Let me start this post by saying ARRRGHHH!
So, Macca did a show in Lincoln, NE Monday night. I'm about 45 minutes away in Omaha. For reasons I won't go into, I wasn't able to go to the show.
On Monday morning, I wake up an learn that Macca spent Sunday evening in Omaha. He and friend Warren Buffett went to an Italian restaurant for dinner, then to a near-by ice cream store, then sat on a bench outside and hung out talking a while. All of this occurred in my neighborhood, two blocks from where I live. While I was watching TV Sunday night and prepping for the work week, Macca was two blocks away, hanging out in public. Hence, the AARRRRGGGHHH. He usually turns up in a city the day of the show; it never occurred to me he'd be hanging in Omaha the day before, let alone be in my neighborhood.
Now to the 3 degrees of separation: I have a friend who is good friends with Warren (as a result of that friendship, I actually have played bridge with Warren and Bill Gates). So: me to my friend (1) to Warren (2) to Macca .... 3 degrees of separation. I've often wondered how many degrees Macca is from me. I never thought it was as few as 3. I didn't know about his friendship with Warren.
Choice of restaurant was clearly in deference to Macca. When Warren's in town, he often goes to a favorite steak place -- not appropriate for Macca. Reports are that Macca was very relaxed and friendly. He and Warren waited in line for ice cream just like everyone else. No line jumping, LOL.
Had I been there, I would might have been tempted to approach, re-introducing myself to Warren ("Hi, it's nice to see you again, Mr. Buffett...we played bridge together at....") and then engaging Macca in conversation, as well.
I was already sad about missing the Lincoln show, and sadness was compounded by missing Macca's presence in my part of town.
Sad days, indeed.

Nickname for hottest season originates high in the sky
Politics is not the only thing heating up this election year. The first six months of 2012 were the warmest first half of any year on record, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. And the heat may just be beginning as we settle into the period traditionally known as the �dog days of summer.� In the United States, the �dog days�� are considered to persist for four to six weeks between mid-July and early September; in Western Europe they last from about the July 3 to Aug. 11, according to Bobby Boyd, a meteorologist for the National Weather Service office in Old Hickory, Tenn. �Dog days of summer generally refer to the period of greatest heat in summer,� Boyd says. The season gets its name from the rising of the dog star, Sirius, in conjunction with the sun, reports Space.com, the world�s No. 1 source for space news. Ancient Greeks, Romans and Egyptians figured that the sun�s heat coupled with the warmth from the brightest star in the night sky created extremely hot and sultry summer days. Degrees of danger Heat is the No. 1 cause of weather-related deaths in the United States. On average, excessive heat claims more lives each year than floods, lightning, tornadoes and hurricanes combined, according the National Weather Service. Since late June, over 66 people have died in the U.S. from exposure to the excessive heat, NBC Nightly News reports, most recently taking lives in Wisconsin and Chicago. Extreme heat can cause the body�s normal cooling system, sweating, to become �overloaded,� according to the Centers for Disease Control. This sudden inability of the body to cool itself causes the internal temperature to rise rapidly, sometimes to upwards of 106 degrees. Infants, young children, the elderly, overweight and those who are sick or on certain medicines are most prone to the effects of extreme heat. Romans believed the excessive heat caused laziness and made dogs go wild. More recent cultures claim the hot weather frays tempers more easily. National Geographic cites the July 1967 riots in Detroit and Chicago as incidences of heat-induced hotheadedness. Boyd is less-than certain, saying, �after 95 degrees even the criminals are ready to cool off.� Let cooler heads prevail. If possible, stay indoors, keep cool, hydrated and out of the sun during the hottest parts of the day. Scorching season Of the 50 states, 40 set their high temperature records during the �dog days,� according to a NOAA report. Besides the infamous heat, Boyd says the �dog days� are associated with the greatest frequency of thunderstorms. The greater number of thunderstorms is due to the warmer temperatures and large amounts of moisture ascending into the atmosphere, especially in humid regions like the Southeast.

The Challenge of Making the Abstract Useful
Enterprise architecture is kind of like a health care plan: You don't appreciate it unless you've had experience with a terrible one. The problem is, of course, that enterprise architecture, like security, touches everything to do with business technology, but unlike security, has little popular mindshare with folks outside of IT.
Enterprise architecture has come a long way since the days of "code on the fly" so prevalent in organizations' first silo applications. Data architecture? What data architecture? Business process? They'll use what we give them, and like it! Ah, those were the bad old days.
Career enterprise architects have no doubt watched many successes and failures at organizations, because it's poor enterprise architecture that's at the heart of the staggering number of ERP project failures in the last decade. (Specifically, we now know that a major success factor of an ERP implementation is a focus on business process.) The problem is, your boss may not know that, but may know all about the pushback from business executives affected by changes in business process.
And, like good design for printed matter, those paying the bills sometimes think that if they shell out the bucks for apps and databases, the architecture should be included-that somehow, architecture is a luxury. Therefore, enterprise architects must deliver and communicate that they have delivered. Unlike some other fields, where certifications and technology skills rule the day (66% of respondents to InformationWeek's 2012 State of IT Staffing Survey who cite enterprise architecture as a top area of staffing increase say certifications aren't important), the ambitious enterprise architect, while technically expert, will also have good communication skills and a penchant for usefulness in order to optimally succeed. (R5801012)
Survey Name InformationWeek State of IT Staffing Survey
Survey Date July 2012
Region North America
Number of Respondents 76 respondents citing enterprise architecture as a top area of staffing increase
Purpose To gauge enterprise architecture staffing trends in the enterprise

