In his first foray into short fiction, award-winning poet and memoirist Jimmy Santiago Baca explores the territory where old-world traditions meet new-world ambitions, and characters try to make something of themselves, while keeping their souls intact. In "Matilda's Garden," an old farmer pines for his wife of fifty years who died in her sleep one night months before. He is lured to the garden in the middle of the night by what he thinks is her presence, only to meet a gruesome fate. In "The Importance of a Piece of Paper," two siblings must face the brother who has betrayed them by selling his share of the family land, leaving an entire community vulnerable. In "The Three Sons of Julia," a long-suffering mother whose one request is that all her sons come home for the fourth of July, watches her dream burst as two of her sons-one a successful businessman and the other a hard-drinking ex-con-nearly destroy her house, and each other. Merging a refreshing innocence with a profound understanding of the world's brutality, The Importance of a Piece of Paper is a daring and arresting work that is at once fearless, tender, and inspiring.

Chapter OneMatilda's Garden
The day after they were married, Guadalupe drove Matilda in his old, flatbed farm truck, rattling down the long potholed and gullied dirt road, and parked in a field his family used for grazing livestock. He described the house he was going to build for her. It would be of adobe, with hardwood floors; the living room windows would face east with a view of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains; the kitchen would look out on the sheep sheds, hay barn, and tractor shed; the pantry and enclosed back porch would be divided by an archway separating them from the kitchen.
When they got out of the truck, he continued to gesture where the solid-core cedar back door would be, how it would open to the west and north fields, and how the three bedrooms would look out on the mesa to the south. The entire house would be heated by two wood stoves. To the east, he would dig a ditch from the acequia madre, or "mother ditch," which had water in it year-round, run it through the property, and build a small pond and bridges where the ditch meandered through the yard into the orchard and pastures.
As he talked, Matilda became thoughtful as she gazed over the grassy meadows. He was afraid she might be having reservations. She was wearing blue canvas slip-ons, a light green skirt with green nopal cactus patterns, and a white blouse trimmed with red thread. She walked around nimble as a pronghorn deer, turning one way, looking at him, her eyelids squinted, the morning sun reflecting off her raven hair, blazing it to an even darker black. She knelt to sift earth through her palms.
"Is there something bothering you?" he asked, perplexed by her sudden distance and worried she might not like his plans.
She didn't answer.
He watched her, awed by the familiar sensation that she seemed more an extension of nature's trees, grasses, and wild flowers than the offspring of humble parents. He recalled the first time he had seen her, how bored he had been in church that morning, gazing out the windows east to the Sangre de Cristo Mountains. She was singing in the choir for Easter morning services, wearing a knee-length white skirt and yellow ribbons tied to the tips of her long black braids. Light diffused from the stained glass window above the choir loft and bathed her in luminescence. When she sang, the doves fluttered on the window ledge and sunlight turned red and gold and blue as it passed through the glass panels, transforming Matilda into an angel in her descent from heaven, sent to earth to specially bless his heart that morning.
When he had kissed her the first time after their fourth date, he could taste the fragrance of sage and its indescribable spicy resin on her lips. And when she had caressed his face one evening lying down under an elm tree by the river, her fingers smelled like wild honeysuckle vines. When they went to hear his uncle play violin for the San Pablo fiestas at the church, he danced with her and she moved the way his uncle's violin bow careened across the strings, firm and elegant, provoking a desire in him to swing her all around.
Now he studied her walking quietly, biting her red and shapely upper lip: He followed her eyes like a crow staring intently at oval cherries on an uppermost branch. She blended in with the grass and the lush alfalfa's blue blossoms swaying heavily with the breeze coming in from the Rio Grande river nearby.
She finally turned. "This whole place will be a garden, and you I will nurture with the utmost love and care." She came up to him and kissed him. She reached down and picked up two small grains from an ant pile. She held one out to him pinched between her index finger and thumb. "Put this under your tongue, make a wish, and spit it out. The ants carry it to their place of dreams and it will come true."
"I already have my dream," he said, and looped his arm around her waist. He pointed to a huge roadrunner speeding past with a lizard in its beak. It leaped up on a fence post, tail twitching, head jerking in short jabs as it gulped the lizard down.
That was more than fifty years ago. He had been seventeen years old; she sixteen. Now the old adobe house creaked like an ancient, Mexican garden ornament, built more for flowers to inhabit than humans; the heady aroma of Matilda's gardens swaddled him in a blanket of heavy, humid sweetness. She was right, of course; she had made the whole farm her garden and nurtured him with her love.
Flowers and vines spread even into his dreams. Their scent had smoky shapes like blue herons and hummingbirds and parrots, drifting and transforming into cranes as they broke through the dream surface from the depths of his mind and into the reality of another dawn and woke him. He could swear, as his eyes adjusted to the dark in his bedroom, that he saw white wings fluttering midair across the room and he heard Matilda's voice coming from the field beyond the window.
He looked at the clock: 4:12 a.m. The chill had come early in late August, leaves tinged yellow, Canadian geese and sandhill cranes migrating south to the Bosque del Apache Wildlife Refuge. He turned over onto his left side, snuggled deeper under the quilt, tucked it under his chin, and pulled back the loose blanket to his left where Matilda used to sleep next to him. He stared at the stone in the place where her head would have been. It was now exactly three months since she had passed away.
He was crazy to believe she might appear because of the stone, and he knew it. Matilda had found it on one of her hikes to the mesa where she'd go for the seasonal herbs that grew there. The stone was sheared smoothly in half and fit comfortably in the palm of his hand. The cut side had a light blue horizon, a dark brown range of mountain ridges, and a white moon rising over them. For weeks now, after settling himself into bed, he had placed the stone next to him hoping his personal ritual might summon her from the spirit world to visit him briefly. Of course, he didn't believe it would, but he was certain that these private rites would somehow let her know that he was always thinking about her, and that consoled him.
Since her death he'd been clutching the stone for hours before sleep, rubbing it with his old, calloused thumb, whispering her name until he fell asleep. He believed he could retain some residue from her sweat or skin on his fingers. It started with the stone, but soon encompassed other of her possessions. Believing that she could feel his contact, he would take her favorite head scarf, hold it to his nose, and breathe in her smell. On one occasion he spent an entire day collecting the strands left in the bristles of the brush she used to comb her long gray hair. He would pray while he held the twisted braid of her hair along his wrinkled lips, sometimes even tasting it. He had finally twined it into a knot and placed it in a small leather pouch she had given him that he wore around his neck for good luck. He lay in bed a moment longer, thinking how strange his behavior had become, and yet it pleased him because it kept him believing he was in touch with Matilda.
