Utah Utes football: Power rankings not holding true in Pac 12, especially Utah
1. Washington State Cougars quarterback Jeff Tuel (10) scrambles against BYU. 2. California's C.J. Anderson (9) celebrates with Keenan Allen (21) after Anderson's touchdown against Southern Utah. 3. Utah Utes running back Kelvin York (13) runs by Arizona State Sun Devils safety Keelan Johnson (10). (1. Jeffrey D. Allred, Deseret News 2. Ben Margot, Associated Press 3. Tom Smart, Deseret News)
Our Take: Ted Miller from ESPN's Pac-12 blog recently posted that the preseason power rankings could not have been less accurate. None of the teams are in their original preseason slots heading into week five, as there have been some "unexpected" twists thus far in the season. As for Utah, early rankings were very dependent on a healthy Jordan Wynn in the quarterback position. Now there is no Wynn on the field to funnel the offense through. Miller said he is not giving up on Utah quite yet:
I'm more a believer in USC bouncing back than it crumbling, but I now acknowledge the argument that the Trojans were overrated in the preseason as defensible. I'd like to see Oregon State win at Arizona and Arizona State end its Berkeley Curse before I go all-in with either. And I'm not sure folks should be so quick to write off a Utah program that started 0-4 in conference play last year but went on to win the Sun Bowl.
What's the root of the switcheroo? Quarterback play.
Oregon State, UCLA and Arizona State each had questions at the position in the preseason, but they are getting efficient production from young QBs. USC, Washington, California, Utah and Washington State entered the season with experience at QB, but each is getting production that is below expectations.

Given a non-square composite number $n$, we know there exists a (prime) divisor $p < \sqrt n$. So there must exists a maximal divisor $m$ with the property: $m < \sqrt n$. A naive way of computing $m$ would be to take check the values: $$\lfloor \sqrt n \rfloor - 1, \lfloor \sqrt n \rfloor - 2, \lfloor \sqrt n \rfloor - 3, ... $$and select the first that divides $n$. Are there more efficient ways of finding $m$?
There are several methods to find the factors of a number n :
If the complete factorization is found, it is easy to find the largest factor below the square-root.
Remark : It is eaven easier to test whether a number is prime or not.

Antidepressants increased the risk of suicidal thoughts and behavior in children, adolescents, and young adults in short-term studies. These studies did not show an increase in the risk of suicidal thoughts and behavior with antidepressant use in patients over age 24; there was a trend toward reduced risk with antidepressant use in patients aged 65 and older [see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS].
In patients of all ages who are started on antidepressant therapy, monitor closely for worsening, and for emergence of suicidal thoughts and behaviors. Advise families and caregivers of the need for close observation and communication with the prescriber [see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS].
BRINTELLIX has not been evaluated for use in pediatric patients [see Use in Specific Populations].
BRINTELLIX is an immediate-release tablet for oral administration that contains the beta (β) polymorph of vortioxetine hydrobromide (HBr), an antidepressant. Vortioxetine HBr is known chemically as 1-[2-(2,4-Dimethyl-phenylsulfanyl)-phenyl]-piperazine, hydrobromide. The empirical formula is C18H22N2S, HBr with a molecular weight of 379.36 g/mol. The structural formula is:
Vortioxetine HBr is a white to very slightly beige powder that is slightly soluble in water.
Each BRINTELLIX tablet contains 6.355 mg, 12.71 mg, 19.065 mg, or 25.42 mg of vortioxetine HBr equivalent to 5 mg, 10 mg, 15 mg, or 20 mg of vortioxetine, respectively. The inactive ingredients in BRINTELLIX tablets include mannitol, microcrystalline cellulose, hydroxypropyl cellulose, sodium starch glycolate, magnesium stearate and film coating which consists of hypromellose, titanium dioxide, polyethylene glycol 400, iron oxide red (5 mg, 15 mg, and 20 mg) and iron oxide yellow (10 mg and 15 mg).

If I say, if I talk about, 'I want to be enlightened...' it implies a future. And there isn't any.
Byron Katie
Contributed by: Siona
In general people experience their present naively, as it were, without being able to form an estimate of its contents; they have first to put themselves at a distance from it - the present, that is to say, must have become the past - before it can yield points of vantage from which to judge the future.

The basic mood of the future might well be one of confidence in the continuing revelation that takes place in and through the Earth. If the dynamics of the Universe from the beginning shaped the course of the heavens, lighted the Sun, and formed the Earth, if this same dynamism brought forth the continents and seas and atmosphere, if it awakened life in the primordial cell and then brought into being the unnumbered variety of living beings, and finally brought us into being and guided us safely through the turbulent centuries, there is reason to believe that this same guiding process is precisely what has awakened in us our present understanding of ourselves and our relation to this stupendous process. Sensitized to such guidance from the very structure and functioning of the Universe, we can have confidence in the future that awaits the human venture.
Thomas Berry
To attain peace among the nations in any dynamic or enduring form requires not simply political negotiation but a new mode of consciousness. The magnitude of this change is in the order of religious conversion or of spiritual rebirth rather than of treaty processes or even of inter-cultural understanding. Simply to recognize the basic nature and dimension of the issues we face is already an advance. But if a peaceful world is beyond politics it is also beyond religions as these presently exist. A change is needed in every phase of human life. This lies mainly in recognition that the micro phase, the particular or national traditions, must find their context and fulfillment in the macro phase, the global or panhuman phase of human existence. The future rests in the religious, political, economic and cultural capacity of humans to establish this larger context in which the particular traditions will find both support and fulfillment in a functional global community.

