upgrading to fancier software or shopping around for a new computer will cost you time and money.
Buying and installing extra RAM often fixes the dreaded Blue Screen of Death and other problems. Find out what kind of memory your computer takes with a free scanner. Installing new RAM is a breeze.
Cleaning out the clutter on your hard drive is another easy solution. Grab the free PC Decrapifier to remove trial programs and bloatware in a snap, then open up Duplicate Cleaner and CCleaner to clear out duplicate files and fix errors in your Windows registry.
When you have to buy a new computer or other piece of tech gear, watch out for the booby traps.
Extended warranties, for example, can add hundreds of dollars to the price of your purchase. They're usually bad investments, unless you're buying an expensive laptop.
You'll also save money by buying extra RAM and hard-drive upgrades and installing them yourself.
Far too many computer and gadget users don't bother to create passwords and leave their home wireless networks open for others to use. Or else they come up with passwords that are easy to hack, such as "password" and "123456."
The trick to passwords is striking a balance between security and convenience. You want it strong and long enough to repel the bad guys. But you also don't want to spend 4 minutes tapping out a cryptic code every time you need to use it.

There are thousands of strains of viruses, worms and other malware circulating on the Internet. Running up-to-date security software on your computer is a top priority.
An unprotected Windows computer can pick up a file-erasing, information-stealing bug in under a minute.
Macs aren't immune to viruses, either, as last year's outbreak of the Flashback Trojan proved. That monster wreaked havoc on more than 600,000 Macs. Every computer you own should have an anti-virus program, a firewall and an antispyware program.
Another huge threat right now is security holes in Java, a programming language Web browsers use to run interactive content. When a vulnerable version of Java is active in a Web browser, visiting a compromised website is all it takes for crooks to give you malware.
In most cases, you won't even know your computer is compromised until it's too late. To stay safe, stop using Java — or stay on top of the upgrades and use Java a lot more guardedly.
Data loss isn't a question of if; it's a question of when. Your photos, songs, financial information, art projects and business presentations are on there. Paying a technician to recover information from a failed hard drive will cost you a bundle.
Backing up to an external drive is better than nothing. But external hard drives fail, too, and can be stolen.
Use a system that backs up to the cloud so it's safe from fire, theft and flood. You also want your backup made automatically. For both, I recommend Carbonite. Two other popular backup services are Mozy and Backblaze.

Susan G. Komen and Planned Parenthood: The Bigger Story
6th February 2012
Planned Parenthood and the Susan G. Komen Foundation: The Bigger Story?
(WashingtonsBlog) – While giant breast cancer organization Susan G. Komen Foundation's decision to cut off funding for Planned Parenthood – and it's reversal in the face of a backlash – is certainly newsworthy, there may be a much bigger story.
As the Daily Beast notes, this is more about business than charity: Read the rest of this entry »

I didn't end up flying back to Wyoming to help my 72 year old father hunt moose. Pretty sad, but military committments got in the way as usual.
Anyway he shot a big dry cow on Union Pass, the skinned carcass weighed 550 pounds, so it was a big cow. Huge cow.
They had a couple of grizzly rodeos getting her out, but the bears kept far enough away to make it work.
As is normal luck, on the way down the mountain he saw a huge 6x6 bull standing in one of the big parks at about 5:30 in the afternoon. He told me he got out watched him feed for a couple minuites, loaded his rifle, lifted his rifle up and decided he had enough meat for the season.
I told him I probably woudln't have had that kind of composure.
This was my father's 7th moose, 2 in Wyoming, 1 in Alberta and 4 in Alaska.

