Edited by Ilan Stavans
In this remarkably wide-ranging anthology, Ilan Stavans has collected the work of more than fifty notable Jewish writers from around the globe, weaving these diverse viewpoints and voices into a rich portrait of Jewish literary tradition.
THE OXFORD BOOK OF JEWISH STORIES takes us from the mid-1800s right up to the present, encompassing the full spectrum of Jewish writing around the world. The variety of tales captured here is stunning. What emerges in the end isthat the Jews may have many languages and a dozen echoes in foreign tongues, but only one literature. And it is one of the finest in the world.
The many marvelous tales the fill THE OXFORD BOOK OF JEWISH STORIES affirm that a shared identity can exist without sterile uniformityand that writers can engage their religious and cultural heritage without losing touch with those rich, complex ambiguities that inhabit the heart.

I met Elvis for the first time in the deli across the street from the elevated line on White Plains Road and Pelham Parkway in the Bronx. Elvis was the only other customer besides me. He was sitting at the next table. I could tell it was him right away, even though he was dressed up as a Hasidic Jew. He was wearing a yarmulke on top of his head, and a lopsided, shiny black wig with long payes on the sides that drooped past his chin, a fake-looking beard to his collarbone, and a shapeless black coat, which couldn't hide his paunch, even sitting down. His skin was as white as flour, and his eyes looked glazed, as though he spent far too much time indoors. (excerpt from the short story, ELVIS, AXL, & ME)

Don't forget to enter the Happy New Year Giveaway!
I've always enjoyed the idea of having a dinner party, but rarely get invited to them (sigh to only having internet foodie friends) and oddly enough I rarely entertain myself. Reading Tara from Tea and Cookies Q and A with Jenifer Ward about "How do you host?" was a brilliant eye opener on how easy, casual and fun hosting and cooking my own dinner party could be. Not one for the North American holiday dinner of dry meat, heavy cheese sauce with mounds of "what veggie is that?" underneath with the typical eat your fill till your ready to burst feast, I decided to create a meal around British traditions with a "sufficiently suffonsified" air. For the next three days I will be posting my recipes for each course – up first: Cocktails and Appies.
With this cocktail, I wanted a slight tang, but a soft palate cleanser in between bites and who can't resist the ruby pearls bobbing in their drink, pomegranates along with mandarins speak winter for me. Most cocktails featured on Tea with Me are fruit juice based drinks with Ginger Ale. Primarily because some people who I serve my drinks too do not drink alcohol and I do like the taste of soda water. I find it very easy to make virgin drinks when the basis of the cocktails are a fruity mix.
I love cheese. Give me a board of cheese, meats, bread, with a few chutneys and olives aka a Ploughman's Lunch with a good beer or wine to wash it down and I am one happy girl. I'm not a fan of dinners that ask you to come right when dinner is served. I'm more of a socialize pre-dinner then post-dinner and a cocktail with a small sampling of cheeses is just the way to go.
Clockwise – Whole wheat baguettes lightly toasted, a brie, a soft goats cheese (this was my favourite), a cheddar with caramelized onions, and a selection of olives. I would have added chutney to this, but I'm all out of my homemade canned goodness.
- ⅛ tsp ground cardamon
- splash of lime juice
- 2 ice cubes
- half pear juice
- half ginger ale
- optional – shot of rum
- optional – pomegranate seeds to garnish
- Place the ground cardamon in a glass, add a splash of lime juice. Stir. Add two ice cubes and pour the pear juice and ginger ale in (I do 1:1 of each versus the glass I'm using). Add a shot of rum and pomegranate seeds to garnish. Stir to combine.

The Chocolate War
by Robert Cormier
The Chocolate War Chapter 33 Summary
- Archie is griping at Emile on the phone.
- What did Emile think he was doing? He didn't tell him to "gang bang" (33.3) Jerry.
- Emile says he thought it would be more "Psychological" (33.4) if Jerry was attacked by a whole pack of guys.
- Archie asks Emile if he accused Jerry of being gay.
- Emile says that it worked really well. Jerry freaked out. He wants to know if Jerry really is gay.
- Archie says that Jerry isn't and that's the point. He explains, "If you want to get under a guy's skin, accuse him of being something he isn't. Otherwise, you're only telling him something he knows" (33.9). Archie thinks, "The silence on the phone indicate[s] Emile's appreciation of Archie's genius" (33.10).
- Emile is ready for another assignment, but Archie tells him to lay low for the time being.
- Emile once again asks Archie about the photograph.
- Archie confesses that there is no photo.
- Emile isn't sure if he believes him.
- Archie hints that Emile has a future with him, and Emile wonders if that means he'll be a Vigil soon. It would be so awesome if he could be a Vigil, and not have to worry about the stupid picture anymore.
- When Emile gets off the phone with Archie, though, he still doesn't trust him.

Maynard Webb: From Mowing Lawns to Building Companies
MAYNARD WEBB: Last week I summarized the top pitching turnoffs for my company. Now, we'll talk about what we want to hear instead:
"We are serial entrepreneurs (mostly engineers), and have uncovered a massive opportunity (in a space we care about – mobile, cloud computing, etc)."
The perfect elevator pitch highlights the passion, energy and expertise of the entrepreneur. We want to hear why you and your team decided to go after this particular market opportunity. What makes you uniquely qualified to execute your unique approach? Numbers about the market size and market opportunity are important, but we can do this research on our own. We want to see an entrepreneur's desire to fix something and to make an impact. Ideally, you have a sense of history; you'll tell us why your product does not exist yet, who tried to do this before, why they failed, and what are you doing differently. Great pitches have a compelling "why now" component.
See what other startup mentors have to say about pitching dos and don'ts.
"We have been self–funding for the last 12 months, but we now see how enormous this space is, and we came to you first because of your reputation for helping companies"
Ahhh, you did your homework. Thank you for figuring out why we make a good partner. We appreciate that you have skin in the game and have taken a big risk on an idea you believe in. Combine that with a clear, but passionate "why me/why now/why this" and we are interested in learning more.
"I started mowing lawns and developed it into a landscape business when I was 11, opened my first E*TRADE account at 14, and am doing this now because I was massively frustrated with what was out there."
I want to hear a great back story. I want to know how you deal with adversity. We love entrepreneurs with grit, who are willing to think big, work hard, and don't see any other way of working.

