Today marks 60 years of the groundbreaking case of the 1954 ruling of Brown v. Board of Education. Though the ruling overturned the famous Supreme Court case of Plessy v. Ferguson, and other court cases that advanced the landmark decision, schools today are more segregated than ever.
PBS.org gives the following analysis of Brown vs. Board of Education –
Brown v. Board of Education (1954), now acknowledged as one of the greatest Supreme Court decisions of the 20th century, unanimously held that the racial segregation of children in public schools violated the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. Although the decision did not succeed in fully desegregating public education in the United States, it put the Constitution on the side of racial equality and galvanized the nascent civil rights movement into a full revolution.
Should the breakthrough case be celebrated? Yes, accolades should go to Thurgood Marshall and the other lawyers who fought for a better education for black children. Praise can be given to Chief Justice Earl Warren and his cohorts in making a 9-0 decision.
But let's be frank about the matter. Black children have always had to suffer under the consequences of getting a decent education. There have always been challenges faced – government laws and legislation, schools closing, teacher's attitudes, not enough resources, administration confusion, kids being bused, and walking miles to schools – all problems that try to hinder blacks from receiving a good education.
Why is this? Why do these children have to suffer? Why do children have to live in a country that holds them back due to the color of their skin? What are whites afraid of – competition? Someone having a crush or liking someone in school regardless of color? Having different friends from different backgrounds?
Why can't schools with the majority of blacks get the same resources? Why should black children be forced to do things made by adult decisions they don't understand? IF used properly for educational and not societal purposes, separate can be equal if schools with the majority of blacks had the same resources white schools have.
Blacks do not, though it may be encouraged, have to sit around white kids to get a good education. There has always been a comparison between blacks and whites in this country when it comes to intelligence. The racist principle in America continues in the mission of white supremacy that filters down unfortunately to black adults and children. If black people were treated as equals, this would not be a matter of discussion.
Many schools now with the majority of black children are now pipelines to prison. Many get suspended. They now get tickets as if they did a traffic violation. They go to school, coming inside under metal detectors. What kind of atmosphere is that for children to learn?
Black parents need to get more involved in the process. Strength comes in numbers. Agitate, demand for your children on a constant and consistent basis. Know your child's curriculum, the school administration in your city, town and rural area; how it's run, and the fiscal amount in your school district. Go to meetings, do what you must do to get answers for your child. If you can't go, get a representative. Excuses here cannot apply.
Blacks as a whole need to stop comparing themselves with whites. There needs to be a concentrated effort to help each other and learn from each other. We are the only ones who can resolve our problems. Statistics, test scores, percentages and other numeric figures show negative content against blacks that have become an irritant and eyesore –perhaps purposely done to lower your self esteem. This psychological hangover needs to stop.
Many blacks have received a suitable education and gone forth to pursue their goals. Unfortunately just as many have not. Due to laws, legislation, incompetent people and funding, education is still a challenge for many black children. It is not their fault. The blame lies with the adults who control their lives. Every child can learn with the proper and correct school environment.
Sixty long years. This is not to say some improvements have been made. But if you have to look for examples and bring them to the forefront, that should tell you more needs to be done. If this whole educational mess was done properly, fairly and equally, it would be part of the norm.
Below are four stories of interest regarding the landmark decision.

In an article about Food Trends for Recessionary Times with the heading:
Consumers are turning to comfort food but lighter beverages.
I wouldn't expect to see any mention of cactus pads. No, I wouldn't. But I would be wrong.
1. Persimmon
2. Starfruit
3. Lavender
4. Cactus
5. Chimichurri
6. Peri-Peri
7. Masala
I had no idea that cactus was going to be as popular as peri-peri in the coming year. Truly an oddity to behold.

What? That is hard to believe for sure. This is the most unbelievable list I've seen in a while.
They probably made the whole thing up.

Wishful thinking, maybe. Maybe it's the cactus industry's own list, and they thought they could sneak it in without anyone noticing. But nobody told me about it.

Recently a client came to me and said they didn't like how the logon page looked for Claims Based Authentication. And frankly – who could blame them? This isn't the most attractive UI I've ever seen.
They wanted a solution that met the following requirements:
- Display a list of links for each authentication mechanism
- A page that could be customized for new web applications
- Didn't require contacting me for new pages
For the solution, I settled on a basic ASPX page that could be copied and pasted as needed, ensuring it always used the same base codebehind file. (All the code listed below is in this codebehind file.) The ASPX page could then be easily customized as needed, with the only "tricky" part being the addition of new links for the authentication mechanisms. The links take the following format:
<asp:LinkButton Text="Logon Using Windows Authentication"
runat="server" ID="btnAdfs" OnCommand="logonButton_Command"
CommandArgument="Windows Authentication" />
Whenever a new authentication mechanism is needed, simply add a new link, with the appropriate Text for the user and the CommandArgument set to the DisplayName of the authentication mechanism. To find the display name, you can execute the Get-SPAuthenticationProvider PowerShell command.
Figuring out how to configure the web application to use the new authentication page proved relatively easy. I fired up my Google Machine[1] and found this blog post by Kirk Evans in short order. All that's needed is a new page in Layouts and to update the web application to point at the page.
The hard part for the development was figuring out how to mimic the behavior of the built-in logon page. Unfortunately, the control that's used (LogonSelector), does a lot of its magic internally and doesn't expose those methods publicly. With a little help from ildasm and a lot of help from Joe Capka I was able to put together the logic needed. The event handler for the button looks a little like this:
protected void logonButton_Command(Object sender, CommandEventArgs e)
SPAuthenticationProvider provider =
The two methods GetAuthenticationProvider and RedirectToLoginPage are built into the LogonSelector. The first one I was able to figure out on my own, the next two I needed Joe[2] for.
To find the authentication provider, we loop through all the ones available for the web application and return the right one back. This is where the name in the CommandArgument needs to match the DisplayName for the provider.
private SPAuthenticationProvider
GetAuthenticationProvider(string providerName)
SPIisSettings iisSettings =
foreach (SPAuthenticationProvider currentProvider in
if(currentProvider.DisplayName.ToLower() ==
providerName.ToLower()) {
return currentProvider;
return null;
I know I've got a "ToLower" call in there. I'm OK with that. ;-)
The RedirectToLoginPage needs a little more work, as there may be parameters in the URL that need to be kept. The call to EnsureUrlSkipsFormsAuthModuleRedirection takes care of that part.
private void RedirectToLoginPage(SPAuthenticationProvider provider)
string components = HttpContext.Current.Request.Url.GetComponent
(UriComponents.Query, UriFormat.SafeUnescaped);
string url = provider.AuthenticationRedirectionUrl.ToString();
if (provider is SPWindowsAuthenticationProvider)
components =
EnsureUrlSkipsFormsAuthModuleRedirection(components, true);
SPUtility.Redirect(url, SPRedirectFlags.Default,
this.Context, components);
private string EnsureUrlSkipsFormsAuthModuleRedirection
(string url, bool urlIsQueryStringOnly)
if (!url.Contains("ReturnUrl="))
if (urlIsQueryStringOnly)
url = url + (string.IsNullOrEmpty(url) ? "" : "&");
url = url + ((url.IndexOf('?') == -1) ? "?" : "&");
url = url + "ReturnUrl=";
return url;
The goals have now been met. If you need a new custom logon page, simply copy/paste the ASPX file. Add the links as needed, ensuring that the CommandArgument is set to the DisplayName of the authentication provider. Point the web application a the custom page, and you're done!

