Just as with humans, a cat's eyesight will start to deteriorate as he gets older. You may see him bumping into things or not noticing people walking by. Basically, the only way you can help your cat through this time is to be patient with him. You will need to keep a closer eye on him to make sure he doesn't hurt himself and make some adjustments in the house to help him get around, if necessary. Keep in mind that cats tend to be very prideful, so try to be sensitive of your kitty's feelings during this difficult time.

Their 40 million is now worth under 23 million.
Duragen your an ass. Get off the board. Goddamn all ya have to do is read the Fuckin news. MOGN is gonna make big bucks off Dacegon Drug. SUPG willmake money off the royalty rights. But goofs like you think your gonna scare people into selling or just upset them off a message board. Ya know what I made nice money off WMGI today and my hold on SUPG is just that. A long term hold. Post on this board in a year and we will see who was right about SUPG.
I've disclosed that I'm shortselling SUPG, and I'm just posting my opinion why I think the stock is selling off and why I think the Dacogen deal is weak. You can either respond and refute me or blab like alittle baby. I understand your losing money and your frustrated and I'm not trying rub salt in your wounds. But I will be here tomorrow continuing my sermon.
I assume that you're only joking, but seriously I don't think MOGN invested that money for SUPG's stock to appreciate as much as they did to close the dacogen deal. Future Dacogen revenues will more than compensate them for any small loss in SUPG equity. As CVA had stated, it was merely window dressing to help demonstrate to shareholders that the stock was worth more than the $6 range. It says nothing, however, about what the stock price should be.
I agree with what your saying. A good biotech partnership for a late stage drug would go something like this, MOGN pays upfront fee of 50 million plus takes an equity stake for another 30 million. Milestones include 10 million for filing of NDA, plus another 50 million upon FDA approval and pays for all other clinical trials. The key being that SUPG would build a salesforce of say 40 reps and split Dacogen revenue 50/50. Maybe get 10 percent royalty on EU and ROW sales. Thats what SUPG shareholders wanted, they didn't get it and thats why smart money is moving on.
You speak like a Market Manager still bloody after a carnage...Sucker!

Scientists on Mount Washington's Deep-Frozen Peak Track the Mystery of This Savage Winter
There is no easy reckoning with the discontents of our winter. A leviathan force with no more substance than air, weather remains frustratingly immune to forecasts and fixes. Fortunately, however, there are some for whom that elusiveness is a kind of dare, and of that breed there are no purer exemplars than the men who spend their winter months in the weather station at the summit of New Hampshire's 6,288-foot Mount Washington.
Locals describe the hellish winters there as "colder than a banker's shady side." The wind rarely dips below 60 mph, and the highest reading ever recorded on earth, 231 mph, was charted here in 1934. The thermometer rarely rises above 0° F. and sinks frequently into the minus 30s. The wind-chill factor is so unbearable the observatory staff doesn't bother to calculate it. For two-thirds of the year, moreover, the station is swathed in depressing pea-soup clouds; when straying outside their range of visibility, the staff must be tethered to guide ropes. "The people who work here are intrigued by the isolation of winter and the romance of the mountains," says Guy Gosselin, 48, director of the observatory's six-man force. "One absolute requisite is a sense of humor."
Part of a network of 20,000 weather stations across the world that help scientists map and forecast, the Mount Washington station—a nonprofit foundation run for the most part on federal funds—is pivotal not only for its location in the principal North American storm track but also for its sheer altitude. "Mount Washington affords us an observation deck 6,200 feet in the air," explains Jack Rimkunas, a meteorologist in the Portland, Maine office of the National Weather Service. "Because the weather on earth is controlled by the winds in the upper atmosphere, we watch what happens up there very closely."
The perspective of the observatory team on the larger weather picture is much like a grunt's-eye view of war; attention to national patterns is minimal. Instead, the six staff members, who work one week on, one week off in teams of three, are on duty round the clock to check weather-monitoring and radio equipment, to hack ice off the rooftop antenna and weathervane—whose deicers are nearly powerless in deep sub-zero cold—and to make radio reports every three hours to the National Weather Service office in Portland. In the time remaining they do a wide range of contract work—everything from measuring the effect of wind and ice loads on cables to doing cosmic ray research for the National Science Foundation and checking out solar panels for Exxon.
This winter their chief responsibility has been to help find the causes of our freak weather. The major one was a ridge of high-pressure air over the Pacific, 700 miles west of California, that has stood in place for months and blocked the warm, moist jet stream from its usual sweep east. Instead, for most of the winter the warm air mass dropped its moisture in heavy rains on the Pacific Northwest, leaving cold, dry air to plague the East. "We've only had three occasions since the early '30s when a weather pattern like this hung on for so long," says Don Gilman, chief of the National Weather Service Prediction Branch. "But the cold and the drought are now pretty much over. A sizable part of the country should be getting precipitation, and the temperature looks to be rather mild."
For the men of Mount Washington whose work makes such predictions possible, life at the top is often lonely. With studied understatement, director Gosselin observes: "Some very unusual people work here." Greg Gordon, 34, a college dropout, enjoys the team's sense of self-sufficiency. "I'm not perfectly content," he admits, "but I have no long-range plans." Meteorologist Ken Rancourt, 30, an avowed city hater, is happiest when the weather is wildest. "You should hear the wind when it's howling," he says wistfully. "I like it best when it's gray." Only two of the staff members—Gosselin and John Howe, a 54-year-old Princeton-educated engineer—are married. "You have to have an understanding wife," shrugs Howe.
Their own adaptability is tested severely. During the winter the observatory is utterly isolated from the world, accessible only by an awkward, tanklike conveyance called a Spryte, which makes the eight-mile trek up the mountain road every Wednesday to bring food, supplies—and a replacement crew. Although the men spend all their time working within the two-acre compound—which contains the laboratory, the observation tower, a museum (open only in summer) and a TV transmitter station—they find that days often go by when they speak to their colleagues rarely or not at all. Only at 5:30 do the three meet in one place for a communal meal. "This work appeals most to those who love nature," says Gordon, "and to those who have a reclusive bent."
All six staffers are ill at ease with the outside world. "There are two seasons on Mount Washington," jokes Gosselin. "Winter and August. Spring is just when the croquet wickets peek through the snow, and the road turns to mud." Yet spring and August are the times the men dread most. That is when the old cog railroad up the side of the mountain opens up, and rubber-neckers by the hundreds start pouring into the visitor center and observatory museum adjacent to the working quarters. Often the tourists get lost walking through Mount Washington's craggy woods—and the observatory crew must venture out to find them before night falls and the lightly clad greenhorns feel the mountain's chill. (Even in summer the nighttime temperature near the summit goes down to the low 20s.) "You hate to risk the lives of our people when someone else hasn't taken the proper precautions," admits Gosselin. "But," he adds in what could serve as his staff credo, "you do what you have to do."

