Earl Swagger is tough as hell. But even tough guys have their secrets. Plagued by the memory of his abusive father, apprehensive about his own impending parenthood, Earl is a decorated ex-Marine of absolute integrity — and overwhelming melancholy. Now he's about to face his biggest, bloodiest challenge yet. It is the summer of 1946, organized crime's garish golden age, when American justice seems to have gone to seed for good. Nowhere is this more true than in Hot Springs, Arkansas, the reigning capital of corruption. When the district attorney vows to bring down the mob, Earl is recruited to run the show. As casino raids erupt into nerve-shattering combat amid screaming prostitutes and fleeing johns, the body count mounts — along with the suspense.
©2011 Stephen Hunter (P)2011 Brilliance Audio, Inc.
"Good start to a series"
It is a great book. Not the Best, definitely not the worst. Earl Swagger and DA are great characters.
Earl - D.A. - Owney Maddox
It took me a little while to get used to Eric G Dove. It started out sounding very staccato, and matter of fact but after a while it fell into a good groove. The matter of fact story telling fit the character so it began to meld. In the end, i was wrapped up in the story and in the voice.
Eric G Dove did a good job with the English Accent on Owney as well.
"I'm a sucker.."
...for a Swaggart. Interesting location and plot line for a location and time we don't usually remember. A study in the Earl Swaggart character and what made Bobby Lee the character he became.
"Loved this book!"
This is a wonderfully crafted story of corruption, gangsters and heroic police action. The descriptions and action are vivid and moves along briskly. One tends to identify or at least understand the underlying pathos and motivations of all the main characters, good guys and bad guys. In a no excuses fashion it does paint corruption in the evil colors that it deserves. I found the book much in the style of Elmore Leonard, in terms of subject, the crisp, realistic dialog and the complexity of the story which seems to unravel naturally and with ease. My only complaint is the final few chapters of the book seem to drag a bit tediously in exploring the psychology (prior experiences & motivation) of Earl Swagger, the main character, leading to the final "showdown". Except for this indulgence, I would be seriously tempted to give the book 5 stars. Earl Swagger and post WW2 America are such unique and interesting subjects, I truly hope Stephen Hunter follows this with more "swagger".
"Many Storylines, Slow Start, Heart-Pounding Finish"
There are at least six storylines in this well-written book. Perhaps as a result of that, it takes a good two or three hours to get into the story. From there it builds to a climactic ending. Characters are well-developed. You will enjoy the ride once you get into it.
"Must Love Cussing"
Stop the foul language
I could not even listen to this book because of the foul language. How many times do you have to say the work F**k in one sentence?
Retired reading, English, & math teacher. Survivor of rear-ending on Channel 5 bridge in Florida Keys that resulted in 10 day coma&rehab,
"Started well but lost me with too much detail,"
I liked this in beginning but had to almost force myself to finish with too much repetitive detail. It lost me by the end.
"Good Book, Sequels Drop Off Significantly"
This presentation did not use a lot of character voices or added background noise and music. It was a nice straight forward presentation.
Two actually, Earl Swagger and D.A. Parker. Both demonstrate no nonsense approach to life without bluster.
No, but I have now listened to a few sequels of the Earl Swagger series, and presentation is the most significant factor in the quality decline.
No - too lengthy.
"Yahooooo, loves me some cowboy"
No, because I would be embarrassed to admit how much I like it.
Cowboy justice, revenge, gunplay. Don't remember them, but they must have all been there.
Eric Dove bring Earl Swagger and all the characters to vivid life
"Didn't expect much, got a lot"
What a surprise. I don't usually enjoy turn of the century stories but listened a bit and got hooked.
This was a new author for me, always the quest to find yet another story teller who makes me look forward to the next book. Eric Dove did a fine narration, a fit like Guidall and Mitch Rapp, Longmire, etc.
All the gangsters make an appearance only to meet up with Earl. I thoroughly enjoyed the story which I think was a new shot at modern day special forces. My take, give it a try.
"Definitely full of Action but a bit drawn out."
This was definitely an action filled story, it was interesting learning about Hot Springs in the 1940s, however, not my favorite type of action thriller. The story was a bit drawn out, and I wish we could have gotten to know the characters much better. The main character, Earl Swagger, was not as believable as he should have been. I wish he would have developed him much better.
Many say that he has a lot of better books than this one, but I am sort of hesitant to use a credit to try another one. I prefer James Lee Burke's Robichheaux novels much, much more!

Road & rail
of Americans still prefer to see the U.S.A. the old-fashioned way.
When it comes to
planning a vacation, many people are more concerned
with getting to their destination than in the travel
experience itself. But if you find sightseeing to be
a joy, a trip by train can enable you to see more of
the country that you're passing through, while possibly
saving you money in the process.
As the nation's airlines have in recent
weeks announced price hikes to combat rising fuel costs,
the cost of train tickets has remained stable. "The
cost of fuel is a much smaller portion of what it costs
to run passenger trains than it is in other modes (of
transportation)," says Marc Magliari, a spokesman
for Amtrak.
Planes "are much more driven by fuel
prices than we are. Not to say we're immune from it,
but generally speaking, we are much less driven by fuel
prices than some other modes are."
That doesn't mean you won't pay a pretty
penny for train service, particularly during the peak
travel season, which ranges from two weeks before Memorial
Day until two weeks after Labor Day, according to Magliari.
Other peak travel times are during the Thanksgiving
and Christmas holidays.
Not only are rates lower during off-peak
travel times, but since the lowest-priced seats tend
to fill up first, you're less likely to be able to buy
the least expensive tickets if you don't book your seat
weeks or even months in advance.
It's important to "plan and make
reservations well ahead, especially on Amtrak's most
popular routes during the summer," says John Pitt,
author of "USA
by Rail." That's because trains tend to fill
up quickly during these times, he says.
Since Amtrak is pretty much the only game
in town for long-distance rail travel, passengers don't
have as many options as airline passengers, who get
to choose from a variety of competing airlines. As a
result, there is less of an incentive for steep price
cuts during the travel season.
If you're not planning to go far, you
may have other railway options. Several states have
train systems that offer travel between cities or counties.
For example, the Capitol Corridor Service offers railway
travel to parts of Northern California, while New Jersey
Transit offers train service throughout the Garden State.
Though these railway services are primarily designed
for commuters, you can take advantage of them if your
destination is not far, or if they can take you to another
airport or train station where you can find a less expensive
plane or Amtrak fare.
Shopping for discounts
Naturally the first place to check for fare specials
is the Amtrak Web
site. The site features weekly specials on varying
routes. Certain passengers are also eligible for discounts.
For example, children between ages 2 and 15 ride for
half price, while students, seniors and veterans are
among the groups that benefit from special rates as
well. AAA members can save 10 percent on a ticket by
mentioning their memberships.

