Bahahahahaha cheeto-fingers. Too true. It's one of the many reasons the library and I don't get along
Jazz?! hahahaha Oh my goodness. I use that word for something else & I am pretty sure it's highly inappropriate to mention here on your blog. That is freaking hilarious.
"unidentifiable jazz"-too funny! I know what you're talking about too! I'm probably the only person who insta-love doesn't bother too much, sometimes I think it just depends on the book. I'm proud of my Borders that's closing because they only put a tiny little black dash across the barcode and let them air-dry while I was finishing up paying for them. I was scared when she brought out that black marker, lol.
I totally agree and if someone didn't return my book I would be really upset.
YES!!!! I agree with all of these, I hate when people don't return your books and also #4 so gross but I've seen it and hate it. I hate the dog eared pages, I always use post its if I want to mark a page that I loved so much or write it down on my journal (yes, I have a journal just for quotes)
Ewwww cheeto crusties! The reason why I don't go to the library is 75% became i'm lazy and like to own my books anyway. And 25% because other people gross me out and I don't want to touch the crap that tons of other people have touched. Although I have to say I'm guilty of getting eye makeup on my books. When I get home late at night and crack open a book and I'm tired and I'm rubbing my eyes, sometimes it happens But it's my book, not someone else's!
Insta-love, OF COURSE.
And OMG. Jacket covers are meant to be left beautiful. I love my books to be beautifully perfect.
Ewwwwwww #4, I totally agree! I just read quickly so I can turn the page! I am guilty of dog-earring, but I hate the stickers!!
Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes! Except for the pretty dresses. I'm still loving those Would be nice if they related more to the story though. At least in the beginning the pretty dress on the cover sort of related to the book (The Luxe), but now it just seems like they're slapping on random pretty dresses with no connection to the actual book (The Vespertine).
I agree with all of these!
I have to have pristine jacket covers too! I'm that girl that will stand in the aisle going through every hardback until I find one that doesn't have a dinged corner or crease or anything:) And please no more insta-love, I'm over it!
great list and sooo true. but number 8 is the worse :/
Hahaha that's why I had to stop borrowing books from the library. There was an unidentifiable stain on a few of the pages, and I was too grossed out to finish the book.
Sadly, I had to stop letting people borrow my books. They either came back in horrible condition, or I never saw them again.
Totally agree with these! Well, I don't mind the dresses. I love a pretty dress.
Inst love only works for me if they're is some cosmic reason for it. It's gotta have some substance.
Great post!
Dog earing pages…hehe Maybe I should hand out those tiny strips of post it notes at the next get together Sometimes you just haaaave to…lol! Nice list for reals tho!

Highlights for AFINIA H480 3D Printer with 1-Year Limited Warranty
Out-of-the-Box 3D Printing
The Afinia H-Series 3D Printer provides a true "Out-of-the-Box 3D Printing Experience" as the 3D Printer comes fully assembled with easy to install software for both the PC and Mac. The Afinia H-Series 3D Printer can prototype a part or model that is up to 5 inches cubed in dimensions. The output is accurate to within .15mm (6 thousandths of an inch), and has 30% of the strength of injection molded parts.
Automatic Leveling
The auto-leveling feature is used to compensate for a warped or uneven print surface. It is not designed to take the place of manually leveling the print platform. The Platform Calibration Probe attaches magnetically to the extruder head and connects to the printer via a data cable. The probe measures the height of the build platform at nine different points, and takes a little over 2 minutes to complete the calibration.
Nozzle Height Detection
The nozzle detection feature measures the nozzle height to ensure that it is the correct distance from the printing surface prior to printing. This process takes about 20 seconds to complete. Using the nozzle height detection feature is more accurate than setting the nozzle height manually; and helps models adhere securely to print surface during printing
Easy to Use, Powerful Software
The 3D Printer Software features an easy-to-use interface for laying out, orienting, duplicating, and scaling parts. Simply use the included utility to calibrate the printhead height, and within minutes you are printing. It easily imports STL files, and the output can be customized in terms of the amount of support material and "raft" (base support) printed. Breakaway support material is simple to remove, and tools for aiding the breakaway are included. Design files for 3D printing can be created using online software, professional software such as SolidWorks™, or by downloading from the extensive online 3D printer community for free.
3D Printer Plastic Filament
The Afinia H-Series 3D printer uses inexpensive, high-quality plastic filament for 3D printing. Afinia offers an array of plastic filament colors including: natural, black, red, blue, yellow and green.
The portable Afinia H-Series 3D Printer is just under 11lbs, making it easy to transport. It can also be operated in standalone mode. Once the file is downloaded to the device, the USB connection between the 3D printer and computer can be disconnected – even while printing.

Key Features
- Flow stress of metal systems with particle hardening, including radiation effects
- New model for dislocation kinetics under shock loading
- Explanation of effects of nanoscale grain size on strength
- Mechanism of hydrogen embrittlement in metal alloys~
Bacon and Osetsky present an atomistic model of dislocation-particle interactions in metal systems, including irradiated materials. This work is important in simulating actual behavior, removing earlier reliance on assumed mechanisms for dislocation motion. New mechanisms for dislocation generation under shock loading are presented by Meyers et al. These models provide a basis for understanding the constitutive behavior of shocked material. Saada and Dirras provide a new perspective on the Hall-Petch relation, with particular emphasis on nanocrystals. Of particular significance, deviations from the traditional stress proportional to the square-root of grain size relation are explained. Robertson et al consider a number of effects of hydrogen on plastic flow and provide a model that provides an explanation of the broad range of properties..

My husband and I have a saying for every time we find ourselves in a busy restaurant or waiting in a long check-out line: "Just think how crowded it would be if there wasn't a recession!"Aren't consumers supposed to be spending less and staying home more? This spring, I could barely squeeze my Jeep past all the cars parked in front of the nursery in my neighborhood. The economy is bad; people have lost their jobs; who's got money for geraniums? My thoughts were similar when I ...

