We Found Our Son in the Subway
Twenty years ago, on February 26, 1993, a truck bomb exploded in the garage of the North Tower of the World Trade Center, killing six people and an unborn child. More than 1,000 were injured. [more inside]
With apologies to Ludwig.
Once the home of the Weckquaesgeek tribe, and more recently, William Shatner, Hastings-on-Hudson might sound like the next village over from Downton Abbey, but according to the New York Times, it's "a village, in a Wittgensteinian sort of way" seeing an influx of ex-Brooklynites fleeing to the suburbs in the face of creeping real estate prices. Sure, these new hipsturbanites may miss the creative density of urban New York, but at least the river setting matches their Filson/woolrich heritage-brand aesthetic. Read on if you set your cultural compass to the Brooklyn Flea, or your NYT Style section appreciation to ironic twee.
Uptown to the Bronx: Vignelli's standards

Any dub can find shady nooks. Work fast; the garden closes at sundown.
In an article titled "So You're From Brooklyn," Brooklyn is declared a "bourgeois borough" full of "baby carriages, rubber plants, gold fish and green grocers." The author warns that "Your average Manhattanite's conception of that great unexplored area beyond the three bridges is at once as naive as a child's idea of Alice's mythical Wonderland and as weird as a futurist artist's impression of Heaven."The Brooklynite magazine (1926-1930) rediscovered and reviewed.

"Mr. Koch is survived by New York itself."
"He was fiercely proud of his Jewish faith. He fiercely defended the City of New York, and he fiercely loved its people. Above all, he loved his country, the United States of America, in whose armed forces he served in World War II." - a self-written epitaph by the former 105"Hizzoner" passed away on Friday morning at the age of 88, and the New York Times City Room blog spent the day collecting and posting stories about him.

"I wanted the world to know my city as I did"
In 1992, Lynn Brooks founded the non-profit Big Apple Greeter program, to help make a visit to New York City seem less intimidating and dangerous to first-time visitors: Pick a date, time and neighborhood, and the organization will match you up with a local who will spend several hours with you, helping you find your way around, teaching you the ins and outs of subways and buses, the cool shops, the great places to eat. (Their site also has some outstanding neighborhood profiles and cultural attraction guides that should be of just as much interest to local residents.) The idea spread, leading to the formation of the Global Greeter Network, which now has greeter programs in cities all over the world.

Whenever there's trouble, they're there on the double.
"On a good day, the street maintenance team tasked by the New York City Department of Transportation with roadway repair might fill 4,000 potholes in eight hours. In an average week, they could resurface 100,000 square yards of road. After Hurricane Sandy, their crews removed 2,500 tons of debris. And every day, on a Tumblr called The Daily Pothole, New Yorkers can take a peek inside the workings of a city system few have likely thought about."

The Museum of Mathematics
Last night was the grand opening of the Museum of Mathematics in New York City, the only museum of its kind in North America. The video is narrated by MoMath's chief of content, mathematical sculptor George Hart (better known in some circles as Vi Hart's dad.) The sculpture of the space of three-note chords in the video is based on the work of Dmitri Tymoczko, and the lovely curved hammock of strings a visitor is sitting in at the end is a ruled quadric surface. Many more videos at the Museum of Mathematics YouTube channel. Coverage from the New Scientist. (Previously on MetaFilter.)
Great Wealth Is A Public Trust
Last year, The Cooper Union For The Advancement Of Science And Art publicly admitted it was in dire financial straits and raised the idea of charging tuition for the first time in 110 years. The students responded in an appropriate manner. But now as the specter of tuition becomes closer to reality the students took a more drastic option: Since Monday, eleven undergraduate students have expertly barricaded themselves inside the top floor of the New York college. They talk about what they want. They even get pizza. [more inside]

NYCbaton is a blog that gives a different Instagram-using New Yorker the chance to post a photo and story of their life in NYC each day. Every day, there's something different from someone else, but it's an interesting view of the city from so many contributors. It is reminiscent of Sweden's national Twitter account, and how a different resident posts each day to that feed.

Race matters
Manhattan District leader Mark Levine plans to run for a city council seat in 2013, for District 7. The problem? Thomas Lopez-Pierre, a Harlem activist who is also running for term-limited Councilman Robert Jackson's seat, circulated an e-mail late on November 26th in an attempt to plan a "private meeting" to "discuss the potential damage to the political empowerment of the Black and Hispanic community if Mark Levine, a White/Jewish candidate was elected to the 7th Council District in 2013."
I was living in 1993 for seventeen years
In 1993, 18-year-old Trevell Coleman shot a man in East Harlem and fled the scene. In the following years, he became part of the New York City rap community and eventually signed with Bad Boy Records, though he never stopped wondering what had happened to the man he'd shot. At the end of 2010, Coleman decided to find out. [more inside]

No dikes yet? No dikes yet.
In 2009, the Dutch television network RTL reported on a proposal to build a Dutch-style floodwall across the Narrows at the mouth of New York harbor (SLYT), complete with an animation of what it was designed to protect against: flooding of 4 meters into Manhattan & the surrounding areas. This uncannily resembles what transpired this Monday.

