The first thing you need to do is look at the agreement that you entered into with your contractor; its terms should spell out specified start and completion dates, cancellations, refunds, and any other provisions addressing the rights and obligations of the parties. However, even if you had only a verbal agreement, you likely still have recourse against the contractor.
If the contractor has or is required to have a state license under Georgia law, you may be able to prompt his cooperation by reporting him to the State Licensing Board for Residential and General Contractors, a part of the Georgia Secretary of State. While not all construction occupations require a state contractor's license, a great number of activities that require building permits do. Notably, though, the state allows licensure exemptions for a wide range of specialty contractors, like roofers, painters, brick masons, and even those who focus on concrete work. A complete list of specialty contractor services may be found with the Secretary of State at www.sos.ga.gov/plb or the Homebuilders Association of Georgia at www.hbag.org.
Further, and perhaps more importantly, most local county or city jurisdictions require all contractors – whether state licensed or not – to have a local license, such as a business license required for tax purposes. So, some specialty contractors may be required to hold a local license.
Also, local ordinances may require a contractor to obtain a building permit in the process of performing such work. You can check with your county or city government to make sure your contractor has the proper local licensing and you can report him to the proper authority if he is operating without the required state or local license.
If you cannot resolve the problem directly with the contractor, there are several options available to you. If you paid with a credit card, you may be able to dispute the charge with your credit card provider. You can also contact the Better Business Bureau to see if they will help mediate a solution between you and the contractor.
Additionally, you may want to consult a private attorney to determine the extent of legal options available to you. To find a lawyer in your area, contact your local bar association. A list of the bar associations in Georgia can be found on the State Bar of Georgia's website: www.gabar.org.
Finally, you can submit a complaint to the Federal Trade Commission at www.ftc.gov, or to the Georgia Department of Law's Consumer Protection Unit at www.consumer.ga.gov or by calling 404-651-8600.

There are several types of liens that can be attached to a person's property. Each has a different expiration date, and if successfully enforced, could result in the sale of your property to obtain the amount of the lien from the proceeds (with any remaining funds going to the property holder). While this list is not exhaustive, the most common types of liens are:
Tax Liens
A state tax lien occurs when taxes are due to the state, or to counties of the state, or other special tax districts of the state. State tax liens don't expire, and the only way to get rid of them is to pay the amount owed—otherwise, when you sell your home, the state will collect the amount owed from the proceeds of the sale.
A federal tax lien is one that the federal government can use when you fail to pay a tax debt. A federal tax lien exists after the IRS puts your balance due on the books (assesses your liability), then sends you a bill that explains how much you owe (Notice and Demand for Payment) after you fail to fully pay the debt in time. The lien continues until it is paid, or it expires. Generally, the IRS has ten years to collect after it is assessed. The IRS can extend the ten years under two different circumstances. First, the statute of limitations can be extended if you enter into an installment agreement; this extends the expiration date to 89 days after the installment agreement expires. The second is a release of levy with an agreement to extend the statute of limitations to a specific date, provided the extension date hasn't passed. A release of levy may be given if the lien is creating an immediate economic hardship. This doesn't mean you are excused from paying what is owed, only that you will be given some leeway to make the payments. The IRS will generally work with you to establish a payment plan or other steps to help you pay off the balance.
Judgment Lien
A judgment lien is created when a judgment is obtained in superior, magistrate, or other state courts. This lien can become unenforceable after seven years, if the lien holder doesn't seek to enforce the lien by providing public written notice of its efforts, and by including the names of the parties to the enforcement action, the nature of the action, and having it recorded in the court. The lien holder is able to re-record the judgment every seven years to keep it enforceable; however, if the lien holder fails to re-record the lien within the seven year period, he or she has only three years after that expiration date to re-record it. If the lien holder fails to re-record during the three years, he or she is barred from enforcing the judgment.
Laborer's Lien
A laborer's lien is a lien filed by a person who provides services under a contract for manual labor or physical work. The lien can only be for the work performed, and cannot include any materials provided (but these would fall under a materialman's lien, described below). The lienholder must go to court to obtain a judgment against you within twelve months, or the lien becomes unenforceable.
Mechanic's or materialman's lien
A mechanic's or materialman's lien is a type of lien that contractors, subcontractors, and others who have contributed services and/or materials to improve a new or existing home can file against a homeowner's property if they do not get paid, even if the homeowner paid the general contractor. Liens like this don't go on your credit report, and expire within 12 months unless the subcontractor or contractor actually files a lawsuit to collect the money.
First, please recognize that there is a possibility this is a fraudulent Claim of Lien. Some scammers place mechanic's liens on real property in an attempt to get money when the house is later sold, claiming that money was owed for work done on the house, which in reality was never done. This type of scam is not uncommon.
Further, if the party which filed the Claim of Lien meets the legal definition of "a supplier to a sub-subcontractor" as you state, then a possible issue arises as to whether the supplier is contractually too remote to have the right to make out a valid lien claim. The test is whether your contractor knew of the supplier's connection to the construction work at the time the materials were furnished.
If the supplier did make itself known to your contractor, then it becomes vital to determine if the contractor properly paid over monies ultimately owed the supplier and, if not, then you can be held responsible for ensuring that anyone contributing labor or materials to improve your property gets paid. Fortunately, the law provides ways that you may in some cases be able to use to get rid of a claim of lien that is improperly worded or filed. If you or your attorney identifies a defect in the lien, you may be able to convince the lien claimant to cancel the lien or, failing that, you can then file a Notice of Contest. Examples of possible defects include, but are not limited to: not filing the Claim of Lien within 90 days of completion of the work; failure to send a copy of the Claim of Lien via registered or certified mail or overnight delivery to the property owner within two business days after filing; and incorrectly identifying the property, its location or the name of the property owner. It is also possible that either the supplier or a party in the chain above the supplier has provided a partial waiver of lien in return for receiving a partial payment, and this should be ascertained as well.
A Notice of Contest is a document which can be filed in the real estate records of your county and mailed to the lien claimant, demanding that the lien claimant file suit or have the lien expire within 60 days. Forms for the Notice of Contest are contained in Title 44 of the Georgia Code.
If you are not planning to move in the next year, and the Claim of Lien is for a low dollar amount that you do not expect the lien claimant to file suit over, then you may want to just wait it out until the lien expires on its own within twelve months. A lot of liens are wiped out this way each year, because the party who filed the lien claim never files a lawsuit. This is especially true if the amount of the lien does not warrant the expense of a lawsuit.
If you do intend to sell your home soon, you may want to bond off the lien claim. The lien claim will then be against the bond instead of your home.
In any event, because the subject of mechanic's liens is quite complex, this is especially a matter about which qualified legal advice should be sought before acting.

Ombudsmen for children, also known as children's defenders, are autonomous State agencies dedicated to the defence and promotion of human rights for children, operating in Latin America from national ombudsman offices. Ombudsmen for children constitute key players in national systems independently monitoring the fulfilment of human rights for children. National institutions for human rights and the defenders or procurers of these rights for children are crucial in the promotion and surveillance of the application of international instruments protecting children's human rights. In view of the importance of these institutions, the IIN is in the process of preparing a project which will strengthen the means to defend and promote these rights.
An study is currently under way which, when completed, will allow us to know the status of ombudsman offices in relation to the Paris Principles and General Comment Nº2 of the Committee on the Rights of the Child, two documents which are fundamental for the work of these institutions. In addition, the project includes a protocol for ombudsmen which will facilitate their intervention in different situations which violate human rights, and which will provide channels of coordination between ombudsman offices when dealing with international situations. It will also include the creation of a training programme for professionals and technicians in ombudsman offices for the human rights of children. A web site will also be developed providing important information regarding children's rights from the perspective of the work of ombudsmen, as well as the means to exchange information and establish a forum for significant matters.

