The Psychopathology of Comics Reading: The Troubled Legacy of Fredric Wertham's Public Health Campaign
May 6th, 2016 • 12 noon • Room C2860
Psychiatrist Fredric Wertham devoted much of his practice in the 1940s and 1950s to the diagnosis and treatment of young people identified as juvenile delinquents. Wertham found that reading comics was a pastime uniting virtually all of his young patients. This discovery of the comics industry led Wertham to advocate for limitations on the sale of comics to children. Dr. Tilley will explore Dr. Wertham's manipulation of the evidence of comics reading.
Gardening with Mother Nature
April 1, 2016 • 12 noon – 1:00 p.m. • Room: C2860
Gardening can be one of the most healthful activities people do, or it can lead to injury and environmental damage – depending on the approach. Gardeners who try to "control" their landscape tend to use (and misuse) a lot of power tools and regularly apply a variety of chemicals "just in case." The other approach is trying to work with nature instead of trying to force our will upon her. That approach, which is gaining traction lately, involves using good care techniques to keep plants healthy, picking better plants in the first place, and treating problems only when the situation warrants.
PRESENTED BY: George Weigel
George Weigel is a garden writer, designer, speaker, Pennsylvania Certified Horticulturist, and as his balding, plant-killing brother likes to put it, a Certified Gardening Wacko. Best known for his "Over the Garden Fence" columns that have appeared weekly in The Patriot-News, since 1993.

Plato's Rooster: The Ties that Bind American Medicine and Capital Punishment
February 5, 2016 • 12 noon – 1:00 • Room C2860
At least since the death of Socrates in 399 BC, the practice and protocols of health care have been conflated with the execution of the death penalty. These entanglements go far beyond the easily recognized (and ethically condemned) participation of physicians at the execution event and involve the predictive, selective, and implementation stages of death sentences.

Leonardo and the Reinvention of Anatomy
When Vesalius started his life journey five hundred years ago, Leonardo Da Vinci's own journey into the human body was symbolically coming to an end. Denounced by a German collaborator for necromancy, he would eventually be barred by the Church from even entering the Ospedale di Santo Spirito under accusations of "heresy and cynical dissection of cadavers". He will never dissect again. Still, Leonardo's work might have actually been known to Vesalius himself, considering that Da Vinci's heir, Francesco Melzi, kept all of his master's notebooks not too far from Padua, and was eager to show them to anyone interested. They might have actually served as inspiration for Vesalius' scenic styles of the Fabrica. This talk will review Leonardo's amazing contributions to the field of anatomy, which are eons ahead of anything available at the time, but that unfortunately remained locked in Windsor's castle for almost 300 years.

The Well-being Benefits of Getting Out on the Trail
Hiking isn't always about pulling down the big miles. Of course, there's the 7,700-mile long Sea-to-Sea Route for those of you interested in maximum adventure. And the highly-praised 1,200-mile Pacific Northwest National Scenic Trail offers outstanding scenery. But hiking is also about smaller things, such as a day hike in your neighborhood park. And one of the greatest pleasures of hiking is the feeling of giving back to the community. There are many ways to understand what it means to be a hiker. And the best advice is, "Hike your own hike."
Presented by: Ron "Pathfinder" Strickland, Ph.D.
Dr. Strickland is one of only two living founders of national scenic trails. Beginning in 1970, he began to create a pathway from the Continental Divide at Glacier National Park, Montana to the Pacific Ocean at Cape Alava, Washington. In 1983 he and his fellow explorer Ted Hitzroth thru-hiked the proposed trail's 1200 miles east to west to publish its innovative guidebook. In 2009, that route was established by Congress as the Pacific Northwest National Scenic Trail. Ron Strickland has also developed new concepts such as the 7700-mile, transcontinental Sea-To-Sea Route. Oregon State University Press published his memoir, Pathfinder.

Re: Joyce A Musical and Literary Irish Christmas
James Joyce's short story "The Dead" is a description of a Christmas party in 1900s Dublin with evocative details of the food and entertainment, the political chitchat, the dancing and the flirtation.

The GMAT is a four letter 'word' that perpetuates fear into many of its takers. However, with proper planning and preparation, you can be successful with the GMAT.
"What if I get a low score?" Please keep in mind that the GMAT is only part of your application. If you did not do as well as you had hoped, there is good news. You are allowed to take the GMAT again and we will look at your BEST overall score (not the individual components). Realistically, you probably will not dramatically increase your score, but if you believe you had a 'bad test day,' you may want to consider retaking the GMAT.
Here are a few tips from mba.com:
- Use the allotted testing time wisely by becoming familiar in advance with the test, the kinds of questions asked, and directions for each section.
- Read all test directions carefully.
- Read each question carefully and thoroughly. Before answering a question, determine exactly what is being asked, then eliminate the wrong answers and select the best choice.
- Once you have selected your answer to a question you will be asked to confirm it.
- Pace yourself so that you have enough time to answer every question. Pay attention to the number of questions and the amount of time remaining during your testing session.
Best of luck, friends!

