Les Folies Bergère fractal art quilt
© Rose Rushbrooke 2005
47" x 46"
Pattern: Original fractal design based on the Mandelbrot Set, mirrored and flipped.
Medium: Hand dyed and printed cotton and silk fabrics.
Technique: Hand pieced, embellished, and quilted.
This piece was begun several years before it was finished. It is entirely hand pieced, hand embellished and quilted. The centrepiece is made from furrowed hand dyed silk stitched down with glass beads and perle cotton.
An intensely feminine and voluptuous piece. Everything is curved, including the edge. The colouring is soft and pastel - the centre is fluttery and frilly, reminiscent of the image Edouard Manet painted of Suzon at the Folies Bergère in Paris.
The centrepiece is echoed by little scattered tufts of thread, like inappropriate bursts of hair on the body.
Techniques used in this piece:
- curved pieces are seamed together by hand;
- hand dyed silk fabric is furrowed by stitching down with glass beads and floss;
- the little tufts are created with tied embroidery floss;
- the piece is quilted entirely by hand.

Using a proven factory approach and best-practice migration processes, the Oracle Migration Factory reduces traditional risks and costs associated with migration projects by focusing on these key principles:
Oracle's Migration Factory automates both key portions of the pre-migration process and the end-to-end migration process itself. By providing an online utility for the capturing of information about assets to be migrated, there is no need to use offline means to gather information and feed into an estimator since the Oracle Migration Factory takes care of that. A comprehensive set of business rules then provides an accurate estimate for completion of the migration and a detailed migration plan. That migration plan is executed within the Oracle Migration Factory itself, with many tasks automated via migration tools and the rest completed by architects and factory workers following prescribed guidance from the Oracle Migration Factory.
A factory must have an assembly line and a defined set of activities along that line to maximize efficiency and quality. This is exactly what the Oracle Migration Factory provides. Once a database or other asset to be migrated is discovered, the Oracle Migration Factory takes over the task of defining the steps involved and how long each step will take based on the size and complexity of the asset, and then assigns work to trained factory workers. These factory workers are experts not just in the entire asset migration, but are focused on specific tasks within a migration, leading to specialized factory workers who can perform their tasks with maximum speed and accuracy. This repeatable migration process within the Oracle Migration Factory leads to continual improvement and increased automation each time, constantly learning how to deliver faster and better results.
The Oracle Migration Factory is designed from the ground up to be driven by data. Everything is keyed around a large set of information discovered about the assets to be migrated. As Oracle professionals, we know better than anyone how to help customers migrate to Oracle products, what steps to follow, and how long it will take. The Oracle Migration Factory is the only Oracle-endorsed source for storing that information. What we do with that information within the Factory allows us to measure the accuracy of our steps and the effort required to complete each step for every migration we perform, so we can give you an honest, accurate, and real-time expected completion date. These measurements are also fed back into the Oracle Migration Factory business rules, so every subsequent migration becomes even more accurate.
The Oracle Migration Factory is built on a cutting edge Oracle platform. What this means to you is that all of the benefits that Oracle technology provides are available when you employ our Factory. Stakeholders will receive periodic dashboards with details about each asset being migrated. Project Managers will be able to drill down into each step in the migration and view actual effort as it relates to the overall migration plan. Factory Workers will be given a task-based dashboard with each task on their to-do list, estimated completion date, and detailed guidance helping them complete each task. The entire migration process within the Oracle Migration Factory is monitorable.
The Oracle Migration Factory is a self-service tool, allowing our best and brightest Oracle technologists full access to define their migration steps, author complete content describing each task, and define complex business rules that take results of asset discovery and feed into a migration estimate. This openness and flexibility creates a model that our customers can take advantage of. Working closely with Oracle Consulting, full migration processes can be defined and put into place, all within the Oracle Migration Factory.

Top Jobs for Couples Abroad
Posted by February 16, 2015in Travelon
Having the chance to work with your significant other and explore the world is a special thing. For those couples who choose to work jobs for couples abroad, nothing could be more rewarding or beneficial for their relationship. The shared commitment to working hard and growing together can bring you and your loved one closer than ever before.
If you and your significant other have decided to look for employment in places other than your home country, you will want to choose a good fit. We've compiled this list of the top jobs for couples abroad to help you in your search:
Restaurant Management
Many restaurants- large and small- are constantly looking for efficient management teams abroad. Usually offering boarding near the restaurant, owner's offer employment for couples as both chefs and management staff, preferring the powerful teamwork that goes along with working together in a relationship.
Vineyard Staff
For years, couples have traveled together to Marlborough, New Zealand, in order to work the world famous vineyards and wineries. One of the most culturally rewarding jobs for couples abroad, vineyard administration is a great way to learn a master craft together, and the price of living is relatively low. In addition, you will get plenty of vacation time to explore the beautiful beaches and jungles of New Zealand!
Teaching English
A long-time favorite, teaching English in another country is one of the jobs for couples abroad supported by the United Nations and other global outreach groups. Couples routinely spend one-year engagements teaching in impoverished or underdeveloped regions in exchange for adequate compensation or living expenses.
Small Business Management
Starting a small business with your significant other is an alternative to traditional job searches abroad. With the proper research, business licenses, and capital, you could be on your way to the next big international product or service company. Best of all, you get to create your own jobs for couples abroad and set your own hours!
While there is adventure and risk involved, finding jobs for couples abroad with your significant other has the possibility to bring life-long enjoyment and rewards. Take the time to carefully consider what such a move will mean to you, and if you can support your decisions. Hopefully these suggestions will set you on the path to happiness!