Houston Hub to Launch Continentals Dreamliner to Auckland
Houston Airport System
May 26, 2010
© Houston Airport System
Continental Airlines is the first carrier to identify route plans for the Boeing 787
Continental Airlines will operate non-stop flights from Houstons George Bush Intercontinental Airport (IAH) to Auckland, New Zealand starting Nov. 16, 2011 and the even bigger news is the aircraft: Continentals first Boeing 787 Dreamliner.
This new flight between Houston and Auckland shows how the Dreamliner will create new opportunities to connect global markets that currently are not being served, said Mario Diaz, Houston Airport System director of aviation. As the largest hub for Continental, Bush Intercontinental Airport is honored to be selected as the launch pad for the Continental Boeing 787.
Continental is the first airline in the world to identify route plans for its Boeing 787 Dreamliner fleet. This new-technology composite aircraft offers lower operating costs, better environmental performance and an improved cabin environment for customer comfort.
This hub has ongoing growth opportunities because it has a strategic location, space for expansion, support from the community and an excellent team of Continental co-workers who deliver our clean, safe and reliable service, said Jeff Smisek, Continentals chairman, president and CEO.
The Houston-Auckland route will benefit from connecting traffic at both ends. Continental's Houston hub will draw passengers from throughout North America and Houston will be a very competitive connecting hub for travelers on itineraries between Europe and Auckland.
"The Houston to Auckland service by Continental Airlines will be of huge benefit to both local and regional businesses and communities in both cities, said Simon Moutter, CEO of Auckland Airport.
Continental plans to operate the route on a daily basis, with five-times-weekly service during certain periods in the first year of operation.

Hub Improvements
Meanwhile, Continental and the Houston Airport System announced the completion of the $65 million Terminal C renovation and expansion project. The upgrade was the first since the terminal was built in 1981.
The project was a partnership with the airport and the airline that enhances the customer experience by renovating and expanding the customer check-in facility in Terminal C IAH. The new facility increased the ticketing lobby by 15,000 square feet and the number of self-service kiosks doubled from 56 to 115. Other improvements included remodeling of the baggage claim and security checkpoint areas.
We now have a very open lobby; it is actually brighter and more spacious, said Debbie Price, Continental vice president of the Houston Hub. We have a lot of customers who check-in online at home. We made it easy for them to drop off their bags and go to the security checkpoint. The goal with our facilities is to make it simple for the customer and offer a user-friendly environment so they can relax more.
In the renovated terminal, Continental also offers full-service check-in for customers who require extra assistance.

It makes a small tinking noise. It is not consistant but it seems that it is one one part of the stoke. Once the in a higher gear i see that feels like the stroke is smoother. WHAT IS GOING ON??? Is it possible that this is only chain slip? I'm sorry if this is a bad discription. Not to sure how to discribe it. Thank you for you help.

Receiver Brown lost for at least 8 weeks with broken ankle
The Chargers wanted to find a rhythm with their offense.
It could have gone better.
The first-team unit struggled with turnovers, and while the second team scored on its opening drive, the celebration halted with wide receiver Vincent Brown getting carted off the field in a 28-20 Saturday night win over the Cowboys.
Brown broke his left ankle on an 18-yard touchdown reception in the third quarter. He will miss at least eight weeks and have surgery today, a source said.
Brown was seen on crutches in the locker room, wearing a protective boot.
Tight end Antonio Gates said it's "definitely a blow."
"I believe so, in my heart, that he's our best route runner," Gates said. "With that being said, we have a lot of guys that can go down the field and do other things, but that's just a difficult thing to go through, a guy like him, who's having a great camp, to lose him in the second preseason game."
Brown, a 2011 third-round pick, had four catches, 81 yards with a touchdown in last week's preseason opener against the Packers.
In coach Norv Turner's media conference the next day, he called Brown a "playmaker," someone who would "figure strongly" into the team's offense.
Brown was discussed Saturday with a different tone.
"You go through a 16-game season … you're going to have adversity," Turner said. "We've brought in a lot of (receivers in free agency). Guys said, 'Why'd you sign him?' Because we've been in a position where we've had some adversity. I think we're equipped to handle what comes our way, and we'll have some guys step up and fill his shoes."
The team likely will carry an extra receiver on their 53-man roster. That may mean one fewer special teams standout makes the cut.
For the second straight week, turnovers bothered the Chargers' starters.
Quarterback Philip Rivers was 13 of 15 for 109 yards and two interceptions. He has completed 16 of 20 passes this preseason, and of the four misses, three have been picks.
Even in exhibitions, the trend of turnovers is notable, as they proved the most glaring shortcoming of the 2011 offense. The team committed eight turnovers in its eight wins. In eight losses, they gave the ball away 20 times.
In the second quarter Saturday, Rivers had receiver Robert Meachem streaking deep downfield with separation on cornerback Chris Carr. The ball was underthrown, and Carr intercepted it and returned it 17 yards.
It was the second straight time this preseason, dating back to the Packers, that an interception resulted when the two tried to connect.
The streak broke with a 7-yard completion on Rivers' next throw.
"I'm not 100 percent sure what happened until I see it," Rivers said of the interception. "Obviously, it was underthrown. I know that. I was probably late or it wouldn't be overthrown. … I've got to not turn it over. Like I said, we haven't won or lost a game."
Rivers' second interception was intended for Brown. It bounced off his hands and, after a prolonged juggling act, into Carr's for his second pick.
The defense was on the field for nearly 12 minutes in the first quarter. Schematically, it stuck mostly with its basic, four-man pass rush,
Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo faced little pressure, going 9 of 13 for 75 yards. The Dallas starters were 0-for-3 on third down.
The Chargers scored all 28 points in the second half.
Quarterback Charlie Whitehurst was making his first preseason appearance after missing last week with a knee injury. He was 7-for-12 for 122 yards and two touchdowns, including a 38-yard strike to undrafted rookie wide receiver Mike Willie.
Turner said he expects Whitehurst to be "just an outstanding player for us."