Way down in ...
"The Hole is a small triangle of land divided in half by Brooklyn and Queens, and is located west of the intersection of Linden and Conduit Boulevard. The Hole is literally a hole. It is "30 feet below grade," according to the NY Times, sunken down from the busy roads around it. The neighborhood floods often and is only a few feet above the water table, so its homes are "not incorporated into the city sewer system. They all have cesspools," according to the NY Times. Streets are threatened by reedy marshes, and many residents keep a boat parked in the driveway." It's also home to some stables used by the Federation of Black Cowboys.

NYC and Breastfeeding
During his tenure as Mayor of New York City, "public health autocrat" Michael Bloomberg has attempted to regulate trans fats, smoking and sugar-filled sodas. Now, he has a fresh target: moms who don't breastfeed. Beginning September 3, NYC hospitals participating in a new, voluntary program: Latch-On NYC (press release / posters / FAQ -pdf-), will make formula less accessible, to encourage moms of newborns to breastfeed instead of using formula.

Treasure in the Trash by Nelson Molina
One man's trash is another man's treasure — we've all heard the old adage, but Nelson Molina, a longtime sanitation worker in Manhattan, takes the saying to an entirely new level: a self-curated, full-fledged art gallery — from other people's trash. The New York Times toured Mr. Molina's gallery recently, getting a rare peek into the collection that contains everything from a Masters of Business Administration diploma (from Harvard!) to a portrait of Winston Churchill.

This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

Educating children is the responsibility of our entire community. The Woodland school district is in need of a new high school to house and educate the future leaders and is asking taxpayers to pass a school construction bond issue. Whether or not you have children in the school district, if you live in the district, I am asking you all to join me in voting "yes" for Woodland schools.
Passing the bond issue will facilitate construction of the new high school as well as upgrades and remodels of existing schools. Bond interest rates are at historic lows that will only increase, and the bidding climate for construction is favorable. The district qualifies for state matching funds covering $11 million of the project costs. These funds may not be available in the future. Sooner or later, the new school and other remodeling projects will have to be completed, and later the cost will be greater. Vote "yes" for Woodland's future today by voting "yes" on April 17.

Giant Tentacruel and giant Onix have Unowns cry because I used empty Pokemon slots to create more powerful versions of them - unfortunately, there's no way to repoint the cries of those extra slots.
Here's a link to an updated beta. St. Anne bug should be fixed, spelling errors as well:

^ As I said in an earlier post, I couldn't replicate the turning Pokemon to egg error. I've had that happen to me with older versions of those scripts, though, but I haven't gotten those errors with the current scripts.
If you come across that error in the Mewtwo Strikes Back event and/or Bulbasaur's Mysterious Garden event, please post and report as many details (including full Pokemon party used and order if possible) so that I can try to replicate those circumstances. Also, try patching a different rom and see what happens.
Thanks again for the bug reports.

Costeñitas Ii Group
Amanda, president of the communal bank, has been part of the "Costeñitas" communal bank for two cycles, approximately one year. She took a break between the first and second cycle. Currently divorced and the mother of two children, her business is the buying and selling of underwear. Nine years ago, Amanda lost her job, and that's when she decided to follow the advice of a friend and make a trip to bring underwear from Iquique, a city on the Chilean coast, and travel around selling it to private and public institutions. This business allows her to care for her children and her home, and make the best use of her time.
The loan she has requested will allow her to travel to the city of Iquique to collect the merchandise that she has already ordered for the end of the year: red and yellow underwear. This is in response to the belief that if one wears red underwear, one will have the love they hope for, and if one wears yellow underwear, this year there will always be money in one's wallet.
When asked what she likes about Pro Mujer, she notes that the loan and the bimonthly payments are very comfortable for her.
La señora Amanda, presidenta de la banca comunal, indica que forma parte de la B.C. "Costeñitas" dos ciclos, aproximadamente un año, con un periodo de descanso entre el primer y segundo ciclo. Actualmente divorciada, madre de dos hijos, su negocio es la compra venta de ropa interior. Hace nueve años la señora Amanda perdió su trabajo, tiempo en el que decidió seguir el consejo de una amiga y viajar para traer ropa interior de Iquique ciudad en la costa Chilena y venderla de manera ambulante en instituciones privadas y públicas. Este negocio le permitió cuidar a sus hijos, su hogar, disponer de su tiempo de la mejor manera.
El crédito que ha solicitado le permitirá viajar a la ciudad de Iquique a recoger la mercadería que ya encargó para fin de año: ropa íntima de color rojo y amarillo, respondiendo a la creencia de que si uno viste ropa íntima de color rojo tendrá el amor esperado o si viste ropa en color amarillo este año no faltará el dinero en el bolsillo.
Cuando se le consulta que le gusta de Pro Mujer, ella comenta que el crédito y las cuotas quincenales le son muy cómodas.

