Thursday, October 13: WMFO and Canon, the Tufts literary magazine, are cosponsoring an open mic/performance/poetry slam! Check it out here:
Looks good, guys and girl!Ā It's so much simpler and more streamlined than the old site that I felt weird about it for a while.Ā Then I realized that everything I needed was pretty much there.Ā So, I guess it's just taking me a little while to get out of the "ridiculous website" mentality.
A few things I noticed when poking around this morning:
1.) If you go to the schedule, and click on a show, all of their old archives appear to be available for downloading.Ā Deception!Ā If you click anything older than two weeks, you are denied by the resulting page.Ā Maybe we could just have those links not be there at all?
2.) On the "about" page the sentence, "The coverage map below shows our broadcast range on our FM frequency" appears.Ā More deception!Ā It's not there.Ā Chump change.
3.) I love the pop-out player for the stream, but is there any way to get an iTunes stream for people that prefer that?Ā Or did I just miss it?
4.) On the old schedule, there was a coloring system to indicate where we were in the week.Ā I guess it was kind of dumb, because you should just look at the time and find it on the schedule, but the visual made it nice and simple.Ā Could we have a system like that?Ā Maybe just highlight the current show.Ā Or do an iCal-like system where the column of the current day is highlighted, and a horizontal line tracks the current time.
Feel free to respond to my comments and questions.Ā I'll be sure to check back.
Great job!!

EPA's Proposed Renewable Fuel Standard Tackles GHG Emissions
President Barack Obama and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced on May 5 the issue of a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking for the federal Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS). The RFS rulemaking was part of a larger presidential announcement on biofuels. The Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 (EISA) requires the national supply of renewable fuels to reach 36 billion gallons by 2022, causing a significant expansion of the current RFS. In keeping with the EISA, the proposed revision to the RFS program specifies the volume of cellulosic biofuel and biomass-based diesel that must be used in transportation fuel each year. The program classifies these fuels as "advanced biofuels," defined as fuels other than corn-based ethanol and with greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions half that of the fuel they replace.
The program requires a volume of advanced biofuels that is greater than the combined requirements for cellulosic biofuel and biomass-based diesel, thereby allowing some competition among these and other advanced biofuels. By 2022, the proposed RFS program will require the annual use of 16 billion gallons of cellulosic biofuel, at least 1 billion gallons of biomass-based diesel, and a total of 21 billion gallons of advanced biofuels, leaving 4 billion gallons unspecified (although the EPA may require greater volumes of biomass-based diesel after 2012, which would leave fewer gallons unspecified). To allow for conventional biofuels, such as corn-based ethanol, the program sets an even greater volume requirement for all renewable fuels. To qualify as renewable fuels, biofuels produced at new facilities must achieve a 20% reduction in GHG emissions compared to the fuels they replace. By 2022, the proposed RFS program requires 36 billion gallons of renewable fuel altogether, which leaves room for up to 15 billion gallons of conventional biofuels, such as corn ethanol. Despite the many changes, the proposed program builds on the programmatic structure of the original RFS, including the use of tradable credits to track compliance with the program.
To determine which fuels qualify as advanced biofuels and new renewable fuels, the proposed program is the first federal program to assess the lifecycle GHG emissions associated with each fuel, including indirect emissions from land use changes, to determine which fuels qualify for the fuel standards. Lifecycle emissions include the emissions from growing, harvesting, and transporting the biomass and from producing and transporting the fuel. With land use changes included, the EPA proposes to allow only the five most sustainable process pathways for producing ethanol from corn starch to qualify as renewable fuels, while ethanol produced from sugar in a biomass-fueled facility can qualify as an advanced biofuel. Likewise, biodiesel from virgin plant oils qualifies as a renewable fuel, while biodiesel from waste grease and oils, animal fats, and non-food grade corn oil qualify as advanced biofuels. Recognizing the controversial nature of such analyses, the EPA plans to conduct peer reviews of the key components of its analysis and will hold a public workshop on the lifecycle analysis. The EPA will accept comments on the proposal for 60 days after its publication in the Federal Register, and the agency proposes to have the revised RFS program take effect on January 1, 2010. See the EPA press release and the full notice of proposed rulemaking, particularly pages 314-328 and 491-493 (PDF 3.0 MB). Download Adobe Reader.
While the EPA is focusing on the regulations for the RFS, the ethanol industry is concerned about having a distribution channel for all that ethanol. In early March, industry group Growth Energy and 54 ethanol manufacturers submitted a waiver application to the EPA, asking to allow conventional blends of gasoline to include up to 15% ethanol by volume, a blend that would be referred to as E15. Since 1978, the limit has been set at 10% ethanol (E10) for conventional blends of gasoline. However, the amount of ethanol required by the RFS will soon hit market constraints imposed by the 10% limit and by the relatively small market for ethanol-rich blends known as E85 (a blend of 85% ethanol and 15% gasoline). A 15% blend limit would expand the potential ethanol market by nearly 50%. The EPA published the waiver request in the Federal Register on April 21 and is accepting public comments on the request until May 21. Current statute calls for EPA to make a decision within 270 days of receipt, which is December 1. See the EPA and Growth Energy press releases and the Federal Register notice.

which of the following do you think is correct one?
I have developed a SaaS application
I have developed a SaaS product?
I have developed a SaaS product -> would insinuate that the product was "made by" a company called Saas.
and how does the following statement sound ?
I have Launched my first SaaS product?
I don't know for sure which I would pick, but to help you decide, spell out the phrase that SaaS stands for, and see if that helps:
"I have just launched my first software-as-a-service product."
"I have just launched my first software-as-a-service application."
(Frankly, I don't have a problem with either one.)