The portfolio piece of graffiti artist Leon Rainbow from Trenton, NJ. It depicts his best projects including art work he has created for celebrities and corporations. Murals, Body Painting, Graphic art and Web design.
Good book for an coffee table.
As long as I can remember I've been drawing. My stepfather, who was a draftsman, taught me how to do simple line and block letters. I just took it from there, exaggerating and changing them to create different styles. As long as I can remember I have been inspired by graffiti, street art and hip hop culture. As I mature spiritually and artistically, I strive to apply not only fine arts composition and principles to my art, but also to find the deeper expression. I use basic graffiti style characters and combine them with a powerful spiritual message, giving anyone who looks at my art something beautiful to look at as well as food for thought.I think this approach allows me to reach a wide variety of people.

Zillow reports that home sellers in only eight other U.S. cities have more leverage than Seattle home sellers while Forbes says Sammamish is the friendliest city in the United States. Perhaps Seattle sellers should consider buying in Sammamish. I can help them with that!
Seattle ninth-best U.S. market for home sellers: Report – Puget Sound Business Journal.
My favorite part of the Sammamish article is this quote.. "Wives in the suburban Seattle community have been known to swap recipes while their husbands borrow tools. Children play in the cul-de-sacs and walk to school by themselves if they live close enough," Hey wait a minute, isn't there a TV series based on this? Anyone ever watch Leave it to Beaver? OK, granted Sammamish is a GREAT place to live but is this really what they are basing this on? How about low crime, great schools, affordable housing, proximity to jobs and amenities?
So here is the question.. Why do YOU think Sammamish is America's friendliest city? The best response to this question will receive a $20 Tully's gift card, that's right the NEW about to be owned by "McDreamy" Patrick Dempsy.

Manolo the Columnist: Marli Too from Kate Spade
Manolo say, here is the Manolo latest column for the Express of the Washington Post.
Dear Manolo,
My in-laws are coming for Thanksgiving, and my problem is that my mother-in-law is always making these remarks about how I don't dress up enough. My husband is an only child, so I don't think she really understands what it's like to raise three young boys. However, I'm going to make the effort. Can you suggest something that will make me look super fantastic while I'm basting a turkey?
Manolo says, while the Manolo deplores the in-laws who get all up in one's business with the catty comments, the Manolo also deplores how the most important of our family ceremonies are now merely one more opportunity to loosen the drawstrings on the pants of sweat.
And so, the Manolo must applaud his friend's decision to dress up, even if she is doing so only to please the sharp-tongued person who should be locked out on to the back patio like the misbehaving family dog.
But, we are civilized peoples of good breeding and common sense, and so we cannot force this woman to stand in the snow, her nose pressed against the sliding glass door, watching her family eat turkey. In the stead, we must turn the other cheek, and tolerate the barbs as best we can, because it is better when we show the generous spirit to those we love, even when they are not generous with us. For remember, one day, in the not too distant future, your own daughters-in-law will wish to banish you to the patio.
Here is the Marli Too from Kate Spade New York the remarkably comfortable wedge heeled shoe favored, according to the New York Times, by the lady politicians, and who knows better how to smile politely while being insulted than the lady politicians?

by Zach Zimmerman, '12 The Stanford Daily, Editor in Chief
The Stanford community, from students to faculty, has a symbiotic relationship with athletics. Here, sports play an essential role in sustaining a strong classroom environment. Athletics and academics are not perceived as independent entities, but rather two parts of a cooperative dynamic that fosters a commitment to excellence.
This relationship is best viewed by appreciating the first-hand accounts of those that comprise the Stanford community. Their perspectives and experiences help define that broad impact of sports on campus and emphasize the importance of athletics in creating and maintaining the Home of Champions, both on and off the field.

Regardless of any discussions of brand, there seems to be many that either swear by, or against, hollow points of .380 cal. What do you guys think about alternating the rounds in the mag? Best of both worlds, or a mistake?

