|Oscar F. Stanton (1834-1924) entered the Navy in 1849. A short time later he was aboard Susquehanna, taking part in Commodore Perry's Japan Expedition. During 1858-1859 he was on the Frigate Constellation. Serving with the Pacific Squadron at the outbreak of the Civil War, Stanton was promoted to Lt. Commander. In command of Pinola he participated in the battle of Mobile Bay with Admiral Farragut. Stanton was promoted to Commander in 1867. He became a Captain in 1879 and for two years commanded the Frigate Constitution. In 1884 he commanded Tennessee, and a year later was placed in charge of the Naval Station at New London, where he remained for three years and acquired his love for the town that was to become his home. By 1893 he was a Rear Admiral in command of the South Atlantic Squadron, and in 1894 his flagship, USS Kearsarge, was wrecked in the Gulf of Mexico. He retired later that year, but was again placed in command of the New London Naval Station during the Spanish American War. This was his last active service.
USS Stanton (DE 247) (1943 - 1947) was the first ship named in his honor.

Beware New Credit Card Fees
The most recent issue of Money Magazine had an interesting article about protecting yourself from new "credit card traps." In it, they highlighted a number of changes that banks have introduced to improve their bottom line in the face of recent credit card legislation.
Three of the big fees changes that they highlighted were:
- Fees because you're not spending enough. Some Citibank cardholders are apparently being hit by annual fee of $30-$90 if they spend less than $2400 per year on their card.
- Fees because you're not swiping enough. Some FigthThird cardholders are being hit with a $19 fee if they don't use their card for a year.
- Fees… Just because. Bank of America has introduced annual fees of $29-$99 on a variety of new and existing cards.
There have been a number of other charges, as well, including new or increased fees on balance transfer credit cards, fees for participating in credit card reward programs, and so on. In other words… Fees, fees, fees!
The lesson here is to keep a close eye on your credit cards, and be sure to read any mailing from your card issuer. What you don't know can hurt you (or at least your pocketbook).

Regarding the fees being charged by Shiticard:
I received a letter from them pertaining to my At&T Universal card, which I've had since 2004. Never one late payment – very solid customer for them. On Apris 1st I will be billed an annual fee of $60. If I use the card for more than $2400 by next March 31, my fee will be refunded. So they get a 365 day loan from me, and basically hold me hostage so that everytime I reach for my wallet, I will be reaching for their card.
Two words: NO WAY!
I have not yet received a letter pertaining to my other Shiticard, but no matter – I am dumping both of them.
My recommendation is to dump every card from the BIG 5: Shiticard, Bank of UnAmerica, Chase, American Express, and Capitol Offense One.
Go with a card from your local credit union!

@DB: No clever name for Chase or American Express?
It will be really important to keep an eye on the fine print with banks trying to find new ways to make up for the money they're losing. We've got a series of blog posts up on the topic: http://www.lifetuner.org/blog-.....ne%20print

As a result of the CARD Act reforms that went into effect on February 22, credit card companies are projected to incur $12 billion in annual losses. But we all know that credit card companies are far too imaginative to let this happen. The reforms require the credit card companies to give you 45 days notice before rate increases, and those increases cannot be applied to existing debt unless you miss payments for 60 days. In addition, there have been new restrictions placed on how they can market to college students under 21 years old.
This all translates to nothing more than a bump in the road for card companies. Old methods of revenue generation will be replace by new ones in the form of lots of fee's. Best bet is to clear your debts and watch your statements for any suspicious changes.

Here's the thing. Getting your credit card from a major bank is a risk, and of course you're going to start paying higher fees. I think more people should shop around for better rates from smaller banks or loan groups, read the fine print, and move on from there. Also, don't get sucked into card amounts you know you'd never be able to pay off; that's dynamite you don't want to deal with.

Just a warning – received statement from HSBC card supposedly eight days after the close of the billing cycle. Payment is due 10 days before next cycle which was moved from the 18th of the previous month to the 12th of the next month, and, if it truly took eight days to get to me, then ten days to get to them means I have to pay it on the day it is received – a new way to try to get some new fees and raise interest rates. I documented, wrote them and am in process of writing my attorney general. Anyone else encountered this?

January 30th, 2012 at 5:03 pm
I just got a notice of a $39 annual fee starting up for US Bank. It is a travisty in this country that a multi-billion dollar profit industry is permitted to charge a fee simply to maintain the card – offering no "premier" benefits in exchange (they also are not offering to refund the fee if a $$$ annual usage is met). I don't care about canceling the card, which I will do, but I do think it is outrageous that my credit score will be hit by closing out the account! It's a legalized hostage situation: either pay the fee being levied or cancel the card and take a hit on the credit score. I don't care how "little" my credit score drops as a result, it still feels like "play our way or get slapped" to me.

Denmark Asks EU To Stop Djibouti Boycott
Denmark has asked the EU to contact Djibouti to stop the country's official boycott of Danish goods, Boersen [Danish daily financial newspaper] reports.
The small Muslim country on the Horn of Africa banned the import and sale of Danish goods earlier this month [as published] following violent demonstrations against Jyllands-Posten's Muhammad cartoons.
Government-supported boycott
Foreign Minister Per Stig Moeller writes in a reply to the Danish People's Party's EU spokesman, Morten Messerschmidt, that there have been "rumors" of a government-supported boycott in the local press.
More recently the Foreign Ministry has been informed that Djibouti's foreign minister confirmed the existence of an official boycott on 17 February.
Breaks WTO rules
Per Stig Moeller stresses that as a member of the WTO Djibouti cannot call an official boycott without breaking the trade organization's rules.