Weblog entry #68 for dkg
ssh -N -T -oExitOnForwardFailure=yes -L 3306:localhost:3306 firstname.lastname@example.com
But sometimes, the remote service runs on a UNIX-domain socket, not on a TCP socket -- for example, debian's default configuration for postgresql is to have it listen only on a UNIX domain socket in /var/run/postgresql, and use SO_PEERCRED with a simple system account == psql account mapping scheme to authenticate users without needing any extra credentials. This is not quite as simple to forward over ssh, but it's doable as long as socat is installed on both your local host and on the remote postgres server.
Here's one way to do it if $SOCKET_DIR points to the full path of a directory under the user's control (this is all one command, split across lines for easier reading):
socat "UNIX-LISTEN:$SOCKET_DIR/.s.PGSQL.5432,reuseaddr,fork" \ EXEC:'ssh email@example.com socat STDIO UNIX-CONNECT\:/var/run/postgresql/.s.PGSQL.5432'Then, you'd connect with something like:
psql "user=remoteuser host=$SOCKET_DIR"Each such psql connection will trigger an ssh connection to be made. Of course, this won't work well if ssh has to prompt for passwords, but you should be using ssh-agent anyway, right?
There are at least a couple nice features of being able to use postgresql from a local client like this:
- your psql client can load files from your local machine, and can dump/export files to the local machine.
- your ~/.psql_history stays local, so you can review what you did even when you're offline
- you can run local RDBMS administrative GUIs like pgadmin3 with minimal network traffic and no extra packages installed on the server.
- unlike forwarding TCP ports (where any other user account on the machine can hop onto your connection), you can control access to your local UNIX-domain socket with standard filesystem permissions on $SOCKET_DIR.
Comments on this Entry
Did you know that SSH already has code to forward Unix sockets? This code is used only for the specific case of X11 forwarding, but it is there.
Unfortunately there is no interface to ask for generic socket forwarding, which would allow things like your PostgreSQL forwarding, PulseAudio forwarding and so on. Here your trick comes handy. Thanks!

If the X server itself is listening on TCP, it knows that it is listening on the network and can apply different rules and policy based on that fact.
If you use socat proxy the network in to the X server, it assumes that each inbound connection is coming from your account. You're basically inviting anyone who decides to connect to port 6000 on your computer to execute arbitrary code as your user. This strikes me as a Bad Idea.
The reason my postgresql + ssh + socat example above is different is that ssh is authenticating the connections, and the traffic itself is encrypted and integrity-checked. So arbitrary network attackers can't DROP TABLES on me ;)

i'd be a little wary about forwarding gpg-agent to a remote host, though -- that would mean that anyone with control over the remote account (including the administrator of that machine) could get unfettered access to the material stored in the gpg-agent. This is could be mitigated by having the gpg-agent prompt the user for accepted use, but this appears to be a contentious issue for gpg (i think it would be a fine idea).
Note also that gpg-agent in its 1.x and 2.0.x versions doesn't actually cache the secret key material for OpenPGP certifications. It only caches passphrases, and the gpg binary itself needs to have access to the encrypted secret key, which it can unlock with the passphrase it fetches from the agent. This makes it not terribly useful for forwarding gpg-agent over the network, because you'd need to distribute your secret key to the remote system as well (yikes!)
Werner Koch has said that gpg 2.1 will move all secret key handling directly into the agent, though, which makes your proposed approach seem more useful to me.

Associate of Science in Nuclear Medicine Technology
The nuclear medicine technologist is a paramedical worker concerned with the use of radioactive materials for physicians to diagnose and treat medical conditions. Once registered, the NM technologist can practice in the United States and Canada with a state license.
For more information about a career in nuclear medicine, check the Bureau of Labor Statistics web site.
The nuclear medicine program is a cooperative educational endeavor with the Nuclear Medicine Institute (NMI) at The University of Findlay. The first year of the program is spent at Kettering College acquiring the courses required for admission to the NMI program. During the first semester in the program on the Kettering campus, the student must apply for admission to NMI. Once accepted, the student will spend the first semester of their second year at the Findlay campus and the final two semesters at a clinical site arranged by the student and the clinical coordinator of the NMI program.
While attending Findlay University, students will pay Findlay University tuition to Findlay University.
When all requirements have been met at Kettering College and the NMI program at The University of Findlay, Kettering College will award the Associate of Science degree in nuclear medicine technology, and the NMI awards a certificate of completion.
Graduates of accredited nuclear medicine programs who are certified by either the ARRT or NMTCB may apply for certain advanced imaging technologies tracks or completion of a Bachelor of Science in Health Sciences at Kettering College.
Graduates of the nuclear medicine program may be eligible for both of the national examination boards — one administered by the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists (ARRT), and one offered by the Nuclear Medicine Technology Certification Board (NMTCB). Upon successful completion of the ARRT and/or CNMT examination, the graduate is eligible for licensure by the Ohio Department of Health X-Ray Control Program. Applicants may wish to contact other states for possible licensure requirements.
Kettering College is accredited by the Higher Learning Commission, approved by the Adventist Accrediting Association (AAA), and authorized by the Ohio Board of Regents. The nuclear medicine technology course of study (Nuclear Medicine Institute at The University of Findlay) is accredited by the Joint Review Committee on Educational Programs in Nuclear Medicine Technology (JRCNMT), 2000 W. Danforth Road, Suite 130, No. 203, Edmond, OK 73003; 405-285-0546.

Past 'Idol' finalists bring Motown to Folsom
By: Brad Smith Telegraph Correspondent
This year, former American Idol singers will be bringing some Motown magic to the kick-off block party for Folsom Live. Don Langford, entertainment coordinator for Folsom Live, said the Friday show should be something exciting. "It's going to be a really great show for the whole family," Langford said. "If you love the show and music in general, then you're going to enjoy the stage show." Four former Idol contestants will be performing that Friday night and they are: Trenyce Cobbins who placed fifth on the second season of Idol in 2003; Gina Glocksen who placed ninth the sixth season of Idol in 2007; Michael Sarver who placed tenth on the eighth season of Idol in 2009; and, David Hernandez who placed twelfth on the seventh season of Idol in 2008. Langford said that the Motown stage show came out of the American Idol program itself. "If you're familiar with the show, there are 'theme' nights," he said. "One night, the contestants will perform country-western songs or songs from certain bands. However, the highest-rated program has been the one with the Motown era songs." Langford said that Michael Orland, musical director for the "American Idol" TV show, oversees the Idol touring shows that feature former contestants. Since the Motown program has always been popular, Langford said Orland packaged together a tour featuring Motown songs. "There are different tours for each region of the country," Langford said. "In fact, Folsom Live is the beginning of the West Coast Motown tour shows. Yes, they're kicking off the tour here in our town." This will also be the first time the stage show will be performed outdoors. "The Motown show is a big production. This is something that you would see at the Arco Arena," Langford said. "But this is going to be a very big, elaborate production. People will really love it, I think." Adding to the hometown touch, Langford said that some local singers would have the chance of performing onstage with the American Idol singers. "The Powerhouse Pub has been holding their own American Idol contests for a month or so," he said. "The winner will appear during the Motown show." Murray Weaver, the Pub's owner, said that there have been Idol contests held for more than a month. "It's been amazing to see a lot of talented people come out and perform," Weaver said. "Some really put their hearts into it. In the end, it comes down to two finalists." Weaver said that the Pub contests will have two winners: ages 21 and below then 21 and older. "We didn't want to exclude young people so we held a separate contest for them as well," he said. Weaver said that last year Folsom Live drew crowds of more than 6,000 attendees. "I think this year we'll have more people," he said. "With the Motown show, that's going to be a big draw." Langford said he is looking forward to the Motown show. "I can't think of a greater way to start off Folsom Live," he said. "People are going to enjoy this show." For more information, visit folsomlive.com.

