What makes Boulder so special?
By Scott Franklund
Colorado's Front Range, which encompasses both the Boulder and Denver real estate markets, is a hotbed of opportunity for a multitude of reasons. The area averages 300 days of sunshine per year, second only to Miami. But that's just the beginning.
Kiplinger's Personal Finance magazine recently ranked Boulder, Colorado, No. 4 on its list of "10 best cities for the next decade." Why? Because this thriving community is more than a town. It's an experience. From the jagged rock formations known as the Flatirons that rise dramatically from Boulder's western foothills to the Spanish-tile roofs crowning the timeless architecture of the University of Colorado campus, Boulder is a community that has masterfully merged natural beauty with institutional tradition, artistic expression and a zest for innovation.
Boulder's physical splendor makes it a playground for cyclists, hikers, climbers and runners of every ability level. It was recently named the third best bike city in America by Bicycling magazine and last year was ranked fourth best running city by Runner's World magazine.
As a college town, Boulder boasts a highly academic population that helps feed the entrepreneurial spirit that largely defines much of the area's business environment. Boulder is home to more than 6,600 small businesses and corporations and the city was just named America's best city for tech start-ups in a Bloomberg Businessweek report. Boulder is a unique market because its inherently appealing characteristics— recreation, fine dining, the arts, business, technology, academics, family life and many more — make it highly desirable to so many walks of life. But the common denominator is that people are happy in Boulder and it shows.
As a native, I have watched Boulder's superb quality of life earn the city countless top rankings on national "best of" lists. Consider these recent media accolades:
- Happiest and Healthiest City, Gallup-Healthways Well-Being Index
- Top 25 Destinations in the US, TripAdvisor
- Top Ten Best Places to Live in America, RelocateAmerica
- America's Smartest City, Forbes magazine
- West's 20 Best Small Towns, Sunset magazine, 2009
- Top Ten Best Midsize Metropolitan Areas, bizjournals.com
- America's Top Town to Live Well, Forbes.com
- Ten Top Wine Destinations, Food & Wine
- No. 1 City to Raise an Outdoor Kid, Backpacker magazine
- Best Cities for Gen Ys, BusinessWeek.com
- America's 'Greenest City' (multiple awards)
Adding to Boulder's allure is its close proximity to Colorado's state capital, Denver, which is just 35 minutes southeast of Boulder. Nicknamed the "Mile High City" (its altitude is 5,280 feet … one mile above sea level), Denver is a vibrant metropolis with the professional sports teams, major music venues, extensive park system, great restaurants, shopping districts, a thriving arts community, night life and the overall 'hip factor' expected of a major American city. And it's located just an hour from the world-class ski resorts that draw millions of snow-seeking tourists from around the globe.
Denver has become a major hub for business due to its equidistant location between the west and east coasts as well as easy access from Denver International Airport to Canada and Mexico. Like Boulder, Denver's diverse attributes and superior quality of life have helped it weather the economic storm better than many cities its size. In May 2009, Denver was featured on the Today Show/MSNBC as the No. 1 city in the nation where the housing market is most likely to recover, calling Denver "the perfect real estate success story." The rating was based on eight recovery potential characteristics: job growth, growing population, good weather, first-time buyers, no overbuilding, vital downtown, educated populations and foreclosures that occurred earlier in the recession time frame.

Diversity—it's present in everything that makes America great, and it should certainly be represented in the beer selection at a party for the most-watched sporting event of the year, the Super Bowl.
However, until this past Sunday, I'd never noticed the White House going out of its way to serve multiple beers from a cross section of small U.S. breweries. Cheers to the Obamas! By serving craft beer at the White House Super Bowl party, they have truly recognized, and by their actions legitimized, these historic beer times.
The beers served, which represented both teams, came from Hinterland Brewery of Green Bay, WI, and Yuengling in Pottsville, PA. There was even a special homebrew made for the occasion. Guests sampled White House Honey Ale, which was brewed with honey from the White House beehive.
East End Brewing Company of Pittsburgh, PA, also displayed a valiant effort to gain White House attention via a Facebook campaign: Send East End Beer to the White House, which gained more than 1,300 "likes" in just a few short weeks.
Many of us remember what was dubbed the 'beer summit'; however, the beer chosen for that meeting did not represent the majority of today's small brewers. What we've seen from this Super Bowl party, however, is an alignment and recognition that America's sudsy best often comes from down the street, or even from your own kitchen!
As reported in Obama Foodorama
Suds from Packer country were also on offer: The White House ordered three cases of craft beer from Hinterland Brewery of Green Bay, Wisconsin right after the NFC championship, the brewmasters announced this week. Pale Ale, Hinterland's signature beer; Amber Ale, which has a caramel flavor; and Luna Stout, which is bold, rich, and creamy, were quaffed. Pennsylvania was represented by Pottsville's Yuengling beer, according to a White House aide. It's made at the oldest brewery in America. Read Obama Foodorama's full coverage.
The Big Picture
Keep it up East End! It is because of you and other passionate breweries out there that craft beer is gaining an ever-increasing presence in the U.S. There is hope yet that our first Ale in Chief will continue to embrace the advancing beer culture of today. Remember, the U.S. is home to the most expansive beer marketplace in the world, with 13,000+ beer brands. America has become known for making some of the best beer in the world. It's good to see the White House shares this sentiment.

"You're probably shampooing every day, and that can strip away natural oils, so your scalp overproduces oil to make up for it," says Townsend. "Shampoo every other day instead, and follow with conditioner on just the middle to the ends of your hair. I'm also a firm believer in dry shampoo. It absorbs the oil that flattens the hair, so it takes care of greasiness and adds volume at the same time. I like Klorane Gentle Dry Shampoo with Oat Milk for blondes and Rene Furterer Naturia Dry Shampoo for brunettes. Aim the nozzle at the roots, holding it eight to ten inches away—too close makes the hair look white—and then brush the powder out after a few seconds. Finally, use a light leave-in conditioner, such as Dove Hair Therapy Nourishing Oil Care, on dry hair from the midshaft down—it will moisturize without compromising volume."

