Was teaching a classmate how to knit...
Was showing her continental-style (trying to, anyway) two other classmates are knitters but knit English style and were observing "my way" and were fascinated. One of them watched carefully and said my way seems faster/easier. I told her it's awesome if she learns to do both, will come in handy (read that here somewhere.) I was careful to be diplomatic about the styles of knitting, and explained to the noob I was showing that she should use whatever style works for her, could by my way or English knitting or something else (Eastern?)
I found it hilarious I've only done two dishcloths and two garter stitch scarves and a noob thinks I'm some kind of expert. :roflhard:
No matter what stage you are at yourself, there will always be people who have more experience than you and people who have less experience than you. Compared to where your friend is at right now, you are more experienced. Just because you feel like you're a "beginner" yourself doesn't mean that you don't have anything to offer others who are just learning ... we're all continuously learning!
Who knows, maybe the tips/advice you've offered will be the thing that gets her interested in learning more about knitting! :knitting:
I referred her to this site, the videos here helped me out a lot. Another friend of mine can only crochet. I looked at some crochet vids on youtube, it's a lot more complicated! Next time I see her I'm gonna show her how to Continental, since crochet = yarn in left hand? In any case, I'm useless to show anyone English style, since I can't do it. :D
Yep, it's very helpful to learn both. When I started I could only knit english..continental just eluded me, but I pushed it and now I can do both equally well.
It's not really fair to say one is better than the other so you did very good being diplomatic. :thumbsup:Everyone should knit with what they feel comfortable with. :hug:
I pretty much only crochet, and to tell you the truth, I think it is much faster and more entertaining than knitting. To me, knitting seems much slower and more complicated (directions etc.) than crochet. Just my opinion.
Hi! :waving:
What's a "noob"? :)
Also, here's a great tutorial on continental knitting, the best I've ever seen and it helped me sort out some confusions on the subject.
Hope this helps!
I think it's a big boost to your confidence to learn all styles of knitting. I prefer to knit eastern or combination, but I can knit continental if I have a lot of decreases and just don't feel like messing with the conversions. I need to learn English for knitting with color. I've watched the videos and it really does seem to make it a tad bit easier.
I've been told that if you aren't trying to be rude that you should put it as "newb". Just a shortened version of "newbie"

|HylaFAX The world's most advanced open source fax server
How do I check whether or not HylaFAX is having problems converting email attachments prior to sending them as part of a fax? Is there a log that I can check which follows through receiving the email, processing attachments, then sending it to HylaFAX to send? If there is, where would I find it?
I'm trying to build an email to fax gateway, so I can send a PDF file to a fax recipient simply by emailing it to the fax server. So far I can send an email to the fax server and the body text of that email is faxed to the number I specified.
However I can't make it fax a PDF file, or a TIFF file, and I don't know
where to check what's going wrong. The received fax just contains the
MIME-encoded version of the file. I have scripts in the mimetype directory
which I *think* are correctly named and operational, but I've no idea whether
Hylafax is even calling them or not.
I find the 'how-to' quite brief for non-Linux people like me, and of course now it's nearly working it's all the more frustrating..

Sula Choices Quotes
How we cite our quotes: Citations follow this format: (Year.Paragraph)
Quote #7
But thinking that Sula had an odd way of looking at things and that her wide smile took some of the sting away from that rattlesnake over her eye. (1937.177)
Jude articulates the idea that we can choose how we see things, and this can impact the way others see us. To some extent, we are in control of the way we perceive other people.
Quote #8
At twenty-nine she knew it would be no other way for her, but she had not counted on the footsteps on the porch, and the beautiful black face that stared at her through the blue-glass window. Ajax. (1939.46)
Sometimes choices come in the form of other people. Just when Sula thinks she has no choices left, Ajax presents her with a different option.
Quote #9
"[ . . .] Every man I ever knew left his children." "Some were taken." "Wrong Nellie. The word is 'left.'" (1940.44-10.46)
Did Jude choose to leave his family, or was the choice made for him? That is the crux of this conversation, and it shows some pretty stark differences between Nel and Sula. Nel faults Sula for "taking" her husband, but Sula places the burden of choice on Jude.

Kilkenny and Clare face-off in Semple Stadium in the Bord Gáis Energy GAA Hurling U-21 Championship final
Updated: Saturday, 15 Sep 2012 17:52 | Comments
Semple Stadium in Thurles hosts the Bord Gáis Energy GAA Hurling U-21 Championship Final with Clare taking on Kilkenny in a rematch of the 2009 final, throw-in 7.00pm.
Clare won that game to claim their only U-21 title to date winning by a solitary point, and they head into the 2012 final on the back of one of the most one sided semi-finals in recent memory.
The Banner defeated Antrim on a score line of 4-24 to 0-8 and were on top in every position throughout the field.
Unsurprisingly, the same 15 will line out again and in captain and full-forward Conor McGrath they have a player of huge stature and his ability to find the back of the net will be a huge factor on Saturday.
Indeed, McGrath is one of a number of forwards who have impressed for Clare throughout their march to the All-Ireland decider with Tony Kelly and Padraic Collins also being inspirational in the half-forward line.
If Donal Moloney and Gerry O'Connor's charges are to come out on top they will need these three to be firing on all cylinders.
Arguably Kilkenny come into this U-21 Final in better form.
The Black and Amber have been very impressive to date and put reigning All-Ireland champions Galway to the sword in their previous outing, winning by seven.
The Cats forwards have been ruthless all year and Ger Aylward in particular has caught the eye with 1-03 in the Semi-Final.
However, like all Kilkenny teams, they are not overly reliant on one individual and the starting 15 is littered with players ready to step up in the heat of battle.
Cillian Buckley, Richie Doyle, Walter Walsh and John Power will not be shy in stamping their authority on the game.
With no injury concerns, Kilkenny manager Richie Mulrooney and his selectors have again entrusted the same fifteen that defeated the Tribesmen with the task of regaining All Ireland glory for the first time since 2008.
Clare will no doubt be backed by a strong support and should have no fear having dispatched Waterford and Tipperary already this year.
Indeed the manner of their win over Tipp should give them confidence that if they can avoid the wides that littered their performance that day, they have a great chance.
However, with the Kilkenny forwards looking so impressive to date, the Cats may have too much firepower for Clare.
Clare: R. Taaffe, P. Flanagan, D. McInerney, K. Ryan, P. O'Connor, C. Ryan, S. Morey, C. Galvin, S. Golden, T. Kelly, P. Collins, A. Cunningham, C. McInerney, C. McGrath, C. O'Connell
Kilkenny: D. Walsh, J. Corcoran, W. Phelan, B. Kennedy, L. Harney, R. Doyle, J. Lyng, G. Brennan, O. Walsh, K. Kelly, P. Walsh, C. Buckley, W. Walsh, J. Power, G. Aylward