In this article
What sort of party activities appeal to three-year-olds?You could try copying the set-up you'd find at your local nursery. Lay out a number of tables, with different activities on each one, and let the children move between them.
You could try:
- some play dough and cookie cutters
- glue and pictures cut from magazines
- a large container full of water and some cups and funnels
- a tray of sand and some toy diggers
- a farm set or doll's house
- some dressing-up clothes
Bubble machines are also fun, although they can make floors slippery, so are best used outdoors.
If you have time in the run-up to the party, gather some large cardboard boxes and decorate them as cars, space rockets, or boats.
Let the children get into them and tell them you're going on a journey to Sweetie Land, a distant planet or a desert island. Then invite them to jump out and 'explore'.
Another nice idea is to lay out some coloured scarves and encourage the children to wave them in time to music. Vary the tempo with marching tunes, soft, dreamy music and something with a good beat.
You don't need a parachute to play parachute games. Lay out a tablecloth and place some bouncy balls on top. Invite the children to grab the corners of the cloth and see how high they can shake the balls. The children can take it in turns running underneath.
Have a few emergency picture books on hand to read. If it all gets too much for your small guests, invite them to hop on to the sofa, or sit in a circle, and listen to a story.
What party games do three-year-olds enjoy?Musical games, action rhymes and 'pretending' games grab the attention of this age group.
Games with complicated rules are definitely out. Three-year-olds won't be able to cope with too much competition, either.
Most children love traditional action songs. Try:
- If you're happy and you know it
- Old Macdonald
- Heads, shoulders, knees and toes
- The hokey-cokey
- A sailor went to sea, sea, sea
Go through the songs first, demonstrating the actions, and then sing together.
Most three-year-olds can cope with a game of pass the parcel, if you keep the gaps between openings fairly short and snappy. Ensure there's a sticker or sweetie in every layer, so no one's disappointed. Be prepared, too, for some guests to refuse to surrender the parcel!
Musical bumps or musical statues are good choices, although at this age it's best to play just for fun rather than have winners and losers. Most children this age will refuse to leave the dance floor when they're called out.
Another idea is a simple treasure hunt. Hide some sweets or trinkets around the garden or house, and give your guests little paper cups to collect them in.
Is it worth splashing out on an entertainer?Although some three-year-olds will have the patience to sit through a magic act or clown performance, one or two disruptive children is all it takes to spoil the show.
Bear in mind that a magician or clown might scare children of this age. They generally find people in masks or make-up disturbing, and may be alarmed by some of the tricks.
If you have a friend or relative who plays a musical instrument, a DIY music show may be a better option. Get the children to sit in a circle and join in a few well-known songs. If you can round up some drums or tambourines so the children can play along, so much the better.
Or make your own shakers from plastic bottles filled with dried beans or rice, decorated with streamers. Do seal the bottles shut with glue or sticky tape, though. Curious three-year-olds won't be able to resist opening them and pouring the contents all over the floor.

Grizzlies 103, 76ers 100
Marc Gasol scored a season-high 27 points and Rudy Gay had 26 to lead the Memphis Grizzlies to a 103-100 comeback victory over the host Philadelphia 76ers on Monday night.
Jerryd Bayless scored a season-high 21 points to help the Grizzlies win without point guard Mike Conley. Conley sat out with a sprained left ankle suffered in Sunday's loss to New Orleans.
The Grizzlies rallied from 17 down to take control late in the fourth. Bayless missed a jumper, Gay grabbed the rebound and put Memphis up 101-100 on a bucket with 13.3 seconds left. "When the ball's up, you've got to go get it," Gay said. "I just went to go get it."
Philadelphia's Thaddeus Young missed a short attempt in front of the basket and the Grizzlies grabbed the rebound.
Gay hit both attempts from the free-throw line for the three-point cushion.
Nick Young couldn't get the tying shot off at the buzzer for the Sixers.
Rockets 125, Jazz 80: James Harden scored 25 points as Houston handed Utah its worst home loss in franchise history.
Warriors 114, Raptors 102: David Lee had 21 points and 12 rebounds, and Andrew Bogut returned from an ankle injury to also score 12 as Golden State won at Toronto.
Kings 96, Wizards 94: In Washington, Isaiah Thomas made a floater with a second to play, capping a seesaw finish as Sacramento broke a four-game losing streak.
Nets 97, Magic 77: Deron Williams had 20 points and nine assists as Brooklyn defeated Orlando for its eighth consecutive home victory.
Nuggets 102, Pacers 101: Andre Iguodala made a free throw with 0.4 seconds remaining after forcing a turnover to deny a last-second shot by Indiana, and Denver held off the visiting Pacers.
Bulls 93, Bobcats 85: Jimmy Butler scored a career-high 19 points and Nate Robinson added 15 to power Chicago to victory at home.

The Bosnian model started his career at the age of 17 in Australia. Two years later, he officially made his debut appearance closing the Spring 2011 Jean Paul Gaultier show in Paris. That same season he walked for designers John Galliano, Raf Simons, and Paul Smith.
In 2012, the androgynous model opened the Rosa Clara fashion show at Barcelona Bridal Week. For the occasion, Pejic took to the runway dressed in an all-white gown with a thin ribbon tied under the bust. He also wore some magnificent platform shoes that immediately gained rave reviews.
In 2011, Pejic was revealed as the new face of Marc by Marc Jacobs, and was also photographed for the Spring campaign by Jean Paul Gaultier.
Pejic is interested in politics and enjoys reading all kind of texts written by Karl Marx.

