Lights, Camera, FashionThe New York Fashion Film Festival unspools in Chelsea.
Irreverence, fantasy, and an electrifying bass reverberated at the 5th annual New York Fashion Film Festival last week in New York's Chelsea neighborhood. Filmmakers, photographers and the fashion crowd packed the SVA Theater, and our own Saks Fifth Avenue editors sat front and center.
Co-founded by photographer Bon Duke, he says the festival began "out of pure will to expose what was out there and show them on a big screen compared to a small device." This year's edition screened 16 films, followed by fashion stalwart and iconic editor/writer Glenn O'Brien's panel discussion about whether the showcased works were, in his words, "really films or merely screen-savers".
On the eve of New York Fashion Week, veteran fashion consultant Julie Gilhart deliberated on the intense and fast impressions the films make: "We all see so many runway shows, and when it's over, it's over. [Fashion Week] is a grueling schedule. I'd rather watch a film."
So what were the panelists' favorites? Steven Meisel's Show Girl, featuring an anti-fashion burlesque dancer, proved to be O'Brien's, while Gilhart's pick was Pierre Debusschere's abstract Holy Flowers – Fade Into You. Photographer Cass Bird endorsed Habib Yazdi's Somewhere in America and Matt Lambert's The London Collections for their documentary-like portrayals of fashion in "real life", and Sylvain Labs founder Alain Sylvain, sheepishly smiled and professed to "enjoy the hip hop."
Four panelists, each with their own favorites. Go figure: in fashion, film, and fashion films, everyone has a feeling, but no one has a magic formula.

Family History Month: Keeping up the good work!
Most genealogists have received help during their genea-journeys.
Perhaps that help came from a family member, another researcher of the same name or place, an archivist or a librarian with a family history interest. No matter the source, it is always good to receive assistance.
Family History Month is celebrated during October and, although it has just ended officially, here are some thoughts on how genealogists can provide help to others all year long.
As researchers, I believe we also have an obligation to pass that help along. Can we assist a genealogy society member with a sticky problem to which we may have a solution? Have we helped a young member of our family with a school project? Have we made an effort to appreciate those who have assisted us?
I was quite busy during October. My genealogy activities included writing posts for our MyHeritage Blog, genealogy society meetings, answering emailed questions about my areas of expertise (Spain and Belarus), and assisting others hoping for answers to questions about international archives and locating researchers to find records.
However, my most rewarding time last month was volunteering at a local rehabilitation center/nursing home.
I spend many hours visiting a relative there, and the activity director heard me discussing family history with another resident's family. She asked if I'd like to do something with the residents. Now, I meet with an increasingly active small group of residents every week.
We decided on a format where we'd focus on one subject at each meeting. Our first was remembering our first day at school. The second was about our favorite foods, and the most recent was our childhood best friends. At the first meeting, I handed out simple family trees to the group and asked them to complete and return them. Several residents have returned them, and they will be framed to hang in their rooms.
Some residents are in for short-term therapy following an operation, some have cognitive deficits or Alzheimer's, while others are simply elderly, in their late 80s and 90s. A mixed group, to be sure, and I wasn't sure who would talk, who would just listen. We did know, however, that some wouldn't remember what they had for lunch that day, but would likely have clear memories of their early life.
One woman, who had not communicated with anyone, has been able to discuss her childhood and family. This was the most surprising as she sat next to me at last week's session, when her usual place was on the other side of the room, near the door.
During the first class only three people really participated with their own family memories. More spoke up during the second class and, at this week's class, even more were very vocal.
Group members mentioned to the activity director how much they liked the class and looked forward to each meeting. When I walk through the dining room, my students say hello or wave.
The activity director mentioned that she was really surprised to see some residents, who rarely communicated, actively recalling memories of their childhood and families.
Giving back – with our individual knowledge – is a great feeling! Residents' family members have stopped to say how much their relatives enjoy the sessions. Even better, one resident's daughter stopped by to talk about the book she wrote about her own family history and had privately printed for her family.
Look around your own community. Is there an opportunity at a community center, senior center, nursing home, for you to volunteer for an hour a week to use your knowledge and make a difference in the lives of others? Go talk to the activity director and ask!
Do you already help out in such a program? Have you done so in the past? What topics did you cover? Let us know in the comments below.
Search for your ancestors:
- Yes we do have an obligation to thank others who have helped us on our genealogical journey and to pass it on. Yes for those with alzeimers or those who lose their memory as they grow older, talking with them on their childhood or looking at photos of their earlier years can bring many moments of joy and talk. We found putting together a slide show of early photos was great for our "olds". One of the best activities done in our local home for aged care was putting together a small booklet for each resident called " this is your life". It involved family members of the home resident, community and local schools. The culmination was an open day which also ended with a shared meal with all.
- Anne, thank you for your response. What an excellent project idea!

Red Velvet Cupcake Roses
I love red velvet cupcakes. Last year I decided to make red velvet cupcakes in my Nordic ware Rose Muffin Pan. They came out really pretty. Since I don't like frosting on my cupcakes, putting them in these molds helps keep a pretty presentation without frosting.
For people who like frosting, I think you can pipe some frosting into the bottom and inside of the cupcakes.
I've been on the search for a perfect red velvet cupcake recipe. So far all the recipes I've tried have fallen short. The other day I was shopping at William Sonoma and noticed that they were selling a Sprinkles cupcake mix.
I've been wary of trying mixes by famous bakeries, but I've been wanting to try Sprinkles cupcakes forever. Last summer, I learned that they are opening on in San Diego. Since then I've been practically stalking the progress. On an impulse, I decided to buy the mix for my red velvet cupcake roses.
These cupcakes were delicious! They were definitely my favorite red velvet ones I've made. The mix cost $14 which is pretty steep for a mix. On the other hand, Spinkles cupcakes are priced at $3-4 each, so I guess if you think of it that way, it is a bargain. It's hard for me to describe all the flavors I look for in a red velvet cake, but all of them were present in these. The only one tiny criticism I had for these cupcakes is that the red coloring they used seemed to stain everything they touched.
I guess this doesn't really solve my problem on finding the perfect red velvet cupcakes recipe since I don't know Sprinkles' recipe, but at least I've finally found a delicious red velvet cupcakes that I can make.

good to know that the sprinkles mix comes out good! i haven't tried any of their mixes yet
These roses look so pretty.I m a big fan of red velvet.Would love to buy that rose pan..search starts today..Thanks for Sharing
I have a sprinkles mix at home that I got as a gift a while back… I haven't used it yet though. I have a nordicware pan like this one, but it makes different shaped flowers. I'll make them on friday for christmas! thanks for reminding me to use my sprinkles mix… it's been taking up space in my cupboard.
I live in Sprinkles land (not good for a cupcake addict that gains weight easily), and they are delish, however the best red velvet cake recipe in my humble opinion is the Waldorf Red cake recipe. http://jewelsfromtherovingstove.blogspot.com/2009/05/how-to-have-your-cake-eat-it-too-i-hit.html
You are early for Valentine's Day! They look very pretty.
Those are so pretty, Kirbie! I think I'll make those for my MIL's birthday next month since she loves red, roses and red velvet cake. I've tried several RV recipes, even the original Waldorf-Astoria (and versions of it) but I still keep going back to my version (adapted from Emeril Lagasse's "Sylvia" cake) that uses all butter.
Oops, I screwed up the link to the recipe: http://www.cabcooks.com/2008/11/16/red-velvet-cake/
These are gorgeous. No need for icing at all.

