fuck the bumper sticker I saw on someone's car yesterday that said "Death penalty for cop killers"
So now I'm going to need to start a bumper sticker campaign that says "Death penalty for cops who kill"
I'll only put these on cars with the other bumper sticker though.

"Death penalty for killer cops" is more slickly subtle.

" Judge rules enough evidence to hold officer on murder charge
(CNN) -- A California judge ruled Thursday that enough evidence exists to hold over former transit police officer Johannes Mehserle on a first-degree murder charge in the shooting death of a 22-year-old man at an Oakland, California, transit station on New Year's Day.
Video shows Johannes Mehserle shoot Oscar Grant III in the back as another officer knelt on him.
Video shows Johannes Mehserle shoot Oscar Grant III in the back as another officer knelt on him.
The ruling means the case will go forward in court.
Bob Connor, an investigator with the Alameda County District Attorney's office, said a gag order in place prevented release of further information. Mehserle, 27, will next appear in court on June 18.
The shooting drew national attention after grainy cell phone videos of the incident taken by a bystander began circulating on the Internet and news shows, and prompted large and violent demonstrations.
The video showed Mehserle pulling his gun and fatally shooting Oscar Grant III, 22, in the back as another officer kneeled on the unarmed Grant. Mehserle may have intended to draw and fire his Taser rather than his gun, according to a court filing by his attorney.
Bay Area Rapid Transit police were called to Oakland's Fruitvale station January 1 after passengers complained about fights on a train. Officers pulled several men, including Grant, off the train when it arrived at Fruitvale.
Mehserle resigned his position a few days after the incident and was later arrested in Nevada. Mehserle, who has pleaded not guilty, was released on a $3 million bond in February, prompting a fresh round of demonstrations.
Grant's family has filed a $50 million wrongful death lawsuit against the officers involved in the incident."

Reviving the thread because the trial is coming to a close.
No black people were on the jury.
A riot is anticipated by the cops- I'm sure they'd love the chance to put down a rebellion. They trained for it over the week in Oakland.
The people are angry, and I'm feeling like my romanticized ideals of tearing the city to shreds aren't so appealing right now.
If a riot is what it takes to get some justice, and if any lasting change comes out of it, then fine.
But insurrections should have an element of surprise, and the cops are already prepared and probably want nothing more than to have a chance to play tough guy.
Then I came across this blog today, which is highly suspicious and reads like a classic agent provocateur move.
Um, yeah, some anonymous youtube person sends a link about vandalism that reads "Mehserle Must Die" - that message is totally inconsistent with both the for oscar grant campaign, and there's no investigation of the source of the grafitti or of the youtube message? Bullshit.

1. Tango: 22:37
I haven't danced tango in a year. Hadn't realized how much I'd missed it until today, when I decided to show up at the loonie tango milonga of the U of T Argentine Tango Club. I dug my shoes out of a bin and threw them in a bag, then headed to the party in jeans and a T-shirt. No wearing a flowy skirt in this weather!
The people I used to dance with have improved so much. I'm envious! What have I been doing with my life? Hmph. I danced with a few new faces as well, and I managed to follow decently.
Love it. Will definitely drop in for at least one class. I wonder if I can drag anyone along, actually.
Oh goodness I can feel my feet... And my shoulders, too, but that's krav's fault (and another story).
Two days of lots of activity and exercise. I definitely deserve some downtime for blogging and doing chores...
2. Adhesion: 22:44
I either can't or don't want to move. I'm not inclined to figure out which right now. I think chores will have to wait until tomorrow or Wednesday.
I should make a practice of scheduling in days with ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. And yeah, chores count as something...

3. Krav maga: 23:14
One of the things my mom occasionally reminds me about is the need for self-defense classes. Yes, even in Toronto. Not only is it important, but it'd also be a good workout and confidence-booster. Finding a self-defense class was on my list of goals for 2007.
I attended a free Krav Maga seminar last Sunday on Wayne's recommendation. It's a form of self-defense developed for the Israeli army. Quite a workout, too. I have a small bruise and my shoulders are sore, but if I keep at it, maybe I'll get better at dealing with things like that. It was fun, although I kept apologizing after hitting my partner.
I'll settle into my life here and get that sorted out first, but if there are more free (or inexpensive) seminars, or self-defense seminars particularly for women, I might try to figure out how to fit those into my schedule and budget. =)
Worth doing again.
4. Walking science museum: 23:24
Wayne's daughter was with him last week, and I enjoyed spending time with both of them. It was a great way for me to explore all these sides of me, too--artistic, musical, linguistic, mathematical, culinary, even physical... =) We played board games and card games, and in between, I kept an eye out for interesting things to share.
I'm a walking science centre! I *love* capturing a teachable moment, provoking wonder, or even just trying to figure out how to make an abstract concept real for her. For example, last night, I couldn't resist the temptation to try and teach her more about fractions. Sixteen oranges divided in various ways... =)
Anyway, that was tons of fun. Definitely among the best ways to spend my evenings. =)
Random Emacs symbol: help-make-xrefs - Command: Parse and hyperlink documentation cross-references in the given BUFFER.
5. Nightmares: 23:31
I'm still a little sore from krav maga last Sunday. I don't think it's just the strain, although I'll stretch more and get used to the pain of attacking or defending. I had a hard time sleeping last night, too. A series of nightmares...
After learning a tiny fraction about defense against a knife, of course my mind goes and constructs a knife attacker to see how that might work. In my dream, I felt the fight-or-flight response (and definitely leaned toward flight!). The strange thing was that it didn't stop there... Rather, I ended up flashing back to the last time I felt a really strong fight-or-flight response, which had nothing to do with knives and everything to do with overhearing my name in conversation. That really sucked; I just couldn't stop my heart from racing.
And then I ended up dreaming someone I know was really really sad, and I just couldn't figure out how to explain things to cheer her up, and I just felt terrible.
So yeah, not quite restful sleep for me yesterday. Strange, isn't it? A knife grabs attention, but it's worse to wake up and realizing that your phantasms are less obvious and more real.

