Gall Stones, appendix, a baby delivery; whatever the reason for your hospital visit be sure to look stylish in your own Digni-Tee ($30). Digni-Tees are the ingenious idea of two women who were sick of the ugly paper gowns that you are given at admittance. These super soft gowns offer full access to all your important parts via perfectly placed snaps and are available in black, chocolate, moss green or raspberry. Rumor has it that Kourtney Kardashian wore one of these when she recently gave birth to her little boy Mason.
I am trying to buy the Digni pink tee and when I click on buy I get a bunch of websites none of which I can order the top

TAATOOL Usage in Production Code
Sam Lennon <lennon_s_j@...>
In a prior job I also used some of the TAATOOLs commands (the commercial product) in production jobs. My current boss prefers that we don't code the TAATOOLs commands directly, but extract the source and add them to our libraries. I'd much rather use them directly from the TAATOOL library and I'd like your opinions. Questions to TAATOOL users: 1) Do you use TAATOOLs directly in PRODUCTION code? or 2) Do you extract the source and absorb the tool into your own code? -- -- This is the Midrange Systems Technical Discussion (MIDRANGE-L) mailing list To post a message email: MIDRANGE-L@...

Women's Lights Open Home Slate With Win Over Georgetown For 2006 Cup
The third-ranked Princeton women's lightweight rowing team opened its two-week homestand Saturday in winning fashion, topping Georgetown to retain the Class of 2006 Cup.
Another home win next Saturday would likely come at the expense of the top-ranked team in the nation.
Princeton topped Georgetown to build on the momentum from last weekend's thrilling Knecht Cup win by staying perfect in the Class of 2006 Cup series. The varsity eight won in 7:33.0, while Georgetown finished in 7:48.5.
The Princeton 2V also had a strong debut in the 2014 season, finishing in 8:09.4.
"Our whole team did a solid job of adjusting to some needed lineup changes due to an injury," head coach Paul Rassam said. "I was particularly impressed with Alicia Lamb, who stepped into the V8 this week as a freshman novice walk-on with only six months rowing experience.
"A Cup race is a pressure scenario and she really handled it well," Rassam added.
The pressure will be raised next Saturday, when Princeton hosts Harvard for the Class of 1999 Cup. Harvard entered the weekend ranked second nationally, but a win over No. 1 Stanford in the Lightweight Invitational Regatta Saturday morning will likely move the Crimson atop the rankings by the time they make their way to Lake Carnegie.Class Of 2006 Cup
Princeton 7:33.0
Georgetown 7:48.5

Indeterminate art, in which familiar objects are only suggestive, invokes a perceptual conundrum as apparently detailed and vivid images resist identification. We hypothesized that compared with paintings that depict meaningful content, object recognition in indeterminate images would be delayed, and tested whether aesthetic affect depends on meaningful content. Subjects performed object recognition and judgment of aesthetic affect tasks. Response latencies were significantly longer for indeterminate images and subjects perceived recognizable objects in 24% of these paintings. Although the aesthetic affect rating of all paintings was similar, judgement latencies for the indeterminate paintings were significantly longer. A surprise memory test revealed that more representational than indeterminate paintings were remembered and that affective strength increased the probability of subsequent recall. Our results suggest that perception and memory of art depend on semantic aspects, whereas, aesthetic affect depends on formal visual features. The longer latencies associated with indeterminate paintings reflect the underlying cognitive processes that mediate object resolution. Indeterminate art works therefore comprise a rich set of stimuli with which the neural correlates of visual perception can be investigated.

According to the ACA website this event is CANCELLED!
Went to the website for the Mini Classic (http://www.lifeonthebike.com/) and there is not information.
Whats the deal?
Cancelled, really
Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on
I am so disappointed to hear this. We just heard about this race, I registered my three boys for an ACA license and tried to register them for this race, but this site wouldn't let me. I think you cancelled too soon. Would you please reconsider?
2010 is on

Email ACA Exec directly if registration is not working.
The race has all the Junior Camps budget since there are no junior camps this year.
This cancelation is for 2009

The 2009 event was canceled but 2010 as far as we know is alive and well

Submitted by Jon Tarkington (not verified) on
Mini Classic is most definitely on for 2010 in a town that wants (and needs) a great special event. It will definitely be costing the ACA some money but nothing compared to last year. I know all the racing parents will be jealous when they see the RR course, I am!
As for the Camps we had one:
We are already working on CX camp. Our Junior Development Coordinator, Zak Grabowski is slowly learning the ropes of event coordination and promotion.

The Pleasure of His Bed
Melissa MacNeal, Donna Grant and Annalise Russell
Aphrodisia, $13.95, 304 pages, Amazon ASIN 0758228546
At 130 pages, this is the longest of the book's three short stories. It features prose so purple the pages practically changed color as I read it. The lusty abigail and equally lusty captain apparently fall in love because they are...lusty for each other. There's a lot of plot in this one, but none of it involves any characterization beyond the broadest of cartoonish strokes. Sofia is lusty, feisty, and endears herself to the crew through her cooking. Damon is lusty, strong, and the crew has his back - and the quartermaster is jealous, evil, and greedy. Yawn. Grade: F
Even with that scene - which didn't do a thing for me - the shortest of the three stories is the best in the anthology. And perhaps that's why. The focus is almost solely on the slave and her Master, and it's kinda fun, in a kinky way. If Jarina's rationale for not telling Kyros her true identity is slim, it passes in a flash of an eye. Grade: C+
This short story is heavy on the violence and short on everything else. Bodin introduces Chessa to sex slowly, but his anger level throughout the read is so high that it's hard to believe he's getting any enjoyment from it. Although I enjoy "captivity" stories, Bodin's anger and Chessa's constant victimhood ruined that aspect. Their total lack of communication and the over-emphasis on the violence that ensues throughout the story make this one a failure as well. Grade: F
The Pleasure of His Bed is saved from total failure by its shortest short story. That thudding sound you hear is this one being tossed into the trash.

