Home > Results > JumpStart News > Ray of Hope for Mine Disasters
Provided by the Akron Beacon JournalWritten by Paula Schleis
Russell Breeding's "A-ha!" moment came while he was watching a Larry King interview after the West Virginia Sago mining disaster in 2006.
King had asked a mining expert why they couldn't locate 13 men trapped underground, and was told the technology didn't exist.
Sitting in his home in Virginia Beach, Va., Breeding sat up and talked back to his television set: "Yes, it does, and I know what it is."
Today, Breeding and his team are a few months away from completing an inertial navigation system that they believe would have located those men instantly, instead of the two-day search that produced a single survivor.
Breeding recruited his cousin, Jay Breeding — an experienced businessman from Tuscarawas County — to be his chief operating officer.
Russell Breeding made himself chief technology officer, and tapped his friend and fellow U.S. Navy veteran Mike Millam to serve as chief engineer.
Last month, the trio moved their fledgling company, InSeT Systems, to Akron, taking up residence on the seventh floor of the Akron Global Business Accelerator.
They were obligated to move into the 21-county footprint of the venture development group JumpStart because of a $400,000 investment by that organization.
But Northeast Ohio is also a strategic location, surrounded by the Midwest's prolific coal mining industry.
For Jay Breeding, the move also brought him full circle. He spent the first 20 years of his career in the rubber industry, starting with General Tire in Akron. The building InSeT calls home is a relic of those days — a renovated B.F. Goodrich tire factory.
Jay Breeding's multifaceted career included years as a business adviser and "turnaround" expert, which is why cousin Russ turned to him to develop the business side of the enterprise.
That freed Russ, who spent a decade as an electronics technician navigator on nuclear submarines, to adapt old technology to a new purpose.
GPS, the global positioning satellite system that assigns every meter on the surface of the planet a unique address, can't reach under the sea. Just as it can't reach underground.
So submarines use inertial navigation, which uses a computer and motion sensors to continuously track the position, orientation and velocity of a target without the need for external references.
Inertial navigation is so exact, the system is used to guide missiles — like one used earlier this year to hit the fuel tank of a spy satellite 150 miles up.
Jay Breeding surmises that no one attempted to use the technology for coal mine communications because it's a generally large system and prohibitively expensive.
But advances have enabled InSeT to reduce the size to a 10-ounce device that can be attached to each miner and his equipment.
A mine with about 100 miners could probably install a complete system for $500,000, Jay Breeding said, with half of that coming back as a tax credit. The rest would eventually pay for itself because instantly knowing where people and equipment are will save labor, he added.
It also helps that InSeT has a highly motivated market.
A few months after the Sago accident, federal legislators passed the Miner Act of 2006, giving coal mines three years to install wireless tracking and communication systems.
There are some 650 active underground coal mines in the United States. Several are trying to meet the federal requirements using radio-frequency identification tags (RFID), like the anti-theft devices retailers attach to merchandise.
A miner wears the tag and each time he passes a reader, a signal is sent out of the mine to note his location. But that information will not be updated until the miner passes another reader.
InSeT's system, on the other hand, makes complicated calculations and sends several signals out of the mine every second using a radio relay.
Jay Breeding compared the difference to a system that knows someone has entered Progressive Field, to one that knows a person is standing on first base — and that's a world of difference to rescuers making decisions about where to drill.
The radio relays are encased in boxes built to resist explosions, but even if an explosion destroys key relays or blocks radio transmissions, the above-ground computer would have already recorded the exact location of every tag at the moment of the accident.
InSeT's next step is to develop computer software that will track multiple tags in three dimensions. A prototype tracking one tag proved flawless in government test mines and a working mine in Southeast Ohio, Jay Breeding said.
"We know the MSHA (Mining Safety and Health Administration) is very excited about our technology. They keep asking when are we going to be on the market with this because they know how superior it is," he said.
InSeT is still seeking investors — about $750,000 worth — to finish the system, but the company is optimistic that it will be installing the devices later this year or early next year.
There are many applications for the technology that have yet to be explored, but InSeT's focus is single minded.
"We want to make it possible for some miner that otherwise wouldn't be able to go home to his family to go home," Jay Breeding said.
As InSeT has worked to develop its system, another disaster in Utah took the lives of nine people at the Crandall Canyon Mine last year.
"We do not want to see another example like Utah, where they drilled seven holes and could never find them," he said.
While six of those miners might have died in the original explosion, a tracking system like InSeT's might have stopped three rescuers from a fatal attempt to locate the miners 10 days after the accident, Jay Breeding said.
"We might have had a pretty good idea not to send the other three in there," he said, "and they wouldn't have been lost."

