Maureen Tucker: I know they have awards here somewhere.
Lou Reed: This award is shared by three other people ... Sterling, Nico and Andy.
John Cale: And it makes an astonishing point to all the young musicians in the world, that sales are not the be-all and end-all of rock and roll. And everyone should be encouraged ... inspiration and artistic freedom is the cornerstone of rock and roll. Thank you.
Lou Reed: This is a song the three of us wrote for our friend Sterling Morrison and it's called "Last Night I Said Good-Bye to My Friend".

Huskies to Take on Great Britain's World Champion Team in 2014 Windermere Cup SEATTLE - The teams are set for this year's running of the 28th anniversary of the Windermere Cup, the annual spring rowing event on the Montlake Cut that signifies Opening Day for boaters in Seattle. The world championship caliber senior crews of the Great Britain National Team will join the Huskies out on the Cut, with races beginning at 10:20 a.m. PT on Saturday, May 3. The event is held in conjunction with the Seattle Yacht Club and is sponsored by Seattle-based Windermere Real Estate, the largest regional real-estate company on the West Coast. Last year tens of thousands of fans lined the Cut and packed the Montlake Bridge to see the Huskies sweep all four races for the second consecutive year. The free event has become one of the largest sporting events in the area, connecting the Seattle community to the sport. "Opening day of boating and the Windermere Cup are a rite of passage for spring in Seattle," said OB Jacobi, president of Windermere Real Estate. "We look forward to it every year and are so proud to have this 28-year-long partnership with the University of Washington and Seattle Yacht Club." The Windermere Cup Regatta began in 1987 when the World Champion Soviet Union crews came to race as part of the community's effort to highlight the unique racing venue the Montlake Cut offers rowing. This year the races will get back to their roots of hosting one international team after hosting two teams for the last several years. "We want to encourage the very best teams to come race in the Pacific Northwest and Windermere's sponsorship has allowed us to do that," said men's head coach Michael Callahan. "We're really excited to have such a high caliber team coming to race us." The 2014 Windermere Cup continues the tradition of attracting premier rowing teams to Seattle for this sp
Seniors And Juniors Dominate 113th Class Day
Husky Crew Ready To Kick Off 2014 Season With 113th Class Day
SEATTLE � Ever since September when these freshmen stepped on campus, they have been going. When you look at the experience of an 18-year-old living on a college campus by themselves for the first time, it is overwhelming: balancing social life and homework, going to class or sleeping in, doing laundry or doing reading. But for 58 new Huskies, this wasn't all they were dealing with; they also were tackling the absolute grind that comes with training with Washington Rowing.
Class Day Flier
SEATTLE � Wednesday night the Seattle Sports Commission hosted their 79th annual Seattle Sports Star of the Year awards, where numerous husky players and teams were nominated across all categories.
It was a beautiful, clear day down on the water at this year's Head of the Lake regatta. The amazing event, put on by the Lake Washington Rowing Club and the University of Washington, and weather was the perfect setting to highlight the thriving rowing community in the Seattle.
On Sunday the fall season will come to a close for both of University of Washington rowing teams at the Head of the Lake Regatta host by the Lake Washington Rowing Club. The crews will take on the 3.1-mile course, starting at 8:00 am PT, which starts in Lake Union, continues through Portage Bay and the Montlake cut before finishing in Lake Washington.
The University of Washington Men's rowing team finished the three mile Championship Four race of the 49th annual Head of the Charles Regatta in 16:49.371 and took home fourth place. In the Championship Eight race the Huskies finished in a mere 14:55.482 and took home ninth.
This weekend the reigning IRA champion will make its 2013-14 competitive debut when the Washington men's rowing team takes part in the 49th annual Head of the Charles Regatta in Boston, Mass.
Michael Callahan, the former Husky and world-champion rower and now coach of the three-time defending national-champion Washington crew, surprises his rowers and 300 of his program's supporters by bringing the hallowed Varsity Challenge Cup to UW.
The Washington men's and women's crew teams are looking for walk-on rowers to join the squad in the fall. No previous rowing experience is necessary. According to men's assistant coach Rick Gherst, "the walk-on athlete is what Washington Rowing was built on. We are committed to making sure that opportunity still exists."