A few weeks before, absorbed with memories of her and desiring a deeper, visual connection, he had decided to construct an altar with her favorite saints-Our Lady of Chestahova, the dark virgin; La Virgen de Guadalupe; San Martin de Porras; and some strange god from India that Matilda loved, Hanuman Ji. He collected everything he could find that belonged to her and set it on the altar. Every morning he rose, and with somber sincerity, sliced an apple and placed the cut pieces on a dish so that her spirit might have something to eat that day. And only after communicating with Matilda through this sacred rite would he begin his day.
The alarm clock on the bed stand rang and he pushed down the button. He got up and dressed.
In the last week or so he had been thinking about her last inhalation. In his dreams she was trying to breathe again. Her breath became wild purple lilacs in his mind, their vines curling out everywhere, so real to him he was certain that one day the driveway would brim with them. Wild purple lilacs swinging in the wind, seeds blooming at the front door, tendrils shaking against the window glass, nestled in the crevices, purple petals cascading off the roof. Maybe it was her spiritual self working through these images, creating a bridge from her world to his. All he knew was that somehow she was communicating with him in the way that she loved most, through flowers.
Without her, it had been difficult for him to respond to other people. Beyond accepting condolences from friends at the cemetery, he'd had no inclination to converse. He let his daughter or one of his sons handle the conversations with people interested in sharing experiences they'd had with Matilda. He found he was comfortable living in a world without them, but not without her. He was there in body but otherwise absent, and he trained his thoughts and feelings on her so intensely that some people attributed his lack of attention to the fact that he was losing his mind.
He went into the kitchen, flicked on the light, filled the teapot with water, placed a spoon and the jar of instant coffee on the table, and sat down. He opened last Sunday's newspaper and leafed through it while waiting for the water to boil.
He scratched his gray stubbly chin as he read the lead article, thinking he wasn't crazy at all, not compared to the rest of the world. Sixty miles east, in a town called Roswell, Martian-seeking tourists, drawn by rumors of alien spacecraft having landed there, were streaming in by the hundreds to view the extraterrestrials. The writer quoted some of the visitors as saying they had seen spaceships land in their fields or swearing they'd encountered aliens roaming ditches at midnight, suddenly coming up on them walking home alone. As he finished reading the article, he dismissed any lingering fear that he might have had about becoming senile-thinking of his Matilda's breath exuding from the plants was his way of coping with her absence, and he wasn't going to bother himself over what others suspected might be happening to him in his sudden isolation and silence. He was certain the breathing he heard in places around the farm was Matilda trying to speak her presence to him.
The day before she had passed away, while sweeping and cleaning the kitchen after breakfast, Matilda had reassured him that she was going to be all right. That Monday evening she took to bed complaining about having trouble breathing. Later, he sat with her in the bedroom and read the Bible, hoping to revive her spirits. They talked and she told him she was expecting to be up in time for morning coffee. After she had fallen asleep, he lingered at the window with his back to Matilda fast asleep in bed behind him.
Her wrenching gasp interrupted his thoughts and made him turn in fear. She panted forcefully, choking for breath. She sat upright, bulging eyes startled by a seemingly frightening specter hovering above the bed. Her chest rose, neck swelled, teeth clamped in a defiant fight to breathe. He looked around the room, wanting to challenge whatever sight had wrung the life from his sweet Matilda, desperate to strangle it with his age-mottled hands.
She fell back on the bed, staring up at the plaster ceiling as if some spirit had violently dragged out her breath through her opened mouth, her eyes open wide in frozen terror at its strength and size.
He had cradled her in his arms, repeating not to worry, he was there, his chin against her matted hair, hollow, gaunt shadows on her fevered face, purple rings around her eye sockets, his hands rubbing her clammy neck, her sweat-drenched nightgown clinging to her bony shoulders. She groaned for all the air in the room, in the house, in the universe. And then, after a time, she sighed her longest, softest exhalation, her breath blowing the curtains and seeming to turn the windmills patterned on them; the alfalfa outside sucked in her breath, the cultivated field soil, the wild green forest by the river, the tractor paths between the chili rows, the rutted road sloping upward toward town from the river bottom, all seemed to inhale her last breath.
"Oh well," he heard himself say, and sipped the last of his coffee. He pulled on a light faded cotton jacket over his denim overalls, patted his straw sombrero onto his balding gray-haired head, and before going out he wiped down the kitchen counters, hung the dishrag over the sink faucet, and turned off the light. He took her prize-winning rose from the bell jar inside the china cabinet and put it in his jacket pocket.
Outside, in the tractor shed, he pulled the choke and coaxed the gas pedal until, on the third crank, it sputtered and coughed into a low unsteady idle. He backed out slowly across the front yard, went alongside the sheep pens and around the barn, behind the house and along the orchards to the fields to the west. His headlights swept across the wall of cottonwood trees and, underneath them, the evergreen bushes Matilda had planted, and briefly lighted his handiwork-warped planks set on sawhorses lined with mason jars full of screws and washers, spools of baling wire, ancient tools, and rusting machinery parts.
The sheep bleated in the sheds. He drove past the mesquite corral where his three old nag horses whinnied and rubbed their sides on the stick fence. They'd all be fed already if Matilda were still with him.
He imagined her having coffee and toast, stripping a few ears of corn to check if they were ready for picking, tinkering with the tractor's carb, scraping off hardened dirt from the disc blades, snipping ripe tomatoes and chili peppers from the garden, slapping off dew from freshly picked garden vegetables against the sink sides. Matilda had his same wonder and love for farm life, and he couldn't express in words the immense satisfaction that welled up in him when he was in the field with her, shovels in their hands, soil under their sneakers, sweat pouring down their brows and backs.
His shepherd, Buster, came bounding out of the apple orchard to his right. He remembered how the dog had chased the truck to the chapel, dashing with tongue lolling the whole way. It was the farthest Buster had ever followed him, and while the priest gave his eulogy, Buster stood outside barking and scratching at the door. Everyone heard the dog but ignored him. Guadalupe was mortified, and in any other situation he would have given Buster a few good smacks, but he knew the dog was suffering some kind of trauma. Buster was up on the seat next to him now.
He turned the tractor onto a dry path between the rows and headed west of the house, to the open fields. He passed her vegetable garden.
The burly guttering of the tractor put him into a trance and he barely noticed Buster jump down. He let his mind ease into the exhaust stack's smoky incantation.