CORPUS CHRISTI – The Texas A&M - Corpus Christi men's tennis team will open the season this weekend in the three-day Ned and Tina Jacobs Lobo Tennis Winter Kickoff in Albuquerque, N.M. The Islanders will take on Arizona, UC Irvine and host New Mexico twice throughout the weekend starting on Friday, Jan. 17 at the Linda Estes Tennis Center.
The Islanders will play two matches a day in the new shortened college format where singles is played first and the match stops when the team reaches four points. In the case of a 3-3 tie, the match will be determined by the winner who takes the best two of three 10-point tiebreakers in doubles play.
"This is a great event and a very well put together event," Director of Tennis Steve Moore said. "These are four teams that are always in the national rankings playing each other, so the new college format is a very smart idea. I'm a big believer that all boats rise for college tennis with a format that brings more fans and makes it more television friendly. It will be a little new for everyone, so all of the teams are really in the same boat. The matches will be a little shorter and feature more sudden deaths, which makes it more fan friendly.
"When New Mexico's Head Coach Alan Dils called me to explain the format I knew right away it was a great idea. Some people are worried that the shortened format will give us less tennis, but this is a classic example of how we will actually get more tennis and more chances to play nationally ranked teams. Our ITA system ranking is based on wins against nationally ranked teams, so this is a very beneficial format for everyone."
The No. 67-ranked Islanders will have No. 1 player and the reigning Southland Conference Player of the Year Peter Nagy back in the singles lineup. Nagy, last season's First Team All-Southland selection for both singles and doubles, completed his spring with a 16-4 singles record, with two of his four losses coming to ranked opponents. He finished with a perfect 5-0 record in Southland Conference matches at the No. 1 singles position, never losing a set throughout league play.
As a sophomore, Nagy became the first Islander to take part in the NCAA Men's Singles Championships in program history after winning the conference championship at No. 1 singles and being ranked in the top 125 singles players in the nation.
Joining Nagy will be senior Matt Westmoreland, who tallied a 14-9 record last season, including a 6-0 Southland Conference mark. Pietro Jordao, Ricardo Mayagoitia, Javier Pujol and Guillaume Rauseo also return to the Islanders' lineup. Mayagoitia posted a 4-2 singles record in the fall after compiling a 16-3 singles record last season, including a 10-1 mark in the No. 4 spot.
Making their spring collegiate debuts will be freshmen Paul Cook and Philip Kuehnen. Cook put together a solid performance in the fall with a 3-1 singles record. The Petts Wood, England native fell to fellow freshman Kevin Bettendroffer in the semifinals of the Marco & Co. Catering Islanders Open. The Islanders will be without the Islanders Open champion, Bettendroffer, who will remain in Corpus Christi to finish a winter semester class.
The Islanders will open play on Friday at 9 a.m. MST against Pac-12 Arizona, in a rematch of the 2009 NCAA Championships. The Wildcats return nine players from a team that finished 10-14 a year ago.
"We play Arizona in our first match," Moore said. "They are definitely a team we have a lot of respect for. A team that beat us in the 2009 NCAA Championships, so we know that we will have to bring our best and most focused mindset to the match."
Following the first match, the Islanders will take on No. 72-ranked New Mexico at 7:30 p.m. MST. Last season, the Islanders dropped a 7-0 decision to New Mexico in the second match of the season. The Lobos have one senior and three juniors to go along with seven underclassmen. Last season, New Mexico compiled a 14-13 record.
On Saturday, the Islanders will rematch the Lobos at 12:30 p.m. MST before taking on UC Irvine at 4 p.m. MST. The Anteaters are coming off its 14th Big West regular-season title after registering a 9-17 record.
The Islanders will wrap play on Sunday against UC Irvine at 9 a.m. MST and will rematch the Wildcats at 4 p.m. MST.
A&M - Corpus Christi is coming off their sixth straight conference regular-season championship and their seventh consecutive year of reaching the top 65 in the ITA national rankings. Last season the Islanders returned to the NCAA Championships for the fourth time in the last six years.
"We're excited about what this upcoming year can hold and we feel this team has a great potential if we make the choice to outwork people and stick together as a true team," Moore added.
The men's team will remain on the road to face New Mexico State and Utah State in Las Cruces, N.M. on Jan. 23 and Jan. 24, respectively.