Future of teen 'safe space' in Barre is uncertainJeb Wallace-Brodeur / Staff Photo
Charlene Booth, right, and Dakota Austin, both of Barre, get help from Aldrich Public Library young adult program manager Sarah Costa, center, in the library's Teen Room on Wednesday.
BARRE — A new program that offers teens homework help, access to technology and more is going strong, according to its manager, but she says its first year could be its last if continued funding is not found.
Sarah Costa is the part-time manager of the Aldrich Public Library's pilot program for teens. She was hired in January to supervise the teen room created on the second floor of the library as part of its expansion in 2000.
Costa said an average of 12 teens a day use the program. The teen room is a place to use computers, eat free snacks and, of course, read. She has also brought in special programs including a self-defense course put on by Barre police and a screening of a zombie movie made by Norwich University students.
But she said the biggest thing the program offers is a safe place for teens to come and be themselves.
"There aren't a lot of options for that around here in terms of a supervised space that is still free and open to (teens)," she said.
The program was funded with $19,100 from Barre businessman Charlie Semprebon's bequest to the city. That pays for Costa's salary, special programs for teens and materials like computers, video games and new books. The money runs out at the end of December, and Costa said the library has agreed to pay her through its own budget until June so she can finish out the school year.
Costa is also the director of Calef Memorial Library in Washington.
She said the Aldrich is looking at numerous ways to keep the project going such as grants, support from AmeriCorps or simply incorporating the teen program into the library's budget. She is optimistic the program will continue past June.
It is offered Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays, and Costa said she stays at the library those days until it closes. The room is open every day but is not staffed Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sundays.
She said the biggest draw is the free food such as cookies and milk, pizza, juice and crackers. The food comes from Spaulding High School and subsidized by the federal government since Barre is a high-need area.
A big focus for Costa has been technology. She said the library participated in Teen Tech Week, where the teens learned about hardware and what is actually inside a computer. Costa has also focused on Internet security for teens, helping them with areas such as protecting their passwords.
"(The teens) are digital natives, but they don't always know the best way to use technology," she said.
Costa is working on establishing a teen advisory board for the library that would meet once a month. The board would give teens a voice in what programs the library offers and what books it buys, as well as a chance to lead programming themselves. Costa said she has some teens who are interested in joining the board and hopes to have it up and running within the next month.
So far, Costa said, the program has been evolving based on what she is seeing and what the teens are asking for.
"It's a totally different thing once the teens actually take ownership of (the program) and really direct things," she said.
In the last year, the program has purchased a used iMac and flip cameras so teens can make movies. Costa said the next things on the technology list are upgrading the current computers in the teen room and investing in a video game system so the library can host gaming nights.
If the library does find the funding to continue the program, Costa said, she has no idea what the program could look like in five years. She said the needs and interests of the teens will be totally different.
"If this program is doing what it should be doing, it will adapt to that," she said.

Seventh time's the charm
Hello blogosphere. Did you miss me? I've missed you too.
It's been a long month or so since I've written last, and since I wrote last I've had some ideas on stuff to write about: the Indians and their acquisition of Kerry Wood, a wrap-up to 2008, the ridiculousness of both the current government and the incoming administration… but I've always kind of lost interest, found something better to do, rather than writing. However, on Wednesday I downloaded the Windows 7 beta from MSDN, and tonight finally had some time to play around with it a bit. In short, Windows 7 is polished enough that it could be sold today, and is probably the most revolutionary version of Windows since Windows 95.
I decided to install the beta on a separate partition on my hard drive and triple-boot it with my Fedora 10 and Windows Vista installs. A couple reasons for doing this: a) I wanted to see how well it did with hardware recognition, and b) I wanted to see real performance, not virtualized.
The install was smooth, and for the most part like Windows Vista except for a much cooler boot logo. After the install, the initial setup screen is shown, where you pick the name of your computer, your username, etc. An odd thing I noticed while choosing a password was that a password was optional, but a hint was not: you have to have a password hint. After setting those things up, I was pleasantly surprised to see the next screen which enabled me to select my wireless network right from that setup screen. It's a small touch, but it felt like I got running a lot faster with that embedded in setup. I was also asked to setup a HomeGroup, which I assume is like a workgroup only a little more modern, so I did that and finished setup.
First impressions
Logging into Windows 7 the first time, I noticed that my resolution was correct and it had even picked up my dual monitors correctly. There was no sound, but I was able to install sound drivers without a reboot by using Windows Update a bit later. The background is a little fish stuck in some ocean. It's a nice image, but I'd check out the other themes available. I'm using the one of the snowy mountain (it seems appropriate this weekend).
I set up IE8, which was much better than I remember it being when I tested it earlier this summer on my Vista install. Instead of directing you to a website to set up your initial settings, there are now a series of dialog boxes which are much easier and faster. Still, the first place I went to in IE8 was www.google.com/chrome. I'm willing to give IE8 a second shot, but Chrome is my browser right now.
I ran Windows Update and found only a few updates, only hardware driver installs. They installed quickly (much quicker than Vista and instantaneous compared to XP) and did not require a reboot.
Windows Media Player was nice too. They've seperated the Now Playing and the Library screens, so for someone like me who doesn't like all the UI chrome and just wants the video, the Now Playing screen that is simply a title bar and video, with controls when you hover over the video is a nice improvement. I was able to install DivX and watched a How I Met Your Mother episode with no problems. Another nice touch is that the "Keep player on top of other windows" has been replaced with "Keep Now Playing on top of other windows", because no one in their right mind wants to see their library all the time.
I also liked the "Peek" feature, which just shows your desktop and outlines of the windows so you can see your gadgets (which are largely unchanged from Vista, as far as I can tell). I played around with the docking a little bit too – it's a nice feature that I'll get used to.
So say what you want, Mac fanboys or Microsoft haters: they're working on a product that has a ton of potential. This is what Vista was supposed to be, and I'm really looking forward to what Microsoft has in store for the final release.
Windows 7: A modular approach
I posted yesterday about how I installed Service Pack 1 for Windows Vista. I imagine that any of you reading this know that Windows Vista will eventually be retired, just as XP was before Vista and 2000 was before XP. The internal working name for the next version of Windows is Windows 7, which is set to be released sometime in 2010 (there was talk of 2009, but thankfully Microsoft looks like they're going to delay it long enough to get it right).
Obviously, I'm not writing an encyclopedia here, so why am I writing this post? Because multiple sources are speculating that Windows 7 will be module-based. A module-based OS will be familiar to those of you that have used a fairly modern version of Linux like Ubuntu or Fedora, which uses something called "packages" to customize an installation and add software if needed. The idea is that this way, users get what they want and nothing that they don't want, and can add features later.
Windows has actually had "modules" of some sort for some time, albeit not visible to the user. In Windows Server 2003, something called "roles" was introduced. Users could specify what roles a given server would fill, and then the proper software would be installed. Roles became a bigger part of Server 2008; when you install Server 2008 only the core stuff is installed and then you pick stuff to add.
But for the consumer versions of Windows, which obviously have to cater to the lesser users, the concept of modules and roles has been mostly avoided (except maybe the "Add/Remove Windows Components" dialog box). Evidently this is set to change in Windows 7.
Let me just say that if this is done right, a modular Windows 7 is a fantastic idea. Most of the complaints with Vista is that the operating system is too bloated, comes with too much bloatware and is too expensive. With a modular implementation, all of these problems could be erased.
Here's what I envision: you log in to a Windows Live site, and click around until you get to a page that lets you purchase a copy of Windows 7. Here, you have a few options. You can choose from a few pre-set module configurations that are perhaps a tad discounted, or you can choose to customize your copy of Windows 7. Also, you'd be able to have the box/disc shipped to your house for an additional fee or simply download an ISO image.
Under customization, you'd be able to select which components you want, with only a minimal core of modules that are required (kernel, networking, a "module manager", etc.). Some modules would cost money (perhaps like Windows Movie Maker or Windows Media Center), while others would be free but optional (like IE). Once you're done making your selections, an automated validation bot would go through your selections and make sure everything looked okay, perhaps make recommendations, and then send your selections to a server that would generate the ISO you need. I imagine creating an ISO would take a bit of time (even if it was done dynamically), so you would be directed to an optional registration page, and then you'd be provided with a link to download the ISO and a key. At any time in the future, you'd be able to return to this Live website to make changes to that ISO (and pay the difference if needed), order copies of the CD (with the same key), and most importantly, see your validation key. Once you install the OS, the "module manager" available within Windows would keep track of which modules are installed and allow you to purchase more if needed.
Now where it would really get interesting is if Dell and HP built something into their websites to allow you to customize your Windows OEM installation from there, so that way if you didn't want some of the bloatware Dell and HP provide, you could simply choose to leave it out.
So why is that better? Overall, everything could be cheaper: only pay for what you want! I think things could be easier too, even for the mere mortals, because instead of buying a copy of Office 2010 or whatever, we could simply package it with our Windows ISO for a lower price because it is in a bundle.
I hope this is how things work out for Windows 7, but hopefully this post has enlightened those of you in the dark as to how powerful a modular OS can be. To 2010!

