Hope you'll excuse a bit of a plug, but it's about a great, free album which Beatles fans will love!
Dublin singer-songwriter Chris Singleton (a big Beatles fan himself) has made a critically acclaimed and extremely Beatley album, "Twisted City", available for free, for a limited time only, at http://www.singletonmusic.com/freealbum/
It's picked up great reviews, and if you like the Beatles, you'll love this album.
Excuse the plug and enjoy the free music!
Best wishes, Matt.
Some quotes about the album:

Our opinion: Mall needs new idea
Ah, those were heady days of commerce, those decades of the '70s and '80s when buildings of giant proportions and extravagant concourses sprung up to lure national retail chains and the consumers who were mesmerized by the selection and the accoutrements.
Malls were suddenly the place to be.
The places no one seemed to want to be, of course, were traditional downtown retail areas. The prediction that downtowns would suffer as the result of these suburban cornucopias of convenience ultimately came true. The traditional downtown department store became a thing of the past. If they didn't move into a mall and become part of the homogeny that the malls offered, they moved into oblivion.
Then came the new century and the great mall shakeout. Malls hadn't just appeared in the periphery of metropolitan centers, they were sprinkled around small towns like Warren and Bradford and thousands of others.
The "smaller" malls like Warren's had already started to decline as larger malls with even greater selection and services, and not so far away that a drive to shop was out of the question, began to rob them of customers.
The Warren Mall was already on the decline, losing its allure to local shoppers as malls in Erie, Lakewood and Buffalo, N.Y., beckoned with filled store fronts, even better selection and services. They survive – some even thrive – in their much larger markets.
Enter the Big Box.
For malls like Warren's, the Big Box was the coup de grace. The Big Boxes, like Wal-mart, Target, Costco and others, didn't like malls and became so incredibly successful with their formula of providing everything to run a household under one roof that they were a destination in and of themselves. Other big boxes tagged along. So did full service restaurants and specialty stores that used to be in malls.
And hence, the once wonderful Warren Mall, which drew shoppers from far off places like Kane and Tionesta, are now virtually empty monuments to the natural selection process of free enterprise.
As its owner bemoans his tax bill in county court and perhaps questions his decision to purchase the property only a short while ago, we offer a suggestion: Think outside the box. Stop thinking of the mall as a mall, but rather a very large building with lots of big rooms and lots of small rooms and a concourse linking them together.
Take a hint from the very successful outdoor show which has filled that concourse with visitors each of the past two years.
Except for its few remaining large shopping venues, breathing new retail life into those empty store fronts is Sisyphean. It's time for a new idea.

Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (589 votes).
In short: First olympic event of 2012 done In full: Washing machine now completing second olympic event of 2012. I knew that I shouldn't have worn my best suit!Great fun and a wonderful way to start 2012. Innovative 'extra half hill' bonus - just in case we still had some energy left to be sapped out of the legs.Fantastic cameraderie amongst the runners and great support all the way around from marshals.Felt sorry for the guy running with a snorkel for not getting the opportunity to try it out crossing the River Mole this year.By law of averages next year it should snow, put my name down now for the 10th Anniversary featuring the Juniper Top Cresta Run.Date of review: January 1, 2012
In short: Leave out the tarmac rubbish, its for woosies and really boringIn full: Less of a challenge this year, 23% longer but only 9.5% more hill makes it 11% softer at 42.2m/km.The old course was full Cat A Fell Race standard at 47.5m/km - the only one I know of around here ! (The Box Hill Fell Race later in the month is only 44.5m/km so thats a Cat B Fell Race)Date of review: January 1, 2012
In full: A brilliant run- low-key, simple but excellent and effective organisation, tremendous atmosphere and support all along the course. Nice touch to have names with numbers so people could call one by name. The course- magnificent- and I preferred coming back up the steps to going down them!Date of review: January 1, 2012
In short: Great way to start the year - thanks Dr Rob!Date of review: January 1, 2012
In short: It made me realise that I am a big enough person not to mind being beaten by Mary PoppinsDate of review: January 1, 2012
In full: A brilliantly organised race & a great way to start 2012. Will be back for 2013- my mile splits were diabolical!!!! Date of review: January 1, 2012
In short: Our knackers are crackered... ;oDIn full: Great race: mud, hills and steps that kill. Fantastic start to the new year. Highly recommend to all runners, but fancy dress is a must or you'll look a right wally! My garmin says 1720 total elevation gained! I'm not even going to look at my mile splits! Date of review: January 1, 2012
In short: Even better, thanks to 'bonus' hills!In full: Just when you think it can't get better - or worse (depending upon your point of view), Dr Rob adds a nice, extra 2k of hilly terrain to what was already a killer race. Thanks for that stroll up Zig Zag, Dr Rob!Once again, this race proved to be a high point on the calendar, with great camaraderie, top-notch marshalling, and excellent post-race goodies to ease the pain. Loved the tech shirt, and the heat-reactive coffee mug. Though the course conditions were challenging, the rain held off. However, this did not make the Box Hill steps any easier!Thanks to all, and see you in 2013.Date of review: January 1, 2012
In short: HaRd.CoRe!In full: I said last year 'no fancy dress for me', and stil ended up Wee Willy Winking it around the course. I always envisage I'll be able to run 100% of the time, but the truth of it is, the course is tough, the hills are hilly, the mud is swamp sticky, and you will suffer. The steps at the end were actually loaned to the National Trust by Satan himself.Seriously though, great way to start the year - fellow runners dressed-up sufferering and well and truly, gloriously, knacker cracked. Thanks Rob - you the boss.Date of review: January 1, 2012
In short: Incredibly hard, fabulous fun, and intensely satisfyingDate of review: January 1, 2012

1. -- U.S. stock futures were flat to slightly higher Wednesday as the Federal Reserve wraps up its two-day meeting and ahead of a day filled with economic data.
The Fed isn't expected to announce any big changes when it issues its latest policy statement. But investors will be looking for clues as to when the central bank might begin pulling back on its monetary stimulus.
European stocks were rising Wednesday while Asian shares finished the trading session mostly lower. Japan's Nikkei 225 index declined 1.5%.
2. -- The economic calendar in the U.S. Wednesday includes the ADP Employment Change index for July at 8:15 a.m. EDT, advanced gross domestic product for the second quarter at 8:30 a.m., Chicago PMI at 9:45 a.m., and the rate decision from the Federal Open Market Committee at 2 p.m.

