Member Spotlight
Kara Schectman, Young Presidents' Organization (YPO) network manager
1. Who (or what) introduced you to PRSA Dallas and how long have you been a part of the chapter? Working for Young Presidents' Organization, an association for chief executives and business leaders, we're always encouraged to seek out professional development opportunities. With my background in journalism and as an Associated Press award-winning writer, joining PRSA is something that's always interested me. PRSA member and APR, Dawn Jantsch, encouraged me to join PRSA Dallas, and I've been a proud member since 2013.
2. What is one piece of advice you would give new PRSA Dallas members and prospective members? The best thing to do is just go to a lunch and meet people. At my first lunch, I didn't know anyone, but I happened to sit next to Amanda Lam who asked me if I would be interested in getting more involved. That connection has led to me currently serving as PRSA Dallas Programs Chair. You never know who you are going to meet so always be open to new opportunities.
3. Any hobbies or quirks to confess? If I'm not working, I'm usually in water. I am a three-time All American swimmer, and I earned a full swimming scholarship to attend the University of North Texas where I was a four-year letter winner and captain. I've recently taken up paddle boarding and rowing, and I can't wait for the weather to warm up so I can traverse the treacherous waters of White Rock Lake again.
4. What is on your coffee table? A beautiful display of fresh flowers from my husband, Kate Spade's All in Good Taste, which is filled with party planning how-tos, personal essays, anecdotes, recipes and a liberal dash of style. It's the perfect gift for a hostess, which to be expected from the programs chair. Maybe an unexpected item is the book Love Letters of Great Men. Although my favorite love letter in the book happens to come from a woman: Elizabeth Barrett Browning.
5. What is your favorite hole-in-the-wall restaurant? Growing up in a small town outside of Houston, most famous for Lyle Lovett (my favorite musician), we literally ate farm-to-table food. And the closest I can get to that here is Kozy Kitchen on McKinney Avenue. Best brunch in town, and, bonus, you can get everything on the menu gluten free!

A wildlife expert said it was likely the Malibu fin whale died after being hit by a ship.
MALIBU, Calif. — No government agency took action to remove the decaying fin-whale carcass on a California beach, making it appear Saturday that the job would be left to Mother Nature.
But a homeowners' association took charge instead, hiring a tugboat to tow the dead creature out to sea.
The whale corpse created a spectacle last week as people wandered down the narrow Malibu Beach to look at the remains: white bones, rolls of blubber and the tail flukes trailing along the water's edge.
Homes of movie stars, celebrities and others line the cliffs high above the beach.

Most Read Stories
Looking over the whale Saturday, Malibu resident Ben Dossett said he saw no reason to remove it. "You look at the difference between what it was on Tuesday to what it is today," he said.
The smell had largely faded away, but it still attached to the shoes of those who came near. Some people took pictures, a boy poked the bones and dogs sniffed it.
The 40-foot-long, 40,000-pound juvenile male washed ashore Monday near Point Dume, near the homes of Barbra Streisand and Bob Dylan, about 30 miles west of downtown Los Angeles.
"From the evidence that we have so far, it appears that it was hit by a ship," said Jonsie Ross, marine-mammal coordinator for the California Wildlife Center.
Los Angeles County Fire Inspector Brian Riley said the hired tugboat towed the carcass about 20 miles from shore Saturday. Fire Department lifeguards patrol beaches in Malibu, but Riley said the homeowners did not take up the lifeguards' offer to help with the towing.
James Respondek, a local real-estate agent, said he worried the carcass, if left alone, would draw sharks that could endanger a surfing area and swimmers like his young daughter.
Government officials declined to get involved, he said. " 'I don't have a boat, I don't have the money, I don't have the resources' they all told me."

Texas Historian
The official journal of the Junior Historians of Texas
The Texas Historian is one of the few historical journals in the nation dedicated to publishing the work of secondary students. First issued in 1941 under the title Junior Historian, it was described by Walter Prescott Webb as "an experiment" founded on the belief that "Texas boys and girls are competent to collect the history, tradition, and lore of their separate communities and to write out the results of their investigations in a way worthy of publication. The search feature above and browse features below allow access to all but the current issue. Current and back issues may be purchased, when available, with all proceeds supporting the Junior Historians of Texas program.

Is it a "legit" programming practice to consider directory structure as a database? A hierarchical database. User has access to the database through Windows explorer.
Would it be reasonable to tell a user that he should "give" data to the program by organizing his folders in "x" fashion? Are there examples of software that do this effectively or particularly well? Is this a bad idea?

The Virgin Spring is hidden in the luxuriant reed marshes. It was named after an ancient local folk custom that young girls, accompanied by their mothers or sisters, will go to the spring to wash away dust and tiredness before they get married.
The Virgin Spring is a spring cluster of numerous geysers. The temperature of the spring water remains 29-31°C all year around, and there are many microelements that are good to human health, such as Strontium (Sr), Cuprum and Selenium (Se), and the impulse of the spring water is so great that people do not sink. Therefore, it is quite comfortable to swim and enjoy the view there, especially in winter when mists rise from the hot spring and spread for several miles. Pleasure grounds and local folk custom houses are situated near the spring, and people can enjoy the rustic appeal along the Yellow River beach-land.
Solo Adventure Tips:
How to Get There?
⑴ Tourists can take Train 4764 from Xi'an to Hancheng at 7:15 and get off at Heyang Station at 10:30. The cost is 13 yuan. Then take a minibus to get to the passenger station in the county town.