The Amazing Spider-Man 2 is scheduled to kick off the summer in a little over two weeks, and the film is definitely in the final stretches of it's marketing campaign. They've screened over thirty minutes of footage, have had multiple trailers and clips online, and now are dishing out new TV spots that seemingly reveal much of what happens at the end of the film.
But, first up, last night ASM2 revealed a new clip from the movie that shows Andrew Garfield's Peter Parker/Spider-Man dealing with Electro (Jamie Foxx) and his superpowers. Though previous Spider-Man movies have shown the web slinger have spidey-vision, this may be the most extended sequence of it since the first Sam Raimi film. It's also one of those effects sequences that impresses regardless of how digital it might seem. There is no other way, but there's also a gravity to the effects work. Check it out:
Interesting music choices, no? Also of note is that the film has released a couple new TV spots, and they seem to spell out something that is evident to anyone with a cursory knowledge of the Spider-Man mythos. Now there's a Green Goblin in Dane Dehaan, and there's Emma Stone's Gwen Stacy, and… well, see for yourself:
Okay, so that may not show what we think it shows, but it definitely suggests that the film ends on a down note. Which makes sense as this was originally the middle chapter in a trilogy, though now it's the second in a four film cycle that also includes as least two spin-off movies, and one that cut Shailene Woodley's part as Mary Jane Watson. The Amazing Spider-Man 2 opens May 2.
Do you think they go there?

The man accused in a deadly stabbing in Mapunapuna made his first court appearance Tuesday.
Herwin Magbulos, 24, has been charged with second-degree murder.
Court documents say officers were called to the Barcelona Laundromat on Factory Street in Kalihi for a possible murder suspect at around 1:20 p.m. on Sunday.
A witness told police he saw Magbulos hit 59-year-old Darryle Wong in the chest across from 2669 Kilihau Street at around 6:15 a.m. When Wong stood up, a witness saw stab wounds through the front and back of his shirt and a knife was seen in Magbulos' hand.
Wong shouted, "Irwin!" after the stabbing, according to court documents.
Another witness says he was under the H-1 Freeway viaduct to visit Wong when he heard screaming. He saw Magbulos come out with two knives in his hands. At least two witnesses heard Magbulos say, "Let him die."
The witness said that one of the knives was 10-inches-long and the other knife was about 6-inches-long.
Magbulos is being held on $150,000 bail. A preliminary hearing is set for Thursday at District Court.

