A couple weeks ago, I put together a google map with all of the Michigan bars I'm aware of (and also everything from the spreadsheet that bouje has been maintaining.) The map is here.
Hopefully this will prevent the "where's the Michigan bar in Pittsburgh/Fresno/Topeka/wherever" threads that pop up every week, but if your favorite gameday hangout isn't on here, put it in the thread and let me know. I'll do my best to keep the map up to date.

Reformers are transforming — sometimes eliminating — remedial education at community colleges, but fixing remedial ed will be "vastly more complex" than they think, argues Hunter R. Boylan, who runs the National Center for Developmental Education.
Virginia's community college system raised success rates for unprepared students by lowering math demands for non-STEM majors. Carnegie's Pathways reforms focus on statistics and quantitative reasoning rather than advanced algebra.

With the 2012 Minnesota Vikings training camp just starting, fans are eagerly anticipating an end to the drought of NFL news that plagues the lull between minicamp and the preseason. While player stock is expected to rise and fall over the course of camp, no prediction ever seems too early for prognosticators.
The Vikings have been giving strong indications about how their roster might be shaping up, and fans should be able to take advantage of the bevy of information available about roster developments and the talents of even the least notable of undrafted free agents.
The next several slides will take a look at the roster, position by position, and evaluate which players will secure a spot on the rosters and which rising stars may be invited to the Vikings' practice squad.

I agree, the "Coal Fired" in the name is a bit confusing. Marco's has two identical Acunto ovens in each of the two restaurants. I've been told they use some coal in the oven used for appetizers and perhaps other specialties. I do know they use wood in the other oven used for pizzas.BTW, the Limoncello chicken wings from the oven are fantastic!Since Mark is from Brooklyn, he told me he had multiple samples of water flown in from New York, had it analyzed, and has a machine in the restaurant to duplicate the chemistry of New York water.
Also the waiter told me about the water and I thought he was kidding until he reassured me he was serious. I never had heard the water myth as applied to Neapolitan pizza.

House rules. Did you have any growing up? Perhaps your parents imposed some rules of conduct, dos and don'ts to obey in the house--take your shoes off before walking on the carpet; no elbows on the dining table; don't slam doors.
In the household of God, our heavenly Father has several relational rules for His family that detail how He expects His children to act toward each other. Those rules are necessary elements in any church--so vital that you can gauge the strength or weakness of your church by how well your congregation carries them out.
As part of the family of faith, you'll want to pay close attention to this list of ways God your Father wants you to treat your brothers and sisters in His house, the church.

Undergraduate Minor
A minor in Southeast Asian studies provides a unique opportunity for students to augment their knowledge, language skills and cross-cultural expertise in a region of increasing strategic and global importance. The faculty associates of the Center for Southeast Asian Studies offer a large, well-rounded set of courses with primary Southeast Asian content, which helps students design an interdisciplinary minor that suits their interests and career prospects.
Undergraduate students who minor in Southeast Asian studies are also encouraged to participate in any of several study abroad programs so as to gain firsthand experience in the region. The Center for Southeast Asian Studies strongly encourages undergraduate students studying a Southeast Asian language to consider applying for a Foreign Language and Area Studies (FLAS) fellowship funded by the U.S. Department of Education Title VI Program. To learn more about the undergraduate FLAS fellowship, see Student Funding. Undergraduate students are also encouraged to participate in faculty research projects through the Student Engagement Fund and USOAR (Undergraduate Special Opportunities in Artistry & Research Program) projects.

Remember the Fourth Amendment
U.S. District Judge Shira A. Scheindlin's ruling that the controversial New York City law known as "stop and frisk" is unconstitutional should be regarded with respect.
Law enforcement may need a way to be able to detain or pat down a suspicious person, but this must be done without violating constitutional rights. In her ruling, the judge said the program amounted to "indirect racial profiling" by targeting blacks and Hispanics disproportionate to their populations.
Authorities must balance public safety and preservation of people's rights and freedoms carefully.
That also goes for the federal government. Thanks to leaker Edward Snowden and the Washington Post, the public now knows that the National Security Agency overstepped its authority thousands of times since 2008 by spying on Americans without their knowledge and without warrants. This needs to stop immediately.
Here, complete and unedited, is the text of the Fourth Amendment to the Constitution: "The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized."
That remains the law of the land. If mayors, presidents, police chiefs, cabinet ministers and other public executives continue to violate this or other constitutional guarantees, they can expect ongoing rebukes from the courts. That's why the Judicial Branch is there. Clearly it's needed.