Mountain Trek
The Mountain Trek program is designed specifically for the sons and daughters of Training Center conference participants. These treks coincide with the conference center schedules, departing on Sunday afternoon and returning Saturday morning. A conference participant may bring one additional Scout or Venturer for each family member on a trek.
Mountain Trek crews hike 20 to 30 miles into the backcountry, where participants stay at several camps that offer a variety of exciting programs along with time to relax and enjoy the natural beauty of Philmont. Participants are organized into male or female crews, and are supervised by experienced Mountain Trek rangers.
The Mountain Trek program is available to PTC participants' children (boys and girls) who are 14 years of age OR 13 years of age and completed the 8th grade. Participants are organized into male or female crews and placed under the supervision of two of Philmont's highly qualified rangers. Groups with fewer than 10 participants will be combined to form a coed crew.
Routes for Mountain Treks are planned to meet the abilities and experience of the crew. All participants must meet the minimum age and health requirements and are under the responsibility of the conference participants.
Download/Print Packing List
Philmont will provide all crew equipment (including tents, cooking gear, and food). Participants should bring only the equipment on the personal equipment list. Refer to the Tips for more detailed descriptions of key items.
A Philmont Health and Medical Record (signed by a physician within the previous 12 months and a parent or guardian) is required. Philmont provides crew gear, but participants will need the personal gear listed in the Mountain Trek equipment list.
Once registered online, Mountain Trek participants will receive an in-depth application in their registration packet. Each Mountain Trek participant must complete and mail this Mountain Trek application to Philmont prior to arrival. This form includes additional information that is needed by the Mountain Trek rangers. The registration fee is 30 days prior to your arrival at PTC.

DANIEL SMITH World's Best Acrylic Gesso, Black, Quart
Daniel Smith Acrylic Gesso-Six Colors Our gesso is heavily pigmented, thick and brushable. Use two coats to cover instead of three! When you paint with oils or acrylics, using high-quality materials to prepare your canvas or board is as important as the paint you choose. Acrylic gesso has proven to be more flexible than any of the oil grounds. It does not contain oil acids which tend to deteriorate cotton or linen canvas fibers, so an undersizing, such as rabbit skin glue, is not necessary, and should not be used. At Daniel Smith we have developed six acrylic gessoes: White, Black, Stone Gray, Buff Titanium, Venetian Red and Gold. Recommended as painting grounds for acrylics, oils and alkyds, they are more highly pigmented than most and require only two coats for adequate coverage, instead of three. The very high grade acrylic emulsion we use in our gesso provides optimal flexibility and durability. Acrylic gesso cleans up with water.

More:Special Envoy for Sudan Princeton Lyman Convokes Washington Diplomatic Corps in Support of North-South Peace
Ambassador Princeton Lyman, U.S. Special Envoy for Sudan, addressed the current situation in Sudan during a press briefing in Washington, D.C., on July 1, 2011. Ambassador Lyman said:
"Let me just bring you up to date on where we are and what's going to happen in the next nine days.
"Let me go back a little bit because I think it's important to put it in perspective. If you go back to last summer when there was a great deal of concern about the peace process in Sudan and whether it was in danger between the North and the South and the then-still pending referendum on whether the South would secede, you'll recall the President went to the UN and led, in a meeting of heads of state, about the process in bringing a lot of international attention to that, and a lot of work subsequent to that that resulted in the referendum coming off on January 9th peacefully and effectively and recognized by the Government of Sudan that the South was in fact going to become independent.
"Since then, a lot of the issues that have to be negotiated between the two -- the negotiations have been up and down, and frankly, got thrown off badly by fighting that erupted in two areas -- Abyei and the state of Southern Kordofan. And much of the last several weeks has been spent by the White House, by the Secretary, by myself and others on bringing those situations back under control. And at least Abyei is now under control and an agreement on the withdrawal of forces has been reached, and the Ethiopians are going to be reinforcing the UN in Abyei. On Southern Kordofan, there is a political framework agreement, but work is still going on on the cessation of hostilities, and we continue to press very hard for more humanitarian access to the people who've been displaced.
"Having said that, I think that, in fact, we are going to see on July 9th a effective celebratory event in Juba when the South becomes officially independent. And we just heard the other day from the foreign minister in -- from Khartoum saying once again the -- that Khartoum will be the first country to recognize the South's independence and to establish diplomatic presence there.
"So I think that is still fundamentally on track, but there are a number of issues they did not resolve in time and which still are out there. Those include two major issues, and that is the degree to which there will be a tapering off rather than a sudden stopping of the oil revenue shared between the South and the North, and the permanent status of Abyei. I don't think those will be resolved fully by July 9th for reasons having to do in part by the need to withdraw the Sudanese troops from Abyei. But it is important that the two agree that there will not be an interruption in the oil sector, and that there will be a firm timetable for resolving those two big issues.
"We do think it's very important that assurances be given by July 9th to the more than one million Southerners living in the North that they will not be stateless, that their situation will not be abruptly put in threat, and that they won't trigger any kind of panic. And we need to see those assurances by July 9th. We also want to see by then the firming up of an agreement they've just reached on demilitarizing the border, and as I mentioned, to get a cessation of the fighting in Southern Kordofan. Those are some of the critical things that they need to do between now and July 9th, and then to finish up in July the remaining issues.
"I think this can all happen, but it's going to take a lot of work. It's going to take a lot of courageous decision-making. The international community has been mobilized and it's become very active in these last few days. I met with the diplomatic community here this morning when we discussed this. I am leaving tomorrow for Addis Ababa where Prime Minister Meles of Ethiopia is convening a summit of IGAD -- that's the East African heads of state -- and Thabo Mbeki, who leads the negotiations on North-South issues will be there. And we expect more progress on these matters to be made in the coming week, and then I'll go on from there to Juba.
"So that's where we are in the situation. I think it's -- there are still a lot of problems out there, but I think it's come a long way. I do think July 9th is going to come off in the way it should as bringing to an end decades of civil war between the North and the South."