- Ramón Rentería: Kissing at Chico's Tacos is in bad taste
Civil-rights lawyers say the security staff was out of line. Police, though, contend that a business such as a restaurant can refuse service to anybody, any time.
In all, five men were ordered to leave the restaurant. They say they were forced out by homophobic guards.
"It was a simple kiss on the lips," said Carlos Diaz de Leon, a gay man who was part of the group.
He called police at 12:30 a.m. June 29 because he said the guards and restaurant had discriminated against the group after two of his friends kissed in public.
The five men, all gay, were placing their order at the Chico's Tacos restaurant on Montwood when the men kissed. All five sat down, but the two guards at the restaurant told them to leave.
De Leon quoted one of the guards as saying he didn't allow "that faggot stuff" in the restaurant.
De Leon said they refused to leave and called police for help. He said an officer arrived about an hour later in response to calls from his group and the guards.
As they waited for police, the guards directed other anti-gay slurs at them, he said.
Already angry at the guards, de Leon and his group became angrier at the two police officers who arrived.
"I went up to the police officer to tell him what was going on, and he didn't want to hear my side," de Leon said. "He wanted to hear the security guard's side first.
Police declined to identify the officers who responded, but department spokesman Javier Sambrano described one officer as relatively inexperienced.
De Leon said the officer told the group it was illegal for two men or two women to kiss in public. The five men, he said, were told they could be cited for homosexual conduct -- a law the U.S. Supreme Court ruled unconstitutional in 2003 in Lawrence v. Texas.
That same year, the El Paso City Council approved an ordinance banning discrimination based on sexual orientation by businesses open to the public.
An assistant manager at Chico's Tacos declined to comment Wednesday, except to say the owners of the restaurant were out of town and could not be reached. An official with All American International Security, the firm contracted by Chico's Tacos to supply guards, said one member of the security crew was contacting a lawyer. He would say no more.
El Paso police Detective Carlos Carrillo said a more appropriate charge for what happened at Chico's Tacos would probably be criminal trespass.
"The security guard received a complaint from some of the customers there," Carrillo said. "Every business has the right to refuse service. They have the right to refuse service to whoever they don't want there. That's their prerogative."
Briana Stone, a lawyer with the Paso del Norte Civil Rights Project, disagreed.
She said the city anti-discrimination ordinance protects people on the basis of gender identity and sexual orientation in public places. Perhaps more troubling, she said, was that the police officer chose not to enforce that ordinance and might have contributed to discrimination.
"This is such a blatant refusal to uphold the law on account of discrimination," she said. "The result is devastating. The Police Department is allowing that and even participating in it by refusing to enforce an anti-discrimination ordinance, which is what their job is."
Lisa Graybill, legal director for the ACLU of Texas, said that businesses can ask patrons to leave for lewd conduct, but that those standards would have to apply to all customers.
"If a straight couple wouldn't have gotten kicked out for it," she said, "a gay couple shouldn't."
The police officers involved did not file a report about the confrontation at Chico's Tacos. Carrillo said no report was made because officers thought the situation was under control and neither side requested a written account of the incident.
De Leon said he and his friends left the restaurant after an officer threatened to issue a citation for "homosexual conduct."

Simon is currently CEO at Frenzoo. He was previously APAC head of emerging technology at Juniper Networks. He is an angel investor in startups, and a writer on startups and gaming. Follow his blog or on Twitter.
"If you're doing a startup, there's an allure to big brand partnerships."
You might think: close a deal in a couple months and then prestige, validation, press, growth, new opportunities, and lots more all await. "If I get this deal we'll be up in bright lights." Except it doesn't usually work that way.
The reality is that it's so hard getting a foot in the door, then signing a contract is grindingly tough. Next, getting a successful partnership that delivers real mutual value is the real challenge, and then you have to do all this without getting sidetracked and accidentally burning your precious funds.
Successes and failures
My startup has worked with a few large brands in the past year. One failed, draining precious cycles. A couple turned out much better, including a successful collaboration with media giant Condé Nast on the new game Teen Vogue Me Girl, launched after months of hard work.
Here are 8 of the startup lessons we learned:
Lesson #1 – Press is the icing, not the cake.
If your main goal is buzz that will lead to more downloads or users or revenue for your startup, brace for disappointment.
Even a mention in major media such as Wired translates to only a temporary spike – we've seen this happen. A friend even got a top-tier celeb to promote his new startup, resulting in far fewer returning users than he'd hoped.
We all remember glitzy press launches for projects that end up failing a year later. And those that rose to success without PR. Our new game got only a handful of media mentions but has still grown well despite that.
Whilst press can help for other reasons, such as fundraising, a partnership is a pretty risky and resource-grabbing way to try and achieve those goals.
Press is icing on the cake, rather than the cake itself.
Think about press as a great bonus – if you don't get it, no worries, a solid project will still thrive without it.
Lesson #2 – Is your opportunity cost acceptable?
Doing any project with a mega co. is going to take more time than you expected. Much more time.
Our project took nearly 6 months to deliver, and that's fast.
Big brands need multiple approvals with different stakeholders, reviews with marketing and legal, endless back and forwards on product etc.
If you're a small startup and think you can create a new app for a big brand whilst maintaining momentum on your "main" business, think again.
You'll need to either hire up, rework what you already have, or try to turn your tech into a platform. Or accept that this project; this will be your startup, and that your prior project will have to wait, perhaps forever.
Our project that failed in the end turned out as a good thing for us. Though the brand involved was famous and one that many would like to be associated with, it was turning into a large departure from our existing path (high opportunity cost) without enough strategic benefit.
Lesson #3 – Work with the right advocates
In a big company, it can be easy to find groups who may be interested and engage you in promising discussions that end up stalling.
Before committing lots of time with a group, some good questions to ask:
What is the group's mandate and business goals?
- Do they have budget?
- Do they have buy in from the relevant business units?
- Have they executed a similar project?
- Who signs off on a potential project?
- Do they have resources to commit to the project?
In our case, we found an innovation products group who had a track record of projects and getting buy in from the different Conde Nast brands, and brands willing to embrace a new project – which got it all started.
Lesson #4 – Define your scope up front
Whilst in lean startup land we work iteratively and adapt, doing this with a brand that changes scope every week is a recipe for chaos. Small innocent requests – "Oh, can we add a module to let the customer redeem coupons through the website as well as the app?" – can snowball quickly.
Though there are pros and cons, I think it's better to agree a list of deliverables and put it in writing early.
But how do you get it "right" from the start?
A good way is to either adapt from something that is proven to work (we based the new game on a mechanic from our first game) or do the upfront customer development and planning work to make sure it has as high chance as possible at success. It's a tricky balance.
Lesson #5 – Harness the supertanker
Big companies have processes, legacy systems, and move slowly; startups are lightweight speedboats, deciding and moving quickly. So what can you do?
The natural instinct may be to try and bend the big company to your way and pace of working. This will lead most likely to frustration. Yours.
Instead, adapt to their way of working, get the big supertanker pointed in the right direction, and let it power through.
For example, all our normal task planning is through Google Docs. On the other hand, our partner did planning through Excel spreadsheets and a project management system. After a while, we just ran with it, and made sure that all the things to make the project successful were included.
Once they were "locked in" the system, they just got carried through their usual process and got done. If you focus less on the "how" and more on the "what" you can make the big company ultimately work for you.
Lesson #6 – Get the term sheet in place early
Legal contracts are one of the least enjoyable things a startup CEO has to deal with (after emptying trash, and 4.00AM server down emergencies). Crawling through pages of minutia to spot potentially lethal gotchas doesn't help make your app better.
And perhaps, like me, you suck at it.
I've found a couple of ways to lessen the pain:
First, get to a simple term sheet with the key points agreed up front, that can be signed off and act as the letter of intent. This should be no more than a few pages written in plain English. Once you have this in place, you can commit and focus on the project, and in parallel, take your time with the legals.
Get experienced mentors to help review the deal and legals. In my case with Frenzoo, I'm lucky to have a few angel investors who have plenty of experience in contracts, and act as sounding boards and sanity checks. It also helps to have a lawyer or two on your investor or advisor team. Pro tip: that's a huge advantage for an early-stage startup.
Lesson #7 – Secure a budget
Startups think burn rate, but big companies think budgets and headcount. Are they going to contribute marketing to the project? Then what budget will be spent, by whom and where?
Are they going to be doing part of the work on the project? Then who is allocated and for what percent of their time?
Ensure your project has resources allocated. If not, ask nicely for them. If they are not sure, then request a good number and discuss from there. Having these in place rather than a "best effort" will increase the chance of making it a success.
Lesson #8 – Do your head and heart align?
Back when we were doing virtual worlds, we once did a collaboration with Weta. As a big fan of Lord of the Rings, King Kong, and stuff like that, I loved this deal!
We would collaborate on a contest to promote their Dr Grordbort's steampunk sci-fi brand. The problem? Our audience, mainly women, weren't into that genre. Despite it being well executed, it didn't either make our service more sticky or drum up more buzz for their brand.
The lesson? At the end of the day, only go ahead with a partnership if it really makes sense at both emotional and business levels.
If head and heart line up, chances are it's worth pursuing. Good luck!
What's been your experience? I'd love to hear. Hit the comments or find me on Twitter.