Lincecum sidesteps hype of matchup with Jimenez
With all due respect to Ubaldo Jimenez, Tim Lincecum isn't heading into today's mega-pitching matchup thinking about the Colorado Rockies' ace — or how he's 9-1 with a 0.88 ERA and might deny Lincecum a third consecutive Cy Young Award.
After three erratic starts, Lincecum's most important battle will be internal.
Plus, the Giants' ace is pretty laid-back, you know.
"I don't think it matters," he said. "It's not really who you're going up against. I can't worry about what he's going to do. Just take my innings by inning. "... Usually I don't get excited for games until I'm in them."
Everyone else is amped, though. Giants closer Brian Wilson said it should be "one of the biggest matchups of the year. "... I'm looking forward to it, and I'm sure America is, too."
Jimenez is pumped, too: "I know it's going to be a big deal because my family keeps calling me to tell me about it. It's in the papers in the Dominican: Ubaldo vs. Lincecum. It's a big game, but it's just another game. I'm not going to change."
Lincecum needs to change, though. He has issued 15 walks over his past three outings, and the Washington Nationals embarrassed him Wednesday while running at will.
Lincecum worked on his slide step during Friday's side session, which he called "completely positive." He said he has no physical restrictions, and he's confident he'll know where his fastball is going.
"I don't think there's any reason to lose confidence," he said. "Failure is all relative to people. Failure, to me, is not putting a guy away 0-2. Those are small failures. Those things add up, and you (nitpick) at it, try to make it better. That's why we're here."

Twitter's Big Earners
Twitter's IPO filing shed light on which employees are the biggest earners.
Topping the list – though not by much – is the CEO. His base salary in 2012 was $200,000 (and was dropped to $14,000 in 2013).
But what Costolo lacks in take-home cash he makes up for in equity. He was granted restricted stock and stock options valued at $11.3 million, lifting his total compensation for last year to $11.5 million.
Christopher Fry
The company's head of engineering earned $10.3 million last year.
The vast majority of his compensation came through a restricted-stock grant valued at $10.1 million.
Adam Bain
The president of global revenue received compensation valued at $6.7 million, most of it through stock and stock options.
Bain was paid a salary of $200,000 and received $200,000 in sales commissions.
Twitter said that directors who are also employees, like Costolo, don't receive any additional compensation for being on the board.

Chris' fourth career effort, while not exactly a concept album, basically revolves around a central theme: detailing the activities that take place in the wee hours of the morning.
The hit single "Aw Naw" along with the title track play perfectly into this scheme and are tailor-made for Chris' soulful country style. But the top tracks on the album are actually the more heartfelt numbers like "Goodbye" and "Text Me Texas," a song that should have every female in America succumbing to its seductive powers.
The album really serves as a showcase for Chris' soulful country voice, highlighted by his signature dips and growls. Few singers in today's genre can match Chris as a pure vocalist, a notion that should be reinforced with A.M.
Chris also continues to improve as a writer, and of the six co-penned songs here, the favorite is "Lighters in the Air," a more picturesque tune than might be assumed from the title.
The only real misses come with "Hold You to It" (can you guess where that's going?) and the generic-sounding "Nothin' but the Cooler Left."
Overall, though, this disproves the popular belief that nothing good ever happens in the a.m. There's plenty of good stuff here.

Despite an abundance of journal outlets, a rising number of published articles, and regular peer review congresses, at least one kind of peer review research appears to be underrepresented. Vying for attention and feeling overlooked, interventional studies aimed at improving peer review and scientific reporting often remain unpublished. Other kinds of research into peer review methods fare poorly, too. For example, studies exploring reporting guidelines, synthesis of evidence, and publication bias also struggle to become part of the biomedical literature.
These sobering findings were reported in a peer review study published March 12 in the Journal of the American Medical Association. In an article entitled "Study Design, Publication Outcome, and Funding of Research Presented at International Congresses on Peer Review and Biomedical Publication," peer review researchers from Croatia and Switzerland scrutinized the content of presentations at their discipline's most prominent meetings. In addition, they investigated how frequently studies presented at the peer review congresses (PRCs) attracted funding or appeared in professional journals. Their analysis took in 614 abstracts that appeared at seven PRCs held from 1989 to 2013.
In their article, Mario Malicki, M.D., of the University of Split School of Medicine, Split, Croatia, and colleagues reported that 39% of studies presented at PRCs have not been fully published. "In our cohort, we were unable to determine whether the underreporting was selective (e.g., favoring positive results) and were not able to determine its causes." According to the researchers, funding was reported in 106 (36%) published articles that had been presented as abstracts at the 1989–2009 PRCs and in 45 abstracts (41%) presented at the 2013 PRC, most commonly from public or charity sources.
With respect to publishing outlets, the researchers noted that no decrease the publishing output of journals has occurred since JAMA ceased its PRC theme issues in 2005. Out of 294 abstract presentations from the first six PRCs that reached publication, 114 articles (38%) appeared in JAMA, 21 (7%) in BMJ, 12 (4%) in Annals of Emergency Medicine, and 8 (3%) each in the Journal of Clinical Epidemiology and in PLoS ONE. The median time to publication was 14 months, when excluding 110 articles in JAMA theme issues.
"Peer review and other editorial procedures have the potential to significantly influence the knowledge base of health care," the authors wrote. "Despite their critical role in biomedical publishing, methods of peer review are still underresearched and lack dedicated funding. Systematic and competitive funding schemes are needed to build and sustain excellence, innovation, and methodological rigor in peer review research."
In a JAMA editorial inspired, in part, by the present study, Drummond Rennie, M.D., of the University of California, San Francisco, and Annette Flanagin, R.N., of JAMA, Chicago, observed that "articles on how to improve research, of which publication is an integral part, are important reminders that no matter how much research on peer review and publication has been presented at the Peer Review Congresses and elsewhere, these studies are but part of a widespread movement to improve the scientific literature. As the reports in this issue of JAMA indicate, discovering the extent of the problems and testing methods to correct them will require a massive and prolonged effort on the part of researchers, funders, institutions, and journal editors."