Ever since I started this blog, more and more people have come to me with questions regarding gluten-related illnesses. I am ecstatic to be able to help spread awareness, and hopefully answer some questions, or at the very least steer someone in the right direction. I would also like for this blog to be used as a resource for those with celiac disease, a place to share personal stories and concerns, as well as a motivational kick to start for any new routine. Let me share my vision with you!
My Vision
I envisioned that my findings would bring relief to those who are able to relate. Starting a new diet, especially for allergy reasons, can be very difficult, confusing, and intimidating. I wanted to have one place for someone to go, where they would be able to piece together what might be troubling them. Whether it's just one symptom that seems to be so odd that you never thought it would relate to much, or a plethora of symptoms that come together and now somehow make sense.
One of the greatest visions I have for this site is for you to tell your story. I encourage you to comment on an article that relates to you, and give someone else the opportunity to find comfort in your words. Each person has a different relationship with gluten. Many are similar, but no two are exactly alike. Telling your story might give another reader to relate and therefore find inspiration from your story. That is what this site is all about.
I don't want anyone to feel afraid or embarrassed to discuss sensitive topics, for I have personally been through a lot of the issues discussed in this site. It's like Dr. Seuss said,
"Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind."
You may leave your story or comment in the comment section below each article. That will have to do for now as this blog is still young, or until I enable a discussion board. I won't be adding a forum until I see more willing participants though, so the more you interact with the site, the more it will grow! The comments you post may be anonymous, as only I will be able to see your email. I will not disclose your email nor make any attempts to contact you unless you state otherwise.
A Great Resource
Please feel free to read through the articles I have written. The more and more I read about this disease, the more interesting it becomes. I have so much to add, and so much I want to write, and in time there will be a wealth of information at your fingertips! It takes time to research each topic, and I do my best to read as much as I can about each article. The best way I know how to present information to you is by directly quoting from the source and linking each article for you to read yourself as well. There is so much out there to read, and I understand how much time it takes to do the research, which is why I am doing it for you!
That is one of the best things about what this site offers, in my opinion. I find all the information that I can, and I share it with the world. There are many wonderful blogs and sites out there which offer similar avenues of retaining wonderful information about celiac disease. I encourage them to visit my related blog list, that way we can stay connected as a source for all of our readers. I strongly believe that the more information we know, the better off we will be! I am so excited to watch My Gluten Free Quest grow, and hopefully it will change a few lives along the way!
I am so happy that in the short amount of time that I have started this blog, so many people have contacted me and begun to question their own symptoms. I am here to lend you any sort of professional medical advice or counseling services, however I am here for you to lend support as would a friend. If you find that even one small portion of this site is relatable to you, I would like for you to take a moment and connect. Your participation is key!

Pinus pinaster Ait. is a major resin producing species in Spain. Genetic linkage mapping can facilitate marker-assisted selection (MAS) through the identification of Quantitative Trait Loci and selection of allelic variants of interest in breeding populations. In this study, we report annotated genetic linkage maps for two individuals (C14 and C15) belonging to a breeding program aiming to increase resin production. We use different types of DNA markers, including last-generation molecular markers.
We obtained 13 and 14 linkage groups for C14 and C15 maps, respectively. A total of 211 and 215 markers were positioned on each map and estimated genome length was between 1,870 and 2,166 cM respectively, which represents near 65% of genome coverage. Comparative mapping with previously developed genetic linkage maps for P. pinaster based on about 60 common markers enabled aligning linkage groups to this reference map. The comparison of our annotated linkage maps and linkage maps reporting QTL information revealed 11 annotated SNPs in candidate genes that co-localized with previously reported QTLs for wood properties and water use efficiency.
This study provides genetic linkage maps from a Spanish population that shows high levels of genetic divergence with French populations from which segregating progenies have been previously mapped. These genetic maps will be of interest to construct a reliable consensus linkage map for the species. The importance of developing functional genetic linkage maps is highlighted, especially when working with breeding populations for its future application in MAS for traits of interest.