Who Was JFK?
JFK, Conservative
and numerous other books and TV programs about John F. Kennedy
Without the halo of martyrdom and the mob-and-CIA-populated conspiracy theories generated by the assassination—and without the voluptuous video record of Kennedy's grace, charisma, and wit—would his White House tenure poll so high? Probably not. It's telling that his death has a greater afterlife than his presidency.

This aftermath is just the beginning. Thank you so much.
This THURSDAY (1/31) as a big THANK YOU SO MUCH to you guys, I'll be livestreaming all day. Expect crafts. Expect special guests. Expect karaoke. ALSO, at the end of the day, I want to cook grilled cheese WITH YOU, in real time. So don't forget to buy cheese.
OMGOMGOMGOMGOM!!!111!!!! This is so incredible and amazing.
Check it out! We're going to Australia and New Zealand!!! Let us know where we should go... Otherwise I will just be wandering aimlessly amongst the dingos…. You have those right?
Donate just $1 or more and get your city on ze map and help us decide. :) (THE MAP!)
Also, how rad is that threesome? Bilbo is our cameraman.
HEY, CANADA and UK! WE'RE COMING!!
IT'S HAPPENING! After the most incredible weekend in FUN-draising history, we get to bring the tour to Canada and UK. SO EXCITE. Help plan our route! Each donation puts a mark on the map, and we are basing our route off of the highest concentration of marks. Cheerio, eh!
Hey guys! So it turns out that... YOU ARE AMAZING! Let's keep going and see if we can get this tour into Canada and Europe and the Southern Hemispheres! Also, I hope you know that all this good karma means we have to do a lot of volunteer work along the way...
WHO: Hannah Hart?
Hello! I am the creator, editor, and cooking chef of the online web series "My Drunk Kitchen."
The show was originally a single video for a friend, but due to the wonders of the internet, I quickly found myself leaving my desk-monkey job in NYC to pursue the lavish life of a YouTuber in Los Angeles (read: couch-surfing!). It's been magical.
However, throughout this time in online stardom, I have always wanted to meet my community of "Hartosexuals." This is the campaign to help get the tour/travel show funded as I eat my way through the heart of America's kitchens.
WHAT: "Hello, Harto!" - the tour
ONE PART VLOG: Musings and karaoke from the RV as we roll all over this fine country. I'll also shoot vlogs at the meetups I'll be doing in each city.
ONE PART TRAVEL SHOW: A crowd-sourced travel show, I will go to the places that YOU think I should check out in the cities YOU are from. Forsaking the glitz and glamor of America's biggest metropolises (metropolii?), I am more interested in touring the states from the perspective of those these videos have touched (appropriately).
You control the route in two ways:
- FIRST, we're going to ask the zip code of each person who donates and base our route on cities with the highest concentration of Hartosexuals.
- SECOND, we're going to give you printable real-world like buttons (HARTOS!) that you can stick on your favorite pizza joint, bar, dog park, or historical landmark. When we roll into town we'll determine where to shoot the travel portion of the show by following your Hartos.
ONE PART KITCHEN: I'll be shooting an episode of My Drunk Kitchen in every city we go to. Which leads me to ask... Can I get drunk in your kitchen? Each person who donates gets their name thrown in the hat as a potential kitchen host. When we roll into town, we'll pick a person at random, call that brave person, and have a respectful culinary experience together.

