Today, the Chemical Heritage Foundation (C.H.F.) is located in Philadelphia's Old Town. The CHF opened The John C. Haas Archive of Science & Business in a state-of-the-art facility on Thursday, October 10, 2013.
Thirty two years ago, if one had wanted to consult the archives of the CHF - originally known as the Center for the History of Chemistry - one had to descend into the basement of a building on the campus of the University of Pennsylvania (Penn), where Professor Edgar Fahs Smith (1854-1928) had founded the History Division of the American Chemical Society (A.C.S.). Professor Smith served as president of the ACS three times.
Arnold Thackray, CHF's founder and chancellor, recounted in an interview in April of 2011, not long after John C. Haas died, how the businessman and philanthropist had played a critical role in helping Thackray realize his vision. Our story begins in 1976, when the U.S. celebrated its bicentennial (the 200th anniversary of the declaration, if not the achievement, of independence from Great Britain) and the ACS, based in Washington, D.C., celebrated its centennial (the 100th anniversary of its foundation). Thackray joked there was also "envy of the physicists and their Center for the History of Physics."
By 1981 the ACS invited universities and other institutions to express interest in hosting a center for the history of chemistry. While the historical collections that Professor Smith assembled at Penn had drawn Professor Thackray from Cambridge to Philadelphia as a young academic over a dozen years earlier, to create a viable center would require strong help from the area's chemical community.
A friend from Harvard University directed Thackray to Professor Charles C. Price, a former ACS president and Swarthmore College board chair who suggested he contact John C. Haas of Rohm & Haas. The latter committed $40,000, provided the history center be located in Philadelphia.
Thanks to his commitment, Thackray soon secured additional resources from Penn and funds from the chief executives officers of DuPont and Dow. In January of 1982, the ACS and the University of Pennsylvania created the Center for the History of Chemistry (CHOC).
Hass was active in the leadership of the CHOC for thirty years as a board member, member of the Board of Overseers, and member of the Fundraising Committee. Thackray described him as "an engaged friend and advisor," and said, "He would not hesitate to go on visits with me. He introduced me to Irénée du Pont, the patriach of the du Pont clan, and vouched for me and for what we planned to do."
John C. Haas was born in Haverford, Pennsylvania and attended the Episcopal Academy. He received his A.B. degree from Amherst College in 1940, and his M.S. degree in chemical engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (M.I.T.) in 1942.
That year, he went to work for the chemical company his father, Otto Haas, had co-founded, the Rohm & Haas Company. He started as a process engineer at the Bridesburg plant in Philadelphia.
John C. Haas served as an officer in the U.S. Navy during the Second Great World War. In 1946, he returned to the Bridesburg plant. He went on to hold administrative posts at plants in Knoxville, Tennessee and Houston, Texas.
In 1952, while he was in Houston, John C. Haas married Chara Aurora Cooper and they went on to have five children. Her life had very different from his. Twice, she had worked as a domestic servant.
She was born one of seven children in Bryn Athyn, Pennsylvania, one of seven children. Her father, Frederick J. Cooper, an English immigrant, was a watchmaker.
Chara Cooper's first job was as a domestic servant at the Glencairn Estate in Bryn Athyn. Later, she worked as a shipping clerk and errand girl at Fred J. Cooper, her father's jewelry store in Philadelphia.
Her father died in 1941, and her mother, Aurora Synnesvedt Cooper, died in 1945, when Chara was eighteen. Nevertheless, in 1949 Chara was able to fulfill part of her father's dream that his children should see Europe when she sailed by herself to England on the Queen Elizabeth (and back on the Queen Mary).
In 1951, a family she had worked for invited her to move to Houston, Texas to help care for their children. While in Houston, she met John C. Haas. At the time, he worked at the Rohm & Haas plant in town.
They married in Bryn Athyn on June 21, 1952. They settled in Houston, where their first child Barbara was born. Later, John and Chara Haas moved their growing family to Wyncote, Pennsylvania before they made their final move to the the Haas family's Stoneleigh estate in Villanova, Pennsylvania.
By 1953, John C. Haas had become Vice President in charge of Personnel, and soon added Purchasing and Logistics to his brief. In 1959, he became Vice-Chairman of the Board.
After his father's death in 1960, his brother F. Otto Haas, became President and CEO of the Rohm & Haas Company. John C. Haas became Executive Vice President of Rohm & Haas and Chairman of the William Penn Foundation, which his father and mother, Phoebe Waterman Haas, had founded in 1945 to address social problems they perceived in the wake of World War II.
He also served as president of the United Way of Southeastern Pennsylvania. In 1984, he co-founded the Alexis de Tocqueville Society to encourage people to become significant donors to the United Way.
Haas was also a director of the Boys and Girls Clubs of Philadelphia. He was a supporter of both the Natural Lands Trust and the Rev. Leon Sullivan's Opportunities Industrialization Center for America (OIC).
The Natural Lands Trust is devoted to land conservation in Pennsylvania and southern New Jersey. In the 1960s, Phoebe Waterman Haas introduced her son John C. Haas to Rev. Sullivan (1922-2001), a Baptist preacher active in the Civil Rights movement who taught self help through education and skills training.
In 1976, he co-founded the Balch Institute for Ethnic Studies, and served as trustee until its absorption by the Pennsylvania Historical Society in 2002. Haas was a trustee of MIT and a member of the Board of Governors of Temple University Health System.
From 1974 to '78, John C. Haas served as Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Rohm & Haas Company. He retired from the Board of Directors in 1988. Four years later, his brother died.
In 2006, John & Chara Haas founded the Stoneleigh Foundation, which they named in honor of the Stoneleigh estate. He attributed the idea to devote their personal estate to help serve the needs of vulnerable and underserved children and youth to Chara.
The Dow Chemical Company purchased the Rohm & Haas Company for $15,000,000,000 in 2009. John C. Haas set aside a significant amount of money for the William Penn Foundation.
Haas died April 2, 2011 at the age of ninety-two on the Stoneleigh estate. "Knowing Mr. Haas for the past seven years has been an extraordinary privilege for me," said Feather Houstoun, President of the William Penn Foundation. "I know that the staff who have worked at the Foundation during the past half-century feel the same. He was the epitome of humility and kindness, setting an example for everyone associated with the Foundation. His special brand of quiet leadership has been deeply ingrained in our organization's mission, values, and work and remains the standard to which we hold ourselves. He will be greatly missed."
He was survived by Chara; their daughter, Barbara; their sons David, Leonard, Frederick, and Duncan; and ten grandchildren, as recounted in his obituary. Chara Aurora Cooper Haas passed away on August 15, 2012 at the age of eighty-five.
She had been one of the founders of the Pathway School in Norristown, Pennsylvania. She served as chair of the board.
In 1986, Dr. Arnold Orville Beckman (1900-2004), the chemist, industrialist, and philanthropist, presented a generous challenge grant to the Center for the History of Chemistry at a time when the four-year-old organization still occupied two basement rooms on the Penn campus. One year later, Arnold & Mabel Beckman created CHF's Beckman Center for the History of Chemistry.
The Beckman gift inspired other major gifts that by the turn of the century allowed the CHF to move to a permanent facility and greatly expand its work. By the 2011-12 academic year, the CHF's Beckman Center for the History of Chemistry was America's largest grantor of fellowships in the history of science.
Arnold O. Beckman was born in the small farming community of Cullom, Illinois, on April 10, 1900. He became interested in science at a young age when he discovered a chemistry book from Steele's textbook series Fourteen Weeks in Science, originally published in 1861, in the family attic. Beckman soon converted a tool shed his father had built for him for his tenth birthday into a chemistry lab.
He earned his bachelor's degree in chemical engineering at the University of Illinois in 1922, and his master's degree in physical chemistry in '23. He paid for his education and helped support his family by playing the piano in movie theaters (back when live musicians played the accompaniment for silent films). Beckman went on to receive his doctorate in photochemistry at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) in 1928.
In 1935, Beckman, who as a Caltech professor had invented a pH meter to test acidity, founded National Technical Laboratories in a garage in Pasadena to commercialize his invention. He changed the name of the company to Arnold O. Beckman, Inc. in the 1940s as he expanded the product range and Beckman Instruments in the 1950s.
The biomedical instruments manufacturer was known as Beckman Coulter, Inc. after its acquisition of the Coulter Corporation in 1997. Beckman Coulter, Inc. is now an operating company of the Danaher Corporation, which acquired it in 2011. Danaher began in 1969 as DHM, Inc., a real estate investment trust that changed its name to Diversified Mortgage Investors, Inc. in 1978, and the Danaher Corporation in 1984.
Today, the CHF is located at 315 Chestnut Street. The John C. Haas Archive of Science & Business is located near the northwest corner of 3rd Street and Chestnut Street.
It houses the personal papers of significant scientists, engineers, and innovators; historical records of businesses and industries with a strong science, technology, or medical connection; and the papers of major scientific and engineering societies and organizations. Thanks to money from the Wyncote Foundation, the CHF was able to restore the brownstone façade of an original building (erected around 1855) and transformed the building's interior into a storage facility.
The archive's shelves are 3.5 stories tall, and most are accessible only with a lift. When filled to capacity, the building will hold 8,500 linear feet, or 1.5 miles, of material and allow CHF room to expand its collections.
"The new building allows us to collect and preserve more material than ever before," said Carsten Reinhardt, CHF's President and CEO. "This is important, as the heritage of the molecular sciences and technologies, engineering and industry, is enormous and plays a crucial role in modern society."
The expansion provides space to house collections that CHF otherwise could not acquire. In some cases, it allows CHF to save historically significant materials from being lost altogether.
"The archive improves the chances of preserving collections that otherwise might not find a home," said Ronald Brashear, the Arnold Thackray Director of the Othmer Library of Chemical History at CHF. "Further, if you have all this material in one place, researchers can start making connections between different collections that might not be obvious on the surface. The more you have in one place, the more you can dig in and make serendipitous discoveries."
The first collection placed in the John C. Haas Archive of Science & Business was the Rohm & Haas Company archives. The archive-building dedication ceremony on Thursday, October 10, 2013 included remarks by David Haas, Chairman of the William Penn Foundation; E. N. "Ned" Brandt, vice president and secretary, Rollin M. Gerstacker Foundation; and Richard Negrin, deputy mayor of administration and coordination, and managing director, City of Philadelphia.

