WASHINGTON (WUSA/AP) -- Cari Myrha's daughter Sabrina was just nine months old when her crib came apart.
"She was clinging to the crib sheet kicking her legs and screaming bloody murder," Myrha says.
Sabrina was not injured, but 27 other children were after they fell or got caught in their fixed or drop side cribs.
"The drop side can disengage, create a gap where the baby can fall and get entrapped, says CPSC spokesperson Nychelle Fleming.
Her crib is now part of a massive voluntary recall to repair 2.2 million beds that are made by some of the biggest names in the business, names like Evenflo, Delta Enterprises Corp., Child Craft, Jardine Enterprises, LaJobi, Million Dollar Baby and Simmons Juvenile Products Inc.
"The safest place for your baby should be in a crib, and you wanna make sure that there are no hazards associated with it, says Fleming.
The cribs were sold between 2000 and 2009, most of them involved drop down sides. But there is a fix.
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission's Fleming says you place a guard, "directly over the top, and you'll hear that click."
You'll need to reach out to the manufacturer to get a free repair kid that immobilizes the drop side.
Experts at Great Beginnings Baby Store offer some advice for parents looking for a new crib.
"Pick out a harder wood, birch, maple oak, ash, it holds up good over a period of time," says Joe Cluen.
And, before you buy a crib give it a shake.
Cluen says, "If the whole crib moves, that's a good indication that it's a very, very stable crib."
The CPSC is working on new mandatory standards that would ban drop side cribs, and require them to have stronger wood, hardware and other supports.
Cari Myrha hopes those new standards keep other children safe.
She says, "A lot of them don't know they have this potential hazard in their home. I didn't."
Drop-sides have increasingly come under scrutiny, with several warnings from the CPSC in the last year that the cribs can be deadly.
CPSC Chairman Inez Tenenbaum said, "Most of these recalled cribs have dangerous drop-sides, while the Delta crib can pose a danger to babies if the mattress support is installed incorrectly."
The recalls involved about:
Drop-sides have been blamed in the deaths of at least 32 infants and toddlers since 2000. The cribs are suspected in another 14 infant fatalities during that time.
Congress is also concerned about the cribs. Legislation has been introduced by Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, D-N.Y., to outlaw the sale and manufacture of drop-sides. A similar bill has been introduced in the House by Democratic Rep. Joe Crowley, also of New York.
Drop-side cribs have been around for decades, but consumer advocates say they are not as sturdy as those of the past.
Older cribs had metal rods that guided the drop-side up and down. Many newer cribs have plastic tracking guides for the drop-side that critics say are more prone to breaking.
The Juvenile Products Manufacturers Association, which represents over 90 percent of the crib industry, urges parents not to use cribs with loose or missing parts.
It also says consumers should not use a crib that is older than 10 years because it may not comply with current standards.

|Start those beards, plan 125th costumes
|Written by Holyoke Enterprise
Holyoke's 125th birthday celebration plans are gearing up and solidifying for a fun time.
Residents should mark their calendars for the extended celebration Friday evening and all day Saturday, June 14-15, in conjunction with the always-popular Dandelion Daze Car Show.
Additionally, a smaller recognition time will be observed on Holyoke's actual birthday, Wednesday, April 24. A melodrama and short evening program will kick off the city's 125th-year celebration that day.
A beard contest and vintage clothing contest will be judged at 2 p.m. Saturday, June 15. The overall beard contest winner and one man and one woman winning top prizes in the clothing contest will earn the honor of serving as grand marshals of the 3:30 p.m. quasquicentennial parade.
Beard awards will be given for the longest, best-groomed and scroungiest, so gentlemen, start those beards!
Vintage-era costumes will be a fun touch to the celebration, similar to the clothing seen at Holyoke's centennial events 25 years ago.
Dandelion Daze is always a fun car show on the courthouse lawn, and the parade this year will include floats from the various decades within the 125 years of Holyoke's existence.
Flags will fly downtown on both Wednesday, April 24, as well as the June 15 celebration. If any business has its centennial-year flag, it is encouraged that those be flown.
Friday, June 14 will kick off the summer celebration with an evening pie and ice cream social, including musical entertainment.
Saturday's events start with a pancake breakfast from 7-9 a.m. and continue all day through a 7:30-10 p.m. old-time barn dance.
Full schedules are available by contacting the City office at 854-2266 or Holyoke Chamber of Commerce at 854-3517.

Homeowners have surveillance video, which shows at least one teen lobbing explosives.
"It just sounds like a handgun," homeowner Becky Bentley said. She first heard that sound on Dec. 19 and then early Friday morning. She worries it could happen again, and that someone could get hurt.
"This is dangerous enough," Bentley said. "But they might, you know, read about something else that might sound interesting to 'em and, and go to that level and it could cause even more problems, more damage."
She said she has no idea who the teens are or why they would target her cul-de-sac on Gainesway Drive.
Her children are grown and do not recognize the teens, and she now hopes someone can help identify them.
Investigators hope so, too. They said the explosives, which are made from household ingredients, contain dangerous chemicals.
"These can get in someone's eyes, get on their skin, cause some irritation," Lt. Dean Hensley, Harris County Fire Marshal's Office, said. "Sometimes if these things are big enough they can actually cause some bodily harm to somebody."
The consequences of detonating them can be serious, too. Those seen in the video could face felony charges.
Crime Stoppers is involved and a reward of up to $5,000 could be paid for information which leads to an arrest.

Given it's roughly the same extent as Canada, I'd suggest taking a map of Canada in a Canada specific projection and using that as a template.