How to Ask Questions the Smart Way (not affiliated with this site, but well worth reading)
ok, thanks for your inputs.
One more question:
Is "app" and "application" the same thing? or do they have a diff meaning technically?
As far as I know, they literally mean the same thing (app is just shorthand for application), but these days "app" seems to have developed the connotation of an application for mobile devices; so I'd probably choose based on whether you want that mobile connotation or not -- though people still often mention web apps, too.

STOCKTON - Police arrested a man who assaulted two women after burglarizing a north Stockton home Wednesday afternoon, authorities said.
A 23-year-old woman had just returned to her home in the 8000 block of Albany Drive along with her 21-year-old sister about 3:20 p.m. when they noticed the front door had been forced open, officers said. After going inside to investigate, a neighbor, identified by police as 30-year-old Brandon Sharp, entered the home behind them.
Sharp told the 23-year-old woman that the property manager had evicted her and demanded that she and her sister leave, police said. When the victims refused, Sharp punched the 21-year-old woman in the face several times and struck the 23-year-old woman in the head several times with a gun, officers said.
Police spotted Sharp in a vehicle several blocks away and conducted a traffic stop. Sharp was arrested on suspicion of burglary, battery, making terrorist threats and assault with a deadly weapon with force likely to produce great bodily injury, authorities said.

3.11-8 Damages for Libel/Slander Per Se
Revised to January 1, 2008
In determining the amount of
general damages to award for the injury to the plaintiff's reputation, you
should consider what reputation the plaintiff had in the community when the
(statement / writing) was made. You should consider all of the
circumstances surrounding the making of the (statement / writing). You may
also compensate the plaintiff for damages that (he/she) will likely incur in
the future. These damages can include additional damage to (his/her)
reputation that occurs as a result of the bringing of this lawsuit.
In addition to general damages
awarded for the injury to the plaintiff's reputation, you may also award the
plaintiff what are called special damages, or damages for economic loss. To
recover special damages, however, the plaintiff must prove that (he/she)
suffered economic loss that was legally caused by the publication of the
defendant's defamatory (statement / writing), even where the defamation is
(libel / slander) per se. General and special damages together comprise
what are called compensatory damages, or damages that compensate the
plaintiff for (his/her) loss.
If you find that the plaintiff has
suffered a violation of (his/her) legal rights but (he/she) has not suffered
an actual injury, (he/she) is entitled at least to nominal damages. Nominal
damages may be awarded because you find that the defamatory material is of
an insignificant character, or because you find that the plaintiff had a bad
character, so that no substantial harm has been done to the plaintiff's
reputation, or there is no proof that serious harm has been done to the
plaintiff's reputation. Nominal damages are also awarded when they are the
only damages claimed and the action is brought for the purpose of
vindicating the plaintiff's character by a jury verdict that establishes
that the defamatory material was false.
Punitive damages, which in
Connecticut are limited to attorney's fees and expenses, may also be
awarded. Punitive damages may be awarded if you find that the defendant's
actions in this case were wilful, wanton or malicious, as I shall later
define these terms. These damages, however, are not awarded as a matter of
right, but rather as a matter of discretion, to be determined by you after
you consider all of the evidence. Both nominal and punitive damages also may
be awarded where the defamatory material is (libel / slander) per se.
To summarize, if the defamatory
material is (libel / slander) per se, the plaintiff is entitled to an award
of general damages for injury to reputation without proof of monetary loss,
and an award of special damages upon proof of actual injury or loss. You
may award punitive damages as a matter of discretion. At a minimum, where
(libel/slander) per se has been established, a plaintiff should receive an
award of at least nominal damages, usually one dollar, though not
necessarily anything more.
Davidian v. Paparian, 115 Conn. 718,
719 (1932); Craney v. Donovan, 92 Conn. 236 (1917); Lawton v.
Weiner, 91 Conn. App. 698, 720 (2005); DeVito v. Schwartz, 66
Conn. App. 228, 235-37 (2001).
See General Statutes § 52-237,
applicable to libel actions only, for the effect of a finding of malice in
fact or the effect of a retraction made or refused.
When punitive damages may be
awarded, both attorneys may agree to have the court determine the amount of
attorney's fees. In this situation, the jury need only determine if
punitive damages are warranted.

If you only want to wear the finest and most expensive threads, be ready to pay £3.7 million (US$ 5.7 million) for this one of a kind dress by British fashion designer Debbie Wingham. Encrusted with 50 two-carat black diamonds, Wingham's creation debuted at Ukraine Fashion Week in Kiev recently.
The expensive frock sets the world record for the Most Expensive Dress, according to the World Record Academy. Wingham used semitransparent fabric for the dress, which she herself sew, and decorated it with rare black diamonds on the basque and shrug.
On the fringe of the dress are white diamonds framed in gold, painstakingly hand-stitched by the couturier herself. It took six months for Wingham to finish her 29 lbs. creation which she considers as "an anthem for a beautiful woman who loves life."

