Why It Pays to Go Steady With a Venture Capitalist
Keep your friends close. And keep your VC closer.
That's part of what's enabled Robert Langer, a scientist at MIT, to get so many of his ideas financed commercially. As Rebecca Buckman describes in her story today, Mr. Langer and his friend and business partner, Terry McGuire of Polaris Venture Partners, have launched 13 companies in the past 15 years and become a model for others racing to commercialize their new drug and medical-device research.
The relationship gives Polaris first dibs on cutting-edge medical technology developed in Mr. Langer's labs. It also gives Mr. Langer an inside track to funding and a trusted partner to lean on while he's fine-tuning his ideas.
That's like gold for an entrepreneur, particularly an academic one unaccustomed to the fast-paced networking needed as a start-up. Health start-ups typically boast complicated technology that requires a trusted financial partner with patience and an understanding of the science.
Of course the majority of enterpreneurs don't have the luxury of being able to choose among several VC suitors. A broader movement is afoot to connect entrepreneurs, particularly those outside the tech world, with like-minded financiers. Several online tools and regional programs are working toward that goal. And more VCs are looking to back companies whose founders they know personally.
Many savvy serial entrepreneurs wind up forging deep relationships with their initial venture backers and return to them on their second and third venture. It's smart business in a time where capital markets have slowed for start-ups. Having one real "VC friend" in your hand to help ride out the wait is worth several acquaintances in the bushes.
What's been the best (or worst) relationship you've ever had with a venture capitalist? Or if you're a VC, do you prefer working with entrepreneurs you have a track record with?

H&M Fumbles On Facebook
By Jens Hansegard
Swedish clothing retailer H&M is in hot water over its clumsy response to threats posted on its Facebook page against a woman who criticized the clothing retailer's decision to sell a sweatshirt bearing the image of the late rapper Tupac Shakur.
A 21-year old customer posted on the company's Facebook page that she thought it was inappropriate for the clothing giant to make a sweatshirt with a print of late rapper Tupac Shakur, given that the rapper was convicted in 1995 of sexually abusing a woman.
The Facebook thread quickly filled up with nasty, threatening comments directed at the 21-year old woman, threats that included comments wishing that the 21-year old would be raped, hanged and drowned. Soon, the post had attracted more than 2,800 comments, including one comment that included the 21-year old's home address.
The Facebook attacks and H&M's response were the subject of a report on a Swedish television program.
H&M made one comment during the deluge of vicious threats and encouraged commenters to use civilized language, adding that they would remove comments that were unpleasant or contained swear words. But they didn't.
The 21-year old said she was deeply disappointed that the company allowed the threats and hateful comments to remain on its Facebook page.
According to the Swedish television report, the comments could still be read on the company's Facebook page a full month after the initial posting.
H&M has since removed the comments and apologized, and says it should have reacted much quicker. The company also posted an apology on its Facebook page where hundreds of commenters now proclaiming that they will no longer shop at H&M.
Tupac Shakur, who was killed in 1996, has millions of fans around the world. In 1995, he was sentenced to prison after being charged with sexual abuse in 1993.

Gamers Can't Connect To "Titanfall" And They Are Not Happy
The first "next-gen" game is plagued by a very last-gen problem.
Titanfall, the new multiplayer shooting game for the Xbox One, officially opened its doors to thousands of eager gamers this morning at midnight. While the game has been the subject of a massive advertising and press coronation as the first new thing in the genre in a very long time, the early hours of the launch have been marred by very old problems.
Dozens of frustrated gamers have taken to Twitter to voice their displeasure and frustration with their inability to connect to the game's servers.
Frustrated gamers have started to turn that "Connecting" screen into a series of jokes. Images of the screen with titles like "How To Play Titanfall", "This Gameplay Is Truly Incredible", "Game of the Year Material" are rising to the top of the influential r/gaming subreddit.
Of course, launch snafus due to overtaxed servers are nothing new: In the past year, both SimCity and Grand Theft Auto Online experienced major problems due to a massive influx of users at launch. And these kind of capacity issues aren't unique to gaming; the crush of people trying to watch the finale of True Detective on Sunday crashed HBOGo.
Both Microsoft and Sony sold their new consoles on the promise of a new, always-connected, increasingly social age of gaming. But as the problematic launch of the first truly massive release for this new generation of consoles shows, getting everyone excited isn't the problem; it's getting everyone who is excited into the game.

MILFORD, Pa. — Chris Street braved the wind, the cold temperatures and fatigue to raise $22,673 for the Salvation Army.
Street spent 24 hours straight — ending Saturday at 7 p.m. — outside the Walmart, ringing a little bell beside the donation kettle.
"I'm pretty exhausted," said Street, who said he hadn't slept for a total of 33 hours.
His wife, DeAnna Street, said $12,673 was collected during Chris's marathon fundraiser, and that Salvation Army headquarters would add $10,000 to match the first $10,000 of the amount he raised. She said the Salvation Army drive would continue after Christmas.
Street said encouragement from visitors — and the bone-chilling winds — helped keep him awake for the long haul.
Street said that after returning home, he planned to take a nice, hot bath; read a book — and get some much-needed sleep.