(The second book in the Time and Light series)
A novel by L R Fredericks
FATE is the story of Lord Francis Damory's quest for the elixir of immortality. Set against the magnificent background of the eighteenth century where science and magic, death and beauty meet in the gilded salons of the decadent nobility and the brothels and debtors' prisons of London, Francis tells of his many love affairs and his deadly duels, his encounters with courtesans and castrati, alchemists and anatomists, Rosicrucians, visionaries, monsters, charlatans, spies and assassins. His travels take him through France, across the Alpine passes to Venice and the pirate-infested Mediterranean Sea to Egypt, Cyprus and distant, exotic Constantinople on the trail of his mysterious ancestor Tobias - who might, just possibly, still be alive...

It lookd gorgeous from the outside (okay, so when I drive by during the day, it seems to look really nice inside) and I was just wondering if anyone has been and can recommend or warn away from this place.

Randus - The Rusty Knuckle
When Randus opened the door, a cacophony of pipe smoke and yelling greeted him very aggressively. The bar was jam-packed (as it usually was after first harvests) with individuals of varying race, size and stature.
His mechanical spider crab on his shoulder clicked and whirred, excitedly.
"What is it, Assistant?" Randus asked, still standing in the doorway.
The metallic creature lifted up his claw to point at a table in the crowd. Randus saw who it was pointing at, smiled and marched over.
At the table was a chubby, grey-skinned woman talking to a lady clad in full plate armor. Inbetween them stood a humongous grey-skinned demon with black glasses.
He approached the table mid-conversation. "--But then I said that 'no, you have to make the shipment today...' I'm a professional. How could they do this to me? Gods, it's just been so stressful..." The grey-skinned woman said, shaking her head.
"Cathy!" Randus said, raising his arms.
The three turned their heads in his direction, and the chubby woman spoke. "Randus!" She ran around the table to hug him. "It's been so long!"
He chuckled and hugged her back. Then he turned to the other woman, clad in plate. There was an intensity with her that made him very nervous, but he still couldn't help from smiling. "Gods, you haven't changed."
In reply, Mar Kuren'del smirked patted him roughly on the shoulder with her gauntlet, rattling him a bit. "That's 'Sir' to you, kid." She held out her hand to Assistant, who excitedly climbed on and began purring (whirring) as Mar pet him. "And how are you, little guy? Haven't seen you since Ashara..."
The demon looked down at Randus with his signature well-meaning but very ineffective smile. "It's good to see you again, friend." Zosimo said, in a guttural voice that made strangers from two tables over turn their heads in his direction, then snap back to their tables with wide eyes.
Randus had always bonded over mechanics with his demonic friend, so much so that they worked in the same workshop growing up. "It's so great to see you all... Here," He said, starting to walk towards the bar, "Let me buy you fellas a--" Suddenly, he tripped over something and flew directly into a crowd of people.
After a moment, he dizzily got up. The room was spinning, but at its center was a fat man wearing an apron, who was glaring at Randus menacingly. As his view returned, Randus could see a large beer stain all over the man's chest. "Oh, I am so sorry..." He said.
The crowd around him hushed, and suddenly Randus recognized him as the owner. He held out his hand expectantly. Randus sighed and plopped his purse in the man's hand, and the crowd started up again.
Randus returned to the table with no drinks. "Sorry guys. What did I even fall on?"
Something tugged at his pant leg.
Randus looked down to see his thief friend, a Gnome named Chomski. She stood at about three feet, and was glaring up at Randus.
"Oops." Randus said.
Cathy ignored him. "That's five of us. Where's Gorret? He was the one that called us here in the first place."
1D5 => 4 (Trip over the owner)
1D15 => 7 (See Chomski in the crowd)
1D15 => 7 + 1 Cha (Talk the owner down)
1 - Gorret shows up, no harm done.
2 - After waiting for a long time, Gorret does not show.
3 - A note from Gorret shows up via courier, informing the party that he desires to meet elsewhere.
4 - The bar catches on fire.
5 - Gorret comes crashing into the bar, and is being tailed by a band of kobolds.