The Grand Jours de Bourgogne tastings began a few days ago with the traditional start to the event held in the northern region of Chablis. While our preferred focus was on the famed chardonnays of this famous region, one can easily be immersed (or most likely distracted) by the diversity of wines that come from the northern reaches of Burgundy.
Consumers and the trade are guilty of thinking that chardonnay and pinot noir represent the entirety of what is produced there. But there are intriguing subregions in the north including the Grand Auxerrois that sees minerally and racy sauvignon blancs emanating from the chalk soils of Saint-Bris, aligote wines that are more frequently found further south in the Cotes Chalonnaise and even some sturdy pinot noirs from the cold area of Irancy.
We just received an update from JJ Buckley's Burgundy specialist Jeff Loo who is our man on the scene at this year's Grand Jours tastings. He will compile tasting notes for the top wines of each commune while offering commentary on how each village fared with the 2012 vintage. The best of his on-the-scene reporting will be summarized along with his notes in a JJ Buckley report on the 2012 Burgundies to be published shortly after his return.
In the meantime here are a few observations from Jeff on his visit to Chablis:
"In 2012, it's not just the grand cru or premier cru bottlings to look for. In this vintage, the village level wines and the lesser appellations found amazing success. The 12's are very good compared to the 2010's. They have an incredible roundness to them as though they already had enough bottle age to develop that 'fatness' that comes out in white Burgundies with age. Many winemakers considered the 2012's as a combination of the styles found in 2009 and 2010 Chablis melding the fineness and acidity from '10 and the richly textured fruit from 2009. There really wasn't a dog at this day's tastings."
The Tuesday tastings will be one of Jeff's toughest days of the Grand Jours as he shuttles between four communes in the northern Cotes d'Or. He'll be jostling and fighting for tastes of the crus of Vosne Romanee at the historic chateau of Clos Vougeot and then running up north to Marsannay to sample the wines from the commune of Gevrey Chambertin. In between he has tastings of wines from Nuits St. Georges, Morey St. Denis, Chambolle Musigny and more. Wow, I'm just tired writing about it.
Stay tuned!!
Drink with Jeff by enjoying these tasty Chablis:

Arsenal have completed their first deal of the summer, with Arsene Wenger having having signed Barcelona forward Alexis Sanchez.
Sanchez scored 19 goals in 34 La Liga appearances last season, but has been allowed to leave the Nou Camp in order to make way for Liverpool striker Luis Suarez.
The Chile international, who impressed for his country at the World Cup, is likely to feature from either the left of midfield or as a central striker for Arsene Wenger's team and is the club's second most expensive signing in history after club-record signing Mesut Ozil.
Sanchez will compete with Santi Cazorla and Lukas Podolski on the left of the Gunners' midfield, as well as covering central forward Olivier Giroud.
The arrival of Sanchez will bring much-needed pace to the team, as well as an additional attacking threat.
Here are three Arsenal players that will benefit from the arrival of Sanchez at the Emirates.
Mesut Ozil
As the season progressed – and Ozil's form dropped – the argument that he needs to be surrounded by pace in order to best function gained increasing traction.
At Real Madrid he was the creative catalyst to Cristiano Ronaldo's 2012/13 form, with the Portuguese forward ready to run in behind defences almost as soon as Ozil got the ball, and with Sanchez he can do the same.
Arsenal's lack of pace in the second half of last season allowed defences to push up higher safe in the knowledge that Olivier Giroud was not going to run in behind, subsequently squeezing Ozil's space and robbing him of options.
Sanchez and the return of Walcott will make teams think twice before squeezing Arsenal high up the pitch, giving Ozil more space and the pacey targets to aim for.
In the six games that both he and Walcott started last season Ozil created 20 chances including three assists – one third of his season's total – assisting at a rate of one every 176 minutes to one every 268 minutes over the games that Ozil started but Walcott did not.
Alongside Ozil, Walcott will also benefit from the introduction of a fellow speed-merchant into the side. Going forward, the pair can be expected to be lethal on the break, while pace from the left as well as the right would reduce the ability of teams to double up on and make specific plans for dealing with Walcott's speed.
Sanchez may have operated from the right for Barcelona last season, but is likely to find himself central or left for Arsenal and will provide the pacey outlet on that flank that has been lacking in recent years, making him a perfect foil to Walcott. Both men have pace, can create chances and possess an eye for goal and in tandem can wreak havoc on opposition defences.
Throw Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain into the equation and the lack of pace that plagued the team at times last season is long gone.
Olivier Giroud
The final selection may appear a strange one, given that attacking reinforcements are likely to see Giroud play less and that Sanchez has been mooted as a possible central-striker, but as a pragmatist Sanchez is probably the best headline signing that Giroud could hope for.
Arsenal were always likely to sign a marquee forward this summer and the fact that it is a predominantly wide one is a better outcome for Giroud than a headline central-striker, with Sanchez providing cover centrally rather than being a replacement.
Giroud also fits into the camp of playing better with pace around him, having hardly been blessed with speed himself. With Sanchez and Walcott from wide areas Giroud has space within which to utilise his skill at holding the ball up and picking out a team-mate, while Sanchez's pace is also likely to lead to more chances for Giroud from wide areas.

Forcing Aging Partners to Retire: Fair or Foul?
Much of corporate America has jettisoned mandatory retirement ages. Big law firms, for the most part, have not. That's the focus of a story in today's New York Times on the practice of white-shoe firms forcing 60-something-old lawyers to leave the partnership to make room for the younger legal beagles. But firms are beginning to reevaluate what some see as an antiquated policy.
The Times spoke with Leslie Corwin of Greenberg Traurig, which has no mandatory retirement age: "There needs to be a re-evaluation of retirement issues in the legal community — 65 isn't old anymore." And Mark Alcott, a Paul Weiss partner and president of New York's bar association, told the Times he's created a committee that is talking to firms about their policies: "I'm calling on the profession to recognize that forced retirement of partners is archaic, it's not necessary, and I'm trying to change the culture rather than impose liability and legal solutions on law firms."
The story focuses on Paul Victor, an antitrust lawyer who spent 38 years as a partner at Weil Gotshal. Faced with a mandatory retirement upon turning 68 last month, Victor packed up his Sherman Act treatises and moved to Dewey Ballantine, where he was named a partner. The story also discusses the closely watched two-year-old federal lawsuit in Chicago brought by the EEOC on behalf of 32 aging partners against Sidley Austin alleging age discrimination.
Law Blog Question of the Day: Richard Davis, Weil Gotshal's general counsel, told the Times that enforcing mandatory retirement "inherently has some risk," "but on an overall basis, we think it's the right approach." But in a world where the all-stars of American industy routinely play into their 70s and 80s — e.g., Buffett (76), Greenberg (81), Redstone (83), Kerkorian (89) — is it?