In December 2001, CIA paramilitary operative Matt Garrett is mysteriously pulled from Pakistan as he closes in for the kill of Al Qaeda senior leadership and is reassigned to a low-profile mission in the Philippines. But as he sifts through the wreckage of a downed C-130 in the tangled jungle, he finds a dead U.S. Special Forces paratrooper who is not supposed to be there and is thrown into a contest of wits and resiliency in the uncharted rainforests of Mindanao.
Manipulated by the secret plans of a powerful quartet of upper-echelon Rolling Stones groupies in Washington, DC, Garrett and U.S. Armed Forces establish their bona fides as true patriots on the cutting edge of freedom as they struggle for survival against the rising tide of Islamic extremism and the reemergence of the Empire of the Sun in the ever-expanding Global War on Terror.
In the stunning prequel to his award-winning novel Rogue Threat, A.J. Tata creates an uncanny sense of presence on and off the battlefield in Sudden Threat, a novel rife with conspiracy, diplomatic double-talk, betrayal, loyalty, valor and honor.

"Not what I expected!"
I was deeply disappointed with this one. The narrator was absolutely horrible and the story line seemed a bit confusing and hard to follow.
Probably not.
Extremely distracting and added to the confusion.
First time with this author and not likely to repeat it.
"A hard listen!!!"
The narration of this book is poor! I'm blind and am thankful for those that read these books but, this narrator lacks the feeling / passion of this story .
Just couldn't get into the people because of the reader.
"Very fast paced. Easy to get lost"
Easy to get lost in this book. Poor transitions from scene to scene, one second you're in DC the next without warning, you are in Japan and time has jumped.
If any heros are left alive...then yes.
"Great story annoying narration"
I enjoyed the story but the narration made it almost unbearable. Truly, this is the only book I almost gave up on simply because of the narration. It was not smooth, professional and the character differentiation was weak with poorly performed accents. I have listened to many books over many years, I should have stopped early on and just read the book myself. Good plot and characters.
Poor elocution, timing and lack of flow, character definition very weak. Accents almost insulting.

Please provide us with your input on a Public Access Channel. Click here to take our survey. The survey will be available through Nov. 30, and results will be presented to Council and made available to the public in December or January.
On Thursday, Nov. 15, the city held a meeting to get citizen input about the possibility of getting another public TV channel.
Citizens were asked to provide input about a proposal brought forward by a community group to operate an additional public TV channel that would be obtained by the city from TimeWarner Cable. The city already has one public government channel (GTV-Channel 8) on TimeWarner, but according to the proposal by Southeastern Alliance for Community Change, the additional channel would be a public access channel that would allow for "content generated by the people and for the people" such as local churches and other community groups.
According to the City Attorney's Office, there is some dispute about whether or not the city is entitled to another channel and could face legal challenges to obtain a channel, as well as challenges to what channel might be available from TimeWarner. If the city were able to obtain another channel, it would be legally responsible for all content and operations, even if the channel was managed by an outside group. Because the channel would be public, almost all types of content would be permissible in order to meet free speech rights.
The City Council has asked for additional input about the issue before making a final decision about whether to seek another channel. After the meeting, a web-based survey will be available to get input from anyone who cannot attend the Nov. 15 meeting.

The Shanghai Institute for Electromechanical Design began development of China's first sounding rocket, the T-7, in October 1959. The first step was production and test of the T-7M subscale prototype. Under the leadership of Wang Xi Ji , China's first sounding rocket launch was completed at the seaside site of Laoqong, near Shanghai. The launch site consisted of a sandbag bunker and a 50 kW generator for power. Communications between the launch bunker and the outlying pad and tracking sites was by hand signal or relayed shouting. Tracking was done by manually-operated homing antennae. Bicycle pumps were used to fuel the rocket. The first successful launch of the liquid-fuelled T-7M to an altitude of 8.0 km came on February 19, 1960. On May 28, 1960, Mao Zedong, Yang Shangkun and other leaders visited a showroom of leading edge products at the Shanghai New Technology Exposition. As they stopped at the model of the T-7M, the interpreter related that the success had been achieved without the help of Soviet experts, and that the developers were all younger than 25. Chairman Mao was impressed and said the development team should push on to 200 kilometres or higher. In December 1960 the T-7M reached 9.8 kilometres supplemented by solid boosters.
In March 1960 work began on a launch pad for the full-scale T-7 in a mountainous area of Guangde in southern Anhui Province. The launch site was jointly funded by the Chinese Academy of Sciences' (CAS) Institute of Geophysics and the Shanghai Institute for Electromechanical Design. The full-scale T-7 rocket consisted of a liquid-propellant unguided core rocket surrounded by solid fuel boosters. It was 10 m long, 0.45 m in diameter and had a total mass of 1,138 kg. It was designed to loft a payload of 25 kilograms to an altitude of 60 kilometres. The first successful launch came on September 13, 1960. After several further tests, not all successful, it reached its design altitude in a flight to 58 kilometres on November 23, 1961. In May 1961, the Science and Technology Commission for National Defence ordered CAS to characterise atmospheric temperature, pressure, density and winds up to an altitude of 100 kilometres. The basic T-7 model could conduct such surveys up to 58 km. From 1960 to 1965, a total of 24 T-7's were launched in nine flight series. This included nine launches with the required meteorological payloads from August 4, 1963.
The T-7 telemetry system was developed by the CAS Institute of Automation (then called the First Design Institute) and the tracking system by the CAS Institute of Geophysics (Second Design Institute). From 1959 to 1965 Institute of Geophysics built the test facilities required to qualify the components for flight. These included vibration and impact platforms, high altitude pressure chambers, a high-decibel acoustic lab, a 6 m diameter centrifuge, and an ultra-vacuum 2 m diameter space simulator.