She was screaming. She was screaming for him, weeping and pleading. The boy could hear her voice growing hoarse as the minutes passed, as his shoulder grew numb from hitting the door of his prison. Was he crying with her? He thought that maybe he was. But it was dark, so dark in here, that he couldn't even tell. He couldn't stop his search for an escape long enough to feel his face. He was so close to her, so close to protecting her! They had always been close, hadn't they? He had never even taken a breath without her near him. She'd been born first but her fist had been tightly clasping his wrist. Even now she never wanted to be where he wasn't. She always said that, didn't she?
And now the separation. And the screams. Even if she had been silent, even if she hadn't cried out continuously until his body shook with pain, he would have heard her. Hadn't he always heard her? His thoughts fractured. His mind was almost as shattered as his ankle was. There was only one solid thought in this darkness, only one hope. His fingers, numb from the cold, frantically ran along ever crevice, every inch of the dark floor looking for anything, anything, that could help her. And the screaming continued.
The girl didn't know she was screaming. She wasn't conscious enough of her surroundings, of herself to know how her voice keened like a wild animal in a trap. She wasn't even aware of the man, not really. Her body may have tried to shy away from his touch but inside everything was black. She was huddled inside herself, the pain ricocheting so that she didn't dare try to escape. She didn't dare try to swim back into consciousness of herself.
Then everything stopped. The absence of sound roared into her ears. It forced her to the surface of awareness even though she knew it was a trick. She could hear screaming in the distance, somewhere beneath her. She knew it was him, knew he would come if he could. The thought made her open her eyes.
There was light here, so much light that it blinded her. She was on the faded linoleum floor that was dotted with blood. It felt cool against her flushed face. She could see the stove, the pasta still merrily bubbling. How long had it been? It felt like years, oh God it felt like years! But the pot was still bubbling. She didn't bother looking around her. She knew that the man was still there.
As if summoned, the man came up behind her, leaned down and touched her, pushed her on her back. She saw his eyes, his perfect face, his smile, his absence of clothes. When he touched her again, when he spoke to her like a lover would, she shuddered once then violently threw up.
When the silence began, he howled, enraged. She wasn't dead, he knew she wasn't dead But it was the other thing, the thing that could cause her silence, that drove the last traces of fear or pain out of his mind. He rushed the door again, again, again, again! A crack. A crack! It took the sound a moment to reach his ears over his frantic breathing.
His fingers brushed across the door and his heart gave a leap of triumph at the feel splintered wood. He hit the door again, his breath coming in harsh pants, to revved for screaming now, his eyes narrowed on the tiny splinter of light in front of him.

MIDDLEBURY — The Addison Central Supervisory Union (ACSU) could potentially run its schools more efficiently and cost-effectively by consolidating the governance of its nine schools and by merging some of its smaller elementary school districts.
Those were some of the findings in a 101-page school governance study unveiled by ACSU officials this week. The ACSU board last year commissioned retired Barre schools superintendent Raymond Proulx to perform the study as a first step in determining what, if any changes should be made to streamline operations within the union.
BRISTOL — A Bristol educator is among a team of teachers statewide making a push to reform the way technology is used in Vermont classrooms.

MONKTON — Bristol resident and Williston elementary school teacher Susan Stewart will be taking the helm at Monkton Central School next year in the wake of the retirement of longtime principal Rich Jessup.
Jessup, who has worked at the elementary school for 20 years, retired on medical leave this past fall. Interim principals Richard Schattman and Edorah Frazer have led the school this year, but the Monkton school board decided to offer Stewart the full-time job as a permanent replacement at a board meeting last week.
BRISTOL — Students from Japan are working alongside their peers at Mount Abraham Union High School this week on an ambitious cultural and environmental exchange project investigating affordable "green" housing.
The exchange was arranged by the Shoreham-based foundation Green Across the Pacific (GATP), and is taking place this week at Mount Abe, Harwood Union High School, and at various events around the state.
The Japanese group is made up of 13 high school students, two university students, and six adults (including a mix of teachers and government officials).
BRIDPORT/BRANDON — Administrators at Bridport Central School and Otter Valley Union High School breathed a collective sigh of relief on Tuesday after the Vermont Department of Education removed the schools from a list of Vermont's 10 persistently lowest achieving schools.
The schools were initially tagged for the list in a memo released last week, but state education officials on Tuesday said "human error" meant that two of the identified schools — Bridport and OV — were mistakenly included.
MIDDLEBURY — The Addison Central Supervisory Union (ACSU) Board next Wednesday will begin reviewing a new report detailing the district's current resources, and the discussion could be the first step in exploring school board consolidation in the seven-town union.
It was last fall that that the ACSU board commissioned a $5,000 so-called "governance study," contracted through the Vermont School Boards Association (VSBA). The VSBA ultimately picked Ray Proulx, a retired Vermont school superintendent, to perform the study.
VERGENNES — Alderman David Austin on Tuesday told his colleagues that a Vergennes resident has started a petition for a citywide revote on the question of whether the Addison Northwest Supervisory Union should change its governance system.
Vergennes residents voted on March 2 by a 232-142 margin, or 62-38 percent, in favor of a switch to one board to govern all four ANwSU schools. The other four ANwSU towns joined the city by similar margins — the overall percentage tally was 63-37.
LINCOLN — At first glance, the classroom-turned-dressing room at the Lincoln Community School looked on Tuesday night like the staging grounds of your average elementary school play.
Fifth- and sixth-graders bustled to and fro, snatching up pieces of their costumes and patiently waiting turns at makeshift hair and makeup stations. Teacher Alice Leeds darted from school gymnasium to classroom, from classroom to gymnasium, herding volunteer musicians into place as the students prepared for their first dress rehearsal.
ADDISON COUNTY — Acting in accordance with a new federal mandate, school officials in Vermont last week identified 10 of the state's lowest-achieving schools, and offered the promise of hefty federal funding to those willing to make significant changes.
Addison County students attend four of the 10 schools that cropped up on the list: Mount Abraham Union High School in Bristol, the Bridport Central School, Otter Valley Union High School in Brandon, and Fair Haven Union High School, where students from Orwell are schooled.
VERGENNES — In a vote watched closely around Vermont, residents of all five Addison Northwest Supervisory Union communities on Tuesday backed strongly the plan to have one 12-member board govern the four-school union.
The final tally was 908-539, or about 63-37 percent, with wide margins in each town.
As of June 2011, the existing Vergennes Union High and Elementary school boards, Ferrisburgh and Addison Central school boards, and ANwSU board will dissolve and the union will assume ownership of all four schools.

