I recently installed Debian Squeeze on my computer and since then I cannot mount any Samba shares, remote or local (running Samba server on localhost). The error I get (as root) is:
cmd > ~: mount -t cifs //awakening/library4 /mnt/local1/ -o guest
mount error(1): Operation not permitted
Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g. man mount.cifs)
I can try mounting some random share (which doesn't exist) and get the same error, so it doesn't even check if the share exists on the remote side. The same share worked when I had Debian Lenny installed.
What is the problem?

Is mental security one of our priorities in a school, or is it just education in a school environment?
Mental security in a school is where a child or adult can feel safe in that environment. This means if I was walking down a school hall, if I was in a bathroom of a school, if Iwas talking to an administrator, teacher, student, janitor, or on a field trip--I would not be attack or molested by anyone.
In other words, as a student, as a visitor, as a teacher, as an administrator I would feel secure in the school's environment. This responsibility lies with everyone in the school. For instance, if you see a person with a gun, knife, or bulling another person, immediately report it to a teacher, janitor, security officer, or an administrator so that the danger can be removed.
The problem is that people do not want to get involved. If it does not bother them, if they feel safe, if they are out of the way of the problem--I am secured that is all that matters, so what, with the others: Why should I get envolved?
Here is another problem that many children and adults are having when they see a person being arrested on a school grounds. I knew that person and he or she was nice to me, so why is he or she being arrested? I spent time with that person--just me and him or she together, by ourselves, talking about school work.
Therefor, because I do not feel secure in the school's environment , I can't trust anyone including the school's administration. Remember, trust goes along with the words mental security, therefore I trusted that person, and now I find out that he or she was arrested.
Therefor, should mental security be one of the priorities in a school environment?

Ron Hook, Farm Management Field Specialist, Northwest Iowa
Many producers need a simple method for creating a post-harvest marketing plan for their crops. They also need to understand the cost of storing grain after harvest, as well as the likelihood that increased prices will pay these costs.
Iowa State University (ISU) Extension and Iowa Farm Bureau jointly sponsored a workshop in the Winning the Game series called, "The Post Harvest Marketing Challenge." The workshop was offered free to producers with banks, elevators, County Farm Bureaus, and other ag businesses covering the cost. The workshop presents information on post-harvest price trends, carrying charges, cost of storage and the peril of holding grain too long in storage.
Nine sessions were held in northwest Iowa and attended by 164 producers. Post-meeting evaluations were completed, which indicated the average crop acres per producer was 650 acres. The meeting rated 4.47 on a scale of 1 to 5 with 5 being "Excellent." Ninety-nine percent of the respondents indicated that they had a better understanding of post-harvest marketing tools and the costs of these tools as a result of this workshop. Ninety-six percent of the respondents indicated that they planned to develop and implement a post-harvest marketing plan as a result of this workshop.

HOLLYWOOD, Fla. (AP) -- Former Vice President Al Gore is slated to speak at the opening of Nova Southeastern University's $50 million coral reef research center.
The South Florida center will focus on protecting coral reefs around the world and will cultivate coral species in nurseries for re-introduction to the ocean. Florida is home to most of the nation's coral reefs.
Nova received a $15 million dollar federal stimulus grant to help fund the center. University officials said the center has created 22 new academic jobs, 300 construction jobs and will employ 50 graduate students.
Researchers will also study the effects of climate change on reefs and examine their ability to recover from damage.
U.S. Congresswoman and Democratic National Committee Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz will also attend Thursday's event.

We Uncover the Salone del Mobile's Finest Green Design Gems in Milan's Brera Dis...
Start Slideshow
- Brera design 2013The narrow and elegant streets of the Brera district are home to some of the world's finest shops and art galleries, and up until a few years ago, the neighborhood didn't stray from its offer of haute couture and expensive art. However, today, Brerahas become a highly credible destination for design—including those with a sustainable bent. In addition to spotting some lust-worthy pieces coming from well-known luxury brands here, we also uncovered some of the best green furniture and products in all of the Milan Furniture Fair. See our favorites ahead.1
- Alfred von Escher - LeftoverPalermo-based designer Alfred von Escher of Studio247 reclaims old scaffolding and wood stock and recycles every single piece to create Leftover. Using nothing but the dismantled crates, the simple design becomes a unique piece enriched with subtle imperfections.2
- Clara Rigamonti - Resurrection DesignItalian artist Clara Rigamonti perfectly masters upcycling in her collection Resurrection, where forgotten vintage objects are given a second life. The quirky objects are made out of mechanical parts, such as a washing machine drum which turns into alight.3
- Clara Rigamonti - Resurrection DesignAnd here, she transforms an old bath into a comfortable sofa. The whole collection is handmade and the designer is keen to transform your favorite old object into something unique.4
- Clara Rigamonti - Resurrection DesignA motorbike is painted in metallic silver and becomes a high table with the simple addition of a glass top by Clara Rigamonti.5
- Juan Ruiz Rivas - A-RopeJuan Ruiz Rivas' project is born out of the idea of making a structure without the use of any type of adhesive, nail or hinge. The hemp rope is the only element in the A-Rope pine bench keeping the structure together.6
- Juan Ruiz Rivas - A-RopeJuan Ruiz Rivas' project is born out of the idea of making a structure without the use of any type of adhesive, nail or hinge. The hemp rope is the only element in the A-Rope pine bench keeping the structure together.7
- Juan Soriano Blanco - New Dimension TilesNew Dimension Tiles by designer Juan Soriano Blanco is a set of wall tiles made out of natural cork. An unexpected functionality is added to these tiles: when pulling the round hob, an elastic band can store any object, from a simple pen to a pot of flowers.8
- Mattia Menegatti - BettinaThe traditional Italian cupboard is reinterpreted by Mattia Menegatti for Alpac Srl using Re-board, a patented rigid paperboard manufactured in Sweden that is incredibly lightweight yet exceptionally strong. The alveolar structure is particularly tight and can support 17 kilograms per square meter; it's waterproof and can be treated against fire.9
- bee hive lampAgain for Alpac Srl, London-based designer Marc Krusin has created a series of lampshades called Bee Hive that are made from superimposing layers of Re-board, a patented rigid paperboard manufactured in Sweden. When illuminated the alveolar structure emits a warm glow.10
- Micomoler - ThumiSecond Prize winner of 2012 Salone Satellite Awards, Madrid-based design studio Micomoler creates beautiful contemporary objects with an eye on traditional crafts and materials. Thumi is a versatile basket made out of wicker and wood that can be used in several ways. With its adjustable legs, Thumi becomes a stool or a low table. Lift the wooden lid and it turns into a small storage solution.11
- Noergaard & Kechayas - Material PendantOne design, all kinds of materials. With the Material Pendant, the idea is expressed in just about every material imaginable. From oak to marble, from cork to terracotta, from concrete to cryptonite, Danish duo designers Nørgaard & Kechayas arelighting up the modern Danish design scene with a no-nonsense idea.12
- Pia Wustenberg - TransformedWe loved the juxtapositions of materials, textures and colors of Pia Wustenberg's Transformed Stacking Vessels. Modern sculptures combining three different materials (wood, glass, ceramic) and craft techniques, play a trick: viewed from the front, the Vessels appear symmetrical; viewed from the side, they appear asymmetrical.13
- Samuel Chan - Monty Lounge ChairsAward-winning furniture designer and founder of British-based company Channels, Samuel Chan, has launched a new collection where wood is king. We like the clean lines, the careful and considered design, and the craftsmanship that expertly shape the dark-toned wood of the lampshades and Monty Lounge Chair. The chair is made from shaped plywood, veneered and lightly upholstered for extra comfort.14

