Their highly accurate texts were created without seeing the scrolls and they shattered secrecy created by a cabal of scholars who for decades restricted other researchers' and translators' access to the ancient documents.
Steve Rosen's recent Page 1 story in the Enquirer got that right. The other scoop was my 1991 Enquirer story reporting Wacholder and Abegg's triumph. Our photo showed visually impaired Wacholder looking at a dramatically enlarged image on a Mac.
Their ordeal had its origin in a promise by then-HUC president Nelson Glueck in 1969. He agreed to house 1000-plus photographic images of the scrolls lest something happen to the originals. He also agreed with scholars controlling access to the scrolls that no one else would see the HUC negatives while the original scrolls existed.
That included Wacholder. To his frustration, HUC honored that promise even after Glueck's death and despite the growing international controversy over restricted scholarly access to many of the original scrolls.
Today's Biblical Archaeology Society website, biblicalarchaeology.org, recalled how Wacholder and Abegg got lucky in 1989. Chief editor of the scrolls John Strugnell sent a copy of a secret concordance of the Dead Sea Scrolls to Wacholder. It "consisted of photocopies of index cards on which every word in the unpublished scrolls was listed, including its location and the few words surrounding it." It was their Rosetta Stone.
Wacholder and Abegg programmed the Mac to apply their knowledge of ancient literature to the data in the concordance. "I'm sick and tired of all this waiting," he told me at the time.
In 1991, the society's Biblical Archaeology Review published the reconstructions, breaking the more-than-40-year-old monopoly on the scrolls.
And when jealous scholars challenged the accuracy of the reconstructions, Wacholder was dismissive. "I'll match my knowing of the . . . texts - even blind — any of them.
Wacholder died last year. Abegg became professor and co-director of the Dead Sea Scrolls Institute at Trinity Western University in British Columbia.
• I've described my fear that the Cleveland Plain Dealer — long Ohio's best daily — will follow other Advance Publications into print obscurity. PD journalists also heard the clatter of bean counters and created the Save The Plain Dealer campaign. Earlier this year, Advance — another name for Newhouse family publications — the New Orleans Times-Picayune as a traditional daily. It fired lots of journalists and now is printed three days a week to accommodate heavy advertising. Surviving journalists also work online every day. With that innovation, Newhouse made New Orleans America's largest city without a daily paper. Smaller Advance dailies suffered the same fate. Poynter.com quoted an email from PD science writer John Mangels earlier this month:
"The multimedia campaign will begin Sunday with a half-page ad in The Plain Dealer, to be followed by bus and billboard ads throughout the city. TV and radio ads will appear soon. There will be mass mailings and e mailings to elected officials, political and business leaders and other people of influence. We'll have a Facebook page with an abundance of content, a petition on Change.org, and a Twitter feed. We're also working to organize community forums where we'll discuss the future of journalism in Northeast Ohio, and the potential impact of the loss of the daily paper and much of its experienced newsgathering staff."
Later, reached by phone, Mangels told Poynter that PD management hasn't said anything about Advance's plans. "The only detail that we've been told by our bosses here is that major changes are coming, layoffs in some number are coming," Mangels said.
• Have you noticed how GOP aspirants for the 2016 presidential nomination are using long-reviled mainstream news media (MSM) to distance themselves from Romney and his disdain for retirees, veterans, Hispanics, African Americans, and young adults? I love the GOP's irony deficit. They've spent decades teaching True Believers that the MSM is an evil, liberal cabal, not to be trusted. Now, these same Republican 40-somethings want voters to believe what the mainstream news media tell them about their aspirations and sagacity. They're also fleeing Romney's transparent hypocrisy and its blowback; benefits to Democratic constituencies are meant to buy votes but benefits for GOP constituencies never, ever should be understood as a way to woo financial support or votes.
• Here's an angle I haven't encountered in post-election coverage: an almost inevitable GOP win in 2016. Not only is a second elected term unusual for modern Democratic presidents, but a third term for either party is rare. Since FDR in 1940, only popular Republican Ronald Reagan was succeeded by a Republican, George H. W. Bush. I'm not alone if my reading to liberal columnists is a fair indicator of grudging agreement. They want Obama to push through agendas they've advocated for the past four years and to find the cajones to fight for his nominations when they go before the Senate led by Kentucky Pride Mitch McConnell.
• Propaganda-laden cable news and TV/radio talk shows can lull angry, fearful partisans and voters into believing what facts refute. And I mean refute not rebut. Anything out of sync with those GOP media was rejected as MSM bias. Whether it was a Pavlovian response, delusional thinking or magical realism, the result was Republican candidates, consultants, strategists, voters and Fox News were stunned when state after state went for Obama. Carl Rove went into a spin of denial on Fox News as election returns came in; he believed what Fox News had been telling him for months: Romney in a walk. What was that cliche, something about drinking the Kool-aid?
• This from Eric Alterman in his What Liberal Media? column in The Nation: "They watched Fox News, read The Wall Street Journal, clicked on Drudge and the Daily Caller, and listened to the likes of Rush Limbaugh, Hugh Hewitt, Karl Rove, Dick Morris and Peggy Noonan promise them that their Kenyan/Muslim/socialist/terrorist nightmare was nearly over. One election was all that stood between them and a country without capital gains taxes, pollution regulation, healthcare mandates, gay marriage and abortions for rape victims."