Regardless of any discussions of brand, there seems to be many that either swear by, or against, hollow points of .380 cal. What do you guys think about alternating the rounds in the mag? Best of both worlds, or a mistake?
I think that I agree that regardless of how you feel about penetration..expansion..cavatation, or whatever... there is a legal problem. If you do have to use your weapon in a self defense situation, the lawyers going after you are going to have a treat having you explain your REASONS for carrying a mixed bag of loads in your mags. Think about it! You have just protected yourself...or others..and then you have to justify your reasoning behind mixing ammo types. This is the way lawyers think and influence jurys. Figure out your priorities ,and evaluation of the type of ammo you trust..and then stick with it. My carry round is the Hornady FTX critical defense load in my LCP
I don't see how you could resonably keep track of what was next, or know in advance what round you might need. I don't know of any agency or organization that allows it by policy, if you pay attention to those sorts of things. Pick whatever load you think is best and stick with one.
I'm using Winchester PDX-1's in my Sig. I think they are more than adequate for the job.
Hornady critical defense for my LCP also.
been loading with both Hollow and ball in my sig p238 since i've been carrying...
Is not the purpose of using deadly force is to stop the attack on human life? I sure would not use it to save my iPhone. So, is not the choice of ammo or the alternating use thereof of kind or type of ammo also used for the purpose to stop the attack on human life? How about the kind or type of handgun used? Is Brand M more lethal than Brand N? Lawyers can say what they want. Nothing with stop them from doing so. Except our Vote. Don't forget people, We have the Power of Our Vote.
If I think Brand X, Brand Y, then Brand Z should be the sequence of my load, then I am thinking by the time Brand Z is used the attack should be over.
Me? I carry one kind of round in my pistol, but sometimes I may round out a magazine with the same type of round from different manufacturers.
My definitions: kind: round nose, hollow points, etc. type: ie type of round nose: lead, plated, semi plated, etc. type of jacketed, ie silver tipped hollow points, length of serrations etc.
Safe shooting,
Ball ammo only for .380
you carry a gun as insurance ; its the last resort against when all else has failed and you are in fear for your life.
--streatching it a bit in court that with the above in mind, you have planned how this 'event' will occure.
rather it sounds to me that you are planning for how you intend it to happen.
not so good.
find what the local police, state troopers carry for ammo and get the same.
hard for a Prosecutor to fault you for having what 'his' people trust their lives to.
95 grain ball or silvertips warm months if they are reliable in your gun.
If it's important enough to alternate loads then it's important enough to use them in the proper sequence. Is a gunfight going to conveniently go down to accommodate this sequence? If two different loads are better than a single choice then are three different loads even better, or four different loads, or just make sure each separate cartridge loaded in the magazine is different and unique?
If it doesn't matter which one's coming up next then it's not important enough to alternate loads. One can chose the "best" load and stand by his decision.
It looks like a lame attempt to "hedge one's bets" on choice of loads and smacks of indecisiveness.
For the person who chooses to carry different loads in a magazine, lawyers are the last thing he needs to worry about if all the loads are legal to carry/possess. If it's ok to carry all of one brand and type and also ok to carry all of another brand and type then it follows that it's ok to mix it up with the two different loads.
Don't be indecisive and pick 1. Either go with a full mag of hp or a full mag off fmj
Since "self-defense" shootings seldom follow a script, being ready for anything is, I think, a wise method to accept. Knowing that in a "perfect shot" a hollow point will do the most damage, does not mean that any scenarios will necessarily allow that shot. Accepting that a .380 is never as efffective as a "Tackleberry .500", one must accept the limitations of the ammo used, and that the heat of battle usually decreases accuracy, no matter how much you train. When i can carry the big gun and keep it concealed, I do. The rest of the time I need to go small. Legal ramifications to not enter my reasoning, as all shoots should be intended to kill.
There are also other posts about this topic, you can search them if you would like any more advice. Stay safe.

The Badger State is following the lead of Indiana, North Carolina and Kansas, pulling state and federal funding from nine of Wisconsin's 27 Planned Parenthood facilities, the New York Daily News reports.
According to the newspaper, those nine clinics provide affordable care to about 12,000 uninsured women in the state.
But Planned Parenthood isn't going down without a fight. The Kansas City Star reports the group took its case to federal court Monday in an attempt to stop Kansas from cutting $300,000 in funding. Last week a federal judge in Indiana ruled that the Hoosier State could not cut off Medicaid funds to Planned Parenthood because it offered abortions. Planned Parenthood of Indiana had been without Medicaid money since May 10, according to the newspaper.
Indiana will most likely appeal the ruling, but if states won't listen to the courts, maybe they'll listen to Amy Poehler. The Huffington Post reports the funny actress—and proud Planned Parenthood member—recently sent out a fund-raising e-mail, asking for donations.
"Think back to the first time you went to a Planned Parenthood health center, scared or broke or confused or hopeful," she writes. "Think about your friends, or your sister, or your daughter, son, niece, or nephew. Think about every person out there who has nowhere else to go, nobody else to count on, nobody but Planned Parenthood."
Now, wouldn't it be a shame if those people had nobody at all?

I am reading a wonderful book right now entitled How To Be An Adult In Relationships: The Five Keys To Mindful Loving, by David Richo. He explains in his book that we all need the "five A's"...attention, acceptance, appreciation, affection and allowing... to have a successful and healthy adult relationship. But what exactly does "successful and healthy" mean in regard to relationships? It means a lot of different things. To have boundaries--allowing each other the space to grow and be individuals in the midst of real connection, closeness and togetherness; to accept one another fully--whether or not we understand or agree with the other's feelings or choices; being open to giving and to receiving; knowing what we need to feel loved and learning how to ask for it--not expecting our partners to be mind readers...and on the flip side learning what it is that our partner's need to feel loved and giving this to them; loving someone the way they are--letting go of control and trying to change our partners or getting them to be the way we think they should be; allowing our partners (and feeling the freedom ourselves) to express our feelings or to disagree and to fully be ourselves.
Richo connects all of these essential elements in intimate adult relationships to our early childhoods-whether or not our parents were able to allow us to separate and individuate to become the unique people we were meant to be. As one might imagine-this process of separation and individuation does not always go smoothly, or even well. Our parents might have been overprotective and afraid to let us venture out to explore the world around us, sending us the message that the world was too dangerous and that we could not trust ourselves to know what we needed or wanted; or they might have had difficulty seeing us for who we were, needing us to be what they wanted us to be, presenting us with the challenge of becoming and later being our true selves, so that we became dependent upon other's evaluation/approval/reassurance rather than knowing within ourselves our worth, who we were and what was right for us.
The question always comes back to, so how do we get there? How do we do it? How do we create the kind of relationship that allows for individual freedom and continued growth while also fostering true closeness, intimacy and connection? How do we let go of our need to cling and control or to distance and withdraw to get what we think we need from another?
The answer might be surprising-but perhaps it will make a lot of sense.
Richo posits that "in healthy intimate relationships we do not seek more than 25% of our nurturance from a partner; we learn to find the rest within ourselves." So while we all need another to feel mirrored, safe and to help define us...to allow us to come out of hiding and to be found...we cannot rely on this "other" to do all of these things for us. The main source of these experiences needs to come from within ourselves. The reassurance that we are worthy, special and will be "OK" in light of whatever occurs externally resides most fully inside of us. For many of us, this is a new concept! Scary, maybe, but also exciting, as we can have more control over our wellbeing and happiness than we ever thought was possible. As Richo states, rather than relying on ourselves, many of us have been looking for the "perfect partner" to fulfill all of our needs, the oasis that will offer us everything we lack--total happiness and emotional fulfillment. We have not had the opportunity while growing up to develop this strong inner sense of security, and we have learned to search for or to rely upon someone else to give it to us...often ending up frustrated, dissatisfied or even desperately disappointed that another was not fully capable of filling all of our needs for wellbeing and emotional satisfaction.
Now, as adults, we have a renewed opportunity to revisit this space within ourselves, and rather than allowing our fear to create distance from ourselves by looking for another to fix us or to fill us up, we can face our fear--by allowing ourselves to feel it--and we can look within for our own wellbeing and comfort. We do not have to be as reliant on another for how we are going to feel from one moment or one day to the next, but rather look within ourselves for this reassurance. Instead, we can turn toward our partners for support, love and closeness--which can free us up to do the emotional work that we were meant to do to become fully ourselves.

