The Power of Philanthropy
The Editors with Gabriel Charles Tyler and Tanisha Wallis | Photo: Jordana Wright Photography, Lori Allen, Jim Newberry and Ron Chaille | Portraits by Sandro | October 31, 2013
Chicago is best known for its food and sports, but when it comes to helping others, We're at the top of our game. Take a look at our list of the most inspiring people, places and parties the windy city has to offer.
Venue of the Season: Venue One
West Loop event space Venue One debuts some serious upgrades this fall. The all-inclusive, high-tech, 33,000-square-foot space is customizable to suit the needs of a sit-down dinner for 500 guests or cocktail reception for 800. Almost everything is handled in-house, thanks to husband-and-wife culinary team James and Rachel De Marte, full-service event design firm Event Creative, and an on-site staff of technicians and event managers. In other words, no more coordinating 10 different vendors to plan a killer party. And state-of-the-art technology is seamlessly built into the decor to convey an event's message in a chic, modern way through 30 HD video screens, LED color-changing lighting, a built-in sound system and a seamless plasma display wall. Plus, gala chairs can take advantage of the separate Innovation One Club, which provides tech-equipped meeting suites, Internet access and a print center—perfect for pre-party planning sessions. venueonechicago.com
Where to Shop: Neapolitan Collection
This Winnetka boutique was already one of our go-tos for stunning, one-of-a-kind gowns from designers like Alexander McQueen, Lanvin, Christian Dior and Saint Laurent, but owner Kelly Golden's new program, Gala Get Give, has us even more inclined to put down the plastic. When a gala chair purchases a dress from Neapolitan, Golden donates 20 percent of its price to the event. "We are excited to continue Neapolitan Collection's long history of giving back with this program," she says. "It allows us to focus our support on Chicago's many worthy charities, while helping dress the city's most philanthropically involved women." neapolitanonline.com
Marcus Lemonis: Lemonis Bridge Program
When he was a very young man, Camping World and Good Sam Enterprises chairman and CEO Marcus Lemonis received a memorable lesson in giving back: "My grandfather and Danny Thomas were part of the original group who started St. Jude's Children's Research Hospital," says Lemonis. "So they would do the Miracle Ball at the Fountainbleu in Miami, and they put me, as a very young child, in charge of security. And one year for entertainment we had Frank Sinatra. So I went up in his room in my red velvet tuxedo to tell him it was time to go on, and in the elevator on the way down I asked him, 'Do you enjoy these events?' And he said, 'You know, I get paid a lot of money to do events, but this is one I don't get paid to do because, as you get older, it's important to make sure you do things because they're right, not just because there's money involved.' I thought that was really something, coming from a guy like that." Lemonis never forgot the advice. Though he's extremely busy running his company and filming his CNBC reality show, The Profit, on which he invests his own money in distressed businesses, he still finds plenty of outlets for philanthropy—most recently by underwriting the Joffrey Ballet's Lemonis Bridge Program, which teaches ballet to kids in Chicago Public Schools. "What I'm passionate about is the discipline and the focus it provides for the kids," he says. "Kids need structure." That's far from his only goodwill effort in Chicago, though. Among other initiatives, Lemonis also sponsors a program for young musicians at Ravinia and was responsible for bringing in the surprise musical guests to the Zoo Ball for the last two years. Hey, who doesn't love a guy who pays for a Village People or KC & the Sunshine Band concert? "I mostly do youth programs," says Lemonis. "I find them to be the most enriching. It's easy to write checks, but you really want to get involved in the things you have a passion for." joffrey.org
Local Celeb: Lindsay Avner
After she became the youngest patient in the country to opt for a preventive double mastectomy at age 23, Lindsay Avner founded Bright Pink with a simple mission: to focus on risk reduction and early detection of breast and ovarian cancer in young women while providing support for high-risk individuals. Since 2007, the fast-growing nonprofit has spread to 15 cities, is the only one of its kind on a national scale and has garnered a celeb cult following, including Giuliana Rancic, who has openly spoken about her fondness for the charity as she recently battled breast cancer. "When I started this organization, it was because there was nothing out there focused on the 52 million women who have never been diagnosed," says Avner. "No one was talking to them in a way that was relevant, approachable and action-oriented." This fall, Bright Pink announces its Women's Philanthropic Initiative, which will launch in 2014. It's an opportunity for professional women to join the board with an annual $2,500 donation and become a vital part of fueling the org's mission and shaping key decisions as it continues to grow. Avner also is fostering a partnership with the Chicago Bulls to initiate outreach efforts targeting young African-American women. "We know African-American women in the Chicago area are 116 percent more likely to die from breast cancer than white women, and that's a really startling statistic," she says. "I'm proud of the foundation we've built, but now it's about exponential growth—the kind of massive growth and impact that doesn't just save dozens of lives, but thousands." brightpink.org
Three Boards To Be On
The Board Costume Council of the Chicago History Museum The Mission Founded in 1974, the Costume Council maintains the museum's exhibitions and collection of costumes and artifacts, the world's second largest with pieces dating back to the 1720s. The Board The Guild of the Chicago Botanic Garden The Mission Its direction enables the Garden to maintain its grounds, provide educational programs, and execute the scientific research necessary to enhance and preserve our environment. The Board Founders' Board of Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children's Hospital of Chicago The Mission The board helps Lurie provide the most advanced and compassionate health care for children and their families through philanthropy and fundraising, and helps foster the hospital's growth.
Number Crunch: 87
The number of years the Woman's Board of Rush University Medical Center has hosted its annual fashion show, making the event the longest continuously running charitable fashion show in the country. Each year, local philanthropists and socialites take to the runway in designs from Ralph Lauren, Max Mara, Neapolitan Collection and more at this benefit, and for this year's event, which took place Oct. 17 at The Palmer House Hilton, the Woman's Board committed to raising $500,000 to benefit the diagnosis and treatment of lung cancer. thefashionshow.org