Zhang Daqian (1899-1983) is
a famous artist in China's modern and contemporary cultural circles. He was born into a rich family in Neijiang, Sichuan
Province. Zhang learned to draw (after his mother) when he was just 10
years old. At age 12 he was already famous for his
flower-and-bird paintings. Zhang devoted his whole life to Chinese
painting and also indulged in poetry, seal cutting and calligraphy.
Zhang was
versatile and brilliant in many techniques and styles of Chinese painting, like
gongbi (meticulous brushwork), free
sketches, ink-and-wash painting, heavy coloration, figure painting, paintings of
birds and flowers and landscape painting. Not only did he epitomize the
traditional art of painting, but he was a pioneer in blending the ideas and
skills of traditional and modern painting, as well. Inspired by the splendid
landscapes of his country, Zhang produced many beautiful and unforgettable works
of art expressing his love for China. His practice, vigor and efforts in many
great paintings have enhanced the renovation, development and prosperity of
modern Chinese painting -- a remarkable contribution to its recognition in the
Zhang was one of
the few painters to have copied great paintings of successive dynasties to a
large extent. He strongly emphasized the exploration of traditional value
through imitation.
It is of
vital importance to learn from tradition, said Zhang. There is the long
tradition of painting art and many great paintings left behind by our master
painters in our country. In different societies and with the effort of all their
lives, they accumulated much experience. We should learn and master the rich
experience and apply it in practice to carry it forward and gradually form our
own style. It is the endeavor for the whole life. It won't do without
painstaking efforts.
Ever since the
1930s, Zhang and Qi Baishi were honored with the titles -- Zhang in the south
and Qi in the north meaning the best two Chinese painters of the time. Xu
Beihong, a modern Chinese art master, once praised Zhang as the best painter in
the recent 500 years.
Zhang, who was a
lay Buddhist, also enjoyed many legends. His uniqueness in the artistic field of
20th-century China is not only in his persistent exploration, great achievements
and influence, but also in his complex experiences and broad stages in social
life participation.
At 42 years of
age, Zhang became determined to leave the comfortable life in the city for a
remote existence in Dunhuang to improve himself near the famous grotto walls. In
two years and seven months, Zhang copied 276 frescoes from the Bei Wei Period,
Sui Dynasty, Tang Dynasty and Five Dynasties. Now, 183 of his copies are
preserved at the Sichuan Provincial Museum. Zhang's efforts in Dunhuang
fresco-copying not only helped him reach a higher level of artistic attainment,
but also made the Dunhuang paintings famous throughout and outside of
The second half
of Zhang's life was mainly spent abroad promoting Chinese artistic civilization
and cultural exchanges between China and Western countries. In 1958 Zhang was
proclaimed The Best Contemporary Painter in the World by the International
Fine Arts Association in New York, and was awarded a gold medal that was a great
honor to the Chinese people.
After half a
century, the charm of Zhang's artworks endures. His honor and prestige is
founded on his talent, self-cultivation, broad mind, vision and diligent
exploration and study throughout his entire

A new patent application filed by Apple suggests the company is working on putting together a device that would charge multiple Apple products at the same time, including an iPhone or iPod and a MacBook at the same time. The patent is for a "multi-output power supply" that would hook up a charger plugged into one outlet into two separate voltage outputs, which means you could charge up whatever devices you have without taking more than one plug in a wall.
This technology isn't new — the PlugBug has made quite a name for itself this year by doing exactly this, and that product is already out there and purchasable. But what's interesting here is that Apple is presumably working on one of these for itself (and given that the patent is actually dated last year, probably has been for a while). An official Apple charger for multiple devices would undoubtedly sell well.
And it represents an area Apple hasn't really dived into much in the past: Actual hardware that takes advantage of users who have more than one Apple device laying around. With things like AirPlay and iTunes Home Sharing, Apple has definitely supported multiple devices with software. But most Apple users these days definitely do have more than one device laying around, and I'm interested to see if Apple decides to tie those together any more (optionally, of course) in the future.

Belz Hassidim 'Conquer' Kotel Plaza
Hassidic dynasty fills up the plaza for post-Tisha B'Av L'Chayim toast.
By Gil Ronen
First Publish: 8/10/2011, 1:43 PM
Members of the Hassidic Belz dynasty filled up the Kotel Plaza Tuesday in a traditional L'Chayim toast following the Tisha B'Av fast. The hassidim sang songs of longing for the Temple.
The Kotel Plaza is situated at the foot of the Temple Mount, where the Jewish Temple resided before the Romans sacked and burned it down on Tisha B'Av, 1941 years ago.

I'm not a consultant, but I love their products. I would never be good at something like that, but if I were to choose that route for employment Pampered Chef would be the way to go. They offer the best hostess discounts, which results in returned business for you. I used to have a party every August so that I could get my 10% off through the year.

Sybil Beasley is closing her doors after 50 years. For the past 20 of those years she ran a successful hair salon on Cheery Street in downtown Helena. In an interview with the Helena World, she noted that she bought the building in 1993. "I have been in the business since 1963." She started at the Pink Cloud in West Helena in October 1963. There were, "many long hours when I started, I came in when the lady was running a $5 permanent wave special and I booked those dudes and that is what built my business. I worked from can till can't then." Before moving to her building on Cherry Street, she had two other shops. "One was in the U-Save Shopping Center and then I had one where Tony's BBQ is… then John and I met and then we moved to Texas for two years, so I took that two- year break from here, but I worked and I had my own shop down there for two years." She continued, "So we came back here and met John Robbins while we were having dinner at Jay's and they kept on and said you need to put in another shop, and he told me about this building. We came down and looked at it and the rest is history." When asked what it was about hair dressing that she enjoyed, she replied, "The relationships – the people. They are my family and I love hair. I started doing my own when I was 11 putting perms in the ladies in the community and the country and it just seemed like something that I was going to do. I was destined. I love doing hair and I am going to miss it." She remembered one of the more memorable hair emergencies throughout her half-century of working in a salon. She recalled, "A lady came in rather late. She was coloring her own hair and she had turned it green and she came in tears and she wanted to know if there was something that I could do. The first thing I did was pray, because this woman needed help. I had never seen her. And (laughing) it worked! I really did not know what I was going to do at that time. That has been several years ago, but she looked really good when she left!" Laughing with her husband, she said, "I will never forget that one and neither will my husband." During the interview, one of her long-time friends and customers brought her a plate of Christmas candy. "This is what it is all about- the relationships."