As our Open Up project to enhance the public spaces of our theatre gets underway, we are now beginning to experience some of the changes necessary in order to get the building work done as quickly as possible.
If you have been to the Royal Opera House very recently, you will have noticed that a new hoarding has gone up in the Front of House area. This is reducing the space for our audiences to get to the cloakroom at the end of a performance so we do ask that you try not to double back to meet your party in the Entrance Foyer but make your way out of the building together via the revolving doors and fire exits. This will help to make the exit as smooth as possible for everyone. Thank you for your co-operation.
Meanwhile, behind the hoardings, work has started to create a new staircase down to the lower level where the new toilets will be located. The Linbury Studio Theatre closed in mid-January and the team is currently decanting all the equipment in readiness for the complete transformation of the space into a second world-class stage within the building.
Regrettably, we are having to close the Royal Opera House to daytime visitors from Monday 15 February so that the complex schedule of works can be done as quickly and efficiently as possible, and to ensure that we can continue our performances on the main stage as usual throughout the project. This means that Tea Dances, Big Sing Fridays, Afternoon Teas and lunchtime recitals will no longer be taking place within the building until early 2018. However, the Jette Parker Young Artists will be giving recitals in other venues so please check the website regularly for updates.
During Open Up we are taking the opportunity to expand our partnerships and present smaller scale productions in other theatres so please do join us for of The Importance of Being Earnest at the Barbican and Pleasure and 4.48 Psychosis at the Lyric Hammersmith later this Season.
Whilst we appreciate that the Open Up project will inevitably bring some disruption, we are very excited that the benefits of the new Linbury Theatre, the opened up spaces on the street level, the new catering offerings and cloakroom facilities will greatly enhance the experience for audiences and artists alike.
We would recommend that during the Open Up period you allow more time to reach your seat than usual, and that you always check the website for details of any changes before your visit. At certain points during coming months, entrances to the building as well as drop off and pick up points will be affected, but we will flag any such plans on the Open Up homepage.
We will do our very best to keep you up to date with factors that may affect your visit, and you may find our list of Open Up FAQs useful. These have been compiled in response to audience queries we have received so far. We very much welcome comments and questions about the project, so do get in touch by posting your comment below.

As you may well know, work on our Open Up building project will start this autumn.
It's an exciting project to literally 'open up' the ground floor spaces within the Royal Opera House, improving access from Covent Garden and creating world class foyers to match the beauty of the auditorium and Paul Hamlyn Hall; to renovate the Clore Studio Upstairs making it a more versatile space, and to completely refurbish the Linbury Studio Theatre enhancing its acoustics and making it a vastly more comfortable and accessible venue for you.
The foyer areas will host a wide range of daytime activities with a ground floor café and a stunning glazed area on to Bow Street introducing far more natural light. Digital screens will showcase exhibitions and behind the scenes footage about the amazing things that happen here both on our stages and in our workshops, and the current cloakroom and lavatories will be much improved. The project is being funded entirely by private donations, for which we are extremely grateful.
The work will take two years during which we will maintain a full programme of opera and ballet in the iconic 1858 theatre, which will remain untouched.
We are delighted to have award winning architects Stanton Williams working with us. They bring a wealth of experience in working in sensitive contexts, and their sympathetic handling of natural materials, close attention to detail and imaginative use of space will help to create a Royal Opera House fit for this and the next generation of artists and audiences.
Inevitably there will be some disruption for our visitors and audiences during the construction period. The work will be phased so there could be changes each time you visit. However, we are working hard to minimize this and will be letting you know how the building work might impact on your visit through up to date information on our website and our usual communication channels.
So please do explore the Open Up section of our website, where you can find images and information about what the future will be for your opera house, and we will do everything we can to make sure that the impact of Open Up on your visit to the Royal Opera House is as minimal as possible.
We look forward to sharing this exciting journey with you and are grateful for your understanding and support along the way. Do share any thoughts or questions using the comment box below.]]>
I am delighted to announce that at its 17 March 2015 meeting Westminster City Council's Planning Committee approved our application to Open Up the Royal Opera House's Covent Garden home for the benefit of a growing public.
The Open Up project will enhance significantly the experience of coming to the ROH for the public, artists and guest companies; will create new opportunities to inspire audiences with our art forms; and will help this wonderful place come alive throughout the day as one of London's great cultural assets. The project will strengthen the infrastructure for sharing our work through broadcast and digital media. It will also help to improve our financial sustainability through improved retail and catering facilities.
The main features of the Open Up project are to:
· Create new entrances from Bow Street and the Covent Garden Piazza, improving circulation and way-finding, introducing more daylight, enabling visitors to see clearly what is available in all parts of the building and how to get there
· Enlarge and open up the main foyer at ground level to create a better experience for everyone. A café, free wifi, content showcases, public events and impromptu performances will be freely available to all during the day
· Completely refurbish the Linbury Studio Theatre, enhancing its comfort and character, while improving technical facilities and acoustic qualities. This will create a world-class mid-scale auditorium for The Royal Opera and The Royal Ballet, and a London home for a wide range of leading UK opera and ballet touring companies
· Enclose part of the terrace at Amphitheatre level, creating a more generous foyer while adding covers for the restaurant, and improving connections with the Covent Garden Piazza below. Create a terrace off the Paul Hamlyn Hall overlooking Bow Street
· Refurbish the Clore Studio Upstairs, while enhancing technical facilities enabling it to be used for a wider range of events, for live audiences and for streaming online to a growing public
We have selected celebrated architects Stanton Williams, after an international competition, to help realize our objectives. Their respect for our heritage, appreciation of our London context, and award-winning flair will deliver a Royal Opera House fit for the 21st century.