RED CLOUD GARRISON - Personnel claims allow Soldiers and Army civilian employees to be compensated for property loss and damage sustained incident to service. Many Soldiers file personnel claims when their household goods are lost or damaged during shipment. These comprise the vast majority of personnel claims. However, personnel claims may also be filed in other situations, for example, when Soldiers sustain losses due to fire or flood at on-post quarters. Until recently, claimants had to mail claims documents or visit the local military claims office and turn in the claim in person.
The Personnel Claims Army Information Management System (PCLAIMS), which began in October 2009, provides more options for filing personnel claims. Claims may now be filed electronically or in hard copy, and they may be filed directly against the carrier or against the government.
This new program permits Soldiers and eligible Army Civilian employees to file personnel claims against the government through the Internet, rather than having to physically visit or mail documents to a military claims office. Although paper copies of claims will still be accepted at claims offices, the new program should make it easier and faster for Army Knowledge Online registered claimants to file claims for property loss. A claimant without an AKO account must still contact their nearest military claims office to file a claim.
PCLAIMS can be accessed at the Judge Advocate General's Corps Internet site at www.jagcnet.army.mil. Click on the U.S. Army Claims Service link and then click on the PCLAIMS link. The PCLAIMS link will describe the rules for filing personnel claims and will allow you to complete the required forms on line.
When using PCLAIMS, you will be asked to list all of your lost or damaged property, the purchase dates and costs, and replacement or repair costs, a requirement whether you file your claim electronically or at the claims office. Basic supporting documents, such as a government bill of lading (for transportation related claims), estimates of repair, and photos of damaged property can be scanned and added to the electronic claim. If you do not have access to a scanner, documents can be mailed or hand-carried to a military claims office, where they will be added to your claim file.
PCLAIMS should not be confused with the Full Replacement Value (FRV) program, the system applicable to transportation related claims since 2007, or the Defense Personnel Property Program (DP3), a computerized transportation program applicable to many household goods shipments since 2008. Under FRV and DP3, Soldiers and Army Civilian employees are encouraged to file transportation related claims directly against the carrier responsible for the loss.
PCLAIMS cannot be used to file claims against carriers; it can only be used for personnel claims filed against the government. Claimants who are dissatisfied with carrier settlement offers under the Full Replacement Value (FRV) or Defense Personnel Property Program (DP3) may reject the settlement offers and file their claims against the government. Such claimants can use PCLAIMS to file these new claims, but should contact the nearest military claims office before doing so. Comments or questions about PCLAIMS should be addressed to the 2nd Infantry Division Claims Offices in Freeman Hall (Bldg 631, USAG-Red Cloud, 732-6017), Maude Hall (Bldg 2440, USAG-Casey, 730-3687), or the Consolidated Legal Center on USAG-Humphreys (Bldg 734, 753-6245).

I continue to rack up the miles. I did a 30k race over the weekend. Despite the calendar saying it is spring, there was not spring in the air. The temperature was more appropriate for the end of February not the end of March. When I started the race the temperature was around 25 degrees. Not that warm. All the race I completed this year so far were down at or below freezing. That is crazy to me. I am not a cold weather person so for me to run these races in freeze temperatures is pretty amazing.
I did the 30k a part of the Just A Short Run. They offered several different distances to run and the 30k was the longest. The race was held in North Park just north of Pittsburgh. I did my previous race at North Park as well. The race course started and ended at the same place. I did the lake loop again but in reverse. The race started a little different with a 3.5 run through some other areas of the park and then to the loop. I would not call this course flat. There is so decent hills especially at the beginning leg and the loops have some good rolls. I feel that this was a good race for a warm-up to the Pittsburgh Marathon.
I am sore today. Not bad enough I cannot walk but enough that I feel sore especially in my buttocks and calves. I hate the hours after races. I feel terrible, and there is little that makes me feel comfortable. I am not a napper. I always try to take a nap, and it never works. I did go to bed early. I woke up at a normal time but I feel sluggish today. I hope tomorrow I feel refreshed and ready to go.
This is going to be a crazy week. It is my last week at the Penn Hills YMCA. I finish my duties at the YMCA on Thursday. On Thursday evening I am going to my old high school's musical, Godspell. On Friday, I leave for Washington D.C. for the weekend to go to the Cherry Blossom Festival. Then on Monday I start my new job. A lot happening in a short amount of time. I am glad this is rest week. I have some extra rest days and shorter runs. Good for me.
Have a good week!
I loved that I was able to say my short run is only 6 miles this week, and then seeing the look on everyone's face. Haha. Priceless. I got my first rest week, mico-cycle week, break week, or whatever you want to call it. Also, my total miles for the week were decreased. I could feel my body needing this week. I have not had a lot of problems with mileage or long runs but I just wanted a break. I was not discouraged this week and my mental process has been very good. I feel good so far, and hope to continue with my body feeling very good.
The week has been very cold and the weather has been poor. Pittsburgh had a decent amount of snow on Thursday night and Friday morning with about 5-6 inches of snow. After the snow, extreme cold weather came into the area. Pittsburgh is definitely not hitting the freezing mark. Single digits and teens are more common highs. My longs runs are done on Saturday. I did a quick drive around my neighborhood, I was not comfortable running outside. The snow was not removed well and the snow remaining was very compacted and looked icy. I am not comfortable running outside in those conditions. Plus, at the times I was scheduled to do my runs the temperatures were around 0 with wind. I have not problems running in cold temperatures but when the wind chills are in the negatives I do not feel comfortable outside. I was lucking that I only had six miles this week. I did the run on the treadmill.
I hope for some warming temperatures this week and weekend. I always feel cold and would like to get some warmth on my body. I am ready to run some more.
Big day here in Pittsburgh: Steelers playing for the AFC championship. HERE WE GO STEELERS!
The winter has been cold. The snowfall has not been too bad but the cold weather has been tough. I saw on the news the other day since December 1 we have only been above freezing maybe 4 or 5 times. I want some warmth. A couple of days consistently above freezing would be wonderful.
I have decided to change my training schedule a little. Instead of having only one day of week of cross-training, I am going to do two. I have decided to do the cross-training with the scheduled strength training on Tuesday and Thursday. I like doing cross-training activities. Also, my runs on Thursday have been very poor or I have not had the mental focus I would like. I think this change will help me because I need another small break from running during the week, and I get to add some activities I really enjoy.
I just purchased a Nike+ for my iPod. I wanted a tracking system for my runs and this is the one that seemed to fit everything I wanted. I already had the iPod. I took it on my run yesterday for 7 miles. I decided not to calibrate it before I ran. Bad idea. The Nike+ definitely needs calibrated. I need to do that sometime this week. I ran for about 60 minutes yesterday which the Nike+ said was 7 miles. I know my pace is not good enough to run 7 miles in 60 minutes. I figured I ran approximately 6.5 miles in reality. I just wanted to test the Nike+ now before I got into long runs. I will calibrate this week. I have a micro-cycle this week with six miles on the weekend. That is a good distance to see how my calibration is compared to my time and actual distance.
I am very grateful for the rest day today and the micro-cycle this week. I have developed a small cold. Only annoying and nothing serious. Some nasal congestion and drainage which is leading to a sore throat. I think the sore throats are the worse. I hate waking up in the morning with a pain in my throat and the pain of swallowing. I will get by, lets of fluids and some vitamin C are in order to beat this bugger quickly.
I am back running. I am currently doing all my running on a treadmill. The weather currently is a little too cold for me. Plus, the times I am available to run are in the early morning or late evening in the dark. I am not comfortable running in the dark and add the single digit windchills, I am just fine running inside.
I just got back from a trip to NYC. I was able to do some crosstraining on an elliptical and a stairclimber while I was visiting. I was glad to be able to keep moving while I was visiting the best city in the world.
Life is a little tough right now. I am not enjoying my job and Christmas is not really in my heart this year. I need to finish my shopping. I can't believe 2010 is almost over.
I am excited to say I just got a new pair of running shoes. The last year or two I have been running in Under Armour shoes. Under Armour shoes were not available in my size so I switched back to Brooks. I am excited to be wearing the Brooks Illusions once again. I went to a running store to get fitted so I am very excited to get to wear the new shoes.
Hope everyone has a great Holiday Season.
I have not run since the Turkey Trot. It is a combination of laziness and letting my leg heal. My knee does not hurt anymore. If actually feels good. I have been doing a lot of cross training. I have tried to focus on low impact exercise. This past week has been good because I think I needed a break from workouts. I needed to refocus.
An artic blast has hit the US. I went for a walk on Saturday. Thank goodness because the wind and cold are not my idea of good running weather. I will hopeful get a thirty minute run in tomorrow on the treadmill.
This weekend I head to New York City. Very excited to see a great fun, and the sights of the city. I don't know how much I will get to workout or run but that is fine. This trip is about having a good time with friends.
I am new to the world of running. I am golfer that is looking for another way to compete in amateur events.