Using Plenary Power as a Sword: Tribal Civil Regulatory Jurisdiction under the Clean Water Act after United States v. Lara
Ann E. Tweedy
Hamline University School of Law
March 5, 2005
Environmental Law, Vol. 35, p. 471, 2005
This essay examines the implications of the Supreme Court's decision in United States v. Lara for tribes seeking Treatment-as-State (TAS) status under the Clean Water Act (CWA). It concludes that, because the CWA recognizes and affirms tribal sovereignty over water quality, the CWA should be read, under Lara, to legislatively restore tribal sovereignty over water quality. First, this article delineates the pre-Lara requirements, for TAS status and examines the interpretation adopted by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) of the CWA's TAS provisions. Second, the article explains (1) Lara, (2) its implications, and (3) the context of prior Supreme Court cases on tribal sovereignty. Finally, this essay argues that the CWA's plain language, its legislative history, and its other provisions support a reading of the Act as restoring tribal sovereignty in the context of water quality.

Just the sound of that one drawn out word was enough to remind listeners that the work week was almost over and the relaxation was soon to begin. Today, we revive that tradition here at Pacific Northwest News, where we do the work mining the region's newspapers, television websites, cable networks, and blogs for Northwest news you won't want to miss.
Then we pluck stories we think you'll find compelling, post snippets below and provide links to the full versions. Your job is easy: click, read and come back to share your thoughts. Use your inside voices when you comment here on OregonLive.
Our first story came as a surprise when it broke Thursday night in Medford. Authorities charged Jordan Adam Criado, a 51-year-old sex offender, with stabbing his wife and four young children before setting their house on fire last month. Like many other news agencies, the Medford Mail Tribune was keeping track of Criado's condition at a local hospital:
Criado's release from the hospital came as a surprise to many watching the case. He was initially listed in critical condition by hospital officials who said he was non-responsive and breathing with the help of a ventilator in the days after the fire at the family home at 1027 10th St. Beginning last Thursday, however, hospital officials declined to release updates on Criado's condition, citing the ongoing police investigation and privacy laws.
Medford Police Chief Tim George said Criado's medical condition changed over the past week. Police officers have been stationed at Criado's room around the clock since he was hospitalized, he said.
"He showed a marked improvement," said George, adding Criado was conscious and alert at the time he was released from the hospital by doctors.Now lodged into Jackson County jail without bail, Criado faces 23 counts of aggravated murder, a potential death penalty offense if convicted, plus four counts each of murder, first-degree manslaughter and first-degree arson.
Criado is set to be arraigned on all 36 Measure 11 charges at 1:45 p.m. today. A grand jury is expected to hear the case next week. Stay tuned.
Our next story comes from the U.S.-Canadian border, where a Lynden, Wash. man who pointed a spotlight into the cockpit of a low-flying border patrol helicopter was sentenced this week to about two months in jail and a fine of $5,000.
The Province of Vancouver, B.C., reports on the latest chapter in the saga of 42-year-old Wayne Groen:
Groen's actions in Sept. 2010, had blinded the pilot of the helicopter, who was wearing night goggles, forcing him to veer into Canadian airspace near Abbotsford's airport.
He was convicted of temporarily incapacitating the pilot in the authorized operation of his aircraft.
At Thursday's sentencing in U.S. District Court in Seattle, Judge Thomas S. Zilly described Groen's actions as "stupid."
"We're all lucky that you are standing here convicted of a charge, and that the helicopter did not crash," said Zilly.
On that note, we bring you two random things to leave a wondering smile on your face. This is the first one, and this here is the very cool second.
Enjoy the weekend.

RELEASE: Infographic Debunks Misleading Claim that the Affordable Care Act Harms Young Adults
Contact: Katie Peters
Phone: 202.741.6285
Email: firstname.lastname@example.com
Washington, D.C. — A new infographic series released by Campus Progress and the Center for American Progress today illustrates that only 3 percent of all young adults could face higher premiums in the Affordable Care Act's individual market, according to CAP's conservative estimates. The infographic also shows why it is unreasonable to compare today's prices to those in the new marketplaces, which provide far greater benefits and security. It also illustrates that the real threat to young-adult access to affordable health-insurance coverage is not possible premium increases but the shortsighted decision by a significant number of states to reject the law's Medicaid expansion.
"Young adults should ignore the overblown warnings about increased health-insurance premiums. The sky is not falling. The Affordable Care Act actually lowers health care costs for the vast majority of young adults," said Maura Calsyn, Associate Director of Health Policy at the Center for American Progress. "Focusing exclusively on the cost of premiums is disingenuous; premiums are just one health care expense. Even healthy young adults who will pay a bit more upfront will see greatly improved coverage and financial protections."
"Young Americans are among those the Affordable Care Act has helped the most, with 3.4 million young adults gaining access to health insurance, a 10 percent jump in just two years," said Anne Johnson, Director of Campus Progress. "By expanding coverage to Millennials, the Affordable Care Act is allowing young people and college graduates to focus on building successful careers and contributing to the economy instead of worrying about health insurance. The most important thing now is to continue that progress."
Download and share individual parts of this infographic:
- There's a scare campaign underway, but it's misleading and overblown.
- It's not just about premiums—you'll have far greater benefits and security.
- The real threat is if states reject Medicaid expansion.
- So what's next?