SRI: Invest With Your Heart and Soul
Portfolio managers and individual investors are wise to choose socially responsible investing (SRI), which looks to benefit the environment, corporate governance, diversity, and humane treatment of animals. Pro or con?
Pro: Wallets United
The reasons for personal and corporate philanthropic investing vary as much as the people who give and the types of organizations to which they contribute. However one overriding factor generally holds true: We want our money to do the most good.
In my years as a consultant to philanthropic organizations, I have found that too often people overlook an entire other branch of money with which to do good—their investment dollars. We divide our money into two "wallets," the funds we donate to charity and the money we invest. What we forget is that while our money may be stored in two wallets, it's all from the same source.
An example: Person A decides to donate $2,000 to an environmental group from his charity wallet. A worthy cause, but perhaps he fails to realize that some of the money from his investment wallet is funding companies that pollute the air, the very thing he wants to decrease. It doesn't make much sense to fight a problem with one hand and fuel it with the other.
Person B has the same amount of money, $2,000, to donate. She too wants to do her part to clean up the environment. However, in addition to her donations, she uses her investments to work for her goals. By investing in environmentally friendly companies, she ensures her investments don't fight her philanthropy. This is what socially responsible investing (SRI) is all about.
Certainly, there is no guarantee that Person B will make more money on her investments than Person A. But there is also no guarantee that Person A will make more from his investments. The only sure thing is that Person B allocated several of her assets to do good, not just her charitable gifts.
Con: Delusional Goodwill
It's January, 2000. You manage or are investing in a fund that has decided to "do well by doing good" by investing in "good" companies—corporations deemed by KLD, Domini, Calvert, or other social researchers as progressive on the environment (no nuclear plants; against genetically modified organisms), corporate governance (independent boards), diversity (for gay rights; promoting women), and the like.
What do the socially responsible investments experts recommend? Enron is the centerfold for having independent directors. Krispy Kreme (KKD) is very charitable. Cendant is renowned for its diversity. HealthSouth (HLS) is involved in communities.
All imploded. And almost every one of the corporations that crashed for ethical reasons in recent years—Tyco (TYCO), Adelphia, WorldCom, Rite Aid (RAD), Qwest (Q), Global Crossing (GLBC), Lucent (ALU), and Kmart—were on SRI "buy" lists.
The dark secret of SRI is that it is neither art nor science: It's image and impulse. It reflects ideological litmus tests, not social performance. U.S. stocks have an aggregate capitalization of $16 trillion. Selling one that is perceived as bad has no more impact than scooping a thimbleful of water out of the deep end of the pool.
And SRI-screened stocks certainly did not outperform the market as advocates claimed before the market headed into the buzz saw of the 2001 meltdown. Calvert's and Domini's two largest stock funds have lagged the S&P benchmark and its category competitors over 3-, 5-, and 10-year periods, costing investors and pension funds billions of dollars in potential returns. A Wharton study calculated that funds with ideological screens perform worse than the general market by 31 basis points—a month.
The use of social criteria may be fine for the affluent who gamble their own money as a feel-good, vanity investment—but for those who can't afford to take a chance, SRI is a bad bet.

George Thomas built this modified Swampscott Dory from plans and instructions given in John Gardner's book, Building Classic Small Craft (available from The WoodenBoat Store). George planked the boat with cedar on oak frames, and seats and trim of mahogany. The spars are Douglas-fir and the sail was made by Nat Wilson of East Boothbay, Maine. George launched the dory in Lake Winnipesaukee last July.

text: Turkey Ready for Those Border Missiles Germany expects request to be made to NATO today By Matt Cantor, Newser User Posted Nov 19, 2012 8:23 AM CST STORY COMMENTS (1) (Newser) – Turkey said it wanted Patriot missiles along its border with Syria, and it's set to make that request official today by formally asking NATO for said missiles, Germany's defense minister says. Germany, the Netherlands, and the US are the only countries within NATO that could provide the weaponry, Reuters notes. "If a partner now asks us for such a measure, it is clear for us that we will face this in an open way and with solidarity," says the defense minister. "But if we have a deployment of Patriots on the Turkish border, then this will happen with German soldiers." NATO's secretary-general notes that any missile deployment would not also mean imposing a no-fly zone over Syrian territory, a key demand of Syrian opposition groups, reports the AP. "If we are to deploy Patriot missiles it would be purely a defensive measure to defend and protect Turkey," he said.