Environmental Science Minor
The minor is a part of Cross Disciplinary Programs.
The environmental science minor is a cross disciplinary program that can be elected by any student. Students pursuing programs ranging from the physical, natural or social sciences, to education, journalism, or business could benefit from this broadly-based environmental curriculum. The program draws from courses that focus on the application of scientific concepts and principles to the understanding of environmental problems and their solutions. The minor draws upon the expertise of faculty in the areas of biology, chemistry, geography, physics, and integrated science and technology.
The environmental science minor:
- provides a scientific background to those students interested in environmental law, environmental economics and environmental sustainability.
- broadens the student's understanding of how sciences are linked to environmental questions.
- complements any major by focusing on courses related to environmental issues.
The minimum requirement for a minor in environmental science is 24 credit hours taken from four groups. Students wishing to complete more than one of the environmental minors (environmental management, environmental science and environmental studies) may receive dual credit for the capstone course (ENVT 400), but may not receive dual credit for any other courses that might be shared by the minors. Pre-approved study abroad and/or internship experiences may be substituted for one or more of the required courses. No more than two courses from a single subject area can count toward the completion of the Environmental Science minor. A score of four or greater in AP Environmental Science substitutes for GEOL 115 or ISAT 112.

Shad abundance has surged in four Chesapeake Bay rivers, surpassing restoration goals in the Potomac and Rappahannock. While shad populations are critically low along the Atlantic coast, scientists hope to see rising trends continue in these two waterways. Shad spend most of their adult lives in the ocean, migrating into freshwater rivers and streams to spawn. Their return brings food to the Bay in the form of protein-rich eggs, adult shad that can be captured during the spawn and a new generation of shad that can offer forage to striped bass, bluefish and other species as they return to the sea.
Once one of the most valuable fisheries in the Bay, shad populations have declined in recent decades due to pollution, historic overfishing and the construction of dams that block the fish from reaching their spawning grounds. The Bay Program tracks the abundance of American shad in the James, Potomac, Rappahannock, Susquehanna and York rivers as an indicator of watershed health. Collectively, these five waterways account for about 90 percent of the Bay's shad population, and each has its own population target.
Between 2000 and 2014, shad abundance in the Bay increased from 11 percent to 44 percent of the goal. The Potomac River has seen the most consistent rise in returning shad, but the Rappahannock has also seen notable highs. In 2014, abundance in the Potomac and Rappahannock reached 130 and 110 percent of the rivers' respective targets.
Scientists attribute these increases to a series of factors, including improvements in water quality; a resurgence in underwater grass beds; moratoriums on shad harvest; an increase in habitat available to migratory fish; stocking efforts that reprint fish to rivers and kick-start local populations; and the overall suitability of the Potomac, in particular, as shad habitat.
"The Potomac River shad population has surpassed its sustainability target," said Jim Cummins, director of living resources for the Interstate Commission on the Potomac River Basin and co-chair of the Bay Program's American Shad Indicator Action Team. "But we want to see recovery continue until a robust population is once again providing ecological benefits and supporting a fishery that includes some recreational harvest. Hopefully, in the not too distant future, anglers will be able to enjoy shad on the table and at the end of a line."
Shad abundance remains negligible in the upper James and Susquehanna and variable in the lower James and York. Some variability is natural, but the continued scarcity of shad in the upper James and Susquehanna can be attributed to large dams. Through the Chesapeake Bay Watershed Agreement, the Bay Program has committed to opening more stream miles to migratory fish and improving our capacity to understand the role forage fish populations play in the Bay ecosystem.
American eel numbers are up in the headwater streams of Shenandoah National Park, following the 2004 removal of a large downstream dam.
Significant increases in upstream American eel populations began two years after the Rappahannock River's Embrey Dam was removed and have continued nearly every year since, according to a report released last week by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) and National Park Service (NPS) researchers.

Dams can act as travel barriers to American eels, which undertake long-distance migrations from their ocean spawning grounds to freshwater streams along the Atlantic coast. While American eels can surpass substantial natural barriers--like the rapids of the Potomac River's Great Falls, for instance--dams pose a more difficult obstacle and have contributed to the widespread decline in American eel populations. Dam removal, therefore, could have long-term benefits for eel conservation.
"Our study shows that the benefits of dam removal can extend far upstream," said USGS biologist Nathanial Hitt. "American eels have been in decline for decades and so we're delighted to see them begin to return in abundance to their native streams."
Embrey Dam, which once provided hydroelectric power to Fredericksburg, Va., was breached in 2004 following years of work by nonprofit organizations and city, state and federal government agencies. Its removal was intended to benefit more than the American eel, however, as dams can impact a number of fish that must migrate up rivers to spawn.
"Shad, herring and striped bass are also using reopened habitat on the Rappahannock River," said Alan Weaver, fish passage coordinator for the Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries. "It's exciting to see a growing number of species benefiting from dam removal in Virginia."