White Teeth
by Zadie Smith
White Teeth History and the Past Quotes
How we cite our quotes: (Chapter.Paragraph)
Quote #1
So there existed fathers who dealt in the present, who didn't drag ancient history around like a ball and chain. So there were men who were not neck-deep and sinking in the quagmire of the past. (12.326)
After dealing with Archie and Samad, Irie is pretty blown away by Marcus Chalfen. Why do Archie and Samad drag the past around with them everywhere they go? Why do they need it so much?
Quote #2
The rest is that terrible thing: history. (13.28)
In White Teeth, history takes up a lot of space. It is required to explain just about everything that's going on in the present. And it isn't always pretty.
Quote #3
"I see. Is she Hindu? Muslim? She ain't Sikh, is she?"
"That is the worst of it," said Samad, his voice breaking. "English. White. English."
Shiva shook his head. "I been out with a lot of white birds, Samad. A lot. Sometimes it's worked, sometimes it ain't. Two lovely American girls. Fell head over heels for a Parisian stunner. Even spent a year with a Romanian. But never an English girl. Never works. Never."
"Why?" asked Samad, attacking his thumbnail with his teeth and awaiting some fearful answer, some edict from on high. "Why not, Shiva Bhagwati?"
"Too much history" was Shiva's enigmatic answer, as he dished up the Chicken Bhuna. "Too much bloody history." (6.216-220)
Shiva says that it will never work between a Bengali Muslim man like Samad and a white English woman like Poppy Burt-Jones (not that Samad wants to leave Alsana for her). There is too much history between their countries and races for even a relationship between individuals to survive. History is powerful stuff.

The portrait was taken in 1979 by British photographer Peter Mitchell. Two men stand in front of their dilapidated garage on Craven Road in Leeds. Mitchell, who was employed as a draughtsman for the ministry of housing before studying art, worked as a lorry driver in Leeds in the 1970s. His work chronicles the demolition and rebuilding of the city, and the shifting lives of its inhabitants. Mitchell always asked permission to photograph his subjects, shooting them head-on and from a distance: the figures here are strangely formal against a background that has fallen into disrepair.
A 1979 show of his work was the first colour photography exhibition at a UK gallery by a British photographer; in 2007 he was included in Tate Britain's How We Are: Photographing Britain. His new monograph, Strangely Familiar (2013), presenting Leeds over 36 years, is published by Nazraeli Press. Harriet Crawford

Leslie Mann and Paul Rudd debate 'likable' and 'relatable' as we discuss 'This Is 40'
I think it's pretty safe to say that no one writes for Leslie Mann the way Judd Apatow does, and it's been fascinating to see the evolution of that from "The 40-Year-Old Virgin" until "This Is 40."
The thing I love in the characters she plays in his films is the way she mixes this remarkable frankness with an intense vulnerability. She's great all the way through "Knocked Up," but the moment where I fell for the character completely came about 2/3 of the way through. I'm going to bet most fans of that film think of the same moment first when they think of Debbie, that great scene when she is trying to get into a club and Craig Robinson plays the bouncer that has to explain why he can't let her in.
It's amazing, profane and well-observed, and what starts as a joke gets very real, then completely surreal, all in the space of about two minutes. Her rant manages to do it all, and the reaction from Robinson is solid gold.
"I'm not going to go to the end of the f**king line! Who the f**k are you? I have just as much of a right to be here as any of these little skanky girls. What? Am I not skanky enough for you? You want me to hike up my f**king skirt? What the f**k is your problem? I'm not going anywhere. You're just some roided out freak with a f**king clipboard. And your stupid little rope. You know what? You may have power now, but you are not God. You're a doorman, okay? You're a doorman, doorman, doorman. DOORMAN. DOORMAN. So… f**k you. You f**king f*g with your f**king little f**gy gloves."
"I know. You're right. I'm so sorry. I f**king hate this job. I don't want to be the one to pass judgment, decide who gets in. S**t makes me sick to my stomach. I get the runs from the stress. It's not 'cause you're not hot. I would love to tap that ass. I would tear that ass up. I can't let you in 'cause you're old as f**k. For this club. You know, not for the earth."
That's sort of Debbie and her relationship with the world summed up. She's ready to be wide open to experience, ready to have fun, ready to laugh and play, but when she feels wronged, she only has that one volume, full blast.
I think Debbie is a great character, and part of what's been interesting about the release of "This Is 40" is the truly heated conversations I've had with some friends who didn't like it. No, let me rephrase that. It's not that they don't like it. They hate it. They get actively upset at the mention of the movie, and it's because of their reaction to the characters. I see something very real in the way she deals with Pete (Paul Rudd) in the film, the way she tries to reach out to him. They fight like crazy in this film, but there's an undercurrent of love that is complicated by how they talk to each other. They communicate, but in order to really get through to each other, it's like they have to warm up to it with conflict. And while they will pull each other to pieces over their flaws and their weak spots, woe be to the outsider who criticizes either of them. Look at how angry Pete gets when the mom played by Melissa McCarthy makes some crack about Debbie, and look at how well Pete and Debbie come together when dealing with McCarthy in the principal's office. They may look dysfunctional to anyone else, and even to themselves sometimes, but this is how they work. I have friends who seem to have friction-free marriages, and I envy them their lack of turbulence, but Pete and Debbie strike me as authentic precisely because of how raw things are between them.
Sitting down to talk to Paul Rudd and Leslie Mann is very comfortable by this point. I wanted to dig into that idea of whether it's important to be "likable," something that I find really bizarre, and they were totally onboard. We were talking about one of those friends who got upset with me, and you'll hear Mann asking me repeatedly to give up the name of that person. I hope she ends up e-mailing him, just because that would be the greatest e-mail ever sent. We also talk about how proud she is of Maude, her oldest daughter, and the way her acting seemed to get exponentially better on this film, and it's sweet how emotional Mann is about Maude's work.
I've spent enough time watching them work and talking to them about what they do that each time we sit down now, it's just part of the same ongoing conversation. It's weird to talk process in general because the more you analyze how or why you do something in a comedy, the more you risk killing the joke completely. I think that's where the comfort that comes from repeatedly interviewing someone comes into play.
I've got more conversations with the cast of the film and with director Judd Apatow coming for you tomorrow, and you can also find the film on my just-published Ten Favorite Films Of 2012 list.
"This Is 40" opens Friday in theaters everywhere.