I have read the introduction & help section, & while this might be a newcomers question, I still would like to know if it's possible to get a printer friendly version of a page? Specifically the TNG Pocket Books novels page, all the books are list chronologically & I'd like to print it out, without all the ad clutter. I know the ads pay for the site, but I just want the list of books. It's Sat. Sept. 18, 2010 at 0241 eastern daylight time. I'll check back in 40-48 hours to see if anyone has an answer. Eastadam. "-- 184.108.40.206 06:45, September 18, 2010 (UTC)"
- Greetings. Creating an account and logging in should remove most of the ads for you. Then, go to your preferences and change the "skin" to Monobook. That skin should have the best mode for printing.
- Note to self, or anyone else interested. Once the new skin is out, let's try to create a CSS for print that does not suck. -- Cid Highwind 15:06, September 18, 2010 (UTC)

The Republic's primary content mission for 2014 is to be the leading source of local news and information on matters of importance to our readers.
Among those 25 words, one stands tallest: local.
That mission hasn't changed in the two weeks since the calendar still said 2013, but we are making some changes in the newspaper this year that emphasize our commitment to become even more local.
The Opinion Page is one of them, where there will be some changes in content and frequency. As of today, we are modifying the publication schedule of the Opinion Page, which will appear five days a week — Wednesday through Sunday.
During these five days a week, I know we can raise the percentage of local content on the Opinion Page to make it even more relevant to our readers. Our emphasis isn't national or world affairs, although certainly issues of larger scope do impact and interest the people of Bartholomew County.
Editions of the Monday and Tuesday Republic, when we won't publish an Opinion Page, are typically the smallest papers of the week by page count. This change allows us to add an additional page for news stories — primarily local news, but also state, national and world stories that matter.
But back to the Opinion Page; here is what you can expect beginning this week.
Five locally written editorials per week, mostly on matters that occur in or affect Bartholomew County, but occasionally on topics of statewide interest. One of them, using a format I call Quick Takes, will consist of a roundup of three to five short opinions on people and issues that have been in the news, which will appear each Saturday.
We will have five local anchor columnists, with each having a standing day of the week: Doug Showalter, Wednesday; Harry McCawley, Thursday; Kirk Johannesen, Friday; Paige Harden, Saturday; and me on Sunday. You should be very familiar with the work of Doug and Harry, whose columns have appeared in The Republic for years. Kirk, who now oversees the Opinion Page since Harry's retirement a week ago, joins the rotation. And Paige, a former features editor at The Republic who has been a monthly community columnist, moves into the weekly rotation.
Our weekly community columnist lineup continues with Tim Vrana, Tom Lane, Dennis McCarty, Barney Quick and John Walter. They will publish on Wednesdays in a rotation.
We will occasionally publish a Spotlight Letter, as we have done in the past, which carries the writer's photo and looks much like an Opinion Page column.
Especially with a Columbus native running state government in Gov. Mike Pence, there continues to be much interest locally in what's happening with state policy. What occurs at the Statehouse certainly has an impact on Republic readers. So expect to continue to see familiar columnists who write on statewide matters, including John Krull, Leslie Weidenbener, Cam Savage, Abdul-Hakim Shabazz and Craig Ladwig, which typically will publish Thursday through Sunday.
On a less frequent basis, you will see columns from Lee Hamilton, the former longtime congressman from Indiana who writes occasionally, and others.
Perhaps more important that any of the features mentioned above are the daily letters to the editor that I hope will publish each day. Of course, that depends on you. If you write them, we will publish them.
Last year, we published 606 letters to the editor, or an average of 11.7 per week. That was an increase from 546 letters in 2012, when we averaged 10.5 per week.
Keep them coming. Please email your letters to email@example.com or mail them to 333 Second St., Columbus, IN 47201.
Here are some reminders for when you do.
Letters are subject to editing, for length or clarity. We have a 500-word maximum. If spelling or grammar isn't your strong suit, for example, we will help with that.
We do give preference to letters written by local people or those who write about topics that matter most to local people.
Please address your letter to "the editor." Don't send us one addressed to someone else (such as "an open letter to ..."). If your letter is really directed to someone else, send it to them. But even these letters can easily be modified to meet our to-the-editor requirement.
Some discussions don't fit as a Letter to the Editor:
Personal attacks: You can be critical without getting personal.
Product or business endorsements: Our advertising representatives will be happy to assist you.
Consumer complaints: We will refer you to the Better Business Bureau.
There you have it.
Let me know what you think about the new emphasis on Opinion, or anything else that happens to be on your mind.

While most of the country has shifted focus, the Gulf Coast is far from putting the devastation of Hurricanes Katrina & Rita behind them. The Mississippi Renewal Forum [1], a weeklong charette hosted by Biloxi, MS, wrapped up on Monday as teams of architects, planners, code experts, and public officials presented plans for rebuilding the coastal areas of Mississippi. Led by New Urbanist Andres Duany, the teams put forth ideas for reconstructing and revitalizing the eleven major areas affected on the Gulf Coast. Some highlights include options for eco-tourism in Gautier, a revitalized street grid in Biloxi, and creative forms for connectivity, green areas, and civic gathering spaces in all of the communities involved.
As declared prior to the start of the charette, the plans and ideas put together were only suggestions for the communities to consider; now the challenge lies with individuals and local governments. It is likely that some fiscal justification will undermine the rebuilding of many truly colorful neighborhoods, putting both architectural and cultural diversity at risk. On Tuesday, the Gulfport City Council adopted a resolution expressing support for moving casinos further inland for the purposes of reclaiming badly needed income. Hopefully, smart planning objectives will balance the economic realities motivating the reconstruction of the Gulf Coast.

just curious...
i'm mainly a freshwater guy, but I recently went to my LFS and just for fun asked about marine tanks. the guy told me that on of the necessary components was live rock, and he explained how they make it, with leaving the rock in the ocean for some time. Technically, since i live near the coast, couldn't i make my own live rock by just leaving it there for a week or two and coming by to pick it up later? just wanna know.. i don't and am not planning on starting a marine tank, anyways.
yes however after leaving it for a month or two+ the chances of pollutions and/or theft are pretty high being close to the shore. idealy if you were to do this it would be best to boat your rock out to a private location, preferably close to a reef and leave it for a good period of time. i would check local laws ( they vary everywhere and if someones sees you taking rock it will be tough to explain it was originally your rock )
honestly IMO the surest and safest way is to cure it yourself in a spare tank/ bucket/ trash can with a powerhead. this way you can monitor the process and add critters of your choosing vs the risk of un-wanted hitch hikers by using rock from the wild. you would use a same piece of "wild rock" though to seed your other rock to eventually all become live rock.
oh. thats cool. I might actually try and make some..try to sell it off. whatever. thanks anyways guys!