The S&P 500 rose 0.04% to 1,685.96 while the Dow Jones Industrial Average slipped 0.01% to 15,520.59. The Nasdaq added 0.48% to 3,616.47.
4. -- Cubist Pharmaceuticals
The deals are valued at $801 million and $818 million, if certain milestones are reached, respectively.
Cubist already markets the antibiotic Cubicin but once the two deals close the company will control Optimer's currently approved antibiotic Dificid as well as Trius' late-stage antibiotic candidate tedizolid.
5. -- Whole Foods Market
6. -- MasterCard
7. -- Cable giant Comcast

Intro to New South Wales hotels and accommodations
Hotels in New South Wales
Hotels in New South Wales run the full gamut of tastes and budgets. Pool-side bars and full-service spas are to be found in the capital's big luxury hotels, many of which rate as 5-star. Equally, guesthouses in the edgier urban areas offer bundles of Aussie charm and the least expensive hotel rates in New South Wales. You'll find well-equipped, family-friendly New South Wales beach hotels too, framed by soft sand and picturesque cliffs. For a vacation with a difference, though, try one of the more remote inns and retreats, some of which offer the chance to interact with Australia's distinctive wildlife.
Things to see in New South Wale
It's impossible to come to New South Wales without admiring the views over its most famous stretch of water—Sydney Harbour. With design icons like the Sydney Opera House and Sydney Harbour Bridge, this is a waterfront that begs to be walked upon and photographed. Sydney also has the best beaches in NSW. The surfers' paradise of Bondi Beach is the highlight, whether you want to catch a breaker or not. Natural splendour can be found in the nearby Blue Mountains, which boast dramatic rock formations and several Aboriginal rock carvings. More rock art from the continent's first inhabitants can be found at Mutawintji National Park. Here you can go walkabout in the bush or camp out under the stars. For a different sort of retreat, though, the Hunter Valley offers the chance to explore some of Australia's oldest vineyards—and of course to sample the fruits of their labour.
Where to stay in New South Wales
Sydney, loaded down with must-see attractions and showcasing Oz culture at its best, is the obvious magnet for the NSW-bound vacationer. Shopaholics will love the city too, with its endless malls and designer shopping centres. Sydney is also home to the country's largest commercial district, providing excellent facilities for business visitors. Better for budget travellers is Newcastle, lying further up the coast with miles of unspoiled beaches and a strong maritime heritage. Coffs Harbour is great for families, with its quaint seaside attractions and safe beaches. In contrast, Armidale is better-suited to the more adventurous traveller, with its numerous World Heritage sites and rugged gorge country.
How to get to New South Wales
Kingsford Smith International Airport is where most air travellers coming to New South Wales land. It is Australia's largest international and domestic airport, and you can catch flights to both Newcastle and Coffs Harbour from here, as well as other locations throughout the state. You can also take flights to cities in other states, such as Brisbane, Melbourne, Canberra, and the Gold Coast. Travel to New South Wales by road from Victoria is along the Hume Highway. From Sydney, take the A1 to drive up the east coast to Brisbane and beyond.