Patriotic parade in Lakewood Ranch honors military
Published: Wednesday, May 22, 2013 at 9:03 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, May 22, 2013 at 9:03 a.m.
For the fifth year, patriotism is a priority this weekend in Lakewood Ranch.
Hundreds of people are expected to attend the Memorial Day parade, which will be from 5 to 9 p.m. Sunday on Main Street.
"It is really to remember all our fallen heroes. Freedom isn't free and this is just a day to honor those we have lost or those who have sacrificed for us," Lakewood Ranch Community Activities Director Lori Basilone said.
Participants in the parade will include people currently serving in the military and veterans, who will be riding in cars. Children can register bicycles, scooters, skateboards and wagons and participate in the Decorated Bike Contest.
Along with the parade, there will be music, food, a performance by the Lakewood Ranch High School band and a dove release.
Manasota Operations Troop Support, a local organization that helps troops stationed overseas, will ask for donations as well as thank-you notes for the troops. All the proceeds will go to MOTS, which is creating care packages for the troops with the notes tucked inside. Donation suggestions include socks, razors, wet wipes, peanut butter, beef jerky and AAA or AA batteries.
"Never forget. These guys and gals are out there risking their lives so we can sit here and have a cheeseburger and cold beer. Sometimes you forget there are other things going on in the world," event co-founder John Brenner said.
For more information, email Brenner at firstname.lastname@example.com or email founder Gene Sweeney at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Tonight my friend Dick provides the guest review, and I must say I am not too upset about having missed this one.
I am not typically a big fan of fruit-flavored beer, I kind of deviate from my friends in that regard. This fact also allows for the continual ability to tease them unrelentingly about their "feminine" choices of beverage. I mean, let's face it...this beer looks it could double as a Fuzzy Navel wine cooler!
Oh, and his taste in music sucks too - You'll see
Haha! Let's see what Dick thinks...
For this review I must begin by building a bit of a back story! All "late-20 somethings" remember the Alternative rush that flooded the adolescent culture in the mid-to-late 20th century. Bands such as GreenDay, Weezer, and Nirvana were all producing top 40 hits (those were good days). One such band was "The Presidents of the United States of America". One of my favorite songs by this 3 or 4 hit wonder (actually two-time Grammy nominated) was, "Peaches". One of the more famous lines of this song was, "Millions of peaches, peaches for me. Millions of peaches, peaches for free." When I saw RJ Rockers "Son of a Peach", I immediately thought of this song and hummed it all the way to the register.
Now, in my experience, I have either had a wonderful experience with fruit-flavored brews or I thought I was eating some sort of expired Halloween candy! RJ Rockers "Son of a Peach" Wheat Ale lends itself to the former, rather than the latter. This 5.8% ABV has a wonderfully strong peach aroma. It boasts a golden peach color, thin, but present cream head. This unfiltered wheat has lots of yeast particulates in the glass. This brew builds with the best of them! It begins with a bit of a watery, weak start, but builds to a fairly intense, but not overbearing, peach sweetness and moves toward a sourness. I thought this brew was fantastic! Even though I could not sit and drink this by the case, I could easily enjoy 2 in a row, which would be 2 more than the Festina Peche by Dogfish! Pick up one, try it, and let me know what you think!
P.S. - Just kidding, Dick. Don't get your panties in a bunch!

If he doesn't win it, the award ain't worth spit.
Mets are considering pushing back Jacob deGrom's next start
The Mets are concerned with starter Jacob deGrom and are considering pushing back his next start, MLB.com's Anthony DiComo reports. The club thinks the right-hander is fatigued.
deGrom, 28, has had another strong season, currently standing with a 2.96 ERA and a 137/32 K/BB ratio in 143 innings. However, he's battled command issues in his last two starts. Against the Giants and Cardinals, he gave up a combined 13 earned runs on 25 hits and three walks with eight strikeouts in nine and two-thirds innings.
The Mets are already without Steven Matz, Zach Wheeler, Matt Harvey, and Jon Niese. deGrom's recent bout is just the latest in what has been a season-long starting pitching struggle for the club. Nevertheless, only the Cubs (2.85) and Nationals (3.57) have posted a better aggregate starting pitching ERA than the Mets' 3.66.
Rangers call up Carlos Gomez, designate Drew Stubbs for assignment
The Rangers have called up outfielder Carlos Gomez from Triple-A Round Rock and designated outfielder Drew Stubbs for assignment, Evan Grant of the Dallas Morning News reports. Gomez is in Thursday night's starting lineup against the Indians, batting eighth and playing left field.
Gomez, 30, put up a paltry .210/.272/.322 triple-slash line in 323 plate appearances for the Astros. That forced the Astros to designate him for assignment before eventually releasing him earlier this month.
In 14 plate appearances with Round Rock, Gomez racked up two singles, a double, and a triple. The Rangers hope he can fill the void left by Shin-Soo Choo, who is expected to miss the rest of the season.

The New Zealand dollar gained after better manufacturing data from China boosted investor confidence about growth in Asia's largest economy and as prospects fade for imminent western military action in Syria.
The kiwi advanced to 77.60 US cents at 8am in Wellington, from 77.19 cents at the New York close and 77.70 cents at 5pm in Wellington on Friday. The trade-weighted index was little changed at 73.61 from 73.67 in Wellington Friday.
Over the weekend, a Chinese manufacturing gauge for August rose to a 16-month high, bolstered by new orders and overseas demand, prompting some economists to raise their estimates for third quarter economic growth in the world's second-largest economy. China is New Zealand's second-biggest trading partner after Australia, which counts China as its largest trading partner.
"It shows a bit of a rebound going on in China," said Tim Kelleher, head of institutional FX sales in New Zealand for ASB Bank.
"Also, there has been no military action in Syria, which has calmed down things a bit. The risk on the day is probably on the upside."
The New Zealand dollar will likely trade up to the top of its recent range of 78 US cents today, while the Australian dollar may rise to 90 US cents, from 89.39 US cents at 8am, Kelleher said.
Supporting the Australasian currencies, US President Barack Obama said he would seek approval from congress to take military action against Syria, which will delay any western response and restore some of investors' risk appetite.
Meanwhile, a report yesterday showed the China's Purchasing Managers' Index improved to 51 in August, from 50.3 in July. Traders will be eyeing further reports on Chinese and European manufacturing today.
Trading will likely be quiet today as US financial markets are closed for a Labor Day Holiday.
In New Zealand today, a report at 10:45am will probably show second quarter terms of trade advanced 4.1 per cent from the previous quarter, according to a Reuters poll.
The New Zealand dollar slipped to 86.73 Australian cents at 8am in Wellington, from 86.88 cents at 5pm on Friday. The local currency was unchanged at 76.34 yen and also unchanged at 58.66 euro cents. The kiwi weakened to 49.91 British pence from 50.07 pence on Friday.