More shocking news today as two were shot dead and 8 or more injured in shootings at Monash University in Melbourne, Australia. It really tends to hit home when things like this happen, I know people at Monash and previously lived only a few minutes away from it. What's up with the world today?
TWO students were shot dead and five others injured when a man opened fire on his class at Monash University, before staff and students overpowered the gunman.More information @ NEWS.com.au

OT301 is generally an alternative cultural center: underground music, alternative, experimental, on the edge. An independent movie and theater venue, and all kinds of activities: courses from self-defense to salsa, but all with the understated punk attitude. OT301 also houses Subbacultcha-events (check out Subbacultcha online)
You may call it avant garde but the focus of OT301 is to provide an alternative to the mainstream commercial culture, be it by being experimental, be it by being politically radical.
A fun thing to do: take part in Tuesday's ping-pong bar. In the bar and the concert hall 3 ping-pong tables wait for potential competitors – well, it's just for fun, no competition, really. In-house restaurant "Pepper" is also worth a visit if you are food-conscious: It's all vegan and organic and not very expensive. And a nice hang-out. It's all quite low-key but in a way a must in the alternative culture in Amsterdam.
The mentioned opening times are for restaurant Pepper – for the venues' openings times check the website.

Why You Are Here: By Ruben Rivas
When was the last time you were truly inspired? Whether it's leaving a career in pursuit of a dream, or maybe the motivation to achieve a goal. Each person is inspired at some time in their life to improve themselves, make a change, or make a difference. My moment came a couple months back through a series of three inspiring events which ultimately resulted in the creation of this site.
My Daughter
Imagine sitting in a hospital room one day after the birth of your first child. Excited, proud, and full of love. A doctor comes into your room to look at your baby without stating why, then casually mentions that your child may have Down syndrome. 10 minutes later someone is in your room bombarding you with information about the condition as they wheel off your baby to take blood tests. 'Overwhelming' is an understatement and a week for lab results is a lifetime.
My daughter has Down syndrome. After initial feelings of fear and sadness, I quickly realized it was a blessing in disguise. She is my treasure, and though I had never imagined raising a child with Down syndrome I would have her no other way. The future will hold challenges for my family, but knowing my dedication to being the best Father I can be will help guide her to be the best person she can be. I repeat, being the best person she can be...it's all I can ask, and all that I want.
The Photo
Stare at this photo and say "You aren't capable...you can't do anything...you're worthless."
It's just a face, and some would never know that little Emily has Down syndrome. I am not an artist, I know nothing about photography, and have never met Emily, but somehow am moved by those bright eyes and adorable smile. Perhaps she reminds me of my own daughter, or maybe it's a symbol representing Down syndrome, of how perfectly beautiful an individual can be whereas others only see the negatives. If you ask me, Emily looks beyond happy, so maybe we should all stop thinking about what limitations she will have, and start realizing her bright future will be full of endless possibilities.
The Quote
"90% of babies with Down syndrome are aborted."- Rep. Richard Corcoran
Wow. One day I was researching articles online and ran across this comment from a House Floor Debate in 2011. I was in such denial that I started looking on other sites to verify the statistic because it just couldn't be true. To my disbelief, it was mostly accurate. I thought of my daughter...what if she wasn't here? It was the most inconceivable idea to think that my baby would be gone if given to 90% of parents in this world.
Then it hit me. People just don't know. If you knew my daughter, you would understand. If you had someone in your life that has Down syndrome, you would get it. People don't want to be judged on their appearance, what they do for a living, or where they came from so why do we continue to see those with special needs and believe they are worth less than anyone else? The answer is simple...they just don't know.
Knowmefirst.com was created through these 3 inspirational events in my life. I hope to educate people about Down syndrome and advise the 90% or so out there to simply think a little more before making such a drastic decision for abortion. I am not here to force a message of Pro-Life, but ask everyone to open their hearts and minds to learning the positive side of Down syndrome. It's time to stop assuming you know, and discover the unknown truths from those who actually do know. I promise you, you will be inspired in more ways than you think, and it starts here. Thank you for visiting this site.