Topic: Haml -- A Great Alternative to RHTML
Is your head is swimming and your eyes blurring from <%= and %> tags? Are you having trouble picking out your document structure among all the markup? Lucky for us, Rails allows for alternate template languages. One that is gaining traction right now is Haml. The reason is that it generates beautiful XHTML every time and your source reflects your document structure.
This all seems good, but what's the catch? Well the answer is pretty much: There is no catch. But, it's a work-style change. First let's look at what an RHTML file and its corresponding Haml file might look like:
The RHTML:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<meta content='text/html; charset=utf-8' http-equiv='Content-Type'>
<%= stylesheet_link_tag('application') %>
<%= javascript_include_tag(:defaults) %>
<title><%= yield :header %></title>

<%= render :partial => '/layouts/shared/nav_links' %>

<%= yield %>

copyright © <%= "#{Date.today.year}." -%> all rights reserved
Now, the Haml:
%meta{"http-equiv"=>"Content-Type", :content=>"text/html; charset=utf-8"}
= stylesheet_link_tag('application')
= javascript_include_tag(:defaults)
%title= yield :title
#banner= image_tag('banner_l.gif', :size => '263x135')
= render :partial => '/layouts/shared/nav_links'
= yield
copyright ©
= "#{Date.today.year}."
all rights reserved
%p= footer_links
If you're like me, you will find the Haml much more concise, and reflective of the structure of the XHTML document. Coincidentally, that makes it easier to associate CSS styles with elements without doing a ton of visual parsing of your code. In Haml's trunk (if you like to live on the edge) is Sass, which is to CSS as Haml is to Rhtml. Sass is best left for a different tutorial.
So, how to get started with Haml? Install the plugin as follows:
script/plugin install http://svn.hamptoncatlin.com/haml/trunk haml
Rails will keep rendering your Rhtml files just fine, but when you write a view file with the .haml extension, Haml kicks in.
Rules of the road:
Haml is space-sensitive! All blocks in Haml are denoted by a two-space increase in indentation. Don't use tabs.
Normal HTML tags are prefixed with the % character. So:
%p now is the time
is the same as
now is
the time
Classes are denoted by a preceding period, so an emphasized paragraph might read:
%p.reallyimportant Listen Up!
IDs are similarly identified by a preceding hash mark:
#menu.item= @menus[:name]
Note in the above, there is an equal-sign right after the tag? That means what follows is Erb! Just like in Rhtml.
If you want to set options, use a hash, as follows:
#menu{:background => "#ffeeee"} I have bad taste in background colors
Finally there is the much-debated issue of silent code in views. Here's the Haml take on that:
- for line_item in @line_items
you have
= line_item[:quantity]
things in your shopping cart.
Notice that there was no need to close the block with an explicit "end". Haml figured that out from the indentation.
I hope this has been a useful introduction to what I find an enormous productivity tool. For further reading, see:

I saw "Zero Dark Thirty" over the weekend, and came out with decidedly mixed reactions.
Yes, it's well done. Fine writing, acting, direction and all that. But if Kathryn Bigelow was going to bring torture into the capture-of-bin-Laden narrative, she should have been more truthful. Because following the narrative of partial facts and dead-end leads is difficult, most viewers, I fear, will come out of the movie assuming torture played a role in nailing Osama.� They won't know from the movie that the heads of the joint Intelligence Committees in Congress say torture had nothing to do with it.� Because the actors playing CIA torturers say nothing out loud about whether the methods they are using are smart or dumb, legal or illegal, moral or not — in one scene they are shown watching an interview with the new president in which Obama declares torture must not be used, their expressionless faces revealing nothing — viewers don't know that CIA torture was fiercely opposed by the FBI, the military and by strong voices inside and outside the Bush administration.
Bigelow says she took no position on torture.� It was part of the story of the hunt for bin Laden, so it had to be in the movie.
Jane Mayer, who wrote the book on the CIA's torture tactics, writes:
The C.I.A.�s actions convulsed the national-security community, leading to a crisis of conscience inside the top ranks of the U.S. government. The debate echoed the moral seriousness of the political dilemma once posed by slavery, a subject that is brilliantly evoked in Steven Spielberg�s new film, �Lincoln�; by contrast, the director of �Zero Dark Thirty,� Kathryn Bigelow, milks the U.S. torture program for drama while sidestepping the political and ethical debate that it provoked. In her hands, the hunt for bin Laden is essentially a police procedural, devoid of moral context. If she were making a film about slavery in antebellum America, it seems, the story would focus on whether the cotton crops were successful."Zero Dark Thirty" is a good movie, but it's mytho-history, and mytho-history is especially dangerous when it shapes public views on contemporary topics not yet settled for much of the electorate, like the question of whether torture is a good tool for keeping the country safe from terrorists.As for those who might say responsible public officials won't let popular cinema fare infect their professional judgements, I remember being stunned by one revelation in "The Dark Side":� The handful of people in the room when Dick Cheney decided to use torture in the War on Terror included no one with experience interrogating criminals.� But several in the White House were big fans of "24," the TV series in which the protagonist hero regularly saved the world by torturing bad guys into revealing where the bombs were buried. That's how mytho-history makes real history.