EATON TWP. — Sometimes it's about having the right combination. The Buckeye boys 4×800-meter relay team has that.
The Bucks cemented a spot to regionals by taking third Thursday at the Midview Division II District at Adelsberg Stadium.
With just two legs returning from last season's regional-qualifying unit, veterans Bob Auber and Ryan Gallagher and newcomers Sean Spence and Aidan Gallagher clocked 8:41.98 to advance to next week's Lexington Regional.
Holy Name won in 8:36.65, followed by Northwestern (8:41.49).
"We kind of set it up as a team effort," Auber said. "We had Spence go out, make a good lead for us, give it Aidan so he could maintain and pick up a few people, then give it to me to set it up for Ryan. Ryan just blew it out of the water.
"This was great. We see the result right here. We know we're moving on and our coach is having us peak right now."
While it was not the best time of the season — mainly because of the unseasonably cold temperatures — Ryan Gallagher noted the group is progressing but will need to improve to compete on the regional stage.
"It feels good," said Gallagher, a state-placing 3,200 runner. "As a team, we've developed a lot. We have two seniors, a junior and a freshman, so we have some stuff to build on.
"Our times haven't improved a lot, but we're doing better and hopefully next week we get a little better."
Buckeye junior Zach Davis finished 4 feet, 10 inches out of the fourth and final qualifying spot in the shot put after a toss of 120-5.
Donatius DeMarco recorded the highest individual finish for Black River, soaring 11-6 to place seventh in the pole vault. Jerrod Varney was ninth in the long jump (17-11).
In girls finals, the Pirates' Morgan Leach posted the top finish by taking ninth in the shot put (30-11½).
Buckeye All-Gazette sprinter Caleb Kupetz and honorable mention pick Tyler Yurik opted to not participate for personal reasons. Yurik was slated to compete in Thursday's pole vault final, while Kupetz would've competed in the 100 and 200 prelims.

Jason Miller just completed his third season as the top assistant on head coach Greg Cannella's lacrosse staff, where he works with the defense and face-off units at UMass. Prior to his arrival in Amherst, Miller spent three seasons at The United States Military Academy at West Point.
"Jason is a great part of our coaching staff," said Cannella. "He brings a lot of experience and knowledge and has learned from some of the great people in the game. He coached under Guy Van Arsdale, who coached me at UMass, and Jack Emmer, who holds the career victories record, and he helped get both of them to the NCAA Tournament. We hope he can help us continue the success we have had recently, and we are confident in his ability to lead the defense, goalies and the recruiting efforts."
In 2006, Miller coached UMass' defense as the Minutemen reached the NCAA Championship game for the first time in school history. It also marked the first time school from New England reached the National Championship game.
Miller coordinated the defense that held one of the nation's most powerful offenses -- Maryland -- to just five goals in the NCAA Semifinals allowing the Minutemen to advance to the final where they played No. 1 Virginia. UMass' defense held three of the Terrapins' top scorers without a point including National Attackman of the Year Joe Walters.
Miller coached two All-Americans in 2006 including first-teammer Jack Reid, who was a finalist for the Schmeisser Award as the nation's top defenseman. The hard-hitting Reid was a first-round draft pick in the Major League Lacrosse Draft in June 2006.
Jake Deane was also named an Honorable Mention All-American in 2006, as he doubled as a face-off man and long-stick defensive midfielder.
Miller worked to build UMass' defense into one of the nation's best, allowing just over eight goals per game. Miller cultivated three sophomore defensemen (Sean Krygier, David Von Voight and Brian Danvers) who rotated in the starting line-ups throughout the season in helping to secure a stingy defense in front of freshman sensation Doc Schneider.
In his two seasons at UMass, Miller has helped the defense to national rankings while coaching two-time All-American close defenseman Jack Reid. In 2005's run to the NCAA Quarterfinals, UMass' defense allowed just 8.81 goals per game led by Reid, Matt Garcia and Aaron Paskalis. Miller has also aided the emergence of defensive midfielders Jake Deane and Dan Whipple.
While at Army, Miller helped lead the Black Knights to a 24-20 mark in three seasons. Army captured two Patriot League titles, and advanced to the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 1997 during Miller's tenure. Miller served under long-time Army head coach Jack Emmer, who eclipsed the 300-win mark in 2003 to become the sport's all-time wins leader.
Prior to his time at West Point, Miller spent one season as an assistant coach at the Rochester Insitute of Technology, under former UMass assistant coach Guy Van Arsdale. Miller helped the Tigers advance to the 2000 NCAA Division III Tournament, before falling in the quarterfinals to eventual national champion, Middlebury.
From 1997-99, Miller served as a graduate assistant coach at Springfield (Mass.) College, while completing his master's degree in athletic administration. Springfield captured the ECAC Division III championship in 1998. He also coached the running backs on Springfield's football team in 1999, helping the Pride reach the NCAA Playoffs for the first time ever. In 2004, Miller and former assistant coach Chris Gabrielli founded the Mid-Summer Classic, a high school lacrosse tournament held at UMass.
A native of Rochester, N.Y., Miller began his college coaching career at Franklin and Marshall College in Lancaster, Pa. Prior to that term, Miller spent one season coaching varsity lacrosse and junior varsity football at St. Edwards Upper School in Vero Beach, Fla.
Miller is a 1993 graduate of Springfield College, earning a bachelor's degree in sport management, while playing defense for the Pride lacrosse team. Miller, and his wife, Mary, reside in Springfield. The couple welcomed their first child, a son Liam on August 6, 2005.

Chinese beards have just made a watchdog list of other potential terrorist giveaways. Listen up members of ZZ Top – you may want to rethink an Asian tour. Excessively long beards are being scrutinized in China these days, and the so-called suspicious act of growing out a beard has been lumped in with other offenses like "separatism preaching," "training for terror attacks" and provoking "conflicts between religious sects."
According to UPI on Friday, clean-shaven citizens can profit by remaining vigilant for bushy beards. Beard-blowing scandalmongers who tattle on their neighbors can pocket an equivalent of up to $8,000. Officials in the western China region of Xinjiang are prepared to offer the reward to whistle blowers for information about "a wide range of intelligence from those wearing beards to spreading information to topple the authorities." UPI reports that the Chinese government is collecting the information "in order to prevent and combat crimes and maintain social stability."
The "spot beard – get paid" citizen alert initiative is dangling potential incentives of 50 yuan to up to 50,000 yuan ($8 dollars to $8,000) to snitching citizens. The disapproval of facial hair is evidently linked to potential Muslim extremism, says the Wall Street Journal. Chinese Muslims in the region are increasingly discouraged from "wearing overly bushy beards or—in the case of women—covering their hair with scarves," says the Journal.
However, since many Muslims wear beards as an indication of their faith, many are calling this new "unwritten" beard ban an attack that reeks of racial profiling. In the ethnically volatile Xinjiang area, the extremist Uighur Muslim minority group has been blamed for recent terrorist attacks, putting officials on alert. Last October, a car driven by three Uighur members into Beijing's Tienanmen Square killed two tourists. More recently, a stabbing spree in March in the southwestern city of Kunming, Xinjiang, carried out by Uighur radicals, left 30 dead.
Reports the Inquisitr:
However, the opposition and rights groups say authorities are greatly exaggerating the threat to justify the ulterior agenda of establishing stricter control and regulation on Uighurs. The rights group strongly believes that religious and cultural restrictions may soon start being enforced once identification begins.
China has blamed the increased violence on "separatists with ties to foreign terrorist groups, while rights groups say authorities exaggerate the threat to justify religious and cultural restrictions on Uighurs," says the Herald Live. The anti-beard campaign asks that individuals report long beards to a tip line.
"This is common practice in the international community. It is therefore natural for Xinjiang to release such a notice and I believe it will play an effective role in combating terrorism as well as maintaining social stability," Turgunjan Tursun, a research fellow at the Xinjiang Academy of Social Sciences, told the Global Times.
Despite what seems like an obvious push for racial profiling, the Chinese government denies any ethnic transgressions and maintains that the rights of all minorities are protected, including their expressions of faith. "There is no such thing as a ban on public displays of Islamic practice in Xinjiang or anywhere else in the country," the government's English-language mouthpiece China Daily said in a commentary last year. "Freedom of religious beliefs and practices are respected and protected throughout the country."
Give us your thoughts on this obtuse beard-ban and reward program. An effective way to keep an eye peeled for terrorists? Or a blinkered blunder of bigotry? Sound off below.

