The mastermind behind Apple sheds his low profile and steps forward to tell his story for the first time.
Before cell phones that fit in the palm of your hand and slim laptops that fit snugly into briefcases, computers were like strange, alien vending machines. They had cryptic switches, punch cards and pages of encoded output. But in 1975, a young engineering wizard named Steve Wozniak had an idea: What if you combined computer circuitry with a regular typewriter keyboard and a video screen? The result was the first true personal computer, the Apple I, a widely affordable machine that anyone could understand and figure out how to use.
Wozniak's life—before and after Apple—is a "home-brew" mix of brilliant discovery and adventure, as an engineer, a concert promoter, a fifth-grade teacher, a philanthropist, and an irrepressible prankster. From the invention of the first personal computer to the rise of Apple as an industry giant, iWoz presents a no-holds-barred, rollicking, firsthand account of the humanist inventor who ignited the computer revolution.
This memoir truly reflects its author, both in its subject matter and its happy-go-lucky tone... A welcome, fresh perspective for an industry that seems so far removed from its original ideas. -- Peter Burrows - BusinessWeek The mastermind behind Apple tells his story for the first time, from the invention of the first personal computer to the rise of Apple as an industry giant. -- Book Passage At last, Mr. Wozniak gets the stage all to himself [in a] chatty memoir full of surprises... He reveals a technology pioneer more charming-and whose life is more poignant-than we expected. -- George Anders - Wall Street Journal

Watch the latest travel nursing videos from Medical Solutions!
NEW! How Not To Videos
There's a lot of freedom in Travel Nursing, but there are some fundamental things you definitely want to do (or not do!) to improve your experience and build a successful career as a Traveler.
This collection of humorous videos shows you how not to tackle various elements of Travel Nursing. Each video is paired with a contrasting "how to" article explaining how to be a great Travel Nurse by navigating aspects of the industry with ease. Our How Not To series will help you conquer choosing a Travel Nursing company, building a relationship with your recruiter, making requests for Travel Nurse housing, and more — plus, we hope you'll get a good laugh out of our how not to videos!
Our YouTube Channel
See all the latest and greatest videos we've produced. On our YouTube channel you will find all the videos we've ever made; everything from housing tips to traveling with your pets. You'll also see videos we've made around the office just for fun.
Take a few minutes and watch some videos to give you a good idea of what we're all about at Medical Solutions.
Traveler Videos
It's one thing to hear us tout our great jobs and services we provide all of travelers but it definitely has more meaning when it comes straight from those out there on the road experiencing it firsthand. That's why we believe we should share with you the many different stories our travelers have to tell.
Though it would be great to visit each and every one of our travelers in the many wonderful locations across the United States – it could get rather expensive. So what we do instead is send our handy little video camera to our travelers and ask them to do a little show and tell. What story will you tell?
Housing Videos
Our housing experts Jill and Kim know the needs of travel nurses like you. We understand that caring for others all day is stressful and that's why we believe it's important to provide you with housing that is relaxing and comfortable – a place where you can go to unwind, a place you can call home for the next thirteen weeks.
Watch as they discuss the many different facets to think about when securing housing for your next assignment. With so many options to consider it's best to get the facts first, then decide where and how you want to live while working.
Pet Videos
At Medical Solutions we love our pets just as much as our travelers do and we know how much it would mean to be able to bring them along on assignments. For some, pets are like their children and they would never consider going anywhere without them, and we would never want our travelers to be without those they love while on assignment.
Traveling with a pet does add some extra challenges to your journey but having your pet with you gives you someone to share the journey with and what a journey it will be with them in tow. Watch these videos to learn important tips on how to help your pets adapt to their new surroundings and make the trip(s) with little or no incidents.
Send us your Travel Nursing Video!
Do you have some great advice or just a great travel nursing story to share with your fellow travel nurses? Why not record a video and send it our way.
We would love to share it for you. Your experiences and knowledge are valuable resources for other travelers so don't keep them to yourself. Spread the knowledge.