David Lowe, 33, of Trentham Ave, Farnworth, Bolton, in Greater Manchester England was found guilty on Friday, in a Bolton Magistrates Court, of five counts of causing unnecessary suffering to a 15-year-old terrier dog named Fly, according to the Daily Express.
The case caused an international uproar, as dog lovers gasped at the emaciated photograph of a dog discovered last October by the RSPCA, after a tip informed the organization of a severely emaciated dog in Farnworth.
Fly was found in the kitchen of the home lying in his bed barely able to even lift his head.
In fact, Fly was so emaciated, his body score was rated a "0" on a scale of "1" to "5" with a "1" being emaciated. Veterinarian Angus McKenzie testified in court that Fly was the most emaciated and skeletal dog he had ever seen in his 30 years of practicing medicine.
Tragically, all of Fly's medical conditions were treatable if Lowe had sought veterinary help for the dog sooner. Lowe had also been given money by his former partner to take the dog to the vet to have Fly humanely euthanized if needed.
When the RSPCA seized Fly, the dog was severely dehydrated, had an abscess in his mouth, overgrown nails, diabetes, a heart murmur, and was starved as a result of total neglect.
Lowe now faces a fine, jail time and a possible ban on ever owning another pet. His attorney told the court Lowe had been homeless for four years and suffers from post traumatic stress.
Lowe is scheduled to be sentenced on April 16.
Fly had to be humanely euthanized to end his terrible pain.
Rest in peace beautiful dog. What a tragedy the last part of your life had to end in such an egregious manner.

A slow moving cold front will gradually clear the Capital Region, moving south of the area during the afternoon hours today. Some light snow and/or rain showers will accompany the frontal passage. High pressure will build into the region to start the new work week, bringing fair and seasonable conditions to the area.
The region may be in line for some snowfall for the midweek period, beginning Tuesday night, as two weather systems converge upon the area, one from the southern Plains, and another from the Upper Great Lakes. Snow may be heavy at times, with some decent accumulations possible. Stay tuned for later updates on this potential winter storm.
Dry conditions look to return to the region, with temperatures below normal, to close out the work week as high pressure from the center of the Nation builds eastward.
...Below is the official forecast for the Capital Region and vicinity...
Today: Cloudy with light rain and/or snow showers possible at times. High near 40. South winds early in the day, shifting west at 5-10 MPH during the afternoon. Chance of precipitation is 30 percent. Little if any snow accumulation is expected.
Tonight: Variably cloudy. Low near 25. Northwest winds 5-10 MPH.
Monday: Partly sunny. High 30-35. Northwest winds 5-10 MPH.
Monday Night: Mostly clear and cold. Low near 15. Light northwest winds.
Tuesday: Increasing clouds. High 30-35. Light north to northwest winds.
Wednesday: A 60 percent chance of snow. High near 25 and low near 20.
Thursday: Mostly sunny and cold. High near 25 and low near 10.
Friday: Mostly sunny. High near 25 and low near 10.
Saturday: Partly sunny with a 30 percent chance of snow showers. High near 25 and low near 10.

Um, holy cow! These limited edition Marie Antoinette heels by Christian Louboutin run a very steep $6,295.00! Only 36 pairs were made, all of which have already been purchased.
My question to you is, $6,000 aside, do you like them? Bleach Black, which is where I saw them, hates them. I'm not so sure about the ankle strap, or the yellow color really, but I love the purple and red trim going all around the edge. I love trim around the edges of shoes! What do you guys think?
marie antoinette
Um, holy cow! These limited edition Marie Antoinette heels by Christian Louboutin run a very steep $6,295.00! Only 36 pairs were made, all of which have already been purchased.
- -March 11, 2009, 8:50AM
First, I have not the chance to say how much I am loving this blog… first the clothes, now the blog… I can't wait until you come up with something else!!!
Now, the shoes. Not a big fan. I agree, maybe loosing the ankle strap will make them more usable, love the trim and the yellow color though :)
- -March 11, 2009, 8:54AM
Well, everyone I know says I have no style. But I love these!
I would wear them for sure.
Probably with a snappy cocktail dress. Show off those gams and feet!
- -March 11, 2009, 12:00PM
I like everything except the ankle strap…but I suppose I understand what was trying to be accomplished with them, since they are Marie Antoinette inspired…but that ankle strap is HIDEOUS!
Good thing their are only 36 of them out there!
- -March 11, 2009, 12:17PM
LUV these! However, much too precious for me to actually wear…
- -March 11, 2009, 2:10PM
I'd have to say that I love them… yes the ankle strap is a bit wonky, but besides that I'd buy them in a second if I had the money.
- -March 11, 2009, 2:56PM
I think these are fabulous! I've been obsessed with Marie Antoinette everything since I was in the 7th grade and these shoes are great, ankle straps and all :) The price it pretty crazy though!
- -March 11, 2009, 4:08PM
They're very Betsy Johnson.
- -March 11, 2009, 4:15PM
oh my GOSH these are amazing. everything about them is perfect!
- -March 11, 2009, 4:37PM
I hate them, but that is only my opinion. I think they are trying too hard, and the yellow and purple color doesn't scream Antionette personally. I would have gone for muted pastels.
- -March 11, 2009, 4:47PM
I would love these shoes for display in my home, but I don't think they're attractive on foot. Just for display in the home or as part of my decor.
- -March 11, 2009, 5:34PM
When I first saw them, I thought that I thought they were cool, but the more I looked at them, the less and less I liked them. I go to a high school with a creative fashion class, and these shoes look like something that one of the students in that class would pump out in a week. …That was not a compliment.
I might pay about $20 for these at TJMaxx, but definatley not $6000. That's a bit ridiculous, honestly.
- -March 11, 2009, 5:35PM
I am highly disappointed with Christian Loboutin, as he is one of my favourite designers, and I think these shoes are just plain tacky. Perhaps if he chose nicer colours they'd look nicer.
- -March 11, 2009, 5:40PM
i kinda like them minus the color choices. though they don't look expensive at all…i bet with an old pair of shoes, one trip to the craft store, and a handy glue gun, i could get about the same look
- -March 11, 2009, 6:42PM
Love, love, love them. They are FANTASTIC!
- -March 11, 2009, 6:49PM
I like them, but they look more like something Irregular Choice would do. They are not on brand to Louboutin and don't warrant the price tag.
- -March 12, 2009, 2:24AM
funny thing, when i saw this pair of shoes on her blog (and right before i headed over to the fb blog too), the first thing i thought was "this is something the freepeople people would like." ehe!
- -March 12, 2009, 11:16AM
ick…not liking these too much. they're WAY overdone…but as far as making a statement about marie anttoinette they serve there purpose quite well. However, I would never wear them…or touch them with an eleven foot pole. the little ship on the top of the strap is pretty cute though…
- -September 8, 2009, 12:21PM
o my gosh-SO gorgeous. BTW, i LOVE this site!!!

