After a couple of weeks of rest, I wanted to give my impressions of the Project Conference and P12. It was great to see the big crowd and interest in Project. You could get a real sense for the number of attendees in the keynotes (over 1500) ... but otherwise the layout of the facility made it tough to feel the buzz of a big set of people. While I loved being in Seattle for the evening events, I missed the layout of the Microsoft Briefing Center during the sessions. Thanks to everyone who attended the conference. It is a big commitment in time and money. I hope that we (product group) gave you what you needed and wanted wrt technical content on P12.
On to P12 ... I am now able to talk about a few features that were kept under wraps before the Project Conference. I am going to start with features that may have been too subtle (or our presentation too fast) for folks to fully grok their potential.
1. Operations Activities: This feature is an umbrella term for the ability to create web-based task lists that support dependencies, scheduling, assignments, timesheeting, reporting, etc. We view this feature being used primarily to capture work that does not need or is difficult to manage like a project. You are provided with a very simple web-based UI in Project Web Access that lets you create the task list. In the Project Server back-end, operations activities are simply projects with a unique type. Operations activities can be upgraded so they can be edited using Project Professional.
2. Resource Plans: This feature allows you to define PLANNED work independent of tasks in a project plan. Once you have created a project or operations actitivies (even with zero tasks), you can then use Project Web Access to define how much effort will be spent by resources for how long on the project. You can express effort in hours per day, days per week, and full-time equivalents (similar to units in Project). Resource plans result in the creation of summary resource assignments. This allows the effort defined in the resource plan to show up exactly the same as effort defined through task assignments in a project plan.
These two features open up a number of new scenarios for the Project EPM Solution.
Maintenance and Operations Work
The first is the ability to now easily track maintenance work with Project EPM. Maintenance work is a "routine" activity where it is difficult to exactly predict when it might occur. An example might be applying security patches to your web server. With P12, you can create a zero task operational activity using Project Web Access. Typically you would set the start and end of the operational activity to map to your calendar or fiscal year. Next you create resource plans for the individuals (or team, I will get to that feature next post) that last all year and define the effort as maybe .1 FTE. You have now captured that these individuals will be spending 10% of their available time during the year on patching your web servers. At this point, you will have visibility into ALL the planned work coming from operational activities AND projects. So you get a complete picture of where your resources are planned to be utilized.
How about tracking actual time spent on operational activities? With the new time tracking feature in P12, team members can simply add a row on their timesheet for the operational activity and enter time spent on the activity. You can do this at the project level with no actual assignments on the project. This gets pushed through the reporting system. Now, you can take a look at actual effort spent on the operational activity (coming from timesheets) against the planned effort (coming from resource plans).
This all gets done using a web browser, without Project Professional, and without a SINGLE task in the project plan. The user interface is so simple that no-one should be able to legitmately complain that the UI or process is too complex for them to report planned and actual effort. AND all this functionality is exposed through the Project Server Interface, so you could write your own UI (or synch to your own existing systems) to capture resource plan, operational tasks, and timesheets.
These two features really do enable any organization at virtually any level of project management maturity to begin collecting information on what work is planned, which resources are allocated to that work, and how actuals compare to plans. This opens up a level of visibility and control that was very hard to get in prior versions of Project. And unlike competitive projects, operations work completely fits into Project Server reporting PLUS it is easily upgraded so you can start using Project when operations work require more project management.
Rolling Wave Planning
Who has ever done the following? You are asked to build out a project plan. You know the detailed tasks for the first 30% of the project but the rest of the project is only understood at a high level. But folks want to know the planned resourcing levels for the entire project. So you end up creating a "dummy" sub-task under the summary tasks in the future and assigning resources to them. Later, you create a real WBS under the summary tasks and divide the work formally on the sub-task onto the real tasks. This is a real pain.
In P12, you can represent a project and its potential resource needs from day one w/o any knowledge of how you will get the project done (i.e., a WBS). You create an operational activity with no tasks, just a start and finish date. Then you create resource plans. At this point, you can go through a project review/selection process. As you add details to the plan, you upgrade the operational activity to Project professional and adjust the resource plans so they are only used for the latter parts of the project where you do not yet know the tasks.
This really does give you the best of both worlds. You can quickly capture high-level resource demand while also being able to switch to detailed tasks. Instead of needing to edit all those dummy tasks, you manage one resource plan per resource on the project.
These P12 features are going to enable folks to capture project ideas and resource demand far earlier and easier than ever before. Again, you get the same great reporting features in Project Server from operational activities and projects. Plus operational activities are easily upgraded to projects when you are ready to build out a detailed project plan.
IMO, these two features alone completely change the range of customers who could benefit from Project EPM. With P12, you have the ability to capture all the work going on in your organization ... and can do so with very low complexity = web-based (no deployment issues) and simple UI (very limited training required). Once you have all of your resource demands understood, the quality of your project and resourcing decision-making is going to improve significantly. When you add these new capabilities with the new portfolio management technology that we have acquired from UMT, you really have a big leap forward in the value of Project EPM for making decisions at the CxO level.