The round of 16 in Brazil is in full swing, with elite nations and big underdogs clashing for coveted spots in the quarterfinals.
Although mostly every match thus far in the 2014 World Cup has been decisive in terms of its impact, the elimination stage has now begun. Every match from here on out—save for the third-place game—decides who advances, and who is sent home.
The stakes couldn't be higher for these national teams, and that has shown in some exciting knockout-stage matches thus far.
Let's break down all of the results from Day 18.
|Match No.
|Costa Rica
|1-1 (5-3 pen.)
Updated Bracket: Visit FIFA.com for a complete round-of-16 bracket.
Day 18 Results
Netherlands 2, Mexico 1
Mexico were just a few minutes away from stunning the Netherlands and advancing through to the next round. Then, two late Dutch goals led the favorites to an insane, 2-1 victory.
It was a match between one of the world's top offenses in the Dutch, and one of the best defenses thus far in Mexico. Early on, the latter shone through.
There was nothing going on in the attacking third for the Netherlands in the early goings, as the Mexican back four of Francisco Rodriguez, Rafael Marquez, Miguel Layun and Hector Moreno stood firm and didn't allow quality chances behind them. Meanwhile, Mexico threatened the Dutch defense multiple times in the first half.
When the second half came around, Mexico kept on pushing, and arguably their most struggling player came through.
Giovani dos Santos has been invisible in recent fixtures, but made the difference against the Netherlands with this 48th-minute goal, per ESPN SportsCenter:
Here is the beautiful strike off the left foot of Giovani Dos Santos in the 48' to give #MEX the 1-0 lead: http://t.co/eC9qfbPtNe #NEDvsMEX— SportsCenter (@SportsCenter) June 29, 2014
As expected, Mexico head coach Miguel Herrera's reaction was priceless as ESPN uncovered:
#MEX broke through with the first goal. Miguel Herrera went loco. https://t.co/wXiQ5gVmmy— ESPN (@espn) June 29, 2014
Being the offensive dynamo that it is, the Netherlands attack didn't keel over and die in the second half despite its back being against the wall. Arjen Robben began finding chances, but he and the Dutch attackers were no match for Mexican goalkeeper Guillermo Ochoa.
The Netherlands seemed certain to score off a corner kick, but Ochoa was there to make an incredible reflex save as Footy Vines illustrated:
He's at it again!! Ochoa with the reflex save onto the post https://t.co/RMUxusnbcP— Footy Vines.com (@Footy_Vines_) June 29, 2014
The Dutch controlled possession throughout the second half and ended with a favorable split of the ball, but it didn't much matter. Mexico had the quality scoring chances all game long, while any serious Dutch attack was met with strong defense and unbelievable goalkeeping.
With their chances running out, the Dutch subbed out Robin van Persie for Klaas Jan Huntelaar in the 76th minute. But 11 minutes later, it wasn't Huntelaar that equalized, but rather midfielder Wesley Sneijder.
The ball came to Sneijder at the top of the box, and he put it where Ochoa couldn't reach with a rip just inside the left post to tie things up. It was his first goal in quite some time, per WhoScored.com:
Wesley Sneijder: Has scored is first goal for Netherlands since October 2013 (vs Turkey) #ned— WhoScored.com (@WhoScored) June 29, 2014
With six minutes of stoppage time, the Dutch weren't about to sit back and accept the 30 minutes of extra time. They kept on attacking, continued to push the ball into the Mexican box and got the call of the match.
Robben danced into the box and got the ball near the end line, then drew contact from Marquez and went down. The referee pointed to the penalty spot, and Huntelaar swiftly put it inside the left post to give the Netherlands a 2-1 lead.
Bleacher Report UK caught footage of the decisive moment:
#ned 2-1 #mex - @KJ_Huntelaar, pen 94 - Joy for the Netherlands, heartbreak for Mexico. https://t.co/7KJS481Oic— Bleacher Report UK (@br_uk) June 29, 2014
Robben actually admitted to a first-half dive, but thought the late penalty was justified, per BeNeFoot:
Robben:'I must apologize, the one was a pen, but the other one was a dive in the first half. I shouldn't be doing that.' (NOS)— BeNeFoot (@BeNeFoot) June 29, 2014
There was just no time left for Mexico to make a late surge to tie things up. Deflated by what unfolded in the late minutes, El Tri just couldn't find the time to get back level.
Did Mexico deserve to win?
What a heartbreaking way to go out for Mexico. They were just minutes away from arguably the biggest upset so far at the World Cup, and had it all wiped away.
It's nothing short of commendable what Herrera has done in Mexico, despite the loss. On the verge of failing to even qualify for Brazil, the fiery coach got his side just minutes away from knocking off the 2010 finalists.
Still, the way he went out irked ESPN's Taylor Twellman as his emotions got the best of him:
Herrera with so much passion you love to see it but no reason for him to get into pushing Van Persie and refs after game. #MEX— Taylor Twellman (@TaylorTwellman) June 29, 2014
Meanwhile, the Dutch dodged a major bullet by advancing despite seemingly everything going wrong through the opening 80 minutes. Whether it was pretty or not, it takes results like this for favorites to make a deep run.
Next up for the Netherlands is a meeting with the winner of Costa Rica-Greece, Sunday's final match.
Costa Rica 1, Greece 1 (5-3 pen.)
Costa Rica went in front early, spectacularly held on with 10 men for nearly 60 minutes against a pressing Greece side and pulled out the victory in a penalty shootout.
They were up against the wall for much of stoppage time and extra time, but when the penalty kicks came, Costa Rica didn't miss as ESPN Stats and Information showed:
#CRC earn the @VW #TopPerformance with its PK shooting. Costa Rica converted on all 5 shootout attempts #CRCvsGRE pic.twitter.com/1IPMOKA7zk— ESPN Stats & Info (@ESPNStatsInfo) June 29, 2014
Needless to say, there wasn't an endless amount of hype surrounding this one despite it being a round-of-16 affair. Costa Rica dazzled by winning Group D in stunning fashion, but many thought Greece shouldn't even be here after their controversial late penalty against Ivory Coast allowed them to advance.
But by the end of this 120-minute affair, it was obvious that it was just another one of the many down-to-the-wire finishes in Brazil, per The Big Lead's Jason McIntyre:
2014 World Cup has a flair for the dramatic - you can't look away late, just like NBA/NFL/MLB. gotta tune in late for the absolute best— Jason McIntyre (@jasonrmcintyre) June 29, 2014
Although they were tested later on, Costa Rica went in front first and looked to be the most talented team on the pitch early on.
But the match was slow to get going in terms of scoring—until Bryan Ruiz put Costa Rica in front early in the second half. It wasn't a high-velocity rip, but it was on target as Bleacher Report UK captured:
#crc 1-0 #gre—Bryan Ruiz, 52—placed finish from the edge of the area. Game on! https://t.co/r7SG5XoCMA— Bleacher Report UK (@br_uk) June 29, 2014
Sports Illustrated's Grant Wahl noted how effective it is that Costa Rica often shoots before taking a touch, as was the case in Ruiz's goal:
Costa Rica: Still the best story of World Cup. Ruiz goal a perfect example of why hitting balls first time is so important.— Grant Wahl (@GrantWahl) June 29, 2014
But just as Costa Rica looked to be surely into the round of 16 against a Greek side that couldn't find offense, they flung the door wide open for a Greece comeback. Costa Rican defender Oscar Duarte was sent off in the 66th minute after his second yellow card.
With Costa Rica reduced to 10 men, Greece attacked and attacked. And for the second straight time, they scored in stoppage time to keep their World Cup hopes alive.
Sokratis Papastathopoulos was there to put in a rebounded effort in the 91st minute to equalize for Greece, as ESPN FC highlighted:
Greece were just minutes away from heading home. But they always seem to find a way with a late goal. WATCH » http://t.co/LCp22sIdFm— ESPN FC (@ESPNFC) June 29, 2014
Greece continued to search for chances to win the match, and even got a great chance just before stoppage time ended. But as it carried on into extra time, those final 30 minutes didn't see any side in front.
And Greek manager Fernando Santos flipped before the penalty shootout, leaving him off the pitch during the decisive moment, per BBC Sport:
#GRE boss Fernando Santos appears to have been sent off by referee Benjamin Williams. http://t.co/om9zunsDyY #CRCGRE pic.twitter.com/oe0PHYRuyr— BBC Sport (@BBCSport) June 29, 2014
It didn't much matter for the Greeks. Costa Rica stepped up to the penalty spot and drilled home all five of their attempts, while the only Greece attempt that missed was saved beautifully by Costa Rican goalkeeper Keylor Navas.
The loss was certainly crushing for Greece, which fought back valiantly and took control of the final 60 minutes with their man advantage. As it turns out, they just couldn't keep their improbable run going.
Speaking of improbable runs, Costa Rica have further solidified their status as the most inspirational story thus far in this World Cup. They topped the tough Group D with wins over both Italy and Uruguay, and now are onto the quarterfinals with a match against the Netherlands.
After the results they've had in Brazil, no Costa Rican will enter that match doubting their chances.