3 Tasting Notes
Just in case my full review doesn't show up again, here is a screenshot: http://i51.tinypic.com/149vwpw.png.
I have an affinity for sencha. Like, really, I live on the stuff, and I'm okay with that.
I'm the type of person who is hopelessly addicted to mint. I buy metromint water by the case, and often, instead of using traditional filtered water for my sencha, I make it in chocolatemint or lemonmint water instead. It's so lovely! I am still waiting for metromint to come out with a vanillamint water (but that isn't the point here!). The point is that this is another winner from 52teas, and vanilla + mint will ALWAYS be a winner in my book. Vanilla + mint + sencha is just so freaking glorious. It's smooth, not overpowering, and even after I forgot about it while it was steeping because I was hunting for some mintwater, it didn't end up bitter or awful (Which is bizarre, because sencha can be very sensitive!). I'm not complaining!!!
So much love, 52Teas, so much love…
Just in case my full review doesn't show up, here is a screenshot! (http://i55.tinypic.com/egtzkp.png)
My first review on here, for my favorite tea ever! I have a massive collection of over 100 loose leaf teas, and I have NEVER had something so wonderful. I'm in love. I need to order another pack stat! Frank, you really are so wonderful.

Austin Mahone & His Smile Visit 'Extra' While British Man Gets Jailed For Impersonating The Popstar
Austin Mahone is smiling because he knows that he's on top of the world right now? Because he is.Do you think that
The singing sensation and his very yellow baseball cap paid a visit to Extra today, where Austin no doubt talked about just how snazzy he is. Well he probably stood by humbly while they talked about him.
Still, I don't think anybody brought up the super creepy news out of England dealing with the young singer. It involves Facebook and a pedophile.
According to the BBC, a 40-year-old man from England has just been sentenced to 10 years in jail after using Austin's photos to lure 13 to 16-year-old girls on Facebook. The whole story is really horrible, but there is an important lesson here: 13 to 16-year-old girls! If you see Austin Mahone's picture on Facebook that doesn't mean it's him so don't send indecent photos!
How do you think that made Austin feel? It's gotta be creepy and a little bit unsettling to know you were part of something like that, however indirectly. Well, he's still got that smile. Launch the gallery to check out all the photos of his Extra visit. And remember, be wary of the interwebs.

Last October a measure called the basic income referendum was put on the ballot in Switzerland. What this measure sought to do was pay every adult in Switzerland $2800 just for, well being alive and living in Switzerland (see reuters.com article).
The Swiss have one of highest standards of living in the world and a stunningly beautiful country. They are a smart well educated people, evidenced by their ability to stay out of two very destructive world wars. This may sound like some kind of Utopian fantasy, but it is not, and it is noteworthy it is happening in a country that was once the home to hell and brimstone thinkers like John Calvin and Huldrych Zwingli.
Nevertheless, the Swiss maybe onto something, in January 2014, The Labor Department issued figures showing that the number of people working or looking for work was at the lowest levels since 1977 (see washingtonpost. com article). Economists argue over why, some say it is an aging workforce, other say students finding no work are staying in college. However, those figures cannot account for the total loss of people from the workforce.
There is a reason not often mentioned, but evident, labor saving technologies have eliminated so many jobs, there are simply no jobs for these people to apply for. This was amplified in a recent post on ZdNet titled "Hell no, we won't pay: How technology transformed our perception of value" (see zd.net article). Technology is undermining the traditional concepts of value. Not surprising as many in that arena are libertarians.
What is slowly dawning on economic policy-makers is that technology may signal the death knell to free market capitalism.
What we need to start thinking about as innovators and entrepreneurs is a future where populations have to work less, where like the above mentioned Swiss referendum people get paid for just being alive. This may shock many free market believers, but it is becoming evident in country after country, the global free market system is not serving the best interests of the largest number of people. It is worth remembering that liberal capitalism first enunciated by Adam Smith in the Wealth of Nations was published in 1776. The world of men in wigs wearing big buckled shoes riding to ye Olde Tavern for a glass of ale, are long gone, and the system he laid out has very little to do with a global economy connected by instantaneous communication and robotic assembly lines. In Smith's day labor was valuable, in classical economic theory, it is the labor put in that creates value, but we live in a world where more and more machines are doing the work.
Soon, machines will do most of the work. Consider the following, farms are increasingly being run by GPS guided machines and drones; they require little or no human supervision. (see pbs.org/wgbh/nova) The time is coming when getting the food from the farm to the supermarket will involve no human hand. The automated farm harvesters will load onto self-driving vehicles, like what Google is developing, the produce will be taken to factories where robots and automation will process it, then back onto the self-driving vehicles, finishing up at the supermarket. Today, many markets allow you to order on line. Shoppers just pick up at a drive through and pay at an automatic teller, soon the deliver could be by unmanned drones . This is not some future fantasy, this is happening today. The end result is everyone needs to get ready for the work-less society.
That is why the referendum put on the ballot by the Swiss, is a bellweather of things to come.

Reed's first quarter interception wasn't the most pivotal play of the game, but it certainly made a difference, and game-changing efforts like that one have been commonplace in the Miami product's career. As he enters free agency, many wonder where he'll be suiting up in 2013.