Robbie Gould: The Goulden Touch
As Bears placekicker Robbie Gould jokes, "Being a kicker, I have a lot of time to think." And those thoughts range from football—he is the third most accurate kicker in NFL history—to thinking up new events and activities for his popular charity, The Goulden Touch. Gould and his board of directors follow the four "Goulden" rules, which focus on making a local impact in the areas of education, social services, health and wellness, and medical research. "The sky is the limit for this charity," he explains. "The intent is to balance the importance of giving to others while making charitable giving enjoyable." Which means no black-tie galas for this Penn State grad; instead, he hosts events like the Run for the Gould 5K, the Strike Gould bowling tournament and the Goulden Touch Invitational golf tournament, which, this year, raised funds for Goulden Touch Field, a turf soccer and football field in the West Lawn neighborhood. (Each year, more than 12,000 children will use Goulden Touch Field.) "Anyone can put together a gala," Gould explains. "I like the ability to fundraise and work with a lot of things." So, does he ask his teammates to work on his projects? "A lot of them have charities, as well," he says. "But I will always let them know what is coming up." After all, this business major thinks it's his privilege to help others, and he loves making life better for as many people as possible.
"Truly I will never be able to give back as much as football gave me," he says. "But with this charity, I want to exceed all expectations." gouldentouch.org
Fast Growing Local Charity: A Better Chicago
When former Bain & Company management consultant Liam Krehbiel started A Better Chicago in 2010, his goal was simple: to provide funding and management support to high-performing nonprofits that advance opportunities for the region's low-income population. Goal accomplished. Since launching, A Better Chicago has raised more than $5 million, built partnerships with companies like Bain & Company, Latham & Watkins and Accenture, and most importantly, impacted the lives of more than 5,500 low-income Chicagoans (just in 2013!) in partnership with its grantees. "It's been an exciting three years," says Krehbiel. "We set out to build a more impactful way to move the needle for low-income Chicagoans, and we are doing that. When you are building something from scratch, there is a lot of learning along the way. Nothing ever goes exactly as planned. That said, I'm fired up about where we are headed. We are helping some truly incredible organizations to scale up their impact, and we are enabling donors to get the accountability and results that they want from their philanthropy. Lots more to do, but I feel like we are on the right path." abetterchicago.org
Gala Style: BeClothesMinded
When Heidy Best recently left Neiman Marcus after eight years as a personal shopper, she admits the decision was daunting. But focusing full-time on her fashion consulting firm, BeClothesMinded, has equipped her as the ultimate resource for event shopping for clients. "The big retailers—Saks Fifth Avenue, Barneys New York, Nordstrom—they have trunk shows year-round of designers offering evening options," she says. "So for a client who likes to know what she's wearing next season, she can pick out an item the store didn't buy to ensure she has something unique." Oftentimes, the store will even specify the client and event so that no one else will be wearing that gown. For women who aren't chairing the event, says Best, a shorter dress is acceptable, and she recommends brands like Hervé Léger and Alice + Olivia from Intermix. But not surprising, Neiman Marcus is still her haven. "They have a great high-low range for the client who's just starting her gown circuit, as well as an amazing floor of Oscar de la Renta and Valentino for the veteran philanthropist who wants to invest in great pieces knowing how many events she has throughout the year." beclothesminded.com
Lema Khorshid: Bizover
To call Lema Khorshid's résumé impressive would be an understatement. Highlights include nine years in the fashion industry producing fashion shows for Kenneth Cole, DKNY, Guess and Rebecca Taylor, which led to founding her own production company at age 22; six years consulting hospitality, fashion and entertainment clients on public relations and marketing strategies; and currently acting as one of the managing partners at Fuksa Khorshid LLC, where she handles corporate transactional and intellectual property legal matters for small to midsize businesses in Chicago and New York. And that's just on the business side of things. She also sits on the board of directors of The Light Project and the University of Illinois Entrepreneurship Advisory Council, was honored by the Daily Herald Business Ledger in 2009 as one of 22 influential Chicago women in business and has chaired several large-scale fundraisers to support educational initiatives for underprivileged communities. Not surprisingly, her charitable marketing initiative, BizOver, highlights the two facets of being a successful woman in business: "It's a networking platform for women entrepreneurs to grow their network, gaining mentors and contacts," says Khorshid. "And the second part [focuses] on the things women entrepreneurs tend to forget about, like taking care of themselves—to do good in business, you still have to look good." Through retail partners such as Neiman Marcus, BizOver's events create a platform for fascinating women to interact over cocktails, usually with a beauty or fashion element to the evening, like makeup tips from the pros or a fashion show of the newest trends. "People always say, 'When women become really successful, they don't help other women,'" she says. "Finding these women who are really successful but also give back to the community—that is so important." And connecting them with the next generation has become her passion. "If you're a woman entrepreneur, and you have a small business idea, it's sometimes such a far-reaching goal," she says. "But if you're in the room with a woman who's also juggling a lot and has grown a really successful business, then you'll leave the event saying, 'Oh my god, I met a really great person, and she's inspired me.' That makes the goal so much more reachable." fklawfirm.com

San Francisco 49ers running back Glen Coffee was missing from practice Thursday afternoon and Friday morning, without any explanation provided for his absence. On Friday afternoon, the second-year back again shockingly announced his retirement in the NFL after playing just one year inside the league.
With Coffee retiring the 49ers don't have a whole lot of depth in the backfield and now there is a query mark on what exactly are the 49ers heading to do now that Glen Coffee has retired?

An Accidental Find

Subject: An accidental find
Date: Friday, 3 December 2004
Hey, you guys rock!
I just typed "ten commandments" into Google and your site came out tops. I'm glad that it spared me looking at some biased zealot site. Good to know there's something organized going on out there.
I've been an atheist practically since before I knew what I was doing, though I did go through the routine Roman Catholic instruction and ceremonies during childhood and adolescence under the none too strict ægis of parents and other grown-ups as far as religion was concerned. So it's okay to have picked up an ethical thing or two while retaining my freedom.
Eventually I turned in a letter of resignation and was never bothered to reconsider. I am for goodness in its own right and always in the light of judiciousness and self-respect. To find ideas I had come by on my own and quite alone reflected on your website has given me great pleasure.
Best wishes,

Not that we're not biased, of course, we're just biased in the right direction, that's all!
No wonder this humble file is outpacing the entire rest of the web site on our stats list!
Number One on Google!? as in "I'm Feeling Lucky!"? Whoa! Talk about an "accidental find"!
I've been scratching my head over this one for months! "Why is this thing so damn popular all of a sudden!?" Thanks for solving that real-life riddle!
By the way, we are Charter Googlers, here, having input every single file we had (at the time) before Google even announced their existence to the World. I hear that doesn't account for anything, but even if it did, that wouldn't be something they'd want many people to know!
Take care!