Pinot lovers will be in paradise as winemakers from all over the Santa Cruz Mountains come together Friday through Sunday to showcase their versions of one of the region's greatest varietals at the Santa Cruz Mountains Winegrowers Association's 10th annual Pinot Paradise.
"Our mountain region really makes pinot noir unique," said Guadalupe Sanchez, marketing and event coordinator for SCMWA. "We want people to really know about the premium pinot noir that we produce here."
Jerold O'Brien, a winemaker and owner of Los Gatos' Silver Mountain Vineyards, produces four different pinot noirs and said there is a reason the varietal does really well in the Santa Cruz Mountains.
"The Santa Cruz Mountains is one of six grape-growing regions in North America that are the best for pinot noir," he said. "The reason that those six are the best, or what they have in common, are cooler climates. Either they are close to the ocean and have a cool climate influence because of it, or they are at high elevations, such as many vineyards in the Santa Cruz Mountains. Or, as in the Willamette Valley, it is just way far north and in a colder climate. The similarity is that they are all cold for whatever different reason."
Great detail
O'Brien said the Santa Cruz Mountains region is right in the middle of the group of six that stretches from Santa Barbara up to the Willamette Valley in Oregon.
"The Santa Cruz Mountains is the only one that is cold because of the high elevation," he said. "And it is in fact one of the best for growing pinot noir because pinot noir produces the best flavors when there is a lot of cold influence."
For anyone who loves pinot and is interested in tasting a wide sampling of the varietal from one of the best regions for growing it, Pinot Paradise is the event to do just that. The event will span three days with different ways to enjoy the region's pinot noirs on each day.
"We will be having a technical session on Friday that focuses on wine making in a mountain terroir," Sanchez said. "The speakers will go into detail about why pinot noir is produced in the Santa Cruz Mountains region."
The technical session, "A Return to Paradise; Wine Making in a Mountain Terroir," will feature two notable speakers followed by a panel of Santa Cruz Mountains pinot noir producers presenting tastes of their wines and "telling the story of the fruit and its journey to the glass."
Speaker David Hirsch, the founder and owner of the renowned Hirsch Vineyards, is known as the first grower to draw attention to wine grapes grown on the cooler outer West Sonoma Coast Appellation. Dr. Jean Jacques Lambert, associate research soil scientist at UC-Davis, will speak about the chemical and physical properties of soils, highlighting the importance of the mysterious world of soil microbes and their importance to wine flavors and vine performance. The panel discussion will feature Bob Varner, Varner Wines; Jeff Brinkman, Rhys Vineyard; and Jamie Kutch, Kutch Wines.
"We really look forward to the technical event on Friday," said Doris Cooper of Saratoga's Cooper-Garrod Estate Vineyards. "It's an education for consumers, but also for those of us making wine."
More tasting
The next two events are more about tasting the wines and meeting the wine makers producing pinot noirs in the Santa Cruz Mountains.
On Saturday's Pathway to Pinot Paradise, people will have the opportunity to visit the participating wineries and get a firsthand look at the places producing the wines.
"This is more of a self-guided tour," Sanchez said. "We provide a map of all the wineries participating in the event and give people wristbands, and then they are able to go around and do their tasting. They get more of an experience and are able to see the vineyards and taste the wine were it is made."
The three-day event will culminate with the pinot noir Grand Cruz Tasting on Sunday back at the Mountain Winery. More than 40 wine makers and 15 restaurants will participate. Each winery will have either its wine maker or a principal there to talk to guests about the wines and most will be pouring at least two of their pinots.
"We will be there with all the other wine makers to pour the wine and answer questions about what makes our place special and different," Cooper said, "and to participate in that interface with people who love pinot noir and are discovering our area.

His father will claim genetics, some might ask for a DNA test, either way, not since the likes of Steve Shadley in 1970's has a player so dominated Tiger basketball as our next inductee, Kirby Bailey.
He made it seem so smooth and effortless.
An All-Conference player out of Cedar Springs H. S., Kirby's freshman year was cut short by a cancelled season which he had no say over. Disappointed, but showing commitment to Grace, Kirby came back the next three years anchoring the 2006 NCCAA II National Championship team and ACCA National runner-up that same year playing for his father and grandfather. Kirby still holds the ACCA National Tournament record of 29.5 ppg.
He was an ACCA and NCCAA Div. II All-American his last two years and was selected as Team Captain during those years as well.
Kirby is 5th all time scoring with 1,704 points. He is 4th all time in FG's with 674. He is one of only two players to score over 700 pts in a season, with 702 in 2005. The other is Allen Durham.
He was a 2006 Tiger Award winner, 2005 team MVP and he was named to 7 different all tournament teams during his career, including the Calvin College all-tournament team where he still holds the single game scoring record of 31 pts.
Kirby is proud of his family, father Gary, mother Danette, sister-Kylie and is currently putting his GBC Dual Degree in Business to good use as an accountant with the RDV Corporation.

Lembhard arraigned today on attempted murder charges after Newburgh standoff
GOSHEN - Gosford Lembhard was arraigned on attempted murder charges Thursday morning in Orange County Court, just hours after he tried to escape from police following a tense standoff in the City of Newburgh.
Lembhard, 26, was brought into court in a wheelchair. He fought with police and was stunned with a Taser after he bolted from a home at 57 Liberty St., where he was holed up for 10 hours Wednesday.
Orange County Judge Nicholas De Rosa set bail at $500,000 cash or $1 million bond for Gosford Lembhard, the older brother of Michael Lembhard, who was shot and killed by police on March 7 after Michael allegedly lunged at them with a knife. Gosford Lembhard told family members that he was worried for his safety if he surrendered Wednesday.
On Sept. 9, Gosford Lembhard is accused of driving past a car with three people, including a 4-year-old girl, and firing shots into the vehicle and a nearby building in Newburgh. Police recovered eight shell casings.
One of the victims told police she saw Lembhard raise his arm to shoot and yelled that her baby was in the car. Lembhard fired anyway, according to Assistant District Attorney Karen Edelman-Reyes.
An Orange County grand jury has indicted Lembhard on numerous charges, including attempted murder. He had missed two arraignments in November. U.S. marshals were trying to serve an arrest warrant on Lembhard at 5:55 a.m. Wednesday when Lembhard raced to a back room with his two brothers, his 10-year-old niece and one of his brother's girlfriends and locked the door.
Police negotiators, Lembhard's attorney, Michael Sussman, and others tried all day to get Lembhard to surrender. He finally bolted out a window about 4 p.m. Wednesday and was captured by police.

- They're being criminalized and treated as lawbreakers.
- The essential arguments are that nothing in the policy excludes these cases and that to exclude them puts lawbreakers in a better position than entrants who declare themselves.
- 'If the Government becomes a lawbreaker,' he wrote, 'it breeds contempt for law; it invites every man to become a law unto himself; it invites anarchy.'

- Example sentences
- So, the Republicans will change the law to either politicize the prosecutor's office or retroactively legitimize past lawbreaking, and then proclaim themselves clean.
- But the prevalence of cultural relativism must take some blame too: For some, a culture of lawbreaking is just as valid as a culture of obedience to the law.
- If we go back to the case of massive resistance to desegregation, we have another example of federal lawbreaking assisted by state officials.