Lakers Camp Countdown 6: Gains via Kobe's pain
We're counting down the last 12 days of offseason before the start of Lakers training camp with my 12 favorite columns from the 2009-10 preseason and regular season.
Going chronologically from October to April …
Here's flashback column No. 5, published on Jan. 14 and addressing one of the primary themes of last season: Kobe Bryant's health. In this road game against Dallas, Bryant was especially struggling with back spasms, but he persevered and played largely half-speed while enjoying teammates Ron Artest and Lamar Odom going faster than usual in a Lakers victory.

As of this writing 'projection mapping' is one of the fastest growing mediums, being used in a variety of artistic and commercial projects. The basic idea: take a projector, point it at a physical volume like an object or an architectural element, and then map an image onto it.
The MadMapper provides a simple and easy tool for video-mapping projections and LED mapping. It removes a lot of the confusion related to this medium, effectively demystifying the process, allowing you, the artist or designer to focus on creating your content, and making the experience of mapping textures to physical objects in real time, fun.
MadMapper is built around the idea of sharing video content between applications.
To accomplish this task, MadMapper uses a Mac OS X based framework called Syphon.
Any application that can send its output the Syphon server, the video is automatically available to MadMapper for perspective transformations and warping.
MadMapper also allows to manipulate lighting fixtures (such as LEDs) using MAD_Light,
within the same unified environment. (You'll need a discrete/dedicated graphics card for this function)
The approach that one should assume with MadMapper is that it is extracting elements from a source, generally referred to as "the input." This "input" can be any material you import into MadMapper, such as an image, QuickTime movie or Syphon input. These extracted elements are called "surfaces" that consist of multiple geometric primitives, such as a quad, a triangle or a grid. These surfaces can then be transformed and arranged as desired within the video canvas called "the stage."
*There is an ever-growing list of software supporting the Syphon framework, such as:
- Modul8
- Quartz Composer
- Arkaos GrandVJ
- Arkaos MediaMaster
- OpenFrameworks
- Cinder
- MaxMsp/Jitter
- Unity3d
- Processing (soon)
- Resolume via FreeframeGL
- Isadora via Matthew Haber's Actor
- CellDNA
- Plask
- AV Mixer Pro
MadMapper is currently developped by GarageCUBE and 1024 Architecture

MEDINA — A city man will spend four years in prison after a Tuesday felony conviction that he forced his way into a friend's apartment and attacked him there.
Michael D. Basford, 27, begged the judge to give him probation because he worried he wouldn't be able to see his 3-year-old daughter grow up.
"If you send me to prison, I'm going to miss my daughter's first trip on the school bus," he told the judge.
"I'm sorry for the circumstances surrounding this case," Medina County Common Pleas Judge Christopher J. Collier said. "But what makes sense to me is a four-year prison sentence."
Collier said he reached that decision because of Basford's prior criminal history, including a burglary as a 15-year-old and several drug charges that landed him in prison before.
A jury found Basford guilty Tuesday of aggravated burglary, a first-degree felony punishable by up to 11 years in prison.
He was accused of attacking his friend, 24-year-old Brad Clements, because Clements owed him $200.
Jury selection in his case began Monday, with the trial phase beginning and ending with a conviction Tuesday.
Collier said county Prosecutor Dean Holman offered Basford a plea agreement, but he decided to take his chances at trial.
As a result, Collier said the minimum prison sentence was three years — which could have been less if Basford accepted a plea deal to a reduced charge.