Alterman continued: "The less wonderful irony involves the supporting role the mainstream media played in this un-reality show. Post-truth politics reached a new pinnacle this year as major MSM machers admitted to a lack of concern with the veracity of the news their institutions reported. 'It's not our job to litigate [the facts] in the paper,' New York Times national editor Sam Sifton told the paper's public editor, Margaret Sullivan, regarding phony Republican 'voter fraud' allegations. 'We need to state what each side says.' 'The truth? C'mon, this is a political convention' was the headline over a column by Glenn Kessler, the Washington Post 'fact-checker.' Yes, you read that right."
How bad was it? Alterman quoted Steve Benen, a blogger and Rachel Maddow Show producer. He "counted fully 917 false statements made by Mitt Romney during 2012. Just about the truest words to come out of the campaign were those of the Romney pollster who explained, 'We're not going to let our campaign be dictated by fact-checkers.' But not only did many members of the MSM give Romney a pass on his serial lying; they actually endorsed his candidacy on the assumption that we need not take seriously any of those statements the candidate had felt compelled to make in order to win the nomination of his party."
• In the expanding universe of online calumny, few American public officials or public figures strike back big time in part because of broad First Amendment protections available to defamers. British libel law makes it much easier for the victim to win. The latest target of false online vilification is Lord Alistair McAlpine. BBC implicated but didn't name him in its spreading child abuse scandal. However, so little was left to the imagination that in Britain's media/politics hothouse that McAlpine was named in myriad tweets.
BBC quickly admitted error and paid him almost $300,000 to salve his bruised feelings. ITV — Britain's Independent Television — followed BBC with apology and more than $200,000 for inadvertently accusing McAlpine of abusing children.
McAlpine is offering to accept a tweeted apology and modest payment from most of the tweeters. He's less forgiving of 20 members of Parliament, journalists and other public officials and figures. They probably face costly libel actions in a country where it's almost impossible for a defendant to win.
• Assume every microphone in front of you is "on." You don't warm up with "There once was a man from Nantucket . . . " on the assumption that mic is dead. Myriad public figures have ignored that Law of the Jungle to their pain. The latest is Jonathan Sacks, Orthodox chief rabbi of Great Britain, who delivers a "Thought for the Day" regularly on BBC radio's Today program.
Here's the Telegraph report and another statement from the overworked BBC apology machine. After Sacks finished and apparently assumed his mic was turned off, host Evan Davis asked, "Jonathan, before you go, you know, any thoughts on what's going on over in Israel and Gaza at the moment?"
Lord Sacks sighed, before replying: "I think it has got to do with Iran, actually."
Cohost Sarah Montague realized Sacks did not seem to know his remarks were being broadcast and she could be heard to whisper: "We, we're live."
Lord Sacks adopted a more formal broadcasting manner and suggested the crisis demanded "a continued prayer for peace, not only in Gaza but for the whole region. No-one gains from violence. Not the Palestinians, not the Israelis. This is an issue here where we must all pray for peace and work for it."
Later, BBC apologized for catching Sacks off-guard. A spokesman said: "The Chief Rabbi hadn't realized he was still on-air and as soon as this became apparent, we interjected. (Host) Evan likes to be spontaneous with guests but he accepts that in this case it was inappropriate and he has apologized to Lord Sacks. The BBC would reiterate that apology."
• So far, I haven't found a news angle beyond prurience in the Petraeus resignation. Yes, there could have been a national security issue, but once then-spymaster Petraeus went public about his extramarital affair, he couldn't be blackmailed. We'll never know how well the CIA would have run under Petraeus, but turning it further into an almost unaccountable paramilitary force with its fleet of deadly drones killing Americans abroad and others would not have been in the national interest. We need a good spy agency. Killing people you're trying to subvert and convert is a lousy game plan.
• Admiring and available women are no stranger to powerful public and corporate leaders. Generals are no exception. Neither are social climbers hoping to use them. All that's missing from the Petraeus soap opera is for some just-married junior officer to claim his general exercised droit du seigneur.
• We can wonder what their frequently mentioned Lebanese origins have to do with the Tampa twins' roles in the Petraeus soap opera, or whether Paula's arms are fitter and better displayed than Michele's. After that, let's get to the fun stuff: the ease with which law enforcement obtains our emails.
• And
a belated Thanksgiving note. Somehow, I found a turkey on the
Copperbelt in Central Africa where I was editing the new daily Zambia
Times. I did my best to explain how to roast it with stuffing to the
cook in the house I was caring for. He served it that evening with
obvious pride. It was brown, roasted over open coal on a spit he'd
tended for hours. The stuffing was special beyond my dreams: the
sonofabitch had used the kosher salami I'd hoarded for months for
stuffing. I thanked and praised him through clenched teeth and dug in.
It was memorable. And awful.
The case of a
former Miami University student who pleaded guilty to disorderly
conduct for posting a "Top Ten Ways to Get Away with Rape" flier in a
dormitory bathroom just keeps getting more controversial.
The controversy began Nov. 8, when Butler County Area 1 Court Judge Robert Lyons took the guilty plea and ordered all record of the case — including the defendant's name — sealed from public view. The MU police chief says he is bound by Lyons' order and can't release the name. The Butler County Prosecuting Attorney's office did not object to the sealing of the file.
The Cincinnati Enquirer entered the picture six days later. It sued Lyons in the Ohio Supreme Court, saying he sealed the file without giving the newspaper a chance to argue for public access. In his answer — filed by the Prosecuting Attorney's office on Dec. 13 — Lyons stood by his actions. Furthermore, he wrote that "there was no plea" in the case.