We've already talked about permaculture, a planning method that optimizes even the most limited resources. And it's exactly in urban environments – seeing the limited amount of space available – that making the most of every square metre becomes essential.
Windows, small balconies, classic tiled or asphalted yards are probably the environments that we most often have at hand, when not even the smallest of gardens is available: we look at them, holding our usual cup of herbal tea, sad and frustrated, dreaming of wide open green areas.
But that's exactly where apprentice permaculturists can let their creativity loose against the difficulties, inventing unexpected solutions that not even Bill Mollison has come up with yet!
Now I'll take the liberty and responsibility of giving you a brief summary of some of the basic design principles used in permaculture, which become essential in difficult situations such as the urban areas we've just described:
observe everything you have available
evaluate and aim to create an equilibrium that balances the resources used and their yield
let yourself be inspired by nature's forms
try to integrate each element in such a way as to create reciprocal support with the others, both pre-existing or that we will add: in permaculture we say that each element must perform various functions
prefer a slow, small-scale approach: it's more sustainable and allows you to evaluate the effect of your actions… after the thoughts have settled
love diversity; beware of monocultures: in agriculture, in culture, in your diet… Diversity is a resource!
Have you just got one window?
The least adequate situation. Ok: around the window you can hang some light-weight pots, in which you'll grow cut-and-come-again salad leaves, if you plant them one after the other at intervals they'll be ready in the same order, so, while the first you've eaten is growing back, you can cut the next one, in that way you'll have fresh salad for several weeks! Or, why not, you can create a plant curtain: put a window-box in front of your window and stick a small trellis in it so that chili peppers and tropaeolum (commonly known as nasturtiums) can climb up it; they'll look and taste great, as well as decoratively shading your room! You can also grow tomatoes, hanging downwards, in plastic bottles: they remain small but it's a good creative recycling experiment, they look good and you'll be able to boast about it with your friends! Obviously you'll also keep small pots with the aromatic herbs you use for cooking, such as rosemary, sage, chives, etc.: always ready and within reach!
Have you got a balcony?
This already gives many more possibilities. First of all it's essential that you make good use of the precious vertical space: the walls, with the use of brackets and shelves, and the side that opens onto the street, using trellising that will also create nice slightly shady areas, a sort of barrier against the outside world. On the floor it's important that you put the taller plants behind the shorter ones – in order not to create competition – as well as using light-weight containers (which will then become pretty heavy when full of damp soil!): old plastic buckets, jute sacks, fruit boxes, old saucepans and even Tetra Pak cartons – cut in half and with holes made in the bottom – which are fine for small plants. It's amazing to discover how much good food can be grown on a simple balcony: tomatoes in the deepest buckets with basil and French marigolds planted around them; green beans climbing up the trellis, together with aubergines and peppers, carrots in deep boxes of loose soil, lettuce in pots, garlic, chives and parsley all over the place! And if you've got a cool slightly shady spot, why don't you allow yourself a small strawberry harvest too?
Have you got a yard?
Even if you share a yard, and it's sadly asphalted over, you can do miracles! You can ask if you can use part of it to grow food or maybe, better still, organize a vegetable garden together with some of your neighbours. Besides using the systems for small spaces already described above, you can have a go at some ideas that maybe require a bit more room but that also guarantee a higher yield of produce. For example you could create a beautiful spiral shaped bed of aromatic herbs using jute sacks; or get a few bales of straw and start growing vegetables on them: you need to make little holes, which you then fill with soil and you plant tomato plants, salad leaves and basil in them. With recycled pallets you'll find it's easy to build raised beds for growing aubergines and beans, peppers and parsley, carrots and onions, lettuce and mint! If you want to have a go at growing potatoes you can do so in bins or drums, or once more in jute sacks, or even in used car tyres: all discarded materials that get a second life!
The yard, full of greenery and flowers (because the vegetables flower too!) will come to life: you might see some ladybirds, or butterflies or even some precious bees!
Water and compost
In each of the cases above you'll need to face the issue of a supply of water: in the communal yard of the building in which you live tanks can be connected to the gutters in order to collect rainwater (maybe camouflaging them with climbing plants: some beautiful ivy or star jasmine), on balconies all you need is a bucket for this purpose.
Even in the city you can make compost, with a little extra indispensable care in order to avoid unpleasant aromas and irritating swarms of flies. Creating a good, highly varied, mixture of materials at various degrees of decomposition, using a container that permits the passage of air and making sure that the waste is well broken up or shredded, are tricks that speed up and optimize the process. We'll take a more detailed look at this issue in the future, to give you all the information you need.
Lastly mulching, which can be really useful in the city, because it helps keep the soil cool and damp during hot urban summers! So get hold of plenty of leaves, grass cuttings, bark – whatever you can find, even in the city, as long as it's not contaminated – as well as the classic and always popular straw!