Dear Trearch,
I'd like to thank you wholeheartedly for your inventive and entertaining Black Ops map packs. While plenty of other gamers out there whine and moan about the supposed lack of innovation in your Call of Duty titles, I embrace your Zombie-fests and ability to implement fascinating and interesting things in your effort to expand the Black Ops experience.
Sure, your fourth Black Ops downloadable content in 'Rezurrection' might include four maps from your 2008 hit, Call of Duty: World at War, but its your inclusion of a thoroughly engaging, entertaining and eerie map in 'Moon' that has me in full praise for what is probably your last Black Ops effort.
Yours truly,
A Call of Duty fanboy.
OK, so I've given my thanks to Treyarch for their Black Ops effort, but how is Rezurrection? Is this fourth map pack the Black Ops farewell fans of the game deserve?
If you're not especially fond of the Zombies mode in Treyarch's Call of Duty titles, 'Rezurrection' might not have much worth to you. This is a map pack aimed directly at Zombie devotees, so there's really no excuse to complain about any lack of variety on offer here. The focus here is on 'Moon', and it's an entertaining enough experience to justify a purchase.
What I especially loved about 'Moon' is that it is quite relentless in offering a very stressful environment, and it quite obviously strives to keep you constantly active and anxious as to what's coming up.
There's a bunch of new stuff included on the map, and Treyarch really has taken full advantage of the concept. Low gravity and low oxygen both influence how the map plays out, and these elements have a very strong affect on the ways in which you should approach certain instances (as can be seen in the above-linked Easter Egg tutorial).
The difficulty on Moon is something that must be applauded, as it creates a sense of urgency that has normally been reserved for later stages in previous Zombies affairs. Things get very hectic very early, and the map offers a very challenging and fast-paced battle of zombie-killing experience.
With the action taking place in such a strange environment, gameplay functionality is compromised, which might annoy some more seasoned Zombie gamers. This is a different pacing from what you might be used to, fueled by a low-pressurized, low-gravity environment. The gravity plays quite heavily into how both you and zombies move around the landscape, and it definitely takes a little while to get used to.
This leads into a much steeper learning curve then when compared to other Zombie modes. Zombies come at you more frequently but ultimately in a different capacity, as the environment has such an affect on how they interact with the world. It's a welcomed change to the experience, as it mixes up how you actually play a mode that was arguably starting to feel a little dated and repetitive.
There is one awesome new zombie that ups the ante quite considerably, especially in later missions. This special zombie spawns randomly into an astronaut suit, taking so much damage to the point where it expands and explodes in an awesome spray of blood and guts. This beast doesn't actually count towards your final kill total for a round, but they do contribute to a very tense and stressful battlezone that is already severely compromised by the environment's gravity (or lack thereof).
Two new weapons in the Wave Gun and Quantum Entanglement Device are specific to the map. Wave Gun is great fun: it swells up zombies to the point of explosion, which makes for a very satisfying kill. The Quantum Entanglement Device is interesting: it has 11 (yes, 11!) different functions, all random. It takes up the second tactical grenade slot and when thrown can do anything from reviving a teammate, act as a turret, or doing absolutely nothing at all. It's a weapon that perfectly compliments the eeriness and mysteriousness of the Moon map, and is a welcomed addition to the weapon arsenal.
There's quite a lot to the Moon map, and while it isn't the only thing to come included in Rezurrection it quite obviously takes center stage. This DLC is all about the secrets and mysterious of the illustrious Moon map, and it's well worth exploring.

What is the Ultimate Answer to Life, the Universe and Everything?

i wonder if almost literally not playing for a month+ had anything to do with his immediate-use devaluation...seriously.
i still wonder what he was doing while he was up besides enjoying meal money, riding on planes, and having the cleanest uniform on the team.
RYNO: With one exception, a player on an MLB DL can be traded. The only exception is during the waiver period that begins at 5 PM (Eastern) on July 31st.
NOTE: Because July 31st falls on a Sunday in 2016, the "non-waiver" trade deadline will be extended one day (to 4 PM Eastern on August 1st) in 2016 (only).
Across 6 different seasons (1128 PAs), Federowicz has demolished AAA pitching to the tune of a .910 OPS. Even though the eyeball test this year says he might be closer to the .542 OPS he's posted in only 298 MLB PAs, it's kind of surprising there isn't a single team out there willing to take a chance on him being an acceptable bat and plus defense catcher.
Weird. I respect Chapman's body of work, but I guess I don't value closers as much as Brennaman. Also, Schwarber can't be traded? For some reason I have it in my head you can't trade a guy on the DL.
Jesse Rogers [email protected]
Cubs catcher Tim Federowicz cleared waivers and is reporting back to Triple-A Iowa
@thekapman Marty Brennaman on trading Schwarber for Aroldis Chapman: "I would carry Schwarber on my back to NYC if I was getting Aroldis Chapman back."
Brian Peters @thekapman that is one DUMB mfer you're talking to, Kap.
The lineup 6-8 is looking a bit shaky.
Yeah, I have fond memories of old #28. He was a good field, no hit CF when he came up with the Mets, but later on in Chicago he had learned how to work the count and then demolish 3-2 fastballs. (Wish Javy Baez had the concept.) I remember, in '69 or '70, someone (maybe Durocher) saying that Hickman and Joe Torre were about the two best righty hitters in the league.
The Tim Federowicz DFA expires today (Monday 6/27) .
Unfortunately, Peralta is indeed an extreme flyball pitcher. Even when he was at his best (2011-14) he surrendered a lot of HR.
He has had significantly better success versus LH hitters than versus RH hitters, thanks to a plus-splitter. So he will probably be used like a LHRP (even though he is a RHP).
"is the wind blowing out or in?"
"get peralta up."
Joel Peralta was one of Maddon's bullpen guys in Tampa Bay.
Well there is no "You go, we go" without Fowler. The last week has showed how important he is to the Cubs.
I imagine the Cubs getting back on track once we get some DL players back, but hopefully sooner rather than later.
Well, there you have it. Bullpen fixed. Time to move onto the World Series.
I hope it is Jack Leathersich.