In an ideal world, we'd all have full control of our professional destinies and be able to choose the work life we wanted. But that's hardly always true these days, in a time of recession, layoffs, pay cuts and furloughs. Many of us are enduring far less than stellar arrangements at work.
Gretchen Rubin, author of a blog called The Happiness Project and a forthcoming book with the same name, says we're experiencing "happiness challenges" at work today. When we lack the power to freely choose what we do - for instance if we've taken a job at a lower level to maintain income and health insurance, or we've taken on more responsibility with no additional pay because our colleagues have been laid off - our morale can take a nosedive. "Moving backward is a happiness challenge," she says.
We may even assume that finding happiness on this job might be too much to ask in this economy. Rubin says you should always be saying to yourself, "How can I be happier?"
She says that feeling of being in control of our lives depends a lot on how satisfied we feel at work and also on whether we're operating in an "atmosphere of growth." If you feel supported by your boss, know you are cared about and appreciated and efforts are being made to help you grow professionally, you'll definitely be more content.
Develop close relationships
Rubin highly recommends making friends at work, mainly for personal satisfaction but also because they may be the source of your next job opportunity. "Make a personal investment in the people around you," she says, "even if you think you're there only temporarily. People who have close relationships at work are happier."
Make the changes you want to see in the workplace
She also suggests taking a little time to think about what exactly makes you unhappy at work. "If there are certain things in your workplace that you can remove, go about getting rid of them. Junk food, the mess in the kitchen - take responsibility for making these things better. And another major source of unhappiness is commuting. Adopting staggered hours or remote working arrangements can make people feel trusted and responsible."
Keep the balance
Don't forget all-around wellness as part of your pursuit of happiness. Take care of yourself. Get enough sleep and exercise, and get up on time. Get your energy level up so you can fully engage with others.
Don't be afraid to ask for what you want
Rubin also urges you to go ahead and ask for any equipment you think you need. She herself was elated after she installed a second and third computer monitor in her workspace. You may not be the only person you please by pursuing work tools or training, she adds: "When you make moves to make things better for yourself at work, you may get positive attention from the boss, who could be impressed by your motivation."
A happy worker is a productive worker
Managers, meanwhile, should always bear in mind how much more productive workers are when they're happy, Rubin says.
They are absent less, they make better leaders and they're more willing to help their co-workers. Happiness is especially important in sales, because other people are attracted to those who appear genuinely cheerful.
Terrisse says that keeping workers happy is important because that's how you retain your most talented people. "It takes so much more time to get a new employee hired, trained and working effectively than to keep an existing employee on board," she observes.
Help yourself, help your company
When making a request for a change that will increase your happiness, be very clear about how it will benefit the company, Terrisse says. "We have helped support some of our people with various nonprofit or charity efforts. It's a good thing to do in its own right, but it also gives the company more visibility."
Massaro never knew about social networking until she took a trip to volunteer at an orphanage in Africa last year.
She was out of the office for month, but because the company allowed that absence, she was able to bring back with her a passion to learn more about a new skill - and that skill ultimately opened up a new specialty for her and a new discipline for the firm.
Continue your pursuit of happiness
In times like these, we're prone to slip into survival mode and even believe we don't deserve happiness at work. Rubin says, "You can be grateful for what you have and still be searching for happiness. They are not mutually exclusive. You're not going to make other people unhappier by making yourself happy. In fact, quite the opposite."
Treat yourself to a little retail therapy!

Mark Haddon Launches Online Petition Against Prisoner's Book Ban
Posted at 4:30PM Monday 24 Mar 2014Eminent writers from Mark Haddon to Philip Pullman have poured scorn on "despicable" new rules from the Ministry of Justice, which effectively ban prisoners from being sent books from outside.
Calling the rules a "malign and pointless extra punishment, which is not only malign and small-minded but desperately counterproductive", Haddon, author of The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night Time, has begun a mission to get "every writer in the UK publicly opposed to this by tea time".

Is France's New Vanity Fair Out to Steal Carine Roitfeld's Thunder?
It depends who you talk to.
Xavier Romatet, president of Condé Nast France, recently announced vague plans for the launch of a new French Vanity Fair. The Times notes the unusual timing, "many months before it appears, without a fixed date for the first edition ... [and] in the midst of an economic crisis, with a soft advertising market." One source, a journalist with "close ties" to Condé, says the move is likely designed to rain on Carine Roitfeld's parade and overshadow the launch of CR Fashion Book. Unsurprisingly, Romatet says that's not the case.

Statement From A.G. Schneiderman On Supreme Court Decision Applying Citizens United To States
WASHINGTON – The following statement can be attributed to New York Attorney General Eric T. Schneiderman in response to the U.S. Supreme Court's 5-4 decision today in American Tradition Partnership v. Bullock, which applies the Citizens United ruling to allow unlimited corporate spending in state and local elections.
"We are disappointed by today's decision to strike down Montana's law regulating corporate spending in campaigns for state and local offices, particularly because the Court invalidated the law without receiving full briefing or hearing oral argument. The decision gives short shrift to States' vital interests in protecting their democratic processes and institutions from the threats posed by unlimited corporate spending in campaigns. It also ignores the national experience since the Court decided Citizens United v. FEC two years ago, which has allowed corporations and billionaires to flood millions of dollars to candidates through Super PACs whose independence is a legal fiction. The application of Citizens United to state and local elections will be disastrous for the integrity of our democracy."
In May, Attorney General Schneiderman led a bipartisan coalition of 22 states and the District of Columbia in a brief arguing the states have a compelling interest in regulating corporate spending in state and local elections, and that the Court should not automatically invalidate state campaign finance laws without a full hearing.

Senator Ron Johnson says that Record U.S. Trade Deficits DON'T MATTER!
This past Friday I attended a meeting with U.S. Senator Ron Johnson in Hudson, Wisconsin. He gave a 30 minute presentation on the financial state of our country and the ongoing budget debates in Washington, DC. His presentation cited many of the facts and figures that are included in Selling U.S. Out; however, he never mentioned our record trade deficits. After his presentation I presented the below chart and shared the following facts with him:
- The U.S. overall trade deficit in 2011 was $600 BILLION – the largest in the world!
- The closest country to us was Turkey at negative $78 BILLION – a fraction of our trade deficit!
- China has the world's largest trade SURPLUS – a position the U.S. held until the 1970s.
- The U.S. hasn't had a trade SURPLUS since 1975 – only DEFICITS totaling over $8 trillion!
- NAFTA has been a colossal failure – destroying American industry and 700,000 U.S. jobs!
- Outsourcing and off shore manufacturing is bankrupting the U.S. economy.
After sharing this information, I asked the senator three questions and he responded as follows:
1. Have you read the copy of my book, Selling U.S. Out that I sent to you a few months ago?
Response: No, I have not read your book.
2. Why is there no discussion in Washington, DC of U.S. record trade deficits?
Response: There is no discussion of our trade deficits because they DON'T MATTER. We could make this go away by simply devaluing our currency…
3. Given the colossal failure of NAFTA, why are you supporting the Obama administration's proposal of creating similar "Free Trade" agreements with Europe and Asia?
Response: I support ( NAFTA ) FREE TRADE… Americans like being able to buy cheap goods at Wal-Mart… this is a complicated issue that I don't want to discuss or debate with you right now…
The senator's dismissal of the U.S. trade deficit shows an ignorance and denial of the facts as explained in Selling U.S. Out. His responses also confirm what I wrote about in last week's article – "The Elephant in the room that NEITHER major political party wants to talk about!" Theodore Roosevelt, Abraham Lincoln, William McKinley, and other early Republican leaders would be stunned.
As Congressman William McKinley stated in 1888 …
"Free foreign trade gives our money, our manufactures, and our markets to other nations to the injury of our labor, our trades people, and our farmers. Protection keeps money, markets, and manufactures at home for the benefit of our own people."
… And President Theodore Roosevelt made clear in 1901.
"The well-being of the wage-worker is a prime consideration of our entire policy of economic legislation."
Senator Ron Johnson and the other "Free Traders" who call themselves Republicans should become better acquainted with American history. Like Lincoln, Roosevelt, and McKinley, I support balanced trade that puts America first!
I will be speaking on this topic at the American University in Washington, DC on Tuesday, April 23rd from 6 PM to 8 PM. CLICK HERE for details on this event and to download FREE sample chapters of Selling U.S. Out. Also PLEASE call or e-mail your congressional representatives and ask them to attend this important event! I personally invited Senator Ron Johnson. Hopefully he will come.