Rarely politicized or issue-oriented, the races for Ohio Supreme Court Justice have taken on a surprisingly heated twist this year.
In an attempt to upset two of the incumbent Justices, Ohio Sen. Mike Skindell and retired appeals court judge William O'Neill, both Democrats, have leveled harsh criticism of the campaign financing practices of current Justices Terrence O'Donnell and Robert Cupp.
"I say it is fundamentally wrong for a judge to sit on a case involving someone who has just recently contributed to their campaign," said O'Neill.
O'Neill said he specifically takes issues with campaign contributions from Akron-based FirstEnergy Corporation and individuals directly associated with the company. In January, both Cupp's and O'Donnell's campaigns accepted a $6,300 contribution from FirstEnergy before ruling on their case, said O'Neill.
Both Cupp and O'Neill deny any wrongdoing as far as campaign fundraising goes.
"As long as we are going to have judicial elections, there has to be some way to purchase media time to inform the voters about the candidates' qualifications," said Cupp.
Fact Box
Ohio Supreme Court Justice races
Justice Terrance O'Donnell, of Rocky River, and Sen. Mike Skindell, of Lakewood, for the full term commencing Jan. 1, 2013.
Justice Robert Cupp, of Lima, and William O'Neill, of Cleveland, for the full term commencing Jan. 2, 2013.
Justice Yvette Magee Brown, of Columbus, and Sharon Kennedy, of Butler County, for the unexpired term which expires Dec. 31, 2014.
Additionally, those running for positions in the judiciary are required to adhere to certain standards.
"All those running for a judicial office are required to attend a two-hour seminar which lays out the rules," said O'Donnell.
The rules in place are that judges may not personally solicit or accept contribution on behalf of their campaign. Additionally, their campaigns may only raise funds during an election year and there is a cap on how much individuals and companies can contribute. Both O'Donnell and Cupp maintain they have strictly followed those rules.
Skindell said he also takes issue with the current fundraising system, and says it is not an issue of rules being followed, but rather of ethics.
"It just creates an appearance of impropriety and it makes citizens of Ohio lose confidence in the judiciary," said Skindell.
Skindell has pledged that he will recuse himself from any case involving litigants that donated to his campaign. O'Neill on the other hand has not accepted a single dime of campaign contributions.
"If I can succeed in unseating an incumbent without taking a dime in contributions, then it is time to rethink the system," he said.
Cupp, who is running against O'Neill, served on the Ohio Court of Appeals, 3rd Appellate District and was selected presiding judge of the court in 2005. He was also rated "highly recommended" by the Ohio State Bar Association, which recommends candidates based on eight non-political criteria.
O'Donnell began his legal career as a law clerk in the Ohio Supreme Court. He served on the Eighth District Court of Appeals for eight years and was elected to the Ohio Supreme Court in 2003. He is also actively involved in the Professionalism Commission, which sets recent law school graduates up with mentoring lawyers around the state.
Skindell practiced law for 25 years and has served 15 years as part of a legislative body, first as a Lakewood Councilman and then as an state senator. He has also served as the assistant Attorney General in Ohio.
O'Neill has served 10 years on the Eleventh District Court of Appeals and served two terms as presiding judge. He was an assistant Attorney General for 12 years and has sat on The Ohio Supreme Court at the invitation of the chief justice.
In a seemingly less divisive race, Justice Yvette Magee Brown of Columbus, a Democrat and Republican Sharon Kennedy are competing to fill the vacancy left when Maureen O'Conner became chief justice. Brown was appointed to fill the vacancy in 2011. Now both women are hoping to fill the remainder of O'Conner's unexpired term which ends Dec. 31, 2014.
"My unparalleled 27 years of service in the justice system make me an ideal choice," said Kennedy.
Kennedy began her career as a police officer, and later paid her way through law school while clerking for a judge. Currently Kennedy serves as a domestic relations judge in the Butler County Court of Common Pleas. One of her best qualifications to serve as a justice is her philosophy of judicial restraint, said Kennedy.
"I believe in upholding the law, not rewriting it from the bench," she said.
Brown started her legal career working for the Ohio Attorney General's Office. She has served as the chief legal counsel to the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Corrections and as the domestic relations and juvenile court judge for Franklin County. She also helped establish the Center for Child and Family Advocacy before being appointed to O'Conner's vacancy in January 2011. Aside from Cupp, she was the only other candidate to be rated "highly recommended" by the OSBA.
Brown's office did not return requests for comment.

International Autism Conference – Philippines Day 6
Yesterday was the final day of the conference and they saved the best for last (and not just because Autism Speaks was presenting). Dr. Peter Mundy spoke about one of the reasons that children with autism don't spontaneously share joint attention may be because they find objects to be more interesting than the social world. Dr. Laura Schriebman discussed about how behavior is not random. When a child with autism acts out or tantrums, parents and therapists really need to determine what the antecedent was and how to remove or change it. No behavior occurs "for no reason" – there is always something that has triggered it, it's just a matter of determining what it is. Dr. Nirit Bauminger spoke about social interaction among adolescents and ways to facilitate friendship. Her research found that individuals with autism can develop great friendships, and that friendships with their neurotypical peers can be very similar to typical peer friendships.
The last session of the day was Autism Speaks. Considering that it was the last session of a long three-day conference, we were surprised and overjoyed by the turnout for out talk. The room was packed, which told us that there was strong interest among the Filipino community about Autism Speaks and how we can help. The three of us – Andy, Michael and Dana – spoke about the Global Autism Public Health (GAPH) Initiative and our experiences around the world. We each explained a different part of the three-pronged process which aims to enhance research, services and awareness in the country through collaboration. The most important part of GAPH is community support – the families, teachers, therapists and doctors. Autism Speaks role is to act as a catalyst to help the community achieve lasting change for families coping with autism. We then concluded our talk by turning the microphone on the audience and posing the question, "what are the greatest needs of the Filipino autism community?" The response from the attendees was terrific and the development of a successful GAPH program looks very promising.
The closing ceremonies included a beautiful performance by Autism Angels – a trio of young women with autism from Autism Society of Philippines families. They sung beautifully. Their performance was followed by the niece of the Borromeos, our conference organizers, who sang an incredibly touching poem written by Charlie Borromeo for his grandson Julien. Julien was the inspiration for the development of the Autism Hearts Foundation, and the International Autism Conference would never have been possible without their leadership. We concluded the way we began with a hand print ceremony where all the speakers and dignitaries dipped their hands in paint to create a mural as a lasting testimony to the coming together for the cause of autism Philippines.
We just want to take this opportunity to again thank the Autism Hearts Foundation, the Autism Society of the Philippines, The First Gentleman's Foundation, and the UC Davis MIND Institute for their instrumental roles in making the IAC a reality. This conference is a monumental achievement and Autism Speaks is honored to have been a co-sponsor and participating speakers. It has been an educational, touching, and truly unforgettable experience. We thank them for hosting us in their beautiful country and look forward to long-lasting partnerships and friendships.