Now we know where that came from. On that very same day, the case was back in Lyons court for reconsideration. This time, prosecutors agreed to drop the charge, and Lyons ruled it so. And, once again, he sealed the file, and no one present objected. The Enquirer reported on the dismissal Wednesday.
Prosecuting Attorney Mike Gmoser won't say why he agreed to dropping the charge until the Supreme Court case is over. "Save that question, and I will give you a full and detailed statement," he told CityBeat. "I don't try cases in the press."
Gmoser said he is asking the Supreme Court to dismiss the Enquirer's suit because the issue at hand is "moot."

Hurricane Sandy slammed the East Coast last night. At least 16 people are believed to have died from the storm, and as many as 7.5 million were left without power. Areas of New York and New Jersey also faced major flooding. It took until 4:30 a.m. for Sandy to go from hurricane to tropical storm.
The Anna Louise Inn will be in court at 9 a.m. today arguing in front of the First District Court of Appeals, which could overturn a May ruling and allow the Inn to move forward with its renovation. CityBeat will have online coverage for the hearing later today.
Hamilton County's probation department is facing sexual harassment charges. The charges are coming from a county worker who said her promotion was denied due to her actions "for opposing discrimination and encouraging others to exercise their right to be free from acts of discrimination."
The Coalition Opposed to Additional Spending and Taxes filed a lawsuit Friday in an attempt to reverse the August reworking of the Blue Ash airport deal. For COAST, the lawsuit is mostly to stall or stop the financing for the $110 million Cincinnati streetcar.
City Council will vote next week to decide whether the city should borrow $37 million to fund development projects and a portion of the Homeless to Homes program. But Homeless to Homes is generating some concern due to its requirement to move three shelters.
Three Cincinnati charity groups are coming together to help veterans with disabling injuries. The organizations will pool available resources to hopefully find jobs for veterans.
Mitt Romney is running a new ad against President Barack Obama in Ohio that says Chrysler is moving Jeep production to China. The ad, which Chrysler says is false, warranted a snarky response from the car company: "Despite clear and accurate reporting, the take has given birth to a number of stories making readers believe that Chrysler plans to shift all Jeep production to China from North America, and therefore idle assembly lines and U.S. workforce. It is a leap that would be difficult even for professional circus acrobats." The Obama team also responded with its own ad. It is somewhat understandable Romney would be getting a bit desperate at this point in the race. Ohio is widely considered the most important swing state, but aggregate polling has Romney down 1.9 points in the state. Romney is up 0.9 points nationally.
State Republicans are refusing to pull an ad that accuses William O'Neill, Democratic candidate for the Ohio Supreme Court, of expressing "sympathy for rapists." This is despite the fact that Justice Robert Cupp, O'Neill's Republican opponent, has distanced himself from the ad. At this point, even the most nonpartisan, objectives watchers have to wonder why the Republican Party can't keep rape out of its messaging. In comments aired first on Aug. 19, U.S. Senate candidate Todd Akin of Missouri said on pregnancy after rape, "If it's a legitimate rape, the female body has ways to try to shut that whole thing down." On Oct. 23, Richard Mourdock, the Senate candidate for Indiana, said, "I struggled with it myself for a long time, but I came to realize that life is that gift from God. And, I think, even when life begins in that horrible situation of rape, that it is something that God intended to happen."
Ohio is getting closer to the health exchange deadline with no plan in sight. Obamacare asks states to take up health exchanges that act as competitive markets for different health insurance plans. States are allowed to either accept, let the federal government run the exchanges or take a hybrid approach. As part of the health exchanges, the federal government will also sponsor a heavily regulated nonprofit plan that sounds fairly similar to the public option liberals originally wanted in Obamacare.
Meanwhile, Ohio and other states still haven't decided whether they will be expanding their Medicaid programs. In the past, state officials have cited costs as a big hurdle, but one study from Arkansas found Medicaid expansions actually saved money by reducing the amount of uncompensated care. Some states that expanded Medicaid also found health improvements afterward.
An inspector at the Ohio Department of Education (ODE) was caught not doing her job. The inspector was supposed to do 128 site visits for in-person safety inspections, but she apparently never showed up to some of the schools and filed fraudulent reports.

After three nights of arrests, Occupy Cincinnati protesters Sunday night chose to leave Piatt Park at its 10 p.m. closing time and march on the sidewalks around the park. Eleven members were arrested Saturday night for staying on the square after a rally past the 3 a.m. time allowed by its permit. The group is still waiting for a federal judge to rule on whether or not Piatt Park's 10 p.m. closing time is a violation of the First Amendment.
Chicago Police arrested 130 Occupy Chicago protesters over the weekend, and the group plans to picket Mayor Rahm Emanuel's office in response. Protesters described harsh treatment by police, with some spending more than 24 hours in jail. The picketing at City Hall will reportedly include a nurse's union in response to two nurses and a union organizer being arrested while volunteering at Occupy Chicago.
Streetcar proponents have spent considerably more on their campaign than the anti-streetcar people, probably because Issue 48 is so wide-reaching it has brought out people concerned with things way more important than the streetcar such as regional planning, commuter rail and making Cincinnati not look like it totally sucks.
Also being outspent are the SB 5 supporters, who have seen support decline dramatically in recent weeks as people look around their neighborhoods and see a bunch of regular people whose rights would be taken away. And Building a Better Ohio does unethical things like this, which makes people think they are meanies.