Salamander - sea serpent - Short-Snout, Swedish - Shrake - snail - snake - Snidget - Sphinx - spider - squid, giant - Streeler - Swedish Short-Snout
A small, brilliant white, fire-dwelling lizard that feeds on flame, although
it can survive up to six hours outside a fire if regularly fed pepper. A
salamander lives only as long as the fire from which it sprang, scampering
along burning logs and among the coals, and its colour appears blue or
scarlet depending on the heat of the fire in which it appeared. Salamander
blood has powerful curative and restorative properties
Fred and George once fed fireworks to one just to see what would happen; it was orange (CS8). Hagrid once provided a bonfire full of them for his third year Care of Magical Creatures class (PA12).
sea serpent
A gigantic (can grow to a hundred feet in length), snake-like beast with a horselike head and a long snakelike body rising in humps out of the sea as it moves through the water; found in the Atlantic, Mediterrean, and Pacific Oceans. The sea serpent has received very bad Muggle press, in this case unjustified. Although many Muggle legends have grown up around sightings of the creatures, usually tales of horror and death, in reality sea serpents are harmless; there is no record of a sea serpent ever harming a human. See also the Loch Ness kelpie (FB).
Short-Snout, Swedish
XXXXX - Sweden
See Dragons - Swedish Short-Snout.
A magically-created species of saltwater fish, found in the Atlantic Ocean, which is covered in spines and which deliberately seeks out and destroys Muggle fishing nets. The first shrake were supposedly created in the 1800s by a group of wizard fisherfolk who had been insulted by Muggles. The shrake, by damaging the nets used by Muggles to fish in that area of the sea, cause no end of trouble (FB).
"shred" +"hake" a fish related to the cod [NSOED]
Poisonous orange snails were for sale in the Magical Menagerie; they could have been streelers (PA4, FB).
and snake-like creatures
- ashwinder
- basilisk
- boa constrictor - Harry accidentally released from the zoo, frightening Dudley half to death and resulting in a severe punishment from Uncle Vernon (PS2)
- dragon
- Nagini
- occamy
- runespoor
- sea serpent
- c.f. Serpensortia
XXXX (the high rating is because of the severe penalties attached to capturing or owning one)
A small, spherical bird which can fly with amazing agility, changing speed and direction almost instantaneously. Its golden feathers and red, jewel-like eyes are so prized that at one time the snidget was hunted almost to extinction. The fact that a snidget became such an integral part of the game of Quidditch (and usually died when it was caught) didn't help matters either. The snidget became a protected species; there are now severe penalties for harming or even capturing one. Snidget reserves have been set up worldwide, and a magical device, the Golden Snitch, has replaced the live bird in Quidditch (FB, QA).
Native to Egypt, this
human-headed creature has a lion-like body, the capacity for human speech,
and an innate love of puzzles and riddles, but due to its violent tendencies
it has been placed in the 'beast' rather than the 'being' category
The sphinx has been used by wizarding folk for centuries to guard treasure, and is noted for violence when that which it guards is threatened (FB). In the opinion of one of the Bestiary's editors, the sphinx is very probably a wizard-bred species rather than a naturally occurring one, given the remarks made by Scamander in his footnote on acromantulas (FB), but we have no definite information on that point.
A female sphinx was stationed in the Triwizard maze both to guard the closest approach to the center and to provide a hint about the last monster guarding the Triwizard Cup. She required an answer to a riddle; once the riddle was solved, she calmly let Harry pass by (GF31).
Gringotts has been known to place sphinxes to guard some of the vaults, much to the consternation of those who want access to their valuables and aren't particularly good at riddles (DP).
and spider-like creatures
- The cupboard under the stairs was full of spiders (PS2).
- Ron Weasley's greatest fear is spiders, ever since the twins turned his teddy bear into a giant spider when he was little. He can work with dead spiders as potion ingredients without difficulty, however (CS9, PA7).
- acromantula (FB, CS15, GF31, OP16)
- The fake Moody used three spiders to demonstrate the Unforgivable Curses (GF14).
- giant tarantula (PS6)
- Harry encountered an acromantula in the maze of the third task. He and Cedric defeated it together (GF31, (OP16).
- Spiders the size of saucers infested a dresser at number twelve, Grimmauld Place (OP6).
- The Weasleys' broom shed, where Dumbledore talked with Harry after recruiting Slughorn, is full of spiders (HBP04).
squid, giant
The largest invertebrate known to Muggle science, the giant squid can grow to 70 feet. Speaking more specifically, at least one giant squid lives in the lake near Hogwarts castle, and seems to be more or less friendly toward the inhabitants.
- the Weasley twins and Lee Jordan tickle its tentacles (PS16)
- lazily crosses the lake (PA22)
- rescues Dennis Creevey (GF12)
- eats toast (GF18)

