A Must Read - Share
Governor. U.S. Senator. Secretary of State. President of the United States. They've all been titles held by Bill or Hillary Clinton, a political power couple that's been in the game for almost 40 years. And with Hillary Clinton just finishing her time as Secretary of State and likely eyeing a 2016 Presidential run, it doesn't look like the pair are heading into retirement any time soon. It's been a long road for both, starting with Bill's 1974 congressional run and culminating in his inauguration as President in 1992. After leaving office in 2000, Hillary picked up the political baton and

Knitter's Review
February 2, 2012
One-skein wonders make yarn companies cringe. They'd rather you stock up on a few dozen skeins for a sweater or a blanket.
But some yarns are so decadent (and often so pricey) that they beg for smaller, special one- or two-skein projects. Artyarns falls into this category. As if reading our minds, owner Iris Schreier has just published a collection of patterns that take the one-skein notion literally one skein further.

Week 36: Oracle OpenWorld Countdown Is On - Tick Tock ...
By Sandra Haan on Sep 12, 2010
Do you hear that? It's the sound of the clock ticking as we get closer and closer to Oracle OpenWorld. With so little time left until the Oracle PartnerNetwork Forum we thought we would help you out with a handy-dandy checklist of things to get done:
- Register for the OPN Forum. You can update your Oracle OpenWorld registration to let us know you'll be joining us by following the instructions here.
- Take a look at the schedule and plan to attend a Special Interest Group and Regional Breakout. Bonus points if you plan to attend the Arrow or Avnet session.
- Get a workout in - you'll need it if you plan to join us for the Partner Fun Run at 6:00 AM on Monday.
- Start thinking about what you'll do with that new iPad - you just need to turn your OPN Forum Survey in to be entered into a drawing to win one.
- Download the latest Black Eyed Peas album so you can rock out with the best of them at the Appreciation Event on Wednesday evening.
- Go to the hardware store and buy a chain - we're offering FREE Implementation Specialist testing on Monday and Wednesday at the W Hotel - your new specialist certificate may be too much for your badge lanyard to hold.

Bridget is a Media Communication and Technology grad from East Stroudsburg University. She finished her education with a program in Film and Television at the Savannah College of Art & Design. Bridget loves television and movies, and is always annoying her friends when watching TV because she frequently asks "How did they do that?" or making predictions on whether a TV show will live past its first season. In order to avoid this habit, she now keeps this blog.
At the premiere for Iron Man 3, Avengers director/writer and all around geek god Joss Whedon confirmed that the Avengers 2 script has two additional characters. He's quoted as saying,
"I've got these two characters, two of my favorite characters from the comic books. A brother/sister act. They're in the movie, that's exciting." Speculation is already leading folks to believe that he's talking about Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver. Over on MTV's SplashPage, the theory is solidified by the fact tha talthough there are numerous brother/sister duos in Marvel, such as Cable and Rachel Grey or Aurora and Northstar, the only ones that are primarily Avengers characters are these two. The others are mostly X-Men characters above all else.
Whedon has finished a draft of the Avengers 2 with the mysterious "brother/sister act" included. "We're in a very good place," he says. "It's going really well. Eventually somebody will explain to me that it's not. But I've been writing, meeting with actors, and we're starting to storyboard and all the preliminary processes. This is the part where it's all still fun."
Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver are known in the comics as having started in the Brotherhood of Evil before switching sides and joining the Avengers in the 1960s. They're also the children of classic villain Magneto. Time will tell if Whedon decides to go that route with these characters, but one can assume the Avengers and X-Men universes will remain separate. And besides, when you're working with a girl who can control probability and magic, and a guy who's super-fast, do we really need to get more complicated?
Thanks to the Mary Sue for posting the article, with the purpose of hoping there will be another leading lady on the Avenger's team. Let's see what happens, folks.

EAGLE, Colorado - If you or someone close to you is college-bound, the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) may seem like one more overwhelming hurdle. The Eagle Public Library would like to help.
On Monday from 6 to 8 p.m., College in Colorado representative Jamie Burciaga will be on hand at the Eagle Public Library to offer free, personal assistance with the FAFSA from, which is generally filled out online in either English or Spanish. Parents and high school seniors may attend, but pre-registration is required. Several forms, such as identification, tax returns, W-2s, and bank statements will also be necessary, and personal laptops are encouraged. The library will provide a limited number of laptops for use during the program.
"The FAFSA can be intimidating for many of us," said Robyn Bryant, adult services librarian at the Eagle Public Library. "Several documents are necessary, and the application is detailed and lengthy. But the process is well worth the return."
To register for the free FAFSA Information Session, call the library at 970-328-8800. Space is limited.

Many people reach for Champagne or sparkling wine to celebrate New Year's Eve, but there's a growing trend in another bubbly direction: beer cocktails.
Originally, a cocktail was just one type of mixed drink, a subset of the genre, such as a julep, flip, swizzle, fizz or toddy. Several cocktail recipes were included in the 1862 "Bar-Tender's Guide," and the term took on its more modern meaning over the next few decades.
But it was Prohibition that really led to a surge in popularity of the cocktail. With no legal alcohol to serve, speak-easies had to make do with illegal hooch. Mixing bathtub gin with sweeter, more flavorful additions made the booze more palatable -- and probably more profitable.
Scarcities during World War II nearly killed off the grander cocktails, making way for simpler mixed drinks -- gin and tonic, for example, and rum and cola. By the 1980s, classic cocktails were nearly as dead as good beer.
But, like many artisan revivals of recent decades, the cocktail has undergone a major renaissance. One of the many innovations of this resurgence is the beer cocktail. Here are just a few examples, both traditional and modern, to whet your appetite.
The beer cocktail concept is not entirely new. The shandy, a mixture of beer and ginger ale or lemonade in equal measure, is a classic, as is the black velvet, a beer-Champagne mix. I like to mix a few drops of cassis, a black currant liqueur, in a dry Irish-style stout, such as Guinness. It gives the stout just a hint of fruitiness. And in college, I was introduced to a drink called a Spodie Odie, which was half beer and sangria; it tasted like fruit punch. (It actually tasted much better than you might expect.)
Modern beer cocktails
But the cocktail renaissance has brought a willingness to experiment. Some mixologists are making beer bloody marys; lagers work best, in my experience. Others offer beermosas for the beer-loving brunch crowd. As the name implies, it's beer and orange juice. Kölsch works really well for this purpose, as do witbiers and anything not too hoppy. Use dark beer with the O.J., and it's called a bee sting.
For a michelada, fill a glass of beer with ice; add lemon juice, a dash of soy sauce, Tabasco and Worcestershire sauce, along with a pinch of salt and pepper, and, finally, a shot of tequila.
Prefer a Skip and Go Naked? That's beer, lemon juice, gin and a dash of grenadine.
Find more beer cocktails ideas at www.beermixology.com. The website, which features beery recipes from more than a dozen mixologists, was co-created by Bay Area beer writer Ashley Routson, who works for Bison Brewing.
New Novato brewery
If you're looking for a reason to get out for a few hours during the holidays, consider a visit to the Bay Area's newest brewery, which opened Dec. 15. Former home-brewer Alan Atha just turned pro with Beltane Brewery, a modest three-barrel nanobrewery and tasting room in Novato.
Beltane (www.beltanebrewing.com) specializes in inventive twists on traditional styles. Atha's En Suite Saison is a delightfully tart farmhouse ale, and the Meritage Session IPA, which is just 4 percent alcohol by volume, still packs a hop punch. For bigger beers, there's the Luminesce Triple, a big ester-y beer, and my personal favorite, Rumpelstiltskin, an imperial IPA made with New Zealand hops.