On a brisk Saturday in October, 160 volunteers collect 3.5 tons of discarded children's toys, plastic bottles, crushed automobiles, and various other kinds of trash from their local Chesapeake Bay tributary, the Rappahannock River.
The volunteers, many of them students at the University of Mary Washington and Mountain View High School, are participants in a clean-up hosted by Friends of the Rappahannock, a non-profit advocacy, restoration and education organization based in Fredericksburg, Virginia.
Friends of the Rappahannock – also known as "River Friends" or "FOR" – hosts fall and spring clean-ups each year. But its environmental efforts span the entire year. From engaging at-risk youth in streamside restoration activities to helping residents construct rain gardens in their yards, FOR's volunteers are saving the Chesapeake Bay in a number of ways.
"We give people the chance to make a difference, to go home feeling that whatever they've done, they've made some type of positive impact," says John Tippett, FOR's executive director. "Providing a range of these fulfilling opportunities is what keeps our volunteers coming back."
FOR's diverse collection of volunteer programs are critical for a river so geographically expansive: the Rappahannock travels from the Blue Ridge Mountains to the Chesapeake Bay, transecting landscapes that range from agricultural (in the headwaters and tidewaters) to urban (near Fredericksburg).
Along the its course, the river experiences nearly every type of pollution pressure that can be found in Virginia: from livestock manure on farm fields to fertilizer from suburban lawns.
How does FOR help reduce these pollution pressures? The group's strategy varies from community to community. FOR takes into account the pollution source (anything from animal waste to fertilized lawns), but also considers the interests of residents, the involvement of local governments, and the availability of staff and volunteers.
"We strive to develop a variety of activities and volunteer opportunities to engage our members and other community members," explains Sarah Hagan, volunteer coordinator at FOR.
Here are a few of our favorite ways you can get involved with FOR:
Contact FOR to get involved today! And if you don't live near the Rappahannock, don't worry; there are plenty of small, volunteer-based watershed organizations throughout the Chesapeake Bay region that you can get involved with!

My husband didn't leave me physically but mentally, he was gone! But now that our daughter is here, I can't get her out of his arms! He does pretty much everything for our LO... except change poopy diapers. She has brought us closer together as husband and wife than we have EVER been. It's been pretty amazing.

Maybe we're a bit insulated on this board, though. Since most of the moms/dads posting here are planning to continue their pregnancies, hopefully that means that both parents are on board. I think we've had a few single moms and relationships that were already stressed beyond repair when pregnancy happened, but really, most of our guys are good eggs (they just get as scared as we do),
Amy, Mom to Emily (2000) and Abigail (2003 wiT21, partial AV canal, repaired)
No one I know of. I know one single mom, but her Ex BF signed away parental rights even before the DS dx was known.
For me, the birth of our daughter with DS has brought my husband and I even closer.

I would say that Phoenix's dx has brought us closer too. We had just started dating when we found out we were pregnant and the dx was at birth. We hadn't yet been together a year. But DF was fantastically supportive and always had faith in his daughter and that everythnig would be alright. And it has been.
Over the years we have seen a few here and there but this is definitely a small minority of situations where partner checks out after a prenatal diagnosis. I do not have the link handy, but the research on divorce indicates that of the three areas (no kids with special needs, a child with special needs not DS, and a child with DS), it was the third area (child with DS) which had the lowest dovorce rate. That having been said, we did do a blog post for single moms pregnant with a baby with DS and there are some comments on it:

Edit: thanks to the comments above and after realizing there is a bit of interest in my patch, decided to continue even though updates will slow down a lot. NEW VERSION IS UP Though!