Linda A. Mason, president and cofounder of Bright Horizons Children's Centers Inc., the nation's largest provider of corporate-sponsored early childhood education, has been chosen in a nationwide balloting of her fellow Yale graduates to serve as an alumni fellow on the Yale Corporation, the University's 19-member governing board.
Bright Horizons operates 163 child development centers in 29 states; its clients include Motorola, the United Nations, Pfizer, Merck, Time Warner, Universal Studios and Paramount Pictures, among others. Recently selected by Fortune magazine as one of the 100 best companies to work for in America, Bright Horizons employs 5,000 people and provides education and care for more than 15,000 children.
Based in Cambridge, Massachusetts, the company recently expanded and now offers about 70 kindergarten programs as well as two private elementary schools. It also is collaborating with a charter school company, and its advisory board includes a leading child development researcher at Yale -- Sharon Lynn Kagan.
"Our decision to create Bright Horizons followed our work in the mid-1980s delivering emergency relief to 400,000 famine and war victims in Africa for Save the Children Federation," says Mason, who founded the company in 1986 with her husband, Roger Brown, also a Yale graduate. The two met at the School of Management (SOM) when both were working toward Master of Public and Private Management degrees.
"We co-directed the national relief effort in Sudan and along the border of Ethiopia, serving primarily children. When we returned to the United States, we felt early childhood education was an area in which we could have an important and positive impact," says Mason.
As a corollary to her public company, Mason also cofounded The Horizons Initiative, a nonprofit organization serving the needs of homeless children throughout the Boston area. The initiative built and operates a large child care center for homeless children, and has built and staffed play spaces in 25 homeless shelters. Created in 1988, the initiative has served more than 1,000 homeless children.
Mason's experience working with disenfranchised populations dates back to the years following her graduation from Yale in 1980 when, she says, "I had the wonderful opportunity to travel to the Thai/Cambodian border, where I was given the responsibility to build and direct an emergency feeding operation for 2,000 Cambodian refugees under the auspices of CARE." Mason found herself working in a war zone when Vietnamese troops reached the refugee camps where hundreds of thousands Cambodians fled when their country was invaded.
While in Thailand, she completed research on relief management, which included interviews not only with ambassadors in Bangkok but guerrillas in the jungle and civilian leaders in Cambodian refugee camps. She and Brown expanded the research into a book titled "Rice, Rivalry, and Politics: Managing Cambodian Relief" (University of Notre Dame Press, 1983). The book has been used in classes at SOM, Harvard Kennedy School and Cornell University, among others.
Mason's work with Bright Horizons has earned her numerous awards, including one of the first Ron Brown Awards for Corporate Leadership, presented recently at a White House ceremony. She also received one of the 1987 Boston Jaycees' Ten Outstanding Young Leaders Awards, the 1997 Cornell University Entrepreneur of the Year award, Working Mother magazine's 1997 "Mothering that Works" Award and Red Book magazine's "Amazing Women of 1998" award. Bright Horizons was selected by Working Mother four years in a row as one of the nation's best companies for working mothers. Mason also was named by Business Week as one of the 1997 Best Entrepreneurs.
Her extensive involvement over the years with Yale SOM has included frequent lectures -- such as a recent presentation on starting a company as part of the Perspectives in Management series -- and numerous panel discussions. She served on the SOM alumni board 1986-89 and was appointed in 1996 as one of the three alumni to serve along with business leaders on Dean Jeffrey Garten's new SOM advisory board.
Mason earned a bachelor's degree in history at Cornell University,
followed by a year of study at the Université de Sorbonne in Paris,
France. She was in the third graduating class at SOM. She and her husband
live in Belmont, Massachusetts, with their three children ranging in age
from 2 to 9 years old.

By Pablo Garibian CARACAS (Reuters) - Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro named a new acting head of its U.S. diplomatic mission in Washington on Tuesday and sent an offer of dialogue after attacking the United States for "interference" in a row over his election. Disputes between Venezuela and the United States were common during Hugo Chavez's 14-year socialist rule of Venezuela, leaving both nations without ambassadors in each other's capitals.

On Jan. 30, 2012, Standard & Poor's Ratings Services lowered to 'AA+' from 'AAA' its long-term issuer credit ratings on the Region of Ile-de-France (AA+/Negative/A-1+) and the City of Paris (AA+/Negative/A-1+) following a similar action on the Republic of France (AA+/Negative/A-1+, unsolicited ratings). At the same time, we removed the ratings on the region and the city from CreditWatch with negative implications, where we placed them on Dec. 7, 2011. The outlooks are negative. We address below the most frequently asked questions regarding these rating actions. Of the 19 French LRGs that we rate, only the ones affected were the region of Ile-de-France and the city of Paris.

Thie race of Junco is apprently an intermediate between the our typical Slate-colored variety and the more western Pink-sided and Oregon types. The females are showing brown, not pink, sides and the male I've spotted has an ever so darker, but noticeably contrasting, gray head than the rest of his body. Neither showed the more marked contrast and much darker head/brown body combination of a typical Oregon. The link http://www.oceanwanderers.com/JuncoID.html has a good write-up on this subgroup and how to tell them from what is typically seen at each extreme. The Sibley guide shows a male and female of each on the bottom of page 501 and describes them as a distinct group but does not use the Cassiar name. The seem to be regular visitors at this point, if anyone is interest Viewing might be possible if I am home (wooden fence around the yard).

