Long Trade
What I Am Looking At:
Outperforming on a year-to-date basis, up more than 11% and up 170% since the July 2012 bottom.
Underperforming on a year-over-year basis, down 33%.
$60 round number level appears to be next target over intermediate to longer-term.
Recent bounce from the 40-day moving average, 0% year-to-date level, and the 50 level on relative strength index (RSI) could be start of a new leg up.
Heavy March call open interest resides at the 45-strike, possible delta-hedge could create a tailwind for shares in the short-term.
March implied volatility is at cheapest level during past 52 weeks.
Short interest peaked and falling since last November but still represents a lofty 21% of the float, could be in short-covering mode.
Five out of nine analysts rate the shares a "hold" or worse, potential for upgrades.
Short-term target of $51.33, triple the 2012 low, longer-term target $60.

text: Three and a half years ago, I had a moment of weakness, and bought a house built in 1956. The fifty year old trees shading it were a big selling point. Till the first Fall. When softball sized hedge apples drop 30 feet to the roof. Sounds like someone kicking in the door. The first time I ran through the house with an 870, a Streamlight, and two excited dogs, was an adrenilin rush. Two or three apples later, when it bounced a couple times, and I saw it hit the ground outside the atrium, I mellowed out. But three years later, when one hits the roof at 11 pm, I still dang near toss the laptop across the room. And the dogs are just as excited as the first time. Should I just load the 10/22 with CCI Stingers, and blast them off the limbs?

I was wed in this dress in 2003, and then, foolishly, I stuck it in a closet and neglected to clean it. Opening the garment bag 10 years later, I see that a few small stains have set in. Presumably they can be cleaned, and if not, perhaps the dress can be salvaged in some other way. The fabric and embroidery are lovely.
The label was Size 16, but I wore a 10-12 in street clothes at the time (5'5 and 155 lbs). The dress was altered at Kleinfeld's in Brooklyn, NY: Bust (39.5), Waist (31), Hips (40). The length was listed as standard.

Actor Isaiah Washington who's been a force on the indie movie scene is returning to his old television home. The film and television star will don the scrubs again for an appearance on "Grey's Anatomy" according to The Hollywood Reporter on Thursday.

Washington will reprise his role as the popular character Dr. Preston Burke for one episode on the medical drama. Showrunner Shonda Rhimes says Washinton's return will help close the storyline involving departing actress Sandra Oh whose character Dr. Christina Yang was once involved with Burke.
Since his controversial exit from "Grey's Anatomy" Washington has found work in independent movies. He starred in the critically acclaimed 2013 film "Blue Caprice" for which he was nominated for a Gotham Award. Washington also stars in "Blackbird" with Oscar winner Mo'Nique from director Patrik-Ian Polk, helmer John Sayles' "Go For Sisters", Russ Parr's "The Undershepherd" and will be seen in director Matthew A. Cherry's sports drama about concussions "Game Time Decision".

Date: February 21 2013
IBF featherweight world champion Billy Dib is determined to capitalise on a huge opportunity headlining an American fight card and parlay it into even bigger bouts.
Dib (35-1, 21 KOs) flew out from Sydney on Wednesday to make his third title defence against 11th-ranked IBF contender Evgeny Gradovich (15-0, 8 KOs) at the Foxwoods Resort in Mashantucket, Connecticut on March 1.
It will be Dib's first title defence in a year, though he did have a non-title contest last July.
More significantly, it will be the 27-year-old Sydneysider's first fight in the US for four-and-a-half years since his points loss to then-WBO featherweight champion Steve Luevano.
"It's huge. Not only am I going to fight in America on ESPN, but I'm headlining the card, which is humungous," Dib said.
"They are talking about the event going to over 100 million homes, so that's a phenomenal number and I'm just glad that I'm getting my opportunity."
A victory and good performance could boost Dib's career, with a potential title unification bout mooted.
"That's the aim and that's the goal," Dib said.
Russian-born Gradovich, 26, who has had all of his fights in the US and is based in North Carolina, was a late replacement for Cuban Luis Franco.
Dib wasn't fussed by the change of opponent or styles.
"It doesn't really have an effect on me. I'm a professional," Dib said. "I think Franco was a little bit smarter. This bloke throws a lot more punches. He's a little bit more reckless.
"I guess with Franco I was going to be dealing with ring smarts.
"With this guy I'm going to be dealing with a guy that brings a lot of pressure and non-stop punching."
Dib will be headlining the first card to be promoted by American rapper 50 Cent and expects something very different to a standard boxing show.
"50 Cent is going to bring excitement. Not only is he bringing boxing but he is bringing the entertainment world into the sport, which is one of the reasons why I've signed to him," Dib said.

Secrets of Success
Attitude is Everything
Thursday, June 28, 2012
My pregnancy symptoms had eased up a bit last week, to the point that I thought the worst was over. Well, the universe saw fit to tell me otherwise this week, lol. Acid stomach, fatigue, inability to concentrate are all back in force. Tuesday was the third worst day I've had and I almost went home sick. (I'm glad I stuck it out, though, because a coworker brought in frozen yogurt that made both my belly and my soul feel better and the social time let me fill up the day without having to take time off.) I haven't been getting quite enough sleep - I can "only" seem to find time for 8 hours a night and a 90 minute nap in the afternoon, so I'm getting really worn down. Today is a so-so day and it's going to be a rough weekend because I'm having ingrown toenails removed from both big toes tomorrow. This surgery will be harder than the others because the doctor is going to cut them down to the root so that I never have to have surgery again. And because I'm pregnant I can't have the good painkillers or any anti-inflammatories. DH said we're going to treat this weekend as a dry run for bedrest (we're planning for the worst but hoping for the best, and bedrest is a very real possibility). He's going to set me up in a nest on either the couch or the bed, whichever I prefer, and not let me get up unnecessarily. He's in charge of cooking and I am forbidden to worry about household chores. Single ladies: he does have a younger brother!
So what does this have to do with attitude? I'm not letting any of this get me down. I take it moment by moment and do the best I can. Sometimes that means I'm running at full capacity, other times that means spending the afternoon looking at lolcats and waiting for 3 p.m. so I can go home. The way I look at it, the discomfort is inevitable. But the way I manage it and deal with it are completely up to me. I've gotten over my resistance to taking pills or using medication, at least the ones that I'm currently allowed to take, and am taking as sunny an outlook as I'm capable of at any given moment. I'm also treating myself as I can: this afternoon I have a prenatal massage after work and tomorrow I'm getting a fabulous Good Dog sundae at a local lunch spot before surgery. (Fudge brownie, mint chocolate chip ice cream, and hot fudge - split with DH to minimize the quantity.) I figure that self-pity and wallowing in my misery will only make me feel worse, not better. And why inflict that on myself?
My plan seems to be working based on the fact that I make it through the day without meltdowns or undue difficulties - and the kudos I'm receiving from those around me. About every other day DH tells me how beautifully I'm handling this as he tucks me into bed. Today alone two coworkers told me that they're impressed by my attitude. The woman told me that listening to what's going on with me makes her fear pregnancy and I told her not to because it's so worth it - and the cool factor of seeing the beans in sonograms and ultrasounds and the cool factor of the expanding belly far outweigh the discomfort. I'm not sure I convinced her, but I did get a gratifying look - "I'm not sure if you're crazy, but I admire you."
The guy I talked to is a retired Master Sergeant in the Army. He told me that he wishes his soldiers had always had an attitude as good as mine - I complain a lot less with a lot more real problems. High praise indeed!
Plus I'm at the tail end of the first trimester, and the light at the end of the tunnel gets brighter every day. I'm looking forward to being able to eat normally and have my old energy level - and brain power! - back. In the meantime, I'm counting on my positive attitude, Tylenol, and Zantac to get me through the days.