Khalid writes:
A fair summary of the situation.There are challenges;but the worst-which many feard and some seem to have anticipated-was avoided. Good to see Ambassador Lyman noting the Sudanese Minister of Foreign Affairs' promise that the mother country will be the first to recognise the new Southern Sudanese state.President Bashir had declared that on the 4th of January in Juba. President Obama has made an auspicious contribution describing the success of the referendum as "an inspiration "to the world. Positive US commitment will be crucial in the future too, especially in the South;with capacity building, continued support for the transformation of SPLA into a regular disciplined army,the redeployment,retraining and return of former combatants to civilian life.The North will need debt relief and removal from the terror sponsors list.
By supporting the Arab Spring in Tunisia ,Egypt and elsewhere, the US is placing itself "on the right side of history".Ambassador Lyman is well placed and qualified to build on his predecessor's work and help the two Sudans through this sensitive turning point.

"The footage from that "Hard To Handle" montage is from a whole mess of sources, including ... that 1970 Family Dog broadcast [ie 4 Feb 1970, with Pigpen in a green jersey]. The outdoor, B&W footage is not, as some people have suggested, from a San Francisco street gig, but from the day in 1968 when the band played in support of the student strikers on the campus of Columbia University in NYC [3 May 1968]. Other stuff in "Hard To Handle" comes from Robert Nelson's short film "The Grateful Dead," early home movies shot by David Nelson and others, and 8mm footage of the July, 1969 shows at the NY State Pavilion at Flushing Meadow [11 & 12 Jul 1969], filmed by yours truly."(2) a percussion duet with Mickey Hart and Bill Kreutzman, recorded at the Front Street studios

Hope it's okay to ask a rather basic question -- I've looked at other topics here but can't quite find an answer. The question probably applies to all teas, but for me particularly pu'er.
I appreciate there are lots of variables when brewing tea. If we say that the teapot and the water & the water temperature and the type of tea itself are the same, that leaves (at least): amount of tea, amount of water, time spent brewing. Keeping the amount of tea constant too:
Say someone brews 5g of tea in a 100ml pot for 20 seconds.
Someone else brews 5g of tea in a 150ml pot for 30 seconds.
They brew multiple times, lengthening the brew time, until the tea is exhausted. They will both probably have drunk about the same volume of tea, right?
So am I right in saying that the reason the first person prefers the smaller volume & shorter steep combination is because he wants more precision in tasting the changes in taste that you get each time you re-brew? And the second person will still have a perfectly nice drink but some of those changes will merge and run into each other and he might miss some of the more subtle changes?
Or: is there any other reason at all why someone would go for the smaller volume/shorter steep combo?