Work has begun on the new Bob and Tamar Manoukian Costume Centre at the High House Production Park in Thurrock.
The Costume Centre, which is due to open in 2015, will house more than 20,000 costumes for opera and ballet productions currently in repertory, as well as the Royal Opera House archive collection, which includes around six thousand items that date back to the 19th century.
Currently, Royal Opera House costumes are kept in locations across the UK, including Aberdare and Dover; the new centre in Thurrock will hugely reduce the carbon footprint of transporting costumes, as well as allowing for more efficient management and preservation of costumes still in use. The centre will also provide permanent workrooms for students, in partnership with South Essex College, and offer specialist placements with the Royal Opera House Costume Department.
'With the completion of the Costume Centre, there will be outstanding facilities for costume production and training, as well as for historic costumes and the running costume stock of the Royal Opera House all on site,' says Matt Lane, Head of ROH Thurrock and Thames Gateway. 'We know that these incredible materials and spaces will inspire visitors, excite learners and offer new opportunities for even more people to engage with the creative industries'.
The High House Production Park in Thurrock is a 14-acre site, home to state-of-the-art facilities specially designed for the creative industries. A creative hub, the Park is home to the Bob and Tamar Manoukian Production Workshop, where all Royal Opera House sets and scenery are built; Acme Studios, which provide space for up to forty artists; and The Backstage Centre, a training facility for those who want to work in creative arts. Find out more about learning projects and events in Thurrock.
'It's great to see the next site development getting underway. Businesses and learners alike feel inspired by the Park already, and they can't wait for the new centre to open its doors in 2015,' says Andrea Stark, Chief Executive of the High House Production Park.
'The new Costume Centre will be an exemplar in low carbon design,' says Andrea. 'In addition, alongside this building project, the Royal Opera House is running an innovative low carbon programme called Culture Change. This is helping many small companies and freelancers in our sector to increase their resilience by learning how to reduce their carbon footprint and improve their bottom line.'
To find out more about our work in Thurrock or join us for a tour of the Production workshop, visit our website.
To see if you are eligible for our free business support programme, visit the Culture Change pages or view a short film about the programme.
The building of the Costume Centre is supported by Bob and Tamar Manoukian, European Regional Development Fund, Thurrock Council, the Foyle Foundation, the Royal Opera House and South Essex College.
At the Royal Opera House, we're big fans of Instagram and have been enjoying the thousands of photos you've taken of the building. We've also been posting our own pictures @RoyalOperaHouse, including a selection of behind the scenes images.
In celebration of your great photos, we've selected a few of our favourites. If you're an Instagram user, why not share your own using the #royaloperahouse hashtag?
Since 1605, when Guy Fawkes planted 36 barrels of gunpowder beneath the Houses of Parliament, we've celebrated 5 November as Bonfire Night. Fires are lit, effigies are burnt and the skies across England sparkle with fireworks; whether to celebrate Fawkes's failure or to honour his attempt to overthrow the government is up for debate.
While the Gunpowder Plot was successfully foiled and the Houses of Parliament escaped an explosive end, the Royal Opera House has a less fortunate history: in the 19th century, the theatre burned to the ground twice in just fifty years.
The first theatre on the Covent Garden site was opened by theatre manager and actor John Rich in 1732. Built next to the city's principal fruit and vegetable market (which moved to Vauxhall in 1974), it was primarily a playhouse for the first 100 years of its existence. However, in 1808, the theatre was destroyed by fire. The pipe organ of Baroque composer George Frideric Handel, who frequently performed there from 1735 until his death in 1759, was just one of many valuable items lost.
The theatre was rapidly rebuilt and re-opened in 1809. Over the next thirty years, the theatre became increasingly popular with high society. By the 1830s, Queen Victoria and Prince Albert would frequent the Royal Box up to four times a week in high season. However, in 1856, disaster struck once again. The theatre, hired for a masked ball by a man known as the 'Wizard of the North', burned to the ground following a night of drunken revelry and had to be completely rebuilt.
Much of the current Royal Opera House building dates back to this rebuild, including the beautiful velvet-clad auditorium, a Grade 1 listed building that seats some 2,250 people. It has been used as a furniture repository (during World War I) and a dance hall (during World War II). The historic auditorium is now surrounded by a 21st-century labyrinth of modern offices, state-of-the-art backstage areas, dressing rooms and workshops. Needless to say, these days it is also equipped with fire alarms. From time-to-time, the entire cast of an opera or ballet are evacuated into the Covent Garden piazza in full costume, much to the delight of passersby.
The Royal Opera House of today is the result of an extensive renovation that took place between 1997 and 1999. Over the course of two years the auditorium was re-raked, re-seated, re-painted, re-gilded and re-lit, and the surrounding building equipped with high-tech storage mechanisms, new public areas and studios. Take a look at just what goes on behind the main stage:
From the light and airy ballet studios that overlook the piazza, to the cavernous set-storage carousel three stories beneath the stage; from the rooftop props workshop, to the enormous set-construction area built on a rotating floor; the building is an architectural feat.
Monitoring and maintaining the auditorium and its historic contents is the responsibility of the ROH Collections Department, who carry out and oversea extensive renovations and conservation projects. Most recently, a frieze of Queen Victoria in the Auditorium was conserved.