It's hot and you want to stay cool. So whether you're embracing the shade, splashing out on the lawn, or keeping cool by the pool, we've got some fun ways to make the most of the heat this month.
Have a picnic
Why? Because it's a great way to get family and friends together for a fabulously fun feast.
Enjoy some cool licks at the Ottawa Ice Cream Festival on August 7
Why? Because you'll get to experience the journey from cow to cone while honing your milking technique, giving an ice cream maker a spin, and catching the buzz about honeybees and ice cream production—cool and sweet.
A Dyson Air Multiplier
Why? It's a bladeless fan using special technology that amplifies the air 15 times, so it cools things down and keeps little fingers safer—especially ones that like to poke through things.
Water Treasure Hunt
Why? Because pool games are always fun and can include kids of varying ages (read: parents) too. Toddlers in splash pools can try their hand at grasping for shells, pennies or other treasures you've placed on the bottom. Older kids can test out their underwater breathing skills diving for objects.
Then Came You by Jennifer Weiner
Why? Another great novel from one of our fave authors, it addresses surrogacy, egg donorship, the rights of a parent and what it means to be a mother through the eyes of a student, a housewife and a socialite (who wasn't always one). We've got five copies to give away.
Why? You can check out market vendors across the country and see what goods they have to offer you online—we think that's pretty cool.
Why? It's a great little app that gets your kids excited about tracing letters one line at a time, and rewards their new skills with a game where they tilt or bounce the newly formed letter into a bucket.
Clean or replace your air conditioning filter
Why? Just as your furnace filter needs to be cleaned or changed regularly, you should also clean or replace your air conditioning filter. Dirty filters can restrict air flow and reduce your system's efficiency.
Tee-it-up for the 'It Shouldn't Hurt to be a Child' golf tournament
Why? With proceeds from the event going to support the Victims of Violence Canadian Centre for Missing Children, you can do good while having fun.
Receive 25% off of everything at Radicool Canada using code KT92 (organization is Savvymom) until August 31
Why? These awesome Australian swim outfits offer 100+ SPF protection for the kids, while being lightweight, bright, durable, and quick to dry.

Despite not having a completion date set in stone, Owen County School District Superintendent David Raleigh said students will be moving into the new Maurice Bowling Middle School following winter break.
The school was expected to be completed in October, but due to harsh winter weather earlier this year, contractors were unable to complete construction in early fall.
It truly does take an entire community to educate a child. That point was never made clearer than at Owen County High School's KCCT Recognition Ceremony on Nov. 18 where more than 100 students were recognized for high academic achievement.
It is at this ceremony where over 70 proud guests (parents, grandparents, and other family members) were present to share in this special event.
Early Sunday morning (Nov. 15), a vehicle crashed through a phone pole and ran through my yard.
Thankfully no one was seriously injured.
This is not the first time this has happened and it is dangerous.
I called and asked for a guard rail to be put up earlier this year and have not had any response.
If my children had been outside playing when this happened, they could have been injured or killed.
I am asking for a guard rail to please be put up. My address is 329 West Seminary Street.
Owen countians have already begun seeing PHI Air Medical's helicopter in the sky, rushing to provide quick medical assistance. And they're sure to see a lot more of Owen County's newly-based medical crew.
PHI's modular building, that once sat in Williamstown, has been moved to Owenton. Crew members are looking forward to responding from their new base.
Thanksgiving is full of traditions. There is turkey, dressing, football, uncles asleep in recliners, indigestion, and oh yeah, pumpkin pie.
I have also begun another Thanksgiving tradition. In case you have not caught on, this is now my third installment of the Golden Gobble Awards celebrating the biggest turkeys in sports for the past year. Well, not exactly celebrating but rather ridiculing and maybe even making fun of.
The Golden Gobble for Team That Resembles an NFL Franchise goes to the Cincinnati Bengals.
The Owen County Lady Rebels have won three straight 31st district championships. They hope they are not done yet.
The Lady Rebels get set to open another basketball season Monday night at home against Grant County.
Owen County finished last season 17-10. The team again captured the 31st district title by knocking off Carroll County 49-37 in the finals. They lost to Simon Kenton in the first round in the eigth-region tournament.
I played bridge last week and got home about 5 p.m., just in time to get the car into the garage and close the garage door before the lights went out.
The electricity flicked on and off several times before giving up the ghost and going off completely. I scrounged around in cabinets and closets and found all the candles and placed them strategically around the house in case the power didn't come back till after dark. I have a gas range, so heating soup for supper was no problem.
Editor's note: The News-Herald reports all misdemeanors, felonies and small claims judgments in district court, except for juvenile court proceedings, which are confidential; however, traffic offenses by juveniles are reported because they are public record. All civil suits in circuit court are reported. Claims made in a lawsuit present only one side of a case. Charges or citations reported to the News-Herald do not imply guilt. That is determined by the court. Information on this page is public record. Names will not be withheld by request.
Nov. 19, 2010
Following a serious drought and a nearly two-month long ban on outdoor burning, Owen County Judge-executive Carolyn Keith has lifted ban but warned it could go back into effect if conditions warrant.
The ban went into effect Sept. 24 and was lifted early Friday.
A state of emergency relating to the drought was officially declared Oct. 26.
According to the declaration, the drought created considerable hardships for Owen County farmers.
Keith said the burn ban and the state of emergency were two separate proclamations.
It's Margaret A. (Kasner) Murphy again.
My thanks and appreciation to the Kentucky American Water Pumping Station II at "Hardin's Landing" for our invitation to share in this very special celebration. More water to the people.
Lela M. Karsner Hawkins, 93, Margaret A. (Karsner) Murphy, 91, and Christina Rice all are included with the Hardin cousins.
Thanks to our friend Bro. David Wotier for remembering us on this day.