COLUMBIA, S.C. -- Usually on the day of night games in the Southeastern Conference, visiting teams spend the day wasting time at the hotel, eating pregame meals and preparing for the daunting challenge of winning a league series opener on the road.
Not so on Friday for the 17th-ranked Kentucky baseball team, which faces off with No. 14 South Carolina at Carolina Stadium this weekend.
The Wildcats had a different Friday, spending the morning at Fort Jackson, the United States Army's main production center for Basic Combat Training under the command of Brigadier General Bryan T. Roberts.
UK's club was invited to visit Fort Jackson during the week leading up to the trip to Columbia. UK jumped at the chance to break from its routine and show its student-athletes the training ground for America's heroes.
UK head coach Gary Henderson, assistant coach Keith Vorhoff, support staff and a dozen Wildcats boarded the bus and ventured down the road to Fort Jackson.
"This was a tremendous opportunity to get some of our group out to see a special place at Fort Jackson," Henderson said. "The men and women that serve in our armed forces are heroes and we were honored to have been welcomed on a visit. The chance to see what our soldiers go through on a daily basis to prepare them to fight for our freedom is an eye-opening experience. We can't thank General Roberts, Captain Meyer and the soldiers who were able to visit with us enough; they make us all proud to live in this great nation."
After a chance to meet with General Roberts, the Wildcats were given a personal tour of the recently renovated Fort Jackson museum where they were given a glimpse into the fort's history dating back to its inception in 1917.
Among the Wildcats on the trip was redshirt junior catcher Micheal Thomas. The Elizabethtown, Ky., native is a child of the military just 20 minutes from historic Fort Knox.
"It is cool to see what the men and women who serve our country have to go through to get ready to go to Afghanistan and other places for war," Thomas said. "It was an eye-opening experience for me and the guys, to see what guys our age actually have to go through."
Thomas, who has been a fixture behind the plate in 2013 after spending the previous four years behind standout catchers Marcus Nidiffer, Luke Maile and Michael Williams, was touched by the personal invite to the historic military base.
"It is really cool. Most of my family has been in the army," Thomas said. "Both of my parents were in the Navy so it was a little different for me. I got to see some of the other aspects of what my family has gone through from generation to generation. Being one of the first in my family to not join the military right out of high school was kind of cool to see what they went through, how they lived their lives and what has led them to be the kind of people they are today."
After the tour of the sparkling new museum, the Wildcats ventured across the base to an indoor shooting range, equipped with electronic sensors and screens to replicate battle scenarios. Henderson and the Wildcats were instructed on loading and re-loading their high powered, automatic weapons, before beginning the training scenarios.
"This was a great opportunity to come out and see just how the army life is," UK senior right-hander Walter Wijas said. "I had never had this experience, I had never shot a gun before and it was just a great experience to learn how it is and see how difficult it is for our soldiers to live here and fight for our country."
The Wildcats went through several battle simulations scenarios on the range, while lying in the prone and kneeling positions. The players had to think on their feet in a battle simulation, deciding on the fly about potential threats and civilians.
After the visit to historic Fort Jackson, the Wildcats returned to Columbia with a new perspective thanks to an experience much more meaningful than an afternoon spent in a hotel room.
"To see this just makes me respect our soldiers even more then I already do," Wijas said. "To see what they go through on a daily basis, it makes me feel for the work to do, it really makes us feel grateful that we have the life we do. The chance to play baseball everyday has been given to us by the brave soldiers in our military."

WASHINGTON (November 30, 2012)—U.S. House Speaker John Boehner said Friday President Barack Obama's proposal to avoid the fiscal cliff by boosting revenue by $1.6 trillion over the next decade would deal a "crippling blow" to the economy and would leave the nation's debt problems unresolved.
He said talks between administration officials and congressional leaders have gone "almost nowhere."
Even so, the Ohio Republican said Friday that he wants to continue working with the president to avoid hundreds of billions in tax increases and spending cuts that will begin in January unless negotiators find a way to head them off.
In visits on Thursday to congressional leaders, Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner presented the administration proposal.
Besides tax boosts, it also called for fresh spending to help the jobless, and savings next year from benefit programs.

One team that has certainly gotten better as the season has gone on and actually flown under the radar of many is the Laney Wildcats. We head down to Laney Walker Boulevard for our Operation Football Live player of the week, quarterback Leo Myeres.
This past Friday night against East Laurens, it was Myers letting his feet do the talking. 20 carries for 176 yards and five touchdowns, including a 63 yarder. Myers was first a starter midway through his freshman year. That season he felt a lot of hurt when the Wildcats lost on homecoming. Now a senior, Myers had that fresh in his mind and made sure that didn't happen in his homecoming game.
"My ninth grade year, my first year starting, when I was a freshmen, was homecoming, on varsity." said Leo Myers "We came up short and me looking at the seniors then, in my mind, that image always stayed in my mind."
"Anytime you're a senior and it's your homecoming game, and we had a tremendous crowd out here and I know he wanted to perform well out here for those guys." said coach Lemuel Lackey "But at the same time he remembered the first one and we spoke upon that at the beginning of the game and I'm happy for the guy."
Whether its by design or not, Myers role has expanded as his high school career has gone on. Without wide receiver extraordinaire Rod Hall, Myers has taken even more responsibility this season and has led Laney to a five and one record. For his efforts, we honor him as our OFL player of the week.