Delling To Plead Guilty To UI Student's Killing
MOSCOW, ID. - Prosecutors say murder suspect John Delling will plead guilty to killing University of Idaho student David Boss.
Boss was just shy of graduation in the spring of 2007 when he was shot to death inside his off-campus apartment in Moscow.
The Latah County case against Delling will soon be transferred to Boise where he's expected to plead guilty to Boss' murder in the coming weeks.
Delling is accused of a cross-country shooting spree that started in Tucson, Arizona where he shot and wounded Jacob Thompson on March 20. He then killed David Boss in Moscow on March 30, drove south to Boise and shot and killed Boise State University student Bradley Morse in Boise on April 2.
Delling was a former classmate of all three men he targeted and was found with Bradley Morse's car the day after his murder in Sparks, Nevada.
Prosecutors confirm that Delling's decision to plead guilty is not part of any plea agreement and that they intend to seek the maximum sentence of life in prison for Boss' murder.

Tech provost presentation details future of higher ed
HOUGHTON – Michigan Technological University's Senate has recently debated an array of internal matters, including its own relevance as a governing body, but Wednesday Tech Provost Max Seel made sure senators were keeping an eye on the bigger picture.
In his presentation, "The Future of Higher Education: Some Big Picture Questions," Seel pointed out the way Massive Open Online Courses and other readily-available online offerings – many of them free – are threatening the traditional model of higher education.
"We have our internal challenges, but we cannot forget about the big picture," Seel said. "It's important for all of us, for faculty, for administration, for students. If we don't, if we are not able to answer these questions together, we're all marginalized, we all become irrelevant."
Seel pointed to several national headlines to showcase the widespread concern, including the following: "MOOCs will forever change how we see the purpose of higher education," "Harvard, MIT partner to provide free courses through edX," "College degree, no class time required," and "Near-term outlook is bleak for all of higher education, Moody says."
He offered another quote from Arizona State University President Michael M. Crow, which really encapsulates the issue: "The challenge is to 'find ways to massively innovate' without resorting to a higher-education future where 'we let rich kids get taught by professors and poor kids get taught by computer.'"
In his presentation, all 12 slides of which can be downloaded in their entirety at www.admin.mtu.edu/usenate/, Seel gave nine suggestions specific for Tech, which included valuing entrepreneurship and being a place for the arts.
Senators asked several questions following the presentation, including, "How do you see this changing our strategic plan?"
"It will not change the vision we have about 3,000 graduate students and 5,800 undergraduates," Seel said. "What will change is making this blended learning work, because students will demand some of that. How can you make the classroom lecture more meaningful?"
He said the classroom experience of the future will involve more interactive dialogue between student and faculty, and Tech's residential campus experience will always have value since hands-on work in labs, for example, cannot be replicated through online lectures. Seel said Tech has one big advantage: "Our niche is defined."
Senator Don Beck said universities need to get hard data to support the arguments, and Seel said Tech had a 93 percent graduation rate (substantially higher than the University of Phoenix, for example) and starting salaries among the highest among similar universities.
"I think you're spot on on our niche being defined and on the point … that we should focus on the hands-on small projects, things you can't do online," Senator Pete Moran said. "The … danger we should strive to avoid is, perhaps if we're committed to that being our reason for existence, not diluting our brand by offering MOOC-like programs that then would tend for other people to put us in the same categories."
Seel said it will be a balancing act in the future, but ignoring the technological advances would be at Tech's peril as well.

Jazz from Caramoor.. Rhonda Hamilton hosts highlights on Labor Day at 1pm
August 31, 2012. Posted by Becca Pulliam.Add new comment | Filed under: Caramoor, dee dee bridgewater, Gretchen Parlato, Jazz Alive, kenny barron, Live Music, roy haynes, The Cookers

Fine and Mellow (Holiday) Roy Haynes Fountain of Youth Band with Jaleel Shaw, alto sax; Martin Bejerano, piano; David Wong, bass
James (Pat Metheny) All Blues (Miles Davis)
Here's the story:
It's all play and no work this Labor Day from 1-3pm on WBGO 88.3 and wbgo.org and the Caramoor Jazz Festival Network*, with music from the 19th annual Caramoor Jazz Festival near Katonah, NY, in Surround Sound.
Here are all five groups in one 30-second spot. Click and listen.
First up, The Cookers are the hard bop champions, led by trumpeter David Weiss with music by band members Billy Harper on tenor and Cecil McBee on bass.
Multi-award winning, always working, young Gretchen Parlato's instrument is her quiet, rhythmic voice. On "Alô, Alô," she sings in Portuguese and adds hand percussion. Her refrain from "Better Than" seems like a personal statement and I love it: "There's a sky full of stars so just be who you are…"
Pianist Kenny Barron performs alone. Gershwin, Porter, Strayhorn, Monk – Barron delivers each on-the-spot with ideas, clarity and swing. Nothing is wasted. I spotted pianists from the other bands at the festival in the wings, watching and listening to Kenny Barron.
The album Eleanora Fagan: To Billie with Love from Dee Dee won the Grammy Award for Best Jazz Vocal. Onstage at Caramoor, Bridgewater celebrates Billie Holiday with three songs, arrangements by Musical Director Edsel Gomez. "Lady Sings the Blues" is upbeat, and he puts a new hook on "A Foggy Day." Craig Handy shines on sax on Billie and Dee Dee's "Fine and Mellow."
The Roy Haynes Fountain of Youth Band is one for all and all for one. Haynes' feet dance at the drums, his cymbals shimmer, he snaps and crackles on the snare. He speaks the language of six and a half decades of jazz drums, and the flow is pure Roy Haynes. He closes the festival with "All Blues" by Miles Davis, a request from the audience.
Producer Jim Luce has programmed nineteen consecutive summer weekends of jazz at the Caramoor Center of Music and The Arts. We thank Jim (former WBGO morning man!), Managing Director Paul Rosenblum and everyone for supporting Jazz from Caramoor . Information about year-round programming is available at caramoor.org.
*Traveling on Labor Day? Check out Jazz from Caramoor on the Caramoor Jazz Festival Network, including WICN Worcester, MA; WNCU Raleigh-Durham; WCLK, Atlanta; WUSF Tampa; WDNA Miami; WCBE Columbus OH; KCCK Cedar Rapids IA; KBEM Minneapolis; KTSU Houston; and KMHD Portland. Broadcast times vary.