It was far from the defense's finest performance, and while Evans said there's much to be done before Arizona State visits Athens this weekend, the healing for the Bulldogs defenders has to start by putting last week's meltdown behind them.
"What we're going to do to look forward is just to forget this game," Evans said. "It's over with. We have an out-of-conference game this week, and we know they're capable of putting up some points."
The good news for Georgia is that it escaped Arkansas with a win, and that's a start. The bad news, however, was that the defense looked utterly inept for much of the game, while Razorbacks quarterback Ryan Mallett carved up Georgia's secondary to the tune of 408 passing yards and five touchdowns.
Mallett's big day came via a bevy of big plays, with the Razorbacks cashing in on long bomb after long bomb, including three touchdown drives that combined to take just six plays.
"It was just like hand grenades – drop back, launch it, somebody go make a play," defensive tackle Jeff Owens said. "That's my style of play on (the) NCAA (video game). That's what's killing us is the vertical, but we're going to make some adjustments, go back to the drawing board and regroup."
That will be the plan this week, but Evans said it's hard to pin too much of the blame on scheme. The majority of the problems were simply execution.
"Some plays we're in great position to make plays, we just didn't make them," Evans said. "Other times, we're just lackadaisical at getting to our positions where we're supposed to be at. They hopped on us fast, and that's just something we have to fight through."
Despite the troubles defensively, Georgia did manage to regroup when it counted.
Arkansas was just 3-of-14 on third downs in the game, and while the front four did a nice job of slowing the run, the secondary finally got on track late in the game to hold up its end of the bargain.
Mallett was just 2-of-10 passing in the fourth quarter, and Arkansas managed just two field goals in the game's final 20 minutes as the Bulldogs' offense was finally able to pull away late.
"Early on when they were scoring points back to back to back, we knew we weren't playing the way we're capable of playing," said sophomore corner Brandon Boykin, who was burned on two of the Razorbacks' touchdown passes. "We took their best shot, and we were still in the came. So we just regrouped and we were able to hold them off."
The pass-friendly defense wasn't a new problem for Georgia against the Razorbacks, however. Just a week earlier, South Carolina tallied 313 yards through the air as well.
Despite the discouraging stats, Owens insists the problems begin up front, and the onus can't completely fall on the defensive backs.
"For the front seven, we've got to get more pressure on the QB," Owens said. "We've got to rush more. That's what our focus should be this week. We know Arizona State is going to throw the football, and as a defensive tackle, I've got to pin my ears back and try to get to the QB."
Georgia had just two sacks in the game – one coming late in the fourth quarter when Arkansas was desperately heaving the ball downfield in a futile comeback attempt. So far the is season, the Bulldogs have just four sacks, the second-worst mark in the SEC.
From the lack of pressure to the deep bombs, however, everyone shares a bit of the blame for the meltdown against Arkansas, Evans said.
The frustrations are high, but a win is a win, and he said, and the defense would rather focus on the end results – both the victory and the strong fourth quarter – and work to ensure four strong quarters this week against Arizona State.
"It was frustrating on the defensive side of the ball just knowing that the offense was keeping us in the game," Evans said. "You don't want to feel like you're not helping your team get the win. The fourth quarter we held them to three points, and that's something we had to do was finish the drill and keep them out of the end zone."
EXTRA POINTS: Georgia quarterback Joe Cox was named the SEC's offensive player of the week after leading the Bulldogs to a win over Arkansas and tying a school record with five touchdown passes… CBS picked up the Oct. 3 game between Georgia and LSU for its 3:30 p.m. national telecast… Georgia announced Monday that former athletes Matt Stinchcomb, Kim Arnold Arenas, Bernadette Locke Mattox and Brent Noon would be inducted into the school's circle of honor…Former Bulldogs running back Herschel Walker signed a contract with Strikeforce to fight in a mixed martial arts event.

text: As far as pledges go the BBC Trust chairman has some serious work to do, notes the Telegraph. In 2011 Lord Patten promised to dramatically cut the number of senior managers at Auntie Beeb on six-figure salaries – of which there were 310 in January of that year. Fast forward to January 2013 and the BBC is actually 16% fatter in the well-paid executive department, having added another 50 to take the total on £100,000 or more to 360. Perhaps Mark Thompson's DQF plan was misspelt as Delivering Salaries First.

Jammu, Aug 13 (UNI) A fresh batch of pilgrims today left for Amarnath cave shrine amid tight security cover from the Bhagwati Nagar base camp here, official sources said.
''The batch comprising 135 pilgrims including 38 male, four females, three children and 90 sadhus left for the holy cave shrine in three buses,'' the sources told UNI.
Earlier, the yatra remained suspended for two days due to inclement weather in Pahalgam and Baltal areas enroute the Amarnath shrine and landslides near Ramban on Jammu-Srinagar national highway.
The two-month long Amarnath yatra, which commenced on June 17, will conclude on August 16 and the last batch of pilgrims will leave tomorrow, the sources added.