"Barrow Creek, Joanne Lees' date with destiny." Barrow Creek by australia2
Barrow Creek Travel Guide: 11 reviews and 48 photos
It was at night in this lonely region, a little less than 300 kms north of Alice Springs, that British 'Kombi-driving backpacker', Peter Falconio, was ruthlessly murdered on the roadside. His British girlfriend, Joanne Lees, by almost a miracle, managed to escape from the murderer's bondage by desperately scrambling away and then hiding for many hours in the very dark, very cold, outback night scrub. The murderer had a companion dog.
She was still 'handcuffed', and injured. Strength of will, fear, and courage saved her from likely awful maltreatment. Most understandably absolutely terrified by that ordeal, Joanne had to then, over following weeks, cope with seemingly unsupportive treatment by the authorities and for a time deal with distasteful inferred accusations. Unknown to her she was in fact under suspicion herself. A suspect - not a victim.
In lack of knowledge they had travelled, heading north, on the lonely Stuart Highway after dark. Too lonely during those hours.
The Stuart cuts the centre of Australia - 'up the middle'.
The man found guilty much later, Bradley John Murdoch, 48, is now serving virtually a life sentence in Darwin's Berrima jail.* A minimum non-parole period of 28 years was set.
Coincidently (?) one year for every year of Peter's life.
(*Update. Murdoch was transferred to a jail at Alice Springs in '07. Perhaps to be more accessible to his elderly mother living in Perth. My guess, not official.)
He had been regularly drug-running between South Australia and West Australia's north-west coast for quite some time.
It took approximately 15 months for police to be rewarded for their immensely painstaking work in positively identifying, locating and then arresting him. He was firstly arrested in Port Augusta, in South Australia and charged with an alleged sordid crime in that state. Cleared, some say rather dubiously from that charge, he was immediately arrested by the Northern Territory police and charged by them on the Peter Falconio and Joanne Lees offences.
DNA was the 'clinching' factor in that identification and subsequent conviction. The DNA of a small bloodmark on Joanne's T-shirt belonged to Murdoch. Nonetheless, he is still protesting his innocence. **
Joanne and Peter's family, with the 2005 trial behind them and now back in England, unfortunately have never obtained the peace of mind of knowing where Peter's body was disposed of by the murderer.
It has not been found as of this date, March 2011.
An internet search under any of the above names brings many abridged versions of the story. At least three books have been published on the events which drew out to a span of almost four and a half years.
Of course, the most insightful of the books is the one written by Joanne herself.
I highly recommend them all to interested readers.
Also the excellent TV movie 'Murder in the Outback'.
I read Richard Shears' 'Bloodstain.' first, then Joanne's 'No Turning Back.' - a very good course to follow.
Update March '08. I have just finished reading the third of the major books on the incident. 'The Killer Within. Inside the world of Bradley John Murdoch.' by Paul Toohey. I am glad that I read this book and glad that I read it last. Most of the dialogue in two thirds of it is written in the coarse vernacular of 'Murdoch's world'. If he wanted to produce shock then he has succeeded. I had some trouble in persisting with it at first. It is 'rough'! If publishing time was back in the days of 'expletive deleted' the pages would be mostly blank ! The final section, dealing with the trial, is very well written and overall the book makes its unique type of contribution to the records of 'The Barrow Creek Incident'.
The unfinished records of 'The Barrow Creek Incident'.
One could categorise the three books listed as a form of trilogy.
I have been to all the relevant locations on my Australian travels, which brought a vivid sense of reality to me as I read them. (See Videos.)
Rest peacefully Pete, under Australian outback skies.
You are one of us by tragedy.
Squatting, curled up almost in a vertical foetal position under the branches of the scrub, Joanne used her black hair to cover her bare knees in front of her. Her hands though 'cuffed' were brought under her to her front but she could not free them. She was wearing sandals, shorts and a T-shirt. The clear outback night air was freezing cold. Moonless at that stage fortunately; a quarter waning moon emerged in the 'later' hours of the Sunday morning.
Joanne in shock and exhausted, was taken in the darkness by her deliverers, in the cabin of the three trailer Road Train, about 10 kilometres south, to safe refuge at the Barrow Creek pub. They arrived there at approximately 2 o'clock on the Sunday morning.
(This and the previous picture were taken by me with a standard analogue home tape video camera; poor quality video 'grabs'. I was the passenger for this part of our around Australia motor trip - 'down the middle.' That was well before that critical time. .... SEE MY 'BARROW CREEK' VIDEO CLIP HERE.)
** Update, Dec 24th, '07. An interesting twist has just occurred.
In England yesterday, in a completely seperate case there, a DNA opinion based on the 'low count' principle developed by the English expert who appeared in person as a key Crown witness in the Murdoch trial has been discredited.
Early reaction here is that this is unlikely to have any significent result regarding the Murdoch verdict. But ... (?)
- In a nutshell:No further comment.

Now You Can Buy a "Selfie Toaster" . . . It Burns Your Face Into Every Piece of Toast [Photo]
Posted July 18th, 2014 @ 5:15am
Well, looks like we're all toast in the future: http://t.co/E5SQIAWffr pic.twitter.com/cUjAFsIf3M
— Mashable (@mashable) July 17, 2014
There's no reason your vanity has to be limited to photographs. Let's get that face of yours onto more mediums ASAP.
A company in Vermont called Burnt Impressions is now selling a product called the SELFIE TOASTER . . . and yes, it burns an image of your face into every piece of toast.
You just send them a picture of yourself, and they custom-make your toaster.
It's only $75, which actually sounds cheap considering what you get. And it only takes them about a week to create and ship it.
At the same time . . . do you really want to eat YOUR OWN FACE? Is that vain . . . or just creepy?

Great Coffee Maker
This review is from: DeLonghi DCM900 10-Cup Seamless Brushed Aluminum Coffee Maker With Exclusive Dual Heating System
Pros: Very simple design. No clocks, just an on off button. Makes coffee real fast.
Cons: none
Other Thoughts: Bought it for the simplicity. I don't schedule the coffee to be made at a particular time so this worked out great. If you schedule coffee to brew this is not the coffee maker for you. Did I mention it made the coffee real fast?