The sellers of this Palo Santo Wood ($15) are making promises about the magic powers of incense that would do a snake oil salesman proud. But still... a stick that can get rid of both hangovers and mosquitos? If it even makes either of them a little easier to bear, we'd consider our money well-spent.

Governments must act now to reduce the huge cost of ageing populations, the International Monetary Fund is warning.
The Washington-based lender of last resort says that if, by 2050, everybody lives three years longer than is now expected, the vast cost of ageing will surge by 50 per cent, according to its Global Financial Stability Report, to be published next week.
"More attention to longevity risk is warranted now, given the size of its financial impact, and because the effective mitigation measures take years to bear fruit," the report says.
It adds that life expectancy has increased by much more

The initial three, federally-funded TRIO programs began in 1964 in an effort to create equal access to higher education for all Americans. At that time, the U.S. Congress established the series of programs to help Americans who were low-income, first-generation college (neither parent has a bachelor's degree) or disabled enter college, graduate and move on to participate more fully in America's economic and social life.
Today there are seven TRIO programs. All are funded under Title IV of the Higher Education Act of 1965 and designed to help students overcome class, social and cultural barriers to higher education.
TRIO programs help by providing such activities as college preparation, academic advising and counseling, career exploration, tutoring, financial aid and scholarship counseling. ARCC and NHCC have each been hosts for the Student Support Services/TRIO since 1991 and ARCC secured an Upward Bound/TRIO grant in 1998.
This reception and inspirational presentation is free and open to the public.
Please contact Shelly Siegel, NHCC Director Student Support Services/TRIO at 763-424-0904 if you have questions about the event or would like to attend.

I want to have a few folders on a partition whose contents I can freely edit, but outside nothing should be saved.
Specifically, I want the folders in my Home (Documents, Music, etc) on a different partition, but rest of the normally hidden folders remain in the main partition with Ubuntu. I can make the files within the Home folders save in another partition using
fstab binding, but I still can't think of how to lock the partition from edits outside those folders. I'm open to suggestions of alternatives to binding - but please, no symbolic links.

The cockpit demonstrator for the F-35 Lightning II, a 5th Generation fighter jet was showcased by Lockheed Martin Wednesday morning at GKN Aerospace in Blue Ash to local officials and media. GKN makes several components for the fighter jet including the canopy and parts for the internal engine.
According to GKN vice president and general manager James Burkhardt the company has about 250 local employees working on components for the F-35. Work on the F-35 has resulted in 15 or 20 new jobs at GKN, and there is the potential for more work that could add an additional 10 to 15 jobs. GKN is hosting a career fair on Sept. 6 at its Deerfield Road facility to fill those positions. GKN has invested about $13 million in the Cincinnati area as part of its commitment to the F-35. GKN Aerospace is one of the world's largest independent first tier suppliers to the global aviation industry. With over 100 years aerospace experience, they employ approximately 12,000 people in more than 35 facilities across 4 continents.
Congressman Brad Wenstrup estimates that there are 3,000 jobs in our area directly and indirectly tied to the F-35 project. Wenstrup, who supports the F-35, is an Iraq war veteran and Army reservist. Rep. Brad Wenstrup was one of many local officials and F-35 supporters that checked out the flight simulator The F-35 cockpit demonstrator uses the same technology to train the pilots who fly the plane. Lockheed Martin has been taking the mobile cockpit simulator to companies who make the components for the F-35 such as GKN.
The F-35 combines advanced stealth with fighter speed and agility. The advanced stealth design allows pilots to penetrate areas without being detected by radars that earlier designed fighters cannot evade. Three variants of the F-35 will replace many of the US aging fighter inventories including the A-10 and F-16 for the U.S. Air Force, the F/A-18 for the U.S. Navy, the F/A-18 and AV-8B Harrier for the U.S. Marine Corps, and a variety of fighters for at least ten other countries.
F-35 Joint Strike Fighter program has continued a steady path of flight test milestones in August, including weapons separation, software compatibility and flight hours, all demonstrating program maturity. TheF-35 is a family of single-seat, single-engine, fifth-generation multirole fighters to perform ground attack, reconnaissance, and air defense missions with stealth capability. There are three main variants; the F-35A is a conventional takeoff and landing variant (CTOL) for the US Air Force , the F-35B is a short take-off and vertical-landing variant (STOVL) for the U.S. Marine Corps , and the F-35C is a carrier-based variant for the US Navy.

Have Gun - Will TravelTiger - Season 3, Episode 11 - Nov. 28, 1959 - Paladin receives a bank draft for $1000 asking him to "come kill a tiger before it kills me." In his host's mind this tiger curse is warranted as he wounded a tiger while in India and it came back to a village only to slaughter 100 of its residents. Paladin then learns of a circus coming to town. Its main attraction - a tiger!