2:00ish PM: Arrive at parents' house. Carry in all the gifts and bags. Am numb and want to cry a little. Before I can get off coat and gloves, mom says I should move my car up in the driveway and maybe while I'm out there I can also go get gift boxes, icing, sprinkles, food coloring and look for cookie cutters again because my dad didn't get the right stuff. Moving car does not constitute going to stores. Want to know what I did to make her hate me.
2:30-3:30 PM: Begin hunt for Christmas boxes and cookie making stuff. There are no Christmas boxes, but do find cookie making stuff. See lots of people I went to high school with. Always hate that. Many look like they have been rode hard and put up wet. Feeling smug. Go to third store. Find boxes. Feeling more smug. Strange man with accent stands too close to me and says, "Merry Christmas, Pretty Lady". No longer feeling smug, but feeling very dirty. Need bath.
4:30 PM: Joy Fay on phone with my crazy aunt. Mother asks me if bear spray will kill a cat. I look at her like she has two heads. Grace is shooting Oreo out her nose because she's laughing so hard because she told nana about bear spray and how it's even better than mace. Ask mother if my aunt is trying to kill the cat. Her response? "She shot it in the butt with a BB gun, but it still keeps spraying her stuff." Walk out of room because both women are insane and don't need any encouragement from me.
9:00 PM: Begin baking and decorating cookies for Santa. Mother does not have flour, rolling pin or more than one baking sheet. Just stare at her in awe because, hell-o, she is a grandma.
2:00 AM: Need to pee. Decide it's as good as time as any to put out gifts from Santa and eat cookies. Notice both children put red on their cookies. Mama/Santa is allergic to red dye. Max is forgiven because he does not yet know mama=Santa. Grace is trying to kill me. Too tired to think to just put cookies in trash. Eat them both. Realize I have no Benadryl. Lay in bed and itch for over an hour. Note to self: next year, no red dye with the cookies.
7:30 AM: Ripped from a deep sleep where I was dreaming I was young and not beat down again by phone. Ex-husband sending text: "Merry Xmas. Get your ass out of bed!" Vow to stab him in his delicate man parts with ice pick upon seeing him next.
8:00 AM: Max rolls out of bed. Grace thinks her stocking has not been stuffed. I panic. Stocking has been stuffed, but everyone forgets for a moment as we look in awe at the first white Christmas any of us, minus Joy Fay, has ever seen. Then the unwrapping commences. Grace bought me shower curtain (pictured above) I wanted but wouldn't buy myself because the kids needed things. I almost cried.
9:30 AM: Joy Fay sends daddy for breakfast. Then cooks breakfast while he's gone. Seems odd, but okay. Then tries to force feed Max more food when daddy returns with breakfast. Max tries to fight her and the bacon off. She almost overtakes him, but he triumphs. He will never be the same, though.
10:00 AM: Children decide to play in snow. Max takes new Bionicles. Loses some part from all three. Hysterics commence. Grace finds two. Mommy thinks the other might be in the belly of a bird, but decides not to share theory with hysterical seven-year-old. He then blames me for letting him take them outside. Almost share bird theory. Decide to be nice since it's Christmas.
11:00 AM: Try to play Grace's new DS clothes designing game while she showers. Can't figure out how to put in my name. Am now Candah. Don't understand game. Hate DS. Hate clothes designing game.
3:00 PM: Begin packing for trip home. Find Benadryl. Cuss a blue streak.
4:00 PM: Finally get the car loaded and get on the road home. Am amazed at the new Best Buy, Lowes, and Panda Express. Wonder why no one told me they were so close to parents house and why I hadn't noticed them before when I'd come to visit. Would be because missed exit and was nearing the main post office in Dallas. Had to turn around. Max made snide comment. I pretended like I didn't hear him because it's Christmas.
5:00 PM: Deposited Max with ex-husband. Although expecting me, he didn't try to break up ice in driveway. Almost died twice. Vowed to sue him if I broke my hip. He did not take me seriously. He better be glad hip not broken, cause I'm so not kidding.
6:03 PM: Off to hang new fancy shower curtain (pictured above). And enjoy the silence of home. Too much Christmas. Glad won't have to deal with it again for 365 days.