Many green advocates look for ways to lessen their use of resources, and live with a smaller environmental footprint. A growing number of people and families have taken this idea a step further and literally reduced their living space to a much smaller size- The Tiny Project.
The tiny house movement is rapidly gaining popularity in the US and elsewhere around the world. Though no two tiny homes are identical, they share many core principles, and of course, they are all quite tiny! Though a tiny house can be built on a foundation, many people choose to build on a flatbed trailer, in order to make the house mobile, and to avoid minimum square footage requirements that most municipalities have in place for permanent structures.
Building on a trailer means the house is considered more like an RV, and does not need to adhere to the same permits, codes, and rules associated with building a normal home. The trick with trying to live full-time in a psuedo-RV is where to park it.
Tiny houses built on trailers have their own set of restrictions, mostly with regard to size. In order to easily move the house, to adhere to DOT regulations, the finished house can be no wider than 8.5 feet, and no taller than 13.5 feet. Length is not limited, though most people build on 16 or 20 foot trailers. With these general size restrictions, the typical tiny house will be well under 200 sq. ft., often including a loft area to add extra space for a bed.
In pursuit of a simpler life, more time and lower overheads, more and more people are experimenting with this micro-living experiment – with amazing results.
"Inhabiting such a small space will force me to live in a simpler, more organized and efficient way. Without room to hoard things and hide away from the world, I'll be forced to spend more time outdoors, in nature and engaging with my community," says Alex Lisefski. He designed, built and lives in a tiny house with his girlfriend and dog. He also sells plans for tiny houses.
Alex believes that tiny living increases social consciousness as well as personal goals. Utility bills are small, water must be conserved and used wisely, and one becomes more prudent with life choices when there is little space to build up clutter, hoard unneeded items, and make unneeded purchases. Focus changes from me centered to community centered. It stimulated the use of brain power rather than possession collection. With pared down possessions to maintain, time can be spent working toward community good, nature preservation, and helping others. All these goals lead to a richer culture and a greener environment.

Sorscha the Serious
We're starting to see a more wakeful baby now. She's staying awake during longer periods of the day – only to nurse relentlessly upon her mother. She has gained a good amount of weight and shows all signs of being a very healthy girl. Of some uniqueness, she's quite grunty. We get the impression that she's largely displeased with being awake. However, she's still not very fussy. As we're seeing more of her eyes now, I think they're going to be green/hazel like ours.
Sorscha Valkyrie
The latest member of our family made her gooey entrance around noon today. She cleans up well, however. Balthazar is so happy to be a big brother, and Sorscha's mother and I are, of course, completely in love with the new girl. She's such a beautiful, healthy girl; I couldn't ask for anything more. Mommy is doing very well after her surgery too. She'll be getting up tomorrow to begin her walking recovery and we should be heading home in a few days.
Sorscha Valkyrie Gradin weighed in at 6lbs. 11oz. and measured 20.5″ in length. She's capable of thawing icebergs with a look, but has used her powers for good to warm the heart of every soul she meets.
Smallest, and Newest Member of the Empire's Finest
Guess who has the coolest costume on the block? Balthazar does! His best (and only) Uncle-figure went all out and got together a suit of youth Storm Trooper gear for Balthazar this year. He's been working on it for a while now and it's finally finished. Sunday, he brought it over and we had an event of fitting it to him. It took all day of Jeff sitting on a partially constructed floor in our garage fitting, grinding, shaping, and gluing PVC armor components for a perfect fit. Balthazar was a real trooper and went back and forth for component fittings the whole time. He was so excited about it, I don't think he even noticed the minor discomfort of ill-fitted plastic pieces. After hours of labor, the costume was finally ready for him and by dinner he was able to dance around the house in his new Storm Trooper costume. The whole thing is constructed exactly the same as the screen-accurate versions adults where. All the details are there, though he'll need a smaller blaster to fit the scale issue a bit better. Jeff and I are going to try and throw together the remaining Star Wars costumes this Halloween to take him out on the town. I'll be Chewbacca, Jeff might be C-3PO, and we'll have the littlest Storm Trooper ever. It ought to be a hoot! We've got to hit every spot in town possible to get full use out this before he out grows it…in a week! Actually, there should be enough material for him to grow into it a year or two. After that, we'll have to make a fancy display of it on a little mannequin.
Oh man, he's going to have a real ball at Halloween this year!
The First Day at School
Yesterday was Balthazar's first day of school. It started early that morning and the whole family was up for the affair. We drove him in and walked him to his class. It's one of those "big steps" in a child's life. I am excited about the idea of him becoming independent and beginning his formal education. He's growing up and I look forward to all the things we'll do together in the years to come. Amy, on the other hand, has a distinctly different take on her little baby's first steps in the big world. Her experience was miserable as a child, and didn't apparently get much better in later years. She hated school, and she doesn't want Balthazar to have a hard time either. Balthazar began his journey into the world with a brave heart. I was proud of him for being so courageous in the face of the unknown – I had very few worries.
After school, Balthazar was to take a bus over to his after-school care with some friends – apparently more like 20. We knew it was a lot to manage in one day, so we agreed to pick him up early from there. He barely managed to get out some vague details about his day before he passed out completely in his car seat. The guy was worn flat-out by his adventures. It turns out his day was a mixture of fear and fun. We weren't able to convey the amount of time he'd spend at school, though technically it was less than what he spent in pre-K and after-school before. He got scared and cried a little bit early in the day. After some lunch and recess time, it sounded like he came to better terms with it.
As parents, we hate to know that our child was upset and afraid. You're completely helpless when they're away and having these feelings. I guess that's what it is that parents really get upset over when their child gains some independence. You really feel the need to continue helping them and holding their hands when obstacles arrive, but you just have to let them make a go at it themselves. You do everything you can to ensure that they're going to do good in the world and that they'll have every manner of protection at their disposal, then you send them out the door to see how you did. It surprised me a lot that he had an emotional break-down at school. Not that that's unordinary by any means, I just thought that he would have such a great time.
Today is Friday and he's off on his second day at school. As a testament to his courage, he said yesterday that he wanted to go again. Even though there were some rough spots to contend with, Balthazar has stood back up to give it another try. I believe that he'll have done much better this time, and he may even begin doing the things that we all loved at school; making friends.

Esquire, Magazine of the Future!
Dippin' Dots are so 2000…E Ink is the future. Esquire magazine is making a bold move to use E Ink on the cover of their October magazine. What's more, they snagged the rights to the deal from E Ink Corporation for a year. That gives them megacreds towards the potential future of magazine design. Remember when National Geographic created the holographic cover? It featured the skull of Homo erectus. That was really cool in 1985, but this is quite different. Instead of a static image composed of millions of dots of color, E Ink is the application of tiny double-sided dots that react to electrical stimulation. The dots can flip when commanded to show one of two colors, typically black or white. When multiplied to the size of a magazine cover, you have a dynamic screen that has some basic video capabilities. It's the same technology used in the Amazon Kindle, if you're familiar. Esquire's plunge into this market worked out very well already. Ford was willing to pick up the additional cost of the cover's production through an advertisement. They will be featured on the inside of the cover, another piece of E Ink wonder. It will be truly amazing one day to see the photos of people on magazine covers in grocery stores winking back at you. It's Harry Potter technology brought to reality!
I don't really know what Esquire is all about, but I'll buying a copy of this one off the stands when it comes out. It's a historic moment.