Skip to comments.Boston Mayor Says [Biden] Guaranteed...Obama Will Pass Major Gun Control Reform by End of January
Posted on 01/04/2013 2:06:18 PM PST by SoFloFreeper
Vice President Joe Biden guaranteed that President Barack Obama will pass sweeping gun control legislation by the end of January, according to Boston Mayor Thomas M. Menino.
He said, Tommy, I guarantee you, well get it done by the end of January, Menino reportedly said at City Hall on Thursday. Theyre going to get it done.
Menino, a leading gun control advocate, has been recovering from a myriad of health issues over the last two months, but said Biden has called him a number of times while he was in the hospital. One of the calls came after the Newtown, Conn. school shooting and concerned gun control, the Boston Herald reports.
I understand the Second Amendment, the right to bear arms. But I dont understand how young kids should be able to get guns, Menino said, adding that Obama has no excuse not to pass strong legislation.
(Excerpt) Read more at theblaze.com ...
umgud guarantees there will be more guns sold by the end of January than any other time in history!
Because everything Biden says is 100% above board! LOL.... However I am sure Obama/DNC are right now planning every dirty trick possible to get New Gun Controls into law. The media is already on board.
The only thing Obama is going to pass by the end of January is GAS!
Pass all the laws you want.
Then try to enforce them.
Morons who know nothing about guns should not attempt to "legislate" guns.
I love to read these gun-grabbers claiming they "understand and support" the 2nd Amendment. They always say that right before they say they want to outlaw guns.
Is the plan to pass it by a vote in the executive cabinet? or, is it a vote of whomever is in Ø's office at the time of passage?
Unless the GOP is bound and intent on turning into the Whig Party by passing such a thing, I call B.S.
You're incorrectly assuming that the Constitution still applies. It doesn't. Dear Leader, the media, and the cowardly Republicans in Congress have made it abundantly clear that the Constitution is meaningless now. Obama can do what he wants.
Okay, you pass your treasonous gun laws and people will enforce this law:
Therefore the United States Code at 18 U.S.C. § 2381 states "whoever, owing allegiance to the United States, levies war against them or adheres to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort within the United States or elsewhere, is guilty of treason and shall suffer death, or shall be imprisoned not less than five years and fined under this title but not less than $10,000; and shall be incapable of holding any office under the United States."
Indeed, that's what I thought when reading the title.
The Congress "passes" legislation, the president signs it.
If the Constitution no longer applies, we can do whatever we want too. FUBO!
Notice he follows up with the non-sequitur of "kids being able to get guns".
Laws are already in place to prevent "kids" from "getting guns".
Eh...How does Obama pass anything ? He has ONE VOTE
Congress also legislates, not Obama, Obama Signs legislation passed by the People's representatives.
I agree, I call this BS.
Executive Orders are my guess.
He seems to not understand how laws are supposed to be passed.
In particular, the power to tax comes from Congress, not the Executive branch.
Whay hasn't anyone brought up how blatantly unconstitional his act was? He's not dictator. Yet.
They are after our guns because they are afraid of us as a pillar against their tyrany. All this frantic emotional bs is just that, bs.
They villified the Tea Party for the same reason. They are afraid of us.
Knowing that means that we should do something about it!!!!!
read the tag line.
T'will be interesting to see if the Dems the NRA bought (e.g., Harry Reid) stay bought.
Mumbles is an idiot. That aside, I have 4 grandsons and there is no way they could get their hands on a gun unless they found the combination to my husband's safe. Come on, the only kids that can get guns are kids with bad intent. Nothing is going to stop them.
Obama is President (unfortunately), not King (unless we allow him to be).
It's the alcohol, right?
Ain't gonna happen........Too many folks up for re-election in 2014.........
The Present and Congers share authority under the law and can bring it to a big screeching halt any time they wish.
See Tommy...here's how it works. We're gonna get this dirtbag to shoot up a school and before the funerals are done they'll be beggin' us for gun control. If not we got plenty more schools, and movies and malls...you name it! Sooner or later we win, Tommy. I guarantee it.
Obummer the Kenyan can' pass anything but $hit!Takes the House and Senate to pass anything . If they know what's good for them they will back off !
A dictator always has a "rubber stamp" legislative body. They're all afraid of him. Look at the people wetting their pants when Hussein (Saddam from Iraq, not the one in the white house) was calling legislators' names to be taken out and shot.
Time for another "shot heard around the world". They can't kill all of us - uh, well maybe they can, but it may take awhile.
'But I dont understand how young kids should be able to get guns'
First off, Lanza was a 20 yo adult, not a kid.
Secondly, what part of the fact that he killed his mother to gain control of these weapons does this liberal not understand?
Short of confiscation, there is/are no laws that would have stopped this massacre.
Interesting how one hears nothing about how poorly the children were protected from such an event. Might have to hold someone accountable.
I will not comply.
Not now. Not then. Not ever.
I'm done messing around.
NOTHING as contentious as gun control gets through the congress in two weeks, not now, not ever. I could take the time to explain the entire committee process and how the leadership can prevent any bill from not making it to the floor simply by not putting it on the calendar, and how the committee that would draft such a bill is stacked with a majority of pro-gun Republican's. But why bother? Some would rather run for the bomb shelter and declare the battle lost before even one shot is fired than do something constructive like keep the pressure of their Representatives and monitor the progress of any bill introduced in the House and Senate.
"Obama has no excuse not to pass strong legislation.
Except that he's not in Congress and doesn't pass ANY laws.
Presidents don't pass anything except gas.
He can't guarantee anything except Boehner begging for his love. An EO, however, he can guarantee.
I hate to tell Joe that Barry does not have the authority to pass any kind of legislation. Neither branch of Congress is in the mood for gun control as they all know the mood of the country is not for gun control.
Diane Feinstein has been submitting gun control bills for years. She will submit her new one and it will go into committee and die there. I doubt there are even enough Dems willing to vote for it in the Senate. Harry Reid would be jeopardizing his next election by bringing it to the floor for a vote. Even if it passed the House would kill it.
100 million Americans already have guns, high capcity mags and loads of ammo. The horse is already out of the barn and its not going back in.
Still in all we should contact our senators and reps and let them know they better not even think about voting for any of this stuff.
We should force that issue on the Democrats and their runningdog lackeys. Tell us why these two pukes were talking about guns and Newtown before the shooting.
If they think Todd Akin's views were unpopular, just wait until they see how "unpopular" dems will be when they try to take away guns.
Let the libs OWN this. My wife's family are all democrat gun owners, and they are VERY serious about the second amendment. To the point that they would gasp, vote for a republican over this very issue.
It means that much to them.
(If you guessed Boehner, you are correct.)
If there where no guns, he would have used a bomb.
If he couldn't get a bomb, he would have used a car.
No car, he would have used an ax.
If he couldn't find an ax, he would have used a knife.
No knife, he would have used a hammer.
Crazy people hellbent on causing harm will cause harm until they are stopped.
"Let the libs OWN this. My wife's family are all democrat gun owners, and they are VERY serious about the second amendment. To the point that they would gasp, vote for a republican over this very issue."
Yep a lot of Dems own guns. Harry Reid is not going to bring this POS bill to floor for a vote. IMO. Although I would love for him to do it and have it voted down.
Illinois Senate was supposed to vote on gun grabbing and homosexual marriage but they adjourned without doing anything. Hope they stay adjourned indefinitely.
>They cant kill all of us - uh, well maybe they can, but it may take awhile.
They will run short of brownshirts to take us all out. If they try to do it through civil unrest then the body count will be very high.
I think they have already started by proxy of social engineering. The shooting stage may or may not come later.
I guess I know what my husband and I will be doing tomorrow. ;o) We already have our MA Fire arms licenses, we've just never gotten around to getting guns.
Does anyone really believe that the anti-gunners will be happy with a 10 round limit on magazines?
It has always been about handguns. Assault rifles was just a decoy to try and get their anti-gun foot in the door.
Once they get a ban on AWs then they will use the same reasons to go after handguns.
John Kennedy killed with a 5 shot bolt action rifle.
Bobby Kennedy with a .22 Iver Johnson Cadet revolver.
George Wallace wounded with a 5 shot Charter Arms .38spl.
Gerald Ford attacked with a 7 shot 1911 semi auto.
Edmond OK post office with two National Guard 7 shot 1911 pistols.
Ronald Reagan and Jim Brady with an RG-14 .22 revolver.
What do they all have in common? NONE over 7 rounds, yet after each one came a cry of panic to ban them.
Most of the dead in mass shootings comes from the first 10 rounds in a magazine. When the last 10 rounds are fired people are not standing around trying to find out where the noise is coming from.
****No car, he would have used an ax.***
NO-O-o-o, not an AX! Just because a man hacked to death twelve school children in 1812 at Ft Dearborn!
Boner and McConnell think we sent them there to get along with him, though.
Excellent point. Especially the second part :)

Media Matters: Fox's Karl Rove Shouts Lies About Benghazi
-By Zachary Pleat
September 8, 2013- Fox News contributor Karl Rove repeated long-debunked falsehoods about the military response to the September 2012 attacks on a U.S. diplomatic facility in Benghazi, Libya.
During Fox News Sunday on September 8, a panel discussion turned to the upcoming anniversary of the attacks in Benghazi. During the segment, Rove falsely asserted that no military assets were ordered to assist the Americans under attack in Benghazi. Rove soon raised his voice and, over and over again, repeated his false claim that no help was sent to Benghazi.