Iconic Second City Chicago actor,sadly has passed away, writer and director, Harold Ramis, a comic genius creator known for his 80's comedy movie sensation.
A treasure trove of comedic gold, whom collaborated with felllow actor and filmmaker on some of the funniest movies of all time, Second City, SNL Alum Bill Murray, who starred with Harold Ramis as friends and partners in many comedies Meatballs, Stripes,Caddyshack, Ghostbusters and Groundhog Day,"
Bill Murray admitted that he eagerly took part in most of Ghostbuster partner Harold Ramis ' plans even when they involved crossing the streams. Monday, Murray praised, Harold Ramis, publicly, saying in short that "Harold earned his keep on this planet. God bless him."
Their other comedic partner in crime Second City and SNL Chicago alum Dan Akroyd, who cowrote and starred in both 80's Ghostbusters. Dan wrote on Facebook earlier today:"Deeply saddened to hear of the passing of my brilliant, gifted and funny friend, co-writer/performer and teacher Harold Ramis. May he now get the answers he was always seeking."
And it doesn't stop there, these two comedy legends have hardly been alone in their gratitude, Judd Apatow,who directed Ramis in Knocked Up and produced Ramis' final directorial effort, Year One, Monday Tweeted,"Thank you, we love you!"
And he's not the only celeb in Hollywood is mourning the loss of Harold Ramis taking to Twitter today to pay tribute actor Steve Carell, are among many of the stars to remember the beloved 70's Animal House, and 1999 "Analyze This" film creator.Tweeting "Harold Ramis. Funny, gracious, kind hearted. A joy to have known you."
Actor Jon Cryer just had two words: Groundhog Day, RIP, Harold Ramis." Director Ron Howard tweeeted: "Harold Ramis RIP. no one could ever top him in terms, of being incredibly kind & gracious. While somehow being Cool & off-the-charts creative"
Harold was born on Chicago's north side, his parents were shopkeepers, Ramis began writing plays in college in St. Louis, saying that the experience working at a mental institution for seven months, it was one of the few times he said that he wasn't trying to be funny, "People laugh when I say that,it prepared him well for Hollywood which was actually very good training,"
#RIP Harold Ramis...Justin Timberlake tweeted; My sincerest condolences to Mr. Ramis's family "Caddyshack. Griswalds. Egon Spengler was always my favorite Ghostbuster Genius! Rainn Wilson "Was honored to have gotten to work with Harold Ramis the Buddha of Comedy. A Brilliant, humble, radiant soul.We've lost an icon.
#GroundhogDay" ABC Late Night Live Jimmy Kimmel shared condolences to the family and friends of the great Harold Ramis." "He's why"'I collect spores, molds, and fungus''.
Harold's breakthrough came in 1978 with a co-writing credit on the blockbuster comedy "National Lampoon's Animal House." The contributions Ramis' made from films to TV and improv cannot be overstated.
Actresses Olivia Munn tweeted "RIP Harold Ramis" Kat Dennings shared Harold made people happy and influenced so many, including me." "Devastated to have heard about Harold Ramis…Groundhog Day is my favorite movie of all time. And from Julianne Hough "Very sad to hear that we lost Harold Ramis. Exceptionally talented, exceptionally kind."
After college in St. Louis, Harold returned to Chicago in 1968, freelancing entertainment features for local newspapers before he began studying and performing with the now-famed Second City improvisational comedy troupe.
Stand up Comic Margaret Cho shared: "Harold Ramis, you, my first comedy crush. You came to my show in Chicago, I was humbled beyond words. My heart won't recover from this loss. #RIP. From actor director Jon Favreau "No no not Harold Ramis. Worked for him years ago. He was the real deal. Growing up, his work changed my life. He will be missed."
Second City and SNL alum Tim Kazurinsky said,"Harold was clearly the most successful comedy writer-director of all time," Tim followed Harold Ramis at Second City and later became his friend. "The number of films that he has made that were successful, that were blockbusters, nobody comes close. Even in light in of that, he was more successful as a human being."
From original 80's Karate Kid star Ralph Macchio: "RIP Harold Ramis; A creator of often outrageous comedy yet always laced with heart. If you don't recognize Harold Ramis' name. Look it up!" And from TV and film star Patton Oswalt: "No Harold Ramis, no comedy as we know it today. #RIPHaroldRamis"
Ramis' comedies were often wild, silly and tilting toward anarchy, aa actual revolutionary breakthrough, with the filmmaker continuing the Second City edict to work at the top of one's intelligence.Harold Ramis not only may be the most successful comedy writer-director that Chicago has produced, but some wouldn't even confine that statement to Chicago.
With his round glasses lending a professorial air, In his film work as an actor Ramis would become the calm center of storms brewed by fellow actors, playing the messy bushy-haired,
low-key wisecracker to Bill Murray's troublemaker in "Stripes" and being the most scientific-minded "Ghostbuster." Later roles included the sympathetic doctor of James L. Brooks' "As Good as It Gets" in 1997 and the charming "Knocked Up" dad, whose dialogue, Apatow said, was almost all improvised.
On Monday, Ramis was surrounded by family in his North Shore home when he died at 12:53 a.m.of complications from autoimmune inflammatory vasculitis, a rare disease that involves swelling of the blood vessels, said his wife, Erica Mann Ramis.Ramis is survived by his wife Erica, sons Julian and Daniel, daughter Violet and two grandchildren."Harold Ramis. One of the best ever."
Mr. Harold Ramis, Chicago actor, writer and director, dead at 69

The original Sims still stands as the best-selling PC game of all time, and The Sims 2 holds the number two spot, beating out the incredibly popular World of Warcraft by a large margin. The franchise has sold over 100 million copies, combining all expansion packs and full versions.
EA certainly struck gold when they hooked up with Maxis in this endeavor. Will they be able to carry that same amount of success again and have The Sims 3 become a best-seller? One complaint some gamers have towards chain titles that get a new version year after year is how diluted the series can become. Will The Sims suffer that fate?