Top 5: Things You Wanted to Know About Me
The meme is apparently now a lost word; used only by uncool dads and hipless (as in the lack of being hip) half-wits. I'm getting on in years, relatively speaking, and am inclined to use such lingo as to embarrass those who would be so easily offended.
For lack of better alternatives, I bring to you the current meme on my plate. Young whipper-snappers may be unfamiliar with this word, but it is essentially an Internet chain-letter. Spazzmanda passed this on to me from her blog, where she refers to such activities as "tagging." I always thought that was a cultural art of defacement by way of graffiti, but what does an old fart like me know.
The Rules: Rules are posted at the beginning. At the end of the post, the player tags 5 people and posts their names. Then the player goes to each of the "named" people's blogs and leaves a comment, letting them know they've been tagged and asking them to read your blog. If you've been tagged, you do the same, letting the person who tagged you know when you've posted your answer. Your answer, of course, is the answer to the following questions. Here we go!
1. What was I doing 10 years ago? One decade ago I was two months from my 2nd wedding anniversary with my lovely wife, Amy. We had no children, though we had pets. We were in our first year at our first house together (and current house). Amy was still in school at North Georgia College and State University (though it may not have been a State University at the time), and I was working for…Whittman-Hart, perhaps. I was a consultant beginning to cut my teeth on information systems security. It would be my primary job and objective for the next several years. I registered gradin.com for the first time – it was a standard 2-year registration and cost me $70.00 (I think my last registration was $8.95 for a year). I was finally able to access my awesome Mindspring account web space using my rocking X2 US Robotics Sportster (externel) modem via www.gradin.com. I was working in Allaire's Cold Fusion, though I couldn't afford a license for the server to host my own site using their technology. I used Allaire's Homesite as my primary editor with Photoshop and Fractal Painter as my graphics packages. I think I was trying to get onto Bellsouth's xDSL beta program, but with no luck due to my distance from the carrier. I was, however, involved with Wachovia's beta online account access. It was a glorified BBS – awesome!
2. What are 5 things on my to-do list today? I've got ESX hosts to convert to 3.5i, installable. SAN storage to attach, and VMs to migrate both through traditional migrations, as well as the new and improved Storage VMotion. I also have some process proposal documentation to get done for the collected efforts of the Norcross lab engineering team, as well as that of our Hillsboro office. I hope to get some ping-pong in at lunch, ride my bike 10 miles back to my car, and then facilitate a drum circle for 100 people in northeast Georgia with some friends.
3. Snacks I enjoy: Have you tried my nuts? They're salty and dimensionally variant. I enjoy the texture especially, though others are just happy I am able to share – there's more than enough for everyone to enjoy! I also like beef jerky and granola bars.
4. Places I've lived: I've had a good spread in my life, though as of late my homestead has been very static. I began in Ocean Springs, MI; moved to Plano, TX, and then jumped to San Diego, CA shortly thereafter. We moved a couple of times there, but finally moved out the state to Tuscon, AZ. From there, we departed for Waycross, GA, and then onto Gainesville, GA where I live now. I've moved several times throughout both of these places in Georgia, and I've been here the longest amount of time so far.
5. Things I would do if I were a billionaire: This is actually the title of a post I've been working on for a while now. It's a recurring theme throughout our decade+ of marriage, and one that will most likely continue to develop and mature in time. The most boring thing I think of from our list is to pay-off debt and acquire some commercial real estate to lease. There's money accumulation prospects in that, so we would do well to set ourselves for the inevitable loss of said billions through the frivolous purchases from our list. There are two more intriguing opportunities: 1) Develop a waterfront district on Lake Lanier – a boardwalk with shops and dining – that aids in the lake's restoration efforts, as well as providing some awareness about the lake's ecosystem. 2) Convert an old mill on the outskirts of town into a turn-of-the-century arts and crafts guild. History tells us that these guilds are mere congregations of passionate people in the arts and crafts and generally have no ability to sustain themselves financially.

World of Wheels
We attended our first ever World of Wheels show in Atlanta this year with friends. We are largely unfamiliar with the "World of Wheels," as it were, though it was actually cooler than I had imagined. Balthazar had a time running from brightly colored car to Hot Wheels-inspired dream. We enjoyed the fantastic detail put into the artwork in the show. I didn't realize that the pros painted pin stripe details by hand! We watched a guy doing some work on a Power Wheels truck. The highlight for the boy was a Lightning McQueen replica and a cameo appearance of SpongeBob and friends. While the Nickelodeon cartoon stars don't exactly say "World of Wheels," they did entertain the children.

METAMORA — Wouldn't it be lovely to see some things made of wood that are no longer in use?
The Metamora Courthouse State Historic Site, in concert with the Myers, Smyth, Keely Library, has put together a show of things made of wood from the 1700s into the early 1900s, items that are rarely seen today.
Items from toys to tools to domestic items that might be hard for some to identify are on display throughout the courthouse, although most of the exhibit is on the building's accessible first floor.
A quiz with prizes may be taken by those who would like to try identifying some of the stranger artifacts. Visitors are asked to figure out which is the schmoosher, the peel, shillelagh, the triptych, the kneading trough, weasel and the "husband beater." There is also a slaver's whip woven out of one piece of wood, an inlaid music box and Native American weaving shuttles.
The exhibit may be seen during the courthouse's regular hours, from 1 to 5 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday, or other times by appointment.
For more information, contact Jean Myers, curator, at 309-367-4470 or at firstname.lastname@example.com. Groups of 10 or more should call in advance.
The Metamora Courthouse State Historic Site, administered by the Illinois Historic Preservation Agency, was built in 1845 and is one of two remaining original courthouses on the historic Eighth Judicial Circuit. Attorney Abraham Lincoln was among those who frequented the courthouse. It is located on the town square in Metamora and is open for free public tours.