Cabrini Medical Center, New York, NY
PURPOSE: Obstructive sleep apnea(OSA) is underrecognized in the pre-operative(pre-op) period and adverse surgical events appear to be more frequent in OSA patients. The purpose of our study was to determine if increased body mass index(BMI) which is associated with OSA may have had an influence in the early death of surgical patients during the post-operative(post-op) period.
METHODS: Retrospective chart review of surgical patients who expired during 2004-2005 at our institution. Patients with a BMI>25(overweight, obese and morbidly obese) and those with a BMI≤25(healthy and underweight) were compared to their time of death in relationship to surgery. Time of death was defined as the early period if it happened within the first 7 post-op days and late period if more than 7 days. Additional analysis included desaturation events(DEs) during the pre-op/peri-operative(peri-op)/time of death periods. Any amount of desaturations in each of these 3 time periods was considered a desaturation event(DE)(a patient could have a range of 0-3DEs). Risk factors for coronary artey disease(CAD) were obtained.
RESULTS: 44%(32/72)of expired patients had a BMI>25 and 56%(40/72) had a BMI≤25. 53%(17/32) of the patients with BMI>25 died within the early period as compared to only 32%(13/40) of patients with a BMI≤25. 75%(24/32) of patients with BMI>25 had at least 1 DE(a mean of 1.55 DEs per patient). 82%(33/40) of patients with a BMI≤25 had at least 1 DE(a mean of 1.45 DEs per patient). In the patients who died in the early period, there was an average of 2.47 CAD risk factors per patient in the BMI>25 group and 2.84 per patient in the BMI≤25 group. Only 1 patient was diagnosed previously with OSA.
CONCLUSION: Patients with BMI>25 compared to patients with BMI≤25 were more likely to die in the early period. This phenomenon is not related to DEs or CAD risk factors.
CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS: The phenomenon stated in the conclusion may possibly be related to undiagnosed OSA and further investigation is warranted. Physicians should have heightened awareness for undiagnosed OSA in the pre-op setting.

OT: Is Edmonton a Hockey or Football Town?

CFL is pretty popular in Edmonton, although it's below the radar when compared to the Oilers and the NHL.
I live in Toronto, but grew up in Edmonton and there is a huge distinction in popularity of the CFL in both cities. The CFL is pretty relevant in the the Alberta Capital but it's completely an afterthough in Toronto.
Despite the fact that the Argos won the Grey Cup, the Argos get less coverage than the Raptors and Toronto FC in terms of media coverage.
I think people my age are more catered to the NFL product over the CFL and this doesn't apply to Torontonians, but football fans across Canada. The NFL is a 9 billion dollar juggernaut and find ways to attract fans from across the globe, something the CFL doesn't have.

text: NEW YORK, Oct. 9, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Corporate Responsibility Magazine and the COMMIT!Forum are pleased to announce that Dan Hesse, the Chief Executive Officer of Sprint (NYSE:S) has been named the 2013 Corporate Responsibility Lifetime Achievement Award winner. For the first time in the Award's history, Charles Moore, the former Executive Director of CECP has also been granted the Lifetime Achievement in Philanthropy Award. Mr. Hesse and Mr. Moore will accept their respective awards tonight at the culmination of the 2013 COMMIT!Forum. CR Magazine 's Lifetime Achievement Awards recognize individuals whose risk-taking, visions and pioneering spirits have led to significant achievement in the field over the course of their careers. "As we considered the candidates for this year's Lifetime Achievement Award, Dan Hesse was a natural choice. A publicly committed executive, Dan has demonstrated the role and impact of the responsible corporation through his vision and leadership," said Elliot Clark, Clark, CEO of SharedXpertise, the publisher of Corporate Responsibility Magazine. "We also honor Charles Moore this year, the winner of our first Lifetime Achievement in Philanthropy Award. Charles changed the way corporations view giving and giving back to society through his work in the development and growth of CECP." "My personal experiences have helped me understand the importance of a values based culture," said Mr. Hesse. "Whether it's developing new services to better serve our customers with disabilities or expanding our commitment to renewable energy, I believe our industry can drive significant shared value where our customers, our planet and business benefits." Under Mr. Hesse's leadership, Sprint has led the U.S. telecom industry in its portfolio of eco-friendly devices and in wireless re-use and recycling. The company was also the first U.S. carrier to deploy Code Factory's Wireless Accessibility application to make Android devices fully accessible for the visually impaired. Among other initiatives, Sprint serves as the nation's largest Telecommunications Relay Service (TRS) provider to assist customers who are deaf and is also named as a top place to work for military veterans and diverse managers. Last year, Newsweek named the company third among America's Greenest Companies, the only telecommunications company to receive a top 25 ranking on the survey. Last month Sprint received two top honors as the only telecommunications company named to CDP's S&P 500 Climate Performance Leadership Index (CPLI), which highlights companies that demonstrate strategies committed to improving their impact on the environment. Sprint was also named to the Dow Jones Sustainability Index (DJSI) North America, which tracks the corporate sustainability performance of the top 20 percent of the 600 largest companies by industry in the United States and Canada. Earlier this year, Sprint was named the Marketplace winner at the U.S. Disability Matters Awards, one of the most important Corporate Awards in the U.S., for delivering innovative accessibility solutions that empower people with disabilities. "I am honored to receive the 2013 Lifetime Achievement in Philanthropy Award," commented Mr. Moore. "My gratitude goes to my CECP colleagues and CECP's companies that share my vision for investing in their communities, and that together contribute more than 40% of all corporate giving in the United States. This enthusiasm from our network is what creates innovative solutions to some of society's toughest challenges, and it is my hope that we can continue to inspire more companies to do the same."