Jazz vocalist Kurt Elling is on the repeat roster at The Dakota in downtown Minneapolis, where he graced the stage once again last Thursday the 13th, with two sold out sets the night before Valentine's Day. The crowd was his usual staunchly dedicated over fifty following, hustling to their seats the moment the doors opened, and sending the server and front of house staff into an organizational tizzy. Being friends with one of the band members has it's perks: Bypass the massive crowd awaiting entrance at the front door by entering through the side, and watch the stampede as an on-looker, instead of a participant.
Once the drinks had been served and the food ordered, everyone settled in, martinis in hand, (when in Rome) and awaited the flurry of sound.
If you've seen Elling perform in the past, you may be reassured to know that he has stayed faithful to the recipe and template that has kept his audiences at his feet for years. Even with a large gap between seeing an Elling performance (seven years in my case), one can still expect to see what has become so quintessentially unique about this jazz singer:
The man's voice is clearly virtuosic, flexible, and beyond able. His tone puts him in a different category than the crooner variety of modern jazz singers (read Michael Buble, perhaps Gregory Porter), which is part of his trademark – beauty can bend into ugly from time to time, but oh, doesn't it actually make it all sound more wonderful? Some would call it artistry. But there is an unmistakable element of schtick in his set choice, delivery, and conversation between songs. Key to the way that he uses his music to interact with the crowd, the banter screams of a time when jazz was in it's heyday, and audiences were flocking to be entertained by this music, and by the front men of the musicians that played it.
He started with a bang – a modern arrangement of the classic "Let's Fly Away." Complete with raucous shifts in aggression, throwing the music in your face, just in case you were paying too close attention to your plate. It pumped your blood and got your foot tapping, if only for the first few minutes. A playground for each member of the band, no doubt, displaying their individual skill and virtuosity. His musicians are no slouches. (Would you expect anything less?) Xavier Davis on piano, John McClean on guitar, Clark Sommers on bass, and a last-minute fly-in of a drummer from Chicago in Christian Euman, when the weather that's been beating the East Coast prevented the regularly scheduled Kendrick Scott from joining in.
The program was varied, and well-tailored, leaving a little something for every type of vocal jazz fan. A Portuguese number that changed tonalities as soon as your ears adjusted to the current one; a ballad that tapped into your own memories by way of his; a solo bass intro lasting several minutes, where Elling's speech and Sommers' strings danced together, intertwined in friendly banter. The man even beat boxed, trading ideas with his young drummer, displaying every last trick in his bag. The crowd was in his palm, and the music was in his soul, indicating that this act isn't in jeopardy of disappearing any time soon.

Cloud-Based Project Portfolio Management Gains Steam
By Sylvie MacKenzie, Director, Marketing-Oracle on Jul 15, 2013
The report noted that "IT project and portfolio management (PPM) leaders are under extreme pressure to improve the speed, accuracy, and agility of their project organization, while also managing risks and costs. They are looking for software solutions that can support these seemingly conflicting objectives. For years, the IT PPM software market standardized on on-premises or traditional hosting for deployment of IT PPM software functionality, but with the continued maturity of the internet as an enterprise computing platform, on-premises and traditional hosting have given way to another viable option—cloud-based IT PPM application services deployment."
The Gartner report offers nine key factors describing when and why an organization might choose a cloud-based IT PPM service provider over a traditional provider, including an immediate need for mainstream functionality that can be delivered rapidly and as a service, a lower likelihood of needing to extensively customize the solution, and a smaller or growing organization that is seeking a short-term solution, cost-effective solution.
"Oracle's Instantis EnterpriseTrack offers a number of complementary solutions and capabilities for the Oracle portfolio," says Wayne Caccamo, a former Instantis executive and now part of the Oracle Primavera team. Instantis EnterpriseTrack is a market leader for lighter-weight project environments, such as IT, new product development, and process improvement. This complements Oracle's traditional strengths in the capital planning, maintenance, and manufacturing environments that are prevalent in asset-intensive industries.
Instantis EnterpriseTrack has been successfully integrated into the Oracle development process, and the first release from Oracle is generally available. This release is a significant expansion of its capabilities in resource management, project demand management, and project execution. It also includes customer-requested product enhancements, reporting enhancements, performance optimizations, and user experience improvements.

Dvd Release Date: 2000-11-28
Genre: Drama, Comedy
Rating: PG-13
Duration: 1hr 45min
Success is often a matter of blind luck, and some deserving people, talented in their own right, never get a crack at it. Such has been the fate of Shane "Footsteps" Falco, once a hot All American prospect on the football field. Shane can only regret what's behind him, and can't even begin to imagine what's ahead. But Fate is not through with Shane. When League players decide to strike, leaving the prospect of empty fields (and equally empty stadiums) for team owners to contemplate, the Washington Sentinels scramble for a solution. When they bring contentious and self-retired head coach Jimmy McGinty back into the fold, McGinty seeks out players who will play with their hearts rather than their wallets. For the League, the situation is a disaster, but for Shane and a mismatched crew of outsiders, it's a second chance to grab at sports stardom. As they amaze everyone with their winning streak, the ragtag group discovers in itself the ability to hope for more than they ever thought possible, maybe even the playoffs, which has been denied to the Sentinels for seven years.

We are currently working on the following projects:
- testing the Equivalence Principle with high sensitivity and the greatest practical generality. We are currently sensitive to equivalence-principle violating interactions with Yukawa ranges between infinity and 1cm. Our existing sensitivity for long-ranged interactions is at the 10-13 level.
- searching for short range inverse-square law violating interactions with ranges of less than 1mm. One notable prediction suggests that gravity penetrates extra, compact dimensions so that the gravitational inverse square law must be modified at short ranges. Arkani-Hamed, Dimopoulos, and Dvali have offered this as an explanation of the hierarchy problem. Our current experiment will be sensitive to this effect if gravity exists in six dimensions. Check out our first paper on the short range experiment and a recent update
- searching for CPT-violating fields and for new spin-dependent forces that could arise from torsion fields or from exchange of axion-like particles. These projects are done using electron-spin-polarized test bodies and/or sources that have virtually no external magnetic fields.
- measuring the Newtonian Constant G using a novel technique. This is the most poorly determined fundamental constant; the CODATA value has an uncertainty of 0.0128%. Recently the German PTB (their Institute of Standards) obtained a value differing from the CODATA value by 0.5%! The leading sources of systematic error in the existing CODATA value are uncertainties in the mass distribution of the torsion pendulum and effects of anelesticity in the torsion fiber. We have invented a new technique that virtually eliminates both of these sources of error.
We currently operate four torsion pendulum instruments (Eöt-Wash II, Eöt-Wash III, Big G, and Short-Range). The Eöt-Wash and Big G instruments are continuously rotating torsion balances. The Short-Range inverse-square experiment is being done with a stationary balance that sits just above a rotating attractor.