Explore the Entrepreneurship.org Resource Center to find resources. Designed with entrepreneurs in mind, our resource center allows you to find materials to grow great ideas.
Most people are motivated more by the work they do and the environment in which they work than by the money they earn. Therefore, the compensation and reward systems you offer to employees should include both monetary and non-monetary ideas.
Entrepreneurs will find a host of business-building resources at nearby colleges and universities, among them books, brains and bodies, writes the author. Scour the libraries for printed materials, tap faculty for consulting jobs, and marshall students for research and staffing needs, he advises. In summing up, he offers valuable tips for getting acquainted and making the best use of campus resources.
In today's extremely tight labor market, small-company employers must approach hiring just as they approach selling. To lure able and enthusiastic candidates, the author writes, a CEO should consider such steps as contacting reluctant candidates personally, offering equity compensation to augment salaries, and sending welcoming gifts like fruit baskets. Of particular note is a discussion of factors the author says "count" in the sales-whoops!-the hiring process.
If you think hiring is tough in today's tight labor market, you should figure that retaining people is even tougher. To keep employees, small-company owners must provide more than just competitive compensation packages, the author writes. What really makes the difference is a CEO's ability to communicate an organizational vision and to recognize the people who translate that vision into revenue and profit.
Entrepreneurs, in particular, are having troubles with today's widespread age-disconnect between managers and employees. The many twentysomethings who are launching companies these days hire workers who are both younger and older than they are, writes the author, a frequent EntreWorld contributor. She maintains that to manage this so-called "generation gap," you'll need to build a common understanding based on your company's values.
Entrepreneurs of a certain age need to accommodate the changes in attitude on the part of the younger generation or risk becoming dinosaurs, writes the author, who turned to entrepreneurship after a career in the U.S. Army and at a major corporation. Today's young people are technologically savvy, casual about dress and deportment, and forward about expecting to advance at a younger age, he says. He includes tips for adjusting one's management style to help -- rather than change -- the new generation.
When Michele McGeoy sold her first software start-up, she thought she was doing the best thing for her stakeholders. But, a few years later the new owners resold the company out of state, leaving her and her employees out of work. Having lost control by giving up ownership, McGeoy found a better solution for her next venture: She empowered employees by making them stakeholders and created a culture that promotes healthy growth.

So I've got a just over a year old Novara Randonee tourer that I use to commute on. My normal load is me (215 +-) plus a ThinkPad, toolkit and some clothes in panniers on the rear rack. The rest of the bike is dead stock plus pedals, lighting, and fenders.
About 2 months ago I broke the first spoke on the rear - drive side leading spoke. This week I broke the next one over, drive side trailing (pulling). So I've now used up the 2 spares that came on the bike (mounted on the chainstay). While I've done everything I can to true it (dead true) and even up the tension on the spokes by feel - still I figure it's just a matter of time until the next one goes. I just figure that's the deal once I've broken 2 spokes on a wheel, which I have now done on 3 of my 4 wheelsets on the bikes I own.
The wheel itself is a Tiagra hub, laced 3x with 14ga straight stainless spokes (36 of 'em), to Mavic A319 rims. My thought is to respoke it (as my first wheel build) after I get a tensiometer and truing stand - which I plan in the next couple of months.
Is this a good idea?
Is there some other (cheap) wheel I should consider for the rear?
Consider swapping the hub or rim while I've got it apart?
Am I crazy to try a heavily loaded rear as my first project?

Oklahoma crime briefs for Jan. 24
Crime briefs
Shooting victim is identified
A house sitter who was shot and killed in south Oklahoma City has been identified, police said Wednesday. Jason N. Martinez, 27, was found dead at 6916 S Shartel Ave. about 1:25 a.m. Tuesday by the homeowner. Anyone with information is asked to call the homicide tip line at 297-1200.
Life ordered in fatal shooting
A judge sentenced a man Wednesday to life in prison for killing a man in a convenience store parking lot, rejecting a defense attorney's plea for leniency. Oklahoma County District Judge Donald L. Deason also sentenced Joseph C. Young, 22, of Oklahoma City, to 15 years for wounding another man during a confrontation. Dejoun Chamberless, 18, was found shot to death Dec. 17 outside Express Gas and Grocery, 6221 W Wilshire Blvd. A jury convicted Young last month of first-degree murder and assault and battery with a deadly weapon. He apologized to the victim's mother, who expressed forgiveness.
Man gets life in woman's death
A man received a life sentence Wednesday for killing his girlfriend in front of her three children. A jury convicted Noel Montes Sosa, 33, of first-degree murder in the strangulation death of Sarita Aguilar, 27. Aguilar was found dead about 2:30 a.m. July 10, 2011, in her apartment after police were called about a disturbance. Key testimony in the case came from Aguilar's mother, who told jurors her 7-year-old granddaughter told her she watched as Sosa choked her mother. Sosa's attorney told District Judge Ray C. Elliott that her client maintains his innocence and will appeal his conviction. Sosa must serve 38.3 years in prison before he is eligible for parole, and will be deported to his native Honduras when released.
Reward set in shooting death
The family of a slain pregnant woman is seeking help from the public to bring her killer to justice. Amber Stokke, 22, was shot and killed in her car just outside her home in The Village nearly two weeks ago. Police said they have no new leads or suspects. A witness told police two black males were involved — one shot Stokke, and the other watched and fled with the shooter. Stokke's family is offering $5,000 for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the person responsible for the Jan. 10 shooting.
Son sought in beating death
A man is in custody in connection with the death of a 56-year-old Tulsa woman, and police say they are looking for the victim's 17-year-old son as a second suspect. Officer Jillian Roberson said Josiah Sklar, 19, was arrested early Wednesday in connection with the death of Linda Laird. Relatives found Laird's body in her house Tuesday morning. Sklar told investigators he was inside Linda Laird's house when Hank Laird beat his mother with the butt of a shotgun, police said. Sklar sought no medical attention for the woman. He is being held on suspicion of first-degree murder in her death.