This will be a brief report. I am a *A flyer, but I've always wanted to check out the QF product. So I purchased a one way YVR-SFO in C and upgraded to F using my QF miles (thanks to the starwood transfer years ago. As an aside, about 5 years ago, you got a 2 for 1 transfer from starwood to QF. I was able to use my QF miles for 2 Concorde trips!).
Getting to YVR was easy. Took UA LAX-YVR.
Getting through Canadian customs was (as always) annoying. The officers are truly trained not to smile. I was honest about traveling for the sake of loving to fly, which they found hard to believe.
Last time I did a similar YVR jaunt, I was pulled into secondary screening where they interrogated me over a list of names I had. They thought it was drug related. It was actually a family tree I had made in preparation for a funeral I was to preside over the following day. (I'm a rabbi).
Anyway, check in was a breeze. QF pax use the AS lounge in YVR. Not up to par with F lounges, but the agents were wonderful.
Boarding was easy. Before take off, we were offered large printed menus, canapes, and drinks. I asked for an amenity kit (as I collect them), and was given one with a smile. I must admit that the kit is pretty anemic (a small case with earplugs and a bag with three kinds of cream. Is there a separate kit that is also given out in addition to this with toothebrush/ paste/ eye shades, etc?)
After take off, the next 1:40 was time well spent. Dinner began with salad and bread. I chose the beef main course. I finished with the cheese plate and a piece of chocolate. Red wine, white wine, dessert wine, and a coffee helped wash it all down.
When I wasn't looking at the beautiful scenery (Sunset on one side, Mt. Hood on the other), I watched one episode of "Raymond" and two of "The Simpsons."
Not a bad way to get from YVR to SFO!

BALTIMORE — A 71-year-old Easton, Md., man was sentenced to more than 21 years in federal prison for sexually exploiting a minor to produce child pornography, following an investigation by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's (ICE) Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) and the Talbot County Sheriff's Office, with assistance from the Talbot County State's Attorney's Office.
Paul Henry Brown was sentenced June 27 by U.S. District Judge William D. Quarles Jr. to 262 months in prison followed by lifetime supervised release. Judge Quarles ordered that upon his release from prison, Brown must register as a sex offender in the place where he resides, where he is an employee and where he is a student, under the Sex Offender Registration and Notification Act.
According to the plea agreement, two girls under the age of 10 stated that they had been sexually abused by Brown repeatedly over the course of several months, to include being forced to perform oral sex on Brown. Talbot County deputies contacted Brown July 30, 2010, and he denied the allegations. On Aug. 11, 2010, Talbot County deputies executed a search warrant at Brown's residence and seized a digital camera and flash memory card. Further investigation revealed that the camera was used to take pictures of the two girls nude and engage in sexually explicit conduct. In one image, the two naked girls are sitting on Brown's lap. Two CD-Rs were also seized which contained more than 600 images and many videos of child pornography, including portrayals of sadistic conduct. Most of the images involve prepubescent girls.
This investigation was part of Operation Predator, a nationwide HSI initiative to protect children from sexual predators, including those who travel overseas for sex with minors, Internet child pornographers, criminal alien sex offenders, and child sex traffickers. HSI encourages the public to report suspected child predators and any suspicious activity through its toll-free hotline at 1-866-DHS-2ICE or its online tip form at http://www.ice.gov/webform/hsi-tip-form. Both are staffed around the clock by investigators.
This case was brought as part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative to combat the growing epidemic of child sexual exploitation and abuse launched in May 2006 by the Department of Justice.

Over the years, we have learned a great deal about the practical aspects of securing software; but two lessons that really stand out for me are:
· You will never get the code perfect, so add defenses.
· Make securing software as easy as possible for designers, developers and testers.
Anyone following the SDL will realize that we spend a lot of time, research and effort adding defenses such as /GS, ASLR, NX and so on and then making them SDL requirements. Another SDL defensive requirement we added about two years ago, is to add the following to the startup code, usually main(), in native C or C++ code:
BOOL f=HeapSetInformation(NULL, HeapEnableTerminationOnCorruption, NULL, 0);
You can read more about this function and its security benefits in a blog post from February 2008.
The problem with adding this code is you have to churn your code! Obviously, it's not a big deal in this case, as the code diff is only one line long.
Even though I'm a huge fan of defenses like this, we're always looking for ways to make life as easy as possible for developers, and often that means changing the way we generate code or adding defenses to Windows.
Now back to the subject of this post! Something we have added to VC++ 2010 beta 2 is an automatic call to HeapSetInformation() for all unmanaged C and C++ applications. I love this for two reasons: it's a great defense that makes it harder for an attacker to successfully exploit a heap-based buffer overrun in your code, and it's frictionless because there is nothing the developer needs to do other than compile the code with VC++ 2010 beta 2 or later!
Later in the year I'll write about some other defenses in VC++ 2010 .