Petition to EPA for the Addition of Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, North Carolina, Ohio, Tennessee, Virginia and West Virginia to the Ozone Transport Region
Nine Northeast and Mid-Atlantic States have petitioned the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to require upwind states to reduce air pollution generated within their borders, which causes asthma attacks, respiratory disease, and other public health problems downwind.
The multi-state action is aimed at requiring nine upwind states Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, North Carolina, Ohio, Tennessee, Virginia, and West Virginia to be a good neighbor by reducing air pollution emissions that are carried by prevailing winds and contribute to the formation of ozone to the north and east. The petition seeks long-overdue commitments from the upwind states to protect the health of downwind residents and to level the playing field for businesses.
The petition asks EPA to require the nine upwind states to join in what is known as the Ozone Transport Region (OTR). Under the federal Clean Air Act, states added to the OTR would have to take actions to limit air pollution consistent with the efforts of the downwind states through the use of readily available control technologies and reliance on cleaner fuels to generate power.
States who filed the petition on December 9, 2013 all current members of the OTR are: Connecticut, Delaware, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New York, Rhode Island, and Vermont. Pennsylvania joined the petition on December 10, 2013.
Under Section 176A of the federal Clean Air Act, states can petition the EPA to add any state to an air quality region such as the OTR if there is reason to believe it is the source of pollution-causing violations of air quality standards elsewhere. The EPA Administrator is required to approve or disapprove such a petition within 18 months.

Cork Stopper - Kreis Magic
Item Number: TA1908
The magician wraps a cork with a bill, and fixes it using a rubber band. The bill is rolled up like a tube, and the space inside is divided by the cork into the upper space and the lower space. The magician puts four coins into the upper space of the tube. The coins, one by one, are dropped to the table, penetrating the cork. For the last coin, the magician puts it into his pocket, but it appears from the tube. Everything is examinable after the effect.

General comments
Summary of discussion at Annual 2012:
Tracey Snyder summarized the reasons for the proposal regarding librettos, which are outlined in the proposal. In situations where the author of the text of a libretto and the composer of the music are the same person (e.g., operas of Richard Wagner), application of the instruction at RDA 184.108.40.206 would result in a variant access point for a libretto that would be identical to the authorized access point for the libretto (except for punctuation).
Maxwell pointed out that the variant access point is not a core element. Glennan replied that such access points are very important and a common way to access librettos within music collections.
Glennan noted that MLA is trying to find a way to appropriately deal with: a complete opera, with music and text; a libretto alone; and an opera without text -- all by the same person. The goal is to find a solution that is easy enough for catalogers to apply and for patrons to understand.
The MLA proposal includes an alternative: to modify the instruction at RDA 220.127.116.11 so that a variant access point for a libretto would not be created if it is practically identical to the authorized access point for the libretto.
MLA needs to know whether CC:DA would prefer to go with the approach in the alternative rather than in the current text of the proposal. -- Robare, 7/2/2012
E-mail discussion, pre-Annual 2012:
RDA, following FRBR, recognizes aggregate works: "the term work should be read to include aggregate works …" RDA 5.1.2.
22.214.171.124 is a guideline for an aggregate work composed of two works, the music and the text. When creating an authorized access point for this aggregate work we are instructed to begin the access point with the authorized form of the composer, followed by the preferred title for the work. In RDA is is also possible to create authorized access points for the individual works within any aggregate work, including a musical aggregate work such as the kind dealt with in 18.104.22.168. But 184.108.40.206 is not dealing with the authorized access points for individual works, but for an aggregate work.
The authorized access point for the aggregate work Lohengrin under current 126.96.36.199 would be
Wagner, Richard, 1813-1883. Lohengrin
unless this form conflicts with the authorized access point for another work. In this case, it does, since there are three works involved here, all with the same creator (Wagner) and the same preferred title (Lohengrin): (1) the aggregate work containing both the music and the text; (2) the music alone; and (3) the text alone. As the MLA proposal points out, this does require qualifiers because that's how we distinguish conflicting authorized access points. The most logical one for the aggregate is probably "(Opera)"; that for the text "(Libretto)"; and that for the music probably something like "(Music)"
Wagner, Richard, 1813-1883. Lohengrin (Libretto)
Wagner, Richard, 1813-1883. Lohengrin (Music)
Wagner, Richard, 1813-1883. Lohengrin (Opera)
Probably "Opera" doesn't actually distinguish between the three, however, because they're all, in a sense, the opera, so perhaps something like this:
Wagner, Richard, 1813-1883. Lohengrin (Opera)
Wagner, Richard, 1813-1883. Lohengrin (Opera : Libretto)
Wagner, Richard, 1813-1883. Lohengrin (Opera : Music)
This probably looks complex, but the bibliographic universe is complex and the fact is we are dealing with three separate works here. I don't see a sound theoretical reason for declaring that text and music are separate works if they're by different creators but are not separate works if they both happen to be by the same creator. Does it make a difference if I compose the music at the same time as I write the text? What if I wrote a epic poem when I was 15 and set it to music when I was 45? Does the poem simply become an appendage to the authorized access point for the music (as a component part of the opera) or does it have an authorized access point in its own right?
Maxwell, Robert L. Poetic history of the universe — the authorized access point for the original poem; now years later I set it to music, the opera having the same title …
Maxwell, Robert L. Poetic history of the universe — at this point we have three works with the same title (the aggregate, the poem, the music). What do I do? They need to be qualified. I would be inclined to qualify them in this way:
Maxwell, Robert L. Poetic history of the universe (Epic poem)
Maxwell, Robert L. Poetic history of the universe (Opera)
Maxwell, Robert L. Poetic history of the universe (Music)
MLA's proposal, I believe, would instead relegate my original poem to an appendage to (i.e. a component part of) the authorized access point for the aggregate work, which would not in this exceptional case considered to be an aggregate work:
Maxwell, Robert L. Poetic history of the universe. Libretto
126.96.36.199 is based on what I believe to be a correct assumption that the text is a separate work from the music. The identity of the creator(s) of these two works doesn't make a difference to the nature of these works and the relationship between them. In my opinion MLA's proposal muddies the logic of what's going on in RDA 126.96.36.199 by creating a new class of work, that is, aggregate works that are declared not to be aggregate works because the two components are by the same creator. I think this does the opposite of simplifying, by introducing an exception into RDA's fairly clear guideline.
It also muddies 220.127.116.11 by introducing a guideline for a non-aggregate work into a guideline meant to cover aggregate works.
As written, by the way, the MLA proposal does not give guidance for what to do if you have just the music. It only gives a provision for what to do if you need an access point for the text alone, but the music might also be published separately, without the text.
Robert L. Maxwell (SAC liaison) 12 June 2012
Thanks for your comments, Bob. I gathered some feedback from some other MLA folks. We agree with you on most points.
We agree that musical works with texts are aggregate works, and that the fact that music and text are created by the same person is not enough to NOT treat the work as an aggregate work. Your fictional example of a musical work using a pre-existing text illustrates this well. (One could argue that works whose music and texts are created by the same person, more or less at the same time, are not aggregate works, but these are probably more the exception than the rule.)
We agree that we would need different access points for the opera and for the libretto, and that qualifiers would be needed to distinguish works with the same preferred title (such as Lohengrin). However, we disagree that an access point would be needed for the music alone, or that the music without the text constitutes a separate work that we need to take into account when determining if a conflict exists. So far, the practice has been to treat music published or performed without or with added systemic parts (such as music without its text) as an expression of the work, and not as a different work. Changing this approach would affect more than just musical works (texts with illustrations, for example, published either as the textual work alone or as the textual work published with the illustrations).
We agree that formulating an access point for a Wagner libretto using a period (and $s in MARC) is not advisable, in part because an access point with "$s Libretto" resembles an expression access point. As far as logical consistency, it would seem that we would need to treat Wagner libretto access points as work access points.
We recognize that a motivator behind this proposal is the desire to not have to retrospectively qualify existing access points for operas with "(Opera)". One respondent asks if this could be accomplished via a best practice guideline/exception. That is, do not retrospectively qualify operas with "(Opera)" but DO qualify libretti with "(Libretto)". For newly created access points, qualify both as needed. The end result (breaking the conflict) is the same, even absent the parallelism of parentheticals on both access points. As for myself, I wondered if this would be a worthwhile batch process, to bring existing authorized access points in authority records and bibliographic access points of this type into alignment with RDA. Or would it be too huge a project/too difficult to exhaustively identify other examples besides Wagner operas/librettos?
Based on Bob's comments and the reactions of those of us from MLA reading Bob's comments, does it seem like the alternative action in the proposal is the way forward?
Looking forward to further discussion!
Tracey Snyder, MusLA liaison to CC:DA
June 15, 2012
I agree with the alternative approach from p. 7 of the proposal (revise the instruction at 184.108.40.206 so that a variant access point that is nearly identical to the authorized access point is not made in cases where that might happen).