WASHINGTON -- A charity run by Democratic congressional candidate Marjorie Margolies has spent an unusually large proportion of its revenue on her own salary and benefits, much of it paid for with taxpayer dollars, according to documents on file with the Internal Revenue Service.
The charity, Women's Campaign International, aims to get women into leadership and politics around the world, and has been a central part of Margolies' work since her first term as a Pennsylvania congresswoman ended in 1995. The charity has created programs for women abroad, and after lower funding between 2009 and

Shawn Davis is a senior at Virginia Tech.
He works at the Virginia $1.95 cleaners in Roanoke to pay off the $18,000 in loans he's borrowed from the government.
He is just one of 37 million students in the United States that owes money borrowed to pay for college tuition. By the time he graduates, he estimates he will owe at least $30,000.
"It's going to be tough. You got to get a job and that's a hard thing to find. It's kind of mounting," Virginia Tech Senior Shawn Davis said.
So we did the math. If President Obama signs the lower 3.86% interest rate for undergraduate loans into law, it still will take Shawn more than 17 years to pay back all that debt.
Mary Jean Corriss is Director of Financial Aid at Hollins University. She says it's the students who borrow more than $100,000 or from private companies that can get in the most trouble.
"I would try to stay away from some of the private education loans because some of those interest rates don't have caps on them. If you miss a payment they can jack up really high," Director Mary Jean Corriss said.
She says there are safeguards that prevent the average borrower from sinking from a mountain of debt such as a payment freeze if you find yourself unemployed.
But, what's the best advice Corris can give? Knowing when to say no.
"Some people are used to the big new cars, getting a new cell phone all the time and going on vacations. Just knowing what you can afford and sticking to that," Corriss said.
So which loans does Corriss say you should you choose? Subsidized Stafford loans or federal Perkins loans are your best bet.