'Manners': lies, lies and more lies
BARNSTABLE — Mothers warn their young children not to lie, and most adults aren't smart enough to lie well, so they don't. "Bedside Manners," though, is full of lies told well.
Roger and Helen and Geoffrey and Sally are all at the same British inn and for the same reason. But they are unaware of whom they may see or kiss or need to say they're married to when they're in the front room of the inn.
Or the loo.
Or the green bedroom.
Or the blue bedroom.
Little white lies, one after the other, roll into some pretty big ones and land most of the characters in a deep hole of deception. As the hole gets bigger, each of the characters jumps on in and invites the audience to join the fun — as we do, laughing all the way.
At the center of the craziness is a very, very funny and portly Ferris, the innkeeper played by Christopher W. Cooley like Ricky Gervais, only more accessible. Ferris is the kind of Brit you want to have a drink with so you can sit back and laugh the whole night. The character tickled me more than once with sophomoric toilet humor and schoolboy handwork. (Yes, handwork. I won't elaborate.) Cooley plays an innkeeper who is very different from, yet hilariously similar to, Sacha Baron Cohen in "Les Miserables."
Anna Botsford plays lush Sally, who spends much of her time with a new bottle of Beefeater gin. She and Cooley both did a bang-up job Thursday on opening night. Dan Powers as Roger, Bill Ring as Geoffrey and voluptuous Angela Courtney Rossi as Helen round out the cast and give fine performances, too, under Ann Ring's direction.
The title "Bedside Manners" is a well-intended double entendre, and Derek Benfield's play is chock full of them. But with all the witty and thoughtful British telly available here in the states, this script seems about a pound short of taking advantage of British witticisms by comparison. There are a handful of subtle British jokes, just not enough, and Benfield could have done more with them.
The cast and director Ring did so much — everything they could, really — with the funny dialogue, though, despite some iffy word choices. I might argue that "subterfuge" seems a word that someone might not actually use in one character's comment that "We're not married to each other, so there must be some subterfuge." But that idea is really what the whole play is about.

The Mesa County Sheriff's Office has confirmed that Lester Ralph Jones, the man who lives at a residence that has been searched twice in connection with the disappearance of Paige Birgfeld is a 'person of interest' in her disappearance. Sheriff's Office Deputies have previously stated they suspect foul play.
On Wednesday, agents with the CBI and Mesa County Sheriff's Deputies searched a Fruitvale home for the second time since her disappearance.
Jones was arrested on a Domestic Violence case in 1999. Jones previously plead guilty to assault with a deadly weapon, violent crime where a weapon was used, and kidnapping. He spent time in prison from 1999 to 2001 with the Colorado Department of Corrections. He was released into a work release program in Mesa County. For less than a year Jones was under intensive supervised parole and then went under regular parole in 2003. Jones completed his parole in 2005.