I was burnt out after high school and took a break from running for the past 4 years. I am trying to get back into running so I can train for a half marathon in the next few months. Any tips or suggestions for staying motivated after such a long break?
I'm in a very similar state right now. Exactly a year ago I finished my first and only marathon and since that I haven't been very serious about running. Now I feel more and more eager to get back on track but it's so hard. I mean, just a year ago I could really run and now I have to start again with short distances so I'm a bit disappointed in myself for giving up running. Hope to have all the motivation and I wish the same to you. I remember how much it helped when I was training for my marathon to read all the motivational stories and experiences, to watch videos and think and think about running goals. At least for me the last one is the key word, if I have a specific goal on my mind it's much easier to get myself to train.
Best of luck!
I have ran a few times trying to get back into it but after a few times I would become discouraged. I realized my main motivation for always running was my races and so that is why I want to do a half marathon. If I have a race to train for I will run but if I don't have a race I likely will not. It is just so different on this side of it. I no longer have a team, a coach or even a friend to run with that can help keep me motivated. I am excited to restart again. Good luck to you too!
start slow and build gradually. I took a break from 2005 to 2011. When I returned to running I did it slowly doing run walk intervals. After 5 weeks I was able to do 5k without stopping, did my first HM 9 months later. then did a FM in nov. 2012 and have another marathon in a few days
Mom to 3 kiddies
5k PR: 22:00 (June 14, 2014)
10k PR: 45:55 (August 17th, 2014)
HM PR: 1:44:52 (Nov. 3, 2013)
FM PR: 3:44:15 (July 13th, 2014)
I stopped running for 16 years, and could kick myself! Now that I'm beginning again, I use a running journal to motivate me. Although races are a great motivation, you can set small personal goals such as times and mileage. One thing I'm reminded of is that I am rewarded every time I run.
Wake up with determination. Go to bed with satisfaction.
Register for the race, especially if it sells out because you don't want to be disappointed if it fills before you go to register, put it on your calendar, and start a training program.
Is there someone else training for the same race who you could run with or at least stay in touch with for mutual encouragement?
Marathon Maniac 3748. 2015: Charleston, Los Angeles, Leona Divide 50K, Shadow of the Giants 50K, Leading Ladies, Des Plaines 50/50, Santa Clarita, Beat the Blerch Sacramento. 2016: Valley of Fire, Calico, Los Angeles, Bryce Canyon, Angel Fire, others TBD. https://2016-la-marathon.everydayhero.com/us/tessa
Find someone to run with. It helped me tremendously. I had surgery in 2010 and had to start small. I teamed up with my best friend in 2011 and in 2012 we ran a HM. She is hurt right now so I am running alone and I really see the difference of running with a partner.
My sister wants to run a race with me but can't do the one that I was planning on. My college roommate wants an excuse to keep running so she would run the one I want to do. The problem with running a race with either of them is that we don't live close to each other. I found a running group in my area that I would probably try to go to if I decide to train.
Right now my health is really discouraging me. I feel sick a lot of the time and been having tests done to try and figure out what is up. I am worried that if I sign up and try to train for this race that I will be unable to follow through because of the impact of my health on my ability to train. Thoughts?
What length of a race is it? Honestly, I'd start small with a race, even if you deem it "too easy". A start's a start. A community 5k might help you get back in the game of training, but without that pressure of Must Compete At All Costs, if that makes sense.
Also, I train virtually by posting here and on another FB group. Only at races do I usually have a friend or acquaintance running with me, and even then we're at our own speeds. Just knowing they're out there in the same crowd I am is help enough.
Well, if you don't want, you don't have to be dependent on anybody else but you. People are different, for some running together is great part of motivation, for others - like me running is that time when to be alone and have time for myself. I kindly advise you not to be afraid to stay one on one with yourself while running. Yes, in this case it would mean you have search for other motivation than people around you or races. Something with bigger meaning for yourself. I mean, it would be wonderful to ask yourself what it is that makes running so special for you and go with it. Running events, new shoes or mileage you have reached are more like good side effects, stopover points on your way. Motivation is your fuel, something that keeps you going on.
May I ask, what kind of sickness is it? Listen to yourself carefully, if it feels serious you should see the doctor. It's also possible your mind is playing tricks on yourself just not to be bothered with changing something in your life. Have you been through a lot of stress recently?
Best of luck and take care of yourself!
I have had some digestive issues for awhile. Since October I have been having pain right below my ribcage on my right side. I have been through a ringer of tests from my regular doctor who believes there is something wrong but pretty much let me fall through the cracks after tests came back negative. More recently I set up an appointment with a GI specialist and have had some more tests done but still have no answers. So to answer your question I don't really know what sickness is it but I am trying to figure it out because it has made me miserable for 2-3 years and it is getting worse.
I probably will start small with a 5k because there are plenty and I wouldn't necessarily have to pre-register. My ultimate goal is a half-marathon but like I said I am worried that my health will prevent me from being able to train and run it at this point.
Oh, I really hope things get better for you, and you can find your stride in all aspects of life. It's never easy being the one sick or watching someone who is sick. That's my biggest motivation for running.It makes me feel good like I've actually accomplished something and it helps me put aside some of the heavier things on my mind,, even if it's only 20 minutes of strong running. I'd like to run with a partner but don't know many runners. So I run alone during the day when I feel brave and listen to music that really helps set my pace, otherwise I'm in the gym pushing my self the best I can on the treadmill. I think the key to staying motivated is remembering all the reasons you started in the first place, even if it's just about doing something for yourself.
I had acid reflux. With the right food and exercise, i.e., running, I no longer have it. I did not have pain in my right rib cage but this can be a symptom of it. You are on the right track to go to a GI person.
Take a look at this article: http://rmarcejaeger.com/2011/0...-most-likely-causes/
I hope it helps and keep us posted.
That is a very interesting article. Since going to the GI specialist I have been on protonix and that has greatly helped with the constant nausea that I was having. I just had a second endoscopy done and they biopsied three different areas. Unlike the article my doctor did say that one of the second round tests he had done did show a very small abnormality but he didn't think it would lead to anything. Though the nausea is gone, the pain that randomly comes is not. When I had the endoscopy the doctor said if nothing showed he might do another HIDA scan (because where I had my first tests done is not very credible, we have learned) and also some sort of GI study (I don't remember the name because I was sedated and in recovery when he talked about it).
I am looking up some 5k's to try because they are generally cheaper and if I can't do it I won't be quite as mad with myself. Hopefully this doesn't keep me down, because I really want to run again.
I can't help but ask if you have had your gallbladder checked. It can cause a host of GI issues and often is not up for consideration in young women as the source. You need more than just an ultrasound to look for stones but also a study to check for the actual functioning of the gallbladder. Your age makes the gallbladder less likely but in light of no other findings that would explain this chronic problem, that is getting worse, it might be worth consideration.
Hope you feel better soon!
Go the extra mile....it's never crowded
I will keep you in my prayers. It really stinks to be consistently uncomfortable and in pain. Follow up on the suggestion that Rhonda_Runs made. It bears investigating the gallbladder.
That was what my primary physician believed to be the problem. The first time I had a bout of severe pain I had an ultrasound and a HIDA scan to check gallbladder function then an endoscopy to check for stomach ulcers. Then the second bout of severe pain I had a CT scan and was sent to a surgeon that basically told me he wouldn't cut me open because it wasn't conclusively my gallbladder and he didn't want to cut me open and not fix the problem. After that I sought out the GI specialist because my primary doctor stopped trying. So here I am. Hopefully it will get figured out so that running and other daily activities can be completed normally and pain-free.
Thanks, Jannette! I do appreciate that.
Just wondering how you are doing?
I like running.But I stopped running for 4 years, and could kick myself! Now that I'm beginning again, I use a running journal to motivate me. One thing I'm reminded of is that I am rewarded every time I run.
Congrats to you for getting back into running! Some advice from me: find a beginners plan (google Hal Higdon or cool running) and stick to it. They build you up slowly but surely. Don't build up your mileage too quick, just enjoy the journey of running and how it makes you feel. Finally, if you can find a friend or someone to run with you, it makes things more enjoyable and you can share you goals together. Good luck!
13.1 miles, 13 races, 2013: a wholehearted challenge.
Looking for inspiration, dedication, and fun?
Check out my blog! www.runjessrun.com
Just get back out there. Running is addictive. I have always been a runner but my level of commitment and mileage is variable. I agree with what some others have said that racing keeps your motivated and accountable to your running. I am currently going through a heavy running time and am motivated enough to check in on these blogs and post but after a few months its likely based on my past that my running will dip. Best of luck on running again!
Check out my blog and get inspired!
I would encourage you to find a running group in your city.
That is the only thing that got me back into running after a 9 or 10 year break.
You can do it ! I could try to help you find a group if you want to private message me. (I think you can do that on these forums)?