A New Orleans police dog left unattended in a police vehicle in late May died from shock likely associated with heat stroke, after ripping up the car's seats in a desperate attempt to get out, according to a report obtained by the Metropolitan Crime Commission.
Primo, a 6-year-old Belgian Malinois, collapsed at a veterinarian's clinic with a temperature of 109.8 degrees, a necropsy report by the Louisiana Animal Disease Diagnostic Laboratory shows.
Later transferred to the Southeast Veterinary Emergency and Critical Care Clinic in Metairie, Primo got emergency treatment, but died after suffering three seizures, according to the report obtained by the Crime Commission, an independent law enforcement oversight group.
A dog's body temperature, under normal conditions, is slightly higher than a human's, with medical texts warning that dogs need to be immediately cooled off if temperatures rise above 105 degrees.
Photographs of the K-9 unit SUV where Primo was reportedly left by officer Jason Lewis, also obtained by the Crime Commission, offer evidence of the distress experienced by the dog while left inside the car. The dog, a trained member of the New Orleans Police Department, tore up both of the front seats of the SUV. The photos show the seats were reduced to chunks of yellow foam and fabric.
Police Department procedures generally bar direct media contacts with officers, and Lewis couldn't be reached for comment Monday.
"Those photos confirm the horrible and excruciating death this animal suffered, " said Rafael Goyeneche, the president of the Crime Commission.
Goyeneche said Primo's death should be investigated for possible criminal charges and referred the case, along with the details of two other recent dog deaths within the K-9 unit, to the Orleans Parish district attorney's office to consider under a state cruelty to animals statute.
District Attorney Leon Cannizzaro said his office is investigating the incidents, declining to comment further.
Bob Young, police spokesman, said the department's Public Integrity Bureau is investigating the circumstances of Primo's death. If investigators believe there is a possible criminal case, they will refer their findings to the DA's office, he said.
But Young noted that while the necropsy report found a likely cause of death was "shock due to heat stress, " the medical examination did not definitively find that the temperature inside the vehicle caused the heat-related symptoms. While Young acknowledged that the dog was left unattended in the vehicle, he said the report could not rule out the possibility that another medical problem caused the dog to overheat.
But Goyeneche said it lacks common sense to leave an animal in a car in late May. Temperatures at Louis Armstrong International Airport peaked at 88 degrees on May 27, the day of the incident.
"Police officers are supposed to treat these dogs as their partners, " Goyeneche said.
Often mistaken for the German shepherd, the Belgian Malinois is an agile sheep-herding dog, elegant in its build but known for its strength and high energy. Like the shepherd, it is popular as a military and police working dog. The NOPD often uses members of its K-9 unit to search buildings believed to be harboring dangerous suspects.
The Police Department spends thousands of dollars buying and training such animals.
A transfer list obtained from the city Civil Service Department shows that on June 21, Lewis was transferred from the K-9 unit to the 2nd District. Young said Lewis asked for the transfer.
The death of Primo occurred about the same time as two other deaths within the K-9 unit, according to the Crime Commission. A dog named Phantom died after plunging down an elevator shaft during a training exercise at the Charity Hospital building, while another dog, Carlos, died from heartworms, Goyeneche said in his letter to the DA's office.
The NOPD is not investigating the death of Carlos, who was 14 and died of a heart attack, Young said. But Public Integrity investigators are looking into the circumstances around the elevator-shaft death, he said.
During the search training exercise, the dog was able to squeeze through a small opening in an elevator door. Phantom was on a long leash, held by a handler, but the K-9 officers were not able to save him after he dropped into the shaft, Young said. The ring that held the leash to the dog's collar snapped, allowing the dog to fall, he said.
Young said the recent deaths have been felt within the K-9 unit.
"For these dog handlers, that is their partner. It is very traumatic to them also, " he said.
Indeed, dogs trained to work with law enforcement agencies are considered official members of the department, typically living with their human partners when not on the job. Intentionally injuring or killing a police animal is a crime punishable under Louisiana law with a minimum of one year jail time. The cruelty to animals statute, a misdemeanor, applies to all animals. It can be applied to people who mistreat an animal through criminal negligence, and can result in jail time or fines.
There are currently nine dogs in the K-9 unit, including seven experienced animals and two in training.