After last week's stellar finish, you'd think I'd be riding a wave this week.
I'm not.
Instead, I'm in a serious funk. A whole lotta' personal crap all kind of happened at once on Monday, and I've spent the rest of the week floating instead of carving. Head down, trying not to make waves.
I'm pissed off, upset, sad, tired and ... did I mention pissed off already? I know it's not constructive, I know I can choose to let it go, I know I should -- but I won't. Particularly because there's a recurring theme I'm railing against, if only in my own mind, and I'd like to find a way to break the cycle. But I can't do it alone, and I don't have much support.
I'm hoping my triangle theory kicks in tomorrow: With all the personal junk, I should be flying: When all else fails, at least I (usually) have my riding. But even that's not a given right now, which should worry me more than it does, but I'm having trouble mustering the passion.
I'll tell you what, though, there have been a few bright spots. One in particular that I think caught everyone by surprise: When New Belgium Brewery announced they were opening an East Coast facility in Asheville, they specifically mentioned the outdoor recreation opportunities here, including bicycling, as a part of the attraction. Like many folks, they see the greenways over by the river and get excited ... and it's not until they spend more time here that they realize that the infrastructure doesn't really extend beyond a few short blocks. (Note the word "image" in the headline.) But their vision and passion, together with Sierra Nevada in Henderson County, may help the bicycle master plan to move closer to reality: Is it any coincidence that Asheville announced they were accepting bids to improve the River Arts District the very next day, after New Belgium's announcement?
My hope is that we as a three-county, maybe four, region finally get over our petty differences and infighting to really capitalize on everything Western North Carolina has to offer for outdoor recreation, and bicycling in particular. A certain few folks have been fighting for that for the past three decades, and there was a palpable excitement in the air at Liberty Bicycles' 32nd Anniversary party last night -- we may have finally hit a tipping point. Only time will tell, but will Daniel and Kate enjoy safe alternatives to riding their bicycles on Haywood Road and NC-280? I'd like to think we'll be here to see that come to pass, and I know I'll be doing my part to help make it happen.
Hey, I know. I'll go for a ride. Maybe that'll help me get out of this funk. "Singletrack therapy" usually does!

Venous Stasis and Compression Stockings
See more » My Life is an Open Blog
Went to Duke's Wound Management Institute as I have every Friday for the last couple of months. My legs were finally well enough that they didn't wrap them. Instead they gave me a couple of pair or prescription compression stockings. They say that anyone who has ever suffered from venous stasis has to wear stockings for the rest of their life.
A nuisance but the stockings do keep your legs warmer in winter.
Actually when I was first hit with venous stasis seven years ago I was able to abandon the stockings after six months. But I riding my bike and working out every day. And my diet was stringently healthy. Another incentive to state doing the obvious and sane thing again.
I let myself get derailed during some rough times between myself and Charles. The second time I've let that happen. There's a long entry about that simmering quietly in the back of my mind.
Charles is chatting on AOL alot nowadays. That has kept me from the PC when I was in a journaling mood. We really need to become a two PC household.

That' all it is, anyway. Trust us, that isn't anywhere close to being a bad thing. We do have a bit of new information on software, though – it'll surely be running Android 2.3 with HTC Sense on top. The keyboard on this thing is said to feel solid, but we didn't expect anything less from HTC's tried and true design. It's coming, guys. [TmoNews]

Hi folks! I've been very busy re-writing a blog post that will kick-off a series about soups. Meanwhile, I'd like to share this is a GREAT Eat and Beat Cancer blog post. It's about how what you eat — or don't eat — can help defend against cancer. It's ground-breaking information — all in one post. Definitely worth reading and checking out the links !
Enjoy and be healthy!
~ Leni
And after the Eat and Beat Cancer post was reposted here, this post from Peter Attia's Eating Academy caught my attention, and it's definitely worth reading too!
Is the war on cancer now witnessing its own D-Day, a turning point in the anti-cancer fight that will change the world for good?
With the recent settlement of a major lawsuit among scientists over who owns the rights to new revolutionary approaches to managing cancer, all the experts in the field are presumably now free to talk openly—and what they're talking about is a radical new view of the disease.

May 5, 2016
A red tide outbreak that began last month in southwest Florida has made its way completely across the state's Gulf Coast to the western end of the Panhandle.
Fish kills and respiratory problems for humans have been reported at Pensacola Beach, a barrier island community. The reports are telltale signs of the toxic algae.
Pensacola Beach water safety supervisor David Greenwood says he felt the effects when he waded into the Gulf of Mexico on Sunday.
Shelley Alexander is the aquatic preserve manager for the Florida Department of Environmental Protection. She says this is the first significant red tide outbreak in the Pensacola area since 1998.
She says testing will continue this week to monitor the bloom.
The red tide first showed up at Panama City Beach two weeks ago and last week it had moved westward through Walton County. The latest reports now put it all the way to the Alabama-Florida state line

During your career you've heard or read lots of advice on networking. And chances are you've picked up a subtle, underlying message: More is better. Why else would you have left the last conference you attended with a briefcase full of business cards? Oh, you haven't reached out to any of those folks yet (or they to you), but you "networked" and that's what matters. And your online networking efforts are even more fruitful—you've got hundreds of LinkedIn connections just waiting to be cultivated.
Andrew Sobel says this superficial view of networking just doesn't, well, work.
"If you really want relationships that matter, stop aimlessly collecting business cards," says Sobel, coauthor along with Jerold Panas of Power Relationships: 26 Irrefutable Laws for Building Extraordinary Relationships and the accompanying workbook, Power Relationships Personal Planning Guide. "There is a big difference between 'networking' and actually building a network of deep, loyal relationships.
"Unless you're a nightclub promoter, calling, texting, and 'Linking In' with dozens of people every day isn't going to help your career," he adds. "Neither is doing favors just to create 'reciprocity'—so that people will owe you. In this age of social media, we've come to confuse quantity for quality. But supernetworkers understand that all contacts are not equal in terms of their career impact."
Sobel says supernetworkers segment—explicitly or intuitively—their network into these two pieces: the "critical few" and the many. And they adopt totally different tactics to stay in touch and manage them.
"My own research shows that in your professional career, there are about 20-25 relationships that will become your critical few," he says. "These are also the relationships where you, in turn, can make an indelible impact."
Sobel and Panas explain how to connect at the top and build deep, trusted relationships with key influencers.
Read on for more advice from Sobel on how to become a supernetworker and build lasting relationships:
Know who your "critical few" are and cultivate them. Sobel advises clients to make a careful list of who they think should be their critical few and to build a regular staying-in-touch program for each of them.
"In my interviews with highly successful professionals who were at the end of their careers, I discovered that most of them actually knew very early on who made up their inner circle—those 20-25 key individuals who were going to really power their career and on whom they would also have a major impact," he explains.
Build your network before you need it. Petri Byrd is the bailiff on Judge Judy Sheindlin's family court TV show. Judge Judy isn't any old show—it's the most popular daytime TV program in the United States. One might assume Byrd got his coveted job because of his acting skills and training. But according to Sobel, who met him on a flight to Los Angeles a few years back, the real reason is because he followed this essential law.
"Turns out Petri had never acted in his life," says Sobel. "He worked with Judge Judy—as a bailiff—in Brooklyn family court in the 1990s. When he moved to L.A., he heard she was starting a TV show and called her up. She hired him immediately. Petri had developed and maintained his relationship with Judge Judy years earlier—he built his network before he needed it. By doing so, he overcame what most would see as a huge disadvantage in getting a TV role.
"You have to invest in other people before you ask them for anything," adds Sobel. "Otherwise, you'll be seen as a freeloader. Cultivate your relationships over time, the same way you would tend a garden. Then, when you do need help, you'll find the people around you eager to lend a helping hand."