On the second leg of my mystery fashion-finding trip around Europe, I headed to this Spanish city—the setting of many a Pedro Almodovar film—where I checked out a fantastic vintage shop that's a favorite of Penelope Cruz's. I also popped by the showroom and studio of local label Peseta, which has, over the past few years, been collaborating with Marc Jacobs on special-edition handbags. And I visited with jewelry and homeware designers Eva Ruiz Romero and Marre Moerel who share a boutique space in the city's trendy Triball neighborhood. Can you guess what city I visited?
That's right! I was in Madrid!
So I'm finally back in New York after a week of mystery-fashion-tripping on an American Express Travel NEXTPEDITION—a tailor-made mystery-vacation created for you based on a free personality test you can take on the company's website. In case you missed it, the first few days of my adventures took me through Rome, where my NEXTPEDITION-assigned mystery activity involved meeting a young American designer Jessica Harris and taking a tour of Monti, an up-and-coming part of the city where lots of young creative people live and work.
Second stop? Madrid, where I met up with Joanna Wivell, a British expat who specializes in custom-tailored tours. My fashion-finding goal for Spain was to find some fantastic out-of-the-way shops, bask in the spirit of Almodovar, find out who cuts Penelope Cruz's hair (she is my hair idol), and meet some cool local girls doing cool creative things. Here's what happened.
My first stop was Peseta (Noviciado 9, peseta.org), a shop-slash-studio in Triball founded by designer Laura Martinez del Pozo.
Laura started out making these elaborate wallet-pouches, above, as gifts for her friends—who loved them so much, they encouraged her to try and sell them. So she went off to New York with a bunch of samples, and within a week sold them to a Japanese buyer who placed a huge order for her store in Tokyo!
These days, Laura creates her bags and accessories from colorful printed fabrics she sources from conventional sources—like Liberty of London—as well as from artisans in developing countries and local textile makers.
The Peseta store—which is adorable—sells Laura's designs as well as batches of fabrics and yarn, just in case you're feeling a bit DIY.
Since founding Peseta, Laura has collaborated with New York's New Museum—creating a series of bicycle caps for the museum's gift shop. She's also in the fourth season of a bag collaboration with Marc Jacobs—whose president, Robert Duffy, stumbled into Peseta's boutique while walking around the neighborhood a few years ago. Here's a video of the latest Peseta for Marc Jacobs bag:
Next, I headed over to see Marre Moerel (Calle de la Luna 19, marremoerel.com) at her studio/gallery a few streets away. First of all, I'm obsessed with Marre's hair. Second of all, I'm obsessed with her work. Marre takes everyday objects—pieces of discarded sculpture, miscellaneous objects, found items, and (most recently) food-animal parts—and repurposes them (or their form, in the case of animal parts) into household objects.
Her latest series is inspired by Spanish food—and includes tableware pieces in the form of kidneys, tongues, and bull testicles. In the history of tableware, she explains, fruits and vegetables have always been popular.
"This pays homage to the meat side," Marre says, pointing out a water jug with a cow tongue-shaped stopper. "I'm interested in changing one material into another—just to see what happens to its shape."
Marre shares her retail space with jewelry designer Eva Ruiz Moreno (ymetal.es), above, whose pieces are intricate conceptual studies of forms and figures that occur in nature.
I'm obsessed with her brooches (I have a thing for brooches)—especially the snowflake, which (I wish I could show you a bigger, more detailed photograph) has a really organic, soft look (like snow) in real life. I also love that brooch to the left of the snowflake—not sure if you can tell, but it's a collection of scarabs and beetles. It's really beautiful.
Over at Guk, brother and sister team Angel Sanchez and Montse Sanchez run a two-level shop that's dedicated to Scandinavian designers. Yup—if you're thinking that the Nordic aesthetic is pretty much in diametric opposition to the mainstream Madrid aesthetic, you'd be right. But in this neighborhood, the Sanchez siblings tell me, lots of young people—and even some older women—are looking for something a little bit different.
So at Guk it's all about blonde wood, simple silhouettes, and Scandic sleekness.
Out of all the stores I visited on my shopping tour of Madrid, my absolute, hands-down favorite one was a double-store—one store with another store inside—called Femisa Objetos Perdidos (Corredera Baja de San Pablo 8, corachanydelgado.com), which houses a mindblowing vintage shop called Corachan y Delgado in the back.
Owned and operated by Bernardo Corachan and costume designer Paco Delgado, the bi-level retail space sells cool vintage pieces (check out these gorgeous hair combs from the 1940s, below!) alongside covetable modern home and office items (this place is notebook heaven—if you're a notebook obsessive like me, you will love it here).
The lower level of the shop serves as a warehouse of vintage that Corachan and Delgado rent out to film productions—Delgado himself is a major costume designer who's worked on films such as Almodovar's Bad Education, Biutiful, and the most recent The Skin I Live In.
In fact, if you've seen The Skin I Live In, there's a vintage clothing shop that's featured in the movie—that's Corachan y Delgado's previous location.
For sale vintage pieces include mint garments by Balenciaga and Pucci. Penelope Cruz (my hair idol) is a loyal customer.
So, side note, I have this theory that if you go to a store, and there are adorable dogs at the store, that store is usually a good store. I don't know why, but this theory hasn't been proven wrong yet. Anyway, here are Corachan y Delgado's two adorable Yorkies: Vincent and Pepito—Vincent is Pepito's dad and, funnily enough, half Pepito's size. They are so cute, I almost died. Here's Vincent:
And his boy Pepito:
If you're ever in Madrid, I highly highly recommend stopping by Corachan y Delgado to do some major shopping—and to play with the cute dogs!

I have had to leave behind the people who were draining me, pulling me down. Yes, there was some guilt, but I would have felt greater guilt had I allowed them to continue holding me away from my dreams.
Sometimes you may feel the path you have chosen is a lonely one. It is better to be lonely and journeying towards an end goal, then to be part of a group that is without an aim, as you hurtle down the passage of time rapidly towards your death.
The mind is your garden. Tend to it well and it will yield a harvest of the most celebrated flowers.

Go Fish: Poker Isn't Protected By 1st Amendment, Appeals Court Finds
Updated: Jeffrey A. Hoerter, a lawyer for the poker club, said he would consult with his clients about the appellate court's decision, but didn't believe they would pursue a review of the decision by the full circuit. However, he said that the speech and the association of people getting together and socializing is protected activity. "Even if there is minimal First Amendment activity, it must be protected," Hoerter said.
A federal appeals court dealt a losing hand Friday to a New York State poker club.
The U.S. Second Circuit Court of Appeals rejected arguments that the activities of AK Tournament Play, a defunct recreational poker club in Wallkill, N.Y., isn't protected assembly under the First Amendment. The club hosted Texas Hold-Em poker tournaments.
In a summary order Friday, the appeals court agreed with a lower court finding that the poker club's lawsuit against the town of Wallkill should be dismissed. Wallkill is about 77 miles north of New York City.
"Even assuming arguendo that there might be some circumstances under which a poker club's activities could involve sufficiently expressive or political content to merit protection under the First Amendment, plaintiff's conclusory and vague complaint fails to set out facts from which a court could draw that conclusion here," the appellate court found.
The poker club had alleged that the town unsuccessfully tried to condemn a portion of the commercial space it occupied in 2007 and and engaged in additional "threatening and coercive conduct." The club, which at one point had 130 members, discontinued its activities after its membership dwindled following the town's conduct, according to the lawsuit.
A lawyer for the poker club declined comment Friday, saying he had yet to see the court's order.