The first stage of Arts Council England's capital programme was announced today, with applicants now having 18 months to put forward applications for phase two. The money from the capital programme is focused on the refurbishment or extension of existing arts buildings and the replacement of critical equipment.
Arts Council England proposes to invest just over £114 million in this first round of the fund, its first new capital investment in nine years.
Projects through to phase two include: the refurbishment of the Southbank Centre's Queen Elizabeth Hall, Purcell Room and Hayward Gallery to bring them up to the international standard of the Royal Festival Hall; work to transform the auditorium, front and backstage areas of Chichester Festival Theatre; and extensions to Embrace Arts at the Richard Attenborough Centre in Leicester and the Square Chapel in Halifax.
Successful applications also involve the development of 40 affordable artist studios at High House Production Park in Thurrock, a new home for Cornerhouse and the Library Theatre Company in Manchester, and a new space for South East Dance in Brighton.
Tony Hall, Chief Executive of the Royal Opera House, said in response to the announcement, "We are hugely grateful that Arts Council England has put us forward to Stage Two of their capital funding programme. Not surprisingly after 13 years since the redevelopment stage equipment, plant and infrastructure are beginning to go wrong, break down and wear out. This money will not be spent on chandeliers and red carpets but on things that make the building function properly and to full capacity in the most energy efficient way. So, we are looking at chillers, stage lifts, stage wagons, roof leaks, stage curtain mechanisms, stage and front of house lighting, overhauling of some of the seating, in fact a huge long list of vital stuff that keeps this building functioning safely and effectively. Being able to draw on a special capital fund to make these essential improvements means that we can continue to invest in our art forms and our programme of education."]]>

1) The 49ers winning the game in the 4th quarter last year in the NFC Championship fumble 2 punts. One in the 4th quarter and one in overtime to lose a narrow game. Miss the Super Bowl. (2011)
Result = Come up short. Lost year.
2) The following year the 49ers advance 1 step further but fall hugely behind 28 - 6 by the 3rd quarter. They didn't even play the 1st two quarters. Simply horrible. Then fight all the way back and have 1st and goal at the 7 with minutes left for a chance to win the Super Bowl. They then blow all 4 plays and questionable calls. (2012)
Result = Come up short. Lost year.
A top flight team that comes up short year after year. We have seen this before. It's the BUFFALO BILLS SYNDROME. Can't close the deal.
You only have so much window and I fear we are wasting it. Justin Smith is not getting younger and already is starting to show signs of injury and wear and tear. Frank Gore is getting older and has taken a pounding over the years. Dashon Goldson is a FA again. Do we Franchise him again? Will we let him go to save money?
Everybody thought Dan Marino would be in Super Bowl after Super Bowl. But he made it only once and never again. There is no guarantee we will be back.

Massage therapists work with patients who have pain, anxiety, stress, muscle tension or other physical restrictions resulting from injury, disease or other causes. Their role includes evaluation and therapeutic massage intervention designed to reduce pain, anxiety, stress or muscle tension for each patient or client.
Employment of massage therapists in a health care environment is variable but is expected to grow as the use of integrative medicine advances. The demand for massage therapists should also continue to rise as a result of growth in the number of people with disabilities or limited function.
Advances in medical research related to the use of massage therapy in medical settings has also spurred a greater need for massage therapists who are proficient at working in a complex, ever-changing health care environment. Widespread interest in health promotion should also increase demand for massage therapy services.
Income levels for massage therapists vary based on region of the country, experience and type of practice. The average pay rate for massage therapists in a medical setting ranges from $20 to $30 an hour.

Aldeburgh Black Horse

CAMRA Ipswich & East Suffolk branch.
last updated 19/02/2016
Local rumours suggest that this lost pub was once a centre for local smugglers on the edge of the marsh.
The 1904 Woodbridge licensing records show that the Black Horse's beerhouse license was issued in 1843. It got a full license on Februray 6th 1961.
The building seems to have been abandoned for some years and is looking quite derelict.
A report in the Ipswich Journal** on 06 Sep in 1879 contained a Reference to Samuel MARJORAM at the Black Horse Inn.