Is Mr. Football and the Divisional MVP's picked from the state championship
teams or is that just a coincidence?
The reason I ask is that as I look at this years and past years selections...it looks like the MVPs and Mr. Football are the best player from the state championship team and not necessarily the best player in the state at that division.
A case in point would be the 2005 selection. Stanley Havili was the best running back, best player and most sought after athlete that year. He went on to be a 4 year letterwinner and star at USC and then drafted by the Philadelphia Eagles. Riley Nelson had an astronomical season that year so I understand the Mr. Football selection. However, Brady Wootton getting the 4A MVP over Havili must be due to Mountain Crest winning the championship that year because both Havili and Wootton had similiar rushing yards, Havili had a little more receiving yards but Havili had 5 or 6 more TDs on the season. Havili was also ranked nationally at the running back position.
So is it fair to say that the MVP and Mr. Football come from the state champion teams?

Most years the MVP and Mr. Football do come from the teams that make the Championship game. However in 2009 the Chynoweth kid from Park City won the 3-A MVP. Juan Diego and Hurricane played for the championship.

I see your logic but look at this years 5A MVP Austin Kafentzis and 4A MVP Porter Gustin. Neither one made it to the State Championship game but earned the award for their classifications. However, the additional exposure of extra games through the play-offs certainly does help. With both Kafentzis and Gustin averaging 350-400 yards of total offense per game those extra two contests could mean an additional 800 yards to their bottom line stats and an additional 25 tackles for Gustin on defense (averaging 12.5 tackles per game).

#2 Economic Survival Tip: Learn New Best Practices
Last week, we began a three-part series on surviving—and even thriving—in a miserable economy. This week, consider if there are new practices your company could adopt to rapidly boost your effectiveness in critical customer-facing activities… such as sales management, pricing or marketing communications.
Have you ever joined a new company and found that your old company was doing some things much better than your new employer? And vice versa? Many companies improve areas of weakness when employees behave as honeybees, cross-pollinating practices from one firm or industry to another. But this is a slow process and you don't have the time to wait when a downturn is upon you. You need to find and drive these best practices into your business quickly.
If that sounds overwhelming, consider two acronyms: APQC and ISBM. The American Productivity and Quality Center is one of the world's top benchmarking firms. Based in Houston, Texas, APQC has likely already benchmarked any practice you can imagine. So instead of forming a benchmark team within your company that will take months just to set up their work, check out this non-profit organization at www.apqc.org.
But if—like many people—you prefer to learn from people over reports, find an association to tap into. If you are a B2B supplier (not consumer goods), you can't do better than the Institute for the Study of Business Markets. Based at Penn State, the ISBM has over 100 leading researchers and 70 advanced B2B member firms. These companies know that firms that just "hoard their secrets" fall behind those that share and adapt. As Ralph Oliva, Executive Director of ISBM puts it, "It's really about how you implement new tools. Tiger Woods wouldn't be worried if I used the same golf clubs as he did." To access a wealth of reports, workshops, consortia, and other learning opportunities, visit www.isbm.org.

Nice post on AWhere and the use of analytics. I wasn't familiar with this, but it looks strong! And I couldn't agree with you more on the power of analytics. For years, I've seen suppliers use qualititive data only in customer interviews to determine customer needs... with dire consequences. But when they engage customers in quantifying and prioritizing their needs (and use effective graphical means to interpret the data), they dramatically increase their odds of addressing what the customer really wants.
Thanks for the great piece. We have been talking about this in terms of how to "compete on analytics;" in other words, how can you become smarter and make better decisions faster, in order to build new competitive advantage?
One company that is interesting to me is AWhere. Their software and web services let anyone look at spreadsheet data on a map, dramatically increasing relevance and speeding the time to solid analysis. Here's a post I wrote on their blog that illustrates how this is relevant to business.

