PARIS -(Dow Jones)- French oil giant Total SA (TOT) Monday said it has acquired a 40% stake in the block 3 exploration license in Yemen, which it will now operate.
Total bought the stake from Oil Search Ltd. (OSH.AU) for an undisclosed amount and will be partners with Austrian OMV AG (OMVKY), Czech MND and state-owned Yemen General Corporation for Oil and Gas once the transaction is completed.
The license covers an area of 2.954 square kilometers in the eastern section of the Marib Basin, said Total in a statement.
The acquisition remains subject to approval by Yemen's ministry of oil and mineral resources.
At 1530 GMT, Total's shares traded down 0.4% at EUR42.29, while its benchmark index France's CAC-40 was down 0.7%.

Soledad police sergeant released from hospital after stabbing
Other two victims reported to be in stable condition
SOLEDAD, Calif. - Soledad's Police Chief said Tuesday morning that the police sergeant stabbed Monday afternoon has been released from a Bay Area hospital. An older couple also injured in the incident were reported to be in stable condition as they recovered at separate hospitals in the Bay Area.
Sgt. Tom Marchese, a 10-year veteran of the Soledad Police Department, was stabbed inside a home on 2nd Street just before 4 p.m. Monday.
Soledad Police Chief Eric Sills told Central Coast News that officers were responding to a call for a disturbance at 210 2nd Street when they heard screams and glass smashing.
Officers went to the door of the house and the suspect came at them. As they tried to shield themselves, they noticed at the last minute that he had a two-inch blade in his hand. Sgt. Marchese was then stabbed while trying to defend himself inside the home.
An older man, said to be in his 70s, was also stabbed. An older woman sustained head injuries in the altercation.
All three victims and the suspect were life-flighted to hospitals.
Two other police officers received minor injuries as they tried to subdue the suspect.
The suspect has only been identified as a 17-year-old boy. A photo taken by a witness shows the 17-year-old being carried away by several officers. Police believe the teen suspect may be the grandson of the older couple.
Sills confirms with Central Coast News that Marchese's wife works for Cal Fire as an engine driver and was on scene helping with the victims, including her injured husband. According to Sills, she was pulled off what she was doing and went to her husband's side for support. Family members said Sgt. Marchese's wife has now traveled to the Bay Area hospital where her husband is being treated.
"She was one of the responding units and was also here when this incident occurred. So it was really a blessing for both of them. They're both professionals and he was you know conscious and talking," said Soledad Police Chief Eric Sills.
A neighbor who wants to be anonymous said he's seen issues at the house before.
"One of them came running out and he was hurt and had blood on his arm and the second one came running out and he had a wound on his shoulder and I heard the windows breaking. So I knew something was serious," said an anonymous source.
Chief Sills said Sgt. Marchese will off on disability until he's able to return back to work. No word yet on when the other two officers will be back to work.
At this time, it's unknown what instigated the disturbance. Soledad police are continuing to investigate.
Officers from the Greenfield Police Department, Monterey County Sheriff's Office and Cal Fire also responded, along with paramedics. Vosti Park was used as a medical staging area for the helicopters and other ambulances.

Can I used this to power your Bigtime watch ( https://www.sparkfun.com/products/11734 )? Should I have a battery in parallel with the rechargeable coin cell battery? 2.5V or 3.3V as the watch requires 3V? If I have it in parallel with the battery and the battery is fully charged and the sun is shining would the A increase so much that it would fry it? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
No public wish lists :(

Submitted to: Proceedings of the Entomological Society of Washington
Publication Type: Peer Reviewed Journal
Publication Acceptance Date: 10/11/2004
Publication Date: 1/15/2005
Citation: Lacey, L.A. 2004. Book review: the Black Flies (Simuliidae) of North America. Proceedings of the Entomological Society of Washington. 107: 241-243. Interpretive Summary: Abstract only for book review.
Technical Abstract: The authors of "The Black Flies (Simuliidae) of North America" have a combined 100 years of experience working on this family and have harnessed their collective energies and expertise, as well as that of two excellent illustrators (Ralph M. Idema and Lawrence W. Zettler) in the production of this book. A phenomenal volume of detailed information is included in this large format (8.5 by 11-inch pages) in a 941-page opus magnum. The book covers 254 black fly species found in North America north of Mexico, defined by the authors as the United States, Canada and Greenland. Richly illustrated and extensively referenced, this book will be the most definitive work on the North American Simuliidae north of Mexico for decades to come. It is a must for anyone working with the family and will be a useful reference in the broader subject areas of aquatic ecology and medical entomology. Considering the affordable price and sheer volume of information, it is a bargain.