Hi Guys. Ok, so here's the sitch. I'm at the end of week 4 in the C25K, and ater my last run I felt a bit of shin ache. A little throbbing. Now, a day later, I feel nothing, and it certainly hasn't affected my walk. Do you think I'm OK to go on to my workout tomorrow? I plan on repeating week 4 just in case this was a sign that my body needs to strengthen a bit, before moving to week 5. Any advice????
Thanks so much!
You're probably on the right track. Aches like this (and the neck soreness) can be a sign that you're pushing harder than your body is ready to go. Try slowing down a little, and relaxing, top to bottom, while you run. Other possibilities include overstriding (reaching out with your front foot for a longer stride and landing with your knee locked) and wrong or worn out shoes.
Thanks so much Len! I will slow it down.
You might try adding some foam roller exercise if it continues. Also add strengthening exercise like using toes to grag a towel or marbels off the floor. Use a broom handle and place it against your instep, use it to add resistance as you flex your foot upward.

Because asthma and allergies are so common and frequently occur together, most parents may want to know about preventing or avoiding these conditions.
"Allergen" is the word that doctors use to describe a substance in the environment to which our bodies may react with an allergic or asthmatic reaction. Common allergens include pollen, mold, dust mites, latex, certain foods , insect bites and stings , certain plants , and medications.
We are all exposed to at least some allergens all the time. But, most of us can encounter these troublemakers without experiencing any symptoms at all. For these people, their body simply does not react to allergens. However, for millions of people, an excessive immune response to allergens triggers a cascade of unpleasant symptoms. These symptoms are sometimes mild, but they can be severe, or rarely, even fatal. Allergic symptoms most commonly include itching of the eyes, throat, or skin, sneezing, nasal congestion, coughing, wheezing, or rash.
Typically, allergic substances enter the body in one or more of the following ways:
Asthma is a condition in which the lungs react to some kind of irritation with mucous production and inflammation along your breathing pathway. This reaction may occur moments after exposure to an irritant or after several hours have passed. Allergy is a common cause of asthmatic reactions, but similar symptoms can be produced by non-allergen sources, such as irritant chemicals, viral infections, or other lung irritants. Asthma is usually controllable with treatment. In between "attacks," or after treatment, the lungs return almost completely to normal. An asthma episode usually includes difficulty breathing, wheeze, cough, or other respiratory symptoms.
Exposure to tobacco smoke may trigger asthma in children as smoke is an irritant. Other triggers include exercise, cold air, viral infections, and allergens. The allergens that most commonly cause an asthma episode are dust mites, mold, pollen, and animal dander. Food allergies can also trigger an asthma episode in some people. Foods like shellfish and peanuts can be asthma triggers.
It is possible for your children to have allergies but not asthma, or to have asthma without allergies. But, the two conditions often occur together. Eczema and hay fever are common conditions associated with asthma.
For some people, the connection between these conditions lies in the similar biologic responses they cause to otherwise harmless environmental triggers. If you have allergies and/or asthma, your body is attempting to protect itself from substances it perceives to be dangerous. Unfortunately, this protective reaction triggers the release of body chemicals that cause results like sneezing, congestion, itchy red eyes, skin rash and/or wheezing, shortness of breath, and cough. With allergic asthma, the allergic reaction is confined to the airways, whereas other forms of allergy may affect the skin, eyes, or ears.
You cannot change your child's genetics, but you can do a number of things to safeguard your home and family against allergies and asthma. While developing allergies and/or asthma may be inevitable for some, following these tips may lessen the severity and frequency of episodes for people who are at high risk:
There is little evidence to support that using zippered plastic covers on pillows and mattresses helps control dust mite exposure.
There are other exposures you might want to avoid. Be aware that latex paints, chipboard furniture, and some rugs may release certain chemicals that can cause wheezing in children. If you can, choose to live away from busy highways. This will reduce any risk from automobile and truck exhaust.
Other sources of allergies include cockroaches, rodents, and mold. Careful cleaning of bathrooms and repairing leaky pipes can help reduce mold from growing.
Food is an important trigger for some children. Breastfeeding may help reduce the incidence of allergies, as well as asthma.
Knowing the underlying types, causes, and triggers of both asthma and allergies is the foundation of putting effective prevention and treatment strategies into action.