Friday Book Design Blog: Beautiful Mutants, by Deborah Levy
It's always exciting to see a writer emerge from relative obscurity back into the reading public's consciousness, and although there are plenty of opportunities for shouting about the writers who should be better known, it's rarer that it actually happens. It seems to have happened with Deborah Levy, who was picked up and published to great acclaim by And Other Stories, leading to a Man Booker shortlisting for Swimming Home and a collection of stories, Black Vodka (that I wrote about on this blog here).
And Other Stories are reissuing a revised version of her 1990 novel An Amorous Discourse in the Suburbs of Hell later this year, and a new book-length dramatic poem in 2016 – but she also has books coming out from Penguin, who are republishing some of her backlist, and a new novel, Hot Milk, next year.
Now, I'm not in on the publishing politics of this. I'm just happy that she's finding her way onto shelves again, especially as some of her early books were huge discoveries for me in my late teens -and one book in particular, Beautiful Mutants, which I found both tantalising and talismanic.
I was, I'm sure, initially swayed by the marvellous cover, with an Andrzej Klimowski design, for Vintage. In looking on my shelves for her books, I realised how much I loved that 'V' colophon on the spine. Although Vintage paperbacks are still well designed, I find the type only logo rather dull – seeing a 'V' in a bookshop would always make one reach for it, to see what was on the cover – as I did recently, in fact, with Robert Irwin's Exquisite Corpse, which I still haven't read, but wow it's another great cover, this time using a photograph by Edmund James.
Klimowski, now Professor of Illustration at the RCA, is perhaps most associated, in book terms, with covers for Faber of Kundera, Pinter, Ishiguro and the like, his work involving collage and stark imagery derived from European poster design. You can ask questions about Klimowski's use of the female nude – as occurs in this interesting piece - but then Vintage continued the theme with their cover of The Unloved.
This cover, though, also has something of Vaughan Oliver's work for record label 4AD, which would have been a major influence on my aesthetic at the time. So, while I do like Penguin's bright, monochrome, type-led covers for their reissues, with their nod to modernism in the fracturing or misorienting of the title, I do miss the dark fantasy of those earlier covers – another one, Swallowing Geography, is below.
Googling for other covers it's clear that that fantastical element is easy to pull out of Levy's writing, but that processed into imagery it can seem rather fey – see the swam's neck photo – or programmatically sureal – the mermaid/seagull contraption.
Interestingly, the back covers of the Penguin reissues feature full-bleed black and white illustrations of Levy – her publisher obviously sees her as a project for the future, a writer-brand that will grow and grow. Which is a horrible way of saying a good thing. They don't expect to see Levy retreating to any obscurity any time soon.

November 29, 2015
The heavy rains that pounded Robertson County Tuesday morning also created havoc on a handful of roads.
The damage forced most drivers to take a detour.
It's a water world in Robertson County off Old Hearne Road near the Brazos County line.
Sylvia Baker stayed inside after more than four feet of water flooded Old Hearne Road just up the street from her house at Campbell's Creek.
"And it started hard and it just came boom here it comes. You know had a lot of thunder and lightning and then it was raining," said Baker.
The main road into her house is a mess and her back pasture is underwater too.
"All of the residents know that live on this road not to try to go through there. It doesn't look so deep but when you start through it you can really mess up so it's a good thing that they don't go through it," she added.
With more than two feet of water Mumford-Benchley Road resembles a river more than anything else and while the water is receding, 2.53 inches of rain fell just northwest of here in Hearne.
Robertson County Deputy Constable Benny McRae was one of the few cars we saw out and about on these wet roads making sure no one was stuck.
"If you do run into any water please do not drive into the water it's very, very dangerous. Turn around there's always an alternative route so turn around," warned McRae of Robertson County Precinct 2.
"Thankful for the rains even though it's a lot and keep us in," said Sylvia Baker.
The wildflowers don't seem to mind; the first day of spring is off to a soggy start.
The Department of Public Safety says no accidents were reported in Robertson County, but the Robertson County Sheriff's Office says they did respond to a pickup truck accident with no injuries.

David French Answers David Frum's Anti-Gun Tweet
Let me close by countering Mr. Frumãs hypothesis with one of my own: ãThe people who most want to carry are those who most clearly understand their responsibilities to their families, their friends, and their fellow man.ã They understand there is a difference between the protectors and the protected, and they donãt want to place their lives in the stateãs hands.

Pity David Frum….
Born and raised a subject of the Dominion of Canada, he cannot overcome his upbringing - despite being a naturalized Citizen.
Some people don't understand what Citizen means, and expect the Crown (or a Crown analogue) to keep the monsters at bay.
But he is preparing himself to be the 'acceptable conservative', for the left, to convince themselves they are fair and balanced.

The majority of heart diseases are initially treated medically by cardiologists. If, over time, your heart disease progresses to the point that medication no longer works to relieve the problem, heart surgery becomes an option, and you need to be evaluated by a cardiac surgeon.
The most common condition for which patients require heart surgery is coronary artery disease. Left untreated, it can lead to a heart attack. Coronary artery bypass surgery accounts for about 40 percent of heart surgeries. The next most common cardiac surgery, comprising about 25 percent of cases, is valve replacement or repair surgery. Other surgeries, including the implantation of mechanical assist devices, are helping patients with increasing frequency.