Huffington Post: Karl Rove Mocked By Sen. Jeff Sessions Over Immigration

If they paid more attention to regular people, Sessions argued on the Senate floor, Rove and his pals might have advised Mitt Romney to take a more aggressive stance on immigration, which could have put the wealthy former governor in the White House.
Instead, American Crossroads and its affiliated nonprofit, Crossroads GPS, spent more than $100 million in a losing effort that Sessions belittled.

Trucks are here
To the Journal editor:
I am sure glad they are not coming all way up on Marquette County Road 510 where we are.
I think going through the city of Marquette is best. They can stop for fuel also at local gas stations, maybe at restaurants the big trucks can fit in parking spots.
It will help Marquette businesses. Getting behind a big, slow moving truck, a lot people will stop at someplace to let them get ahead, provided trucks aren't too close together, that is.
We also already have a fairly steady flow of double decker logging trucks here already, going up and down CR510 to Midway Drive to U.S. 41.

So keep an eye out.

Business says Internet outage has cost thousands
Construction crew accidentally severs AT&T service line
MADISON, Wis. - A mistake by a construction company in downtown Madison cut off phone and Internet service to many, and at least one business owner said it's costing him thousands of dollars.
A construction crew on Friday severed an AT&T service line on Regent Street near West Washington Avenue. Primarily state office buildings were affected, including the Capitol, but while the state has been able to reroute phone lines to minimize the impact, some businesses haven't been so lucky.
For some customers, the outage could last as long as Friday, and Jeff Maurer, the owner of Fresh Madison Market near campus, said that's just unacceptable.
Maurer said his phone has been dead since Monday afternoon and Internet service has been barely usable.
"Internet is much more important because all of our credit cards go through the Internet," Maurer said. "Right now, we can accept debit cards, but it gets rerouted as a credit card, so it's doubling my cost. And it takes more time. It's slowing down my front end very much so."
Maurer said it has caused long lines and he has lost some customers.
"I actually had people putting down their groceries and walking out, saying they couldn't wait in line any longer. That's never happened in this store before," Maurer said.
Maurer also has an event center upstairs, and he said a $2,000 event set for Wednesday was canceled because he didn't have Internet service to offer and the client required it.18442088
In a statement, the AT&T state president said the company is working as fast as it can to fix the line and said that most customers have had their service restored.
But Maurer said there are many customers like him still without service and that he's been told it could be Friday night before his service is fully restored.
"There doesn't seem to be a real sense of urgency," Maurer said. "It's beyond frustration. It's more anger at this point."
Maurer said a big part of his business is online grocery sales and delivery. He said customers are able to place orders, but the store isn't getting the orders because of the outage.
Maurer said that as of Wednesday night, his business has two working phone lines but still no Internet service.
AT&T couldn't tell WISC-TV exactly how many customers have been affected by the outage. It said it's working around the clock to get everything back up.

Kenneth E Tyler was born in East Chicago, Indiana in 1931. His family was one of the many who emigrated from Europe to the industrial heart of northern United States for a better life.
My mother came from Budapest, Hungary and my father from a small town in Romania near the border of Hungary. Both immigrated to the United States as young children. Mother's family name was Szilagyi and father's was Tyira, which was changed to Tyler in the U.S. My father worked in the steel mills in Gary, Indiana from the age of 12, and practised stonecutting with a mason from his home town in Romania as a second occupation. 1
This experience provided the young Tyler with an early appreciation of the need for technical excellence.
Encouraged by his school music teacher, Tyler developed an interest in the visual arts and subsequently studied at the Art Institute of Chicago from 1950 to 1951. Coming from a family of modest means Tyler had to work during his student years. From 1951 to 1952 he studied liberal arts at Indiana University, which, according to Tyler, consisted of 'one semester at the campus in Bloomington, Indiana and one semester at Gary, Indiana extension while I worked full time in the Gary steel mill and attended evening classes at the extension'. 2
Tyler had planned further studies at the Sorbonne in Paris. It was during the Korean War, and while applying for his passport in September 1952, he was drafted for military service. He went through basic training, then got into Leadership School and then passed the exam for The Engineer Officers Candidate School [OCS], US Army, Fort Belvoir, Virginia. Tyler recently recalled the experience:
As an officer candidate, I excelled and when the Korean War ended in July 1953, I was offered an opportunity to leave OCS to go back to college without fulfilling my eight year officer obligation. I was given the title of Regimental Staff Artist; became editor of the Report (OCS newspaper); painted oil paintings of OCS scenes in my private painting studio and created an illustrated watercolor story of OCS for our retiring General Scott. Upon my departure in June 1954 the Army gave me all the contents of my lavish painting studio, which helped me immeasurably in art school for the next few years. 3
Photographer: Renate Ponsold Motherwell
Following his time in the army, Tyler undertook further studies, receiving a Bachelor of Art Education from the Art Institute of Chicago in 1957 and has been an ardent educator ever since. Tyler then studied lithography under Garo Antreasian at the John Herron School of Art, Indiana, graduating with a Master of Art Education in 1963 and subsequently received a grant to attend the Tamarind Lithography Workshop in Los Angeles. This workshop, co-founded by June Wayne and Clinton Adams, was established in 1960 with a Ford Foundation Grant with the intention of reviving the art of lithography, which had reached a parlous state in the United States in the immediate post-World War II period. In 1963 Ken Tyler took up a Ford Foundation fellowship at Tamarind to work under the master printer Irwin Hollander. During this time he also studied under the French master printer Marcel Durassier. Durassier, who was noted for his technical skill, had worked at the French lithography workshop, Mourlot Frères, with some of the great artists of the School of Paris, including Picasso and Miró. It was Durassier's belief that no matter what the imagery the printer should always provide the very best technical expertise for the artist. This attitude had a profound effect on Tyler. His experience at Tamarind allowed him to develop skills through research and practice, which earned him a reputation for technical wizardry, and he became a notable player in the advancement of printmaking in America.
Photographer: unknown
A creative and brilliant technician, Tyler was the Technical Director of Tamarind during 1964–65. After his Tamarind experience Tyler, now in his early 30s, was keen to be an independent player. He was sufficiently 'desperate' to 'gamble everything' and in 1965 Tyler with his wife Kay set out to work with artists from 'the very top' 4 and moved to establish his own print workshop in Los Angeles, Gemini Ltd. As Tyler later remembered, 'my workshop was a modest backroom space rented from Jerry Solomon's frame shop.' 5 In the following year Tyler established the fine print publishing house, Gemini GEL (Graphic Editions Ltd), with partners Stanley Grinstein and Sidney B Felsen. The intention of the three Directors was to publish state-of-the-art prints. Gemini GEL achieved its reputation because of Tyler's philosophy. A comment made by MoMA's William Lieberman in a lecture at the University of Southern California in 1965, had 'shocked' Tyler by stating the obvious — 'that great art is made by great artists.' With this in mind, Tyler deduced that 'great prints are made only by great artists'. 6 He therefore set out to encourage and cajole the very best artists of his day to work with him, promising them: 'Here is a workshop, there are no rules, no restrictions, do what you want to do'. 7 He took inspiration from the approach to printmaking by his idol Pablo Picasso, which was increasingly to throw out the rule book.
The value of the collaborative relationship between master printer and key artists is evident in the National Gallery of Australia's major collection of editioned original prints, screens, paperworks, illustrated books and multiples, along with rare or unique proofs and drawings produced at the Tyler's various workshops: Gemini Ltd and Gemini GEL in Los Angeles; and Tyler Workshop and Tyler Graphics Ltd at Bedford and Mount Kisco (both in New York State). The seeds of this collection were sown in 1973 when the Gallery acquired over 600 prints, rare proofs and related drawings from Tyler. Great riches arrived and a subsequent acquisition policy — formalised in 1982 as the Continuing Print Program — furthered this process over the years with acquisitions by way of purchase and gift from Tyler's workshops.
In 2002 the Kenneth Tyler Collection was augmented by a major gift and purchase, to form a storehouse of the major works produced at the Tyler workshops from the 1960s to the present (by major artists of the contemporary period). An accompanying exhibition, publication, 8 and website The big Americans: the art of collaboration, were produced for the occasion, contributing to the Gallery's 20th birthday celebrations. In addition, and to complement this collection of original art works, there was a gift of rare and unique proofs along with documentation consisting of photographic records, film and audio — all significant primary source historical material recording the working methods of artists and printers and their collaborations from the 1960s to the present day. Before his death in February 2001, Dr Poynton — the important benefactor for the collection of international prints, drawings and illustrated books — enthusiastically endorsed the proposal and his funds assisted in the acquisition.
The Kenneth Tyler Collection documents an extraordinary story of artist/printer collaboration in post-war printmaking in America. As each artist brought their individual talents and ideas to the studio, Tyler was able to facilitate and also to extend the possibilities available to them. Many artists including Anni Albers, Josef Albers, Helen Frankenthaler, David Hockney, Jasper Johns, Ellsworth Kelly, Roy Lichtenstein, Joan Mitchell, Robert Motherwell, Bruce Nauman, Claes Oldenburg, Robert Rauschenberg James Rosenquist, Edward Ruscha, Masami Teraoka, Wayne Thiebaud, Steven Sorman, Frank Stella and Andy Warhol produced some of their finest work in a workshop atmosphere that celebrated creativity. 9