NFL Busts a Cap in Cowboys, Redskins
Back in the 2010 NFL season, the league's salary cap was uncapped, a freak circumstance in place only because the league's labor deal was set to expire. Because NFL teams will often take any competitive advantage they can find, franchises were warned not to frontload any new contracts so that the bulk of the money would be paid during that uncapped year, and not in subsequent seasons when the cap would be more regularly adhered to. Most teams listened. But there were alleged exceptions: On Monday, the NFL announced that the Dallas Cowboys and the Washington Redskins will lose millions of dollars in cap space for apparently ignoring the league's warning.
The 2012 salary cap is projected to be $120.6 million: The Cowboys will lose $10 million, while the Redskins will lose $36 million. They'll be able to split the cap loss over the 2012 and 2013 seasons, somewhat lessening the blow, but each will have a harder time competing with the league's other 30 teams for free agents. Dallas was scrutinized for a six-year $54 million extension given to wide receiver Miles Austin – $17 million of which was paid during the uncapped season. Washington, meanwhile, allegedly restructured multiple contracts to achieve the same effect, giving them a total 2010-11 salary of $178.2 million, far more than every other team – except the Cowboys. Both teams immediately released statements saying that every contract they'd handed out during the uncapped season had been approved by the NFL office, but the complaints didn't come from the commissioner. Instead, it was the other teams who'd played by the rules pointing out Dallas and Washington's naughtiness.
Considering that there was no signed agreement to limit spending, it could be shaky ground for such a harshly punitive action. "But this is the NFL, which does what it wants and makes up the rules as it goes along," writes ESPN's Dan Graziano. "The Cowboys and the Redskins surely know that, and the fact that they were the only two teams found to have engaged egregiously enough in this behavior to deserve a huge loss of salary-cap space indicates that they should have known better."
It's a tough move for Washington, which was expecting to make a big splash in free agency this year – as the Redskins always seem to do, often to laughable effect – in anticipation of drafting quarterback Robert Griffin III with their newly-acquired second pick and surrounding him with top-flight talent. Dallas wasn't expected to be as active, but the sanctions will certainly give the Cowboys less wiggle room to make any talent upgrades. "For one, the chatter about adding a superstar lineman like Carl Nicks or Mario Williams can end," Bill Barnwell writes for Grantland. There are more than 30 free agents between the two teams, heightening the possibility that they'll have to get highly creative in order to field a decent roster for the upcoming season. We'll have to wait and see how it specifically affects their prospects, but the 30 other NFL teams – 28 of whom will receive an extra bump of salary cap space – can't be too upset.

The days leading up to Thursday's NBA trade deadline were never going to enable a buyer or seller's market, not with the end of the regular season just a month and a half away and most teams unwilling to mortgage their future for a brief upgrade. But there have been enough names tossed around in trade talks by the indefatigable Ken Berger at CBS Sports – a Josh Smith here, a Luke Ridnour there – that the chatter is difficult to ignore, even if it'll all die down in a few days. First on the wire is Pau Gasol of the Los Angeles Lakers, who's been available for so long that Lakers management had to call a meeting just to clear the air – after which he was reportedly traded a day later. (That ended up not happening.) He's still reportedly on the market.
As has been the case for most of the season, the real prize is Orlando's Dwight Howard, who may or may not leave the Magic at the end of the year. He also may or may not only want to play for the Lakers, New Jersey Nets or Dallas Mavericks, limiting Orlando's ability to get fair value in return. That's a tricky enough task, since Howard is only the best big man in the league. The Golden State Warriors might consider renting Howard for the next month and a half (they're a solid bet to miss the playoffs) in the hopes of convincing him to sign a long-time deal, even if it costs them Monta Ellis. Another report by Berger identifies the Chicago Bulls as Orlando's preferred trading partner for Howard, but with the Bulls rolling along at 35-9 and Howard reportedly bearish on the idea of signing an extension to stick in the Windy City, that too may be all smoke. Which brings us to another questionably believable rumor saying that Howard might want to play for the Miami Heat or the Los Angeles Clippers as well, despite the cap troubles in making such a deal go down (as well as the general apocalypse that would occur if Howard somehow teamed up with LeBron James and Dwyane Wade).
The only way he'll lose out is if the Magic call his bluff and accept a lesser deal to get him out of town, thereby removing his ability to sign an extension containing that lucrative fifth year of max money. "Staying in Orlando is the only way Howard can get the fifth year under the new rules, and indications are that he'd like to hang onto that fallback option as long as possible," Berger writes. "It's up to the Magic whether they afford him that chance."

The enforcement of rules in college athletics recalls the old adage about speeding: Everyone may do it, but you still have to pay the price if you get caught. It's the University of North Carolina football team's turn to stand in traffic court after being accused of the equivalent of going 90 mph through a residential neighborhood. The NCAA committee on infractions ruled that the school's athletic department failed to properly monitor its program, accompanied by other alleged misdeeds like enabling academic fraud and illegal agent benefits. In addition to losing 15 scholarships over the next few years, UNC will be bowl-ineligible for the 2012 season, be fined $50,000, receive three years' probation and vacate all of its victories from the 2008 and 2009 campaigns. (Head football coach Butch Davis and athletic director Dick Baddour have already parted ways with the school.) Holden Thorp, the school's chancellor, told the Charlotte Observer that UNC will not appeal the sanctions, "given the [lack of] success other schools have had with appeals and perhaps most importantly the fact that the penalties would be suspended during the appeal."
Short-term pain aside, they'll be back to normal in a short time, Sports Illustrated's Andy Staples cynically observes: "Remember, for those who don't consider it an ethical decision – this includes most of the people who can get rich off the deal – the decision to break the NCAA's rules is a pure risk/reward calculation. The penalties handed down Monday proved once again that the reward is still far greater than the risk as long as coaches and athletic directors understand a few things from the outset. A program can spit all over the NCAA rule book in an effort to reach or remain at the highest echelon of college football, and as long as that program cooperates with the NCAA during the investigation of its alleged 'crimes,' the Committee on Infractions will respond with a suite of penalties that contain far more bark than bite." (We'll update with any response from the NCAA.)

Even after a year away from football, Randy Moss is still Randy Moss, man of the many NFL records and the impossible-seeming highlight reels (mostly from half a decade or more ago). But Moss is back: he'll sign a one-year deal with the 49ers, in the hopes of upgrading the team's moribund offense. San Francisco will need more to improve a team that came just one win short of the championship game: the Niners are still in the process of re-signing quarterback Alex Smith, essential after apparently recusing themselves from the Peyton Manning sweepstakes. "Yes, that is the current cocksure state of the 49ers, and it is not a terrible place to be," Tim Kawakami writes for the San Jose Mercury News. "You have to be pretty self-confident to go after Moss and shrug at Manning."

WSJ/NBC News Poll: Voters Sour on John Edwards
Susan Davis reports on the presidential race.
In the latest Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll voters made one thing clear: they are unhappy with former North Carolina Sen. John Edwards following his admission of an extra-marital affair.
Voters who said they have a "very" or "somewhat" negative view of the two-time presidential contender jumped 22 percentage points from 27% in January to 49% in August.
Edwards's admission means neither he nor his wife, Elizabeth, will play roles at the Democratic convention that begins Monday in Denver. Edwards will also no longer attend a "Take Back Labor Day" concert in Minnesota during the Republican convention the following week, where he was expected to be one of the event's headliners.
For more on the WSJ/NBC News poll, which shows the presidential race between John McCain and Barack Obama in a statistical dead heat, read this story in today's Wall Street Journal.