In last week's episode, Ryan takes a closer look at Joe's past for answers, while Joe tries to plan his future at the new cult.
In this week's episode, titled "Unmasked", Joe announces to the world that he is back and has a big coming out party that involves many deaths to celebrate it.
Micah and Joe talk about how they can make a 'splash' in the news like Lily's doing. He calls on Jana for her help again. Micah asks Joe what he should do about Julia. He doesn't think that she will get on board for his plan but she declines to believe in him so Joe kills her.
The first 'messengers' are Emma and Robert and some killer Micah has there named Lance (who is really unhinged). Emma is weary about Micah but Joe thinks he can handle him. They go to Carrie's book signing where they are looking to make their first move.
Emma gives Carrie a flash drive with Micha's message that she needs to share with the world. Carrie doesn't tell Ryan about the message. Right before the police get there, Lance takes off his disguise and acts like he's a victim. He tries to make a splash with the police but ends up getting killed.
Max brings Mike the information that she's found about the FBI leak and Gina is on the list of suspects. Ryan goes to talk to Gina and she is insulted by his questioning. Mike and Ryan follow her to Jana's house.
Gina talks with Jana about Jana's break after she gave birth to their child. They argue about Joe before Jana stabs Gina in their garage. When Ryan and Mike find her they try and question Jana but she kills herself before they get Joe's location.
Ryan/Max/Mike go through Jana's computer and realize that Carrie is the next target and it's going to be at her book signing.
As they are watching the message play, Micah quickly realizes that Joe changed the message right before the poison start to take effect and kills him.
After reeling from the message, Mike receives a mysterious phone call and doesn't tell Max or Ryan about it. He goes to meet with someone before leaving with them. He meets with a 3rd car, puts a bag over his head, before leaving with them. Where he ends up is where no one expected. He goes and meets Claire at a hotel room.
In next week's episode, Joe sends his army loose as they start the war. Meanwhile, Claire wants out of witness protection and wants to kill Joe and Ryan continues his search for Joe.

STANFORD, Calif. - Hey Friends and Fans,
It was a packed week for the Stanford Women's Gymnastics team with many activities and events happening. On Wednesday, we had our headshots as well as our photo shoot, taking team pictures and individual shots at various places around campus. We went to the Quad, Memorial church, fountains and many other beautiful landmarks at Stanford. Tenaya West's mom did an amazing job as our photographer, capturing the team in the best light possible (literally).
On Friday morning, Kristina Vaculik left for the World Championships, taking with her the love and support from each member of SWG. That morning, we also welcomed our official recruits who joined us for breakfast and even attended a class. At practice we had super spirit day where each class dressed up in their own representation of Stanford spirit. The freshman were "So Fresh So Fly" which is a song by DJ Laz. They dressed up as rappers with Stanford spirit. The sophomores were "Not so Soft-mores" where they wore shirts with eight-packs drawn on the front. The juniors were the four cardinal directions, which all pointed to NCAA championships in Cleveland, Ohio, and Weedge (Allyse Ishino) was a Stanford gangster with some serious dance moves. But the best class by far was the senior class (which coincidentally includes Shelley Alexander and myself) and we were the Stanford tree while dancing to the Stanford fight song.
After showing off our costumes we sat down and made sure everyone on our team was on the same page as far as goals and expectations. It was a good reminder of where we wanted to be at the end of the year and what we need to do to get there.
That night we went to the women's volleyball game against Oregon with the recruits and watched as Stanford easily won the first three games. On Saturday, we showed the recruits Stanford campus and played some sand volleyball before heading over to Jimmy V's Sports Café to watch the football game and enjoy an immense amount of food.
On Sunday we started adding more skills, which made for an exciting atmosphere at practice. Shona Morgan showed her amazing releases on bars, and Allie Skoly showed off her humongous full-ins on floor. Ming Ya Zhou also exhibited some great tumbling while Alyssa Brown was solid on beam.
After practice, some of us volunteered at a local junior high school, signing posters and talking with some of the kids at their Jag-a-thon (so called because their mascot is the Jaguar). We also put on a short gymnastics demonstration and invited kids up for a handstand contest.
Thanks for checking in with us. Hope to see you next week.
Dani Ikoma

According to Thursday's publication of Gothamist, the pit bull who survived a harrowing fall over the side of a bridge in Brooklyn, N.Y., is going to be reunited with his rightful owner.
The dog, who was dubbed "Meeker" because of the street that he landed on, plunged over the edge of the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway bridge on Tuesday evening. Miraculously, he survived the estimated 30-foot fall, but he was injured by the impact.
Good Samaritans were able to get the injured dog to Veterinary Emergency & Referral Group (VERG), for treatment.
One day later after the media picked up Meeker's story, the dog's true owner, identified as Oliver Rivera, realized where his lost dog was. According to Rivera, the dog had slipped his collar on Tuesday and ran away. The man filed a lost dog report and spent the remainder of the day searching the area for his pet, whose real name is "Wookie."
Initial reports from witnesses suggested that the dog may have been tossed from a moving car, but a new witness came forward with a less sinister version of who the situation unfolded on Tuesday evening. Gothamist reported that Sarah Hart watched the frantic dog leap over the side of the bridge of his own accord; she stated:
I was actually in a taxi on the BQE Tuesday evening when the taxi driver pointed out a dog running full tilt along the side of the expressway. Without warning he leaped over the concrete partition to the 30-foot-drop. We were shocked—and certain he was dead on impact.
Of course, I don't know if he was running from something, some other abuse, and he certainly seemed crazed, but no human actually tossed a dog off the BQE in this instance.
Wookie will continue to recuperate at VERG and the non-profit group Positive Tails is committed to helping pay the dog's veterinary bills. The veterinary hospital has confirmed that they will ensure that Wookie's home is a safe place to return him to before he is released from their care.

Added a product review for Kali Protectives Aazis Soft Knee Pad 12/23/2011 4:11 PM
awesome pad. keeps your knees cool
The Good: VENTILATION IS GREAT. They don't slide or bunch. Protection is adequate. Slim fit and comfortable.
The Bad: Have to take your shoes off to put em on.
Overall: They've kept my knees safe and cool in 105 degree F weather in humid south texas. They don't slide around or bunch up. When they get stinky I just throw em in the wash and let em air dry. Had em for about 8 months now and they've been put to the ground many a time. Not even a torn stitch. When you measure your legs for sizing make sure you do so in an athletic stance like you're on your bike. I measured my legs while straight and my pads are a little snug. But even though they are tight they are still comfortable and I can barely tell they're there. BUY THEM BEFORE YOU CRACK YOUR KNEECAP LIKE I DID BEFORE I BOUGHT THESE.