Sometimes it's all about the bugs, like an experiment to reroute ants. Sometimes it's about how we interact with bugs, like the workshop on spider phobias. You can even turn your friends into bug bait to see who has the sweetest skin.
The book is peppered with sidebars from entomologists and is sure to inspire a new appreciation for the buggy world we live in.

Full SubmissionIntroduction Next year, in June 2012, world leaders and civil society meet for the Rio + 20 conference. While the global economy faces increasing challenges and the planetary environment is under stress as never before, it is clear to us that these twin challenges must be tackled together. Rio + 20, with its? focus on the transition to a green and sustainable economy, offers a unique opportunity to make a new programme for genuinely sustainable development globally, nationally and locally. At present the lack of commitment to the Rio + 20 event from governments is alarmingly weak. We, as non-governmental organisations within global civil society, want to increase the engagement of governments while ensuring that discussions before and in Rio + 20 take a positive and forward-looking view of a global green economy and lead to real commitments and lasting change. This paper is a contribution to this process. It sets out a set of goals and priorities for action by governments and others. It draws from many sources and discussions including the recent declaration from the UN DPI conference held in Germany in September 2011. We invite all organisations concerned for sustainable development and the success of Rio + 20 to discuss and support these goals. 1) Commitment to Rio + 20 Despite some progress made since the UN Earth Summit in Rio in 1992, human-induced loss of biodiversity, global climate change, desertification, deforestation, acidification of the oceans, and many other problems continue. The current economic model promotes unsustainable consumption and production patterns, facilitates an inequitable trading system, has failed to eradicate poverty, assists exploitation of natural resources towards the verge of extinction, and has induced multiple crises on Earth. The urgency to change the roots of our economic model has to be stressed. As civil society we want to promote fair and equitable sustainable development for all with respect for the limits of our common ecological and social capital. We urge governments to send their Heads of State or Government with the commitment to End the Rio+20 conference with a roadmap and politically binding targets for each country to meet an agreed set of goals: the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and agree on a strategy to achieve them. Agree on a set of principles, linked to the Agenda 21 principles, to frame the transition to a Green and Fair Economy. 2) The transition to a green and sustainable economy We recognise that: Our current economic models suffer from a series of market and institutional failures. It does not need reform but replacement. A true ?green? economy within a sustainable society requires policies that make the step from efficiency toward sufficiency. So far there is little sign that the technology and efficiency approach can lead to the reductions in the use and waste of both renewable and non-renewable resources on the scale that is needed to tackle climate change, biodiversity loss, detoxifying our environment and enable us to live within global limits. The steps taken so far fail to meet the scale and urgency of the problems humanity is confronted with: as such the approach taken to achieve sustainable production and consumption so far has been too weak. We call for a stronger approach to sustainability. We need technological innovations and efficiency gains and we need to make them universally available but we have to recognise that these will never be enough to achieve an economy that stays within the limits set by nature and by the social capital we have. We urge leaders to face the facts: if we really want to halt the path of destruction that we're still in, then we need this stronger approach to sustainability. That means we need sufficiency policies for countries that are currently consuming beyond global limits. We have to stop telling consumers that they need to consume more in order to save the economy. Despite agreements at Rio 1992 and Johannesburg 2002 there has been a clear failure to integrate environmental, social and development priorities into economic policies. Social engagement and other elements of ?well-being? that are at the core of sustainable development are still not taken into account when making economic policy. We have to shift from economic growth and more consumption to more well-being for all and more equal opportunities to consume in ways that foster social values and stay within the limits set by nature. We urge governments to: Establish national roadmaps for a green and sustainable economy, based on the fair share of natural resources and CO2 emissions. Policies for sustainable and humane agriculture need to be an important part of this, given its fundamental importance with regards to food security, food sovereignty, livelihoods, human health, animal welfare and environmental impacts. Establish on a global scale a set of Millennium Consumption Goals (MCGs) for the period 2012-2031 towards establishing an intergenerational right to equitable consumption opportunities. Over-consumption needs to be capped and gradually lowered in order to give the necessary environmental space for under-consumers to meet their basic needs. Rethink the financing of social security systems currently based on continuous economic growth, which perpetuate the crisis, and with this rethinking start to move towards an economic model that is grounded in sustainable development principles; 3) Improved and new forms of governance to enable that transition We recognise that: The crises we face are multiple and complex, and that existing institutions are inadequate to tackle these challenges to humanity. Changes will be needed at every level, but action at the global and intergovernmental level will provide critical leadership in this process of change. We urge governments to: Establish a global sustainable development coordinating mechanism and parallel institutions at the national level, empowered to pursue system-wide policy coherence for Bretton Woods and UN institutions to advance sustainable development principles, pathways, and policies in a coordinated manner. A Council of the UN General Assembly on sustainable development should ensure that governance for sustainable development is at the top of the UN agenda. Upgrade UNEP to the status of specialised agency in the UN system. Upgrade the International Panel of the sustainable use of Natural Resources. To implement the MCGs and a "resource capped economy? this panel has to define the sustainable extraction limits on a series of resources and define the fair share of distribution/capping of these resources. Establish an International Environmental Court to implement environmental justice on a global scale. Crimes against the environment should be considered as a criminal offence and should be treated as such by this court. End the criminalisation of environmental movements and activists where this is occurring. Establish an Ombudspersons for Future Generations at global, national and local levels, who will advocate for sustainable development, serve as an auditor at the heart of governments and deal with citizens complaints. Develop regional or international conventions to take forward Principle 10 of the Rio Declaration to ensure access to information, public participation and access to justice in environmental decision-making. Develop a Precautionary Principle Convention to assess new and emerging technologies, armed with the legal power to ban technologies that put the planet at grave risk. Develop and resource National Councils on Sustainable Development to drive the transition to green economies and develop a national sustainable green economy roadmap for each Member State of the UN by 2017. Other governance levels should do the same. Recognise that meaningful coordination and participation processes among civil society organisations require reliable and stable resources; we therefore urge a steady increase in the funding for such processes achieves a better balance between core- and project-based funding. Many of the specific points in this text are taken from the declaration of the 64th Annual UN DPI/NGO conference in Bonn (3-5 Sept 2011).