You may have missed the fact that the week before last was National Identity Fraud Prevention Week.
It must have worked, because as soon as it was over, insurance firm Zurich announced it had lost a backup tape containing the personal details of 51,000 customers. The incident actually took place in August last year, so it came as a belated but timely reminder of the problem.
It also emerged last weekend that hackers had penetrated the Guardian's jobs web site, potentially compromising the details of half a million users.
The awareness campaign's organisers had already revealed research suggesting that only three per cent of consumers are confident that companies handle their details securely. They must have been delighted to see their claims underlined by the subsequent week's news.
There is growing recognition that the database-centric model of securing our personal details has a limited future. Even the most "unbreakable" database is not immune to CDs going missing in the post. Only one person truly cares about what happens to their identity details and that's the person whose identity it is.
It makes sense, therefore, to develop a model that puts control of those details back in the hands of the individual.
The government, sadly, ignored such a recommendation, made in a Treasury-commissioned report last year. Instead, Gordon Brown pressed on with the deeply unpopular ID cards scheme.
The Global Trust Council policy body is pushing for an international scheme to achieve such a goal, and undoubtedly there will be other similar initiatives. As the internet puts more control into its users' hands, it will become inevitable that government and industry will need to put in place legal and technical means to extend that control to securing identities.

If I Did It Reasons by the Publisher
If I Did It will be released by ReganBooks on November 30 and will be featured on FOX TV in two segments featuring Simpson interviewed by Judith Regan. Some booksellers are put off by the book and others are plan to donate any profits to appropriate charities. Vroman's Bookstore, Pasadena, Calif. will donate profits to the Nicole Brown Foundation. True crime is a popular area of fiction and I can see the interest in it. The royalty and advances are supposedly not going to Simpson who has outstanding civil judgments against him in the amount of $33.5 M. It would be difficult to see how Simpson could get the royalty money as most of that should be snapped up by the judgment lien holders.

Yesterday we mentioned the latest issue to arise in the contentious Massachusetts Senate race between incumbent Scott Brown and Elizabeth Warren, the Harvard law professor turned political candidate and national celebrity. On his blog, Legal Insurrection, Professor William Jacobson of Cornell Law School effectively accused Warren of engaging in the unauthorized practice of law in Massachusetts.
Are the accusations valid? Let's hear from some experts — and from you, through a pair of reader polls….
You can learn more about Professor Jacobson's claims in yesterday's story or by reading his full post over at Legal Insurrection. The gist of his argument is that she was practicing law in Massachusetts, out of her office at Harvard Law School, even though she has never been licensed to practice in Massachusetts.
There's no dispute that Warren lacks a Massachusetts law license; she admitted as much in a radio interview yesterday. But that's not conclusive on the issue of unauthorized practice. In some updates to yesterday's story, we noted various possible defenses, including claims that (1) she participated only in federal cases and did not practice Massachusetts law and (2) her work was confined to consulting with admitted counsel.
In the wake of the controversy, Massachusetts Lawyers Weekly reached out to various experts to get their opinions on the matter. Let's hear from the most important one first:
Rule 5.5 of the Massachusetts Rules of Professional Conduct states that an attorney cannot, without a license to practice in Massachusetts, "establish an office or other systematic and continuous presence in this jurisdiction for the practice of law." It also states an attorney cannot, without a license, "hold out to the public or otherwise represent that the lawyer is admitted to practice law in this jurisdiction."
Michael Fredrickson, general counsel for the BBO [Board of Bar Overseers], says he does not believe a law professor would be considered to have "a continuous presence" or "an office practicing law."
"If they actually practice here – as some part-time law professors at some of the smaller schools do – they might," Fredrickson says. "But being a professor at one of the large schools, their office is a professor's office, and the fact that they tend to dabble in the practice of law doesn't run afoul of our rule. I don't think Elizabeth Warren would fall within that, such that she would have to register here."
That would seem to settle that. Such comment from the GC of the Massachusetts Board of Bar Overseers sends a pretty strong smoke signal that Warren is in the clear.
If that's not enough for you, Mass Lawyers Weekly reached out to one of Warren's most distinguished colleagues at HLS, Professor Laurence Tribe (a legal academic who practices a fair amount):
"The fact that Charles [Fried] and I happen to be licensed in Massachusetts is immaterial. That wasn't the reason I could practice in the U.S. Supreme Court. I was an inactive member of the California bar as well, which was all that was needed," Tribe says.
Tribe adds that Warren fully met all of the Supreme Court's requirements for filing briefs and petitions with that court.
"This was not and could not be a violation of any Massachusetts rule," Tribe says. "In fact, any state rule that interfered with a federal filing would be null and void under the Supremacy Clause of Article VI of the United States Constitution. Elizabeth complied with all applicable federal rules."
So the general counsel of the Board of Bar Overseers and a leading light of legal academia both believe that Warren stands in compliance. It looks like she has dodged the arrow on this issue.
But, of course, the debate will probably rage on for a while. Check out the comments to the Mass Lawyers Weekly piece, in which readers express disagreement with Michael Fredrickson and Larry Tribe.
Professor Jacobson isn't giving up either. Yesterday he took to the airwaves to make his case against Warren, and he has also promised further commentary on the "incorrect defenses" being raised on Warren's behalf.
UPDATE (9/27/2012, 3:30 PM): Here is Professor Jacobson's rebuttal (via The League of Ordinary Gentleman).
Readers, what do you think? Please debate in the comments and take our two reader polls (the first to see where you fall in the Senate race, the second to measure your views on the law license debate):

Detroit Tigers pitchers Rick Porcello and Max Scherzer stand in the outfield Oct. 1, 2013.
- Filed Under
Max Scherzer avoided arbitration by agreeing to a one-year, $15.525 million contract with the Detroit Tigers.
Scherzer, who won the American League Cy Young Award last season, joined four other players in reaching one-year deals with the Tigers on Friday. Rick Porcello, Austin Jackson, Andy Dirks and Al Alburquerque were the others.
That leaves catcher Alex Avila as the only arbitration-eligible player left without an agreement. Friday was the deadline for the sides to exchange numbers and John Westhoff, vice president/legal counsel for the Tigers, said the sides would continue next ...