Letters to the Editor
Teresa Strasser
I was appalled and deeply disturbed by some of the letters you received (Letters, Sept. 15) regarding Teresa Strasser's Sept. 1 article and the picture of her mother and stepfather. I'm not criticizing The Jewish Journal for printing the letters; you are to be commended for exposing the naked racism extant in our community.
Obviously, the writer from Mission Viejo who withheld his/her name by request was well aware of the disgust the letter would engender. All I can say to that person is that they ought to be ashamed.To the reader who did possess the chutzpah to sign her name to her tasteless and very bigoted remarks, it should be noted that there are many of us who viewed Strasser's article as a sweet story by a child who was genuinely pleased by her mother's newfound happiness late in life; nothing more, nothing less.Alas, as we contemplate the year past and the forthcoming new year, it remains abundantly clear that we still have a lot of work to do as we continue in our attempts to heal the world.
Stu Bernstein, Santa Monica
I was shocked by the petty and bigoted response to Teresa Strasser's generous and open column that shared her family dynamics, revealed personal histories, chronicled her mother's Las Vegas nuptials, and paid a loving tribute to a "cool" and accepting stepfather whose presence and support had enormously enriched their lives.
The accompanying photo shows a jubilantly happy couple. What was not to love?
I wish the newlyweds mazal tov. I wish Teresa mazal tov. And I say mazal tov to The Jewish Journal for affirming the qualities of love and good will are not exclusive to a particular religious realm.
Kharin Mishan, South Pasadena
I am an African American just returned from my first trip to Israel. I was there for five months and fell in love with the country, the culture and the people. Through researching Jewish history, I was pleasantly surprised at the lengthy Jewish-African relationship (i.e. Moses/Zipporah, Abraham/Keturrah). I met so many wonderful Jewish people in the Holy Land (Black and white) and was often thought to be Hebrew because of the Ethiopian Jewish presence.
I looked forward to seeking out the Jewish culture here in Los Angeles, to keep up my now-elementary Hebrew and stay connected to a land that so embraced me. I was excited when I looked through a seldomly bought Los Angeles Times and The Jewish Journal fell out.
My elation quickly turned to sadness and anger as I read the letters written in response to an article by Teresa Strasser. Blatant prejudice, "Anglo" superiority and misplaced indignation slapped me in the face. If the cry had been that her husband was Christian, I would have been more understanding.
To see how totally disconnected the American Jew is from their own country, culture and history is disheartening. To think that I would never be accepted into the Jewish community I looked so forward to embracing here in Los Angeles is distressing. I'm not so narrow-minded as to think that all Jews felt the way the two people who responded do. But the fact that no positive response to the article was printed leads me to believe that, unfortunately, this could be the voice of the majority.
I totally understand why the first writer asked for her name to be withheld. I wouldn't want anyone to know I held such racist views either. Let's hope she isn't passing her own prejudices to the young Jews in her sphere of influence.
I encourage those of you who may have forgotten or never known the true diversity of your race to revisit your homeland and your history. Then you'll know that to embrace Teresa's non-Jewish stepfather is to embrace yourself.
Tish Hinton, Beverly Hills
I was appalled by the narrow-spirited views expressed regarding Teresa Strasser's mother's marriage in two letters published in the Sept. 15 Jewish Journal.
The writer who called him or herself "very unprejudiced" may be so, but he or she evoked a racist expression, "a Jewish woman in the arms of a Black man," an image which has been used to inflame hatred against Black men for generations.
The other writer characterized The Jewish Journal as an "Anglo Jewish newspaper." Really? Does that mean that Jewish Blacks need not bother to read it? I don't believe The Jewish Journal considers itself Anglo. It probably does consider itself American. The last time I checked, America stood for, among other virtues, diversity and tolerance.
While reading these letters, I thought of my white Jewish friend whose African American husband planned her son's Bar Mitzvah celebration. How's that for an example for our young Jewish people?
Janet Zarem,Pacific Palisades
It has been my experience that most Anglos claim a lack of prejudice out of ignorance rather than malice. There may be some healthy shame as well.
There is much diversity within our Jewish community. Of course, in shul I sometimes I find myself sitting with an African American, Asian or Latino who also happens to be a Jew. I have several close family members who, through intermarriage, are both Black and Jewish. These are not mutually exclusive. Many adoptions create families that are a microcosm of our human family, including people from many ethnicities who consider themselves as Jewish as anyone else. All branches of Judaism welcome Jews-by-choice, though how one becomes a Jew-by-choice is still at issue in some quarters.
Among my own friends and acquaintances, Jews who are also people of color are born into Jewish families. The Jewish Journal is our Jewish newspaper, too.
There are West Africans in New York who have been Jews for as far back as they can trace their lineage. And there were the North African Jews airlifted to safety in Israel not so long ago. There are more than a few Jews of color who regularly read The Jewish Journal. I am hopeful that some of these people will share their feelings as well. I feel very grateful that we are given so many opportunities to learn from each other. Perhaps God has given us a scenario so exquisitely woven with diversity that we might know of our interconnectedness. We all have been given the ability to love, forgive and grow. In acknowledgment of those gifts, I challenge my own assumptions and prejudices whenever an insight provokes thoughtful self-scrutiny. Without mindful reflection there can be no growth.
Marjorie Loring, Thousand Oaks
My family was shocked to read the two letters objecting to Teresa Strasser's article. These hateful letters are an embarrassment to the greater Los Angeles Jewish community and to Jews everywhere. Jews, I have noticed, are not all Anglo. In the United States and Israel, I have seen an array of skin colors. Our own family consists of multiracial members, who are just as Jewish as the letter writers.
Diane Mautner, Oxnard
The letter writer whose name was withheld writes, "I consider myself a very uprejudiced person." If the objection is to the color of the man's skin, it sounds like raw racism - an attitude, it is obvious, Jews should avoid.
Myra White, Claremont
I will share the two letters with my American history students to remind them that racism is still strong, that we must remain alert to it and fight it, and that it can come from people who have themselves been victims. To Teresa Strasser's mother: Mazal tov!
Ann Bourman, Los Angeles

I'm reading Kunen's Foundations of Mathematics and trying to solve Exercise II.16.19, which constructs an elementary extension of the reals as an ordered field, and asks the reader to prove various properties. I'm stuck on proving that there is no smallest infinitely large prime.
Here's the setup (abbreviated). $\mathcal{L}$ is the lexicon $\{0, 1, +, \cdot, -, i, <, Z\}$. $i$ here indicates "multiplicative inverse", and $Z$ is the unary predicate "is an integer". Let $\mathfrak{R}$ be the structure with universe $\mathbb{R}$, where the symbols in $\mathcal{L}$ are interpreted in the obvious way. Then let $\mathfrak{B} \succneqq \mathfrak{R}$ be a proper elementary extension of $\mathfrak{R}$, whose existence is guaranteed by the upward Löwenheim-Skolem-Tarski theorem, and $B \supsetneqq \mathbb{R}$ its universe. We note in particular that $\mathfrak{B}$ is an ordered field so usual arithmetic notation makes sense. We say an element $b \in B$ is infinitely large if $|b| > r$ for every $r \in \mathbb{R}$.
An element $p$ of a structure over $\mathcal{L}$ is prime iff we have $p \ge 2$, $Z(p)$, and there do not exist $x,y$ such that $Z(x)$, $Z(y)$, $1<x<p$, and $p=x\cdot y$. (I have tweaked Kunen's definition slightly to rule out negative primes, which are not considered in this problem.) Of course, in $\mathfrak{R}$, this is the usual notion of a prime number.
I have proved that infinitely large primes exist in $\mathfrak{B}$ and that the set of infinitely large primes in $B$ is unbounded above. Now I wish to:
Show that there is no smallest infinitely large prime in $\mathfrak{B}$. That is, for any infinitely large prime $p$, there is an infinitely large prime $q$ with $q < p$.
I am a bit stuck. The main tool available to us that $\mathfrak{B}$ is an elementary extension of $\mathfrak{R}$, which means that if $\varphi$ is any first-order formula of $\mathcal{L}$, we have $\mathfrak{R} \vDash \varphi(r)$ for every $r \in \mathbb{R}$ iff $\mathfrak{B} \vDash \varphi(r)$ for every $r \in \mathbb{R}$ (and likewise for formulas $\varphi(r_1, \dots, r_n)$ with several free variables). In particular, every sentence of $\mathcal{L}$ (with no free variables) that holds in $\mathfrak{R}$ also holds in $\mathfrak{B}$.
I thought of trying to produce the prime $q$ by using the fact that, in $\mathcal{R}$, for every integer $n$ there is a prime between $n$ and $n!$. But I don't know how to express the factorial function in a first-order way. (I thought of using some larger function, like $n^n$, but that doesn't seem any better.)
A crazy idea I had is to use some weak version of the Goldbach conjecture. For instance, Vinogradov's theorem proves that, in $\mathfrak{R}$, every sufficiently large odd number is the sum of three primes, and apparently Borozdin showed that $3^{3^{15}}$ is large enough. In particular, every prime larger than $3^{3^{15}}$ is the sum of three primes. This is easily expressed as a first-order sentence of $\mathcal{L}$ so it must also be true in $\mathfrak{B}$. Thus every infinitely large prime $p$ in $\mathfrak{B}$ is a sum of three primes, all of which are less than $p$, and at least one of those three must be infinitely large. But this can't possibly be the "right" solution!
Any hints would be welcome.