When it comes to fundraising, a lot is obvious to professional fundraisers. You know, for instance, that you won't secure big gifts by writing letters. You know that special events can be an iffy way to raise money. You know you can't ignore individuals and rely solely on corporations and foundations. You know. but do your board members and volunteers? Do they know what works in fundraising and what doesn't? Many don't, which is why Fundraising Mistakes that Bedevil All Boards (and Staff Too) is a great eye opener. Kay Sprinkel Grace dissects the wrongheaded thinking behind 44 of the most common mistakes in fundraising. Your board may think that publicity raises money, or that tax deductibility is a powerful incentive, or that it's impolite to ask for a specific amount. You know better. But until your board does, what's "obvious" to them can derail your progress. Nicely complements David Lansdowne's book, Fund Raising Realities Every Board Member Must Face.. Price: $23.70

June 16: There's no such thing as a lost generation, it's time to invest in our youth now
Vital that the government and private sector create jobs and invest in youth as their numbers rise.
Vital that the government and private sector create jobs and invest in youth as their numbers rise.
About 15.7-million work, 5.7-million don't, but the numbers depend on the definition of employment.
Readers write in about June 1976, vandalism, and job creation.
South Africa's joblessness is at its highest since 2009, and government needs to come up with workable solutions, writes Fose Segodi.
New research suggests that smokers who lose their jobs spend more time unemployed than nonsmokers, although the reasons are unknown.
Ra'eesa Pather, Pontsho Pilane
Intended beneficiaries of the expanded public works scheme are only temporary workers and open to exploitation by unscrupulous employers.
Precarious work is becoming the norm as bosses increase their levels of exploitation.
The South African economy has fallen on hard times and we need to think creatively about how to resolve the problem and create employment.
Thousands of women are left to care for and support their husbands who have been left jobless and sick after contracting silicosis in the gold mines.
Despite widely held views to the contrary, labour markets are not so inflexible after all.
It took more than 20 years for SA to sign the UN's International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights. But will it make a difference?
A quarter of South Africans are unemployed but in once thriving industrial areas such as the Vaal Triangle, even qualified youth can't find jobs.
Unemployment is the main concern for about half of SA's poor population, the other half is concerned about low earnings or the poor quality of work.
Would a constitutional amendment deal with unemployment in SA? The ratification of an international convention could place a duty on SA to do that.
Unemployment levels fell in the second quarter, largely on informal sector job creation, but the number of discouraged job seekers rose.
Finance Minister Nhlanhla Nene says SA's high rate of joblessness could be solved with better skills training at tertiary institutions.
Unemployment in South Africa is one of the highest in the world – and employers are struggling more than ever to fill skilled positions.

South Africa has come in third on Bloomberg's misery index, a list of most painful economies in which to work and live, after Venezuela and Argentina.

Shanta Pandey
(314) 935-4878
Research interests:
Women's empowerment
Gender equity
Maternal and child health
Social welfare policy and program evaluation
Shanta Pandey is focused on understanding and improving the life chances of poor women and children. Her research examines the impact that policies and programs have on the most vulnerable populations in the United States and developing regions of South Asia.
In the United States, she has analyzed national data as well as launched two longitudinal studies to understand the impact of the overhaul of 60 year-old entitlement programs on survival strategies of poor single mothers living in communities with very few opportunities—American Indian reservations and rural Missouri. Her findings contradicted the approach of 1996 federal welfare reform legislation to de-emphasize postsecondary education and place greater emphasis on labor force participation and marriage of poor women with children to lift them out of poverty. Instead, Pandey has consistently found postsecondary education, especially a bachelor's degree to be a reliable predictor of economic-wellbeing of women with children. In these studies, she has advocated in favor of the policies and programs that empower young mothers by providing them with opportunities for education, especially 4-year college education.
Outside of the United States, Pandey has focused on policies and programs aimed at improving the status of women in South Asia (Nepal, India, and Bangladesh). She relies on both field studies and national surveys (demographic and health surveys) to assess women's position in terms of their education, property rights and ownership, night blindness during pregnancy, child death, domestic abuse, tobacco use, and exposure to secondhand smoke. She examines policies and innovative program interventions aimed at improving women's status, including their use of improved smokeless cook stoves, maternal and child health services, and child vaccination. In this body of work, she has documented that some of the critical risk factors that adversely affect women are their low/lack of education, early marriage, early pregnancy and birth, high prevalence of physical and sexual abuse, lack of voice in decision-making, and household poverty. Her research shows that changing policies in favor of women and children, disseminating promising innovations, and expanding health service delivery are only initial steps and are insufficient if women do not have the agency and power to independently utilize these policies and programs as necessary. Here, Pandey has advocated professional social workers to join other professionals and scale-up interdisciplinary work and play a key role in empowering women, their families, and communities. Her research has been funded by grants from the Department of Health and Human Services, US department of Agriculture, and the MacArthur Foundation.
Pandey has trained and mentored social work faculty from Mongolia, Kazakhstan, and China. She has served on the Peer Review Committee for the Fullbright Specialist Program of the Council for International Exchange of Scholars, Washington, D.C. At Washington University, she has served on the University's Faculty Senate Council and co-chaired the Gender Pay Equity Study Steering Committee for the Danforth Campus. At the Brown School, she enjoys working toward gender equity and increasing faculty diversity across all ranks. Pandey coordinates the Research specialization, teaches research seminar and social welfare policy courses to MSW students and multivariable statistics to doctoral students.