Our Philosophy &
Whether studying in Pittsburgh, New York or via distance learning, all students benefit from the renowned culture of interdisciplinary innovation at Carnegie Mellon University.
Location Options
The MSCF degree is delivered to Full-Time students in New York and Pittsburgh. Full-time staff dedicated to academic advising, employment counseling and technology are located at both of our campus locations. The proximity of the two cities (approximately 60 minutes flying time) allows for a regular exchange of people, student services and alumni networking opportunities.
Each location has its advantages. The Pittsburgh program is housed in the Tepper School of Business where students network with the MBA students; the New York program is close to where many finance jobs are located and many of our alumni. Notwithstanding the two locations, the MSCF program is seamless in its design and execution.
Access to Faculty
One of the hallmarks of the MSCF program is our highly-dedicated faculty. Most are based in Pittsburgh and work with New York students through in-person visits and interactive video-conferencing. Typically, the instructor is present in New York for two of the seven lectures in each seven-week course. Faculty arrange their visits to include "office hours," especially before exams, so that students have the opportunity individually and in small groups to meet with faculty.
Courses also have a website on which assignments are posted and where students can post questions and engage interactively with the professor and other students. Faculty remain in New York following each lecture for discussion and social events. Faculty are also present in New York for other MSCF events, including orientation dinners, graduation dinners and alumni reunions.
Rigorous, talented & committed


text: So today I was thinking, "Hmm, I'm in the mood for music." So I went to get my headphones and ipod, and after putting my headphones on, I turn on the ipod. The thing begins to whir and then I get this display message that I need to go to the apple support center for my ipod. What the fuck. I rarely ever use that goddamn ipod and it's decided to break down on me just randomly. I thought the computers were bad, but I had a little hope for the ipod. Fucking piece of shit.

