1. Misplaced index cards: 16:32
The strangely solid kerplunk I noticed when I emptied my trash into the garbage chute may have been the sound of a full index card case containing hundreds of index cards with notes from the Power Within event and from a brainstorming session on goals. Maybe. Possibly.
That's okay. Good reason to write down my goals again. I know, I'll make that my reward activity for the day. Once I get through all the rest of the stuff...
Random Emacs symbol: decompose-string - Function: Return STRING where `composition' property is removed.
2. Lazyweb request: dependency grapher?: 16:49
Would anyone happen to know of something that makes it easy to graph dependencies, preferably interactively? I'd like it to be ridiculously easy to split an entity into two entities A and B, while preserving the inbound connections for A and the outbound connections for B. This is for a crazy goal management thing I'd like to have... =)
If it's open source and keyboard-friendly, that would totally rock. If not, well, I'll sit down one of these vacations and hack something up. Maybe Christmas. (Only two months away! eek!)
Random Emacs symbol: message-unix-mail-delimiter - Variable: Regexp matching the delimiter of messages in UNIX mail format.
3. The power of applause: 19:06
Listening to the Entrepreneurship 101, I find myself struck by the silence of the rooms sometimes. Perhaps it's Toastmasters training, but I feel strange when transitions between speakers aren't accompanied by applause. I've been up there before. The stress of speaking in public does *not* stop when you step off the stage. No, it gets worse. You start wondering whether you said the right thing. You're sure you rambled on and that no one learned anything useful. You retreat to your seat and agonize.
I should try applauding every transition, even if that means being the first to clap...
Random Emacs symbol: ad-update-regexp - Command: Update functions with an advice name containing a REGEXP match.
4. October is crazy!: 23:39
If I disappear from the surface of the earth or blog sporadically, it is because not only do I have a number of academic deadlines (important!), but I also have:
Taking the Terror out of Talk
Oct 10, 6:00 - 8:00 at Metro Hall
(A Toastmasters educational module on dealing with anxiety when speaking in public)
Oct 16 - 19, a free IT conference at which I am:
- on a panel about Enterprise 2.0
- presenting my research at the technology showcase
- giving a lightning talk
- organizing and running a "Hack Night"
DemoCamp: Livin' la Vida Emacs
Oct 26
AND the IBM Center for Advanced Studies is reviewing its proposals this month or so, too...
So we're looking at one major thing each week, although the truth is, all of them are droppable if I accept the consequences.
I can do this. =)
Random Emacs symbol: group - Widget: A widget which groups other widgets inside.
5. Good things: KMD2004: 23:55
I come from a technical background, and the almost-sociological analyses we need to do for this KMD2004 course on Knowledge Media, Culture and Society actually scares me. That's probably why I participate the most in class - I want to test my ideas, even if that means admitting I don't understand something or taking a wild guess at something else.
I'm happy with the critique I submitted today, though. Instead of the usual bullet points, I spent some time last night and this morning picking out the main point and summarizing other points in the article. You can find a draft of my critique at http://sachachua.com/notebook/school/lea.muse.html . I like it more than the terse, almost telegraphic summaries my classmates prepared, following the text closely. It's less of a summary than a discussion, and I didn't repeat all the points during the main discussion - I just picked out a few to talk about. I'm happy with it, although I may have nervously rambled. I guess it's a good sign that as I explained things, I learned more, and I realized some of the answers to my questions! <laugh>
I can't take credit for another good thing that happened today, but still. =) During the break, the person beside me turned to me and asked if my frequent blogging examples meant that I blogged. I said, "Sure!", introduced myself, and handed him a business card with my blog URL. I asked him if he blogged too, and he said that he hadn't updated his in a while. I asked how I could get in touch with him anyway. Upon reading his e-mail address, I mentioned the roleplaying I'd done in high school, and that turned into a good conversation. (And he said he was shy! He started the conversation... <smile>)
I turned up at the MaRS Entrepreneurship 101 series and met a few people whom I want to introduce to others, so that was good. Heading over to No Regrets to catch Merlin Mann of 43Folders also netted me a few people I should follow up with.
I wish I could've worked more on the IBM stuff, but that just means I'll need to plan my morning carefully. And get up early, for once!
It was a good day, and tomorrow will be even better.An unexamined life is not worth living. - Socrates
(I keep messing up the attribution of this quote! Socrates, not Aristotle, not Aquinas. Socrates. Must remember; I cite it so often!)

Global Wind Grows, But At Slower Rate
From Earth Techling
By Pete Danko
The world added 44.7 gigawatts of wind power capacity in 2012, but that wasn't enough to keep the rate of growth from slowing for the third consecutive year.
In releasing annual wind power totals, the Global Wind Energy Council cited a big drop by China – from 18 GW of new capacity added in 2011 to 13.2 GW brought online in 2012 – in holding the growth rate to just under 19 percent. In 2009, installed capacity had grown by 32 percent. In 2010, it grew 24 percent, and in 2011, 21 percent.

That's not a great trend, but stepping back a bit things look better: In 10 years, global capacity has gone from 31.1 GW to 282.4 GW. And even in 2012, the GWEC said, so-called "emerging markets," like Mexico and European nations (Sweden, Romania, Italy and Poland) beyond the traditional wind countries, pitched in with a record 12.4 GW.
"While China paused for breath, both the U.S. and European markets had exceptionally strong years," Steve Sawyer, secretary general of the GWEC, said in a statement.

In fact, China barely beat out the U.S. in 2012, 13,200 MW to 13,124 MW, according to GWEC data (1,000 MW equals 1 GW). The two countries together provided some 59 percent of the world's new installed wine energy capacity in 2012.
China overtook the U.S. in 2010 as the country with the most installed wind energy capacity, and as of the end of 2012 had 75.6 GW installed (the U.S. had 60 GW), but its industry is suffering great growing pains.