College Hockey:Mavericks High Five Huskies
Minnesota State Scores Four in Second Period, Clinches Home Ice for First Time Since 2003
MANKATO, Minn. — Minnesota State freshman forward Andy Sackrison walked out of the locker room Friday night with a smile on his face.
"You're gonna be spoiled," came a voice down the hall.
"I know," snapped Sackrison back.
The No. 9 Mavericks defeated Michigan Tech 5-2 Friday night at the Alltel Center to wrap up home ice advantage for next weekend's Western Collegiate Hockey Association playoffs for the first time since the 2002-03 season. Whom they will play will not be determined until after Saturday's games.
"It feels great," Mavericks forward Mick Berge said. "None of us have ever had it."
Berge scored a pair of goals in a critical second period for MSU, which scored four goals in the frame and turned a 1-0 lead after one into a 5-1 lead after two.
"It was nice to capitalize," MSU head coach Troy Jutting said. "When you get your chances, you have to score. I thought we did a good job tonight of capitalizing on some opportunities."
They also did a great job of creating them, as was the case on the game's first goal.
As the Mavericks continued killing back-to-back penalties, Trevor Bruess stormed out of his own zone, cruised across the blue line and went around a defenseman before slipping the puck through Huskies goaltender Michael-Lee Teslak's five-hole at the 8:30 mark of period one.
"I just tried to use my speed," Bruess said. "I got a step on him and just crashed to the net. I don't think the goalie expected it."
Bruess' fantastic pass set up MSU's next goat at 3:58 of the second.
He carried the puck into the Huskies zone spearheading a 2-on-1 break. With Bruess in the slot, he appeared to fire a snap shot, but instead fed a pass to senior winger Joel Hanson, who one-timed the pass into a wide open net.
"Every 2-on-1 I try and fake a shot," Bruess said. "It messes the goalie and the defenseman up."
Michigan Tech narrowed the game to 2-1 with a power play goal at 10:21 by Malcolm Gwilliam. He one-timed a pass from Geoff Kinrade at the left faceoff circle to notch his fifth goal of the season.
But that's when the Mavericks took control.
MSU scored three goals in 3:01 to put the game away. Berge scored back-to-back goals at 12:44 and 15:07, the second coming with the man-advantage. Sackrison pounded home a rebound at 15:45 to make it 5-1.
"We played simple," Bruess said. "They were plays we have been making lately."
Tech's Mark Malekoff scored an unassisted goal at 14:59 of the third to cap scoring.
The Mavericks outshot Michigan Tech 41-33. Mike Zacharias made 31 saves for MSU and was especially stellar in the opening minutes of the game. Teslak got the start and made 23 saves before giving way to Rob Nolan to start the third period. Nolan stopped all 13 shots in the final 20 minutes.
"Their will to win was greater than ours tonight," Huskies coach Jamie Russell said. "We were missing the senior leadership of our captain John Schwartz and not having him in the line-up really hurt."
Minnesota State climbed into a tie for eighth in the PairWise rankings, up from 11th prior to the game. Michigan Tech began the night tied for 21st but dropped from teams under consideration.
The same two teams will square off Saturday night at the Alltel Center. Face off is scheduled for 7:07 p.m. CST.

"I don't think we're going to make an offer at this point," Rebney said to ESPN.com. "So I don't see any reason to make anybody sit out. If Ben's going to go to the UFC, we should speed up that process so he can go fight. I'd love to see Ben versus GSP."
Bellator recently went through a drawn-out legal battle with former champion Eddie Alvarez over his right to sign with the UFC. He will return to Bellator for a rematch with Michael Chandler on Nov. 2, but the legal battle required Alvarez to be on the shelf for a year. Considering how often Bellator runs events, keeping a known entity like Askren on the shelf while going through another legal battle could be too much to handle.
On Askren's part, he's ready to take on the challenge of the UFC.
@danawhite hey if @JohnyHendricks gets hurt for November just let me know I'm ready :)

During an exclusive interview with Examiner Dorri Olds on Wed., April 9, filmmaker Samantha Grant said the first question that everyone asked her was why she made the documentary, "A Fragile Trust." The movie is about Jayson Blair, the most infamous serial plagiarist, and his sack of lies in article after article while employed as a journalist by the world's most trustworthy newspaper, The New York Times.
It's a fascinating, and stomach-turning tale about sociopathic behavior and Grant put together a captivating presentation. She spent years of due diligence on research, interviewing the key players, art directing painstaking animation, and commissioning a gripping musical score, which all culminated in a film that entertains like a thriller.
The movie opens with Grant asking Jayson Blair why he did it. His reply? "There's not a simple one answer." Yes, no doubt that is true but what's most disturbing is the weasely and manipulative way he apologizes. Blair gives empty shrugs and makes accusations: he was sick so he can't be held accountable, he's sorry but his editors should've noticed he was lying and stopped him, there should've been tighter controls, people should've known he was inebriated.
It's the same insincerity of an alcoholic or wife beater who hasn't learned to take responsibility or make amends to people they hurt. Blair claims he abused drugs and alcohol to self-medicate his bipolar disorder. That is believable enough but it is hard to have empathy because he seems unconcerned that his behavior nearly ruined the credibility of the Times, changed the landscape of journalism forever, and cost two men — executive editor Howell Raines and top deputy editor Gerald Boyd — their jobs.
Does Grant think Raines was scapegoated? She said, "The situation with Howell Raines was so heated already that it was like a tinderbox and Jayson Blair was just the spark. I think Howell probably would've had some big difficulties, whether it was Jayson or something else that would've pushed the situation to the boiling point. If there had been more time for Howell Raines to settle into his position as executive editor, I think he could've adjusted and learned to be a better manager."
"Things were just so stressful right then," said Grant. "I mean 9/11 happened on his sixth day as the executive editor. It's literally like taking over the presidency and having someone drop a bomb on you on your sixth day of office. He was working under warlike conditions."
Grant was asked about a review in Variety that said, "For rabble-rousing right-wingers, this was naturally hailed as proof of the failure of affirmative action." Grant said, "The film not only takes a look at the scandal itself and what happened with Jayson inside the Times, but it also takes a critical look at the larger media and how the media as a whole handled the reporting of the scandal."
She went on to say, "The major media picked up this story and all of a sudden it became a story about race. The fact is that affirmative action is not why Jayson Blair got away with all of the errors for so long. Correcting the record on that was something I wanted to do with this film."
And, correct it she did.
"A Fragile Trust" is now playing at the Quad Cinema. Samantha Grant and co-producer Brittney Shepherd will be in attendance for a Q&A following the Sun., April 13 showings at 4:30 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. PBS will show the film nationwide on May 5. Not rated. 78 min.