1980s Style: Image and Design in The Dorsky Museum Collection
Curated by Daniel Belasco
February 5 – July 13, 2014
Sara Bedrick Gallery
Artist Gallery Talk: Sunday, April 6, 2 pm, with Ann Lovett and Stephen Ladin
George McNeil, Untitled (from "The Atelier Project"), 1984, flat bed offset lithograph on Arches paper, 21 3/4 x 28 1/4 in., Gift of SUNY Purchase, 1987.012.009
The 1980s had a look all its own. 1980s Style includes prints, photographs, and jewelry from the collection of The Dorsky Museum that exemplify the stark geometries and vibrant colors of the decade. This exhibition highlights the characteristics of a recognizable style that linked the main art movements of the era, including neo-expressionism, appropriation art, and postmodernism.
Stephen Ladin, Teapot with lid, 1982, clay, glaze, 4 3/4 x 5 1/2 x 6 /12 in., Gift of Dr. Hugo Munsterberg, 1992.003.005
In developing a new "80s" style, artists employed common images and revealing patterns in order to focus on content. Jewelers and designers borrowed influences from architecture and engineering, recasting objects as miniature sculptures or machines. Photographers used techniques of collage and montage to flatten the picture plane and transform the illusionistic space of the photograph into suggestive abstraction. Printmakers adopted a cartoonish figuration to focus attention on gesture and line.
Ann Lovett, Stargazer Series: Vanishing Point, 1987, Polaroid print, 24 x 20 in., gift of the artist

This is the Thai idea of a hot breakfast, and a good way to use up leftover rice. If you're not ready for a spicy porridge in the morning, serve it as a light lunch or an evening meal. Think of this dish as the Thai version of a warm bowl of oatmeal.
2 cups (500 mL) Thai Soup Stock or chicken broth
2 stalks celery, thinly sliced
2 teaspoons (10 mL) minced fresh ginger
1/4 teaspoon (1 mL) ground white pepper
4 ounces (113 g) pork or chicken, coarsely chopped
1 cup (250 mL) cooked Thai Kitchen® Jasmine Rice
2 tablespoons (30 mL) Thai Kitchen® Premium Fish Sauce
1 tablespoon (15 mL) vegetable oil
2 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
Fresh cilantro sprigs (optional)
BRING stock to boil in medium saucepan on medium-high heat. Add celery, ginger and white pepper. Add the meat, a little at a time, stirring to break meat up. Stir in cooked rice and fish sauce; simmer 5 to 7 minutes or until meat is cooked through.
HEAT oil in small skillet on medium-high heat. Add garlic; stir fry until golden brown and crisp. Drain on paper towels. (This can be done in advance or the day before).
LADLE soup into bowls. Sprinkle with crisp garlic. Garnish with cilantro, if desired.

Just dusted-off my old 9406-S20 which hasn't been powered-on in 5 years.
Wouldn't power on - obvious power supply fault. Replaced PSU. Now powers on, but
after a few seconds with assorted SRC codes running through, and disk & CD-ROM
lights flashing, it stops with SRC 9164 BE00 and the 'attention' light on.
It appears to me that the disks aren't spinning up. Don't know why. Putting in
an OS 5.2 CD-ROM and doing an IPL 'D' produces the same result. Any clues? I've
done some searching and can't find that SRC anywhere...

The Tucker County Commission will begin accepting letters of interest from residents interested in serving on the newly formed Tucker County Culture District Authority Board.
"About a year and a half ago, folks met and had a dinner-time conversation about the growing number of artists, artisans and patrons of the performing arts that were not just settling in Tucker County, but were visiting Tucker County," Commissioner Diane Hinkle said.
"So they put together a strategic plan to seek legislation that would empower, enhance and promote Tucker County as a center for the cultural arts," Hinkle said. "As a result of those efforts, and with the help of Sen. Bob Williams, D-Taylor, who sponsored the bill, and Sen. David Sypolt, R-Preston, who co-sponsored the bill, and the support of Delegate Randy Smith, R-Preston, and Delegate Mary Poling, D-Barbour, Senate Bill 561 passed in April and it established the Tucker County Cultural District Authority.
Hinkle said the authority's goal is "the creation of additional employment and investment opportunities."
The final decision on who will serve on the authority will not come from the commissioners.
"The authority board is to consist of seven members: all must be citizens and residents of Tucker County, and must have a demonstrated interest in cultural tourism," Hinkle said.
The Tucker County Commission is now seeking letters of interest from Tucker residents and citizens who would like to be considered for appointment to this board. Commissioners will recommend the board members to the governor, who will actually appoint that board.
"We are looking for people not only with a background in performing and creative arts, but people who have an interest in event planning, people who have a strong background in business, people who have demonstrated leadership," Hinkle said.
"This is a real opportunity for this county to become a template for other counties who wish to do something similar," she said.
Hinkle said commissioners will advertise for two weeks for letters of interest.
Also at Wednesday's meeting:
- Dustin Luzier, director of the Tucker County Community Corrections program, reported that May was the busiest month in 2013. There were 21 offenders in the program accounting for 450.5 community service hours. Luzier said the program is offering new classes, and they must be evidence-based. The programs will include training in life skills, drug rehabilitation, stress management, where to look for jobs and how to balance a checkbook. Currently, there are two enrollees that are working toward their GED.
- Commissioners voted to give full support to the Timberline Motorcycle Relay to set up a tent and serve beer during the event, slated for Aug. 22-25. Proceeds from the event go to the Pilot Dog Program, that trains dogs for the blind.
- On Tuesday, commissioners interviewed youth for the Summer Youth Program.
"This is something I enjoy each year," said Rosenau. "This was their first interview. So when they go to their next interview, as an adult, hopefully, they have some experience and they won't be as nervous. I am proud of the kids that came."
"They were just outstanding adults," said Commissioner Lowell Moore. "I was so impressed with them."
Those hired for the eight-week program include Stephanie Betler, Brandon Carr, Corey Kelley, Mitchell Mason, Payden Michael, Ian Nichols, Zachary Parsons and Austin Waugaman.
The next meeting of the Tucker County Commission is slated for 6 p.m. June 26 in the Tucker County Courthouse Courtroom.