If you make a written statement to the police or another recognized authority like a notary public that you swear is the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, what you've put down on paper is an affidavit.
We get the noun affidavit from the Latin affidare, which means "to pledge." When you state something in an affidavit, you're pledging to the powers that be that you're not lying. The word usually appears in legal settings; if you watch a lot of cop shows or courtroom dramas, it probably rings a bell. "According to the affidavit, Mrs. Smith told police she found the burglar in her closet wearing her most expensive pair of shoes."
Definitions of affidavit
n written declaration made under oath; a written statement sworn to be true before someone legally authorized to administer an oath
- Types:
(law) an affidavit attached to a statement confirming the truth of that statement
- Type of:
instrument, legal document, legal instrument, official document
(law) a document that states some contractual relationship or grants some right
a solemn statement made under oath

Kermit on the Couch ; Puppets Represent Repressed Spiritual Instincts in a Materialist Age
Rubin, Merle, The Christian Science Monitor
Freud theorized that modern civilization (the one in which he lived, anyway) repressed our sexual instincts. In her provocative new book, "The Secret Life of Puppets," Victoria Nelson contends that modern civilization has repressed our spiritual instincts. And these, she argues, like all repressed instincts, have come back to surprise us in strange new forms.
Suffice it to say, Nelson is not interested here in what might be called normative religions, but in the peculiar syncretic amalgams of magic, superstition, fantasy, cybernetic games, and urban folklore, which, she believes, reflect the way that many people now think.
"Whereas religion up to the Renaissance provided the content for most high visual art and literature," she declares, "art and entertainment in our secular era have provided both the content for new religions and the moral framework for those who practice no religion at all."
Once upon a time, Nelson contends, there were two ways of looking at the world: Aristotelian and Platonic. Aristotelians inclined towards rationalism, materialism, and sensory observation, a viewpoint that gradually came to predominate, thanks to Francis Bacon, the scientific method, the Protestant Reformation, and the Enlightenment.
Platonists, in contrast, (including both Greco-Roman pagans and many Christians) saw the sensory world as a kind of microcosm or corresponding copy of a supernatural realm. This way of thinking can be found in the worship of icons, the practices of alchemy, astrology, and divination, and in gnostic, cabalistic, and Neoplatonic lore. Nelson also finds it in the phenomenon of puppets: wooden replicas of human beings that seem to have a life of their own.
When the rationalist-materialist worldview became the dominant one, the Gnostic-spiritualist mode went underground, so to speak, popping up in grotesque and demonic forms, like witches, ghosts, golems, and monsters, not to mention puppets. Thus, something of the Gnostic worldview was permitted to live on in the realm of the arts and literature.
"Whereas literary critics aestheticized the transcendental," declares Nelson, "psychologists subjectivized (and often pathologized) it." And indeed, as Nelson would have us see it, the ancient gods and oracles also live on in the visions and voices experienced by psychotics: rather a diminished form of existence.
Thus, she argues, the popularity of the supposedly "marginal" genres of horror and science fiction and the world of pulp comics, with their grotesque monsters and superhuman heroes, all testify to the vigorous survival of the Gnostic mode of perception. …

Suspect killed in December shoot-out with police shot 25 times, Oklahoma medical examiner says
A man killed in a gunfight with police outside Valley Brook Town Hall was shot 25 times and had a blood alcohol level twice the legal limit, according to an autopsy report released Thursday by the state medical examiner.
The gunfight occurred Dec. 8 when Damien Jefferson Muncie, 36, grabbed a patrolman's weapon and shot three officers.
Muncie's blood alcohol level was 0.16, according to the autopsy report.
He had broken into the town hall and scribbled symbols and letters on the wall with his own blood before he was confronted by Valley Brook patrolmen Darren Johnson. As Johnson walked around the building, he saw a computer monitor crashing out a window.
He ordered Muncie, who was covered in blood, to stop and called for backup.
The two wrestled to the ground. A police baton, canister of pepper spray and a stun gun did not stop Muncie from grabbing Johnson's weapon and holding it to his head.
Two Oklahoma City police officers who responded to Johnson's call for backup hit Muncie with a wave of gunfire. All three officers were wounded in the gunbattle but survived. Johnson and Oklahoma City officers Chris Grimes and Roy Mitchell were treated for their injuries and went on routine administrative leave while the case was investigated.
All three are back on duty after District Attorney David Prater not only cleared them of wrongdoing but proclaimed their actions "heroic."
The autopsy report shows bullets struck Muncie all over his body, including in the neck, chest, stomach, legs, arms, hips, buttocks and his right foot. There was a bullet wound in his heart, the report states.
Muncie had been released from prison Nov. 23 and was living nearby at Hand Up Ministries trailer park at 2130 SE 59.
He had served three years on a burglary conviction and was on probation for drug and larceny convictions.