First Green's Learning Labs Featured at Sahalee During U.S. Senior Open
Golf courses have become a field trip destination for teachers and students, named "links as labs." First Green's exhibit in the Founders Museum at U.S. Senior Open showcased golf courses hosting teacher/student field trips. An estimated 125,000 guests of the Champions Tour major were invited to visit the museum during the week of the Senior Open.
First Green is an innovative environmental education-outreach program using golf courses as environmental learning labs. Golf course superintendents and/or local golf course representatives host students on field trips where they test water quality, collect soil samples, identify plants, design plantings, assist in stream bed restoration and are involved in the ecology and environmental aspects of the golf course. The students are also introduced to many other aspects of golf.
The Washington State Golf Association, United States Golf Association, local golf clubs, industry sponsors and individual donors support First Green's programs and activities. For more information, visit www.thefirstgreen.org.

Doug West Q&A on PSU coaching candidate Patrick Chambers
June 1, 2011 - Cory Giger
Former Altoona, Villanova and NBA standout Doug West coached alongside Patrick Chambers as assistants at Villanova, and Chambers is now being considered for the Penn State men's basketball job.
Chambers has been head coach at Boston University for two years, compiling a 42-28 record. He is under contract through the 2016 season.
Chambers was an assistant at Villanova from 2004-09, while West was there from 2007-09, and they went to the Final Four their last season there.
"He is a basketball junkie," West said. "Basketball has been his life since he was young. He had an older brother that played at Penn, and he's one of I think 13 kids, so a big family man. Just a great basketball mind. A lot of energy, a lot of passion."
In this Q&A, West talks about his good friend Chambers overcoming getting stabbed earlier in his life, his coaching credentials and whether Penn State can ever establish a recruiting pipeline from Philadelphia.
Q: What is Chambers best at: Xs and Os or talent evaluation and coaching?
A: "He's definitely an Xs and Os guy, and offense is definitely his thing. He's a very good defensive teacher, as well. I think his best trait is he's a very good motivator, very good talker and a great people person."
Q: What level of assistant was he at Villanova?
A: "He was the No. 1 assistant when he left. A perfect example of him was we beat Duke to play Pitt [in the 2009 NCAA Tournament], and after the Duke game he had an interview the next morning with BU. He knocked that interview out all day long, came back, knocked the Pitt scouting tape out and the whole game plan for that game the same day. ... So very organized, very motivated, has his priorities in order, very good family man."
Q: Is he primarily a guard-oriented, get-it-up-and-down-the-floor kind of coach?
A: "I would think all former guards that are coaches, that's their idea, they all want to push it. They all see the court as coaches, see the total court. And I think he's the same type of coach. He's gonna want to push it, but he's gonna want to run set plays and grind it out on the defensive end. He's gonna want to have tough-minded players, guys who are willing to give it up for their teammates and their coaches."
Q: What's his personality like?
A: "He had a situation back when he was younger. He has a nice scar on his neck from when he got stabbed, and he almost died when he was younger -- college days -- so I think that actually changed his life around a little bit. ... He's been around great talent in coaching and has had great basketball around him his whole life."
Q: What are his recruiting skills, and can he go into a kid's living room and sell him on coming to a school?
A: "He can get it done. He's a bulldog. He can sell you anything. He's a very, very good speaker, very good talker. He was in the business world doing something else before he was at Villanova. He's a very good communicator. We had top recruiting classes before I was at Villanova, and he was pretty much part of most of those. So he's a very, very good recruiter."
Q: Does he have good ties to Philly in recruiting?
A: "I would call it great ties to Philly."
Q: So the high school coaches, AAU coaches, he has great ties with them?
A: "Yes. He grew up in Philly, lived in Philly, coached in Philly, went to school in Philly, his whole family is from Philly. When you have that many kids in the family, everyone knows somebody else."
Q: Was he the lead recruiter on any of Villanova's standout recruits like Scottie Reynolds or Corey Fisher?
A: "He was involved. Yeah, I would say after I got there he was probably the lead recruiter because he was involved with so many people."
Q: You've played in Philly. Some people say Philly recruits don't want to come to Penn State and never will. Can any coach get Philly kids to Penn State?
A: "Ummm (laugh). I think that as the program grows, players will want to come play at a program that is successful and competitive year in and year out. You show that you want them to be there and want them to be part of it. Philly kids will go anywhere. I think a lot of them -- the top guys -- look at Penn State as a football school. So it's like, OK, I'm thinking about going to the NBA, I want my dreams to go there, and is Penn State really going to be that spot. It has been for a few guys at Penn State, but I don't think the track record has been that great."
Some bio info. on Chambers from my story this week looking at PSU's candidates:
Who: Head coach at Boston University
Coaching experience: Two years at Boston (42-28)
Age: 39
2010 salary: Unavailable; believed to be in $300,000 range
Case for him: A Pennsylvania native and good young coach who led his team to the NCAA Tournament this past season after serving as an assistant at Villanova from 2004-09.
Case against him: He's only been a head coach for two years and may not be ready for this kind of rebuilding job in a major conference just yet.
The bottom line: Chambers, who was signed to a contract extension through 2016 at BU, has good recruiting ties from his days at Villanova but would still be a bit of a reach.

Woohoo! It's finally here! The long, painful and agonizing off-season will be a thing of the past when the first whistle blows tonight around 7:00 PM. I know this game means nothing in terms of wins and losses, but it's a small glimpse into what's to come in 2009 for our hometown team.
It's the start of what we've been waiting for since the final whistle in the regular season last December. It's the Texans first action against someone other than themselves. And there's so much to look for and watch for.
Tell us who you're watching, what you're looking for, and what you're excited to see.
We'll have a live chat from the kick-off party. We still have plenty of room, so if you decide at the last minute that you don't want to watch the game by your lonesome, come on down to the Ragin Cajun on Richmond. Admit it, it's not as much fun high-fiving yourself.
For those of you coming out to the party, don't forget to set your DVR's so you can break down the game when you're sober!
I'm ready to get this party started!