I didn't find that column pretentious at all and in fact really enjoyed it, but that's because puppets are a fascination, which means I enjoy Thomas Ligotti and cheered the link you placed for that online version of the Kleist essay. Given the sheer amount of your reading, I'm assuming you've gone through Victoria Nelson's The Secret Life of Puppets. I've yet to seriously burrow into it, but so far, what I've read is endlessly fascinating stuff.ReplyDelete

New York, October 9 -- Dell is about to introduce its much talked about android-powered smartphone, and might rope AT&T in.
The leading laptop manufacturer would soon be announcing its offer to AT&T, U.S.'s largest provider of local, long distance telephone services.
Neither Dell, nor AT&T, has confirmed any report, or made a comment. They are unveiling the phone months after introducing their smartphone for China Mobile.
In an already crowded market of android-powered products, it has to be seen how Dell manages to carve its niche.
The collision between netbooks and smartphones imminent
According to Jack Gold, principal analyst at J. Gold Associates, the hardware and data network of mobile phones is rapidly improving, making it difficult to distinguish between smartphones and laptops.
Acer, the computer-manufacturing company has already released their smartphone, while the leading mobile phone company Nokia, has introduced its 3G netbook.
"Nokia has to move upstream, and Dell and other computer makers have to move downstream," said Gold. "There's going to be a collision in the middle."
The market for smartphones is crowded, but growing fast. According to IDC, the shipments for smartphones have increased by 27 percent from 2007. It is currently touching the figure of 157 million units, and the number is expected to double by 2012.
The competition
Dell's introductory smartphone might not reach the heights the iPhone has achieved, but it can give the Palm Pre a stiff competition. It will be a better and upgraded version of the Mini3i smartphone that is about to hit the Chinese market soon.
Dell has a very stable brand image and strong presence in the U.S., and their smartphone can prove to be the nemesis of the Pre, or Motorola, or Nokia products. They are also well known for their direct-to-customer approach, which works well for the middle tier smartphone users.
The Blackberry will not offer direct competition to Dell as of now. This is because the android-powered Dell smartphone is not apt for business use yet, and Blackberry has a firm hold on the corporate sector users.
It is not going to be a cake walk for Dell. Companies like Motorola and Nokia have a reasonably firm hold on the U.S. Market, and are churning out android-powered smartphones with complete customization options. Dell has not yet been able to produce such tailor made products for its users.

PhRMA @ #ASCO13: Innovation Extends, Improves and Saves Lives in the War Against Cancer
PhRMA @ #ASCO13: Innovation Extends, Improves and Saves Lives in the War Against Cancer
05.31.13 | By
The Catalyst is covering #ASCO13 this weekend and we'll be posting ongoing thoughts on the pulse of the conference. We welcome your feedback and encourage you to leave comments below or tweet @PhRMA.
With the American Society of Clinical Oncology's (ASCO) annual meeting kicking off today in Chicago, we are reminded that oncology patients are living longer, healthier lives compared to years past. Over a span of approximately 30 years, the collaborative efforts of biopharmaceutical and academic scientists, federal researchers and doctors have yielded results: the five year survival rate for patients has increased by nearly 40 percent since 1980, while the cancer death rates decreased by 20 percent over the last two decades. This represents a major step forward in the war against cancer.
With this kind of progress, it is essential that we continue investing in innovation to extend, improve and save the lives of millions of patients. Sustained biopharmaceutical innovation provides hope for millions of patients suffering from disease, and the good news is that our collective work is just getting started. What do you think cancer treatments will look like in 30 more years? Share your thoughts below or tweet @PhRMA using the hashtag #ASCO13.

BERKELEY -- Cal will announce a 15-year naming rights deal for the field at Memorial Stadium in a Thursday news conference, according to the firm that brokered the deal.
The school announced late Wednesday there would be a news conference "to announce a long-term field naming rights partnership."
A Bay Area-based corporate sponsor with ties to Cal is on board, said Jesse Ryback, director of business development for Premier Partnerships.
Ryback would not divulge the name of the company or financial terms of the deal, but according to a New York Times blog, it is the video game maker Kabam. The field would be known as Kabam Field for the next 15 years, at a cost to the company of $18 million, the report said.
"It will be the most significant naming rights for a field to date for a college venue," Ryback said, stressing that the field sponsorship won't alter the traditional Memorial Stadium name. "We'd be shocked if it wasn't replicated by a number of universities across the country to unlock revenue."
Naming rights for the field only is rare in college football. In most cases, corporations purchase naming rights to the entire stadium.
One exception is InfoCision Stadium at the University of Akron, which opened in 2009. Summa Health System spent $5 million for field naming rights for 20 years, according to the Akron Beacon Journal. The paper said naming rights for the stadium went to InfoCision Management Corporation when company founder Gary Taylor made a personal $10 million donation, also for a duration of 20 years.
Ryback said Cal hired Premier Partnerships early last spring, and his firm, with offices in Los Angeles and New York, identified high-level prospective partners.
"It's a great fit all-around. We're really excited about it," Ryback said.
The news could be significant to Cal, which faces a $474 million, long-term debt to pay off renovations and earthquake retrofit work on Memorial Stadium along with the year-old Simpson Center high-performance training center.