KnitBKS' Intro
Hi, everyone!
My name is Brian. I go by Brian, Bri, or Bri Bri. I am a 25-year-old male knitter (26 in January) and live in West Virginia. I am Deaf with a hearing aid in the right ear. I am a self-taught knitter (thank goodness for YouTube and books) and have been knitting for less than a year but I am starting afresh. I've never really completed a project, but I hope my first scarf will be the first project I've completed. My wife's name is Laura and we have three furbabies (Lehi, Charcoal, and Rose).
I plan to take the MHK (TKGA) correspondence course beginning in the next month or so, hopefully. I would like to eventually become a CYC Certified Knitting Instructor as well as a knitting judge (through taking the Certification for Knitting Judges through TKGA).
I am preparing to attend college (online) to get my B.S. in Accounting and then my MBA to be able to become a licensed CPA. I would like to work for the state and get into internal audit to prepare me for my main goal: Forensic Accounting.
If you would like to know anything else, feel free to ask.

The American Motorcyclist Association (AMA) is asking federal lawmakers to include motorcycles in their proposal to help stimulate the economy by providing major tax breaks for anyone who buys a motorcycle.
In a letter dated Feb. 10 to U.S. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) and U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), AMA VP for Government Relations Ed Moreland noted that on-road motorcycles are more fuel-efficient, offer reduced traffic and parking congestion and reduced impacts on roads and bridges when compared to cars and trucks. As such, he said, their use should be promoted and motorcycles should be included in the final federal proposal that is produced by a House-Senate conference committee.
"Motorcycle riders are just as likely as other consumers of automobiles and light-duty trucks to have been hit hard by the economic downturn," Moreland says. "Moreover, motorcyclists typically purchase new bikes, apparel, vehicle servicing and aftermarket equipment from local dealers that are family-owned small businesses.
"This approach is an inclusive and equitable solution that provides much-needed relief to riders as well as those who sell motorcycles," Moreland says.
The AMA asks all motorcyclists to contact their Congress representatives to ask for their support to include motorcycles in Senate Bill 1. An easy way to contact one's U.S. representative is to go to the "Issues & Legislation" section of the AMA Web site at www.AmericanMotorcycist.com.

It's true that Americans are more health
conscious these days, but that awareness seems to wane during the
holidays. Celebratory meals typically include large amounts of
cholesterol in the form of cream, eggs and fatty meats—bad news if
you're concerned about heart disease and other illnesses linked to
high cholesterol counts.
However, with a little vigilance and a lot of herbs you can
significantly cut cholesterol from traditional holiday fare without
sacrificing flavor. This holiday feast is healthy,
mouthwatering proof. Let the celebrating begin!

Reinvesting in Women and Families: Developing an Economy for the Future (Summit October 2010)
Submitted by vivhdem on Tue, 01/19/2010 - 3:46pm
Economic Security Summit
October 8, 2010
Sponsored By:
Experts in research, advocacy, policy, and phillanthropy from across the U.S. gathered to share knowledge on:
- the impact of the economic crisis and economic recovery efforts on low-income women, especially women of color of all ages, their families and other vulnerable communities such as immigrants and LGBTQ people
- the impact of ARRA and other legislation such as the Affordable Care Act on women, working families, and other vulnerable communities
- developing models of measuring succes
By coming together, these thought leaders gained a deeper understanding of the intersecting issues in pathways to economic security for women, working families, and vulnerable communities and identify knowledge gaps.
The Summit aimed to identify pathways to economic security that can inform short-term policy goals over the next few years and shape a future economy that works to end inequities rather than perpetuate them. These pathways will include the roles of key players such as researchers, community organizations, policymakers, funders, and media.
Summit participants proposed policy recommendations and innovative strategies, as well as built collaborations and partnerships.