"Working Class Hero" Joey Vosburgh shows us what splitboarding is and can be all about
In this final episode of a really cool web-seies, Kooteny, BC based shredder Joey V takes us through his thought process and shows us what kind of serious lines can be laid down with just a splitboard and some good old-fashion motivation.
This is the final episode of the 9-part Balance web-series which describes itself as such:
"As a nine part web series Balance will share the stories of three individuals who live there lives in very different ways. The characters will not be professional athletes but rather working class heros; people who don't earn a living from their sport but still understand the importance of extracurricular activity.
These are the people who work to make time for the things they love rather than pushing their hobbies aside for a larger paycheque."
And who the hell is Joey Vosburgh? Well, funny you should ask as I was just about to copy-paste his bio here:
"Snowboarding has alway been a part of Joey's life and at an early age he excelled. Joey rode with an influential group of snowboarders, many of which went on to ride professionally. Although he to had opportunities to pursue snowboarding professionally he decided to opt out of sponsorship because he thought it would take the fun out of it. Joey now runs his own hardwood flooring company which allows him to choose his own hours and ride his split-board in the backcountry as much as he wants."
Joey seems like the real deal and this is a really well made video. I think it can go a long way in showing what is possible when you have the balls, and motivation, to actually go out and do all that shit we all sit around talking about all day. Get out there before it's too late!
You can check out the website of the series at www.balancetv.net and be sure to watch all the past episode as well, there's some real gems in there.

My mommy's been gone for two nights now and I don't like it one bit! I always look forward to going up to our farm home, especially since Ferguson is there.. he's such fun to play with!
(Although.. I can't say that I missed the car ride up there!)
Mom said I couldn't go because of the "cement." I don't know what she meant by that. I wish that I could have gone with her.
Oh well.. I still have the other mommy to take care of me, mom says she spoils me rotten, but I like it just fine! Time to go bother the other cats...
... *they're everywhere*!
I swear! I ran around all day trying to find *them,* but they were nowhere to be found! I darted from under the table.. to behind the piano.. under the table.. behind the piano.. under the table.. behind the piano..
*I couldn't find them!*
Mommy played with me a lot today, she said I was a "spaz," but I'm not sure what that means.
*I just know they're out there! I need to find them!*
I've been home alone almost all day, well.. except for that cranky one they call "Binx" and the ancient one they call "Missy." Neither one of them ever wants to play, in fact Binx not only doesn't want to play.. but he chased me away from my toys! Mom finally came home this afternoon, but I can already tell she's getting ready to leave again. I miss my other home, at least Ferguson plays with me! *big kitty sigh* I guess I'll just have to go take a nap.. again.