These roses under my window make no reference to former roses or to better ones; they are for what they are; they exist with God to-day. There is no time in them. There is simply the rose; it is perfect in every moment of its existence. Before a leaf-bud has burst, its whole life acts; in the full-blown flower there is no more; in the leafless root there is no less. Its nature is satisfied, and it satisfies nature, in all moments alike. But man postpones or remembers; he does not live in the present, but with reverted eye laments the past, or, heedless of the riches that surround him, stands on tiptoe to foresee the future. He cannot be happy and strong until he too lives with nature in the present above time.

MONTLUCON, France -- On the second rest day of the Tour de France, Garmin-Chipotle team director Jonathan Vaughters emerged from a nap, sat down in the team hotel lobby and picked up a copy of L'Equipe, the French sports daily newspaper.
The front page photo showed the overall race contenders barreling around a switchback in the Alps, a flying wedge of power and experience and desire. Vaughters traced his finger along until he got to the far edge of the frame, then tapped the image of a rider slightly tucked away behind the rest, eyes vigilant, legs pumping.
"Typical Christian," Vaughters said. "A little bit hidden. Watching. But he's right there."
If you're trying to understand how Christian Vande Velde came to be right there, dueling with the sport's best, with a chance to finish in the top three of the biggest event in cycling, it won't help to rifle through his past results in this race. They reflect the energy he expended for other riders.
Likewise, it won't be of any use to pore over his blood test results, laid bare for all to see in Bicycling Magazine this week and declared honest by one of the world's top anti-doping researchers. Anything else would have been a shock, since Vande Velde is the leader of a team that long ago dedicated itself to proving it was possible to compete clean.
It's not about the numbers. To explain this transformation, you'd need to track the inner workings of Vande Velde's heart with a monitor a lot more sensitive than the thin black strap he wears around his chest. You'd have to see a longitudinal chart of his confidence, which has spiked recently after years of meandering in a valley as his early promise took detour after detour.
Vande Velde has come into his own at age 32 partly because he is enjoying a sustained period of good health for the first time in five seasons and partly because of the nurturing environment he found first at Team CSC and then with Garmin, the U.S.-based team formerly known as Slipstream.
There is no accurate metaphor in American sports for what Vande Velde had to do to convert himself from support rider to leader, a transition still in progress.
Take a baseball player whose strength is the art of advancing the runner -- the unheralded, versatile, perhaps good-field-no-hit guy who can tap a bunt that dies on the line or consistently drive the ball to the warning track. Make him the cleanup man, and you might start to get a grip on Vande Velde's odyssey over the last year, except that those moments at the plate don't begin to approach the hours of intense effort he logged to help other men gain glory.
"When you do that long enough, you forget how to win," said Vande Velde's genial Dutch coach, Adrie van Diemen, a former Vaughters mentor who began working with Vande Velde and teammate David Millar last winter. "He had to stop thinking about how good he could be for the team, and start thinking about how good he could be for himself."
Sounds simple. But Vande Velde, whose easy smile and conversational manner mask his competitive drive, had become accustomed to completing specific tasks -- riding at the front in the flats, or setting a hard tempo up an intermediate climb, or escorting the designated leader to the base of an uphill finish.
"You have a mindset of how you race, how you look after yourself and how you don't look after yourself," Vande Velde said. "You put other people on a pedestal when the difference between you and them is one percent, or sometimes you're even better than them. But they have the psychology that they're going to go to the finish line and you're just going to go to two K [kilometers] to go."
For most of his career, Vande Velde would complete his daily mission, ease off or "sit up," as cyclists say, and roll through the finish line and onto the team bus uninterrupted. That was a far cry from the scene at the summit of Alpe d'Huez, where a horde of reporters, photographers and cameramen descended on Vande Velde, barely giving him breathing room as they hung on his every word.
"It's a change to be in demand," he observed.
Vande Velde is resculpting his mentality, trying to embrace the expectations and attention that come with breaking out of an ensemble cast. That shift has been magnified by Vaughters' open-door media policy, in which formerly sacrosanct areas from hotels to the bus to blood test results are accessible -- within reason -- for the asking. Vande Velde is, in short, trying to get used to a different way of measuring success, and it makes him uncomfortable at times.
It wasn't always that way. In the late '90s, Vande Velde, who grew up in Lemont, Ill., in the south suburbs of Chicago, enjoyed the fact that he was hailed as a great young talent. It ran in his veins -- he comes from a family of Belgian cyclists, and his father, John, was a member of the 1968 and 1972 U.S. Olympic track cycling teams. John Vande Velde earned an additional 15 minutes of fame when he was cast for a bit part in "Breaking Away" as one of the villainous Italian riders who knock earnest wannabe Dennis Christopher off his bike.
Vande Velde lived at the Olympic training center in Colorado Springs before he turned pro in 1998. In 1999, he had a dream of an early season, winning events on the road and the track. Late that spring, he was named to the nine-man U.S. Postal Service roster for the Tour de France, and had a blissfully uneventful three-week ride en route to the first of Lance Armstrong's seven titles.