Insurers are Starting to Pay for Cross-Border Treatment
In the New Republic, Adam Teicholz and Glenn Cohen discuss insurers whose provider networks run across the border:
Before dawn on a Wednesday in January, Cesar Flores, a 40-year-old employed by a large retail chain, woke up at his home in Chula Vista, California. He got in his car and crossed the border into Tijuana. From there, he headed for a local hospital, where he got lab tests — part of routine follow-up to a kidney stone procedure. He had his blood drawn and left the hospital at 7:30. He arrived home before 10.
But Flores's situation isn't medical tourism as we know it. Flores has insurance through his wife's employer. But his insurer, a small, three-year-old startup H.M.O. called MediExcel, requires Flores to obtain certain medical treatment at a hospital across the border. In part due to cost-pressures generated by the Affordable Care Act, other sorts of plans that require travel have the potential to expand.

Students in the Microbiology Graduate Theme have the opportunity to specialize in Bacteriology or Virology via defined tracks within the Program. Students interested in other microbes or areas of research will be assisted in the formulation of their specific programs through the selection of specific courses, journal clubs, seminars, and research training.
First year - Courses, Lab Rotations, Selection of Mentor
Courses. First year students in all Graduate Biomedical Sciences Themes take a common 13-week core curriculum emphasizing the fundamentals of biochemistry, genetics, and cell biology. Students in the Microbiology Theme will continue their first year coursework with classes in Prokaryotic Genetics, Virology, Immunology and more specialized courses focusing on their area of interest. A passing grade of B or better is required in all courses. Students who fail a course (i.e., make less than a B) must retake and pass the relevant course in the subsequent year. Students who fail more than two courses during the first year are subject to dismissal from the program.
Laboratory Rotations. During the first year, students participate in three laboratory rotations of their choosing. Lab rotations allow the student to identify specific research areas and mentors with whom they will ultimately perform their graduate research project. At the end of the first year, students select the mentor with whom they will complete their studies.
Second year and beyond - Qualifying examination, courses, journal clubs, research, completion of degree.
Qualifying examination. During the fall of the second year, students must pass a Qualifying Examination that assesses their general knowledge, ability to read the literature, and ability to formulate and defend testable hypotheses. The examination involves a written proposal and oral defense of the proposal.
Journal Clubs. From the second year until completion of the program, students participate in a Journal Club related to their specific area of interest. The purpose of the journal club is to enhance the ability to critically read the literature and to stay abreast of current findings in the field. A wide variety of Journal Clubs are available, many of which can be found here.
Advanced courses. Three advanced courses in areas relevant to the student's area of interest are required and may be completed anytime from the second year on. Students are encouraged to take these courses as early as possible in order to achieve the most benefit in their training. Some of the recently offered courses can be found here.
Dissertation research. After completion of the Qualifying Examination, and no later than the third year, the student forms a dissertation committee comprised of five faculty members (including the mentor) whose expertise will be beneficial in helping direct the research and course of study.
Awarding of the Ph.D. degree. The Ph.D. is awarded upon successful completion of the academic requirements and defense of the dissertation. The dissertation consists of a written document that is expected to include published papers or manuscripts in preparation, along with a scholarly introduction and discussion of the work that has been completed. An oral presentation and public defense of the dissertation is the final step toward completion of the degree.

This weekend I made a little needle notebook. Now I have a cute way to store all my hand sewing needles and I just love it!
This project all started with a problem:
I had a whole bunch of these all over the place. Most of the packages were half broken and not holding the needles very well anymore. I was finding needles all over the place and was getting a little tired of it. My solution was a cute needle notebook.
For this project you'll need:
2 different coordinating fabrics (We don't need big pieces so if you have some scraps lying around that should work just fine.)
18″ of coordinating Ric-Rac
1 color coordinating felt (I used some nice soft bamboo felt from CityCraft. If you've never felt bamboo felt you're in for a treat!)
1 sheet of white felt (these will be cut into our "pages")
3″ leather lace or ribbon and one coordinating button
Step 1: Cut out all your pieces.
Cut 2: 8 1/2″ x 2″ strips of fabric (These will be your outer band fabric.)
Cut 1: 8 1/2″ x 2 1/2″ strip of fabric (This will be your center band fabric.)
Cut 2: 9″ pieces of ric-rac
Cut 1: 5″ x 8 1/2″ piece of coordinating felt (This will be for the inside of your book.)
Cut 2: 4″ x 7″ pieces of white felt (These will be our pages to store the needles on.)
Cut 1: 3″ piece of leather lace or coordinating ribbon (This is for your button loop.)
**Use 1/4″ seams for this project unless otherwise noted.
Step 2: Attach Ric Rac
Line up one ric rac piece on the edge of one outer band fabric piece. Using a scant 1/4″ basting stitch, baste in place. Repeat for other ric rac piece and outer band fabric.
Step 3: Piece together Outside
Using a 3/8″ seam, stitch center band to outer band piece where ric rac is attached.
Sew other outer band piece to remaining side of center piece.
Lay flat with right sides up and press.
Step 4: Complete Outside of Book
Lay the coordinating felt piece down and place your outer piece, right side down on top of your felt piece. Pin around the edges, making sure to double pin a space to remind you to leave an opening. Mine is about 3″ along the bottom edge. (Don't forget to add your looped leather lace piece to one side at this step like I forgot to do!)
Stitch around the edge 1/4″ being sure to leave your opening. Trim your corners when you're done stitching.
Turn right sides out, poke out corners, and topstitch around the edge 1/8″ to keep it flat and close the hole you left open.
Sew on the button about 1″ from the edge of the front of your book. (If you forgot like me to add in the loop when you stitched around the piece for the first time you can add the leather lace now to the back inside of your book.)
Step 5: Sew your pages in.
With a disappearing ink pen mark lines down the center of the inside of your book,
and the center of your white felt pages.
Place the pages in the book, lining up the lines so they are centered. Pin in place. (Notice how my top page is slightly higher than my other page? Be sure you pin it like this as the felt will shift slightly when sewing down the center. If you shift if up and starting 1/8″ up, it will line up when you sew it.)
See how it lines up nicely now?
Now add your needles and you're ready to go!
Happy Crafting!
If you make one I'd love to see it! You can drop it in the Flickr Group or Post it on the Facebook Page!