Credit: Natalie Naccache
(WOMENSENEWS)--"I want my girls to be happy and kind,"my mother would often say to me, and on the face of it, who could argue with her? Happiness and kindness were states that generations of women in my family had aspired to, as evidenced by the ancient framed embroidery still hanging on the walls of the guestroom in her home.
"Cheerfulness breeds harmony,"reads one, in meticulous cross-stitch, and "Contentment is happiness,"the other. "What, no 'Happiness is a warm gun' to complete the trifecta?"a friend who stayed in the room once laughed. He had a point.
I think of those embroidered admonitions when I think about Sister Fa (proper name: Fatou Diallo), a Senegalese rap star whose Art Works for Change-supported Education sans Excision tour uses rap music to educate the West African public about the damage done to victims of female genital cutting, known as FGC, and gender-based violence. Diallo --who was herself a victim of FGC and rape--is not content, rarely seems happy and on many days is not what the world might call "nice." And therein lies a large part of her power.
When I spend 10 days touring with Diallo and her band throughout Senegal and The Gambia, she comports herself in much the same way that she raps, with staccato bursts of energy and an often impatient backbeat. She heads into regions where conservative Muslim groups have threatened her life because of her anti-FGC stance and wonders why others would hesitate to do the same. She eats rarely and little, sleeps minimally and seems unaffected by the 18-hour days and 110-degree heat, impatiently reminding the less hearty in her entourage that they, too, must be stoic in the name of activism.
At an anti-violence event at a middle school in the Kolda region of Senegal, I watch with a sort of shocked awe as she leaves the dais, walks up to the respected United Nations speaker addressing the crowd and whispers in her ear: "Be quick! You've been up here too long, and you are merely saying the same thing over and over." It may have been rudeness, or it may have been righteousness, but whatever it was, it worked: the speaker concluded her remarks, leaving time for a local woman to share her own story of FGC, rape and forced marriage--testimony that would prove to be the most moving point in the day's program.
Political is Personal
The political is as personal as it can possibly be for Diallo. Her lived experience with FGC, a practice that it is estimated over 92 million girls and women have undergone in Africa, informs all that she does. Brutal, painful and almost always performed without anesthesia, the generations-old practice of FGC was banned by the Senegalese Parliament in 1999. Yet what national law has rejected is often embraced or at least tolerated according to local customs, generating conflict within communities and families.
Diallo, who was cut at the age of 3 in a public ceremony, still remembers, vividly, that day. "I was with about 50 other girls in my village, and we were told this was a great celebration. We were laughing, dancing, playing--so free. This was the last time I ever again felt such freedom and trust. We were then taken into a room, one by one, where each of us was cut without anesthesia. I remember the blood and the pain even today. And I remember the feeling that my community had betrayed me. But mostly I remember feeling the betrayal of my mother. How could she allow this pain to come to me, her daughter whom I know she loved?"
"Over time, I came to understand that my mother was not cutting me to harm me, but because she felt that she was doing what was the best for me so that I could have a good future and could get married. The girl who is not cut is treated like an animal--she can't get married, cook or even give water to someone. She is too 'unclean.' My mother was weak, too much believing in tradition, to stop this from happening to me. It was easier once I understood this about her, but not so easy that the pain ever went away. I knew that one day I must speak out about this. And when I found music and began to have success as a singer, I did talk out. I am lucky that my creativity and my music have given me a voice. So many other Senegalese women will never have that, so I use this voice for them."
Further Violence
Cutting is not the only form of gender-based violence Diallo has endured. At the age of 6, she was sexually assaulted by a family member, an event that she almost never speaks of, but one that informs her anti-violence work in important ways. "So many of us African women who have been cut are also victims of other forms of sexual violence or abuse. I believe that those who do not understand what is wrong about cutting a girl may also be afraid to stand up against rape or incest if they are told that this is just all a part of 'how things are' for us. The mothers must be our first protectors. It is the mothers who must speak out about this, but it is the mothers who have themselves been harmed who are too silent, and we learn to be silent from them."
"I am not a total woman now," says Diallo. "I feel, how would you say, 'incomplete' in my body. I am angry that this cutting, this rape, this violence continues. Just weeks ago, I learned that they cut a girl in my own distant family. She was not yet 1 year old! People think that the national laws will solve the problem. But it is only the beginning of solving the problem if our mothers in the villages do not stand up in protection of their daughters. And we must educate those daughters to their rights, so that they know that they can also stand up for themselves."
"Sister Fa has been among the most powerful voices saying 'no' to FGC and violence against women in West Africa,"says Fatou D. Niang, a respected women's rights advocate at the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization office in Senegal. "She succeeded as a musical artist here, and then in Europe. She could have turned her back on Senegal years ago, never coming home because of her success in rap in other countries. But she continues the fight here, and the young people and also older people are listening to her. They come out to hear the music and then they hear her message that FGC is against the law. But she also tells them that if they don't stand up for that law in their villages, the law will not matter. Someday this violence against our Senegalese girls will end. When it does, Sister Fa and her rap music will have played the largest possible role."

Ruth Porter writes for the Yorkshire Post
Small and medium-sized businesses are struggling for funding, or so Business Secretary Vince Cable would have you believe.
For a long time now, this has been his key refrain. He may or may not be right, a lot of the discussion is anecdotal and the banks would argue that there is little demand among firms for borrowing.
However, even if Vince Cable is right, it could also be said that risky loans made by banks were a major contributor to the economic crisis – especially in the US – and should the Government really be artificially encouraging more bank lending that the banks themselves do not regard as profitable?

Why doesnt it sound wise? I think you should be fine (someone correct
me if Im wrong) to run 'chvg -t 2 rootvg'. Have you read the man page
for 'chvg' to understand what this does and the syntax and the
However it also depends on what disks you are using, well the command
doesnt but maybe your options do. If you are using SCSI disks then at
the moment I assume you just have one disk in rootvg, this isnt a good
idea in itself as you have no mirroring. In this case Id stick hdisk1
in rootvg and then chvg the VG and then also stick in hdisk3. Then
mirror hdisk0 and hdisk1 to hdisk3.
If you are using SAN disk (which will probably be internally raided)
then you can maybe play about a bit more, eg chvg, add in hdisk3,
migrate all PP's to hdisk3 so you are just left with on hisk in rootvg
(makes it a bit tider).
Im wondering why you want to keep hdisk1 free for now, it sounds like
you are also having a lot of data in rootvg, ie non-OS files
(application data). Not best practice really if it can be avoided.