All Saints Sunday Yr B
Sermon shared by Garth Wehrfritz- Hanson
October 2003
Summary: Sermon for All Saints Sunday, Yr B, based on John 11:32-44.
Scripture: John 11:32-11:44 (add scripture)
Tags: Church Body Of Christ (add tag)
Denomination: Lutheran
Audience: General adults
As the story unfolds, after the Jewish audience make their comment about Jesus� love for Lazarus and wonder, like Mary, why he could not have prevented Lazarus from dying; John tells us in verse 38 that for a third time Jesus expresses his emotion: �Then Jesus, again greatly disturbed, came to the tomb.� Or as Dr Barclay translates it: �Again a groan was wrung from Jesus�s inner being.� Notice then what follows after this third expression of Jesus� emotion. Jesus, going against the advice of Martha, and most likely surprising the whole audience, orders the tomb to be removed after Lazarus had been lying dead for four days, which according to Jewish tradition, the soul would have left the body. Over against the protests of the �stench� of a four-day-old, dead, decomposing body; Jesus orders the audience to �Take away the stone.� Then, after a prayer and with a loud cry, he says, �Lazarus, come out!� Lo and behold, that�s exactly what happens! The four-day-old dead man comes out, grave-clothes and all! Next, Jesus instructs his audience to: �Unbind him, and let him go.�
This last segment of the story is, I believe, very instructive for us on this All Saints Sunday. It reminds us all that the restoring to life of Lazarus is not only the work of Jesus, but also requires the cooperation of the faith community. It is the faith community who roll the stone of the tomb away. It is also the faith community who unwrapped Lazarus from his grave-clothes. So too, we are who we are as the Church today not because we have made it on our own. Rather, we are who we are today as a people of faith because of the legacy of faith that we have inherited from our ancestors in the faith. There is not a soul here today, I believe, who has not, somewhere along life�s journey been deeply influenced by the life of the saints who have gone before us. Whether it�s our parents, grandparents, our neighbours and friends, our Sunday School or other teachers, our pastors or other leaders in the Church�we�ve all benefited from the life and influence of saints. In fact, the saints who influenced us have been the very presence of Christ in our lives.
In our world today, we can all too easily smell the �stench� of death. Death in the fast-paced lives that we live. Death in our obsession with �making it� no matter what, even if that means selling our very souls. Death in the prevalent values of consumerism, materialism, and individualism, which exploit people and the world�s resources without any limits. Death in our hunger and thirst for entertainment, which promotes violence as the means to solving life�s problems. The list could go on almost endlessly. Thank God that through Jesus and with the help of the communion of saints we are able to live a new, death-free life! We are called by Jesus to unbind the death-clothes of this world and set people free to live a life of love and abundance in Christ. Amen.

Whitney's death a lesson
The recent passing of Whitney Houston brought back memories of her wonderful voice and her phenomenal rendition of "The Star-Spangled Banner" at the Super Bowl. No one, to date, has done it better. It is a sad day when we see how drug addictions can ravage a person with such God-given talents.
Some have said we should remember her for all the good things she did and her talents, and not get caught up in the details of her death. I agree to an extent. But if she is to be a role model for the children who enjoyed her music, then we cannot forget that she had the world in her hands and let it drop. She brought herself to this tragic end and this should be a lesson for all those who will follow her.
Life is too precious to waste it by using illicit drugs and abusing prescription drugs. As Whitney sang, "Children are our future, teach them well and let them lead the way." This lesson should hit home.
John A. Hayowyk Sr., Succasunna
Honor the real heroes
Come on, Star-Ledger. Get your priorities right! Flags at half-staff ("Whitney deserves New Jersey tribute," Feb. 14)?
Whitney Houston was a very talented and beautiful singer from New Jersey but, unfortunately, she suffered from addiction problems. She was hardly what I would call a hero or role model. How about asking for flags at half-staff for Lance Cpl. Osbrany Montes De Oca, 20, of North Arlington, killed in Helmand province in Afghanistan last Friday? He should be celebrated as our hero and serve as a role model for all of us.
My condolences go out to his family. May God bless his soul and may he rest in eternal peace.