WASHINGTON, Ill. – It's not easy to keep Indian motorcycles in stock at Integ Motorsports in East Peoria, which received its first shipment last month.
"We're selling them about as fast as we can get them," owner Will Thomas told the Washington Times Reporter. "People travel from all over to see them."
Integ Motorsports is the only Indian dealership within 100 miles. The shop also sells Victory bikes.
"To have something 99 percent American made is amazing," said Thomas. "We want to keep that business right here in the U.S."
Integ, which has been operating in East Peoria for four years, got calls from customers asking for Indian. "When we hit 500, my wife (Dana) and I said, 'We better become an Indian dealer,'" Thomas said.
Integ has been the No. 1 dealer in the district and region over the last three years, which helped get the Indian franchise.
Door swings are up significantly as a direct result of Indian being brought into the fold. Integ, a family business, is exploring a possible new site in East Peoria with a technologically advanced facility. A decision is expected by September.

Friends of Darkover was a fan group dedicated to all Darkover fandom and Marion Zimmer Bradley. This group published The Darkover Newsletter beginning in 1975, as well as the zine Starstone in 1977. They also sponsored at least one con, Fantasy Worlds Festival.
"So popular have been the novels of the planet Darkover that an organization of readers and fans has come into being, virtually spontaneously. Several meetings have been held at major science fiction conventions, and more recently specially organized around the various "councils" of the Friends of Darkover, as the organization is now known. The Friends of Darkover is purely an amateur and voluntary group. It has no paid officers and has not established any formal membership dues. Although the members of the Thendara Council of the Friends no longer publish a newsletter or any other publications themselves, they serve as a central point for information on Darkover-oriented newsletters, fanzines, and councils and maintain a chronological list of Marion Zimmer Bradley's books."

This is Daniel Webb, the Hometown News Correspondent of the National Jamboree for WDBJ7.
As the jamboree came to a close, everyone rushed to activities that they wanted to do again. However, there was no way to do all of the activities there.
The stadium show on Saturday featured special guests including Mike Rowe, the King of Sweden, and 3 Doors Down. Mike Rowe made a very good speech about working smart and hard. The King of Sweden led the entire audience with a chant. As expected, 3 Doors Down performed some of their popular songs.
The next day was an event called Jambopalooza, where various activities happened at the stadium. The jamboree also broke a world record of the most beach balls in the air at one time. That night, the entire jamboree looked to the sky after hearing explosions. A 20 minute long firework show took place. Back to back fireworks erupted in the sky. The ground shook with every explosion. The finale had fireworks launching and erupting every second. Some said it was equivalent and even better to a show in Disney World.
The next morning was the troop's last full day of elective activities. Some did patch trading, others did merit badges, and some did high adventure activities, including BMX biking, skateboarding, and riding the zip lines.
The next day was our troop's registered day for visiting the Cloud, the technology center of the jamboree. Various exhibits were set up at the cloud. National Geographic, Microsoft, Destination Imagination, NASA, and Lego were among the sponsors with tents at the Cloud. One of the highlights in my opinion of the Cloud was the Virginia Tech Bioinformatics Institute. They developed an app called Virus Tracker where people can create a zombie virus and track how it spreads among a population. They were at the technology institute infecting people with QR codes. With about 40,000 people going through this tent, they were able to track the spread of the virus among a large quantity of people. The data pulled helps them figure out how epidemics start and spread. The head of the project is Meredith Wilson, a bioscience analyst. James Stoll is the head programmer.
The next morning was the day we left the jamboree. We woke up early to dismantle our campsite. Everything had to be packed back into 3 square crates that we unpacked at the beginning of the jamboree. Then we waited for our bus to arrive and head out.
On the way back to Roanoke, we cherished the memories of the jamboree. For some people, it will not be their last jamboree. They will have one more chance to attend a jamboree as a participant in the 2017 jamboree. For me, it was a once in a lifetime experience that I think every scout should try to attend.
The next jamboree will have more activities and probably more participants. Even though it happens every four years, the Boy Scouts of America is already preparing for the next jamboree.
Thanks for following the jamboree with me!

Duke Energy Asks Carolinas Customers to Conserve Electricity
CHARLOTTE, N.C. – With the summer heat wave pushing the use of electricity to near record levels, Duke Energy officials are asking the company's customers to conserve power while temperatures are so extreme.
"We're running every generating unit we have available, and we're purchasing available power from our neighboring utilities," Ellen Ruff, Duke Energy Carolinas president, said. "We're asking for the voluntary conservation to ensure that sufficient electricity is available for our customers' critical needs. Energy conservation can help us meet our customers' demand during the heat wave, and it can also help reduce customers' power bills during the summer."
Below are some of the steps customers can take:
"We continue to monitor the situation and will keep our customers informed of actions that are needed," Ruff said. "We know this is an inconvenience, and we do appreciate our customers' patience and cooperation."
Duke Energy typically adds 40,000 to 60,000 new customers in the Carolinas each year. One of the company's top priorities is to determine the most efficient and environmentally sound way to meet our customers' growing demand for electricity over the next 10 to 15 years. That's why we are considering several options:

Doing nothing, being unproductive. Very similar to "dicking around", but one is cocking around when he/she is dicking around when he/she is supposed to be doing work or something important.
At my job, I was supposed to be completing the TPS reports, but I was cocking around instead.

AbstractIn an attempt to give a brief introduction to carbon nanotube inkjet printing, this review paper discusses the issues that come along with preparing and printing carbon nanotube ink. Carbon nanotube inkjet printing is relatively new, but it has great potential for broad applications in flexible and printable electronics, transparent electrodes, electronic sensors, and so on due to its low cost and the extraordinary properties of carbon nanotubes. In addition to the formulation of carbon nanotube ink and its printing technologies, recent progress and achievements of carbon nanotube inkjet printing are reviewed in detail with brief discussion on the future outlook of the technology.

text: Unnamed sources. And such early claims from "reliable sources" have been wrong many times in the past. Hearsay is not evidence and not worth wasting time with. It's just something the media sites use to fill space with when they don't have any actual news to report. Which is why it's so important not to confuse rumor with news. Journalistic standards in the Internet age have degenerated so badly that it's incumbent on the individual to read defensively and be very careful about what claims one takes seriously. Again, that's getting the burden of proof entirely backwards. There's nothing that proves there isn't an invisible pink elephant levitating behind me right now, but that doesn't mean it would be rational of me to believe there was. And I've seen the clip where Alice Eve says "It's not Khan," and it's completely off the cuff and unthinking. There's no sign she's being calculating or careful to throw people off. In fact, I think if she'd stopped to think about it, she wouldn't have said anything, because even a denial is giving away too many specifics by Abrams's standards. (I think Pegg got in a bit of trouble by making the same denial months earlier.) She just blurted it out absently in the context of an awards-show interview that was mainly about other stuff. Unless she's spent weeks practicing for that situation so that she could lie unthinkingly, I'd say she was telling the truth. And you'd have to be really paranoid to think she'd go to those lengths to deceive rather than just saying nothing. As I've said, it's not about a single piece of evidence. No single assertion is reliable regardless of the source, which is why corroboration is essential. At this point, we have several corroborating pieces of relatively strong evidence pointing away from the Khan speculations. We have nothing but hearsay and rumor in the other direction. If some real evidence comes along pointing to Khan, of course I'll reassess the probabilities, because that's what a sensible person does. It's not about beliefs or hopes or deceptive things like that; it's about estimating probabilities based on the evidence. Of course probabilities can shift as new evidence comes along, but there's no sense in pre-emptively expecting the probabilities to go against the evidence. It could be that John Harrison is a disguised Khan, but that is far from the most likely scenario at this point. Anyway, it's a silly thing to waste time arguing over, because the movie will be out within three months and then we'll actually know.