Post MORE Baby Photos On Facebook, It Makes You A Better Employee!Monica Bielanko
I've had a blog since long before any of my friends even knew what it was. Since I worked as a news producer at WABC in New York City in my twenties.
I wrote almost daily on it, even as my journalism career took off and I was promoted to Executive Producer of FOX in Salt Lake City. The job involved managing an entire newsroom and guiding anchors, reporters, producers, editors and photographers through a successful newscast each evening.
Throughout my time on top of the newsroom food chain I maintained the blog which featured personal stories and photos of my family and each of my children as they were born. Not only did I write on the blog but I posted links to the blog on Facebook where I was friends with my news director and all of my coworkers. Granted, there was the usual learning curve that comes with starting a blog and figuring out what to write. A few posts caused some raised eyebrows on the part of my boss but, to her credit, she always realized the very simple fact that I was a great employee who also had a personal life and liked to write about it.
It's the same for the millions of professionals who work hard but also maintain social media pages. What is social media for if not to share photos, thoughts, ideas, jokes and videos of your grandma trying to Skype? No, not photos of yourself drunk on the bathroom floor, but you holding a glass of wine at a party? Great! An album of photos featuring your newborn in various states of baby adorableness? Bring it on!
That's what parents do. We're brimming with pride over our child's first steps or we're horrified by the wall they've just markered up or we're secretly laughing when they're lying about eating the cookies when even your legally blind grandmother who can't Skype can see the telltale chocolate mustache they're sporting while shaking their head no. So we capture the moment and then we, say it with me, share it on Facebook. And it's not just parents, it's what people do. We're sharing our lives online and encouraging each other and, yes, arguing with each other but it's all an extended part of the human experience.
Why wouldn't we share? Because we're trying to be "professionals?" Because we're trying to maintain some kind of public image via our social media pages? Because allowing co-workers to see an adorable photo from my home life would somehow steal my credibility as a newsroom badass?
Realizing that people are human, respecting that we all have lives outside of work, is as important to a constructive work environment as how we treat each other while at work. Sharing – via Facebook or Tumblr or Blogspot, whatever your social media of choice – helps us learn about each other, become better friends, realize that we're all just doing our best to live life underneath the pressures of work. So it's time for employers – who we all know check out job candidates online before hiring them – to realize that someone holding a beer in a Facebook photo can also be a huge asset to the company. In fact, I'd rather hire that guy than the guy who has gone out of his way to craft a sterile, purely professional, one-dimension brand on the web. That guy? He's the one I'm worried is hiding bodies in his basement.
Over on TIME.com, the founder of Facebook's sister, Randi Zuckerberg, agrees and writes an excellent article about why "It's time to stop pretending we can separate out personal life from our work life."
Zuckerberg shares how coworkers gave her grief after she posted some baby photos on her Facebook page. "Even though I promised myself that when he was born, I wouldn't become "that mom" on Facebook, I fell hard off the wagon. First yawn? Adorbs. Facebook it. First hiccups? Obviously all my friends want to see that. Snoozing in a park? OMG, soooo cute! Who wouldn't want to see baby photos 50 times a day?"
Zuckerberg, in all her proud new mom glory, shared photo after photo. But after an honest coworker gave it to her straight she realized the response from coworkers wasn't at all what she expected. "Randi," the co-worker said. "Asher is adorable, but you can't keep posting a zillion baby photos. You have a professional reputation to uphold."
THIS JUST IN: your professional reputation includes your personal life. It always has, actually. Just in a much more gossipy, underground, watercooler chit-chat way. I am a human being. A wife. A mother. I'm not afraid to share these bits of my life with anyone, including the people I want to hire me. Your kid's elementary school teacher shouldn't be afraid either. She has a life too, you know? She doesn't sleep in the classroom. She wears a bikini when she goes on vacation, has a glass of wine when friends get together and those things are perfectly appropriate. As Zuckerberg notes, "Since we're all going to be exposing more about ourselves online in our careers, we need to start being a bit more tolerant of what we learn about our colleagues and professional contacts. Employees are people too, and most (or at least some) of their lives are spent outside the office. As the distinction between public and private behavior changes, so should our expectations of one another."
Several years into blogging I discovered something Randi Zuckerberg only recently realized. "It's exhausting to put on an act—to be somebody in one situation and somebody else in another. So a long time ago, I decided to stop being afraid to share."
It's understandable that the older generation, the one used to compartmentalizing their professional and private lives, would feel uncomfortable with all the sharing. As Zuckerberg says, right now there are "two generations in the workforce who think in diametrically opposite ways about identity." The older generation grew up in a time when work was work and your home life was something else entirely and never the twain shall meet. Professional personas read like a profile in Forbes and most certainly did not overlap with personal lives.
But those people have it wrong. Or maybe not wrong, perhaps it worked for their time, but it's time to welcome a new way of thinking. Sharing your personal life online doesn't make you unprofessional. That annoying mom on Facebook who shares all the adorbs baby photos could and should be Marisa Mayer, current President and CEO of Yahoo! Why does she need to come off like a robot for us to respect her? As Zuckerberg notes, "We understand that the business leaders of the future will be three-dimensional personalities whose lives, interests, hobbies and passions outside of work are documented and on display."
Those who aren't afraid to share, the people who are able to integrate their personal and professional lives, the ones who can be authentic online and off, are the employees that employers should be looking for. Not the person who has erased any trace of themselves from the Internet save for a sterile resume touting their positive attributes (check the basement for dead bodies!)
The answer to the social media conundrum isn't to share less, it's to share more. Change what it means to be professional in the Internet age. "The time when your personal identity was a secret to your colleagues is over and done. And that is a good thing," says Randi Zuckerberg.
Admit it. Your day was brightened by that photo up there. If it wasn't, you are dead inside and should unfriend me immediately. Or you can friend me right now and upload all of your Halloween photos! If you also happen to be a badass at your job, I'll totally respect you even more, you well-rounded individual, you.

PENICILLIN was injected for the first time into a human patient having an infection on Feb. 12, 1941.37 The patient had severe staphylococcal sepsis and improved considerably, but he died subsequently because of the very limited supply of penicillin. Shortly thereafter, with more antibiotic available, penicillin proved to be extraordinarily effective for the treatment of staphylococcal disease. As a consequence, the mortality rate for staphylococcal septicemia was sharply reduced, and chronic debilitating disease was decreased in those who recovered. But within a decade penicillin was to lose much of its therapeutic effectiveness for staphylococcal sepsis, and, regardless of the advancements made with other antibiotics, the mortality rates from staphylococcal septicemia in many clinics today approach and even surpass 50% of the cases. Many of the disappointing clinical results with penicillin and other antibiotics have been due to the appearance of strains of staphylococci resistant to the antibacterial action of

When was the last time you got this excited about something?
Yookyum Abraham, age 4, dreams of becoming an astronaut when he grows up. In February, he got one step closer to his dream.
His parents surprised him with a trip to the U.S. Space & Rocket Center in Huntsville, then filmed his reaction to seeing the Saturn V rocket for the first time.
At one point in the video he shouts, "Alabama rocket ... Thank you! I really go in there!"
A few seconds later, he prays to God, thanking him for the chance to go see the rocket. When his father starts to say something, he tells him, "Dad, please be quiet while I'm praying!"
Have your kids ever gotten so excited about something that you wish you'd filmed it? (Or you actually did?) Share your story in the comments.

Montreal's executive committee called for tolls on all south shore spans, including the new Champlain bridge.
Réal Ménard, executive committee member in charge of transport, made the announcement at a news conference Sunday morning.
"A toll system is very important for us because we provide new money to pay for the public transportation system," said Ménard.
Mayor Michael Applebaum sent a letter to federal Transport minister Denis Lebel saying the city wants the new Champlain to have eight lanes, two of which would be reserved for public transit.
The exact kind of public transit system will be determined by the Montreal transit agency (AMT), the city said, this coming spring.
The city is throwing its support behind a light rail system which would run from the south shore, onto the new Champlain, through Griffintown and end in the downtown core.
"Of course it is expensive," admitted Ménard. "It's close to $2 billion, and that's the reason why we say if we have the toll system part of the income will be dedicated to the government of Quebec."
Ménard said that if there is only a toll system on the Champlain, people will avoid using the new span all together.
"You can imagine people will use less the Champlain bridge," Ménard said. "They're going to use more the bridge Jacques-Cartier."
Motorists contribute 7-percent of the city's public transit system, Ménard said. For those who don't use busses and metros, he said we are all part of one city and everyone needs to chip in.
He said it is still too early to get into details about how the toll system will work, citing it is now up to the province and the Canadian government to discuss the scenarios.