Love your frocks! colour really suits you - well everything you wear looks great..ReplyDelete
Lychee Martini, YUM! Can't beat a good cocktail, have a great weekend. Elle x
Ah, FF, Lychee Martini's are my absolute favourite beverage, YUM! ( Partial to a Latte Martini too, must admit... Oooh, and a Passionfruit Martini too! I'll just stop there, shall I )ReplyDelete
Quiet home/ family/ chores day today - desperately needed, too
I'm off to Daylesford/ Hepburn Springs with a friend tomorrow
Loving all of your stunning lily pics BUT I do worry when you post lots of garden shots, after you told us that you do that to ward off trolls? Hope that's not a concern for you at the moment, and hope that cocktail party is a blast tonight!
Happy Weekend!
I just love your Bee ring. I'm going to a Hen Party tomorrow so I bet I'll be spending Sunday recuperating.Argo sounds good.ReplyDelete
DVF frock is fab. Plans for us are...swimming lesson, then kid's party, then house tidying and cake making/icing. Tomorrow is christening and associated lunch followed by me collapsing on couch hopefully with a cold beverage. Haven't been to the cinema in a million years must try harder. You are cheering as always FF.ReplyDelete
Dear FF,ReplyDelete
You never cease to brighten my day.
Loving the frocks sick and TNT necklace just screams style.
The beehive gingers are so mesmerising.
Here the man flu is trying to take me but I will not allow it. Have all medicinal groups covered and that with my strong will will ensure that it's gone quickly. Thankfully the two youngest have made a turn for the best - three cheers.
Gathering Christmas produce like a madwoman, there can never be enough in this house.
Have a great day,
Belinda x.
That necklace is great with that DVF dress. I love that you are linking to Jean Brown. Seriously good shopping.ReplyDelete
Must remember to choose Lychee cocktails from now on. I actually had a Lychee Cooler with rum and pineapple juice while in Kauai and it was delicious and full of vitamins I am sure.ReplyDelete
That DVF dress reminds me of elegant tie-die/ombre. It's lovely on you and the necklace looks like it was made for it.
Thank you for the mention, FF!
xo, A
love the DVF. Osso Bucco is like lamb shanks. It's now trendy, so they've hiked the price up. Lamb shanks are practically a delicacy now. We've got the usual saturday of swimming and ballet, then the husband and I are out to dinner as he's off to New York for work next week. Don't think I'll be getting anything exciting though by way of gift or duty free shopping - he only takes carryon, and gets highly stressed when put under pressure to purchase duty free makeup due to confusion over colour numbers/ names etc. Enjoy the party tonight xReplyDelete
Your lilies are Truly Spectacular. As are you. I'd give plenty for a lychee martini just about now...ReplyDelete
Apropos of nothing, I wanted to share that I was thinking of you today as I was pondering what to wear to tomorrow night's school auction fundraiser. I thought of a few ideas and then saw that the invitation reads "business casual". For an evening cocktail thingy! All I could think was that Faux Fuchsia would never stand for such a thing. Business casual, indeed!ReplyDelete
Argo looks fantastic. I went to the cinema this morning and saw Searching for Sugar Man - so fabulous. Have fun at the party xxxReplyDelete
We are hoping to see Argo this week too. I eagerly await your review.ReplyDelete
Baby birthday for us tomorrow. That's pretty much it for weekend activities for us.
K xx
I don't know why osso buco (it has just 1 c) is so expensive.....we should complain.ReplyDelete
I don't know why osso buco (it had just 1 c) is so expensive....we should complain.ReplyDelete
Your DVF frock is an absolute stunner, especially with the necklace. I saw some beehive gingers today, and immediately thought of you :)ReplyDelete
Dear Ms FF, I am glad you don't embrace Casual Friday. Your colleagues and clients must always be delighted to see you as your Coalface look is always so polished. I loved Marsha's comment that you would never stand for 'business casual'. It reminds me of when I, being old in the tooth, was asked to speak to our new grads during their induction week training. The training was held at the University of Canberra because we did not have a sufficiently large venue at work. I was there on the first day and was rather taken aback to see midriffs (complete with stomach piercings, torn t-shirts, shorts and flip flops (there were also thongs but I would have liked to draw a veil over that indiscretion). The gorgeous young things had to be advised that day about appropriate dress for work events (even ones held at a university campus) and what 'business casual' meant at our organisation. Osso Bucco à la WW is a staple in our house - fingers and toes we can afford it when we get home! Hope your weekend is stellar. love LindaxxxReplyDelete

Hello FF and wise FF readership,ReplyDelete
Can anyone suggest a good brisbane thai place for dinner?
My Thai at Auchenflower use to be very good, but can't verify current status.Delete
I have not eaten at all of these places, however the following are often quoted on the net and in reviews as being good:Delete
* Mons Ban Sabai Thai at Camp Hill
* Thai Wi-Rat in Chinatown
* My Thai at Auchenflower and
* Siam Sensations at Nundah which is the one I go to regularly, especially for take away.
I often use Urbanspoon;s website at a starting point too.
Have you seen the new Roberto Cavalli offering at Target? Heavily dominated by sequins and leopard print.. Thought you might approve?ReplyDelete
You have to love a person who thinks a martini is a health food. My current fav is Marzipan Martini from the tapas bar across the street. It's half amaretto and half grapefruit juice - definitely a health food!
You are so inspiring ff. Taking time to always look so well groomed,nails painted, keeping in contact with your friends, gardening, a decluttered home, and lots of home cooking and baking! Tomorrow I think I also will see Argo, my mumsaid it was great too. I worked today so I am free to lol around tomorrow.ReplyDelete
Ah the old "at least it has fruit" ..I said the same thing when I bought (and ate)a cherry danish yesterday.ReplyDelete
The Marlene Berger looks beautiful on you
I agree that the repelling fence around the chrissie tree would be a tad disheartening to the gorgeous effect that you are use to, FF. But I did have an idea that might brighten it up.ReplyDelete
Can you decorate said fence, with Christmas cheer? Maybe sparkly stickers, or some other child-appropriate accessories that would add to the Christmas look.
You look jaw droppingly good on your Kindy Mums night out. I really like that top. And I always say a big yes to a pearl drop earring.ReplyDelete
I think old Osso Bucco is just being a joiner and becoming overpriced like all the other cuts of meat at the butchery.
Daddy R wants to know why he wasn't invited out to drinks with the Orphanage moms? Ha ha. He does drop offs and pick ups and is chummy with all the mommies!ReplyDeleteReplies
It wasn't the Mum's from the baby group our kids are in but Mum's who have older children.Delete
We should organise something before the end of the year.
Osso Bucco-one of my very favourites!! you've just pushed me over the edge into famished. The best bit? The marrow, right?!!ReplyDeleteReplies
I LOVE the marrow!!!! Cook's treat. xDelete
Love your bee ring as always. I would be terrified of knocking off a wing. I completely agree about lychee martinis. Lychee cocktails are rare down here in Canberra which is very silly - after all they use tinned lychees and you can get them everywhere.ReplyDelete
My lily envy of your garden has finally faded, my roses are flowering.