"Men are dogs," people say in order to disparage the males of our species. Men are like dogs, presumably, because they tend toward the promiscuous, the easily distracted, and the eternally hunting. Like dogs, men will sniff all tails, hump anything animate and inanimate, eat trash with gusto, and do it all without any visible (and proper) shame. Men would lick their own balls if, like dogs, they were anatomically predisposed to doing so. Men would prefer to be low-down, lazy and dirty, like dogs. Men and dogs, above all, share an insatiable yen for pussy. And thus, men are dogs.
I actually like the men who are most like dogs. Think of it this way. Linguistically, the to-be verb "is" enacts the equal sign and, as we all know from algebra class, flipping an equation does not affect it. If A+B=C, then C=A+B. Therefore, if men are dogs, then dogs are men. (Likewise, if love is war, then war is love; if diamonds are a girl's best friend, then a girl's best friend is a diamond; if life is a bitch, then a bitch is life. And so on. Try it at home, it's fun.) But as anyone who has ever stood on her head knows, what a difference an inversion makes in a Weltanschauung.
The concept "men are dogs" cherry-picks from a dog's least desirable attributes (or those least desirable to human interaction; these traits seem to work just fine for canines). The sniffing, smelling, chasing, humping and indiscretion of dogs become those of men in the conventional metaphor. Flip the order and suddenly men are imbued with a whole new set of qualities. They're trustworthy. They're faithful. They're noble. They'll tell you when Timmy's down the well, save babies from burning buildings, travel thousands of miles of treacherous terrain only to be with you, sleep happily and protectively at your feet, mourn when you leave, and jump with joy when you return—even if you only went downstairs to get the mail.
In my twenties, I considered myself a cat person. I looked askance at the dumb devotion of a dog. I mistrusted the unquestioning commitment of a canine. I derided the mute submission of the mutt. Why would I align myself with any creature that obligingly came when called? Give me the twitchy-tailed and haughty. At least cats were cool. I couldn't imagine wanting a dog, even though I'd grown up with them and loved them.
Nearing thirty, I found myself changing, and I got the Legendary Spencer. He was everything I could ever want in a dog—smart, beautiful, connected, playful, funny, obliging, obedient and unequivocally mine. When he died, I was distraught, and then I adopted Boswell, who is as much like Spencer as he is different (he's smart but neurotic, playful but frenetic, obedient but challenging, beautiful but a total goofball), and I realized that I am a dyed-in-the-wool, never-look-back dog person, and I'm good with that. More importantly, I realized that many of the qualities I love in my dog are the ones I desire in a man: intelligence, connection, commitment, affability, and a love of napping.
I do not, however much I like them both, want to treat men like dogs. I don't believe there's value in the wash of self-help manuals that suggest you can "train" your man using a metaphoric collar and leash, nor do I believe there's much value in the book that argues you can find love if you "pick your breed of man." Google the phrase "men are dogs" and you'll see a plethora of this kind of codswallop written with the intent to make women feel...something. If you want to train something, get a real dog. If you want to establish an equable relationship, find a real man.
I have written before of my Wookie fantasy. I recognize the embodiment of what I like in both men and dogs in Chewbacca. I suppose that doggy-man thing also explains my affection for Fedor Jefticheff (pictured above), Sirius Black from Harry Potter and my love of Oz in Buffy, especially Oz, the werewolf played by Seth Green. I would initially consider myself a Spike girl, but really the man who personifies the man I want is Oz—a whip-smart analytic dude whose offbeat cool masks the primal beast yowling beneath, the man who would literally go to the ends of the earth to find a way to be with me. Oz's guitar playing would only be the icing on the dog biscuit.
Language shapes the way we think, and neither clichés nor metaphors are an exception. In my mind, men should be dogs: great, big, smelly, hairy, loving, wet-tongued dogs. I'm all for bringing out the mutts in men.
(And, yes, I updated this post in response to Pete's comment below. Thanks, Pete.)

The Justin Pogge Rollercoaster Ride Continues
I was sure Justin Pogge was on his way out and that suspicion was confirmed by a Sportsnet report confirming the Justin Pogge era had indeed come to an end here in Toronto. But then, like a phoenix rising from the ashes, it seemed Pogge was saved from the chopping block.
Today, Pension Plan Puppets is giving a very interesting quote from Brian Burke the light it deserves. Here's what Burke said yesterday about Pogge.
[Justin] Pogge's a good kid, but it just didn't work out for him in Toronto. I assured him I would find him somewhere to play this year.
It appears the Justin Pogge era in Toronto has indeed come to an end. The Justin Pogge rollercoaster ride continues...

Pogge should have joined CUPE.July 23, 2009 / 15:00
If you were not all about the Marlies you would not like Pogge.
He really just is not that good, and doesn't do anything exceptionally well.
In my humble opinion....July 23, 2009 / 18:53
How many chances to show. Never done it. Time to move on.
Nice guys finish last.
Pogge your gone.

Carolyn Schlie Femovich
July 15, 2013
CENTER VALLEY, Pa. - The Patriot League Council of Presidents has approved a contract extension for Executive Director Carolyn Schlie Femovich through June 2017, it was announced Monday.
"The Council has been pleased with the League's continued academic and athletic achievements, the addition of Boston University and Loyola University as new members, and the strong leadership that Carolyn has demonstrated during her years as Executive Director," said former Lafayette College President Dr. Daniel H. Weiss, outgoing Chair of the Council of Presidents. "We look forward to the League's continued progress under her direction."
Femovich has been the Patriot League Executive Director since 1999. Throughout her tenure at the Patriot League, Femovich has focused on key areas including the development of a comprehensive multimedia package, expansion of League membership, improvement of League competitiveness and quality of services to the membership.
Under her direction, Patriot League sports of football, basketball and lacrosse have gained increased television exposure through contracts with national outlets, and multiple regular-season and championship events have been added to the League's streaming package. Femovich has increased service to the membership with improvements in championship administration, League governance and a focus on the student-athlete experience, including the initiation of the Patriot League Leadership Academy. During her time with the Patriot League, emphasis has been placed on the competitiveness of its men and women's basketball programs, as well as other key sports that present unique opportunities for the League.
"It has been a privilege to work on behalf of the outstanding student-athletes and with the many accomplished coaches and administrators at Patriot League institutions," Femovich said. "I am honored to continue to represent such a prestigious group, and I appreciate the support and confidence of the League's presidents and athletic administrators."
The Patriot League continually demonstrates that student-athletes can excel at both academics and athletics without sacrificing its high standards. The Patriot League's athletic success is achieved while its member institutions remain committed to its founding principle of admitting and graduating student-athletes that are academically representative of their class. Participation in athletics at Patriot League institutions is viewed as an important component of a well-rounded education.