Jen, you have such a great attitude, you really do. I'm praying for a quick recovery from surgery and God bless your hubby! I'm glad you are being well taken care of, and I agree w/ the Sgt., more people should have this positive outlook!! You are doing yourself, and those babies a real favor, they feel everything you do, so being as stress free as possible is such a gift you are giving them.

LOL, we are all crazy, but it is worth it! I admire you too. I can't imagine having foot surgery in the 1st tri. But it's smart to get it done now before you have two little ones and foot issues!
You are completely AWESOME! And your Hubby is pretty awesome too. Take care and stay positive.

Yellow can be soft or bright, but however it's used, it's one of the most versatile hues that homeowners can introduce into their home design. Virtually any color goes well with yellow, and the brown tones in hardwood floors are no exception. The walnut flooring in Anderson's Vintage 5-inch floor collection is a good example of natural wood complementing the various shades of yellow.
A classic combination that stems from the Provence region of France is yellow and blue, which is most frequently used in country decorating. But there's a new twist on this color duo in a recent trend that mixes shades of blue with warm metals like gold and burnished brass. According to Houzz, navy and other deep blues really bring out the luster of brass and gold hardware on furnishings.
The website featured this combo in a variety of room designs. Most often, a dark blue living room sofa was paired with sconces, lamp bases and other metallic accessories. With this colorscape, creamy yellow is a great neutral color to use on walls and ceilings. In kitchens, cabinetry that's painted dark blue with brass or gold drawer and door pulls is also a popular new style.
For something more casual and better suited to a den or family room, painting the back wall of white bookcases in dark blue allows the books and decorative accessories to pop against the bold background. A series of brass library lights attached to the wall above the shelving finished the project featured on Houzz.
Gold is the new yellow
If gold is a favorite shade of homeowners, they can try a gold shade of yellow as a main color in their homes. The look varies from a sophisticated mustard yellow that lends drama in a dining room to a sunnier yellow that's at home in kitchens or bathroom, according to Real Simple magazine. If there's an alcove or dark corner that needs brightening, yellow can save it from the color doldrums. For contrast, medium gray or deep charcoal offer an alternative to shades of brown.
Picture frames around mirrors and lighting fixtures, including chandeliers, are among the home accessories that can introduce gold into a design scheme. If home decorators have accessories in a different metallic shade that's looking dated, they can give them a new look with spray paint. But beware of the shiny varieties - softer, burnished metallics have a classier look.

"The Real Housewives of Atlanta" star Cynthia Bailey may be close with NeNe Leakes, but she hasn't been super close with her co-star, Phaedra Parks. Cynthia doesn't call Phaedra when she needs a shoulder to cry on, so it isn't surprising that Phaedra hasn't called Cynthia after the news of her husband's fraud charges this week. According to a new Radar Online report published on Jan. 27, "The Real Housewives of Atlanta" star Cynthia Bailey is now offering her thoughts on Apollo's recent fraud charges.
Earlier this week, Apollo made headlines because he was being charged with fraud and identity theft. He had supposedly started various businesses with a fake name and he surrendered when the police showed up to arrest him. He is currently out on bail. But Cynthia hasn't reached out to Phaedra or Apollo about this issue.
"I read about it. I don't like to call people when I hear bad news. I think Peter did speak to Apollo, though, earlier today and he said they were taking care of everything. Hopefully everything will work out," Cynthia told Andy Cohen during an episode of "Watch What Happens Live."
Are you surprised that she hasn't reached out?

The tangent is one of the three basic trigonometric functions, the other two being sine and cosine. These functions are essential to the study of triangles and relate the angles of the triangle to its sides. The simplest definition of the tangent uses the ratios of the sides of a right triangle, and modern methods express this function as the sum of an infinite series. Tangents can be calculated directly when the lengths of the sides of the right triangle are known and can also be derived from other trigonometric functions.
Items you will need
- Calculator with trigonometric functions
Identify and label the parts of a right triangle. The right angle will be at vertex C, and the side opposite it will be the hypotenuse h. The angle θ will be at vertex A, and the remaining vertex will be B. The side adjacent to angle θ will be side b and the side opposite angle θ will be side a. The two sides of a triangle that are not the hypotenuse are known as the legs of the triangle.
Define the tangent. The tangent of an angle is defined as the ratio of the length of the side opposite the angle to the length of the side adjacent to the angle. In the case of the triangle in Step 1, tan θ = a/b.
Determine the tangent for a simple right triangle. For example, the legs of an isosceles right triangle are equal, so a/b = tan θ = 1. The angles are also equal so θ = 45 degrees. Therefore, tan 45 degrees = 1.
Derive the tangent from the other trigonometric functions. Since sine θ = a/h and cosine θ = b/h, then sine θ / cosine θ = (a/h) / (b/h) = a/b = tan θ. Therefore, tan θ = sine θ / cosine θ.
Calculate the tangent for any angle and desired accuracy: sin x = x - x^3/3! + x^5/5! - x^7/7! + ... cosine x = 1 - x^2/2! + x^4/4! - x^6/6! + ... So tan x = (x - x^3/3! + x^5/5! - x^7/7! + ...) / (1 - x^2/2! + x^4/4! - x^6/6! + ...)