Obamacare Roundup: What Was John Roberts' Thinking?
We mandate you to read this using our, uh, taxing power
Here are some of the best insights on the Supreme Court's 5-4 determination that Obamacare, whether or not it is a bad law, is at least constitutional:
Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal:
"Ironically, the Supreme Court has decided to be far more honest about Obamacare than Obama was. They rightly have called it a tax. Today's decision is a blow to our freedoms. The Court should have protected our constitutional freedoms, but remember it was the President that forced this law on us.
"The American people did not want or approve of Obamacare then, and they do not now. Americans oppose it because it will decrease the quality of health care in America, raise taxes, cut Medicare, and break the bank. All of this is still true. Republicans must drive hard toward repeal, this is no time to go weak in the knees."
Source: Louisiana Republican Party (1 page).
Charles Krauthammer said he would not have ruled the way that Chief Justice John Roberts did, but he respects his reasoning. Roberts, according to Krauthammer, is trying to maintain the legitimacy of the court, which the media would have assaulted if the ruling went the other way. Instead, Roberts found an incredibly narrow way to uphold the constitutionality of Obamacare—one that, incidentally, makes Obama one of the biggest tax-increasing presidents of all time.
Krauthammer writes:
"ObamaCare is now essentially upheld. There's only one way it can be overturned. The same way it was passed — elect a new president and a new Congress. That's undoubtedly what Roberts is saying: Your job, not mine. I won't make it easy for you."
Checkit out here (2 pages).
According to an anonymous commentator on a conservative blog (the most credible of sources! But an interesting commentary nevertheless), John Roberts' move was genius:
"Ultimately, Roberts supported states rights by limiting the federal government's coercive abilities. He ruled that the government can not force the people to purchase products or services under the commerce clause and he forced liberals to have to come clean and admit that Obama-care is funded by tax increases.
"Although he didn't guarantee Romney a win, he certainly did more than his part and should be applauded."
Read more here at WhiteHouse12.com (1 page).
My buddy Sonny Bunch at the curiously named SonnyBunch.com argues that if we have the right to healthcare and can thus be forced to purchase insurance, the government should impose a gun mandate on all of us to fulfill the actual constitutional right to bear arms:
"[But] there will be some who still don't want to own a gun. And that's fine! The government won't require you to purchase a gun. But if you choose not to purchase a gun—thus leaving yourself more likely to be a victim of crime and necessitating higher police costs, putting a drain on public resources and shirking your responsibility—you will have to pay a penalty or a tax. The IRS will collect it; it'll just be a line on your 1040. Between $500 and $5,000 a year, depending on how much you make and where you live, should get the job done.
"The purchase of guns by the poor, of course, we will have to subsidize—anyone making 133% above the poverty rate who has never been convicted of a violent crime will be eligible for one free gun purchased by the government. For those between 133% and 300% of the poverty rate, we'll have some sort of sliding subsidy. And to ensure that the middle class has easy access to cheap guns, we will create gun exchanges, where those with multiple firearms can meet up with those who have none and exchange cash for a used, cheaper gun."
Read it at the Bunch Blog (1 page).
Ilya Shapiro of the Cato Institute pretty much nails the reason why we'd be better off without the individual mandate, citing Anthony Kennedy:
"As Justice Anthony Kennedy said in summarizing his four-justice dissent, "'Structure means liberty.' If Congress can avoid the Constitution's structural limits simply by "taxing" anything it doesn't like, its power is no more limited than it would be had it done so under the Commerce Clause."
Shapiro continues:
"we have reaped the fruits of two poisonous trees of constitutional jurisprudence: On the one (liberal activist) hand, there are no judicially administrable limits on federal power. On the other (conservative pacifist) one, we must defer to Congress and presume (or construe) its legislation to be constitutional. It is that tired old framework — with four justices in the former category and one in the latter — that produced the Frankenstein's Monster of today's ruling.
"What judges should be doing instead is applying the Constitution, no matter whether that leads to upholding or striking down legislation. And a correct application of the Constitution inevitably rests on the Madisonian principles of ordered liberty and limited government that the document embodies."
And here's a comical but true illustration of what the "individual mandate as tax" really means.
There's plenty of disagreement about the ruling but there's a strong consensus that the matter should—and will—ultimately be decided by the people this fall. Let's get to the work of trying to keep the Republic a Republic. The high court's decision might even reinvigorate the cause of liberty just in time for the 2012 election, as the Campfire Blog's own T.J. Haley noted yesterday: "Every great coach knows that sometimes you have to lose in order to win" (1 paragraph).

Famitsu has revealed the top ten 2013 best-selling video games list in Japan. According to a report form Just Push Start on Jan. 19, the combined sales of "Pokemon X" and "Pokemon Y" barely edged out "Monster Hunter 4."
The sixth-generation of the "Pokemon" series has the benefit of being released in two variations. "Pokemon X" and "Pokemon Y" include different sets of exclusive pocket monsters, encouraging players to trade with one another.
The other notable video game on the list is "GTA 5," which ended up being the best-selling console game. Furthermore, it is the only title on the list to not be released on Nintendo platforms. You can check out a few screenshots from the latest "Grand Theft Auto" installment in the slideshow to the left of this article and the full list below (courtesy of Just Push Start):
- Pokemon X / Y – 3,976,829
- Monster Hunter 4 – 3,923,312
- Animal Crossing: New Leaf – 1,730,182
- Friend Collection: New Life – 1,580,067
- Dragon Quest VII Remake – 1,227,377
- Puzzles and Dragons Z – 1,005,697

- Grand Theft Auto V – 605,882
- New Super Mario Bros. U – 584,479 (including bundles)
- Wii Party U – 518,776 (including bundles)
Although "Pokemon X" and "Pokemon Y" sold better in Japan, "GTA 5" appears to be more popular worldwide. The open-world action-adventure video was declared the fastest-selling entertainment product in history when it was released on Sept. 17th in 2013. The Japanese release for "GTA 5" did not come out until nearly a month later on Oct. 10th.
"Pokemon X" and "Pokemon Y" were released on Oct. 12th exclusively for the Nintendo 3DS handheld platform in Japan, North America and other regions.

Contemporary Christian recording artist, Shenica Renee Graham was Born October 14, 1977 in Long Beach, CA. She battles P.T.S.D. resulting from childhood sexual abuse and domestic violence. As early as 1985, Shenica began writing poetry and various manuscripts to release her pain in a non-violent manner. Her first national award was won for a poem she wrote about her parents in a fourth-grade competition. In the eighties, she competed in the America's Kids and Teens pageant and was voted, "Most Potential." This was the spark of her would-be music career. Preparing for the talent competition, Shenica chose a song that was "too mature" – according to her mother. Not allowed to sing in the competition, she performed an oration. The pageant director commented, "You should sing. I can hear it in your voice."
By her teenage years, Shenica had moved to Kansas with her mother and infant brother. Deep in depression, she suffered from panic attacks and anorexia throughout high school. Upon graduation in 1995, she could receive few accolades since chronic absence left her struggling academically. However, her peers and teachers had seen her true self beyond the obvious dysfunction. In a final award ceremony for the graduating class, Shenica was honored with the "Harriet Tubman Award." She was called, the "Black Moses of Her Generation."
Over a decade later, Shenica shared her testimony of how God had revealed once again that she was called according to His purpose (view the video at http://www.youtube.com/grahamglobal).
Shenica is reviving her music endavors and taking the digital music industry by storm. After less than one week on the the Wichita Pop Music chart at ReverbNation.com, Shenica is gaining ground and currently ranks number two! Building on this momentum, she is now composing a tour lineup and looking for venues across the US. Whether you want to host a concert performance, or a speaker event, she is an excellent presenter with a powerful testimony and an awesome voice!