Hi. After endless searching I am unable to find much information on what I am trying to accomplish, surprisingly. There is some info, but it is mostly outdated.
I am looking for the correct configuration to stream the highest quality audio available using PMS 1.70.1. I also want to pass that audio stream through my PS3 to be decoded by my receiver. My PS3 (slim) is connected to my receiver via HDMI, and HDMI from the receiver to the TV. I have a receiver that can decode DTS HD and DolbyTrueHD. I have set my PS3 to use Bitstream for the Audio Output Format (HDMI) as I have read that the slim models can bitstream advanced audio streams over HDMI to my receiver. I do not want my PS3 to decode, only my receiver.
Where my confusion comes in is with PMS an the Audio Settings. How should my "Common Transcode Settings" be configured to pass DTS HD and DolbyTrueHD as well as lossy audio to my receiver? Is there something else that needs to be configured that I may be missing?
I am looking for the exact settings, and any additional configuration I would need to accomplish this. Namely the "Use LPCM for audio", "Keep AC-3 track", "Keep DTS Track", and "Remux DVD ISO Video Track" settings.
Any help would be much appreciated!!

News 12 at 6 o'clock / Monday, Nov. 12, 2012
AIKEN COUNTY, S.C. -- A new Aiken County government complex is quickly taking shape off University Parkway in Aiken County.
However, there's a slight problem. The county wants city water, which traditionally means the county will have to annex into city limits and meet stricter city ordinances.
"The city's code is more stringent than the county's," said Aiken County Administrator Clay Killian.
In the last meeting, the City of Aiken, including Mayor Fred Cavanaugh, wasn't satisfied and sent the county architect back to the drawing board to redraw plans, which include a bigger buffer of trees between the construction and houses behind the site, particularly those on Lincoln Avenue.
"At maturity, it'll be a fairly thick, dense buffer, but it'll take a few years to get there," said Killian of the revised buffer plan.
"Well, what I've seen is actually on paper, and what transfers from the paper to reality on the ground could be very different, and it will be a long time before it gets there," said Rosemary English, chair of the school board and also a neighbor of the construction site.
English is still concerned. She says the county could and should have left trees standing for a buffer instead of clear-cutting the site completely.
"Everything would look much nicer, and they wouldn't be going through the additional money of having to replace the buffer," she told News 12 in her backyard, which now overlooks the construction site at the bottom of what seems to be a canyon.
She and her neighbors are also concerned about traffic increases, light pollution and the fact they weren't consulted before the county started building behind their homes.
"We believe we'll be a good fit once we get everything built. Right now, it's an industrial site being built, but it'll be an office building when it's open," Killian said.
Killian says if the Aiken City Council does not approve the plan in its meeting Monday night, the timeline of the project won't be ultimately affected, but it could end up costing taxpayers a little more.

Myelodysplastic/Myeloproliferative Syndromes
|Study ID
|Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) Myelodysplastic Syndrome (MDS)
|Phase II
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as clofarabine and cytarabine, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving the drugs in different doses may kill more cancer cells. Colony stimulating factors, such as G-CSF, may increase the number of immune cells found in bone marrow or peripheral blood and may help the immune system recover from the side effects of chemotherapy. Giving clofarabine and cytarabine together with G-CSF may kill more cancer cells.
PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well giving clofarabine and cytarabine together with G-CSF works in treating patients with newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia or advanced myelodysplastic syndrome.
|Ages Eligible for Study:
|18 Years to 59 Years

Witnesses rushed to pull a driver to safety after her sport-utility vehicle was involved in a rollover crash on Monday afternoon.
Jackson police said a white car was pulling out of a driveway around 3 p.m. when it T-boned a red SUV, causing the SUV to flip three times. Authorities said witnesses bashed out the windshield of the vehicle to pull the driver to safety.
An American Medical Response ambulance took the driver to the hospital, although witnesses said she only appeared to have scratches on her hand.
Ridgeland police and fire officers went to the scene.