Air Power History Best Book Award for the Year 2008
Kreis, John F., Air Power History
A three-member panel of judges chose as Best Air Power History Book for 2008 Donald Caldwell's and Richard Muller's The Luftwaffe Over Germany. The award is given annually after carefully considering and rating all of the books reviewed in the Foundation's journal, Air Power History, during the year. Criteria for selection call for the book to be of high quality, contribute to an understanding of air power, and for the author or authors to have had a connection to the U.S. Air Force or be a member of the Air Force Historical Foundation. Both of the authors are accomplished air power historians, and both of them have extensive experience in assessing the performance of the German Air Force during World War II. This year's competition was especially demanding, as several of the books nominated could have won, and all of them presented unique aspects of air power operations.
The Luftwaffe Over Germany describes how the German Air Force developed its capabilities through the course of World War II in the longest air defense battle ever fought. The Luftwaffe command charged with defending the German homeland included not only the air defense fighter arm, but also the network of ground based antiaircraft guns as well as the radar warning sites and the command network. This combination had to protect German industries, Germany's cities and their populations, and military installations from attacks by the bombers of the Royal Air Force and the United States Army Air Forces, and it nearly defeated the Americans in the late summer and fall of 1943.
The judges included Douglas Wright of San Jose, California, and Alfred Hurley and Lawrence Spinetta of the Air Force Historical Foundation. These three had a particularly difficult job, as several of the books considered scored highly. The runner-up in the judging was Steve Calls' Danger Close, a story of the Air Force's tactical air controllers in Afghanistan and Iraq. The importance of Danger Close is that it describes how the Air Force developed a way to deliver close air support, bringing air attacks on an enemy unit that is in direct combat with U.S. or allied ground forces. How to do this, and the Air Force's responsibility has been a matter of bitter contention between the Army and the Air Force since before World War II. …

Abercrombie & Fitch will change its "look policy" and allow employees to wear hijabs after a three-year legal battle with two Muslim women was settled out of court. The settlement requires Abercrombie to report religious accommodation requests and discrimination complaints to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission for three years, and includes $71,000 in compensation for the women. "People shouldn't have to choose between their faith and their paycheck," said one of the women. The company had claimed that headscarves violated its look policy, part of its marketing strategy.

text: In the June quarter, growth bounced back to 5.7%, the highest in nearly two years. Forget who should get credit for this. Over April-May, India was going to polls and in June, the current government was finding its feet. No wonder former finance minister P Chidambaram of the UPA piped up to take credit for the bounce back. But how real or sustainable is this number? The healthy 3.8% farm growth is for the period prior to the failed monsoon. Next, exports are up a bit, consumption has held steady and investment has not fallen, even if it has not accelerated. Beyond this, there is little to cheer.

"Bandera Texas" Bandera by Micgwit
Bandera Travel Guide: 8 reviews and 41 photos
Bandera town is a great little place to spend some of your non riding time. If like me you are into antiques and collectibles, plan at least two whole days to explore fully the large emporium and the two antique stores. Thousands and thousands of items for sale although most Brits would think these more like 'car boot' shops than real antique shops. However there are some real gems hiding away just waiting for you to rummage them out.
The Cowboy store will tog you out in all things Western and Cowboy; we bought our Stetsons and a nice jacket from here.
The 11th street bar has regular concerts and is a great place for a night out. The Old Spanish Trail restaurant will satisfy anyone's food needs if you missed out on a meal at the Ranch. It's a great place with Steaks, Shrimps that to us Brits would be called Lobster tails and much much more.
Just walk down a side street and you are in the country where you will find wild turkeys, armadillo and of course lots of wild deer which one can see almost everywhee in Bandera other than the main road.
The real gem of Bandera has to be "Arkey Blues Silver Dollar"; a real old honkey tonk bar where the locals sit around and jam together singing all things country. This is the real thing; it's not a touristy designed fake. It is used by locals and is very friendly. We played pool together in there and then were challenged by a couple of local gents, named Bob and Mike, who later turned out to be great guitar players and singers. These guys beat me at pool but my girlfriend who used to play in a pool league took them all on and beat the lot. I'm not sure if it was her skill or that famous Texan welcome and the guys being Southern Gentlemen that kept her playing so long but who cares, we had a great time at Arkeys and made more friends with whom we are now in touch via email.
for most of the year the river is safe for swimming, fishing and floating in. It runs in a wide arc out from Bandera and then back in again. This unusal aspect to the river means one can hire a "Tube" or a kayak and float with the flow of the river for a couple of hours as the river loops away from then back into town.
Fishing in the shad of the hot Texan sun with a couple of cool beers with only the sound of the wldlife and the music of the river is just sheer bliss. One may even catch a Perch or Catfish too.
- Pros:Cowboy Capital of the world - Texan hospitality
- Cons:Can't really think of any - loved it all
- In a nutshell:Real friendly town, Rididng, fishing, impromptu country music jamming sessions, cowboys, antiques, great food and beer - that's Bandera