Exclusive Interview With G/Fashion Designers of SUST
Posted By G Monkie On January 4, 2010 @ 12:06 am In Style / Fashion / Beauty | 4 Comments
Photography by Stefan Arni and his directing partner SIggi Kinski
This week we are lucky to have an exclusive interview with the founders of the fashion house SUST. With the seeds of their company planted in California, these two women, Marion McKee and Tristan Gribbin, have set out to make a mainstream fashion brand, with a green core. They are committed to designing desirable clothing, which looks and feels great, using only the finest 100% organicly grown cottons. They have even committed to having all their garments made in Northern California to ensure all workers are fairly treated, while receiving sustainable wages. Not your typical fashion company business model by a long shot. I guess they didn't get the insiders handbook to creating a global brand on the cheap. You know the standard chemical / near slave labor production cycle. Isn't that the right path to creating a main stream brand?
G Monkie: Tristan / Marion, your company is fairly new, only starting in 2008. When you jumped in to create this new fashion brand, what previous experience did you and how did you know what you wanted. to create?
Marion McKee, Co-Founder: I have fourteen years experience as an accessory designer with my own line Marion McKee Designs, which sells in specialty stores and boutiques across the nation. I also owned a skateboard/snowboard shop of street wear trends in the 1990's in the heart of San Francisco's Haight Street District. All my experience has stemmed from my love of fashion when I was in school and the merchandising and design classes I took in college.
Tristan Gribbin, Co-Founder: I have a background in theater and entertainment and have seen eye to eye with Marion on style since we've been friends in the seventh grade. When we were in junior high we were always sketching punk and new wave designs and passing them around in class! And then, when we were in high school we were Mods and that is still a heavy influence in our style and our designs for SUST today.
G Monkie: Which designers or companies in the green fashion space have inspired you and have they influenced your business model?
Tristan / Marion: We both have great respect for pioneers in the organic apparel industry. Scott Leonard of Indigenous Designs is a childhood friend and has been our mentor, and he has been in the organic + fair trade business for fourteen years, way ahead of the pack. We admire Linda Loudermilk and her groundbreaking development of eco fabrics. Gregory Rogan, designer for Loomstate, for helping bring organic apparel to the mainstream where it belongs. Jenny Hwa, of Loyale, is an inspiration to us as a pioneer who puts her whole heart and soul into her work and helps bring organics to the fashion world on her terms. Joslin Van Arsdale of Eco Citizen has created a fashion forward eco-boutique in San Francisco that takes the "hippy granola" out of environmentally friendly style. We admire TOMS Shoes for the important service they provide to the developing world. Also, Organic by John Patrick makes classic essential organic clothing that we love. All of these amazing people contribute something valuable and unique to environmentally conscious fashion and they have all been successful models for us.
G Monkie: Who are your favorite designers in the fashion industry as a whole and what makes them special?
Tristan / Marion: Favorite designers: We love designers like Chloe and Gucci, and a line called Aftur in Iceland that we find inspirational. But, for clothing like our SUST line, we love to wear designs from Vince, James Perse, Velvet, and Bread & Butter.
G Monkie: So far, what has been good about taking this path and has anything turned out to be more difficult that you expected?
Tristan / Marion: We initially conceived the concept for SUST in 2000, which was very early in the Green Fashion moment. At that point in time, we thought that the world wasn't quite ready for us, so we waited until when there was enough momentum in the green movement to get started. We found a hole in the market for organic clothing, there wasn't a lot on the market in the bright, stylish aesthetic that we love and decided to climb the hill towards making our vision a reality. It's been an enlightening road so far, combining our creative visions, developing conscious production methods, materials and sources, and building an effective infrastructure is hard work and so we've expanded our team to focus on the business. The economic environment has created a great opportunity for us right now, we're very lucky in that the only way to go is up! It's a ripe opportunity to find fantastic people, so we've grown the team with a competitive overhead structure. We are all passionate and have positioned SUST for success. It's been a paced growth strategy and we like that! We think about SUST like good, slow food- it will grow in it's own time and end up stronger with more life force and flavor!
G Monkie: How do you think the state of the economy will effect the green movement?
Tristan / Marion: We think that the state of the economy is like a shake down, and people want change. People now more than ever want to buy things of quality and we, along with the green movement are trying to provide quality items that are long lasting in terms of style. This is in alignment with the change people are looking for. We aim to create a collection of essentials and to offer sustainable products with a great value proposition, so everyone can have access to quality organic clothing. At the end of the day, we believe that the state of the economy will strengthen the movement because the global efforts towards solutions are in their nascent stage. This is not trendy or a passing fad.
G Monkie: What is different about your clothing?
Tristan / Marion: When we started conceptualizing SUST, we carefully researched the apparel market and felt that there was a void in contemporary casual, brightly colored items that we love. A lot of clothing in the eco market has a hippie, folksy look, are logo or art inspired or have a yoga aesthetic that distinguishes them from other non-organic lines. But SUST clothes have the look and the feel of contemporary brands, bringing a breath of fresh air and style to the movement. SUST clothes are made with US-grown certified organic cotton and we currently manage the entire product lifecycle right here in California. We develop our line in a rainbow of colors that reflect our roots and keep our sense of style.
G Monkie: How important are the fabrics?
Tristan / Marion: The super-soft organic cotton that we use is literally the very canvas of our business. It is at the core of the beauty of the SUST line and the sustainable and conscious values that we represent. The fabrics we use are the building blocks of this business and we believe this primary element is critical to our success.
G Monkie: How important are the designs?
Tristan / Marion: It all starts with great product, design is the cornerstone of our business. We believe that well made, trend-right products provide an opportunity for people to shop smart and to buy essentials that fit their lifestyle. Our debut Spring/Summer '09 line is based on this belief, so we created our version of the perfect key items for the modern and ecologically conscious woman. Because each of our pieces is constructed of beautiful, soft organic Supima cotton, you can wear them casually or dress them up. They even will go under a blazer for work. Moving forward, we will be incorporating more fun, novelty pieces to build upon the clean, modern appeal of our debut line.
G Monkie: How important is the price point for you?
Tristan / Marion:We are determined to keep our price points competitive with non-organic brands of similar style and quality. Our goal is to make organic, stylish products that are accessible for everyone. Each individual can do their part to make a difference in the whole world. If consumers have a choice, we believe they will be responsible and select products that are focused on reducing our impact on the environment.
G Monkie: Your company SUST is focused on sustainable and organic fashion. Does the concept of living "G" bleed over into your personal life?
Tristan / Marion: Both of us were raised in a green environment having grown up in Palo Alto, California with environmentally conscious parents who instilled these values in us. This inherent belief in living a sustainable lifestyle was one of the main motivations to create SUST and to spread responsible fashion to all corners of the clothing market.
On a daily basis, we live green lifestyles by buying organic foods, shopping for local made products, gardening at home, actively supporting recycling and conservation efforts, using alternative methods of transportation and supporting like minded eco and sustainable companies. We also consciously educate ourselves and our families to pass these ideals into future generations.
G Monkie: When creating your designs, who do you have in mind as the perfect customer for your fashion line?
Tristan / Marion: We design clothes for women much like ourselves, those who are educated, socially and environmentally aware, fashion conscious and motivated to be part of the change that we wish to see in the world. SUST clothing is for women who want to green their lives. Our customers are mindful, not wasteful, cultured and possess a clean, modern sense of style.
G Monkie: When you started your company, what was the objective?
Tristan / Marion: We want to create a strong and compelling brand that will help support the movement for sustainability. We would like the SUST to stand for well made, certified organic products made in a socially responsible manner. Our focus is specialty & boutique stores, along with better department stores throughout the United States, Canada, Europe and Asia.
G Monkie: With all the bad news about the economy, global warming and just the endless dramas playing out on the news, do you have anything that just makes you feel good or have a laugh?
Tristan / Marion: What makes us laugh: Our kids. Comedies like Something about Mary or You Don't Mess with the Zohan. Dirty Jokes!
G Monkie: Do you have a favorite place or city you love to go to?
Tristan / Marion: Marion's favorite city is: San Francisco or London. London is a great inspiration for SUST, and the team has traveled there together a few times, and explored Carnaby Street and Portobello Road we have enjoyed the clubs, shopping and being a part of the youth culture.
Tristan's favorite cities are: Reykjavik, Iceland, and Dublin Ireland, where I lived for six years each, acting in theater and film.
G Monkie: How important is traveling for you? Do you like to travel and does traveling influence your designs in anyway?
Tristan / Marion: We love to travel, and have traveled extensively both together and separately. Together we have been to: London, Reykjavik, Los Angeles, New York, Carmel by the Sea, and Lake Tahoe. We attended UC Santa Cruz together. Marion has been to Mexico, Costa Rica, and Indonesia. Marion's favorite memories are learning to surf, enjoying the laid back vibe of a tropical vacation, and being on the sand on the beach.
Tristan: I've traveled throughout Europe and lived in both Ireland and Iceland, performing a one woman play that toured across Europe and North America. My favorite memories from my travels are doing the Inuit Dance on stage in Nuuk, Greenland and performing at Stanford in front of a full audience of friends and family. I also lived in Singapore and Indonesia as a teenager, where I have memories of my first love, playing soccer and learning about South East Asian cultures.