It is a goal of ours to try to get out as much contest information as possible out to our entrants. In the spirit of that, we are publishing the contest entry numbers so that you can get a better idea of how many people enter the contest, and how competitive each category is.
One thing is for certain – the contest is growing. 2012 saw 500 more entries then 2010. 2013 Q1 is the highest-entered quarter in years. Regionally, the Central Region is the lowest entered. Historically that hasn't always been the case – in 2010 the East Region had only 369 entries. It is now the most-entered with 654 entries in 2012.
I was encouraged to learn that the 1st Quarter of 2013 had 544 entries. In comparison, 1st Quarter of 2012 had 385. Overall, General News is the most competitive category at 36%. Spot News is the lowest entered at less then 9%. Some regions barely have enough spot news entries to place a 1st, 2nd, and 3rd. So if these numbers tell you anything, they should tell you this – ENTER SPOT NEWS. The Solo Video Contest is much better balanced. The four categories range from 19-30% each. Here again, General News is the most entered. In-Depth is the lowest.

Drs. Joe and Sally Bauer
During their respective medical careers, the Drs. Joe and Sally Bauer pursued avocations as marine biologists, SCUBA divers and diving historians. Their passion was to learn the evolution and history of man's entry into the sea, and to share this largely untold story with others. Their focus and expertise is on the early history of diving and technology, prior to the development of SCUBA. After authoring the Diving Helmet chapter in The Pictorial History of Diving, they were founding members of the International Historical Diving Society of both the United Kingdom and the United States. The Bauers have published articles on diving history, based on their basic research of original documents in libraries throughout the world. They have discovered new links in the early progress of diving, which had previously been unrecognized. They have extensively studied "open bottom" or shallow water diving helmets that were the most significant contribution of South Florida and the Keys to the worldwide history of diving, helmets that fostered the beginnings of modern marine biology and treasure salvage, underwater photography and sports diving.
Museum History
Over a span of forty years, the Bauers have acquired the world's largest collection of diving helmets, hand-operated air pumps, armored suits, lights and other accessory gear, plus memorabilia, prints, photographs, books, film and video. Their passion took them to virtually every corner of the world and the Museum's collection now represents the contributions of more than 30 countries to diving history.
As their research evolved and collections grew, the Bauers were inspired by the idea of using their collection—which had become the largest and most comprehensive in the world—as the basis for a museum to share their knowledge and passion for diving history with the public. Following the Bauers' retirement, they moved permanently from Cleveland, Ohio to the Florida Keys, the perfect location to establish what became The History of Diving Museum.
The History of Diving Museum was first incorporated in 2000 and opened to the public on a part-time basis in September 2005. For the next twelve months, the museum installed a new exhibit monthly, opening each exhibit with a lecture and tour. The museum began full-time operation in September 2006.
Sadly, the museum suffered a tragic setback in early 2007. The unexpected death of Dr. Joseph Bauer left a large void in the overall organization and in historical documentation. Although, the museum took some time to recover, to its credit, it has managed to overcome and adapt. Dr. Joseph Bauer's legacy is a major theme at the museum and inspires its continued development. Dr. Sally Bauer exemplifies the fortitude of the museum, and also serves a reminder of the original vision and purpose.

The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled Friday that the Hualapai Tribal Court must adjudicate a dispute over the Grand Canyon Skywalk attraction before the issue can be taken up by a federal judge.
Skywalk was built and operated on Indian lands by Las Vegas developer David Jin's company, Grand Canyon Skywalk Development LLC, in a partnership with a Hualapai business known as Sa' Nyu Wa.
Disputes over costs and ticket revenue led to a six-year legal tussle confounded by issues of Indian sovereignty and court jurisdiction.
While litigation was under way last year, Hualapai leaders seized the Skywalk and banned Jin's company from the reservation under condemnation proceedings established by the Tribal Council. The tribe's enterprise also withdrew from arbitration called for in the contract with Jin.
Early this year in Phoenix, U.S. District Judge David Campbell ordered the Hualapai company to pay $28.6 million to Jin — an amount set by an arbiter covering damages to date. The tribal company filed for bankruptcy protection shortly after that judgment.
The latest 9th Circuit ruling upholds a separate finding by Campbell: that Jin's enterprise cannot sue the tribe for unlawful condemnation in federal court without first exhausting remedies before a Hualapai judge.
The import of that ruling is in dispute.
David Cieslak, a tribal spokesman, said it represents "a significant victory for the Hualapai people and for tribal sovereignty."
Mark Tratos, an attorney for Jin, said the ruling already is moot because of other legal developments: "It doesn't change anything. There's no victory here."
While the eminent-domain matter was under review, Tratos said, a Hualapai judge ruled that it must be settled by arbitration and, if necessary, a federal court.
Tratos said the 9th Circuit decision has no effect on the $28.6 million already awarded, and he noted that the tribe's appeal of that judgment was stayed by bankruptcy filings.
Gavin Clarkson, a professor of finance at New Mexico State University who specializes in Native American issues, said the appelate decision changes the outlook on the overall case.
"I'm certain that if Jin had won at the 9th Crcuit, his lawyer would have been claiming that this was a major victory for his position," Clarkson said in an e-mail. "But Jin lost, and lost rather convincingly."
The controversy has spawned debate among advocates of increased Native American sovereignty and others who say the condemnation will deter outside investment on tribal lands. It also has created an internal rift leading to last month's recall of two Tribal Council members who had led the Skywalk takeover.