The Russian connection: See all our coverage | Read about our investigation
Riled by recent reports of Tea Party crashers who are trying to sabotage the movement, the anti-government activists who gathered in downtown DC for a tax day rally were keeping a suspicious eye out for possible impostors in their ranks. "There are people trying to infiltrate there," said Dona Karas, a 54-year-old housewife from Pittsburgh, who attended a protest at Washington's Freedom Plaza organized by the GOP-backed Tea Party Express. "There is a group trying to discredit this anyway they can."
Karas was referring to recent news that pranksters were planning to participate in Tea Party's tax day events in an effort to make the movement look intolerant and moronic. She saw this as proof that the racist, homophobic attacks on Democratic lawmakers during the health care vote weren't the work of conservative activists but outside plants. "I have to believe it may have been somebody there trying to disrupt and discredit the good work that we're really trying to do," Karas said. To emphasize this point, she carried a sign that said, "I am not racist, crazy, homophobic or bigoted." Other Tea Partiers wielded signs belying a similar concern about possible intruders: "Tea Party Imposters Go Home" and "Stop Obama's brown shirt infiltrators and his domestic enemies of the constitution."
Karas and other activists claimed that outsiders had been working to sabotage the very rally underway around them. "There was a man here antagonizing other people, looking at the signs, screaming—he was wearing medals, but I don't think they were medals that he earned," said a middle-aged woman at the rally, suggesting that the man was trying to provoke an incident. Karas added: "It was a black man, so I think he may take this as personal."
Paranoia about infiltrators has led some activists to become wary of fellow protesters who don't fit the profile of a typical Tea Partier. At the rally, I met two heavily pierced and tattooed young activists, dressed head-to-toe in Goth-style clothes and carrying a black version of the ubiquitous "Don't Tread on Me" sign. "Due to the way that many in the Tea Party have been wrongfully stereotyped, they don't think that I fit that mold," said Mario Jones, 27, vice president of a Tea Party group in West Virginia's Marion County. His 20-year-old companion agreed. "A lot of people are like, you don't look like you belong here. This is my freedom—this is how I dress every day," said Amanda Chatham, an unemployed mother from Philadelphia. She noted that she'd been spurred to protest by concerns about "getting [monitoring] chips put into our hands" as part of health care reform.
Tea Party supporters across the country warned activists to be on the watch for suspicious outsiders. In California, Tea Party-backed Senate candidate Chuck DeVore called for "vigilance" and "extra security to keep the peace" in advance of today's rallies. "Groups such as Crashtheteaparty.org plan to disrupt the tea parties," DeVore's press statement said, cautioning Tea Partiers against "engag[ing] those who want to disrupt or attack."
In DC, some protesters jokingly applauded the Tea Party's anomalous Goth contingent. "Freedom comes in all flavors!" shouted one passerby. But others, heeding the warnings, were more skeptical. "They aren't representative of the movement," one woman informed me as I was trying to snap a photo of the pair. "No, I talked to them, they're for real," another man responded. "I'm not sure," she replied, walking away as the rally dispersed.

Trunki BoostApak Booster Seat is rated out of 5 by 128.Rated 5 out of 5 by Oiram12345 from Trunki Booster seat Few days away from a holiday in Sardinia. We rented a car there, but also needed a booster seat for our little 4yo. After a search on the internet I've found this one, and couldn't believe my luck. Booster seat and a back pack in one! And it counts as a hand luggage on Easy jet! Well made and quickly delivered by Halfords.Date published: 2017-05-20Rated 5 out of 5 by MummyW2 from Great travel car seat Bought this for my 3 year old to use abroad on holiday. This was easy to use and did the job. Love the large storage inside and the straps made it easy to carry. Luckily Halfords had a 20% discount promotion with free delivery so it was definitely a great bargain. What a huge difference travelling without lugging a massive car seat!Date published: 2017-05-13Rated 4 out of 5 by AlisonB32 from Brilliant product! This is a fantastic product and much recommended. Wasn't sure whether the age range would be ok as my little boy is 3 1/2, but it's absolutely fine and he's in the right weight range. It's comfortable, fun for him to carry (although fairly heavy) and he likes it. It's been tried and tested here and we'll be taking it on holiday with us. That was the purpose of the purchase. Fantastic!Date published: 2017-04-01Rated 5 out of 5 by Solmar from Excellent! Excellent product. I go it for my little one and he like me love his new bag.Date published: 2017-03-28Rated 4 out of 5 by SianieCookie from Great product, great idea This is an awesome item and really practical. They can store afew items, and they can sit on them and travel safely! Great. The storage isn't much really and they are quite heavy, but they are a great product.Date published: 2017-02-09Rated 5 out of 5 by BeckyY89 from To take on holiday We bought this for a holiday we are taking in a few months it looks brilliant we have used it a few times but am really impressed with the quality and I was very impressed with the price £15 cheaper than the trunki websiteDate published: 2017-02-08Rated 5 out of 5 by Afrogav from Great Product My daughter loves this seat. It is convenient, well made and perfect for travelling families.Date published: 2016-12-31Rated 4 out of 5 by Helz82 from Happy We have been very happy with the boostapak. We bought one for each of our children to take with on holiday. The seat isn't as wide as other booster seats which is great as we can fit an adult in the middle of the back seat. The only con is that is isn't the most comfortable backpack, but it was fine, the kids managed with it around the airport, but they wouldn't want to wear it all day.Date published: 2016-12-14

EUNICE'S SHY, SICKLY LITTLE ILLEGITIMATE KID: God Can Use Anyone
At the time of Christ, it was decidedly uncool for a young Jewish girl to take up with a Greek guy. It was so uncool, in fact, that when a Jewish maiden named Eunice married a Greek, the offspring from their union—whom they named Timothy—was considered by the Jewish community to be illegitimate. It's understandable, then, that this small cast-off lad, rejected by the community, would be painfully shy. The poor guy was given to digestive problems, too.

anyone out there with a t29?
I just bought a Tanzer T-29.
i've never sailed before.
Anything I should pay particular attention to when sailing her?
what would you say is the best rigging/sail setup for this vessel?
any pointers on where I should start in learning to sail her?
recommended reading?
anyone have an owner's manual, or sales brocure they could scan for me?
every little bit helps.
Thanks for reading!
Anyone know where i might get an owner's manual for a t29?
If you are looking for Tanzer specific questions you should also join the Tanzer group on Yahoo. Im sure that you will be able to find an owner of of a T 29 that can copy the owner manual for you.
tanzer : Tanzer E-Mail Group
been there before. not too many t29 owners around there. I was hoping I would find more of them here.. THanks for the suggestion though.
try contacting the T22 class association - someone there may know the names of T29 owners.
Tanzer 22
I've been the happy owner of a Tanzer 28, for 22 years-rest assured you picked a great boat, the older the thicker the hull. Mine was built in '75 and has a flat deck beam to beam, plus eight in the cockpit-huge. Not a racer by any means, but can handle strong winds without reefing. I'm located in Toronto.
I was able to get a sales brochure for the t-29.
now all i need is an owners manual (if such a thing exists)
In the absence of a dedicated site for tanzer 29s, and in the interest of uniting owners, I am happy to announce the creation of a new forum: the topics and responses are currently slim pickings, but at least stop by and say hi