EDINBURGH-BORN Ainslie Henderson may have become a household name overnight when he battled his way through to the last four of Fame Academy in 2002.
But the popular reality TV show and subsequent arena tour also robbed him of his desire to perform for the best part of three years.
Indeed, in an interview at the start of 2003 Henderson, then 24 years old, admitted that he wished he had found fame through another route, despite landing a 250,000 recording deal with Mercury Records and seeing his debut single Keep Me A Secret rise to No 5 in the charts.
Today, however, having laid the ghost of Fame Academy to rest, the 28-year-old, who recently released his first album Growing Flowers By Candlelight, is back and ready to introduce audiences to the real Ainslie Henderson.
"I can divide my life into Before Fame Academy and After Fame Academy because the experience turned my life on its head," he reflects candidly, ahead of two forthcoming Edinburgh gigs - the first at the Bongo Club, Holyrood Road on Wednes-day with a six-piece band; the second, a more intimate acoustic set at Beanscene Haymarket on April 4.
"Doing Fame Academy was really destructive actually, because I felt like I had cheated and that I was being given praise that I hadn't earned. I felt like I had taken a shortcut and that I was going to be found out for it. And I think I probably sabotaged myself because of that.
"I hid away and was embarrassed by recognition. I didn't want to play shows. For three years after Fame Academy I wouldn't sing onstage because I just couldn't reconcile myself with that 'Ainslie from Fame Academy'. "
The singer's story starts in Edinburgh on January 29, 1979. Although he was born in the city, Henderson was brought up first in Falkirk, where he lived until the age of three and then in Manchester, before his family settled in the Borders' village of Denholm when he was seven.
But it was back in the Capital at the age of 17 that he first made his mark on the music world in a band called Suburbia, a band with which he secured his first record deal, long before the birth of reality TV.
"The first time I lived in Edinburgh I was 17 and had just left home. Living in the Borders, a move to the big city was the natural thing to do. I was in a band at the time and we had decided it was time to try to get gigs outwith the Borders. I stayed in Haymarket and we gigged at places like the Cas Rock, the Attic and the Venue."
Indeed, it was while playing Edinburgh's rock venues that Henderson's band landed the biggest gig of their young career, appearing as the houseband on a new BBC show.
"Digital TV was just being launched," he recalls. "There was a magazine show on BBC Digital - now BBC3 - on Sundays, which was looking for a houseband. We went for it and got it and had to go to London every weekend for six months to play one of our own songs and a cover."
Just as Suburbia began to make a name for itself, however, internal friction caused it to implode.
"It was really exciting the way the band broke up," says Henderson, as he relates what happened.
"Capital Records got hold of one of our demos and they loved it. So they took us to LA for six weeks to record three tracks. By that point we had been together about three years. We were young and hungry and arrogant and had come to start hating each other.
"There was already a lot of awkward politics going on and as soon as there was that sort of record company interest in us, it just exposed all the things that we were finding difficult."
It was the first case of 'so near, yet so far' for Henderson, whose love of performing developed in his early teens.
"Like all families, people would get together at family gatherings, get drunk and sing," he recalls. "My grandad would sing old war songs and as soon as I started playing guitar at 14, he'd get me to play along.
"Then at High School I took part in school plays. I remember doing Tom Sawyer when I was about 15 and being excited by the sense of being on stage and performing for an audience - that was something that was a real revelation for me. It was like nothing else I'd experienced before."
It was around that time that Henderson also made his debut as a vocalist, fronting the school's guitar group.
"The guitar group had to play Wonderful Tonight and the teacher said, 'It's great having six guitarists playing together but if only we had some-one to sing the song too'. So I shyly ambled forward and said I would do it - that was probably the first time I sang in public," he muses.
In his own words, Henderson had been "caught by the performing bug" by the time he moved to Edinburgh and it was still with him on his return from LA, when he moved to London where he lived for two years before his girlfriend of the time submitted a tape of him to the producers of Fame Academy.
Even then, Henderson admits he was unsure about whether the show was the right vehicle for him. Suburbia had boasted an edgy sound - "I was obsessed listening to Manson and The Smiths. It had a lot of Radiohead about it, that whole Brit-pop thing," he says - whereas Fame Academy was about producing bubble-gum pop.
"I was conscious that Fame Academy was very different to what I had been doing and I remember going into the auditions with a real reluctance.
"I think they actually picked up on that and that was why I got in," he recalls. "I have different ideas about what is creditable now than I did then. Then I had this illusion that there were real artists and there were pop artists. I'm not so convinced by that any more.
"Initially Fame Academy was advertised as a show that was going to be about singers and songwriters. You were going to be given the chance to write your own songs, then perform them on television and there was going to be a studio in the Academy.
"I had this idea that I could just be in the house recording music, and that it would be a real genuine reflection of how an artist makes a record and writes a song, although I knew that it would have a pop angle as well.
"I can't pretend that I was fooled into doing it, but it was so totally different to everything I'd done before that I remember feeling out of place and quite liking that feeling."
The series was to have a lasting effect on Henderson, whose main concern post-Academy was how he would regain his credibility.
"All the time I was second -guessing people's reactions. Trying to imagine how things would be perceived and how I could get rid of the label 'Ainslie From Fame Academy'," he admits.
"That wasn't good. Now I realise that as a singer, songwriter and a performer, all I have to do is make the best music I can and perform it the best I can. I don't have to worry about other people's preconceptions of me."
Although he believes that label is still a weight around his neck he also understands that "equally it opens doors" for him.
"I suppose eventually I forgave myself for having done it," he says. "It has all started to fall into perspective now.
"When Fame Academy happened it felt like this huge, huge thing. Then, as I got a bit of distance I realised that it was no bigger than one of mates getting a new job would have been to them.
"Everybody has their own dramas and I now realise it was what it was and that it was a lot of fun - although I'd never do another reality TV show."
Returning to Edinburgh just over two years ago gave him that distance, and having "fought and struggled" to make it in London he suddenly realised that he had enough songs for an album.
Released on his own label Amphibian Husbandry, Growing Flowers By Candlelight has finally allowed him to leave his TV persona behind, something that is also reflected in his new image, which sees him bare-chested and vulnerable on his website www.ainslie music.com.
"Making the album was the turning point because now Growing Flowers By Candlelight is the last thing I did, not Fame Academy, and I'm proud of it."
As for the new look, he explains: "The show created this persona for me, the shiny Ainslie From Fame Academy - that guy who I felt so distanced from.
"I felt like I didn't know that guy, and that people had no idea who I really was, so I wanted to do something that was completely open and vulnerable. I didn't want to conceal myself.
"That's also why I like writing diary entries and blogs. I like speaking directly to people in an open and honest way. I want to carry on sharing myself, which for me is what making music and making art is all about."