That milestone was both the best and worst thing that befell Vande Velde. He learned what he was capable of, and tasted ultimate success. But as Armstrong's reign turned dynastic, Postal morphed into an organization famously intolerant of any perceived weakness, physical or mental, and Vande Velde was about to enter a long, discouraging tunnel.
Named to the 2000 Tour roster, Vande Velde was forced to withdraw days before the race with an infected boil on his posterior doctors believed might have been insect-borne. (With characteristic humor, Vande Velde later labeled his home-brewed beer "Spider Bite.")
On the rainy day of the team time trial during the first week of the 2001 Tour, Vande Velde's wheels went out from under him on a slick painted line on the road. He crashed, bringing teammate Roberto Heras down with him. Vande Velde did a yeoman's job of towing Heras back to the team, but Postal lost the stage. Still shaky a couple of days later, Vande Velde crashed out of the race with a broken arm and things were never the same for him after that.
Doubt built up in his legs like lactic acid. Vande Velde was left off the 2002 and 2003 Tour rosters and suffered from chronic back and hip problems that caused a domino effect of muscular imbalance and weakness.
"He wasn't in pain, but it was like walking on an uneven sidewalk all the time," said his wife, Leah.
Often unable to train between competitions, Vande Velde counted on his ability to ride into form as a race went along. He showed flashes of his old self, including strong support for Heras in the mountain stages of the 2002 Tour of Spain, but his trajectory was mostly downhill.
Given his notice by Postal, Vande Velde whiled away the fall of 2003 unemployed and idly wondering if he should find another way to make a living. Heras eventually persuaded his new Liberty Seguros team to hire Vande Velde at a deep pay cut. The 2004 season was perhaps the most miserable of his career, as the disorganized Spanish outfit forgot to process Vande Velde's visa paperwork, sidelining him for months. He spoke little Spanish and spent most of the summer isolated and unhappy.
"They left me alone, which turned out to be a good thing, in a way," he later said.
Many of his teammates, along with veteran manager Manolo Saiz, were discredited by links to the Operacion Puerto doping scandal. Vande Velde has never been implicated for doping, but he says he knows people will look at his résumé with some skepticism. "There's not much I can do about it," he said, adding that he's glad he's been racing for two teams with proactive anti-doping approaches in the last two seasons.
After completing the 2004 Tour, Vande Velde toyed with quitting and even asked Vaughters -- his long-ago Postal teammate and roommate -- if he could work as an assistant director on Vaughters' then-fledgling team. Vaughters helped talk him out of it. At the same time, Vande Velde was eyeing Bjarne Riis' CSC squad, where English was a common language and camaraderie seemed to be a common ethic.
"I begged my way onto CSC," said Vande Velde, who negotiated a rock-bottom contract with Riis at the 2004 world championships. The healing began, from his back -- via regular sessions with a chiropractor -- to his head.
"I was on the legendary, beautiful team of washed-up cyclists going over and being renewed," Vande Velde said. "I knew [Riis] took care of the all-around. Whether it was a time trial bike or having a physical therapist there, everyone was working ahead 100 percent at all times.
"During the three years I was there, I came from being someone down on the sport to someone who didn't really care what else was going on besides what was happening with my buddies. If I wasn't at the race, I wanted to be at the next one. You'd turn on the TV and they'd be doing great at some other race. It was a success breeding success team, where you're among friends and not just co-workers. Without Bjarne and his team, there's no way I'd be where I am today."
Vande Velde won his first race in years -- the Tour of Luxembourg -- in 2006, but there still was something wanting in his CSC experience. He figured he had one last opportunity to play a different role and have more input in the way a team was run. Vaughters, his old friend, beckoned. It was a tough choice, and one that forced Vande Velde out of a very cozy zone, but he says it was a natural progression.
Ever wary of setting the bar too high, Vande Velde initially told himself he would be more of a mentor than a leader. The latter mantle, however, has settled onto his shoulders. This year has brought a third-place finish at the Tour of California, a team time trial win at the Tour de Georgia and, most sensationally, a day in the rose-colored overall leader's jersey at the Tour of Italy. Slipstream, still without a title sponsor in May, won the opening team time trial. Vande Velde called Riis to thank him for his past support.
But Vande Velde knows that without Vaughers and Garmin, he probably wouldn't have broken his old habit of putting other athletes first. His self-belief should have been stuck in that ambivalent place where he preferred to be in the wings instead of squarely center stage. He certainly wouldn't be poised to roll down the start ramp of the Tour's decisive individual time trial Saturday with a shot at the podium. The only lingering question is whether he should have tried to make himself over earlier, but Vande Velde finds it more constructive to focus on the present.
"I don't have any regrets," he said. "I look back and I'm happy I'm a well-rounded person. To finish off my career being a contender for the Tour de France and the leader of a great American team, I consider myself one of the luckiest people in the world. That's a pretty big full circle.
"I've been humbled enough in this sport and I know I'm fortunate to have one chance, let alone any chance."