1) The eggs and the meat from pastured chickens is higher in vitamins because they are fed their natural diet. Insects, grass, etc.
2) Grain fed meat as a ratio of omega 6 that is pretty whack (sometimes as high as 16 omega 6 for 1 omega 3). The problem is not with eating fat but eating the good kind of fat.
3) Again, wild game or fish have more vitamins because the are fed their natural diet. They also live in a stress-free environment with lot of sun exposure and activity.
by buying any of the above (cage free hens and their eggs, and wild caught animals) you will probably support smaller farmers. Animals taste good but they dont deserve to be mass produced. The way my parents raise their animals (pigs, rabbits, duck, etc) is pretty natural. not only do I know that there is an added nutritional value to the meat, but it also taste much better.

The Sellafield nuclear site in Cumbria is partially closed this morning, after elevated levels of radiation were detected.
The plant has been shut to day workers, with only essential staff asked to attend.
In a statement, the company said this morning: "In response to an operational condition on the Sellafield site a conservative and prudent decision has been taken, to operate the site at reduced manning levels, commensurate with safe operations."
A spokesman told the BBC that the radiation readings were "above the normal rating but below anything to cause us to take any action".
We'll bring you updates as we get them this morning.
Here is the full statement from plant operator Sellafield Ltd.
"As a result of a conservative and prudent decision, the Sellafield site is operating normally but with reduced manning levels today.
"This follows the detection of elevated levels of radioactivity at one of the on-site radiation monitors at the north end of the site.
"Essential workers only are being asked to report for work.
"Levels of radioactivity detected are above naturally occurring radiation but well below that which would call for any actions to be taken by the workforce on or off the site.
"The site is at normal status and employees and operational plants are continuing to operate as investigations continue. All our facilities have positively confirmed there are no abnormal conditions and are operating normally."
It's thought that up to 8,000 Sellafield workers have been told to stay at home today. More than 11,000 people work at the site.
A notice on the company website says all day workers, including contractors, should stay at home unless they have been asked to attend.
All 5 cycle, 12 hour continuous shift, laundry, canteen, utilities, and transport personnel have been asked to go to work as normal.
The firm adds: "Personnel should consider how they may continue to support the business
during this period. In some cases, provided this can be agreed with their
line management, this may include home working if appropriate."
One Sellafield worker has said that only safety and essential staff are in work today.
He said other employees had been told not to turn up for work, but had not been given any details of what had happened at Sellafield.
He estimated that thousands of workers were affected.
Sellafield's director of stakeholder relations Rory O'Neill has been talking a bit more about the radiation levels that have been detected this morning.
He told the BBC: "One of the 20-odd site perimeter monitors that we have is registering above normal levels of radiation.
"It's not a level that would trigger any kind of activity on or off site. It's below levels that would demand us to do sheltering or anything like that."
The Department for Energy says it has been in constant contact with the Sellafield site, and has no reason to believe the incident is more serious than plant operators have indicated.
Sellafield only processes spent fuel and no longer produces power from nuclear.
The 68-year-old site is undergoing a decommissioning and dismantling programme, run by a consortium of British company Amec, French group Areva, and US firm URS.
Sky News reports the plant stores enough high and intermediate level radioactive waste to fill 27 Olympic swimming pools.
Sellafield Ltd say the elevated levels of radioactivity that have been detected post no risk to the general public of workforce.
They say workers have been asked to stay at home so they can "focus on investigation and avoid disruption on and off the site".
It said the alert would not have caused an evacuation if it had happened during the day.
Workers say it was an air sampler on a perimeter fence that detected a problem with radiation levels, which led to staff being told to stay away today.
It is understood nothing has been detected inside the plant.
There has been speculation that safety staff were checking to see if there was a malfunction in the air sampler.
There are reported to be traffic problems around the Sellafield, as staff who have turned up for work are turned away.
Around 8,000 workers have been affected by this morning's raised alert.
There are said to be serious delays on the A595.
Nuclear experts say the precautions taken by the operators at Sellafield this morning have been sensible and proportionate.
Expert Malcolm Grimston told Sky News: "They have very carefully set out plans for anything of this nature and they'll simply be following those plans."
Nuclear physics professor Paddy Regan added that asking staff to stay away from the site in these sorts of circumstances, although rare, was standard protocol.
Sellafield Ltd has reiterated there is no risk to the public or work force.
They say there is no evidence of a "nuclear event", and that all precautions have been taken.
No risk to the work force or the public, and no evidence of a nuclear event. All measures taken as a precaution http://t.co/5S6HJozGMz— Sellafield Ltd (@SellafieldLtd) January 31, 2014
The Irish Government says it is speaking to Britain about the increased radiation levels recorded at Sellafield this morning.
The nuclear reprocessing site is just 112 miles across the Irish sea from the coast of Ireland.
In a statement, the Irish government said: "Officials from the Department of the Environment have been in contact with their UK counterparts, and will receive updates throughout the day."
Operators at Sellafield have reportedly told the BBC that this morning's alert was triggered by "naturally occurring" radiation.
Experts have continued to play down the seriousness of this morning's alert.
Richard Wakeford, a professor of epidemiology at the University of Manchester, said: "This is a prudent precaution until the cause is known and the situation rectified.
"It's a different situation here than it was at Fukushima and Chernobyl because you haven't got operating reactors," he said.
When asked how serious today's incident appeared, Andrew Sherry - Director of the Dalton Nuclear Institute, also at the University of Manchester - said: "From the detail that we have got, I think it's very minor. Very minor. Right down the bottom of the list, if on the list at all, I suspect."
Bill Hamilton, from the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority, added: "It is far too early to say there is a leak. Everything being done is precautionary. There is no danger to the workforce, communities or wildlife."
Sellafield Ltd have now confirmed this morning's alert was caused by "naturally occurring Radon", not a leak or problem at the plant.
A spokesman said: "The number one priority for us is, at all times, safe secure stewardship of the Sellafield site, which is the most complex and challenging nuclear site in Europe.
"As such we act in a safety conscious manner, and take cautious, conservative decisions, such as the one taken overnight to ask non-safety essential staff to stay at home this morning, rather than come to the site."
Here is Sellafield Ltd's latest statement in full:
"Sellafield Ltd can confirm that the radioactivity detected by one of our in-air monitors overnight is not attributable to any issue or problem with any of our operations on site.
Our in-air monitors are extremely sensitive and pick up on any abnormality. Overnight the monitoring system initially indicated elevated levels of activity. Following investigation and analysis, we can now confirm these levels to be naturally occurring background radon.
The number one priority for us is, at all times, safe secure stewardship of the Sellafield site, which is the most complex and challenging nuclear site in Europe.
As such we act in a safety conscious manner, and take cautious, conservative decisions, such as the one taken overnight to ask non-safety essential staff to stay at home this morning, rather than come to the site.
All of our plants and storage facilities were quickly confirmed as operating normally, and we were always confident that the issue posed no risk to the workforce or public because the levels being detected, whilst above background radiation levels, were still low. This view was reinforced by the fact that none of our other installed monitors were picking up any kind of increased levels – however, we take such issues so seriously that we investigated fully to confirm that everything was okay.
Standard weekend working operations will continue, with day staff due back in on Monday as normal.
We would like to thank our staff and the wider West Cumbrian community for their calm and mature response to events this morning."
To recap this morning's events:
- Sellafield nuclear plant in Cumbria was partially closed, after elevated levels of radiation were detected by a monitor on the site.
- More than 8,000 workers were told to stay at home for the day, and only essential staff were allowed on site.
- Sellafield Ltd had reassured people there was not believed to be any risk to the workforce or the public.
- And this afternoon, an investigation confirmed that this morning's alert was caused by "naturally occurring radon".