OAKLAND -- The BART strike has moved into its third day after the transit agency and its unions failed to reach an agreement overnight during the first round of negotiations since the shutdown began, though they returned to the bargaining table Wednesday afternoon.
"We will back at the table to work hard to get a contract so we can get the passengers back on the trains and the system moving," Antonette Bryant, president of the local Amalgamated Transit Union, said Wednesday morning. "We're in this situation; we're doing the best we can. We're going to get out of it, and we're going to get out of it with a good contract."
BART said Wednesday for the first time that it would take another 18 hours to get the trains up and running should a settlement be reached to end the strike.
BART plans to run a "very limited" version of its charter bus service from the East Bay to San Francisco on Thursday compared to earlier in the week, and will restore slightly more buses Friday. Most Bay Area transit agencies are running reduced service for the Fourth of July holiday.
In a new development, the BART Board of Directors placed on its meeting agenda for as soon as Thursday morning items that call for the agency to impose new "terms and conditions of employment" on the unions. The board had scheduled potential meetings twice a day for the next week in case a deal needs to be ratified on short notice, though the agenda was updated Wednesday to include the items that would force working conditions on the unions.
The board used the same strategy during its last round of labor talks, voting unanimously to impose working conditions on its unions in 2009. At the time, the workers responded initially by threatening to strike, but quickly reached a settlement without walking off the job.
BART spokesman Rick Rice called the updated agenda a "routine" change and said the meetings would only happen if the board sees fit.
"We have to be prepared for all possibilities," Rice said, noting the state's requirements to post meeting agendas at least 24 hours in advance.
After a 36-hour break since their contracts expired, the ATU and the local Service Employees International Union joined BART management and new state mediators for nine hours, through 3 a.m. Wednesday. The talks, being held at a neutral office building in Oakland, resumed after 1 p.m. on Wednesday.
It was unclear whether any significant progress had been made or new proposals were offered, however, as new top mediators brought in Tuesday by Gov. Jerry Brown ordered both sides to keep the talks confidential as they continue to fight over pay and benefits.
The mediators, who aided in keeping both sides overnight for the first time since talks began three months ago, have helped quiet both sides after they had routinely blasted one another in public for weeks. Anita Martinez, chair of the Public Employment Relations Board, and Loretta van der Pol, chief of the State Mediation and Conciliation Service, took over for two lower-ranked mediators that had been assisting the last two weeks.
SEIU officials echoed Bryant's statements that union officials were continuing to work to reach a deal but they declined to provide specific updates. Rice said it was a positive sign that the meeting lasted so long but did not say whether any new progress or proposals were made.
Getting around
The lack of a deal means the 200,000 people who ride BART daily face a third consecutive day of frustration as train stations sit empty and workers deal with crowded buses, trains and freeways around the Bay Area.
Many Bay Area residents are dreading the impact on the holiday weekend and planning to stay closer to home than usual.
"There's no way we're going to go out; it's going to be crazy," said Oakland resident Luis Landero, exhausted after meandering around the region by bus and carpool from his home in Oakland to his job in San Francisco. He planned to celebrate Independence Day with friends he could reach by foot.
BART trains carried more than 182,000 one-way trips on last year's July 4 holiday, about half the load of a typical weekday, including many revelers drawn to San Francisco's nighttime fireworks and events throughout the day. But this year, many are avoiding a visit to the city, which this weekend kicks off a summer of sailing on the bay for the America's Cup regatta.
Others were still battling the commute challenges. Many commuters riding the San Francisco Ferry to and from Oakland Wednesday required a second form of transit to get to work, and it took a while to haul a trove of bicycles on and off the ferry during rush hour.
"We're mostly staying on schedule, but it adds an extra five minutes each way. It adds up," said Jerry Galvan, a guard from Pier 39 who stepped in to help with the increased ferry traffic. On Tuesday, San Francisco Bay Ferry carried nearly 20,000 one-way trips, triple their normal daily load of 5,800.
For drivers struck in traffic, carpools and the FasTrak lanes on Bay Area bridges continue to be a popular alternative. On Wednesday, officials at the Bay Area Toll Authority said drivers bought 2,073 new FasTrak transponders on Sunday and Monday, up 60 percent from the same two-day stretch a week before, when there were 1,294 orders. As the week wore on, the California Highway Patrol reported increasing backups in the FasTrak lanes at the Bay Bridge toll plaza.
Though many commuters will get a break the next few days, some of them continue to be frustrated.
"Jobs are hard to come by right now. They should be thankful they have a job," said David Hogue, a 50-year-old veteran from San Mateo. He usually takes BART for part of his commute to Stockton but hasn't been sleeping much due to the time added to his daily trips.
Compounding the challenges to businesses along the San Francisco waterfront, increased traffic slowed the normal flow of deliveries, crippling vendors already rushing to compensate for the unexpected surge in business -- and the cranky commuters.
"Angry commuters are taking their frustrations out on the service people," Chanda Briggs said as she made a latte at the San Francisco Ferry Building, not long before an Oakland-bound traveler approached her and began complaining about ferry delays. "I guess we're just the most immediate targets."
Briggs, a West Oakland resident and manager of Frog Hollow Farms in the San Francisco Ferry Building, said she has had to come in on her days off because some employees haven't been able to make it in during the strike.
"They're holding the public hostage," Briggs said. "We're the ones that suffer."
Meanwhile, AC Transit continued to make progress in talks with its unionized bus drivers who have been working without a contract since late Sunday. Its buses continue to roll despite a previous threat from workers to strike.
Opposing offers
In the BART negotiations, the new state mediators have asked both sides to keep their latest proposals confidential starting Wednesday. But previously, BART offered 8 percent salary increases over four years, double its original offer, while unions countered with 20.1 percent pay raises over three years, down from their prior proposal of 23.2 percent.
BART employees, who currently do not contribute to their pensions, had offered to start paying 0.5 percent toward their retirement, but management wanted the employee share to rise steadily, reaching 6 percent after four years. Both sides are also arguing over how much employees should pay toward their health care; currently, all workers pay a flat $92 each month for medical benefits.
Late Tuesday, BART and the union that represents 200 supervisors and professional workers reached a tentative agreement. If approved by workers, members of the local American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees would go back to work immediately, though the return of train service is still dependent on BART reaching a deal with the two larger unions that represent 2,300 line-level workers.

Hubba Hubba gets magazine mention
Published: Friday, May 24, 2013 at 3:26 p.m.
Last Modified: Friday, May 24, 2013 at 3:26 p.m.
Hubba Hubba Smokehouse in Flat Rock was named a runner-up in Southern Living's 2013 'Cue Awards for "Best Rib Joints in the South."
The June issue, which includes all the winners, is currently on newsstands.
More than 13,000 Southern Living readers voted online to choose their favorite barbecue "joints."
The Flat Rock restaurant finished outside the top five at No. 11, but owner Starr Teel is happy to get the publicity. It's the second magazine that's mentioned his restaurant this year. Hubba Hubba also was singled out by a columnist in "O" magazine, Oprah Winfrey's publication.
"Any kind of mention like this is big for a small business," Teel said.
The restaurant at 2724 Greenville Highway has been open for six years and serves wood-fired barbecue. In the fall, Hubba Hubba hosts a "Future Legends BBQ" cooking competition for youngsters.
Fiery Ron's Home Team BBQ in Charleston, S.C., claimed first place in the best ribs in the South category in Southern Living.