Tatiana Maslany, the do-it-all dynamo who headlines "Orphan Black," isn't about to rest on her laurels. In the midst of filming 10 new episodes of the sci-fi clone conspiracy, she's ready for more challenges.
"I know these women now," she says, speaking of the seven roles she's required to play. "So it's about going deeper with it and fleshing out the worlds of the clones."
Maslany, a Golden Globe nominee for her rigorous performance, appeared at a BBC America panel session Saturday at the Television Critics Association winter press tour. Accompanied by co-star Jordan Gavaris and creator-writer Graeme Manson, she reflected on a whirlwind year that saw her and the cult show achieve widespread acclaim.
"We were completely blown away by the critical response we received," Maslany told reporters. "We're a niche, odd little show that could have fallen under the radar, but because of the TV critics and bloggers and The Clone Club, the word got out."
Now, Maslany and the "Orphan Black" team want to fend off complacency. The actress insisted that getting comfortable with her multi-pronged role would be "dangerous" and that she's still "obsessed" with the job. Meanwhile, Manson said the series will take some "risks with our premise and push, technically, what we did in the first season."
Critics were given a sneak peek at the season's turbo-charged opening sequence, which picks up immediately after the events of the finale. After learning that her daughter, Kira, was kidnapped, Sarah is seen frantically running through the rain before ducking into a diner. There she connects via cell phone with Rachel, who tries to convince her to give herself up. That's when a pair of mysterious men enter the diner and ... conflict happens.
Manson and his stars weren't about to reveal any major spoilers, but tossed out a few hints about what's to come.
-- Cosima's disease will force her to confront "her own mortality," according to Maslany. Added Manson: "It's hard because she's my favorite clone and we're putting her in this heartbreaking position. ... Narratively, examining her illness and looking into her science is part of our mystery."
-- The show will delve much deeper into Felix's background, according to Gavaris. "In Season 1, Felix was very much an integral cog in the mystery and Sarah's journey," the actor said. "What Season 2 does is establish him outside of the clones and as an individual with his own identity." Manson said Felix will form allegiances with other clones and his relationship with Sarah will be tested.
-- Don't expect any new characters with clones. "It's not like we haven't thought of that," Manson said. "But it's not territory we're treading in the near future. ... We still have a long ways to go with all of these characters. We'd like to keep on exploring this as long as we don't exhaust Tat."
-- Alison's guilt over not trying to save Ainsley in the finale will eat away at her. "She's got some explosions coming up," teased Manson.
-- Michelle Forbes ("The Killing"; "True Blood") will join the show and play an integral role.
-- It remains to be seen how long "Orphan Black" will run, but Manson revealed that the show was pitched with at three-year trajectory in mind. "We have a long-term plan that's pretty elastic conceptually," he said.
"Orphan Black" returns to BBC America on April 19.

Technical Story Book
Weather can oftentimes make or break a day's plans not only in the Ozarks but anywhere. Your curiosity about weather led you to pursue training as a meteorologist. As your career progressed, you really enjoyed the invitations that you received to visit schools and teach the basics of weather to children, so you decided to specialize in the development of educational materials about weather for children. After you received training in the principles of education, a children's publishing company hired you to write a simple story about clouds and weather instruments.
All of the scientific information about meteorology needs to be accurate and clear, but the publisher will allow you to make up imaginary characters to catch and keep the children's attention. You have been instructed that each page can only have one concept and a corresponding picture. The publisher requires a minimum of 5 pages and not more than 10.

One of the best parts of the new year, is seeing everyone's round ups of the previous year. desire to inspire is one of my favourite blogs to check out for round ups. This post on a round up of their favourite living rooms from 2012 was beautiful... and this room definitely tops my list!
Some beautiful kitchens from Decor de Provence. My favourite is the one below - the painted brick juxtaposed with the modern cabinetry and appliances is the perfect mix of old meets new. Well done!
We had a good amount of snow for less than a week, right before Christmas. I was excited at first, but over it pretty quickly. Somehow, despite my dislike of the cold and snow, I wouldn't mind escaping to a place like this escape in the Swiss Alps, shared on 79 ideas. It's not so much the being in the snow I long for... it's more the lounging inside in warm comfy clothes, snuggling by the fire and enjoying some hot chocolate while watching the snow fall. How about you?
A lot of things have made me miss living in a home that we own. Many times I long to have a space back that we can change, tweak and renovate to make it feel more like us. Seeing pictures like this cozy kitchen nook on Savor Home Blog definitely make that desire stronger. Doesn't it seem like the perfect spot to enjoy your morning tea (or coffee)?
Well, now that it's the weekend, I'm sure that we will come up with some fun stuff to do. We're hoping to finally put our season passes for Mount Seymour to use, and I might get out with one of my girlfriends tomorrow night... without our babes in tow. Whatever we do, I'm looking forward to some downtime and family time. It may have been a short work week for B, but Halle and I have been busy running errands and taking down Christmas decorations, so hopefully this weekend will give us a chance to kick back a little. What are your plans for this first weekend of 2013?

The light posts along Fairlane Road are filling up with local veterans, and for Robert Ballesteros, the new look is all part of his vision for honoring Siskiyou military men and women.
Ballesteros, a member of the Siskiyou County Veterans Leadership Council, got the idea on a trip through Susanville, where banners recognizing local veterans were placed along the city's thoroughfares.
Since Nov. 8, 22 banners have been put up along Fairlane Road in Yreka, with five more on the way.
The idea, according to Ballesteros, is to add and rotate the banners on a continual basis. He said that the banners are purchased by family or friends of veterans and then donated to the project, which displays a photo and information for travelers along the Yreka stretch of Interstate 5 as well as local drivers along Fairlane Rd.
So far, veterans from many eras are represented, including PFC Bud Lawrence and Retired Gunnery Sergeant Jim Damewood, both Marines who landed on Iwo Jima in World War II. There are also currently serving members as well, according to Ballesteros.
Ballesteros said that a great deal of thanks goes to Wes White, owner of Elite Rigging Tree Trimming in Yreka, who has volunteered his time and bucket truck to put the banners in place.
The banners, which can be purchased for $75, support the activities of the VLC. The organization is involved in the county's Armed Forces Day, sponsors the annual USO Dinner-Dance and has worked to bring the traveling Vietnam Memorial Wall to Siskiyou County on March 26.
Those wishing to order a banner or receive more information can call Ballesteros at 530-643-2851.

