Man knows not his time
A prewinter storm that dumped about a foot of snow and ice this month on the Midwest forced some urban Chicagoans to ponder their mortality. "It's only by the grace of God that I wasn't killed," said Sonny Skinner, who watched a four-foot chunk of ice whistle downward hundreds of feet from a nearby skyscraper and crash on the sidewalk. Mr. Skinner cringed as shards of ice hit his pantlegs, but he pulled his jacket over his head and soldiered on. Pedestrians in Chicago and other large cities that receive a lot of snowfall often find themselves sidestepping, weaving, or flat-out sprinting down sidewalks to avoid falling ice. Warning signs crop up around city buildings at the first freeze and remain until spring. Mr. Skinner, however, was well outside the area roped off with yellow "Caution Falling Ice" signs. "They didn't do me much good right there," he said. "There's nothing they can do." No, there's not. "Man knows not the time of his death," noted Puritan pastor Increase Mather in 1697. "Often it is so, when death falls upon a man, he thinks no more of it than the fishes think of the net before they are caught in it." Each year, WORLD compiles a large list of relatively well-known men and women from different walks of life who passed away over the last 12 months. This is a much more subtle method of provoking thoughts of eternal things than ice falling from skyscrapers, but we hope it's just as effective. "All future contingencies are known to God only ... ," Mather warned, "that so His children might live by faith, that so they might live a life of holy dependence upon God continually." JANUARY

I have INS. Have had it for years. , after I developed Lupus, however, I came down with a HOST if other Autoimmune Diseases. Including, but not limited to, Ischemic Bowel Disease, and my personal favorite- Microscopic Ulcerative colitis. How I got SO lucky I have NO IDEA! I had been given Anaspaz, years ago for the pain and bloating if the IBS, and it worked well - SO well, in fact, that I forgot I took it! An attack if one if the intestinal diseases , plus uncontrollable vomiting landed me in the ER- AGAIN- 3 days ago. I left with quite few prescriptions, among them was oine fir Levsin 1.25 sublingual tablets . THEN I remembered these! They are a lifesaver!! Make life almost with living. Again ! Thank God I rediscovered them, through a very caring ER Doctor!!! I am ever so grateful!!!
I have Crohn's disease which causes debilitating cramping. I take the dissolve tablet under my tounge which makes it work fast. However the onset of cramping is not predictable so I usually experience one episode in pain. I take it as soon as I can and it prevents pain for most of the rest of the day.
Several colon resections left me with almost uncontrollable IBS. After trying other medications, MD put me on Hyoscyamine twice daily and as needed. Changed my life considerably. Will attempt to add more fiber to diet again to see if it helps-made my symptoms worse in the beginning.
It works better than anything else that I have tried. It does cause dryness of the mouth if you take more than one. Sometimes if I feel an attack coming on I take an extra one.
Had bad lower abdomen pain for years. G.I Doc wanted me to try it. What a find, sure beats being curled up in pain.
I have severe IBS. I have tried a lot of meds. I found hyoscymamine to be the best so far. I also use fiber products as hyoscymaine does not solve the entire problem but I highly recommend it.
it made me dizzy for the first few times i took it, but it was way worth it.

Dear Colleague Letter: Forensic Science - Opportunity for Breakthroughs in Fundamental and Basic Research and Education
Date: August 12, 2013
Dear Colleagues:
The National Science Foundation (NSF) is interested in receiving proposals to existing programs in any directorate across the Foundation that address fundamental research questions which might simultaneously advance activities related to research and education in forensic sciences. Supplement requests to existing awards may also be submitted.
In 2009 the National Academy of Sciences published "Strengthening Forensic Science in the United States: A Path Forward."� While the report acknowledges that "the forensic science disciplines have produced valuable evidence that has contributed to the successful prosecution and conviction of criminals as well as to the exoneration of innocent people," it cites a need for systematic research to validate the various disciplines' underlying assumptions and methodologies, adding that the "forensic science ... communities will be improved by opportunities to collaborate with the broader science and engineering communities." NSF is the only Federal agency whose mission is to support basic research at the forefront of all fields of fundamental science and engineering.�It is therefore appropriate for the Foundation to support basic research that can inform research and education in forensic science.
This Dear Colleague Letter is to alert all basic science and engineering communities, including education researchers, to the Foundation's interest in receiving proposals that, while investigating fundamental questions, seek to pose and test hypotheses that could inform research in forensic sciences.�The interest spans both disciplinary and interdisciplinary research. Additionally, the wide public interest in forensics can provide an effective vehicle for basic research in science education. International partnerships, where appropriate, are encouraged, as are synergistic interactions with forensics and/or law enforcement agencies and organizations.�Proposals for workshops to explore fundamental science drivers and their relevance to forensics are also welcome. Proposers may review reports of recent workshops that exemplify collaborative approaches:
Cognitive science: (http://www.law.northwestern.edu/faculty/conferences/workshops/cognitivebias/documents/NSFWorkshopReportFinal.pdf) and
Instrumentation research: (http://www.chem.purdue.edu/docs/ForensicWorkshopFinalReport.pdf).
The Foundation would be particularly interested in proposals that engage forensic scientists and experts in a collaborative fashion with basic science researchers.�Topics might include, but are by no means limited to, the following:
Successful projects addressing foundational research on questions or issues in STEM learning related to forensics sciences, or specific challenges therein, will make clear contributions to synthesizing, expanding, or building the base of research knowledge and evidence needed to achieve excellence in forensics-related STEM education and/or workforce development. Also appropriate are interdisciplinary collaborations and partnerships for informal learning among academia, industry, and government that advance the development of a population and workforce well-informed about forensic science successes and challenges.
NSF recognizes the importance of enabling U.S. researchers and educators to advance their work through international partnerships, where the proposed collaboration can provide unique advantages of scope, scale, flexibility, or facilities, enabling advances that would not readily occur otherwise.�In view of this, U.S. investigators may include international components in new forensics proposals submitted to relevant NSF programs, or request supplemental funding for projects already supported by NSF. Furthermore, strong, well-defined international collaborations may incorporate opportunities for U.S. students and early career researchers to participate in substantive international research experiences abroad.
As always, searching the NSF awards database (http://www.nsf.gov/awardsearch/) can provide illustrative examples of current projects. In all cases, interested prospective Principal Investigators (PIs) are urged to consult with relevant disciplinary program officers in advance of submission.
This is not a special competition or new program.�Proposals and supplement requests in response to this Dear Colleague Letter must meet the requirements and deadlines of the program to which they are submitted. Questions concerning this Dear Colleague Letter should be directed to the e-mail alias email@example.com.