Grace Kelly born
In 1956, Grace Kelly would be reborn into royalty as Her Serene Highness, Princess Grace of Monaco after she married Prince Rainier of Monaco in a ceremony watched the world over. Her actual birth, however, as the third child (and second daughter) of Margaret and John Kelly of Philadelphia, was less dramatic. While her family was wealthy, they were far from the high society she would often represent in films. Indeed, as Democratic Irish Roman-Catholics, her family was for the most part barred from competing in real Philadelphia society. On the other hand, in the midst of America's worst economic collapse, she wanted for little. Born only a month after the stock market crash of 1929, Kelly was raised in a world of affluence and ease. While both her parents were enthusiastically athletic, Grace was more interested in books, art, and drama. One of her biggest influence was her uncle George, a successful playwright who was generally shunned by the family for being both an artist and a gay man. Kelly later said of her uncle, "He introduced me to all kinds of things I would never have considered or been exposed to––classical literature, poetry and great plays. …He was also one of the few people who stood up to my father, disagreed with him, contradicted him. I thought Uncle George was fearless." At age 17, Kelly also stood up to her father when she moved to NYC to attend the American Academy of Dramatic Arts. She further enraged everyone by refusing any assistance, carving out a successful modeling career to pay for her education. Having gotten cast in several Broadway shows (including The Philadelphia Story, the drama she would later redo as a musical in her last film High Society), Kelly then showed up in a small part in the 1951 suspense drama Fourteen Hours. However, her real screen debut would be the next year when she was cast opposite Gary Cooper in High Noon. From that point, her career took off. Before she stopped acting in 1956 to become Princess Grace, she'd made 10 films (three with Alfred Hitchcock), received an Oscar nomination in 1954 for Mogambo, and won a Best Actress Academy Award the next year for The Country Girl