SAN JOSE -- Two years before this month's explosive hate-crime charge ignited outrage and intensified scrutiny of race relations at San Jose State, an in-depth study found that black students experienced troubling and sometimes racist behavior from professors, coaches and other students.
But the 100-page report -- commissioned by a previous SJSU president and submitted to the new administration in 2011 -- was never publicized, and incoming President Mo Qayoumi disbanded the advisory group behind the project to start his own committee on diversity. That group has met only once -- this fall -- in the months before last week's revelations that four white students had been charged with tormenting a black roommate in their dorm for weeks.
Some student leaders say they stumbled upon the report this spring -- after trying to convey to the school very similar concerns about faculty diversity and stereotypes.
"I was just surprised that pretty much everything we were trying to bring to the university's attention was already brought to the university's attention two years ago," said Gary Daniels, a student and president of the Black Unity Group, "and nothing was done about it."
The hate-crime case has focused national attention on San Jose State, with black students and community leaders protesting under one of the campus' enduring symbols of the civil rights movement: the towering Black Power statue of Olympic sprinters Tommie Smith and John Carlos with fists raised high.
Sociology associate professor Susan Bell Murray, who conducted the study for the school's former Committee on Campus Climate, had hoped the research would improve students' experiences on campus.
"Basically, I got an email saying, 'Thanks, we read the report. We don't want to put it on our website," she said, echoing concerns of students who have felt ignored by the campus's top leaders.
The report -- now posted on Murray's faculty Web page -- opened a window into the experiences of black students as well as Hispanic, Vietnamese, white and gay students.
Black students interviewed in focus groups reported:
Last week, after news broke of the hate-crime allegations, Murray said she reminded the president and his team of her study, directing them in particular to the section about white students feeling "invisible" in the discussion about campus diversity and race.
Meanwhile, gay students felt that their presence in group discussions at times made their professors uncomfortable.
While the Campus Climate Committee conducted some workshops based on the research, it didn't have a chance to roll out broader reforms. Qayoumi was not available for an interview on Tuesday, but SJSU spokeswoman Pat Harris said the problems documented in the report were widely known -- hardly a secret being swept under the rug.
"Yes, it's been long documented that San Jose State, despite being one of the most diverse universities in the country, is not immune to the challenges that diversity brings," she said.
Harris said Qayoumi replaced the committee with a Commission on Diversity that would be "empowered to make change," as it is led by two vice presidents.
Murray -- who spent years studying the issues -- applied to serve on the new commission but was not accepted. Harris said she didn't know why Murray wasn't selected but that the university was looking for a broader cross-section of people to serve on the new panel.
The disbanded committee had wanted to create programs for white students to participate in a dialogue about how they fit into the diverse campus, its former chairwoman said.
"I think the president just had an idea of going in a different direction," said Wiggsy Sivertsen, a veteran campus counselor. "We were not happy about it, I wasn't happy about it -- I thought we had more work to do. But I also thought, 'OK, if you have a better idea, maybe it'll work.'
"Obviously it hasn't."
Last week's news spurred Sivertsen to reconvene the Campus Climate Committee, with or without the administration's blessing. She plans to get it started next month.
"I don't care if people like it or not," she said, "We're going to make it work."

I've lived in the Carencro/Lafayette area all my life. From the food, to the people, to the area sports teams, no matter where I visit, this area is my home and I love it. As a news reporter at Newstalk 96.5 FM KPEL, I really enjoy being able to keep our listeners informed on the news of the day, whether it's local, state or national. In addition to this, I do website work and behind the scenes stuff that keeps the station running. The most fun thing I get to do at KPEL, though, is being able to do color commentate the Courtesy Automotive Game of the Week. As I said, I love sports, so getting to cover our local sports teams is a real treat for me. On ESPN 1420, I am the host of "Off The Bench," a sports talk show that covers everything from high school athletics to the Cajuns to the Saints to whatever else is happening in the world of sports!

About the Book
Necessary As Blood is the latest entry in Deborah Crombie's New York Times Notable, Edgar®, Agatha, and Macavity Awards-nominated mystery series featuring Scotland Yard detectives Duncan Kincaid and Gemma James. A Texan frequently compared to the masters of British crime fiction—including P.D. James, Martha Grimes, Barbara Vine, and fellow American Elizabeth George—Crombie dazzles once more with Necessary As Blood—a relentlessly suspenseful tale of a vanished mother, a murdered father, and a helpless, endangered child.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />
Once the haunt of Jack the Ripper, London's East End is a vibrant mix of history and the avant-garde, where elegant Georgian town houses exist side by side with colorful street markets and the hippest clubs. But here races and cultures still clash, and the trendy galleries and glamorous nightlife disguise a violent and seedy underside.
Sandra Gilles, a young mother, leaves her daughter with a friend and then disappears on a beautiful Sunday afternoon in May. Shortly thereafter, her husband, a Pakistani lawyer, is killed. Scotland Yard detective Gemma James happens upon the scene—and soon she and Duncan Kincaid, her life partner and colleague, are on the trail of a murderer. But the investigation grows darker and more dangerous at every turned corner, and the true prize must be protected at all costs: a beautiful, orphaned little girl, not yet three, whose life now hangs in the balance.

Panthers training camp sets attendance record
Published: Wednesday, August 14, 2013 at 12:34 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, August 14, 2013 at 12:34 p.m.
The training camp for the Carolina Panthers set a new attendance record this year.
According to the Spartanburg Convention and Visitors Bureau, more than 45,500 people attended this year's training camp at Wofford College.
"That's up more than 3 percent from last year's record," Chris Jennings, director of the SCVB said in a statement, "and an increase in attendance for the fourth straight year. We see this as an encouraging trend and another great reason to visit Spartanburg and see Cam Newton and the Carolina Panthers up close and personal."
According to the CVB, research on previous training camps in Spartanburg showed nearly 35 percent of visitors traveled more than 50 miles to attend, spending almost $2 million during their visits.