If you're a young rapper putting videos on the Internet, lots of things can happen really suddenly. Take probably-teenage rapper Kitty Pryde–she doesn't talk about her exact age online, but she's old enough to have a job at Claire's and young enough to still be in school. A week ago, the Daytona Beach student was posting earnest, self-recorded rap songs like "Justin Bieber" ("Justin Bieber on my notebooks and my pens / Justin Bieber is my very best friend") and "Okay Cupid" ("Lordy, shorty, you're a 10 and I wait for your drunk dials at 3:30 a.m., I love them") to Tumblr, set to spacey beats and delivered half with swagger, half with giggles. Since then, she's been mentioned–and praised–by media outlets both niche, like Fader, Vice and Complex, all the way up to The New York Times, which called her a "fascinating" alternative to the likes of other Internet-savvy female rappers like Kreayshawn. We spoke to her about her sudden fame, rumors and texts from her idols, and what she'd like to do next.
So things have gotten a little bit crazy over the past days.
Yeah. It's been really ridiculous!
Has it been sudden, or has it sort of built up to this?
It was way more than I expected at first. When I came out with ["Okay Cupid"] without the video, it was a little mini-version of this anyway. It's been kind of steady since then, more and more stuff. We had all this stuff in talks with my manager for Fader, and I thought, "Ooh, Fader! That's going to be cool." Then it came out, and everything exploded.
So what brought you to start all this? Was it just an idea one day, or a joke at the beginning?
I was hanging out with my friends, and we were listening to Nicki Minaj. And every time we would listen to Nicki Minaj, we would just go over the song and do different lyrics.
Which song?
It was "Roger That."
Good choice.
So I was on my MacBook and was like, "Oh, I have a MacBook. Let's record it in GarageBand!" So we did, and it was a song about how much I hated my ex-boyfriend. At that point we didn't really talk, so he didn't know that the song was about him. Then we kind of got back together for a little while, and I hid it from him. I really, really hope that he's seeing all this. I just think it's so funny.
So in the video, you're looking up photos of Danny Brown. Have you met him?
I've never actually met him, but he did give me his phone number. I don't know why he did. But he gave it to me on Twitter one day, messaged me and was like, "You should hit me up!" I was like, "Oh my god, what the hell?" I was so excited. I texted him a few times, and he only answered me once. You could tell he wasn't really into it. But yesterday, he tweeted the video, and he told me he loves me and was like "Fuck the haters, you're awesome!" Hopefully I'll get to meet him. That's the only thing I really want out of this. If I don't get anything else out of this, then at least I got to meet Danny Brown.
You could also meet Justin Bieber, possibly.
That seems super out of the question. Who gets to met Justin Bieber? Nobody gets to meet Justin Bieber.
I mean, it's not entirely impossible.
Maybe not. I guess maybe Rebecca Black got to meet Justin Bieber at some point.
It's funny you mention that, because with her or Kreayshawn or people like that, it's kind of a really weird thing the Internet does–make everything into a joke, or a novelty.
It sort of is a novelty, I guess. It was just a joke. I didn't sit down and think with a team of people, "Oh, how am I going to make it in the music industry? That's what I want to do. I want to be a musician. Let's do this, I want to be famous." I've literally been sitting here doing this on my own computer, recording it in my closet. The "Okay Cupid" song took me 30 minutes to write. I just think it's really funny that people are taking it so seriously and going through and writing huge articles and making comparisons to pop culture and all this other shit. I just wrote that song because I wanted to impress a boy, OK?
Like the whole "rap game Taylor Swift" thing?
Honestly, I said that myself. One of my favorite Internet rap guys is Riff Raff. He's always coining these terms, like "rap game Clark Kent" and stuff like that. I just think it's funny. So I was like, "I'm wearing a sparkly dress! Rap game Taylor Swift!" I just said that, and I guess it caught on. Then everybody's saying that I called myself the Hayley Williams of the rap game. I never said that. I have literally never said that in my life. So I don't know where that came from.
It just mutates, I guess.
It does! There are so many crazy rumors right now, it's so funny.
What's the craziest thing so far?
I saw somebody tweet that whoever started Supreme was related to me, and that they paid to have that music video made. And that's why there's such a prominent Supreme logo in it. I was like, "Wow, I don't think so."
That's pretty out there.
Or there's a lot of them about how somebody in the music industry is my daddy, and that's why this all happened. I'm like, no! My dad doesn't even know how to use the Internet at all!
It must be really interesting for him. What's his general opinion?
Now I have to have all these managers and stuff, and he's a lawyer, so he's really wary about contracts and money. He doesn't want me to get ripped off, which I probably already am. I haven't made any money at all. I made, like, twenty bucks off Bandcamp. He thinks it's really cool that people know my name now, but I think he's nervous about it. He doesn't want it to turn into a big trainwreck. And I agree. I don't really want that to happen either, but whatever.
It's a different sort of crowd, I imagine, now, from a couple hundred people on Tumblr. I've been reading this thing in Complex about people being really weird about it.
Yeah. It's weird. When I put something on my Tumblr, most of them already know who I am, and I guess they already like me a little, enough to read about my life. I didn't get a whole lot of mean things, but now it's like everybody in the whole world. Obviously, everybody in the whole world isn't going to like everything.
Is there any pressure to do things differently? Change the schedule, change how personal or biographical things get?
There is pressure. People keep bringing up, "you're very open with everything!" I didn't even realize I was being that open. I just kind of did. And I'm not going to stop — that's just going to ruin it.
You mentioned in that interview how even though people in your personal life might know about this, they haven't really been forthcoming about it. It seems like a really weird disconnect.
It's really weird. I haven't really seen anybody in the past day or so. Yesterday, I had to work all morning, then I came home and the Internet was exploding. I was like, wow, I kind of want to monitor this a little bit. I didn't really do anything except watch yesterday. My closest friends have been like, "oh my god, this is crazy." Today, one of them sent me a picture of my song playing on XM Radio, and they were like, "Oh my god, Kitty!" There's a group of really supportive friends, and then there's a group of friends who don't care at all. I'm like, "Why don't you guys care? This is so cool!" [laughs]
Different groups of people you know, or just different people?
The people from school are the ones that don't care. The people I know from outside of school are the ones that are cool. So maybe that's just one of the things that happens, that whole high school thing.
What about work [at Claire's]? Does your manager know?
I don't think they take me seriously when I tell them things. I think they think I'm making it up.
So you named yourself after somebody from the X-Men. Where'd that come from?
Well, my name is Kitty anyway. The first song I made, I actually made it with my ex-boyfriend, the one that I was making fun of. We were just messing around in my closet, too, and he was like, "I want to shout out your rap name in the beginning! So what's your rap name? I was like, "Oh, I don't know. I've never thought of one. just call me Kitty!" Then I was like "Uh… my real last name isn't very cute. I don't want to use that. So just call me Kitty Pryde!" Because I had just watched X-Men, and it was in my head. Now it's just turned into this big thing. Everybody's trying to find out the big meaning behind it, but mostly I just like X-Men.
It seems like the sort of thing that people could possibly make into a big thing if they wanted to go that route.
Yeah. Now that I think about it, there's ways. But whatever.
So since you mentioned Nicki Minaj, do you have any thoughts on her album?
It's really good. Everything Nicki Minaj does, I think is awesome, because she's the queen of my heart. It's really, really different from what she used to do in 2007 and 2008. That was my favorite, when she was really, really scary. Now she's not scary anymore. It's kind of like a different person.
So who else out there right now do you like right now?
I've literally been listening to the same three albums on repeat for the past few weeks. Blackland Radio 66.6, which is a year-old mixtape from Spaceghostpurrp. I didn't like it that much when it first came out, and then suddenly I just started loving it. I'm also listening to Chippy Nonstop all the time, because she's so fun and so cute and I love her. And Future's new album. I've been listening that like crazy. I don't know what's going to be next, but it needs to be something soon, because everybody around me is getting really sick of those three.
So what would your ideal next step forward be?
Apparently my manager's gotten a lot of emails yesterday, so I can only imagine how annoying that must have been. I don't really know how anything works in this business, but if they want me to make an album, I'm going to make an album. I have time. Whatever.
Any dream collaborations?
Obviously Danny Brown. I guess a little bit ago I would have said Riff Raff, but Riff Raff sent me a message last night on Twitter, and now he wants to collaborate anyway.
That's one dream down!
I'm waiting. I'm just watching my cell phone, waiting for Danny Brown to text me. We'll see what goes on with that.

The Basics of Vermicomposting
What is Vermicomposting?
Vermicomposting uses worms (typically red wigglers or Eisenia fetida) to convert organic waste into rich, fertile soil.
How is it different from hot composting?
Hot composting (what some people think of as outdoor compost piles and is also known as the Indole method of composting) is done outdoors and is best when you layer materials and mix regularly. Once hot compost cools, they will have worms, insects, bacteria, fungi, etc. all working to decompose waste. New hot compost piles are too hot for worms. Yes, vermicompost piles can be outdoors also, but what makes them special is the ability of vermicomposting to be working for you indoors when the weather gets cold and outdoor piles freeze.
Why Vermicomposting?
Compost indoors. Indoor composting is the best way to do continue composting over winter in northern climates.
Waste reduction. This is a great reason to use vermicomposting. Your garbage cans and sink disposal are convenient but wasteful ways to dispose of kitchen scraps. Vermicomposting helps you to reduce your contribution to the waste stream.
Produce your own fertilizer and compost tea. Worm compost and worm tea are great soil amendments for seedlings, transplants, houseplants, and gardens. Best of all, these are FREE from your worm bin.
Who should be vermicomposting?
Anyone can and everyone should (see why vermicomposting above). Once the bin is up and running it is really easy. My school age daughter is an avid vermicomposter and loves to help.
Where should I vermicompost?
You can vermicompost anywhere that you have space. The basement, cellar, or under the sink are great spots. Yes, you can also have your worm bin outside or in the garage, but you must keep the bin from freezing in the winter and getting too hot in the summer.
You can even bring a worm bin to work to vermicompost your waste from the work week! Check out this news story: MSNBC Worms in the Workplace (this is an Adobe Acrobat PDF file).
WormMainea in the news!
A worm bin from WormMainea was featured on WGME on July 18, 2014. Mark was interviewed by Charlie Lopresti of WGME CBS 13 for the What's Growing Segment .
A worm bin from WormMainea was featured on WCSH on April 2, 2009. Paul Tukey was a guest on the Morning Show and did a segment on vermicomposting.

It is everything a bride wants to look like on her special day–elegant, unique, classic, vintage…it's got all the elements! The three quarter length sleeves, key-hole back, and ivory lace over champagne silk combine to create the ultimate feminine look. Honestly, it saddens me to part with this dress. Any woman that gets to wear it will feel like she's stepped into a dream!