I am looking for publications dealing with the expected Distance from Origin (not RMS mean) after a Random Walk in a 2 or 3 dimensional space (not latticed). I would appreciate if anyone can point to some references to publications related to (or including) this subject. I am speaking about a Random Walk of N equal steps with random directions in a 2 dimensional space (plane) or in a 3 dimensional (space). No lattice will restrict the possible locations after each step. The request is for references and not for the solution itself! Thanks.

Oct. 10, 2012
Sorry I skipped last week. The Conference USA travel schedule is demanding.
Time to assess where we stand. At 6-6-1 and 2-2-1 in the league I guess you could say we are absolutely average. I feel like we're better than our record, but you are what you are. I do take some satisfaction in the quality of the schedule that we've played, and our ability to compete against the top teams. We've played four teams that have been ranked in the top-15 and all of those have been on the road. While we are 1-3 in those matches, two are overtime losses.
We took a huge stride on Sunday at UCF. They were a top-10 team going into the match and after watching them on film I was impressed. We were going to have to be very solid in defense and pick our times to go forward. The team followed the plan perfectly. The second goal we scored was pretty sweet. Mallory Baum sent a long cross to Shelby Redman who one-touched to Rikki Clarke behind the defense and Rikki finished it calmly. It was a tremendous effort from our group who showed what they are really capable of. I was specifically proud of our defensive effort. Our defending unit has been much maligned. It's a group of players playing new positions without much experience. They have had their share of difficult days. Sunday they were very good. They are starting to get some confidence and come together as a group. If we can build on that effort and confidence we can finish strong.
It's off to East Carolina and Marshall this weekend. ECU has had a very good year. They currently sit in second place in the league. They don't give up goals so our attack will be challenged. Marshall is a tough team as well. They can score, so the challenge may be different on Sunday. I know we'll compete hard and these games will be close. Hopefully some things will go our way and we can come home with a few more points in the league than we have now. With the league standings so close almost everyone is still in play to win the league and almost everyone is still in play to miss out on the conference tournament. The picture will be clearer after this weekend. However, I see this thing going right down to the last match. There is a ton of parity in the league and crazy things happen every weekend.
Keep your fingers crossed for us this weekend.

It's as easy as one, two, three for Josh Clamp.
The 13-year-old Barnsley Academy pupil got a grade C in maths yesterday — despite being entered for the exam three years early.
"I thought I was going to get a D or an E so it was good when I opened it and saw I had a C," he said.
"The teachers put a couple of us forward for it early. I'm going to keep doing maths and I really hope I can get an A* in the end."
Golf fan Josh, of Nottingham Close, Ardsley, celebrated by playing a round with dad Andrew yesterday. Mum Belinda Hydes-Clamp said he had worked hard and the family were very proud.
"He did quite a bit of revision for it, they sent him a lot of past papers to do. We're all chuffed to bits for him. I think he takes after his dad with the maths, it certainly wasn't me."
For photographs and results from Barnsley schools see this week's Chronicle.

This is a book about basic urban design concepts. Increasingly, ordinary citizens are asked to weigh the merits of proposed architectural projects in their downtowns. But as laymen they often lack an understanding of the fundamental principles by which such projects should be evaluated. This book helps bring them up to speed. It may also be useful as an introductory text for architectural students and professionals.
Comment posted.
PA2k says This book sparked my interest not only because of my study of architecture in the Pasadena Gamble House and the Greene & Greene arts & craft epoch, but also when I saw & read the author's name. Tom Houg's genius lies in his succinct style of writing and makes it articulately clear to even the occasional reader. What may seem taboo or politically incorrect, he takes it off the table and describes sensitive situations without being offensive nor condescending. I feel like one of those lucky persons in life who got to meet the amiable author personally (not knowing who he was or even cared until his lips moved with words that penetrated my own thoughts and views). Tom is not just an artist; he is an author with an accolade for sharing more by speaking less. Buy the book! – rt