In a year of bank bailouts, tanking auto giants, and the collapse of many smaller—but well-loved—businesses (Mervyn's, Eddie Bauer), the few bright spots stood out even more. Not coincidentally, the businesses causing the biggest online clamor were all about improving communication. Think Twitter, Facebook, and LinkedIn (a timely resource for the unemployed masses). Tech toys made the list, too, as did language-learning software and shops designed to help consumers stretch a dollar. Read on for the whole scoop.
Friending is free, but a Russian firm got a whole lotta Facebook love when it invested $200 million in the social networking site this year. Even bad news—phishing attacks, being blocked by the Chinese government, and a less-than-flattering depiction of its founder—did not slow Facebook's growth (now valued at $10 billion, with 300 million users).
The website's busy year included partnering with Microsoft and Nintendo and acquiring startup FriendFeed, but its biggest accomplishment was turning a profit for the first time in its six-year existence. While some question Facebook's future, small-business marketers love it. So does Hollywood. Coming soon to a theater near you: "Facebook: The Movie." —MM
This year's social-media sweetheart made a splash (literally) when a Twitter user posted the first photo of the US Airways Flight 1549 evacuation in the Hudson River. A few months later, even more folks were introduced to the microblogging service when actor Ashton Kutcher challenged CNN to see who could get more Twitter followers.
The company made headlines all year long, thanks to account hijackers, tweeting astronauts, White House updates, Iranian election protesters, overly revealing politicians, and Balloon Boy. "Daily Show" host Jon Stewart and Doonesbury creator Gary Trudeau turned Twitter's ubiquity into parodies that begged the question many had begun to ask themselves: Were all five billion of those tweets really necessary? —MM
Hulu's "evil plot to take over the world" seems to be going smoothly. So how exactly is the video site luring TV viewers from their sets and getting some to cancel their cable service altogether? One word: free. Hulu's ad-funded business model and growing number of content providers means free TV shows and movies for its audience, and its user-friendly interface has made the site stand out among its competitors.
So when a stakeholder said that Hulu would probably start charging users by 2010, a ruckus predictably ensued. Hulu has since qualified that statement, although its "capitalist" CEO said he's "very bullish about the future of Hulu." Our advice? Watch all the free "Family Guy" while you can! —MM
Bing, Microsoft's new search engine (or "decision engine," as the company calls it), launched in June to much marketing fanfare. TV viewers chuckled knowingly at its commercials, featuring poor souls suffering from "Search Overload Syndrome," an affliction that Bing would undoubtedly cure them of.
But clever commercials aside, are people actually using Bing? Yes—9.4% of people, in fact. And once Yahoo!'s search pages are "powered by Bing" (thanks to a deal inked in July), that figure might increase to 28%. And just why was the name "Bing" chosen? According to CEO Steve Ballmer, because it can "verb up." So will "just Bing it" become a household phrase like "just Google it"? Only time will tell. —MM
Last January, Apple followers and investors were shaken when CEO Steve Jobs, a pancreatic cancer survivor, announced that he was going on a six-month medical leave due to health problems "more complex" than originally thought. Some wondered if he would ever return, and how his absence would impact the once-struggling company that he revived with innovative products like the iPhone.
But return he did, and this time with a new liver. And during Jobs' absence, the iPhone line got its own new additions: OS 3.0 and the 3GS model. With 6.4 million active users, the iPhone certainly has no shortage of fans—or fan-created apps. But with the recent release of Google's Android 2.0 OS, some wonder if the iPhone has finally met its match. —MM
Pink slip? Get LinkedIn. In a down economy, the "grown-up" social networking site ballooned to 50 million members (someone joins every second, including ex-Alaska governor Sarah Palin) in more than 200 countries. It's also worth a cool billion, give or take. Since its '03 launch, LinkedIn has built its ranks more slowly than Facebook or Twitter, but it has one thing the trendier sites can't claim: profits.
The career-minded site has been thriving on the recession by embracing the newly jobless masses and connecting them with people who can hire them (executives from every Fortune 500 company are on LinkedIn). Shrewd moves like recent linkups with BlackBerry, Microsoft, and Twitter keep the company looking forward as the economy starts to brighten. —AWD
No shocker that the recession has been good to the humble dollar store. Market-watchers noticed the trend early in the year when shares of Family Dollar—one of three national chains—surged 14% after reporting better-than-expected earnings.
In fact, all three major dollar chains bloomed in the economy's arid soil this year, not only by selling the cheap goods they're known for, but by changing with the times: accepting credit cards, adding food items like eggs and milk, and, in an effort to reach out to their loyal customer base, honoring food stamps. Can the trend last as the economy recovers? With many consumers claiming that the hard times have changed their spending habits for good, it doesn't look like dollar stores will be going away anytime soon. —AWD
Palm once ruled the handheld universe. To revive its sagging image (not to mention its fortunes), the hardware company unveiled its much-hyped Pre smartphone in June at a consumer-friendly $199. The follow-up to Palm's successful Treo became a hopeful rival to the iPhone (one tech blogger even called it "St. Paul following the iPhone Jesus"). Despite much buzz and many glowing reviews, the Pre didn't touch Apple's market and now has fallen into third place behind Google's Android.
Still, the media frenzy surrounding the release gave the titan a much-needed boost. Besides, Palm modestly claims, it never really meant to take on the iPhone—probably a shrewd position, since, as the NYT puts it, "Palm is a mouse in a land of cellphone giants." —AWD
When shares of the language software company's stock shot up 40% in one of this year's most successful IPOs (yes, there were IPOs in '09), Wall Street took notice. Rosetta Stone's product is everywhere—from late-night infomercials to Barnes & Noble to malls.
But who exactly is paying $500 (the cost of a typical three-stage program) to learn Italian in this economy? Unemployed folks looking to add skills to their portfolio, for one. The U.S. government is another sweet source of revenue for the company, which uses a specialized program to teach soldiers military terms in Arabic. Can Rosetta's rosy glow last? Experts say not likely, since competition will probably level the playing field. But in 2009, success tasted molto dolce. —AWD
Despite Amazon's legal scandal involving copies of Orwell's "1984" being digitally snatched away, the Kindle is a 2009 success story. The February debut of the new and improved e-reader (the original Kindle came out in 2007) may have been met by skeptics, but the "early adopters" (i.e. college students and gadget-loving readers) snapped it up, and suddenly the sleek handhelds were popping up in dorms and on public transit everywhere.
Despite the fact that Kindle may (or may not) eventually replace "real" books, the public is warming up to reading on a screen (or on their iPhones), and media moguls are rushing in to set up competing e-readers to preserve their own digital publishing future. The biggest threat to the Kindle? Barnes & Nobles' new Nook. —AWD

"New pathways to knowledge: combining arts and social science research"
Panel Chairs: Julia Mourăo Permoser (email@example.com) and Florian Bettel (firstname.lastname@example.com)
In a time of crisis and anxiety, in which political topics become extremely emotionally laden, a cooperation between social sciences and the arts holds the promise of contributing new pathways to knowledge, helping us to tackle such important issues as the connection between rationality and emotion, symbolism and mobilization, politics and subjectivity. This panel invites papers that draw upon research conducted at the interface between the arts and social sciences. The panel is broadly designed and we welcome papers that refer to the cooperation between arts and social sciences in any variety of ways. We particularly welcome contributions from studies where social science and the arts are combined in the pursuit of new methodologies, as well as from studies that draw on artistic practices in order to disseminate knowledge. We also invite papers that link artistic research and social science research, be it with a theoretical or an empirical aim. Finally, we especially welcome papers based on research where the cooperation between the arts and sciences has a participatory aim, for example by involving the persons studied in the production of knowledge and/or in the artistic production.