Setting your novels in a place you love
It took exactly 12 weeks to decide I wanted to make a living writing – the 12 weeks I spent working as a soil scientist in Gainesville, Fla. I was 20, with a boss who told me every Friday, "Only 35 years to retirement." Maybe that was his way of hinting that this was not the career for me. (Soil science involves a lot of digging – in the hot sun.)
Time for a new plan.
I got a column in the local paper and started journalism graduate school. After a series of part-time newspaper jobs, I turned to the ads in the back of Editor & Publisher. One week I applied for jobs as farm editor, religion editor and sports editor – all of which I was equally unqualified for.
One editor responded, from a small newspaper in a town in the Adirondacks in Saranac Lake, N.Y. I arrived for my interview in what seemed the dead of winter, stepping off the small plane at a tiny airport into a world that was white as far as the eye could see. It was cold in a way I'd never experienced.
They offered me the job as sports editor.
I took it.
Never mind that this was an area where sports were big – with three high schools, two colleges, softball teams, three-day sled dog races, canoe races, Winter Carnival competitions, rugby tournaments. With the Olympic Center nearby, there was luge, bobsled, biathlon, ski jumping, horse show competition, boxing, triathlon – and more. It was my job to cover them all.
Never mind that my sports experience was limited to competing in bicycle and running races, and writing a string of sports features. I'd been to exactly one college football game.
I worked the way you can work only when you're in your 20s and have already flubbed one career and don't want to flub another. I bought a book that detailed the rules of various sports. I went from event to event, shooting hockey from the penalty box, basketball from under the hoop, football from the sidelines. With this many sports to cover, understanding the nuances of game play was neither possible nor necessary. I took a lot of photos, got quotes from coaches and spelled names right. Some days I worked nearly around the clock, coming in before dawn on Monday morning to write features and develop film and lay out my pages. Nearing deadline, the press room guys would stare at me through the window in the door while I hustled through my last page.
Winters seemed brutal. Bit by bit I assembled an essential wardrobe: wool-lined Sorel boots, long johns, insulated gloves, head warmer, wool hat, thick coat. I learned to carry cardboard to stand on at outside events for insulation. I kept a sleeping bag in the car in case I got stranded. I put a lot of miles on my car and shot a lot of film. I discovered coffee. I ate on the run. I was thinner than I'd ever become from biking or running.
I loved it.
Toward the end of my second year, someone sent one of my bobsled articles to a magazine that reprinted it and sent me a check that was more than I earned in a week. Light dawned. I couldn't keep up this pace and didn't want to cut corners, so not too much later I resigned to write freelance. Then after a few years, I went off to other places to work at magazines, at other papers, as a book editor.
But I never forgot this place I loved and the people who made me feel I belonged for the first time in my life.
So when I sat down to write a novel, years later, this was where it had to be set.
Sara J. Henry was sports editor of the Enterprise from 1984 to 1986. Her first novel, "Learning to Swim," opens in Lake Placid; the sequel, "A Cold and Lonely Place" (Crown, published Feb. 5), begins on the ice of Lake Flower during the building of the Saranac Lake Winter Carnival Ice Palace. She lives in southern Vermont.

Champions Gate was successful in his turf debut, turning
away a stubborn Baby Blake after a race long duel to win the $59,006 feature
Friday at Hollywood Park.
The 7-10 favorite in a race reduced to six starters after
the scratches of Got Even and 2-1 morning line favorite Sweet Swap, Champions
Gate prevailed by a half-length in 1:09.94 for six furlongs.
Both Got Even and Sweet Swap, a full brother to Sidney's
Candy, were reported sick.
Ridden by leading jockey Joel Rosario, Champions Gate, a 2-year-old
gelded son of Pure Prize and the Northern Afleet mare Amadamprez, won for the
second time in four starts.
Bred in California by owner Don Dizney, Champions Gate
increased his earnings to $97,240 for trainer Mike Machowsky.
Shortening up after disappointing as the 19-10 favorite when
fifth in the California Cup Juvenile Oct. 29 at Santa Anita, Champions Gate
broke well to establish the lead with 6-1 shot and newly-blinkered Baby Blake
in close pursuit. Those two drew clear from the rest of the field with
Champions Gate always maintaining the advantage.
In providing Rosario with his second win of the day,
enabling him to take a 25-23 lead over Rafael Bejarano in the jockey standings
with seven days remaining in the Autumn meet, Champions Gate paid $3.40, $2.40
and $2.10.
Baby Blake, who was making his first start since June 11 for
trainer Mike Pender, returned $5.40 and $3.40. He finished 3 ¾ lengths in front
of Heart Fever. The show price on Heat Fever was $2.60. Completing the order of
finish were Runstevierun, the 5-2 second choice, Crimson Giant and Super Candy.
Joe Talamo and Martin Garcia also won twice Friday. Garcia,
who won the third with Small But Mighty and the fifth with Adios Problemas, is
third in the standings with 22 wins.
Mike Mitchell doubled, winning back-to-back with Small But
Mighty and Hurricane Lake, to move into a tie with Bob Baffert for the lead in
the trainer standings. Baffert and Mitchell each have 13 victories.