You wouldn't think that his 12 years experience racing Karts would have applied to his excellent Dirt Late Model career, but Chris Madden will tell that it certainly did.
"It was the nature of the Kart, with its lack of a suspension system, that taught me to feel the racecar," says Madden. "With a car with a suspension system, you can feel the car move against the shocks and springs. But with a Kart, I developed the capability to feel the speed. I also learned with the Kart that you had to be very smooth to run fast.
"It also works that way with Dirt Late Models where you also want to drive smoothly and try not to scrub off the speed."
Madden, 33, must have learned that lesson well in the Karts because he was very, very good in those speedy little machines. "I ran on both the dirt and pavement and ended up getting about 150 wins with the World Karting Association," he recalls.
He says, though, that Karting came to a screeching halt when his best friend started running a Street Stock at the local dirt track. "That lasted for about a half season, but I certainly knew it was something that I wanted to do. But in 1997, I pooled my funds and bought an 8-year-old Dirt Late Model and continued to run locally. Even won a couple races and got to run against Hall of Famer Buck Simmons."
The 1998 season marked Madden's first full campaign in a dirt car, and he started traveling to events when he could find the time. It was still a weekend deal as his full-time job was driving a log truck in the area around his hometown of Gray Court, South Carolina.
During those early years and later in his career, Madden was driving for nearby Barry Wright Racecars. Wright is a real fan of Madden's driving skills.
"Chris has a lot of talent on the track," says Wright. "He drove my cars off and on for about 10 years. He is one of the few drivers that knows what is going on with his car. He knows what the problem is with the car and knows what it takes to fix it."
In 2002, Madden was driving a friend's car and was winning a bunch of races. But, he says, "Then the deal fell through and it left me hanging high and dry. At that time, I didn't know if my career was going to continue."
Fortunately, things really turned around in 2003. "I think it was the season that I came into my own. I won my first national race that year, an Extreme Series race at 311 Speedway. It was the most memorable moment of my career even though I have won bigger races later in my career."
A career-changing situation took place in 2004 when Madden befriended superstar Scott Bloomquist and drove one of his cars for another team. He won 11 races that season, with six coming with the Southern All-Stars (SAS) group. Another major accomplishment that season was a Sixth Place finish in the Eldora Dream, and things were really starting to come together.
He hit the road for the 2005 season and won the championship with the Southern All-Stars, where he notched half of his 10 wins. There were also a number of Top 5s in acquiring that title.
What was then his best season was topped in 2006 with another SAS title. His 15 wins came in both Barry Wright and Bloomquist equipment. There was also a big $20,000 win in the Gator 100 at Volusia County Speedway.
Then, there was a 16th Place effort at the World 100, but that wasn't the whole story. "I took the lead on Lap 28," recalls Madden. "The car was driving like a Caddy and I was passing everybody, but then I had a flat tire that was a great disappointment. I had set fast time and won my heat race from sixth starting place. I really thought that this could be my night, but it didn't happen."
One venue where he has really dominated in recent years is the Dirt Track at Lowes Motor Speedway. His accomplishments have included wins in 2005, 2006, and 2007, along with runner-up finishes in 2007 and this year. "I love that track because of its high speeds," he says. "It's not really that high banked, but we can really get around it. It's actually the shape of a big circle.
"It's really great going there because of the many Cup guys that come over to watch us race. I really think because of the increasing involvement of Cup guys with dirt teams that you could see some Dirt Late Model drivers really getting a shot at Cup. If I thought I could get good equipment and somebody wanted to give me a shot at Cup, I would probably give it a shot. But with the purses we have, I feel very comfortable in this kind of racing."
Madden will tell you that he thinks the biggest change in the Dirt Late Models over the course of his career has been in the suspension systems. "There have been tremendous changes in the shock and spring locations, along with different front ends, and a huge improvement in shock design. Of course, the engines have also improved greatly, now making well over 800 hp.
"As far as the current rules in the sport, I really object to inversions in the front of the field. I really think that it promotes sand-bagging during qualifications. You end up being penalized for your accomplishments."
Dirt Late Model Pointers From Chris MaddenA DrivingIf you are a young driver who is thinking about getting into a Dirt Late Model, the place to start would be in either a Crate Late Model or a Modified. The Modified has narrow tires and is an excellent vehicle to learn how to apply power. With the Crate Late Model, you can learn the handling characteristics of a Dirt Late Model because you are using a Dirt Late Model chassis, only with a less-powerful engine. One important thing to recall, do not stick to the same track all the time. You need to experience different tracks and learn which driving style applies to different track surfaces. Watch the good drivers on the track and the grooves they take. It's very important to keep up with the track. Remember, the driver is still very important.
A TechnologyIf you don't understand how a Dirt Late Model works, you really don't need to be driving one of these cars. I really believe that you have to have that knowledge to win races. Hey, I know how everything works on my cars.

Live virtual machine (VM) migration is a technique for transferring an active VM from one physical host to another without disrupting the VM. In principle, live VM migration enables dynamic resource requirements to be matched with available physical resources, leading to better performance and reduced energy consumption. However, in practice, the resource consumption and latency of live VM migration reduce these benefits to much less than their potential. We demonstrate how these overheads can be substantially reduced, enabling live VM migration to fulfill its promise. Specifically, we first experimentally study several factors that contribute to the resource consumption and latency of live VM migration, including workload characteristics, the hypervisor and migration configuration, and the available system and network resources. Then, from the insights gained, we propose an alternative remote direct memory access-based migration technique that significantly reduces VM migration overheads. Finally, via simulation and experiments with real system prototypes, we demonstrate that the reduced VM migration overhead results in significant improvements in resource and energy efficiencies, relative to existing migration techniques.

Endosense Appoints Nicolas Marsault as New Chief Financial Officer
Endosense Appoints Nicolas Marsault as New Chief Financial Officer
GENEVA--Endosense, a pioneer and leader in contact-force sensing technology focused on improving the efficacy and safety of catheter ablation for the treatment of cardiac arrhythmias, has named Nicolas Marsault as its new chief financial officer. Marsault joins the company as it continues to expand the commercial presence of its TactiCath® contact-force sensing ablation catheter in Europe and prepares for the device's anticipated launch in the United States. His appointment follows the closing of a USD 40.3 million/CHF 37.4 million series C financing round, announced by Endosense on November 27.
"With his strong background in both finance and science, we expect him to play a critical role in the expansion of our business worldwide."
"We welcome Nicolas to our team at a pivotal time of growth for the company," said Jan Keltjens, Endosense president, chief executive officer and chairman of Endosense. "With his strong background in both finance and science, we expect him to play a critical role in the expansion of our business worldwide."
Marsault brings to Endosense more than 10 years of executive experience in healthcare and industrial finance, with earlier career tenure in engineering. Prior to Endosense, he held various managerial positions within Merck Serono's commercial controlling, forecasting and internal audit departments, where he developed an expertise in business development in the pharmaceutical industry. During his time at Merck Serono, he, among other achievements, successfully implemented SOX in twelve months; maintained a profitable growth over four years; and negotiated in licensing deals with big pharmaceutical partners. Earlier in his career, Marsault held the position of manager of internal auditing at Saint Gobain, the world leader in the habitat and construction markets, and was also a research engineer at Péchiney (currently ALCAN), a major aluminum conglomerate.
"Endosense is a visionary company with a platform therapeutic technology that has the potential to deliver significant benefit to patients around the world," said Marsault. "It is a pleasure to join the Endosense team at such an important and exciting time in the company's history."
Marsault has replaced Endosense's previous chief financial officer, Andrea Buscaglia.
About Endosense

The company pioneered the use of contact-force measurement in catheter ablation with the development of the TactiCath, the first contact-force sensing ablation catheter to give physicians a real-time, objective measure of contact force during the catheter ablation procedure. Endosense is backed by NDN Capital, Edmond de Rothschild Investment Partners, Neomed, Gimv, VI Partners, Sectoral Asset Management, Ysios Capital Partners and Initiative Capital Romandie.