With two communities still reeling from fatal car crashes over the weekend, the Ohio State Highway Patrol says laws are in place to prevent such injuries.
Three people were killed Sunday in Columbiana County, including an 11-year-old girl who police said was thrown from the rear cargo area of an SUV carrying two adults and seven children. Only three of the children were properly restrained, according to the patrol.
Addisyn Benzel, 11, was thrown from the cargo area of the vehicle after a driver of a car heading the other direction crossed over the center line on a roadway in Columbiana County, about 40 miles south of Youngstown, patrol Staff Lt. Anne Ralston said.
The driver of the SUV, 39-year-old James Nign, and his 27-year-old wife, Meghann Nign, were also killed in the accident around 11 a.m. Sunday. Six other children in the Chevy Equinox, including a 6-year-old sitting on Meghann Nign's lap, were taken to area hospitals, police said, but their conditions were unknown Monday night.
The Patrol said that none of the three who were killed were wearing seat belts. Three children, ages 9 months to 4 years old, were in child safety seats, but two other 11-year-old victims were not wearing seat belts.
"Without question, (wearing a seat belt) does cut down on the severity of the injuries ... it's been proven time and time again," said Sgt. Jeff Klem of the Warren post in Southington, who has been a trooper for 30 years.
"Even in just my personal experience, seeing the thousands of crashes that I have, seat belts definitely reduce the severity of the injuries and even death," he said.
In another fatal crash in West Virginia late Saturday, three high school students died in a head-on collision with a fire truck in Hancock County.
The accident resulted in the deaths of Kristyn Butcher, 16, of Newell, W.Va.; Kaylin Rice, 16, of Chester, W.Va.; and John Emmett Snow III, 16, of New Cumberland, W.Va.
The crash occurred at 9 p.m. Saturday near the Route 8 entrance to Tomlinson Run State Park, shortly after the New Manchester Volunteer Fire Department had received a report of a chimney fire, the sheriff's department said.
Butcher and Rice were pronounced dead at the scene, while Snow succumbed to his injuries after being transported to East Liverpool City Hospital.
Klem said the law restricting the number of non-family teen passengers for teen drivers younger than 17 is not new. The Graduated Driver Licensing Law, which went into effect on April 6, 2007, states that drivers younger than 17 are limited to only one teen passenger who is not a family member. They also are not permitted to drive between midnight and 6 a.m. without a parent, with the exception of work-related transportation.
For those age 17 and older, driving is not permitted between 1 and 5 a.m. without a parent, aside from the work exception.
Klem said the law is there to protect teens and their passengers as well as other drivers by limiting distractions.
"It cuts down on distracted driving; it helps the youthful driver focus more on the surroundings and also the operation of the vehicle," he said.
The patrol also utilizes Teen Driving Myths posters to educate youths about safe driving.
One common myth, according to patrol, is that it is safer to drive at night when there is less traffic.
"Fact: Four of every 10 deaths of teens in motor vehicles occur between 9 p.m. and 6 a.m.," a poster states, citing information from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
Another myth suggests teens are safer with more passengers because the others can help watch for traffic.
The fact, according to a poster: "Crash risk for teenage drivers increases significantly with one, two, or three or more passengers. With three or more passengers, a teen's fatal crash risk is about three times higher than when a beginner is driving alone."
Also, "The presence of passengers is a major factor in the teenage death toll. About two-thirds of all teen crash deaths that involve 16-year-old drivers occur when other teens are passengers."
One poster dispels the myth that traffic crashes are random incidents that can't be prevented.
"Specific behaviors are associated with teen traffic crashes. Inexperience combined with speed, alcohol and / or drug use, not wearing safety belts, distracted driving (cell phone use, loud music, other teen passengers, etc.), drowsy driving or night time driving contribute to the high percentage of teen crashes and preventable deaths," according to the patrol.
The division also stands by its more well-known fact that most crash deaths occur at speeds less than 40 miles per hour and within 25 miles of home.
The deadliest crash in Trumbull County's history occurred last March, when six Warren teens died in a crash in Howland Township after the vehicle crossed left of center and hit a guardrail, sending the vehicle airborne before it landed on its roof in the small, five-foot deep pond just north of Burton Street S.E.
All of the teens who died drowned in the small pond, according to the Trumbull County coroner. No one was wearing seat belts.
But despite last year's tragedy, traffic deaths around the state were at record lows last year, according to preliminary data released Jan. 1 by the patrol
The patrol encourages everyone, whether they be passenger or driver, young or old, to "Always buckle up."
The Associated Press contributed to this report.

What About Ethics & Morality?
No, quite the contrary.
At the heart of time-tested moral codes is the "golden rule": Treat others as you, yourself, would like to be treated. This principle will shine forth as I work with my thoughts.
In the interest of feeling good emotionally, I'm learning to choose thoughts of appreciation, not criticism. I'm learning to release resentment and to give the benefit of the doubt. I'm learning to look for the positive aspects of people in order to draw more of that from them. I'm learning to focus on abundance, not lack; on my innate security, not threat. I'm learning there are no bad people - only people who might play that role in my experience due to my own distorted thinking.
I'm changing my habits of thought in my own self-interest, but everyone with whom I interact stands to benefit. As I increasingly choose better-feeling thoughts, I'll be a better partner, parent, neighbor, and citizen.
As I practice choosing happier thoughts, I'll become the happy person I've always known I could be, and I'll begin to draw countless happy situations to me via Law of Attraction.
And joyful good things will spill over to others, everywhere I go.

Ofcom explains how Government funding package for wireless microphone users will work
05 August 2010
Ofcom today announced the details of how Government funding will be made available to the Programme Making and Special Events (PMSE) sector to support its migration from channel 69 to channel 38. This follows the Government's decision last month on the level and nature of this funding, which will contribute to the cost of modifying or purchasing equipment.
Wireless microphones and other wireless equipment that uses channel 69 are being cleared from this part of the 800 MHz band. Countries across Europe are clearing these airwaves to make way for new services like next-generation mobile broadband. Citizens and consumers in the UK stand to significantly benefit from this, especially those that live in the countryside, where the roll-out of broadband and mobile services has been more challenging.
In June last year Ofcom announced a replacement channel for those affected, called channel 38. This will be available to PMSE users on a UK-wide interference-free basis. Ofcom had previously proposed that PMSE users would have protected access to this channel until 2018; however it has since made a commitment to extend this period. And because it operates at lower frequencies, it may offer some benefits over channel 69. These include increased battery life and operational range for equipment.
Some equipment that currently operates in channel 69 can be modified to work in channel 38. Additionally, some equipment can be retuned, without modification, to spectrum called channel 70 that is shared with other users at no cost and without the need for a licence. This could be suitable for non-professional users, such as churches, pubs and community organisations.
However, most equipment will need to be replaced. And on 28 July 2010, the Government announced that it will be providing a contribution towards the cost of new equipment. This will mean those affected will receive roughly 55% of the cost of replacing their equipment.
The age of existing equipment will not change the amount of funding given out. Also, there will be a simpler process for small claims, for equipment with a total replacement value of under £6000. If equipment can be modified at no more than the amount that would have been paid as a contribution to the cost of replacement, the funding scheme will meet the full costs involved. People that are not VAT-registered will receive a 20% adjustment in funding to reflect that they are not able to offset or reclaim VAT on their purchases*.
The full statement published today by Ofcom gives more information on who is eligible for funding, how it will be calculated, and the process for making a claim.
Questions and answers
Who is eligible?
To be eligible for funding, users must have held a channel 69 licence on 2 February 2009 (when Ofcom gave notice that it planned to clear channel 69), or in the 12 months before this date. The only exception to this requirement is unlicensed hiring companies who can prove that they do not require a licence.
Eligible users will only be able to receive funding for working equipment that tunes to channel 69 but not channel 38 (before modification). They must have bought that equipment before 30 June 2009 (when Ofcom confirmed channel 38 as the replacement for channel 69).
How much money will people get?
The amount of funding people get will depend on the type of equipment they own, when they choose to process their claim, whether they surrender or modify their equipment and whether or not they are VAT-registered.
Eligible users who surrender their equipment will receive roughly 55% of the cost of the equivalent replacement. Funding will be slightly higher the earlier a claim is processed.
This amount is equal to the cost of the new equipment less the discounted remaining value of this equipment in 2018 - the year in which the user should have expected to replace equipment anyway.
What channels can people use in replacement of 69?PMSE users will have UK-wide primary access to channel 69 to at least 1 July 2012 and in London, Northern Ireland and the north-east of England (the Tyne Tees television region) to at least 1 October 2012. Some of the alternatives are:
- Channel 38: Channel 38 is the replacement channel that is being made available on a UK-wide basis. This channel is already usable - and used - by the PMSE sector. Shared licences are now available for channel 38 (alongside channel 69 and with frequencies from channels 39 and 40 included where channel 38 is not yet fully available). This allows most indoor users the flexibility to move around the whole of the UK with a single licence. There are, however, some minor restrictions on outdoor use in north west England and Cambridgeshire because of the need to protect radioastronomy use there. These will be removed in September 2011, when channel 38 will be available on a UK-wide basis both indoor and outdoor. Many PMSE users will therefore be able to move to channel 38 as soon as they have bought new equipment or modified their existing equipment. Others, especially those who operate outdoors in areas where capacity in channels 38 to 40 is significantly limited, may choose to wait until September 2011 when channel 38 becomes available on a UK-wide basis. A map in the funding statement shows that wireless microphone users should be able to deploy up to 7 microphones across the UK from September 2011.
- Channel 70: Some channel 69 equipment can be retuned to channel 70 (863-865 MHz) without modification. Channel 70 will continue to be available for wireless microphone use on a free and licence-exempt basis with no guaranteed protection from interference from services in the same or a nearby frequency. If PMSE users (especially non-professional and community) can operate in spectrum that does not always offer broadcast quality and need to use no more than three microphones at one time, they may want to move to channel 70. However Ofcom is currently looking at whether there will be an increased risk of harmful interference to wireless microphones using channel 70 when new mobile services rollout in the 800 MHz band. Ofcom will publish more information on this when this work is complete.
- Interleaved spectrum: Some users will need exclusive use of certain frequencies in particular places (for example, those recording sound for professional film or TV productions) and will therefore need to operate using co-ordinated licences. These users will be able to operate within interleaved spectrum - the frequencies available on a shared basis with terrestrial television - as co-ordinated licences will not be available for channel 38. Ofcom has made a provisional technical assessment of how much interleaved spectrum will be available for PMSE use post-DSO and is confident that this quantity will be sufficient to more than satisfy the peak PMSE demand that has been seen in the past. Ofcom will announce more details after it has finished international negotiations to clear the 800 MHz band later this year.
When will the funding scheme start?
First, users will need to register their claims through our appointed PMSE funding scheme administrator, Equiniti Ltd. Users will be asked to provide details of all the channel 69 equipment they own and want to claim for, whether they want to give it up or modify it, when they want the claim to be processed and in how many batches.
Registration will open on 23 September and close at the end of December 2010. The scheme administrator will be available to support PMSE users, through the dedicated website www.pmsefunding.co.uk, or on 0800 011 3617.
Users can visit the website now to find out about the scheme and review the rate card. The rate card shows how much funding is available for each item of relevant channel 69 equipment. PMSE users are invited to check the information included in the rate card and suggest factual corrections to the scheme administrator, but any factual corrections must be received by 2 September. Thereafter, Ofcom will review any suggested corrections and decide whether the rate card should be amended.
When the PMSE funding scheme administrator processes the claim it will check that it meets the criteria of the scheme and then pay out the funding. Users can ask that their claim is processed at any time between January 2011 and December 2012, and it can be done in batches if required. For example, a user may want to claim for half of their channel 69 equipment inventory in July 2011 and the other half in October 2012 after the London Olympics.
It is in users' interest to register. If they do not register, the claim cannot be processed. But registration does not mean the user has to accept any offer of funding or to give up their equipment unless they want to.
When can people expect to get the funding?
Ofcom expects to start paying out funding to those who are eligible from March 2011 onwards. * Ofcom will use the 20% VAT rate which will be introduced on 4 January 2011 as it expects to begin funding payments in March 2011.
- Ofcom is the independent regulator and competition authority for the UK communications industries, with responsibilities across television, radio, telecommunications and wireless communications services.