On this installment of ST, we speak with local gardening expert Barry Fugatt, who is also the resident horticulturist at the Tulsa Garden Center as well as the director of the Linnaeus Teaching Garden. (Both facilities are based at Woodward Park here in Tulsa.) As Fugatt tells us today, the Linnaeus Teaching Garden -- named for Carl Linnaeus, the Swedish naturalist and so-called "father of botany" -- will celebrate its tenth anniversary tomorrow (Saturday the 4th) with a special day of open-to-the-public activities. Heller Theatre Company Presents "Dead Man's Cell Phone" at the Henthorne PAC in Tulsa By Rich Fisher • Jan 21, 2015 On this edition of ST, we learn about the new Heller Theatre Company presentation of "Dead Man's Cell Phone," which opens at the Henthorne PAC here in Tulsa (at 4825 So. Quaker) on Friday the 23rd. (It runs through February 1st.) "Dead Man's Cell Phone" -- a celebrated and off-the-wall comedy by Sarah Ruhl, the forty-ish American playwright and MacArthur "Genius" Fellowship recipient -- was given the Helen Hayes Award for Outstanding New Play after it premiered in 2007. James Pepper Henry, Head of the Heard Museum in Phoenix, Will Soon Become the Director of Gilcrease By Rich Fisher • Jan 8, 2015 (Photo: Craig Smith / Heard Museum) On this edition of ST, we speak by phone with James Pepper Henry, director of the well-regarded Heard Museum in Phoenix, Arizona, who's just been named at the new director of the Gilcrease Museum here in Tulsa. Pepper Henry will begin his tenure at Gilcrease in late March. He's a member of Oklahoma's Kaw Nation, and in a statement released on Monday the 5th, he referred to his upcoming arrival at Gilcrease as "a real homecoming.... I have lots of family and friends in Oklahoma. The museum's founder, Thomas Gilcrease, and I share Muscogee Creek heritage. "Wahzhazhe: An Osage Ballet" Returns to Tulsa By Rich Fisher • Aug 20, 2013 The Osage ballet, "Wahzhazhe," had its premiere last summer here in Oklahoma; it was first conceived of about four years ago, and was originally inspired by a suite of music by Lou Brock, an Osage composer. This contemporary ballet brings together certain special qualities of Osage history and culture: a reverence for classical ballet (which was, of course, the legacy of two famous Osage ballerinas, Maria and Marjorie Tallchief) and a deep respect also for the richness of Osage traditional music, dance, and textile arts. The Tulsa PAC @ 35 By Rich Fisher • Mar 15, 2012 Thirty-five years ago, in March of 1977, in the heart of downtown, the Tulsa Performing Arts Center first opened its doors --- and Ella Fitzgerald, backed by the Tulsa Philharmonic, offered this beloved venue's debut performance. Built with a combination of public and private funds, following a 1973 bond issue, the Tulsa PAC is owned and operated by the City of Tulsa; it remains a leading arts/cultural/performance space for Tulsans of all ages and backgrounds.

Loss of Lives in Clinical Trials...
Researchers Now Have a Myriad of...
Clinical-Style Validation, Regulation, and Quality Control...
Capitol Hill Critics Second-Guess Agencies Using...
Scientists have identified 56 genes that are essential to cancer cell survival and may represent accessible targets for therapeutic development. In each case only one copy of the target gene is present in the cancer cell due to copy number loss resulting from genomic instability. For each identified gene, inhibiting the remaining copy in a cancer leads to cell death or blocks proliferation. And unlike classical oncogenes that drive cancer proliferation, most of the newly identified targets play roles in fundamental cellular processes and structures, including the spliceosome, ribosome, and proteasome.
The new discoveries are described by a team headed by researchers at the Broad Institute of Harvard and MIT, and the Dana Farber Cancer Institute. Rameen Beroukhim, M.D., William C. Hahn, M.D., and colleagues wanted to see which genes other than tumor suppressor genes affected by copy number loss were most critical to cell survival. "When tumor suppressor genes are lost, its common for several nearby genes, which play no role in cancer development, to be lost as well," Dr. Hahn explains. Building on a theory proposed some 20 years ago that blocking the remaining copies of some of these neighbouring genes could be lethal to cancer cells, the team first analyzed the copy number profiles of over 3,100 samples from widely diverse samples, and found that most exhibited copy number loss affecting at least 11%, and up to 40% of their genomes. Many of the genes affected were recurrently lost due to passenger events or because of their proximity to a frequently deleted tumor suppressor gene.
The team then combined their data with data from project Achilles, a Dana-Farber initiative that has identified hundreds of genes critical to cancer cell proliferation. From a starting set of over 5,000 genes, they identified 56 for which loss of one copy in a cancer cell rendered the remaining copy essential to cancer cell survival.
Top of this list of 56 designated CYCLOPS (copy number alterations yielding cancer liabilities owing to partial loss) genes in terms of cancer cell dependence was the proteasome gene PSMC2. One copy of this gene was frequently lost in the cancer cells evaluated, but it was never missing altogether, indicating that at least one copy was essential for cell survival. To verify the importance of PSMC2 in vivo, the team blocked the remaining copy of the gene in mice carrying tumors that already lacked one copy of PSMC2. The result was dramatic tumor shrinkage. "It was a powerful demonstration of the potential of CYCLOPS genes to serve as targets for cancer therapy," Dr. Beroukhim states.
The researchers say CYCLOPS genes represent a specific form of synthetic lethality, a phenomenon through which the combination of mutations in two or more genes leads to cell death, whereas a mutation in either one alone does not. But in the case of the CYCLOPS genes, blocking the target is lethal to cells completely independently to the pathways that actually drive the cancer itself. Drs. Beroukhim, Hahn et al., report their results in Cell, in a paper titled "Cancer Vulnerabilities Unveiled by Genomic Loss."

Which coat REALLY keeps you dry? We asked our writer to test five stylish macs
under a rain machine. So which of them coped with the deluge best?
With all the wet weather in recent weeks, keeping dry whilst out and about has never been more important, but how do you look stylish at the same time? Alice Smellie put five high-street macs to the test and here are the - often sodden - results...
MAC: Meeliye panelled in jade, £239, tedbaker.com
This looks more like a dress than a mac. The collar doesn't meet in the
middle, leaving my neck chilly, and it's the only coat I try that's not
double-breasted. The buttons are hidden on the inside, which looks
neat, and there's a colourful floral silk lining for a bit of oomph.
However, there's no waterproofing.
DELUGE: Eeek! The short length means my legs were drenched. Droplets soaked right through the coat's lining at the bottom and into my dress, which now looks two-tone. And my neck was drenched. 5/10
Alice gives this Ted Baker mac a spin under the rain machine, but it only scores 5/10
MAC: £65, very.co.uk
Yuk! This is my least favourite style of all the coats I try. It looks
like a traditional trench coat, but the fabric feels cheap and the
colour is lurid.
It's as thin and wafty as a summer dress, and has only two buttons to do up the whole thing. I'm mentally preparing myself for a soaking. It claims to be a classic fashion piece, but doesn't claim to be waterproof — and I'm not so sure about the classic fashion piece part either.
DELUGE: My arms and shoulders are saturated in seconds. I don't think I can take any more. I look like a shipwreck survivor, only less happy. 0/10
This Myleene Klass coat is Alice's least favourite and it leaves her looking like a shipwreck survivor
MAC: Breton stripe, £129, boden.co.uk
STYLE: What a jolly number! The cotton twill outer fabric looks hardy and it's longer than the others — hopefully that might better protect my knees. Breton stripes lend a little chic to my school run. It claims to be shower resistant — the fabric is applied with Teflon for a water-repellent surface.
DELUGE: While nothing seeps through to my dress, I'm disappointed that, under cloud-burst conditions, rainwater floods through the gaping neckline. I feel rather damp — so it's not quite as shower resistant as it claims, but not bad. 7/10
Alice thinks this striped breton design from Boden is jolly and doesn't leave her too damp
MAC: NW3 Tara, £189, hobbs.co.uk
STYLE: This petal pink coat is a lovely colour, but it's as flimsy as it is flirty. It's incredibly roomy — I could fit my thickest knits underneath. While it's styled to look like a classic mac, and on this basis I'd buy it in an instant, it doesn't have waterproofing.
DELUGE: Thirty seconds in, my shoulders and legs are sodden and my dress is almost completely soaked through. I need a long, hot bath. And a different coat. It's all very disappointing considering the high price. 3/10
Alice loves the flirty colour of this coat but is disappointed by the quality considering the price
MAC: Petite pure cotton belted with Stormwear, £79, marksandspencer.com
STYLE: Similar to the iconic Burberry trench, but a tenth of the price. It's made from 100 per cent cotton treated with Stormwear — a stain and water-repellent treatment developed by M&S — and is claimed to be showerproof. The high collar protects my neck and the fabric feels thick and warm.
DELUGE: Only a few light dribbles have trickled down my neck where the rain has got in at the collar. Other than that, this is surprisingly waterproof. Well done, M&S! 9/10
This M&S coat is Alice's winner, she scores it 9/10
Dress: Limited Edition bodycon dress, £35, Marksandspencer.com Styling: Eliza Scarborough, Pictures: L+R Hair & make-up: Julie Read using Paul Mitchell and Bare Minerals, Fashion assistant: Amy Kester.