This morning I awakened with eyes red and watering. I was coughing and sneezing. I live in public housing at the Mattapoisett Housing Authority and have respiratory problems. But, what is most disturbing, the executive director is well aware of my health issues; yet, she recently placed a tenant who smokes directly below me, the crux of "Smoking to be snuffed out in public housing" (Oct. 24).
As evidenced by my allergic reaction, smoke moves wherever air moves, wafting down hallways and elevator shafts and seeping through ceiling cracks and air ducts, contaminating the whole building, and placing everyone at risk.
I commend Steven Beauregard, executive director of the New Bedford Housing Authority, for his vision, courage and backbone in firing the first volley against smoking in public housing and being awarded a $1 million federal grant so that New Bedford public housing will be smoke free in a year.
Tenants living in multiple-unit housing are exposed to toxins from tobacco smoke even if they are not smokers. And, "third-hand smoke," the toxic chemical residue of cigarettes, clings to one's hair and clothing and to carpets and upholstery, even after the smoke has cleared.
Obviously, there is no safe level of exposure to passive smoke as demonstrated by protecting bartenders in restaurants, protecting healthy adults in smoke-free workplaces and protecting infants, children, pregnant women and the elderly. Smoking has been banned in health care facilities for more than five decades.
I am fully aware that low information executive directors who read this will argue against what Mr. Beauregard is doing. They will absurdly claim that what an individual does in their own apartment is their business. I say nonsense. I have a right to breathe clean air in my apartment. I pay rent. I have never smoked, and at this stage of the game, I should not have to suffer the iatrogenic effects brought forth by another person's addiction.
I am 91 years old. I strongly urge the Department of Housing and Urban Development and the Department of Housing and Community Development to evaluate the irresponsible actions and senseless motivations of executive directors who refuse to follow Mr. Beauregard's leadership.
Finally, let me be clear, I am not advocating prohibiting smokers from inhabiting public housing units, but rather, prohibiting the act of smoking on the premises. This would encourage smokers to quit, since only those who continue to smoke on the premises would be required to move out.

Tomato Tarts (adapted from King Arthur)
Crust (for 4 tarts):
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 oz. cream cheese
1/8 tsp. salt
1 TBSP buttermilk powder
5 TBSP cold butter, cut into small cubes
2 TBSP ice water
Place flour, cream cheese, salt and buttermilk powder in mixing bowl and mix until crumbly. Add in butter and mix briefly, just until butter pieces resemble the size of small peas. Gradually add in water and mix until dough comes together in a ball. Wrap dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Divide dough into four pieces and roll each dough ball out into a 6 inch circle. I used my silpat to roll them on and there was no sticking, but if you're using your counter you may need to lightly flour it.
Place rolled out dough into tart pans and shape. Roll your rolling pin over the tops of the pan to seal the dough and cut off extra dough. Prick crusts several times with a fork to avoid them puffing while they bake.
Bake for 10 minutes in preheated 350 degree oven. Remove and set aside while preparing the filling ingredients.
1-2 TBSP Dijon mustard
2-3 dozen (depending on size) cherry tomatoes, halved
1 cup shredded cheese (I used a little blue cheese and some sharp cheddar)
2-3 strips bacon, cooked crisp and crumbled
fresh herbs (I used some Italian parsley and some basil) chopped
Heat oven to 425 degrees.
Spread a little mustard on the bottom of each tart crust. Arrange tomatoes in each tart and top with cheeses, bacon and herbs. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until crust is golden brown and cheeses melted.
Serve warm or at room temperature.

Last weekend, Oakland put its best foot forward.
Thousands of people — some of whom I'm sure had never set foot in our fair city — participated in the Oakland Running Festival. The races showcased some of the city's landmarks and picturesque vistas. Oakland was in the news for something good for a change and civic pride was at a high.
But Oakland also put its worst foot forward that weekend.
In less than 24 hours, two 18-year-olds died from gunshot wounds. They'd been killed within a mile and a half of each other in East Oakland.
Police found a dying James Allen in the courtyard of an apartment building near 92nd and Bancroft avenues. He'd been shot in the chest.
A neighbor who lived across the street said he'd heard several shots, from what he believed were two guns, at 1:45 p.m. in the afternoon. He later told a Tribune reporter that he "usually counts the shots, but I was sending somebody a text and didn't pay attention."
I'm not sure what's worse: (1) the fact that gunshots are so common that people who live in this neighborhood — just 16 blocks from my own — have taken to counting them for sport, or (2) that someone could actually be moronic enough to be more concerned about sending a text message than paying attention to a burst of gunshots.
The second teen, Eric Toscano, was killed in a drive-by outside his home on Ney Avenue near Parker Elementary School.
One moment, the Skyline High senior was having a belated 18th birthday celebration. The next, someone fired from the back seat of a car into a crowd where Toscano was standing. The teen was struck in the head. Three others were wounded, but at least their families can be grateful they won't be planning funerals.
As I applauded an 80-year-old man who'd just crossed the finish line during the half-marathon, I thought about the two teens who'd just lost their lives the previous day. Their combined age was 36. Between the two of them, they'd lived less than half as long as this hardy soul.
So it goes in schizophrenic Oakland: for every step forward, a giant step back.
Today, when you pick up your newspaper with your morning coffee, you will see the Tribune's Oakland Homicides 2009 coverage. It includes the names and most of the pictures of all of those slain last year. The good news is that violent deaths in Oakland dropped for a third straight year in 2009. Also, according to police statistics, violent crime overall is down 27 percent so far compared with last year.
That's encouraging as statistics go, but the fact is, 110 people were killed. So many that the annual, terrible tally nearly fills up a full page in this newspaper. This doesn't even take into account all of those who are shot but survive.
Eight on the list were enrolled, or had recently been enrolled, in Oakland public schools.
The youngest, Josue Lopez-Gil, was just 13.
When students lose their lives to violence, it's not just their immediate family and friends who are affected. The students in their school community are also traumatized.
The district has a crisis response team that employs "psychological first aid" to help students cope with the violent deaths of classmates.
In this year's Tribune Homicide package, you'll find something different.
The Tribune has published a poignant letter written by Alicia Romero, the principal of Oakland High School. Romero wrote a letter to her student Phillip Wright after the 16-year-old's shooting death Nov. 19. In it, she describes how his fellow students and teachers reacted to the news that Wright was shot when he went to answer the door. That he didn't have a chance to open it before bullets were fired. That the boy was not the target. The letter is a must-read. It will break your heart.
Romero was a good kid. He had a learning disability and struggled through school, but he always showed up and did his best. He had a job at the East Oakland Boxing Association and stayed out of trouble.
In the end, none of that was enough to save him.