Standards in the AES
Standards activity in the AES started shortly after the Society was founded. Initially it was rather sporadic, but from the mid 1970s onward more formal organizational structures were introduced, which led to the publication of internationally recognized standards and the forging of closer links with other standards bodies. Standards continue to be a core activity of the AES and recent changes in organization, together with the associated provision of resources, are designed to ensure the Society can meet the future demands of the audio industry.

The intentions of the anti-Six containment mechanism (stash box for WIPs) have been broken by adding a baby blanket and a wedding shawl to the pile. Both projects (the baby and the marriage of course) are full of promise and have delightfully provided excuses to stray from the plan.
One of my co-workers is having her first child in early April. She and her husband had been trying for many years to conceive, so the pregnancy is an unexpected joy and something really special was in order. A Ravelry friend had knitted a pair of Perianth mittens last fall, inspiring their inclusion in the queue. Browsing through the Perianth gallery on Ravelry, the charm of Pinneguri's blanket for her granddaughter was overwhelming. Now you can just call me copy-cat. The pattern was purchased and Twist Collective graciously sent the chart for the blanket.
Despite wanting to actually start the blanket on New Year's day, it was started last weekend and 55 rows of the main pattern have been knitted so far. The pattern repeats are 54 stitches wide which is too much for my tiny brain to memorise for each row, but that's OK. At the moment, the entertainment factor is high, and developing the blossoms is amusing.
There isn't the greatest of contrast between the two yarns at all times. The green of the background fades into the yellow of the flowers in places, but I like the effect. The yellow border may be replaced later – the tension between that section and the main blanket is not the same and can easily be seen. Since knitting it, other ideas for the border have been percolating. This isn't a very good picture of the colour (things are a bit more golden), but here it is anyway.