I saw an interesting doco on SBS the other night about assisted euthanasia. It followed the events leading up to an elderly man who's health was on a downhill run and his decision to end his own life at a special fascility in Amsterdam.
Like the man in the doco, I don't want to be a burden to anyone when I get to the stage where I can't look after myself. I know where to go and what to do now when that time comes.

Beijinhos De Coco (Coconut Kisses)
In a large mixing bowl, beat the egg yolks. Using the dull side of a knife, scrape the seeds from the vanilla bean halves. Add the seeds and empty vanilla bean pod to the eggs. Add the milk and butter. Stir.
Heat this mixture slowly, by setting the bowl atop a large pot filled with simmering water. (Note: The bowl should rest on the rim of the pot and make sure that the bottom of the pot is suspended above the simmering water.) Whisk the ingredients steadily, checking their temperature with the instant-read thermometer. When the mixture reaches 140 degrees, it is ready.
Remove the vanilla bean pod and then add the unsweetened coconut into the warm mixture. Stir until it is incorporated. (The mixture should have appearance and consistency of the filling of an Almond Joy candy bar.) Allow the mixture to cool just enough to handle. If the mixture is too cool, it will be difficult to shape the kisses. Use about 1 Tablespoon of the dough per kiss and shape to form little pyramids or little spheres. Place the shaped kisses on a platter and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. While the kisses chill, melt the chocolate. Pour the chocolate bits into another large bowl and suspending it over the simmering water in the same manner, as for the coconut mixture.
When the chocolate is melted, pour a small amount into a shallow cup. With a fork (a cocktail or fondue fork works great), gently skewer each chilled kiss and dip it into the chocolate. Once coated with chocolate, quickly roll the kiss in the chopped almonds. Continue this process until all the kisses have been dipped and rolled. Return the kisses to the refrigerator and chill for 20 minutes. When the chocolate is set, the kisses are ready to serve. When stored in an airtight container in the pantry, the kisses will keep up to a week.

With barely two weeks until Election Day, a prominent civil rights lawyer urged black people in Vancouver to unleash the power of their influence by voting — and by making sure their entire community votes.
"We are under attack," Carol D. Powell Lexing told a tristate conference of the NAACP — the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People — during her keynote address at the Hilton Vancouver Washington on Saturday night. "I don't know whether it is the resurrection of Jim Crow, but being what we call the dirty South, it just seems like this is a never-ending saga."
Over the past two years, Lexing said, 25 state laws and two executive actions have successfully limited the power of people to vote. Those are by and large minority people, Lexing said, and the tools being used to limit their influence are everything from photo-identification requirements at the polls to curtailment of early voting on weekends.
Lexing called those laws "schemes and strategies to limit your power" — but she also noted some victories against those restrictions. The most notable one, she said, is in swing state Ohio, which tried to ban weekend voting for all but members of the military. A lower court overturned the law, the Ohio Secretary of State requested that the U.S. Supreme Court take the case, and that final arbiter of justice rendered a one-sentence verdict Oct. 16: "Your request is hereby denied."
That line drew applause and whoops from the audience. Lexing welcomed their enthusiasm, but cautioned them not to stop there. "We have to go out there and instruct the community about the power that lies within us," she said. "We have to get everybody to the polls."
Lexing also drew applause as she described her own efforts to fight racism in her home state. She represented the "Jena Six," a group of black high school students who were accused of attempted murder after an assault amid a background of ongoing racial tensions and incidents in Jena, La.; their handling by the criminal justice system has been criticized as discriminatory and racist, with the attempted second-degree murder charges eventually reduced to simple battery.
Lexing said the Jena Six are by and large college students or working now — "all very productive young men in society," she said.
City Councilman Jack Burkman welcomed the NAACP convention to Vancouver by describing some of the city's best attractions, then launched into a similar sermon about persistent racism and voting. He pointed out that an anti-Obama protest in Camas took the form of an empty chair hanged from a tree — which many saw as recalling the lynchings of the Jim Crow South.
"We like to think all our racial, bias, power issues are behind us now," Burkman said. "But that publicly, visibly brought those issues back to the forefront."
The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, perhaps the premier civil rights organization in the nation, was formed in 1909; the Vancouver chapter was founded in 1945. To learn more, visit http://naacpvanc.org.
The tristate conference — bringing together NAACP members from Washington, Oregon and Alaska — included workshops and talks on topics like equity in health and education; voting rights and political engagement; and environmental and climate justice. The theme: "Your Power, Your Decision, Your Vote."
According to the 2010 Census, the city of Vancouver has 161,791 residents, and 4,763 (2.9 percent) of them are black.