Cameron Douglas, the eldest son of actor Michael Douglas, who is currently serving five years for dealing crystal meth may testify against one of his suppliers in an upcoming drug trial.
He is was named as a potential witness at a pre-trail hearing in Manhattan today. Let's hope this will get him out sooner, because there's only one season left of Breaking Bad and we think he would be a natural.

So frustrating that this is dead, it's a useful app with a lot of potential. Pity they didn't release it as open source if they are ceasing development.
Really dead by now: pulled from the App Store, website has disappeared. Hangs on launch on Mountain Lion. Pity, it was best in class when it came to EPS import and export – something Sketch doesn't even try to do (yet) – and had a quite polished functionality otherwise.
Not so dead when it's on the Mac App store now. Quite active I'd say.
This has been regularly updated, & I've been pretty happy with it - a little funky with an imported .eps file but otherwise quite handy.
The learning curve is very easy, and the raster to vector conversion works well for line art.
oh and randomized gradients like particles and steam and speed blurred stripes...Or "gradient from image"... that would be awesome and inspiring. I guess you can work around that somehow, but having it as a tool...
I really like Vector Designer for the things I do with it.
BUT what would really help: artistic line styles. Everything
is so clean when done in VD.
I got this as part of MacHeist a few weeks ago and only started using it for any real work tonight. It crashed after about 20 minutes but seemed pretty good before and after for doing some simple text / curved arrow diagrams. Help is non-existent -- I don't really want to need to watch a video to get assistance with basic functionality.
I definitely would not pay $70 for this, but as part of MacHeist it's a good deal - hopefully this will lead to an expanded user base which will lobby the devs. to make some improvements. Locking in to a proprietary format is really annoying.
I had a similar experience to danishkirel. This software can be a nightmare to use if you want to do something simple like draw a few circles with arrows between them. Groups don't scale at all like you'd expect, box selection is still broken, etc. The worst part is when you give up and move to Inkscape but realize that VectorDesigner doesn't let you export your work to SVG. PDF is the nearest thing to a lossless way out, but it's not ideal.
VectorDesigner is definitely not intuitive, not powerful, and not worth the price they're asking.

Jane Pierce First Spouse Gold Coin
First Lady, 1853–1857
The daughter of a devout Congregationalist minister, Jane Appleton Pierce was born on March 12, 1806, in Hampton, N.H. Her father later moved the family to Brunswick, Maine, when he became president of Bowdoin College, her future alma mater. Bowdoin College was also where Jane met her future husband, Franklin Pierce. They married in 1834, eight years after they first met.
Two years into her husband's presidency, Jane Pierce emerged from an extended period of mourning after the death of her son. She began to attend receptions and dinner parties, and even organized a few of her own. After President Pierce left office, the couple sailed the Caribbean on board the U.S.S. Powhatan, a government ship loaned to them by his successor, President James Buchanan.
Reverse Design
The reverse depicts Mrs. Pierce listening to debates in the visitor's gallery of the Old Senate Chamber in the U.S. Capitol Building. By 1856, she was venturing out in Washington, regularly visiting the U.S. Capitol Building, where she sat in the Senate visitor's gallery listening to heated debates over the issue of slavery.
Obverse: JANE PIERCE, IN GOD WE TRUST, LIBERTY, 2010, 14th and 1853–1857.

About the Book
"McGrath [is] a writer who could help save poetry from academia and get the rest of us reading it again."
—Outside Magazine
From the MacArthur "Genius Grant" and Kingsley Tufts Award winner Campbell McGrath, acclaimed author of Shannon, comes In the Kingdom of the Sea Monkeys, an electric new collection of poetry. Writing in the poetic tradition of Walt Whitman, McGrath captivates with ironic romanticism as he lyrically explores the banality of the everyday—from the decay and transformation of the nation's cities to "Shopping for Pomegranates at Wal-Mart on New Year's Day"—in poems that entreat us to love what endures amid the detritus of American pop culture.
From the MacArthur genius grant and Kingsley Tufts Poetry Award winner Campbell McGrath, an electric new collection of poetry that asks us to love what lasts amid the detritus of American culture
After nearly a decade, In the Kingdom of the Sea Monkeys marks a return for Campbell McGrath to the poetic forms that brought him national acclaim—lyrical meditations on American art and society by turns satirical, tender, and haunted by the merciless work of time. In poems such as "Dick Cheney Speaks to Me in a Dream" and "Shopping for Pomegranates at Wal-Mart on New Year's Day," McGrath explores the intersection of the personal and the public realms of American culture like no other poet at work today. Whether he's documenting the decay and transformation of American cities, eulogizing Allen Ginsberg and Frank O'Hara, or rhapsodizing on the extramortal lifespan of books, McGrath writes poems of dazzling energy, intelligence, humor, and engagement. In the Kingdom of the Sea Monkeys is a collection of dreams, visions, jibes, essays, arguments, and love songs, each of them transformed into poetry by one of our most honored and entertaining poets.