March 22, 2008 -- Daily Mail
McCartney flies to bedside of 'Fifth Beatle' as he fights for life
Sir Paul McCartney has flown to New York to be at the bedside of the man known as "the Fifth Beatle" who was last night fighting for his life in hospital.
For more than 40 years, Neil Aspinall controlled the vast empire of the Fab Four.
A quiet, bespectacled accountant, he was their chief confidant and business adviser, took part in some of their more rebellious pranks and even sang backing vocals on Yellow Submarine.
But Mr Aspinall, 65, is believed to be suffering from lung cancer and has flown to New York from his London home for treatment at Manhattan's prestigious Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Centre.
A family friend said that Sir Paul had been to visit. "I understand that Paul saw him in hospital in New York," the friend said. "Paul will be devastated if he doesn't beat this. They have been mates ever since they were schoolboys in Liverpool."
The news of Mr Aspinall's condition will have come as a shattering blow for Sir Paul who has seen several loved ones and friends lose battles with cancer.
In 1998, breast cancer claimed his first wife Linda at 56, then George Harrison died of lung cancer at the age of 58 in 2001.
Cancer also claimed the life of the Beatles' long-time Press agent Derek Taylor in 1997 and Ringo Starr's first wife, Maureen Starkey, died from leukemia in 1994 when she was 47.
The family friend said Mr Aspinall used to smoke, but gave up years ago.
Mr Aspinall was expected to build a career as a conventional accountant when he struck up a friendship with the young McCartney and Harrison after they all gained places at the Liverpool Institute.
Mr Aspinall once joked that they initially bonded over the illicit cigarettes that they would smoke behind the school's air-raid shelters.
"By the time we were ready to take the GCE exams, we'd added John Lennon to our 'Mad Lad' gang," he said.
Once they became the Beatles, they also experimented with drugs. Aspinall observed: "Quite a bit of marijuana was being smoked. It made recording a bit slower, but it didn't affect the quality of the work."
John Lennon claimed they smoked marijuana in the lavatories at Buckingham Palace when they collected their MBEs in 1965.
Mr Aspinall started work for the band as the £1 ($2)-an-hour driver of their battered blue Commer van.
He had an affair with Mona Best, mother of the band's first drummer Pete Best, and in 1962 they had a son.
He was with The Beatles now with Ringo Starr as drummer as they conquered America and even stood in for Harrison when the guitarist fell sick during the rehearsals for their first major TV show.
He also contributed to some recordings, playing percussion on Magical Mystery Tour and belting out the Yellow Submarine chorus.
But his real genius was as a money man and in 1968 he took over Apple Corps, the company the Beatles had set up to manage their business interests.
He took computer giant Apple Inc to court three times over image infringement and, in winning two of the suits, the Beatles' company was awarded more than £13. 5million ($27 million).
Just 11 months ago, he finally quit his job as Apple chief executive to run a small film company, Standby Films, from his home in Twickenham, Middlesex.

Interim CEO named for Lake Erie Health System
In a statement made to employees Wednesday morning, the Board of Trustees of Lake Erie Regional Health System of New York announced the appointment of J. Gary Rhodes, FACHE as interim chief executive officer for the organization.
Rhodes will be assisting with LERHSNY's transition until a permanent CEO is appointed. He currently presides as the CEO of Kane Community Hospital and a vice president of UPMC Hamot, an affiliate of the Kane hospital.
Rhodes' experience includes responsibility for Kane's 230 employees and affiliated physicians who provide high-quality, leading-edge care. He has opened four regional clinics up to 28 miles from Kane, Pa., and converted five hospital primary care practices to hospital-based community clinics in Kane, Mt. Jewett, Sheffield, Johnsonburg, and Ridgeway, Pa.
Under his direction, in 1999, Kane Community Hospital forged its first agreement with Hamot in the field of cardiology. This partnership advanced and the organizations formally integrated in 2009.
"Rhodes continues to develop comprehensive strategies to enhance the growth and range of services available to patients in the Kane region," stated LERHSNY Board Chair Christopher Lanski, "and we are certain he will now bring these same attributes to assist the Lake Erie Regional Health System."
LERHSNY's leadership team and Board of Trustees also expressed confidence in this provisional addition in helping to continue their mission to offer their patients high-quality health care.
Rhodes is taking over for Jonathan Lawrence, who previously served as the CEO when the Lake Erie Health System was formed in 2008. LERHSNY's facilities include Brooks Memorial Hospital in Dunkirk, Lake Shore Health Care Center in Irving, and the various outpatient facilities of TLC Health Network.