Is there such a thing? Logic tells me that yes, there is. I do not pretend to have anything more than a rudimentary understanding of anatomy/physiology/chemistry, but I assume that eating sugar, especially in large, concentrated amounts, releases endorphins and/or other feel-good chemicals into my bloodstream. When regular, repeated doses are suddenly stopped, my body reacts in a noticeable way.
That's just my non-researched hypothesis... someone please correct me if I'm wrong.
In any case, after spending two weeks gorging on leftover Halloween candy, mostly in the form of bite-size chocolate bars, I found myself craving something sweet this afternoon in the most godawful way. I also developed a headache that felt identical to the sort of discomfort that I feel later in the day if I don't get my morning coffee.
Has anyone else here experienced this phenomenon? I'm not being flippant... I was truly taken aback by my body's reaction to the sudden withdrawal of what had become a daily fix for two weeks. I would also like to read about coping strategies - what do you do to satisfy your sweet tooth? I'd really like to know because it seems that my jaw is full of them, and sweets have been my downfall since adolescence.
Thanks in advance for any and all replies!
Ride safe.

Ex-'Mountain Man' to be sentenced on drug charge
HELENA, Mont. (AP) — The past is catching up to a former medical marijuana dispensary security guard who is better known for kidnapping a world-class athlete in the 1980s to make her his mountain bride.
Dan Nichols is facing sentencing Thursday for his role in providing security for Montana Cannabis, a large medical marijuana operation that was raided in a 2011 federal crackdown.
A federal prosecutor cited Nichols' history as a reason to give Nichols a prison sentence at the top of the guideline range, which is 57 to 71 months.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Joseph Thaggard said Nichols has a violent history and is a recidivist.
"The Defendant is simply a very different person than anyone else involved in this case. He has a history of violent behavior, is at risk to commit future crimes, and is not amenable to supervision," Thaggard wrote in his sentencing memo.
Besides the full 71-month sentence, Thaggard is requesting Nichols be ordered to pay $288,000.
Nichols' attorney argues that Nichols was just a security guard and played no role in the decision-making in the operation. A three-year sentence is more appropriate for Nichols' guilty plea of conspiracy to maintain a drug-involved premises, attorney Chad Wright wrote.
The decision will be up to U.S. District Judge Dana Christensen Thursday in Missoula.
Nichols was the younger half of a father-son duo dubbed "The Mountain Men" who kidnapped biathlete Keri Swenson in 1984. His father, Don Nichols, killed a man who tried to rescue her, while Dan Nichols accidently shot Swenson and left her to die. Swenson survived, but with diminished lung capacity from the gunshot wound.
Dan Nichols, who was 20 at the time, was convicted of kidnapping and misdemeanor assault and received a 10-year prison sentence. His father remains in prison after being convicted of killing would-be rescuer Alan Goldstein.
Dan Nichols was Montana Cannabis' security guard and slept in a trailer behind the operation's greenhouse outside Helena, where hundreds of marijuana plants grew in plain sight of U.S. Highway 12.
It was one of 26 locations targeted in March 14, 2011, federal raids of large marijuana operations across the state. Nichols was not immediately arrested, and that summer he fled from Jefferson County sheriff's deputies who busted an apparent drug deal Nichols was making at an outdoor concert, prosecutors said.
Nichols remained on the run until May, when U.S. marshals aided by the Butte-Silver Bow sheriff's office arrested Nichols in a Butte parking lot after tracking his movements in southwestern Montana.
Besides Nichols, the four partners in Montana Cannabis were arrested.
Three pleaded guilty to drug charges. Lobbyist Tom Daubert and attorney Chris Lindsey both received probation sentences and no jail time. Partner Richard Flor of Miles City received a five-year prison sentence but died within a few months of his incarceration.
The fourth partner, Chris Williams, went to trial and was found guilty of eight drug and weapons charges. He struck an unusual post-conviction plea agreement with prosecutors that reduced his possible prison time from more than 80 years to a mandatory minimum of five years.
Williams' sentencing is scheduled for Feb. 1, but his attorney, federal public defender Michael Donahoe, has requested to withdraw from the case.
Williams has been consulting with another attorney and Donahoe believes Williams has lost all confidence in him, Donahoe wrote in his request for a hearing on the matter.
If Williams can afford an attorney or the attorney is willing to work for free, then he doesn't need a public defender, Donahoe wrote.
But there is nothing complex about Williams' upcoming sentencing, and if the new attorney is telling him something different, "then shame on him for impeding the administration of justice and giving Mr. Williams false hope," Donahoe wrote.
Williams wrote to Christensen in a handwritten letter from jail that he wanted guidance from the judge on how to proceed.
"The extraordinary circumstances of this case do warrant taking additional legal advice and possible new legal counsel," he wrote.