Work does not stop for everyone, even when the temperature begins to dip lower and lower as winter sets in. Though the slight chill of autumn is replaced with bitter cold wind, ice and snow; many people still need to work and for those working outdoors it is essential to protect your hands from the elements and harsh cold of the winter air. Even if you typically do not work outdoors during winter months, you may be faced with a situation that arises and needs fixed, regardless of what the thermometer says the temperature is outside.
Winter work gloves can help keep your hands warm and protect your fingers against the cold. If you work with pipes, cable or even wire while outdoors in the cold, wearing a good, quality pair of winter work gloves with winter liners for added comfort and warmth, will help you ward of a bone chilling ache which can quickly develop when working with your hands outdoors in the winter either from getting hands wet or simply being exposed to cold air.
Just as essential to safety, comfort and convenience is a sturdy, rugged and well insulated pair of winter work boots. You feet, not unlike your hands, take the brunt of the action while working outdoors. You feet need to stay dry and warm so that you can get your job done without having to break often to go warm up. Winter work boots with winter liners offers you protection from the cold, hard ground.
When you combine the right boots and gloves with layers of insulated and warm clothing, you will be able to withstand some of the coldest temperatures outside while getting your work done. Staying warm is only part of the issue, as properly protected fingers and toes are less likely to suffer ill effects of winter such as frostbite or the general aches and pains cold temperatures bring about. For those with arthritis or other joint issues negatively impacted by cold weather, winter gloves and boots can also be worn during off work hours to protect your hands and feet from the cold at all times.
There are different types of cold weather gloves so you have to know about the factors to consider before purchasing them.
The first factor is the actual temperature that you will be enduring through the long winter months. Many areas get cold, but there is a difference between the cold weather up north and many may consider cold in a place like Georgia.
Next factor you have to consider is what the person purchasing the gloves will be using them for. You may have a person that just needs a pair going to and from stores and does not want their hands to get cold. You may also have a person that will be working outside in the cold weather and needs the winter work gloves to keep them warm throughout the work day.
The final factor that plays in the choice process of choosing the best gloves for you is dealing with material.
If you just need gloves for simple tasks as driving, walking through the neighborhood, or just shopping, then you would want purchase gloves made up of soft leather or vinyl. These gloves will be perfect because it has an elegant look while keeping your hands warm. If you are looking to wear the winter work gloves for work, then you definitely need a harder thicker material to use like hard leather. This will keep out the cold air from trying to find its way in.
No matter what purpose you need cold weather gloves for, they definitely will succeed and solving any issues you have with your hands getting severely cold throughout the cold winter. If you are one who does several activities, and need gloves for all the reasons mentioned above, know then that it's not unusual for people to own several pairs. Just get the one or ones that is best for you. Doing this is preventing your hands from ever having to experience the cold.

Miami is no stranger to electronic music. Many South Beach nightclubs have hosted concerts by artists such Deadmau5, along with the Magic City becoming the site for one of the biggest electronic music concerts of the year: the Ultra Music Festival. The music showcased in "Europe in 8 Bits" is a different breed of electronic music compared to what you would hear at Ultra. The artists profiled in "Europe in 8 Bits" used a different and unique musical tools in order to create what is called chip music. Abandoned and discarded, outdated 1980s videogame systems like the original Nintendo gaming system and the GameBoy find a second life as musical instrument for chip musicians such as Kenobi and Mat64. Director Javier Polo explores the world of chip music, which was described as "Super Mario on Acid" when one of the chip musicians heard for the first time. This innovative musical genre first became popular in Europe before influencing other chip musical artists around the world from Japan, Ireland and the United States. Polo's documentary is a wonderful sight to see on the silver screen as he explores the history of chip music by using cool animation and screen transitions. "Europe in 8 Bits" is an eye and ear-opener for people who might not be a fan of electronic music and for gamers who thoroughly enjoy the sound of 8-bit music.
Plays tonight at 9:10 p.m. at Regal South Beach Cinemas and Friday at 9:15 p.m. at Paragon Grove 13.

JWC TO JANET CARLYLE HANNING; 29 April 1851; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18510429-JWC-JCHA-01; CL 26: 77
5 Cheyne Row / Tuesday [29 April 1851]—
My dear Jenny
I sent off yesterday, by Railway, to Jane's care, a bundle of things which I hope may be of some use to you in your preparations for departure— They are not much worth as they are; but you have a great talent—at least you had when I knew you—for making silk purses out of sows ears—a very valuable talent in this world—
For the rest; what can I say to you but that I wish you good speed in your great adventure and that it may turn out even better for you than you hope!— Decidedly it is an adventure in which you ought to be let please yourself—to be let follow the guidance of your own heart without remonstrance or criticism of others— It is my fixed opinion that between man and wife no third person can judge—and that all any of us could reasonably require of you, is that you should consider well what you are about to do and that you should do nothing from secondary motives. If it be affection for your husband, and the idea of doing your duty by him that takes you from your family and friends, so far away—then go in Gods name, and may your Husband prove himself worthy of so much constancy. In any case you will have no cause for self reproach— But if it be impatience of your position here that is driving you away—from your kind old Mother and all the rest who love you so well—then God help you my poor Jenny for you are flinging away all the real blessings of your lot for an imagination of independence—
I hope however you are quite justified by your feelings towards your Husband in leaving all to follow him— You have always seemed to me to cherish a most loyal affection for your Husband, and I will never believe, however appearances may be against him, that a man can inspire such an affection in the Wife he has lived years beside, and yet be wholly unworthy of it, So farewell dear Jenny and God go with you affectionately yours
Jane Carlyle

The most famous painting in the world is for sale.
Russian artist Vladimir Tretchikoff's original painting of the "Chinese Girl" will go under the hammer in London on March 20.
The BBC reported the portrait of a young Chinese girl, believed to be the most reproduced print in the world, could fetch up to 500,000 pounds, or nearly $800,000.
Tretchikoff painted the portrait, also known as the "Green Lady" because of the girl's distinctive blue-green skin tone, in Cape Town in 1952, according to the Press Association.
The model was Monika Sing-Lee. Tretchikoff spotted the then 17-year-old working in her uncle's launderette in the South African city, where the artist lived.
According to the Cape Argus, an American woman bought the painting directly from Tretchikoff in the 1950s and it has remained in her family ever since. The picture is being sold by the woman's granddaughter.
Tretchikoff, who died in 2006, claimed he had sold 500,000 large-format reproductions of the print worldwide.