What's surprised me most about life with a one year old:
He can walk and mostly understands what I'm talking about, but that doesn't mean his baby stage is gone. There are still plenty of days where he wants to be held for a good portion and cries from teething, being tired or just feeling clingy in general. And when I work in the store on Sundays, he is definitely ready for me to be home after 6-7 hours.
My arms are probably the strongest they've ever been. No, I'm not using dumbbells on the regular, nor do I have a ripped upper body, but strong it is! Hello, holding a 25+ lb toddler while doing many other things (making coffee, prepping dinner, doing laundry) leads to strength naturally.
As a parent, fourteen months is quite different than twelve months of age, so when strangers in the grocery store ask how old he is, despite my better judgement, I give Henry's age in months rather than saying "Oh, he's a little over one."
He likes to help out. He really gets a kick out of putting clothes into the laundry basket. Unfortunately, these are usually the folded, clean clothes from my drawers. Henry also is really into what I'm cooking or baking and would like to help stir and such, but he's not quite old enough. I can see us getting one of those safety stools for him in the next year or so.
He is funny on a regular basis. Things he does that surprise and crack me up: says "Cheers" (in his own way of course) and likes to cheers our carrots, shakes his head vigorously to mimic the penguin in his book, insists on holding something (book, baby doll, beach ball, etc) 90% of the time while he's nursing, pretends to cough when Pete or I cough or sneeze (and thinks it's the funniest thing ever).
It's impossible to keep your kid protected from the sun during summer unless they're wearing long sleeves and pants around the clock. He even likes it when I put sunblock on him, but still has plenty of sun exposure from our outdoor activities. It's frustrating, but it is what it is.
Baby on a mission
I never thought it would be easier to make friends as a result of being a mom than it would be doing almost anything else. Athletics has definitely connected to me to a lot of people, but in terms of strong friendships that I try to keep up with regularly, the connection of parenthood seems to make the friendship side of things easier. There are so many things you can commiserate over whether or not your kids or interests are similar. Plus, there's the whole kiddo schedule. Basically, we don't leave the house after 6:00 p.m. 95% of the time.
I didn't expect it would take him over a year to really start saying "mama." Sure, he used to babble "mamamamama," but it wasn't until a week ago or so that he really started saying it on purpose. He's been saying "dada" on purpose now for many months.
And finally, I didn't expect each stage to be more exciting than the one before. Yes, mobility and independence comes with their own challenges, but having a spirited, interactive little toddler has been so much fun.
So, that's it for now. I didn't really have any idea what having a one year old would be like (let's be honest, when you think about having a baby, you primarily focus on that infant stage), but so far it's awesome.
Happy Tuesday!

So, what about the folks who happen to live across the pond? Well, worry not as the BBC iPlayer will be launching in the US later this year. Subscriptions will cost $8 per month and there will be a fair amount of free content just to give you a taste of what the media has to offer.
Versions of the BBC iPlayer are available on both iOS and Android, yet the video-on-demand service will be available only on the iPad and will be inaccessible if you try logging in from a country that is not supported yet.

Paulinho says goodbye to Chicago winter - Chicago Tribune new article
When I was chosen to play a song with Toots Thielemans on the Jazzy Christmas concert in Singapore I felt just like that, "Chosen".
It was one of the greatest moments in my musician career, for once I was in the right place at the right time. Which song will he choose? Would I be able to support the master without stepping on his toes? I did my best. I thank God for giving me the chance to be side by side with the master and to let us borrow him for 94 years, I know that God is happy to receive him back.
Rest In Peace Toots Thielemans (1922 - 2016)
An impromptu performance by Toots and Paulinho at the Jazzy Christmas concert produced by Jeremy Monteiro. Esplanade Hall of Singapore, December 08, 2008. I have never felt so humble, flattered, and grateful to be called on to play alongside a true master.

Esther Berlanga-Ryan Review: To review an album recorded by Paulinho Garcia is to be invited into an entire Universe of fragility and beauty. I knew this when I received a phone call from Garcia's publicist a few short weeks ago, letting me know that the artist himself had requested that a copy of his new release was sent to my doorstep, for me to listen to and dissect it as I pleased. I felt both humbled and challenged. How does one find the fair combination of words to describe utter beauty?

Traffic Law
Have Traffic Law Questions? Ask a Traffic Lawyer Online.
Thanks for requesting me. I believe I answered a similar question for you recently. I'm not sure if this pertains to the same incident, or if it's something different.
I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but if the trooper says he saw you change lanes without signaling on 5 occasions in 16 miles, that will be difficult to beat. If he were to say he saw you do it once, that would certainly be easier for you to fight.
As I described in my answer to your previous question, the only successful "defense" to changing lanes without using a turn signal that I observed in the years that I prosecuted traffic cases was the avoidance of an emergency of some sort - i.e., an impending accident (for instance, the car in the next lane started to move over on you), an obstruction in the roadway (for instance, I once saw a living room chair fall off a pickup truck in front of me while I was driving on the interstate), an animal running across the road in front of your car, and things of that nature.
I wish I could give you a more optimistic answer, but, I hope you've found this to be informative, anyway.
Good luck,
No problem - I just wasn't sure if this was the same ticket, or another one.
I doubt if you would be able to contest the ticket except in person, unless the court that gave you the ticket is sophisticated enough to be equipped with video conferencing equipment. Some courts do video arraignments with inmates who are in jail, so some do have the capacity for this sort of thing. You would have to contact the court where you are supposed to appear to see if this would be an option in your case. But, I am inclined to doubt if it would be. Doesn't hurt to ask, though.
Good luck!