Does your only talk about their future family? Do they talk about how many kids they want?
Cassidy (6) talks about her "sweeties." That's her nickname for her future kids. She wants two kids (at least one being a girl). I wanted two kids when I was a kid and I grew up in a two kid home.
I'm curious if there are onlies that talk about having one kid or if some of our onlies dream about having a large family (not that I call 2 kids large).

Local health officials are warning residents to stay vigilant in the coming weeks as cooler weather and earlier sunsets cause people to drop their guard against mosquitoes carrying West Nile Virus.
The Oakland County Health Division issued the warning Tuesday that the disease is still a threat until freezing overnight temperatures become more commonplace.
Oakland County Health Division Manager and Health Officer Kathy Forzley said residents should be cautious at this time of year when most people either no longer expect mosquitoes Ś or the communicable diseases they carry Ś to be a problem.
ôAs it's getting darker earlier, people are out walking at their normal time,ö she said. ôWe find this time of year people thinking that weĺre out of the woods, that it's over, that precautions we've been taking all summer long aren't needed anymore.
ôThat's simply not the case Ś you still need to be diligent.ö
West Nile Virus is a communicable disease spread by certain varieties of mosquitoes. Of the more than 60 mosquito species in Michigan, Culex pipiens (the common house mosquito) is responsible for 70 percent of all positive samples of West Nile Virus among mosquitoes.
The disease can potentially be deadly, but shows no symptoms in 80 percent of cases. The remaining 20 percent show symptoms such as fever, headaches, body aches, nausea, vomiting and the like. These symptoms can last a few days to several weeks.
Itĺs when a serious case pops up that health officials are usually notified, Forzley said. About one in 150 infected people will become severely ill from the disease, causing such symptoms as disorientation, tremors, stupor, convulsions, muscle weakness, loss of vision, numbness and paralysis Ś with lasting neurological effects.
So far, there have been 28 cases of West Nile Virus and one death reported in 2013. In 2012, there were 240 reported cases with 17 deaths in Michigan.
But these reported cases typically represent those afflicted with the more severe symptoms of the disease, as well as those who found out they carried the disease following a blood test or post-donation blood screening Ś one this year and 38 last year, according to Angela Minicuci with the Michigan Department of Community Health.
ôUnfortunately there's not an estimate out there,ö she said. ôThe majority of people don't show signs that they hosted it. It's just in their system and their body's fighting it off.ö
Minicuci added that most people who contract the disease, which thrives in densely populated areas, might shrug it off as something unrelated that typically doesnĺt cause people to take a trip to their physician, such as influenza or the common cold Ś but every confirmed case likely indicates many more going unreported.
ôWe do know that it's circulating in the environment much more than in the cases we have,ö she said. ôWhen we see a high volume of cases in one area, all it takes is one bite of an infected host and they can transmit it to everyone they bite after that.ö
Recent years pale in comparison to 2002, when the disease was first reported in humans in Michigan. That year, there were 644 cases reported with 51 deaths total.
Minicuci said that this yearĺs numbers are what the state typically observes.
ôWe've learned a lot that we can do to prevent West Nile,ö Minicuci said, ôSo whether itĺs just testing and creating awareness or potentially baiting the water to kill mosquitoes, we've come a very long way in Michigan.ö
Forzley said that the reduced number of reported cases from last year has a lot to do with Michiganĺs ever-so-fickle weather patterns.
ôLast year was a very hard year because we had many weeks of warm dry weather, which is something that this mosquito needs to mature and become a problem for transmitting West Nile Virus,ö she said. ôWe had a very stormy, volatile season this year. Short-duration storms tend to knock out mosquito egg rafts.ö
It could also have something to do with a combination of several factors.
ôStrong prevention campaigns have made a difference in Oakland county,ö Forzley said. ôOur numbers were lower; I think people are being more diligent throughout the season in protecting themselves. It's probably a combination of a lot of things, as well as the immunities built up in people.ö
Forzley said that despite the risk of West Nile Virus, it shouldnĺt keep people indoors during the last few days of warm weather.

West Nile Virus can be prevented by simply avoiding mosquito bites. Try practicing these safety tips from the Oakland County Health Division:
Use insect repellent containing active ingredients registered with the EPA.
Wear protective clothing such as long-sleeved shirts and pants.
Limit outdoor activity between dusk and dawn when mosquitoes are most active.
Avoid areas where mosquitoes may be present, such as in the shaded or wooded areas.
Maintain and repair window and door screens to keep mosquitoes out of buildings.
Get rid of mosquito breeding sites by emptying standing water in things like birdbaths, boats, buckets, tires, pools and gutters.