Black and White Twins
Netlore Archive: Emailed images show a pair of twin sisters — one black, the other white — born to a British couple who both had mixed-race parents.
Description: Viral images
Circulating since: Feb. 2006
Status: Authentic (see details below)
Email contributed by Stacey B., March 1, 2006:
Subject: AMAZING TWINS...WOW!
A mixed-race British mom gave birth to twins recently - one of each. No, not a boy and a girl. Two girls - one black, the other white. The odds of such a birth are about a million to one, experts said.
(Images credited to Gary Roberts)
Analysis: The preceding images, all credited in online news stories to freelance photographer Gary Roberts, are authentic, as are the subjects, twins Kian and Remee Hodgson of Nottingham, England.
According to a February 21, 2006 article in the London Daily Mail, Kian, who is dark-skinned and dark-haired, and Remee, who is light-skinned and fair-haired, were born in April 2005 to Kylie and Remi Hodgson, who themselves were born to mixed-race parents.
While very rare, the phenomenon is not unknown, though it does entail a very particular combination of circumstances at the moment of conception. First, both parents must be of mixed race. Second, the twins must be fraternal (each conceived from a separate egg fertilized by separate sperm) as opposed to identical (both conceived from a single egg and sperm). Third, each sperm and egg must carry the genes for a particular skin color (i.e., black/black or white/white).
The odds against it are indeed a million to one.

Blame voters on funding
Re: "Legislature to blame for crisis, districts say — Plaintiffs' final expert testifies about challenges of cuts," Thursday news story.
You do not vote for Republicans to provide adequate funding for areas like education or social programs. You vote for Republicans to either defund or make cuts in those areas.
Since the majority of the folks here in Texas voted for a Republican for the Legislature, they are good with education cuts.
If you want adequate funding for education in Texas, you do not vote Republican. That shouldn't be a hard concept to grasp.

Crowdfunding Sites Could Help VCs, Accelerators Raise Cash Too
By Yuliya Chernova and Lora Kolodny
Sites that enable technology startups to "crowdfund"–tap dozens of small-scale investors for needed capital–could help venture and seed investors raise their own funds online, VentureWire reports today (subscription required).
At least one well-known seed-stage fund, Mountain View, Calif.-based 500 Startups, has tried a form of crowdfunding in recent weeks using the sites SecondMarket and AngelList. Others are considering the same method.
The method, known as Reg-D, enables companies to raise capital from accredited investors online. It has been increasing of late, spurred by the year-old JOBS Act, a law that is expected to eventually allow even non-accredited investors to buy shares of privately held startups online. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission is expected to issue regulations around crowdfunding by these "everyday" investors in coming months.
The founding partner of 500 Startups, Dave McClure, said that his firm does not comment on current fundraising, per SEC guidelines and regulations. However, he said, "Once the SEC clarifies its position on the JOBS Act, the future of online fundraising platforms both for companies and funds could be very promising."
The 500 Startups fund, according to the documents seen by VentureWire and posted on AngelList, has raised about $30 million in commitments toward its $50 million goal so far. Its limited partners include venture firms Founders Fund, Accel Partners, Redpoint Ventures and Blue Run Ventures, as well as prominent venture capitalists Fred Wilson, Marc Andreessen and others.

By Mike Strasser, West Point Public AffairsJuly 28, 2011
WEST POINT, N.Y., July 28, 2011 -- At times it seemed almost too real. West Point community members cried out for help as fire and emergency personnel moved purposefully to neutralize a hazardous material spill. Toxic chemicals gushed and flames erupted as first responders donned protective gear and moved casualties to safety.
Thankfully, it wasn't real. But during the emergency preparedness exercise July 21, amidst the smoke, fire and water hoses blasting the North Dock area, Acting Fire Chief Thomas Acacia allowed himself to crack a brief smile.
"I actually smiled during the exercise when I saw a woman and her infant come through our decontamination corridor," Acacia admitted. "It's not very often you will see an incident commander smile during a real event or an exercise, but when I saw the baby, a vision of my daughter flashed into my mind. It really solidified for me the importance of our jobs and why we chose this profession."
That smile may never have transpired if he wasn't already pleased by what he saw.
"I was extremely impressed with our response, tactical decisions and mitigation activities," Acacia said. "Since this was a training event, I had several key positions at the top of the Incident Management Team filled by personnel who were performing at a level which exceeds their current positions. I was extremely impressed with their decisions and the strategies they employed."
"The depth of knowledge and experience throughout the ranks of the Fire Department was showcased yesterday and I am extremely proud of all my guys and the professionalism they demonstrated," he said.
The exercise conducted from July 18-21, dubbed Dragon-Slayer 2011, demonstrated many examples of professionalism for West Point and the local, county and state agencies participating.
These agencies included ambulances from Tuxedo, Warwick, Woodbury, Cornwall, Town of Newburgh, Mobile Life and Orange County EMS; fire support from Picatinny Arsenal, N.J., with Hazmat; and police support from the New York State Police. Mutual-aid partners in Highland Falls, Fort Montgomery and Cornwall-on-Hudson provided back up support.
"West Point's success is attributed in part to the outstanding support these agencies give us," Acacia said. "As for the fire department, we continually train with different agencies to include federal assets and our neighbors from Orange County, as well as the surrounding counties, to collectively hone our skills. Every agency has their strengths and weaknesses, and through joint venture training events such as this exercise, we all learn from each other so the end state yields a more prepared first responder team."
Christopher Hennen, West Point's plans officer, said coordination and communication are essential elements of an effective, efficient emergency response.
"Operators will insist that communications reliability and redundancy are among the most troubling aspects of emergency management," Hennen said. "Yet there's no simple solution or 'silver bullet' to solve the communications problems that plague responders. Radios and cell phones are temperamental creatures; they malfunction at the most inopportune times."
"That said, the importance West Point emergency response professionals place on multi-agency, multi-jurisdictional training and interoperability have enabled them to respond quickly, capably and cooperatively to a range of natural and man-made hazards," he said. "That was demonstrated yesterday."
Hennen said there was much to be pleased with but still more work needs to be done. The after action review and improvement plan will shape the development of the subsequent emergency training and exercise plan, while the installation's Emergency Management Working Group will track progress on the resolution of all substantive exercise deficiencies.
"This should result in a more informed, more capable and more confident team of responders," Hennen said.