One of the first few albums that Arthur Lyman recorded after his split with Martin Denny – and still very much in the best Denny mode – mixing vibes with percussion, and adding in lots of cool effects! There's a fair bit of exotic sounds in the mix – including birdcalls from group members – but Lyman's vibes are the real charm here – both metallic and warm at the same time, making for a nice degree of drama in ways that don't always show up on his later albums. Titles include "Jungle Fantasy", "Sakura", "Babalik Ka Rin", "Love Dance", and "Return To Paradise". (Later pressing with a volcano image. Cover has a stereo sticker.) © 1996-2017, Dusty Groove, Inc.
We realize that there are many different interpretations of the standard grades used for pre-owned vinyl record albums & CD, so we thought we'd offer you the ones that we are working with, so you have an idea what we mean when we give the grade for a non-new item on our pages.
Below are stated conditions for a used vinyl records at Dusty Groove. Grading for the cover should be assumed to be near (within a "+" or "-") the grading for the vinyl. If there is significant divergence from the condition of the vinyl, or specific flaws, these will be noted in the comments section of the item. However, please be aware that since the emphasis of this site is towards the music listener, our main concern is with the vinyl of any used item we sell. Additionally, please note that all of our records are graded visually; considering the volume of used vinyl we handle, it is impossible for us to listen to each record. If we spot any significant flaws, we make every attempt to listen through them and note how they play.
The following grading conditions apply to the vinyl component of an album or single:
If something is noteworthy, we try to note it in the comments — especially if it is an oddity that is the only wrong thing about the record. This might include, but isn't limited to, warped records, tracks that skip, cover damage or wear as noted above, or strictly cosmetic flaws.

Rockland to Offer LIMR's Preclinical Assays
Rockland Immunochemicals and Lankenau Institute for Medical Research (LIMR) expanded an existing licensing and commercialization agreement, to allow Rockland to market additional LIMR assays including the CellCountEZ® OxPhos™, RadDose™, and TiolEZ™ assays. The deal was arranged through LIMR's business development subsidiary LIMR Development.
Rockland provides antibodies and antibody-based tools for basic research, assay development, and preclinical studies. Founded in 1927, LIMR is a nonprofit biomedical research center with expertise in fields including cancer, cardiovascular disease, and diabetes. The institute's CellCountEZ assay has been developed to allow the measurement of metabolically active cells while simultaneously quantifying cell death to determine cell viability, cell toxicity, or cellular proliferation.
The OxPhos assay determines the cellular glutathione recycling capacity in tissue culture, or whole blood, to provide insights into oxidative stress during the aging process, and antioxidant levels/toxicology following chemotherapy. The RadDose assay is used for to measure ionizing radiation dose rates, while the Intracellular ThiolEZ assay is capable of determining total intracellular thiols, including glutathione and cysteine, as a means of investigating the aging, oxidative stress, antioxidant, chemotherapy response, and toxicology processes.

Washington Post: Iraqi Forces Show Signs Of Progress In Offensive
Good article in the WAPO today, showing progress in the training of Iraqi forces to "handle their own"
"TALL AFAR, Iraq -- The Iraqi soldiers had already searched the house, according to a sticker plastered across its front gate.
But when their commanding general and a U.S. colonel arrived one afternoon last week to praise their performance and observe them in action, the troops wanted to give a demonstration. With theatrical intensity, they charged the two-story structure on the nearly deserted block, rifles at the ready, while other soldiers and two reporters watched from the street.
A fiery explosion -- some soldiers said they saw a man throw a grenade, others said the door was rigged to blow -- erupted from inside, followed by bursts of gunfire. The shouting soldiers stumbled out through a cloud of smoke, covered in blood. The rest of the platoon, which had lost a lieutenant in a grenade attack the day before, appeared dejected, some huddling around the wounded, others sitting with their heads in their hands.
What happened next, commanders here said, suggested significant progress toward the goal of shifting security functions to Iraqi forces so that the United States can begin withdrawing troops from Iraq. When the clashes grew intense, the Iraqi soldiers did not shrink, American officers said.
"Okay, men, it's time to buck up and show our mettle," said a U.S. Special Forces soldier, acting as platoon commander, who allowed reporters to accompany the patrol on the condition that he not be named. "We can't let this stop us. We need payback!"
They went looking for revenge. When they were ambushed again, in a home one block away, they were ready. After a firefight, they came out smiling proudly, with several raising two fingers to indicate the number of insurgents killed.
"A couple of months ago, they might not have been able to pull it together after something like that," said Col. H.R. McMaster, commander of the U.S. Army's 3rd Armored Cavalry Regiment, who witnessed the abortive raid and helped bandage an Iraqi soldier whose wounded hand was pouring blood onto the sidewalk. "They showed a lot of resolve. Eventually, they will be able to control this city."
There is absolutely no doubt that this is our number one priority. We have to get Iraqi's to police their own and rid their country of those who don't belong, i.e.; insurgents.
It isn't easy to build a force. You can equip them with uniforms, weapons, training and support, but one thing you can't "buy", you can't "issue" is Esprit-de-Corp.
Back in the day when I trained soldier's there was no better feeling than when you saw it in their eyes - and you knew that "They've got it!" On that day, they became soldiers.
This is why we cannot leave them until their training is completed. To do so would be almost criminal. We are seeing definite progress and real signs that the Iraqi forces themselves are begining to "feel it". In today's venacular, "They are getting it", but they haven't "got it" yet.