Over the course of his 60 years, Christopher Hitchens has been a citizen of both the United States and the United Kingdom. He has been both a socialist opposed to the war in Vietnam and a supporter of the U.S. war against Islamic extremism in Iraq. He has been both a foreign correspondent in some of the world's most dangerous places and a legendary bon vivant with an unquenchable thirst for alcohol and literature. He is a fervent atheist, raised as a Christian, by a mother whose Jewish heritage was not revealed to him until her suicide.
In other words, Christopher Hitchens contains multitudes. He sees all sides of an argument. And he believes the personal is political.
This is the story of his life, lived large.
©2010 Christopher Hitchens (P)2010 Hachette
"Truth, the whole truth and nothing but."
Hitch-22 is brilliant. I've read many articles by Christopher Hitchens over the years, and have always admired his take no prisoners journalism. This book is exactly that, and this time he's the target. The book is fabulous when he describes someone he likes, and delicious when he detests the subject.
I was especially intrigued with the Argentina portion. It was difficult to hear, but it makes a compelling case for Democracy, however imperfect. Mr. Hitchens' argument for the Iraq war is a terrific essay. I was, and still am, opposed to the war, but I found his insights helpful in understanding the other point of view.
This book is a love letter to America. Mr Hitchens sees the country with 20/20 vision and adores it, flaws and all. Hitch-22 should be required reading for all Americans.
I look forward to listening to this book a second time, which is something I rarely do. I love that he read it himself. It is tragic to think that we may lose this amazing writer. I want to scream "Please, don't leave me alone with the idiots"!
"A life of a kind of hero"
Hitchens may not be to your taste. If you're like me, he's a bit intimidating. His intellect can scorch his humanity now and then. But I think he is among our greatest public intellectuals. I have never heard nor read him without thinking that I need to work and think and write and speak with more dedication. When I don't agree with him, I still want to be a better person.
"Hitch-22" is scintillating, maddening, hilarious, touching, and entertaining. The sixties and Oxford come alive, as do his family and friends. I have given it three listens so far, but I'll keep coming back to it.
"Splendid Content"
As the title indicates, the content of the book does not disappoint. Hitchens is brilliant as ever. My only complaint is that he mumbles and is often hard to understand. The audio tracks for "God is Not Great" were very good. However, in this audiobook Hitchens is often a bit difficult to hear. I would likely recommend this book in print.
"Hitchen's own narration is a big bonus"
The only thing I knew about Hitch, as close friends tend to call him, is that he is a master of the written English word. I came to admire his essays on the American political scene during the 2008 elections and found that his scalpel-sharp wit and keen twist of phrase made otherwise mundane subjects exciting. I don't even agree with many of his political or anti-religious views, but his self-effacing intellectual analysis is worth a listen. In this Audible book, Hitchens narrates his own tome, and it adds to the experience. He delivers his written words with deadpan sincerity, as if he were recounting his life over a scotch and some cigs. It is a credit to his writing that he could read his own text and still have it sound almost like a conversation. For American readers, his memoir is also an interesting peek inside the European perspective on the Boomer generation, the Cold War, and the 1960s.
So many books, so little time...
"Fantastic in Every Way and Very Hitch"
If a book could be like a box of chocolates, then this could very well be a delightful box of Thorton's. Knowing his serious body of work it is interesting to have insight into how he was raised from a semi working class background to Oxford.
I loved that he read his book. His reading is the perfect vehicle for his memoir. His voice guides the listener through the twists and turns of his life. His style of reading is exactly as I have seen in his numerous interviews and speeches.
The story of his mother and how she influenced his life was so telling, and as they say, behind every great man is a great woman, and that would be Yvonne.
Worth the wait and worth every moment of time spent listening to this book. I would give this more than 5 stars, and would say if you love Christopher Hitchens, you will love this book.
Tongue In Cheek: God is an Englishman.
"A walk through the life & diversions of Hitch"
1st I am a big fan of Mr. Hitchens I have read most of his books and many of his articles and essays.
However I remember in my 1st encounter with him many years ago, I thought, here is a man with a rapier wit, I surmised a thirst for scotch and a heavy smoker....and also imagines perhaps low self esteem and even a self destructive bent!. In his memoir he validates all of these issues. And with the knowledge of him mothers suicide, I can only (or perhaps not) imagine his demons.
So I am very biased towards applauding him. However it must be noted, many times it is better to see you mentors from afar as getting to close make all of the "blemishes" highlighted.
Much like sausage and laws, many times so it the man, you are better off experience the result and not hot it has been made. But based on all of this, he has a life well lived, he has added much to the world and to society at large. I have always thought that we would soon hear of a heart attack, cancer or perhaps even suicide or death as a result of his travels and or lifestyle.
I was deeply saddened to hear of his cancer and treatment, as I fear we will lose a bright light of reason and clarity in a world full of so much noise.
This is not so much a memoir as it is a chronology of his life and then branches off to the numerous people he has known and the some of the influential thought and reflections of the time. While we learn much of his early life and family and some diversions into bi-sexuality, we learn nothing about his marriages and relationships with his children, nor do we learn of any epiphanies along the way or his general learning experiences. It is much more like a 2 way mirror into the observations he has had at the time. While it is always a delight to hear him read and to speak his mind, I was hoping for some greater insight and revelations of his life, passions love and yes even demons.
Regardless of this, Mr. Hitchens is always worth listening to. I wish him a speedy recovery.
"Well done"
I enjoyed hearing Hitchens read his own memoir. I have difficulty hearing, and despite his supposed mumbling, I found it quite easy to understand. This definitely provides insight into what makes Hitchens, well Hitchens - and I applaud him.
I love espionage and detective thrillers but will listen to most genres. Very frequent reviews. No plot spoilers! Please excuse my typos!
"Pure Christopher Hitchens"
I love it when an autobiographer performs his own audio book. Hitchens did so in his easy conversational style that often cloaked the sting of his opinions. I'm remiss in waiting until three years after his death to listen to Hitch-22.
I'm a long time admirer of Hitchens despite disagreeing with him on many topics. I admire his intellect, his clarity of presenting his case in speech and writing, his decency as a person,and possibly maybe most of all for his audacity in dealing with controversial topics.
For those of us who have been observers of his work for 25 or 30 years, there is little new in Memoirs other than his early life up until his late teens including his relationship with his mother and father. Hitchens was a profoundly moral man who acted on his beliefs. Those political beliefs were far left of center for all of his life, but not always apparently internally consistent. The book was extraordinarily well written and performed.
For those who do not know about Christopher Hitchens, this book is not the place to start. At least read his Wikipedia bio and watch a few of the many Youtuble videos that are readily available first.
I miss the contributions of Christopher Hitchens to the political dialog in the US and Europe. There is simply no journalist who can replace him. His relatively short 62 years were a well and fully lived life. I absolutely loved Memoirs.
Word loving college student with a 2+ hour daily commute, who sadly had to learn to accept that reading and driving are plainly incompatible
"Well enough, I suppose"
I had, going into this audiobook, only a rudimentary understanding Hitchens; I knew he hated Mother Teressa and that seemed about right to me so I bought this audiobook in order to get a glimpse at the man beyond the debater and anti-theist. I got what I came for, but it was far from perfect.
Sometimes Hitchens mumbles. He cuts off portions of words and almost seems to be content muttering to himself, one can tell well enough what he is saying, but it was a little jarring sometimes. However, that in and of itself is hardly worth criticizing on its own. The truly damning thing comes in the writing itself; Hitchens rambles. He is more than welcome to I suppose, but on the slightest of a whim he will go from one memory to another to another then back to the first, it's distracting and as an essayist you'd think he would know how to focus a little better.
The last quarter of it is by far my favorite, but this comes strictly from the fact that I finally understand the players involved. The first three quarters of the book deal with 1960-90s and I was less than a child then and have little experience of what was going on in the period (nor am I well read enough to understand fake it well enough to completely understand, this goes doubly to the plethora of literary references and name dropping that occurs throughout the text).
Again, so much of the book feels unfocused and rambling. I am sure that a great many books could be written with what Hitchens has seen and done in life, but I can't help but think that had he remained a bit more clear on what he wanted to accomplish in this memoir he might have had a better result.
"I wanted to love this book - but could not."
No. I wanted to love this book. I always enjoyed the interviews I had seen and heard. I enjoyed his quick wit, breadth of knowledge and his sarcasm during those interviews. While listening to this book - I was just ready for it to be over. He told his life story by describing major relationships in his life - many of them were not so interesting.
Smug, Self-aggrandizing, Cold
I would have liked to know more about his relationships with his wife and children.
It was impressive to hear about all his travels and the opportunities that he had as a student and young adult - his role as a young and active socialist played a major part in that, but I was impressed by his industriousness and drive.