New Safety Standard for New Glass Front Fireplaces
Starting January 1, 2015, all newly manufactured glass-fronted, gas appliances - that means fireplaces and heaters - will require a protective barrier if their glass surface temperature exceeds 172 degrees Farenheit. This safety standard requires that the barrier must be in place when the product is installed.
This new standard follows more than four years of research, testing and discussions on how best to reduce the potential hazard posed by hot glass surfaces to at-risk people, especially children. By attaching a barrier to the glass front, contact with hot surfaces becomes less likely.

Council revisits library, softball association items
MARSHALL – A pair of past items of business came back before the Marshall City Council on Tuesday night. Council members considered decisions that would affect the Marshall-Lyon County Library in one item and beer sales at Marshall softball events in another.
A question of whether to provide the library with additional funds to help implement new staff pay standards came back to the council at its regular meeting. Previously, the council had voted to contribute two-thirds of the needed funds if Lyon County contributed the remaining third. The Lyon County Board, however, said no to the proposal last week.
About $29,000 is needed to implement pay increases for library staff, in compliance with scales set by a city compensation study completed in January. The study found that some full-time library staff have taken on increased work responsibilities, while other staff members are being paid below the study's new recommended level.
Marshall City Administrator Ben Martig said council members should consider what to do next. The library will still need to implement the pay increases, but the city doesn't necessarily have to provide the money for it.
The library uses city standards for determining employee pay, Martig said, but it is administrated separately from the city. The library board would make the ultimate decisions as to how to fund the new pay increases.
Council members said they weren't keen on paying two-thirds of the additional funding without the county's participation.
Council member Jennie Hulsizer said the library currently has about $322,000 in reserves and $51,000 in undesignated funds.
"Are you suggesting the entire amount come from reserves?" asked Marshall Mayor Bob Byrnes.
"I think it's up to (the library board)," Hulsizer said. However, she said it could be possible for the library to use reserves for the pay raises this year and take the increase into consideration for its 2014 budget cycle and funding requests. "I don't think we would leave them in a hard place."
Council member John DeCramer said even if the library used reserve funds, some of that money would have originally come from the city. He was "leaning toward taking no action at this point," he said.
Council consensus was not to take action on the matter.
Later in the meeting, the council re-examined an issue it had tabled earlier this spring. Council member Glenn Bayerkohler had requested more information on the Marshall Softball Association, after the organization had applied for a temporary license to sell 3.2 percent malt liquor. Bayerkohler questioned whether the association was an official non-profit organization and whether that would affect whether the city could issue the license.
Marshall City Attorney Dennis Simpson said Bayerkohler's concerns turned out to be correct. In order to be granted a liquor license, the Marshall Softball Association has to be a registered non-profit. The association can become registered, but the process will take time.
City Clerk Tom Meulebroeck said the Marshall Softball Association withdrew its application for the beer license. In the meantime, he said the Marshall Baseball Association, which is a registered non-profit, agreed to take on the responsibilities for two beer vending licenses. One would be for Legion Field over the summer, and one would be for the softball complex during the summer.
"Are you fairly comfortable with having more than one site?" Bayerkohler asked.
Simpson replied that he had no problems with the requests, as both licenses were for specific times and places only.
The council voted unanimously to pass the Legion Field license and 6-1 in favor of the softball complex license. Council member Mike Boedigheimer cast the vote against.
In other business Tuesday, council members voted to put a temporary moratorium on fees to apply for parking variances for certain kinds of businesses. Marshall Public Works Director Glenn Olson said the fee moratorium would be in effect while city staff work on alternatives to Marshall's current requirements for number of parking spaces, which local business owners have criticized as excessive.
Olson said city staff members also disagree with the current codes.
"It just seems to be overkill," he said.
Working out new code requirements would take some time, Olson said. In the meantime, fees won't be required for parking variance applications for manufacturing, motor vehicle sales and self-storage businesses. Those three areas of business seem like they have been hardest hit by current parking requirements, he said.