9.1-18 Larceny by Conversion of a Motor Vehicle -- § 53a-119 (10) and §§ 53a-122 through 53a-125b
Revised to April 23, 2010
Note: The degree of the larceny is determined by the value of the property stolen. See § 53a-122 (first degree); § 53a-123 (second degree); § 53a-124 (third degree); § 53a-125 (fourth degree); § 53a-125a (fifth degree); § 53a-125b (sixth degree). The dollar amounts for the degrees of larceny were increased as of October 1, 2009. See the table in Introduction to Larceny for the values in effect prior to that date.
The defendant is charged [in count __] with larceny by conversion of a motor vehicle in the (first / second / third / fourth / fifth / sixth) degree. The statute defining this offense reads in pertinent part as follows:
a person is guilty of conversion of a motor vehicle who, after renting or leasing a motor vehicle under an agreement in writing which provides for the return of such vehicle to a particular place at a particular time, fails to return the vehicle to such place within the time specified, and who thereafter fails to return such vehicle to the agreed place or to any other place of business of the lessor within one hundred twenty hours after the lessor shall have sent a written demand to (him/her) for the return of the vehicle by registered mail addressed to (him/her) at (his/her) address as shown in the written agreement or, in the absence of such address, to (his/her) last-known address as recorded in the records of the motor vehicle department of the state in which (he/she) is licensed to operate a motor vehicle.
For you to find the defendant guilty of this charge, the state must prove the following elements beyond a reasonable doubt:
Element 1 - Rented or leased a
motor vehicle
The first element is that the defendant (rented / leased) a motor vehicle. <Review the evidence of the written lease and re-read or paraphrase the statutory language regarding same.>
Element 2 - Failed to return
the motor vehicle
The second element is that the defendant failed to return the motor vehicle at the agreed upon time and within 120 hours after <insert name of lessor> sent a written demand for the return of the vehicle. <Review the evidence of the demand letter.>
Element 3 - Intent
The third element is that the defendant intended to convert the vehicle to (his/her) own use. "Conversion" is an unauthorized assumption and exercise of the right of ownership over goods belonging to another, to the exclusion of the owner's rights. Even when a person's possession of the property was at first rightful, retention of that property can become an unlawful conversion. "(His/Her) own use" would include selling, transferring or giving the property to another.
A person acts "intentionally" with respect to a result when (his/her) conscious objective is to cause such result. <See Intent: Specific, Instruction 2.3-1.>
Element 4 - Value
The fourth element is that the motor vehicle had a value that <insert as appropriate:>
First degree: exceeded $20,000.
Second degree: exceeded $10,000.
Third degree: exceeded $2,000.
Fourth degree: exceeded $1,000.
Fifth degree: exceeded $500.
Sixth degree: did not exceed $500.
<See Larceny, Instruction 9.1-1, for a full explanation of this element.>
In summary, the state must prove beyond a reasonable doubt that 1) the defendant (rented / leased) a motor vehicle, 2) (he/she) failed to return the vehicle, 3) (he/she) intended to convert the vehicle to (his/her) own use, and 4) the value of the motor vehicle was <insert value according to degree charged>.
If you unanimously find that the state
has proved beyond a reasonable doubt each of the elements of the crime of
larceny by conversion of a motor vehicle, then you shall find the defendant
guilty. On the other hand, if you unanimously find that the state has failed to
prove beyond a reasonable doubt any of the elements, you shall then find the
defendant not guilty.

Last year, the towns of Silverthorne, Frisco and Breckenridge teamed up with the High Country Conservation Center to offer energy audits to a number of small local businesses and support to make the changes to make their businesses more environmentally friendly and sustainable.
Lynne Greene, energy programs manager at HC3, spearheaded the project, which originally started with a grant through the Colorado energy office. HC3 already offered energy audits for residential buildings through its expert energy team.
"We'd never offered anything energy-wise to the business community, so we knew it was a gap in our services," Greene said. "We knew it was something that needed to be done and wasn't being done before this program."
Each year, interested businesses sign up for the audits, which look at anything from a facility's recycling and compost program to type of lights and insulation used. Frisco and Silverthorne grant each business a small stipend to assist in making the necessary changes.
Spots in the program are limited and it's not just a matter of signing up. Businesses must fill out an application and have a plan to accomplish at least one aspect that improves their environmental impact.
"There is almost always something that is easy for them to improve," Greene said. "No one's perfect on any of those things."
Frisco's version of the program, called Clean Tracks, started in 2011 and has already been implemented on more than 10 local businesses. Last year, for example, the Stork and Bear Company and The Barnyard upgraded their lighting to a more efficient model, each saving nearly $200 annually, while several businesses added or improved recycling and composting practices.
The 2012 "Green Champion" prize for the most energy, waste and carbon reduced went to the Shoe Inn Boutique, which replaced all its lights with energy-efficient LEDs and T8 fluorescents, saving more than $600 a year.
After seeing the success in Frisco, Silverthorne saw the potential and decided to start its own version, called Energy Smart, incorporating it into its economic development incentive package.
"We've had really good feedback," said Ryan Hyland, Silverthorne assistant town manager. "It's a really good partnership, and they're the experts in that field, so partnering up with them in the program has been really great for us."
Red Buffalo Coffee and Tea was one of the Silverthorne businesses that participated last year.
"Being committed to sustainable effort is something that's been of personal interest to me," said owner Erin Young. "I think we have responsibility as business leaders to set good examples."
Red Buffalo changed its halogen lights to LED lights, which have higher efficiency and a longer life. Young said that one of the main uses of the HC3 audit was being able to combine sustainability and environmental plans into one effort.
"It was definitely a way to get all the assistance for the projects that we wanted to do in one place," she said. "A lot of businesses have the to-do lists ... and they just never get around to it."
Aside from saving some money and decreasing the environmental impact of her cafe, Young said that doing the audit has also helped spread the idea of environmentally friendly and sustainable businesses practices to others, both within and outside of Summit County. People who have stopped in for a visit often ask questions about the cafe's composting and expressed interest in bringing something similar to their own hometowns.
"It's all just educating people and you get a greater good out of it," Young said.
Greene also agreed that there's more benefit to the results of the energy audits beyond money and safer, sustainable practices.
"By showing that they are socially and environmentally responsible, they're making their customers happier. They're expanding their customer base," she said. "Summit County cares about this kind of thing and it's something that makes the difference for small local stores that still rely on a local base."
Frisco, Silverthorne and Breckenridge are currently accepting applications for the 2013 round of energy audits with HC3. More information can be found online at www.highcountryconservation.org.