Chuck Feeney
|Chuck Feeney
|Charles Francis Feeney
April 23, 1931
Elizabeth, New Jersey, U.S.
|Irish-American (dual citizenship)
|Cornell University School of Hotel Administration
|Businessman and philanthropist
|Known for
|The Atlantic Philanthropies
|Danielle (divorced); Helga
|Juliette, Caroleen, Diane, Leslie and Patrick
|Cornell Icon of Industry Award, Honorary Doctorate of Laws from all universities in Ireland, North and South, Republic of Ireland's Presidential Distinguisted Service Award for Irish Abroad, UCSF Medal, Irish-America Magazine's Hall of Fame and The Forbes 400 Lifetime Achievement Award For Philanthropy.
Charles Francis "Chuck" Feeney (born April 23, 1931)[1] is an Irish-American businessman and philanthropist and the founder of The Atlantic Philanthropies, one of the largest private foundations in the world. He made his fortune as a co-founder, with Robert Warren Miller, of the Duty Free Shoppers Group. The concept of "duty-free shopping"—offering high-end concessions to travelers, free of import taxes—was in its infancy when, along with Miller, Feeney founded DFS on November 7, 1960. DFS began operations in Hong Kong (where it retains its headquarters), later expanding to Europe and other continents. DFS' first major breakthrough came in the early 1960s, when it secured the exclusive concession for duty-free sales in Hawaii, allowing it to market its products to Japanese travelers.
DFS eventually expanded to off-airport duty-free stores and large downtown Galleria stores, and became the world's largest travel retailer. In 1996, Miller's and Feeney's interests were acquired by Louis Vuitton Moët Hennessy (LVMH), the French luxury goods group, for $1.63 billion. In March 2011, Feeney was inducted into Irish America magazine's Hall of Fame.[2] In 1997, Time Magazine said: "Feeney's beneficence already ranks among the grandest of any living American."[3]
Personal life[edit]
Charles Feeney, an Irish-American dual citizen,[4] was born in New Jersey during the Great Depression and came from a modest background of blue collar Irish-American parents in Elizabeth, New Jersey, in the United States. His ancestry traces to County Fermanagh in Northern Ireland. He served as a U.S. Air Force radio operator during the Korean War, and began his career selling duty-free liquor to US naval personnel at Mediterranean ports in the 1950s.[5]
He graduated from the Cornell University School of Hotel Administration [1] and was a brother of Alpha Sigma Phi. In 2010 he received the Cornell Icon of Industry Award.[6]
In 2012, all the universities of Ireland, North and South, jointly conferred an Honorary Doctorate of Laws on Feeney.[7] During the year, he also received Ireland's 'Presidential Distinguished Service Award' for Irish Abroad,[8] and the UCSF Medal[9] for outstanding personal contributions to the University of California, San Francisco's health science mission.
Feeney has four daughters and one son. He has married twice. His first wife, named Danielle, is French. His second wife is named Helga. He has been noted for his frugality.[10][11]
Feeney was a co-founder of the Duty Free Shoppers Group (DFS Group), which earned him his fortune.[12] In 1984, Feeney transferred his entire 38.75% ownership stake in DFS, worth $1.6 billion, to what became the Atlantic Philanthropies.[10]
"I had one idea that never changed in my mind—that you should use your wealth to help people. I try to live a normal life, the way I grew up," Feeney said. "I set out to work hard, not to get rich."[5] A report explaining Feeney's "Giving While Living" approach to philanthropy and its lasting impact on the philanthropic community was issued by The Atlantic Philanthropies in 2010. It profiles Feeney as well as other philanthropists who give in this manner and the impact of their grant-making.
Feeney shuns publicity while donating his accumulated wealth. He grants few interviews.[13]
Feeney founded The Atlantic Philanthropies in 1982, and in 1984, having made provision for himself, each of his children and his first wife, he transferred the bulk of his wealth to the foundation.
As of October 2012, Atlantic has made grants totaling more than $6.2 billion since 1982 and plans to spend its remaining $1.3 billion by 2016.[14] The Atlantic Philanthropies grant-making supports health and social projects in Australia, Bermuda, Northern Ireland, the Republic of Ireland, South Africa, the United States and Vietnam. It is one of the largest charitable donors in each of the countries in which it operates,[15] and is the single largest funder of ageing and of comprehensive immigration reform in the United States.[16][17][18] In December 2011, Atlantic committed a $350 million gift to help build the campus for Cornell University's new high-tech graduate school on Roosevelt Island in New York City.[11] In October 2015, Feeney gave a multiyear $177 million grant to establish the Global Brain Health Institute (GBHI) at UC San Francisco and Trinity College Dublin to help with dementia research.[19]
Feeney has been a major donor to his alma mater Cornell University, which has received over $950 million in direct and Atlantic gifts, including a donation of $350 million towards the New York Tech Campus.[11] He has also donated around $1 billion to education in Ireland, mostly to third-level institutions, most notably the University of Limerick,[1] and over $350 million to causes in Vietnam.
The Giving Pledge[edit]
In February 2011, Feeney became a signatory to The Giving Pledge.[20] In his letter to Bill Gates and Warren Buffett, the founders of The Giving Pledge, Feeney writes, "I cannot think of a more personally rewarding and appropriate use of wealth than to give while one is living—to personally devote oneself to meaningful efforts to improve the human condition. More importantly, today's needs are so great and varied that intelligent philanthropic support and positive interventions can have greater value and impact today than if they are delayed when the needs are greater."[21]
Books and articles[edit]
Before 1997 no one knew of Feeney's philanthropy. That year in an article published by The New York Times,[4] he decided to end his anonymity when it became apparent that a dispute with Robert Miller, his former DFS partner, over the sale of DFS Group was likely to lead to a lawsuit that would reveal his donations anyway.[4]
Feeney cooperated in the publication of a biography about him by Conor O'Clery, The Billionaire Who Wasn't: How Chuck Feeney Made and Gave Away a Fortune Without Anyone Knowing (ISBN 978-1-58648-391-3). Feeney is also the subject of a documentary by RTÉ Factual entitled "Secret Billionaire: The Chuck Feeney Story."[22]