A new custody suite has opened at Chelmsford Police Station
following a complete refurbishment.
Browser does not support script.
Browser does not support script.
Browser does not support script.
The £2 million refurbishment is the third in a long-term program
of re-development across the force's custody suites and opened for
use at 6am on Monday, November 12, 2012.
Chief Insp Joe Wrigley, Custody Commander, said: "We have a
duty of care towards those who come into our custody and are
governed by legislation and codes of practice around this
"Many of those who come into custody do so as a result of some
kind of crisis and we need to make sure we are equipped to look
after them while making sure they are answerable to the criminal
justice process. We also have a duty of care to our staff and have
made every effort to create a safe and appropriate environment for
them to work in."
The suite has been designed in line with duty of care codes of
practice to minimise opportunities for self harm and the disposal
of evidence. It also includes increased CCTV coverage, an
observation cell, a disabled toilet and shower area, meal
preparation room and exercise yard.
Around 40,000 detainees are held in Essex Police custody every
Chief Insp Joe Wrigley added: "Chelmsford is a city with one of
the busiest night time economies across the county. Its custody
suite is one of the most central and accessible in Essex so we
needed to increase provision to meet demand.
"The opening of the new suite means police officers can patrol
the town in a more efficient way, returning to the streets more
quickly after taking a detainee to a local suite rather than having
to travel to another.
"I am really pleased with the look of the facility and delighted
we will have it back in the centre of Chelmsford."

Phil. 1100, Intro. to Ethics
1. Kant says that only a good will is good "without limitation", and "good in itself". (4:393-4 ) Explain what he means.
2. Many seeming virtues, such as courage, resolution, self-control, Kant thinks are not good in themselves. Not even pleasure is good in itself. Why? Summarize his argument against the intrinsic value of these things.
3. Explain what Kant means by a "will", a "good will", and a "holy will". Why don't moral imperatives apply to a holy will? (4:397, 4:412-14)
4. Summarize and critically discuss Kant's argument that the value of "practical reason" could not merely be that it produces happiness. (4:395-97)
5. What is a "maxim"? (4:400n, 4:421n) Give some examples of maxims. In what way do "maxims" play a role in Kant's account of right action?
6. Kant says that a person motivated solely by her sympathy to help someone in need would not have done something of true moral worth. (4:398-99) Why? Do you agree with him that only actions motivated by duty are morally valuable? Why or why not?
7. What is an imperative? (4:413) A hypothetical imperative? (4:414) How does a hypothetical imperative differ from a categorical one?
8. Kant says that moral "oughts"--such as in "I ought to help others" and "I ought not to lie"-- are categorical imperatives, not hypothetical imperatives. Explain his claim. Why does he claim this? (4:416-17)
9. Summarize and explain the first formulation of the categorical imperative commanding us to act only on maxims that we could at the same time will as universal laws of nature. (4:420-424)
10. Summarize and explain the second formulation of the categorical imperative commanding us to treat people (ourselves included) as "ends in themselves" and never merely as means. (4:427-31).
11. Summarize Kant's arguments that false promises (i.e., promises I have no intention of keeping) are morally wrong, based on the first and second formulations of the categorical imperative. (4:422, 430)
12. Kant uses suicide as an illustration of a morally forbidden act (4:422, 430). Summarize his arguments, according to both the first and second formulations of the categorical imperative, that committing suicide out of a desire to minimize the pain of one's life is morally forbidden.
13. Summarize Kant's arguments, according to both the first and second formulations of the categorical imperative, that never developing one's talents is morally forbidden. Explain how this obligation is different from the obligation not to commit suicide or lie.
14. Summarize Kant's arguments, according to both the first and second formulations of the categorical imperative, that refusing to give to others in need is morally forbidden.
15. Using your results in question 11-14, explain the differences between Kant and Mill on the question, What makes actions right or wrong?
16. What is autonomy of the will? Why is it so important to morality according to Kant? (4:440-445)
17. At 4:446 Kant distinguishes between freedom of the will in a "negative" and in a "positive" sense. Explain the distinction.
18. Kant argues that the concept of a will free in a negative sense contains the idea of a will free in a positive sense. (4:446) Explain.
19. Kant says that we can only act under the Idea of freedom in a negative sense, and so we are, for all practical purposes, free in a positive sense. (4:448) Explain. Is this enough freedom to show that we are bound by moral imperatives?

Store wars: Analyst says Simon, Tanger outlets can't both be successful
Two retail outlets will go in. Only one will emerge. At least that's the prediction a Charlotte-based retail analyst has about two outlet centers expected to be built along Interstate 485.

Vampires beware! In exclusive interviews with MTV News, Corey Haim and Corey Feldman revealed that their old '80s vampire gang is back and on a mission with a long-awaited sequel tentatively titled "The Lost Boys II: The Tribe."
"There are so many questions. So many e-mails all the time," Haim insisted. "Everybody keeps asking, 'Will you please do the bloody sequel?' I think it [finally] happened for a reason. If it were any longer, I'd be gray with no teeth."
But it's a sequel that Feldman, who has already started shooting in Vancouver, British Columbia, may have to film without Haim. MTV News has learned that the actor — who stars with Feldman on the reality-TV show "The Two Coreys" — might not be able to accept a role in the film because of Canadian-border issues.
That wouldn't sit right with Feldman, the 36-year-old actor bellowed.
"I know what the fans want to see," he intimated. "Not just out of loyalty to Corey as my friend, but I know as a fan of film that you look for [him] in a sequel. If it strays too far, then you don't consider it a real sequel, and you feel that you've been cheated."
A horror classic, the original "Lost Boys" follows a mother and her two sons as they move to a California coastal town that harbors a dark secret. When the older brother (Jason Patric) is seduced by a gang of vampires (led by Kiefer Sutherland), it's up to young Sam (Haim) and the resourceful Frog brothers (Feldman and Jamison Newlander) to ultimately save the day.
But if the plot setup is out there, it's nothing compared to the long, strange trip the sequel has taken over the last 20 years, going through several different iterations with several different writers.
"One of the original ideas for the sequel was that it was basically going to be this crusade — with the Frog brothers and Sam running around kind of like Ghostbusters, taking out vampires on a very large scale," Feldman revealed. "One version of it was we were in Washington, D.C., staking out the political vampires."
As time wore on, however, the roles for Haim and Feldman became smaller and smaller, until very recently, when all they had between them was a Feldman cameo. All that's changed thanks to the pair's resurgence on reality TV, they declared.
"Warner Bros. has further developed the script — they brought on a great writer [Hans Rodionoff, who] came up with a great story line," Feldman said, a Cheshire grin stretching across his face. "And in that script they have included [me], Corey Haim and Jamison Newlander as featured parts in the film. [In] the script, as it is today, I am one of the leads. My involvement is very close to what my involvement was in the first one. So I'm pretty much scattered throughout."
For Feldman, it's not only a chance to revisit one of his most beloved characters but also to reflect upon what made the original so good. The sequel, he says, has absorbed those lessons.
"Once again, you have a fish-out-of-water story of two young folks who move into a new town to visit their relatives and find themselves caught up with a bunch of bloodsuckers," Feldman discussed of the flick's setup. "I really like the script because of the fact that it is very close and very true to the structure of the original film — same kind of scares, same kind of laughs, same kind of relationships."
But of all the things that are similar, Feldman declared, the most important one is his character — who hasn't changed one bit since we last saw him.
"The development of my character is pretty much nil. Where you left Edgar Frog is where you find Edgar Frog," Feldman asserted with a boastful air. "The way I see it, this guy doesn't evolve. He has one purpose in life, and that purpose is to destroy all bloodsuckers. Period. He lives it [and] breathes it."
Which is not to say, Feldman clarified, that Edgar will still be working with Sam and Alan in the new flick. "He hasn't changed, but his circumstances have," Feldman teased.
"[Edgar] was always an outcast, but [here] his close-knit family have drifted apart. They've had a major problem, and because of that problem, Edgar today is working alone," he continued. "[The film is] about him trying to still carry the torch as it were, without the aid and assistance of his partners. That leaves him in an even lonelier and even more delicate place than he was in the first film being the outsider that he already was."
Helping to make him even lonelier, no doubt, is the fact that many of the original castmembers won't be returning (Newlander notwithstanding). Feldman confessed that Jason Patric, Jami Gertz and Kiefer Sutherland won't be back for the sequel. New castmembers include Autumn Reeser and Keifer's brother, Angus Sutherland.
Other than the reality show and "Lost Boys" sequel, Haim has recently teamed up with Mandalay Alliance, which develops entertainment with a focus on the urban lifestyle.