Local colleges increase tuition to cope with cuts
Published: Saturday, March 2, 2013 at 6:19 p.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, March 2, 2013 at 6:19 p.m.
Nicholls State University and Fletcher Technical Community College students will see their tuition increase again next school year as schools struggle with more potential budget cuts.
For the fifth year in a row, tuition at the schools, like most colleges and universities across the state, will jump by 10 percent. The increases are part of Gov. Bobby Jindal's proposed budget for the next fiscal year.
The state is facing a budget deficit of more than $1 billion. As part of a plan to fill that gap, Jindal's administration will again cut college budgets, while allowing the universities to make up the lost money by increasing prices.
Tuition at Nicholls will likely jump by $275 to a little more than $3,000 a semester, said Larry Howell, NSU executive vice president.
Tuition at Fletcher will likely increase by $140 a semester to $1,565, said Chancellor Travis Lavigne.
Neither of those increases is official yet — both must be approved by the management boards that oversee each school. But those increases are allowed under the LA GRAD Act, a 2010 law that allows universities to raise tuition by 10 percent if they meet certain performance targets, like growing graduation rates.
LA GRAD was originally designed to allow schools to gradually raise tuition to levels closer to the southern regional average. But, in year after year of budget cuts, local school officials say the tuition hikes have become fiscal life preservers to stave off catastrophic cuts.
"I think it's certainly already a problem for students that costs are going up, and we're very concerned about it," Lavigne said. "But the reality is that we have to replace the revenues we're losing from the state. It's unfortunate, and I regret it, but it's necessary."
Howell also pointed out that tuition in Louisiana is still much lower than the southern average — the price of Nicholls, for example, is at about 80 percent of what other universities in the region cost.
Both administrators said it's too early in the budgeting process to figure out exactly what their budgets are going to look like for the coming school year. Both have questions about exactly what Jindal's proposed budget means for them, and Jindal's budget itself will be modified by the Legislature.
But both Howell and Lavigne said there are plenty of potential pitfalls for college budgets on the way.
"The budget assumes that certain sales will go through and that the state will get certain savings. There are all kinds of contingencies." Howell said. "Frankly, we don't know what our budget's going to look like yet, but we're certainly watching it intently."

Mary Phillips

this wiki
this wiki
Dr. Mary Phillips is, in 1992, the co-host of the I Say/You Say program on WCTR and the wife of Peyton Phillips, the show's other host.
Mary is a staunch Conservative, so Conservative that she occasionally preaches Fascism. She's cheated on her husband with at least one person, the show's producer, whether it be alone with him or in a threesome with her husband. Mary often victimizes and verbally abuses her husband, a staunch Liberal, live on air because of his political views, which almost always differ from hers. At the end of one episode of I Say/You Say, she tells the listeners to support a Totalitarian state, implying that she is, indeed, Fascist.
- She may be named after the actress Mary Phillips.

SOCHI, Russia -- Four-time Olympian Julie Chu will carry the U.S. flag at the closing ceremony of the Sochi Games.
The U.S. Olympic Committee made the announcement Friday, a day after Chu earned a silver medal with the U.S. women's hockey team. It was her fourth Olympic medal -- she has three silvers and a bronze.
Chu says she is "completely humbled and kind of in shock" to be chosen.
A Harvard graduate, Chu has been with Team USA since the 2002 Winter Games in Salt Lake City.
The Americans lost 3-2 in overtime to Canada in the gold medal game Thursday night.

Last night was overcast and cloudy and there was some light rain, but it didn't stop fans from piling into the Saban Theatre in Beverly Hills to see the producers and stars of Fox's The Mindy Project talk about the show.
The red carpet wasn't dampened by the rain at all. The stars came in upbeat and laughed the whole time. Each of the actors has a great sense of humor, as one would imagine, and they were a blast to hang out with before the panel started. The most animated and hilarious was Ike Barinholtz, who may not be as weird as his character Morgan in person, but is just as funny.
Barinholtz, also a writer on the show, answered off the wall questions about his character's wackiness and questions about the upcoming episodes with equal aplomb. Beth Grant, who plays Shirley, a vastly under-qualified nurse, was excited to announce that she was picked up as a series regular even after character was fired from Dr. Lahiri's (Mindy Kaling) private obstetrics practice. Grant told me that she likes to reveal the mystery of her character each week and is surprised with each new script. We'll soon find out that she has quite the colorful past.The panel was in good spirits, in part, because it was just recently announced that the show has been picked up for a second season. Executive Producers Matt Warburton and Kaling discussed how the show evolved into a more of an ensemble and what kind of guest stars they look forward to having in the future. Danny McBride, Barinholtz's Eastbound and Down co-star, is high on the list.Many of the fans in the audience were women and the ones that got a chance to speak all mentioned how inspiring it was to see Kaling executive producing and starring in her own prime time series. Kaling was thankful, but demurred when asked if she had any sort of 'master plan' to take over television. She said she was simply a nerdy kid who worked hard and didn't party. When asked about her long hours working in various capacities on the show her answer was perfect, "When you're literally living your dream, you don't wanna sleep."Special thanks to Samsung Smart TV for sponsoring my coverage of PaleyFest 2013.