New signing Lukas Podolski believes Arsenal can win the EPL and become English champions if they continue to perform as they did against Liverpool last weekend. Podolski, who joined Arsenal from FC Koln in the summer, opened his Arsenal goal account against Liverpool. The Germany international says he expected criticism after Arsenal failed to score in their first two matches, but insists the club can be one of the teams fighting for the title come the end of the season and even win it.
Podolski said, "The Premier League is very hard to win. It is not like Spain, where only Real Madrid and Barcelona fight for La Liga. In the Premier League, you have five or six teams who want the title. We are one of those and must fight for it. We have 35 matches more and must play in all of them like we did at Liverpool. When you have played teams like Sunderland and Stoke and not picked up three points in either game, you have to expect headlines saying you're no good. It is what I have been used to, no matter whether I'm playing for Koln, Munich or Arsenal. If you don't win the matches you have to expect there will be a negative atmosphere. We are a big club and we want to win every game. From the first two matches we only picked up one point each game, which was not good enough. But if we play like we did at Liverpool, then we will fight for the title."
The forward also believes that Arsene Wenger is the right man for the club and that he will guide the team to success this campaign, despite the loss of last season's top goalscorer Robin van Persie.
"I've had a lot of managers, I think 10 of them. But Arsene Wenger is a great coach, one of the best in the world. Before I came, I spoke to him about the style of the club, the football he wants us to play. Our first goal showed what I mean – good passing, running, keeping the ball and then scoring the goal. This style of Arsenal is my style. I like this. We are a team that likes to pass the ball, playing one or two touches. But to win in the Premier League you must also be prepared to fight and to run. We did this well. I have been asked to play on the left, but you can see that I am free to leave that position and play inside. I don't just have to play wide, I can go in the middle to link up with Abou or Santi. With Santi, in training, I've loved the way it has gone. All the time we work on this, one and two touches. You could see that for our goals at Liverpool. He passed to me for the first one, and then I gave the assist to him for the second. But we have only played three matches and must keep on improving."
With Podolski playing well the Gunners are sure to rack up bags of goals this season. If he and Cazorla continue to find each other and link up play together as they did against Liverpool, they'll be sure to shred any teams defensive line. After the international break, the next on the chopping block will be Southampton and I for one can't wait to see the German International in action again.

3 Responses to "Podolski – Arsenal's style is MY style"
A very goos atitude from Podoski, but what is getting me worried is the fact that Southampton has played with the two Manchester clubs, and what makes the two games similar is the fact that the two scores ended 3-2. ironically these are the two stronger oppositions we have on the EPL at the moment. Now coming back home,we have played 3 games and havent concieved any goal yet. Can this continue with Southampton? We need to continue our clean sheet even with them.
We i can assure you that they aren't gonna get behind the defence, thats for DAMN sure
welldone podolski,keep it up,bt wots gonna happen at southampton,am worried coz ther are proving stubborn this season than last.

A Primer for the Coastal Elite: What Do The Tea Party Folks Want?
Those who watched and mocked the national Tea Parties back in April would find a different bunch of tea partiers today. The truly lunatic fringe of opportunists is now largely gone. But owing to the froth kicked up months ago, the movement's name, "Tea Party," still has currency and momentum, so why not use it? It's a branding conundrum the United Negro College Fund surely appreciates. A day after one of North Dakota's largest-ever tea parties, at the courthouse in Grand Forks, the only thing I can say with certainty about the movement is that it's mostly about making funny signs and producing lots of unintentional irony. And anger. Plentiful, seething, soul-rooted and only vaguely-focused anger. And maybe racism. But not really that much racism!
Far, far less racism than in April. (And far less than found at many of the tea party website message boards.) During the entire two hour evening event, featuring dozens of everyman speakers and dozens more signs, only one guy mentioned Barack Obama's illegitimate birth and that he's Muslim. And that was only in passing on his way to a point about something, I forget. Probably "socialism."
So, you people of the coasts: what do they want? They want Washington to "listen." They want to not be "treated like sheep." They want better education (maybe). They want Ronald Reagan bon mots. They want jokes about moving D.C. to North Dakota because the cold would "force politicians to keep their hands in their own pockets." They want to sing God Bless America. They want, in one speaker's words, "to take it back for the United States Constitution for liberty." They want, more than anything, lower taxes.
This last item is where the irony begins, because North Dakota is one of the greatest of all federal welfare states. It receives over two dollars back for every one paid in taxes. If anyone has reason to complain, it's the Minnesotans, who get back only around seventy cents for every one of their tax dollars. Minnesota, by the way, is only about a quarter mile away from this particular tea party.
North Dakota is home to protectionist policies ranging from agriculture co-ops to state-run insurance to a law demanding that all pharmacies be locally owned (banning the only advantage of a Wal-Mart: cheap drugs). There is the state-run Bank of North Dakota, which in a year that saw private banks taking federal bailouts, returned $30 million to the state's general fund. More importantly, these state organizations operate in competition with private business, a fact that keeps everyone honest and is a system that, while quite successful and popular here, is clearly going to destroy America if partly implemented on any national scale, such as with health care.
So this "Anti Tax Tea Party" is a bit like a grunged-up trust fund kid begging for change on the street-at the Mexican border crossing.