Kirkus, June 1, 2011
"Numerous books have covered endangered daily newspapers, but few relate the sad saga from the perspective of a top editor with investigative reporting experience… Given O'Shea's level of detail and candor, some journalism icons will almost surely lose respect within their field…A spirited, fascinating insider's account of a troubled realm."
New Statesman, January 7, 2011
"This book is a passionate and heavily researched account of the case against the cyber-utopians."
The Chicago Reader, Michael Miner, June 17, 2011
"The insider's tale O'Shea tells is that of an epic business disaster, placed in the context of the whole industry driving itself off a cliff…I'm 50 pages in and riveted. I expect to stay that way"
The Chicago Sun-Times, Michael Sneed, June 19, 2011
"Loaded with Tribune Tower mayhem and monkeyshines, bankruptcy testimony, sexual innuendo, triggered security alarms, and a hysterical Tribune terrace escapade involving former Tribune honcho Randy Michaels, the book's publication comes on the heels of a Tribune desperately trying to revamp itself and its image."
Time Out Chicago, June 20, 2011
"Former Chicago Tribune managing editor Jim O'Shea's long-awaited book about what really went on inside Tribune Co..; does not disappoint. Blessed with an insider's perspective and a journalist's eye for detail, The Deal From Hell: How Moguls and Wall Street Plundered Great American Newspapers includes stunning new revelations about Zell's hand-picked CEO, Randy Michaels."
Library Journal, June 16, 2011
"Journalists and students of the practice will appreciate this detailed insider account of the forces that are remaking newspapers and the specifics of how the Tribune ended up bankrupt. O'Shea's narrative skills will engage readers in this compelling story."
New York Times Sunday Business review, June 26, 2011
"The Deal From Hell' is chockablock with examples of what happens when bean counters take over newspapers… a strong, significant book… Mr. O'Shea offers balanced and nuanced writing throughout, not an easy task, since his sympathies clearly lie within the Tribune and Los Angeles Times newsrooms and not with the executives who all but wrecked them."
USA Today, June 27, 2011
"James O'Shea occupied a privileged, and unusual, seat during the [newspaper] implosion. In The Deal From Hell: How Moguls and Wall Street Plundered Great American Newspapers, O'Shea shares what he saw and heard… His book stands out, though, because of its unforgettable details about what happened to diminish great journalism at the Chicago Tribune and Los Angeles Times. The more general indictments about the newspaper industry seem like weak gruel in comparison."
Los Angeles Times, June 28, 2011
"Compelling reading…His dramatic telling of the lead-up to the Zell deal that would so soon sour is staggering… In the end, "The Deal From Hell" succeeds on the force of the story and the power of the case that O'Shea builds against the individuals involved."
NewCity (Chicago alt weekly), feature, June 29, 2011
"The Deal From Hell" is a candid and relatively unrestrained insider's account of the near-destruction of two of America's great newspapers. Heroes are portrayed and so, certainly are villains. Except the heroes are all gone now, and more than a few of the villains still flourish."
New York Journal of Books, June 28, 2011 "James O'Shea has written an important book for anyone concerned about the future of journalism, its uncertain relationship to modern democratic societies, and the eternal balance between freedom and responsibility—assuming that we can turn off our iPods, iPads, and Netbooks long enough to read Deal from Hell from start to finish."
Crain's Chicago Business, June 15, 2011
"Journalists will enjoy reading about the veteran newsman's early days in the business, and industry watchers get a behind-the-scenes look at Wall Street's role…. He takes the reader all over the world — to the newsrooms of the Los Angeles Times and the Chicago Tribune and on a private jet to meetings with correspondents in the Middle East. And he names names."
Neiman Reports, June 15, 2011 "The plot of James O'Shea's book reads like a fast-paced novel: greedy owners, corporate intrigue, a boorish manager, and a staff revolt. Yet it's a true story."
Financial Times, July 7, 2011
"This woeful story has never had such a good unpacking as James O'Shea, a former editor at the Chicago Tribune and Los Angeles Times, has given it in The Deal From Hell… In an exhaustively reported book, O'Shea makes a compelling case that greed, mismanagement and a lack of foresight had as much to do with the destruction of American newspapers as did the rise of the web…The Deal From Hell is a well-reported book, and O'Shea is armed with compelling statistics and vivid, damning anecdotes to make his point…Ultimately this is a book for people who, like O'Shea, love newspapers."
Wall Street Journal, July 2, 2011
"The star-crossed merger is the right newspaper-decline story to tell, and Mr. O'Shea is arguably the eyewitness most qualified for the task."
Cleveland Plain Deal, July 6, 2011
"The Deal From Hell: How Moguls and Wall Street Plundered Great American Newspapers" is a detailed, inside look at how greed, incompetence and hubris gutted two of the nation's leading newspapers…It was, indeed, a deal from hell, and O'Shea gives us a clear look at the devils involved in it.
TheWrap.com, July 4, 2011
"The 'Deal from Hell' gives us a serious and informed view of the destruction of an American journalistic institution (or two of them, in this case). O'Shea shares some fascinating inside stories based on his front-row seat as editor in chief and his long-time relationships with people who gave him interviews for the book."
Publishing Perspectives, July 5, 2011
"Mr. James O'Shea's beguiling admixture, the eyewitness-cum-memoirist, combined with his Pulitzer-laden editorial pedigree makes for jaw-dropping vignettes, hilarious asides and harrowing portraits of pinstriped idiocy. But is The Deal from Hell important? Hell, yes. Every citizen in the republic — and every C-suite publishing executive — should hear what this book has to say, if only to discover how desperately besieged is our fount of Public Discourse."
Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, July 17, 2011
"The Deal From Hell" is a scrupulously reported account of how hubris, bad judgment, arrogance, bad timing and, yes, greed eviscerated one of the most prestigious media companies in American history… In a class with the best books that document the Wall Street crisis of 2008, "Deal From Hell" is the best account of what has happened to newspapers in the past decade."
Publishers Weekly, July 18, 2011
"While recounting how business interests sought an improper place in public service journalism, O'Shea works in fascinating and funny anecdotes that make for an excellent read. For those who want an inside look at what makes American journalism work (and not work), O'Shea offers a unique and valuable perspective."
Irish Voice, July 21, 2011
"O'Shea's book is a fascinating fly-on-the-wall account of how powerful executives injured the newspaper industry."
Tucson Citizen, August 2, 2011
"If you watched in dismay at the recent gutting of the Arizona Daily Star, this new book should be at the top of your summer reading list…How Wall Street bankers plundered great American newspapers to line their pockets is a story that will make most readers burn with rage. Based on exclusive interviews and testimony from bankruptcy proceedings, this narrative is filled with examples of backstabbing, double dealing, and outright insidious behavior or how big business is often conducted in modern America."
Windy City Times October 5, 2011
"There are plenty of villains to go around in this book, a must-read for journalists and j-students who are going into debt to get a degree for an industry imploding from the weight of some really stupid mistakes."
Brooklyn Ink
"What The Deal From Hell provides is the first real account of the crisis and a long overdue one at that. It gives a fantastically detailed history on two pillars of the American newspaper industry. On yet another level, it serves as a fascinating business lesson in how a media news giant that produced high-quality journalism could still fail so shockingly. It is a book well worth the reader's time so long as it's digested with a dash of salt."
"The well-written narrative weaves a tale of executive and corporate greed, misjudgment, negligence, and employee and civic disregard. The book is an excellent companion to more academic analyses of recent corporate upheavals in news media… Highly recommended."