Here's a blog about City Council candidate Chris Smitherman arguing against all the legal experts who say Issue 48 will block all rail construction through 2020.
Headline: "Stadium tax rebate favors wealthy." Analysis: "No shit." Owners of the county's most-expensive homes reportedly receive more savings from the property tax rollback than they pay in the sales tax increase that was supposed to pay for the sports stadiums. An Enquirer analysis of last year's property tax payout found that the half-cent sales tax increase amounts to a maximum of $192 annually, while some high-value homeowners received tax rebates of $1,175 or more.
• Million-dollar homes account for less than 1 percent of households, yet they received nearly 5 percent of the total rebates — or one out of every $20 paid out.
• One out of four homeowners - those with a home worth $200,000 or more - got $8.8 million in rebates - more than half the total rollback.
• The median Hamilton County homeowner with a property worth $106,700 is eligible to get a $50.15 rebate under the rollback.
• The 132 Hamilton County homeowners with houses worth $2.5 million or more get at least $1,175 apiece.
• Property owners with homes worth $150,000 or less account for nearly six out of 10 households, but collectively they received less than 23 percent of the benefits.
County commissioners have four days to tell the auditor to go ahead and tax homeowners at the previous rate, but Chris Monzel and Todd Portune are up for reelection this year and won't dare change take it away from the powerful rich people.
[Correction: Monzel is not up for reelection.]
Said former commissioner David Pepper:"At its core, the property tax rollback creates a reverse-Robin Hood scheme, where middle-class homeowners and renters are not only the ones paying for the stadium, but also footing the bill for a tax break for high-value property owners. Those high-end property owners are not paying for the stadium at all."
Since the late 1980s, Cincinnati's homeless population has included a growing number of families with children
Cincinnati is once again planning to reduce, limit and even eliminate services for the most vulnerable in our community as a time when people with money are struggling. Those people who called "less fortunate" at religious services are supposedly preventing downtown from developing to its full potential.
There was a period of time in U.S history, roughly for 30 years after the Civil War, known as "the Gilded Age." The American economy grew at an unprecedented rate as the nation transformed itself from an agrarian society into an industrial one.
But the transformation's downside included excessive displays of wealth and captains of industry who grew their fortunes on the backs of exploited and mistreated workers. The government ignored the situation, as the era gave rise to the concept of "social Darwinism."

Tallahassee, FL - His plan to fix the economy and get people back to work won Governor-Elect Rick Scott a chance to make good on his promises.
"Let's get to work!"
Scott says he can create 700-thousand jobs in seven years. State economists say a million jobs will be created in the same period of time because of the natural peaks and valleys of the economic cycle.
Robert Weissert with Florida TaxWatch says despite the report, Scott and newly elected GOP leaders will still have a vital role to play in the recovery. Weissert says, "They do have a huge role in making sure we have the right business environment. That's incredible important for all elected officials to be focused on."
But whether it's Scott or the cyclical economy creating jobs, Florida's 1.1 million unemployed have a rough row to hoe. Students at Florida State University says seven years is too long. John Cleleand will graduate in less that four years.
Cleland, an FSU freshman, says, "It's definitely difficult, like I've been looking for jobs. I've had jobs. It's definitely difficult to get a job."
Ugandan student James Arinitwe will need a job after graduation to stay in the States.
Arinitwe, an FSU graduate student, "It worries me a lot, especially for me graduating as an international student. We have that window to get a job. If you don't get a job you have to go back home."
But once the recovery starts, economists expect gains in the job market to be expediential.

I'm looking for a kids bike seat we saw on a tandem on a trail. It was somewhat a normal seat, with a back like a miniature recumbent seat, and a seatbelt. The particular one we saw, had about a 2-3 y.o. child on it.
We have a son that is mentally handicapped, and he is quickly outgrowing his trailer. He loves riding on our Burley trail a bike tandem attachment, but I fear he'll fall off!
Any ideas or suggestions?

Over exaggerating or is it true?
Bookmark this and check back on what you wrote 6 weeks post partum sweetie
I'm pretty positive once you go 6 weeks running on little to no sleep your not gonna use that one hour of free time to shower
You'll be sleeping
Mother to ~Noah~ my angel who left this earth at 9 days old, Joseph my 32 week Rainbow and Baby #3 coming May 27th 2013
For me, I think that exhaustion begat exhaustion and the overall effect was that I turned crazy for the first few weeks. My milk didn't come in for almost five days, DD cluster fed for HOURS on end (at one point she was latched for four straight hours when she was a few days old). SHe also loss about 11% of her birth weight those few days which gave me crazy anxiety. She was fussy, her days and nights were mixed up. She would want to eat all night long but in the day time was a really hard sleeper in her early days and I could not wake her up to eat and I was already obsessed with making sure she ate every two hours, so I was convinced that there was something wrong with her because she didn't want to eat. I literally was ready to go to the ER for everything (it also was extremely hot here in MA, in mid March the week after she was born so I was convinced that she was dehydrating). I had no concept of time, I forgot to eat or drink (which compounded my supply issue) and forget about taking a shower for those first few days. It was the worst. I cried all the time, and poor DH tried to help but he only seemed to make things worse (but when you are so exhausted you aren't truly logical). DH suggested formula for one feeding so I could get an extra hour of sleep and I had the largest meltdown believing I had already failed as a mother. I was jealous of all the moms who had "good sleeper/good eater/perfect newborns. My cousin had her third baby three days after me, and let me tell you I hated her guts because that baby was the most mellow infant I have ever seen (still is) and she was finding all this time to cook and clean and I could barely seem to get my act together
I think that the catalyst had to be hormones, because by week three I was in a much better place. But man, those first two weeks were rough. Sleep deprevation is no joke.