Turkey-Cranberry Focaccia Sandwich
From the kitchen of Madeline Prahl
One round loaf of focaccia – bake it, buy it, 'flavors' are good!
Swiss cheese, sliced
deli turkey, sliced
crisp bacon strips
sweet onion, sliced thin
tomatoes, sliced
cranberry mustard
Slice focaccia (to make a large bun).
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Split the layers, and warm side by side on a baking sheet, 10- 15 minutes.
Immediately, arrange cheese slices over bottom ½ of warm bread.
Add turkey, bacon, tomato, and onion.
Generously spread 'top' ½ of bread with cranberry mustard.
Pop on the top, and cut into wedges and ENJOY!
Terri's Notes:
~ Madeline bakes her own Rosemary Focaccia. You can make your own or buy it - rosemary or any herb flavor, asiago cheese was good…experiment.
~ Pre-cooked bacon (purchased on sale), crisped in the micro-wave is perfect for this sandwich.
~ Not a Swiss fan? I liked muenster. You can get creative!

Andy Roddick came this close to defeating Roger Federer again.
In front of an electrified, raucous crowd the American baller suffered his 17th loss to the Swiss stylist falling 6-3, 4-6, 6-4 in a thrilling Miami quarterfinal match. A-Rod gained his second career win over the 13-time Grand Slammer at the same point in last year's Sony Ericsson Open.
A-Rod managed to stay close throughout the entire match but fell victim to a few unfortunately timed let cords that fell Fed's way (on a third set break point against the Swiss and one to set up match point) and his own questionable decision-making.
RIDDLE ME THIS: Why did A-Rod constantly approach to Fed's ferocious forehand only to get passed time and time and time again? Does he heart embarrassment or was it simply his own insanity??
It was like being on auto-pilot and knowing you're about to crash. Jesus, take the wheel.

Really high quality match. And yeah that Joey Porter guy was hilarious.ReplyDelete
I'm just happy that Stefanki took his hat off for me. That was the same hair I saw when I clocked him in the hotel.ReplyDelete
If you had acted the way Porter did, you would have been reprimanded by security, and thrown out if you didn't stop. Porter gets away with it because he's *somebody*. Men who get that angry usually take it out on women.
I didn't think it was funny. I thought it was really sad.
That was the same hair I saw when I clocked him in the hotel.ReplyDelete
clocked as in "groped"? hit and run I assume. that's what Rafa told me anyway.