Joseph Taylor, 22, was shot and killed during a suspected home invasion in Shreveport's Caddo Heights neighborhood. / Handout
A trail of dried blood leading from the front door of a house in Shreveport's Caddo Heights neighborhood betrays the house's peaceful demeanor, giving a hint of the deadly home invasion that happened inside Sunday night.
It's the second two-man home invasion in Shreveport in two weeks that resulted in the shooting death of one of the intruders by an occupant with the intruder's weapon, according to Shreveport police.
About 10 p.m. Sunday, Willie Lee Baker, 29, unlocked the front door of his home in the 5700 block of Sussex Avenue and found his neighbor, Joseph Taylor, 22, inside holding a gun. That's when Taylor, who lived less than 10 houses down, fired a shot that entered Baker's left leg and then his right, according to his mother-in-law, Peggy Marshall, 52, who lives just two houses from Taylor.
The two tussled over the gun, and when Baker finally wrestled it from Taylor's grip, he shot the intruder once in the head, according to Shreveport police. That's when Baker's wife, Latoya Baker, 29, and their 8-year-old son jumped out of the boy's broken bedroom window and ran barefoot down the street to her mother's house.
About half an hour earlier, Latoya Baker was getting ready for bed when she heard a gunshot. She grabbed her son, whose bedroom window had been shattered by a bullet, and holed up inside the bathroom. But Taylor shot through the door and began demanding money, but the woman swore she had none to give, Marshall said. That's when he took her and her son from room to room even pressing the gun up against her son's cheek at one point levying demands and firing shots into the ceiling and walls when those demands were not met, Marshall said.
Taylor entered the Baker's home with the help of another man, who abandoned the attempt when it became clear the Bakers did not have any cash, according to police and Marshall. No description of the man was available as he stayed outside the house the entire time.
Lasonya Marshall, who has since walked through her sister's home inspecting the damage as relatives moved the couple's furniture out of the one-story rental, said she discovered bullet holes throughout the house: one in the boy's room, three in the bathroom, one in the kitchen, three in the couple's bedroom and four in the living room.
"It's just the thought of it," Peggy Marshall said, explaining that her daughter didn't want to live in the house after it became a crime scene. And it's changed her view of the neighborhood where she's lived for the past eight years. "It's more sad than scary. Why would you put a gun to an 8-year-old's head?"
Willie Baker underwent surgery at LSU Hospital in Shreveport on Monday and was listed in good condition that night, according to a nursing supervisor. "They say he's not going to be able to walk for four months," Lasonya Marshall said.
The previous deadly home invasion happened Dec. 29 and led to the death of Jeremy Bell, 18, and arrest of alleged accomplice Jerome Hughes, 23.

Osbourn Student Dies of Flu
MANASSAS, Va. — A 16-year-old student at Osbourn High School in Manassas has died from complications with the flu.
Schools spokeswoman Almeta Radford said school officials spoke with the family of Joshua Long who died last night. Those counselors are there to help Long's friends in dealing with the grief of his loss.
Information about the student's death will be sent home with students, said Radford.
Long's sudden death comes as a surprise to many in the community. Insidenova.com reports the student fell ill on Friday night with flu symptoms. He was taken to Children's Hospital in Washington where he later died, the website reports.
Many states across the U.S. are experiencing regional problems with flu outbreaks, but in Virginia the problem is widespread.
Since October 1, there have been more than 10,000 cases of flu hospitalizations in this country, and more than 80 people have died.
Long's death comes during a difficult week for the Manassas community. Last week, a 17-year-old student from Osbourn Park High School was killed in an auto crash.Send news and photos to Potomac Local

Dr Lakra at the Drawing Center, NYCTattoo // Monday, 28 Mar 2011
August 2010 cover artist and featured in the first Juxtapoz ever published in 1994, Mexican fine and tattoo artist Dr. Lakra is celebrating his first solo exhibition in NYC, showing at the Drawing Center. The exhibition features a complete 360 degree experience, with Lakra covering the walls in his signature handstyle and found objects.
The exhibition, done in collaboration with the Boston ICA (where Lakra had his first US museum retrospective last summer), makes the drawing front and center, using "drawing as the most immediate artistic impulse to invoke fundamental human urges like sex and violence."
The show is open through April 23, plenty of time to see Lakra's NYC solo debut.

All quotes tagged Humility
(449 quotes found)
"Greatness is not found in possessions, power, position, or prestige. It is discovered in goodness, humility, service, and character."
"Whoever undertakes to set himself up as a judge of Truth and Knowledge is shipwrecked by the laughter of the gods."
"True humility is intelligent self respect which keeps us from thinking too highly or too meanly of ourselves. It makes us modest by reminding us how far we have come short of what we can be."
"To bear defeat with dignity, to accept criticism with poise, to receive honors with humility -- these are marks of maturity and graciousness."
"Humility is the foundation of all the other virtues hence, in the soul in which this virtue does not exist there cannot be any other virtue except in mere appearance."

Damn, organizing my iTunes library is not fun. >_>
[Edited by yosup, 9/4/2009 9:58:15 PM]
I used to have an 60gig ipod, that took a lifetime to sort out.
You used to have a 60 gig ipod? What on earth happened to it?
On a night out i 'lost' it but i suspect someone pinched it, i didn't want to point the finger though.
[Edited by moderator EternalSlayer, 9/5/2009 6:34:16 AM]
Post removed.
Reason: Stupidity
Don't you mean "Reason: Too much wittiness in one sentence"?
@Vonny: Personally if I had a 60 gig I-pod I wouldn't take it out of my room... I mean 60 gigs, I'd snag it in two shakes of a tail feather if I had the chance of course.
[Edited by Spamwise_GameG, 9/5/2009 6:39:16 AM]
Thank you.
That's a new definition of wittiness that has so far passed me by.
Hmm, ok fair enough. For every door there is a different set of keys.

(Dow Jones) -- Ukraine has planted spring grains on 647,000 hectares to March 21, the foreign ministry said Friday, which is up 20 times from the 32,200 hectares planted at the same time last year.
Clement weather conditions allowed farmers to begin planting spring grains for this year's harvest one month earlier than usual and they have now planted 23% of the planned total spring grain area, the agriculture ministry said.
The early beginning of planting due to the warm and moist weather should give the crop a good start.
In 2012 bad weather meant that only 32,200 hectares were ...