Stoddard Art Leture with John Zinsser
Zinsser was born in New York City in 1961, and moved to New Haven as a young child when his father, writer and editor WIlliam Zinsser, accepted a teaching position at Yale. John attended an arts high school and was an American History major at Yale with a concentration in art history.
Zinsser first exhibited his paintings in 1981. A major influence of his work is the abstract expressionist movement. After graduation, he moved back to New York, where he had the opportunity to meet and work with several important abstract expressionist painters. He has devoted himself to his art since then and currently maintains a studio in the Greenpoint section of Brooklyn.
Zinsser's work has been part of major national and international solo and group exhibitions. He has lectured widely on the topic of contemporary art practices and teaches at New School University and New York Academy of Art. Zinsser is the co-founder of the Journal of Contemporary American Art and a contributing writer for numerous publications, including Art in America and Flash Art. He is the nephew of Edward and Nancy Walworth, who were long-time New Canaan residents.

A new study links heart attack risk and painkillers in high doses.
Taking high doses of painkillers like ibuprofen or diclofenac long-term can increase the risk of heart attack more than a third according to a study reported in The Lancet medical journal. Researchers conducted a study into a class of painkillers called non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) that revealed high doses of the drugs could possibly increase the risk a heart attack or stroke. This means for every 1,000 people with an average risk of heart disease who take high doses of diclofenac or ibuprofen for a year, about three extra would have an avoidable heart attack and one those would be fatal. Professor Colin Baigent, of Britain�s Oxford University, led the study and emphasized that the risks are mostly pertinent to people who experience chronic pain who need to take high doses (150mg of diclofenac or 2400mg of ibuprofen) of these painkillers for long periods of time. These risks are relative to the individual�s existing risk of heart disease. The study also showed that all NSAIDs doubled the risk of heart failure and generated a two- to four-time increased risk of major upper gastrointestinal complications. One particular NSAID, naproxen, didn�t seem to add to the risk of heart attacks. Researchers believe this may be due to the fact the drug has protective effects that could balance out any extra heart risks. In addition to decreasing the use of NSAIDs, here are some additional ways to reduce your heart attack risk. � Brought to you by: Spry Living

VCA Wakefield Animal Hospital Testimonials
We value feedback from our clients. Please share your story with us by writing a testimonial.
Poodle Rescue of New England
-Laura Klein Plunkett from Somerville, MA
Pet Name: Nicky
For many years, Poodle Rescue of New England has trusted VCA Wakefield Animal Hospital to provide our rescue Poodles with high-quality, experienced care. Rescue dogs have often experienced neglect, abandonment, and even abuse. Many require extensive medical care. The VCA staff understands the special issues that face rescue dogs, and they try to create a comfortable and low-stress environment in the examination rooms. The veterinarians always take the time to carefully examine each dog and provide us with detailed explanations of appropriate treatment options. They don't hesitate to step forward and offer assistance at critical times. For example, the hospital provides medical boarding for dogs that are not immediately able to be placed in foster homes, and the VCA staff has volunteered to provide at-cost spay/neuter procedures when we rescued a large number of dogs from a breeder. VCA Wakefield's compassion and generous assistance enables us to continue to provide our rescue dogs with the care they need to be ready for placement in their forever homes.
President, PAWS
-Susan DiMeo from Reading, MA
Pet Name: Four kittens
The VCA Wakefield doctors, manager, and staff have been instrumental in helping PAWS to save hundreds of lives. Despite the fact that our PAWS pets are technically homeless, and that we are a non-profit, all-volunteer organization, VCA always provides top-notch services and promotes what they believe is best for each individual animal and situation that we bring to them. Having partnered with VCA Wakefield for almost ten years now, I am confident that together, we will continue to improve the lives of our local animals-in-need and, when applicable, their humans. Thank you, VCA, for always being there for us!
Pet Owner
-Chuck Willand from Reading, MA
Pet Name: Sheila
For our collection of particularly needy animals, VCA Wakefield fulfills their veterinary requirements with professionalism and compassion. VCA's medical and administrative staff respond quickly to our questions and requests for appointments, handling both emergencies and routine examinations promptly. The docs and techs work together as a dedicated team, consulting frequently with each other as necessary to determine a correct diagnosis and appropriate course of therapy. As a result, pets whose lives would otherwise have been drastically shortened have enjoyed healthy lives well beyond our expectations.
President, House Rabbit Network
-Suzanne Trayhan from Wilmington, MA
Pet Name: Tanya
VCA Wakefield has several exotic veterinarians who have taken
wonderful care of our rabbits. They handle all our advanced cases
that most other hospitals cannot treat and always seem eager to learn.
Responsive and sensitive staff
-Elisabeth Pelletier from Hampton Falls, NH
Pet Name: Wink
VCA Wakefield's staff is the most responsive and sensitive collection of people from the office staff right on up to the doctors. Dr. Rousseau and his staff have provided my family pets with the greatest of care. I have always been comfortable discussing treatment options and have truly felt that my ideas have been heard. I have relocated to southern NH, but continue to travel to VCA Wakefield for my pets care.
Terrific Consumer Experience
-Dan Salera from Ipswich, MA
Pet Name: Boo
I was unexpectedly at VCA Wakefield Animal Hospital this morning with a sick kitty. We have to wait to see if the blood tests can tell us why he's not been in the mood to eat or drink for the last three days.
In the meantime, though, I wanted to let you know what a terrific "consumer experience" Boo and I had. When I called this morning, the woman I spoke to was understanding and was able to get me in for a 10:00 am appt, the person at the front desk was welcoming and empathetic, Rebecca was terrific taking our information and handling an uncooperative Boo, and Dr. Simonelli took her time with us, provided some insights, and left me feeling less panicky.
We're all too quick to complain when our experiences are unsatisfactory; so, I wanted to take a moment to share a good experience with your shop. Well done.
Staff And Doctors
-Jenn from Lynn, MA
Pet Name: MAX
I love VCA of Wakefield I have been taking my pug max here for about 5 or 6 years now, he is 10 years old. The care they give my dog is wonderful. Dr. Rousseau is the BEST, he makes max and I feel comfortable. Thank you all for what you do.
My Bun
-Tracie Dudevoir from Lynn, MA
Pet Name: Bun
I have been taking my Bunny to VCA for a little over a year now and I just want to say, everytime I call them, they are helpful with advice and always willing to see her, I had to have her seen last Friday and they fit her in within an hour, the staff and Dr's are wonderful, I love taking my precious little Bun there.
Phantom's Story
-Stephanie from Saugus, MA
Pet Name: Phantom
I first met Dr. Kruse when my 4-year-old Rex bunny developed a lump above his eye. He was diagnosed with a form of cancer rarely seen in rabbits. Dr. Kruse's care and compassion helped me get through this terrible time. She operated on him and removed a large portion of the tumor, but the cancer had spread too far. My little boy made it till just after his 5th birthday. Dr. Kruse gave me one more month with him and I will cherish this for the rest of my life. She has never forgotten about his case. My bunnies have always liked her too, often running around her feet while waiting their turn to be seen. Thanks
My Guinea Pig Max
-Sharon Richards from Nashua, NH
Pet Name: Max
I just wanted to send a thank you to VCA Wakefield. My Max was so sick and I didn't have much money, and you still allowed me to go in and try to help him. It didn't end the way I would have liked, but I wanted to thank the staff for their kindness and understanding. I am broken hearted about my little friend, but I know if anything could have been done, your team of professionals would have done it. Thank you again.