Joshua Lederberg begins the interview with a discussion of his involvement in the contamination issues of planetary exploration. As interest in space exploration gained momentum, Lederberg was in the midst of discussion regarding protecting the Earth from possible extraterrestrial contamination. Lederberg felt that more emphasis needed to be placed on building a sound space program, one that focused more on planetary research rather than sending humans into space. Lederberg worked to develop alternatives to the "man-in-space" program, focusing on the importance for international cooperation. Lederberg served on several national committees, including the Space Science Board and the Kennedy Health Transition Team. After receiving the Nobel Prize in 1958, Lederberg joined the faculty of Stanford University, where he continued his life-long research in the genetic structure and function in microorganisms. Lederberg continued to be actively involved in artificial intelligence research and in the NASA experimental programs seeking life on Mars. He has also been a consultant on health-related matters for both the U.S. and international communities, serving on the World Health Organization's Advisory Health Research Council. Lederberg wrote his own column on a wide variety of topics, both scientific and non-scientific. Lederberg concludes the interview with a discussion of the environment at Stanford University during the Cold War and thoughts on U.S. defense projects.

During her 2014 Black History Month tour, journalist and philanthropic advocate Soledad O'Brien will visit 15 cities, including Charlotte on Tuesday, February 18. She will lecture and lead a panel discussion on the topic, "Black In America -- a Town Hall Tour" sponsored by PNC Bank® and presented by the Harvey B. Gantt Center for African-American Arts + Culture. Ms. O'Brien's appearance will be at the Knight Theater at 7:00 p.m. General admission is $20 and student tickets at a reduced rate will be sold at the door.
With paternal Irish-Australian and maternal Afro-Cuban roots, her family heritage has provided special insights on this topic, also the theme for her CNN documentary series. She comments,
"My consciousness about race was really implanted in me by my parents. I'm black because my parents said I'm black. I'm black because my mother's black. I'm black because I grew up in a family of all black people. I knew I was black because I grew up in an all-white neighborhood."
O'Brien, former CNN journalist and mother of 4 children, has been busy making great strides since leaving the Atlanta based outfit last March, 2013. She started her own Starfish Media Group, and her independent production company now produces documentaries for CNN. She has also taken on the task of being a special correspondent for Al Jazeera America. She reports for HBO's "Real Sports", and is discussing projects with PBS. She will assume hosting duties for the National Geographic Bee, relieving Alex Trebek. Two movies, one for theatrical release and one made for TV feature are in the works. Look for articles to be published n Essence and Latina Magazines.

Written by Dylan Callaghan
The new Fox sci-fi series Terra Nova is epic in scope, boasting futuristic time portals, dinosaurs, and earth's imminent demise. It's also had an epic number of writers contribute along a somewhat fraught path to its two-hour premiere.
Nova was originally conceived by British writer Kelly Marcel, who, as show lore now goes (yes, they already have show lore!), successfully pitched the idea to producer Aaron Kaplan in a London pub over a couple of pints. According to EP Brannon Braga (Star Trek: The Next Generation, 24), from that fortuitous start, the fingerprints of many scribes would follow.
"There were a lot of writers that had a hand in this," he says, adding that fellow EP Rene Echevarria was instrumental in writing the series opener. "It was a long, tormented and tormenting, but ultimately rewarding, process because the script turned out wonderfully." It is a story steeped in loads of sci-fi yumminess: a future earth population on the brink of extinction and a "fracture in time" that gives them a second chance 85 million years earlier among the dinosaurs. But more than anything, Braga says this is the story of one ordinary family, the Shannons.
Braga spoke with the Writers Guild of America, West Web site about the unusual genesis of the series, the challenge of a two-hour premiere and how, without wanting to compare the two, he sees a connection between Terra Nova and Gone With the Wind.
Obviously, this is a great example of a development process that involved a lot of writers, but do you think it's one that the series is ultimately better for?
I wouldn't recommend this process to anyone. In fact, it is not typical. This was just a script that was a very challenging concept to get right [and] turning a one-hour into a two-hour had to be done just right. You never want to do something unless you can do it right. A two-hour pilot on television has to move in all the right ways. It's a lot to ask of an audience to sit for two hours when they're used to the hour.
It had a lot of production challenges. It's a very ambitious television show. There was a lot of scrutiny applied to the script, and it was very hard.
With its futuristic/prehistoric sci-fi storyline and the ordinary family at its center, Terra Nova is kind of a genre mashup. What do you consider it to be?
A family adventure. That's what took the longest to nail down in the writing of the pilot, the family component; turning them into three-dimensional, relatable people despite the madness going on around them.
We've coined this "an intimate epic." There's tons of stuff going on here spanning millions of years, but at the center of it all is a family. That's really what it's about. I hesitate to use this analogy because I'm not comparing them, but Gone With the Wind was not about the Civil War. It was an epic, but it was about how it affected one house…
Ironically, called Tara.
You know, strangely enough, you're pointing that out, and I never even considered that. Totally unintentional. But the magic solution here is that everything is told from the perspective of this one family. That's what makes it work.
One of the sub-themes seems to be global environmentalism à la Avatar. You even have actor Steven Lang [who also stars in Avatar]. How big a theme do you think that will be throughout the series?
The idea of an environmental message is not a part of this show at all. It is an element that is present, but it would be a challenge to make a show where that was a major theme. It sounds pretty dull, quite frankly. Al Gore managed to make a pretty entertaining documentary about it, but that's not what our show is about. Our show's about people and what they're capable of. It's not just the environment they screwed up. As episodes progress, you'll see that a lot of bad things happened including some terrible wars and acts of brutality that caused the complete collapse of human civilization.
So what the show's about is second chances and starting over and the question [are] people are even capable of that?
So far the show seems to using a straightforward narrative style, unlike the sort of Lost approach. Will it continue to be straightforward or will there be some jumping back and forth.
This is not an experiment in narrative deconstruction, no. We pretty much chose to tell good old-fashioned stories. Having said that, there are some narrative flashbacks that we deploy later on in the season that are pretty cool. It's for the sake of the storytelling and never in a gimmicky way.
How many writers are working on the series?
Eight, including me and Rene.
With that aforementioned family vibe, how conscious are you of how edgy you can get here? How edgy to do you want to get?
It's funny, we're not thinking [about it]. We're aware but, look, this is a show where dinosaurs eat people, and people get strange parasites they have to have removed. All sorts of weird, gross, scary stuff happens on the show. It's part of the appeal of show. It's all in how it's depicted.
Are there gross out and scare factors? Yeah, but it's done in a tasteful way. I do believe there will be a viewer discretion warning at the top of the show. I think they're referring to the fact that there's going to be some scary dinosaur stuff.