I took my first photos in the 1940's with a Brownie Reflex. I got serious about photography in the late 1950's, and have been an active amateur photographer ever since. When digital photography first appeared I swore I would never convert. Now I would never go back to film! My current photographic inspiration comes from The Bloomington Photography Club. It is a amalgam of all levels of photography, but all interested in learning, sharing and doing photography.

College Hockey:Carr turns aside 25 to guide Massachusetts-Lowell over Vermont
LOWELL, Mass. — The No. 9 Massachusetts-Lowell River Hawks took the first game of a weekend series against Vermont on Friday night by a final of 3-1.
With the win, the River Hawks improve to 17-7-0 overall and 12-6-0 in Hockey East competition. With Merrimack's loss to Boston University, and Maine being idle from league play, the win leapfrogs Lowell into third place in the conference.
"It was a big two points against a really good hockey team," said Mass.-Lowell coach Norm Bazin. "I don't like to look at [the standings] because your play can get very, very poor when you start focusing on that. I think our focus needs to be on tomorrow night because that's going to be a great matchup."
On the opposite end of the spectrum, the loss drops the Catamounts to 5-19-1 overall and a last place 2-15-1 in conference play. The defeat may have extinguished any chance that Vermont had at claiming the final Hockey East playoff spot.
After a chippy start to the game, it was Catamounts that got on the board first, scoring a little over six minutes into the game. After working the puck into the UML zone, Drew MacKenzie sent the puck along the blue line to his defense partner, Nick Bruneteau, who wristed the puck through traffic and past River Hawk goaltender Doug Carr for his second goal of the season.
Mass.-Lowell came back strong after the goal against, dominating the possession game and outshooting Vermont 15-11. Despite the clear advantage, goaltender Alex Vazzano stood tall in net and kept the River Hawks scoreless through the first period.
Despite being outplayed through most of the first half of the second stanza, the River Hawks were able to level the score at 1-1 on a goal by Joseph Pendenza. Working the puck around behind the net, Terence Wallin was able to get past the goal line and fire a low angle shot on net. The puck was deflected by Matt Ferreira in front of the net to an open Pendzenza, who slammed it home for his eighth tally of the season.
Just five minutes later, Lowell took its first lead of the night on a goal by Riley Wetmore. Skating in three-on-two, Derek Arnold held the puck to allow his teammates to enter the Vermont zone. He then sent the puck down to Scott Wilson along the goal line, who made a perfect pass to Wetmore to give the River Hawks a 2-1 lead. The goal was Wetmore's first in 13 games.
"It was a bit of a relief for it to go in and get that monkey off my back," said Wetmore. "It was all about the effort tonight and that paid off for us."
After an extended delay caused by Wilson being checked through the glass at neutral ice, the River Hawks scored to increase their lead to 3-1. Skating in two-on-one, Wilson sent a pass to Arnold, who quickly sent the puck back to Wilson for an easy tap in.
The two teams skated at a back and forth pace until the last two minutes of the game when Lowell defenseman Chad Ruhwedel was called for tripping at 17:53.
With the power play, Vermont coach Kevin Sneddon elected to pull Vazzano to create a two-man advantage for the final two minutes. While the Catamounts were able to move the puck well with the extra skater, the River Hawks penalty kill came up big, blocking several shots and shutting down any solid chances as time expired.
"I thought it was a good hockey game and I really liked our effort coming out of the gate tonight," said Sneddon. "There's two teams out there, we know that momentum's going to go back and forth, so we need to make sure to minimize our mistakes to have a good game tomorrow."
Neither team was able to click on the man advantage in two attempts each.
Carr turned away 25 of the 26 shots he face en route to his 16th victory of the season.
At the other end, Vazzano had a strong night in the losing effort, stopping 38 of the 41 pucks sent his way, while falling to 1-4-0 on the year.
The two clubs will battle for the season series tomorrow night at the Tsongas Center.

Arterial tonometry is a method to assess arterial stiffness and has become a valuable tool in the stratification of cardiovascular risk. The arterial tonometry-derived augmentation index (AIx) is a marker of arterial stiffness and an independent predictor of mortality. As the AIx is relatively cumbersome to obtain, simpler methods such as analysis of pulse waves obtained by digital photoplethysmography have been proposed to estimate arterial stiffness. The objective of this study is to compare the usefulness of the stiffness index (SI) derived from digital photoplethysmography and the AIx derived from radial tonometry for stratification of cardiovascular risk. We studied 83 subjects with a heterogeneous cardiovascular risk profile and determined the ability of the two devices to differentiate subjects with low from subjects with high cardiovascular risk estimated by the Europe (EU)-heart score. Failure rate in both devices was similar (3.6%). AIx and SI were modestly correlated (r=0.48, P<0.001) and both indexes correlated with the EU-score (r=0.54, P<0.001) and (r=0.56, P<0.001), respectively. Both devices discriminated accurately between subjects with high cardiovascular risk (upper tertile of the EU-score) and low cardiovascular risk (lower tertile). However, only the SI differentiated significantly between subjects with intermediate risk (middle tertile) and high risk (upper tertile). Compared with the AIx, assessment of the SI derived by digital photoplethysmography is simple and possibly yields an advantage in risk stratification of subjects with intermediate and high cardiovascular risk. Therefore, digital pulse wave analysis may be a valuable tool to estimate arterial stiffness in large clinical studies.

Austin Smotherman
Oct. 29, 2013
DALLAS (SMU) - Mustangs Sophomore Austin Smotherman tied for second at the Royal Oaks Intercollegiate, finishing the event at 10-under par, as SMU placed fifth after the end of the two-day event at the Royal Oaks Country Club in Dallas, Texas, on Tuesday.
The result is the best of Smotherman's career. He fired a final round of 68 to be one of just four participants to record three sub-70 rounds in the tournament.
"It was great to see Austin play so well and give himself a chance to win," SMU Head Coach Josh Gregory said.
Fellow sophomore Bryson Dechambeau tied for fifth after carding birdies on each of his last four holes to score a 65, tying him for low round of the day. Dechambeau has finished in the top five in every tournament this season.
"Bryson is a model of consistency," Gregory said. "To shoot a 65 today is very impressive."
Oklahoma State won the six-count-five tournament by 16 strokes over Stanford. Baylor placed third, while New Mexico and SMU rounded out the top five. Of the 12 competing squads, six entered the event ranked in the top 25.
"This was a great field and we beat two top-10 teams so it's another positive step for us," Gregory said. "We just have to get more help from the rest of the lineup and then we can win."
Oklahoma State's Kevin Dougherty birdied the 18th hole to move to 11-under and gain sole possession of first place. A par would have meant Smotherman, along with Dougherty's teammate Wyndham Clark, would have shared the tournament victory.
SMU will play its final tournament of the fall at the Gifford Collegiate starting Nov. 4. The two-day event will take place in Newport Beach, Calif.