Nvidia OpenCL drivers released for Linux, Windows and MacOS!Posted Monday, 28 September, 2009 - 20:13 by the Fiddler
The driver version is 190.29 and can be downloaded from developer.nvidia.com.
In addition to the core 1.0 API, this driver supports a number of extensions, "which enable significant acceleration across many image processing disciplines". These extensions will be added to OpenTK in the near future.
Personally, I hope to start using OpenCL for signal processing and pattern matching, as soon as Ati releases GPU-accelerated drivers.
Are you planning to use OpenCL in the near future? If yes, for what kinds of projects?
- the Fiddler's blog
- Login or register to post comments
Ok, issue *really* fixed now. OpenCL should work correctly now on Nvidia drivers!
Confirm. VectorAdd working.

One man is in a Charleston, W.Va., trauma center, a woman is in St. Joseph's Hospital and her husband is in jail after a Tuesday night stabbing at a Little Hocking residence.
Athens County Sheriff Patrick Kelly said Daniel Carsner, 51, of 29060 Houston Road, Little Hocking, is facing at least one charge of felonious assault out of the incident. Carsner is being held in Southeast Ohio Regional Jail on $250,000 bond. A preliminary hearing is set for 2 p.m. July 10 in Athens Municipal Court.
According to Kelly, Carsner and his wife, Michelle, 48, were at their residence when Joel Crites, 33, of Charleston, W.Va., arrived at the home around 10:30 p.m. Tuesday. Kelly said Crites is an ex-boyfriend of Michelle Carsner.

"It sounds like this boyfriend came back, there was an altercation, and he was stabbed in the stomach," Kelly said. "During the altercation the wife got cut, too."
Detectives are still investigating, but as of Wednesday, Daniel Carsner was only charged with one count of felonious assault.
Crites was flown by medical helicopter to a Charleston Area Medical Center for treatment for his injuries. A hospital spokeswoman said Wednesday evening that he was still being evaluated.
Michelle Carsner was taken by ambulance to St. Joseph's Hospital in Parkersburg where she was being treated for a cut artery in her arm, Kelly said. A nursing supervisor said Wednesday that Michelle Carsner was in stable condition.
Athens County Prosecutor David Warren said he did not know if self-defense might be argued in the case.
"This is still under investigation, and I don't know all of the details," he said. "I just know two people were stabbed."
The Carsner residence is located about 1,000 feet outside Washington County, near Little Hocking.

Sonnet 146
by William Shakespeare
Sonnet 146 Questions
Bring on the tough stuff - there's not just one right answer.
- What do you think the speaker of Sonnet 146 would have to say about the slang phrase "You Only Live Once"? Would this guy be caught dead wearing a "YOLO" t-shirt to a concert? Why or why not?
- Do you agree with the speaker's argument that we should worry less about materialistic things and pay more attention to our inner spiritual lives?
- Sonnet 146 has a rep for being Shakespeare's most religious poem. Do you think that's true?
- The speaker of this sonnet addresses a "poor soul." Whose soul is he talking to? His own? Or, is he talking to someone else and telling them not to be so shallow?
- When this sonnet was first published (1609), there was a printing error and a phrase from the end of the first line was repeated at the beginning of the second line: "my sinful earth." If you were hired to edit a modern edition of the sonnets, what would you do with this? Would you just leave it like the 1609 edition? Would you omit the repetition? Would you try to come up with the word(s) Shakespeare may have originally intended? What words might you put there?
- Compare this sonnet's final couplet to the last two lines of John Donne's "Death Be Not Proud" (Holy Sonnet 10). What does Shakespeare's poem have in common with Donne's?
- If you were hired to give this sonnet a title (instead of just a number), what would you call it?