When Trent Cole arrived in Philadelphia, he was a fifth-round pick recovering from two bouts of pneumonia and felt decidedly out of place in a big city hundreds of miles removed from the rural stretches of Ohio where he spent his childhood hunting.
"When I first got here, I was like, 'Man, I don't know about this,' " Cole said. "I'm serious, I told 'em, 'Direct me to the woods.' "
Eight years later, Cole is one of the three longest-tenured Eagles and has established himself as one of the most prolific pass rushers in the NFL. He still has a noticeable drawl - when he says "woods" it sounds as if he's using four O's, not two - but South Jersey and Philadelphia have become home.

Scale weights of Darren Ventura's walnuts harvested this year confirmed what saw in his orchards in August – a decent, average-size crop.
The Stanislaus County, Calif. grower manages about 150 acres of walnut trees for Hudelson Company Hughson, Calif.
"It was a pretty good harvest for us and production reached our expectations for this year," he says. "Quality of the nuts, including size, was pretty average."
However, he was somewhat disappointed by his 65 acres of 35- to 40-year Hartleys. Yields there averaged about 1,550 pounds per acre. "I would like to have seen a little more," Ventura says. "But, for what it costs us to farm those really old trees, we still came out ahead."
He began his walnut harvest the first of October, starting with his Tulares, where yields were average, before moving onto the Hartleys. Ventura finished with Chandlers, the last of his three varieties, by the end of the month. His Chandlers produced closed to 6,500 pounds of nuts per acre. "That's not too bad for that block," he says.
The only wet weather during harvest was when Ventura was shaking the Chandlers. "We got about a tenth of inch of rain," he says. "But, the ground was so dry it soaked up the water really fast. We were able to get back into the fields within about six hours."
Ventura was able to keep his walnuts clean of any disease and insect damage this year with his normal spray programs – with one exception. That involved a 10-acre block where University of California researchers were experimenting with the use of a low-volume, high-pressure spray system to treat the trees with a bait and insecticide to protect against walnut husk fly.
"We had a spike in the husk fly population in early August and weren't able to control the insect before they had caused some damage," Ventura notes.
Ventura reports harvest prices for walnuts in his areas are ranging between $1.30 and $1.50, with Chandlers commanding the higher prices. He's pleased with those levels.
"Right now, tree nut farmers are doing okay," Ventura says. "I can't complain."
He'll end the season by feeding his trees muriate of potash in the last part of November. He'll band it on either side of the tree at 400 pounds per acre.

Walnutport will take legal action against the NIZ
Posted: 8:00 PM EDT May 23, 2012 Updated: 5:38 PM EDT May 24, 2012
Another Lehigh Valley municipality says it will challenge Allentown's Neighborhood Improvement Zone.
The Mayor of Walnutport says borough council has voted to take legal action against the NIZ -- which is the special tax zone that's helping to fund Allentown's hockey arena.
Three lawsuits have already been filed over the NIZ but it's not yet clear which one Walnutport would join.