General Info
Loyola University Chicago
Founded in 1870, Loyola University Chicago is the oldest university in the City of Chicago. The school of law admitted its first class in 1908 and has been accredited by the American Bar Association since 1925. Loyola University Chicago is one of the largest Jesuit universities in the United States.
Jean M. Gaspardo, BS, Wisconsin; MBA, JD, Loyola-Chicago. Dean Gaspardo served in the capacity of Director of Student Services for Loyola from 1993–1999, and as assistant dean from 1999 to the present. Her current responsibilities as Dean of Students and Law Programs include: counseling students; directing the Study Law Abroad Programs in Rome and China; assisting with the London Advocacy Program and Spring Break programs abroad; and assisting with administrative operations of the law school. Dean Gaspardo has an extensive background in small business and world travel. She speaks fluent Italian and can also communicate in Spanish and French. Dean Gaspardo has accompanied Loyola's summer abroad programs continuously since 1991.
To register, fill out the application form online (available November 2015) and mail the non-refundable application fee of $600 to the address indicated below. The application fee will be credited toward your activity fee.
Study Law Abroad Programs
Attention: Dean Gaspardo/Giselle Santibanez-Bania
Loyola University Chicago School of Law
25 East Pearson Street—Room 1227/1240
Chicago, IL 60611
In addition, after completion of your first semester, non-Loyola University Chicago students should direct their registrar to mail a Letter of Good Standing to the same address stating that you have successfully completed at least your first semester course work with a 2.0 or better (on a 4.0 scale) and have completed or are currently enrolled in the second semester of first year law school.
Registration via LOCUS on-line is February 25, 2016. Students must register for a minimum of four (4) credit hours. A non-refundable deposit of $600 is required at the time of application submission. All tuition, fees, and housing costs for the program must be paid in full by April 1, 2016, unless you are approved for Financial Aid/Consortium Agreement.
Space is limited, apply early. Only 50 students will be accepted into the Rome Program. The program often fills up before the March 7, 2016 deadline.
Please note: Except in the event of the cancellation of the 2016 program or of any particular course, no tuition can be refunded after April 4, 2016. Students who withdraw from a course after that date cannot receive a refund of tuition.
Program Cancellation
ABA standards on US State Department Consular Information regarding "Areas of Instability" and Travel Warnings in those counties where programs are held will govern program cancellation. If, prior to the commencement of the program OR during the course of the program, a US State Department Travel Warning or Alert covering program dates and destinations is issued for the country [Italy] in which the program will be or is being conducted, all registrants/students will be notified promptly and be given an opportunity to withdraw from the program, in compliance with Criterion VII.C.2.a. and Criterion VII.C.2.b. Should the program be canceled for any reason, Loyola will promptly notify all enrolled students of the cancellation and will refund within 20 days all payments received except for housing fees utilized prior to the date of withdrawal or program termination. Further, Loyola will diligently put forth its best effort to find another program in which the students can enroll.
Any student in good standing at an ABA accredited United States or Canadian law school that has successfully completed at least one year of legal study is eligible to participate. Last year, our Rome Program enrolled 32 students, 27 of whom were from Loyola Chicago and 5 of whom were from other ABA accredited law schools.
Credit & Grades
The 2016 Study Law Abroad Program is offered as part of the fully accredited curriculum of Loyola University Chicago School of Law. The program is also fully accredited by the ABA as an approved foreign summer program. Participating non-Loyola students are responsible for securing approval of their own school to transfer credit. Grades for courses will be earned and awarded in increments of A, A-, B+, B, B-, C+, C, C-, D, F; grades will be determined by a written examination and/or paper(s) at the discretion of the instructor.
Acceptance of any credit or grade for any course taken in the program is subject to determination by the student's home school. It is unlikely that participation in foreign summer programs may be used to accelerate graduation. A student interested in acceleration of graduation should discuss this issue with his/her school officials in light of ABA Standard 305, Interpretation 4.
Non-Loyola Students are responsible for requesting a transcript of grades for their work in the Rome program. Transcripts will be available in early October by sending a written request for transcript to:
Loyola University Chicago
Records and Registration
820 N. Michigan Ave., Room 504
Chicago, IL60611
OR an on-line request by going to the following website form:
Be sure to provide your name, address, last 4 digits of your social security number, reference to Study Law Abroad Program and the program location and year.

Many students opt to purchase a European Rail Pass through a travel agency in the US. Inexpensive airlines also service many European cities from Rome for under $100.
The Rome Campus is not accessible for use by people who use wheelchairs or who are visually impaired. The snack bar, classrooms, and most dormitory rooms can be reached only by stairs. Public facilities in Rome and transportation are generally not accessible to people with disabilities.
Optional Travel
The Rome Program allows ample time for students to take advantage of a variety of travel destinations, such as Florence, Amalfi Coast/Pompeii, or Venice. Students who choose to travel on weekends will be responsible for their own travel arrangements and related costs while away from campus.
Each student in the program should have a valid passport good through October 2016. Students are responsible for obtaining their own passports. Allow at least two months processing time to secure a passport. All students must submit a copy of their passport to Dean Gaspardo by April 1, 2016.

Hi guys,
I need some help in finding a light weight stroller that is easy to fold, reclines and is easy to maneuver. Also, I really need it to be light preferable under 11 lbs give or take. I have to take public transporation and need one ASAP :(
Thanks in advance!

Guess My Heart Has A Mind Of Its Own
So as character flaws go, it's not such a bad one.
Jack used to say that he hated the word hope. He would, from time to time, encourage me to give up on him. To give up my hope that one day, we would ride off into the sunset together, metaphorically. I told him I would never give up, and that I didn't believe him, in any event, because I knew why he went to Doc G for all those years, and I knew what he meant when he said, "I'm working on it." I knew what the Very Bad Things were, and I never once doubted he would beat them. I never gave up on him, until I had to.
The working title of the novel I was writing, before I decided to write stories here as Postmodern Sass, was I, Hope. It had a happy ending. So does my screenplay. But I digress.
I think it's time for me to give up on California.
I don't want to, but these last few days I've been forcing myself to answer the question, "Why not?" and so far the only answer I've been able to give myself has been, "You're a fool if you don't."
"But my students need me!" I attempt to defend myself.
"They'll manage," I reply, cynically. "The one in a hundred that appreciates you will remember you, and stay in touch. The rest don't matter, and guess what? They won't miss you a whit."
"Sucks, doesn't it? You want another reality check?"
"No, thanks," I whimper.
"Tough shit. Listen up. You know all the work you've been doing on the curriculum committee for the last two years, trying to improve the program?"
"Of course. And we've done some really great things. The students have already noticed."
"Yeah, well, the students might think the program is better now, but that and $5 will get you a cup of coffee at Starbucks. Are you really blind to what the rest of the faculty thinks?"
"They think, who are you to come into their School and dare to suggest that the way they've been doing things for twenty years needs improving? They think you're a heretic because you tell the students newspapers are dying and online is the way of the future. Who are you, to come to San Jose, the home of the Knight Ridder empire, and suggest such a thing? They're horrified that you tell your advertising students they should be taking marketing courses, because you're sending them to the Business School. They might like it better over there, and leave the College of Communications, which pays your bread and butter, missy. You'd better smarten up and keep pushing the mass comm curriculum, and by the way, stop telling the creatives that they should be minoring in graphic design. They can learn to be an art director in our program, by taking that one class we offer in Basic Layout. And how dare you suggest that advertising students don't need a full semester course on the First Ammendment? That's what they think, Clueless One. And then they shake their heads and say, oh well, she's Canadian. She just doesn't understand how things work here."
"You sure got that right. I don't understand why they seem perfectly happy to be working in what is clearly a third-rate School. They don't even seem to want to try to shoot for second-rate. I mean, I get that USJ isn't ever going to be Stanford, or Berkeley, but shouldn't we at least be trying?"
"What has trying gotten you so far?"
"You know! The student advertising agency! It's running right now, as a class, for the first time ever in the School's history. You know how hard I worked last spring, toiling through the layers of administration one has to pass in order to get a new course in the catalog. I wrote the syllabus, and presented the course proposal at the school, then the college, then the university level. You were there, don't you remember?"
"I remember. You used that business as a distraction, to keep yourself from worrying about what was going on with Jack's estate, his family, and Beauty. You didn't even go home last summer, you fool."
"Shut up, you know how Murphy's Law and all its corollaries work. If I had booked a ticket home, the day I left would have been the day Jack's father would have called to say they were coming."
"Yeah, and that worked out so well for you, didn't it?"
"Shut up."
"So, now what happened with the agency?"
"Well, because of all the state budget cuts, the axe has been falling in my department. You know we're tenure-track, so it's not like we're going to be cut, but my teaching assignment changed."
"To what?"
"From two sections of Intro to Advertising, one section of Consumer Advertising, and the Agency this semester; to two sections of Intro to Advertising and two sections of Consumer Advertising next semester."
"That's riduculous. There aren't enough students to support two sections of Consumer Advertising."
"I know."
"There's always only been one. There are 35 students, max. If it's broken into two sections, it'll be, like 20 in one and 18 or so in the other. How does that make any sense?"
"It doesn't. But you're missing the point. The Chair decided to cut the Agency faculty from three to two, and he cuts ME! I'm the one who did all the work to get it going! There wouldn't BE an Agency class if it weren't for me!"
"So, what are you going to do, give up on the School? Give up on California?"
"Wouldn't you?"