Bison Roll Over
Next to Moose & Griz, Bison fill my files more than any other mammal. Them "Shaggy dogs" just suck me in every time! The challenge is always to get something new, though what "new" might be until you're in front of them is often a question mark in the process. This was my first opportunity to photograph Bison with the D4, that was what I was going to start with as my "new" this time out. May in the Black Hills of South Dakota is a great time. Especially at Custer State Park where the Bison are dropping their calves.
The herd is always on the move, even during calving season. It's pretty simple biology, a whole bunch of mouths to feed and only so much grass. The system is pretty cool though because the Bison never mow down one spot to nothing. In a very generalized looking at a week of grazing, the Bison tend to be back at the same spot within 8 days. You could easily think of them as walking lawn mowers and the prairie responding to them like your lawn. It's pretty simplistic compared to the color of them calves. I mean really, orange? They can walk almost seconds after birth and run within an hour, all to avoid predators. So you'd think with that evolution, they would have come up with a better color than orange. Photographically of course, the color is very cool. And watching calves, you can't help but get hooked on Bison! On this morning, we were fortunate to be in the right spot as the herd, on the move came up a valley and rolled over the ridge and down in our direction at sunrise. It's just one of natures' great spectacles!
Shooting with a D4 , 200-400VR2 with TC-20E III mounted on a Wimberley / Gitzo, I wanted to see if I could do some fancy zooming while shooting. Getting more serious about my video, this is the first time I used the DP-6 which makes a HUGE difference in following action and smoothly. Shooting my first time with this rig, I was happy with the results but know a year later, they can get way better! This is an edited down from the 2hrs of video shot to just 4min. I did the editing on the iMac with all the vid residing on the ioSafe N2 and doing the editing right in Premiere Pro CS7. I wanted to convey the sweep of the herd coming over the ridge and down in front of us, kind of a "How the West was Won" kind of feel. I didn't get it. I needed to be shooting with more than one camera. When I do it again, one thing I'll seek is permission from the Rangers to drop some GoPros out on the ground. Mother Nature is just amazing!

Show Setlist
this is a pretty solid show. it is definitely different for this era of phish. the first set is pretty standard '94 phish. maze and reba shine. the debut of scent of a mule is a good time. the second set is chalk full of fun debuts and good playing. down with disease and if i could debut to open the second set. down with disease, of course, is not quite the jam vehicle it would become. it was still a work in progress. buried alive brings out the horns and they really rock this one and the land lady. julius debuts and they are rocking with the horns. this show is slightly lacking in good jams, but this soa melt does not dissapoint. the horns are phish are locked in and they blast this one. wolfman's debuts next, and this, for a long while, was the best one, imo. the horns add to this one nicely, and they tack on a short but nifty jam on this one. i wanna be like you is absolutely hilarious before oh kee>suzy closes this one out in fine form. the hood encore was great and the cavern that follows feels like a nice little surprise/bonus. great show. check out the hoist debuts and a rocking melt.

I was following this tutorial and want to manually create a unique page, as if I were just html/css'ing a static page but pull in a loop from a specific category.
The tutorial says to just copy and paste your themes index.php page, and to "make it writeable by the server" and has a link to the wordpress.org page about file permissions, which I'm not going to lie is entirely over my head. Is there any sort of "for dumbies" tutorial how to go about doing something like this? Thanks.