In addition to being one of the most comprehensive portraits of Bruce Springsteen ever published, Peter Ames Carlin's bio Bruce (review here) is also marked by an unprecedented number of personal stories, tidbits and revelations that are bound to come as a surprise to even the most ardent Springsteen fans. I know I uttered� "Wait … What?" more than a few times.
One anecdote that's gotten a lot of press since the book came out is the story about a young Springsteen being pursued (unsuccessfully) by Janis Joplin — just think,� if that had come to pass he could have written a song about her like Leonard Cohen did. But it's far from the only surprise to be found in Bruce — below (SPOILER ALERT!) are 10 that I found particularly fascinating:
1) Springsteen almost played at Woodstock: Carlin quotes his manager, Carl "Tinker" West: �If I could have had Springsteen at Woodstock, it would have been all over. Years of bulls**t totally avoided. But the band was booked, we needed the money, and that was that.� On the plus side, wherever they did play was probably much less muddy.
2) Bruce was the Pied Piper of Freehold: Carlin tells a story about Springsteen playing a rented spinet piano on the back of a truck as he and his manager brought it home from the music store, the sound of the music drawing all the kids in the neighborhood out to chase the truck down the street. At which point Mike Appel threw rocks at them and yelled at them to get off the lawn. OK, I made up that last part.
3) In 1971, Bruce dreamed of fronting an "R&B style rock 'n' roll orchestra."� If you've seen any shows on the Wrecking Ball tour, you know that dream finally came true, a mere 41 years later.
4) Adele Springsteen was amazed that her son didn't plan to change his name when he got a record contract. Whether she was concerned that people would mistake him for Rick Springfield is not revealed.
5) Columbia may have pushed retailers to trade in their copies of The Wild, The Innocent and the E Street Shuffle in exchange for Billy Joel's Piano Man, which they felt had more commercial potential. (And they were right, of course … I dare you to try to find one song on The Wild … that contains a reference to an "instant pleasure dome.")
6) After the release of Born to Run, Garry Tallent was still making less than the bass player in a Bruce Springsteen tribute band. (Who was presumably already making less than all the other people in the Bruce Springsteen tribute band, because, let's face it — he was the bass player.)
7) Not only was Nebraska recorded on a home tape player, it was a home tape player that had been completely waterlogged during a boat trip with Garry up the Navesink River.� This was not good for poor Chuck Plotkin, who recalls "sitting around in a hotel room crying" out of frustration while trying to mix the album. I swear I did NOT make up that last part.
8) CBS honcho Walter Yentikoff may have literally wet himself out of excitement upon hearing Born in the USA for the first time. (Come on, like you didn't.)
9) Sting is the E Street Band's Yoko Ono — Carlin writes that seeing Sting's post-Police success helped prompt Springsteen to seek out new collaborators in the '90s. Fortunately he didn't follow Sting's other post-Police career arc, the one involving lutes and being pompous.
10) Prior to recording Wrecking Ball, Springsteen recorded 30 or 40 tracks that were "like nothing Bruce had ever done," Carlin writes. "It's stunning, really. Like Aaron Copland, the American landscape style," Ron Aniello told him. Wait, the Police's drummer?? Oh, sorry, that's Stewart Copeland.
And those are just a small sampling — you're missing out if you don't read the whole thing. Just be careful not to wet yourself.