My understanding about Codd's concept of "safe queries" was created to ensure that a query would always terminate. One key ability of a Turing machine is that it can work on infinite calculations (and thus isn't guaranteed to terminate). If the safe query restriction were removed, would relational calculus be Turing-complete since that means it doesn't have to terminate?

This question came from our site for professional and enthusiast programmers.
I don't know if this is correct, but I have a hypothesis. If we allowed free variables in the formula, then we could think of queries as functions. For example, consider the following query:
If the above query has a result M, we can consider that to be a function of the form
Therefore, I think that relational calculus can also be a lambda calculus, and therefore be Turing-complete. Can anyone tell me if I'm on the right path?

Kim Zolciak gave birth to her 5th and 6th children, twins Kane and Kaia, in November but didn't share pictures of them with the world until January 2nd, when she shared photos of the twins on Instagram. Most celebrities save the first images of their babies for lucrative magazine spreads and although Kane and Kaia will be making their tabloid debut in this week's In Touch Weekly, but Kim gave the first peak of the twins to her fans on Instagram.
First, she posted an up close picture of her girl, Kaia Rose, smiling with her eyes closed and a cute knit cap on. Then she shared a picture of Kane receiving a kiss on his forehead from his older brother, KJ, age 2. Kaia and Kane are Kim's 5th and 6th children and 3rd and 4th with husband, Kroy Biermann. Kim and Kroy have had four children in a little over two years after getting pregnant with the twins four months after giving birth to her second son with Kash Kade, 17 months.
However, the former The Real Housewives of Atlanta star, age 35, is adamant that she is done having children. Do you think she and Kroy are done or is a 7th Zolciak-Biermann in our future?

Here's the much awaited, much overdue breakdown of Kareena Kapoor at the Film Fare Awards this year. Thanks Mira and everyone else for helping me find the pics. I have a limited number of brain cells and even they seem to be dying.
This look calls for a dewy look and a medium coverage foundation. Cover up any under-eye circles or blemishes with a creamy concealor that matches your skin tone. I really like the look of foundation mixed with Strobe Cream (substitute with your favourite highlighter) to give a soft, halo-like glow. Set with a translucent powder.
Recommendation: MAC Strobe Cream, NYC Translucent Powder
To prime eyes for the shadow, apply an antique gold long lasting cream shadow on the lid. Blend outwards from the crease but do not extend out too much.
Recommendation: MAC Indianwood Paint Pot
The brows for this look are natural and thick while being very groomed. Tweeze away any stray hairs but be sure to leave eyebrows as thick as possible while following the natural shape of your brows. Set brows with a brow gel.
Recommendation: Ardell Brow & Lash Growth Accelerator
Apply a shimmery light yellow gold shadow on the lids.
Recommendation: MAC Gorgeous Gold
Apply a deeper, golden peachy brown shadow in the crease and blend into the lid and slightly outwards.
Recommendation: MAC Amber Lights
Apply a very light, shimmery champagne shadow on the browbone and blend into the crease.
Recommendation: MAC Ricepaper
With a very deep black kohl pencil, rim the entire top and bottom lash line. Keep the liner thin to medium in thickness. Smudge the liner slightly with a q-tip or a pencil brush such as the MAC 219 brush.
Recommendation: Revlon Colorstay Pencil Liner
Curl lashes and apply a volumizing mascara. Comb out any clumps with a lash comb.
Recommendation: L'Oreal Voluminous, Lancome Fatale
Apply a plummy bronzer on the apple of your cheeks and follow through to the temples. Apply a very little bit on the bridge of your nose, forehead, chin, etc. Be sure to keep it very light because I tend to look muddy if I overdo it.
Recommendation: Benefit Dallas
Apply a cinnamon pink lip liner and top it off with a sheer pinky caramel brown lipstick.
Recommendation: MAC Spice lip liner, MAC Honey Flower

Hi Anu,8:24 AM
Your blog is wonderful. Its my go-to place for makeup advice :)
I have a question not really related to the post.
How do Desi girls wear bright colors of eye shadows like MAC Chrome yellow or blues like MAC ELectric Eel? The MAC website says that these 2 shades are usually bought together. Can you give some suggestions on when and how to wear such bright color combinations? It would be great if you could do a tutorial!
- Anu said...
hey worship elle,
benefit dallas looks great if used carefully. just a caution.
hey aarthi,
you can absolutely wear those two colours together. for everyday though I always blend in other colours to tone it down. i will definitely do a tutorial on brights soon.

Iowa personal injury lawyer explains the legal elements of a dog bite case
In my experience as an San Diego dog bite attorney, the physical injuries – scratches, bruises, infection, nerve damage, scarring – that may occur in connection with a dog bite almost always are accompanied by psychological and emotional injuries. Often these "unseen" injuries linger long after the physical injuries have healed. If you or a loved one has been injured by a dog, you may be entitled to compensation under Iowa law.
The Iowa dog bite statute provides broad legal protection to persons injured by a dog. A dog owner is liable (i.e., is held legally responsible) for all damage that results from the dog "attacking or attempting to bite" a person. This means the owner is liable not just for a dog bite, but for any injuries related to an attack. Thus, if a dog chases a person into the street, and that person is hit by a car, the dog owner may be held liable for those injuries. The statute also provides that the owner is liable for damage done by the dog to a domestic animal when the dog is caught in the act of "worrying, maiming or killing" the animal.
The dog bite law is a "strict liability" statute. This means that in order to establish a claim against a dog owner under the law, the injured party must prove only that (1) the dog attacked or attempted to bite him; (2) he was injured; and (3) the defendant (the person being sued) is, in fact, the dog's owner. It is not necessary to prove that the dog was "dangerous" or that the owner knew or should have known the dog was dangerous. There is no "one free bite" rule in Iowa.
There are, however, two exceptions to the strict liability rule. A dog owner is liable for the dog's behavior except when the person injured was engaged in an unlawful act (e.g., trespassing; breaking and entering) that contributed to the injury. In addition, the dog bite law does not apply to dogs that have rabies, unless the owner reasonably should have known that the dog was sick and, by reasonable efforts, could have prevented the injury.
Common law liability (judge-made law)
Only the "owner" of a dog may be held strictly liable under the dog bite statute. However, a person in possession of a dog or keeping a dog may be held responsible for injuries inflicted by the dog if "the injuries are the result of known vicious tendencies or properties." Thus, under this theory of liability, a dog walker or sitter, or a person keeping a dog on his property could be held responsible for a dog bite or other injuries if he or she knew the dog had dangerous tendencies.
Liability for negligence
A dog owner, possessor or keeper may be liable for a dog bite or other related injuries under a theory of negligence, if the victim can establish the required elements of a negligence claim: (1) the defendant had a duty to act with reasonable care under the circumstances; (2) the defendant breached that duty; (3) the breach of duty caused the victim to be injured or harmed; and (4) the victim was, in fact, damaged.
Contact Iowa personal injury lawyer to talk about your dog bite case
If you were bitten or injured by a dog, you may be entitled to compensation for your medical expenses, lost wages (past and future); physical and emotional pain and suffering; and damage to your relationship with your child or spouse. I have been helping dog bite victims for more than ten years. I would be happy to review your case, free of charge, and explain your legal options. If you would like to talk with an experienced Manchester injury lawyer, please tell me about your situation using the Free Case Evaluation form on this page, or email me directly.