In their last match before Christmas, the Portsmouth Destroyers beat Oxford Brookes University Panthers to continue their winning streak with their fourth victory out of four matches this year.
Once again, there was a referee shortage, meaning coaches from both teams had to step up. There was an eerie atmosphere at Langstone; the boys were eager to prove that they could improve their game and no more 'hell Tuesdays' (brutal training sessions) were needed. As this was a home game, the Destroyers were supported by Portsmouth's cheerleading squad, who were making sure the boy's egos remained intact.
The first quarter started well for the Destroyers after a 28yd pass from quarterback Ben Clift was caught by wide receiver Taofeeq Adeyemi for his first touchdown as a Destroyer. A further 2 points were added by running back Tomi Olusanya, leaving the 1st quarter score at 8-0 to the Destroyers.
However, the OBU Panthers soon hit back early in the second quarter with a 33yd field goal, giving them 3 points on the board, which was to be the only score during the second quarter.
After a quick word from the coaches and a swift performance from the cheerleaders, the teams were back on the field for the third quarter, both determined to improve on their first half performance. Once more the Destroyer's offensive-line were failing at letting their offense get vital yards.
A few fumbles and failed interceptions later, running back Brook Ince made a 5yd touchdown run for a further 6 points for Portsmouth. The 2 point conversion failed, but Portsmouth were still leading by 11 points.
The fourth quarter also included a few failed interceptions from Portsmouth, letting the ball literally slip through their fingers. But the wait soon paid off and Brook Ince made another run, this time for 7yds, for his second touchdown of the game. Once more, the 2 point conversion failed, but with the clock still running, it didn't look like the Panthers could bring it back.
The match finished 20-3 to the Destroyers.The match finished 20-3 to the Destroyers.
Laurence Pestell won not one but two chicken dinners for his outstanding performance on the field and Anthony 'Afo' Black also performed exceptionally making at least 5 vital tackles.
The Destroyers now enter their long Christmas break at 4-0 and joint top of the league table before their training starts again in January. They next face Team Solent Redhawks away on the 5th February – the same day as the NFL Superbowl.

|Women's tennis falls to Hawai`i
HONOLULU, Hawai'i - The Idaho women's tennis team had its five-match win streak snapped on Friday as it fell 4-2 to Western Athletic Conference foe Hawai'i.
The Vandals dropped the top four singles matches before Molly Knox and Yvette Ly picked up wins at No. 5 and 6. The doubles point was not played due to rain. Idaho's last loss was back on Feb. 27 against Montana.
"This was a tough loss," Idaho coach Tyler Neill said. "Hawai'i is a very good team that is strong at the top of their lineup. We didn't play bad, but we need to find a way to compete a little better at the top."
Victoria Lozano fell 6-2; 6-2 at No. 1 singles and Lauren Simpson retired after trailing 6-0; 3-0 at No. 2 for the Vandals. Silvia Irimescu lost 6-3; 6-1 at No. 3 and Barbara Maciocha fell 6-3; 6-0 at No. 4. Knox was leading 3-2 in the decisive third set when her opponent Alyssa Nafarrete retired at No. 5, and Ly won 6-4; 6-4 at No. 6.
"I think our team's depth really showed today," Neill said. "Molly and Yvette both played very nice singles matches. Molly competed very well, coming back from the first set to win her match. Hopefully we can bounce back quickly and use this loss to improve in our next match."
The loss drops Idaho to 9-4 on the season and 1-2 in WAC play. The Vandals are back in action in Honolulu on Saturday as they face Louisiana Tech in another WAC match. Idaho wraps up its Hawai'i trip with a non-conference showdown against Chaminade on April 3.

Ecclestone trial stopped for $100 million
A German court has halted a bribery trial against Bernie Ecclestone in exchange for his paying a $100 million fee.PT1M30S 620 349
- Comment: Bernie Eclestone always gets his way
- Q & A: The Ecclestone case
- Ecclestone relieved at bribery trial deal
A German court ruled on Tuesday that Formula One tycoon Bernie Ecclestone can pay a $US100 million ($A108.2 million) settlement to end his bribery trial.
Now likely to stay at the F1 helm, the 83-year-old struck an accord with prosecutors on the huge payment which then received the Munich tribunal's blessing.

"The proceedings will be temporarily suspended with the agreement of the prosecution and the accused," pending payment of the settlement within one week, the judge said.
The $100 million payment is reportedly the largest of its kind in German criminal justice history, with $99 million to go to the Bavarian state coffers and $1 million to a "child hospice foundation".
Ecclestone had been asked whether he could make the payment within a week, to which he replied: "Yes".
Ecclestone went on trial in April on charges of paying $US44 million ($A47.6 million) to Bavarian bank executive Gerhard Gribkowsky in 2006-07 to help maintain his four-decade grip on Formula One.
A settlement is allowed in German criminal cases if prosecutors, aggrieved parties and the court agree, but the Ecclestone deal has stoked fierce criticism.
Court spokesman Andrea Titz said the judges had determined that a conviction was "not particularly likely" based on the evidence presented so far. Proceedings had been scheduled to last at least until October.
Under the terms, Ecclestone will not have a criminal record and should be able to retain his control of the multi-billion-dollar F1 empire.
He has attended most of the hearings and arrived at the courthouse on Tuesday in a limousine, looking relaxed and accompanied by his young wife Fabiana Flosi.
There was angry condemnation of the legal proviso that allowed defendants to "buy" a dismissal in some instances.
Former justice minister Sabine Leutheusser-Schnarrenberger had earlier blasted the possible Ecclestone deal as galling and "not in harmony with the sense and purpose of our legal practices".
She called on lawmakers to tighten or eliminate - the loophole, designed to expedite cases before overburdened courts, with sums based on the defendant's financial means.
The Sueddeutsche Zeitung lashed out: "the briber is supposed to be washed clean with a spectacular payment.
"The saying goes 'money doesn't stink' but that's wrong here: these millions stink to high heaven."
Top-selling Bild denounced "the bitter impression that not everyone is equal before the law".
Ecclestone had denied any wrongdoing, but could have been jailed for 10 years if convicted.
He was accused of paying Gribkowsky to ensure F1 shares held by BayernLB were sold to Ecclestone's preferred bidder, CVC Capital Partners of Britain - now the sport's majority shareholder.
Ecclestone admitted paying the money but said it was to end blackmail threats that the banker would hand over information about the Briton's tax affairs.
Gribkowsky is serving more than eight years in jail.
CVC Capital had said if Ecclestone was convicted, he would be removed as president and chief executive of Formula One Management.