To the Editor In a recent epidemiological study, Gregory and colleagues1 concluded that induction or augmentation of labor during childbirth is associated with increased odds of autism in children. Unfortunately, several aspects of the design and interpretation of the findings were overlooked. We articulate them next.
(1) The primary outcome (autism) is poorly defined since the specific designation for children with multiple exceptionalities was "at the discretion of school personnel" because of lack of guidelines. This raises the possibility of response misclassification likely biasing the results. (2) The exposed (labor induction/augmentation) and the unexposed (no induction/augmented) groups are not comparable, thereby violating one of the fundamental principles of cohort study designs.2 The unexposed group included patients who delivered after spontaneous labor as well patients who delivered by repeat cesarean prior to the onset of labor. The cesarean delivery rate in North Carolina during the study years 1990 to 1998 was 22% to 23% and the repeat cesarean delivery rate was estimated to be approximately 10% of the total number of deliveries.3 Therefore, approximately 62 504 women who had repeat cesarean delivery were included in the unexposed group. This translates to a significant percentage (approximately 14%) of patients in the unexposed group who may never have been exposed to labor. Therefore, the reference group was at a clear advantage, thus having less chance for autism (selection bias). This bias would have likely led to an overestimation of the associations reported by Gregory et al. (3) The potential inclusion of more than 1 pregnancy per woman violates the statistical assumption of independence of observations, potentially leading to incorrect statistical and biologic inferences. This is very important given the heritable nature of autism.4 (4) A Cox proportional hazards regression that takes account of the changing profile of autism risks by the child's age (at diagnosis) is more appropriate than a logistic regression model. (5) The conclusions leave room for bias due to residual confounding because several important confounders were not adjusted. (6) Our concerns regarding the heterogeneity of the primary exposure and our argument that there was no association between labor/augmentation and autism when the correct diagnostic criteria for autism were applied for the last 3 birth years of the study (1996-1998) have been espoused elsewhere.5

The tied up woman with the tube in her throat and her friends have apparently succeeded in getting the York (GB) city council to ban the sale of foie gras. However, if statements made by ban proponents like city councilman Paul Blanchard are any indication of the scope of the impending ban, large animals like the woman in the photo may still have reason to worry.
According to this meat trade publication MeatInfo.com councilman Blanchard is reported to have said
"The torture of small innocent animals should not be a matter of personal dietary choice."

That is a depressing way to start a Holiday. The animal rights people seem to be using an awful lot of sex as a selling point. I just blogged about the naked Alicia Silverstone PETA ad.

Augustine's routine now goes something like this: load of chips, deer carcass, a few pages from one of councilamn Blanchard's speeches, load of chips, black bear carcass, more chips, a few pages from one of councilamn Blanchard's speeches, another deer.
And how much suffering will be averted by PETA? None. They'd rather showboat with a phony issue than try to tilt at the Smithfield-Tyson-Cargill windmill that causes the real suffering.
If only they'd let that girl simulate cramps to remind folks of the cramped quarters the livestock that really suffer are subjected to.
Instead they simulate Gramps and his tall tales.

- Scheme launched to connect New Generation of Software Developers with prospective employers
- 'Employment Fair' to be held at Magic Software's office in Bracknell, Berkshire, Wednesday April 18th.
Or Yehuda, Israel, March 14, 2012 – Magic Software Enterprises Ltd. (NASDAQ: MGIC), a global provider of mobile and cloud-enabled application and business integration platforms, announced today that it is launching a Graduate Recruitment Programme, to help its customers in their recruitment processes and efforts in finding the next generation of IT graduates to employ.

A fixture on the Southern California culinary scene for more than 20 years, Chef Andre Guerrero has cooked in kitchens ranging from his family's restaurant to the Los Angeles Biltmore Hotel and developed his own style of contemporary ethnic and fusion cuisines as owner/chef of Senior Fred, Duet and, currently, Max. His latest project, The Oinkster, is the chef's first foray into the quick-service arena. The concept's unique menu is fueled by applewood and steeped in slow-food cooking traditions. With The Oinkster, Guerrero hopes to launch a new quick-service category, "slow fast food."
Top-selling sandwiches at The Oinkster are filled with applewood-smoked, house-cured pastrami and slow-roasted North Carolina-style pork. Rotisserie chicken; fresh-ground, one-third pound, Nebraska Angus beef burgers; hand-cut Belgian fries; and salads round out the savory offerings. All items are priced under $10.
For dessert, locally made ice cream is turned into sundaes topped with homemade Valrhona chocolate hot fudge sauce. Milkshakes are made with the same ice cream, plus simple syrup, milk, and fresh seasonal fruit. Guerrero is not afraid to try something different. He uses the ube, a sweet purple yam popular in Filipino cuisine, in milkshakes.
The Right Ingredients
Guerrero also believes in taking the time to get his ingredients just right. Take The Oinkster's pastrami, for example. The restaurant serves about 500 pounds of pastrami on a weekly basis, and its version of the seasoned, sliced beef is based on Guerrero's own recipe.
Guerrero experimented for two years to replicate the distinctive combination of smoke and spice he recalled from childhood pastrami sandwiches in San Francisco. He started by using the more costly and flavorful navel end of the brisket. And instead of injecting the meat with the mixture of water, salt, sugar, and nitrates that many commercial manufacturers use to quick-cure pastrami in three days, Guerrero relies on traditional brining methods.
"I did a lot of research and, as far as I know, nobody house-cures pastrami anymore, not even the New York delis," Guerrero says. "Now it's farmed out to commercial manufacturers."