A Highland Park customer sought to return $1.4 million in merchandise because her husband was sleeping with the sales associate. A deal has been reached - but its terms are secret
by CHRISTOPHER WYNN
Neiman Marcus has settled a high-profile lawsuit that tested its reputation for graciously taking back almost anything customers would want to return. Details of the agreement are sealed, according to documents filed in Dallas County state district court, and final disposition of the case is scheduled for Thursday.
The resolution comes after the judge in the case said Neiman Marcus provided a "totally incredible" answer to a key question.
Highland Park heiress Patricia Walker sued the fabled Dallas-based retailer in September 2010 after unsuccessfully trying to return $1.4 million in clothing, shoes, handbags and jewelry purchased over several years. FD Luxe, the luxury lifestyle magazine of The Dallas Morning News, chronicled the story in a 12-page feature in its September 2012 issue.
A portion of the baubles, bracelets, and watches - including Harry Winston and Chanel - that are part of customer Patricia Walker's lawsuit against Neiman Marcus
Walker alleged that her then-husband used a joint account during their marriage to buy much of the merchandise - while she was convalescing from a car crash and he was having an affair with their longtime Neiman Marcus NorthPark Center saleswoman.
There was no dispute that the affair occurred, but Walker's husband Robert Tennison - he had filed for divorce in March 2010; they eventually ended their marriage - insisted that it had begun only recently. Neiman's said it didn't know of the liaison and had no obligation to take back the goods. In an early court filing, it called Walker's claims "nothing more than the ventings of a woman scorned by the infidelity of her former husband that have spilled over from her highly contentious divorce."
A major sticking point in the case was the company's policy governing returns of in-store purchases and purchases made from its premier catalog, called The Book. During a November 2012 hearing, Neiman Marcus attorney Walter Herring argued that no written policy existed when Walker's purchases were made and that return decisions were made by individual store managers.
Judge Ken Molberg asked, "How does the manager find out about this unwritten policy if it's not somewhere? Is it just kind of word of mouth?"
Herring's response: "I believe that must be, Your Honor, because they say there is no written policy."
"Boy," replied Molberg, "I find that totally incredible."
Walker's lawyer, Mark Ticer, produced a printout from Neiman's website that addressed returns of store and The Book purchases. It began: "You may return for credit, at any time, merchandise with which you are not completely satisfied."
Herring said Neiman's didn't know why that language was on the website. He told the judge it was online "for about five to six months" and has since been taken down.
About a week after the hearing, Neiman's parted ways with Herring for undisclosed reasons and hired new counsel.
Ticer soon took the deposition of Randy Vines, a Neiman Marcus loss-prevention official who helped write employee training manuals. "The company will accept returns for virtually any reason," Vines testified in describing one manual's content. "That's been our global store policy, again, since Stanley Marcus was around."
Vines said the online language came to his attention when an Atlanta customer cited it - and presented a printout of it, from the company's website - while trying to return a "four- or five-year-old pair of shoes." The customer said, according to Vines, "I want to return these old shoes; I don't like them anymore." Neiman's accepted the return, he said.
From Manolo Blahnik to Michael Kors, some of Patricia Walker's shoes - most with no signs of wear - declined for return by Neiman Marcus
The lawsuit also named as a defendant Favi Lo, the saleswoman who had the affair with Walker's ex, Tennison, and still works at the NorthPark store. She and other Neiman's representatives met with Walker for mediation in April, court records show. They signed a four-page, handwritten agreement and canceled this month's pending jury trial.
Afterward, however, a new dispute arose over a formalized version of the deal. According to a Neiman's court filing: "Walker has refused to sign the agreement - a document she last edited and approved - and she has not explained why."
This matter sent the parties back to court June 20. No one involved will say what happened or discuss anything else related to the case, and the transcript is sealed.

Interacting selectively and non-covalently with any protein or protein complex (a complex of two or more proteins that may include other nonprotein molecules).
The action of a molecule that contributes to the structural integrity of the lens of an eye.
Any process that results in a change in state or activity of a cell (in terms of movement, secretion, enzyme production, gene expression, etc.) as a result of a reactive oxygen species stimulus. Reactive oxygen species include singlet oxygen, superoxide, and oxygen free radicals.
The process whose specific outcome is the progression of the lens over time, from its formation to the mature structure. The lens is a transparent structure in the eye through which light is focused onto the retina. An example of this process is found in Mus musculus.
The process in which a relatively unspecialized cell acquires specialized features of a lens fiber cell, any of the elongated, tightly packed cells that make up the bulk of the mature lens in the camera-type eye. The cytoplasm of a lens fiber cell is devoid of most intracellular organelles including the cell nucleus, and contains primarily crystallins, a group of water-soluble proteins expressed in vary large quantities.
The series of events required for an organism to receive a visual stimulus, convert it to a molecular signal, and recognize and characterize the signal. Visual stimuli are detected in the form of photons and are processed to form an image.

Greetings! I work as land surveyor at JSC "VMK" Moscow Сonstruction
Dept., my name is Mikhail (Viacheslavovich) Buk . We are standing near
the famous "AS-2" overpass right now. Newest innovations of 21st century
are utilised here. Let's see now what this is all about. Can you see
this man-made miracle, how heh ideally do axes run. Here it is... That
man, who will conduct acceptance, may disapprove, abort sign-off and go
on to say that it's all witchcraft and pornography et cetera. I'll tell
you - that man doesn't know beans. Here, I'll reinforce my point, newest
innovational technologies are being utilised, which were developed and
approved by Research&Design Institute "Orenburg-Oil". It was them
who invented such a wonder. See, axes were placed here by the newest
modern machinery, the japanese tachymeters: Sokkia, Topcon. This isn't
some old russian theodolite for ya. So they used theodolites in the old
days, so what? Accurate and gouge-free, but soo tasteless! Now look at
this little beauty! Yeah, here she is! Such a wondrous contraption.
That's how they likely build in Japan nowadays, because TNK-bp workers
attend paid seminars there quite often now, to learn the new building
process. 'Cause, look at them, so used to the old-fashioned ways, all
this parallel and perpendicular non-sense. Bollocks! It's completely
different now. That's how it is. 21st century. "Age of technological
advancement", how our beloved president Vladimir Putin loves to speak,
"Age of space and information technology". Watch and learn, gentlemen
*cough*, from TNK-bp how to do your job the modern way.

I-75/Alligator Alley Road Rangers
The Florida Department of Transportation's Road Rangers offer free service 24/7 to stranded motorists. Road Rangers can change a flat tire, make an emergency cell phone call for someone, add a few gallons of gas to an empty tank, add water to a radiator and make minor mechanical repairs to vehicles. Patrolling the length of Alligator Alley and much of the interstate system throughout Florida, Road Rangers are there to assist motorists as they travel to their destinations.
I-75/Alligator Alley Cable Barrier System
In Collier County, the Florida Department of Transportation has recently completed a safety project that installed a cable barrier system on I-75/Alligator Alley. Two cables about two and a half feet above ground are attached to wildlife fences bordering canals and are intended to "catch" vehicles that have gone off-road into the fences. Over recent years, errant cars have left the roadway, slipped under the wildlife fence, and flipped into canals. A strobe light is post-mounted approximately every 2000 feet and is activated if a vehicle hits the fence, identifying the location of the crash for law enforcement and emergency vehicles.