The Government Accountability Office (GAO) has released their report on Multiple Employer Plans. Officially, it is the Report to the Chairman, Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions, U.S. Senate on Private Sector Pensions: Federal Agencies Should Collect Data and Coordinate Oversight of Multiple Employer Plans.
The GAO says they did this study because:
"millions of U.S. workers lack access to employer-sponsored pension plans and that some small businesses, which offered plans at lower rates than large businesses, may be deterred by the cost of plan administration. MEPs, a type of pension plan maintained by more than one employer, have been supported as an option that could expand coverage by lowering administrative costs. For this report, GAO examined (1) the characteristics of private-sector MEPs, (2) the advantages and disadvantages of MEPs and how their perceived advantages are used to market them, and (3) how IRS and Labor regulate MEPs."
The report is an interesting read because it does a good job summarizing the MEP industry at this point in time, and discusses the issues caused by lack of coordination between the IRS and the Dept. of Labor in regulating MEPs, including how the DOL issued two recent advisory opinions finding that open MEPs are not single employer benefit plans under Title I of ERISA, while the IRS has found at least one open MEP, operating since 2003, qualified for preferential tax treatment.
In the report, the GAO makes 3 recommendations:
- 1. the DOL lead an effort to collect data on the employers that participate in multiple employer plans;
- 2. the DOL and IRS formalize their coordination with regard to statutory interpretation efforts with respect to multiple employer plans; and
- 3. the DOL and IRS should jointly develop guidance on the establishment and operation of multiple employer plans.
The GAO notes that agencies generally agree with the GAO's recommendations.
On a personal note, I've found one of the issues with trying to analyze the 5500 data on MEPs is that the plans are not great about marking the correct box on Line A of Form 5500 identifying the plan as a multiple employer plan. Form 5500 Line A contains 4 choices – a multiemployer plan; a single employer plan; a multiple employer plan; or a DFE.
Another option for identifying multiple employer plans might be through the IRS' determination letter program. Rev. Proc. 2007-44 assigns multiple employer plans to Cycle B, which means that the plans are required to restate onto an updated plan document by Jan. 31, 2013. Even though it is not required, most, if not all, multiple employer plans will also file a determination letter application with the IRS, asking the IRS to review their plan document to ensure that it meets the IRS requirements for a Cycle B plan document stated in IRS Notice 2011-97. Maybe the first step toward coordinating efforts between the DOL and IRS when it comes to multiple employer plans is for the agencies to compare the plans which identify themselves as a MEP on Form 5500 with the number of plans which identify themselves to the IRS as a MEP when filing a determination letter application.

a place for zinesters - writers and readers
Views: 20417
I've never really publicized my zines, just have quietly attended Canzine West, which usually amounts to a hill of beans but is still rather fun as long as you have a flask tucked in your pocket.
I have a few things on various distros like Sweet Candy and Antiquated Futures, but now ...da na na!...here is an Etsy store:
A bunch of solidly-written, lengthy, funny/smart good ol' fashioned zines. Perfect for long bus rides or sunny park benches. Thanks, I love you all!
The latest, OPTOGRAM, is a hundred damn pages for three (3!) dollars.
Who knows what the caged bird thinks...?
This is the first in a series of zines about my uncle who died in 1995 and who I never really knew. In collaboration with members of my family, I try to understand how he lived and loved in a polyamorous queer Quaker intentional community in rural Ohio.
Half comic book; half zine, issue #1 features oral history with my Grandma and a brief introduction to Quakerism in the US. A5, 32 pages, two color (blue and black) riso printed throughout with over 30 original illustrations. Printed by Footprint Workers Co-op in Leeds, England.
Free riso printed bookmark with every zine! Available here.
Once again, The Last Word is busting its butt to churn out another issue, and this is a special one. It's a "PLANES, TRAINS, AND BUSES" edition!!!
That's right, peepos! This ish is all about mass transport - including a recent bus trip from hell! While much of this edition is a mind-blowing critique of the likes of Greyhound and Delta, there's so much more! There's even another hilarious poo-poo story!
So point your pooper here...
Just finished my first zine in EIGHT YEARS!!! Been working on this for months and am very happy with how it turned out, so I hope you'll all give it a look. (Scrambling to finish another two before the Brooklyn Zine Fest on 4/26, so expect me to post about those shortly.)
Here's the description from Etsy....
Some Notes on Film, Vol. 1
Debut issue! Eight essays on various films and on film, filmmaking, and art in general. Features original illustrations as well as film stills.
I started Some Notes on Film as a way of encouraging myself to articulate my free floating thoughts about the films I watch. Instead of writing reviews, I try burrowing into specifics: particular themes, motifs, aesthetic choices. I'm writing from the perspective of a filmmaker, and so the observations I make are usually somehow related to me thinking through my own practice.
Topics for this issue include:
- Steve Martin's goofy tenderness in The Jerk
- Josh Safdie's microbudget indie The Pleasure of Being Robbed (as seen on the cover)
- Brian Eno's idea of art as a "trigger for experience" (and why I don't like it)
- Robert Altman's The Long Goodbye and Renaissance painter Pieter Bruegel
- Ain't Them Bodies Saints compared to Terrence Malick's Badlands
- Billy Wilder's The Apartment and physicality in screenwriting
- the difficulty of portraying digital life in movies
- plus a lengthy intro essay on the differences between zines and blogs