« At its first and second sessions held from 6 to 10 June 2011 and 24 to 28 October 2011 respectively, the Working Group discussed its methods of work and other issues related to its mandate pursuant to Human Rights Council resolution 15/23.
A. Functioning of the Working Group
The Working Group decided to nominate a Chairperson-Rapporteur for a one year term on a rotation basis, changing each year in July, bar exceptional circunstances.
Ms. Kamala Chandrakirana was nominated as the first Chairperson-Rapporteur, followed by Ms. Frances Raday. Ms. Emna Aouij is the current Chairperrson-Rapporteur. Ms. Eleonora Zielinska will serve as the next Chairperson-Rapporteur.
Country missions
The Working Group conducts two to three country missions per year following invitations received from Member States. Country visits are conducted in the spirit of promoting constructive dialogue with States as well as collecting good practices in the elimination of discrimination against women in law and in practice.
Country visits will be undertaken, to the extent possible, by the Chair-Rapporteur together with another member of the Working Group from the region where the country visit takes place.
Members of the Working Group will avoid, to the extent possible, conducting official visits in their countries of origin.
As per standard practice, the final composition of the visit delegation will be communicated to the Government concerned during the preparation of the visit.
Engagement with states and other relevant key stakeholders
The outcomes of the above activities are intended to inform implementation of the mandate which the Working Group has been entrusted with.
Working Group sessions
The Working Group meets three times per year: January in New York, May and October in Geneva.
B. Implementation of the mandate of the Working Group: programme of work
Pursuant to Human Rights Council resolution 15/23, the Working Group's mandate includes the following tasks:
These tasks will be carried out through constructive dialogue and in cooperation with Member States, human rights mechanisms, inter-governmental bodies, relevant UN entities, regional and national human rights institutions, experts and civil society.
The Working Group is mindful of the work carried out by CEDAW, other treaty bodies and Special Procedures mandates, and intends to build on existing standards and initiatives developed by international and regional human rights mechanisms as well as on the available knowledge and tools produced to date by UN bodies, states and civil society on the subject matter.
The Working Group intends to address the elimination of discrimination against women in law and in practice based on the States' obligation to respect, protect, and fulfil women's human rights.
The Working Group intends to develop its approach to best practices by building on existing work on this issue by other mandate holders of the Special Procedures, including taking note of the preference towards using the terminology of 'good practices'. »

KALAMAZOO, Mich. – "American Idol" castoff Matt Giraud (jir-AHD') has returned home to a warm welcome in Kalamazoo, Mich., where he will be the guest of honor at a public party.
The event begins Thursday afternoon at Arcadia Creek Festival Place, an outdoor venue in downtown Kalamazoo. His "Idol" contract prohibits Giraud (jir-AHD') from performing.
Several dozen fans greeted Giraud (jir-AHD') when he arrived Wednesday evening at the Kalamazoo-Battle Creek International Airport. The 23-year-old singer-pianist says he didn't expect so many people to be waiting to greet him. He signed autographs and posed for pictures for about 30 minutes.
Giraud (jir-AHD') was voted off the popular Fox network singing competition last week. He finished in fifth place.

AIKEN, S.C.---23-year-old Barry Smith of Aiken has been arrested and charged with burglary and kidnapping.
The Aiken County Sheriff's Office says Smith attacked 24-year-old Valerie Woods when she arrived home from work this morning shortly before 8 o'clock. Smith and Woods have two children together.
Woods was carrying a four-year-old boy and a handgun, and when Smith ran towards her, she fired at him. Deputies say Smith briefly ran away, then tried to attack again, and was fired upon a second time.
Investigators say Woods locked herself in the house, but Smith kicked open the door and dragged her to her car and drove away, leaving the child behind. The child was unhurt.
Deputies stopped the car on Lloyd Town Road and arrested Smith. Woods was uninjured and reunited with her son.
Since April 2006, the sheriff's office has responded to approximately 40 calls for service at Woods' address on Morningside Drive. Two calls were domestic disputes, and the remainder were burglaries, well-being and patrol checks.
Smith is being held at the Aiken County Detention Center.
News 12 talked to Valerie Woods. She says she was scared when Smith came after her. She never expected it and says it happened so fast.
She says Smith wanted to make sure their four-year-old son, who they had left alone at the house, got to the school bus on time. So he tried to call Valerie's grandmother, but Valerie told Smith the child was at home. Smith then drove back to Valerie's house. But he saw officers in the area and headed to Lloyd Town Road. That's where Smith and Valerie were found, safe.
We talked to some neighbors today who say this area was quiet.. until today. Ella Scttles calls the nieghborhood home for abot 30 years. She thought it was peaceful, "but evidently, something is happening to it."
And she's not alone.
"It seems to be a quiet neighborhood. I've lived here for a littel bit - it's been pretty quiet," says another neighbor.
All 30 years Ella's been locking her doors. Something that won't change after this.
"I lock them all the time but I'll be double locking them this time."

Out of the box, Slackware ARM officially supports these systems:
Starting with Slackware ARM v14.0, packages are compiled for the following minimum target:
This means that the user space will run on the majority of ARM 32-bit devices on the market today.
Unlike the x86, usually each type of ARM device requires a specific kernel. So even on an "unsupported" ARM device, the majority (if not all) Slackware ARM packages will run on the device, you will need a specific Linux kernel for your device. Please read this article for a great introduction to this topic.
Much of the good well written documentation about ARM and Linux comes from the Debian developers.
Please read the following documents to learn more about Linux and ARM in general.
The number of officially supported devices on which Slackware ARM has been tested and can be installed "out of the box" is limited due to the number of ARM devices, availability of developer time and access to the hardware.
However, because the Slackware ARM packages have been compiled to run on most of the systems available today, usually all that is required is a new Kernel which can be "cross-compiled" by the user and some tweaking of the device's boot loader.
The Slackware ARM community have helped fill the void by providing installation documentation and other useful notes to help other users install Slackware onto these devices.
A community supported device is essentially an "overlay" to the Slackware ARM tree, and typically conforms to the following rules:Instructions and packages:
• Provides its own installation instructions
• Provides its own Kernel package(s)
• May (if applicable to the particular ARM device) provide its own Slackware Installer image, or provide a modified "miniroot"
• May provide additional packages specifically required to present a full Slackware experience (examples include graphics drivers and supporting libraries for those, but not anything else that isn't absolutely essential to the operation of the target hardware)
• May provide replacments of a very small number of Slackware ARM base packages in the case where there are some build-time changes required that cannot be incorporated into the official packages. Any such changes are due to the sole reason that without them, the OS cannot be properly used - choices of configuration based on the author's personal preferences are forbidden, as this constitutes a 'fork' which is not aligned with Slackware. Changes required to the Slackware packages should be posed to the Slackware ARM forum as they may be able to be incorporated into the base packages
• Uses all of the Slackware ARM binary packages, apart from exceptions as described above
Essentially, A Community Supported Device must have only a very minimal change set from the Slackware ARM official tree in order to be considered associated with Slackware ARM. For example: anybody making their own ARM port based on the Slackware ARM package build scripts (re-built for another base CPU architecture for example) does not meet the requirements to be considered in anyway attached to the official Slackware ARM port. This is purely because Patrick Volkerding has entrusted his brand name 'Slackware' to be associated with Slackware ARM, and as such every care is taken with the official port to adhere to its standards of quality. With a Community Supported Device adhering to the guidelines above, the risks of standards and quality concerns are limited to an acceptable degree.Help and support
Users of a Community Supported Device can raise questions on the Slackware ARM forum on LinuxQuestions.org, but should also consult the documentation
provided for that platform, as there may be a better or more appropriate place to send questions.