Destination Hotels & Resorts has polled its unrivaled team of wedding and event planners from its collection to determine the year's top 10 Trends. Experts have weighed in from across the company's portfolio of more than 40 luxurious, locally-inspired and experience-driven hotels and resorts on what couples want today and in the year ahead. From large lavish weddings to small intimate ceremonies and traditional to modern, weddings are more diverse than ever before.
"Never Ending Wedding Weekend": In the year ahead, wedding experts expect couples to expand upon the traditional wedding timeline and encourage their guests to 'make a weekend of it.' More and more newlyweds are adding elements such as after parties, day-after breakfasts and brunches and increasing the size and scale of rehearsal dinners.
"Traditional is Out, Imaginative is In": The days of stuffy rehearsal dinners, regimented plated meals, and suit-and-tie norms are numbered according to wedding experts at Destination Hotels & Resorts. Couples are shaking up the concept of a rehearsal dinner with new ideas such as dessert and champagne receptions or even an elaborate "Low Country Luau" featuring oysters, shrimp and grits, a whole roasted pig and tiki torches.
"Communal, Family-Style Meals Replace Old-School Catering Hall Staples": Modern couples are rebelling against the catering-hall norms of decades past with menus to match their more casual, informal lifestyles. With the popularity of family-style restaurants and renewed importance of families dining together as a whole, planners have seen an influx of requests for family-style meals.
"Food Trucks and Bar-B-Que Are In, Your Grandparents Prime Rib is Out!": Custom menus are all the rage at Destination Hotels & Resorts collection of outstanding wedding venues and chefs and planners have become increasingly creative when it comes to concepts, options and offerings. In recent years, Food Trucks continue to be popular and trendy, popping up in cities across the country, landing on the pages of magazines and ranking in prestigious restaurant guides.
"Themed After Parties": Gone are the days of surreptitious cocktails at the lobby bar, couples today are paying attention to the after party with whimsical themes and paying extra attention to this guest favorite.
"Interactive is King": Destination Hotels & Resorts experts have seen an influx of interactive ideas and DIY involvement from their wedding clients. Many hotels offer group cooking classes and couples are increasingly apt to leave their own personal stamp on their special day.
"Intimate is In, Crowds are Out": As online social circles continue to expand, people increasingly long for genuine relationships with those closest to them. Properties are available for a resurgence of smaller, intimate affairs.
"Embrace the Individual": Couples are increasingly apt to choose menus and themes that are personally meaningful to them. From ethnic cuisine to vegan menus and everything in between.
"#Weddings": Social media has become a massive part of people's lives and a primary source of information. Couples are continuing to create unique hashtags and to crowd source photos from their guests' posts.
"Craft Breweries, Wine Tastings and Bespoke Spirits": The foodie culture permeating the country has found its way to the bar. Couples today are more intimately involved with choosing unique spirits, wines and beers to be served to their guests with an emphasis on local offerings, boutique labels and inspired tastes.

Everywhere we look, every website we browse, every beauty blog in our RSS feed. Everyone is yammering on about beauty balms. What the hell is a beauty balm, you ask? It is a "do everything, solve every problem" kind of product and Dr.Jart+ was one of the first brands to bring it stateside. The Dr.Jart+ Premium Beauty Balm SPF 45 PA+++ ($39) is the queen of BB products. Basically, the formula offers some of the strongest protection against the sun that you can find on the market, and what's more, it provides superior moisturizing power, acts as a pore minimizer, and improves skin's elasticity. Essentially, if your skin needs something, this beauty balm has it.

Next Sony Ericsson Windows Mobile smartphone should be ready by the end of 2009: sources
While HTC has done a great job in sexing up Sony Ericsson's first Windows Mobile device, the Xperia X1, they likely won't be the same ones supplying the next model.
We earlier reported that a company called Mobinnova is eyeing to make the next model in 2009, but a new report points to two new companies that are also up for the task.
Apparently, Sony Ericsson is still in the process of looking for a company for its next Windows Mobile smartphone's production, and aside from Mobinnova, FIH and Pegatron Technology are also vying for the opportunity. HTC is not among the candidates.
Though this part of the manufacturing process shouldn't have to take long, industry sources have noted that SE will only begin to finalize details of its deal with the prospective partner sometime in the first quarter of 2009. By then, all the work on the actual manufacturing will begin, and the official launch of the next Sony Ericsson Windows Mobile phone is expected before the end of 2009 at the earliest.

The Drive POV 2.0 watch ($188) from Citizen's new Drive collection is exactly the kind of piece that can last you from morning until night. It works for the office, brunch with clients, dinner with your husband, and drinks with the girls. The grey strap and rose-gold stainless steel give it versatility and longevity that monochromatic alternatives can't offer, and the quality far outstrips the price tag.
Full disclosure: Outblush received a free sample of this product.

Weather Journal: Clouds Blanket Region
Greater New York will continue with the cloudy theme on Tuesday as a storm far offshore streams marine air toward the coast.
The onshore wind direction combined with the added moisture will produce periods of thick, low-level clouds throughout the day on Tuesday — much like those witnessed around the tri-state on Monday.
Temperatures will remain near normal as compared to historical Thanksgiving weeks, featuring temperatures in the upper 40s and low 50s for much of the day. With clouds consistently passing overhead acting as a blanket, temperatures won't drop off much during the overnight hours either.
Since Thanksgiving Day is now only a couple of days away, we now have a pretty good idea of what the day will bring weather-wise. Clouds should be on the wane in New York City, and temperatures should be about five degrees warmer than normal (think: mid-50s). Better yet, winds should remain calm enough as not to interfere with the full height of balloon floats down Broadway. All-in-all, it's shaping up to be a spectacular day.
The same can't necessarily be said for the days immediately following Thanksgiving.
The most accurate weather models still show the increasing likelihood of a quick-hitting cold snap that would take effect late Friday into Saturday and perhaps Sunday. The National Weather Service office with responsibility for New York City has mentioned the possibility of snow showers during the overnight hours Friday, though the incoming storm looks to have very little to work with in the way of moisture, so no accumulations are expected. Flurries could continue during the day on Saturday, but the big story will be gusty winds and temperatures dropping (perhaps into the upper 20s) toward a nadir Saturday night.
Tuesday's Greater New York forecast roundup:
- WSJ Headquarters in Manhattan:
- Actual High: 51; High feels like: 50
- Actual Low: 41; Low feels like: 39
- Weather: Cloudy weather continues

For contractors who are looking for ways to streamline their operation and at the same time, increase productivity, the Boxer® compact utility loader, manufactured by Morbark®, Inc., is capable of handling work of all kinds. Morbark purchased the Boxer Equipment product line from Mertz Manufacturing, LLC in late 2012. Following a March 29, 2013 unveiling of the first unit produced on the Winn, MI, assembly line, sales have continued to increase month over month. New markets are opening rapidly as customers are introduced to the proven lineup of equipment, as they realize the value of having a "full-time employee" without the reliability health and safety issues that often accompany asking workers to do heavy lifting, digging, loading and other tasks that can cause injury or possibly death.

I attended a wine and cheese tasting hosted by two of my favorite Westside culinary haunts, House Red Wine Shop and Marion Street Cheese Market. Both venues consistently tantalize and surprise with their unique offerings. And so it was on a Wednesday night, s sort of "tentpole" of levity to a stressful workweek, that I indulged in a little wine pairing entertainment.
The tasting started with a cava matched with a creamy soft cheese made from goat's milk. Like a brie, Haystack Mountain's Snowdrop is sold in a round disc covered in an edible rind with silky center, so soft it almost dissolved on my tongue like cotton candy. It was paired with Chateau Renni, a French name for a Spanish sparkling wine made in the French tradition.
As a welcome to the tasting, we were served a Prosecco, Italy's best known sparkler. Cava is made somewhat differently, in more a "methode traditionelle" which means it's made the same way that the sparkling wines of France's Champagne region are. This means the wine goes through two fermentations, one before bottling like still wine, then another in bottle which creates, and contains, the carbon dioxide that makes sparkling wines bubbly.
Prosecco is commonly made where the spent yeast cells from the first fermentation are removed before the second, in-bottle fermentation. The result is a more tart, fruit-forward aparkling wine. Cava, on the other hand, is made by leaving the spent yeast in for the second fermentation. This is called "sur lees" -- French for "on the yeast" -- and imparts a creamy finish to a cava that isn't found in the more austere finish of a Prosecco. It explains why the cava was particularly well matched to this creamy cheese. The crispness of the bubbles were able to cut through Snowdrop's richness, but the hint of creamy roundness on the wine's finish helped wed the two.
Interestingly, we also tried this cheese with a Cabernet, to go a little more tete-a-tete pairing a "big" cheese with a "big" wine. It was a fantastic match as well. We'll talk about that more next time.
Meantime, you can find Snowdrop at the Marion Street Cheese Market in Oak Park, and Chateau Renni at House Red in Forest Park.