It has been ten months and reflecting upon my experience it's a wonder I wanted another (this baby was a happy surprise). I have learned from my early mistakes and know what will be different this time around. You learn. But until you are in the moment, there is nothing to describe it.
Mama to DSS (8/27/2006), DD (3/16/12), and DS EDD 6/4/13
Wife to C, Mommy to M -July '10
OP, bless your heart for asking this question. Had I read through a thread like this as a FTM I would have been much less shocked during the first 2-3 months. :)
Our final baby #4 due early November!
DH and I will have a house full of kids ages 4 and under...oh my!
I'm sorry so many of the FTM think these stories are scare tactics. The difficult stories are more of a yes, it is possible you'll look in the mirror one day through your sleep deprived haze with the greasy hair, dirty clothes and stinky pits and try to figure out who's looking back at you. Many other mom's have been right there with you, it doesn't last forever , and it's so worth it that look at all of us doing it again, and again.
I'm disappointed to see such narrow minded people who think a mom who skips a shower or orders pizza in order to care for her newborn are lazy. I'm glad my real life isn't surrounded by such judgmental people.
I hope all of these posters are all blessed with perfectly healthy infants who sleep the recommended amounts. Not because I like you, or because you deserve it, or you practiced with kittens or other people's babies and it gave you the a magical experience to snap your fingers and take away the pain for an infant with issues...but because no infant deserves to suffer through the pain, fear or trauma they experienced when so many of us mommies were trying to comfort our not quite as healthy, not quite as textbook tiny helpless infants, whom we love to the ends of the earth no matter how many hours of the day they screamed in pain.
In your real lives, next time you see a new mom who's doesn't appear to be 'handling' it well, try offering her some assistance, not judging her parenting abilities, priorities, or personal hygiene.
There will be plenty of time for you to take a shower and have small moments to youself. Prepare some meals ahead of time in the freezer that way the first few weeks you don't have to think/work too hard at it. Wearing a baby in a sling allows you to get a lot done even if they just want to be held. If you need a shower and haven't had one. Put them down for 10 mins and wash up really quick and get back to them. They will survive. I always take a shower at night when all my littles are sleeping. If I didn't, I would never be clean. I thought it was hard when I was a FTM, but looking back now with number 5 coming...it really wasn't that hard.

That wouldn't really work either though. A number of the DS games are in the spinoffs section in General.
And another thing, what about Magnagate? The new MD game that is going to be released on the 3DS? Where would that go?
I can see putting it in Spinoffs, but given that general is mainly for past generation games, and systems, it would make no sense to put a 5th Gen 3DS game in General while we keep 4th gen DS games in Current.
Because DS or 3DS or N64, a spin off is a spin off. Believe me when I say that once a new spin off comes out, its spotlight lasts about a week or so then no one cares and threads about it stop being made. So it doesn't need to go in a 3DS game forum or a 3DS spin off forum or anything of the sort. Spin offs are not popular enough for each of them or each system that one is for to have its own forum or subforum. That's excessive. I don't see a problem in renaming CGPD to DS Generation and when we get 3DS
main games
and not spin offs, we can worry about what to do with the name and what to do with 4th Gen at that time.
doesn't matter, cause you give me temptation

The Czech Republic and Ireland voted Friday in European Parliament elections expected to boost eurosceptic parties despite a surprise setback for Dutch populists on the polls' first day.
With 26 million people out of work across the European Union, eurosceptic and far-right parties have picked up massive support on anti-immigration and anti-EU platforms.
The latest opinion polls suggest they could secure almost 100 seats in the new parliament, trebling their number in the 751-seat assembly, and may top the polls in Britain, France and Italy.
Friday results showed that the UK Independence Party (UKIP) led by Nigel Farage surged in local council elections, giving the anti-EU and anti-immigration group hope for a similar breakthrough in the European Parliament polls.
But the Netherlands' eurosceptic and fiercely anti-Islamic populist Geert Wilders stumbled Thursday, on the first day of voting on the continent.
His Party for Freedom scored just 12.2 percent of the vote on Thursday, down from 17 percent in 2009, exit polls showed.
Meanwhile in France, a survey forecast a Sunday landslide for the anti-immigration, populist National Front, with 23.5 percent of the vote.
Some 400 million Europeans are eligible to vote in the polls, spread over four days in the EU's 28 member states, and which come as the bloc struggles for relevance in the aftermath of the eurozone crisis and grapples with the chaos on its eastern borders.
- Bucking eurosceptics -
Russia's annexation of Crimea has spooked many eastern European countries that were dominated by the Soviet Union for much of the 20th century.
Having anchored their security in the EU and NATO following the fall of the Iron Curtain, most of eastern Europe is expected to back pro-EU parties.
"The crisis in Ukraine may... push some voters to back mainstream parties and eschew those of a eurosceptic bent," Vit Benes, from the Prague-based Institute of International Relations, told AFP.
Fuelling that trend is the fact that "eurosceptic parties like the National Front in France or Britain's UKIP are pro-Putin," he said, referring to Russia's president.
Only Hungary, which votes Sunday, has a strong eurosceptic party -- the far-right Jobbik.