Hello!! I'm really sucky with introductions but my name is Logan and I am sixteen years old and run a zine in Delaware. THE COLLAR TONES is a quarterly zine about art, culture, and writing! Spring 2014 / Issue #5 includes an interview with drag queen OKStupid (Jake Thompson) and a piece on how to throw a good party by club kid Nicky Ottav. This issue also marks the year anniversary of when I started this zine. It is 30 pages in black and white with color accents. You can view it online here. I am currently working on the next issue for summer but I hope you enjoy this! If you have any comments/critiques/suggestions or if you want to subscribe for one year (4 print issues) for $5, let me know!! Email me: firstname.lastname@example.com
OH AND ALSO I have a small haiku zine cleverly titled "Haikus of an Angsty Gay" that I am selling for $2. It is a 4x6 inch zine with 56 pages created in a punk fashion. This zine differs very much from my main zine. If you're interested, please let me know!
Shelf Life issue 1 - "The East Village Triangle"
Debut issue! A chronicle of me and my girlfriend's adventures in used book hunting. Issue 1 covers NYC's East Village. Part store review, part book review, part perzine, part travel guide. Includes original photographs and illustrations.
Over the past few years, the two of us (Annie and Tim) have become obsessed with digging through shelves, stacks, boxes, carts, and racks in search of great used book finds. We even plan our vacations around visiting every bookstore we can manage within a given area. So we decided to write Shelf Life as a way of sharing the stories of our adventures in used book hunting. We write about the stores themselves, as well as about the books we found there, and our experiences passing through the various cities we've been to. This first issue focuses on our home turf and on some of our most beloved and frequented shops. Future issues will center around different cities or regions we've visited.
Stores visited in this issue:
- Strand Book Store
- Alabaster Bookshop
- East Village Books
Plus, "Have You Read _____?" - a dispatch from the Strand carts.

With the weather we've been having you can't help but realize that butterfly season is right around the corner. The library has lots of really good books on butterflies. One of them is simply called Butterflies by Seymour Simon. Simon does children's science educational books with simple titles like Cats, Global Warming, The Universe and Penguins and they all have great pictures. The pictures are all close-up and graphic. His books are colorful and well written. The information is useful and comprehensive at a child's level. There's no better way for you and your kids to spend the day than in the garden with this book looking for butterflies and learning just about everything they need to know about them.

The big event of the weekend is Taste of the Wasatch this Sunday, at Solitude Mountain Resort.
Food tastings from more than 50 of Utah's top restaurants, plus sips from boutique wineries and craft brewers, in a grassy alpine meadow, with live music, terrific auctions of local goods and services and all the money goes to feed the hungry right here in northern Utah. You can still get tickets online.
To me, Taste of the Wasatch (formerly Taste of the Nation) signals the beginning of the end of summer in northern Utah, the way Salt Lake magazine's Tastemakers event marks the season's beginning.
And we are nearing the end of many of summer's great food events, like
Hops on the Hill
There are two night's left of Stein Eriksen's Tuesday Night summer festival featuring beer tastings by one of Utah's finest award-winning craft breweries with Chef Zane's patio barbeque pairings. Tastings start at 4:30 p.m. and are followed by a free concert on the lawn at 6 p.m.
Tuesday, August 7: RedRock Brewery & Mister Sister
Tuesday, August 14: Squatters Brewing Company & Jagertown
$30 in advance; $35 at the event. Call 435-645-6455 to reserve your spot.
Solitude's Sunday Night Pig Roast
There are three nights left of Chef Michael Richey's Pig Roast–an entire local porker slow-cooked and served with all the sides and live music. From 3 p.m. until 6 p.m.
Sunday, August 26
Sunday, September 2
Sunday, September 9
For only $25 per adult, $40 with beer, $15 per child
Admission tickets will be sold at the Stone Haus the day of the event.
Wasatch Mountain TableHere's my take on this event; I enjoyed it last weekend. There's ust one date left for this: Saturday, September 15th
Featuring Chef Michael Richey preparing fresh, local food al fresco. The appetizer reception is followed by a four course dinner (with optional wine pairings) at a communal alongside Big Cottonwood Creek where you're joined by the local farmers, growers and food producers who provided the food for your meal.
$95 per person/$125 per person with wine pairings