Herald rating: * * *
If things don't work out for the Hume brothers, they could always go to the Finn brothers for work. Or more specifically, to Neil, whose wife owns a chandelier shop.
Need a jingle, Sharon? No worries. On their second album, Evermore sing of surrounding light, guiding light, shooting stars, morning stars, shadows, darkness, night and all things shiny.
On one hand, the recurring theme suits the brothers. Their debut album Dreams was rudely ignored by the New Zealand public, and it wasn't until It's Too Late was awarded a Silver Scroll that they were confirmed as hometown stars.
Sonically, too, Real Life is a an album full of twinkling pianos, rippling guitars and a sunny optimism that could come only from three young, mild-mannered men who literally have the world at their feet (see the video Running for proof).
It's also a step in a bold but accessible new direction.
You could argue that radio programmers here didn't jump all over Dreams because there were too many quirks and unsettling moods. But on Real Life, all the dreaming is done with eyes wide open, arms out wide and amps plugged in.
Aside from the almost gospel-like references to light, everything here feels more majestic and polished, as though each song is vying for bigger anthemic status than the last.
The first half of the album, with rousing tracks like Running, Unbreakable (which sounds very much like early U2) and Never Let You Go show Evermore at their finest.
But they still have room to grow in the songwriting department in terms of that recurring theme, a few samey chord progressions and their tendency to write nursery rhyme couplets: "I wake up, I've been sleeping in my bed, when I get up ... music's playing in my head."
You have to wonder too if their boss Seymour Stein (the man who launched Madonna, the Ramones and Talking Heads and who is now aiming to break them in the US) eliminated all the risky, difficult tracks, the kind that would have appeared on Dreams, allowing only the wisftul, quiet ballads of a slower tempo to make the cut.
The mood here seems to be on a very even keel, as though someone has sand-papered over the edges.
That said, this is a bright album. It's doubtful they'll ever need to give the Finns a call.

Recreational Projects in Garrett and Washington Counties to See Enhancements
Recreational projects in Garrett and Washington counties will soon receive funding for necessary upgrades and additions through Program Open Space. Governor Martin O'Malley and the Board of Public Works approved the projects at today's meeting in Annapolis.
"Program Open Space funded recreational projects provide convenient places where our children can enjoy a favorite sport or explore their natural world, while getting exercise and spending quality time with friends and family," said Governor O'Malley.
Garrett County's town of Oakland will receive $3,000 to install backboards on the basketball hoops at the Oakland Armory. A portion of previously approved Program Open Space grants will also be used to improve the facility. These enhancements include replacing a portion of the flooring at the existing basketball court, and upgrading the flooring and lighting system in the gymnasium.
Washington County's town of Boonsboro will receive $31,500 to complete the first phase of developing King Farm Park. The funding will be used to install amenities which include picnic tables, benches, trash receptacles, bicycle racks, park signage and a small picnic shelter. Many of the initial upgrades included in the plan for the first phase of this multi-phased project have already been established. These previously completed additions include landscaping, further development of the town's new community fishing pond, a 31-space parking lot, playing fields, restrooms, a floating dock and storm water management features.
Under the leadership of Governor O'Malley, the Board of Public Works has approved funding for 1,152 recreational projects, including Community Parks & Playgrounds, totaling more than $313 million through local-side Program Open Space since 2007. Most Maryland residents live within 15 minutes of an open space or recreational area funded by Program Open Space. A video showing the direct benefits of Program Open Space can be viewed here.

Two children were in the car when a Muscoda woman suspected of drunken driving crashed the car Saturday night, according to the Grant County Sheriff's Office.
Deputies were called to County C Road in the town of Watterstown at 10:15 p.m. for a report of a crash.
Investigators said the car driven by Donna Levins, 34, went off the road with two passengers under the age of 16 on board. Levins was taken to Gundersen Boscobel Area Health Care where she failed field sobriety tests. A preliminary breath test showed Levin's blood alcohol content to be more than three times the legal limit.
Levins was arrested on suspicion of third-offense operating while intoxicated.

Influential Poker Players

With millions of players whom play poker online and trying to become a professional poker player you can only imagine the amount of role models and influential poker players there are out there. Many poker players have been able to help the poker industry strive and they deserve to be noticed for there work that they've done.
Many professionals spend time doing interviews on the radio and television as well as play poker on the television and much more in order to advance the game. If they wanted they could sit in a casino all day and make money, but instead they work on improving the game and adding to the already large amount of poker players playing the game. Poker has been played for decades upon decades, but it was never really popular until about a decade ago when more people found the game and started playing it.
Before then many poker players shaped the game that we all love today though and we'll recognize some of them for there amazing efforts in this article. I won't be able to list all of the influential players that have graced us with there presence, but I will be listing some of the more notable players.
Doyle Brunson
Doyle Brunson is by far the most influential player in poker history and has been playing for decades. He is a pioneer in the game and every poker whether young or old has heard and seen Doyle play on the television. He seems to always be on television shows, and he also owns his own online poker room which has helped the online players have a place to play.