Rog seemed irritated with the crowd last night - both during the match and then he mentioned it in his on-court interview afterwards. C'mon man, you're in the States and you're playing an American! Hello!! Of course they're going to be cheering for Andy! Get over it!ReplyDelete
As far as the match goes, it was good to see Andy come back and push it to a third set. I thought he was going to crumble like he usually does against Rog, but he did well. Except for all the bad net approaches, like Rich mentioned. Terrible. Like cover-your-eyes terrible.
Forgive my technical ignorance, but how did you get it to do the italics? I'm SO impressed!
Kinda. we both were moving at full force and literally ran into each other rounding a corner. But all the important body parts met. ;)
I thought I told you that? If I didn't, sorry. He apologized, and I said, "Thank you, sir. May I have another?"
Italics, next to adult diapers, are ALL the rage!ReplyDelete
Uh, you can use HTML coding here so for italics put "" at the beginning of the sentence and " at the end. Same for bolding, just put a "b" instead of the "i".
Exactly, no apologies needed for a hit and run. Just a quick "thanks" or whatever spare change he had would suffice.
Thanks, Richie! Now I have to remember to do that italics bit.ReplyDelete
I forgot to ask for spare change, but I did offer him a free nude yoga class... ;) Alright, alright. Srsly, he had the hat off, and I told him I LOVED his hair, and he should show it more often. Then last night, my wish came true! You think he's posting about me on some blog for tennis coaches...??? *dreams*
natch: oh no it didn't come out right! the sentence got italicized!!ReplyDelete
let me figure out a better way - when you use the formatting, even to explain it, it ends up formatting the sentence anyway.

Thanks to Harpy reader heykoukla, who emailed me today on the subject of the British sex-work blogger Belle de Jour, pointing me to a recent post on Belle's blog about the recent Shapely Prose post quoted far and wide, entitled "Schrödinger's Rapist." The SP post is itself worth reading, on the subject of the near-constant low-level awareness of sexual violence women live with. If only I could say the same for Belle's, wherein her general agreement with the SP post is qualified by the following:
If you're reading my blog, then you know I'm a long time, dyed-in-the-wool A-number-1 Fan Of Men.
I'm glad she got that out of the way, though I can't imagine myself saying I'm a Fan of Women because I'm a feminist (it would be absurd, right?), but no matter. Onwards:
Let me state for the record that if being a man was easy, hookers wouldn't exist. Fact.
She gives no support for this statement and I'm not even sure what this means. Is it her contention that men seek the comfort of sex workers to… escape the violence of the outside word? Baffling.
But fear not: her idea is that the problem here really truly is privilege, because otherwise there is, in her view, no basis to the claim that women face a particularly high level of physical danger:
Bottom line, it takes a particular kind of self-consciously middle-class gynecentric view of the world to imagine that the only physical danger men face is in a war zone. As someone who has lived in more than a few dodgy neighbourhoods – because sponging off my parents was categorically Not An Option – and been privy to the secrets and fears of my male friends, I do not think they have it easier than we of the XX-type. Different, yes. Easy, no.
Ooooohkay. You can sort of imagine how it goes from there. But I'm not really interested in doing just an interblogular hit piece today. No, what's interesting to me about this sort of thing is how it dovetails with my general skepticism of feminist discourse surrounding sex work.
Let me emphasize here that I am talking about how "feminism" talks about sex work, not the culture at large. Because let's be clear: in a patriarchy, sex workers don't get bonbons for being sex workers. They get ostracized and degraded as less than human. As a recent reminder of this: "Belle de Jour" is of course a pseudonym, and she recently identified herself in the press. It appears to have been under some duress, though she hasn't said explicitly that she was "forced" to come out.
But once I am safely ensconced in conversations with people who agree that sex workers are entitled to human dignity (a regrettable minority), though, I find it hard to get behind the general sort of "chosen sex work" banner that Belle and her ilk espouse. Not for nothing, but I've never heard the sort of "sex work is a valid choice" argument come from anyone who wasn't young, white, cisgendered and relatively well-educated. That is to say: privileged, and thus relatively able to call on certain defenses when necessary. And I don't understand, and am not sure I ever will, because believe me I have tried, the impulse to insist that this perspective be permitted to enter into a conversation about women's exploitation. In other words: if she isn't being exploited, bully for her, but I am not sure why this is relevant to a discussion, say, of human trafficking. And yet there it always is.
I would catch a lot of hell in the feminist blogosphere for this kind of statement, however, or at least some of the fora I frequent. Because at the end of the day, these people say, if I don't embrace sex work, I am slut shaming those engaged in it.
This confuses me. See, I come back again and again to the same old question: is there a feminist obligation to defend sex work writ large as a practice, or is it merely that feminism demands the defense of sex workers as human beings?
It will come as no surprise to anyone that I fall on the latter side of the fence. While I absolutely would support the "right" scheme for the legalization of sex work – i.e. a scheme designed around the founding principle that humanity does not fly out the window the moment one engages in sex work – it is because I believe the people who engage in sex work deserve the same dignity as anyone, not because I think of sex work as a particularly liberatory practice. Personally, I do not understand how the liberation of women, or anyone else for that matter, can possibly be connected to a practice that contructs their bodies as ones for hire. Yes, I would agree that "sexual purity" is overly personalized and fetishized in this society, and I do not advocate that we start setting out rules for what kinds of consensual sexual behaviour are acceptable. Not only is it offensive to do so, it would be unenforceable anyway.
But: I think if the abortion rights fight has shown us nothing else, it is that the body, in this culture, still matters. What I mean by this is that for all our training in deconstruction and inscriptions, at the end of the day feminism still values the integrity of women's bodies. I really think it is hard to argue that anyone's body ought to be leverage in a negotiation. It simply shouldn't. Call me an idealist, tell me I am using the master's tools. But I cannot look at any person and think to myself: there's something I could rent.
It strikes me that in a world where we were all considered fully human, nothing tied very closely to our bodies would be for rent or sale. You may say that sex is just work, but the connection between my work and my body begins and ends with my fingertips. Sure I use my brain, my legs to walk there, but other than that, it demands very little of me.
Of course we all live in a world that is capitalist, and people have to eat, I agree. I guess I just don't know that feminism can sign up for capitalism quite so easy. As a professor of mine once said in another context, this notion that it's okay to express value in dollar signs turns the world into eBay. And I like eBay for cheap jewelry, I guess, but I don't particularly want to live there.
See, to come back to Belle: I think of her view as a somewhat purely capitalist one. she's just earning a living! It's economically sound! (Paging Levitt and Dubner!) Why are people so uptight about it? The danger is illusory, or at least exaggerated by people who want to keep women's sexual agency in check!
I guess all I have, for that sort of thing, is this: I think your concern is misdirected. If you want to go after the Christian right for wanting to rescue you as "fallen women," I'm on your side. I will defend your right to safety no matter where you are and what you are doing. But I will also continue to consider the people who purchase these services as engaging in an essentially objectionable activity. I will continue to consider the commodification of human beings essential to the continued practice of sex work, and I will lament that commodification. And if that makes me the uncool kid on the playground, so be it.