FCA Coaches Ministry Academy Visits Bethune-Cookman
Courtesy: BCUathletics.com
Release: 05/11/2013
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. – Over 70 college athletic chaplains and ministers from around the world made the effort to visit Bethune-Cookman University on Friday to appreciate how the Wildcats Athletic Department seamlessly blends the ministry into its daily experience.
The Fellowship of Christian Athletes (FCA) week long Coaches Ministry Academy concluded with a visit to the Larry R. Handfield Athletic Training Center – as well as a stop at the World's Most Famous Beach afterwards – to hear B-CU Director of Athletics Lynn W. Thompson and the B-CU coaching staff bears witness.
Academy Director Jeff Duke sought out a trip to B-CU for the group, which included representatives from Pakistan, Malaysia and Italy to see what the FCA describes as a "three dimensional program" with three parts. They include The Coach leads at a high level; The Coach is not afraid to step into the lives of the athletes; and The Coach is on a journey themselves.
"It's evident that what is going on at Bethune-Cookman is something tremendous," Duke said. "It's very rare to see this happen, but it is real, it is deep, it's effective and it's a legacy that will live on forever. This is a blessing for us to have been here."
Thompson shifted from the role of Director of Athletics into the Minister of Athletics as the presentation began with the story of B-CU founder Dr. Mary McLeod Bethune – the famed origin story of five little girls, a $1.50 and faith in God – and went into a breakdown of how both traditional and non-traditional means have been employed to spread the word to over 300 student-athletes each year.
"So much is at stake, you have to use non-traditional methods," Thompson said. "When you're dealing with attitudes, egos and personalities, you have to do whatever it takes to let the word of God pierce them."
One method was on full display through the ATC's Team Room – full-sized posters featuring Wildcats coaches and players, accompanied by scriptures to convey a theme. Any player appearing in that poster gets to keep it upon graduating from B-CU.
"Our role is to put the word in them, but we saw the idea and said `let's put them in the word' as well," Thompson said. "They become the message."
Thompson relies on his coaches to help in the ministry and shared the three things he's looking for in all his staff from head coach to graduate assistant.
"You have to have a servant's heart. You have to serve if you want to be able to lead. You have to have passion, which stems from the same unconditional love Jesus Christ has for us. You have to have the capacity to teach. A great coach is a great teacher who has the rare ability to take him or her with you and make you relevant," Thompson said.
"It's our calling to have everyone feel the Holy Spirit and hear the good news of who they are," Thompson continued. "Coaching is a hands-on ministry, and we make it a point that our coaches understand they have the power and responsibility to shape the lives of generations of young men and women through their own daily walk."

Knowledge and the Means of Knowledge - 19
kuntimaddi sadananda <kuntimaddisada@...>
We are discussing Vedanta ParibhASha of Darmaraaja Advarindra, as I understand. VP addresses briefly the ontological status of pariNAma and Vivarta aspects of creation and then discusses the status of silver that is seen where nacre is. Because of the importance of this topic, we provide some detailed analysis of creation as a transformation. Knowledge and the Means of knowledge -19 Creation as a transformation: Vedanta says Brahman is one without a second – ekam, eva, advitiiyam. One, alone, without a second, and Shankara comments on the use of these three separate words – ekam, eva and advitiiyam – to negate differences of any kind. Three kinds of differences can exist; vijaati, sajaati and swagata bhedas and hence Shankara says three separate words are used by the scripture only to negate all these three types of differences. Differences between different genus (says trees different from stones – vijaati bheda), differences within the same genus or family (among the trees say mango tree is different from coconut tree, etc – sajaati bhedas) and differences within a unit or vyakti (in a tree the roots, branches, leaves, fruits, etc are different- swagata bhedas). The differences exist because all objects are made up of parts. In Brahman, since it is one without a second, there is nothing else to differentiate it from. Hence scriptures also call Brahman as agotram – meaning it does not belong to any family or genus since it is one without a second. It is undifferentiated homogeneous mass of consciousness defined by Vedas as prajnaanam brahma. We have discussed this before that it is a swaruupa lakshaNam of Brahman implying that consciousness is Brahman and Brahman is consciousness. Since consciousness has to exist, Brahman is also defined as pure existence. Being one without a second Brahman has to be limitless or anantam which also means that it is of the nature of pure aananda swaruupam. Implication of all this is that there cannot be anything other than Brahman, and therefore there cannot be anything other than pure undifferentiated infinite existence-consciousness. The question then arises as to how to explain the universe of things and beings consisting of many conscious and inert entities. Brahman, a conscious entity without a second appear to transform itself into many(Continue reading)

After months of speculation, punishment has finally been levied against Baltimore Ravens running back Ray Rice by the NFL. According to NFL Media Insider Ian Rapoport, the league suspended Rice for the first two games of the 2014 NFL regular season on Thurs. He will also be fined $58,000 and be asked by the NFL to take counseling.
The 27-year-old Rice found himself in hot water in Feb., when he allegedly struck his wife (then fiancée) Janay, rendering her unconscious. A video appeared to show Rice dragging his unconscious partner out of an Atlantic City casino. Rice was accepted into a pre-trial intervention program, thus avoiding prosecution.
The Ravens have supported Rice throughout the ordeal, but agree that punishment is warranted.
"There are consequences when you make a mistake like that," said Ravens head coach John Harbaugh. "I stand behind Ray, he's a heck of a guy, he's done everything right since. He makes a mistake, he's gonna have to pay a consequence."
After four straight campaigns with at least 1,000 rushing yards, Rice had a down year last season. In 15 games, he rushed for 660 yards and four touchdowns. He also had 321 receiving yards. The seven-year veteran has 6,180 career rushing yards and 3,034 receiving yards, with 43 total touchdowns.
Both of the games Rice will miss come against division rivals in the Cincinnati Bengals and the Pittsburgh Steelers. In his absence, the Ravens will likely turn to Bernard Pierce and Justin Forsett at running back. Rookie Lorenzo Taliaferro may also see some carries.
"I think we have a lot of depth at running back," said general manager Ozzie Newsome. "We'll just see how it plays out, a lot of competition in there and I like our guys and looking forward to seeing how they do."