Premier facilities
Our new range of evening football coaching courses are now available to book. The sessions run from January through to February.
Look out for our new courses in the premium surroundings of Brentwood School in Essex. These take place every Tuesday night, and cover General and Advanced levels.
Spurs Lodge, our Premier training facility in Chigwell in Essex, is the venue for our other weekly courses every Monday, Wednesday and Friday.
Coaching at the Lodge takes place in the covered indoor dome that was previously used by the First Team squad. This is a chance for young players to play and develop their game on the same all-weather 3G pitches that were used by their heroes.
Range of age and abilities
We offer a full range of courses which are designed for boys and girls aged 3-15 years, of all abilities.
Every player is assessed individually, as part of our 'five-tier development pathway'. This structured approach to coaching places each player with others of a similar age, skill and experience, to ensure they get the most from each session.
The pathway also gives players and their parents a clearly defined longer-term development route for young players, from tots right through to Advanced levels.
Dedicated courses
In addition to our General and Advanced level courses, we are pleased to be able to offer dedicated sessions for tots, goalkeepers and our elite invitation players.
Monday nights now feature a dedicated session for young goalkeepers, with a special focus on all the elements needed for young keepers to improve their game.
FA and UEFA-qualified staff
All our sessions are hosted by our dedicated team of full-time coaching professionals. The Tottenham Hotspur Global Coaching team are all FA and UEFA-qualified. Using their experience and guidance, our coaches give every player the chance to learn the essential football skills and techniques of the game; including dribbling, passing, turning, finishing, defending and goalkeeping.

Hoppe: While Texas freezes, Gov. Rick Perry skates – and y'all are OK with that
While you're freezing your tuckus off, Gov. Rick Perry is in sunny Southern California.
Austin Bureau Chief Christy Hoppe writes that on Wednesday, the second day of the crippling ice storm in North Texas, the day when tens of thousands of Texans were subjected to rolling electrical blackouts, Perry "quietly boarded a plane to San Diego" for a five-day trip.
In other states, such a move would be politically devastating to a sitting governor.
But here, there's barely been a hint of outrage.
Christy explains why in this anaylsis.

"We are in the process of organizing an employee "Day of Service" for Feb. 9. Would your organization be able to participate…?"the email said.
FOTAS responded, "Yes! – with caveats. The volunteer program at the shelter is doing its best to accommodate community involvement. Unfortunately, until the new shelter is built, there are logistical constraints on how many people can productively be on site at one time.
FOTAS volunteer counselors Caroline and Denise are available by appointment for volunteer orientations. Contact FOTAS or the County Shelter. New volunteers learn Animal Control and shelter staff functions, about shelter layout, play yards and walking trails. They learn FOTAS' role and history, even about the cat facility FOTAS built. They meet the adoptable animals and learn the dos and don'ts of animal management.
The orientation is thorough and intends that the volunteer experience be as safe and pleasant as possible for all concerned.
A "Day of Service" mom emailed FOTAS: "My daughter is a Junior Girl Scout and she is looking for a service project to earn a badge. She is a loving, gentle, and a responsible child who loves animals. Your website says that you're looking for volunteers to pet and groom cats waiting to be adopted. Would this be something she could do on Saturdays? She is 10 years old, and I would be volunteering also."
Youth under the age of 17 have to be accompanied by a responsible adult, preferably a parent. Younger children must come with their parent or guardian and be closely supervised throughout. Youngsters who come to the shelter find interacting with cats and dogs a lot of fun and very rewarding.
The Girl Scout's mom had a younger daughter, too, age 6. She and the two girls came to the shelter and then wrote: "My daughters and I volunteered 2 weekends ago. We are trying to make it an every weekend event but of course things come up. We will be up there this weekend to help out again. We enjoyed it so much…"
It is very important to check with FOTAS or the County Shelter in advance of bringing a group. Due to current space and personnel limitations, if more people show up than can be effectively accommodated, it is hard on everyone, especially the animals.
Hopefully, by the end of this year more of everything will be possible: volunteers, adoptions, and community involvement. The ground-breaking ceremony for the new Aiken County Animal Shelter is March 3.
The "Day of Service" mom wrote one more time:
"We absolutely enjoyed every minute volunteering (with the Day of Service) and can't wait to do it again next year. Also, I will bring a picture of "James" (aka Lucky) and "Brenda" (aka Lulu). These are the two dogs we've adopted from the shelter, since volunteering a month ago. They are a wonderful addition to our family and are much loved."
There are all kinds of benefits to getting involved at our County Shelter. Dogs are still half-price until next Saturday, and cats always!
FOTAS volunteers work with the Aiken County Animal Shelter, 411 Wire Road. For more information, email email@example.com or visit www.fotasaiken.org.