Load calcs for room addition
I've added a 16X40 room onto my house. I'm planning to pull ducts from the existing box in my attic to cool the room. I initially oversized the unit by a half ton in anticipation of this. How many six or eight inch ducts should I use to cool the space? How much return do I need from the room? (The room will be sealed off much of the time.) I live in Florida. Thanks. Jim
There are a lot of factors to be discussed for the proper load calc in your specific addition. Call a local contractor, or purchase some load calc software.
There is some software that will ask you all of the questions needed about your addition to tell you the proper load calc. But for the system to work properly, you will need all of the ductwork to be sized correctly to acommadate your addition.
I would definately suggest calling a contractor to come out to install everything properly, or you will either have a lot of problems, or will be spending quite a bit of time learning what takes most people a few years to do properly by themselves.

A visa is an entry/residency permit and official permission granted by the authorities of the countries where you will study or travel which allows you to enter and remain in that country. The visa itself is frequently a stamp in your passport, not a separate document. You will need a passport before applying for a visa (and the entire "passport-plus-visa process" may take three to four months, so start early). If you are a U.S. citizen (carrying a U.S. passport), a visa is not required by most Western European countries if you are spending fewer than three months in the country. However, the regulations change regularly, so check with the Office of Study Abroad or the embassy/consulate of your host country.
CIBTvisas is MSU's preferrred provider of passport and visa services, offering fast processing and special pricing for MSU travelers. Further information is available here (PDF)*.
The cost and requirements for obtaining visas vary. It is your responsibility to determine visa requirements for all countries you plan to visit while abroad. This includes countries that you plan to visit before or after your study abroad program. You can do so by consulting a travel agent, calling the consular offices of those countries, or checking theTravel Document Systems website.
You may be denied entry into, or be deported from, a country for which you have not obtained a required visa. The Office of Study Abroad and Michigan State University are not responsible for obtaining visas, nor are they in any way responsible for visa or entry denial. For some countries, certain medical requirements must be met before a visa will be issued. Many countries will not issue visas to persons with any type of police record!
NOTE: If you are not a U.S. citizen, visit our Helpful Tips for Non-US Citizens and Resident Aliens (PDF)*. You should also consult the embassy or consulate of the countries you will visit to learn their document requirements. You should check the U.S. Department of State websites for Foreign Consulate Office listings and for the listings of Embassies and Consulates.
The procedures that you will follow may be different than those for U.S. citizens. It is important to initiate this process as soon as possible in order to assemble documents and allow time for lengthy procedures. International MSU students must visit the Office of International Students and Scholars in room 105 International Center to obtain a signature on visa documents to permit re-entry into the United States.
Students participating in programs in the United Kingdom should be especially careful with visa regulations. Visit OSA's UK visa webpage for more information.

The picture is kind of small and hard to read for me. Not that I know ANYTHING about this stuff but a larger pic may help some of the people that do!
I didn't even think to check the photo... I shall try and do multiple photos of sections when I get home and see if that helps it.

I have been struggling with this for over a month now. A while ago my Cineform worked perfectly fine and I loved it. I didn't take any videos for a while, but eventually I ended up taking some and wanted to upload and edit them. When I went to open Cineform I double click on it and nothing happens. I get the little blue spinning loading circle for like a second but nothing ever load.
I have tried talking to someone that works for Cineform multiple times and he even remotely accessed my computer. He never was able to figure out the problem. All of my other programs all work perfectly fine. Cineform is the only thing that will not open.
Anyone have any ideas?