Accepted (#1)
2008-03-27 14:15 in /tech/conferences/oscon
I took the shotgun approach to this year's OSCON call-for-proposals and submitted 3 talks. My biggest fear was actually that all three might get accepted. But, it worked out as I hoped and they picked just one. I'll be talking about "Beautiful Concurrency with Erlang". The talk will be an improved and expanded version of my presentation to PDXfunc last month, demonstrating how easy it is to convert sequential programs in Erlang into concurrent / distributed programs taking advantage of your multi-core machine, or a cluster of machine.
I'm slightly nervous, because I'll freely admit that I was likely selected to give this talk more because I'm good at writing proposals, than because I'm the most qualified person out there to discuss Erlang. That said, I'll make an effort to draw on the expertise of others to help make the talk as good as possible and as effective as possible at drawing new people into the community.
As a minor aside, I'm currently scheduled for Wednesday morning, which is ideal as far as I'm concerned. I get to give my talk, then relax and enjoy the remaining 2 days of the conference.
Very cool. Looks like you're opposite "Perl 5.10 for People Who Are Not (Totally) Insane," but if my company deems it worthy to send me again this year, I'll attend your talk.

Staff were extremely rude, the page says wifi and laundry services (which weren't there) however the wifi was "down" our entire 5 day stay, and when we asked when it would be working, we were told "I'm busy, just wait" while he then walked across the road to talk to a couple of girls.

Fox announced yesterday, Jan. 29 that their hit show, "Bones" will be renewed for a tenth season. Many fans feared that after the baby and then the marriage between Brennan and Booth that there wouldn't be much else left to so.
But, here is what Fox had to say to that,
"Over the course of nine seasons, Bones has grown from a hit crime procedural into a beloved pillar of our lineup that resonates with fans in a way that only the best of shows can," Fox president Kevin Reilly said in a statement. "Our viewers have embraced Emily, David and the entire cast and characters of Bones as their very own, and I think they are going to love what Hart Hanson and Stephen Nathan have planned for Season 10!"
So, what will be in store for the couple next season? Will it focus more on the relationships among the characters or will it focus more on the crimes? We will jsut have to wait and see.
But, Fox didn't stop there with the big news. "Bones" will be moving back to its Monday timeslot at 8:00 pm EST beginning March 10.
Are you excited about the new season? What do you think about the current season?
If you would like more information on me or my writings please visit me at Midnight Musings with Bertena.

- We have a small lab space that seats 10 people and has 20 machines.
- Each machine is set to 1920x1200 resolution because the user apps are best used at that resolution.
- Currently the machines are all located close enough to montors that a DisplayPort cable will reach, but the pending lab remodel positions them around 80 feet or more away in racks.
- Our proposed solution is to use PCoIP.
- We purchased 10 PCoIP portals and 20 PCoIP host cards.
- We plan to set up a dedicated network to handle just the PCoIP traffic.
After testing just one portal and one host card with a cheap 1G switch from a local office supply store, we were left with less than good impressions about the usefulness in our lab. The framerates were not spectacular and the mouse seemed jerky. Our concern is that we can't get away with the cheap 1G stuff from the store because adding more machines to the switch will just make the user experience worse.
What switch would be recommended to best support our PCoIP situation? We will need to plug in at least 30 cables based on just those machines. Is there a particular feature to search for that makes a difference? Is there a switch that works best with PCoIP?
Added Info: The reporting webapp for the host card shows maximum bandwidth usage to be 220000 kbps. The average appears to be around 180000 kbps. The reverse direction is much lower, like 15000 kbps.

Lots of states come in at this hour.
New Hampshire Gov. John Lynch, a Democrat, is a sure winner.
The Missouri governor's race will also be called quickly. Democrat Jay Nixon should take this without problem, replacing Republican Matt Blunt. If the race isn't called early, watch for returns in St. Charles and Jefferson counties in suburban St. Louis. Nixon taking more than about 47 percent of the vote in either jurisdiction will equal a win statewide.
Democrats need 11 seats to take the House, which is a tall climb. But we expect them to gain ground.
Democrats should also take the Delaware House and build on their slim majority next door in the Pennsylvania House. Democrat Jack Markell is likely to be the next governor of Delaware.
The Maine Senate is in play but it would be an upset for Republicans to take control. However, this is the hour when they will start counting votes in Oklahoma and Tennessee, which should be bright spots for the GOP. Both states' Senates are tied and should go Republican.
Florida is the big presidential prize this hour. Networks will take their time calling it -- but it won't take 36 days.
Florida is also voting on a constitutional amendment to ban gay marriage. It needs 60% of the vote to pass, so its chances are uncertain.
This is a big hour for ballot measures. Michigan is voting on stem cell research and medical marijuana. Massachusetts also has a marijuana-related vote and is considering a repeal of the state income tax. Maryland is voting on whether to allow slot-machine gambling.