If Prince William and Kate Middleton, the Duchess of Cambridge, have twins, some doctor could end up determining which one gets to be the heir.
Kate has a condition called hyperemesis gravadarum -- also known as acute morning sickness -- which can indicate twins. Plus there have been twins in each of the royal couple's families, but none has been close to the throne.
"It doesn't really change anything," royalty expert and ABC contributor Victoria Arbiter told E! News (her father was a press secretary to Queen Elizabeth II). "All it really means in one fell swoop we would have provided the nation with an heir and a spare. So job done really!"
Not if you're the spare.
E News! said that, according to British law, the firstborn of an heir to the throne gets the big crown, regardless of gender. (The law used to favor boys, but changed last year.)
Here's where it gets fun.
Whichever kid falls out first, wins ... UNLESS Kate needs a cesarean section. If so, her doctor could end up deciding the royal succession by determining which child comes out first. Or the position of the kids at the time of delivery could make the determination. Or any number of other factors could decide this thing.
This would make a good movie.
"Any doctor knows their No. 1 concern is the health and well being of the mother and the baby," Arbiter says. "They wouldn't be picking which baby to pull out first. They are picking the baby that needs to come out first in order to get the other baby out. So, it doesn't change things."
Uh-huh. Until the Masons, CIA and Illuminati get involved.

Rivers and streams in Jackson and Josephine counties will see significant rises following heavy rains predicted for Saturday, Nov. 17, through Wednesday, Nov. 21, National Weather Service officials said.
Water levels for the Rogue River near Gold Ray Dam are expected to rise as much as five feet by Tuesday, Nov. 20.
"It'll be steadily rising from tonight through Tuesday night into Wednesday and then gradually falling back after that," said Shad Keene, meteorologist.
Meteorologists said up to an inch of rain is expected to fall in Medford during that period. West of the Cascades, it will be much wetter, possibly as much as 10 inches by Wednesday in parts of Curry County.
"The primary concern is Coast Range in terms of any flooding potential," Keene said. "(Inland) rivers will be rising, but at this point, it doesn't look like the Rogue River will flood. But people need to stay tuned as the forecast becomes more refined"
The rainfall is the result of three significant weather systems moving into the area, starting Saturday.
"It looks like the strongest system will be Monday night into Tuesday morning," Keene said.

You'll have no doubt heard all about the LandWind X7. It's a highly convincing copy of the Range Rover Evoque but we suspect that the Brits probably wouldn't offer their premium compact SUV in quite this lurid shade of green. While the outside is near-Evoque in looks, the interior isn't – but despite this, Land Rover is understandably not happy. With an asking price of around £14,000 the X7 could well take sales away from the now locally-produced Evoque which costs some £35k more.
The real Range Rover Evoque.
China seems obsessed with the Range Rover Evoque. While the LandWind X7 is a blatant copy of the premium British SUV, Chinese car maker Lifan has taken a more subtle approach with its similarly named X70. Powered by a 148bhp 1.8-litre four-cylinder engine, the X70 has some clear styling references to not only the Evoque's grille shape and headlight detailing, but also more oddly the new Suzuki Vitara.
The Hongqi LS5 proves that the Evoque isn't the only Range Rover product China seems so keen on, but also the big daddy of the range. Sitting alongside the bizarrely-styled L5 limo, the LS5 uses the previous generation Range Rover as its styling model, just stretched a bit to suit more Chinese tastes. There's even a hint of the Jeep Grand Cherokee at the front too. Inside, the passengers are treated to lots of luxury gizmos along with a dashboard that has a passing resemblance to – surprise, surprise – an old Range Rover's. Under the bonnet is a turbocharged 4.0-litre petrol pushing out around 510bhp.
The real Range Rover.
The Eagle is a car designed to show off the country's expertise in producing an electric sports cars, but there's no getting away from which cars the designer has taken his cues from. We believe it's powered by a tiny battery pack that gives just a top speed of around 70mph and a 160-miles range – a sharp contrast to the looks. There's no getting away from how much like the Eagle looks like a Porsche Cayman with a Ferrari F12 nose grafted on. Even the badge is a near copy of the Porsche's iconic golden shield.
The real Porsche Cayman.
Small electric cars were everywhere at Shanghai Auto Show, and the one getting the most attention was this. Clearly mixing the looks of a Smart – and its distinctive Tridion safety cell – the E30 also sports a knock-off Tesla Model S-style large tablet screen in the dashboard. Slightly smaller and wider than the Smart, the E30 has an electric driving range of around 93 miles with a top speed nudging 50mph.

With a name relating to George S. Patton, the famous and highly-respected US Army General who commanded the Seventh Army during World War 2, there's no doubting which country the G Patton is inspired by. The 19-foot long 4x4 mixes a whole number of classic and American off-roaders as well as bespoke Army vehicles. It can come as a seven-seater or with a cinema in the back and two luxury chairs, and it's powered by a 6.8-litre V10 producing 357bhp.

The Sports debuts some exciting new technology for the Chinese domestic car market. The little two-door coupe is not only four-wheel drive but it's also a fuel cell hydrogen and electric vehicle – a car that can run on both forms of propulsion. It can travel 103miles before needing to be filled up with either hydrogen or electricity and has a top speed of 93mph. Tongji says the car is "inspired from insects" – to us it looks like a Fiat Coupe that's been badly, badly modified.
The real Fiat Coupe.
The Hongqi L5 is, in China's eyes, the very finest car the country can produce. Mixing 1960s styling – there's a bit of Ford Thunderbird and Austin Cambridge in its looks we think – with supposed modern day comfort, the L5 clearly looks west. There's even something oddly Rolls-Royce Phantom-like about the 18-foot long car too. It's certainly Rolls-Royce-like in the price – for $800,000 (£536,640) you could have one and half Phantoms for that money. Still, it does have a 397bhp 6.0-litre V12 under the bonnet.