Come September, the already quiet island off the shore of Wilmington, NC, becomes nearly deserted except for the 160 people who call the island home year round. With no cars on the island, you'll find a peaceful silence that's hard to find anywhere else. While the weather gets a little chilly, the water is still warm. But for those who would rather stay dry, the world-class golf course, the conservatory's bird walks and Old Baldy lighthouse round out a relaxing getaway.

The 225-mile Katy Trail runs along the Missouri River for much of the way and cuts right through the state's wine country. In the 1800s, this area is also where German immigrants settled, bringing their wine-making traditions along with them. There are plenty of adorable B&Bs situated along the trail if you need a rest from a long day of biking or hiking through the dense forests and limestone bluffs.

In the fall, Boston is the destination for crisp weather, history and excitement. Hop across the Charles River to explore Cambridge and sit in Harvard Yard for excellent people watching, then recharge in one of the many independent coffee shops, expand your mind in the 82-year-old Harvard Book Store and finally, grab a cleverly named, famous burger from Mr. Bartley's. We recommend The Big Papi with a side of sweet potato fries.

Cape May is great in the summer, but it's magical in the fall. Autumn is when monarch butterflies converge upon this beach town for a few charmed weeks during their migration. Stop for brunch at the Blue Pig Tavern in Congress Hall (a favorite spot for President Ulysses S. Grant) before doing some serious shopping along Washington Street or bike riding along Beach Avenue.
Pennsylvania Dutch Country, better known as Lancaster, PA, is an idyllic place to visit during the harvest season. There are apple orchards ripe for the picking, corn mazes that hearken back to a simpler time and farmers markets bursting with homemade baked goods and fresh produce. And just 30 minutes northeast, you'll find "Antiques Capital, USA," Adamstown, PA, home to over 3,000 antique dealers, traditional Pennsylvania Dutch cuisine and, of course, that Amish charm.

Oktoberfest in Leavenworth, WA, is one of the most extravagant Oktoberfests in the US. For 3 weekends in October, visitors descend upon the foothills of the Cascade Mountains to explore the traditional Bavarian village and get their fill of authentic cuisine and imported beer. But even if it's not October, there's still much to love about this town, from the Bavarian architecture to the Maipole in the town square.

Located in Lake Huron, this island resort is not only a National Historic Landmark, but it is also a portal back in time to when Victorian architecture was prominent and the only modes of transportation were foot, bicycle or horse. Mackinac Island is known for its opulent fall foliage in October, and it is also famous for its fudge. In fact, many of the island's confectioners have been making fudge for more than a century.

Head beyond San Francisco, across the Golden Gate Bridge, to the sublime setting of Marin County. This is a prime spot for outdoor enthusiasts, who will never want to go indoors. Take a winding drive into the region's mountains to visit Muir Woods National Monument. A easy hike through towering redwoods -- that range in age from 400-800 years old -- will leave you breathless. Afterwards, head back down the mountains into Mill Valley, where quaint shops and first-rate cuisine await.

You can't go wrong with a stroll (or a cruise) along San Antonio's famous River Walk in the fall. Tucked just below street level, the River Walk features some of the city's best restaurants, shops and galleries -- all just steps away from The Alamo. And the Natural Bridge Caverns are only a 30-minute drive away if you're up for a little amateur spelunking. Take a tour 180 feet underground to see stunning natural formations or head over to Bracken Cave to see one of the world's largest bat colonies.

With its surprisingly moderate climate and otherworldly terrain, Sedona is a town full of surprises. The town is considered a spiritual mecca because it's considered home to a series of vortexes and whirlpools of energy that are believed to facilitate mediation and healing. Whether you believe this or not, stop in one of the many spiritual gift shops for the chance to get your aura read. Or just take a Jeep tour high into the red rocks for a surreal adventure.
Shenandoah Valley's Skyline Drive offers 105 miles of scenic byway surrounded by stunning views of the Blue Ridge Mountains in Virginia. Whether you tackle the sloping, winding road by bike or car, you'll encounter plenty of quaint Virginian towns along the way. Stop in Staunton's Red Brick District to check out the arts scene or visit Waynesboro for world-class fishing.

Visit the Great Smoky Mountains for a relaxing getaway. Head to Blackberry Farm, nestled in the foothills, for a luxurious stay that's not to be missed. For travelers looking for adventure, there's hiking, fly-fishing and horseback riding aplenty in these iconic mountains.

If you're looking for a scenic wine tour to kick off the autumn season, skip the tourists of Napa and head straight for Walla Walla, WA, a hot, new destination for wine connoisseurs. Not only is the region home to more than 100 wineries, but Walla Walla was also named "Friendliest Small Town" by both USA Todayand Rand McNally. Head to Maryhill Winery to indulge in wine tasting and live music in the vineyard's gorge, surrounded by breathtaking scenery.

Many people have "see the Grand Tetons" on their bucket list, but they probably never thought they could see them like this. The Jackson Hole Aerial Tram takes you 4,136 vertical feet above Snake River Valley, Grand Teton National Park and the Gros Ventre Range. Did we mention the 360-degree views? But once you've recovered from the shock and awe of the amazing views, explore the topnotch restaurants, quirky shops and luxury resorts in town.
Jackson Hole Mountain Resort
There's never a bad time to visit Savannah, GA, and if you head just 30 minutes east to the shore, you'll find the secret treasure that is Tybee Island. If you're lucky enough to be on the Island in October, you should experience the annual Pirate Fest when the island transforms into a pirate village. During your stay, climb to the top of Tybee Lighthouse to watch the sun set, but make sure you keep an eye out for incoming scallywags.