Last night's episode of "Revenge" left viewers shocked once again and they can't wait to see what next week will bring. Hollywood Hills reported on Jan. 6 new spoilers and a clip for the upcoming "Revenge" episode 12 titled "Endurance." At the end of episode 11 we saw Emily tell Jack she remembered that Daniel shot her. Does this mean her memory has returned or just pieces of it?
Spoilers say Emily Thorne will be struggling to come to terms with her new identity and that it has all left her mentally and physically broken. Emily's enemies are too close as she finds herself at Grayson manor under the control of Victoria. Victoria does not want Emily to remember it was her son who shot her.
In the preview viewers see Victoria looking inside Emily's double infinity box and reading one of the journals left to her by her father. What will Victoria do when she realizes who Emily Thorne really is? A spoiler reveals that a new revelation will change everything and ignite a new destruction path. Could this new knowledge be that revelation?
A new character was revealed in the "Homecoming" episode. Her name is Niko and she obviously has a past with Aiden Mathis. Her role will surely be revealed more next week also!
"Revenge" will have a few more episodes this month and then will take a break until March!
Don't miss the all new episode of "Revenge" on Jan. 12 at 8 P.M. CST on ABC.

The town of San Antonio was sleeping when we arrived. It looked like New Orleans after Mardi Gras, narrow streets and walkways littered with cups and debris. The heavy smell of stale beer and Spanish silence hung in post-fiesta air.
My new companion spoke Spanish, so it was his job to ask about housing. After being shown some very dodgy and expensive rooms, we found a small studio apartment with two beds and a narrow balcony overlooking the heart of downtown San Antonio for 2,000 pesetas each (12 U.S. dollars) per night.
The room turned out to be hot and noisy, but its location was invaluable as an instrument of amusement late at night when the drunken antics of the thousands of Brits abroad were at their height.
The town of San Antonio houses almost exclusively young British tourists during the summer months, with a few Scottish, Irish and Welsh vacationers thrown in the mix. The streets are filled with makeshift British pubs advertising cheap "English Breakfasts" (fried eggs, bacon, sausage, fried tomatoes and toast) and English "futbol" matches on TV (soccer for Americans).
At about two o'clock in the afternoon the public relations people for the various clubs (flyerers) begin their daily ritual of standing on crowded street corners or walking along beaches trying to persuade thousands of hung-over and sunburned tourists to patronize their club's night.
The flyerers are the hardest-worked and most underpaid people on the island. They are mostly clubbers from Great Britain who come over to Ibiza to party for a week or two and end-up wanting to stay the whole summer. READ MORE

Former New Orleans Saints safety Roman Harper has agreed to terms with the Carolina Panthers, according to ESPN.
Harper agreed to terms on a two-year, $4.5 million deal that includes a $1.5 million signing bonus, ESPN reported.
He was brought in for a visit on Thursday, according to the Charlotte Observer.
The Saints released Harper on Feb. 12, along with veterans Will Smith and Jabari Greer. They also released wide receiver Lance Moore last week.
Harper is the first of the group to find a new home in free agency.
The Panthers were in need of a starting safety after losing Mike Mitchell to the Pittsburgh Steelers in free agency. And Harper, 31, still envisions that role for himself, despite taking a backseat to rookie Kenny Vaccaro in 2013.
Harper started the first two games of the season for the Saints, missed seven games with a knee injury, and returned to a starting role after Vaccaro fractured his ankle in Week 17.
In his last interview session with local media after the season had ended, Harper said he felt like he's still starting caliber.
"I still play at a high level and and in my mind I'm always a starting safety in this league," Harper said. "Until somebody tells me I can't, then I won't. ...
"I left everything out there and I put some good stuff on tape. I'm proud of that. I'll continue to be proud of myself until I stop."

Branford Marsalis: Swingin' At The Haven
Swinging at the Haven
Branford Marsalis (tenor sax, soprano sax)
Royal Garden Blues (Columbia 40363)
Branford Marsalis (tenor sax, soprano sax), Ellis Marsalis (piano), Ron Carter (bass),
Ralph Peterson (drums).
Composed by Ellis Marsalis.
Recorded: New York City, July 2, 1986
Rating: 90/100 (learn more)
In 1986, when Branford Marsalis recorded Royal Garden Blues, his second album as leader, he had recently left his brother Wynton Marsalis' band to join Sting, a somewhat controversial association that broadened the saxophonist's exposure, if not his appeal, as one of the post-bop "young lions." Although he may not yet have achieved an identifiable, individual sound or style circa 1986, he was just as polished, discerning, and fully versed as Wynton in jazz history and the multitude of idiomatic possibilities it afforded for creative expansion.
Sounding like a cross between '50's John Coltrane and Sonny Rollins, Branford's tenor assuredly navigates the chord changes of his father's tune, "Swingin' at the Haven," with Ellis himself sitting in on piano. Branford varies his attack inventively, obviously unwilling just to coast along on autopilot. He challenges himself to elaborate on fresh ideas and takes unpredictable twists and turns along the way. Ellis responds with a well-developed solo played with refined Tommy Flanagan-like touch and precision. Peterson is given a chance to display his formidable percussive skills before Branford takes the piece out swingingly. Branford has come a long way since this early effort, but "Swingin' At the Haven' remains a worthwhile listen.

While we would probably throw in the towel after guzzling down a single Irish Car Bomb, we're pretty sure we could eat at least three to four Irish Car Bomb Cupcakes ($48 per dozen). What can we say? Booze-laced sweets are our vice and these certainly take the cake (pun intended). The Guinness chocolate base is stuffed with a Jameson whiskey filling and topped with a Bailey's Irish Cream ganache to create one of the most indulgent cupcakes we've ever scarfed down.