Difference between revisions of "Marianna Jewell"
|Line 14:
|Line 14:
Revision as of 22:17, 28 August 2007
About Me:
- I am from Nashville, TN and have two brothers (25, 17) and one sister (20).
- I graduated from Georgia Tech in August, 2007 with an Industrial and Systems Engineering degree.
- I love to travel and my next destination of choice is South America. I would love to work abroad at some point. So far I've been to:
Singapore + China + Thailand + Cambodia + Malaysia + Inner Mongolia + Australia + Luxembourg + France + Italy + Germany + Austria + Spain + Netherlands + Belgium + Haiti + Bahamas + Canada
- I have glasses. But I've had them for less than a year.
- My pinky finger is as long as my second toe.
- This photo is WAY TOO BIG!!!
08/28/07 "Embracing Evidence Based Design" - I found it very surprising that the chances of dying through error are so high. (1/300-1/700) - only 14-30% of health care providers wash their hands. This leads to the spending of 1.7M with 99K deaths. - hospitals are VERY LOUD- and the noise worsens patient AND staff outcomes. (louder than a jackhammer, shown by studies) - introduction of Room Zoning: 1. Family Zone 2. Patient Zone 3. Health Care Provider Zone other interesting feature: larger doors so patients can fit in and out of the rooms WITH at least one other person - Effects of "Viewing Nature": women stayed one full day less on average in the hospital death rate was 70% higher in dull rooms 21% lower drug costs for patients in brighter rooms 22% fewer analgesics for patients in brighter rooms
If the turnaround time is only one year for including all of these features in hospitals, why do people not add the features? How much would it cost to test for the most spreadable diseases within the hospital? Would this be a partial solution to fewer infections? Dr. Zimring mentioned how some countries test for disease, but others don't.
More ideas to come before next week....
Particularly Interesting Remarks:
- Most doctors are not employed by the hospital -> the hospital "allows" doctors on the staff.
- Hughes Spalding designers wished to make the new hospital "more like home" for the patient focus.
+ warm colors + lots of windows + natural light + hardwook floors -> fake linoleum! + music
- new beds employ self-propulsion
- staff lounges have more windows, which really helps with staff retention
- put supplies in the same locations at all 3 places
- wireless access EVERYWHERE. but is it free?
- "Computers on Wheels" (COWs) keep up with paperwork management for hospital staff. 1 for every 5 rooms.
Food for Thought:
- How can you design something so creative/innovative that someone will want to put their name on it?
- How do you make everyone jump on the bandwagon? This seems to be a prevalent problem with new innovations EVERYWHERE, not just health care.
I wrote down a few notes about "room messaging," which would explain everything you would want to know about what is going on with a certain procedure happening in that room, etc. However, I don't remember if that is actually being employed or if it is a new idea. I'll ask someone.