By James Brabenec, Fort SillFebruary 16, 2012
FORT SILL, Okla. (Feb. 16, 2012) -- In 1980, when "Betty" turned 10 years old, Spc. Joe Dees entered the world. Little did either know down the road they would enter into a relationship that may last the remainder of their days.
The 168th Brigade Support Battalion Soldier said ever since his toddler years he's helped his dad restore Volkswagens. Now, he's working his first, Betty is a 1970 VW bus he bought online in January for $1,800.
"The old VW guys, like my dad, say the classic cars have a personality and character, so that's why you give them a name," he said.
Dees drove to Fort Worth with a friend to pay for Betty and drove her to Fort Sill. She was part of an estate sale of a woman who had recently died. The woman, he learned, drove the bus the majority of the years she owned it.
However, the name came from another source. Dees said the woman's friend, who watched over her property after she entered a nursing home, came up with the name. That friend talked to Dees and told him the bus was purchased in 1976 and the woman drove it for about 30 years until she was no longer able to drive. Although the bus, associated with the hippie culture, didn't have near the pizzazz of her other cars -- such as new Buicks and Cadillacs -- it remained a favorite for most of her driving years.
"I believe this is why Betty's kind of dinged up, because she had a senior citizen driving her around," said Dees, speaking of Betty like he would a close friend. "She probably has other stories to tell, but I'll never know them all. So I get to invent her past and what she witnessed during her travels."
At nearly age 42, Dees said Betty could have been anywhere and done all kinds of things. Despite the glamour of some of her contemporaries -- Jennifer Aniston and Jennifer Lopez -- the years haven't been near as kind to this four-wheel diva.
Betty shows her age with body rust, chipped paint and scratches, missing ornaments and a big dent near the driver's side taillight. Her upholstery has rips and even her motor when started emits an uncertain pa-dump, pa-dump, pa-dump sound like she would rather park her tired chassis and watch the world drive by. But Dees insists those blemishes are part of what makes her special.
"She'll never be a show car, but that's part of the charm of an old car -- she shows some age," he said. "Compare that to those celebrities who get all the plastic surgery, and they end up looking weird. That won't happen with Betty."
Not that Dees doesn't get offers. He said one person offered to paint her up like the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. He's also considering painting it in some odd color schemes that tie in to the hippie motif. Those paint jobs would be temporary until he decides what color the real coat would be. He said VWs are about having fun and that's definitely a destination he intends to head toward with Betty.
He said the majority of the work will happen at the Fort Sill Automotive Skills Center and that restoration usually takes one of two routes. If he cannot get a space to park it, his "rolling project" will have to begin with making it road worthy. He noticed the brakes were sound on the trip north and no brake fluid is leaking on subsequent visual inspections. Steering also seems to be functional, though he will likely address this later too. For now, Dees focuses his attention on the transmission, because Betty is stuck in second gear.
"All work has to be carefully planned out to allow time to reassemble whatever I'm working on so I can drive her home," he said.
Should he get a parking space and not have to drive Betty, he can shift to a static restoration where he can tear the bus down completely and store all its parts in boxes. Work then progresses from one end to the other.
Betty's crown jewel, the VW chrome emblem under the windshield is missing, but the paint, less oxidized where the lettering once was, reminds all of her lineage.
Someday, perhaps, a new shiny emblem may again grace the front end, but he said there's likely a good reason he can't see what the bus will look like when his restoration ends.
"I don't think I'll ever be done with it. This work is one of those things where the journey is better than the goal. Like the Buddhists say, 'It's better to travel well than it is to arrive,'" said Dees, borrowing the quote from "Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance,"
his guide and inspiration.
Drawing also from the wisdom of his father who restored 10 to 15 VWs, he said his dad often painted his restored cars back to their same assembly line color. For Betty, her faded, sky blue color is a ghost of her former vitality. Like that wispy earth-bound spirit, Dees is uncommitted about Betty's eventual beauty.
Instead, together they will just roll along and see where they end up.
Editor's note: This is the first article in a series detailing Joe Dees' work restoring Betty and offering information on car maintenance and restoration work people can do at the Automotive Skills Center.