At Algorithmia, we believe in democratizing access to state-of-the-art algorithmic intelligence. That's why we're introducing a solution for hosting and distributing trained deep learning models on Algorithmia using GPUs in the cloud.
Today, researchers and developers can train their neural nets locally, and deploy them to Algorithmia's scalable, cloud infrastructure, where they become smart API endpoints for other developers to use.
We're excited to announce initial native support for the Caffe, Theano, and TensorFlow frameworks, and have added 16 open source deep learning models that run as microservices to start. Support for Torch and MxNet are coming soon.
Plus, we've created two demos to showcase how easy it is to build applications off of hosted models:
We want Algorithmia to be the place for researchers and developers creating deep learning models to showcase their work, distribute it, and make it available for other developers to use.
We believe algorithms and models should be implemented once, reusable by developers anywhere, in any language.
You should train your model using the tools you're comfortable with. And, when you're ready, deploy it to our infrastructure, where your model will join a collection of more than 2,200 algorithmic microservices other developers can use to obtain real-time predictions, and build production-ready, machine intelligent apps.
Thanks to an abundance of digital data, and powerful GPUs, we are now capable of teaching computers to read, see, and hear.
Just this year, a handful of high-profile experiments came into the spotlight, including Microsoft Tay, Google DeepMind AlphaGo, and Facebook M.
These experiments all relied on a technique known as deep learning, which attempts to mimic the layers of neurons in the brain's neocortex. This idea – to create an artificial neural network by simulating how the neocortex works – has been around since the 1980s.
During the training process, the algorithm learns to discover useful patterns in the digital representation of data, like sounds and images. In a very real sense, we're teaching machines to teach themselves.
As a result, it's become clear that deep learning is the next frontier in machine learning and artificial intelligence.
Yet, despite plentiful data, and abundant computing power, deep learning is still very hard.
The bottleneck is the lack of developers trained to use these deep learning techniques. Machine learning is already a highly specialized domain, and those with the knowledge to train deep learning models are even more select.
For instance, Google can't recruit enough developers with deep machine learning experience. Their solution? Teach their developers to use ML instead. When Facebook's engineers were struggling to take advantage of machine learning, they created an internal tool for visualizing ML workflows.
But, where does that leave the other 99% of developers that don't work at one of these top tech company?
Very few people in the world know how to use these tools.
"Machine learning is a complicated field," S. Somasegar says, venture partner at Madrona Venture Group and the former head of Microsoft's Developer Division. "If you look up the Wikipedia page on deep learning, you'll see 18 subcategories underneath Deep Neural Network Architectures with names such as Convolutional Neural Networks, Spike-and-Slab RBMs, and LTSM-related differentiable memory structures."
"These are not topics that a typical software developer will immediately understand."
Yet, the number of companies that want to process unstructured data, like images or text, is rapidly increasing.

Duas vídeo-aulas sobre como desenvolver aplicativo para Windows 8 utilizando o Visual Studio 2012.
Do you have a spam problem on this site; I also am a blogger, and I was wanting
to know your situation; many of us have created some nice practices and we are looking to exchange strategies with other folks, be sure to shoot me an email if interested.
This piece of writing is in fact a good one it assists new internet viewers, who
are wishing in favor of blogging.
This do-it-yourself short article demonstrates how to enhance
the area of your showerheads.
So I think my favorite 15 min restoration tip, is to utilize one
of the Mr. Clean Magic Eraser items on my wall surfaces.
Relying on your requirements as well as the space that you have
in hand developing a patio will be a fantastic house remodelling task.
If you're fairly new to the net enterprise world chances
are you'll need an individual you could turn to when you have any questions about affiliate internet marketing.
News homes also drive the home remodelling market as well
as NAR analysis recommend the rate of new home sales could possibly
increase by 30 to 40 percent in 2015.
For a 20-year, $75,000 fixed-rate lending on a
house in Knoxville, Tenn., I was estimated an affordable 6.19 % APR.
Howdy! This is my first comment here so I just wanted to give a quick shout out and say I genuinely enjoy reading through your posts.
Can you suggest any other blogs/websites/forums that cover the same topics?
Thanks a ton!

Hi there colleagues, its wonderful article on the topic of educationand completely defined, keep it up all the time.
If the food is sticking, lower the heat for some additional time.
Before buying a copper cookware set, here's what I would
think about. Therefore, it is often used for sinks, tabletops,
coffee urns, stoves, refrigerators, milk and cream dispensers
and steam tables.
It is a blood purifier and can help clean the kidneys, lymph system and liver of toxins and protects cells from viruses and bacteria, which means your skin will benefit in the long run. Vitamin E
prolongs the life of red blood cells and promotes cell respiration and is
reported to be the anti-aging vitamin. After all, no woman wants to live with the pain and discomfort
of each of their period problems.
Wow that was unusual. I just wrote an very long comment but after I clicked submit mmy comment didn't appear.
Grrrr… well I'm not writing all that over again. Anyways, just wanted to say superb

A nice antique (circa 1860-70s) Victorian hair wreath or bouquet. The Hair Bouquet is in the original shadowbox frame and is complete with old glass and a gilt gold liner. The hair bouquet has several different flowers and leaves all made from human hair. Overall dimensions are 10 1/4" x 9 1/4" x 3 1/2" deep, the hair bouquet is approximately 4 1/2" x 4 3/4". The Shadowbox Hair Wreath is in very good overall condition. The only thing to note is some wear to the finish on the frame and dust under the glass, see photos. the Hair Bouquet would be perfect in a Victorian decor.