I was recently in Buenos Aires for the opening of my exhibition in the Centro Cultural Borges. I met and worked with some amazing students who are taking part in a unique photography program called ph15. Fifteen is the number which identifies the slum on the edge of Buenos Aires where they live. Here are some of their pictures.
Through learning how to look at and depict the different realities of their lives, both as individuals and in a group, the students learn to explore everything that surrounds them and to express themselves through their personal views, and with a new perspective.
Showing the work produced by the ph15 students is one of the most important parts of the project. Each student participates in selection, mounting, framing, and hanging. The exhibition venues range from local venues to museums in Europe, North and South America and beyond.
Ph15 helps the students to take full ownership of the neighborhood in which they live, but also learn how to move around the city and know places where they usually don't go or do not have access.
Ph15 generates a space where adolescents can develop their identities and improve their social and cultural conditions. Ph15 uses the creative power of photography to open an alternative route for students that transmits values and cultural understanding that belong to them and are not imposed by others' expectations.
Listening to the students discuss their plans for the future, almost all of them hoped to continue with photography in some way. PH15 has provided them with the support and confidence to help positively shape the future of the neighborhood and their lives.

Not giving up
Marriage | Pro-marriage advocate Brian Brown finds hope as the gay marriage debate moves toward the Supreme Court
"Not giving up" Continued...
In February, a three-judge panel of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals struck down as unconstitutional California's Proposition 8, a state constitutional amendment passed by voters that would have defined marriage as a union between one man and one woman. The 9th Circuit Tuesday refused to rehear the case.
In an interview Wednesday, Brian Brown, president of the National Organization for Marriage told me that, although the ruling is in one sense a setback, the end result could be very helpful as the case heads to the U.S. Supreme Court.
Were you surprised by the 9th Circuit's decision to not rehear the case? The 9th Circuit is the most overturned circuit in the country, and obviously it has a very liberal bent, so the decision itself is not a big surprise. What is sort of a surprise is how strong the dissent was. [The three dissenting judges] basically say that the interpretation of the law put forward by the majority is completely outside the bounds of the clear legal history. I think that will be important as this goes to the U.S. Supreme Court.
Could you explain what the dissenting justice meant when he wrote that the majority made a "gross misapplication" of the law? The 9th Circuit tried to make a decision that they thought the Supreme Court would be more likely to uphold. As you know, the state Supreme Court forced same-sex marriage on California and then the people went to the ballot box and overturned that. But [the 9th Circuit] ended up in territory that makes no sense.
The 9th Circuit is basically saying, once the court decides, the law is a one-way street, and you can never overturn it. I don't know many people of common sense that are going to accept such an interpretation. [The court also suggested that] same-sex couples are a special class and only animus would drive people to support marriage as between a man and a woman. It's just so far beyond the pale I find it hard to believe that the Supreme Court is going to accept it.
How important is the upcoming presidential election in this battle? President Obama has come out in support of same-sex marriage. The mask is off, and who is on the Supreme Court is going to decide the future of marriage. I'm confident that President Obama would nominate justices that would undermine marriages and that Gov. Romney would nominate justices that would stick to the letter of the law. President Obama himself has made this [issue] a proxy for the election.
And we also have key marriage votes in four states-Maryland, Washington, Minnesota, and Maine-that are very important. Obama also needs to win in key swing states, like Florida, Ohio, and North Carolina, which just voted overwhelmingly to protect traditional marriage. I don't see any other way to look at the 2012 election other than as a national referendum on same-sex marriage.
During the Republican primaries, conventional wisdom held that it's all about the economy, so social issues should stay on the back burner. Will Romney, as the presumptive GOP nominee, give marriage enough attention? Gov. Romney was very forthright in signing our pledge, which calls for a federal marriage amendment. Obviously, given the huge economic problem our country faces, that's going to be an issue. But I believe candidates can walk and chew gum at the same time. I expect that we'll continue to get that strong support from Gov. Romney and that will make very clear in voters' minds that they've got a choice here. This issue will be a major part of President Obama being a one-term president.
What do you make of the polls that seem to indicate increasing public support for gay marriage? When voters address the issue directly in referenda they have so far always rejected it. The polls showing support for same-sex marriage are not worth the paper they're written on. In every single state where we've helped manage a constitutional amendment campaign, polls consistently underrepresented support for traditional marriage. On average it was by about 6 percent, sometimes a lot more. The polls suggested we were in jeopardy of losing North Carolina, yet 61 percent voted to protect marriage.
Many of these polls don't actually focus on voters, and secondly they use completely biased language. [For example, one question was], "Do you believe same-sex marriage should be illegal?" Well, "illegal" conjures up images of people being put in jail. If you ask the question point-blank, "Do you oppose or support same-sex marriage?" the majority of Americans oppose same-sex marriage.
If this is true, why do Democrats think talking about same-sex marriage is going to help them? People say, President Obama is very smart, and his team is very smart, why would they do this if there wasn't a reason? They must know more than we do. They don't. There is a cult of wishful thinking among Democrats. They were claiming at one point that we were going to lose Proposition 8 by 18 points [it passed with 52 percent]. And whenever there's a poll that buttresses what they believe, they trumpet it from the hills, but it's just not based in the electoral realities of the votes. And so that means that they make really big mistakes.
Same-sex marriage supporters often say that they are on the "right side of history." How does that influence the debate? Sun Tzu said that the best victory is the victory of the battle never fought. The notion is that if they continue to say that it's inevitable, then those of us who believe and know in our hearts that marriage is the union of a man and a woman will simply give up. I can say that I know that many of us will never give up. It's important that we explode that myth.
This is not evitable. This is in the hands of the citizens to decide. It's critical that people realize that we are continuing to win and that people get out and vote for the candidates that will support traditional marriage.