NRLM funds: Joseph comes out against Ramesh
By Express News Service - KOCHI
Published: 27th November 2012 12:18 PM
Last Updated: 27th November 2012 12:18 PM
Rural Development Minister K C Joseph and Union Minister Jairam Ramesh seems to be on a collision course as far as the utilisation of the Central funds for the National Rural Livelihood Mission (NRLM) is concerned.
Though Ramesh has flatly refused the state's request on the funds, Joseph, on Monday, retaliated saying that the state government will allocate funds according to its discretion.
"Kudumbashree Mission is a programme run by the state government. By looking at the funds allocated to the mission in the last 18 months after the UDF came to power, one could understand the importance the government has given to Kudumbashree. But funds need to be given to NGOs and nearly 40,000 self-help groups in the state.
The state government will use its discretion to allot the Central Government funds in this regard," Joseph said in Kottayam.
In response to a question, he said some of the bureaucrats who were at the helm of Kudumbashree during the LDF rule were now in the Union Rural Development Ministry, implying that they would be influencing the decisions taken by Jayaram Ramesh.
Biennale Fest
About the Kochi-Muziris Biennale-2012 fest, he said the state government departments would associate with the fest but no government funds would be allotted for its conduct.
"Kochi Biennale Foundation (KBF), the organisers of the event, was allotted Rs 5 crore by the LDF government in 2010, but it has been found out that the KBF has not maintained a proper account of the funds. A report regarding this would be kept for discussion in the cabinet meet to be held on Wednesday. The Cabinet will decide whether to take any action against the foundation," he said.

The year was 1933, Fred Hoeme and W. L. Graham were young farmers whose only mission at the time was farming. Now more than six decades later, farmers, engineers and others in the industry still marvel at the success of their joint venture - the chisel plow that bears both their names.
The American Society of Agricultural Engineers will honor both the Oklahoma inventor, a Texas manufacturer and the invention as part of its national historic landmark program today.
At 4 p.m., dedication ceremonies will establish a permanent marker at the U.S. Department of Agriculture Conservation and Production Research Laboratory located at 2300 Experiment Station Road, west of Bushland.
The public is invited to help recognize the achievements of both men. Members of the Hoeme and Graham families will attend.
The monument, set in Texas by the national engineering organization, will feature a commemorative plaque near one of the early plows on display. The Bushland locations will become one of only two ASAE sites in the state.
Last May, at a similar dedication held in Hooker, Okla., an identical marker was placed in a city park. According to Bushland USDA laboratory director, Dr. Nolan Clark, the engineering society will be sending its officials here to make the presentation on behalf of the Oklahoma and Texas sections.
"This will complete efforts to place historic markers in both states," Clark said.

Whitaker's character is the squad leader, a former Behavior Unit superstar.
The planted spinoff will air this spring as an episode of "Criminal Minds," with Richard Shepard directing a script by Chris Mundy. The trade says that Whitaker would also serve as producer on the spinoff.

ok but not what we had in mind

Last Friday night, as I (Dr. Perry Jameson) arrived home from the hospital, Flipper, my 6-year-old hound mix, a Charleston Animal Society rescue, dashed out of the dog door to greet me as I stepped from my truck.
This is what he does every day, rain or shine, hot or cold.
During my 30-minute commute, I had been pondering all of the responsibilities and could feel my stress level rising. Seeing Flipper's joy at my return home made me think, "Why can't I be as happy as him? What can I learn from this happy mutt?"
I decided I want to approach life the way Flipper does. So here are some lessons I have learned from him that have made my life, and hopefully those that share it with me, better.
Greet your family and friends like you missed them.
I am not the only one that Flipper rushes to greet. Each family member gets this same overjoyed reception.
So now I try to greet my human family members like I am glad to see them when I, or they, arrive home. I get up from the TV or put my paper down and rush to them with a hug. It makes them and me feel better.
Play often.
Flipper will play any time, any where and with anyone who wants. He will play by himself with a tennis ball or towel. He is always eager to go on a run with me, even at 6 a.m.
So now I am trying to do the same. If the kids want to play a game, I try not to say no every time and even occasionally instigate one myself. I find that while having fun, I forget about the stresses in my life.
Live for the moment.
Flipper does not worry about tomorrow, he lives in the moment. This is a lesson I also have learned from patients. Many dogs and cats have come to me where I have found cancer, yet at the time they are asymptomatic. I tell their owners how, at this moment, it is harder on us than their pet.
All the dog or cat knows is they got to spend extra time with mom and dad. As the owners, we focus on the future we will have without them instead of enjoying the day we get with them right now.
So now I try to focus more on all the great things going on in my life instead of the ones in the future I cannot change anyway.
Forgive and forget quickly.
There are so many times I reprimand Flipper for getting food off of the counter or eating the cats' food. He knows I love him and seems to forget immediately that I was ever upset.
So now I try to do the same with my family, friends and co-workers. Once we have discussed an issue and come to a resolution, I try to forget about it. These are the people I want to share my life with and no point brooding over a mistake I or they made. Flipper wouldn't.
Show your love.
If I make eye contact with Flipper, he will wag his tale. If I get close, he will lick my face. He always is quick to let me know how he feels about me.
So I have been trying to be better about giving my family a hug, telling my employees I appreciate their work, even letting Dr. Henri Bianucci know he has been a great business partner.
It is hard to believe I have learned so many life lessons from the little puppy the kids and I adopted six years ago from the Charleston Animal Society.