Yuan, DL; Li, Y; He, L; Zhou, H; Li, RX; Wang, F; Lei, H; Hu, DX (2010). An observation of the three-dimensional structure of a cross-shelf penetrating front off the Changjiang mouth. DEEP-SEA RESEARCH PART II-TOPICAL STUDIES IN OCEANOGRAPHY, 57(19-20), 1827-1834.
AbstractSatellite images and in situ hydrography and nutrient observations are used to study the three-dimensional structure of a penetrating front off the Changjiang mouth in the East China Sea. The satellite images of MODIS/Terra on October 16, 2006 show anomalously high concentrations of chlorophyll and total suspended sediments extending offshore from the mean coastal front off the Chiangjiang mouth. However, the sea-surface temperature image of the same satellite shows no signature of this extension at all. The in situ hydrography measured during the same time as the satellite images discloses that the surface layer of the front is occupied by low-salinity waters from the nearshore area, which suggests a cross-shelf jet covering a distance of about 50 km. A counter intrusion underneath the surface offshore jet is indicated by an increase of the subsurface temperature and salinity during the offshore excursion of the front, which leads to a significant temperature inversion at the head of the front. The vertical temperature and salinity distribution shows propensity of double diffusive processes, which may contribute to the ensuing evolution of the front. The nutrient distribution of the front is consistent with the cross-shelf jet derived from the hydrographic data, with surface and bottom intensified concentrations and minimum mid-depth concentrations, suggesting that the primary transport of the surface nutrients is in the horizontal cross-shelf direction. The potential dynamics of the frontal intrusion is discussed in light of wind forcing and frontal instability. The intrusion is found to be very important to cross-shelf and cross-front exchanges in the East China Sea. (C) 2010 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

CFMoto is recalling more than 6,000 motorcycles to fix a manufacturing defect with the brakes.
Motorcycles involved in the recall are CF250T V3 and CF250T V5 automatic motorcycles made from Jan. 1, 2005 through Dec. 31, 2009. "These models were built with a left-hand rear-wheel brake instead of the required right-foot operated rear-wheel brake," according to the National Highway Transportation and Safety Administration (NHTSA). "These vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 123, Motorcycle Controls and Displays."
Absence of standardized motorcycle controls may hinder a rider's ability to brake, increasing the risk of a crash, NHTSA stated.
CFMoto is notifying owners. Dealers will be asked to install a right-foot control rear-wheel brake kit free of charge. The total number of motorcycles affected by the recall is estimated at 6,405.
The safety recall (No. 11V544000) is expected to begin on or before May 1, 2012, NHTSA stated.

NEW YORK (AP) -- Notre Dame is No. 1 and Alabama is No. 2 in The Associated Press college football poll, moving to the top of the rankings after Oregon and Kansas State were upset Saturday night.
The Fighting Irish are No. 1 for the first time since Nov. 14, 1993. The Fighting Irish were a unanimous No. 1, getting all 60 first-place votes. They are a victory against rival Southern California away from completing a perfect regular season and playing in the BCS championship game Jan. 7 in Miami.
A week after being upset as the No. 1 team, Alabama is back to No. 2, taking advantage of the two big upsets.
The Ducks had been No. 1 but fell in overtime to Stanford. Kansas State was No. 2 when it was beaten at Baylor.
Georgia rises to No. 3, the same spot they were before losing to South Carolina in October. The Gamecocks fell a spot to No. 13 this week, and Clemson fell also to No. 12.