U.S. Government Announces $17 Million in Additional Humanitarian Assistance; Total Now $47 Million
The United States continues to be a leader in supporting the work of international agencies in the region and coordinating with international and multilateral donors and partners.
The new funds include a $10 million contribution toward the United Nations World Food Program's emergency food operations and $2 million to the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees in response to the United Nations Regional Flash Appeal for the Libyan Crisis, and $5 million to the International Committee of the Red Cross.
The United States is now providing a total of $47 million in emergency assistance for the humanitarian needs of conflict victims, vulnerable migrants, and others displaced by the increasing civil unrest in Libya.
Assistance, Evacuation and Repatriation
Third country nationals who have fled the violence in Libya continue to require evacuation to their home countries. The United States is working with these countries, the International Organization for Migration (IOM) and other international partners to assist these people to go home.
The United States is now providing:
- $13 million to IOM to support the transportation of thousands people from Africa, South Asia, and Southeast Asia who fled Libya and are now in Tunisia and Egypt.
- $7 million to the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), which is working in both Tunisia and Egypt, including managing the transit center in Tunisia near the Tunisia-Libya border that is currently providing basic services to thousands of migrants; and
- $7 million for the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) to assist their efforts in meeting humanitarian needs in the region arising from the unrest and armed confrontations in Libya. This work includes medical and surgical care and other emergency needs such as water and sanitation.
The U.S. government has also provided military flights to repatriate close to 800 Egyptian nationals from Tunisia to Egypt, and to deliver emergency relief commodities to the Tunisian Red Crescent.
Humanitarian Response inside Libya
As part of the $47 million, the United States has set aside up to $10 million to support international and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) working to meet humanitarian needs. We are directly funding key NGOs operating inside Libya, building their capacity and strengthening the provision of humanitarian assistance. These funds are ensuring that health facilities in eastern Libya have adequate medical supplies and staff, and are enabling the emergency distribution of blankets, hygiene kits, and water containers in Benghazi.
The United States has delivered two Emergency Health Kits for onward transport to locations inside Libya. Each of these kits, which are packed to UN World Health Organization (WHO) standards, contains basic medications and supplies to treat diseases common in humanitarian crises and will meet the primary healthcare needs of 10,000 people for three months. We have purchased five additional health kits and are prepared to send them forward as needed.
We are also providing funds to the WHO for its emergency health response in Libya, covering medical supplies, basic services, health needs and early warning and response system for epidemic prone diseases.
Food Assistance
The United States has approved a $10 million contribution, more than a quarter of the $39.2 million requested toward the United Nations World Food Program (WFP)'s emergency food operations in response to the United Nations Regional Flash Appeal for the Libyan Crisis.
This U.S. contribution will help WFP respond to immediate food requirements of those who have fled Libya into Tunisia and Egypt, and to pre-position food to assist those who are most vulnerable to a deterioration of humanitarian conditions within Libya, and help alleviate the economic impact of the crisis on the most vulnerable communities in Tunisia It consists of a combination of cash support for WFP, which will enable local procurement to meet the most immediate needs, and in-kind deliveries of food to be made available for distribution within Libya based on emergency needs as they arise.
U.S. Government Disaster Assistance Response Team
The United States has deployed a Disaster Assistance Response Team (DART) to the region. In addition to identifying humanitarian needs on the ground, this team of disaster assistance specialists is helping to coordinate the international efforts to ensure the people suffering from this crisis are provided humanitarian assistance as quickly as possible. U.S. Embassy personnel in Tunis and Cairo are also fully engaged in working to address humanitarian needs.
An International Effort
The United States is committed to working with the United Nations, the European Union and other European partners, the Arab League, the African Union and Libya's neighbors to respond to humanitarian needs. U.S. support for IOM, UNHCR, the Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) and WFP are direct contributions to projects contained in the Regional Flash Appeal for the Libyan Crisis.
Jerry in Pennsylvania writes:
I know the situation in Libya is complex, but I want to convey an option. It looks like the rebels are losing. Also it looks like certain factions within the rebel opposition may not support democracy. The UN, Arab League, African Union and/or other actors may or may not be looking at the option of negotiating a cease fire. If not, I feel that this should be an option Negotiating a cease fire (could possibly include regime change) may be able to save the rebels from getting defeated in which this would look bad for the actors supporting Gaddafi to leave power.
Willie C. in Ohio writes:
Well, all of what you're saying is obviously directed towards those who are currently emotionally distraught of the deaths and injuries portrayed in Libya. However, you in the nation's capital know that contrasted against what deaths the U.S. lies and deceit leading to the illegal invasion of Iraq caused – An estimated 300,000, the revolution in Libya is nothing. Worse, there was no serious concern whatever when the Israeli IDF attacked Gaza using F-16 aircraft fitted with guided munitions, M-60 Tanks and Helicopter Gun ship's to slaughter Palestinian's equipped with nothing more than AK 47's and home made rockets. What's being proposed against Libya, Sanctions, confiscation of $30 billion dollars and imposition of a "no fly zoneâ€. None of this has anything whatever to do with humanitarian concerns at all. As the U.S. did in the case of Israeli Rebels in 1948 France, apparently, was selected this time, to recognize the rebels in the eastern portion of the nation as being the legitimate government.
Again, in less than three years you've trashed the overwhelming mandate presented to you by the people of this nation. You've stepped in and submitted to corporate multinational interest, whose sole objective is nothing less than subverting our nations Constitution. Meanwhile you've stood by saying little, meaning you've even turned your back on the heavy support labor unions provided you during your campaign. This all means that U.S. corporations are now attempting to return the nation to a pre 1900's era where workers held no status whatever and could be worked like dogs until they dropped from exhaustion, they could be brutalized at the employers will and employers did not have to recognize any safety rules. You promised unions that you'd walk with them but during the recent Scott Walker Republican Corporate Tea Party attack on Wisconsin's Unions you did nothing but utter a few meaningless neutral words. If you were not capable of confronting the challenges and threats of the Presidential office it would have been better for all that you'd have not accepted.