Stock to Watch: ATMI, J.C. Penney, Michael Kors
Among the companies with shares expected to actively trade in Tuesday's session are ATMI, J.C. Penney and Michael Kors Holdings
Entegris agreed to acquire ATMI for $1.15 billion, a deal that would combine two semiconductor industry suppliers in Entegris' bid to become a more global leader. Entegris shares surged 17% to $12 premarket, while ATMI rose 25% to $33.76, approaching the offer price of $34 a share.
Furiex Pharmaceuticals said its treatment for diarrhea-predominant irritable bowel syndrome showed simultaneous improvements in stool consistency and abdominal pain in two Phase III studies. The drug developer's shares surged 78% to $82 in recent premarket trading.
J.C. Penney said its same-store sales during the holiday period rose, notching its first quarterly increase in years as the struggling retailer works to turn around its business. Shares edged up 3.5% to $5.88 premarket.
Michael Kors said its fiscal third-quarter profit soared 77% as the retailer benefited from a strong holiday shopping season and revenue crushed market expectations. The company again raised its outlook for the year. Shares surged 20% to $92.15 premarket.
Take-Two Interactive Software dramatically increased revenue and profit in its fiscal third quarter, as continuing strong demand for "Grand Theft Auto V" and other titles helped overcome problems that have hurt competitors. But the company gave a disappointing outlook, which dragged shares down 5.8% to $17.80 premarket.
Yum Brands said its fourth-quarter profit slipped 4.7%, but the parent company of KFC, Taco Bell and Pizza Hut said it is making progress in its efforts to bolster flagging KFC sales in China. Shares climbed 5.2% to $69.60 premarket.
Anadarko Petroleum Corp. swung to a fourth-quarter loss on contingent losses linked to a legal dispute related to the company's 2006 acquisition of Kerr-McGee.
Dunn & Bradstreet Corp. shares fell after the company posted earnings that came in under analysts' expectations, and also unveiled a new management structure.
General Growth Properties said its fourth-quarter profit surged as it reported a higher mall-leased percentage and a bigger-than-expected increase in revenue.
HCA Holdings said its fourth-quarter earnings rose 35% on improved revenue that masked a decline in the hospital operator's same-facility admissions. The company projected earnings for 2014 that were below estimates.
Hologic swung to a fiscal first-quarter loss as revenue weakened, driven by declines in its diagnostics segment, although adjusted earnings and revenue beat expectations.
Lockheed Martin is launching a new civilian version of its C-130J Super Hercules military cargo aircraft that a senior executive said could be available for energy and mining companies to supply remote areas with personnel and equipment by 2018. The company believes there is a market for up to 75 new Hercules aircraft, a model that it stopped producing for the civilian market in 1992.
Principal Financial Group said its fourth-quarter earnings rose 8.6%, touting its strong results for the period amid continued economic concern.

Two bills dealing with newborn children have been signed into law by North Carolina Gov. Pat McCrory.
The bills are among six the governor signed Wednesday. One new law allows authorities to charge someone with murder if the death of a child was caused by injuries suffered in the womb, even if the death occurs after delivery. It's called "Lily's Law," named after a child who died a month after she was born in 2008. Her father was convicted of first-degree murder in the death.
Another new measure would mandate hospitals to administer an inexpensive test that calculates oxygen amounts in the blood of an infant before the child is released from the hospital. The "pulse oximetry" tests can assess a newborn's risk for heart defects.
McCrory signs 2 bills into law related to newborns

Despite having a big year in music, Nicki Minaj didn't receive any Grammy nominations. The 30-year-old had one of last year's biggest hits with the multiplatinum dance-pop anthem "Starships." Her sophomore album, "Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded," has reached gold status and launched other hits on the rap and R&B charts. But Minaj was shunned out when the Grammys announced this year's nominees, though the animated performer earned three nominations last year, including best new artist and best rap album for her platinum debut, "Pink Friday."

It was in 1911 that Yale University professor and explorer Hiram Bingham ventured into the mountainous jungles of central Peru in search of an ancient Inca city.
The object of his efforts was not Machu Picchu, however. He was seeking the lost city of Vilcabamba.
He and his team hiked six days with excavation and camera equipment from the city of Cusco to the town of Aguas Calientes, where he inquired at an inn about local ruins sites. The innkeeper told Bingham about an overgrown complex at the top of the hill that towers over the town. Bingham paid the innkeeper to guide him.
Midway up the precipitous, jungle-choked hill, Bingham's guide stopped and instructed a boy to take the American the rest of the way up. When they reached the ruins site, Bingham found himself on a ridge between two jagged peaks, surrounded by distant snowcapped mountains, 2,000 feet (610 meters) above the raging Urubamba River. The jungle had all but consumed the site, but Bingham could make out multiple stone-covered terraces and walls made of carved granite boulders that proved a city had once stood on this rugged, remote precipice.
Bingham later wrote that "Machu Picchu might prove to be the largest and most important ruin discovered in South America since the days of the Spanish conquest." He was right.
Uncovering the Past
Bingham set up his tripod and camera that day and spent the afternoon photographing. Over the next several months, he and his team cleared jungle from the ruins, uncovering exquisitely built houses, temples, steps, and terraces.
When he returned to America, Bingham wrote a lengthy article about his discovery for National Geographic, which ran accompanied by 250 black-and-white photos and illustrations. An editor's note in that issue called Bingham's discovery "one of the most remarkable stories of exploration in South America in the past 50 years."
Soon after, Bingham was awarded the first grant ever made by the National Geographic Society for archaeological research and exploration. The $10,000 sum was matched by Yale University. Bingham used the money to fund three further expeditions to excavate the site in 1912, 1914, and 1915.
To this day, archaeologists aren't sure why Machu Picchu was built. Some believe it may have been the birthplace of the Inca empire. Some think it was a spiritual or ceremonial center or even a military outpost. No evidence of a formal system of Inca writing exists, so the enigma of Machu Picchu will likely persist.
Bingham eventually did find his original target, Vilcabamba, as well as several other important Inca sites in Peru. But his towering archaeological achievement remains his work uncovering the ruins of Machu Picchu.