Learn how to perfect the table tennis stroke known as the backhand loop with this ping pong video. Expert: Tahl Leibovitz
Video transcript:
My name is Tahl Leibovitz and I'm here at SPiN, New York. I am a professional table tennis player who has been competing internationally since 1995. I am here today to speak to you about the intermediate and beginner aspects of the Olympic sport of table tennis. Right now I'm gonna demonstrate the backhand loop. What's really important is that we usually loop against three types of balls. The most common ball is the backhand push. When we serve, the player pushes the ball and we wanna spin the ball. Now, the way we do that is that a lot of players wanna drive their first ball;it's not really good to do that, it's good to spin the ball at the table. So what happens is that the ball is pushed and we start with our racket below the ball, so the racket has to be below the ball. And then we spin the ball up, so we're sort of like this. This is the backhand loop against push. Now, the other one is when somebody blocks to us. When somebody blocks to us we come forward and we get on top of the ball. So we're sort of here; sort of getting on top of the ball. Those are actually the two main points. We also have a backhand counter, but that's not really used very much because it's a very high-risk shot, so usually when someone loops, we block, which we'll get to later. But, the backhand loop is where we start below the ball - then we spin the ball. It should travel high when we spin the first ball. It shouldn't travel straight. When they block to us the ball should travel more straight, like that.

Right now, after a few more tries at getting a judicial nominee through and being filibustered, Senator Reid is finally done with the obstructionism and is going nuclear on the filibuster for judicial nominees.
The current vacancy crisis of our judiciary is often unremarked by the media, but it has very big consequences for the justice system we all live under. Republicans want to claim Obama is too slow to nominate, but with them using the filibuster to block so many nominees - qualified, good nominations, we're not talking about political hacks, and even the Republicans can't always find a good objection other than it being something Obama initiated - our judicial system has been hampered for years.
The concept of "going nuclear" on the filibuster was, of course, invented by Republicans over the few filibusters of some very shady Bush nominees (people who were not qualified…remember, Bush at first wanted Harriet freaking Miers for the SCOTUS, and even his own party was like, wahhhhh?). But now the media is forgetting their history (shocker) and is saying this is a Democratic idea. Well, no, actually, thanks for playing.
But if this is the only way to fill our judicial vacancies and actually get the people's work done, let's do it. If and when Republicans become the majority, these rules will apply to Dems as a minority as well. Let each party own their own damn governing without a filibuster, if the rules are going to be abused in such a manner.
PS - why yes, I am streaming C-SPAN right now, if you must ask…
Update the vote to change the rules just passed. For all judicial nominees except SCOTUS, a simple majority will confirm them! Finally, a Senate that will (somewhat) function.
Some politicians just never learn:
For those of you that need some background - Renee is a political chum of mine. We kinda agree on certain political principles, I would say. But, I think we express our political will in very different ways. So, that is Renee.
Matt Vieira is a blossoming politician that can't get out of his own way. I think it's because he gets bad PR advice from
JMatt. Er, .. um, I mean JMac. Sorry. Freudian slip.
So, now you have the context, and the back story of how I came upon this Facebook back and forth.
I couldn't help, but notice this … exchange:
Maybe, it stuck out, as more prominent to me, because:
- I heard Dick Howe, on City Life, last week, diss the Democratic City Committee, while sitting next to Marie Sweeney.
- I have my own bone to pick with them and their do little, other than operate a 'conserva-Dem' incumbent protection program, approach to organizing local Dems.
Gerry Nutter laid it out, by the numbers. (I'll provide graphs, below the fold.)
Additionally, during those years that City Manager / Administration proposed and the City Council approved the use of about $17.87 million in one time money in Free Cash, nearly $6 million per year to sustain spending levels as opposed to making necessary cuts.All while being supported by the Editor at the SUN.
In October 2006 after removing that City Manager and with the appointment of a new CFO the City discovered that the budget that was now 1/3rd under way, was rife with miscalculations. Free cash to pay for services was estimated to be $3.5 million but in the end it was -$2.2 million, a difference of $5.7 million. Other local receipts were over estimated by about $2 million. The FY06 budget ran out of money for utility bills and they were moved into FY07 for payment making the already inadequate utility account doubly so
That is all fact, it supports and highlights the need for professional management along with a strong balanced council. Combined with the positive numbers I showed last week highlighting the upward direction the city is heading, why is this election being focused on stupid, petty garbage like OLD vs. New Lowell.
This week's "The Column" opted to be cute by half with this treatment.
MONTHS AGO, outgoing Mayor Patrick Murphy held an event at The Old Court. Those who attended, including one veteran politician, observed that Murphy packed the room with young, exuberant 20-somethings whose apparent desire to get involved in politics signaled a "new Lowell," an awakening of sorts.
I've heard the WCAP 'infomercial' try to lay the coining of this meme at the feet of Dick Howe, Jr. Of course, JMac only looks in the mirror, so he really won't know where the phrasing comes from. Gerry Nutter puts it on an attention seeking local media, which includes us 'big mouthed bloggers.' I concur. The 'new/old' meme has been floating around for several years now. It spun off the chatter about 'blow ins & grow ins,' etc. It's clear, from the way The Column above sidesteps it, that they didn't do their homework. But, opted, rather, to parrot JMac's empty headed contortion. JMac & Campi come up short. Funny, in my mind, was the word choice, " veteran politician," by Campi. Who hates Dick, Jr. only a little less than he hates Kendall Wallace, to the point Campi will only admit the existence of Dick's Blog, if he absolutely has to.
Dick, btw, has given witness to Gerry Nutter's framing of the corporate; desperate to survive, via, bargain basement fire sale journalistic ethics; local media:
In his Sunday Notes today, Gerry Nutter says that all the negativity about city government coming from the Sun and WCAP is designed to suppress voter turnout on November 5. I agree.
About those City Finance graphs:
Update: As I was saying, we should look out for this sort of thing.
"Those Were The Days"
by Lee Adams and Charles Strouse
Boy, the way Glen Miller played. Songs that made the hit parade.
Guys like us, we had it made. Those were the days.
Didn't need no welfare state. Everybody pulled his weight.
Gee, our old LaSalle ran great. Those were the days.
And you know who you were then, girls were girls and men were men.
Mister, we could use a man like Herbert Hoover again.
People seemed to be content. Fifty dollars paid the rent.
Freaks were in a circus tent. Those were the days.
Take a little Sunday spin, go to watch the Dodgers win.
Have yourself a dandy day that cost you under a fin.
Hair was short and skirts were long. Kate Smith really sold a song.
I don't know just what went wrong. Those Were The Days.
Regarding today's agreement with the Attorney General's Office:
I am glad that this civil settlement brings to a close a process that I initiated in January of 2012 when I asked for an investigation by the Office of Campaign and Political Finance based upon reports that Michael McLaughlin was improperly soliciting funds for my committee.
I asked for the investigation because I have always sought to play by the rules and run my political committee within the letter and the spirit of the law. This review has been comprehensive and we have fully cooperated with the authorities every step of the way.
As I have said from the start, I never asked Michael McLaughlin to solicit funds for my committee, because I know that would have been wrong. The finding that Michael McLaughin violated the law by asking people to donate to my committee is not shocking today given what we now know about his character and his criminal actions. As a result of his criminal activity, many people have been hurt, most importantly many good people in Chelsea who simply sought dignified and affordable housing for themselves and their families. If I knew in 2006 what I know today about Mr. McLaughlin, I would have never had any association with him at all.
Nevertheless, Mr. McLaughlin's behavior does not change the fact that I am ultimately responsible for administrative oversights made by my committee. While neither I nor any member of my committee was aware that Mr. McLaughlin was making such solicitations, we should have been more vigilant in monitoring the situation.
This investigation also found inappropriate fundraising activity by a state highway department employee. Again, I should have been more vigilant.
I have certainly learned from these mistakes and I hope that other elected officials, candidates for office and their political committees can as well.
This civil settlement and purging of the funds is a welcomed conclusion and I look forward to continuing to work hard in my role as President of the Worcester Regional Chamber of Commerce, to help businesses and institutions grow, create jobs and improve the quality of life for people in Central Massachusetts and the Commonwealth at large.
All the other bloggers are chiming in on the Coakley gubernatorial "trial balloon" reported in the Globe, so I might has well have a say. The internets are exploding with a collective "NOOOOOOOOO!" and we all know why.
Susan of Below Boston has a particularly pointed take:
If Martha Coakley is 'considering running' for MA Governor because some of her former campaign staff are 'giddy' because they just came off working in the Ed Markey campaign which was 'successful', and she's getting phone calls from some of them saying :'We know how to run a successful campaign now Martha!, Let's try again, come on! It will be better this time, you'll see'.
She better not seriously pick up these calls from these jokers – some of the activists on the South Shore had to 'endure' remnants of her campaign staff, who, for some totally unknown reason, but most possibly in my opinion it was because this state is in election overload and the truly BEST campaign operatives decided to take a 'break' after November of '12 and the Coakley remnants found themselves with the opportunity to do something that most people who had previously failed so spectacularly seldom get a chance to do: get a second chance to prove themselves.
A few proved themselves alright – proved again why Martha Coakley lost, and in a few short weeks managed to alienate an entire region South of Boston for Ed Markey.
Dick Howe also has a post up as well, with more general analysis, where he's a little more supportive. I'm wondering how he would react to Susan's take, because not only did Coakley lose to Brown spectacularly, but her campaign was horrendous, and do we have any evidence she'd change any of the horses midstream??
Here's my advice, Martha: if you want to stay "popular," stay where you are. You're a prosecutor, Jim, not a politician. Prosecutors do not, contrary to popular CW (common wisdom), make the jump successfully to higher offices like Governor or Senator. Reilly failed, Harshbarger failed, and you will fail (again), but you might take the Democratic party down with you when you do (like Harshbarger did). STAY HOME. Run for reelection as AG. DO NOT by any stretch of the imagination equate the excitement of your gawd-awful former campaign staff with any sort of activist excitement, cuz, we been there, we done that, and I know a SLEW of activists who would happily work against your campaign should you jump in.
Me, included.
PS/Update/Addendum: And as for the Grossman aspect, which Dick talks about in his post…well, let's just say that he looks kinda shady going after endorsements from Panagiotakos and Murphy around here. Whatever candidate they think is great is someone I probably will not. Or, to put it another way…I want to run. Screaming.
Update: Put them all together and you get "Bob LeBlanc joined the Morning Show." h/t to Teddy Panos for putting this 'stuff ' on line.