brazil carmo - nazareth dias pereira, colo decaf, moka kadir
Wow - this Brazil is such a beautiful coffee, dark opal green color, remarkable preparation, fantastic to roast in the Probat. I used a roast profile where I reached 1st crack in 11 minutes and dropped the heat at the first pops to extend the time until target temperature of 430 f was reached. The Probat has a lot of steel in the drum and end plates, meaning that there is a lot of conduction of heat to the coffee, so you can drop your flame and "cruise" quite easily in this roaster. That's not the case with roasters like the behmor, which is mainly radiant and convective heat, or air roasters that are pure convection. But the idea is the same, and roast profiles can be matched between different types of machines. It's too early to really cup the coffee, but my goal is to preserve brighter tones in the cup, which should emerge as the cup cools down in tasting. The Colombia decaf was fairly light but colored quite heavily and had a loud pop. I think we'll see oils emerge even though this is a fairly like 430 f roast, but that's a way in which decafs can be weird. The Moka Kadir was a 460 f roast that I slowed considerably at the finish. Should have a lot of chocolate tonality!

I wear a mean dark pair of shades
And you can't see my eyes
Unless my head is bent, you dig

We fly high, no lie, you know this (Ballin'!)
Foreign rides, outside, its like showbiz (We in the building)
We stay fly, No Lie, you know this (Ballin'!)
Hips and thighs, oh my, stay focused
[Verse 1]
Ya boy gettin paper (Money), I buy big cars (Foreign)
I need fly rides to drive in my garage (Choose one)
Stay sky high, twisted, Fly wit the stars (Twinkle ,Twinkle)

Someone tell my bitch summer I'm lookin for her
Ya dig, another day another dollar
Fast life fucker
Balling as mantra.