Master Pages in ASP.NET
Master Pages in ASP.NET are files that have .master extensions. ASP.NET master pages allow us to create a consistent layout and look & feel for all the pages or a group of pages in web application. A page which uses a master page is known as the content page. We can then create individual content pages that contain the content what we want to display. A master page can contain one or more content pages.
This article takes a look at what master pages and content pages are and how we can work with them in ASP.NET.
What are Master Pages?
According to the MSDN, "ASP.NET master pages allow you to create a consistent layout for the pages in your application. A single master page defines the look and feel and standard behavior that you want for all of the pages (or a group of pages) in your application. You can then create individual content pages that contain the content you want to display. When users request the content pages, they merge with the master page to produce output that combines the layout of the master page with the content from the content page."
The basic differences between a master page and a normal .aspx page are:
User Controls Vs Master Pages
Master Pages are used in lieu of User controls when you need to provide a consistent look and feel of the pages in your application. If you use a User control to provide a consistent look and feel, you have to add it across all pages in your application. Moreover when using user controls, we can not visualize what the page looks like when we are creating it. You can only know the look and feel once the page is executed in the web browser. You can use a User control to create the login form of your application you typically want the login form to appear only once the application is executed.
Creating a Master Page
Here are the steps to create a master page in ASP.NET:
Code: ASP
Creating a Content Page
To create a content page, follow these steps:
Right click on the web application in the solution explorer and select Add->New Item
Now, link this content page to the master page you created earlier as shown below:
Click OK.
Here is how the markup code of the generated Content page looks like:
Code: ASP
Code: ASP
Note the MasterPageFile attribute in the content page. This attribute is used to provide a reference to the master page to which the content page refers. Further, there is no <form> or <html> tags in the content page unlike a typical .aspx page.
Sequence of Events in Master and Content Pages
When we are using both master and content pages together, the following is the sequence of the events that are fired for both:
Configuring a Master Page
You can configure a master page in any of these three ways:
Accessing a Master Page from within a Content Page
To access a master page from within a content page, we can use the FindControl method as shown below:
Code: ASP
Nested Master Pages
A nested master page is one that references another master page as its master. A nested master page is ideal in situations where we want to keep the main layout in main master page and will inherit the same in another master page. Note that both the parent and child master pages will have the .master extensions. The MSDN states, "Master pages can be nested, with one master page referencing another as its master. Nested master pages allow you to create componentized master pages. For example, a large site might contain an overall master page that defines the look of the site. Different site content partners can then define their own child master pages that reference the site master and that in turn define the look for that partner's content."
Here is an example:
This is markup code of the Parent Master Page:
Code: ASP
Code: ASP
Code: ASP
Master pages can be used to provide a consistent look and feel to one or more pages in your application. Master pages can be nested also. In this article we have had a look at what Master pages are and how we can use them in our applications.
Re: Master Pages in ASP.NET
Nomination this Article for Article of the month - May 2009
Re: Master Pages in ASP.NET
In this section, you create a parent master page. This page contains a banner and navigation controls that can be used throughout the site. Later, you will create another master page that will be used inside this parent master page. Child master pages can provide various layouts for pages while retaining the look that is established by the parent master page.
To create the master page
1.In Solution Explorer, right-click the name of the Web site, and then click Add New Item.
The Add New Item dialog box is displayed.
2. Under Visual Studio installed templates, click Master Page.
3. In the Name box, type ParentMaster.
4. Clear the Place code in separate file check box.
5. In the Language list, click the programming language that you prefer to work with.
6. Click Add.
The new master page is opened in Source view.
And this example also we can creating a Master Pages in ASP.NET

Twi-hards go crazy for Robert Pattinson – and it's attention he enjoys – but what if the Brit never became an actor in the first place?
"I used to want to be a rapper when I was, like, 14," the actor says during an appearance on The Oprah Winfrey Show alongside costars Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner, which is set to air Thursday.
Rap music wasn't the only American entertainment Pattinson, who turns 24 on Thursday, enjoyed. "I grew up watching American movies and stuff," he tells Oprah.
So, what's it like to star in one of the most popular American movie franchises in recent years?
"It's a great position to be in because you can walk into a room and everybody's screaming," he says of the rapturous fan response, which will only grow stronger as their latest chapter, Eclipse, hits theaters June 30. But Pattinson thinks a lot of the enthusiasm is less about him and more about his character, Edward Cullen.
"It's not really about you," he says. "So, it never really goes to your head and you can kind of participate in it. It's about the fans themselves. A lot of people, they just like doing Twilight-related things."
And his costar, Taylor Lautner, agrees.
"It's really unlike anything else," Lautner, 18, says. "It's amazing; over the past two years, I've had the time of my life. I couldn't be more thankful."

When I have shared my new passion for blogging about executive coaching and social media more generally, with friends who run their own business, I get a range of responses:
1. Gimme your Twitter name and I'll follow you. Follow me back though!
2. Yeah we were only talking about that again recently and we need to get our website done and want to get our online presence sorted.
3. Why would people be interested in knowing what I had for breakfast?
This post is aimed at those in Group 2.
I have written a very personal account highlighting some of the benefits and the downsides of engaging in social media, as I have experienced them, in the past four months. I'm not an internet guru. I'm certainly not an IT wizard but I hope this will help those of you who are still on the fringes, those who are still not sure about engaging in marketing your coaching (other) business online.
Do or don't; the choice is yours, but I hope this helps you decide one way or the other.
I knew exactly why I started writing a blog. It was a business activity*. Well, it was at the start. Whilst it remains so, I have discovered it is also a deeply personal activity. Top Tip: You may encounter a similar experience should you decide to write, regardless, you should also begin by being clear about the reasons for starting.
The process of writing a blog about coaching is a creative experience that I can only liken to writing a book on your chosen subject. I haven't written a book (perhaps I will?) but I would imagine that sitting and pouring youself into your words is very much like the experience I have had in writing this blog. Indeed the creativity element has allowed me to keep going in the early days when the visitor numbers were low. Top Tip: Do it. Have a go. Be clear who you are writing for and put finger to keyboard.
Professionally Developing
My views on certain elements of my coaching practise have changed, adapted or strengthened as a result of writing and also from reading the thoughts of others. As a business owner, despite my best intentions, I can occasionally forget to prioritise my own continuous developement. Writing helps me keep in touch with the latest thinking, or indeed I can help shape some of that new thinking by spending time in reflection as I write. Top Tip: Find a niche in your business area that you want to focus on and research and understand that group, then go write for them.
There are lots of platforms that you can use to engage with people in your chosen subject. I was late to social media and whilst I do use Twitter, occasionally LinkedIn and Facebook, I am a real fan of Google+. The quality of engagement is a completely different experience: rich, varied, controllable and a place where people seem to more readily engage in conversation. Tapping into a variety of platforms helps share your message. Top Tip: Find a platform you can engage in that seems to work for you. Find some like-minded and some ideal client profile people to start engaging with.
Time consuming
There is not doubt that writing as many posts as I do per week (approx 2-3) is time consuming. You may not think so to read them, but each post is a while in development, as I play ideas around in my head. The writing doesn't take so long. Finding good artwork and planning my week, to ensure I can release posts even when I am in front of clients and all the links that are needed to encourage traffic to read it, can be time consuming, despite some automating of the process. Top Tip: Define what time you need to spend on this activity. Don't allow it to creep into other important tasks. Stick to your plan – it's really easy to spend hours cruising around but not add any value to your business or anyone elses.
I haven't suffered from writers block yet (sorry !) but I could see a time when you might. There have been times when I just needed a break from it, so decided Christmas was a good time to get some distance. Refresh. I understand from reading around that there are some incredibly succesful bloggers who only write once a week, many large corporations produce many posts per day. Decide what works for you. Stick with it, or not. Top Tip: If you start slowly with one or two posts per week, you can gauge how that works in terms of time and effort.
Thanks for reading. I would be interested to hear your views on your experiences, thoughts, concerns with engaging in the interweb !
*My internet strategy was agreed with Jim Connolly. I would recommed you talk with him, if you want some help with this.
Contact me if you want any help with coaching.

Well I don't have access to an IA64 system so this may be a bit tricky...
First possibility is a compiler bug. Have you tried updating gcc? Can
you test this on other 64 bit platforms too to see if there is a problem?
You say OpenSSL 0.9.7d is OK. What about 0.9.7e? Basically can you track
down the first version where this actually happens?
If there is stack corruption or some unknown memory access then can you
try linking in a debugging malloc library into a debug build of OpenSSL
with something like heap and fence post checking?
Have you tried it without -fPIC?