The dominoes are tumbling. Everyone has an opinion about Wally Bayliss' ill gotten goods. This thing is still playing out. And it won't stop with Wally, (the poor bastard).
From the Blog of Record:
LOWELL — The city is targeting the Retirement Board, an autonomous city agency, for nearly $100,000 the city paid in retiree health benefits to former License Commission member Walter Bayliss Jr., who the current board has determined was improperly granted retirement in 2006.
In a letter submitted to the Retirement Board last Friday, City Solicitor Christine O'Connor says the city paid approximately $97,000 towards Bayliss' health-insurance premiums from 2006 to the present.
"But for the Board inappropriately allowing Mr. Bayliss into the retirement system in 1995, and further allowing him to retire in 2006, the City would have never incurred such expenses," O'Connor wrote.
"This letter is to inform the board that the city intends to hold the board responsible for its actions in this matter as well as for any and all damage that the city has and may incur as a result of such actions."
In the letter, O'Connor highlights that the board approved Bayliss' entrance into the retirement system in 1995 based on documents saying he had served on the License Commission.
Bayliss had in fact served on the Lowell Memorial Auditorium Board of Trustees from 1984 to 1995 and was not compensated.
Level heads will prevail. The Tuesday Night Kabuki, City Life & the Blogs will all go quite, right after the November election.
And, it will all come down to these:
Public Employee Retirement Administration Commission (PERAC)
General Laws >> PART I >> TITLE IV >> CHAPTER 32
I'll see you on the other side.
Hey, Teddy.
Your ass is in a knot over welfare fraud. (Yes. I do listen.) And, you are a proponent of the big government intrusion of mandating citizens present photo identification when they go to exercise control over government, via ballots. As social engineering is an incrementalist's game, whether progressive or classic liberal, you should be happy as a clam to hear this:
From the Boston Dead Tree Rag:
It's time to slap photos on EBT cards and crank up oversight of the state's "broken" welfare system before more dead people can collect benefits, an incensed House Speaker Robert DeLeo told the Herald yesterday.
"Why do we have to let the wound fester? We have to stop this fraud, and we have to stop it now," DeLeo said, adding he was "appalled" by a state audit released Tuesday that showed $2.4 million paid to more than 1,100 dead people and $27 million to live recipients collecting EBT benefits out of state, including in Alaska and Hawaii.
DeLeo said House proposals to put photos on EBT cards, create a Bureau of Program Integrity and allow the Inspector General to monitor the embattled agency "are needed now more than ever," and promises by the Patrick administration that they are addressing the problems aren't enough.
For sure, if EBT cards are printed with a photo id of the benefit holder, an idea I fully support; then this will be a valid id. Thus, should the photo id intrusion into our ballot system of checks and balances move forward, those of us guarding against voter suppression will be partially relieved.
I love 'checks and balances.' It's the wisest creation of The Founders.
Update: David Bernstein, of Boston Magazine, did a nice job sorting through the spin factor around the Auditor's report. Such revelations will not help Teddy regain his composure. Maybe, it will help you, as it did me. Please proceed below the fold for an outtake.
Found this note in my Facebook messages. The author is known to me.
Keep me off your trashy blog.
I do not want my name appearing in print on that piece of shit blog you write.
Out of respect, I will limit my future entries, with regards to the offended, to only passages from the Blog of Record. While I won't argue the "Eye of the Beholder" aspect of my blogging being a 'piece of shit,' I do take exception to the notion that the Sunday Column is any less so.

Apixaban, an oral, direct factor Xa inhibitor, may reduce the risk of recurrent ischemic events when added to antiplatelet therapy after an acute coronary syndrome.
We conducted a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial comparing apixaban, at a dose of 5 mg twice daily, with placebo, in addition to standard antiplatelet therapy, in patients with a recent acute coronary syndrome and at least two additional risk factors for recurrent ischemic events.
The trial was terminated prematurely after recruitment of 7392 patients because of an increase in major bleeding events with apixaban in the absence of a counterbalancing reduction in recurrent ischemic events. With a median follow-up of 241 days, the primary outcome of cardiovascular death, myocardial infarction, or ischemic stroke occurred in 279 of the 3705 patients (7.5%) assigned to apixaban (13.2 events per 100 patient-years) and in 293 of the 3687 patients (7.9%) assigned to placebo (14.0 events per 100 patient-years) (hazard ratio with apixaban, 0.95; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.80 to 1.11; P=0.51). The primary safety outcome of major bleeding according to the Thrombolysis in Myocardial Infarction (TIMI) definition occurred in 46 of the 3673 patients (1.3%) who received at least one dose of apixaban (2.4 events per 100 patient-years) and in 18 of the 3642 patients (0.5%) who received at least one dose of placebo (0.9 events per 100 patient-years) (hazard ratio with apixaban, 2.59; 95% CI, 1.50 to 4.46; P=0.001). A greater number of intracranial and fatal bleeding events occurred with apixaban than with placebo.
The addition of apixaban, at a dose of 5 mg twice daily, to antiplatelet therapy in high-risk patients after an acute coronary syndrome increased the number of major bleeding events without a significant reduction in recurrent ischemic events.