Smirking 'No smoke without fire' crew win - we all lose
Thanks to the failure of police to stop Jimmy Savile, all men are now potentially tarred with the 'sex abuser' brush, says Eilis O'Hanlon
Published 17/08/2014 | 02:30
So now Cliff Richard's name has been added to the list of those whose reputations have been irrevocably tarnished, as the authorities in the UK, caught between a rock and a hard place, try to make amends for their failure over decades to stop Jimmy Savile with a retrospective crackdown on every real or perceived act of sexual impropriety by celebrities of the same era.
The singer insists that the allegations against him of assaulting a boy under the age of 16 in the 1980s are "completely false". While his home in Berkshire, England, has been searched, and a number of items removed, Sir Cliff has not been charged.
The notion of being innocent until proven guilty used to mean something, but that hasn't stopped the wild rumours from spreading online; and it raises the question why any man in his right mind would ever allow himself again to be in the company of other people's children.
Many of the public figures against whom allegations have been made were, after all, involved in a number of different charities which helped young people. Their efforts, too, have now been unfairly tainted by association. Others who did similar work with children are being looked at askance. What were they really up to? What was their true motivation?
The internet gossip-mongers claim to know the answer, which is - not to put too fine a point on it - that practically every male who ever appeared on our television screens from the 1960s onwards was a known paedophile whose crimes against children were facilitated and covered up by an equally perverted establishment. Each conviction, however questionable, only bolsters the new orthodoxy: they were all at it. And anyone who refuses to believe that child abuse was being organised at the highest levels of society to the extent that is now being claimed is either in denial or in on the conspiracy. A useful idiot, or another monster. Damned either way.
That same question, then. Why would any man in future allow himself to ever be left alone with children who are not his own? It's not worth the risk. It's asking for trouble. Stay away from them. Actively push them away. Resolve to exist in entirely separate worlds from those inhabited by children. That's the only advice which makes sense in the present climate, especially when, if any allegations do emerge against them - as they have against Cliff Richard - their identities are liable to be plastered across the media before the truth of the charges is properly ascertained. And the reporters and TV cameras will be camped outside their doors as the 'No Smoke Without Fire' brigade smirk and tell sick jokes and say: 'See? Told you we were right'.
That's what happened to teaching. Male primary school teachers are now rarer than Labour voters, as men collectively desert the profession, partly in response to the suspicion which now attaches itself to any man who chooses to spend his time with young people.
What befell teaching could easily happen in other areas of public life too. Social workers, charity workers, youth workers, those involved in voluntary sporting organisations - all have had the finger of doubt pointed at them in recent times. Increasingly, it's only natural that men will retreat from these areas in terror at being caught up in a climate of mass mistrust of their real motives. If that happens, it will undoubtedly be to society's detriment, reversing decades of progress in which men have been actively encouraged to stop leaving the care of children in the hands of women and instead to take equal responsibility for raising the next generation.
More fatherless boys raised without positive male role models in their lives. Terrific. Not.
But men in the public eye could hardly be blamed for turning down invitations to charity projects involving children, or for hurriedly deleting emails from young people seeking help or advice before the temptation to do the right thing leads them into potential trouble down the line.
It's even been observed that many sports coaches now working with young people would rather yell at them when they do wrong than hug them when they need comfort, because doing the latter is far too dangerous.
In one case, a football coach was investigated after a girl ran and embraced him in celebration after she scored a goal. A study by Manchester Metropolitan University recently found that many coaches are afraid of breaking the "no touch" rule, even when they think children may be in danger, and that this climate of fear was affecting efforts to widen participation in sport.
People will say: if you have nothing to hide, then you have nothing to fear. That's not really how it works. Men with nothing to hide have plenty to fear if their innocent actions are liable to be misinterpreted in the worst possible light by a society that has decided that men, as a whole, are not to be trusted around children.
Yet, most of the men that most of us know continue to be entirely loving and trustworthy individuals, whose contribution to the existences of the children around them is overwhelmingly positive. Sadly, when lived experience meets ingrained prejudice, it's the preconceived presumptions which all too often win out.