I won't post her recipe here because I didn't change a thing to the basic fried tomato ingredients or technique. I did however change the sauce to be used to top the tomatoes. Moogie made a basil mayo, which sounds completely delicious. But I had more poblano peppers I was dealing with so I decided to make this roasted poblano and lime mayonnaise instead.
1 poblano pepper, roasted, skinned and seeded
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1 TBSP fresh lime juice

Commercial license now. Great app, but Onyx does the same and that is for free.
wonderful software with 10.6 caompatility.
Version 3.8 features a gorgeous interface overhaul ... the best just got a whole lot better!
The market for these kinds of apps is kind of crowded these days. I registered Cocktail in 2002 when maintenance apps for OS X were few and far between. This app is still one of the best and well worth its price.
Yes, you can do all this in Terminal. But some of us prefer a visual UI, and this one is almost perfect and quite elegant.
Pointless. Everything that this app does can be done in Terminal, for free.
It's also not very well written - some versions of it actually, through stupid programming, revealed your admin password to everyone on the machine, by doing something in the form of
echo "your password" | sudo some_command.
Want a real replacement? Try Clix.
Great app, but I'm not sure it's worth the $15 given that other programs do the same for free.
This app is a life saver for OS X power users. Its worth every penny and then some.
I lvoe this app. and it loves me

EAGLE COUNTY — According to a Colorado Parks and Wildlife study, pika populations appear to be thriving in the high country — not dwindling in numbers as some reports have suggested.
The little critters — furry cousins of the hare and rabbit weighing in at just about 4 ounces — are generally hard to spot. They do, however, give out a distinctive call and can "throw" their voices.
"They're hard to see. They're camouflaged and small, and you probably have heard more than seen them," said Joe Lewandowski, Colorado Parks and Wildlife public information officer for the southwest region.
News stories during the past couple years and research conducted in 2006 raised concerns that the Rocky Mountains' cutest denizens were being forced out of their habitat and dying out due to rising temperatures. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service were even considering listing the pika under the Endangered Species Act. However, Colorado Parks and Wildlife studies published a few years ago seem to show otherwise within the state.
Pika studies
Researchers have found populations are well distributed throughout Colorado's mountains in high elevation areas. They generally live at elevations above 10,000 feet but have been found as low as 9,000 feet.
"In their primary habitat, mainly at and above timberline where there is lots of talus, we find pikas almost everywhere we look," said Amy Seglund, a species conservation biologist for Parks and Wildlife based in Montrose.
Seglund conducted a major research project to determine the health of pika populations in Colorado in 2008. Her field crew surveyed 62 historical locations across the state to determine the presence of pika, and they found the animals in more than 90 percent of those sites. Study areas included a spot in eastern Eagle County and some in Summit County, Grand County and Garfield County.
Since the original surveys were completed, more than 900 occupied sites have been documented by Colorado Parks and Wildlife.
"We were even finding them in these little talus areas and at lower elevations where I never guessed pika would have lived," she said.
Partly due to Seglund's study, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service decided not to list the pika as endangered.
Trouble in the West?
So why the alarm? Experts said that the concern originated from a research project in Nevada's Great Basin in 2003 that stated that global warming was the likely cause of the extirpation of some pika populations in the Great Basin.
Seglund's study, however, points out that the Nevada mountains are very different from Colorado's, where there is more moisture, cooler temperatures and more high-elevation habitat that is relatively undisturbed by roads or other human impact.
In short, while the climate may indeed be changing in the southern Rocky Mountains, Colorado's conditions are still conducive to pika.
"This is a picture of what's happening now," Lewandowski said. "Climate change is a reality, and we can't say what the tundra might look like 50-60 years from now, but for now Colorado's pika population are doing well."