Dubbed "neo-Nazi" by the European Jewish Congress and shunned even by the far-right National Front and Austria's Freedom party for its extremism, Jobbik has emerged as the second strongest political force in Hungary, with polls showing support of around 17 percent.
In the Czech Republic, two governing pro-EU parties are set to split 51 seats, with the populist ANO party poised for victory ahead of the leftwing Social Democrats.
This marks a turnaround from the country's decade under ex-president Vaclav Klaus, who governed until last year and was among Europe's most vehement EU haters.
"Euroscepticism is synonymous with selfishness. We receive a lot from the European Union, we should give a lot back as well," Prague civil servant Pavel Hamacek told AFP as his country headed to the polls.
"We can't be an isolated island," added 55-year-old Jitka Knizkova, who voted for the right-wing TOP 09 party for its "solid" economic policies.
Regional heavyweight Poland is among the most enthusiastic EU supporters. A recent Pew Research Centre poll showed 72 percent favoured the EU.
Europhilia is particularly pronounced in the Baltic states, which were annexed by the Soviet Union after World War II, and now fear a resurgent Russia.
- Political 'earthquake' -
But in Britain, UKIP's rise has rocked the political establishment, as a party without a single seat in its national parliament heads into the European election ahead of the main opposition Labour Party, opinion polls showed.
The party's rise was seen as a factor in Conservative Prime Minister David Cameron's pledge to hold a referendum on Britain's EU membership in 2017.
Farage has rejected claims his party was racist and said he wanted to cause a political "earthquake".
"If we get what we like, things will never be quite the same again," he told reporters, with UKIP expected to increase its current nine seats in Europe.
Former French president Nicolas Sarkozy insists reform of the EU was necessary to halt the rise of populist parties.
In an opinion piece published Thursday, Sarkozy urged the end of Europe's visa-free Schengen area and the creation of a Franco-German economic bloc at the heart of the eurozone.
Anger over EU-imposed fiscal policies was expected to see a boost for anti-austerity candidates from Ireland's Sinn Fein.
Latvia, Malta and Slovakia hold their polls on Saturday, while the rest will vote Sunday.

Boozer gets double-double in Jazz win over Rockets
SALT LAKE CITY Carlos Boozer looked like an All-Star again. Boozer had his best game since returning after missing three months with a knee injury, scoring 20 points and pulling down 17 rebounds as the Utah Jazz increased their winning streak to nine with a 101-94 win over the Houston Rockets on Wednesday.
In his four previous games, two-time All-Star Boozer had been averaging 7.5 points and 5.8 rebounds.
"My knee's getting better and better. Every day is an improvement. I'm trying to stay encouraged about it. I still can't jump high, but that's OK," said Boozer, who had surgery on his left knee in January. "I'm going to continue to take what they give me and figure out a way to be effective."
Deron Williams scored 10 of his 26 points in the fourth quarter, including a 20-foot jumper with 21 seconds left after Houston got within three points. Williams also had 14 assists for the surging Jazz, who went 17-for-17 from the foul line and won their 10th straight home game.
Ron Artest scored 25 points to lead Houston and Yao Ming had 19 points, seven rebounds and six assists before fouling out with 1:23 left.
Yao also had five blocks despite playing with foul trouble most of the night. Two of his fouls were offensive, including the final one when Utah's Ronnie Brewer went crashing to the floor after a collision with Yao in the lane. Brewer pumped his fist before getting up and Yao angrily made his way to the bench.
"Every time a defender player is on the ground, even if he just wants to sit down and have a rest, it's my offensive foul," Yao said. "That's unfair."
Yao took one more verbal jab at the Jazz, saying he was looking forward to Friday's game against Shaquille O'Neal and the Phoenix Suns.
"I guess I don't need to worry about (a) flopper next game. I don't think Shaq's that type of player," Yao said.
The Jazz improved to 2-1 against Houston and also moved within half a game of the Rockets in the tight Western Conference standings.
"We really needed this game because they're right there ahead of us," Williams said.
Utah and Houston have met in the first round of the playoffs the last two years and the Jazz won both. The final meeting of the regular season is March 24 in Utah, where the Jazz have won 10 straight.
Boozer, who missed 44 games before returning on Feb. 23, finished 8-for-17 from the floor and led the Jazz in a dominant rebounding performance. Utah had 45 rebounds to Houston's 31 and outrebounded the Rockets 27-9 in the first half.
"I've been working my tail off trying to get myself back and today it paid off extra," Boozer said.
Brewer had 19 points and Mehmet Okur finished with 16 points and eight rebounds. Okur also got Yao into foul trouble early and held him to seven rebounds.
"This is a tough team to play against," Utah coach Jerry Sloan said. "They're so big and long, it's tough to deal with them all night long."
After turning over the ball 13 times in the first half, the Jazz protected the ball in the second half and held off the Rockets down the stretch.
Houston rallied from a 13-point deficit to tie it at 85 on a turnaround by Yao, but the Jazz responded with a 10-4 run and led the rest of the way. Boozer started the run with a 15-foot jumper and Brewer followed with two layups on fast breaks.
The Jazz led 95-89 when Artest kept the Rockets' hopes alive by banking in a 3-pointer, but Williams answered with a jumper from 20 feet.

I've had my eyes on these darling little perfume bottles for a long time. The box is sweet and pretty, and very sturdy. The bottles are elegant and dainty, but still a good deal for free different designer perfumes.