Video: Granny Flowers @ Winterfest
GREENSBORO, N.C. -- Birthdays are a special time in a child's life and they are even more special when shared with family.
Alex King celebrated his 6th birthday Saturday and had one wish: for his grandmother to see him skate at WFMY News 2's Winterfest.
Alex's grandmother, known as Granny Flowers, was diagnosed with breast cancer and is now in remission. When she was initially diagnosed, doctors told her the chances of beating the cancer were slim.
This week at Winterfest was the first time Alex's grandmother had seen him skate. It was a birthday his mother said he will cherish years down the road and a memory his grandmother will never forget.

Today's tough economics send many of us to sweets and chocolate to find comfort on tighter budgets. Candy satisfies us today; in the Colonial Period in North America, the daily menu often included drinking chocolate.
In 1747 a minister only identified as "Your humble Servant, T.W.," published a lament about his congregation not maintaining his cost of living in the Boston Evening Post. He claimed this was a common complaint amongst his clergy colleagues. This included his costs for chocolate. He bemoaned in his letter:
Upwards of 40 years ago I was ordained Pastor of a Church… and by the unanimous Vote of my People had settled on me… with which I could buy (as I find by looking over my Accounts 40 Years back) the following Articles… [including] Chocolate…. For the same Articles I have been obliged to pay this present year…. You will readily perceive by comparing these Accounts together that the same Articles one with another have risen more than seven and an half for one since my first Settlement with my People, whereas they would never yet be prevailed on to raise my Salary more than three for one…. And I may venture to say, this is the Truth of the Case with respect to most of the Ministers throughout the Province…. Perhaps it may be of some service to us distressed Ministers under our growing difficulties… [to publish this letter].
We hope that the letter helped and TW's church finally paid him fairly for his chocolate and other needs.

NPR reporter David Folkenflik's new book Murdoch's World accuses Fox News' PR department of using scores of fake commenter accounts to challenge negative – even neutral – articles in the blogosphere on Fox News. Employees were even expected to challenge other negative comments on the same posts, a tactic shared with unhinged stalkers, trolls and basement dwellers the world over.
On the blogs, the fight was particularly fierce. Fox PR staffers were expected to counter not just negative and even neutral blog postings but the anti-Fox comments beneath them. One former staffer recalled using twenty different aliases to post pro-Fox rants. Another had one hundred. Several employees had to acquire a cell phone thumb drive to provide a wireless broadband connection that could not be traced back to a Fox News or News Corp account. Another used an AOL dial-up connection, even in the age of widespread broadband access, on the rationale it would be harder to pinpoint its origins. Old laptops were distributed for these cyber operations. Even blogs with minor followings were reviewed to ensure no claim went unchecked. [Murdoch's World, pg. 67]

Wake up and smell the Lancôme Accord 3 Roses, a new set of body lotions coming in August 2012, formulated with three essential rose extracts for everyday skin hydration (Rosa Centifolia to soothe, Rosa Galica to protect and Rosa Canina to reinforce). The formulas include a light and refreshing body milk, as well as a thicker body balm.
First off- if you love the scent of roses (think Benefit Benetint), you're going to love this stuff. I smell like a bouquet of roses right now and I love it! So feminine and pretty, I'm definitely going to be slathering this stuff on daily! The fragrance lasts quite long for a body lotion, which I really like!
The Lancôme Accord 4 Roses Lait Corps Fraîcheur Body Milk ($46 CAD) is the larger tube of the two, and slightly thinner. The body milk was designed for instant hydration and it absorbs super fast (I can apply it to my hands and get right back to typing within seconds, its quite amazing)! The Lancôme Accord 3 Roses Baume Corps Confort Body Balm ($36 CAD) is in a smaller tube, and is slightly thicker. The balm is meant more to renew skin and hydrate super dry skin.
In all honesty, they both feel as if they hydrate and soothe my skin equally. The formulas are so similar, that I would just suggest picking up the body milk, because it's much larger and the value is much better. They smell the same, moisturize the same…so might as well get more bang for your buck!
- Price: $46 CAD for 350mL (Body milk) and $36 CAD for 150mL (Body balm)
- Availability: Lancôme (August 2012)
- Overall: If you love the smell of roses, you're going to love these lotion! They are so fresh and natural! Available in two formulas, I really recommend the body milk over the body balm because it's a better value and I found that the formulas were so similar.
- Rating: A