Twice, a strong cross-wind has blown me over, but on both occassions, I managed to catch myself.
Twice, a strong cross-wind has blown me over, but on both occassions, I managed to catch myself.
Make a BOLD Statement While Cycling!
I've never been blown over, but I've come close a few times. The downtown area of Kansas City acts like a windtunnel in several places.
Oddly, all of my worst wind encounters have been in the summertime, before a thunderstorm set in.
Once during a track stand...which ended badly unless you were the two construction workers who thought it was a real hoot.
A second time on a climb into a gale force headwind gust but I got a foot down.
Both were cold front wind shift related. The first was on a training ride, the latter on commute.
We had some 40 mph gusts here on Saturday. I wasn't blown to the ground, but I was pushed across the lane a few times, and almost stopped in my tracks when I had to turn and pedal into the southernly wind. Someone told me that the flat landers call the wind, "midwesterners' hills", and I can see why.
I've had some pretty strong winds (60km/h) blow sidways, and make my steering move a bit, but never so strong that I got out of my path. With the weight of my bike (and myself on it), I always seem to be able to handle the bike well, and compensate for strong shifts in the winds.
I would imagine weighing over 220 pounds + all the winter gear on the heavy bike have something to do with it?
yesterday was gusty. although i didn't get blown over (never have yet) it was scary as heck going over the bridge on the tiny pedestrian path attached to the side.
One day last week, the wind was blowing like crazy. There is this one hill where I can get up to about 30 mph. As I went around the bend past an old ballpark, a crosswind nailed me. Luckily I'm 6'4" 210 lbs or I would've been toast. As it was, I was extremely startled.
Years ago when I was less experienced and sometimes rode on the sidewalk on busy streets, I found myself crossing the Leaside bridge in Toronto (connects Laird to Pape) on a slightly windy day. The guard rail is only about 4 feet high, and as I rode along on the sidewalk on my fairly high road bike, I realized a strong gust might potentially blow me right off the bridge, so I switched to riding on the road.
In the past three months , I have unexpectantly been in 60 mile hour gusts. Scarry. Only way I stayed upright. Unclip. or else walk.
One time when I was on my 16lb bike (with bladed spokes, Ksyriums) I was riding over a large suspension bridge. I had to stop to walk over the expansion joints. The expansion joints were right next to a bridge support that blocked the wind completely. I walked taking small steps while standing over the top tube. When I steped out into the wind, the wind picked my bike up and to the left against my left leg. I stumbled but caught myself before falling into the line of traffic.
I would not have believed it was possible.
If you look at the pavement between the supports you can see the expansion joint.
Is this a regular route for you? That bridge looks a little scary.Originally Posted by 2manybikes
Make a BOLD Statement While Cycling!
On a recent 20 mile out and back, I had the wind behind me outgoing, but when I turned around, the wind lowered my average speed 25%. I didn't feel the wind going out, but I sure did coming back.
"I am a true laborer. I earn that I eat, get that I wear, owe no man hate, envy no man's happiness, glad of other men's good, content with my harm." As You Like It, Act 3, Scene 2. Shakespeare.
"Deep down, I'm pretty superficial." Ava Gardner.
This happens frequently to me. My usual routes take me through some fairly flat farming lands in northern Illinois and southern Wisconsin, and the winds through these areas gust enough to regularly move me from side to side. So far, only a couple of near-falls or run-offs into the grass, dirt, or most recently snow. I am 125lbs and my road bike/gear is probably another 25 or so - not very stable! The really sad thing, though, is that I know even if I get past these regions without incident, I will have to make a turn into those winds eventually to get back home .
It was scary at one time, but I have been doing it for over ten years, now I love to stop and take pictures at the top. It's a regular ride route, but I don't have to go over it to get anywhere I need to go. It's not so bad on a heavier bike with loaded panniers, and it's rarely that windy. Now if it's that windy I just don't go that way.Originally Posted by oilfreeandhappy
I live where lots of new neighborhoods are being constructed. Last winter I was almost taken out b a 4X8 that blew of a house under construction. It flipped sideways at the last second and went over my head. For me debris has been a bigger problem than the gusts themselves.

In December I was waiting for traffic to clear, stopped on a sheet of ice. A big gust blew me sideways on the ice. I didn't fall, but I had to get up quite a bit of speed to regain forward momentum.
Question: If you're blowing around on your bike, is it better to ride faster or slow down?
"Think Outside the Cage"
Wow! A Yugo! holy smokes!Originally Posted by Roody
Being blow around on the ice sounds maybe even worse than just riding on pavement!
When the wind blows me off track and I veer off at an angle, the slower I go keeps me from traveling as far off track in the same amount of time. In other words I might only go 5 feet off my line instead of 10 feet off my line of travel.
If it's super windy I just go fast enough to keep my balance comfortably. At that speed I can actually catch myself with my foot if I'm falling. It's worked a couple of times.
Roody: First snow coming tonight since I talked to you about riding lakes. Yeah !
That bridge looks awful familiar....