Topic: Cant make my test to work...
I have this class:
class ForSale < ActiveRecord::Base
belongs_to :user
def sold!(sold_at = DateTime.now)
if self.sold_on.nil?
self.sold_on = sold_at
user.reload #<-------this doesnt work????
false #add error message
and this unit test:
def test_sold
guy = users(:guy)
rebel= for_sales(:guy_rebel)
assert_equal 0, guy.sales.size
#guy.reload <--- this is the problematic line!!!!
assert_equal 1, guy.sales.size
My last assertion doesnt work unless I reload the variable (commented line). So here are my questions:
- is there a better way to do the sold! function?
- why the user.reload code doesnt seem to work, but if I call reload on the User object (guy) it works.
- logicaly, keeping the User up to date when an item is sold should be the job of the ForSale class. So how can I do this?
Thanks a lot!

USDA grant to help Athens, Morgan, Perry county food hubs
The Columbus Dispatch - March 20, 2014 06:25 PM
The U.S. Agriculture Department's Doug O'Brien visited Athens County today to announce a $198,000 grant to help Rural Action and the Southeast Ohio Food Hub Network distribute more locally grown foods.
"Residents in rural communities in Appalachian Ohio have fewer economic and job opportunities compared to other regions," said O'Brien, agriculture deputy undersecretary, in a statement. "This project... will not only increase the availability of nutritious, locally-produced foods for consumers, but it will also create additional jobs in the food sector for area businesses."
The Southeast Ohio Food Hub Network comprises the Chesterhill Produce Auction (Morgan County), the ACEnet Nelsonville Business Incubator (Athens County) and the Village of Somerset Farmers' Market (Perry County).
Rural Action, the nonprofit that will provide technical assistance and infrastructure to the three emerging food hubs, estimates the USDA Rural Development's Rural Business Enterprise Grant could help retain more than 275 food-sector jobs and create as many as 65 new jobs and businesses.

Pre Crop Challenge!
November 23, 2012 by Ellen
Filed under Core Blog, May Arts Ribbon
Tomorrow is THE DAY! BUT…we have a surprise for you 🙂
Anyone scrapping tonight??? How about a pre-crop challenge from Designer Shaunte Wadley?
Now this might just be the cutest stocking stuffer EVER!
Shaunte used a piece of the David Tutera Celebrate Cardmaking System Step 2 Layer and, folded it in half and adhered it over the top of the Chapstick.
Next, embellish! A David Tutera Celebrate STep 3 Tag would be perfect. Yep…everything comes PRE-EMBOSSED for you! Just pop 'em out of the package sand and you are ready to go. Even the birdie is from the David Tutera Celebrate step 3 line, too!
Last, but not least, a fun sentiment. Chappy Holidays! Wouldn't this be cute for Chappy Birthday, too?
SO…for this challenge, you need to create a small gift item. It doesn't have to be chapstick but it can be any little stocking stuffer you want…it just needs to be some kind of itty bitty cute little gift. We will post all the rules tomorrow morning and a master challenge list for you.
The winner of this challenge will win a BRAND NEW David Tutera Celebrate cardmaking system goodie pack so you can easily recreate fun projects like this.
Please note you can use ANY Core for this project, not just the David Tutera Celebrate line. If you have our Cut & Emboss collection, that size would be perfect for this, too. If all fails, cut yours down to size or use some scraps.
Ribbon is from our friends over at May Arts.

text: While weather events like Hurricane Sandy grab national headlines, they aren't the only threat to transmission grids. The Northeast Blackout of 2003, one of the largest in U.S. history, is said to have been caused by unpruned foliage and a faulty alarm system that failed to alert control room operators of the need to reroute power. India's power outage of 2012 was caused by congestion and an inadequate infrastructure. Despite the lessons learned from events like these, stresses on the transmission grid are only going to get worse. Experts cite a number of factors.

Any chance it will be available outside the i-sphere at some point?
It looks great Bill. I knew the photography would be topnotch, and I can't wait to try the waffles and onion rings. CL
Is it possible to make it available to Iphones?
iBooks not supported [yet] on iPhone. Sorry.
I made the waffles from Bills book this morning, and let me say THEY ARE INCREDIBLE. After eating them, Im not sure Ive ever eaten a waffle before.
Bill, I downloaded the book but I'm not sure if it's coming down correctly. The first page "The Starter" says "See the movie on this page for the steps I use, which are summarized below." There is no movie on this page or any steps. The next page goes right into the recipes. Am I missing something?
Congrats Bill! Ill download it today and give it a spin. Thanks for sharing this with us. Let me know if you want help doing a live video project.Chau