MyCentralJersey.com Snapple Bowl XX official web site: Can be found at https://worknotes.com/NJ/SouthRiver/SnappleBowl/
WESTFIELD — Despite the Middlesex County All-Stars boasting a squad of perhaps the most talented balance of skill position players of any roster in Snapple Bowl history, Union Countys defense holds a considerable size advantage at the line of scrimmage, has a skilled secondary and will be ready for whatever is thrown at them.
The Union County All-Stars got together for the first time Saturday evening at Westfield High Schools Kehler Stadium and practiced in anticipation for Thursdays MyCentralJersey.com Snapple Bowl XX.
All proceeds from this years 20th annual contest, which pits recently graduated high school seniors from Middlesex County against counterparts from Union County, will benefit the Childrens Specialized Hospital and the Lakeview School in Edison.
More than $415,000 has been raised for the charities since the Snapple Bowls inception including a single-game record $47,000 last summer.
Union County head coach and defensive coordinator Scott Miller spoke about the challenges of getting a defensive unit on the same page in just a couple of practices.
Its a challenge but these kids can play football, Miller said. Our biggest goal (as coaches) is to let the players know where they need to be lined up. If we get them lined up where theyre supposed to be and just let them play, were satisfied with that.
Middlesexs signal-callers offer a dual threat out of the backfield. Carteret quarterback Tyler Rodriquez set school records this past season in all the major passing records, while Colonia quarterback Trent Barneys rushed for more than 1,700 yards and 19 touchdowns.
The two opposing men under center will make the execution of Union Countys secondary paramount.
Im going to prepare like Ive been preparing and prepare for both sides, said Plainfield safety Marvin Jones who is bound for Lackawanna. I need to read my keys and do my job and tackle the guy with the ball or break it up when it comes to my side.
Im a strong safety that likes to come up in good run support and I like my ball skills, but my strength would be stopping the run.
Rounding out the Union secondary is Shakiyl Glasco of Westfield, Daniel Harper of Roselle, Richie Johns of Roselle Park, Dein Rice of Scotch Plains-Fanwood, Nick Watts of Summit and Vinny Sidoli of New Providence.
Sidoli thinks he and his fellow members in the secondary will adjust to the run-pass as the game dictates.
It all depends on who is in at the time, Sidoli said. If (Barneys) is in you probably wanna creep up more in the box and worry less about the pass, and if (Rodriquez) is in you worry about the pass. But its all about trusting your reads.
Depending on what were in coverage-wise, its just a matter of if were in zone picking up the guy who comes in your zone, said Miller. If were in man, you just run with your man so they really shouldnt be focusing on the quarterbacks as much as what their schemes are.
Although he admitted hes hasnt yet familiarized himself with the Middlesex roster, Miller thinks his squad can use its size to its advantage.
In an all-star game when youre playing 15-minute quarters, its more reflective of what kids come to practice in the best shape and what kids can play for that length of time, he said. The bigger guys usually struggle in these kinds of games because they havent done anything in a while, so hopefully well be able to play a game at full speed and see what happens at the end.
Union is looking to avenge last years 39-15 defeat, and trails 11-8 in the series.

|Effect of sialylation and complexity of FSH oligosaccharides on inhibin production by granulosa cells.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 23166369 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|Granulosa cell (GC) inhibin A and B production is regulated by FSH and gonadal factors. This gonadotrophin is released as a mixture of glycoforms, which induce different biological responses in vivo and in vitro. Our aim was to determine the effect of recombinant human FSH (rhFSH) glycosylation variants on inhibin A and B production by rat GCs. Preparative isoelectro focusing was used to isolate more acidic/sialylated (pH <4.00) and less acidic/sialylated (pH >5.00) rhFSH charge analogues. Concanavalin A was used to isolate unbound and firmly bound rhFSH glycoforms on the basis of their oligosaccharide complexity. GCs, obtained from oestrogen-primed immature rats, were cultured with either native rhFSH or its glycosylation variants. Inhibin A and B were determined using specific ELISAs. Results were expressed as mean±s.e.m. Under basal conditions, inhibin A was the predominant dimer produced (inhibin A: 673±55; inhibin B: 80±4 pg/ml). More acidic/sialylated charge analogues stimulated inhibin B production when compared to inhibin A at all doses studied; by contrast, less acidic/sialylated charge analogues stimulated inhibin A production and elicited no effect on inhibin B. Glycoforms bearing complex oligosaccharides showed a potent stimulatory effect on inhibin B when compared to inhibin A production (i.e. dose 1 ng/ml: 4.9±0.5 vs 0.9±0.1-fold stimulation, P<0.001). Glycoforms bearing hybrid-type oligosaccharides favoured inhibin A production (i.e. dose 4 ng/ml 2.9±0.1 vs 1.6±0.1-fold stimulation, P<0.05). These results show that the sialylation degree as well as the complexity of oligosaccharides present in the rhFSH molecule may be considered additional factors that differentially regulate dimeric inhibin production by rat GCs.

Which details are most important?
How many times have you heard these words? "Grading is subjective" or "Grading is an art not a science?" That leaves a lot of room for interpretation, and we'll examine some of that in this column. The subjective nature of grading is possibly one reason many numismatists are conservative buyers or liberal sellers. There is less risk of taking a hit to the wallet. Knowledge is power. It can be a jungle out in the marketplace where the uninformed can be eaten alive. Continue reading