text: 10 September 2013 archive See all show photos IT'S always a tricky time at a house when the announcement has been made of the departure of one designer and news of the next, and yet, that new guard isn't in place to present the new collection. It's a game of fashion limbo, and show-goers are an impatient lot, wanting to fast-forward through to the bit that we know is coming, which is Luella Bartley and pal, Katie Hillier. But today at Marc by Marc Jacobs, there was the matter of Jacobs' swansong. He opened with a series of Sixties-style looks in slinky silk jersey Op Art prints, he called the swirling lines "radio waves". Boyish, washed-satin tailoring and pyjama suits (not going anywhere, anytime soon) followed. Teamed with knotted neckerchiefs and ponyskin hi-tops, it had a Nineties sensibility. The sports-inflected jumpsuits and skater dresses, however, in brassy high-shine satin were less convincing (it looked like they had taken their cue from eastern European athletic team costumes – so too, that recurring flame motif), but come nighttime, Jacobs relied on his house signatures in the shape of sequin slips worn over long-sleeved T-shirts, and a galaxy of star prints. Now, we can hit fast forward. Sarah Harris Continue reading Back to top

The battle to keep invasive Asian carp out of Lake Erie and the Great Lakes continues, and so far the results are good.
The latest success has been reported after an extensive effort to search three Ohio rivers found none of the invasive species of bighead or silver carp, according to the Ohio Department of Natural Resources Division of Wildlife.
When water samples taken from the Muskingum River showed traces of Asian carp environmental DNA (eDNA), the Division of Wildlife and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service deployed electrofishing crews to search for live Asian carp. They worked 125 sites in June along the length of the Muskingum River, as well as portions of the Tuscarawas and Walhonding rivers. No bighead or silver carp were found.
Similar eDNA was found in the western basin of Lake Erie last year, but no bighead or silver carp were found.
Testing the three rivers is significant, since there is a tie-in to Lake Erie at Killbuck Creek and a connection between the Tuscarawas River and the Little Cuyahoga River at the Ohio-Erie Canal. Where the rivers link up with those spots have been identified by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers as potential aquatic pathways between the Mississippi-Ohio River and Lake Erie. There are large numbers of Asian carp in the Ohio River.
While Ohio has obviously made a strong effort to keep the carp out of Lake Erie, the major battle is still going on to keep them out of Lake Michigan in and around Chicago. The electronic barriers in the Chicago shipping channel have been holding their own, but how many carp can get around those barriers by entering the lake through other streams is unknown. In some parts of the Illinois River, commercial fishing and electrofishing have been taking place with large numbers of the fish removed.
"We've taken over 2.1 million pounds since 2010," said Kevin Irons of Illinois DNR. "We've taken as many as 80,000 or 100,000 pounds in a given week."
After two years of research, the Army Corps of Engineers recently presented Congress with eight potential plans for protecting the Great Lakes. The proposal that's received the most attention would cut-off Lake Michigan from Chicago's waterways with permanent barriers. That plan could take 25 years to complete and would cost in the neighborhood of $18 billion, it has been estimated. And when you add the estimated $200 million annually that commercial shippers would lose, it's a very expensive solution.

Duck stamp going up
Waterfowl hunters can expect to pay an extra $10 in the near future, because a price increase for the federal duck stamp is on the way.
The U.S. House of Representatives' Natural Resources Committee moved a bill onto the House floor on Wednesday that would raise the Federal Migratory Bird Hunting and Conservation Stamp from $15 to $25 annually.
The bill should sail through the House and Senate, since it is considered a user fee and would have no impact on federal spending. The plan for the extra money is to improve conservation easements with private landowners. That use for the new money has the blessing of Ducks Unlimited because it should increase waterfowl numbers in future years.
It would be the first increase in the duck stamp price since 1991.

Reviews for Cherry Bars
"Very good. Will make again. I added 1/2 tsp almond extract, instead of the 1/4th. I also had to increase the baking time to 40-45 mins. I used powdered sugar, instead of the icing."
"With a few minor differences this has been a favorite recipe in my home and community for a good many years. We use only 1 can of cherry filling--I cannot imagine how wet it would be with 2 cans. Try using an apricot pie filling for another very special treat. Haven't made them for quite some time but we all cut them to be a generous size so the yield is not 60 out of a jelly roll size pan.farmerjoy"
"Made these today as a valentine surprise for home!! They are so easy...excellent flavor..everyone loves them!! Made exactly as written. Will try again with blueberry pie filling, and raspberry. Bet they would be great with Lemon Curd, too!!"
"We love these bars at my house! I have made them several times and have even taken some to school for a bake sale."
"Super easy to make. Like others recommended, I used only one can of pie filling, flipped the proportions of vanilla and almond extracts and sprinkled a handful of chocolate chips. Could also do without the drizzle, or at least reduce it by half. Hubby thought the bottom cookie was too thick, but I liked it. Next time, I'll reduce the dough on the bottom and add it to the top. I also baked it for 35 minutes and then turned the oven off and let it sit in there for another 5 min with the door cracked. It was perfectly done. 60 portions seems optimistic, but even small, bite-sized squares hold up nicely as a finger food dessert."

Sony Ericsson W890i (probably) surfaces on Polish Auction site
Some new, unannounced phones tend to appear in the most unlikely places.
While the dummy phone models turning up on E-Bay is nothing to write home about (we've had that with Nokia E65 last winter and with Nokia 8900 just last week), a working, unannounced Sony Ericsson Walkman prototype on a Polish auction site – is something new.
The phone, which looks like a successor of SE W880i and would probably become Sony Ericsson W890i Walkman, has been put on an auction this Saturday.
The listed specs for SE W890i include:
- GPRS, UMTS and Bluetooth connectivity
- 3.2 megapixel main camera
- front camera for video calls
- FM Radio
- menu layout like on SE k850i
- thickness – 12 mm
- 1 GB Memory Stick Micro M2 included
The live pictures for Sony Ericsson W890i look real enough and it does not look like a hoax.
Currently the highest bid for W890i Walkman is 530 Zloty (~140 EUR), which looks kinda low for a working next gen Walkman phone. But the auction is set to run for 5 more days, so the price is likely to go up.