Check out my thread "White out" on the bike path. I just made it home before it got too deep.
I was out in over 70 mph winds yesterday... it was so much fun, trees were blown down all over the bike path and trail. I didn't get blown over, but sand and dirt was hitting my exposed cheeks at high rates of speed. I cant say i ever experienced such winds before. I made up an awesome song during the storm ride...
In a wind storm!... (add lyrics)
Early January my older brother and I met up in Vegas to ride to Death Valley, and the first day we were supposed to ride there was a nasty wind/rain storm. We were on 160 heading out towards Pahrump, so the road was really busy. Luckily, the wind was blowing towards the shoulder, but that meant that since we were correcting for it, everytime a truck went by we'd be sucked into the lane.
Anyway, my brother got blown off his bike off into the dirt. The winds were a sustained 50-60mph, and we had heavy packs, panniers, and a trailer, which made balancing tenuous at best.
Is trick from science!
I rode home in that about noontime (2/17/06). I had shingles,vinyl siding and tree limbs flying past me. I had crosswinds for most the way home. What really scared me was down power lines along the way and how I had to lean the bike during high gust of wind. I tell you at one point I think could touch the ground with my left hand. I had a death grip on the bars most of the way home.Originally Posted by The Selector

A pic form the local paper. This happened just 3 miles from my commute route.

Does anyone know of a way to programmaticly get a list of books from a user's Amazon Kindle Library? I would like to build a service for lending books. Ideally users would be able to export a list of books they are willing to lend without having to type each one individually. I believe Amazon may have some sort of API for this but have been unable to find any documentation. I am more or less language agnostic on this one. Thanks in advance for anyone who has any suggestions.
Solution: The user is given an option to mount their kindle as a removable drive, and further to drag/drop all of their ebook files onto the page. I then parse all the file names which contain the ASIN. Using the ASIN, I can search Amazon for the book information including if it is lendable or not.
This is not exactly what I was hoping for, but it works good enough. If someone comes up with a more eloquent solution, I would be very interested!
You're looking for the Amazon Product Advertising API.
I don't know how they do it exactly - but Shelfari will import a user's Kindle books based on purchase history if they login with their Amazon account (I think I've seen somewhere that Amazon partially owns Shelfari or they are somehow affiliated). Anyway the Shelfari interface - which is basically a social network for readers also has the capability to create a CSV with your virtual shelves. That file is basically a simple spreadsheet with the identifying data for the books. I have used this process for transferring my Kindle library catalog before because it is too cumbersome to do one by one. The CSV file is usually importable by other sites or readable by excel so that you can copy and paste the data in larger groups.
I saw this post a few weeks ago while looking for an API for my Kindle. I realize I'm digging up a pretty old post but, after seeing the answer from user2493694, I figured I could cook up something like what she described.
The project is still in development but, as of now, is a functional Kindle API in Python. Its primary focus is on the user's current reading position (this was the subject of my original interest in a Kindle API) but it has the potential to extract all publicly available Kindle data.
I've uploaded it at https://github.com/msuozzo/Lector and would greatly appreciate any feedback or feature requests.
I've been considering parsing the content page of the Kindle Cloud Reader (https://read.amazon.com) in order to obtain a list of the books in my kindle library.

Police: Woman watched as her husband raped girl
Woman charged in rapes
WILKES-BARRE - Police say Misty Machinshok didn't merely know her husband was raping a teen girl.
She helped him concoct a plan to do it and coached her through her first time in an attempt to get her pregnant - because Mrs. Machinshok herself can't have children, court documents allege.
When the baby was born, the Machinshoks planned to adopt it for their own, police said.
Police on Tuesday charged Mrs. Machinshok, 32, of 154 Park Ave., with multiple counts of conspiracy to commit rape, sexual assault, indecent assault, endangering the welfare of a minor and corruption of minors.
Her husband, Gary L. Machinshok, 28, of the same address, was arrested in October on charges alleging he repeatedly forced a 15-year-old girl to have sex with him, calling her into his room and forcing himself on her as her siblings slept and while her mother was out for the night.
The girl told police Mr. Machinshok threatened to sexually assault her younger sister if she didn't comply, court documents allege.
In November, police charged Mr. Machinshok with fondling a 12-year-old while they lay on a couch. He was also accused of walking into the bathroom while the girl was showering and trying to open the curtains, as well as frequently walking around the house naked.
The charges filed Tuesday, however, represent the first time Mrs. Machinshok has been accused of participating in her husband's activities.
The 15-year-old girl later told police that Mrs. Machinshok was not only aware Mr. Machinshok had been raping her, but that she was present the first time it happened.
"She said that (Mrs. Machinshok) assisted her and told her what to do, and also watched as Gary Machinshok had sex with her," according to the police affidavit, filed in court by Wilkes-Barre police Detective Ronald Foy.
The girl told police that on subsequent encounters, Mrs. Machinshok would tell her to have sex with Mr. Machinshok while she went to play bingo at her mother's, police said.
Magisterial District Judge Rick Cronauer arraigned Mrs. Machinshok and set her bail at $100,000. She was sent to the Luzerne County Correctional Facility with a preliminary hearing set for 10 a.m. Jan. 21.
Mr. Machinshok - who is facing numerous charges including rape, sexual assault and indecent assault - remains jailed with bail set at $100,000 and a preliminary hearing set for 9 a.m. Thursday.