JAN 24, 2013 - Real Clear Politics
A Must Read - Share
Samuel Staley, RealClearMarketsCongressional Republicans are seen as the primary obstacles to addressing the nation's burgeoning public debt-now over $16 trillion-but this says more about the deftness of Democratic Party political spin than a real resolution of America's fiscal problems. Republicans have offered a three-month suspension of the debt ceiling, and the White House is likely to go along, but in reality the stand-off will probably continue without a "grand bargain" at least until the mid-term elections in 2014.
The problem is not a lack of political will - it

MARTINEZ -- George Fite, charged with the 2012 machete murder of a homeless man in Crockett, was sentenced to 18 years in prison Friday after accepting a plea agreement just days before his case was to go to trial.
Fite, 20, was charged with killing Daniel Stakenburg with a machete at Stakenburg's elaborate homeless camp and burying his body, which had several slashing wounds, in a shallow grave. Fite, who had been charged with one count of murder, pleaded guilty to manslaughter, said deputy district attorney Simon O'Connell.
Fite, who already has served two years, received 11 years in prison for manslaughter. Seven one-year enhancements raised the sentence to 18 years.
"That's a lengthy prison sentence for a person who had done nothing close to this magnitude up until this time," O'Connell said.
Before sentencing, O'Connell read a letter from Stakenburg's brother, who described his sibling as a good person who was battling substance abuse. Jay Stakenburg said he didn't speak with his brother the final 18 months of his life, but he anticipated a reconciliation and, with the rest of his family, held out hope that Daniel Stakenburg might one day conquer his addiction.
"You robbed us of that hope," Jay Stakenburg's letter read. "You stole from Dan any chance he had at reaching his full potential. Because of your reckless choice you not only killed my brother, you killed my chance to have that conversation."

With the recent demise of XServe (Apple's flagship server product), technology bloggers have been abuzz with speculation that OS X Server must be next on the chopping block. Has Apple completed a mystical transformation into a consumer electronics company, devoid of concern for desktop hardware? Does Apple not care at all about data centers? The answer is resoundingly "no," though the justification for the move is not quite so simple.
Justify Your Existence
Apple knows how to ride a wave. There was a mythical "iPod Halo" posited back in the day when the iPod started to get really successful. The theory went that iPod users would be favorably influenced by their iPod's ease of use and then get an insane desire to buy a Mac, because they assumed it would be just as polished. Scoffers appeared immediately, but slowly faded from sight as iBooks (and later MacBooks) became a staple on college campuses and Apple Stores sprang up around the globe. In this wave of success, the Xserve stands out as a consistent underperformer—Steve Jobs himself said that hardly anybody was buying the Xserve. The Mac Mini server has, according to reports, eclipsed the sale of all other server configurations that Apple offers, meaning the writing is on the wall. Apple is simply staying true to its marketing roots and following the market. Clearly smaller workgroups, like small businesses or embedded Mac-only units within larger businesses are using the Mac Mini as a viable alternative server, so Apple's research and marketing dollars would be better spent improving that offering.
There Can Be Only One
The idea that OS X Server automatically dies without the XServe is ludicrous. Much of what Apple has done with OS X server is simply building a graphical interface onto existing Unix and leftover NeXT networking tools. As proven by the $29 Snow Leopard upgrade, Apple is not looking to generate huge profits from software sales (something that has been immensely profitable for Microsoft with Office and Windows Server products). Assuming the Mac Mini server continues to sell well, it will be in Apple's best interest to keep selling it. There are enough small businesses who need basic network services and do not have their own IT departments, and a slightly modified Mac Mini or Mac Pro is much cheaper for Apple to produce than the XServe, leaving them more money to invest in new OS X Server improvements.
The Xserve also fails to serve any strategic purpose in Apple's product lineup. Rather than delivering an OS X Server iDevice manager, Apple has integrated with Microsoft Exchange, which provides remote device management capabilities. Were Apple to deliver an iOS management console for corporations, it would have to provide a corporate-friendly server solution (read: a box that would easily integrate into a data center). Providing the easiest tools using existing technology is a much better way for Apple to get iOS devices into corporations, rather than trying to preach a new OS and hardware to CIOs around the world.
The Apple of today chooses its battles wisely. For example, by creating enough momentum behind open standards, like HTML5, they have managed to break several Microsoft strangleholds, with Microsoft promising support for HTML5 in future releases of IE. Attempting to design server hardware, an OS, and expecting corporations to add additional staff resources would be an exercise in futility. Apple ceded the desktop war to Microsoft to pursue a much bigger pie in consumer electronics; that market is now expanding into corporate use, and Apple is applying the best strategy to continue that growth. Rather than delivering an arguably better but different solution (think NuBus, AppleTalk, and RISC processor architecture), Apple is choosing a widely available if inferior technology to drive adoption.
Does the Show Go On?
There are a number of ways that OS X Server will continue after the XServe stops being sold. Most obviously, the Mac Pro and Mac Mini will deliver the software to their intended target markets (depending on the intensity of the tasks). That leaves only corporate data centers who need a rack-mountable server with lots of power (meaning that both the bulky Mac Pro and anemic performing Mac Mini are right out).
Given that OS X now runs happily on Intel hardware, it is not all that far fetched that Apple could allow for running OS X Server in a virtual machine. The licensing was relaxed with the introduction of OS X 10.5 to allow multiple copies of OS X Server to run on the same Apple-branded machine; a simple change in the licensing language would make it legal to run the OS on any x86 server hardware. Apple would still profit from the sale of the software, and waste zero dollars building the server hardware. Given that the Apple-built XSAN hardware was retired in favor of allowing XSAN to connect to qualified storage and fibre channel hardware, virtualization is a viable alternative.
Other authors proposed that the demise of the Xserver represents a catastrophe for cash- and tech support-strapped schools, because the XServe and OS X Server represent a significantly cheaper alternative to traditional Windows server licensing. $499 for an unlimited license of OS X Server does indeed represent a great value, but that value has not gone away. And a $2,500 Mac Pro or a handful of Mac Minis end up being cheaper than the $3,000 Xserve, anyway, and such resource-constrained school systems are not likely to care about the loss of the 1U form factor. Focusing on more useful improvements, like better remote administration or innovative student-teacher interaction software would provide more value to the education market than continuing to churn out a loss leader hardware box.
Is the end of the XServe cause for concern? To a select few institutions, yes. If they are completely reliant on the XServe, the bulky Mac Pro or wimpy Mac Mini are simply not viable replacements. But rather than pandering to maintain absolute compatibility and make everyone happy, Apple is chasing a bigger prize. Hopefully, they will come up with a solution for customers who absolutely require a 1U rack mountable system (there is no shame in virtualization, Mr. Jobs), but the demise of this particular piece of hardware does not automatically mean the loss of the software it ran. OS X Server still has viable markets—in fact, the death of the XServe is likely due to its poor sales in comparison with its Mac Mini Server cousin. Apple will kill off products that make little or no sense, but as long as the Mini stays strong, OS X Server is here to stay.
When that product hits end-of-life, there may be cause for alarm…but not before.