One of my favorite childhood books was "Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs." I loved it. How fun, food falling from the sky? If you have a baby, that's one of the gifts I always give!
Of course, it's now a fun movie. I can't wait to see it a little later this week.
Bruce and Chuck went to go see it over the weekend. They both think I look like the weather girl in the picture below. What do you think? I see it!

Thalassemia is an inherited disorder that affects the production of normal hemoglobin (a type of protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen to the tissues of the body). Thalassemia includes a number of different forms of anemia. The severity and type of anemia depends upon the number of genes that are affected.
Alpha thalassemia is caused by mutations in the alpha chain of the hemoglobin molecule. Normally, there are two alpha chain genes located on each #16 chromosome, for a total of 4. The alpha chain is an important component of fetal hemoglobin (which is usually made before birth) and hemoglobin A and hemoglobin A2 (which are present after birth). How these genes are altered determines the specific type of alpha thalassemia in a child:
When parents are carriers of the cis deletion, there is a one in four, or 25 percent, chance with each pregnancy, to have a baby with alpha thal major. Carriers of the cis deletion versus the trans deletion can be distinguished by DNA analysis only. DNA testing is usually done from a blood sample, to look at the alpha chain genes on each #16 chromosome, to determine which are deleted.
Alpha thalassemia is most commonly found in Africa, the Middle East, India, Southeast Asia, southern China, and the Mediterranean region. Carrier status can be determined by the following:
All of these studies can be performed from a single blood sample. Prenatal diagnosis is determined from CVS (chorionic villus sampling) or amniocentesis.
Specific treatment for alpha thalassemia will be determined by your child's physician based on:
Treatment for alpha thalassemia may include:

Sales managers need love too! In the industry the majority of the attention is put on the sales people. The assumption is that the manager gets it and is good at what he does otherwise, how could he be a manager. Sound familiar? The flip side to this is that on more than one occasion, the sales manager got this position because he or she was a great sales person. The reality is, that great sales people and great closers do not always make for great managers and leaders.
Good sales people are born and can be groomed and so it goes for the manager. And for those reading this who have the luxury of hiring and promoting with in your origination, keep in mind that the best manager you've ever hired could very well be the "average" sales person who is a high producing leader in a shell just waiting to burst out.
In film there are actors and their are directors. It it very rare to see a great director being a great actor and vice versa.
Kevin Davis in a recent article for Business 2 Community points out 6 opportunities for growth and development for sales managers to improve their craft and blossom into the leadership and manager role in a way that creates the sales culture and orginazation we all hope for.
1. Managers tend to "fall back on their sales instincts rather than develop a leader mindset." Kevin points out that because the new manager doesn't know how to be an effective sales manager, they will fall back to what they know, which is being a good sales person. This can wind up leaving the sales people in need of leadership without a leader and only the "über-salespeople" get the attention. The sink or swim strategy just doesn't work. Everyone needs a leader or a coach.
2. Untrained managers tend to "focus too much energy where it does little good." There is a tendency of getting caught in the cycle of trying to save the unsavealbe. What that means is, sales people won't get coaching unless they are really poorly performing! Too much one-on-one coaching and attention there leave out the greatest opportunity which is the middle performers. The guys in the middle typically have the most untapped potential and could be the company's greatest opportunity for real tangible growth.
3. No consistency. For the untrained sales manager if there is no predictable management process or common coaching language the results will be confusing to sales reps. It will become especially confusing if the coaching message is not well defined, or changes frequently. Kevin observes that "This can affect the sales manager's credibility, and the confidence of the sales team." The other challenge this creates is tracking results and statistics. Consistency is not just for the sales process but for management as well. This will remove a lot of mystery for the sales people. Too much mystery for a sales person will result in an apathetic sales staff and that will result in a poor customer experience.
4. Untrained = Buried! Lack of effective time management skills will result in effort taking the place of results. The untrained sales manager finds him or herself "working harder than ever but are unable to catch up, and have no time for what should be their #1 priority, to coach salespeople." Kevin's right on the nose here. Managers need to stay focused on a positive, energetic sales force that can guide the customer through the process. Getting stuck with busy work only hurts the team which ultimately hurts the customer.
5. The sales manager who lacks experience or is untrained sales typically struggles with developing and then enforcing a high standard of excellence for their team. If they can't define for their people what success looks like how can they dial in the appropriate attitude, approach and level of action to accomplish that? Kevin states, "If they don't know what success looks like, it's impossible to steer people in the right direction." Amen to that!
6 Failure to follow-up. The untrained sales managers makes a suggestion to a sales person on how to improve and then mistakenly assumes that the sales person will duplicate the suggestions. Without a genuine follow-up or any accountability, it's merely just good advice. Management wants to create a team culture that has full accountability.
Training for sales managers is just as if not even more important than training for sales people. One possible solution for management training is Cardone University. This is a cloud based too designed specifically to give sales managers daily meeting material to make sure the staff shows up to work on time and not just physically, but mentally and emotionally as well. It also provides managers and sales people real time on demand solutions to the sales situations they face on a daily basis. Is was designed to make one-on-one coaching and training fast, simple and effective. Cardone University also comes with full tracking and accountability so that any sales manager can know with a click of a button what his people know and more importantly what they don't know and where they need help. Cardone University is available for a 72 hour trial. For more information and complementary production and profitability analysis you can reach out to Sales & Marketing Manager David Bradley at 310-777-0352 or firstname.lastname@example.com

The new limited edition See's flavor has arrived! Yay! I am super excited about this month's free sample of the See's Black Forest Truffle. Who doesn't love chocolate delivered to your doorstep? I digress. I get excited about all candy, but when I heard these were headed my way it made me happy because I love sampling See's Candies' products.
The bonbons arrived halfway melted, by no fault of the company, simply because the heat where I am was oppressive that day. I popped them right in the fridge to cool some, which made it hard for me to wait to sample my first one. Also, because of the melting, the bonbons in the photo may not be the most attractive, but I did my best. I'm sure if you got them in store they'd look as impeccable as ever.
Once they were cool and solid enough to handle, I went in for my first taste!
The dark chocolate is rich and smooth with notes of berries and coffee.The richness of the chocolate with it's full flavors blend into an intense fudgey sweetness that's crowned with the fresh flavor of black cherries. The cherry flavor is very complex, as it's tart, sweet, has a wonderful depth to it. It its a nice mix of jam and cordial. It's lovely. The chocolate's "red" notes allow for it to blend beautifully with the cherry flavors. The texture is soft and fudgey and incredible luxurious. This is an incredible pieces of chocolate art.
I know I enjoyed the past two Limited Edition flavors, but this one they're really outdone themselves. I hope they bring one one back as a regular addition to the See's lines of incredible candies.
CONTEST: I have another a gift certificate from See's to give away! It's for one pound of these chocolate, and can be used in their stores or by phone at (800-895-7337). So how do you enter? Please comment on this post by Friday at noon, EST and share your favorite See's flavor if you have one. I'll choose a winner randomly from those who enter. Best of luck!