HEDGESVILLE - There are many parts to Daniel Heleine of Class AAA state baseball champion Hedgesville.
Heleine's 16 home runs this season provided him with a touch from the Ruthian era.
The first baseman's ability to carry a tune spotted him as also a bygone Mitch Miller. He served as the team's choral director on bus trips to games, and his teammates "sang along" with him during their rides.
Heleine found his inner-Sybil, another ages-old personna, to create a character he used to inspire his teammates during their run through the postseason, too. He developed an alter-ego he used to address his teammates before games during the playoffs.
Today, the senior adds one more part to his personal equation by being named as the state's Baseball Player of the Year by the West Virginia Sports Writers Association.
Slugger, singer, actor and winner all provided the makeup of Heleine. He was a man of many caps for the Eagles.
It proved to be a winning combination for Hedgesville, a school playing in the state tournament for the first time in 39 years. The previous time came in 1974 as a Class A school in the one-class state playoffs for baseball.
He sent the Eagles over the wall as Hedgesville breaks up somewhat to form Berkeley County's new Spring Mills, which opens in August. Some of his Eagle teammates will be Cardinals in the future.
There's the most important aspect to Heleine, too that of leader, a guy who kind of came out of left field, so to speak, and did whatever he felt was necessary to loosen the pressure on his teammates during their historic run.
"Leaders get players to play at their peak," said coach Dirk Webb, an alumnus of Hedgesville in his third year at the helm of the Eagles. "Some do it by yelling, some do it by work ethic. Daniel's one of those guys who was able to keep everybody loose and allowed them to play at the top of their game."
Heleine claimed a narrow win for the Player of the Year honor over Seth Kinker of Cabell Midland, which fell to Hedgesville 4-2 in the state title game.
Others finalists for the honor included Fletcher Devaul of Fairmont Senior, Drew D'Angelo of Independence, Corey Bird of Herbert Hoover and Kyle Elliott of Magnolia.
"It's awesome," Heleine said of the award.
Heleine experienced a season to remember as Hedgesville finished with a 29-7 record and won its first state title in baseball. The Eagles won their last 11 games.
The Player of the Year award is an added bonus for Heleine.
"I'd say the state championship (was the best)," Heleine said, "because it was a team effort. I didn't really perform down there very much. If the team wasn't there, the things that followed wouldn't have happened."
Heleine failed to get a hit in Hedgesville's final two games played at Charleston's Appalachian Power Park.
He batted .478 for the season, adding single-season school records for home runs and runs-batted-in with 57.

|Naval Sea Cadet Corps Seeking Volunteers
|The Naval Sea Cadet Corps (NSCC) is for American youth, ages 13 through 17, who have a desire to learn about the Navy, Marine Corps, U.S. Coast Guard, and Merchant Marines. Sea Cadets are authorized by the Secretary of the Navy to wear Navy uniforms appropriately marked with the NSCC insignia. The objectives of the Sea Cadet program are to introduce youth to naval life, to develop in them a sense of pride, patriotism, courage, and self-reliance, and to maintain an environment free of drugs and gangs.
|The Pathfinder Unit of the NSCC regularly drills at Fort Detrick in Frederick, MD. Currently, there are 30 active Sea Cadets involved with the program. The unit is under the direction of seven adult leaders in which three are active duty officers of the Commissioned Corps of the U.S. Public Health Service.
|Given the rapid program growth witnessed this past year, we are looking for additional adult volunteers to assist in the drills, leadership, and administrative duties. We are in desperate need of female officers. Should you be interested, please contact the unit's executive officer, LCDR David Staten, USPHS, at firstname.lastname@example.com

An appropriate test procedure, based on a duty cycle representative of real in-use operation, is an essential tool for characterizing engine emissions. A study has been performed to develop and validate a snowmobile engine test procedure for measurement of exhaust emissions.
Real-time operating data collected from four instrumented snowmobiles were combined into a composite database for analysis and formulation of a snowmobile engine duty cycle. One snowmobile from each of four manufacturers (Arctic Cat, Polaris, Ski-Doo, and Yamaha) was included in the data collection process. Snowmobiles were driven over various on- and off-trail segments representing five driving styles: aggressive (trail), moderate (trail), double (trail with operator and one passenger), freestyle (off trail), and lake driving. Statistical analysis of this database was performed, and a five-mode steady-state snowmobile engine duty cycle was developed.
A test procedure, based on this five-mode duty cycle, has been defined, addressing requirements specific to snowmobile engines. A round-robin testing program was conducted by International Snowmobile Manufacturers Association (ISMA) member companies to validate and further develop this test procedure. Supporting emissions test results and analysis are presented on two snowmobile engines tested at six different laboratories.
In response to the developing interest in snowmobile emissions, the International Snowmobile Industry Association (forerunner of the International Snowmobile Manufacturers Association, or ISMA, which represents all snowmobile manufacturers) launched an effort to develop a representative test procedure for the measurement of exhaust emissions from snowmobile engines. Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) was contracted to determine operating parameter data for snowmobiles under a variety of real-world operating conditions. SwRI applied statistical analysis to this database to determine representative operating points and weight factors, which were used to create a five-mode test cycle. This cycle was combined with the emissions measurement procedure defined in the U.S. EPA Marine Spark-Ignition Engine rule (40 CFR Part 91)

Ex-Bank of America Deal Maker Sets Up in Indonesia
As Bank of America Merrill Lynch embarks on a brutal round of cuts in Asia, one deal maker has set out on his own in Indonesia.
Chad Holm, a former managing director at Bank of America's financial-institutions group in Asia, has started a merchant bank in Indonesia and is in the process of gaining approval for a US$1 billion private-equity fund. Mr. Holm left Bank of America in November last year.
The Yawadwipa Companies will use its strong local relationships in Indonesia, particularly with high-net-worth individuals, to provide investment-management and advisory activities. It will also advise foreigners seeking to invest there. Infrastructure is one particular area where the "capital investment that needs to be made" is "huge," said Mr. Holm.
Though Indonesia has become one of the darlings of foreign investors, who are attracted to its fast-growing, commodity-rich economy and its large emerging middle class, the lack of infrastructure is seen as a major impediment to development. The government announced in December that it plans to establish an investment vehicle to channel foreign capital into long-term infrastructure projects.
Deal Journal has more.