One game into the 2014 season, and C.J. Wilson already finds himself in a familiar situation.
The southpaw will look to get the first win of the young season for himself and his teammates as the Angels face off against the Seattle Mariners in the middle game of a three-game set at Angel Stadium.
Last season, Wilson ended up being thrust into the role of staff ace following an injury to Jered Weaver and responded by setting a career high with 17 victories, with five of those wins coming after a loss by the Halos.
He'll also be facing a team in the Mariners that he has had plenty of success against.
In 54 career appearances against Seattle (17 starts), Wilson is 14-6 with a 3.54 ERA and 134 strikeouts in 140 innings. The numbers also include seven saves when the 33-year-old was a reliever and eventually the closer for the Texas Rangers from 2007-09.
The Angels will also look to get the bullpen back on track following an ugly 2014 debut. In the team's season opening 10-3 loss on Monday, the relief corps was hammered for six runs in the ninth inning, five of them charged to Kevin Jepsen.
The hard-throwing right-hander struck out Mike Zunino and Abraham Almonte to start the inning, but then was hit hard as Brad Miller singled, Robinson Cano doubled and Justin Smoak homered to put the game away. Jepsen was yanked two batters later after walking both Logan Morrison and Kyle Seager.
Offensively, the Angels managed to get three runs off starter Felix Hernandez courtesy of a two-run homer by Mike Trout in the first inning and an RBI double by Albert Pujols in the third.
However, Hernandez settled down after that, allowing just two baserunners in his final three innings of work.
Seattle will send out Erasmo Ramirez in the second game.
Normally further down in the rotation, Ramirez gets the start after Hernandez while Hisashi Iwakuma continues his recovery from a torn tendon on his pitching hand suffered during early Spring workouts.
The 23-year-old righty is 0-2 in three career starts against the Angels, but with a solid 2.41 ERA in 18-2/3 innings of work.

Psystar Files Reply Brief
- July 29th, 2010
- Apple Legal News, Psystar
- dizzle
Hot on the heels of my last report, Psystar has filed its Reply Brief in response to Apple.
Copyright Misuse
Psystar asserts that copyright only governs copying and not restrictions on use. Even at first blush, this appears absurd. I cannot play a non-copied movie for a public audience at a theater. Psystar (in my opinion) deceptively spins Alcatel in claiming:
For all Apple's attempts to distinguish that case, R. Br. at 35-37 — the only case about use of a copyright in an operating system to control the user's choice of hardware, and thus the only case squarely on point – Apple must admit that the Fifth Circuit held that it was misuse to prevent a competitor from offering compatible, cheaper hardware for use with a copyrighted operating system.
Here is a link to the case. Read it for yourself. Psystar conveniently ignores the fact that the case deal with hardware components (replacement parts).
It pulls a similar sleight of hand with the Practice Management case. In that matter, the AMA tried to prohibit the use of competing medical codes, not to control the use of their own medical codes. Psystar remarkably tries to claim that this is even more damning to Apple. Huh? Once again, please go read the case for yourself.
Stifling Creativity
Of course Psystar denies Apple's position that their copyright restrictions do not stifle creativity. But once again Psystar falls into dysfunctional thinking. Apple's claim was that there is no dampening of creativity to create competing operating systems. Psystar claims that it stifles competition creativity in hardware systems that can run Apple's work. But that is not the focus in determining copyright abuse.
At last! Psystar makes a relevant and accurate representation. It states that Triad (link to case) is distinguishable since the Triad software was never sold apart from the hardware while Apple does sell the operating systems separately and wants to control after-purchase use.
But then they straight into Oz:
(Page 10) Finally, it is worth taking a step back to look at a strange feature of Apple's position. Apple admits that if it required OS X to be the only operating system that a user used on his Macintosh, then that would be copyright misuse. R. Br. at 34-35. But Apple denies that, if, instead of creating an exclusive operating system, it required that its operating system system be used exclusively on Macintoshes, that would be copyright misuse. It cannot be that misuse exists where a copyright owner tries to use copyright to make his copyrighted work exclusive, but not when he tries to use copyright to make an adjunct, uncopyrighted work exclusive.
No. No. No. Apple stated that if (and didn't even state this on the pages cited by Psystar which say nothing of the kind) it required its buyers of OS X not to use other operating systems AT ALL (no mention was made of using them on a Macintosh) than THAT would be misuse. I have to wonder if there is a just an abysmal lack of reading comprehension or a blatant attempt to mislead the Court.
Scope of the Injunction
Psystar holds firm to its assertion that it didn't need to accept the California Court's invitation to examine Rebel EFI when it believed that the Court had no jurisdiction to do so since that issue was first-filed before the Florida Court. Psystar claims, "Apple's discussion of the injunction misses this point entirely." (Page 11) Huh? Apple addressed this specifically and at length (Pages 43 through 45).
Sealing Orders
Psystar clarifies that its basis to remove the sealing orders was that the information appeared in publications that Apple's own experts admitted were authoritative. Since I don't have access to all of the documents needed to assess this assertion, I cannot make a judgment. However, if the quality of analysis is similar to what came before, hope does not spring eternal.
Grammar Nazi nitpick: When filing a Federal Brief, one should know about the wonderful world of em-dashes.

Whenever a front and back door (or a front/back window) in a house are left open...other doors within the house are caused to SLAM shut....this is due to the "emberflupe" or "draft" caused by both doors being open at the same time.
When I came home from work and came into the house one day, the dining room door suddenly slammed shut causing a picture to drop off the wall, my husband yelled, "Close the fricken front door, the back door is opened too and it's causing a damned emberflupe!!!!