ga^^^^^NEWSPÂl^^awggALISH-PEND D'OR I ELLESAKlPjKQOTEN ACTRI BEg Volume 7 Number 6 New Moon of The Huckleberry July 15, 1977 1977 Pow-Wow A Success! The clouds, cold winds, and rain which attended part of this year's Pow-Wow did not keep an estimated 1,400 to 2,000 people per day from enjoying this 79th annual event. It featured dancing, contests for queen, drumming, singing, and stick games; plus a feast; a rodeo; and a parade. The parade and rodeo were put on by groups which were separate from the Pow-Wow Committee. There were 700 campers at the Pow-Wow. Doug Allard, Pow-Wow Committee Chairman, said he received a lot of favorable comments on the event. He pointed out that because their weren't many drunks wandering around, there were more old people and kids at this year's Pow-Wow. Allard said the drumming was the best they had ever had. He said the Porcupine Singers, from South Dakota are some of the best in the nation. He added that many people have commented how they like the revival of old dances, such as the Scalp Dance. He hoped the kids would learn these things so they will always be part of Pow-Wows to come. Mary K. (Pooyah) Lefthand, of Arlee is the new Miss Flathead. Rhonda Matt, of Mission, and Patti Matt of Arlee are runners up. Mary Ann (Wal-ly) Allard, of Mission is our new Jr. Miss. Juanita Sanchez, of Arlee and Eileen (Leenie) Morigeau, of Dixon are runners up. Watch the next Char-Koosta for a special article on them. The Parade Committee would like to thank all of the business men who contributed to make it a success. All money collected was given out except for a small amount to advertise and start the event next year, a Committee said. They are open to suggestions for next year. George Ducharme was the Grand Marshall of the parade. The Montana Rodeo Association approved rodeo ran July 3rd and 4th. The event featured contests in Saddle Bronc, Bareback, Bull Riding, Calf Roping Steer Wrestling, and Ladies Barrel Racing. This year's Pow-Wow honored "Blind Mose" who did so much to help revive many of the old dances with his songs. Tribes Protect Shoreline DIXON - The Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes are dismayed by the approach taken by the Flathead Lakers on riparian, or shoreline rights on Flathead Lake, say that the Tribes have always responded when called u-pon by the Lakers to protect the quality of water in the Lake. Tribal Council Chairman Harold W. Mitchell Jr. said today that three occasions that immediately come to mind where the Tribes stepped in to protect the Lake are I.) the proposed dredging of the outlet of Flathead Lake by the Corps of Engineers, 2.) the proposed pulp mill at Columbia Falls and 3.) the proposed Cabin Creek Coal Development. "It appears to me that if we could have open communications with the Lakers we could jointly work to protect the quality of the Lake," Mitchell said. But he said news released and special interest groups that do not present the full story on the issues continue to frustrate cordial relationships in the valley and around the Lake. The U.S. Supreme Court declined to review a Federal District Court decision that Namen had riparian rights which let the lower courts' decision stand. The District Court left open the question as to the extent of those rights, Mitchell continued. The recent news release which claim the state's LakeShore Protection Act is illegal appears correct. The District Court in its opinion stated, "Title to the bed and banks of the south half of Flathead Lake below the high water mark is held in trust by the United States for the Tribes. Thus, the basis for state determination of riparian rights is non-existent. State law, therefore, is not applicable." The Tribes have made efforts to contact the Flathead Lakers to constructively settle the issues and protect the enviroment, Mitchell stated. He said he had received no response from the Lakers. According to Mitchell, that, in the absence of jurisdiction of the state to protect the Lake, the Tribes are merely interested in the proper control of the Lake to be sure it is kept in its pristine condition. Nothing more. The Court left open the question of what exercise of riparian rights is appropriate and what constitutes an abuse of those rights." Continued on page 2

Police Chief Greg Suhr on How 'Batkid' Saved San Francisco
"Batkid" aka 5-year-old leukemia patient Miles Scott, attracted over 10,000 people as he moved through the city of San Francisco Friday, fighting crime, capturing criminals and rescuing a damsel in distress.
Organized and executed by Make-A-Wish Foundation,the day of superheroism was all pretend, but it surely felt as good as the real thing to Batkid.
The city's Police Chief, Greg Suhr, served as Scott's master of ceremonies, having prerecorded a series of messages to help guide the superhero through the city, ultimately resulting in the capture of the Riddler and Penguin.
With the criminals safely in lockup, Scott was granted a chocolate key to the city and received a encouraging tweet from President Obama. The San Francisco Chronicle even received a surprise visit from Clark Kent, who penned a front page story about batkid saving the city.
#FollowFriday RT @SFWish: Here he comes!!!! #SFBatkid pic.twitter.com/pMn3gRHcLo
— Barack Obama (@BarackObama) November 15, 2013
Miles, who is in remission, was diagnosed with leukemia when he was 18 months old and ended treatments in June.
Suhr phoned Speakeasy at the close of the day's festivities to speak about the pint-sized crime fighter and what it took to organize the event.
What messages did you record for batkid?
I pre-recorded all the phone calls and loaded them into one of the two Lamborghinis that Batkid was going to be in with Batman and my prerecorded messages moved their day along. I hammed it up saying "Holy smokes Batman, Great Caesar's ghost, I'm lost only you can help find me," and things like that. This was first mentioned to me three months ago and we just said yes to everything. I'm a seven days a week person anyways.
Over 10,000 people showed up. That's a lot for a five year old to take in.
He's a cool little guy. He got a rise out of the crowd. When I met him, he was like, "watch this," and raised his fist and kind of rocked a nod to me. It was very cool. Afterwards, they were showing him on the jumbotron and on the news and he was like, "no, it's ok, I was there." He didn't need to watch it. He should have been James Bond, not Batkid.
How much money did this cost the city?
It just cost us our time. We told the guys prior that they were not going to make overtime, the ones who chose to hang around it was more of having your heart in the right place. Obviously it was necessary to put police resources into it, that happens all over major cities all the time, but this was not publicly funded.
Will you be phoning Batkid again?
You never know. That's how cool it is to have Batkid, if you need him, you never know, he won't be far away.