I've tweeted many times about my Australian cycling friend Paul van Bellen from Sydney & his cycling tour project 'Cycling Dutch Style': "If you want to get more people cycling in Australia, you need to make it more attractive, easy and convenient." - Paul van Bellen.
In May 2011 Paul will lead 30 Australian cycling thinkers over a 500km, 13 day tour in The Netherlands, the world's most cycle friendly country. Filmmakers Rowena Crowe and Paulo Alberton will follow and record van Bellen's tour as his team studies innovations and attitudes in cycling. Rowena and Paulo will shape the material collected into web friendly stories and information for a website called www.cyclingdutchstyle.com.au, and also into a documentary, once participants of the tour return to their homes and routines in Australia. Our website will be fully functional by early March 2011, in time for us to engage with our audience.
The Impact Major cities around the world are embracing cycling as a way to commute, in a bid to combat pollution, save petrol and avoid traffic congestion. While cycling groups in Australia are trying to promote cycling as a sustainable transport alternative through initiatives like Ride to Work Day, our major cities are lagging behind the rest of the world in infrastructure investment. The Netherlands has invested heavily in bicycle infrastructure over the last 30 years. The result is today 30% of all trips are done on a bicycle throughout the country, whilst in Australia many cities are aiming towards 5% by 2016. These stories will not only entertain broader audiences but they will also contribute to a valuable and unique online resource that may inform policy making in Australia and inspire other city planners around the world. The Tour The 30 participants meet in Dieren, the Netherlands on May 10th 2011 to begin their tour. Over the next 14 days they will ride an average 50 km per day. Our cameras will follow their journey, recording the sights and sounds and seeking their views on the state of cycling in these cities. We will meet Dutch people who use the bike infrastructure daily as they ride to work, school or to the shops. We will meet with experts who are involved in developing and maintaining this infrastructure. Together these stories will help us better understand the positive effects of investing heavily in cycling infrastructure. Each day we will be reporting from the saddle, bringing knowledge from the road. We will invite our audience to engage with our findings and consider how these ideas could be adapted to Australian conditions and way of life. Key moments on the tour will include a visit to: Groningen, the world's number one cycling city with 60% of all trips done by bicycle; Utrecht where they will meet the cycling infrastructure experts from Fietsberaad, the Dutch centre for cycling policy; Houten, which is recognised as a yardstick of a liveable sustainable city, where the direct route to town is on the bike path and cars are forced to use peripheral roads. For full break down of the itinerary go here. What We Need & What You Get We are asking US$ 8,000 (not Australian dollar) to cover the expenses of the plane ticket and accommodation, so we (Rowena and Paulo) can participate on the tour and create content for both the website and documentary. Our professional and creative work is voluntary. Also in order to offer you these fantastic and irresistible prizes, we have accessed the support of Gazelle Bicycle Australia who is offering Gazelle products (Gazelle bikes and accessories) as prizes at cost value, only for this project. This means a great return for your contribution!!! The monetary value of your contribution is just over to the value of the prizes. Check the prizes underneath. And if you prefer another bike, Gazelle is flexible and happy to discuss this with you. Please be aware that contributions are made in US dollars. Currently A$ and US$ are nearly the same value, but please check for up to date exchange rates prior to making your contribution.
This project desperately needs to get documented, thus funded & supported, so go click! FFFYI (Fun Facts For Your Information): - 'van Bellen' is a Dutch surname - the verb 'bellen' means 'ringing', either calling on the phone, ringing the door bell or...wait for it...ringing your bike bell :)). AND...look at Gazelle's famous print ad series from the early 20th century that came in the form of a cartoon called ''t AVONTUUR van PIET PELLE op zyn GAZELLE.', which translates into 'The adventure of Piet Pelle on his Gazelle'. Both rhyme, and so it does when you exchange 'Piet Pelle' for 'Paul van Bellen'...
I rest my case, there's only so much that can be written in the stars, I suppose ;).
Coincidently, I hooked up with Rowena Crowe late November when she was in town for the IDFA. She'd bought a crappy but lovely bike to get around. Crappy as many other beater bikes, but lovely all the same, because...it got her around ;). We rode together, she asked the questions and filmed for prosperity. As Rowena writes: "This film gives you a sneak preview of the kind of people we will be meeting on the cycling Dutch style study tour in May 2011." Of course we stopped for beers as well. Like the ride, we took it slowly, as her jet lag was starting to kick in. I'm looking forward to springtime, to give that part of cultural integration another shot.

Mullens poured in 18 to lead the Charlotte Bobcats over the Washington
Wizards, 100-88, in the first of eight preseason games for both teams.
Henderson led all scorers and Mullens hauled in a team-high eight rebounds for
Charlotte, while rookie Michael Kidd-Gilchrist -- the No.2 pick in the 2012
NBA Draft -- contributed 12 points in his first NBA action. He also grabbed
six rebounds and came up with three steals.
New acquisitions Ben Gordon and Ramon Sessions made solid contributions off
the bench for the Bobcats. Gordon shot 6-of-11 and finished with 16 points.
Sessions scored 14 while dishing out five assists and pulling in five
Bradley Beal, the third pick of the 2012 draft class, and Martell Webster led
the Wizards with 18 points a piece off the bench. Washington's starters only
managed 36 points combined.
The Wizards trailed by double-digits the entire second half until Webster
scored on two layups to cut the deficit to six with 3:31 left to play in the
game, but the Bobcats scored the next seven points to regain a 13-point
advantage and seal the victory.

Meridian, Mississippi Two candidates running for Meridian City Council are sharing their plans for dealing with the city's crime problem.
Randy Hammon is running as a Republican in Ward Five after defeating incumbent Bobby Smith in the primary election. John C. Harris is running as a Democrat and has served on the council before. The candidates have differing viewpoints when it comes to dealing with the ongoing issue.
"You have to update them with harsher penalties for first time offenders," Hammon says. "Rather than give the warning, warning, warning like a lot of people do. Without that happening, you know human behavior, is what it is."
"It's all about making sure those rules and regulations are carried out," Harris says. "Stiffer penalties is not going to deter crimes. Only thing you going to do is perpetrate more crime."
Polls are open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Tuesday.

Serena Williams lost her US Open crown on a second code violation and a point penalty on match point ultimately falling 6-4, 7-5 in the semifinals to Kim Clijsters. The Belgian lady baller will face first time finalist Caroline Wozniacki, who dismissed Yanina Wickmayer 6-3, 6-3, in the final tomorrow.
An irate ReRe had already broken her racquet at the end of the first set (earning the first code violation) and, after being called for a foot fault after delivering a second serve at 15-30, she lost it berating and cursing at the linesperson for the call and then receiving the penalty.
Check out her post-match presser here. More updates tomorrow.
And to think we still have the boys' semis to go.
What a tourney.
UPDATE: Kimmie's presser transcript here.
UPDATE #2: In case you missed it, here's the vid.
UPDATE #3: The New York Times' article on the incident -
Reporters who were courtside said that Williams approached the line judge and they heard Williams shout profanity at her. Holding a ball, Williams said to the lineswoman that "you don't know me," appearing to inject it with profanity. Then Williams added that the linewoman was lucky that Williams was not, according to The Miami Herald, "shoving this ball down your throat."
Bad timing on the call for sure but ReRe's reaction and language towards the linesperson were completely unacceptable.
UPDATE #4: Possible suspension and/or fine for ReRe currently being discussed. Still developing.
UPDATE #5: She'll be fined $10,500 - $10,000 for the incident and $500 for racquet abuse. An investigation has been opened to see if additional fines should be levied. Her statement below along with WTA CEO Stacy Allaster...
Last night everyone could truly see the passion I have for my job. Now that I have had time to gain my composure, I can see that while I don't agree with the unfair line call, in the heat of battle I let my passion and emotion get the better of me and as a result handled the situation poorly. I would like to thank my fans and supporters for understanding that I am human and I look forward to continuing the journey, both professionally and personally, with you all as I move forward and grow from this experience.
Serena is a great player who has done so much for our sport and I am certain she will continue to be a role model to millions of young women who want to play the game and excel as Serena has done. As a role model, it's important for a leader like Serena to step forward and recognize her behavior last night was unacceptable, and I believe that her statement earlier today is an acknowledgement of her responsibility to her fans.(Photo: Getty)