Moving swiftly on...
If I had to name the two eras in English history that set my heart singing the loudest, they are:
1. The early nineteenth century, the age of steam, of railways of social mobility, the move from country to city, the spread of the dark satanic mills over England's green and pleasant land and the beginnings of the modern age. It is the setting for Hope against Hope, my only published novel so far. That was a labour of pure love.
2. The Anglo-Saxons, their language, their often-disregarded culture and elegance. Their poetry is sublime. Who can read The Dream of the Rood, The Wanderer or The Seafarer and not be moved? (Here is a modern translation of The Seafarer although modern English cannot capture the rhyming patterns, the alliteration, the imagery and the music in Anglo-Saxon poetry.) It was all swept away. As the Normans were the conquerors they got to write the history. Even though the Anglo-Saxons remain a stubborn bunch, the Normans were brutal and snobbish and the Anglo-Saxons have since been tarred as the rough peasants, the resentful serfs. Even today, English aristocrats like to talk about their forebears who sailed with William, who gave them their titles and their castles, stealing the land from the people who had made it what it was. I can never forgive the Normans for what has become known as 'the harrying of the North' - a poetic term for what was genocide. That's how they dealt with dissent. When the Domesday book describes much of the land north of the Trent as 'waste', this was because it lacked the bounty of the South, it was because the Normans torched the land and slaughtered men, women and children in their hundreds. I blame them for the so-called North/South divide. They perpetuated the myth that the South is prosperous and hard-working and the North as work-shy and uncultured that still persists I remember a television programme (or perhaps a book) in which the historian, Michael Wood related a conversation with a descendant of Field Marshall Montgomery - or even the man himself, for reasons I can't remember. The meeting did not go well. Michael later realised it was because his ancestors were Anglo-Saxon and this man's were Normans. I could push this analogy further and declare that Asda shoppers are Anglo-Saxons and Waitrose aficionados are Norman. But that's just me. Anyway, yes: The Anglo-Saxons. Love them to bits. The period was the setting for my most successful published story. The Millennium Miracle. I wrote it in 1998 and is about the coming of the very first Millennium set in a poor monastery on the North East Coast facing Viking attacks. It was a rare thing for me: a comic story that fell almost fully formed from my brain. It was a hoot to write and fortunately it was well-received, won a prestigious competition and earned me a great deal of money. But it's no longer in print. Time moves on.
So back to now and I ask myself why is The Lark Ascending, currently doing the rounds of publishers, set immediately after the First World War and why oh why have I embarked on a journey into the early fourteenth century?
Thinking about it now, I believe that my characters are all divided between the Old English and the Normans. I have given my medieval protagonist an Anglo Saxon name. Even my twentieth century characters are ordinary English folk. People with aspirations as well as a stubbornness They do as they're told but carry on regardless with sullen defiance.
I look for stories, not about Kings, Queens and Great People not about Movers and Shakers. I write about ordinary people living their lives coping with extraordinary changes. Whether they be war or disaster, epidemics economic downturns that hits them, it's how ordinary people cope with them, the people who never get to make the important decisions that fascinate me, people who have to make the best what's thrown at them - but often do the wrong things entirely. This is my background My family have never been destitute (although the fear of The Workhouse hung over them even after they'd gone) nor rich. I come from a line of craftsmen and shop-keepers. We are undistinguished Anglo-Saxon East-Midlanders. We don't join belong to any club, movement or organisation. We don't follow footballers or any other sports team. Family names are Smith, Roff, Bond and Avins: plain, dull names: people who throughout history only ever half-listened, nodded, done what they were told then carried on their own way..Bloody awkward some people would call us.
My Lady of Rosedale is set right slap bang where I now live. Rosedale Abbey is my village, the countryside rugged, remote, bleak in winter. Its people are reserved and secretive. The name is historically wrong. There never was an Abbey here and the first question most tourists tend to ask when they step out of their cars is 'Where's the Abbey?'
|Forlorn Remains
Basically there never was an abbey. What there was was a small priory containing no more than ten nuns at any one time. It was founded in 1154 and ended in 1536 by Henry III's Dissolution. Very little is known about it: what it looked like, where exactly its foundations are or the women who lived in it. There is still confusion about whether it was Benedictine, Cistercian or Gilbertine. However poor it was, its business - sheep breeding - made money and its wool exported and highly prized. Maybe it wasn't poor at all. Or more likely its fortunes wavered. Records are scarce or are lost in some dusty archive somewhere. This is bad for historians but a fabulous opportunity for novelists. I have chosen to set my story in in the early fourteen century before the arrival of the Black Death in Yorkshire. It was a time of warfare between the Scots and the English. There were two local battles and plenty of brutal attacks by Scottish raiders. It was a time or poor harvests and famine, all rich pickings. In my story a strange woman arrives at the priory. Is she the miracle they all crave or The Devil sent to lead them astray?
So, a lot of work is needed. Historical fiction is never the easiest option. Although the imagination can be let loose, the history has to be firmly set in concrete or the whole structure collapses.
Good Heavens.
This post was intended to be an introduction to a new, occasional series about the way I approach and write a new novel. I've called it Back to Basics. I was supposed to begin by discussing whether I am a Plotter or a Pantser. If you Google this phrase you'll come up with loads of hits. This one is as good as any and better than most. I've finally come to the conclusion I'm neither - that family bloody awkwardness again!
But that will have to wait until next time. Now back to my nuns.

Blago Reacts to Ryan Verdict
April 18, 2006
"Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich says he's cleaning up messes left over from former governor George Ryan.
Blagojevich defended his own administration against claims of corruption.
The Governor says, ""It's sad and unfortunate that the finger-pointing has begun by some of the very people who entrusted by the public responsibility during the Ryan years.""
Blagojevich adds, ""They didn't lift a finger. They didn't say a word. They didn't try to change anything.""
He says the verdict in the George Ryan trial clearly shows that the former governor betrayed the public trust.
Governor Blagojevich is running for re-election against Republican Judy Baar Topinka."

Tomek Wisniewski, a Polish historian of Jewish life in Poland, was born in 1958. He graduated from Warsaw University in 1984 and spent nine months in prison during war time in Poland. He is the author of three books and has written over one hundred articles about Jewish culture, history, and social life, especially in the Bialystok region.
Jewish Market in Bialystok(T. Wisniewski)
His desire is to preserve the richness of Jewish culture and to bring an understanding to his fellow Poles. He is now working as a journalist for a daily newspaper in Bialystok, Kurier Poranny.
Tomek Wisniewski is ". . . a non-Jew who discovered his city's Jewish history....He now devotes his time to recording what is left of Jewish culture and history in the Bialystok region. . . ." says Ruth Ellen Gruber in Jewish Heritage Travel: A Guide to Central and Eastern Europe (New York: 1992)."
"Although we have never met Mr. Wisniewski, we have had extensive correspondence with him over the past few years. . . . He has uncovered a number of documents dealing with business transactions and vital statistics on individual bearing our family surname. He is currently involved in a project of translating tombstones in Jewish cemeteries. . . ." Morris Ziff, Ph.D. and M.D., in letter to Sol Krim, editor of Bialystock Shtimme (NYC), 18 September 1995.