Rappers, fans of rap and all who oppose gun violence packed the Catholic Charities Lt. Joseph P. Kennedy Jr. Center for a 12-hour nonstop Rapathon on April 6.
"Put your guns down: go to peace side up," marchers chanted as they joined the End Gun Violence Rapathon.
The Rapathon was open to anyone with a love for Hip Hop, a determination to end gun violence and – the tricky part – the ability to rhyme for 90 seconds straight without cursing.
The community event showcased talented Emcees focused on helping change the current culture of gun violence. Sponsored by the Hip Hop Culture Center in Harlem, it supported Harlem Mothers S.A.V.E., an organization of mothers and fathers who lost children to gun violence.
"We can't bring our kids back but we can certainly try to help another mother and another mother's child by doing prevention and education," says organization cofounder Jackie Rowe Adams.
Rapper Homeboy Sandman offered a sample. "Five weeks you were alive," he rapped. "Had full curly hair; big beautiful eyes."
Ms. Adams, unfortunately, knows firsthand what this type of loss feels like.
"I've lost two kids to gun violence," she said. "The pain never goes away."

Millions of families have lost their homes to violence and war. Some, such as the Nigerian man for whom Mr. Von Sternberg successfully gained asylum, lost body parts. Others lost husbands, wives and children.
Tune in to our recent show on JustLove on The Catholic Channel 129, SIRIUS XM Satellite Radio to learn more.
World Refugee Day is a time when the United Nations, Catholic Charities and other civic and religious groups honor the courage, strength and determination of women, men and children who are forced to flee their homes under threat of persecution, conflict and violence.
The Catholic Charities Refugee Resettlement Program is dedicated to serving survivors of violence and persecution who have fled their home countries to seek a new life in the United States. Catholic Charities Community Services assists family members and sponsors in making applications for refugees who are outside the United States, and for asylees with recently obtained status.
Multilingual, multicultural staff assist in the processing of refugee applications with overseas posts and make pre-arrival arrangements to assure that the refugee will be cared for upon arrival to the United States. After arrival, the office provides direct services, material assistance, job search assistance, job training and placement, ESL classes, school enrollment and other social services.

Swimming And Diving Flexes Muscle In Milwaukee
Nov. 8, 2003
Milwaukee, Wis. If ever the Flames were to be rewarded for their depth, Saturday was the day.
The UIC swimming and diving squads turned in a phenomenal overall performance at the UW-Milwaukee Quad Meet at the Panthers' Klotsche Center on Saturday, scoring four wins overall in a packed pool. With a dual meet system in place for the four-team event, UIC's men's team (3-1, 2-1 Horizon League) finished their day undefeated at 2-0, earning a 171-124 win over Evansville and edging the rival Panthers, 158-141. The Flames' women (3-2, 1-2 Horizon League) took two of three, beating Evansville, 165-127, and Northern Iowa, 159.50-135.50, before falling to UW-Milwaukee, 190-109.
The UIC women turned in balanced performances throughout the day, led by freshman Jessica Darud's second-place finishes in the 100-yard and 200-yard backstroke events. Darud was narrowly denied first in the 100-yard race with a time of 1:00.70, just short of Evansville sophomore Asuka Bunazawa's 1:00.56. Bunazawa also edged Darud in the 200-yard event, finishing a mere three seconds ahead of Darud.
Sophomores Laura Martensen and Aisha Williams turned in strong times on Saturday, with Martensen taking second in the 500-yard freestyle and third in the 1000-yard free, while Williams scored second in the 100-yard freestyle and third in the 100-yard fly. Juniors Vanessa Segovia, Alicia Perry, and Christine Hare and freshman Kelly Hyatt pitched in with fourth-place finishes during the meet.
The women also received a well-rounded diving effort from freshman Sarah Economides, sophomore Tara Goodwin, and junior Caitlin Carey.
Senior Enric Claret led the men's team by winning the 200-yard breaststroke (2:13.87) and turning in an overpowering performance in the 400-yard IM with a time 4:13.93, finishing the event with a ten-second lead over second-place finisher Mike Lonergan of Evansville. Claret also took second in a close men's 200-yard butterfly event with a time of 1:56.75 and helped the Flames' 400-yard medley relay team finish second.
Claret's outstanding contribution was not the only thing that propelled the UIC men. Junior Stefan Staev, sophomores Adan Jimenez and LeRoy Stevens, and freshman Blake Booher all turned in second-place finishes, while junior Brian Kroes and sophomores Bill Hare and Ari Bernstein pitched in with third-place rankings.
Freshmen Mark Pappalardo, Mike Horwitz and Ryan Fitzer were excellent on the boards for the Flames. Pappalardo continued his fantastic start to the season with a first-place finish in the one-meter event while taking fourth on the three-meter boards. Horwitz took third in the one-meter dive and Fitzer captured second on the three-meter board.
The Flames return to action on Saturday, November 15th for a Horizon League dual meet against Butler at the UIC Natatorium starting at 6 p.m.