City and State Award Job Retention and Creation Program...
NYCEDC President Seth W. Pinsky and ESDC Chairman & CEO-designate, Dennis M. Mullen announced a $1.2 million grant.
New York City is the world's most sophisticated and diverse financial center, boasting the deepest capital pools, the finest international talent, and an administration that is committed to strengthening the city's financial base.
Operating in New York City offers unparalleled benefits such as:
On February 18, 2009, Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg announced 11 initiatives to help support New York City's financial services sector and allow it to grow as a global center for innovation and entrepreneurship.
The initiatives are aimed at retaining and expanding the cluster of businesses and institutions that have made the City the global financial services capital, while simultaneously fostering new ideas that will keep the city competitive for decades to come. Download the press announcement for more information on the study and Mayor's announcement below.
Financial Services Revitalization Plan
The City will work with established and emerging financial services utility companies to help them capture business in growing areas such as carbon trading.
The City will also seek out new utility firms and work with them to identify appropriate space for their operations and together with the State, will design the Lower Manhattan incentive program to target utility firms specifically.
As a continuation of the efforts by Mayor Bloomberg and Senator Schumer, Deputy Mayor Lieber, and NYCEDC President Seth Pinsky have been tasked to work with the Financial Services Advisory Committee to understand New York City's most pressing regulatory needs and report back to Mayor Bloomberg and Senator Schumer with latest updates.
The City created an ongoing Financial Services Advisory Committee led by Deputy Mayor Lieber that met monthly through 2009 to maintain a dialogue between City Hall and the industry.
The Committee discussed industry developments and tracked the ongoing value and effectiveness of these and other initiatives.
The City conducts an ongoing international recruitment campaign focused on attracting retail banks, commercial banks, and insurance companies headquartered in China, India, and other developing financial markets.
The campaign began with a trip to Beijing, China in June 2009, where NYCEDC representatives attended the International Institute of Finance Conference and met with Chinese business leaders.
In March 2010, a team from NYCEDC accompanied Deputy Mayor Lieber and a City business delegation on a trip to London. During the trip, the team held numerous one-on-one and round table discussion, met with over 100 of international stakeholders from public and private sectors, and identified several strategic collaboration opportunities.

Re: Be A Better Writer--ASK ME ANYTHING
Jan, I have been meaning to ask you about speech tags. It is my understanding that it is best to avoid their use. Instead, show who is speaking by describing their actions or perhaps by a distinctive dialect.
If this is correct, are there occasions when a speech tag is necessary? And if we do use a tag, is it best to use "said"? Or is it best to use a more descriptive tag such as "whispered" or "shouted"?
Finally, am I correct in thinking that tags such as "she laughed" or "he smirked" shouldn't be used as tags, because we can't literally laugh or smirk our words.
Please forgive me if you have covered this topic in an earlier lesson. I scrolled through the threads but didn't see it.
(While writing this post, I've googled comma usage about five times. Still not sure they are correct. )
Cinnamon Bear
Re: Be A Better Writer--ASK ME ANYTHING
This is as much a question of style and preference as one of correctness--some people like to use speech tags, and some people avoid them altogether. Most like to use a combination of speech tags and "action" tags (or no tags at all).
Most readers skip over speech tags, so it's best not to get too fancy. I'd say that you should very rarely--if ever--use a speech tag + an adverb, like this:
"That brownie was delicious," Jan exclaimed enthusiastically.
It's better to use Jan's actual words to show the reader how she felt about the brownie, rather than using to words that inform the reader.
"That brownie must have been made by the best pastry chef in the world!" said Jan.
If you're going to use speech tags, you'll find many writers and editors who recommend sticking to "said" for the most part. Again, let the character's words show their emotion. There are times when you just have to use a "muttered" or a "whispered," but they should be relatively rare.
If you're going to use "laughed" or "smirked" or some other word that isn't a kind of vocalization, it's best to put it in its own sentence: an action tag.
WRONG: "This brownie is simply outstanding," Jan gulped, licking her fingers.
RIGHT: "This brownie is simply outstanding." Jan gulped the last bite, then licked her fingers.
Note the punctuation, too. If there's a dialogue tag at the end of a sentence and it contains a "said"-type word, use a comma inside the end quotes. If it's a complete sentence, use a period.
Re: Be A Better Writer--ASK ME ANYTHING
Thanks, Jan. That clarifies things for me.

Catherine, I don't have an answer for you, but I do have a suggestion--maybe if you make this question its own post and put it in the 'General Writing Discussion' forum, you'll reach the notice of someone with experience with Pro Writing Aid.
I will say that Grammarly doesn't seem to have slowed my computer at all, so maybe the problem is with your computer?

Food Festival Steers New Yorkers Beyond Chicken Tikka
By Aarti Virani
If the scent of roasted cumin wafts over Manhattan this week, it's thanks to the Second Annual Varli Food Festival.
On April 5, the city's Metropolitan Pavilion will host over 60 Indian restaurants and 20 celebrity chefs for a gourmet carnival complete with cooking demonstrations, tastings, a silent auction and the pièce de résistance, a spice market, all in the name of delivering Indian food to the people.
"Last year's response was overwhelming, which is why we've decided to go three times bigger this time," said Varli Singh, founder and publisher of VARLI Magazine, the event's chief organizer. With an expected attendance of nearly 1,500, this year's festival features a constellation of high-profile gourmands including Suvir Saran, Vikas Khanna and Master Chef Sanjeev Kapoor.
While New York City's three Michelin-starred Indian restaurants confirm the cuisine is a formidable player in the Big Apple's fine-dining scene, Ms. Singh and her supporters are committed to showcasing Indian food's broad range, a concept that is sometimes overshadowed by the predominance of North Indian flavors.
"There's much more to it than chicken tikka masala," said Ms. Singh. "The recognition of Indian food's diversity is long overdue in this country." It's a sentiment that many festival participants like Maneet Chauhan, executive chef at Vermillion, can relate to.
"When I came to the States back in 1998, I would ask people to go out for Indian food and they'd be like, '$8.95, all-you-can-eat?'" Ms. Chauhan recalled.
At Vermillion, Ms. Chauhan melds Indian and Latin flavors, resulting in an eclectic fare that is heavy on the heat. "I've had the classical training," she said. "If you ask me to make a mean béchamel sauce tomorrow, I will. But I choose not to because what's added to my repertoire is my heritage and I want the entire world to love it."
Though Ms. Chauhan enjoys the many cameos that South Asian ingredients now make at posh eateries in New York City—"you see small things like a Madras curry emulsion or cardamom flavored gelée," she explained—she'd like to see Indian food attain ubiquity across the U.S. and eventually claim grocery store counters in middle America.
"Given time, it would be amazing to see Indian food seep into the mainstream culture here," she said, adding that Varli can contribute to that. India Real Time has more.