Face paints are specially designed for use on facial skin. These paints are water-based, which require wet brushes and sponges in order to be applied. Mixing these paints works best on the spot, using water and a little creativity as you apply the paint to the skin or as you build the design. Practice is the surest way to get the colors and results you want in your face paints.
Things You'll Need
- Face paintbrushes
- Paring knife
- Empty pill box
Consider the colors you want to make when mixing the face paints. For example, to make a rich orange color, put more red than yellow in the mix. For a cooler purple color, load the mixture with more blue than red. Play around with ideas for the colors you want to create.
Dip a face paintbrush in water and load it with the first color. Make sure to load an even, medium amount onto the brush. Dip the brush in the second color just along the tip of the brush.
Stroke the brush along the face or palette you are working on, allowing the colors to blend together. This mixing technique will create a blended, dual-color look to show off the two separate colors and the color they create together.
Load a sponge with the first color you would like to mix. Dapple the color onto the face or palette you are working on and allow the color to dry. Dip the sponge into the second color and dapple over the first color to create a new color. This technique will create an opaque color on the skin.
Make your own mixed color cake. Many face paints come in square or round cakes, which can be cut into segments and mixed together. Take a sharp paring knife and cut out a small wedge from two colors. Each wedge should only be about 1/4-inch wide.
Place the two wedges side by side into a pill box square. Pill boxes are ideal to store face paints in. They have small, square cavities which can be sealed off from air and will not leak when water is mixed in them.
Dip a sponge or brush into water and swirl over the two newly combined colors to create the new, unique color.
Tips & Warnings
- Practice mixing colors on a sheet of water color paper before applying to the face.

Do you take the time to cultivate true happiness? Do you even know what true happiness is? Born into a Tibetan nomadic family and recognized as the reincarnation (Tulku) of an important lama of a Tibetan monastery, Tulku Thondup Rinpoche reveals a key to health and happiness. "Healing can be different things to different people, however, the most important aspect of healing is to have peace in our minds." Using basic Buddhist principles, Thondup has created a universal guide for all who wish to become healthier, happier, and more peaceful in everyday life. Thondup stresses the importance of the mind/body connection to attain overall well-being.
Thondup studied at the Dodrupchen Monastery in Tibet and fled to India in 1958, where he taught for many years. In 1980, he moved to the U.S. as a visiting scholar at Harvard University. Some of his many books include The Healing Power of Mind: Simple Meditation Exercises for Health, Well-Being, and Enlightenment (Shambhala 1996) and Boundless Healing: Meditation Exercises to Enlighten the Mind and Heal the Body (Shambhala 2000).

- Why we are what we think
- Discover the power of positive words to manifest
- How peace is related to the mind

Background: Various methods are used to estimate smoking-attributable mortality, but these methods often produce differing results. Most do not provide estimates for specific age groups or directly control for confounding factors.
Methods: US smoking-attributable mortality by age is estimated here based on relative mortality hazards for smokers and observed death rates for never-smokers. Hazard ratios for smokers are estimated through survival analysis of data from adults in the 1997–2004 National Health Interview Survey, followed for mortality through the end of 2006. A variety of possible confounding risk factors are controlled for in the analysis.
Results: There were an estimated 291,000 smoking-attributable deaths among men and 229,000 such deaths among women annually in the United States from 2002 through 2006. These figures are generally consistent with, but somewhat higher than, published estimates from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, particularly for women.
Conclusion: This method provides reasonable estimates of total and age-specific smoking-attributable mortality in the United States that include controls for potential confounding factors.

Audrey has decided that she wants to grow lettuce and open a grocery store to sell it. I shared this information with our CSA and they invited her to come help them in a few years. Then we will see how enamored she is with growing food for others. It is hard work. For now I encourage her by helping her plant seeds so that she can watch the plants grow and see the process. It is finally cooling off in Kansas so we purchased some small containers so that we can do more patio gardening this fall. We received a free packet of heirloom lettuce seeds and decided to give them a try. I have never grown lettuce from seed. We were advised to give them plenty of water (thanks Jessi!) and now we will wait.

HINT : It's an Exact Equation...
Mathstud's Limit Marathon has inspired me to start a Differential Equation Marathon. It will have similar rules : "after someone completes a DE and gets the OK from the DE's poster, he/she posts their own DE."
There are no restrictions on how you may solve them. But please show all the steps that led you to your solution.
Here's an easy one:
Word problems are fine. They can be challenging (depending on how you interpret the question to write your DE); hence, that's the reason why I like them. You can post your question now, Galactus.
Here is a decent one. I like problems like this (it's not that bad):
The conical tank in the drawing loses water out of the hole in the bottom.
The cross-sectional area of the hole is 1/4 ft^2. Determine a DE representing
the height of the water h at ant time. Ignore friction and contraction of the
water stream at the hole.
Hint: you can use
represent the height at any time, but use the given data.
Substituting gives us
which can be rewritten
Integrating :
Using the graph, one can see that the function is linear for which could be interesting to make an hourglass. (it'd be a large one )

Day Eight: Betsey Johnson, Anna Sui, Osklen, and the Blonds
By Conor Lamb
This year we tasked photographer Conor Lamb with documenting New York Fashion Week, so we wouldn't have to. On the eighth day of his coverage (the homestretch), Conor got his second wind and captured some of the week's most anticipated shows. Keep up with this column for more NYFW photo updates!

Conor Lamb is a freelance photographer who hails from the Midwest where he studied lighting and photography. He's exhausted from all the shitty parties he used to document when night-life photography was still a thing. He has a penchant for shooting hip-hop artists, and he's covered fashion stuff for us in the past. He has a Joy Division tattoo and, according to a very good source, he and his girlfriend like to dress up as juggalos. His work can be found here.