It isn't often that nine people spend 16 days together and still like each other at the end. This last trip that my husband Joe and I took was an exception.
We started thinking about doing a trip on the Natchez Trace Parkway about two years ago. It seemed like a dream then. Really? A 440-mile bike ride - could we actually accomplish that?? Well, lots of thinking and planning determined that, yes, we could actually accomplish that.
The Natchez Trace Parkway runs from close to Nashville, Tenn. down to Natchez, Miss. It is a two-lane highway with a 50 mph speed limit, and no commercial traffic. The Trace offers intriguing stopping points including waterfalls, many scenic overlooks, signboards at pull-offs describing the Civil War battles that took place, and other historic information, such as the grave site of Merriweather Lewis (Lewis & Clark), a Confederate soldier burial ground and The Sunken Trace - an area of the old Trace that collapsed.
Article Photos
The 'Natchez Nine' at the Belmont Hotel in Belmont, Miss. In the top row from left to right are: Gene and Karen Barry, and Roger and Betsy Kalter. The bottom row is Judy and Joe Baker, Elin Jones, and Steve and Ann Simonton.
Nine of us chose to go on this great adventure: Elin Jones, who proclaimed, "We have to go this year. I'll be too old next year!"; newlyweds Karen and Gene Barry; Roger and Betsy Kalter - Roger our best storyteller, and Betsy our best photographer; seasoned bike riders Ann and Steve Simonton; and my husband Joe and I. We laughed a lot, learned a lot - about each other and of course the history of the area - and ate a lot (you tend to do that when you've ridden four to six hours a day). So by the end we felt like a family.
We averaged 37 miles a day for 12 days. A couple of days were under 30 miles, a couple of days were 55 to 60 miles. We decided to take a car with us so our bikes wouldn't have to carry all of our gear. One or two people took turns each day driving to a stopping/lunch/snack point and made sure the rest of us were OK. Five of us camped where there were camping areas close to the bed and breakfasts the other four of us stayed in.
One of the smartest things we did was take advantage of a service offered by Natchez Trace B&B Travel. Randy Fought with the Natchez Trace B&B Reservation Service got us our B&B reservations and helped us with all of our planning - maps, restaurants, camping areas, landmarks to see, etc. It was invaluable! (natcheztracetravel.com)
Amazingly, it only rained for 10 minutes on one day; we only had two flat tires and one broken spoke for the entire trip. We did have a bunch of sore shoulders, necks, arms, legs and especially rears. But no matter what hurt or got numb, we kept on going, because at the end of that day was a shower, a meal and a bed or sleeping bag, and many pleasant thoughts from that day - and the phrase "car back" echoing in our heads.
And so we traveled. Each day a new opportunity. Seeing some of the most beautiful parts of the country. Some of the highlights included: Peacocks - 17 of them at one B&B; meteor showers on clear nights; extremely friendly people (southern hospitality does exist); turtles attempting to cross the road and sometimes not making it; an armadillo that definitely did not make it across the road; mushrooms of many shapes, sizes and colors; Indian burial mounds; a large variety of beautiful, colorful wildflowers; butterflies zig-zagging across our path; big beautiful old farm houses turned into bed and breakfasts - we got to tour them and learn all about their history; and a stone wall made of 8 tons of stones and built by one man in memory of his American Indian great-grandmother, who was forced to leave Alabama as part of an exile program called the "Trail of Tears". It was almost inconceivable that one person could do all that. At 86, he's still working on it.
Someone asked me while we were planning this trip, "what is your motive for doing this?" That was easy. There is so much to see in this beautiful country of ours. Yes it takes time, effort, planning and money to travel, but it enriches your life many times over. When you return from a trip like this you feel as if you've achieved a new level of growth, and made your life more meaningful. You have stories to tell and new thoughts to share.
So get out there and take a life-enriching trip. Feel that sense of accomplishment. Enjoy life one new mile at a time!
Judy Baker lives in Marietta.

Brenda is a native North Dakotan and very pleased to be involved in the world of education through the NDSU Extension Service in Ramsey County. Her family and friends can make life interesting at times but there is always an opportunity for learning along the way.
Birthday Week
Seventeen years ago, my Mom designated this week in January as "birthday week" in our family. Three of her grandchildren – all three grandsons – have birthdays in the space of six days. Birthdays of other family members are scattered across the calendar but those of the three grandsons are strung across the middle of one of the coldest months in ND.
Our oldest son was born on a Super Bowl Sunday in January. My Mom announced that date was terrific as even in our extended family there were only two January birthdays to celebrate. Two years later we apparently thought that day was a good idea as our youngest son was also born on a Super Bowl Sunday. Again my Mom thought a January birthday was terrific. Double birthday celebrations ensued until their teen years when separate celebrations dominated.
Ten years later the nephew arrived – another January birthday – which lead to Grandma's declaration of the six day span from birthday one to birthday three as "birthday week". Like other families we discuss, deliberate about and dissect holiday plans, vacation plans, school calendars and work schedules to find time to spend together. We also discuss "birthday week" and though we are seldom together as our January boys are grown and gone on to their own lives it still merits its own conversations and reminders to send cards and well wishes. The reminders come from my Mom – to the birthday boys to remember each other and to my sister and me to remember the nephews. None of us believe she thinks we would forget, it's just that it's birthday week!
And oh, the fourth grandchild – the one and only granddaughter–her birthday is in September – which she believes should be a national holiday!