OAKLAND -- Even before the basketball season begins, the Golden State Warriors are winning -- off the court.
The team already has sold more than 14,000 season tickets, a franchise record, and will set another franchise record with 17 appearances in nationally televised games. And in guard Stephen Curry, they have one of the league's most marketable stars, one who stokes the team's fervent fan base and gives the Warriors a great shot of winning on the court as well.
"The Warriors may be young and up-and-coming, but they've already proven that they can perform in the playoffs," said Amy Brooks, a former Stanford guard who now serves as senior vice president for marketing and business operations for the NBA. "The Warriors have historically had a very loyal and passionate fan base. Their recent success has just driven this to a higher level."
During last year's 47-35 season -- which ended with heartbreak in the second round of the playoffs -- Oracle Arena sold out a record 38 consecutive games. It was the largest sellout streak since the arena's capacity grew from 15,025 to 19,596 in 1998.
Helping sell tickets is one young player in particular. The Warriors' 25-year-old rising star, Curry, is a favorite for his humble demeanor off the floor and his shooting touch on the court that last season set an NBA regular-season record with 272 3-pointers.
On Friday, Curry and head coach Mark Jackson shot an installment in Los Angeles for the team's first appearance in ESPN's offbeat series of RV commercials that tease the network's basketball coverage while elevating the profiles of the players who star in them.
In a league filled with superstars with names like LeBron James and Kobe Bryant, Curry's No. 30 will be one of the few to appear on T-shirts across the country in all Champs Sports stores through a partnership with the NBA.
"The Warriors' style of play, iconic logo and marquee players like Steph Curry and Harrison Barnes have driven interest in the Warriors far beyond the West Coast," said Frank Bracken, Champs Sports' vice president of marketing.
Last year, the team announced its intent to move across the bay to San Francisco, where it would turn Piers 30 and 32 into a new, privately financed 17,000- to 19,000-seat arena in the shadow of the Bay Bridge. They would still be called the "Golden State" Warriors and the team could start playing in the new arena in 2017.
For now, the team's offseason success represents sweet vindication for superfans such as Mike Wong, 43, who was born and raised in Berkeley but now lives in New York. He saw the Warriors in person eight times last year, including five games in Oakland.
"I'm a die-hard Warriors guy," Wong said.
Wong quickly ticked off the years, coaches, players, owners, false promises and missed opportunities he has suffered through as a Warriors fan -- until last season's playoff run followed by the hope of the upcoming season, which begins with preseason play Oct. 5 against the Lakers in Los Angeles, followed by the regular season opener on Oct. 30 in Oakland against the Lakers.
"It's the first time we have everything -- from the ownership down -- to have a real shot to be a contender and be a perennial 50-win-type franchise," Wong said.
Like the NBA itself, Wong expects great things from Curry, whose father, Dell, played in the league and gives Curry a bona fide NBA pedigree.
"He's a tremendously likable guy, extremely articulate and a family man at just 25 years old," Wong said. "He's an incredible package to market. He's not the kind of guy to get into trouble. He's the perfect face for the franchise."
The Warriors certainly grew their fan base through their playoff run last season, but team President Rick Welts said the Warriors' attraction comes from the team's chemistry.
"It's pretty clear to everybody who watches them that these guys are in it together," Welts said. "We have a group who like each other. It's a far cry from the Warriors teams that missed the playoffs in 17 of their previous 18 years."
Asked how the organization's off-court success might influence the team, Welts said he's excited about the possibilities.
"Success breeds expectations," he said. "We wouldn't have it any other way."

ST. LOUIS -- From Clay Buchholz throwing four innings of one-run ball without an overpowering fastball to Game 2 starter John Lackey making his first relief appearance in nine seasons, every Boston Red Sox player was on call Sunday night.
But it was late lineup replacement Jonny Gomes who delivered the biggest blow to even the best-of-seven World Series at two games apiece.
Gomes hit a three-run home run off reliever Seth Maness in the sixth inning to snap a 1-1 tie and vault the Red Sox to a 4-2 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals at Busch Stadium.
Gomes replaced Shane Victorino, who was scratched less than two hours before the game because of lower-back stiffness. It's uncertain whether Victorino will be available Monday for Game 5, but Gomes' homer helped ensure that the Red Sox will send the Series back to Boston for Game 6 on Wednesday.
"Emotional roller-coaster here, obviously," said Petaluma's Gomes, who had been 0 for 9 in the Series before the homer. "Since I signed up for this game, all I wanted was the opportunity. I just wanted to be in the box."
The game ended when Red Sox closer Koji Uehara picked pinch-runner Kolten Wong off first base.
"He was reminded of (Uehara's pickoff move)," Cardinals manager Mike Matheny said. "Then he slipped, and it cost him."
Gomes' homer was crucial against a Cardinals team that finally decided to pitch around hot-hitting David Ortiz.
Until Gomes' homer, Ortiz had accounted for most of the Red Sox offense in this series. Ortiz, who hit a double and scored the Red Sox's first run in the fifth after Lance Lynn pitched to the minimum 12 batters through the first four innings, is 8-for-11 with a double and two homers in this series.
With two outs in the sixth, Dustin Pedroia hit a single and Ortiz walked on four pitches, prompting Matheny to pull Lynn in favor of Maness.
But Gomes cranked a 2-2 pitch over the left-field fence.
"It was right down the middle," Maness said. "That's baseball, it happens."
Said Matheny, "(Maness) has been able to get the big out when we needed it. We wanted to give him a shot. It didn't work out."
Ortiz had hollered at his teammates from second base after a double in the fifth, then huddled them in the dugout before the sixth for a serious pep talk.
"It was like 24 kindergartners looking up at their teacher," Gomes said. "The message was pretty powerful. He had everyone's attention pretty quick. And just gave us a little kick in the butt that we needed."
Despite a fastball that was clocked only in the high 80s, Buchholz limited the Cardinals to one unearned run through four innings. He received an extra day of rest after coping with tightness in his right shoulder.
"There are situations where it makes more sense to have a shorter game than to go out there and miss an opportunity to score some runs," said Buchholz, who was lifted for a pinch hitter in the top of the fifth. "I definitely understood everything that went on tonight, and I'm just glad I could contribute."
Lackey, the Game 2 loser and Boston's probable Game 6 starter, pitched a scoreless eighth inning, overcoming a two-base throwing error by third baseman Xander Bogaerts -- Boston's seventh error of the Series -- and a wild pitch.
Allen Craig, who aggravated his left ankle while scoring the winning run after an obstruction call to end a zany Game 3 on Saturday, underwent X-rays before the game, and they were negative.
Craig came off the bench with one out in the ninth and singled off the right-field wall. Wong came in to run, but Carlos Beltran didn't get to complete his at-bat when Wong got picked off.
Boston manager John Farrell said it wasn't a play he called.
"That was on his own," Farrell said. "It was all on Uehara."
It was the first postseason game in history to end on a pickoff, according to STATS.
"We have guys with heart. Clay, he brought everything he's got," Ortiz said. "I have never seen Clay throwing an 88 mph fastball."
It was a special anniversary for both teams. Exactly nine years earlier, the Red Sox completed a four-game sweep of the Cardinals across the street at old Busch Stadium for their first title since 1918. And two years earlier, David Freese hit a tying, two-run, two-out triple in the ninth against Texas and a winning homer in the 11th to force a Game 7, which St. Louis won the following night.
The Associated Press contributed to this report.