Last in the Nonstop Runway line up is Faride Ramos. While Ramos is a lesser known Colombian designer, she is someone you should get to know. Unlike many of the bigger names like Studio F, Faride Ramos' designs manage to stay fresh and innovative.
Fresh floral spring
This year's line at Colombia Moda showed a number of original yet beautiful and wearable designs. Her pieces are feminine yet striking with a wonderful sense of color and flow. Her floral pattern pieces are light and airy and evoke a feeling of spring while retaining a classic look. Despite the ruffles and flowing layers, the lack of added embellishments or external decorations give the designs a clean, simple look. The square neckline of the floral sundress gives a sharp edge to an otherwise soft delicate look. The peek-a-boo sides make you take a second look without revealing it all.
Mysterious Allure
She knows how to create a sense of mystery and allure. Her sheers cover more than they reveal and just hint at a peek of skin. The use of volumous amounts of fabric to create soft folds and drape speaks to luxury and grace, elegance. Her clothes appeal to women of all ages; more skin for the younger more daring set, yet with the softness (and a slip) suitable for society matrons as well.
There is a richness to the collection as well. The chocolate brown pants for example, have such a deep sheen that makes you want to reach out and touch them. The crisp cotton pieces are in deep contrast to the other pieces. Instead of radiating softness, the very sharp, crispness of the pieces stands out.
Right now, Faride Ramos maintains one small shop in Bogota, Colombia on Carrera 13 but I predict that she won't remain small scale for long. Expect to hear more about this designer in the future.

When completed in August 2006, Kinnick Stadium will be better equipped to meet, if not exceed, the needs of a wide and diverse group of friends and fans of the state of Iowa, the University of Iowa, the Iowa Hawkeyes, and intercollegiate athletics on college football Saturdays in Iowa City.
Improvements will range from upscale seating options and amenities available in a state of the art press box to three times the number of restrooms and more than two times the number of concessions stands available to the 70,000 fans who fill the venue six times each fall to celebrate the Hawkeye spirit and cheer the young men in black and gold to victory.
Funding for the $86.8 million project will be generated from a variety of sources, most notably a capital campaign and the leasing of private suites, and indoor and outdoor club seating options inside the stadium�s new press box.
The excitement surrounding the football program at the University of Iowa is arguably at an all-time high. Back-to-back appearances in New Year�s Day bowl games � highlighted by the Hawkeyes� stunning 37-17 victory over Florida in the 2004 Outback Bowl � have signaled that Iowa�s determined march to return to a position of national prominence that matches that experienced in the early 1900s under head coaches Alden Knipe and John Chalmers, the early 1940s under the direction of Eddie Anderson, the 1950s under Forest Evashevski, and the 1980s and 1990s under Hayden Fry is well underway if not accomplished thanks to the leadership of current head coach Kirk Ferentz.
This final approval on the renovation of the home of the Hawkeyes is another indication of the heightened level of excitement that currently exists for the football program at the University of Iowa. It is also a clear and powerful statement of the University�s commitment to intercollegiate athletics at the University of Iowa because truly all student-athletes who participate in all of the varsity sport programs offered at the UI for the next 30, 40 or 50 years or more will be directly impacted by the renovation project.
Friends and fans of the University of Iowa and the Iowa football program are invited to learn more about the renovation of Kinnick Stadium, the celebration of Kinnick Stadium�s 75th anniversary and their options to become directly involved.

Sixth-Ranked Bears Defeat Ducks, 77-55
Courtesy: GoDucks.com
Release Date: 02/22/2013
Oregon struggled from the field making 15-of-59 for 25.4 percent. The Ducks made just 6-of-26 of their 3-pointers for 23.1 percent. The Golden Bears made 40.3 percent of their field goals (29-of-72), including 42.1 percent from behind the 3-point arc (8-of-19).
Devyn Galland was the only Oregon player to reach double-figures in scoring. She netted 10 points, most of which came from the free throw line where she went 7-of-8. Jordan Loera added nine points and a team-best eight rebounds, five of which came on the offensive end. Ariel Thomas contributed nine points, seven rebounds and a team-high four assists. Danielle Love and Liz Brenner each had eight points.
Cal had a 51-37 rebounding advantage in the game, a number that included 16 offensive boards. The Bears also had a 32-8 edge for points in the paint.
Oregon committed just 11 turnovers, the fewest for the Ducks since having 11 turnovers in their Jan. 15 game against Oregon State.
The Golden Bears were led offensively by Layshia Clarendon who had a team-high 14 points. She was joined in double-figures by Afure Jemerigbe (13 points), Talia Caldwell (10 points) and Gennifer Brandon (10 points). Caldwell also grabbed a game-high 10 rebounds for a double-double.
California jumped out to a 10-0 lead over the first five minutes as Oregon opened up the game by missing its first eight shots.
Alleyne snapped the scoreless drought after making one of two free throws at the 15-minute mark to put the score at 10-1. Thomas made Oregon's first field goal with 13:30 on the clock, a pull-up 15-foot jumper from the left side.
The Ducks eventually found a rhythm offensively after the tough start. Galland banked in a 3-pointer from the left side and Brenner scored on a post move to cut the lead to four points, 14-10, with 9:20 in the first stanza.
A corner 3-pointer by Love tied the game at 18 points apiece with 4:50 on the clock. A free throw from Galland with 3:29 remaining in the half gave UO its only lead of the game, 19-18. Oregon out-scored Cal, 19-10 over an 11-minute span to take that lead.
Cal closed the rest of the stanza by out-scoring Oregon, 11-2, to take a 30-21 lead into the halftime locker room. Thomas led the Ducks with seven first-half points. UO shot 22.6 percent on field goals (7-of-31), while Cal made 29.3 percent of its field goals (12-of-41).
The two teams traded baskets to begin the second half. Cal took a 37-23 with 17:50 on the clock after a 3-pointer by Jemerigbe. Alleyne then scored four straight points to make it a 10-point game, 37-27. Oregon narrowed the lead to single-digits after Loera hit a 3-pointer from the corner to put the score at 37-30 with 16:54 remaining.
Cal then posted a 12-2 run over the next four minutes to take a commanding lead. Jemerigbe scored on a jumper in the lane to give the Golden Bears a 17-point advantage, 49-32, with 13:06 on the clock.
Amanda Delgado hit a 3-pointer at the 11:02 mark to cut the lead to 13 points, 52-39. Delgado then assisted on Oregon's next field goal, a lay-up by Loera that put the score at 57-41 with nine and a half minutes in the game.
Love hit another 3-pointer to put the score at 61-46 with 7:42 remaining in the game. But the Ducks would not get any closer. The Bears largest lead of the game was 24 points, a 77-53 advantage with just under a minute left in the game.
Oregon (4-23, 2-13 Pac-12) returns to action on Sunday with a road game against No. 4 Stanford. That game will tip-off at 4 p.m. (PT) and air nationally on the Pac-12 Network.

TC TO ARCHIBALD PRENTICE ; 9 May 1842; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18420509-TC-APR-01; CL 14: 182
5. Cheyne Row, Chelsea, London 9 May, 1842—
My dear Sir,
Inclosed is one of Chamber's Circulars on the case of Burn's poor destitute Sister. The thing speaks for itself; and indeed spoke, as I could see, to you with proper effect. If according to your prompt generous purpose you can get some arrangement set on foot in Manchester, a sum doubtless might be collected there. Another charitable hand (Mr Welsh of Maryland Street, my Wife's Uncle) is to start the matter in Liverpool: I in this circle of mine will do what is in my power. Hands to the work!— As Chambers alone knows the details of this business, and your knowledge, when once you have read the Circular, and heard that I gave Chambers instant "leave to use my name," will be precisely equal to my own knowledge, he I suppose is the person to be corresponded with about it. Perhaps you are already acquainted with the man? I will apprise him today that you have consented to act;—that he had better send you a dozen other Circulars, for one thing: I myself have got but three in all; and a second of them is travelling, side by side with this, on the way to Liverpool.
I regretted that I saw so little of you in Manchester; but hope another time when I am there or when you are here, we shall be luckier.
With many good-wishes and regards,
Yours most truly, /
T. Carlyle