Presenting the first broad look at the rapidly emerging field of data-intensive science
Increasingly, scientific breakthroughs will be powered by advanced computing capabilities that help researchers manipulate and explore massive datasets.
The speed at which any given scientific discipline advances will depend on how well its researchers collaborate with one another, and with technologists, in areas of eScience such as databases, workflow management, visualization, and cloud computing technologies.
In The Fourth Paradigm: Data-Intensive Scientific Discovery, the collection of essays expands on the vision of pioneering computer scientist Jim Gray for a new, fourth paradigm of discovery based on data-intensive science and offers insights into how it can be fully realized.
Critical praise for The Fourth Paradigm
"The individual essays—and The Fourth Paradigm as a whole—give readers a glimpse of the horizon for 21st-century research and, at their best, a peek at what lies beyond. It's a journey well worth taking."
— James P. Collins

From the back cover
"The impact of Jim Gray's thinking is continuing to get people to think in a new way about how data and software are redefining what it means to do science."
— Bill Gates, Chairman, Microsoft Corporation
"I often tell people working in eScience that they aren't in this field because they are visionaries or super-intelligent—it's because they care about science and they are alive now. It is about technology changing the world, and science taking advantage of it, to do more and do better."
— Rhys Francis, Australian eResearch Infrastructure Council
"One of the greatest challenges for 21st-century science is how we respond to this new era of data-intensive science. This is recognized as a new paradigm beyond experimental and theoretical research and computer simulations of natural phenomena—one that requires new tools, techniques, and ways of working."
— Douglas Kell, University of Manchester
"The contributing authors in this volume have done an extraordinary job of helping to refine an understanding of this new paradigm from a variety of disciplinary perspectives."
— Gordon Bell, Microsoft Research

During a visit to Australia in February 2012 Sir Andrew Witty, then still in his tenure as CEO of GlaxoSmithKline, quoted the Australian industry as an example of how the global industry should modernize itself and win back society's belief in its readiness to change, "whether that is through employment, contribution to savings, or delivery of remarkable medicines."
AstraZeneca, for instance, recently decided to invest USD80 million in its existing Australian production capabilities to provide the Chinese market with its asthma treatment medicine.

One of the great advantages to working with Naot Footwear and their United States distributor, Yaleet Inc., is getting involved with their charitable donations. Every year they partner with their dealers like Zappos.com to give away free shoes. Yes, FREE shoes! Thousands and thousands of free shoes and sandals every year are given to those in need.
Many of these donations take place at homeless shelters across the country. This year (Zappos' 3rd consecutive year), we chose to partner with Shade Tree of Las Vegas, a shelter dedicated to helping women that in some cases are escaping domestic abuse or just need help getting a fresh start. Oftentimes, these women are leaving their living situation with just the clothes are on their back and the shoes on their feet. This simple gesture is kind of like giving a hug through a new pair of shoes.
Zappos.com and the folks at Yaleet Inc. see these donation events as some of the most important and meaningful things that a business can do because of the joy that it brings to those in need.
Check out one of our footwear buyers, Cameron, and Mark, a sales rep for Naot footwear as they load up the Zappos shuttle with this year's batch of donations to Shade Tree:

Donor Profile: The McDonnells
AMES, Iowa- Steve McDonnell ('73 industrial administration) lives in Texas, but that doesn't stop him from seeing as many Iowa State athletic events as he can. The Clinton, Iowa native developed his love of Iowa State athletics during his time in Ames as a college student. He remembers going to basketball games at the Armory and watching Johnny Majors turn the Cyclone football fortunes around on the gridiron at Clyde Williams Field.
After a successful business career, McDonnell and his wife, Patty ('74 LAS), are retired and living in Colleyville, Texas. He makes it to Ames as much as he can, but living in Texas also provides the couple the opportunity to watch a number of road contests.
"I follow all of the Cyclone athletic teams and, living in Texas, I get the chance to see a number of road football, basketball and volleyball games," McDonnell said. "I enjoy being part of the passionate Cyclone fan base. I truly believe that with the leadership we have in the athletic program and the coaches we have in all sports that the future has never been brighter for Cyclone sports."
McDonnell retired in 2008 from Holly Corporation where he was the Chief Financial Officer (CFO) for several years. Steve's retirement has allowed the McDonnells to be more active in philanthropic ventures with their alma mater. The McDonnells are members of the Cyclone Club, Clyde Williams Society, Cyclone Gridiron Club, ISU Alumni Association and the Order of the Knoll. Steve and Patty have also been supportive of the College of Business.
When Iowa State introduced CourtCYd seating at men's basketball games in 2006, the McDonnells jumped at the opportunity to sit down low. They have been CourtCYd seat holders since its inception and are looking forward to watching the Cyclone men's hoops team in action this season.
"We are really excited for men's basketball," McDonnell said. "We hope to get up there for many of the conference games."
This past year, the McDonnells were instrumental in getting the new Iowa State Football Training Center project off the ground. The couple provided a leadership gift in support of the facility, which is currently under construction and scheduled to be completed in the fall of 2012.
"We are excited to be able to recognize Patty and Steve McDonnell for their generous gift to the new Football Training Complex," Iowa State Athletics Director Jamie Pollard said. "Without their leadership gift, we would not have been able to start this important project. Although they live in Texas, they are avid Cyclone fans who enjoy following all the Cyclone athletics teams. They are truly great alums of Iowa State University."