College baseball roundup: Upstate rallies past UNCA
Published: Wednesday, March 20, 2013 at 3:15 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, March 21, 2013 at 1:10 a.m.
The USC Upstate baseball team used a seven-run fourth inning to erase a six-run deficit en route to a 10-8 victory against UNC Asheville on Wednesday at Harley Park. The win marks the fourth straight for the Spartans (12-7) against the Bulldogs.
Trailing 7-1 with two outs and based loaded in the bottom of the fourth, Brady Greer hit a single to right field that scored two runs to start the rally. Next, Jordan Stampler walked to load the bases again, and Gaither Bumgardner hit a single to score two more runs. After an infield hit by Tyler Lesch loaded the bases again, Brandon Patterson capped the rally with a three-run double.
"I liked the seven-run inning a lot," said Upstate head coach Matt Fincher. "We were kind of dead in the water at that point and we came right back so that's a good sign."
Josh Howard (1-0) earned the victory in relief after tossing a scoreless frame in the top of the fourth.
The Spartans return to action at 6 p.m. on Saturday as they travel to Jacksonville.
Clemson 5, Morehead State 2: In Clemson, Jon McGibbon hit a run-scoring single in the sixth to break a tie, and lift the Tigers (13-7) to a victory. Jonathan Myer (1-0) earned the victory after allowing no runs on six hits with no walks in four innings of relief.
Limestone 12, Francis Marion 9: In Gaffney, Cooper Gunter drilled a three-run homer in the bottom of the seventh to power the Saints (16-10) to a win. Josh Cesairo (2-0) earned the win after tossing 1 1/3 scoreless innings of relief.
Wofford 8, Presbyterian 6: In Clinton, Demetrius Jennings drove in three runs, and James Plaisted added two more to lead the Terriers (9-13) to a win. Wofford starter Dominick Del
Monte (1-2) earned the win after allowing three runs on five hits in three innings.

About the Book
High Price is the harrowing and inspiring memoir of neuroscientist Carl Hart, a leading researcher in the field of drug addiction, who grew up in one of Miami's toughest neighborhoods and, determined to make a difference as an adult, tirelessly applies his scientific training to help save real lives.WINNER OF THE PEN/E. O. WILSON LITERARY SCIENCE WRITING AWARD
Young Carl didn't see the value of school, studying just enough to keep him on the basketball team. Today, he is a cutting-edge neuroscientist—Columbia University's first tenured African American professor in the sciences—whose landmark, controversial research is redefining our understanding of addiction.
In this provocative and eye-opening memoir, Dr. Carl Hart recalls his journey of self-discovery, how he escaped a life of crime and drugs and avoided becoming one of the crack addicts he now studies. Interweaving past and present, Hart goes beyond the hype as he examines the relationship between drugs and pleasure, choice, and motivation, both in the brain and in society. His findings shed new light on common ideas about race, poverty, and drugs, and explain why current policies are failing.
A pioneering neuroscientist shares his story of growing up in one of Miami's toughest neighborhoods and how it led him to his groundbreaking work in drug addiction.
As a youth, Carl Hart didn't realize the value of school; he studied just enough to stay on the basketball team. At the same time, he was immersed in street life. Today he is a cutting-edge neuroscientist—Columbia University's first tenured African American professor in the sciences—whose landmark, controversial research is redefining our understanding of addiction.
In this provocative and eye-opening memoir, he recalls his journey of self-discovery and weaves his past and present. Hart goes beyond the hype of the antidrug movement as he examines the relationship among drugs, pleasure, choice, and motivation, both in the brain and in society. His findings shed new light on common ideas about race, poverty, and drugs, and explain why current policies are failing.
Though Hart escaped neighborhoods that were dominated by entrenched poverty and the knot of problems associated with it, he has not turned his back on his roots. Determined to make a difference, he tirelessly applies his scientific research to help save real lives. But balancing his former street life with his achievements today has not been easy—a struggle he reflects on publicly for the first time.
A powerful story of hope and change, of a scientist who has dedicated his life to helping others, High Price will alter the way we think about poverty, race, and addiction—and how we can effect change.
Educator and Librarian Resources
Critical Praise
"It's a fascinating combination of memoir and social science: wrenching scenes of deprivation and violence accompanied by calm analysis of historical data and laboratory results." — John Tierney, New York Times
"Moving and inspiring…. Hart's memoir… is deeply honest and often painful. And his account of the ways in which scientific evidence has been ignored in the war on drugs is as alarming as it is fascinating." — Boston Globe
"Hart's account of rising from the projects to the ivory tower is as poignant as his call to change the way society thinks about race, drugs and poverty." — Scientific American
"A hard-hitting attack on current drug policy by…a neuroscientist who grew up on the streets of one of Miami's toughest neighborhoods…An eye-opening, absorbing, complex story of scientific achievement in the face of overwhelming odds." — Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
"A refreshing new analysis of drug use that reveals how common misconceptions about illegal drugs are far too often not based on empirical evidence. . . . . [A] thought-provoking…[and] important work on substance abuse." — Library Journal (starred review)
"Combining memoir, popular science, and public policy, Hart's study lambasts current drug laws as draconian and repressive…. His is a provocative clarion call for students of sociology and policy-makers alike." — Publishers Weekly
"It's not every day you read a book that blows the lid off everything you've ever been taught about drugs, but Dr. Carl Hart's recent work…does just that. Part memoir, part myth-buster…a fast-paced read." — Huffington Post
"Perhaps nowhere has a voice been more resonant in a single place than in Dr. Carl Hart's profoundly impacting new memoir, High Price." — Ebony.com
"In his new book High Price: A Neuroscientist's Journey of Self-Discovery That Challenges Everything You Know About Drugs and Society, Carl Hart blowsapart the most common myths about drugs and their impact on society." — Kristen Gwynne, Salon.com
"Hart's autobiography weaves personal memoir, Drug Science 101, and enlightened discussions of American racial politics into one engaging narrative." — Gabriel Grand, PolicyMic.com
"This mixing of personal story and hard research is interesting and appealing, in part because Hart isn't preachy and partly due to his unique history as someone who actually lived that which he's trying to help others avoid." — New Pittsburgh Courier