Former Delta State star quarterback Scott Eyster tried out for the Jacksonville Jaguars Sunday, but was not signed by the team.
Instead the Jaguars signed former Number One draft pick Tim Couch to a two-year contract.
Couch will get a chance to revive his career as a backup to quarterback Byron Leftwich.
Couch, the top pick by Cleveland in 1999, hasn't played a down in the NFL since the 2004 preseason.
Jacksonville coach Jack Del Rio wanted to take a look at the former Kentucky star, who had shoulder surgery last year.
The Jaguars needed another quarterback in training camp because third-stringer Quinn Gray has an ankle injury and is on the physically unable to perform list.
The Jaguars also have backup David Garrard and undrafted rookie Lester Ricard.
Eyster and Sam Hollenbach from Maryland worked out alongside Couch Sunday, and the Jaguars struck a deal with Couch after a physical.

ibis Caen Herouville Savary - hotel reviews in Caen
Hotel code: 0605
Accorhotels.com customer reviews in partnership with TripAdvisor
"OK for an overnight stay"
2nd September 2013, FamilyGWales, Wales
Hotel is well placed for easy access to and from the Caen Peripherique and the ferry port. That said, it isnt the easiest to find. You either need a sat nav or to have double checked it on Google maps first. Also check out the reverse route back out, the mini-slip road is very easy to miss !!The hotel is fine in the communal areas, rooms themselves are adequate but just a bit tired. All rooms have a double bed. If you wish an extra bed for a child make sure you have 3 people booked in the room otherwise you will be expected to share the double. My teenagers rebelled at this. Our second booking had 3 people booked into the room but only two turned up ;) Thus teen had his own bed. The trundle beds are notably shorter than a full bed and are apparently less than comfortable. OK for a night, but any longer wouldnt really be acceptable. Free wifi for 24 hours, but intermittent. Breakfast is expensive for what you get. Better to eat elsewhere. Easy 2-3 mile trek to Mondeville and shopping / restaurants there for evening meal although hotel does "provide". BBC worldservice on tv otherwise all French channels as expected. Parking is free, plentiful and secure. The hotel is average for an overnight, towards the poorer end for a longer stay. The location (once you find it) is handy, but nothing in immediate vicinity to walk / eat etc. Car needed.
"Overnight stay"
18th August 2013, Sky536, Porthcawl, United Kingdom
Stayed one night only (early ferry crossing), very tired hotel, quiet location, good car park, rooms very small and very basic, air conditioning not working, lock on the door broken, no hairdryer, children's bed put in the room, which took all floor space, i do like the ibis hotel chain normally but I would not recommend this hotel or stay there again.
7th August 2013, 403BRITINFRANCE, EYE
This is a typical IBIS Hotel surrounded by trees in a residential area to block the view to a sports centre. It is easily accessible being well signposted from the motorway. The Hotel is pet friendly with a reasonable 5 Euro charge. Rooms are fairly standard with free wi-fi. Dinner menue was limited but reasonable quality and value for money. Breakfast was acceptable having been prepaid and the staff were friendly and efficient.
"Big & Clean Rooms"
5th August 2013, Wong27, Hong Kong, China
Good for stop-over with good location and convenient location (carrefour & cheaper petro). Also good services and helpful staff. We stayed at the first floor and rooms are very clean and big enough. Staff are also very friendly and helpful. Overall good ratings.
"A recommended small hotel"
11th July 2013, passerby235, Guildford, United Kingdom
Ideally located for a short stay with excellent major road access. The rooms were basic but of reasonable area and very clean with sufficient towels etc. The beds were comfortable.The reception staff were pleasant and efficient. The small restaurant provided a good and substantial self-service breakfast (although apparently without the faciltiy for cooked eggs etc). It also provided evening meals which, whilst not sampled by the reviewer, appeared to be quite adequate particularly for the guest not wanting to go further afield after a long journey.There was also a well stocked bar at reception. The only comment was that the safety chain on the bedroom door was ineffective in operation but the receptionist took proper note of this fault, and it was felt that she would follow this up.All in all a good overnight stop with reasonable and well priced facilities.
"Simple clean hotel on outskirts of Caen."
1st July 2013, firefly624, London, United Kingdom
This is the second time I've stayed at the hotel, which is very easy to get to from the motorway and is the 'right' side of Caen for the Normandy beaches.The hotel is simple but clean, and the staff were all friendly despite my poor French! They even arranged to get us some stamps, a really nice touch.The evening food is quite simple but very tasty and reasonably priced. The only thing I probably wouldn't bother with again is the eat-all-you-like breakfast which isn't really worth the money.In summary then, a simple, quiet, clean, and friendly hotel. I'd happily stay again.
"Good for safe parking and bus stop to City."
29th June 2013, LedburyWanderer, Ledbury
Cheap but not cheerful. This is the worst of many Accor Hotels we have stayed at. The outside welcome is one of litter and cigarette ends (which would take half an hour to tidy up). Customer service not a priority - staff too busy with their own chores. No town plan available for tourists, other than a poor photocopy. The plus point is safe out of town parking, and a bus stop right outside the hotel for a trip to the city. I guess tourists are not a priority, but it would not take much effort to smarten the place up, and cater for tourists.
"Room too small for 2+1; Air con required!"
18th August 2012, Norwich, United Kingdom
Location for our brief (2 night) stay was fine, but we were a couple with one child and the child's bed took up most of the spare space in the room including blocking access to the window and desk/dressing table. We should have been given a larger room, or alternatively (i.e. if all rooms are the same size) either been advised of the lack of space or told that there were no suitable vacancies.Hotel generally OK, breakfasts good, but this is not a place to stay in hot weather due to the lack of A/C and proximity to the noisy main road if you need to keep the window open!
"Ibis hotel"
2nd July 2012, Lincoln, United Kingdom
Basic, no frills hotel, but you know what you are getting, quite expensive for what it is. But at least you can get a meal and breakfast, ideal for a night or two.
These prices may be based on different room types. Depending on the country, these prices may not include taxes, may include VAT only or may include all taxes (VAT and city tax). When prices do not include all taxes, the relevant taxes (VAT and/or city tax) will be stated in the following stages of the reservation process. The price is only guaranteed at the time of reservation.