Pretty darn neat. Maybe the future of journalism isn't so far away after all? (via Greg)
Pretty darn neat. Maybe the future of journalism isn't so far away after all? (via Greg)
Neat idea from Daniel Sicar tonight: non-technical journalists should learn enough HTML/CSS (and maybe JavaScript) to build a single-serving website for one of their stories. Originally it was pitched as a skill to learn in 30 days, but it could be great one-day workshop material as well.
Now a few days later, I've realized there were two talks at Webstock that made it for me.
The first was Clay Johnson's "Industrialized Ignorance," a look at the current state of the media. Clay argues that, much like how industrial food production gives us food that tastes good, but isn't necessarily good for us, industrial media focuses on producing content with entertainment value, instead of informational value. To combat this, we need to launch an equivalent "whole food movement" for information.
I like the metaphor, and maybe the solution can be reapplied too. For all that the government has done to improve diet (e.g. not much), I believe the greatest successes come at the individual, family, and community level. Food is very much tied to physicality.
On the web, geography matters less. We're equally as influenced by the people around us, but we have choice in who we follow, friend and subscribe to. In this way we can, figuratively, pick out the fruits and vegetables we'll be choosing from for our meals later in the week. The first step to take, though, is to start cooking for yourself.
Not checking email before writing 500 words is a simple hack I'd like to take to heart. Instinctively, I reached for my phone this morning as soon as I opened my eyes. The phone went into low battery mode before I made it to the mail app. I took that as a sign today was the day to start.
"Oh, I'm too busy to spend write 500 words every day," one might think. Or, "I have nothing to write about." As WordPress' distraction-free writing says, just write. The words will come to you.
The second talk that really hit home was Karen McGrane's "Adapting Ourselves to Adaptive Content." Yes, it does sound like it's about responsive design. Instead, she promoted producing content independent of platform. If your content is well structured, Karen argues, you're in a much better position to reflow it into a variety of platforms.
This sounds familiar. In fact, it sounds like what many of us have been promoting as the future of journalism. Stijn wrote about it in 2010. Adrian wrote about it in 2006. In the last year, the conversation has all but died.
Personally, I've found enjoyment in more mundane projects, generally falling under the "improving administrative tasks in content management systems" category. Reinventing the entire content creation process is an unknown, nebulous challenge.
It was nice to be inspired to think big again. We need to bring some of that discussion back. And, while we're at it, open standards too. Remember those?
434 words. I'll take it.
This week I'm at Webstock, a lovely conference in New Zealand. I'm doing my best to write little blog posts about the amazing presentations. Please forgive any typos, etc. If you're here too, come write a haiku at Automattic's booth.
Miranda Mulligan (hey, I know her!) helped take the Boston Globe through a responsive redesign, and now is Director at the Knight Media Lab at Northwestern. She's the first in five generations of women to not make clothing for a living. Clothing matters; what you wear is an indicator of what you value.
"Journalism needs to be a more thoughtful dresser." Some large news organizations have very good UX designers, and many more have very good editorial designers. But news design has stagnated, and the news industry needs more design-thinkers.
When Miranda talks with publishers, they're fascinated by responsive web design. They don't have many designers in their organization though, and design comes at the end of the project workflow.
"Technologists are winning at media innovation." Twitter is reinventing breaking news situations. The Evening Edition gives you a summary of what's happening at the end of every day. Narrative Science turns big data into readable stories. Why aren't media companies inventing these new products?
Since I've been involved in the news industry, I've been a huge proponent of open source software. In particular, this selling point: open source makes for much easier cross-institution collaboration. Open source software provides a legal framework for companies to pool development resources, and build mutually-beneficial products. However, as I learned the hard way, news organizations need to get to the point where they're comfortable managing their own open source software before any collaboration can ever happen. We've made some strides, but we still have a ways to go.
Today, I was honored to speak about WordPress in the newsroom to the AAN Digital Conference. The alt-weeklies industry is in a situation very similar to what I saw in college media a few years back: one proprietary CMS dominates, editorial workflow is MS Word to InDesign to web, and most of the focus is on print. It was a bit of déjà vu. Fortunately, everyone is also super enthusiastic about the web — no curmudgeons in the audience.
The WordPress-powered sites I highlighted: Quartz, Metro, CBS New York, Rolling Stones, Online News Association, and DigBoston. Quartz is near and dear to my heart because I think they're really at the forefront of innovation with an app-like product and responsive design. I can't wait until they roll out their commenting system.
Features and plugins I pointed out include: distraction-free writing, drag and drop media uploader, Edit Flow and WP Frontend Uploader. If you're looking for more publishing-related plugins, we're slowly profiling our recommendations in the VIP Plugins Directory.
One parting note: this conference was the first time I've heard "dry humping" as a recommended way to show your appreciation to the organizers. Keep on rockin', alt-weeklies.
What we learned by gutting our home page for GameDay Live. Awesome experiment by the Daily Emerald with a few solid takeaways.
10 years in the making: The new DailyOrange.com. Syracuse University's Daily Orange finally makes the switch from College Publisher to WordPress, with a very nice responsive design at that. Joey Baker has been vindicated.
Many news sites display related content at the end of an article that's often based on textual analysis or visitor traffic. Articles often assume a baseline of knowledge on a story, regardless of whether the visitor knows anything about the topic or not.
It would be neat if you could include a quiz widget within the article. The reader could take the quiz which would test their knowledge and then suggest content based on their responses. The news organization would collect useful demographic data to refine their editorial planning.
Fortunately, whether or not Google makes a commenting widget isn't that big a deal on its own. Maybe they will or maybe they won't, and maybe it'll fail again or maybe it won't. But the key lesson to take away here is that we know a few things are wrong with the trade press in the technology world:
- In tech financial coverage, there is a focus on valuation, deals and funding instead of markets, costs, profits, losses, revenues and sustainability.
- In tech executive coverage, there is a focus on personalities and drama instead of capabilities and execution.
- In tech product coverage, there is a focus on features and announcements instead of evaluating whether a product is meaningful and worthwhile.
- Technology trade press doesn't treat our industry as a business, so much as a "scene"; If our industry had magazines, we'd have a lot of People but no Variety, a Rolling Stone, but no Billboard.
There are many more examples of the flaws, but these are obvious ones. What we may not know, though is that there's another flaw:
- For all but the biggest tech stories, any individual article likely lacks enough information to make a decision about the topic of that article.
Anil Dash — Why you can't trust tech press can't teach you about the tech industry
Today, I'm down at Google in Mountain View at Techraking, a gathering of technologists and investigative journalists. It's been super inspiring because of the fresh to me perspectives — I'd love to help Portland media outlets with projects like those I've heard about.
At lunch, I learnt I was to lead a small group breakout on "the future of the CMS." To keep the discussion going, we started out by brainstorming the things we liked and want to improve our respective software, and then did a roundtable to identify our six month personal goals.
Some things people like about their CMS:
What people would like to improve (lots of conversation, as expected):
Given the short notice, I thought the breakout session went quite well. About twenty people showed up. In terms of what worked:

Jessica Saulnier's life story has been entwined with the military, and she plans to keep it that way.
The theme began at birth, in 1984, on Keesler Air Force Base in Mississippi - or even before, with her grandfather, who was captured and imprisoned in Poland during World War II.
When she graduates this month from Rutgers-Camden, Saulnier will head to law school to pursue her dream of becoming a military lawyer with the Judge Advocate General Corps.
"If they let me into the military, they're going to have to kick me out when I'm 70. I'm going to be that person going, 'Nooo!' " Saulnier, 30, said last week.