The CIO and the Social Business Intelligence; A New Set Of Eyes - May 16, 2012
Your company and your company's brand are now being discussed in ways that were unimaginable just a few years ago. If you are not monitoring and analyzing these conversations, you could be missing out.
Switched-on companies are finding new ways to distill value from the consumer social networks that now yield volumes of new information.
It is at this intersection where one of the most interesting new parts of the social media landscape has been forming, namely the new field of social business intelligence. It is here that vital new strategic and tactical competitive insights are being harvested from the conversations going on around you. The opportunities here are both real and extraordinary.
Join us in a provocative session designed to explore how social business intelligence is becoming a vital component of the way that companies derive revenue growth, innovation, cost reduction, and more successful line-of-business operations. Nationally known executives will be describing their strategies and successes in this area, all aimed at creating a better predictive model for forecasting results from marketing investments, as well as measuring the results of the predictions made.
The "CIO Breakfast Gallery" (part of the nationally acclaimed "CIO Solutions Gallery" series) is an ongoing forum where senior IT leaders and their peer officers come together in a comfortable setting to share their experiences and insights, as well as collectively and collaboratively attack common issues.
Uniquely organized around "peer learning", this provocative program has received high praise among participating CIOs and other senior executives in the technology and/or operations leadership community. It helps to build an improved and creative personal network of peers and executives devoted to sharing best practices, renewing their skills on an ongoing basis, and raising the level of technical "literacy" and effectiveness within their organizations. This session presents a great opportunity for both CIOs and CMOs alike.
There is no cost to invited senior leaders. Sponsoring opportunities are available for invited technology product and service providers.

Stages of Alcohol Withdrawal Symptoms
|Watch this
|View More Posts Ignore
Alcoholism doesn't begin with apparent alcohol withdrawal symptoms, they can take years to develop. The process is know by clinicians as "Alcohol Withdrawal Syndrome". Alcoholism itself begins when drinking starts to adversely effect the physical health and even the mental health of the drinker, though he or she usually has no clue that anything is wrong. It is at this time a person crosses over that imaginary line (you may or may not have heard of it) into alcoholism.
Stage One - The Early Years of Alcohol Addiction
In this, the adaptive stage of alcoholism, the drinker is no longer drinking for the same reasons he or she started drinking for in the first place. It's no longer peer pressure, curiosity, social events or that they enjoy the taste of alcohol. No, they are drinking and probably more by now, for the effects that the alcohol can produce, though they probably don't realize it. The effects that they are seeking could be a mood change or possibly stress relief from some problem in their life. The drinker hasn't gotten sloppy or lost total control of his life or body yet and he, his family and friends still don't know what personal hell awaits him, should he be a "real alcoholic".
Stage Two - More Alcohol, More Often, More DUI
By now the alcoholic is drinking more often and for any reason. He may even be fabricating problems to drink over. He is now probably drinking until he exceeds socially acceptable limits or until he losses control of his physical and mental capabilities. He may have even been arrested by now for driving under the influence of alcohol. In this middle stage of alcoholism the family and friends become aware that there may be a problem, but the alcoholic himself, may think his only problem is that his friends and family think he's got a problem. He is sure that they just don't understand he could quit anytime he wants to. Not now of course, he just needs everyone to get off his back and he'll be fine.
Stage Three - Is It Too Late?
The chronic stage of alcoholism is terrifying for the family and any friend that may be left in the alcoholic's life. They are watching his body and mind slip away due to internal damage to vital organs. Damage that may be irreversible and can result in hepatitis, heart failure, cirrhosis of the liver, etc. They try to talk some sense into him, but it may be too late. All of their talk just gives him more problems to drink over. In many cases it takes a traumatic or very embarrassing event, such as a DUI or drunk driving arrest to get the alcoholics attention to the extent that he really wants to stop drinking. Even if he really wants to stop, he's about to find out how easy it is not!
Alcohol Detox or Withdrawal Symptoms - Alcohol Withdrawal Syndrome
Alcohol detox or withdrawal symptoms that are experienced by people who have stopped drinking alcohol abruptly (cold turkey) can range from mild to life-threatening if not properly treated. The severity of these alcohol withdrawal symptoms is usually dependent upon how "alcohol dependent" the chronic drinker has become. Those who drink heavily on a daily basis of course have developed a high level of dependency on alcohol and will almost certainly experience at least some severe withdrawal symptoms, but even those who drink alcohol daily, but not heavily and those who drink alcohol heavily but not daily, can also be chemically dependent upon alcohol.
When someone who has become "alcohol dependent" stops drinking abruptly, they will experience some level of physical discomfort. This is why it is extremely difficult for alcoholics to stop drinking "on their own" without the assistance and support of an alcohol rehab center or support group.
The Shakes, Sweats, Nausea, Headache, Rapid Heart Beat and Increased Blood Pressure
For some, who are less chemically dependent, withdrawal symptoms might be as "mild" as merely getting the shakes, the sweats or night sweats - perhaps nausea, headache, anxiety, a rapid heart beat and increased blood pressure.
Although these alcohol withdrawal symptoms are uncomfortable and irritating, they are not necessarily dangerous. But they are often accompanied by the "craving" for more alcohol, making the decision to continue abstinence much more difficult to make without counseling or support.
Even the "morning after hangover" of someone who only occasionally drinks to excess, is actually a mild form of alcohol withdrawal from the excesses of the night before, as the alcohol content of their blood begins to drop. The symptoms can appear within a few hours after not drinking.
More Serious - Hallucinations and Seizures
Within six to 48 hours after not drinking, hallucinations may develop for the more seriously alcohol dependent. These are usually visual hallucinations but they can also involve sounds and smells. They can last for a few hours or up to weeks at a time. Also within this time frame after quitting, convulsions or seizures can occur, which is the point at which alcoholism and alcohol withdrawal becomes dangerous if not medically treated.
I'll Never Drink Again, Really!!!
After a particularly damaging or embarrassing alcohol binge, a seriously dependent alcohol drinker will make an oath to "never drink again" and really mean it this time.
However, when severe alcohol withdrawal symptoms begin and the "phenomenon of craving" sets in, the body is telling the drinker that it needs more alcohol. When the physical symptoms of alcohol withdrawal begin to intensify, taking another drink simply becomes less painful than not taking one or so it seems at the time. Thus, the vicious, repetitive cycle of binge drinking, sobering up, emerging remorseful and swearing off, only to drink again when the pain gets too bad, begins and repeats over and over again.
Chronic Alcoholism - The DT's (Delirium Tremens)
Chronic alcoholism and it's severe withdrawal symptoms may progress to delirium tremens (DT's) after three to five days without alcohol. The symptoms of DT's include profound confusion, disorientation, hallucinations, hyperactivity and extreme cardiovascular disturbances. This condition causes shifts in your breathing, your circulation and your temperature control. It can cause your heart to race or can cause your blood pressure to increase dramatically and it can cause serious dehydration.
Once DT's begin, there is no known medical treatment to stop them. Grand mal seizures, heart attacks and strokes can occur during the DT's, all of these serious alcohol withdrawal symptoms can be fatal to an alcoholic if not properly treated.
If you or someone you care about is experiencing Alcohol Withdrawal Syndrome, please contact an alcohol detox center before it's too late!