I first met Lori Joyce while working at Boise Weekly. It was a long time after getting to know her that I found out that she was a filmmaker and that working at the Weekly was just her day job. She immediately became my heroine. Lori didn't go around shouting, "Hey, I'm a filmmaker." That made finding it out all the more special. All of Lori's film projects are stories that are close to her heart. Following her heart is nothing new for this documentary filmmaker http://www.idanha.org/. All her subjects spring from her strong beliefs and values including "Hearts and Minds: Teens and Mental Illness" the film for which she received the Peabody. Lori is now on the film festival circuit with her new film, "Arise," which documents the portraits of powerful women around the world who are coming together to heal the earth.
From her very first film to the making of "The Journey of Sacagawea," they've all been labors of love. At the time of this interview, the Emmy-nominated "The Journey of Sacagawea" is Lori's favorite of all her films. "Creatively they just get better. I also felt a connection to Sacagawea throughout the making of the documentary. She was 16 years old with a newborn baby and thirty-one men. That is amazing to me." Joyce also feels a strong connection to Native American spiritual beliefs with regard to revering Mother Earth. "Maybe it's because I have a little bit of Cherokee, but it was so interesting to be able to speak to the Hidatsa, the Shoshone and the Nez Perce."
Joyce started her career in the early '70s, in front of the camera in the modeling and fashion industry. This led to television in Dallas, covering the hippest and trendiest for an on-air entertainment magazine. However, she soon found her interest changing, and she followed her instincts. "What was going on in front of the camera was all so superficial and in the end unimportant," she recalls. She wanted to tell stories that would move people to make positive changes in their lives.
It was the '80s then and Joyce remembers that particular time as a moment of self-questioning and wondering what happened to the seemingly forgotten idealism of the '60s, when she and others were so captured by the passion of the peace movement. "It was something that happened to a lot of us," she says. "We asked, 'What are we doing?'" Luckily she didn't give up on her passion.
Joyce wasn't trained in a film school; she learned her craft by watching others in the edit bay and behind the camera. "It all just evolved. Sometimes I wonder how I got here. It's still amazing to me." She formed her non-profit company Idanha Films and began the work of her heart. Her 1985 documentary, The Arms Race Within, about the nuclear train that was crossing the country and the people trying to stop it, put her on the path of making two more documentaries about the subject of non-violence: The Healing of Brian Wilson" and In Remembrance of Martin. The first, the story of a man who was moved by seeing The Arms Race Within to become more involved in the peace movement and the latter a tribute to the epitome of non-violent protest in America, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
In the '90s, as Lori was watching her eldest daughter make life choices which resulted in her becoming a victim of domestic violence, Lori was stricken with the realization that she had gotten things backwards. Previously she had thought if there were peace in the world, then everything would be all right. The truth became evident to her, that if there were to be peace in the world, peace needed to be taught in our personal lives and our relationships. From this was born Shattered Lives, which documented the effects of domestic violence.
Getting down to the practical, Joyce finds fund raising - getting the money to make her vision come to life - the hardest part of the process. She's been trying to change her attitude about that. It's something that she doesn't always know how to talk about.
"When the money doesn't come when you need it and you can't shoot when you want to, you start to question your worthiness," she says. She still runs into people who don't know the difference between a documentary and a feature and who ask her for a script as a prerequisite for funding. Right now she is working on changing that perception and trying to remember that she's still here and still working. She feels lucky to have signed on with a producer's rep, who will work on getting the funding and distribution for the film she's making now, "Arise." Above all Lori Joyce just wants people to know that there are independent filmmakers in Idaho and that "We're good. If you give us the money, we will make a great product for you." Her dream scenario would be to find someone to fund her film up front.
In contrast to raising the money to make the film, Joyce's favorite part of the process is when it all comes together in the editing room. She likes going through all the footage and matching it to the on-screen words of the interviewees; she likes adding the music and writing the narrative script. "In a documentary it's backwards. You shoot the film, see what you have, and then you write the script." Asked if she has ever started working on a film and found out that it turned out to be completely different from what she thought it was going to be, she answers yes. "The one I'm working on now has had three different names. It started out as The Presence of The Goddess, then became The Shift, and is now out on the film festival circuit under its final name, Arise.
The theme of money resurfaces in asking about her least favorite of all her films, Shattered Lives. It's not because of the subject matter, but because she had to do everything on a shoestring to get it made. She was recycling tapes and everyone was working on deferred billing. "It was crazy. I was doing whatever it took to get it done. Domestic violence is a subject that no one wants to talk about, so no one was going to give me money to make a film about that. One thing about me, though, is if I start a film, I'm going to finish it."
Perseverance is the cornerstone of her advice to aspiring filmmakers. "If it's your passion, never give up. Keep going no matter what." Joyce also tells young filmmakers to connect with an experienced filmmaker who's been through all the ups and downs. She herself is working with a young woman who is trying to make a film about food her a donation of $50, which is not going to get a film made. But Lori reminded her to be grateful, because the $50 would buy ink for the printer or pay the electric bill. "Sure you need thousands of people giving you $50, or one person to give you $50,000, but you just have to keep going and believe in yourself and your project. It's all part of the creative process."
Sometimes the subject matter of the film she's making gives her inspiration and determination. Like this story from the making of Sacagawea: "We were shooting in Great Falls, MT and the location for the day's shoot was the museum there. It was a hot day and I wore a sundress and sandals with heels. During one of my conversations with the museum historian, I learned that the sulfur springs that they took Sacagawea to when she was sick with fever was located on a trail a few miles from town. We made the decision to get the shot and we were running out of the perfect evening light for filming. My photographer and co-producer took off running. I removed my shoes and followed the best I could in bare feet on a dirt trail. The mosquitoes were as thick as mentioned in the journals of Lewis and Clark. I was being bitten badly and at one point I told myself I could not go on. It was then that I realized that if Sacagawea could do this at 16, ill and with a baby, then surely I could do it too. We got the shot!"
Joyce considers herself both an activist in general and an activist for film. When she was living in Idaho, she participated in Idaho Film Day at the statehouse to educate lawmakers on the benefits to the economy that could come from tax incentives for filmmakers. The bill was narrowly defeated in this session. Knowing her strength and stick-to-itiveness, one doubts that she and her fellow independent filmmakers will give up on this cause so near and dear to their hearts.
It's people like the amazing women she's documenting now in her film, Arise, who inspire Joyce. They are "women who take leadership roles in their communities to make positive changes. Women who are not afraid to speak out and use their positions for change like Susan Sarandon and Cybill Shepherd," says Joyce, who keep her hopeful and motivated.
She never knows what her next project is going to be: "I always say that whatever film I'm working on is my last. That I'm retiring and have nothing more to say." She's open to doing features rather than documentaries, comparing the reenactments used in documentaries to the process of creating feature films. "A lot of the same processes are used to get something inside your head on film," says Joyce. "I'm open to ideas from other people. Film is a very collaborative process." However she stresses that whatever form her next project takes, it will have to be something she is passionate about. When Lori Joyce dreams, she dreams big. Her ultimate in achievement would be every filmmaker's, the Academy Award. And why not?
And what do others in the film industry say about Lori Joyce and her work? Award winning filmmaker, Heather Rae says, "Lori Joyce is a truly independent filmmaker. She addresses delicate and profound themes. She stays true to her vision and does not adhere to conventions. We need these kind of filmmakers, and even better in our beautiful State!" Alan Austin, Idaho Public Television videographer, says, "I worked with Lori Joyce as Director on The Journey of Sacagawea. She did an incredible job of telling that story. There was quite a bit of research involved. It was important to tell of the Lewis and Clark expedition from a different point of view. Lori told it from the girl's point of view and it was very meaningful and in depth." A different point of view is what independent filmmaking is all about and Lori Joyce seems to come to it naturally.
From documenting the historical journey of Sacagawea, one amazing woman, to the making of a documentary about present day women who are making history, the filmmaking journey of Lori Joyce has been organic with one film igniting the spark of the idea for the next, and always with her heart and soul leading the way. Let us hope that she continues to bridge the gap between what is and what could be.