Cabot Trail is a scenic highway located around the rugged, northern coastline of Cape Breton Island. Locally referred to as "Trunk 30," it passes through Cape Breton Highlands National Park, the Margaree River Valley and along Bras d'Or Lake. Highlights of the drive include the Alexander Graham Bell National Historic Site in Baddeck, whale watching in Pleasant Bay, quaint fishing villages such as Belle Cote and Dingwall, and the North Highlands Community Museum in Cape North. — Kwin Mosby, Managing Producer
While the Delmarva Peninsula is a regular summer getaway for residents of the mid-Atlantic, I personally love it best in the fall. Filled with farmers markets, local festivals and regional parks, the area always has plenty to do this time of year. Entertain the whole family by picking pumpkins at a roadside stand, or get lost in the Breckenridge corn maze. For a more adult venture, tease your taste buds at the Good Beer Festival or Autumn Wine Festival on your way through Salisbury. Then, make the short drive down to Assateague Island to see the wild ponies gallop along pristine coastline. And of course, no fall trip to the Eastern Shore would be complete without one last crab feast along the Wicomico River. — Matt Dewhurst, Interactive Producer
National Park Service
You haven't lived until you've seen the Twin Cities in the fall. Take a scenic leaf-peeping drive along Minnehaha Parkway in Minneapolis or Summit Avenue in St. Paul, or head down River Road to see the leaves on both sides of the Mississippi River. Go hiking and biking in nearby Fort Snelling State Park and Afton State Park. Sports venues are popular spots in the fall, too. Watch the season wind down for the Minnesota Twins at Target Field; catch a Minnesota Vikings or University of Minnesota Golden Gophers football game at TCF Bank Stadium; and cheer on runners in the annual Twin Cities Marathon. For shoppers looking for a new fall wardrobe, take advantage of the tax-free shopping on all apparel. — Kwin Mosby, Managing Producer
Meet Minneapolis
The crowds on Cape Cod, like the summer heat, begin to fade in the fall. It's a great time to explore the cape and enjoy the crisp weather by the sea. I recommend checking out the sites by foot or bike and soaking in the weather on walks along the dunes. While the beach may not be the top priority to visit during the fall, you can enjoy everything from a Cranberry Harvest Celebration to the OysterFest to a Haunted History Tour. While you're there, check out the Wellfleet OysterFest, a 2-day, family-friendly festival that celebrates the oysters, clams and shell-fishing traditions that the town is famous for. — Kristen Kochanski, Photo Editor

This forested region south of Paris is a magical bouldering area that everyone should visit at least once. It has enough rock climbing to last a lifetime, and you can spend hours wandering through the forests playing on the amazing sandstone boulders. During this season, you can see the beauty of the fall foliage, which could rival the best locations in the US. I recommend starting each day at a local bakery to enjoy a pain au chocolat (chocolate croissant), and be sure to grab a baguette, some foie gras and a bottle of Bordeaux to snack on at the boulder fields. On rest days, visit the town of Fontainebleau or take the train into Paris for some sightseeing. — Arthur Hsu, Video Project Manager

For me, the ideal vacation day ends with sore muscles, dirty hiking shoes and a warm drink while watching the sun set over an alpine lake. That's why my fall getaway is Jackson Hole, WY. Combine stunning vistas of the Tetons with exciting outdoor activities, take out the tourists, and you have a perfect place to forget that you have to be back at work the next week. — Josh Levin, Digital Operations Manager
This quaint coastal town quiets down a lot after Labor Day, making fall the perfect time to stroll the scenic trails and beaches at Cape Henlopen State Park without the crowds. Enjoy the cooler weather, a canal view and some seafood and pub fare with an outdoor table at Irish Eyes, followed by some window-shopping in the local boutiques downtown. My husband always likes to get in a round of golf at nearby Baywood Greens, after which we settle in for a few cocktails on the clubhouse deck overlooking the lush landscape of the 18th hole. If beer is more your style, take the 20-minute drive to Milton, DE, where you can tour the Dogfish Head Craft Brewery and visit its tasting room. — Hannah Prince, Digital Copy Editor
Baywood Greens
Spend 1 weekend in New Orleans during the fall, and you will quickly understand why visiting the Big Easy in autumn is a must. This city keeps locals and visitors busy with countless of events from late September through November, including Oktoberfest, the Oak Street Po-Boy Festival, the Louisiana Seafood Festival and the Voodoo Music and Arts Experience, a 3-day Halloween weekend concert series. New Orleans also hosts costume events, such as Boo at the Zoo at Audubon Zoo, and fun street events on Bourbon and St. Ann Streets in the heart of the French Quarter. — Rani Robinson, Director
Kevin Donnigan
Seems as though everyone knows someone who's moved to Austin these days, and Austin City Limits is the perfect excuse to crash at their place. The 2-weekend music festival inspired by the PBS concert series has become increasingly popular in its own right, featuring 100-plus impressive acts, an art market and some of the best Austin eats, with vegetarian and gluten-free options, of course. If you're looking to detox after 3 days of nonstop bands and BBQ, pick up a Green Light smoothie from JuiceLand before Zenning out in BFree Yoga's beautiful studio space. — Sara Gilliam, Senior Interactive Producer

My favorite time to visit New York is early autumn, when the air is crisp and you can spend all day outside without melting. People-watch at High Line Park, stroll along the Brooklyn Bridge, or take the East River Ferry to Brooklyn with spectacular views of Lower Manhattan and the wind in your hair. End the day at Frying Pan, a multilevel, historic floating bar at Chelsea Piers, for prime sunset viewing with a backdrop of the Hudson River.— Kathleen Rellihan, Interactive Producer

It's understandable why it's called the Windy City, because once winter rolls around, Chicago turns cold, unpleasant (temperature-wise) and very — you guessed it — windy. But if you're lucky enough to book a flight for the fall, you're in for a real treat. Take in a Bears game at Chicago's famed Soldier Field, or join in the family fun picking pumpkins at nearby Heap's Giant Pumpkin Farm, a 30-acre pumpkin patch where you can cut your favorite straight off the vine yourself. And if you happen to find yourself in town in mid- to late October, take in a few of the upcoming year's best new movies during the Chicago International Film Festival. — Ben Breslerman, Interactive Producer

In Henniker, NH, you'll find this covered bridge on Bridge Street (Route 114). The secret to getting this shot? Go to the stone bridge outside the New England College campus, carefully climb down the big boulders and look under the bridge!