Artist: Je Suis AnimalJe Suis Animal mix late 80's indie with a generous dose of 60's psychedelia, a spoonful of naive melody and a pinch of girly harmonies into their magic potion. The result is magical, striking and uncannily beautiful.
Having met at art school in the UK, the band settled in Oslo, Norway in 2004 and began forging a sound inspired by their love for dreamy melodic pop and all the best bits of their art degree.
Their debut album Self-Taught Magic From a Book was recorded on a trip to an old community hall, deep within the remote woodlands of Norway. Besieged by hungry bears and curious locals, they recorded the album themselves over 7 days, going without sleep, and living on nothing but tea and gingerbread men. The album rolls effortlessly from bouncy and jangly to dreamy and hypnotic, to haunting and sparse. Interwoven is a particular kind of lyrical storytelling; tales of unsolved murder mysteries, snowflake collecting, magic spells, and the joys of sharing milkshakes.

JWC TO MARGARET A. CARLYLE; 18 September 1832; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18320918-JWC-MAC-01; CL 6:230-231.
[18? September 1832]
Tell James of Scotsbrig that I have not forgotten the various slights he put upon me the day I was in Dumfries. first leaving the Inn without the smallest attempt at seeing me, secondly refusing my eloquent entreaties to take me home and lastly walking off without a civil good day— Nevertheless I will try to forgive him if he come up from the Fair. I am not fond of fairs or I believe the prospect of seeing a fine show of cro[c]kery and indulging my taste in the purchase of at least a twopenny bowl would take me also to Dumfries on Wednesday.
Behold the produce of my dairy paid "into my hand a clinking," but which for greater convenience is here converted into a real banknote. As I have never got good of my own salt-butter, I thought it best this year to sell what I could, and buy such as might be depended on. The begging system being not to my mind.— I send this money per advance to show the rectitude of my intentions and will remit the surplus when I have concluded my sales. Will you be so kind then as put me up 'with your own hand' some forty pounds in three different pigs1—for reasons best known to myself. If you have pigs—there are three here I can send in return—if not buy them for me. There never was butter so bepraised and deservedly so as the last, the only redeeming feature of our London breakfasts. The next it is probable will be eaten in part at Edinr—Carlyle is going mad for speech—and proposes making a descent on the capital about the beginning of winter and filling it with a whole deluge of articulate sound. I mean to look about me for a parrot while there, that he may not be so ill off in time coming— And now good night—and God keep you all— My affectionate regards are with the whole household now and always—
Yours most sincerely /
Jane W Carlyle
Dear Mother, I am now busy as may be, with the pen; and hope to be done certainly in some three weeks, and will then rush off to see you; and the wheels of the Clatch will again be heard at Scotsbrig. I have had a long weary spell, but it has not hurt me, and then I shall have a rest!— Here is a thin letter from Jack; however, he is well; I wrote him one four times as long, which he may about this time be reading.— Take care of yourself, my dear Mother; that I may find you well. My Blessing with you all! God keep you all!——— Ever your affectionate Son,
T. Carlyle—
Tuesday Night (the Task being done).

I Can't Understand My ADHD Husband!
"When I sit down to talk with my ADHD spouse, he jumps from one topic to another, and I can't follow him. When I ask him to explain what he means, he hits the roof. What can I do?"
First, have a conversation with your attention deficit husband, and go with the flow of his thoughts. Try to follow the drift of his words without worrying about point-by-point specifics. After he's done, repeat what you think he said. Say, "So you're saying X." If you misunderstand, he'll correct you without feeling that you're attacking him.
Second, point out to your spouse that people without ADHD think more linearly than those who have it. These differences lead to misunderstandings between the two of you. Remind him that your questions are meant to clarify what he said, and that you are not criticizing him. Or, if you find this difficult to discuss with him, write a short letter explaining why it's important that you and he respect each other's ways of processing information. Your goal is to defuse his anger by helping him understand that the communication breakdown is due to the fact that his ADHD brain is wired differently from your brain. I'm sure that this approach will result in more productive talks.

*Final second-round results are available in the links box to the right.
AUBURN, Wash. – Chasing its eighth NCAA bid in school history, the No. 34 University of Oregon women's golf team capped second-day action in the NCAA West Regional tied for eighth place – three places better than its pre-tourney seeding.
UO (302-301-603) shot a 13-over score of 301 Friday – one stroke better than its opening score Thursday – in its attempt to finish top eight after Saturday's finale and advance to the NCAA Championships.
Overall on the team leaderboard, No. 1 USC (288-284-572) led the 24-team field by seven strokes. No. 13 Tennessee moved up a place into second place (292-287-579), and the top five was rounded out by No. 6 Virginia (third, 290-301-591), No. 23 UC Davis (fourth, 300-292-592) and No. 7 Arizona (fifth, 303-293-596).
No. 38 Washington (sixth, 304-294-598) and No. 36 South Carolina (seventh, 303-299-602) passed UO Friday, and Oregon was tied for eighth place with No. 27 Texas A&M (301-302-603).
The Ducks were led Friday by senior Erica Omlid (27th-tie, 76-73-149) who carded the team's best round of the tourney so far, and was tied in the overall standings with senior Kendra Little (27th-tie, 75-74-149).
Junior Ashley Edwards followed in a tie for 34th place (74-76-150), and was followed by sophomore Cheyenne Hickle (89th-tie, 81-78-159) and freshman Raphaela Dyer (105th-t, 77-85-162).
Omlid led UO for the sixth time this season and 11th time in career, and her one-over 73 tied her sixth-best score among her 23 rounds in 2010-11.
The Springfield, Ore., native Omlid turned in two birdies Friday on the par-5 fourth and par-3 eighth holes, added par scores on 14 holes, and also ended with one bogey and one double-bogey.
Hickle and Little also scored birdies on the par-3 fifth and par-4 12th holes, respectively.
Overall in the individual standings, Tennessee's Erica Popson (68-69-137) added two strokes to her lead. USC's Lizette Salas (73-67-140) stood second after she posted Friday's second-best round and improved seven places in the process.
Looking ahead, UO returns for third and final-round action on Saturday, May 7 at the Washington National Golf Course. Players will start teeing off the par-72, 6,321-yard course on holes 1 and 10 each day at 8 am. (with the last tee time at 2:10 p.m.).

NORMAL, Ill. – The UIC women's gymnastics team defeated Midwest Independent Conference rival Illinois State, 194.050-192.450, inside the Horton Field House Sunday in Normal, Ill. Senior Chantel Turk captured the all-around title with a 39.125.
"We had a really good day," co-head coach Peter Jansson said. "There were several outstanding performances, including some very good performances on beam and vault. Alyssa [Cruz] stepped up big on three events today, which was a first for her. Overall, it was a very solid meet."
Turk was the only competitor who posted an all-around score over 39. In addition to her first-place finish in the all-around, she also claimed the top spot on the floor with a 9.850.
There was a three-way tie for second place on the vault. Catherine Dion, Citlali Cuevas and Turk posted a 9.775 to lead the Flames. Turk also led UIC on the bars with a 9.750 score. Erin Duggan and Alyssa Cruz tied for first place along with Illinois State's Samantha King on the balance beam with a 9.775.
The Flames return to action Saturday as UIC plays host to the Illinois versus Michigan Meet inside the Physical Education Building beginning at 5:00 p.m. The meet features Illinois State, Central Michigan and Eastern Michigan.

Bantam + Biddy Restaurant Review: Atlanta chefs Shaun Doty and Lance Gummere feature pastured and all-natural poultry, seasonal organic vegetables and regional fare at their Bantam + Biddy restaurants. Chicken and waffles highlights tender, juicy fried chicken and cheddar waffles, though the cheese is totally lost. Poached eggs are skillfully rendered; the eggs come from JB, a metro-area producer, and have a distinctively eggy flavor. Super-flaky cheddar biscuits are crisp on top and come apart in layers. Grass-fed beef crafts the meatloaf, a thick chunk, but we think it needs to be cooked less so it's a bit moister. Schnitzel is a tender, breaded thin slice of pork anointed with a soft fried egg, a classic. The 10-and-under "little cluckers" menu offers chicken penne, rotisserie-chicken quesadillas and more. Pies, rice pudding and cookies may round out the meal. A few decent wines, beers (including brews on draught) and house-made cocktails comprise the quaffs. Gluten-free and vegetarian dishes are available. Also located at 1050 Crescent Ave. NE, 404-835-6450.