@ Willy C. in Ohio
So like...Dude! it took you this long to take off your far-out on the left-wing liberal rose-colored glasses only to discover that you helped elect a moderate to become president?
Well I'd call that "progressive's progress" a slight return to reality....(chuckle)
Learn something new every day, it will keep you young at heart.
Things may not be all you think they are cracked up to be, but if you're looking for sympathy because you feel betrayed by the one you chose to vote for, step right up and join the line of generations of Americans that came before you.
Just sayin' as some of us were weaned politically on Watergate.

John in Wyoming writes:
The Libyan protesters should have structured their protests to be peaceful in nature. I felt that this would have garnered more political support similar to what happened in Egypt. In support of that, maybe the international community can persuade the protesters to change their strategy to rely on peaceful protests than a civil war strategy. It looks as if Gaddafi does not slaughter his people in a senseless way, he will when this battle both politically and militarily.
Jessica in Georgia writes:
It seems that the Arab League is now asking for international assistance concerning the Libya situation. To me it seems that they have lost credibility to handle the situation. They should have asked for international assistance on a "no fly zone" a lot sooner than now. Implementing a "no fly zone" now probably will not atop the rebels from losing the war in which the Arab League would have to take a lot of responsibility for. I feel that the rest of the international community should not take responsibility for this situation getting out of hand so far. So far overall, I feel that the Obama administration has done a good job, including the UN, in handling this situation.

Someone pointed out earlier that NATO needed a UN Mandate to act. This is simply not true.

Book Review - Eat & Run: My Unlikely Journey to Ultramarathon Greatness - Page 3
From there, it's a whirlwind ride through Jurek's life. His forthright honesty makes the book a page-turner. Throughout Eat & Run, Jurek questions, always questions, everything from his diet to training to motivations to relationships. And he is always reading, from philosophical to nutritional tomes, and sharing the insights he gains (or loses) in his own life.
At the end of each chapter, Jurek shares a vegan recipe and sometimes training or technique tips, but I was so engaged with his story that I blew past these until I had finished the book.