In central Massachusetts, the peak times for fall foliage are usually around mid-October. Around this time, you'll find gorgeous fall foliage on the outskirts of the Quabbin Reservoir. I was staying at Hartman's Herb Farm Bed & Breakfast and was traveling down Old Dana Road when I captured the sun lighting up this maple tree.
Travel up Route 16 past Mount Washington and Pinkham Notch and you'll find yourself in Milan, NH. Look for signs for Milan Hill State Park and while the road to the top is a dirt one, the average car has no problem getting there. Once at the top of the road, climb to the fire tower, catch your breath and then pick up your jaw which will be hanging wide open because of the view.
As you drive along Route 16 through Tamworth, NH, south of Conway, plan to stop at Lake Chocorua early in the morning. This is the best spot to view the surrounding fall foliage and the mountain peeking above the morning fog bank on the lake.
The picturesque St. John's Church can be found on Route 2 between Lancaster and Gorham, NH, on the corner of Black Velvet Road. There is also another small church nearby and a stone tower right near the road -- perfect for photo ops.
Down in my neck of the woods near Salem, MA, we have a short scenic byway located between Salem and Peabody. The fall foliage usually peaks the second week in October around here. I always love to find fall foliage peaking close to home -- that way I can spend more time taking photos versus driving all day.
The Jenne Farm in Reading is one of my favorite classic fall foliage scenes in Vermont. Make sure you visit the large maple tree on the farm and put in a donation to help the owners keep the farm running. You can purchase Vermont-made maple syrup and other products on their front porch.
Between Lynn and Saugus, MA, lies the breathtaking Birch Pond. I'm standing on the edge of a busy road and I wonder if those going to and from work notice the beauty.
Traveling the back roads of Vermont is where the prettiest landscape scenery can be found.
This photograph was taken early to mid-October in the Green Mountains of Vermont. I drove down Route 7 to Danby looking for a particular farm and spotted these white horses grazing, not even noticing all the incredible fall colors running up the sides of the mountains.
My wife and I visited the foothills of Vermont's Green Mountains. We were on the eastern side in the late afternoon looking for long dirt roads lined with lots of mature maple trees. While we found that, I stumbled upon this small shed sitting in the field with views of the mountains in the distance.

Credit Card from Linux Foundation to Benefit Community Events
Emblazoned with the Linux mascot, a new Tux credit card from the non-profit Linux Foundation will be issued in co-operation with Visa and the US bank UMB.
The foundation will receive $50 for each card activated plus a percentage of sales with all money going directly into community events and travel costs for members. Jim Zemlin, CEO at LF, explains the idea: "Some people write code while others work on marketing or defending Linux. The Linux-branded credit card is an easy way for anyone to contribute to the growth of Linux and identify themselves as supporters of the community by carrying Tux in their pocket."
Paying with Tux is not a new idea. The Linux Fund has been collecting donations via credit card payments for open-source projects for around ten years and according to their website, current beneficiaries include Gnash, Inkscape and the BSD Fund. At the Linuxtag 2009, Linux Fund representatives admitted they were feeling the effects of the global recession, but their belief in the credit card payment donation idea remained firm.
Currently available to US residents only, plans are being made to expand the scheme to other countries soon.

Environment sketch, need to practice these!!
Very good work on the details O.o I was excepting something to be contrasted to the rest of the picture (aka, like having the "chinese door" drawn in red or in something that makes is pops out of the picture)... That's a very good work, but it seems too "flat": nothing pops out, and there are no "group of things" just like if everything was placed one beside the other on the picture.
beautiful atmosphere
Great background, love it
A sketch? It looks finished to me! XD
Ouah, c'est super beau !! Tu t'en sors super bien pour les décors, continue !
Wow! Absolutely beautiful! Amazing details. It's a brilliant work!

United States v. Bormes
page 1, slip opinion
NOTE: Where it is feasible, a syllabus (headnote) will be released, as is being done in connection with this case, at the time the opinion is issued. The syllabus constitutes no part of the opinion of the Court but has been prepared by the Reporter of Decisions for the convenience of the reader. See United States v. Detroit Timber & Lumber Co., 200 U. S. 321, 337.
UNITED STATES v. BORMES
CERTIORARI TO THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FEDERAL CIRCUITNo. 11–192. Argued October 2, 2012—Decided November 13, 2012
Respondent Bormes, an attorney, filed suit against the Federal Government, alleging that the electronic receipt he received when paying his client's federal-court filing fee on Pay.gov included the last four digits of his credit card number and the card's expiration date, in willful violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA), 15 U. S. C. §1681 et seq. He sought damages under §1681n and asserted jurisdiction under §1681p, as well as under the Little Tucker Act, which grants district courts "original jurisdiction, concurrent with the United States Court of Federal Claims, of . . . [a]ny. . . civil action or claim against the United States, not exceeding $10,000 in amount, founded . . . upon . . . any Act of Congress," 28 U. S. C. §1346(a)(2). In dismissing the suit, the District Court held that FCRA did not explicitly waive the Federal Government's sovereign immunity. Bormes appealed to the Federal Circuit, which vacated the District Court's decision, holding that the Little Tucker Act provided the Government's consent to suit because the underlying statute—FCRA—could fairly be interpreted as mandating a right of recovery in damages.
Held: The Little Tucker Act does not waive the Government's sovereign immunity with respect to FCRA damages actions. Pp. 4–11.
(a) The Little Tucker Act and its companion statute, the Tucker Act, provide the Federal Government's consent to suit for certain money-damages claims "premised on other sources of law," United States v. Navajo Nation, 556 U. S. 287, 290. The general terms of the Tucker Acts are displaced, however, when a law imposing monetary liability has its own judicial remedies. In that event, the specific remedial scheme establishes the exclusive framework for determining the scope of liability under the statute. See, e.g., Hinck v. United States, 550 U. S. 501. Pp. 4–7.
page 2, slip opinion (b) FCRA is such a statute. Its detailed remedial scheme sets "out a carefully circumscribed, time-limited, plaintiff-specific" cause of action, and "also precisely define[s] the appropriate forum," 550 U. S., at 507. FCRA authorizes aggrieved consumers to hold "any person" who "willfully" or "negligent[ly]" fails to comply with the Act's requirements liable for specified damages, 15 U. S. C. §§1681n(a), 1681o; requires enforcement claims to be brought within a specified limitations period, §1681p; and provides that jurisdiction will lie "in any appropriate United States district court, without regard to the amount in controversy," ibid. Because FCRA enables claimants to pursue monetary relief in court without resort to the Tucker Act, only its own text can determine whether Congress unequivocally intended to impose the statute's damages liability on the Federal Government. Pp. 7–10.
626 F. 3d 574, vacated and remanded.
Scalia, J., delivered the opinion for a unanimous Court.
|The current edition of this document derives from the electronic version of the "slip opinion" posted online by the Supreme Court of the United States the day the decision was handed down. It is not the final or most authoritative version. It is subject to further revision by the Court and should be replaced with the final edition when it is published in a print volume of the United States Reports. The Court's full disclaimer regarding slip opinions follows:
This work is in the public domain in the United States because it is a work of the United States federal government (see 17 U.S.C. 105).