Thanks, nod, this is helpful. There have been some newcomers the past couple days asking specifically about alcohol withdrawal. This is good guidance.

It's perfect & very helpful. I absolutely wish I had seen this back when I needed it and was scared & confused & wondering if I was going to die.
I called a local "ask a nurse" line in desperation and was given very little information or advice as to what I was experiencing.
I strongly encourage anyone who has questions on withdrawal to take the time & read this through. Very helpful Obi!

I read this and have tears in my eyes, I think back to how i went through alot of that i did it on my own at home with my children worried sick over me, i would not let them call anyone said i could do it,, I did however now reading this i could have died all because i was to assamed to let others in.. So worried about what others would think of me. I am happy to be here today to try and help others.. Even just as happy that everyone in my family knows now and understands to the best they can, Thanks for the post

I appreciate your posts. I too experienced this but didn't have the knowledge as to what was happening to me. I just knew I was really, really sick in every sense of the word "sick".

I haven't had the opportunity to ask my girlfriend, who just had a stroke and her husband die recently, if she was detoxing herself from drugs and alcohol.
I'll betcha a million bucks that's what caused her stroke. Well, of course, the drug and alcohol abuse alone could do that. But I'm thinking because her husband died and had the same issues, that she gave it up cold turkey.
I've always home-detoxed but never totally alone. My bf would monitor my blood pressure and help me as much as he was capable. Even then, there were times he thought it was touch-n-go for me. My worst times were from vodka, years ago.
I encourage anybody to seek a doctor's opinion before home-detoxing. A doctor that is knowledgeable about addictions.

See, Inthe not so distant past, I've made it about 10 before I go buck wild and start drinking all over again. . The worst withdrawal i have had (and believe me, i have been drinking long and hard) is restless energy , night sweats (BAD BAD BAD,) and I also have these terrible nightmares, that wake me. But I've survived it.
One prevalent thought that used to care me was that if I have practically been drinking everyday for years and years, I will SURELY have DTs and could die from it.
Each time i took the risk, that didnt happen to me.
Just saying, some of this stuff scares a newcomer (like moi)_ in to not taking the step to staying sober on their own...even if just for a few days.
I think that if anyone is ready to stop for a few days, or any set amount of time, ,and they want to it on their own, it's OK to try as long as you have a good friend, and the hospital programmed on speed dial.

The Hood River County Fair Board is looking for people willing to volunteer as chairmen and co-chairmen at the annual county fair.
Positions are open in a variety of open class departments, including hobbies and handicrafts, clothing, youth baked goods, food preservation, and many others. Potential volunteers are invited to apply for positions in departments reflecting their own interests, said county fair chairwoman Clara Rice.
Those considering the jobs are asked to contact fair personnel about the positions soon, so that names can be included in the 2002 Fair Book.
Duties of the open class department chairs and co-chairs include working portions of Monday and Tuesday, July 29-30, receiving exhibits and setting up, and working with exhibit judges Tuesday afternoon. They are then asked to spend some time during the fair providing security in the exhibit area and answering visitors' questions.
"Working at the fair is a great way to meet county residents and visitors, to enjoy the diversity of products and projects made by local people, and to have a role in what is truly one of the summer's big events," Rice said. "The Hood River County Fair has even received the honor of being named `Oregon's Best Fair'," she said.
For complete information, call the fair office at 354-2865. If there is no answer, leave a message and your call will be returned.