Update: Undercover Dallas vice officers used to cite Uber drivers; Rawlings to send proposed ordinance to committee
Update at 5:34 p.m.: At least we hear from Uber concerning the proposed ordinance. Here, in full, is the the email we just received from Leandre Johns, Uber's general manager in Dallas.
Uber's growth in Dallas is a clear indication of both the consumer demand for better, more reliable transportation options and the positive economic impact Uber's service has on the city's livery drivers.
This proposal to revise existing limo ordnances outside the normal city council procedures is simply an orchestrated effort to limit competition for the taxi industry. The facts are simple: Uber is a technology company, not a transportation company. This proposal is akin to requiring Expedia to be licensed by the FAA.
The bottom line is that this proposal was added to the agenda at the last minute precisely because the anti-competitive interests it seeks to protect know that public opinion is not with them. These changes would not only limit consumer choice, but would reduce driver incomes and cut jobs from the for-hire industry.
Update at 5 p.m.: In an interview with The Dallas Morning News, Dallas Mayor Mike Rawlings said he found out about the proposed Uber ordinance only after reading Sunday's item concerning the agenda item. He said he will also move to have it removed from the council's to-do list on Wednesday and send it to the Transportation and Trinity River Committee.
"Hopefully we'll have all the votes to study this more closely," he said.
Rawlings also confirmed what council member Scott Griggs told us earlier today: that undercover Dallas vice officers cited Uber drivers 61 times. Rawlings wouldn't say if he thinks this is an appropriate use of vice officers' time, only that "how we use our undercover officers needs to be thought very carefully about. I can't speak to why they decided to use people in this regard versus doing something else. It seems on the surface we're focusing on legalistic issues, and I didn't understand that was the role of undercover police."
We'll have more in tomorrow's paper.
Update at 4:41 p.m.: I will be speaking to Mayor Mike Rawlings shortly. Until then we will have to go with this brief statement just issued by his chief of staff, Paula Blackmon:
I was surprised about the Uber item this morning. I will be asking council to send this back to transportation for a review. We will get to the bottom of this for Dallas Citizens.
Original item posted at 2:19 p.m.: Dallas City Council members Scott Griggs and Philip Kingston have pulled from Wednesday's consent agenda that item intended to slow Uber's roll through Dallas' streets. It's now up for individual consideration, which means it will likely be the subject of much discussion before — or if — the city code rewrite is put to a vote Wednesday in front of what may be a sizable crowd.
As far as Griggs is concerned, the item never should have made it to the agenda at all, especially at the last minute. He says it should have passed through the council's newly christened Transportation and Trinity River Committee on its way to a full briefing. Only then should council have been asked to vote on what he considers a wholesale rewrite of Chapter 10A of the Dallas City Code, which regulates limousines.
"I am deeply concerned and troubled," says Griggs of the code rewrite, which says, among other things, limos have to wait 30 minutes before they can pick up passengers. "The entire council should have been briefed on this. We need to understand the litigation posture on an item like this. It's my understanding Uber, who this new ordinance is directed towards, has sued other municipalities and has the support of the Federal Trade Commission — and they have deep pockets. So that gives me reason for pause. And to me this is a policy issue. Policy decisions are in the council's purview, and I have not been briefed on this matter. No one has discussed it with me. This isn't the right way to make policy. And what's the rush?"
We asked for a comment hours ago, and in a statement just dispatched by city spokesman Frank Librio, City Hall insists this isn't a major overhaul, just a few "minor clarifications" intended to ease Uber and its customers on down the road. Says the statement:
These clarifications strengthen the City's position that a company that advertises and dispatches limousines for hire must first have operating authority from the City.
The transportation-for-hire industry is changing and Dallas welcomes new entrants and technology, provided that all companies operate legally and on a level playing field that is safe, reliable and fair to consumers.
The proposed ordinance does not stop Uber from operating in Dallas. It will provide a way for Uber to comply and operate legally. It is important for the public to be aware that if the City has no way of regulating this type of transportation service, the public might have no recourse should the vehicle be involved in an accident; should the consumer experience a pay dispute; or any other consumer related or safety issue with the service. This action protects the consumers that enjoy this service.
These clarifications are an initial step towards a coming larger discussion with the City Council on the City's role in regulating the transportation-for-hire industry. For this reason, a briefing memorandum was sent to City Council on Friday, advising them of the addendum item on the August 28, 2013 agenda.
The statement does not address why the item landed on the consent agenda initially. Griggs also disputes the statement that these are "minor" changes.
"There is nothing insignificant or minor about what is bring proposed," says the council member. "This [Chapter 10A] is an extremely complicated chapter with extremely nuanced language, and there's nothing minor about the proposed amendments. In some respects, these are wholesale changes."
Griggs also wants to know who authorized the 61 citations assistant city manager Joey Zapata says have been issued to 31 Uber drivers.
"What laws have allegedly been broke, and who's writing the citations?" asks Griggs. "Are these coming from the Dallas police? Are these code enforcement? I think that's important. What laws have been broken? If laws were broken and they wrote citations, why is a new law even necessary?"
[Update at 4:12 p.m.: Griggs says he's learned who issued the citations — Dallas police officers, specifically vice officers, with the support of uniform officers and reserves. He confirms independently what I was told, off the record, by another source familiar with the operation.
"In May and June, Dallas police led some undercover vice operations directed against Uber," says Griggs. "And I am deeply, deeply concerned about management's reallocation of valuable personnel."]
We are awaiting a response from Uber, which is said to be coming later today.
In the meantime, Dallas' start-up community has turned the hashtag #DallasNeedsUber into a bona fide Facebook Event.

Recycled Outdoor Music Station
Do you have an outdoor music station for your children or students? We had so much fun making ours and it sounds just lovely!
l've been excited to create an outdoor music station since seeing these ones by Growing a Jeweled Rose and Play Dr Mom. Last week Peanut and his friend (both turning three years old this month) helped me make what turned out to be a beautiful and musical addition to our outdoor play space. Although we worked on this project over the course of several days, it could easily be started and completed in an afternoon.
Using acrylic paint, the boys and I painted cans and the rings from mason jar lids. The boys loved doing this. Painting three-dimensional objects is always a nice change from painting flat surfaces such as paper, canvas, or cardboard. It's also a fine motor challenge for little ones as they figure out how best to hold and paint the objects at the same time.
After they dried, I coated them in Mod Podge. Later, using a hammer and nail I put a small hole in the top of each can. I enlisted the help of my little carpenter who was thrilled to have an opportunity to use his hammer and a real nail.
I threaded thin, fabric covered wire through the holes and tied jingle bells (purchased on sale after Christmas) on the end of the wire.
The photos below illustrate these steps. I love the little blue fingerprints on the inside of the can in the bottom left photo.
I also tied the jar lids and some of the jingle bells onto pieces of wire.
I am so pleased with how our little project turned out. They look so pretty hanging in the woods and will provide a new element to our outdoor play. The kids can create great clanging and jingling sounds by banging the cans and jar lids with sticks.
We have several projects planned this year for our backyard and surrounding woods. Stay tuned to see what we'll do next! I promise that all will be economical and easily achievable.
In the meantime, please follow my Outdoor Play Spaces for Children Pinterest board. I have so many amazing ideas from around the web saved there!
UPDATE: I wrote about some of the best features of our outdoor play space in this post: How to Create Outdoor Play Spaces that Encourage Unstructured Play.

Morning--two hardboiled eggs and a couple dried dates.
Lunch- broccoli slaw with ham mixed with Lemonaise with dried sweetened cranberries on the side--excellent lunch idea, kind of winged it with what I had grabbed on the shopping trip.
I had thought about saying more here, but don't feel the need to now. I have moved passed it now, coudl be that I let it fall away, with cutting my hair and napping in the tub--just move forward. I may go into it later, but not tonight, but I almost don't feel like looking that far back. I have already moved too far ahead of the thought itself.
Dinner-a hodge podge of things, a little broccoli cheddar soup, a couple bites of ham, a goat milk yogurt and a kombucha...and the last few gulps of chocolate coconut juice.