What else did I learn while I was away? Well, I learned that some bloggers don't even stop for Christmas or for intercontinental travel! Phew. That's dedication for you. I learned too that there is more than one perfect breakfast -- I found another.
This one is a version of fried eggs with what the Americans call Hot Biscuits (scones to you and me) and Gravy. For the biscuits, I used my usual wholemeal scone recipe and added pepper, garlic and more cayenne than normal. For the gravy, I used this recipe to make a beautiful vegetarian gravy (no animals were harmed in the making of this breakfast). Time your pots and pans right, and you have the perfect plate of early Sunday avo pick-me-up. Beeaauutiful.
Accompanied by a long glass of iced tea and Brian Eno's 'Another Green World,' it's another perfect Sunday brunch.

This is a small wedding cake - 8" and 6" square pan. It was inspired by a picture from the bride (which I do not know where it came from). I was happy with it, for the most part, though it was a little uneven. The bride was going to put roses on top (she wanted it the day before the wedding).

5 Ideas for Revamping NCAA Enforcement
Ideas for overhauling the NCAA's enforcement process, which are due to be circulated to member colleges in coming days, will focus on the new violation structure (i.e., most egregious, still-pretty-damn bad, not-so bad, not worth our attention), stepped-up penalties (up to a 50-percent loss of scholarships for the worst offenders), and a faster mode of processing cases (weeks rather than months).
That's not all the NCAA's enforcement working group has considered since taking on this gargantuan task last August. In a conversation I had this week with Edward Ray (pictured above), Oregon State's president and chair of the group, he singled out several ideas the group has discussed for improving the way athletic departments operate. It's unclear if any of these will make it into the draft sent out to colleges, but they're worth thinking about. Among the suggestions:
Change reporting lines. What if compliance departments reported to provosts, presidents, or the general counsel, rather than to the athletic department? That's already happening on some campuses, and the working group has talked about that possibility, as Ray says, "so there's no undue influence."
Require athletics audits. "Instead of accreditation every 10 years, our group thought maybe we need to audit athletics–not just financially, but operationally, in the same way other parts of the university get audited," Ray said. "We need to figure out a way of providing oversight to ensure all aspects of athletics are working in the same way and up to the same standards we expect elsewhere in the university." (This is something we'll likely see as part of a separate revamp of the NCAA's certification process.)
Audit the NCAA. While we're at it, shouldn't we be auditing the NCAA to make sure it's being consistent in the penalties it's applying? "Maybe we need to be asking, 'Are they performing to a level everyone is hoping for?'" Ray says.
Require individual certification. Would programs be more likely to stay out of trouble if everyone who worked in intercollegiate athletics was required to gain some sort of certification? Then, if people stepped outside the lines, they could lose that certification, Ray suggested.
Hold individuals accountable. "One of the strong principles we're tending toward," Ray said, was making sure coaches and others in high leadership positions are held responsible for the actions of people employed under them. "Coaches know what assistant coaches are doing," he said, and should be penalized when their subordinates misbehave.
The penalties might go beyond coaches, too. "We should also look at athletic directors, conference officials, presidents and chancellors, and boards of governance," he added. "We need to make sure everyone understands they're accountable, every case is a failure, and everyone with a role in this should be considered."Return to Top

School recipe ideas worth stealing

Multi-Grain Rolls - Mount Diablo (Calif.) Unified School District

Multi-Grain Rolls - Mount Diablo (Calif.) Unified School District
These classic dinner rolls feature whole-wheat flour for a healthy kick.
On any given night at the Wake Robin senior living facility in Shelburne, Vt., residents may find spring sweet pea and mascarpone ravioli with white wine cream sauce or acorn squash stuffed with quinoa and cranberries on the menu. These dishes, along with a new sweet-potato burger topped with cilantro aioli, aren't just delicious, says Director of Dining Services Kathy King. They're also completely vegetarian.
The popularity of Meatless Mondays and the growing number of people who call themselves "flexitarians" have impacted menu development in every noncommercial sector. Although...
Restaurateurs in Amherst, Mass., aren't happy with UMass Dining .
Registered dietitian Dianne Sutherland told local NBC affiliate WWLP News in May that the high quality of food served on campus means students aren't visiting neighborhood eateries as frequently as those businesses might like.
"Even our vendors who we work with, they get complaints from the restaurants that students are staying on campus," she said. "They are already paying for the food; why should they [go] off campus to eat?" More than 19,000 Amherst students are on a meal plan—6,000 of whom live off campus...
Forced to battle crumbling infrastructure and a constant churn of trends, sometimes the best way to save a foodservice operation is to change it entirely. As Steve Mangan, director of dining at the University of Michigan, puts it, "At some point when your building starts to fail, the cost of maintenance stands out." But for operators with limited budgets, the challenge is discerning the right time to do so—and how far to take it.
At Jefferson High School, change came because little worked anymore. The Cedar Rapids, Iowa, school's cafeteria hadn't been updated since 1957; students...
The seeds of farm-to-table 2.0 have officially blown into noncommercial foodservice. Since the movement has caught the attention of the segment during the past decade, operators have broadened agricultural collaborations outside of just supply. As a result, a new strain of the movement has been created that treats farms as allies in events, training and innovative growing systems.
The 500-bed Overlook Medical Center in Summit, N.J., didn't start out sourcing produce from local farms; instead, it administered its own growing programs, including an on-site garden and honeybee apiary...

Yesterday I was contracting like crazy, if I stood up or tried to do anything I got so super tight. I tried a warm bath and a nap (dog wouldn't have any of that, he barked every 5 mins until I finally gave up after a half an hour..) it helped a bit but they came back shortly after. The only thing that made them go away was staying off my feet entirely, which is also the reason I didn't go into L&D to get checked out, since they did ease when I was sitting or laying. They weren't painful exactly but man it felt like my belly was in a vice grip!
Today thankfully I've had none! I think it was all a result of being way too over tired as I hadn't slept much the night before.
Anyone else have crazy contractions from lack of sleep?