How to update your website with WebDAV (Technical Notes)
In order to access your web space* on our servers, you can use the WebDAV protocol ("Web Distributed Authoring and Versioning" -- an extension of the HTTP protocol). Until recently, the access was based on the FTP protocol, which then proved not to ensure at best our users' anonymity and privacy.
Our Webdav service, like al other A/I services, works on an SSL connection. Before using Webdav you should install the A/I SSL certificate available from our Certification Authority website.
The only information you need in order to connect to our website through WebDAV is the server name (https://www.autistici.org/dav/ the same name for all users), your user name, which you can find in the 'Websites' section of your User Panel, and the password we sent you when your website was activated. It is important that you always use www.autistici.org as the server name, or some clients might get confused and fail.
The directory containing your website is called html-sitename,
and it's the one you'll find as soon as you connect to your server via WebDAV.
If you want to change you WebDAV password, you can do it directly in your User Panel: log in with your mail user and password, click to enter the Websites section and look for the 'Change password' link.
In order to connect to a website through the WebDAV protocol, you need a client program, which will vary according to the operating system you use.
Linux - Nautilus (graphical interface)
To connect to your website with WebDAV, you can use your file browser Nautilus (the one you use when you explore your directories in your pc).
Open any directory in your pc.
After moving your mouse to the top left File menu, select Connect to Server. A box will appear: here you can enter the data to connect to the remote server.
Fill the Server Address with davs://www.autistici.org/dav/username, replacing "username" with your actual WebDAV user name. Click "Connect".
Enter your WebDAV username and password (which are different from the ones of your email account) and click "Connect".
In your file browser, you'll see the content of your folder on the server.
Upload your website to the directory "html-sitename", and it will become visible online.
In the bottom left corner, you will notice a "Network" section, where you can find a link to your remote directory until you disconnect from the server.
To disconnect from the server, click on the small triangle highlighted by the blue circle in the picture. Enjoy!
Linux - Cadaver (command line interface)
With GNU/Linux systems, the most widely used client for connecting to a website
through WebDAV is cadaver,
which unfortunately only works from command line: download the package and install it.
To connect to a terminal, write the following command:
$ cadaver https://www.autistici.org/dav/nomeaccountwebAccept the certificate and enter your user name and password for the web access (you'll find these data in your user panel).
With cadaver, your interface is from command line. The commands that you will most likely need are the following:
- cd: to move to a particular directory in the server
- lcd: to move to a particular directory in your pc
- ls: to visualize the content of a directory in the server
- lls: to visualize the content of a directory in your pc
- put: to upload a file from your pc to the server
- mput: to upload more than one file or directory (add -r) from your pc to the server
- get: to download a file from the server to your pc
- mget: to download more than one file or directory (add -r) from the server to your pc
davfs2 (riga di comando automatizzabile)
Linux users could also use davfs2 to mount the site in a directory.
First, install it, on Debian:
# apt-get install davfs2
Add your user to the group 'davfs2':
# gpasswd -a youruser davfs2
Create the directory where you want to mount the site:
# mkdir /media/username
give the permission to your user:
# chown username /media/username
$ chmod 0700 -R /media/username
Modify fstab to allow mounting/unmounting the directory:
# nano /etc/fstab
### add this line at the bottom of the file fstab:
https://www.autistici.org/dav/username /media/username davfs noauto,users,rw,uid=youruser 0 0
If you want to mount using your user, give the setuid permission to the executable,
# chmod u+s /sbin/mount.davfs
or, better for security, mount as root or using sudo.
Try if it works:
$ mount /media/username
If you get error "/sbin/mount.davfs2 file /home/youruser/.davfs2/secrets has wrong permissions" be sure that the file ~/.davfs2/secrets has permission 0600:
$ chmod 0600 ~/.davfs2/secrets
If you want to avoid entering the username every time (and also password, not recommended unless you have an encrypted partition) you can modify the file secrets in this way:
$ nano ~/.davfs2/secrets
/mount/username username password #password is not mandatory, if you want to insert it every time.
To umount: $ umount /media/username You can also set automount at the boot, changing the parameter in fstab from 'noauto' to 'auto', and specifying the password in the file secrets
In the Finder menu, select 'Go/Connect to server' and you will see a window, where you should enter these data:
The Server address should be
https://www.autistici.org/dav/DAVUSERNAME (replace 'DAVUSERNAME'
with your user name).
Now click on the + sign so as to add this address to your favourites, then click 'Connect'.
Enter your user name and password (see above), and you will access a sort of disk where you can upload and download files. When you wish to disconnect from your space, do as you would do with any hard disk or USB pen: for instance, click the triangle-shaped icon beside the server name.
Windows / Mac
Besides using the dreadful Internet Explorer, you can download a specific WebDAV client such as CyberDuck.
Once you have installed the software, launch the program.
- Click on 'New Connection'
- Enter your data:
- Server: www.autistici.org
- Port: 443
- User Name: your WebDAV user name
- Password: your WebDAV password
- More Options - Path: /dav/DAVUSERNAME
- Click on 'Connection'
- Enter your user name and password
Now you should see a window with the directories of your web space.
You can connect with the 'WebDAV Nav' App (free or pro version), which you will find in the App Store.
- Launch the App.
- Click the + sign
- Enter the connection data:
- Name: whatever you like -- its only use is to remember what it's all about.
- ServerURL: https://www.autistici.org/dav/DAVUSERNAME (replace DAVUSERNAME with your user name, which you'll find in the user panel.
- User Name: the name you found in your User Panel (yes, the same as before).
- Password: enter your DAV access password.
- Click "Save".
- Now you can see a window with the name you've chosen: click on it, and if you visualize a window with light-blue folders, it means you are connected.

Home > The College > Academics > Library
The May H. Baker Memorial Library serves as the focal point of a cadet's academic life at Valley Forge Military Academy & College, acting as a gateway for both independent and collective learning, research, and discovery. Located in the center of campus, the Library is dedicated to the memory of May Hagenbuch Baker, wife of Valley Forge's founder, Lieutenant General Milton G. Baker. The contemporary library is a forum in which students, facilitated by teachers and librarians, come to take part in the academic traditions of the past while engaging the present, ever-changing world in which they live, seen through new methods and technologies. Only through the understanding and synthesis of the past and present, the old and new, the physical and the virtual, can students truly be prepared for the future.
Librarians interact with students and teachers in meeting information needs and achieving instructional goals. The Faculty members of the Academy and College collaborate with the Library Staff to fulfill and support research-based curricula. Students become literate in the new ways in which information is organized, and may be presented and utilized, they learn how to access and evaluate information by navigating not only online academic databases but the internet as a whole.
The Library Collection itself contains over 80,000 print volumes, including the best fiction and nonfiction, classic and contemporary works. Notable collection strengths include American and World History, Military History and Technology, Geopolitics, and English and French Literature. Students also have access to 5,000 plus volumes from 3,000 plus libraries and regional librarian consortia in Pennsylvania through inter-library loans. Students also have access to periodical and newspaper subscriptions available through the research databases, which may be accessed in the Library, in the barracks, or at home available through the VFMAC webpage.
The library computer services are fully networked to the web. The Computer Learning Lab contains 15 PC's, faculty station and Smart Board for classes to receive formal Information Literacy and research skills instruction. The Library also houses the Learning and Support Centers (LASC), which are open six days a week and is staffed by a dedicated team which includes a full time Director, several work-study students, and peer and professional tutors. The LASC center is fully equipped with computer stations, Smart Board, technology and resources to maximize the full academic potential of our college cadets. The Library Commons Area provides open access to computer stations but cadets are encouraged to bring their own laptops for academic research in the library. The Moore, Stein, Weller Naval Room is a conference room located in the East Wing of the Library and is available for reservation upon request. The Cadet Counseling Center is located on the second floor of the Baker Library and is an integral part of the Character Development program at VFMAC. Working with the academic and Commandant's Departments, the counseling center helps cadets address social and emotional issues.