Intellectual Property Protection and India
How Strong Intellectual Property Protection Can Help India
02.06.14 | By Mark Grayson
A new study examines the economic impact of India's current approach to intellectual property rights as it affects pharmaceutical products and Foreign Direct Investment (FDI). The study from Sonecon by Robert Shapiro and Aparna Mathur titled "How India Can Attract More Foreign Direct Invest Investment, Create Jobs, and Increase GDP: The Benefits of Respecting the Intellectual Property Rights of Foreign Pharmaceutical Producers" establishes that inflows of FDI vitally affect the pace of development and growth in India's pharmaceutical industry and across much of the nation's economy.
The authors state that India is fully capable of making major improvements in its IP rights and enforcement, which in turn would produce huge benefits for India. "By strengthening its IP regime. . . India could well become a global center for innovative drug development and production, increase the life expectancy of its people, expand output and employment and achieve considerable cost savings in medical care and government subsidies. "
The conclusions give hope that India will realize its potential and become a nation that values innovation while helping its people. You can find this study at Sonecon's website.

Spot checks on local bike shops, distributors, and industry insiders confirms yes there is indeed a bike boom. There's also a subsequent increase in bike theft. If you're not as lucky as the owner of the Silver Eagle (whose bike was lost and found), what do you do to protect your bike?
For my road/urban bikes, I treat them like a suitcase handcuffed to my wrist. They don't leave my side. For Bettie, it would take a very determined crackhead to walk off with her. I use a u-lock through the front wheel and a cable lock from the frame to a nearby solid object.
What do you do to lock up your bike?
This weekend at the Des Moines Criterium in Seattle, we'll have Bettie and some Bike Blenders. We're mixing up smoothies, selling them, and donating the process to the Des Moines Area Food Bank. Des Moines is the first Mixer event and we'll see how it goes. Later in the Fall, we've have another Mobile Social (our urban ride parties) with the Bike Blenders.
Mixer sponsors include

- The Wayne County Builders Association announced that it has launched a new webpage, dedicated to providing information on the draft guidance document proposed by the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) for on-lot sewage systems in high quality (HQ) and exceptional value (EV) watersheds, at http://www.waynecountybuilders.com/Clean-Water/. Virtually all of Wayne, Pike, Monroe, and much of Carbon counties will be impacted by these proposed DEP policy changes.
Approval of this policy will lead to significant restrictions on the use of individuals' private property, and it will create unnecessary and excessive costs, such as for the use of septic systems with nitrate removal technology.
Many pre-existing properties will be rendered non-buildable as a result. Also, 150-feet forested buffers for ponds, lakes, streams and even intermittent streams already mandated for watersheds in Northeast PA by the state's Chapter 102 regulations, will result in a loss of use of large portions of existing and future lots which have any surface water.
"We are very eager for the public to view our new webpage, which offers the opportunity to learn in detail how this proposed policy affects almost every piece of land, business and homeowner in Northeastern PA.
"The purpose of this site is to provide resources and information related to planning on-lot sewage systems in special protection watersheds," said John R. Bea, President. "This is an urgent issue in which the public needs to act immediately if they disagree with this proposed policy."
Officials are asking the public to view this webpage at www.waynecountybuilders.com and click on the link "Responsible Citizens for Clean Water" to learn about this new proposed guidance document and what can be done to prevent this policy from being enacted in its current form.
Comments are being accepted by DEP through April 30. For more information and for assistance on how to voice your concerns, contact the Wayne County Builders Association at 226-4941.

I'm determined not to sound whiny – especially after Hubby's comment about some of my Dilemma Diary posts – but really, working part-time is both a blessing and a curse. It's great when your home life is going swimmingly and you don't have deadlines falling all around you, but quite the opposite when you have sick kids, a sick nanny, a sick husband work deadlines right and left.
As a rule, childcare is short on the days you're supposed to be home and not working (but need to be) and the days you've designated for the office are cut short by this or that from the home front. As a mom, you're the one (at least I am) who has to leave later in the morning and take care of the kids before work and the one who has to come home early to let the nanny go and take care of the kids before bed.
Plus, if you're as lucky as I am to have a daughter who loves you so much that she won't let her Daddy put her to bed on nights you want a break (read with sarcasm), you can't log on to continue your work until 9 p.m. And if you do manage to do so, you'll be in bed at midnight, only to be woken up periodically by screaming children, and then struggle to fall asleep for an hour and wake up at some obscene hour to start the same day over again. Forget just being more tired than the previous day (when you thought you couldn't possibly get more tired) – try being infinitely more in the hole at work and infinitely worse at the doomed, desperate scramble to get out.
Yes, in the scheme of life, it ain't so bad. I have two healthy kids, a partner, a home, a job with a nice paycheck. I have the luxury of grumbling, as it were. But I make no claims to comparing myself to someone in actual dire straits. I'm comparing myself to the imagined Wonder Mom who I admittedly foolishly think exists: she is never tired, never burdened by work, financial or child-related woes, and lives a peaceful, unblemished existence . . . somewhere in an alternate universe, of course.
So, today's verdict: Forget the decision whether to be a SAHM (Stay at Home Mom) or a working mom. I've decided. I want to be a Stay at Home (SAH). You know, a SAHM, but without the responsibilities of having children . . .
(blissful daydreaming for six uninterrupted minutes, aka .1)
. . . now back to work before it's time to go home and pick up the kids.
(That was a little whiny, wasn't it?).