Met Costume Gala Stars Get Punked (Photos)
If anyone was expecting Anna Wintour to show up in a dress made of garbage bags or one held together with safety pins a la Elizabeth Hurley to the Metropolitan Museum's big Costume Institute gala Monday night, well that person would have been punked.
Though the theme of the gala to benefit the museum's Costume Institute was punk, in celebration of a new exhibit running May 9-Aug. 14 called "Punk: Chaos to Couture," some but not all the attendees took the theme to heart.
Ms. Wintour wore a white floral dress. Several other attendees including Uma Thurman (in Zac Posen) and Katie Holmes (in Calvin Klein) wore some lovely evening gowns. Even The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo, Rooney Mara, who was a co-chair of the event, wore a romantic white gown by Givenchy, though it had a hint of the gothic.
The big question for this year's gala was how the fashion crowd would interpret punk. Some took steps. Sienna Miller wore a studded biker jacket over her white evening gown; supermodel Joan Smalls wore a lacy black number by Tom Ford, accessorized with earrings in the shape of razor blades. Miley Cyrus showed up with spiky hair. Nicole Richie's hair stood up and appeared to have a blue-greyish hue. Dior designer Raf Simons, who walked in with Jennifer Lawrence as his guest, wore studded footwear.
Speaking of men, most didn't try to do anything punk with their tuxedos but we did notice Amar'e Stoudemire wearing a skinny black leather tie. Does that count? Ralph Lauren's son David wore what appeared to be studded pants. And we noticed at least two men wearing eyeliner, or guyliner. Now that's punk. And Zachary Quinto sported some blue hair.
Then there were those who went at the punk theme with gusto, such as Sarah Jessica Parker, who accessorized with a Philip Treacy hat in the shape of a giant mohawk. Karolina Kurkova in a boldly graphic one-sleeved Mary Katrantzou rock-and-roll minidress with an asymmetrical shoulder and heels with studded straps. Donatella Versace, black leather clad with spikes on her shoulders and wrists. And Anja Rubik, in a dramatic red leather minidress with upturned collars and sleeves and a sheer bottom adorned with metallic hardware by Anthony Vaccarello. It was very 80s.
Among the most memorable go-for-broke punk looks were that of Bergdorf Goodman's Linda Fargo and Madonna, the last A-lister to walk down the red carpet. She literally shut things down. She came shortly after Beyonce, this year's honorary chair, dressed in baroque Givenchy and she did not disappoint, serving up an audacious punk look, and posing repeatedly for photos with a confident stance that ended the red carpet proceedings on a very high note.
The pop star legend made a statement on a number of levels. The black and grey tartan jacket embroidered with silver metal studs and safety pins worn with a shredded fishnet dress and matching fishnet under-gloves and tights, with a belt that featured silver hardware and chains, leather and silver hardware gloves, leather and silver metal chain choker necklace, studded leather cuffs, and patent leather platform pumps with studded ankle straps, truly captured the punk aesthetic. It also felt true to Madonna who shot to fame in the 80s and whose look then incorporated some of the things she wore this evening. Also walking in after Beyonce, Queen Bey, when some journalists thought Beyonce would be the finale — well, that spoke volumes too.
Madonna looked terrific. Young pop stars take note. This is how you make an entrance, even years after your prime.
The night was a star-studded affair. One minute you're admiring the sight of Jimmy Fallon schmoozing with Jerry Seinfeld and the next, it's "oh look, there's Claire Danes." One minute you're observing Pedro Almodovar being interviewed in Spanish, and then all of a sudden you hear, "It's Kanye and Kim." Mr. West and Ms. Kardashian were both dressed in Givenchy, she in a floral number. Emily Blunt and Anne Hathaway had a nice reunion and photo op: both memorably starred in "The Devil Wears Prada." Then you're distracted by the sight of Nicki Minaj.
In other words, the guest list was impressive, and wide-ranging: It included Marina Abramovic, Alec Baldwin, Jessica Biel, Mayor Michael Bloomberg, Tyson and Kimberly Chandler, Sofia Coppola, Darren Criss, Cameron Diaz, Dakota and Elle Fanning, Colin Firth, Debbie Harry (well of course, it's a punk exhibition the gala is celebrating after all), Stacy Keibler, Alicia Keys, Matt Lauer, Miguel, Carey Mulligan, Frank Ocean, Vanessa Redgrave, Cindy Sherman, Taylor Swift, Christoph Waltz (when a journalist tried to get his attention by calling him Christopher, he didn't answer – no, it wasn't me) and Tiger Woods (with Lindsey Vonn) and many many more. There were reportedly 750 guests, and it was a group as eclectic as punk.
The exhibition, sponsored this year by online luxury retailer Moda Operandi, defines punk pretty broadly when it comes to fashion, with some clothing inspired by a spirit similar to that of punk, and some more literal interpretations.
The gala is also known as the Met Ball, The Party of the Year, and more recently, the Oscars of the East Coast. It's held on the first Monday of May every year. Gawking at what celebrities are wearing and whether a starlet will make it up all those stairs in a flowing gown with grace or difficulty has become a spectator sport since Ms. Wintour took over as a co-chairwoman of the gala in 1995. She brings sizzle and star power to the event by inviting some of the biggest names from Hollywood, sports and music, along with fashionistas from around the world.
What celebrities will wear to this is the object of frenzied attention, so much so that the red-carpet arrivals are now live-streamed on the websites of the Met, Moda Operandi, Samsung, and Vogue.
Starting Tuesday, consumers can buy some of the dresses worn at the gala. Moda Operandi will hold an event allowing women to purchase select looks worn by celebrities such as Gisele Bundchen, Kate Bosworth, Emma Watson, Dakota Fanning, Taylor Swift, and Olivia Wilde, Ms. Rubik, among others.

SNOWMASS VILLAGE - Voters flooded polls across the U.S. on Nov. 6, and Snowmass Village was no exception.
Many residents showed up to cast ballots at Town Hall on Election Day. This year they were voting on a variety of items, from U.S. president on down to a mill levy increase in support of the Snowmass-Wildcat Fire Protection District.
On the local level, many residents said voting in favor of the Pitkin County Library expansion was important to them. The advisory question on single-use bags also interested people.
"I love the bag initiative," said Deborah Madsen.
"I was watching a lot of the Town Council meetings, and they talked about that a lot," said Kristina Simpson.
For some residents who have children in the Aspen School District, such as Madsen, measure 2B approving a sales tax in the city of Aspen that would support the district was important, although Snowmass Village residents couldn't vote on it.
More people tend to show up to vote when the office of president is on the line. For some Snowmass Village residents, the economy was the most important issue in choosing a candidate to lead the nation.
"The economy ... the whole direction of the country basically," said Doug Hamley, who voted for Mitt Romney. "So it's kind of major."
"The last four years have really been miserable," said one resident, who wished to remain anonymous. "Hopefully the next four years will be better."
Others voted according to party affiliation. Simpson, who voted Democratic, said she chose the state and national candidates who were most "in sync with my values."
Susan Muenchen said she was voting "against the conservative agenda."

DSCC Raises $6.55 Million in January, Outpacing NRSC
The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee outraised its Republican counterpart by $2 million last month, pulling in $6.55 million, the committee announced Wednesday.
The DSCC has raised $59.2 million so far this election cycle, about $18 million more than the National Republican Senatorial Committee's haul of $41.3 million. Democrats also have about $2 million more in the bank than Republicans, with debt factored in.
"There's no question that the biggest challenge facing Democrats in the midterm is turnout, and we need our supporters to continue to step up so that we can provide our campaigns with cover on television and fund the most aggressive field efforts in history," DSCC Executive Director Guy Cecil said in a statement.
The NRSC said in a statement Tuesday that Republicans' combined fourth-quarter fundraising figures in eight states with competitive races—including Montana, Alaska, Louisiana, and North Carolina—were higher than Democrats' combined total.
In 2013, Democratic congressional committees outraised Republicans, though Republicans raised more money to help gubernatorial candidates than did Democrats. A Wall Street Journal review of fundraising reports in the 52 most competitive House races found Democrats with a key advantage, while analysis of Senate candidates' reports showed GOP candidates starting to close the gap in the final quarter of the year.
Correction: The NRSC said Republicans' combined fourth-quarter fundraising in eight states with competitive races were higher than Democrats' combined total. An earlier version of this post incorrectly said the NRSC said Republican candidates had outraised Democrats in several states with competitive races.