National Alliance on Mental Illness

How Faith Communities Can Break the Stigma of Mental Illness
By Dr. Matthew Stanford, Professor of Psychology, Neuroscience and Biomedical Studies at Baylor University
Christians are often surprised to learn that individuals experiencing psychological distress, both believers and nonbelievers, are more likely to seek help from a member of the clergy or ministry staff before any other professional group. Unfortunately, research shows that 30 to 40 percent of people with mental illness who approach the church for assistance are told there is no such thing as mental disorders. Rather, their illness is "spiritualized" and suggested to result from a lack of faith or personal sin. Ignorance is simply not an excuse for a community of believers who have been called to "bear one another's burdens."
I am often asked by pastors and people of faith if mental illness occurs at the same rates in the church as it does outside the church. The numbers are close: In the general population, an estimated 25.6 percent of Americans 18 and older experience a diagnosable mental disorder in a given year. In our most recent study of mental illness and the church, we found that in a sample of 5,899 congregants, representing 24 different Protestant churches across four denominations, 27.1 percent reported that they or a member of their family experienced a mental illness during the previous year.
Those families struggling to care for a loved one also reported that they had significantly greater relational conflict, more financial problems and increased difficulty connecting with both God and the church when compared with families who did not deal with mental illness in the previous year. A quarter of families in the church are struggling to survive on a daily basis. And suggestions such as "you need to pray more" are ineffective in dealing with these serious medical conditions.
Our churches should be sanctuaries. The first step toward developing an environment that promotes hope and healing in those living with mental illness is to break the silence; brought into the light, stigma quickly dies.
Here are some simple steps to begin:
The fact that individuals living with mental illness are seeking assistance and counsel from the church should prompt us to rise up. A biblical response to mental illness relieves physical and psychological suffering while revealing the unconditional love and limitless grace that is available through a personal relationship with Christ. This is done through the application of both biblical truth and psychological and psychiatric resources. God is leading his hurting children to us. It's time that the church stopped abdicating its role in mental health and started leading.

ATLANTA -- Sandy Springs Police have released the name of the man shot and killed outside Northside Hospital Thursday evening.
Police Capt. Steve Rose said the victim was 19-year-old Melvin Vernell III, an aspiring rapper who went by the name Lil Phat. Vernell was signed to Trill Entertainment, according to blog djbishopradio and other hip-hop websites.
Vernell was shot several times Thursday evening in the parking deck near the entrance to Northside Hospital's Women's Center. He was pronounced dead later that night.
The hospital went on lockdown for two hours after the shooting as police searched the entire campus.
"I was in my hospital bed and I heard what I thought were gunshots. So I mentioned to my husband that that's what I thought it was," she said. "People were running in all different directions. There were nurses running out and there were cops running. At that point they put the hospital on lockdown ... not what you expect when you go in to have a baby."
Police said the shooting at Northside Hospital was not related to another Thursday afternoon fatal shooting at a funeral in Stone Mountain.

Highway Bill: The Unmentionable Option
In an article about federal highway legislation yesterday, the Washington Post illustrated the art of advocacy journalism cloaked as news reporting. The article explored different options for raising federal taxes $100 billion to fund state highways. It quotes three transportation lobbyists and included scare lines about the supposed consequences of not raising taxes ("… hundreds of thousands of construction jobs put at risk…").
SHOP Exchange Glitches
Open enrollment for Obamacare's second year begins next week. In the chaotic launch of HealthCare.gov, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) delayed the launch of the sister portal for small businesses. Now, the health insurance exchange for small businesses is expected to open, but it is still plagued with problems.
Make America Safer: Shut Down the Department of Homeland Security
Congress created the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) in 2002 by combining 22 agencies that are responsible for a vast array of activities. President George W. Bush promised that the new department would "improve efficiency without growing government" and would cut out "duplicative and redundant activities that drain critical homeland security resources."
Report Concludes that Yucca Mountain Is Safe
For decades, the federal government has struggled with the issue of storing waste from commercial nuclear reactors and defense-related nuclear activities. The government has spent billions of dollars planning for nuclear waste disposal, but the creation of a permanent storage site is years behind schedule due to federal mismanagement and safety concerns. A new report confirms that the current proposed site, Yucca Mountain in Nevada, is safe for use.
Wading Through Disability Paperwork
Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) provides benefits to 11 million individuals, costing $140 billion annually. Its trust fund will become insolvent by 2016, so policymakers have little time to reform the system.
TFSAs Spur Canada Savings Revolution
A tax reform is spurring a savings revolution in Canada. Amity Shlaes and I wrote about Canada's Tax-Free Savings Accounts (TFSAs) in the Wall Street Journal in August. We think that such accounts would be a fantastic policy reform for America. They would simplify the taxation of savings, encourage families to save more, and spur stronger economic growth.
Abusing Federal Paid Leave
Compensation for federal civilian employees is more generous than private-sector workers. Federal workers receive better benefits than their non-governmental counterparts in particular, and generous paid leave benefits are one of the federal advantages. A new report from the Government Accountability Office (GAO) suggests that federal agencies are abusing this benefit.
Accuracy of Macroeconomic Forecasts