If it were up to the media, the head of the embattled owner of the Indianapolis Colts, Jim Irsay, would already be on the pike. The decision from NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell on the punishment for Irsay's intoxicated joyride through the streets of Carmel, IN would have been swift, decisive, and heavy.
If it were up to the media, Jim Irsay would be Donald Sterling 2.0.
Thankfully, though, the fate of Irsay isn't in the hands of the media. And it shouldn't be.
The requests for Irsay's demise have poured in from the Boston Globe, the NFLPA media desk, and even USA Today. They want Goodell to make an example of Irsay. They want the punishment to be so severe that no player, owner, or NFL employee will ever think about taking drugs again.
If only it were that easy, and therein lies the problem.
NBA Commissioner Adam Silver was fortunate, in a sense, in how he was allowed to handle the Donald Sterling situation. Racism is an issue that is almost universally non-tolerated by the public, and even more divisive in a league that is dominated by African-American players.
But being an ignorant bigot is not illegal.
Therefore, Silver was allowed the luxury to operate in confines outside those of the legal system. Due process is not needed in the court of public opinion, and the severe punishment laid down on Sterling from Silver was lauded by all.
In essence, Silver had free reign to lay down whatever punishment he wanted, without worry of any backlash. His only caveat was that he needed to act quickly to avoid the appearance of being soft, as is always the case with mob mentality media, and he did so.
But the situation with Goodell and Irsay is far more complex than that of Silver and Sterling.
For one, there's the legal issue. Irsay was initially charged with four felonies, and could have faced jail time if they stuck. But what someone is initially charged with is often much different when the formal charges are filed. Initial charges are based primarily on probable cause and police reports, while the formal charges are based on what prosecutors believe they can legitimately secure a guilty conviction on.
In the real courts, not that of public opinion, it takes time for the prosecutors to sort through all the statements and evidence and build a concrete story of what they believe actually happened.
And while most of the media believes Irsay's situation is cut-and-dry, after all, he was caught behind the wheel, intoxicated, with a boatload of cash in a trash bag, it would have been unfair for Goodell to punish Irsay over a legal issue before the actual charges were even announced.
In the case of Irsay, he now only faces two misdemeanors. Meaning, a "swift and heavy" decision on Irsay directly after the incident would have, most likely, been far more severe and damning than what it will be now.
I can see the opposition's argument against those last few statements though; that the NFL rulebook clearly states that employees, players, and owners agree that they should be held to a "higher standard" for conduct that operates outside the confines of the court.
I get that.
But the issue here is on punishment, particularly the severity of it. Clearly, Irsay will be punished for his drug use, no one is arguing that point, but it doesn't make sense to act "swiftly" in the case of Irsay. His punishment will be based on the totality of his misdeeds, and his drug use is just a portion of it. The rest of Irsay's mistakes are crimes, which needs time to be sorted out.
And there's another issue at play here, and that is the fact that Irsay is not Sterling on a personal level as well. Sterling's comments reveal a man who thinks less of an entire race of people, while Irsay's actions reveal a man who thinks less of solely himself.
Irsay did commit a crime, but thankfully it was victimless. The only person that truly suffered after that arrest was Irsay; a man who, apparently, had been suffering in his head for a long, long time before he was pulled over that fateful evening.
In the case of Irsay, there's no dogs, no victimized women, and no race of people demanding justice. Just a tired shell of a once strong man that has been punishing himself for years over crimes he committed in his mind.
It is quite evident that Irsay's battle with his demons is going to be a lifelong one, and to punish a man, however deservedly, by taking away the one thing that keeps him holding onto life deserves the time and attention Goodell is taking.
Make no mistake, I agree that Goodell should/ is going to punish Jim Irsay severely, but allow the commissioner the benefit of gathering all the facts. Irsay's case is far more complex than that of Donald Sterling, and more than likely, Irsay's punishment is going to be monumental in its severity.
Such a case deserves the attention to detail.

Men's Tennis Opens Against Hurricanes, Seminoles
Courtesy: BCUathletics.com
Release: 01/18/2013
GAINESVILLE, Fla. - The Bethune-Cookman men's tennis team has a daunting opening weekend for its 2013 spring schedule: Miami and Florida State.
Coming off a 14-14 last season, the Wildcats face the 65th ranked Hurricanes on neutral grounds at the University of Florida Saturday, then trek to Tallahassee to face the 32nd ranked Seminoles Monday afternoon.
"You want to provide your players an opportunity to play against the best," said second-year coach Tim Pleasant. "Facing Miami and FSU back-to-back is as big as you can get. The guys are looking forward to the opportunity."
Moritz Pronath: The sophomore got off to a 10-3 start and was 11-7 when a broken finger ended his 2012 spring season early. He returned to action this fall and won the "C" at the HBCU National tournament.
"He can be a breakout performer," Pleasant said of Pronath. "His game is deceiving."
Diego Garavito: The sophomore was 8-12 overall, but was 5-3 in play at No. 4 singles and 12-10 and doubles plays.
"I'm looking forward to seeing what Diego can do," Pleasant said. "There are some expectations."
Juan Varon and Seve Day: Varon was named to the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference second team last season, but emerged with Day as a dominant doubles team during the fall with two tournament championship and a seven-match winning streak.
Home Opener: Feb. 1 vs. Palm Beach Atlantic.

I recently rented some shared space on WinHost.com (Basic package). I deployed a single ASP MVC3 application that uses NHibernate. It is a very lean app and I have profiled it for memory leaks and on my local IIS 6.1 I never have a problem with it.
However, when deployed to WinHost, the app pool keeps recycling. Their Support say that the Basic package gives you a max app pool size of 100M. I have the same app code running on their Max package and Support tell me that it uses 130MB of its 200MB limit.
Before I run off and upgrade my Basic package to Max, does anyone know if that is a typical size for a lightweight ASP MVC app. It doesn't use session or cache and has very thin pages. It just seems odd to me that you cannot run a single ASP application on their basic package. Are they only designed for static sites or something?