Former star of IRT: Deadliest Roads was arrested on charges of first degree kidnapping, extortion and coercion. The reality star is due in court next month in Las Vegas. The show, IRT: Deadliest Roads is a reality television show on the History Channel.
Timothy Zickuhr appeared on the second season of the Ice Road Truckers spin-off series. Zickuhr was arrested and charged with assaulting a prostitute and forcing her to jump out of his second story bedroom window. The attack that he tried to cover up occurred in December and was revealed when the police report was released this week.
Clark County District Attorney's office spokeswoman revealed that Zickuhr is scheduled to appear in the Las Vegas Justice Court for his preliminary hearing in early May. Zickuhr posted his bond and has been out of police custody since last year.
According to the police report, Zickuhr hired prostitute Lisa Cadeau who uses the name of Snow White and allowed her to use his ATM card for her payment. The next day he accused her of stealing from him. The police report stated, "Tim began to punch her in the face with a closed fist and continuously threaten the kill her if she did not get him the money."
Zickuhr then allegedly as per the police report tied Cadeau up using the straps from his backpack, dumped cold water on her and locked her inside a closet. Zickuhr demanded she give him a phone number to someone who could bring him the money he accused her of stealing.
The number Cadeau gave him ended up being the telephone number of a Las Vegas police officer. As quoted in the police report, Cadeau said during the phone call, "Help me he's going to kill me." She then began screaming and the call was disconnected.
When she began screaming Zickuhr allegedly became nervous that his neighbors heard her and forced Cadeau to jump out of the bedroom window located on the second floor of his house. Zickuhr then transported Cadeau to the Eureka Casino thinking he was going to receive the money. Instead, he was met by two police officers and was arrested.

Toddler 1 classroom
8:45am - 11:45am; Extended Day 11:45am - 2:45pm
Toddlers explore their specially prepared environment with the guidance of the Montessori teachers and are given the opportunity to follow their natural inclination to gather and absorb information. They learn the beginning skills of cooperation and self-reliance and are introduced to appropriate Montessori and other Early-Childhood materials. We feel the class for 18 months to 3 year olds gets our youngest students off to a great start.

What to Expect
The toddler classroom is a uniquely designed environment. It is set up to facilitate the toddler's cognitive and physical development. The directress has selected all of the materials in the class to appeal specifically to such young children.
When a toddler enters this program, he/she may already have learned something about getting along with his/her parents and grandparents and with an older or younger sibling. The toddler class is often his/her first opportunity to be with other children her own age. A directress/pupil ratio of 1:5 allows the toddler to interact with peers with the support of an adult to help with social skills.
The toddler quickly learns the names of his teachers and classmates. He learns to talk with other children about the activities of the classroom. His vocabulary grows to include works such as up, down, under, over, large, small, far, near and the seasons of the year. He learns the names for food, clothing, and animals. Language for functioning in a group is developed such as: please, thank you, and excuse me.
The toddler will learn to take off his coat and hat and hang them up by himself. He will learn to put them back on as well. The toddler will learn how to put on an apron for water activities, open a napkin, serve a snack, and clean up afterward. Many toddlers become toilet trained before they leave the toddler environment.
The toddler learns to handle the materials in the classroom with care and to put activities back on the shelves when they are finished. He develops the patience to wait if another child is working with material he wants.
The toddler will be offered opportunities to work on his own, in small groups and with the entire class. He will be encouraged to express himself creatively through music and rhythm activities, art and simple dramatic play. These activities are offered within the classroom daily but also enhanced through a school-wide curriculum of music, art and movement.
The time will come when the toddler is ready to move into the preschool environment. The toddler has gained the confidence and skills to function successfully in a larger class. The toddler program has offered the "graduate" a unique, supportive structure to enhance his/her developing self.
The toddler environment offers the child safe, stimulating, attractive activities. The toddler's selection of one among many encourages the skill of decision-making. The opportunity to work at one's own pace and repeat an activity develops the toddler's concentration – a much needed and often overlooked skill.

Whether you call it Daylight Savings Time, Daylight Saving Time, or DST, don't spring forward and turn the clocks ahead just yet. Since Daylight Savings Time is right around the corner, people are already asking when is Daylight Savings Time, and when do we turn the clocks ahead? Daylight Saving Time begins early Sunday morning, March 9, 2014, according to the Brevard Times on Friday, Feb. 28.
Spring Forward, Fall Back
Daylight Savings Time, also known as DST, is a welcomed change from the cold, dark winter, and a holiday for most people. Are you confused with the date of when Daylight Savings begins and ends? You're not alone! The date changes every year. According to Time and Date, Daylight Savings Time starts on the second Sunday in March and ends on the first Sunday in November. Just remember the saying, "Spring forward, fall back," That reminds people to turn their clocks ahead in the spring, and turn them back again in the fall.
People are also confused as to which states observe Daylight Savings Time, and don't observe the time change. Some states like Arizona and Hawaii won't be observing Daylight Savings Time in 2014. The state of Rhode Island however, does observe Daylight Savings Time and will "spring ahead" at 2 a.m. Sunday morning, March 9, 2014. On that day, you'll lose an hour of precious sleep, but it'll be well worth it to have an extra hour of daylight in the early evening. Likewise, after a spring, summer and fall of longer daylight hours, most of the country will once again "fall back" at 2 a.m. Sunday morning, November 9, 2014.