I do agree that all small businesses, regardless of the number of owners, that would not benefit financially by incorporating should register their activity as an LLC to get the liability protection. It is relatively inexpensive to do so, and it can probably be done online by the business owner himself/herself without having to pay a lawyer. But I also believe that a one-person LLC should elect the "default" entity and file a Schedule C. It is my opinion that if you want to file as a corporation you should incorporate.
I believe it is bad advice to tell ALL taxpayers who have a Schedule C business to incorporate. There is no tax advice that applies to all businesses in all situations (except don't cheat). The decision to incorporate a business requires careful review of all the specific facts and circumstances of the individual situation. And taxes are not the only consideration. In a majority of cases it is not financially beneficial, either in the short or long term, to incorporate.
The advice that one should incorporate solely for the purpose of avoiding an audit seems to me to be saying, "If you want to cheat on your taxes you can incorporate and the IRS will not audit you". It is not good tax or financial advice.
I have said time and again that an IRS audit is not something that should be avoided at all costs. Tax returns should be prepared, and decisions about choosing a business entity should be made, in such a manner as to generate the absolute least amount of federal, state and local taxes (income and payroll) within the parameters of federal and state laws. If you will pay less taxes (income and payroll), fees and other costs by filing a Schedule C you should do so, honestly and ethically, and not worry about being audited.
If your return is prepared correctly, and you document all items of income and deduction properly upfront, then an audit is nothing more than an inconvenience.
It is very true that one consideration out of many in determining whether or not to incorporate is the fact that the audit profile of the business will be reduced, and more so in coming years. But it is only one – and a minor one at that. At most it is merely "icing on the cake". Unless, of course, you are a crook.
If you are told that there is a substantially greater chance of being audited if you deduct your $10,000 gift to a qualified charity, which you did properly and have all requisite documentation, it would be bad advice to tell you not to deduct the $10,000. The deduction is genuine and you can prove it. Who cares if the IRS asks you to prove it?
I do agree that there are indeed times when it is "more better" financially to incorporate a one-person business, especially when excessive health insurance costs are involved. But certainly not in all cases.
The decision to incorporate is by no means a "no-brainer". It involves a lot of brain work!

30 years of artistic expression with Adelaide's Vital Statistix
Vitalstatistix has been at the forefront of grass roots theatre and arts for the last 30 years and this month sees their trademark 'hot-house for the arts' Adhocracy run across the Queen's Bday long weekend. Ron Hughes speaks to creative producer Emma Webb.
Vitalstatistix is a rarity among the theatre and arts community: developing new works from Australian artists, often political, feminist and no stranger to controversy, it has kept going strong outside the central Adelaide area for 30 years, producing works of national importance.
"There is a downside to being outside the CBD," Emma Webb concedes. "I think a lot of people think everything to do with the arts happens in the City, in March, so it can be difficult to entice people out to Port Adelaide.
"But, we're very lucky to be here. Artists enjoy working in this space, it's very flexible, very versatile, and the Port community are very committed to supporting Vitals."
"I'm really excited about celebrating our 30th year," she says, "Especially since we've managed to involve all our artistic directors from across the company's history."
Given the current financial situation and recent federal budget cuts it's clear that independent artists are going to struggle to produce new work. That's where a company like Vitalstatistix comes into its own: they have a long-standing commitment to supporting artists –even across a period of years – to develop projects and bring them to fruition.
Watch the highlights of Adhocracy from 2013
Part of that process is Adhocracy – an artistic 'hot-house' that sees artists from across the country come together to experiment and create across artistic disciplines in conjunction with each other and the public.
This year's Adhocracy runs across the June long weekend and the various projects involved cover various genres from visual arts, music and performance to documentary and history. It sounds like inspired madness.
"No, not at all!" Webb laughs. "We don't just throw a bunch of artists into a space and say 'Here! Create!' All of these projects are well thought out and planned. The artists have concepts and ideas they'd like to experiment with and develop and they all have a good idea how to go about it.
"The great thing is that the doors are open to the public to watch, join in the conversations and give feedback. In one way it's a great opportunity for people to get an inside view of what is involved in creating a work of art or performance piece."
"On top of that the artists get feedback from their peers and the public, which aids them in the creative process," Webb says.
Adding to that is the relaxed atmosphere of the Waterside Workers' Hall, Vitalstatistix's home, where the bar will be open for the whole time and the Taco Cat caravan will be selling food from 5:30pm to 9:30pm each day.
The best way to experience the long weekend is to get your hands on a program first and work out what sessions you'd like to experience at what times, Webb says.
"We'll be distributing programs on the street and of course people can download the full program from our website. That way they can work out what particular activities are of most interest to them and can plan accordingly," she says.
[Image] Vitalstatistix home base, the Waterside Workers' Hall in Port Adelaide
"One word of advice – get there early, because some of the sessions have strictly limited numbers. It really is a great atmosphere over the whole weekend and people can come every day and see something different each time, because each project is developing day by day."
Adhocracy is just one of a number of similar 'hot-house' platforms that exist in Australia and around the world.
"I think it's really important that South Australia hosts this kind of work going on, for our cultural health," Webb says.
"Adhocracy gives artists a chance to explore and experiment in a collaborative process. We have projects researching and archiving the history of contemporary performance, some exploring audio-visual concepts and some looking at the relationship between art and non-art fields, like climate change for example."
Adhocracy is just one feature of a large calendar of events and productions Vitalstatistix is presenting in their 30th year. Check out their website for details. Meanwhile we have to wonder, given the current climate with governments cutting funding to the arts left, right and centre, what the future will hold for independent companies and artists.
"There needs to be cultural investment in the arts in South Australia, and outside the central area – throughout the suburbs and regions," Webb says.
"It's definitely the time for people to support the arts, because they contribute so much to our cultural democracy. That's more important than ever.
"Performance and the arts are important for our collective cultural health. And if you want that – you need to support it."