Thanks to DtL reader JD for sending over these fun and very revealing images of Dmitry Tursunov getting somewhat acquainted with a lady friend and her, eh, lady parts in the backseat of a car.
Boy those Russian ballers sure love to party. But does it always have to be with a wannabe pornstar?
PS - Dmitry does look kinda cute here, though. I might've shown him my boobs too...if I had some.

Video: Cobb School Bus Cameras Catching Hundreds Running Stop Signs
COBB COUNTY, Ga. -- Cobb County Police have posted video of an SUV speeding by a student who was crossing the street to catch the bus, while the buses' stop arm was down.
DECEMBER 7, 2012 -- All those new cameras on Cobb County school buses are catching a lot of people who are breaking the law.
And apparently the word is out -- if you drive past a stopped school bus in Cobb, prepare to pay.
Every day, police review a new batch of photos and videos from the cameras which show people driving past the school buses while the buses' flashing stop signs are activated at bus stops, as children are getting on and off the buses.
The violators all get tickets in the mail. First offense: $300.
Since September 1, the new cameras installed on the exterior driver sides of 102 Cobb County school buses have, so far, caught 412 people failing to stop for the flashing stop signs.
"Oh, the [bus] drivers love the cameras," said School Bus Driver Brenda Turner on Thursday afternoon.
Turner said the cameras are not only catching violators -- she said she personally sees people driving through her flashing stop sign about once a day -- but the cameras are acting as a deterrent.
"I've noticed [people] are stopping more than they have in the past. I think now the word is out, so they know they had better stop."
It's all automatic, the cameras turn on as soon as the bus driver activates the flashing stop sign at the school bus stops.
"Once the stop arm is out, this camera is activated," said Cobb Police Lieutenant Hawk Hagebak.
Lt. Hagebak thinks of five-year-old Karla Campos, killed two years ago by a driver who failed to stop as Karla was getting off of her school bus in East Cobb County.
The new camera system, he said, is her legacy.
"Now this camera [system] is like having me standing here protecting the children as they cross the road.... We're doing this to try to prevent tragedies like that."
"So I feel like all of our efforts are paying off," said Rick Grisham of Cobb County schools, "and we want to get to zero [violations], that's our goal."
Grisham said that by next month, 98 additional buses will be outfitted with the cameras, for a total of 200 buses -- 20 percent of the fleet of 1,000 that are on the road every day. And he said he expects to see violations decrease steadily.
Cobb County Schools contracted with a company called American Traffic Solutions to manage the program. ATS supplies the cameras, installs them, reviews the photos and videos of all possible violations, and sends the photos and videos to Lt. Hagebak in Cobb County, whose office then reviews them and decides which drivers to ticket. ATS then sends the tickets.
ATS is receiving, the first year, 75 percent of all fines collected, and the remaining 25 percent is split between Cobb County Schools and Cobb County government.
Lt. Hawk Hagebak, Cobb County Police Dept. Traffic Services Commander:
This system has seven cameras on the driver's side of each bus.... On the front are tag reading cameras, and on the back are tag reading cameras, so it can pick up vehicles going either direction.
With the stop arm out, traffic in both directions has to stop. Except the traffic which is separated by a divided highway, like a median.
When the stop arm is out, you should stop. So once the stop arm is out, this camera is activated, this sensor is activated, looking for any movement to the side. If there's any movement to the side, the other cameras kick on, they read the tags, and they also detect the movement.
Now this camera is like having me standing here protecting the children as they cross the road, next to the bus. That's what this camera does.
We anticipated receiving about 500 violations a day -- with a hundred buses [outfitted with the cameras], anticipating five violations per day was not beyond the realm of possibility. What we're finding is about one violation per day [per bus].
If we catch you [by] using the video, the fine is $300 [$750 for the second violation] and no points.... it doesn't go on your driver's history. But the fine for passing a stopped school bus when caught by a police officer is up to $1,000, and it is six points on your driver's license. It's a very serious violation.
If someone else was driving your car at the time of the violation, "You can send us notice that that vehicle was being driven by someone else, let us know who that is, and we'll be happy to follow up with them" and send them the ticket.
Karla Campos [five years old] was killed just getting off of a school bus in East Cobb back two years ago, and this system, it's, we're doing this to try to prevent tragedies like that.
Rick Grisham, Executive Director of Cobb County School District's Transportation Dept.:
Our Number One goal was to reduce the amount of violations per day, per bus. And so we knew that we had several per day....
It's highly successful. First of all, we're kind of the first in the State of Georgia, much less in the country, that's taken the initiative on this. We saw violations of 1,600 per day two years ago... last year... it reduced to 900... So we've seen our education piece (of the safety campaign) paying off before we began this current program [using the cameras]," and the cameras are further reducing violations dramatically.
People in subdivisions, when they've gotten a ticket, or they've noticed the [camera] box, they remind their neighbors "don't take a chance, just slow down and wait for the bus."
We have 1,200 buses in our fleet, we run roughly 1,000 per day [with 102 of them outfitted with cameras].... We're going to install [cameras on] an additional 98 buses.... By the end of January, we'll have 200 buses [with cameras] on the road in the most, what we consider the most serious routes that need attention, and we'll move these buses around, accordingly.
I get either three to five emails or calls a month, now, since we've been at it, saying, "I'm self-reporting, and did that bus have a camera on it,".... So I feel like all of our efforts are paying off, and we want to get to zero [violations], that's our goal. In a county this large we may never get there, but we had a major reduction in just two years.
We have 93,000 students that can ride a bus on a given day, and we have 44,000 bus stops... That's 88,000 times [a day] a bus is stopping and loading and unloading students, so we're doing everything we can every day to protect our students.
Be patient as motorists.
[American Traffic Solutions is] getting 75 percent of any revenue that comes in, and then we're splitting the remaining 25 percent with Cobb County government. And right now I haven't seen any money, and if we do get revenue and have resources, we're going to use that for education and outreach, we're not in it to make money, we just want to keep continuing getting the word out to quit doing it.
Brenda Turner, Cobb County School Bus Driver:
Oh, the drivers love the cameras.... The cameras do all the work, there are no [camera] buttons for us to push, we just do our normal job, safely getting the children on and off the bus.
I have an occasion [of someone running past the stop sign] at least once a day. Once a day.
We have parents that pass their own school bus, so we need everybody to know when to stop.
I've noticed they are stopping more than they have in the past. I think they have got, now the word is out [about the cameras], so they know they had better stop.