the most part, running a family business is just
like running any small business — except for the
fact that your boss may happen to be your
mother-in-law or your employees live in the room
next door.
While those
factors may seem extraordinary, the truth is
that the same sound practices propel every
successful business, whether it is a mom-and-pop
grocery store, an accounting firm or even a
Fortune 500. There are proven business
strategies that apply universally and
distinguish operations that thrive from those
that fail. The downfall of many family-owned
establishments is that they allow family
dynamics to get in the way, interfering with
their business rather than advancing it.
I've seen it
first-hand. In my capacity as a business
advisor, I've worked with dozens of family
businesses seeking growth, stability and
opportunity. Different industries, different
infrastructures, different personalities, but a
very similar agenda: How can I operate a
profitable, fulfilling and healthy family
business? The answers are not as complicated as
one might think.
First and
foremost, the most critical foundation for every
organization is clear vision; every new venture
should start with the end in mind. What will the
business look like when it's finished, and what
will you do with it? Will you keep the business
and live off the profits? Will you sell it, or
pass it down to another generation? What do you
want out of the business — both personally and
professionally? Are you looking for a life-long
career, a path to prosperity, a meaningful
legacy… or perhaps all of the above? These are
vital, defining questions for entrepreneurs to
consider before they take the plunge. And for
many family enterprises, this is precisely where
the challenges begin!
Family businesses
are often operated by multiple owners, or
shareholders, with varied and potentially
clashing viewpoints. For example, one partner
may dream about expanding the business across
three states, while another seeks to maintain a
small, cozy establishment in his hometown. To
make matters worse, they may be completely
unaware of the disparity! It may not be
revealed for years because they haven't
discussed the subject, at which point dissolving
the business may be inevitable. On the flip
side, when shareholders communicate effectively
and work toward a common, inspiring goal, great
outcomes can be achieved.
Even so, the
potential for conflict remains. Once
shareholders have set the course they need to
determine who will be steering the ship. Enter
problem number two! Many family businesses
function as a giant democracy without
leadership, roles, or defined responsibilities.
Imagine Microsoft operating without a president
or job descriptions — it simply wouldn't work.
And it doesn't work for most family businesses
Right from the
beginning, family businesses should appoint a
leader, or Chief Executive Officer (CEO),
charged with overseeing the organization and
moving it in the right direction. This
individual is empowered by the shareholders to
carry out their vision and governing ideas. From
there, shareholders should divide the major
responsibilities so that each partner manages
certain aspects of the business. For instance,
Uncle Joe, the family computer whiz, may serve
as the Chief Information Officer, while Johnny,
the most creative of the bunch, may act as Vice
President of Marketing. In most cases, each
shareholder will take on several roles and that
is perfectly fine, as long as they are clear,
equitable, and respected.
But beware!
Things can become sticky if these roles are
constantly challenged, especially within family
businesses where siblings or children assume
positions of authority. It is imperative that
families support the business by supporting one
another in their jobs — as they would their
colleagues or supervisors in any other work
environment. The shareholders cannot question
every decision made by the CEO, and conversely,
the CEO cannot micromanage the tasks of his
Perhaps the
greatest challenge for family establishments is
to continually work on their business rather
than merely in it. It's not enough to have
stellar vision, exceptional talent or a superior
product or service; you also need foresight and
focus. Many proprietors equate this with an
elaborate business plan, but that does not have
to be the case. In fact, some of the most
successful businesses I've ever seen have no
such document. What they do have are clear and
concise goals, strategies and systems for
measuring their performance.
Family businesses
also need to consider options for succession
planning, such as transferring the business from
a first to second generation or preparing it for
sale. This process should begin three to five
years in advance so a new leader can be
adequately mentored and trained (assuming he or
she wants to remain in the business), or the
establishment can optimize its value before
courting potential buyers.
family businesses can sometimes benefit from a
little outside help. They can receive valuable
insights and guidance from professional business
advisors with expertise in evaluating expansion
opportunities, prioritizing investments,
resolving internal conflicts, developing
marketing strategies, and assisting with other
complex functions. When looking for an advisor,
consider each candidate's credentials, years of
experience, professional associations and
network affiliations. Ideally, find someone who
specializes in small- and medium-sized
So what's the
bottom line? What are the true keys to success
for family-owned businesses? One of the biggest
is to manage family dynamics so they don't
manage your business. Open the lines of
communication, and keep talking about where you
are and where you want to be. Finally, don't be
afraid of change … it is the only way you can
get there!

That's an awfully strange coincidence
The woman who says she was raped by three members of Duke's lacrosse team also told police 10 years ago she was raped by three men, filing a 1996 complaint claiming she had been assaulted three years earlier when she was 14.
Technorati Tags: Duke+Rape
that's funny. the united states claimed that the world trade center was attacked by terrorists in 1993; then, the country claimed the buildings were attacked again in 2001.Posted by: not dawn summers at April 28, 2006 at 9:40 am
Back in time I go…
I was accused of not serving a table promptly because of race in 1993. Nevermind that we waited tables in a buddy system, and my buddy's look matched the complainers'.
Restaurant records revealed….. …. ..they had been in six months before and made the same claim against another server!
Whoa, I think a few weeks ago, NDS made a faulty analogy. And a few weeks before that too! And possibly…Posted by: Jay at April 28, 2006 at 10:20 am
The first charge was dismissed because the then 14 year old victim feared for her safety. There was nothing to suggest the old charge was false. Unless one were to believe that following through on a rape allegation all the way to trial, if necessary, were easy and fun and there's no reason a person wouldn't want to do it if the charge were true, this doesn't equal the players being innocent.Posted by: Gib at April 28, 2006 at 11:57 am
The Smoking Gun has the old complaint, and I noticed that the race of the men accused are each black.
Lesson learned: Blame rich white guys, get Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson to raise hell with the race card, and the DA will prosecute, and you will get MONEY!!!!
Harsh? Perhaps, but this is where I think this is going…
I don't want to blame the alleged victim, but she should stop putting herself in positions where its easy to get raped by 3 men. Its not like she was pulled into a car at gunpoint. She was probably drinking and flirting with the guys and the guys took it too far.Posted by: delbrians at April 28, 2006 at 2:32 pm
Delbrains, I hope you get raped by three men. Really.Posted by: Sam L. at April 28, 2006 at 6:25 pm

Fire in the Sky in London
Early this morning a British Airways (BA) aircraft made an emergency landing at Heathrow Airport. According to all the tweets, all passengers and crew are safe and the situation is under control. According to the BBC, the plane had an engine fault. Eye witnesses tweeted about and posted photos of seeing flames coming from the plane as it flew overhead.
According to BA, the Airbus A319 that was heading towards Oslo was carrying 75 passengers and a full investigation will be conducted on the incident. Heathrow Airport, EuroControl and the London Fire Brigade are tweeting about the incident to keep the public up to date. According to Heathrow Airport's tweet posted at 10:09 BST this morning, both runways were closed and all passengers and crew were evacuated on the northern runway. At 10:23 BST, the London Fire Brigade tweeted that a crew from Heathrow fire station was assisting in the aircraft fire and that they believed the fire was now out. Amateur video of the aircraft showed smoke coming from the plane while in flight and a picture posted to Twitter by one of the passengers showed the aircraft covered in fire-retardant foam after landing.
Planes due to land at Heathrow Airport this morning have been re-routed to nearby airports. Airport officials are also telling travellers to check their flight statuses. To keep up to date with the incident, be sure to keep an eye on Twitter. As in any breaking news, social networking platforms seem to be the best place to look to hear about details as they happen. At the moment, the incident is not thought to be terror related, but the details are being examined. What are your thoughts on this?