I recieved my samsung SL600 as an early Christmas gift, this camera is the best i have ever had. I am use to using a kodak easy share, which is a nice camera as well but my pictures at school plays and of other inside functions always seemed to be fuzzy or too dark. My samsung camera self adjust nicely or I can set it to what ever setting the situation calls for and all the pictures turn out fantastic...I love this camera. I will never be nervous thinking I will ever miss a memory because my camera wouldnt work properly. The samsung digital SL600 is the greatest camera with an awsome price for anyone as well as single moms...Thanks samsung for helping me keep up with my children as they grow.
I was very impressed with the price and quality of this product. It is able to capture my kids without fuzziness. I am having more luck with this than I did my easyshare cameras.
The biggest problems i have with this is the capture time or shutter speed. I have a 2 year old child and trying to get that perfect head shot or body shot is next to impossible with this camera. I would have to press and hold the camera then walk around till my child stops then take a picture. Most of the time i just miss the shot because the camera didn't snap the picture when i press the button. It is so frustrating to see that you held the button for so long just to miss the shot. Sometimes when holding the button the camera would take the picture because you pressed too hard. Then you start all over again. My camera started to have dead pixels around the nine month period of ownership. It started with just one or two dead pixels then as the days and weeks of usage came and gone, so did the number of dead pixels. I finally had to send it in for repairs after i had two 1/2 inch lines of dead pixels. All in all, the camera gets a 2.75 stars out of 5 stars. If you can't afford it then this camera will do. I recommend you spend a little more money and get the better version of this camera. The one with the dual screen.
I received this product as a gift. At first I wasn't sure that it would be what I wanted as a replacement for my previous camera. After taking the first few pictures I found it surpassed my expectations. The plastic protective face cover and compact size are excellent features. And I am impressed by the clarity of the display. I am experiencing a learning curve on the features after being used to my previous camera, however this product's features are beginning to seem more intuitive with use.
The overall performance and quality seemed good, but the lens started to stick after only two months ownership, and light use around the home. This seems to be typical of the compact camera market, and this product suffers from this small size design constraint.
Color, focus, options all seem fairly good. Photo quality is fine for amature use, not reccomended for any expert. Ideal for point-n-shoot birthdays, vacation, family fun. High end functions are missing.
Purchased this camera expecting better picture quality and performance than it has delivered. The auto program gives doesn't adjust for outdoors lighting well. The focus is often off and faces are blurry. The view screen has malfuctioned after 16 months and now has black lines and black dots on it. Video has similar lighting problems.
I love this camera more than any other I have ever owned. It is super easy to use but still has a real nice exspensive feel about it even though it wasn't costly at all. It was a great deal and I will def go with samsung next time I need something like this again. You rock
This camera takes excellent pictures up to 12.2MP - suitable for large prints. It also has very advanced control settings for ISO, flash slow sync and multiple mode face recognition control - hard to find in a camera of this price. It's light and small but easy to handle. The display is crisp and easy to see in direct sunlight. Overall, a feature packed camera for an incredible price.
Camera is good for photos/still shots but auto zoom moves too much makes fuzzy shots. My phone takes better pictures. I wanted to take close-ups of coines.. No way!
This camera is for kids only to horse around.
Nice compact camera that has features that can be found
on more expensive cameras. One downside is the shutter button is stiff and needs a little
force take a photo. Watch out for camera jitter.
This camera is great! If you are looking for a simple to use camera that takes great pics, this is it!
This camera is great. I love using it. It is lightweight and easy to use.

Seeking Roommates to Create a German Language Learning Immersion Experience (San Fran) (self.redditroommates)
submitted 2 years ago by edohring
Hey All!
My name is Erica. I am a senior at Wellesley College graduating in May with a degree in math. Woot!
Since around Christmas time, I've been teaching myself German and been really enjoying it. To practice what I've learned, I am planning on taking a trip to Germany for about a month this summer to get as much real-live practice as possible.
At the beginning of August, I am starting my first job after college in the San Fransisco Bay area. Since I'm moving to a new city, and am looking for housing, I have realized the wonderful opportunity I have in creating a German immersion environment at home. I am looking for German-speaking (or German-learning) roommates who are willing to commit to speak only German at home and with each other for 1 year. I believe this will be not only the most efficient way for me to learn given my parameters, but also a great way to make new friends who have common goals.
My ideal situation would be to have several house-mates and live in the Mission Bay Area, although finding the right roommates is far more important to me than location. I don't mind sharing a room if it ends up being cheaper. As far as interests go, I enjoy going on adventures, being athletic, drinking coffee, and having deep conversations on life.
If this sounds like an appealing situation to you (or you know someone) please don't hesitate to contact me at firstname.lastname@example.com. For others on this forum,
- Do you guys have any other ideas as to places I could post the above to find roommates besides Craigslist and Meetup.com German group?
- If for some reason I cannot find such a situation, do you guys have suggestions to how I can create an effortless immersion environment at home?
- Does anyone know of a group housing/co-op situation in SF where the goal is German immersion?
there doesn't seem to be anything here

From Our Listeners
Letters: College Pressure And Transplant Helpers
NPR's Neal Conan reads listener comments about African-American men, stigma and mental illness, the pressures students feel to succeed in college, and what hospitals are doing to help transplant patients navigate the bureaucracy and fears they often face.
Time now for your comments, which we didn't have time to get to yesterday. Psychiatrist William Lawson joined us last week to talk about why there's often stigma attached to a diagnosis of mental illness among African-American men.
Allan Hurt(ph) in California heard that program and emailed: I've been battling this on a mild level for years. When I've gone seeking help, within minutes, doctors want to write a prescription for some type of narcotics and get me out the door. Many black men, because of the history of using us as lab rats for drugs, as well as being treated different by the law, avoid drugs unless absolutely necessary. There are nuances between races which psychologists and psychiatrists fail to acknowledge, let alone address.
Following our conversation about the pressures on college students to succeed, Anya Fafer(ph) in Flagstaff wrote: I just graduated from a small liberal arts college in Prescott, Arizona with a BS in environmental studies and a minor in adventure education. It was the best undergraduate experience I could have imagined. I now have an internship doing what I love. My advice is to get an interdisciplinary education which represents your passions. Success is getting what you want. Happiness is wanting what you get.
Finally, we spoke with social worker Mary Burge about her job helping transplant patients negotiate the maze of paperwork and hospital bureaucracy they often face. She spoke about her first child transplant patient Lizzy and what a huge responsibility that was because no one had done a heart transplant on such a young child at her hospital before. Well, as it happened, Lizzy was listening and sent this email: Just want you to know I am still doing great. I had my transplant in 1984 and haven't let it hold me back from having a normal life.