"More and more, her brain was short-circuiting." Alex Witchel wasn't about to accept her mother's encroaching dementia without a fight. There were specialists to be seen. Perscriptions to be adjusted. Neurotransmitter-boosting fun to be scheduled (even if her mother resisted. " 'You can't make me happier,' she said. 'I'm losing myself. What's to be happy about?' "). Layered with her mother's recipes, All Gone (Riverhead) is a testament to love, tenacity and the power of home cooking.

All Saints Anglican - Part 2
All for now,
4 comments:
This is heartbreaking, and shocking, and infuriating. It is also deeply worrying, because the custodians of this building also own some of the most extraordinary historical architecture in the country.ReplyDelete
I am a CFA who has come here specifically to study such architecture. And as astonished as I am at the richness of this heritage, I am sometimes even more astonished at the cavalier attitude of a few of its custodians.
So, what can be done? If not for All Saints, then for the many other heritage buildings that will soon be in the crosshairs? Is there any way we can rally opinion, cajole, fight apathy and advance an alternative vision?

Does nova scotia have the equivalent to the National Trust in BritianReplyDelete
Equivalent is probably the key word in your question. We have both the Nova Scotia Heritage Trust and the Heritage Canada Foundation but neither group has near the power or resources of the British National Trust. It woulod be nice if we did have something similar.ReplyDelete
- vanessaNovember 15, 2009 at 4:30 PM
what a pity that the church is allowed to be torn down. It alters the feel of a town or village and takes away its character.ReplyDelete

Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/lv97zj/global) has announced the addition of the "Global High-performance Computing Server Market Forecasts & Opportunities, 2018" report to their offering.
The market has recently witnessed the emergence of cloud-based HPC solutions, referred to as HPCaaS. Although cloud-based HPC accounts for a very small portion of the overall market, its deployment is gaining popularity in some organizations. These organizations are using cloud-based HPC solutions to improve operational efficiency in a cost-effective manner. It optimizes the business process and increases organizations' profits, thereby enhancing the productivity and competitive advantage. However, most cloud deployments are being done through private cloud models, rather than public cloud, due to data security and other concerns.
There are many factors driving the growth of the Global HPC Server market, one of the main growth drivers is the increase in big data. In the current business environment, every organization, irrespective of its size, stores a considerably large amount of data. The importance of a big data solution increases with the growth of the business. HPC solutions help organizations record the growth of their business over a specific period, which indicates the speed at which the business is developing. It also helps organizations analyze this stored data for future reference. Some of the areas where big data is applied are enterprise analytics, real-time analytics, data mining, research analytics, complex event processing, visualization, and research analytics.
Further, the report states that one of the main challenges is the huge investment requirement, as the deployment of HPC solutions is an expensive process. Enterprises face resource constraints and technological obsolescence factors while upgrading their existing HPC resources. This requires expensive infrastructure and complex programming, which in turn increases the criticality of the process.
Key vendors dominating this space are
- Cray Inc.
- Dell Inc.
- Hewlett-Packard Co.
- IBM Corp.
- Silicon Graphics International Corp.
Other vendors mentioned in the report are
- Bull SAS
- Dawning Information Industry Co.
- Fujitsu Ltd.
- Hitachi Data Systems
- NEC Corp.