Bias is a Persistent Hurdle for Women in Sciences
The report found ample evidence of continuing cultural bias. One study of postdoctoral applicants, for example, found that women had to publish 3 more papers in prestigious journals, or 20 more in less-known publications, to be judged as productive as male applicants.
The report also found that girls have less confidence in their math abilities than boys with equivalent achievement levels. Because most people choose careers where they believe they can do well, the report said, girls' lesser belief in their skills may partly explain why fewer young women go into scientific careers. Both the university women's report and the Bayer survey stress the need for more female mentors and role models.
But even as women earn a growing share of the doctorates in the STEM fields, the university women's report found, they do not show up, a decade later, in a proportionate number of tenured faculty positions.

Good location, good breakfast, friendly staff, clean room.
The rooms were much nicer than the outside and common areas.
We arrived at 11:00 p.m. and there was no staff to be found anywhere in the hotel and no one answering the phone. 20 minutes later the front desk clerk wanders in the front door from the parking lot.
One of the first things I did was touch the small TV in the bathroom when I fell off its mount, bounced off the counter, and then onto me. Luckily, my foot broke the fall and the TV was all right. I called the front desk and a pleasant young woman said she would call her manager and the facility person, who was also very nice and professional. I circled back with the front desk and the clerk said her manager would credit me an insulting $40 dollars. I asked to call her manager, who was not working that day, and spoke with an awful, condescending, defensive general manager. Instead of comping my room, apologizing, and thanking me for my business, (and tortlessness), she threatened to have me thrown out for pressing the issue.
It was very clean.
The size of the room. The breakfast. The Location. Fitness Room & Pool.
Didn't have hardly any hot water when I took a shower. The Wi-Fi was very poor.
The house was absolutely beautiful and well kept! The owner is very hospitable and caters to your needs. The breakfast is amazing and will fill you up for hours. You can't pass up this opportunity!
The staff is extremely friendly and willing to help in any way they can.
Room got cold toward morning
Good location. We were on the 3rd floor and had a great room (size). Free internet worked well.
The breakfast is meager but doable. We were first put on the 1st floor. Room was small but ok. We went to use the bathroom and the fan was loud and broken. Unacceptable. Our room was switched with no problem.
Here's why:
We're not the seller.
At KAYAK we don't set the prices, so it's not possible for us to guarantee what other companies are selling.

Our service lets you quickly and easily compare results from hundreds of travel sites at once. In this sense, KAYAK is a search engine and we can't guarantee prices we find.
Why aren't prices accurate 100% of the time?
Prices on airline seats, hotel rooms and car rentals can change frequently. Several people may also be trying to buy the same travel option simultaneously. As a result, you may find, on occasion, that certain prices are no longer available.