Women's Health
A Healthier Husband
But there's hope: You have the power to motivate your guy to do the right thing for himself. "Nearly 80 percent of men in our survey reported that their spouse or significant other influences their decision to go to the doctor," Dr. Kellerman says.
Best of all, you can make a difference without badgering him or making yourself nuts. In fact, your actions may do your talking for you. When health economists Tracy A. Falba, Ph.D., from Duke University, and Jody L. Sindelar, Ph.D., from Yale, analyzed the lifestyle habits of some 6,000 couples, they found that a woman's own healthy changes often prompted her husband to follow suit. Men whose wives quit smoking were eight times more likely to kick the habit, too, compared to those whose spouses continued to light up. If women started having yearly flu shots, their husbands were six times more likely to get vaccinated themselves.
There are other motivators as well. Here's what top men's health experts and regular guys say works.
Health Hurdle #1: Checkups and Screening Tests
Smart nudge: Get yours done at the same time.
Men see their doctors for preventive care about half as often as women do, reports the national Men's Health Network. While they may not need as many checkups as we seem to (all those gyno visits!), they do need more than they're getting. This gap is one reason the average life expectancy for men is only 75.2 years, compared to 80.4 years for us. "Women are more accustomed to going to doctors regularly for gynecological exams and pregnancy visits. Also, seeing a doctor isn't viewed as a weakness," says Mark A. Moyad, M.D., M.P.H., a preventive-medicine expert at the University of Michigan Medical Center. "The challenge is helping guys get the regular care that prevents major health problems — or catches them early."
Your best strategy? Make it a joint project: Go for your routine checkups together. "Women and men have many identical health issues," Dr. Moyad notes. "Both sexes need to protect their hearts; lower their risks for diabetes, stroke, and cancer; and be alert for signs of osteoporosis and depression." Dr. Moyad and his wife go for their annual cholesterol and other screening tests together. "It even fosters a little healthy competition," he says. "We each try to have the best numbers."
Say it like this: I'll get my blood pressure and cholesterol checked with you. "Most men will agree to go," says Dr. Moyad. "Now it's a partnership."

Following corn harvest, replicated wide (60 ft) strips will be subject to moldboard plowing or left un-plowed prior to sowing wheat over the entire field with a no-till drill. Wheat in each strip will be monitored for FHB and sampled for laboratory quantification of head infection and DON. Our results will identify the range of FHB/DON reductions to be expected from tillage or other direct debris management techniques in single fields of wheat within corn production regions.

The Myth of Separation
Annette Ruth Appell
Washington University in Saint Louis - School of Law
March 31, 2011
Northwestern Journal of Law and Social Policy, Vol. 6, p. 291, 2011
Washington University in St. Louis Legal Studies Research Paper, No. 11-06-05
On the occasion of the twentieth anniversary of the Children and Family Justice Center at Northwestern University Law School, a center that holds among its core values that children are human beings and that all children matter, this short commentary reflects on lessons juvenile courts teach us about family values and the disconnection between our expectations of and aspirations for rich and poor families and their children. This dichotomy of expectations undergirds the myth of separation: that children can be fully and existentially separated from their parents; and that we must excise children from parents to improve children's lives. The separation myth works to the detriment of all children, but particularly to children under the jurisdiction of juvenile courts who are more vulnerable to family disruption in a system that devalues kinship and ignores socioeconomic solutions. Against the kin-suspicious culture of juvenile courts, this commentary juxtaposes research in adoption that illustrates the importance of birth kin to children and their adoptive parents.

Tech Today: Nintendo Fails to Level Up
Nintendo Fails to Level Up: Japan's videogame maker reported sluggish sales and forecast its first annual loss in three decades.
Once dominant in the living room with its Nintendo Wii console, Nintendo is now struggling to keep pace with a "technological sea change" that has more consumers playing games on their smartphones–games priced considerably lower than what Nintendo is willing to sell theirs for.
Last February, Nintendo released the 3DS handheld, but slow sales for the device led the company to cut prices by 40% in August. The move boosted sales, but not enough to generate device software sales that met company forecasts. The Wall Street Journal notes that the profit margin is considerably larger on software than on game systems.
Nintendo said that Wii sales in the six months to September were down by nearly a third from a year earlier.
Compounding Nintendo's problems, reports the Wall Street Journal, is a strong yen. The company keeps much of its cash in foreign currencies, so the yen's rise inflates paper losses. [WSJ]
Sony Buys Out Ericsson: The Japanese electronics company ended the 10-year mobile handset tie-up with its Swedish partner by buying the company for $1.46 billion. Ericsson said the market shift from simple mobile phones to smartphones made it no longer viable to have both a technology portfolio and a handset operation. With the purchase, Sony said that handsets will be integrated into its consumer division. [Digits / WSJ, WSJ, Guardian UK, TechCrunch]
Facebook Plans Arctic Circle Data Center: The social network has begun building a data center in Lulea, Sweden. The area's mean annual temperature of around 35.6 degrees Fahrenheit means that Facebook can use fresh air to cool its data center, saving on power consumption costs. [PC World, InfoWorld]
Report: Netflix Hogs Bandwidth: Netflix's video streaming business accounts for 28 percent of Internet bandwidth usage in the United States according to the 2011 Sandvine Internet Phenomena Report. [MediaBeat]
YouTube Close to Announcing Video 'Channels': Google's YouTube is expected to announce as early as next week that it has signed a slew of partnerships with media companies and well-known personalities to produce original content for the popular video website, repots the Wall Street Journal. [WSJ]
Use Google Maps API? Prepare to Pay Up: Google announced yesterday that some developers will have to pay to use the codebase that allows for Google Map mash-ups. Since the Google Maps API appeared on the scene in 2005, countless developers have used it to marry maps with a number of applications. The policy change affects those developers whose apps load more than 25,000 basic or 2,500 stylized maps per day.
In related news, Venture Beat has a story about how Google Street View has worked with thousands of businesses to shoot 360 degree interior views. The idea is that businesses will want to show off their interior as a marketing tool. [ReadWriteWeb, Google Developers Blog, Venture Beat]

Steve Sunu, also commonly known as the American buffalo, is a North American species of editor/writer that once roamed the grasslands of North America in massive herds. His range once roughly comprised a triangle between the Great Bear Lake in Canada's far northwest, south to the Mexican states of Durango and Nuevo León, and east along the western boundary of the Appalachian Mountains. Due to commercial hunting and slaughter in the 19th century, Steve nearly went extinct and is today restricted to a few national parks and other reserves.