Ferretti 720By Alan Harper
New Direction
Ferretti aims for a wider audience by putting big-yacht features into its smallest "big" model.
Few yachting brands are as instantly recognizable, with those stern, straight-edged windows, the creamy gelcoat, strong horizontals, and cantilevered upper decks. Never a high-volume builder, but always an arbiter of engineering and build quality, Ferretti builds yachts that exude confidence and authority.
All the best brands allow their style to evolve, but with its new 720, Ferretti is doing something more ambitious. This boat seems to have skipped a couple of generations in the evolutionary process. I caught up with the first one in early-season Rapallo, just down the Italian coast from Genoa. It's a resort town with all the classic attributes—grand hotel, mountain backdrop, and a sheltered sweep of sandy bay complete with a picture-postcard castle at one end.
Ferretti's new baby certainly has presence, with that big and apparently seamless saloon window, while the subtle inward curve of the superstructure introduces a sleek and sporty edge to the design. The bold flying-bridge windscreen and long overhang are vintage Ferretti, of course, but on balance you might suspect that the company is targeting new markets with this model. Younger owners, perhaps?
The evidence definitely stacks up. With its gray-brown lacquer, light-toned leathers, and oak joinery, the interior design represents Ferretti at its best—modern, easy on the eye, and put together with real quality. But there's an edge here as well. The dining table is glass and steel—cool in every sense of the word. There can be few less nautical touches than distressed oak floorboards, running athwartships, and apparently the style magazines loved it. No one over 40 reads style mags, surely?
If Ferretti designers are targeting younger customers, they're pushing the right buttons. Another decision they faced was whether to make the 720 the smallest of their big-yacht range or the biggest of the small ones. It's clear which they chose—the question is whether these combined aims are compatible.
Enclosed wheelhouse, discrete galley, crew dinette, athwartships dining table—all these are big-yacht features. But space around the table is tight, and sightlines come to a sudden halt at the galley bulkhead. The crew dinette, just inside the wheelhouse door, is a great feature but separating crew and guests would work better if guests didn't have to pass through the wheelhouse to get to their cabins.
That superstructure tumblehome is also interesting. Clearly designed to sport-ify the exterior, in which it succeeds admirably, the effect it creates inside is a little cramping: The floor is expansive and the windows huge but the main deck doesn't feel especially spacious, and that inward curve is a contributory factor. The effect is even more pronounced when the forward door is closed. Yet the 720 has the longest main deck, transom to windscreen, of any yacht in its class. She just doesn't look it.
Down below, normal service is resumed with a conventional accommodation layout: a superb amidships owner's suite with a big hanging locker, and a bathroom occupying the whole port side, complete with a risqu, see-through shower. The VIP cabin in the bow is less spacious, but practical and comfortable, with headroom a generous 6'7"—slightly more than the master. Of the twin-berth guest cabins, grab the one to port if you can, as you'll share the other one with the underside of the stairs.
Out on deck, the 720 also feels more like a traditional Ferretti. The flying bridge is a tennis court, with a vast sunbathing area forward of the helm, a big table, a bar, and room aft for a PWC and its davit. The optional bimini folds neatly into the radar arch while the main tender is stowed below, on the platform. Side decks are substantial—more than 18 inches wide with tall, handrail-topped bulwarks—while the quality and heft of the deck fittings are well up to the yard's exemplary standards. Access to the crew's quarters is via the cockpit seating. This boat had the optional second crew cabin, bringing the number of berths down here to three.
While I met the 720 before the summer season was in full swing, the weather held fair. Ferretti bade its guests goodbye as we set off for the company base at La Spezia, about 40 miles down the coast, past some of the most interesting scenery in the Med: the five villages of the Cinque Terre, clinging to their steep hillsides over the sea. The 720 posted respectable acceleration times from a standing start: 25 knots in just over 30 seconds is fine for a motoryacht that tips the scales at around 50 tons in cruising trim.
Equally fine was the 720's handling, which gets an electronic assist in the form of a ZF SteerCommand system that imparts feel as well as self-centering, like a car. More importantly, it controls the rudders independently and so ensures the correct correlation between rudder angle and hull velocity. Straight-line speed has never been an issue with Ferrettis, but crisp, sporty handling has not generally been its boats' strongest suit. With this system, its boats can look rivals in the eye.
In pure engineering, though, Ferretti has always shown the way. The 720's engine room is big—bigger than the owner's suite, which is saying something—and there is room inside for all the noisy ancillaries: gensets, pumps, watermakers, and air-conditioning, with the huge fuel tanks mounted across the forward bulkhead to provide further insulation between hard metal and soft furnishings. The layout here has been designed to make removing the engines as straightforward as possible.
As the Cinque Terre villages slipped by on the port side, gazing down from their lofty perches against a cloud-flecked sky, a lightly corrugated sea gave the 720's hull little to think about. At the clifftop church of San Pietro we turned east into the Gulf of La Spezia. In flatter water the GPS showed over 34 knots (39 mph) on a two-way average—loaded as we were, no mean speed—and we turned for home.
Ferretti is not a high-volume builder, but it has always built high-volume boats. The 720 is purely that—a glance around the engine room tells you so. But it doesn't feel big either. Some might say that squeezing a big-yacht interior into a sporty flying-bridge cruiser was always going to be a risky strategy. But is it risky or bold? Time will tell.