It may have been the extended heat wave that drove people to seek the air-conditioned comfort of Reed Intermediate School, but Friends of the C.H. Booth Library Annual Book Sale organizer Denise Kaiser said that she believed the 2013 sale drew a larger crowd than last year during its run, Saturday, July 13 through Wednesday, July 17.
"We know that we had 1,306 paying adults on Saturday, our opening day," Ms Kaiser said, a number that was up from 2012, even taking into account that the age for free entry was increased to age 18 for the first time this year.
With no entry fee charged on Sunday (or subsequent days), she felt that the number of patrons was probably equal to that of Saturday. Book lovers found already bargain prices for the thousands of books, CDs, and DVDs slashed by half on Monday, followed by the popular "$5 Bag Day" on Tuesday, and the mother of all bonuses, Free Day, on the final day of the sale. It was a steady flow of bibliophiles, taking advantage of the unbeatable prices.
Only very few books remained unsold when the noontime closing bell rang, July 17.
"Things don't go into the garbage, though," emphasized Ms Kaiser. "What hasn't sold by noon on the last day is picked up by a company that takes paper," she said. So that unsold copy of Nancy Drew's The Secret In The Old Attic could come back one day as a Fancy Nancy book — or maybe a paper coffee cup.
Every year has special moments, Ms Kaiser said. This year, it was nice to see many more local people than usual. "We also had a number of people who thanked us for holding the sale, in spite of what happened 12/14," she said. "I think it was proof that life can go on," Ms Kaiser added.
Whether attracted from within the town, or travelers from many miles away, people are always impressed with the facility, the generosity for the school system, the size of the sale, and the organization, said Ms Kaiser.
She attributedthe smooth operation to the many volunteers. "Our volunteers are wonderful," she said, staying extended hours, assisting shoppers, and always condensing collections and straightening the sections of books and other items as the hours go by.
"We haven't tallied the numbers yet," said Ms Kaiser, as she waited for the truck to pick up the last of the tables, Wednesday afternoon, "but it seemed like another successful fundraiser."
No matter what the final net is, though, Friends of the C.H. Booth Library is committed to supporting the library at the level it always has, she said.
And until the truck pulled in, she had plans of her own: "I've got a warmed up piece of pizza, the New York Times Magazine that I haven't had time to read, and three pieces of the flourless chocolate cake from Trader Joe's left behind."
Life is good.

I'm sure you have heard and seen a few changes for Facebook this past week. Here is what has changed, and how it affects your Facebook Page and marketing.
Top Stories and Most Recent have been replaced by single News Feed.
All your news will be in one stream, with the most "interesting" stories at the top. If you don't check Facebook that often, you will see Top Stories first, which are marked by a blue corner.
If you check Facebook more frequently, you'll see most recent stories first.
Facebook has given users the power to "rank" items in the News Feed based on what you like.
This is where is where it really affects Business Pages.
It used to be, that the News Feed items with the most engagement, would get preference in the News Feed, over something that say had no comments or Likes.
Now that no longer matters.
Photo's are bigger coming through the News Feed.
New bigger photos and album layout give photos a better viewing experience.
The Subscribe Button
The subscribe function, adds a new tool to facebook personal profiles, that lets you share updates and content that are marked public. It lets you keep some things private, and other things public. When you post something, a link, or photo, you have the option of marking it "public" or for "friends"
It is geared toward individuals and public figures to connect with others, allowing you to share some things with publicly, while keeping personal things private.
People can subscribe to your updates, if they are not your friend, and they will get any public updates you make.
Since Facebook limits you to 4000 friends, this seems like a a way to connect with a lot of other people without having to add them as a friend.
It does not replace the Business Pages, nor is for businesses to set up personal Facebook Profiles. It seems like a better way to connect with other people, like business colleagues, without having to friend everyone.
Learn more about subscriptions here.
The Ticker
This is a Live Feed on the right side of your home page with real-time updates as they are posted.
Friend Lists
When you friend someone, there is a friend button on their profile that has options for categorizing friends as a "close friend" or "acquaintances"
Changes for Facebook Pages
Vanity Urls – you no longer need 25 Likes on a Business Page in order to have a custom URL for your Page.
Friend Activity Feed
There is a feed on the left side of the page so people can see how their friends interact with your page.
Liking content inside Facebook, photos, posts etc, no longer get published to your wall or News Feed.
Liking a Brand/Business Page does post an update to your wall and Newsfeed.
Liking a website or page outside of Facebook, will post to your Wall and News Feed.
The Like button, will be less of a factor as well as Facebook will feature items that are more actively shared.
No More Blog Imports to your Wall using Facebook Notes App
This message appeared at the top of the page:
"Changes to How You Share Content on Your Page
We want you to connect with your fans in the most effective ways possible. That's why as of September 30th you'll no longer be able to automatically import posts from your website to your page notes. The best way to get people to interact with your content is to give them insight into the links you share on your Wall by adding personal comments and responding to feedback from fans.
We're focused on creating even better tools for pages – look for announcements soon."
You will still be able to import your blog using a third party app and import your blog to a custom tab.
The Timeline

There has been some profit taking on the jump today. By some who sold on the news bounce. and by some who do not realize as I understand it, only existing share holders will participate in the new share issue at $1.25. that is said to be initiated around Nov.2 A great average down while S/P is rising. (Not a common opportunity) There will be I expect a 4 month hold period like normal.
Considering the Continuing improvement in the US housing market , he fact that ANS has added a production facility by acquiring the Footer mill in Alberta and that the S/P of ANS reached a lofty $36 in 08 on lesser production than it is capable of now.
Substantial upside here yet. Ainsworth is not affected by the Pine Beetle which is devastating BC and has infested some Alberta woodlands. ANS fiber supply is mainly Aspen. Not affected by the bug and high natural regeneration.

Either way..the dress is really makes the wearer looks sophisticated, decent and sexy all at the same time! I think it's not fair to compare their bodies in that dress..as next time we'll probably Eva Longoria or Gwen Stefany or Nicole Richie etc, etc in that dress..and what will you say then?