Eldon School District officials confirmed a lock down at South and Upper Elementary on Tuesday afternoon. The lockdown happened around lunch time Tuesday because of an upset parent according to Superintendent Matt Davis.
"We had reasonable concerns with a parent coming to school and we called law enforcement for assistance," Davis said. "Our access control system into the school worked great and the parent was not able to enter the building. The issue was then resolved by law enforcement."
The issue occurred outside of South Elementary, but since Upper Elementary is next door, school officials decided to put it on lock down also.
Davis added that because of the new security access system, school officials were able to keep the parent out of the building and resolve the issue outside. He feels as if this helped the situation and kept it from disrupting school hours.
Davis said that the children were not in danger and that a lock down may not have been necessary but he would "rather err on the side of safety."
The child is allowed back to school but the parents involved are now not allowed back on school grounds according to Davis.

WALNUT CREEK -- The Diablo Symphony Orchestra is marking its 50th anniversary season by marching into the future under the baton of a different drummer -- or in this case, a string musician.
After a yearlong round of five guest conductors and an intricate interview process resulting in enough data to fill a symphonic score, 33-year-old Matilda Hofman has been named its music director and conductor.
Succeeding Joyce Johnson Hamilton, a widely-respected trumpet player and the symphony's leader for 31 years, Hofman appears to be Hamilton's young, wiry antithesis -- a viola player; devotee of new, contemporary music; conductor with a fiery determination behind her buoyant demeanor.
No one would suggest Hamilton wasn't enormously devoted, but after 31 years, even Diablo Symphony musician Bill Eich, in a 2011 interview, said Hamilton was eager to loosen the ties and expand as a trumpet player.
"There comes a time when a change is in order," Eich said.
Charged with selecting their new leader, the musicians stuck with a thorough process, despite concern the deliberate schedule would place the winner in a serious time pinch.
Diablo Symphony Association President Patrick Campbell admits the anniversary season constitutes a "major step" and needs to "set the next 50 years off with flags flying." With a decision in May 2012, the new music director had just one month to plan.
In an interview two weeks before Hofman's Oct. 14 debut, Campbell appears relieved, even celebratory, saying, "The musicians were looking for a bright spirit, a new approach, which Matilda just had. She brought vivacity, joy, musicianship. It was obvious she knew her business."
Hofman recalls the initial rehearsals with the orchestra as a jet-lagged blur.
"I had to go straight to Berlin, perform, then return and go straight to my second rehearsal. I have to say, I feel much more relaxed now," she says, laughing at the memory.
Her "audition performances" were also marred with muted atmospherics when a power outage in Rossmoor prevented the first appearance.
Perhaps that is why she was surprised, when Campbell called to inform her she had won the job and ask if he might come up to her home in Davis to discuss the future.
"I think they liked how I rehearsed ... and what I was going to do beyond conducting. How I would show leadership," she says, speculatively.
Campbell agrees, adding, "It was the music-making, bringing the orchestra to an exciting level of musicality. Despite all the many other responsibilities a director has, the primary one is to build the musicians."
To do that, Hofman insists she will stick to tradition, with familiar repertoire audiences will recognize and she will find satisfying.
"I've been working in contemporary music. I was missing this classical repertory in my daily life."
Hofman says listening is a primary skill of an excellent music director. In addition to listening to interpretations of other conductors -- a practice she insists is more mind-opening than imitating idiosyncratic gestures or style -- her ear is tuned to community.
"From the musicians, I heard they wanted to have a lasting, high-quality orchestra while still having fun," she said. "They wanted to give back; through education and programs for younger people."
Hofman believes community orchestras generate less-divided loyalties than professional orchestras.
"They don't play for money, but music is a vital part of their busy lives. They play because they love it and that's the only reason."
With plans to appear at the Walnut Creek Farmers Market, expand their outreach to schools and introduce co-productions with other music organizations, Hofman highlights favorite parts of her inaugural season.
"I chose the theme of journeys, because the orchestra was certainly going on a journey!" she exclaims. "The Samuel Barber is obscure, reflective: I wanted to give the audience a chance to know this beautiful piece. The Schumann is close to my heart. It's intelligent and fantastical and unsurpassed. Rimsky-Korsakov's "Scheherazade" -- this is a piece inspired by places other than the composer's home country."
Hamilton is the featured soloist in the Oct. 14 season opener, and Hofman is nearly giddy as she explains the significance.
"I can't wait to conduct. She's going to have so much to offer and to teach us. Plus, the Haydn Trumpet Concerto is a bold bit of music."
Between the weekly rehearsals and the DSO performances, she will continue to lead the new music Empyrean Ensemble at UC Davis, and spend time with her family in the outdoors.
"Dante is 4 and intends to play the bassoon, tuba and double bass. Lorenzo is 2 and hasn't expressed anything specific. My husband is a composer and conductor," she explains rapidly. "We spend time out in the natural world. It re-energizes me. With all the chaos in the world, music and nature are the two places we can go and recharge."
If you go
Diablo Symphony Orchestra opens the 50th Anniversary Season with "Arabian Nights," Sunday, Oct. 14 at 2 p.m. at the Lesher Center for the Arts in Walnut Creek. Featured soloist will be Joyce Johnson Hamilton on the trumpet. Tickets are $25 adult, $10 age 17 and under; go to http://purchase.tickets.com/buy/TicketPurchase?orgid=23939 or call 925-943-SHOW (7469)

That was definitely an interesting read, and it seems to have kicked up quite the shitstorm over on reddit. It's kind of crazy just how many subreddits have gone as far to ban all Gawker stuff over this.