Suggestions? Also, about 10 years a go I found a book from two brothers (I think) that showed all the public hunting spots in Colorado, where to park, where to camp, and good spots, etc. Anyone still have a copy? Mine was destroyed by a basement flood several years ago... :-( Anyone remember it? Where i can re-order it????

ATLANTA -- The security camera video, revealing thieves looting luggage at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, tells a startling story. Looted luggage lying in a field across from the airport, drives the point home!
"You haven't even seen all the stuff over here in the woods," Lea McCombs said as she walked us over to the bags, flung wide open, their contents spilling out.
RELATED | Sign Our Atlanta Airport Security Petition
It was the second time, in three days, that she had found stolen luggage from Delta airlines flights, left behind the place where she works.
She said she called College Park Police. However, she said they told her it wasn't their jurisdiction and that she should contact the passengers, whose names were on the bags.
RELATED | Looting your luggage; thieves may know loopholes
On Friday, Oct. 26, Delta retrieved two bags. On Monday, Oct. 29, four more were found in the same place just off Roosevelt Road near the airport. Delta was called again. Lea said she got frustrated by Delta's slow response, so she called 11Alive.
We came out. While we were there, one traveler came to pick up all that was left from his carry-on bag.
"Well he actually left my laptop, he kept my camera, kept my Blackberry," said the man, who did not want to be identified.
Lea found him by calling the number on business cards that were scattered around in the field.
Now, she wanted something done with the other bags that were left behind. We contacted all the passengers, whose names were on the bags.
David Noren, of Dunwoody, who flew in on a flight from Vegas on Saturday Oct. 27, wanted us to deliver his missing bag.
"See your bag there?" we asked when we showed up.
"Yup," he said, as he reached into the van and grabbed it. "So, I got a call from Delta. They actually didn't say anything about it being stolen or lost. They just said, 'We apologize'."
We turned over all of the other bags to Atlanta Police, at the airport.
Some bags had priority tags on them. One even had Delta's prestigious Delta Diamond Medallion tag attached. It didn't make a difference. Thieves were able to take them too.
Delta would not give us an on-camera interview to talk about our recent investigation into thefts at their baggage carousels. Instead, the company spokesperson, Morgan Durrant, sent us the following statement:
Delta is disheartened by the discovery of what appears to be stolen bags in a vacant lot. Theft in any form is unacceptable and Delta is investigating the incident in cooperation with law enforcement. We will work with our customers on a case by case basis to make this right and certainly apologize to them for the inconvenience.
"Always thought it was interesting everybody could grab anything they want," Noren said.
The airlines, operating in the North domestic terminal, post uniform security guards around the carousels, who do random tag checks. Delta does not.
"Glad you got your bag back?" we asked.
"Thank you!" Noren responded.
If you suspect your luggage is stolen, you can contact the Atlanta Police Airport Precinct at 404-530-6630 or call 911.

Hi all, this is a borderline toddler / preschooler question. But DD is 2.5 and I'm looking at the future, so thought I'd post it here for those of you with experience. :)
We really have no morning routine. On 2 weekend days, DH and I are both there, on 2 weekdays it's just me and we're not rushing out of the house, on 1 weekday it's my mom (not rushing), and the remaining 2 weekdays we go to daycare. Lately we're having problems with getting ready for the day (dressed, breakfast, etc) and crankiness, particularly on days we don't have daycare. It seems like we let her noodle around in her PJ's or whatever, but then she doesn't want to get dressed or eat breakfast and she gets all cranky.
So I'm thinking we need to establish a morning routine, like we have a bedtime routine, and follow it every day, even though we may not need to be any place. What do your 2.5 - 3 year olds do?
Our other issue is that she really is not interested in eating breakfast, but then sometimes will get cranky from hunger (?) towards 9:30 or 10. They have snack/breakfast at daycare at 9:30, so I guess she's used to that timing (she may or may not eat before we leave for daycare). But on other days, one of her Grown Ups is often trying to get her someplace by 10 (story time or whatever) so I hate to leave the house with her having had nothing. Just not sure if it's worthwhile to continue to have her sit at the table at "breakfast time" when she's not hungry.