This report results from a request from Directorate-General for Energy (DG ENER) to start a data collection effort to develop a catalogue of Smart Grids projects in Europe and to carry out a qualitative analysis of their results. The analysis we carried out contributed to the drafting of the Commission Communication "Smart Grids: from innovation to deployment", adopted in April 2011. This survey of Smart Grid projects in Europe brings together input and feedback from a variety of stakeholders through a cooperative and transparent process. The interim version of this study has been presented on many occasions at expert meetings, including the EU Task Force on Smart Grids and the European Electricity Grid Initiative. Their comments and observations have been carefully taken into consideration and, where possible, integrated into the analysis.

Class Notes

In June, Princeton's campus lost to retirement an eloquent teller of
its tales. William Harris has for the past 14 years been Princeton's
archivist and librarian for special collections. He seems to know all
there is to know about Princeton Seminary—the whos, whats, wheres, and
whens since the founding plan of PTS was drawn up in 1811. Harris counts
himself privileged to have had such an intimate relationship with this
institution that, he says, for its whole history has had "sound learning
and vital piety" at its heart.
His own work at Princeton has had the same heart, which comes across as
this gentle Indiana gentleman excitedly considers how the Pentateuch
relates to his vocation.
by William O. Harris
"I think a large part of what I do is an extension of the fifth
commandment—to honor our fathers and mothers in the faith," he says.
"There's certainly a lot to honor in the Princeton tradition. And I've
tried to make it a little easier to honor our fathers and mothers here.
Also, I feel guilty when we tell bad stories about good people. That's
hateful gossip. And that's bearing false witness, to again use a
commandment. So I've tried to dig out a lot of the good that has gone on
here at the Seminary."
Some of that digging has been literal.
He found the decaying remnants of the Seminary students' 19th-century
missionary museum buried in the mud in the Carriage House's cellar. The
valuable items he found—from Buddha statues to Chinese vases to an African
witchdoctor's mask—have been restored, and PTS professor of the history of
religions Richard Young has since been doing some research on the items
and on the history of the Seminary's early missions involvement. (Harris
points out that Princeton sent its first missionary, Henry Woodward, Class
of 1818, to Sri Lanka in 1820 and went on to send more missionaries during
that time than any other seminary in the country.)
Another proud achievement was finding and then restoring some 90 portraits
of PTS-associated people that had been "piled in the basement of the
library like cordwood. Many were ripped and torn by frames jamming into
each other, and the frames themselves were in awful shape." They now hang
around the Seminary, most prominently in Mackay's Main Lounge and the
classrooms of Stuart Hall, each with a small corresponding card that tells
the story of the subject.
"I love that text in Hebrews 11—that we're surrounded by a great cloud of
witnesses," he says fondly (a man who speaks as though the mid-nineteenth
century were bumping right up next to today). "I think we ought to honor
that history we have at the Seminary, rather than to neglect or condemn

Harris arrived at Princeton Seminary as a student in 1951 from his home in
southern Indiana. (In June Harris returned to Indiana and moved into a
retirement home—but not to worry, he had already contacted the University
of Southern Indiana library, and they have since gained an adept
volunteer.) He was Presbyterian and wanted to be a minister. He studied
hard and also had fun.
Some of the fun, he says, came as part of dealing with what he calls a
constant and unhappy part of the Seminary's past hundred years. "There's
been a tension between those who are aggressively adjusting to the culture
and those who are clinging defensively to the past," he says sadly. It's
still here today. On a solemn note, it led to a split of the Seminary in
1929. On a lighter note, during Harris's time some people ("well," he
sighs with a smile, "me included") would torment the conservatives by
drinking a little too much and then rolling a cannonball down the stairs
of Alexander Hall. The directory was also dubbed "the fundy finder" when
he was a student.
After graduation, Harris served as a U.S. Navy chaplain and at several
churches before landing as associate pastor at the First Presbyterian
Church in Philadelphia. He enjoyed the ministry, especially with youth and
those who were living on the street. But the demands became too much, and
the support for his downtown ministry was too little. High blood pressure
and a doctor's subsequent order meant change was necessary. So Harris
started down a different path and enrolled in a one-year library science
master's degree at Indiana University.
The reminiscence turns sad and he says, "I've never been able quite to
reconcile…well, I've always been a bit embarrassed about leaving pastoral
ministry. I've always thought it was a kind of failure on my part. But I'm
not sure what else I could do."
Well, what he did was turn his 25-year career in libraries into a
ministry. He has ministered by helping people in their research, which, he
says, "I've thoroughly enjoyed." At Princeton, he's aided research on
Puritanism and Presbyterianism—as well as about Archibald Alexander
(1772–1851, "the seminary's first professor, who still has many books in
print"); Theodore Wright (1797–1847, "the third African American to study
at an American institution of higher learning, and the first to attend an
American seminary"); Charles Hodge (1797–1878, "America's greatest scholar
of Augustine in the 19th century"); Emily Dickinson (1830–1886, "who had a
great soul friendship—well, some say affair—with a married alum who
ministered in Philadelphia but brought her often to Princeton, and
mentions the town and Seminary in some of her poetry"); B.B. Warfield
(1851–1921, "a great forgotten defender of Darwin"); and Henry James Sr.
(1811–1882, "who attended PTS for two years, and was the father of William
and Henry James, the psychologist and novelist, respectively"), to name a
He has also ministered by staying involved and preaching in local
churches, by taking hundreds of students and visitors on walking tours of
the Princeton campus, by bringing history's truth to light, by being a
steward of the Seminary's artifacts, and by encouraging those who have
worked for him.
He ministered by making the Princeton community more aware of the cloud
of witnesses by digging up their stories and then conveying them with
colorful, gentlemanly flare. Harris helped to keep alive the witness of
many great (flawed though they were) men and women—witnesses most
importantly to the gospel, but also to the Seminary's ministry. Princeton
Seminary is grateful that this historian/minister kept his head in the