For the Rousseau dinner service, Bracquemond etched a large number of plant, bird and animal designs assembled onto twenty-eight plates. These plates were then printed and transferred onto paper. The different designs were cut out and applied directly to the earthenware.
The decoration was then coloured by workers at the pottery according to instructions provided by Bracquemond. The patterns of decoration mostly take the form of groups of three: a main subject and two associated smaller subjects.
The shape of the dish, attributed to the designer Eugène Rousseau, is more traditional and is inspired by Rococo patterns copied from 18th century porcelain. The sides of the dish have moulded ornamentation and blue painted decoration.
The originality of this dinner service, which combines 18th century shapes with Japanese-inspired decoration, immediately attracted attention. In his account of the International Exhibition held in London in 1871, Mallarmé paid tribute to "this admirable and unique dinner service decorated by Bracquemond with Japanese designs borrowed from the barnyard and fishing lakes, the most beautiful recent china that I have had occasion to see".

More than 170 law enforcement officers in the United States have died after being struck by motor vehicles since 1999. Thousands have been injured.
In an effort to make roadways safer for everyone, the Alabama Department of Public Safety is partnering with Florida and Georgia throughout the month of February to promote what is known as the 'move over' law.
This law requires motorists to move over one lane when authorized emergency-responder vehicles, including police, fire and EMS vehicles and tow trucks, are stopped or parked roadside with emergency signals activated.
"To do our jobs, we must work in close proximity to traffic. The 'move over' law provides all first responders and emergency workers the clearance they need to work safely," said Col. Hugh B. McCall, director of the Department of Public Safety.
McCall says the Department of Public Safety is teaming up with the Florida Highway Patrol and Georgia State Patrol to draw attention to this law. During the month long effort, Alabama state troopers and law enforcement officers in Florida and Georgia will work together to educate motorists.
When moving over is unsafe or not possible, such as on two-lane roadways, the law requires motorists to slow to at least 15 mph below the posted speed limit.
In areas where the posted speed limit is 20 mph or less, motorists must slow to 10 mph. Citations for violation of the 'move-over' law carry a fine of up to $25 for first offense, with increasing fines for second and subsequent offenses.
Alabama first enacted 'move-over' regulations in 2006 as part of Act 2006-546, and the majority of states have adopted versions of the law.

Flu prevention a top priority in Tuscaloosa area
Few testing positive so far; vaccines are now widely available
Published: Saturday, October 12, 2013 at 3:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, October 11, 2013 at 11:26 p.m.
The peak flu season has not yet hit Alabama — but it is likely to in the next couple of months, according to the Alabama Department of Public Health.
Flu shot clinics
The Tuscaloosa County Health Department will host a "drive-through" seasonal flu vaccination clinic outside the Belk Activity Center from 7 a.m.-6 p.m. Oct. 23. No appointment needed. In case of inclement weather, the clinic will be held inside the Belk Center. The cost is $5 or free for those with Medicaid, Medicare or Blue Advantage. Wear short sleeves.
The University of Alabama will distribute free flu shots to faculty, staff and students at several locations until Oct. 25. For locations, go to wellness.ua.edu. Flu shots will also administered through the Student Health Center , the Faculty Health Clinic and the University Medical Center.
Because it takes about six weeks for the flu vaccine to reach its full effectiveness, it's important that people get vaccinated against the flu now, said Dr. Jim McVay, director of health promotion and chronic disease for the health department. It takes about two weeks after receiving a flu shot for the body to start building up antibodies, he said.
"Usually, flu season runs December to February with January and February the peak months," McVay said. "Occasionally, there are cases in the summer, but what we are concerned about is widespread flu, which we haven't seen yet."
DCH Regional Medical Center has tested three dozen patients a week recently who were showing flulike symptoms, but so far no one has tested positive for the flu, said Brad Fisher, DCH spokesman.
Dr. Philip Bobo at the Emergi-Care clinic in Tuscaloosa has tested patients for the flu but he said he has only seen one positive result.
"I haven't seen anything to me that looks like the flu, although people have reported that they've had it," Bobo said.
The state health department strongly recommends that anyone 6 months or older be vaccinated against the flu. Because the effectiveness wears off between six and 10 months after you receive the shot, it's important to get one every year, McVay said.
While the state health department recommends everyone get a flu shot, it's very important for the following:
- The very young, specifically 6 months to 5 years old
- People who are 65 or older
- People with chronic disorders
- Pregnant women
- Children younger than 18 on chronic aspirin therapy
- Residents of nursing homes and long-term care facilities
- People whose immune systems are suppressed
- Health-care workers
- Caregivers of young children or the elderly
- People who are morbidly obese
Flu shots are now available at doctors' offices, county health clinics and pharmacies.
The state shipped 47,600 vaccinations to county health departments around the state for the "mass flu clinics," said Tracey England of the state health department's immunization division. An additional 10,000 of the "high dose" flu vaccines were shipped for people 65 and older.
The Tuscaloosa County Health Department will host a "drive-through" seasonal flu vaccination clinic on Oct. 23 from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. at the Belk Activity Center.
Flu shots are also available at the University of Alabama to faculty, staff and students. Since Sept. 4, UA has administered 5,600 flu shots, said Leslie Zganjar, director of communications for the College of Community Health Sciences. UA ordered 10,000 vaccines to distribute this year, up from 8,000 last year, she said.
"We've tried to make it as convenient and easy as possible, with different locations on campus, and free (of charge)," Zganjar said. "You don't even have to have UA insurance to get it."
UA's campaign has offered free flu vaccines in tents set up on the Quad and in various buildings around campus. As of Friday, the campaign started offering flu shots at many of the dorms on campus.
"It's a preventative effort that the university administration has made a priority," Zganjar said.
Many businesses are also offering the flu shot to employees, and people are coming into Emergi-Care seeking the vaccine, Bobo said.
"We give flu shots daily," Bobo said, adding that the sooner people get it, the better coverage they will have. "We encourage everyone to get a flu shot by (Tuesday) Oct. 15."
This year's most common flu vaccine, a "trivalent", includes two strands of type A flu and one of type B, McVay said. Although the shot is never a guarantee you won't get the flu, it's still better to get the shot and have at least some protection, he added.