Laurier Studies in Political Philosophy Series
Global migration, MTV, transnational capital, and colonialism have given birth to a new and smaller world. To a greater degree than at any other time in remembered history, different cultures are brought together to live side by side. This close proximity has brought new mixtures and exciting possibilitiesand also new struggles and conflicts. From many quarters comes an urgent call to build a sense of political belonging and unity in a diversity of voices. The call to unity is not, however, for uniformity or hegemony in one particular way of life. The unity to whichwerefer requires a rethinking and reconceptualization of existing philosophical paradigms that guide our relationships with others. In the spirit of intercultural dialogue, our Laurier Studies in Political Philosophy series is dedicated to exploring key challenges to our changing world and its needs. We are particularly interested in submissions that challenge dominant existing frameworks and approaches. We invite submissions in areas including Multicultural Theory, Aboriginal Studies and Philosophy, Post-colonialism, Globalization, Critical Race Theory, Feminism, and Human Rights Philosophy.

New Orleans Video Portrait: Rashida Ferdinand
New Orleans Video Portrait: Rashida Ferdinand
Rashida Ferdinand
Rashida Ferdinand is coming home-to the banks of the Mississippi that flows by her house, breathing life in to her home, connecting with it. When describing the blessing of being on the river and its energy, Rashida's voice soars and her gestures and body become that of a dancer. She sways and swirls, celebrating her beloved neighbor.
A self described "local girl," a 4th-generation inhabitant of the Lower Ninth Ward, Rashida is coming home, not only to her shotgun house, but to be a part of her beloved neighborhood. Where else would her sweet neighbor remind her when her grass gets a little too high? Where else would she be able to stroll from her workshop in the backyard to sit on her front stoop, gazing at the Mississippi and order up a Sno-ball from the Sno-ball lady parked at her curb. Why would you ever leave?

An Empirical Study of Associate Satisfaction, Law Firm Culture, and the Effects of Billable Hour Requirements
Susan Saab Fortney
Texas A&M University School of Law
December 1, 2001
Texas Bar Journal, December 2001
This article considers billing practices, the effects of hourly billing pressure, and firm culture as reflected in a survey of associates in Texas law firms. Part I of this article reports the empirical information from the survey. This information includes insight into the toll an increase in billable hour requirements has taken on legal practitioners and the consequent affect on the legal field. Part II discusses what the data means and how it might be used to improve the outlook for attracting and retaining good associates.

GOP House targets health care law; 67 Dems join in
WASHINGTON -- The Republican-led House voted overwhelmingly Friday to bolt new security requirements onto President Barack Obama's health-care law, with 67 Democrats breaking ranks to join with the GOP. It was the first skirmish of what is certain to be a long and contentious election-year fight.
The vote was 291-122 with Republicans relentlessly focusing on Obama care, convinced that Americans' unease with the troubled law will translate into significant election gains in November. Dozens of Democrats, nervous about their re-election chances or their campaigns for other offices, voted for the GOP bill.
Among the Democrats joining the Republicans was Rep. Steve Israel, of New York, the chairman of his party's campaign committee dedicated to electing Democrats.
"I voted for this bill because I want to make sure confidential information is protected. That's just common sense," Israel said in a statement. "This is an added consumer safeguard on top of the many consumer protections in the law that already exist."
The bill would require the secretary of health and human services to notify an individual within two business days of any security breach involving personal data provided to the government through HealthCare.gov.
The White House called it unnecessary and costly.