Cleopatra is citrus, flowers, and musk. This is the most "perfumey" out of them, and it's harder to smell the components in this scent. It's light and delicate
Florence is fruit, bergamot, and blossoms. It's my favorite by far because the gardenia gives it an underlying, almost musky scent. It also reminds me of my honeymoon in New Orleans. It's just spectacular and I'd buy a full size of it for sure.
Stella is citrus, flowers, and incense. It reminds me of youth, and it's really an innocent, sweet scent.
This box has a different scent for every mood, and really is a chic treasure. Love it!
I bought this after sampling Tocca's Stella perfume while at Sephora. The scent was so long lasting and delicious long after I'd left Sephora, dinner, and then headed home for bed.
I settled on the sampler because I thought the value was phenomenal. 1.5 ounce of premium product for 45 dollars?! What?!!! Compared to Tocca's travel size AND full size perfume prices, this sampler is a steal.
All three scents are demure and lovely. Stella is nostalgic for me, reminds me of high school, and smells of floral sweetness. Cleopatra is demure and musky, and Florence is SOOOO amazing with violet and bergamot sophistication.
This is a MUST GET and makes for one awesome Christmas/Hannukah present, too.
I, very seriously, feel like a lady when I wear any of these three perfumes. I thought for sure that I'd be fortunate if I only liked two of the three scents, but I love them all. The scents are similar enough to remind you of each other, but are each lovely individual experiences. I will be purchasing more scents from TOCCA in the future.5

Social Networks: Effects of Social Capital on Firm Innovation
Molina-Morales, Francesc, Xavier, Teresa, Maria, Martinez-Fernandez, Journal of Small Business Management
This paper aims to introduce some specific insights regarding social networks and the geographical proximity of firms in order to investigate factors involved in the innovation of firms. In particular, this study reviews ideas from the industrial district literature by analyzing the role played by the dimensions of social capital, that is, social interactions, trust, shared vision and involvement of local institutions, in the process and product innovation of firms inside the district. This paper draws on an analysis comparing district members and nonmembers based on a sample of 220 manufacturing firms in the Valencia Region (Spain). Findings suggest a positive association between district affiliation, social capital and involvement of local institutions and innovation that can offer relevant prescriptions for policy makers and individual entrepreneurs.
Territorial agglomerations of firms have received a significant amount of attention from researchers from diverse disciplines. Externalities from physical proximity have been described as a justification of the potential benefits for firms. Concepts such as the Industrial District have analyzed the content and nature of these externalities. The industrial district is a concept that defines the territorial agglomeration of firms. For the purposes of this research, we have used the definition by Becattini (1990, p. 39), who defined it as a "socioeconomic entity characterized by the active presence of a community of people and a population of firms within a natural and historically bounded area."
Broadly speaking, firms in territorial-based networks develop a set of relationships in the form of "untraded interdependencies" (Storper and Scott 1989), which benefit their innovation and competitive capabilities in different ways (Meeus, Oerlemans, and Hage 2001). Territorial networks, consisting of a number of nodes and their respective direct or indirect relations, are used as a metaphor to represent the actors involved in the innovation process in a territory. The use of this metaphor emphasizes an integrated approach and the systemic vision of the process.
In this context, previous research has sought to apply and describe the territorial agglomeration of firms with a social component, using developments from the social capital and embeddedness concept (Lam 1997). However, attempts to determine the real potential of this approach in the field of territorial networks are scarce. As social capital theorists argue, social networks are an important part of the learning process in which firms discover new opportunities and obtain new knowledge. They also have the opportunity to improve the knowledge they already possess by interacting with one another (e.g., Tsai 2000; Kogut and Zander 1992).
According to Cooke, Clifton, and Oleaga (2005) social capital affects firms' performance. In particular, the analysis looks at SMEs but it is also extended to the individual firm and regional levels. Findings supported the positive effect of social capital at the individual level but it was not so conclusive at a regional level.
Our research aims to introduce and operationalize a model based on the social capital perspective by including a set of factors such as social interactions, trust, shared vision, and the involvement of local institutions. This model provides an explanation for the level of innovation capacity of district firms and it may be useful to explain differences both among firms within the internal district and between districts or different territorial contexts.
We have structured the paper as follows: first, we explain the bases of the notion of social capital, and then we describe its characteristics and potential benefits and apply it to the analysis of the industrial district. Our research hypotheses are then formulated and finally we use a sample of 220 Spanish firms to analyze the causal relation between social capital factors and innovation outcomes. …

The Brooklyn native began his career as a commercial artist and also created and wrote a comic strip called "The Nebbishes" for eight years. Following the success of "A Thousand Clowns", Gardner wrote and directed "The Goodbye People", a notorious 1968 flop that focused on a man who wants to open a tropical drink stand on a beach boardwalk. It took nearly seven years before his next play, the uneven "Thieves" hit the boards and a troubled out-of-town tryout (the original leading lady quit) did not help word of mouth when it hit Broadway. Gardner's one attempt at a musical, as both lyricist and book writer for "One Night Stand" did not even officially open on Broadway although it played sever... Continue Bio >>

Woke up 20 min earlier this morning to take a longer beach bike path to the LA river path which is an extra few miles each way to/from work. Definitely worth the extra miles and waking up earlier!