Our friends over at SUPRA just released the Pro + Am Collection. It features four signature pro model shoes redesigned by four different Ams (meaning amateurs). Skater Terry Kennedy's signature edition, Stacks, are the first pair to drop in the collection. Kevin Romar collaborated with the design colorway. Dubbed, TK + Romar Stacks, the sneaks sport a unique, black, nappy suede upper with burgundy accents, burgundy mesh lining, a PRO + AM sock liner and hang tag, all on a burgundy cup sole with white sidewalls.
Terry said:
"The colorway is dope. I like the suede, it's kind of like a brush, like an afro almost. When I looked at it that was the first thing that came to my mind: looks like an afro. I've never seen that material before. It's super interesting."
Check out the visuals here:
Terry continued:
"I got inspired by my hair: it's nappy black, and I had to throw burgundy on there, that's one of my favorite colors. It's pretty much just burgundy and nappy, two things that go good together."
The TK + Romar Stacks is now available at better skate retailers worldwide, and suprafootwear.com.

Librarian Creates Book List That's Kid AND Gay Friendlytoddler-times
When it comes to children's book for opening your kids' eyes to gay families or picking one up for your favorite gay couple's tot, you can always count on a pick from the American Library Association's most challenged list.
But what happens when you want to get past And Tango Makes Three or Uncle Bobby's Wedding? You check out Librarian Patricia Sarles' growing online list.
Sarles' Books for Donor Offspring list is already a go-to resource for parents who need a little help explaining conception to their children who were conceived via Assisted Reproductive Technology: Donor Egg, Donor Sperm, In Vitro Fertilization, Donor Embryo, Surrogacy or Gestational Carrier. The librarian had some experience with assisted reproduction herself, so the donor offspring list was a natural starting point.
Now she's moved on to an expansive list of books for, as she explains it, "parents who would like to find books for their children about the experience of being a child in a gay family, or having a gay friend or family member . . . for librarians who would like to develop collections on this topic, and . . . for counselors and therapists who would like to use these books in their practices."
Including a list of how many American libraries carry the book and a resource for making a purchase, the list will be annotated as Sarles gets a chance to actually sit down and review each title. Right now it already includes short reviews culled from the Library of Congress.
Tango and Uncle Bobby are each on the "Books for Gay Families List," naturally, along with another popular pick: Heather Has Two Mommies. But lesser known picks such as The Daddy Machine and Spacegirl Pukes take this list into genres previously unexplored.
We know we'll be using this list to craft our next big Amazon order. How about you?

A thousand year old body would be awesome! Certainly better than a body dead only a few years. (Insert Home Alone "scream face" here.)
I suck at decorating, so the best I can do is tell you an error to avoid. Don't rush. Whether you're into new things or found things or antiques, search until you find the piece on which to build the room. Because if you don't wait, you'll see it on craigslist about 48 hours after you've settled for a lesser choice.
A 150 pound concrete Buddha for a garden is only a good choice if you're never going to move again.
That's all I've got. I don't like matchy matchy for me, so I can never just go in and buy a whole set of anything, and I've made enough errors that stared me in the face far too long that I'm often on the fence about a piece until someone else buys it. I suck at decorating. :p

When someone keeps commiting offensive acts, but apologizes afterward each time, is he really sorry?
That question arises in the case of Philadelphia-based Urban Outfitters, which again is selling apparel that offends a particular segment of American society. This time, again, it's Irish Americans, who are stereotypically depicted on T-shirts and other items Urban Outfitters hopes to sell to St. Patrick's Day revelers.
It's a shame that an event that for the better part of 1,000 years was observed solely as a religious holiday that began in Ireland has become for too many people little more that an excuse for bawdy behavior. But that development shouldn't be seen as an opportunity to disparage the Irish people.

To determine whether acute otitis media can be distinguished from an uncomplicated upper respiratory tract infection by the symptoms of the children.
Prospective cohort study.
Urban, pediatric primary care center in Turku, Finland.
Three hundred two children younger than 4 years (mean age, 2.1 years) attending day-care centers were followed up and examined during episodes of upper respiratory tract infection. The signs and symptoms of the children were recorded daily by the parents.
Main Results:
The specificity and positive predictive value of earache for acute otitis media were 92% and 83%, respectively. However, 40% of the children with acute otitis media had no apparent earache. Restless sleeping had a specificity of 51% and a positive predictive value of 46% for acute otitis media. Thirty-one percent of the children with acute otitis media had no fever. Continuation of respiratory symptoms for several days after the first examination was significantly related with later development of acute otitis media.
Earache in children with upper respiratory tract infection is indicative of acute otitis media, but the absence of earache does not preclude acute otitis media. Therefore, even in the absence of any signs and symptoms localized to the ear, all children at risk for acute otitis media should be examined during upper respiratory tract infection, and if respiratory symptoms persist for several days after the initial visit, a reexamination should be performed. Restless sleeping and fever are of no value in distinguishing acute otitis media from an uncomplicated upper respiratory tract infection.(Arch Pediatr Adolesc Med. 1995;149:26-29)

Thinking about donating money to help victims of the Boston Marathon bombings? Make sure you don't get scammed.
In the wake of media reports of donors getting scammed by fake charities, New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman is offering the following tips before you write that check:
• Donate only to charities you are familiar with and carefully review information about the charity before you give.
• Ask how your donation will be used.
• Be wary of newly formed organizations. Check to see if they have experience assisting victims of tragedies.
• Be careful when giving through social media. Check out who is behind the fundraising efforts.
• Before you text a contribution, check the charity's website or call the charity to confirm it has authorized contributions to be made via text message.
• Don't give cash. Give directly to the charity either by check payable to the organization or through the charity's website.
• Be careful about personal information. Avoid giving credit card or personal information over the phone or by text message.
• Avoid unsolicited spam emails. They are usually not associated with legitimate charities.
If you believe an organization is trying to scam you or is misrepresenting its work, Schneiderman said to contact the attorney general's Charities Bureau at email@example.com.

Hardinge's DD100 direct-drive super-precision rotary table is a high-speed parts positioner with ±3 arcsecond accuracy and 4 arcsecond repeatability. It is designed for the aerospace and medical industries and also works well for drill and tap, and laser processing, the company says.
The rotary table is capable of spindle speeds ranging to 4,200 degrees per second and as much as 600 rpm continuous rotation. The A2-4 spindle nose accepts standard 5C tooling when used with a collet closer to provide high-precision gripping of various part shapes, sizes and materials. 5C gripping options include collets, expanding collets, step chucks for larger part diameters, jaw chucks and fixture plates.
The table design consists of a housing, bearings, an encoder and a spindle. A rare earth, permanent-magnet DC torque motor is wrapped around the spindle and operates with a programmed gear ratio of 1:1. The encoder is mounted directly to the spindle to provide precision position feedback, the company says. The cross-roller spindle bearing is permanently lubricated, and because the direct-drive torque motor has no mechanical gearing, there is no backlash, the company says. It guarantees a maximum runout of 0.0002 TIR.
The standard rotary package uses the company's direct-drive all-digital servo control and can be used with most machines, but the company says the unit is most productive as a true fourth axis. The direct-drive technology complements machines that have faster axis travel and is compatible with "look-ahead" programming when integrated as a fourth axis to the machine. The units are designed for large part runs on a dedicated machine producing a family of similar parts.