Nothing Beats Immunoassays for Sensitivity, Specificity,...
Beware of Obstructions in the Upstream...
Adapting to Evolving Business Environments Is...
Quadruple Helices Appear To Have Role...
Current industry biofuel production goals for reducing the carbon footprint envision a 20% reduction in CO2 from ethanol facilities, a 50% reduction for advanced biofuels, and an 80% reduction for cellulosic biofuels.
Aristides Patrinos, Ph.D., president of Synthetic Genomics, stated that current energy-related carbon emissions total eight billion tons per year, about half of which remains in the atmosphere contributing to increasing greenhouse gas concentrations.
Achieving zero net carbon emissions is possible, even with continued burning of fossil fuels, said Dr. Patrinos, but only with the development of advanced biofuel production processes, and carbon capture and disposal or recycling technologies. The concurrent development of hydrogen fuels and alternative biological energy sources will help reduce carbon emissions and greenhouse gas concentrations.
Dr. Patrinos highlighted advances in genomics, structural biology, pathway analysis, and systems biology as driving forces in the move toward molecule-based cell simulation. He described ongoing work at The J. Craig Venter Institute to produce artificial chromosomes and achieve genome transplantation as stepping stones toward the propagation of synthetic genomes.
This achievement will allow scientists to not only read, but also write, genetic code. Dr. Patrinos described a strategy of producing cassette-based combinatorial genomes at a scale of thousands to millions of genomes per day. These would then be screened for their ability to produce compounds that could be used as substitutes for petrochemicals and as designer fuels with advantageous properties. Synthetic genomics may yield microorganisms with novel capabilities, photosynthetic organisms able to generate valuable products directly from CO2, biological systems that increase recovery rates of subsurface hydrocarbons, or advanced plant feedstocks.
Dr. Patrinos revealed that Synthetic Genomics plans to demonstrate proof-of-principle for the creation of a synthetic genome within the next few months.
Badal Saha, lead scientist at the fermentation biotechnology research unit of the USDA's Agricultural Research Service (ARS), began his talk with a status report on the fuel ethanol industry. He described the production of ethanol from corn as a mature technology, with U.S. ethanol production reaching nine billion gallons, or about 4.2% of gasoline usage in 2008.
Almost all of this derives from corn, with one bushel of corn yielding about 2.7 gallons of ethanol and about 28% of the U.S. corn crop going toward ethanol production. Even if all the corn grain available were converted to ethanol, however, it would meet only 15–18% of current transportation fuel needs.
Alternative feedstocks are needed to boost ethanol production, Saha said, and the 1.3 billion tons of biomass available in the U.S. would be sufficient to produce the total amount of oil the country imports each year. Advanced biofuels can be derived from lignocellulosic feedstocks, such as agricultural waste (e.g., corn stover, wheat straw, rice hulls), agricultural processing byproducts (e.g., corn fiber or sugar cane bagasse), forestry and wood processing waste, the paper portion of municipal solid waste, or dedicated energy crops such as switchgrass. The main challenge in converting lignocellulosic biomass to biofuel is breaking down the cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin components to their basic sugars.
A variety of pretreatment strategies have been devised, some of which can disrupt the lignin structure and solubilize the cell wall. Saha described a method of extracting sugar from hemicellulose, which comprises 35% of corn fiber and is made up of 70% carbohydrates.
In this method, pretreatment of corn fiber in a dilute acid solution at moderate temperature is followed by enzymatic saccharification of cellulose, yielding up to 100% of the sugar content of the hemicellulose without generating fermentation inhibitors. With this strategy, saccharification and fermentation are combined in a single process. Saha described similar success applying this strategy to other feedstocks including wheat straw, barley straw, and rice hulls. Technological challenges remain, such as the need for more efficient enzymes for saccharification, new microbes that can ferment multiple sugars, better integration of process steps, and improved methods for recovery of dilute ethanol.
Stephen Hughes, Ph.D., research molecular biologist at the USDA-ARS, described an automated process for high-throughput transformation (with bacterial xylose isomerase and xylose kinase genes), mutagenesis, and screening of yeast to select for fast-growing strains optimized for anaerobic growth on xylose.
A key advantage of using yeast for cellulosic ethanol production is their ability to work over a broad temperature (<44oC) and pH (3.0–8.0) range to produce large amounts of sugar. GMAX-L is a genetically engineered yeast strain able to convert both xylose and glucose to ethanol. It produces 10–15% more ethanol than a strain that utilizes glucose alone.
Dr. Hughes also reported ongoing work to achieve stable expression of a biocatalyst in yeast, which enables the fungi to produce biodiesel after ethanol production has completed. "Ethanol alone is not profitable; valuable coproducts will make biorefineries sustainable," he concluded, explaining that advanced biorefineries would be able to use engineered yeast such as GMAX for simultaneous production of ethanol, alternative biofuels, plastics, chemicals, and animal feed.
Algae is a viable feedstock for first-generation biodiesel and ethanol production plants, and is a promising resource for producing aviation fuels and biocrude for biogasoline, said Will Thurmond, president of Emerging Markets Online.
"The U.S. and Europe cannot produce enough plant feedstocks to meet targets" for biofuel production—even with cellulosic corn—as defined by government mandates, which are largely being driven by a growing demand for energy independence and national security concerns, said Thurmond.