Local Sports: Roundtable — Warmth among the chills
Shivering, half-frozen fans sporting knit gloves and draped in blankets.
Tantalizing wafts of barbecue chicken and fresh popcorn.
People everywhere sharing a special buzz in the air.
A Notre Dame game in October?
Try Little League opening day in Indiana.
After being teased by a week of temperatures in the 70s, pushing 80 on Friday, you just knew that Saturday's first morning at Concord Little League would be overcast, blustery and downright cold -- 45 degrees at best until a warming sun emerged before noon.
It felt like 30 when I arrived at 9:45 a.m.
"I've got to go get some warm clothes,'' muttered one mom who headed for the parking lot early.
In life as we know, there are few events which rival the chaos -- organized or otherwise -- than opening day at a Little League ballpark.
There's the overwhelming day-after-Thanksgiving mall shopping blur, the first morning at an elementary school and kid's day at the 4-H Fair.
"It's like trying to herd cats,'' said Stu Boswell, a coach and vice president of minor softball at Concord.
I couldn't agree more.
It's as hilarious a couple of hours as one can imagine -- if you have a mildly twisted sense of humor, that is.
While most of Elkhart County's parks start next weekend, Concord, Baugo and Goshen kicked off their seasons Saturday. It also was picture day at Concord, which added to the frenzy.
Forget those new uniforms, brand new bats and gloves -- photos are big.
Real big.
Hyped kids with questions, anxious moms with order forms and dads trying to stand quietly out harm's way.
"Why do we have to tuck our shirts in?'' one young girl asked her coach.
"So you look like ball players,'' the coach said.
A mother was searched for her son's lost Cubs sweatshirt.
One boy looked for his hat.
Hot coffee and cocoa were high in demand.
Me? I just hoped the ink in my pen didn't freeze.
There were the young ones of T-ball and coach-pitch who rolled in the outfield grass while the game played on.
There were 12-year-olds who dug in and lived and breathed on every swing and throw.
And among all the bright colors and fresh faces, there was one family who literally lived and breathed the day's first pitches.
During the league's opening ceremonies, a moment was taken to celebrate the life of Andrew Hollis, the 6-year-old who died in February after accidently falling into the Elkhart River near his home.
A first-time Little Leaguer a year ago, Concord planted a small tree in Andrew's honor -- the only such recognition Concord's ever done. At the base of the tree rested Andrew's baseball he got at at Gary RailCats minor league game last summer.
"He was a great kid and a great sportsman,'' Ed Frutig, the league's opening day director, said to the teams, parents and fans who gathered. "He was a lovely little boy.''
Andrew's mom, Crystal Bauman-Hollis, joined grandparents Linda and Robert Bauman, during opening ceremonies.
"It's hard, but it's therapeutic, too. I cannot not be here. I wanted to see other kids, too,'' Crystal said. "This means a lot to me. It means that nobody wants to forget him.''
Crystal wanted to be there. Family and friends wanted her there.
It was an opening day for her as well -- a warmth among the chills.
"I wanted to give them,'' Crystal said, "everything they gave to him.''

PG&E Expands Net Metering, California Solar Producers Jump For Joy
In the Environmental Leader, October 30 2009
Solar advocates in California say that a recent move by Pacific Gas & Electric to expand net metering will encourage adoption of more rooftop solar.
Earlier this week Governor Schwarzenegger convinced PG&E to up the amount of net metering allowed in its territory from 2.5 percent of peak demand to 3.5 percent, according to a press release.
"Net metering is the policy backbone of a strong rooftop solar market in California. This commitment provides a critical near-term solution for the looming net metering program cap," said Sara Birmingham, Solar Alliance lead for California.

Bernie Madoff's son has died of lymphoma at the age of 48. Andrew Madoff was the last surviving son of Bernard. Another son, Mark, committed suicide in 2010. CNBC shared the details about Madoff's son dying on Wednesday.
Andrew Madoff is said to have died at Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. Reports indicate that he passed away peacefully while surrounded by his family. As the Washington Post notes, Andrew was first diagnosed with lymphoma in 2003. The disease was in remission for about a decade, but it recurred last year.
Andrew and Mark Madoff were the ones who turned in Bernard Madoff for his Ponzi scheme in 2008. The elder Madoff had tearfully confessed to his sons that his empire had been "all just one big lie." Hours after that the sons worked with a lawyer and contacted the police to report their father. Bernie is now serving a sentence of 150 years in federal prison for the charges which include money laundering and securities fraud. Mark hanged himself exactly two years after his father's arrest.
Though both Mark and Andrew worked in the family business, they both denied being involved in the financial schemes their father orchestrated. Though Andrew was never criminally charged, and he denounced his father after the details on the scheme were revealed, he did face a civil lawsuit. The suit by Irving H. Picard, the trustee managing the liquidation of the firm, alleged that the brothers had known about Bernie's fraud and altered or deleted records.
Ultimately the Madoff fraud was said to total $65 billion in paper wealth. Andrew Madoff did a "60 Minutes" interview in 2011 where he tried to explain how such a massive scheme went undetected by both Madoff sons. He said that in the end, he had felt that he had "been used almost as a … human shield by him."
Andrew added that he felt what his father had done was unforgivable. He felt that "No father should do that to their sons." He also indicated that he had been "eager, I would say almost desperate" to publicly tell people he was not involved in his father's scheme.
Andrew was estranged from his mother Ruth for some time after the scheme imploded. However, the two did reconcile after she distanced herself from Bernie and after Mark's suicide. The news that Madoff's son died of his cancer is the latest sad chapter in a complicated and twisted family history for this family. While Andrew reconciled with his mother, it seems he never did reconcile with or forgive his father.