Mr. J. F. Cairns, M.I., Loco. E.. and editor of the English "Railway Magazine," writes :-
On September 27. 1823, the Stockton and Darlington Railway, the "'First Pub- lic Railway " in the British Isles, and, therefore, in the world, was opened for traffic, and next year its centenary is to be celebrated by a special Congress in London of the International Railway As- sociation, and by appropriate proceedings in Stockton, Darlington, and other places.
This centenary is not, however, alto- gether above question. For one thing, there were railways long before 1823, at least 50 years, and some people claim that they can be traced back to the days of Queen Elizabeth, if not to the Assyrians. There were even "public" railways, as distinct from private colliery lines, for the Surrey Iron Railway, from Wandsworth to Merstham, was opened in 1804, the first railway to be constructed under a Parliamentary powers, for the con- veyance of "public" traffic on payment of charges. As for the locomotive engine, its centenary sbould have been celebrat- ed in 1004, one hundred years after Trevi- thick's first railway engine made its in- augural trips at Merthyr Tydfil.
Moreover, George Stephenson'« engine. "Locomotion No. 1," wfhich opened the Stockton and Darlington Railway (it is now at the British Empare Exhibition, after Standing for many years on a pedestal at Dallington mam lino station), was not even his first 1'ocomotivc. That was built in 1812, and bore the name "Blucher." Nor, indeed, was he the "in- ventor" of the. steam locomotive, as is so often stated, frequently by people who should know better. It is contended m some quarters, in fact, that muoh of the credit given to George Stephenson for «he "perfection" and "development" of the locomotive engine rightly belongs to Timothy Hack-vorth, while its "inven- tion" has to be attributed finstlr to Trevi
thick (not to mention Cugnot in France, Watt, and others, w<ho constructed steam load locomotivos); and secondly to Blackett, Hedley, Blenkinsop, and others wflio worked between 1601 and 1825.
Putting all tlhebe argumentative aspects on one side, however, tlie fact remains that the Stockton and Darlington was the first railway of any sufodtontial ac coun^ built under Parliamentary powers, conveying passengers as well as ooa.1 and
goods, to develop into a rail- !
way 6ueäi as we understand to- j
Joy. It was, moreover, the first line of the kind upon which steam locomotives were used regularly, and George Stephen son's "Locomotion No. 1" was the first steam-engine definitely introduced to work "public" traffic.
It was a great day when, on September 27, 1825, his historic engine, preceded by a rider on horseback carrying a flag, hauled at a speed of six or eight miles an hour a train consisting of six waggons of coal, one passenger carriage (the world's first, though it. was a mere box on wheels), 21 coal trucks fitted with seats, and six more loaded coal waggons. It is said that it then conveyed 450 passengers, including a band, beside the coal- a very good beginning, though how so many people managed to crowd into and on to the small vehicles of that day is not particularly clear. ' At any rate,- ."Loco- motion v No. 1". did good work, though it would now be regarded as a lumber- ing, clanking, erratic conglomeration of old iron, and apparently it did -not break down, a rather frequent occurrence with the engines of- the period.
Although passengers were conveyed by steam on the opening day, it was not
until some years later that this became the rule. The 'locomotives were reserved for the more valuable coal traffic-pas- sengers travelled in a single coach on wheels drawn hy horses, showing that they could not have been regarded as of
much account, or mnny in number.
Four years later, in 1829, the historic Rainhill tests were carried out, the object Doing to decide whether the Liverpool and Manchester Railway_ should be oper- ated by steam locomotives, horses, or cable traction. On that occasion George Stephenson^ "Rocket" proved conclu- sively the possibilities of steam loco- motive traction, and may be said to have originated all essentials in locomotive de- sign. The "Rocket" included several then new features, though it was no1 quite so "novel" a machine as some people make out. It did, however, travel at the "amazing speed of 30 miles an hour," and thus inaugurated the high speed and passenger traffic era.
_Su3jBequent years saw the pToduclioi:
of many qu<er machines. In the 'fortiei was the famous "Battle of the Gauges,' between advocates of the Great Western broad gauge of 7ft., and those of th( narrow gauge, the standard 4ft. 8%in One side endeavoured to prove th.r Brunel was right in adopting a gaugi ot 7ft., and the other that anything prac ticable on the broad gauge could bl equalled on the narrow. Among thi famoiiB ¡broad gauge engines were man: extraordinary machines, including somi with aft. and 10ft. wheels, and one witt Oft._ wheels, geared to be equal to 18ft. engine and boiler liebig on separati
By the 'fifties, however, locomotive en ginp design -had come to include prac tically al! present-day characteristics though naturally there have been manj detail developments, great increases in siz, and power, and the adoption of varioui anecial adjuncts, fittings, and appliances Even In those days, however, enginei could and did travel as fast as they di now, though necessarily with very mucl lighter loads.
From the railway point of view, then have been developments equally remark- able. In early days ¡t was thought thal one railway in each direction would suffice. Thus, for some years, Euston was the de panure station, not only for trains \-ia what--is now known as the West Coas! route of Scotland, but also for York and the East Coaät and placea for whicli Pt- Tañeras is now the terminus in Lon don. Similarly. Dover trains travelled over the Brighton line *o Redhill. This restricted system was soon found to be im- practicable, with the result that London
now have more great railway termini .than any other city in the world.
So far as London railways arc con- cerned, it is, perhaps, not generally known that Fenchurch-strcet was the first railway station in the city. It then ac- commodated the London and Blackwall railway, opened in 1810, and operated by a peculiar system of cable traction. Lon- don's first railway was, however, the London and Greenwich, opened from Tooley-street to Greenwich in 1837. Lon- don can also claim tho "First Under- ground Railway in the World," the Metropolitan, opened in 1SÖ3, considered at the time to be a wonderful concern. Passengers made tours merely for the sake of doing so, although there were many re. strictions, such ag the prohibition of smoking anywhere on tue .company's premises or ¡n the trains, n "regulation which appears strange in these days.
The City and South London Railway, originally intended to be wcrked by cable traction, was not only the "First Tube Railway in the World," but also the "First Underground Electric Railway." Great Britain, if not London,, also claims the "First Overhead Electric Railway in the World," in the Liverpool Overhead.