They say that "the only thing permanent in life is change," and that may very well be true. But just because change is natural, that doesn't make it any easier – especially for teens. Studies show that adolescents who haven't tried drugs or alcohol are more likely to start during times of transition in order to cope with stress. But don't worry – while change is a part of life, risky behavior, like drug and alcohol use, doesn't have to be. Transitions & Teens: A Guide for Parents has everything you need to know to help keep your child healthy – and even happy! – during transition periods like changing schools, parental divorce, or moving to a new home.
The adolescent brain is particularly vulnerable to the effects of marijuana (and alcohol) as it is in a period of strong developmental growth. Using brain scans, researchers have found abnormalities in areas of the brain that interconnect brain regions involved in memory, attention, decision-making, language and executive functioning skills. These effects can be mild or severe, depending on how long a person used, how much use occurred, what other substances were used, and how vulnerable a particular brain is. Don't wait! Talk to your kids about marijuana use before it's too late.

SANTA CLARA -- Defensive tackle Ray McDonald joined the 49ers practice late for a second straight day, and it's not immediately known if that's related to his early Sunday arrest on domestic violence charges.
The 49ers are expected to issue a participation report by 5 p.m. regarding practice, which was closed to the media after 20 minutes. A team spokesman alerted the media that McDonald took the field shortly after reporters left, and the reason for his tardiness wasn't immediately revealed.
General manager Trent Baalke and coach Jim Harbaugh conversed at the start of practice but it's unknown if their conversation was related to McDonald, who they've insisted will receive "due process" before the organization decides his fate for Sunday's game and beyond.
McDonald practiced the past two days, though he came out 20 minutes late Wednesday after a possible meeting with the team's front office. The Santa Clara County District Attorney's office hasn't announced yet if it will charge McDonald following his early Sunday morning arrest at his San Jose home.
Wide receiver Michael Crabtree returned to practice. A calf injury caused him to miss Wednesday's session and instead work out in the weight room.
Right tackle Anthony Davis was missing a second straight day of practice because of a hamstring strain. Davis hasn't missed a start in his four seasons, but if he does, Jonathan Martin is in line to fill in as he did throughout the exhibition season.

Coen Brothers' music drama 'Inside Llewyn Davis' picked up by CBS
The Coen brothers' upcoming music drama "Inside Llewyn Davis," starring Oscar Isaac, Carey Mulligan and Justin Timberlake, will be hitting screens later this year, as CBS Films has close a deal to acquire the North American rights distribution rights.
"Davis" centers on the 1960s NYC folk music scene, where an aspiring singer-songwriter ("Drive's" Isaac) attempts to launch a Dylanesque career. It also stars Isaac's "Drive" co-star Carey Mulligan and Justin Timberlake.
T Bone Burnett -- who worked on the brothers' "O Brother Where Art Thou?" -- is the film's executive music producer, while Timberlake also contributed to the soundtrack.
Interestingly, the film skipped the traditional film festival route and instead was screened for Hollywood insiders last week. A bidding war inevitable erupted, with CBS coming out on top, picking up "Davis" for a reported sum close to $4 million, according to Deadline.
No release date as yet been set for "Inside Llewyn Davis," but it's assumed that CBS will roll out the film toward the end of the year to capitalize on potential awards buzz. Supporting players include Coen regular John Goodman, Garret Hedlund and Oscar winner F. Murray Abraham.
"Davis" is the Coens' first film since 2010's Oscar-nominated hit "True Grit."