The Augusta GreenJackets hit into three double plays and only pushed two runners into scoring position in a 3-0 loss against the Lake County Captains from Classic Park on Thursday night.
Starting pitchers Andrew Reichard and TJ McFarland tossed zero after zero on the scoreboard until the sixth inning when Lake County's Donnie Webb homered on Reichard's second offering of the inning to give the Captains a 1-0 lead. Both teams benefited from great defense to kill rallies in the early innings.
The Captains added two more in the eighth when the GreenJackets left home plate unattended on a sacrifice bunt attempt and on Chris Nash's RBI single to stretch their lead to three runs.
Lake County would need no more after solid pitching all night long, first from McFarland and then from Francisco Jimenez. McFarland (7-4) got his first win in three starts with six shutout innings of three-hit baseball, striking out two and walking one. Jimenez got his first save of the season after firing three innings of two-hit baseball with three strikeouts, including a three-pitch strikeout of Francisco Peguero to end the game.
Augusta managed to get just one leadoff man aboard all night long and only stranded three because of the three double plays turned by the Lake County middle infield. Captains pitchers walked just one GreenJacket all night - a far cry from the two previous games in which they walked 12 hitters combined.
With the Captains headed to the Midwest League in 2010 with the Bowling Green Hot Rods, Thursday's game was the final meeting ever between the GreenJackets and Captains. The two teams split this four-game series at two apiece.

The packages in question have a "best if used by" date of Sept. 19, 2007, and a production code of "A24924A" or "A24924B."
The product was also sold in parts of Canada, and the states of Illinois, Indiana, Maine, Michigan, Virginia, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Tennessee and neighboring U.S. states.
A company spokesman says the romaine, green leaf and butter lettuce hearts in the blend were grown in California, Colorado and Ohio. They were processed at a Dole's plant in Ohio.

Paypal is so convenient and so many people use it, that it is very tempting to buy and sell websites using Paypal. Sellers have to be very careful when using Paypal to sell websites. Paypal does not support the sale of digital goods, and a website is a digital good that is downloaded after payment. All a dishonest buyer needs to do after the domain and site has been transferred is to file a Paypal dispute saying "Item not received" and often, Paypal will decide the dispute to the buyer's advantage. That leaves you, the seller, without a website, domain and without the payment for your site. Occasionally, with enough documentation, Paypal will decide in the seller's favor, but that's not the norm and is very risky to rely on that happening.
What can you do to reduce the risk of using Paypal for selling websites? Since the issue with Paypal is digital goods vs physical goods, turn your website into a physical good. Get your buyer's address and send the site to him via Certified Mail on CD. He has to sign for it and you have proof of delivery.
Another thing I've done for a larger sale is to put it in the listing that the domain will be held by me (pointing at the buyer's nameservers) for 60 days if Paypal payment is used. If they dispute the transaction, just point the nameservers back to your own host and you haven't lost your site or your domain. After 60 days, they cannot file a dispute in Paypal so it is safe then to transfer the domain to them.
One final thing that helps when you need to win a Paypal dispute over a website sale is to have a sale contract for the transaction. I use the one that Flippa sells and just fill in the details of the transaction. It's not as good as one an attorney would draw up for you, but it's good enough. I actually won a Paypal dispute where the buyer tried to say that they did not authorize the transaction and I escalated it to a claim and submitted all of my emails and pms plus the website contract to Paypal. That was enough proof for them to decide in my favor.
For large transactions, it is best to use an escrow service to handle the transaction. A couple of good ones that I've used are Escrow.com and Safefunds.com. Both will provide you with a much safer transaction, however, Safefunds.com does it a lot cheaper than Escrow.com. When using a escrow service, I always stipulate that buyer and seller with split the escrow fee. Both of us are being protected, so why should the seller take on all of the costs of that protection? Using Escrow.com's premium service over their standard service literally doubles your fees for escrow.
Although I've taken a risk numerous times and accepted Paypal for transactions of around $2,500, I recommend against doing that. To be safe, use an escrow service for transactions of $1,000 or more. You can use it for smaller transactions too if you want to and with Safefunds cheaper fees, there's really no reason not to.

I have to say, I was a little nervous installing this plugin because of the newness and 0 star rating. Boy did I get a pleasant surprise!
Not only has it worked flawlessly so far, but its very user-friendly, AND works with Buddypress and BBPress without a hiccup!
I couldn't sit here and let this awesome plugin have 0 stars any longer. I'm actually thinking of deactivating "Members" in favor of this. And considering the popularity of that plugin, that's quite a compliment.