This system comes with four wired indoor/outdoor compact bullet-style cameras that capture high-resolution video. Sharp® CCD image sensors provide you with a clear, consistent picture at 420 TV lines of resolution. Each camera is built with a professional-grade aluminum housing and a sunshade to help prevent glare, deterioration, and rusting. The cameras feature nightvision, allowing you to see any monitored area (up to 15ft away) in total darkness.
This four-channel network surveillance recorder with four in/outdoor cameras records video day and night, and lets you see live video footage on any smartphone, or computer. All captured footage records to a 500 GB hard drive built right into the DVR, and there are backup and archiving options for your convenience. A USB port lets you transfer your video footage to a flash drive or external hard drive. You can also connect an external CD/DVD writer directly to your DVR and burn your footage to a disc.
When you want to play back your video, the intuitive menu lets you navigate through your footage with ease using the included USB mouse, the front panel of your DVR or the convenient IR remote control. Search for your video by date; simply choose the desired date and time range, and the requested video clips will appear. Clips are also labeled by event, which makes it easy to find particular footage. You can even set a password to prevent unauthorized users from viewing your footage or changing any of your DVR settings.

M. Roboam, Mark S. Fox, and Katia Sycara
tech. report CMU-RI-TR-90-21, Robotics Institute, Carnegie Mellon University, November, 1990
|Achieving manufacturing efficiency requires that many groups that comprise a manufacturing enterprise, such as design, planning, production, distribution, field service, accounting, sales and marketing, cooperate in order to achieve their common goal. In this paper we introduce the concept of Enterprise Management (EMN) as the element to facilitate the integration of distributed heterogeneous functions of a manufacturing enterprise. The integration is supported by having the network first play a more active role in the accessing and communication of information, and second provide the appropriate protocols for the distribution, coordination, and negotiation of tasks and outcomes. The EMN is divided into six layers: Network Layer, Data Layer, Information Layer, Organization Layer, Coordination Layer, and Market Layer. Each of these layers provides a portion of the elements, functions and protocols to allow the integration of a manufacturing enterprise.

When the editors of The Jewish Journal, along withpublisher Stanley Hirsh, started planning an issue to commemorateIsrael's 50th anniversary, we were committed to something other thana "coffee-table" paper. We wanted it to be highly readable andentertaining, definitely, but also filled with stories and newsarticles that were immediate and compelling and newsworthy -- notjust gloss or an endless series of superlatives.
We asked Hirsh Goodman, the gifted Israelijournalist, political analyst and editor, to contribute his thoughts[not available in our online edition]. Then we turned to our Tel Avivcorrespondent, LarryDerfner, who had been following thecomplex stories of ethnic and class rivalry in Israel for more than adecade, and to EricSilver, our man in Jerusalem, who had beenlooking closely at the impact of terrorism on both politics and dailylife in the region.
We called on David Margolis, an Angeleno who had been on the staff of The JewishJournal until he made aliyah about four years ago, toassess his experience in Israel from the perspective of anAmerican-born modern Orthodox Jew.
Former columnist and staff member Yehuda Lev, now living in Providence, R.I., had lived in Israel 50years ago and had fought in the War for Independence; certainly weneeded to include him.
Then there were stories we wanted on the military,on changes concerning the role of women during the past half century,and on tourism and restaurants and writing.
Locally, we enlisted Sally OgleDavis to write about Israel's image inHollywood, and urged StephenSass to contribute a definitive piece onLos Angeles' Zionist history.
And we began collecting the stories ofAngelenos whose lives had been changed byIsrael -- just a small sampling, we know, of what must be far greaternumbers.
We at The Jewish Journal take for granted --perhaps with undeserved pride -- Israel's accomplishments over these50 years. A nation has been built; a people has survived; a dream hasbeen realized for all Jews, not just Israelis. That's cause enoughfor honor and celebration.
We also recognize the conflicts and the adversity:the five wars, the Jewish population that has grown from 600,000 tonearly 5 million, the stalled peace process, the need for security.But the triumph of a people and a vibrant democracy are with each andevery one of us on this 50th anniversary.
So we leave you with our special issue. It iscelebratory, but there is much to read and ponder. My advice is tohold onto this issue for a while; my guess is that there is much herethat will interest you. And it will take considerably more than aweek to read.-- GeneLichtenstein

Webster County approves FY 2014 budget
The Webster County Board of Supervisors approved the budget for fiscal year 2014 during their regular meeting Tuesday.
The board approved the $36,139,077 budget and $12,902,000 in property taxes which includes slightly less revenue than fiscal year 2013, Webster County Auditor Carol Messerly said.
"We expect revenue to be less because we are spending down capital projects for the LEC; we expect to have that done in 2014," she said.
Messerly said property taxes saw an increase of about 3 cents per $1,000 of taxable property for a rate of $6.53 per $1,000 in property located within the city limits of Webster County communities. Rates are approximately $3.52 per $1,000 for unincorporated rural areas of the county for a total levy of $10.05 per $1,000 of taxable property.
The board also approved amendments to the 2013 budget ending June 30, increasing Department 99 Capital Projects appropriation to $1,340,000, increasing roads and transportation by $140,000 and decreasing roadway construction by $330,000.
Salaries for elected officials were approved for the county attorney in the amount of $92,131, auditor, recorder and treasurer at $58,677, sheriff at $78,273, county supervisors $34,697 and supervisor chairman at $35,477. The board also approved the employment of Derek Christie as Webster County sheriff deputy at a salary of $40,901.46 effective March 11.
In other business Webster County and Midas Council of Governments received three bids for pre-demolition asbestos surveys for five flood damaged properties set to be demolished this year. Bids were received in the amounts of $3,575 from Ebins Inspection Service, $3,950 from Cardno ATC and $10,875 from Impact 7G. The contract will be extended to the lowest bidder, Ebins Inspection Service, pending they meet all FEMA inspection certifications and requirements.