Woke up 20 min earlier this morning to take a longer beach bike path to the LA river path which is an extra few miles each way to/from work. Definitely worth the extra miles and waking up earlier!
todays commute was unexpected. I was out on my morning ride before work, and got a call that our surprise annual audit was happening. I figured it was faster to simply ride to work rather than ride the 10 miles home, shower, and then drive in. Thankfully I have clothes at work. So what was going to be 3 rides in this week just turned into 4.
wet rims require increased stopping distance
Cool yesterday, wet and cool today. Both days found me with a rear flat tire at the end of my shift. Yesterday I swung by the shop to purchase a tube (since I had destroyed my spare in a previous inflation debacle that I now believe was entirely my fault) and borrow their floor pump. Today, since it was obviously a slow leak, I used the frame pump to get home, then did what I should've done yesterday, and thoroughly inspected the tire. Sure enough, a 1.5 cm long sliver of metal had just barely made its way through the tire. Nothing like inflating a tire in the rain to remind you to be a little more exacting in your bike mainenance.
Beautiful Spring rides continue...lots and lots of runners out. 52F 11 C
Another lovely commute to work today, the sun was shining bright with no clouds and the temp was 42f degrees when I left the house. I get to leave the house later since our move. I also do not have to be up before 5:30 to leave.
Normal ride home last night.
Surprised to see it overcast this morning, but no rain in the forecast. Perhaps it will be a bit cooler with a little less sunshine.
I'm thinking I may start adding some miles to the ride home every now and then. I have a 12 mile ride now. I'm sure I can find a loop or alternate route to increase that some on these longer days.
Nice ride this morning - upper 50's, sunny, very little wind, and a commuting friend caught up with me so we rode most of the way together.
I'm slow, go around
My commute times are running consistently about 5 minutes faster this week since I swapped to lighter, narrower tires on my bikes. The weather has helped as well because it's been warmer and less windy with no rain so far this week.
No commute today ... my daughter's first softball game is tonight, so it's an hour+ to get there after work tonight.
Was odd getting in my car this morning ... I haven't driven it since Sunday I believe.
I got fed up with having to wear tights in the morning, considering what month we're in so I decided to scrap the tights and wear shorts (but still a long-sleeved, thick jersey on top). I had second thoughts this morning when I got up, it was 0C/32F, but, as it has been every morning this week, it was bright and sunny. However, I was fine and, since I had gotten up earlier this morning (on the road by 6:45), I was able to take the longer route, 25km/15mi, in to work and thoroughly enjoyed it. Right now, 9:15, it is 8C/46F with a forecasted high of sunny and 14C/57F this afternoon: I might be able to scrap the thick jersey this afternoon and just go with the regular long-sleeved I was wearing underneath.
I was asked, "Now that you're an adult, what are you going to do with your life?" I replied, "I don't know, I didn't think I'd make it this far."
This was a new one for me going home on the Greenway (of approximately 2,000 commutes on that paved trail). I've seen cops there before, sometimes even in patrol cars and usually tearing along with an emergency vehicle, and one time chasing me (but that's another story) but this is the first time I got stuck behind a patrol car going slow for miles - on the MUP! There wasn't really a good chance to pass and that seemed like it would be awkward anyway since he was getting up to the speed limit from time to time.
It wasn't anything serious. He finally pulled up to a middle-aged blond standing beside her bicycle and she was nervous but not at all agitated, and he cracked a lame joke about how far it was to put her at ease. I was burning with curiosity of course but I'll never know because I couldn't think of a smooth way to insinuate myself into the situation. Maybe I could have just said "Hey Officer what's happening?"
(nb, for you unfortunate Northern folks it was about 90°, summer clothes in the morning, perfect conditions. )

I'm dreaming of a windless day, I can't remember when was the last one.
Tomorrow I'll have to take the car because I have a medical appointement at 15h15 in Granby, which is 40 kms from my work place. No choice really.
Big game last night, Habs are leading the serie 2-1 WOUHOU!!!!
Just below freezing when I set out this morning, but low winds so it was an okay ride. Still finding my legs on the hills.
Went in an hour late today because I jacked my alarm. Gorgeous out.
Knee and arm warmers are perfect for spring days with cold/cool mornings and warm afternoons.
Excellent! Despite the forecasted headwinds both ways.. there was virtually none. Never topped 55 degrees on either leg, so I didn't even have to stow my jacket! Oh and I got to pass a couple of roadies that seemed to be in disbelief a guy in slacks had passed them..
Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
I hit very few red lights on my AM run so it was fast even though I wasn't rushing. PM return was weird, very intense drivers, traffic jams. Uneventful, though. Rain for tomorrow and Friday so it's subway for me...I'm only so dedicated.
The deep green spring mornings continue. 57F 14 C....gotta savor these days before summer hits.
The commute was nice with the temp at 41f degrees and clear blue skies this am. Only a quarter mile into the ride I realized why my bag looked so empty. I had forgot my towel, so back home I went to get it. Thank-goodness it was so close when I realized my error.
The weather is finally heating up here, with our first 90+ day expected today. Fortunately I am leaving work early and should avoid the worst of the heat. The humidity is also up, and I was drenched when I got to work this morning, despite dressing very lightly.
Beautiful mild morning, 6C/43F, sunny with a slight headwind breeze which was good to keep me cooler: I decided to incorporate HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training) into my ride (30sec sprint, 90sec spin) so the cooling breeze was appreciated. Calling for a high of 16C today but showers tonight and possible thundershowers tomorrow morning.
I was asked, "Now that you're an adult, what are you going to do with your life?" I replied, "I don't know, I didn't think I'd make it this far."
65F and my first morning ride in shorts!
I'm slow, go around
Upper 50s, a bit humid.
4th day in a row of commutes. If the weather holds up for tomorrow, it will be my first full week since last Fall.