Inside 'Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk' with Khaled Hosseini (WSJ Book Club)
The Wall Street Journal's book club is reading Ben Fountain's novel "Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk," about a group of American soldiers who are on a brief, surreal victory tour before heading back to fight in Iraq. The book was selected by our guest host Khaled Hosseini, author of "The Kite Runner."
This week, we'll discuss how Ben Fountain takes familiar buzz words and rips them out of context, and why that technique is significant to the plot and larger themes of the book.
Read an interview with Mr. Hosseini about why he chose the book. If you're interested in joining the book club, you can sign up here.
Read Chapter One of "Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk."
We'll be discussing the book on Facebook, Twitter and WSJ.com. Join the WSJ book club Facebook group or participate by following the hashtag #WSJbookclub on Twitter.
WSJ: At various times in the book, when people are giving speeches or addressing the soldiers, Ben Fountain breaks the narrative and writes these word clouds, with words like "freedom," "evil," "nina leven," "currj," appearing disjointedly around the page in random order. It's jarring and strips the words of their meaning, and almost resembles visual art more than writing. What function do you think that sort of abstraction of language plays in the larger narrative?
Khaled Hosseini: I think it was really effective. It just illustrated how numb we've become to the war, and there's this whole litany of language and rhetoric about the war that's become so familiar that it almost goes in one ear and out the other. And so you have whole pages where there's not even sentences, there are just words, these buzz words, that have kind of lost their meaning and are just scattered all over the page and rendered phonetically. I think it's about so much of the way the war is sold is through these sound bites that long ago lost their meaning. I dont know what they mean to the troops. You get the sense that what the troops are really fighting for is each other. It's not so much 9/11 or patriotism or anything else in Billy's mind, but it's Shroom, who died, and Shroom who opened his eyes.
This week's discussion question: What does Ben Fountain accomplish by taking jingoistic buzz words out of context and presenting them in random order? How does that technique shape the larger story?

How Was Your Fourth?
I hope you had a great Fourth of July. I know I did. I took a few folks on vacation and we had a blast.
Now back to the grind :-). I tell everybody if you're gonna live like you're rich, you better work like you're broke. Too many folks want to live like they're rich and not work. Ain't nobody got time for that :-).
Kevin Hart had a great weekend. His movie "Let Me Explain" opened this weekend. Congrats Kev.
Hey, you know tomorrow is Tuesday, so not only is it The Have And The Have Nots day on OWN but I also have two DVDs coming out. Finally, the most powerful movie I think I've ever done is on DVD: Temptation. You can get it tomorrow, Tuesday. And also, a new play starring Palmer Williams Jr. and Patrice Lovely (Floyd and Hattie) is out on DVD tomorrow. It's called The Haves And The Have Nots, but it's not like the TV show. It's a comedy stage show. Confused yet? LOL.
I wrote the play long before I did the TV show, but I liked the title and the concept so I used it for the TV show. Ok, you get it? I hope so. I hope you get it and you get it. Can you tell I'm rested? Being so silly…
Anywho, I'm headed back to work, then to the gym… too much BBQ and Henn this weekend… LOL.
See you tomorrow on Twitter for The Haves and The Have Nots.

Webster Bank adapts while also adhering to its core beliefs
WATERBURY -- Jean-Baptiste Alphonse Karr, the French novelist and critic, died in 1890, a good 45 years before Harold Webster Smith founded the First Federal Savings and Loan Association of Waterbury, the small local bank that would eventually become Webster Financial Corp.
Karr is best remembered for the epigram, "The more things change, the more they remain the same," a statement postulating that turbulent change does not really change things at their core.

A's owner Lew Wolff said Monday he has no plans to talk to baseball commissioner Bud Selig about the urgency of the club's stadium situation in the wake of a plumbing issue that flooded the Coliseum's baseball clubhouses with sewage Sunday.
"No, he knows about it," Wolff said by phone from Los Angeles. "Unless he's a plumber, there's not much he can do, either."
Wolff said this was just the latest issue of many the A's have encountered with the Coliseum's aging plumbing, noting, "It's not a rare occasion for us, maybe not this extensively, but it's happened several times."
Steve Vucinich, the A's equipment manager, recalled it happening for the first time in 1975, when the stadium was 9 years old.
"They repaired it then, but it's happened periodically since," Vucinich said. "It didn't happen when we had all those sellouts (last September and October) or in any Raider games, (so) I think something is probably broken."
Wolff said the club was working with the Anschutz Entertainment Group (AEG), the company that manages the facility for the Joint Powers Authority, to resolve the issue before the A's return home June 25 after a six-game trip and that he did not foresee any hang-ups. He said there are no plans to play in another venue if the Coliseum isn't ready.
"I don't think that's a relevant issue at this point," Wolff said. "We've been through this before, so it certainly will be solved by then. It's fortunate, though, that (Sunday) was a getaway day."
Repairs already were under way to replace carpet and find the blockage that caused the flood on the stadium's lower level. The A's and the visiting Seattle Mariners had to shower in the Raiders locker room one level above, and the umpires could not use their dressing room at all.
Wolff said it was the second Coliseum sewage issue he had encountered in the past week. When he tried to have dinner in the Coliseum's West Side Club on Wednesday, food service had to be halted because of a sewage leak in the kitchen.
"It was just a small thing up there, but it's just aggravating," he said.
While the A's relationship with the JPA, representing the city of Oakland and Alameda County, is a bit frayed, the two sides are working together to solve the problem.
"We have no choice, nor do they, but to coordinate with each other," Wolff said. "Whoever can bring the best help at the moment, we do it. So I think the cooperation level is as good as it can be."
As to the larger issue of whether the 47-year-old Coliseum measures up as a viable sports venue, Wolff said he wouldn't use this short-term problem in his long-range push for a new stadium in San Jose.
"What it says basically is that it's a deteriorating facility," he said. "I think everybody is aware of that, even the people who run it. We're sort of all in this together, so it isn't something I would use ... we just have to solve it right now."
Wolff downplayed the notion that this might give him extra ammunition to force the hand of Major League Baseball to act on the A's stadium situation, which has been stalled for several years under a panel appointed by Selig to assess the team's options.
"Even if they said tomorrow, 'OK, you can have a new stadium,' we can't do it in one day," Wolff said. "We're still going to have a plumbing issue."
Wolff issued an apology to the Mariners for being inconvenienced, and Mariners president Chuck Armstrong returned empathy.
"They clearly need a new facility," said Armstrong. "And we hope they get one."
A's general manager Billy Beane was reluctant to talk about the matter since it looks as if the team is politically posturing for a new ballpark.
"Today this is national news, but it happens here all the time," Beane said. "If we say anything, we're told we're being opportunist."
A's manager Bob Melvin and several players reflected on Sunday's strange postgame scene. He said having to share the Raiders' shower room was only a minor inconvenience.
"It smelled some," said first baseman Brandon Moss. "No big deal. It's the kind of thing that could happen anywhere. But it would have been a lot worse if there hadn't been the upstairs showers."
A's vice president Ken Pries said via email that the club would not be issuing any more statements about the sewage issue "other than we believe the situation speaks for itself. We're having the problem repaired today, and we'll replace the carpet in time for the next homestand."
Staff writer John Hickey contributed to this report.