ankle sprains & strains
Often seen when basketball players come down from a jump landing on another player's foot, ankle sprains occur following sudden sideways movements of the foot. Although ankle sprains and strains usually are not serious, the accompanying soreness and swelling can slow a person down. For best recovery, it is important to understand the difference between a sprain and a strain. And, in either instance, see your family physician for proper treatment requirements.
A sprain is a stretch or tear of a ligament -- the rubbery band of connective tissue that joins the end of one bone with another. Ligaments stabilize and support the body's joints. For example, ligaments in the knee connect the upper leg with the lower leg, enabling people to walk and run. A strain is a twist, pull or tear of a muscle and/or tendon. Tendons are stretchy cords of tissue that attach muscles to bone.
The most common ankle injury occurs when the outer ligaments are
stretched or torn due to falling, loosing balance or landing on an
uneven surface. Those at risk include athletes, overweight individuals
and those in poor physical condition.
If pain and swelling does not subside in seven to ten days after injury,
X-rays may be ordered to rule out a fracture.
The initial treatment for an ankle sprain is RICE:
- Rest -- to allow the natural healing process to begin
- Ice-- to reduce swelling
- Compression -- to restrict the injured ankle's range of motion
- Ellevation -- to reduce fluid accumulation.
Mild pain medications will alleviate discomfort and crutches may help by reducing the weight placed on the injured foot.
As pain and swelling decreases, the patient may begin slowly moving the
ankle in different directions. Once the patient is able to comfortably
move the ankle, gentle exercises to stabilize the ankle are begun.
Balance and coordination exercises are especially important following an
ankle ligament injury to strengthen the tendons and ligaments as well
as to reduce risk of reinjury. As the ankle recovers and regains its
full mobility, we suggest patients perform stretching and strengthening
exercises daily. Wearing an ankle brace also will provide added support
to ligaments.
To prevent ankle sprains or strains:
Wear supportive shoes
Condition the surrounding muscles
Warm up correctly before engaging in sporting activities

WaterSafe Test and Science Project Kit Instructions
Watersafe® All-in-one and Science Project Kit Instructions
The Watersafe Test Kit contains everything you need to find out simply and accurately if your water contains unsafe or undesirable levels of 8 common contaminants. Follow the instructions carefully for each test, and compare results to the desired values. Drinking water which tests outside the desired values may be dangerous to your health.
Water Test Desired Value
EPA maximum contaminant levels or guildline standards:
Below 15 ppb
Below 3ppb (atrazine), Below 4ppb (simazine)
Below 1.0 ppm
Total Nitrate/Nitrite
Below 10.0 ppm
Total Chlorine
Below 4 ppm
6.5 to 8.5
Total Hardness
50 ppm or less (water is drinkable up to 500 ppm)
Before you begin...
1. All-in-one Test Kit and Science Project Kits contain different number of water tests. However they contain at least one test of the following types:
- Bacteria Test Vial
- Lead / Pesticide Test Packet
- Nitrate / Nitrite Test Packet
- pH / Hardness / Chlorine Test Packet
2. Keep tests out of reach of children or pets. Do not ingest anything from this test kit. Do not drink water sample used for testing.
Store and use at room temperature (60-86 F).
Do not use on hot water or water containing bleach detergents. Do not re-use any part of the test kit.
3. Do not open packets or vial until you are ready to perform the tests.
4. Read and follow all instructions carefully.
Bacteria Test Instructions
1. Take out the Bacteria Test vial and set upright on a flat surface.
2. Collect water sample or turn on tap to a very slow stream.
3. Carefully twist off cap and fill vial to 1/2 inch below the top (to 5 ml line). DO NOT OVERFILL and DO NOT SPILL the bacterial growth powder in the vial.
4. Replace cap and twist on tightly. Shake the vial vigorously for 20 seconds.
5. Place the capped vial upright in a warm area (70-90 F) where it cannot be disturbed for 48 hrs.
6. After 48 hrs., observe the color of the liquid without opening the vial:
Purple Color: Negative Result
(No bacteria were detected).
Yellow Color: Positive Result
(It is highly likely that potentially harmful bacteria were detected).
7. For positive results, add bleach to the sample before pouring down the toilet, then wash hands carefully. Negative samples may be poured directly into the toilet. Discard vial in the trash.
Lead / Pesticide Test Instructions
The Watersafe Lead Test can detect dissolved lead at levels below the EPA Action level of 15 parts per billion (ppb). The Watersafe Pesticide Test detects two of the most common pesticides used in the US at or below the EPA Maximum Contaminant Level (atrazine - 3 ppb, and simazine - 4 ppb).
1. Open Lead / Pesticide packet and take out all contents. The packet contains a test vial, a dropper pipette, two Watersafe test strips, and a desiccant (to be discarded).
2. Using dropper, place exactly TWO dropper-fuls of water sample into test vial. To pick up the sample, tightly squeeze the bulb at the end of the dropper and place the open end into the water sample. Release the bulb to pick up the sample, then squeeze again to expel the sample into the vial.
3. Swirl vial gently for several seconds. Place on a flat surface.
4. Place both test strips into the test vial, with arrows pointing DOWN.
5. Wait 10 minutes. Do not disturb strips or vial during this time. Blue lines will appear on the strips.
6. Take the strips out of the vial and lay them on a flat surface with the arrows pointing to the LEFT.
Read Results.
If you only see the LEFT line (next to number 1), the test is negative)
: The LEFT line (next to number 1) is darker than the RIGHT line (next to number 2)
: The RIGHT line (next to number 2) is darker than the LEFT line (next to number 1), or lines are equally dark (Both LEFT and RIGHT lines are equally dark)
7. Note: If no lines appear, or both lines are very light, the test did not run properly and the result is not valid. If a test strip shows a positive result, your water sample may contain lead or pesticides at a toxic level.
Nitrate / Nitrite Test Instructions
1.Carefully open Nitrate / Nitrite Test packet and take out test strip.
2. Immerse the reagent pads into water sample for 2 seconds, remove, after 1 minute match colors with the chart below.
3. Colors are stable for 1 minute.
Total Nitrate/Nitrite
(as N) (end pad)
(as N) (pad nearest handle)
pH | Hardness | Chlorine Test Instructions
1. Carefully open pH/ Hardness/ Chlorine Test packet and take out test strip.
2. Immerse the reagent pads into the water sample and remove immediately. Hold the strip level for 15 seconds.
3. Match pH,Total Hardness and Total Chlorine Pads (in that order) to the color chart below.

This book is a collection of what I consider to be some of my best work from these years, as well of what I believe is most representative of my true focus in the realm of photography, or making pictures.
I live in and enjoy the abstract, and most certainly am inspired by and feel aligned with the work of the abstract expressionists in painting (and photography), including Mark Rothko, Aaron Siskind, Harry Callahan, Franz Kline, Robert Motherwell, Adolph Gottlieb, Barnett Newman and many others.
My music and love of sound is in almost exacting parallel with my sense of image. I believe the purity of things kept real, with the eye or ear toward the abstraction of these objects, creates a new form or object, and moves closer to it's essence, without imposition.
My work is who I am, at the time, and is pure document.
This book would not exist without the infinite inspiration and support from my sister Maggie, who was by my side for much of this period of tumult and productive transition in my life, as well as when many of these moments were captured and realized. My love and gratitude are immeasurable; immovable.