I thought the creepiest part was how little difference there seemed to be between his online and real-life identities. The word "creep" was bandied about a lot. I can't think of a better way to describe this guy. I only vaguely knew what Reddit was, and now that I've read this it seems more like a haven for fucked up shit. No thank you.

Nothing described in that article crossed the threshold of "this is a man whose life needs to be ruined, so I can get paid for an article this week". I mean it would be one thing if it was a forum where revealing his ID wouldn't really have much on his life. But doing it on a forum of that size where dude becomes a national story is messed up.
Hopefully though he can flip it back on them, and make himself into a celebrity. Maybe he should write a book now?
Also the article did a poor job of conveying how this guy was so creepy and bad. Traditionally trolls are at their most annoying when they are attacking people personally behind the cloud of anonymity. Just re-posting content that people don't agree with is meh trolling.

My sympathy meter is not registering any sign of activity in this case. Fuck that guy, and his weird pedophilic, mysogenist bullshit and rationlaizations. I mean, really. The gawker article is probably a dick move, but I find it hard to feel bad for him.

If he broke laws, then yeah whatever. At least that's a process.
Trying this dude in internet courts just because you find him creepy or annoying is really disturbing. His whole life is ruined now because of this weird new e-ecosystem where non-celebs are getting globally trashed as celebs would.
Anytime this guy tries to a get a job now, even the most basic background check is going to make him out to be this nazi pedophile bog monster. Which I mean if that makes you feel good. It makes me feel gross.
It sucks to have to defend assholes like this, because there's literally nothing he's about that I agree with. But by all indications he has broken no laws. His only crime was that he did his dirty on a really popular message board, and that was enough to put him in gawker's sites.
I mean this guy has completely fake power--and the writer at gawker thinks they're taking down freaking nixon.
Trav was annoying here, and he enjoyed attacking people personally(not just posting offensive material)--but I would have never wanted that dude to have his life ruined.
I dunno, people feeling proud to take this guy down today is crazy. It makes me sad.
It is the same strain in human mob mentality that was like "witches? fuck witches--let's burn them"--you can't just go destroy people because they offend you or bother you.

Calm down, Futur....
It's just some good ol' fashioned muckracking of a real American villain...
Dude deserved to be taken down a notch....
If my mom's, my wife's or a hypothetical-daughter's ass-in-jeans ever showed up on a candid-picture messageboard that he created and moderated, i'd want to punch him in the throat..
Even though it might be legal, don't make it right.....
According to that.... If you're standing in a street and a little girl is running through a sprinkler on a nearby front lawn, you can legally take pictures of her and sell it as "art"..
this is what killed Princess Diana...

He's a creepy, racist, misogynist perv. Just because it's not illegal doesn't mean he isn't a huge piece of shit. Fuck him.

I don't really care what the law has to do with it, but this is social justice at its finest. How many people did he purposely make feel awful? This is exactly what non-violent assholes deserve. This public embarrassment thing sure beats paying for their room and board in jail.
Why would anyone want to hire this guy? Would you let him work for you? A lot of people in America have to work for minimum wage. I'm not going to lose any sleep that this dude will probably have to join them.

I say if you don't want your life ruined don't make a second life out of being a complete asshole and all-around creep. This guy acted without integrity, ethics, or morality and was remorseless about everything once he was caught. If I'm an employer, or a co-worker, I don't want someone in my place of business who has anything to do with pictures of dead preteen girls or the plethora of other crap Brutsch was into. I'd say this is a pretty obvious case of what goes around comes around.
All of that said, it would be nice to see Adrien Chen actually do some journalism of merit. How about you bring down a corporation or a corrupt politician instead of a troll? Surely there are greater uses of time than outting this asshat.

Roger to end year as world no. 1!
It took Roger a moment to get going today, but when his engine was warm he showed a fantastic performance, defeating Andy Murray at the ATP World Tour Finals 3-6, 6-3, 6-1.
"It was a great atmosphere and I thought I played a great match," said Roger. "Andy was playing really well in that first set, I couldn't read his first serve and he made it very hard. When you are behind against the top players it's very difficult and I was a bit worried because I've lost so many three setters against him. But I picked up my game and when he dropped a bit, I took advantage. It's given me real confidence for my next match."
Murray's weapon in the first set was clearly his serve, which proved just a bit too strong for Roger. But our champ kept his cool, waiting for his chance and then peaked when it mattered, winning the last six games in series!
Roger has not booked his semi-final spot quite yet, but is of course very close to doing so. But what is certain is that Roger will once again end the year as the world's number one player! His victory today earned him enough points to keep Nadal at a distance. Roger is only the third player in history - after Jimmy Connors and Pete Sampras - to begin the new season at the top of the ranking for a fifth time (Sampras' record stands at six!).
Roger, the number one!
Roger, the best number one!
We love you forever.
no 1 for the world records
and for ever at our hearts
allez and hopp
we love you!!! as always! Godspeed!
You are true #1 now and forever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Source: What Happens Over Time to Those Who Bully and Those Who are Victimized? Patricia McDougall, PhD, Tracy Vaillancourt, PhD & Shelley Hymel, PhD
How is Cyberbullying Different from Face-to-Face Bullying
- The victim has no place to hide; the bully can target them anytime and anyplace.
- Cyberbullying can involve a very wide audience (e.g. through the circulation of video clips on the internet), although the bully may not be aware of their reactions.
- The bully is relatively protected by the anonymity of electronic forms of contact, which acts as a safeguard against retaliation or sanctions.
- As with some indirect traditional bullying, the cyberbully does not usually see the response of the victim, changing the satisfactions or inhibitions normally generated by this.
- Adolescents who tended to spend more time online tended also to report that they cyberbullied or were themselves cyberbullied more frequently.