We consider a variety of memoryless discrete-time noisy communication channels where the noise is modeled as an additive white Gaussian noise process, and where the input of the channel is distorted according to a deterministic function f(X) of the form i) f(X) = αXn ii) f(X) = α|X|n iii) f(X) = α|X|1/q iv) f(X) = αsgn(X)|X|1/q, for all α ϵ R*, n ϵ N*{1}. Subject to an average power constraint, we study the capacity-achieving input distributions of these classes of channels and prove them to be discrete except for the linear case f(X) = αX, where the optimal input is Gaussian distributed. Furthermore, we prove that these optimal input distributions have a finite number of mass points for classes iii) and iv). The results are reached through the development of a methodology and tools that are based on standard decompositions in a Hilbert space with the Hermite Polynomials as a basis, and we conjecture that these bases are natural candidates for general information-theoretic studies of the capacity of channels affected by additive white Gaussian noise.

The trial of ousted Egyptian president Hosni Mubarak resumed in Cairo after a three-month delay, but it was put on hold again until the new year.
An ambulance brought the ex-leader to the courthouse, and he was wheeled inside on a hospital stretcher.
Egyptians protested outside, demanding the death penalty.
Mubarak faces charges in the deaths of hundreds of protestors who were killed during an uprising earlier this year. He's also charged with abuse of power.
Mubarak has been under arrest in a hospital since April.
His two sons who are in prison also face charges.

I remember my first noob mistake was something about libc, I ended up deleting it by trying to link it, I couldn't run any programs...
04-06-2005 #28
first mistake: not doing certain commands as root when I should and doing others as root when I shouldn't.
second: wtf is gui? lol
third: where's the .exe
fourth: relating to one previously posted. Who the heck is KATE and why is she on my laptop.
fifth: why am I editing a text file those don't do anything? ahhh...so used to wordpad and frivolous pages of nothing.
sixth: most recently: i put down xfs instead of jfs in my fstab and then my laptop battery died and never could remount /dev/hda3 because it kept sayin xfs unknown filesystem. Just installed gentoo on my new 'old' cheap laptop and had to do it again. Always double check important config files.All right, brain.

Intaglio prints made by using acrylic medium for the transfer instead of the usual pressure transfer onto damp paper.. I have printed successfully off of traditional intaglio plates, viscosity inked carved metal and woodcuts. The technique is the same regardless of the printing matrix; the entire surface must have a layer of oil-based printing ink which acts as a release agent. After the plate is inked, acrylic medium is sprayed on and let dry. Subsequent layers of acrylic are applied until the surface is more or less flat. A fresh layer of medium is applied and while wet, some fabric is put down followed by another layer of acrylic so that the fabric is completely encased in acrylic. When all is dry, the fabric is peeled away revealing a detailed intaglio print that can be stretched like a painting and is suitable for overpainting with oils or alkyds. I have printed tiny images as well as woodcuts up to 2 1/2' x 5' in size.

Images of a surreal/mountainscape 72" h x 44" w x 1 1/2"d painting in process. It is painted on very burly hemp canvas sized with three coats of acrylic gesso. I did a pencil sketch on the gesso based on sketches done near Ross Green Lake in Wrangell/St Elias National Park summer, 23013. Then I applied a thick layer of underpainting using pallet knife with Permalba White and Lukas Painting Butter. The color is a combination of staining and glazing using oil and alkyd transparent colors with Gamblin Galkyd Medium. Paint brands are Gamblin, CAS, Lukas, Old Holland, and Winsor Newton.

State1 of a small work of carved copper representing a scene from the Wolverine area in Wrangell Saint Elias National Park. The tools are die grinders and the marks they make as they carve the metal show highly directional reflections, or anisotropy. The effect makes the artwork extremely sensitive to viewing angle and incident light. As a result the wortks are very lively and have a surreal kind of spatial quality.

Coffee Glacier
My annual glacier painting trip the first part of May this year was to the Coffee Glacier in Denali National Park. My partners in this venture were Jesse Venable, his wife, Sue and Terry Honeysett. We flew with Talketna Air Taxi. The owner, Paul, pointed out the Coffee and Buckskin Glaciers as possibly better choices than going to the Eldridge as originally planned. Mile high walls of flesh colored granite soaring above the sensuous curves of glacial snow in the crystalline air come together to make a scene of staggering beauty.

Introduction to Physical Geography
Writing in clear prose, Ralph Scott offers a complete introduction to physical geography in a concise paperback. It contains well-balanced, well-illustrated coverage of the major themes of physical geography: the characteristics, interdependence, and global distribution of the earth's major physical features (weather and climate, natural vegetation, soils, and landforms). The process-oriented approach, with an emphasis on systems, shows how the Earth is a single, functioning entity. An emphasis on North America characterizes this edition. Biogeography, particularly ecosystems and food chains, is covered in detail in two chapters.