The obvious gift for any beer lover is a selection of special brews. But if you'd prefer a gift not prone to breaking or leakage, 2012 has been another banner year for books about beer. Here are a few of my favorites.
Written by my friends Stephen Beaumont and Tim Webb, who circled the globe putting this tome together, "The World Atlas of Beer" (Sterling Epicure, $30, 256 pages) is a worthy successor to the late Michael Jackson's "New World Guide to Beer." Covering the entire panoply of beer across six continents (there are no breweries in Antarctica) is a herculean task, but the book accomplishes it elegantly. The book, appointed with detailed maps, beautiful photographs, tasting notes and an impressive range of information, is a great choice for both beginners and seasoned beer geeks.
If you're as fascinated by the big breweries as I am, you'll want to pore over William Knoedelseder's "Bitter Brew: The Rise and Fall of Anheuser-Busch and America's Kings of Beer" (HarperBusiness, $27.99, 416 pages). It's an engaging history of the St. Louis family dynasty from its 19th century beginnings to the very end, when InBev bought the brewery in 2008.
The hottest beer style right now is hoppy India Pale Ale and its offshoots, such as Black IPAs and Double or Imperial IPAs. Mitch Steele, the brewmaster at Stone Brewing in San Diego, has written the definitive account of the style in "IPA: Brewing Techniques, Recipes and the Evolution of India Pale Ale" (Brewers, $24.95, 350 pages). The book includes techniques and recipes along with the history and evolution of today's most popular beer. It's a must read for any true hophead.
Finally, there are two local books that belong on any Bay Area beer lover's shelf. The first is "Lagunitas: The Story" (Charles Pinot, $17.95, 238 pages), a lively account of the Petaluma brewery's history written by founder Tony Magee, and sardonically subtitled "So, You Want to Start a Brewery?" If you're familiar with the iconic stories on all of Lagunitas' beer labels -- also written by Magee -- that should give you an idea of what's in store.
The other local treasure is "Teachings From the Tap" (Beer Trekker Press, $16, 442 pages), by another friend, Merideth Canham-Nelson, who traveled the world with her husband, Chris "The Beer Geek" Nelson, to visit breweries and drink beer. Having already visited more than 700 breweries, the pair embarked on yearlong trip in 2008 with an itinerary that included a major beer destination each month, and many smaller ones in between. The result, subtitled "Life Lessons From Our Year in Beer," is her account of that journey. Don't be surprised if I make a few cameos throughout her tales.
There's no better way to celebrate the holidays than sitting down to enjoy a good read, with a terrific beer as your companion. Happy holidays!

The Supreme Court will hear oral arguments on Wednesday in a case that will decide if Arizona went too far with its 2010 immigration law. The law requires police officers to check the immigration status of people they stop and to make warrantless arrests if they believe those people are deportable.
Here is a look at some of the stakeholders in that case:

What are the common causes for why the back of your feet (like 1 and 1/2 inches above your heel) would bleed after jogging (not running) like a mile or half a mile or something?
I'm guessing this is a common problem, so what would be the most common causes? Had this shoe for a while. Shouldn't be the shoe....
*Shoe: I checked the back (of the inside) of the shoe and it seemed flat. Had this shoe for a while. Shouldn't be the shoe....
*Cold: It was cold outside, but really? I don't think that would cause that
*Socks??? They're just regular socks. Shouldn't be a problem.
help please
No, it's not a particularly common problem in my experience. You don't say how much it's bleeding or if there is any pain. Is it one foot or both? I have to assume that something is rubbing, which generally implicates the shoe. You say you've had the shoes "...for a while." How Long? They might be getting worn. There should be a plastic "counter" that runs around and supports the fabric of the heel. Check if the top of that is the height where the bleeding occurs. Make sure your shoes are sized properly, usually one-half to a full size bigger than your street shoe, or a thumb-nail width between the longest toe and the front of the shoe.
I've not heard of this problem.
I'm sorry that I cannot help
Likely just the shoe. Likely doesn't fit perfectly. I'm just gonna go look for the best shoe that fits perfectly so I won't have this problem ever again. I'll like to clarify that it was bleeding a little. It was really nothing. I didn't say that I didn't think it wasn't the shoe or sock or whatever. I said it shouldn't be doing that.
I wear the same shoes. I put toilet paper on the back of the top of my heel today. The problem didn't happen again. I can't believe I can't even walk/jog with regular shoes. I'm going to keep these shoes and find a shoe expert and find out what the F%($*! is wrong with the back of this shoe, one day.
This was a pretty basic problem but thanks for helping =)

West Alabama softball team makes NCAA tournament
Published: Tuesday, May 7, 2013 at 3:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Monday, May 6, 2013 at 11:33 p.m.
LIVINGSTON | For the third straight year the University of West Alabama will be playing in the NCAA Division II softball tournament. The Tigers will meet Gulf South Conference rival Alabama-Huntsville in the first round Friday.
West Alabama comes into the regional with a 30-18 record and the seventh seed. Alabama-Huntsville is 39-15 and is seeded second in the double-elimination tournament.
"We are obviously really excited to be going to a regional for the third straight year," UWA coach Will Atkinson said. "I felt all along that we deserved the opportunity to go, but knew it would be close because of a tough day at the GSC tournament."
The Tigers were 1-2 against the Lady Chargers this season.
"At this point everybody is starting over. It's brand new right now," Atkinson said. "The great thing for us is, despite a bad day at the conference tournament, we have had a good last two weeks. I believe this team is ready to make a run."

The holidays should be a time to reconnect with our loved ones, not exhaust our energy and financial resources. If the season has become more stressful than joyful, it's time to get back to holiday basics. The experts at Grocery Outlet Bargain Market can help you stay focused on what's really important this year with tips to prevent you from overstressing and overspending.
How to simplify the holiday season
Get ready. Take inventory of your supplies early on. Buy items such as wrapping paper, tape, ribbons, stamps, boxes and pantry staples (sugar, flour) well in advance of the holidays. You can look for discounted items when you're not rushed.
Revisit your family traditions. Think through holidays from years past. Which activities caused you anxiety, stress and precious time? Focus on what makes you happy and eliminate what stresses you out.
Don't overcommit. Don't say "yes" to every invitation. Save room in your schedule for things that might pop up at the last minute.
Evaluate your gift list. Limit gifts to children only. Pick names or host a gift exchange.
Focus on gifts from the heart. Give gifts that show your love not the size of your wallet. Grandparents will likely value a photo album or a framed piece of children's art far more than expensive presents.
The holiday meal
Make it potluck. Ask your guests to contribute an appetizer, side or dessert. Ask visiting relatives to make breakfast, so you can focus on the turkey.
Prep ahead. Chop, measure and prepare as much as you possibly can in the days leading up to a big holiday meal.
Fake it. Not everything needs to be made from scratch. Grocery store bakeries can provide delicious pies, cakes and cookies just add a fresh garnish.
Don't overspend. Shop at places that offer you the most value. For example, Grocery Outlet purchases overstocks and closeouts directly from brand-name manufacturers. That means prices that are up to 50 percent cheaper than regular grocery stores.
Quality over quantity. You don't need seven vegetables and six pies. Keep it simple. Grocery Outlet's Simple Holiday Menu of roast turkey, Harvest Apple Stuffing, green bean casserole, cranberries, rolls and pie can feed a family of six for less than $20.
Simple roast turkey
Serves eight to 12 for 93 cents per serving
1 12-18-pound turkey
1 stick butter, room temperature
1 lemon, thinly sliced
Salt and freshly ground pepper
Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Remove neck and giblets from inside the turkey. Refrigerate for other use or discard. Rinse and drain juices from turkey. Pat dry with paper towels.
Slice butter into eight slices. Slide two slices butter under skin of the breast and one slice on each drumstick, also under the skin. Place turkey, breast up, on a roasting rack in a shallow roasting pan. Sprinkle turkey cavity generously with salt and pepper. Place three butter slices and lemon slices in main cavity. Tuck wing tips under. Tie legs together loosely.
Rub the last slice of butter on the outside breast skin. Sprinkle outside of turkey generously with salt and pepper. Transfer turkey to the oven. Cover breast and top of drumsticks with aluminum foil once they begin to brown to prevent them from drying out.
The turkey is done when a meat thermometer reaches 180 degrees when inserted into the deepest part of the thigh and 170 degrees in the breast. Let stand 15 minutes before carving.