The last time Ann Arbor's and Columbus' respective college football teams had the same result, Ohio State president E. Gordon Gee referred to the draw as one of the 'greatest wins' in Ohio State football history.
Today's announcement by the NHL will have no winners. The University of Michigan was scheduled to host this year's Winter Classic. The NHL lockout has axed the league's version of the Super Bowl.
Though regular season games for Jan. 1 have not been officially postponed yet, logistical issues resulted in today's cancellation of the Winter Classic.
"The logistical demands for staging events of this magnitude made today's decision unavoidable. We simply are out of time," said NHL Deputy Commissioner Bill Daly. "We are extremely disappointed, for our fans and for all those affected."
The Winter Classic has become a cash cow not only to the NHL but the city that hosts it. Michigan Stadium was prepared to host over 100,000 hockey fans to what has become one of the greatest spectacles in all of sports.
The projected economic impact to Ann Arbor was supposed to be over $15 million. That is money Ann Arbor and the University of Michigan is supposed to get back in 2014, if the league can salvage itself before settling a grim lockout.
Don't celebrate too much about Ann Arbor's loss, Columbus is next.
Not directly affected by today's announcement is the NHL All-Star Game scheduled to be in Columbus in January. It seems to be a matter of time before this too will be cancelled and the darkness known as a hockey-less winter becomes nuclear.
The logistical issues of keeping the All-Star Game hopes alive for Columbus' Nationwide Arena will come into play soon as well. The NHL secures flights, hotel accommodations, and conference rooms for league executives and sponsors. It would not be fair to Columbus business owners to string the city along only to cancel the game at the last possible second.
The economic impact of the NHL All-Star Game is about as high as the Winter Classic to boot. Last year's exhibition in Raleigh, N.C. brought in over $10 million. NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman has cancelled all games through November and unless a miracle takes place in negotiating, it is likely the NHL All-Star Game will be wiped before there are many more games cancelled.
But if you are like Gee and have to pick a winner and a loser, Columbus clearly loses.
Hockey will still be played in southeastern Michigan over New Year's weekend with the Great Lakes Invitational (which was scheduled to be played at Comerica Park before the Winter Classic was cancelled) at Detroit's Joe Louis Arena. Michigan Stadium is just two years removed from hosting an outdoor hockey game in front of over 100,000 between Michigan State and Michigan.
This is not to say southeastern Michigan does not suffer, but the area will still have hockey being played in an NHL venue and will get its return date with the NHL relatively promptly.
Columbus has had little to celebrate when it comes to hockey. In the 13 years of the Blue Jackets, fans in Columbus have had to endure no playoff victories and two lockouts. The loss of the NHL All-Star Game is not only an incredible economic downer, but it punches the morale.
To compound the angst, Ann Arbor will get the NHL's Winter Classic next time it happens. That date will likely be pushed back exactly a year to Jan. 1, 2014.
The NHL All-Star game is traditionally not played during Olympic years. Next year, Russia hosts the Winter Olympics so it is unlikely an All-Star Game will be played. That means even if the NHL announces the next exhibition will be played in Columbus, it could be two more years before the game is played. That if looms large.
The All-Star Game which was scheduled for Atlanta in 2005 was cancelled due to a lockout. Though Phillips Arena eventually got the All-Star game in 2008, the club was beginning to pack its bags for Winnipeg while the game was being played.
Let's hope Columbus' hockey squad does not suffer the same fate as Atlanta did when it lost its All-Star Game bid. The good fans of Columbus do not deserve the punishment the NHL is about to serve to this city.

Ann Hart, President of the Autism Society of America, Greater Austin Chapter (ASGA) is spreading the word about an opportunity to help children who will benefit from therapy dog programs:
"After a year of trying, we have made it into the Pepsi Refresh Everything campaign!! We have 30 days to try and get the most votes for our Teaching social skills to teens with Asperger's using therapy dogs program. We are in the $50,000 category – so definitely worth your time to vote. This is national – so send to everyone, far and wide that could vote. Our goal is to make a difference for children not just here in Austin, but nationwide.
We are seeking funding to expand our program of using therapy dogs to teach social skills to children with Asperger's Syndrome. In the 2010/11 school year, we piloted the program and it worked great. We want to expand, bring in the University of Texas to scientifically study the efficacy and document our curriculum so it can be shared with therapist and others who work with dogs and children who have autism. If we get the funding we can help more kids here in Austin as well as have the potential to help kids across the country.
You can vote by linking on our Pepsi page at Refresh Everything : Autism Dogs
You can also like our program in Facebook and then all your friends will have an easy way to find the link."
You will be asked to "Sign-In" to vote. This can be done through one of two ways:
- Your Facebook account

Thanks KarenB, you're the best! I've found Bay Leaves to be more interesting than I had first thought. Sachet anyone? Or should I say bouquet garni?
Thanks for the link, KarenB. I knew the laurel crowns on those Greek and Roman statues were made of bay leaves, but I didn't realize they were victory trophies. I had always just assumed this was a traditional accessory in an era without shampoo!
In response to the original question- I seldom use bay leaves on my own initiative, but I never omit them when called for in a recipe. I often like to toss one in when I'm heating the milk to make Bechamel; it adds a certain subtle grassy something.
I should add that the bay leaves I use are gray-green and quite mild. Even though I buy them a few at a time from the local CoOp so I don't wind up with a jar of odorless years-old leaves the way I used to, I'm pretty sure that folks in or near California (or Turkey for that matter) are getting much stronger laurel flavor in theirs.
Oh, my goodness! Beans (lots and lots!) soup, stew, almost any meat dish. Couldn't cook without them! I grew up an hour from the coast, in Northern California. If you know what to look for, you can (we always did!) harvest fresh leaves from a coastal bay tree. They are the best!
If purchasing bay leaves from a grocery or store such as Penzeys (www.Penzeys.com), I believe the bay leaves come from Turkey, or other Mediterranean countries. My own take on it is that the California Bay Laurel is a stronger odor, and flavor. I might even say it is addictive....
Does Bay Laurel grow in coastal Canada? Or Down-Under?
No. we are total import here. We range from a 3 to 0 growth zone. Bay can grow in 8 to 11 zone. Only inside here only.
My area is only a 5A at the best.
My grandmother always told me to store one in my flour container and in the back of cabinets to ward off any unwanted visitors
So correct! I have them in my rice, and grains.
You really don't need a lot of bay leaves. At work, we make HUGE pots of meat sauce and only use 3 or 4 leaves per pot.
Mom always used them for pot roast, and gravy. Until recently, I had never thought to use them in my sauce for pasta, until the BF told me he had heard of it.

Chinese Factory
My previous work, particularly in Turkey raised questions about how different cohorts of workers experience industrialisation and factory work. In the Turkish case, it was suggested that young workers were, if anything, rather more critical. This research, conducted with Wei Zhao, Labour Studies Centre, Beijing Normal University, China, is an attempt to investigate such dynamics using a case study of a specific factory in China.
Aims of Project
This project is based on interviews with 500 workers, mostly from one SOE in the auto manufacturing sector, in Wuhan, China. It aims to systematically investigate differences between different cohorts of workers, utilising both qualitative data and data of a quantitative kind which partly replicates items used in previous research in other studies of East Asian countries and Brazil as well as Turkey. Additionally, it makes use of items employed in WERS 2004.