The making of Japan Podshow
Nov 14
Hello there. Joseph here. In a cafe in Shibuya, opposite Sakuraya and that bright pink real estate agent on Center-gai. I have an hour to spare before meeting *Twinkle*, so thought I'd pen a few notes on all the stuff that's been going on. In this blog I'll be talking about podcasting.
First off then, we've finally reached the end of Japan Podshow series 1. It's been a lot of fun. Through the show I've been able to meet a lot of new people, reach out to others whom I respect and admire, explore podcast possibilities that I've carried for a number of years in my head, learn a lot more about audio editing, and more recently, learn even more about video editing.
Direct download links for Quicktime / iTunes friendly movie files:
The Japan Podshow experiment was a big success. I achieved what I set out to do, and feel that our total download figure (which doesn't include YouTube / facebook / embedded media player views&listens) of approximately 20,000 so far (and the listener feedback we've received) is proof that we created something of value that gives pleasure to others.
Whilst this show was not (and was never meant to be) monetised, the rewards have been immense, such as enabling me to get my foot in the door with two of Japan's largest English language media companies, and helping me get my new job (more on that in another post).
By far the biggest benefit has been the network of Tokyo-based people that it's put me in touch with. It's been a real lesson in how knowing people can completely change your experience of a place. Prior to starting out with this project, I had lived in Tokyo for a little over two years. In that time I actually made very few friends, choosing to stick with a handful of mates whom I first met during my first year here in Japan. Since then, thanks to the podcast and Twitter, my network has expanded into something I never would have thought possible to achieve in such a short space of time. Having these people around is a key part of my sense of wellbeing. I may not see them on a regular basis (other than on Twitter), but they are all an integral part of my existence here in Tokyo. They help flesh it out, give it more meaning.
The podcast also pushed me to start using Final Cut Express, and then, with episode 12 (which required the blurring of moving faces in public areas of the Ritz-Carlton hotel) Final Cut Pro. I still have a lot to learn, but I feel a lot more confident with video editing now than I did at the beginning of the year. That's something I always wanted to get my head around, so I'm delighted about that.
Episode 12 was a huge challenge. The arranging for guests to show up, negotiations with the Ritz-Carlton and actual filming were pretty easy – a lot of this was due to the amazing Linda Beltran, marketing manager at the hotel who was so accommodating that we found ourselves able to put most of our ideas intro practice without any problems. She is a star.
It was after than when I came to edit the hours of video from our three HD cameras that the challenge really began. In the end I think it took me about 5 full days. Trial-and-error was the way I proceeded – in hindsight I should have just sat down and watched a bunch of tutorial videos before I began. I'd never done anything like this before, and was still pretty much a novice when it came to Final Cut (as I think shows). Overall I'm pleased with the result – it's the best I can do with my current limitations (time, editing skill/experience, quality of the original footage).
One disappointment is the sound. I didn't plan this carefully enough, and it was only when I finally got to the export stage that I really started to appreciate just how dodgy this was in parts. If I was to do this again I'd have everyone wired up with quality radio mics (if someone would lend them to me!). The one radio mic we had was OK, but I should have tested it beforehand in order to appreciate just how it should be used. As it was this was all new to both myself and our fantastic cameraman Steve, and given time constraints on the day we didn't do any reviews during testing (something else I'd change next time).
Still, given that this project was totally unfunded and done in time remaining outside of a full time job in the space of a couple of weeks, I think it's OK. I'm proud to have it in my portfolio (daft though the content is).
The timing of the conclusion of this project is perfect – it coincides with the end of the day job that I've had for the past 13 months, and thus a big change in all of my routines. Japan Podshow has enabled me to forge ties that will now help me to move on to the next stage of crafting the life in Japan that I want. For that, I'm very grateful.
I don't know if or when we'll create a second series. I have an idea that if we do it will be pretty different. I think it was also need to be monetised in some way, as I don't think I can justify the time a second series would require. We'll see.
To finish off, I'd just like to say that I'm very thankful that I've had the support necessary to make the project a reality. Writing the credits for the final episode I was reminded of just how many people had taken part in it. Musicians, interviewees, advisers, sources of inspiration and emotional support. All played a part. A big thank you to all of them, it's very much appreciated.
Here's the youtube versions. The quality is a bit pants compared to the originals downloadable above.
Part one
Part two

Part four
Quite a memorable day today.
*Twinkle* and I
For our final episode of this series of Japan Podshow we knew we had to do something pretty special. We wanted to celebrate. Celebrate in Style.
A mysterious chain of events led us to the Ritz-Carlton Tokyo, located on floors 45-up in the Tokyo Midtown complex.
Upon arrival, we were shown to a Carlton Suite on the 49th floor – it was ours for the night.
Over the course of our time there a string of guests turned up to congratulate us on completing series one. Champagne was brought to our room, Bob Cratchit and his wife appeared in our bed, we had live music from Kat McDowell and a Japanese lesson with a very cute teacher.
We relaxed in the jaccuzi, ran 0.08km on the treadmill.
Japan's First Podcaster, Scott Lockman, presented us with a trophy.
It was all very cool.
The final episode, a video episode, will be released late next week over at www.JapanPodshow.com
In the meantime, here's a video from my iPhone, and a few pictures all taken by Steve Nagata

There is something about the corner of this 50-storey building that thrills me.
It's so sharp. So determined to cut through the air. So confident. You can't help but admire an attitude like that.
It's the corner of a building bordering Hamarikyu Gardens, photos of which you'll find below.
But before we get into that, I have a favour to ask of any readers connected with the University of Sheffield (my uni) – my kohai (person in class below me) Alice is a lovely girl, and has entered a competition to help promote the university. To win, she needs a decent number of views of a Youtube video she and several other of my kohai made – so please go and watch it – it's here (don't be fooled by the black opening) Thank you.
I've got podcasts coming out me ears this week.
First off, I'm really enjoying my private podcast (that's the one that shows up to the right of the Daily Mumble). In particular, this one got some attention this week. It's about my renewed determination to improve my Japanese.
I've since restarted my personal Japanese podcast (feed links in sidebar of The Daily Mumble), and am using that to update my long-neglected Japanese blog.
With language study, I firmly believe that if one is meeting repeated failure due to a 'lack of time' etc, you have to figure something out that fits in with existing routines. This does for me.
I've also finally got the sumo video out, which underwent a major re-write following a private viewing for *Twinkle*!! This is not meant to be taken seriously.
(If you subscribe to Japan Podshow you'll find this in the feed.
Then accompanying that, we have episode 11.5 of Japan Podshow. I don't feel this is up to standard, and think this is mainly due to the fact that it was recorded outside of the studio where we were limited in what we could do. Still, that's OK.
I drew the artwork on the Hibiya and Ginza subway lines, in case you were wondering. I do enjoy drawing elephants!
I just have to finish off the full interview with Nathan of Hear Japan for Making it in Japan – should be able to do that tomorrow.
I'm determined to start running again – and have run for the past two days, and will again tomorrow (GPS route with embedded photos of this morning's jog here, courtesy of the iPhone).
I was happily surprised by how the iPhone handled this spider (which incidentally I blogged about this morning over on Dannychoo.com).
After the run it was off to Hamarikyu Gardens with *Twinkle* and a friend visiting from Madrid. I blogged this photo too.
Here's a shot of Tokyo Bay from above, with Hamarikyu in the foreground (taken on the iPhone again. In fact all of these were).
Also this week I met up with dear friend Paul P back in Japan for a quick visit, with CNet / Japan Times journalist friend Rick to discuss Augmented Reality apps (he might use some of the info I provided in a JT article next week), oh, and continuing to correspond with Ian the documentary maker regarding film-making. Who knows what the future holds.
The day job is going OK.
Eyes are tired though, and the Macbook needs to be seen to – the sound card seems a bit dodgy, i.e. all system audio turns into loud static pops after lengthy editing sessions. Not good. Just need to get to a time when I don't need it for video editing all the time, like the beginning of November when Japan Podshow is done.
Things are good though. Exhausted, but excitement and motivation levels are high. Gotta make the most of the time we've got!
Been a great day today. You can hear all about it in the Audioboo embedded below, but I just wanted to share this photo, taken whilst I was interviewing our special guest musician on Japan Podshow earlier today, Nobuki Ueda.
I'm a lot less stressed now. Not entirely sure why, but one reason might be that I've given up being grumpy at home (as I had been for a couple of sleep-deprived weeks). Makes such a difference!
Life is bloomin wonderful.