I know this is going to be a really unpopular opinion but I just can't help but feel like Meryl Streep really didn't deserve that Oscar. Her accident as Thatcher wasn't very accurate in my opinion and kind of detracted away from what was a great film. Congratulations to all the winners though!

I don't watch the Oscars. But, I do love to know who won. So, thanks for this post. Now I'll know where to look next year!

I never watch any of that stuff... I just don't care. I'm a terrible consumer, never go to theaters, never buy retail if I can get it used... probably my fault the economy sucks.
Meryl Streep is an amazing actress, but I didn't see the performance that got her an Oscar this time.

The Rules Are:
1. You must post the rules.
2. Post eleven fun facts about yourself on the blog post.
3. Answer the questions the tagger set for you in their post, and then create eleven new questions to ask the people you've tagged.
4. Tag eleven bloggers, however, you can break the rules and tag fewer people if you want. Make sure you hyperlink their names/blogs.
5. Let them know you've tagged them!
6. Have fun!

Topic: Introduction to Form Helpers
Form helpers are methods to aid in the creation of HTML forms. For example, this will create a text field with the name 'foo':
<%= text_field_tag :foo %>
Whatever the user types into this text field can be accessed in the next controller action using params[:foo].
Regular vs. Model Form Helpers
There are two types of form helpers. I'm calling these "regular" and "model". You are probably mostly familiar with the model form helpers which scaffolding generates. An example of a model form helper is this:
<%= text_field :person, :name %>
This helper is used to edit the name attribute inside the @person model. The value will be accessible in the controller using params[:person][:name]. But, take a look at the first code example I gave. Notice the extra "_tag" at the end of the method name? Although it might seem like the same thing, "text_field" and "text_field_tag" are two very different methods.
The regular form helpers usually end in "_tag" and aren't related to models in any way. They can be used for anything.
The model form helpers, on the other hand, are used for editing a model's attributes. In the person code example I gave above, it will look for an instance variable called @person. If @person.name is set, it will automatically set the text field to this value. If you were using text_field_tag, you would need to specify the value manually.
When not to use model helpers
Let's say you are adding a search to your site. Don't do this:
<%= text_field :search, :query %>
Most likely there isn't a model called Search, nor does it have an attribute called "query", so you shouldn't use this type of form helper. Instead, use the normal text_field_tag helper like this:
<%= text_field_tag :query %>
Now you know when to use the regular form helpers vs. the model specific form helpers. In this article I only used the text_field helper as an example, but the same rule applies to the other form helpers as well (check_box, radio, select, etc.). There are only a few exceptions (such as date_select vs. select_date, that one always gets me).

After failing to release its PlayStation 3 video game system at the same timeframe as Microsoft Xbox 360, Sony Computer Entertainment will do its best to launch the next-generation PlayStation 4 game console ahead of its major rival. As a result, the PS4 may hit the market earlier than the Xbox Next.
"I doubt [Microsoft] will be ready for launch [the next Xbox] in 2013. Between Sony and Microsoft, we expect Sony to be first to market perhaps as early as 2013, but more likely in 2014. There is still a lot of investment for both companies to recoup in the current generation," said Colin Sebastian, an analyst with RW Baird, in a brief interview with IndustryGamers.
This week it transpired that many industry players, including hardware and software developers, expect Microsoft Corp. to release its next-generation Xbox sometimes in 2013.
While it is still two years from now, one should consider that in 2012 Nintendo, who won the current console generation with Wii, plans to release its high-definition Wii U game console with innovative controller, which will automatically make the current-generation video game systems look outdated. Not surprising that both Microsoft and Sony will attempt to convince their customers not to get Wii U by revealing or leaking plans for next-generation PlayStation and Xbox.
"For this market, making people think you are going to launch could be as important as launching. If a new system seems to be on the horizon it could slow movement towards a PS3 or Wii U. Once the Wii U launches the Xbox 360 becomes the old system. If Microsoft has clear plans for a successor it could really help keep consumers from jumping ship to a competing system. This would even be true if for some reason the 720 was to slip to say 2014," said David Cole, an analyst with DFC Intelligence.
Sony Computer Entertainment confirmed earlier this year that it had begun to develop the next-generation PlayStation 4. While Microsoft remains tight-lipped over next-generation console development, This spring rumours transpired that the successor to the Xbox 360 console is currently evaluated by an unnamed game design studio that belongs to Electronic Arts. EA reportedly received the systems back in April. At present, it is said, the hardware is installed inside typical computer cases. Besides, official Xbox magazine (OXM) published a comment from an AMD executive claiming that the next-gen consoles will have Avatar-like quality of graphics.