Greetings! I stumbled upon my old D&D folder today while cleaning some pendrives and found some old maps I drew some years ago in Paint.
This particular one was responsible for a lot of player death in a D&D campaign. It depicts the island Currath, a remote spit of land used by the once mighty empire of Sisgardia to trap all sorts of odd creatures and monsters that resulted from their indiscriminate use of magic.
Eventually, the Sisgardians collapsed under a series of civil wars and barbarian depredations, leaving the island unguarded. As time passed by, explorers, cultists, crusaders, magicians, and a long list of other individuals found themselves on the island for various reasons, often fighting each other because of it.
With the old sisgardian ruins running all across and beneath the island, it became the quintessential treasure trove, atracting quite a few adventurers, all while the aberrations trapped within served to turn the place into one massive dungeon.
Repeatedly purged, repopulated, repurged, re-repopulated, claimed by holy orders supposedly mounting guard, conquered by sisgardian pretenders, occupied by demons, demon-worshippers, demon-hunters, slave traders, and what have you, Currath has seen quite a bit of activity for such a far-away island.
And this one depics the Kingdom of Carbarath, an absurdly rich nation populated by elves who abandoned the primitive ways of their more forest-friendly kin and forged a world-spanning network of trade companies, slavedrivers, and banking institutions. There are still some old-fashioned druids and tree-huggers living on the outskirts of the realm, but they are treated as second-class citizens (though never enslaved), seen as addorable backwards that need to be brought into the civilized fold, which generally ends up in forceful integration or skirmishes to "drive away the savages encroaching in our enlightened lands".
They also feature some of the most amazing gardens in the known world, skillfully tended by legions of tiny gnomes bred specifically for that purpose (and traded in the markets inside their respective tiny cages. Good garden gnomes are quite a commodity).
It was used in a short-lived D&D campaign where the party was hired by a carbarathi trading company -The Golden Anchor- interested in opening a new manufacture colony on the shores of an unexplored jungle region. Three sessions down the line, the characters got themselves killed by a band of marauding lizardmen and the colony was burned to the ground.
It's good to be the DM.

By Victoria Cavaliere and Scott Malone
NEW YORK/BOSTON (Reuters) – The first major winter storm of 2014 bore down on the northeastern United States on Thursday with heavy snow, Arctic temperatures and strong winds that snarled travel just as many people were returning from holiday breaks.
The wide storm system stretches from the lower Mississippi Valley to the Atlantic coast, with parts of New England including Boston bracing for as much as 14 inches of snow by Friday morning. Some cities along the storm's southern edge expect only minimal snowfall.
Snow was falling across much of the northeastern United States by midday Thursday, though the serious accumulation was expected to begin after sunset and continue overnight, said Kim Buttrick, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Taunton, Massachusetts.
"The real action is going to get cranked up this evening and during the overnight hours. We'll have heavy snow, windy conditions, reduced visibilities," Buttrick said, adding that dangerous cold would continue into Friday.
Forecast snowfall varied widely, with Washington expected to see under an inch, Philadelphia 4 to 6 inches, New York 4 to 8 inches, Hartford 6 to 10 inches and Boston 8 to 14 inches.
The storm is expected to snarl traffic on the I-95 highway corridor between New York and Boston, the weather service said. Coastal flooding was forecast along low-lying parts of New England and some waterfront highways in Massachusetts were closed by midday on Thursday due to high waters.
The storm will provide an early challenge to New York Mayor Bill de Blasio, elected on promises of enacting a progressive agenda. Problems from digging out from snowstorms have been political havoc for mayors in the United States' biggest city for decades.
"I think he can pull it off. He seems like a hands-on person who can identify with what people in these communities are going through," said Wayne Jenkins, 40, who works at a senior center in the New York borough of Brooklyn.
The powerful storm forced about 1,569 U.S. flights to be canceled and about 2,924 delayed, with the worst-affected airports Chicago's O'Hare International, Newark's Liberty International Airport and Cleveland-Hopkins International Airport, according to FlightAware, a website which tracks air travel.
Officials with Boston's Logan International Airport said they expected airlines to scale back operations during the storm, with the last departure expected at roughly 8:30 p.m. ET.
In Boston, public schools were told to close on Friday, extending students' holiday break by a day.
The weather service said the mass of Arctic air would drop temperatures to levels 20 to 30 degrees below normal, with record lows possible on Friday.
"Temperatures are expected to plummet tonight and tomorrow with wind chills dropping as low as 25 degrees below zero (F/-32 C)," said Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick. "That is a very dangerous set of circumstances."
The low temperature in the contiguous United States on Wednesday was -43 Fahrenheit (-42 Celsius) at Embarrass, Minnesota, the weather service said.
Slippery road conditions made driving a hazard in many storm-hit areas, with police reporting multiple traffic accidents across the region.
Paul Brown, a 53-year-old construction manager from the Chicago area, said he broke from his usual routine and took the train into work to avoid a dangerous drive.
"Sometimes, I wonder if they have a death wish," he said of area drivers. "Down south, you get an inch of snow and it paralyzes the whole town. Here, people get in the left lane and just drive."
While most New York-area schools were open on Thursday, some parents were bracing for the possibility their children would be home on Friday.
"It's tough with these storms because I end up using days off that I don't want to take," said Kristen Carson, who had taken the train into Manhattan from her home in suburban Montclair, New Jersey. "After the holiday, it's really kind of a pinch."