Scott Spielman of Los Altos had a nice week at the Foothills Mid-Peninsula Senior Championships at Foothills Tennis and Swimming Club in Palo Alto. Spielman and Henry Kamakana teamed up to win the 65-and-over doubles title, beating Dick Svedeman and John Penero 6-4, 6-3 on Friday. On Thursday, Spielman won the 65-and-over singles crown.
"Scott carried me a lot," said Kamakana, tennis pro at Foothills. "He played great."
Svedeman, a Los Altos resident, hurt his knee at a national tournament in Vancouver, Wash., a few weeks ago. Svedeman is boys tennis coach at Mountain View's St. Francis High.
"The knee was no excuse," Svedeman said. "It didn't hold me back. They played really well. They hit a lot of lobs and changed formations. They played smart."
"We adjusted," Kamakana said. "They didn't. They crowded the net and we hit the ball behind them. We always had an exit shot."
Svedeman is adept at covering a lot of ground and, according to Kamakana, did so on one point.
"Dick must have ran four miles on one point," Kamakana said.
One scheduled match Friday was not played. Jay Gray of Menlo Park and Dennis Olson of Mountain View won by default over Stephen McGillin and Peter Zedak in a 60-and-over doubles first-round match.
The best player in the overall field, John Saviano, plays Palo Alto's Paul Stein in a 45-and-over singles match this morning at 10:30. Saviano is a graduate of Gunn High in Palo Alto, class of 1980.

Somebody Needs to Explain to Nick Jonas That Violence Isn't the Answer
8/25/2014 1:00 PM PDT, by Emily Trainham
You probably never imagined that Nick Jonas would be such a weird, creeper of a guy -- to be honest though, you probably never imagined much at all about Nick Jonas -- but you know what? He is! He's kind of scary and possessive, with just a touch of violence thrown in for good measure, and it's not good at all. Not one bit.
See, Nick has this new single coming out soon called "Jealous." And here's the story about how he wrote the song after someone checked out his girlfriend:
"I saw someone looking at her ass when we were out one night. It really upset me. The next day I went into the studio and wrote the song. So I got something good out of the experience even though in the moment it was frustrating. But I was also in the middle of shooting Kingdom where I play an MMA fighter, so I was all pumped up on testosterone feeling like I could beat someone up. Thankfully, I didn't."
Yeah, that sounds like a totally reasonable reaction, right? After all, Nick is dating Olivia Culpo, also known as Miss USA 2012, so he shouldn't have to deal with anyone checking her out ever. And it's completely natural for him to carry that anger over to the next day, and to use that rage to compose a song. And come on, he was "feeling like I could beat someone up"? If you don't understand that, then you probably don't understand anything.
Just kidding, y'all. Take it easy out there. Don't be a freak-outer like Nick here. Keep a hold on yourselves.

The Forecaster - Andy's Handy Store
Andy's Handy Store in Yarmouth loses a mail contract with the US Postal ServiceUPDATED 8:59 AM EDT Oct 27, 2013
Andy's Handy Store on Main Street in Yarmouth has been a part of the community since the 1930's. But one recent change has the current store owner and people in the community looking for answers from the United States Postal Service. WMTW News 8's Thema Ponton talks with The Forecaster's Brendan Twist about the what's next for the store.Video Transcript
áANDY'S HANDY STOREá ON MAIN STREET IN YARMOUTH HAS BEEN A PART OF THE COMMUNITY SINCE THE 1930'S. BUT ONE RECENT CHANGE HAS THE CURRENT STORE OWNER AND PEOPLE IN THE COMMUNITY LOOKING FOR ANSWERS... FROM THE UNITED STATES POSTAL SERVICE. THE FORECASTER'S BRENDAN TWIST TAKES A CLOSER LOOK. Postal services not-so- handy after Yarmouth store loses contract The Forecaster Staff Brendan Twist But for the first time in nearly 15 years, they've been unable to purchase stamps or money orders or ship packages. New owner Matthew Williams bought the variety store, a fixture on Main Street since the 1930s, from Tom and Andrea Hutchinson over the summer. But it turned out postal contracts don't just transfer from one owner to the next; the U.S. Postal Service closed its account at the store in late September. "They took my stamps, my scale, everything," Williams said. "But I'm fighting like crazy. I'm bugging the hell out of them to get it back." Business has taken a big hit due to the loss of postal services, Williams said. "People would come in for stamps and buy a sandwich," Williams said. "I was shipping 10 to 20 packages a day, and doing a lot of money orders. We could be losing 20 or 30 people every day. "But the big point is, we're a community store," he said, "and the community misses the post office." Williams put a petition at the cash register last week and encouraged customers to sign it in support of returning postal services to the store. He already has more than 200 signatures. When he has 400, he plans to bring the petition to a Portland post office. He's not sure what that will accomplish, but he said he feels he has to try. The USPS, for its part, has presented Williams with options for continuing stamp sales. "That was the one thing they did say I could do," Williams said. "I'm going to look into it. But I think it's lame to just be able to do stamps." "The sale of postage stamps comprises almost all of the postal activity and revenue at that location," Tom Rizzo, spokesman for the USPS Northern New England District, said in an email. "It would be irresponsible for the self-supporting US Postal Service, which receives no tax dollars, to contract out additional services when the distance to the full-service Yarmouth Post Office is a mere 0.7 miles away." Yarmouth's post office was on Main Street, diagonally across from Town Hall, until the late 1990s, when it moved to Forest Falls Drive. Shortly thereafter, the Handy Store, under the ownership of Glenn and Susan McAllister at the time, entered a contract agreement with the USPS to provide services. Why does Yarmouth need a contract post office in the Handy Store, when the Forest Falls Drive location is less than a mile away? When longtime resident Jim Saunders Jr. came into the store on a recent afternoon for a newspaper and a cup of coffee, he said the corner of Main Street and Elm Street, where the Handy Store sits, is Yarmouth's crossroads. "This is Yarmouth's Times Square, when all is said and done," he said. "The post office couldn't have thought of a better place to have a little auxiliary mail station. It's been a wonderful service. I do miss it. I hope the post office will revisit the subject before long and restore it." Some customers said Main Street was just more walkable; others called the Handy Store a faster, more pleasant place to do business than the full-service branch. Mark Storms, another Yarmouth resident, blamed the federal government while signing the petition. "Putting a post office in here was one of the smartest things they ever did, and now they've taken it away," he said. "I'm fed up with the baloney. They have no conscience." Williams said he's had trouble reaching the USPS, though he did speak to a representative about the possibility of reassigning the contract. In the meantime, he may start selling stamps. He'll definitely keep trying to foster a community atmosphere in the store. Williams has replaced its Subway franchise with his own deli counter. His mother-in-law makes the baked goods. And he's behind the register every day, cracking jokes with the regulars and doling out the occasional freebie to neighborhood kids. "We're trying to build a real community store here," Williams said. "We think the post office is part of that."

text: ok, so I am a full time second shift employee at an insurance company, but I really dislike my job and this is not what I went to college to do with my life, so I am going back to school to get masters on route to my doctorate, but the course I need to take to get my master are mostly offered at night which conflicts with my job. Thankfully I have a sugar moma for a wife who is a nurse and earns enough that I could drop to part time and go to school fulltime no problem. But I need to wait until I hear about my graduate assistantship and my loans to tell my boss that I want to drop to part time, my loans are approved but of course my school is 3 months late with deciding assistantship, in the mean time people in my department at work are dropping like flies, 4 in the last 2 months and another about to quit. So now I am worried that when I ask to go part time they are going to give me a hard time about it. Why does it seem like everytime I get something worked out for the better in my life someone has to shake my little snow globe and make it all cloudy again!