Mark Purdy: This situation reeks, and we're not just talking about the Coliseum's plumbing issues.

Definition of eubacterium in English:
noun (plural eubacteria /ˌjuːbakˈtɪərɪə/)
1A bacterium of a large group typically having simple cells with rigid cell walls and often flagella for movement. The group comprises the 'true' bacteria and cyanobacteria, as distinct from archaea.
- Division (or subkingdom) Eubacteria, kingdom Monera; this group is sometimes taken to exclude non-rigid forms such as spirochaetes and mycoplasmas.
Example sentences
- All protein sequences from 21 complete chloroplast genomes are analyzed in comparison with selected archaea, eubacteria, and eukaryotes.
- Initial sequence annotation has revealed an unusually high number of genes with no obvious similarity to previously described genes from eubacteria and archaea.
- What's more, these origin-of-life researchers suspect that the two major groups of bacteria, known as archaebacteria and eubacteria, originated on two separate occasions about 3.8 billion years ago.
2A bacterium found mainly in the intestines of vertebrates and in the soil.
- Genus Eubacterium; Gram-positive, anaerobic, rod-shaped bacteria.
Example sentences
- Malignancy or another process in the colon can induce sepsis with Clostridium species (especially Clostridium septicum) or arthritis caused by Eubacterium lentum, or it can emerge first as abdominal wall myonecrosis.
- Chlamydiae are Gram-negative eubacteria that replicate strictly inside eukaryotic cells.
eubacterial adjective
- Example sentences
- The eukaryotic nuclear genes are more similar to eubacterial than to archaebacterial homologs.
- In it he stated the principle of 'irreducible complexity' and claimed that, amongst other things, the clotting system and the eubacterial flagella were irreducibly complex, and were not evolvable.
- For the purposes of this blog though, it is enough to point out that while Dembski and Behe characterize the eubacterial flagella, a swimming motility system, as an 'outboard motor', it is also a secretory system.

The Maricopa County Stadium District presents...
Holiday drives to give you the opportunity to give back to your community this holiday season...
In conjunction with the Combined Charitable Campaign, the Maricopa County Stadium District is sponsoring
"Coats-n-Covers", a drive for a collection of gently used COATS and BLANKETS for all ages and
genders for families of homelessness, the working poor and domestic violence. Your donations will be greatly appreciated by
Homeward Bound of Phoenix.
With the economic downturn, more workers are out of jobs, families are losing their homes and shelters'
populations are increasing; yet the temperatures are decreasing.
Homelessness doesn't discriminate by age, gender, size or style so if you were to give a gently used coat
or blanket, you'd make a difference in someone's life. Please help a man, a woman, a child or a family.
Also, the Stadium District is sponsoring "PJs for PC", a drive for a
collection of new pajamas for the teenaged and child patients of Phoenix Children's Hospital.
With the many children that require treatment and attend Phoenix Children's Hospital, there's a significant
lack of pajamas for the patients. Comfortable pajamas often times make the child feel more comfortable while experiencing
strenuous battles and difficult times.
Please help a child... any age, any size, any race... please help us provide some PJs for Phoenix Childrens.

Julie Harris Dies at 87
Broadway star Julie Harris, who over her career won five Tony Awards for best actress in a play, has died at age 87.
Harris passed away of congestive heart failure at her home in West Chatham, Mass., according to the Associated Press.
Her career in theater spanned some 60 years and included performances in such productions as "The Member of the Wedding" (1950), "The Lark" (1955), "The Last of Mrs. Lincoln" (1972), and "The Belle of Amherst" (1976). She won a Grammy for Best Spoken Word Recording for the audio recording of "The Belle of Amherst."
She also appeared in the TV soap "Knots Landing," on the sci-fi series "The Outer Limits" and opposite James Dean in the movie "East of Eden" (1955). She won three primetime Emmys for her work, and was nominated for an Oscar for Best Actress in a Leading Role for the 1952 movie "The Member of the Wedding."
She was given a special lifetime achievement Tony Award in 2002.
In his autobiography, "Elia Kazan: A Life," the director of "East of Eden" wrote of Dean and Harris that "I doubt that Jimmy would ever have got through 'East of Eden' except for an angel on our set. Her name was Julie Harris, and she was goodness itself with Dean, kind and patient and everlastingly sympathetic. She would adjust her performance to whatever the new kid did."