text: How Quora became the hottest website of the year Quora 02 March 11 by Neal Pollack This article was taken from the April 2011 issue of Wired magazine. Be the first to read Wired's articles in print before they're posted online, and get your hands on loads of additional content by subscribing online.Q: How did a knowledge database become the hottest website of the year? A: By having Dennis Crowley, Daniel Ek and Craig Newmark as its contributors.On January 20 this year, Google announced that Larry Page would be replacing Eric Schmidt as CEO. It was the week's big tech story, possibly one of the biggest of the year, and it needed explanation. Within the hour, a user had put the question to the information-sharing website Quora: "What are some possible reasons that Google replaced Eric Schmidt with Larry Page as CEO?"Minutes later, a former Google employee posted a detailed answer that included: "This has been a long time coming and not really that big a leap to make if you've been on the inside... This is a matter of pride and legacy for him [Page], so he's going to keep Google's long-term interests in mind in a way that few outside CEOs would be able to do; he's emotionally invested in a way that only he and Sergey [Brin] can be."Not all the responses were so boosterish. "If you want to be competitive with Facebook," one answer posited, "it is better for your organisation to be run by someone who thinks like [Facebook's] Mark Zuckerberg instead of someone who thinks like Mark Zuckerberg's uncle." A response from Venkatesh Rao, a tech insider, suggested that in the past few years Google had succumbed to "hubris" and an irrational over-faith in data crunching and information organising. He wrote: "Google is like the geeky kid who's far too logical for his/her own good. To succeed at social, you have to be illogical, insane and delusional in clever ways."But Quora itself flies in the face of that assumption. The site may be less than a year old, but it's already occupying rare mental real estate at the front of Silicon Valley's consciousness. Compared with other social-based startups that have succeeded because they understood the infinite distractibility of crowds, Quora operates under a more logical premise: people need answers to questions, intelligently stated, from sources they can trust.Jaws dropped in October when Netflix CEO Reed Hastings stopped by Quora to say his company spends between $500 million and $600 million a year on postage. It was the third question he'd answered that week. On January 4, Twitter cofounder Evan Williams gave a detailed answer to "What is the process involved in launching a startup at SXSW?" Ten days later, Steve Case, former chairman and CEO of AOL, gave an essay-length answer to "What factors led to the bursting of the internet bubble in the late 90s?" That followed several answers he'd given about the failure of his company, including one written two weeks earlier where he stated: "As Edison noted a century ago, vision without execution is hallucination. That, sadly, is the AOL/ Time Warner merger in a nutshell."With its formula of insider information swirling in an intelligent, curated, elegantly designed environment that also contains a strong social-networking component, Quora represents the fever dream of the contemporary thinking person's web. If you want to know what Facebook cofounder Dustin Moskovitz thinks of The Social Network, just ask, and Moskovitz will respond. If you want to know why Andreessen Horowitz invested in Instagram, pose the question, and you'll get an answer from the investor, and also the company's CEO, within days, if not hours. If you want to know why Jonathan Abrams lost control of Friendster, Abrams has plenty of time now to answer back on Quora. At times, the site seems like the ultimate tech-industry water cooler, or the world's most awesome conference call."It doesn't feel like Yahoo! Answers or WikiAnswers -- it feels like Silicon Valley Answers," says internet entrepreneur and blogger Jason Calacanis. "I think that's their big innovation: you don't see anything you wouldn't be interested in."Others go further, talking about Quora as a culturally transformative technology, which suggests its own question: why?The company's main office occupies about 110m2 on the second storey of a block-length mission-style building in downtown Palo Alto, California, though there are also unadorned meeting rooms on an upper floor. It looks and smells like a hall of residence, or a bachelor pad, or, at the very least, a lived-in university computer lab: all industrial-grade carpet, bikes against the walls and cartons of marginally healthy foodstuffs A box of baking soda on the window doesn't come close to counteracting the olfactory effects of exposed gym shoes and bedroom slippers. Decorations are minimal, brought in by the company's 16 employees, almost all of whom are under 30 years old, to put next to their computer workstations: stuffed pandas, Uglydolls, the board game Risk and various sports banners. The walls bear movie posters for Hackers ("Their crime is curiosity") and Jet Li's Fearless, but most of the wall space is taken up by flow charts, equations and to-do lists. It's a room for a dedicated cadre of brilliant geeks carefully performing no-nonsense, grind-it-out programming work. There's no table football or other signs of frivolity. If Quora is an exemplar of the latest Silicon Valley boom, then this boom is hardly being typified by wretched excess.By the window, an HD TV, wall-mounted on its side, shows currently active users, a Twitter feed that mentions Quora, and new questions: "What are the most interesting stealth startups in Israel?" "What's the next big innovation in web interface design?" "What are some ways to inspire girls to embrace technology?" A poster-sized photo of Quorra, the smoking-hot character played by Olivia Wilde in Tron: Legacy, sits off to the side of the water cooler. It's been a busy month in Quora-land. No one has had the time to hang it up yet. Quora sprang from the minds of Adam D'Angelo and Charlie Cheever, two young IT geniuses who met, like so many industry up-and-comers, working at Facebook. D'Angelo started there out of Caltech in 2006, and later was part of a team that hired Cheever away from Amazon. But they dreamt of making their own mark. D'Angelo says the company started with "a high-level idea" that "there's all this knowledge that's not on the internet and is either in people's heads, or scattered and not very well organised. We definitely saw a gap. We're trying to have a fresh start at looking at how we can get information on to the internet. What's the ideal system for that? How can we enable that?"

Here's a clever name for an exhibition of tree houses: "Out On A Limb: Architects Take A Bough."
The Berkshire Botanical Garden in Stockbridge, Mass., is opening the exhibition of six tree houses on May 1 -- and they sound like just the sorts of places where Swiss Family Robinson would have felt at home.
The tree house created by architect Robyn Sandberg, at left, is about 70,000 times smaller than her most recent architectural project, a 2.5 million-square-foot skyscraper in New York City. Reportedly inspired by a mockingbird that painstakingly built a nest on her 17th-floor terrace, Sandberg's tree house is made of wood, madake bamboo, rope, plywood and steel "bird's nest."
Sharon-based interior and garden designer Michael Trapp, who owns Michael Trapp Antiques in West Cornwall, fashioned a treehouse reminiscent of a Colonial out-building, with peaked tin roof and large windows, using unusual salvaged materials.
Other tree houses in the exhibition were inspired by city rooftop water towers (Mark Smith and Tim Smith of 9 Partners Design in Lenox, Mass.); Japanese lanterns (graphic designers Joseph Cho and Stefanie Lew of binocular design in New York); childhood fantasies of medieval fortresses and treetop hideaways (architects Gray Davis and Will Meyer of Meyer Davis Studio in New York City); and classic father/son building projects elevated with seasoned craftsmanship (designer and builder James Odegaard of Odegaard Woodwork in Ashley Falls, Mass.).
The exhibition runs through Labor Day. There's an opening reception April 30 from 5:30 to 7 p.m. (tickets are $25).