Russia's Dutch coach Guus Hiddink engineered the demise of his native country in Saturday's quarterfinal, illustrated by the willingness of his team to learn new methods, writes Martin Samuel. Russia's improving performances and its 3-1 defeat of the much-fancied Netherlands destroys the myth that it is impossible for a national team coach to impose a system on players he only gets to work with for sporadic periods of time.
David Beckham has said that new England coach Fabio Capello "makes you sit up straight in class." Samuel says that "education is a
partnership," and that is where England has stagnated in recent years, because its coaches either became lazy (Sven-Goran Eriksson), or lacked the authority to make players listen (Steve McClaren).
Hiddink, however, has taught the Russians to "use four defenders, but when the full backs push on, a holding player drops in to make three. The whole system is very fluid and flexible, and Russia's
movement is probably the best of any team at the tournament."
In two years, Hiddink has radicalized a group of players "by refusing to entertain the idea that all an international
manager can do is make the best of what he is given, rather than taking this raw material and refining it." He did not build a new team, rather he made the most out of a roster that was already
established, and that had lost 7-1 to Portugal during the last World Cup qualifying round. Hiddink is not just a disciplinarian, but he also has the ability to make sure his players pay full
attention to his teachings.

I have some leather cross straps inside the top of the helmet but nothing on the cheek guards or the back of the helmet so it tends to bob a bit. The thing is I kind of live in a very warm and humid climate so any suggestions on how to better secure the helmet(minus a chin strap of course) without cooking me inside my helmet lol?

iron pipe fittings
Hello all. I'm replacing the stop valves in my downstairs bath. Both are attached to iron pipes that go into the basement. Although I have done lots of plumbing work with copper and compression fittings, I have never work with galvanized IP. I'm a little bit concerned with getting the valves off the nipples but what I'm even more concerned with is the elbow below the floor that the hot water nipple is in. It's rusted on the outside and I think it needs to be replaced. As far as replacing IP fittings how tight should they be and what is best to use on the threads? Also what are the chances they end up in the same position as the fittings I'm replacing?? thanks
I've been an avid DIYer for more than 50 years, and one of the most frustrating things that I've ever worked with is old galvanized pipe (which is what my parents had way back when and what I "learned" on).
When working with old galvanized, you will always need two good pipe wrenches...one for backup to hold what you're trying to screw something out of or into without letting it move at all, and one to turn what you want to remove or screw on.
Depending upon the size of the pipe and the rusted "seize" of the fitting, if you can, sometimes it is helpful for heat it with a torch if you can do it safely. If you can't heat it, then sometimes it helps to soak it in a solvent overnight, such as WD-40. You can use cheater pipes on the wrenches if necessary (pipe large enough to slip over the end of the pipe wrench handles to give you more leverage).
Use 2-3 flat wraps of teflon tape on the male threads wrapped clockwise only as the threaded end faces you, to reconnect the new fittings.
It usually is best to back off from the worst of the rusted fittings to get to a fitting in a better condition, to start replacing old galvanized sections of pipe.
Good Luck!

Why do you choose leather work for business?It was not a choice per se. we were invited by the Kano State government under the Ministry for Women Affairs and Social Development to youth empowerment training where we were trained on shoe making and other skills. We had the training last year and since then I have been building on what I learnt. This is how I come about the leather work business.

|[MINA] Using MINA to write a proxy server like application
|Fri, 02 Dec 2005 00:42:44 GMT
Hello, I have an existing proxy-like server which currently uses blocking IO. The role of the proxy server is to communicate with the client using SSL and act as a proxy to the application server communicating with it using plain TCP. TCP/SSL TCP Client -----------------> Proxy Server -----------> Application Server The protocol being supported is a stateful synchronous command/response protocol where the client initiates all the communication by sending commands and the server responds by sending responses. The only exception is that at the time of connection establishment the server sends a greeting back to the client. The normal process flow for the proxy would be something like below 1. Client initiates SSL connection 2. Proxy accepts connection and starts SSL handshake 3. After SSL handshake is successfully completed, proxy establishes connection to the application server 4. Read greeting from application server 5. Send greeting to client 6. Read command from client 7. Send command to application server 8. Read response from application server 9. Send response to client 10. Repeat steps 6 through 9 I am trying to see if I can use MINA to support the proxy server and am in the process of building a prototype. I basically took the EchoServer example and started modifying it to serve my needs. I also made modifications to the SSLHandler class so that sessionOpened() will be invoked a second time once the SSL handshake is complete (as suggested by Maarten Bosteels). At this point, in the sessionOpened() method, I am opening a session to the application server using SocketConnector. I then set the source client session as an attachment in the destination app server session and the destination app server session as an attachment in the source client session, so that the source client session and the destination app server session can pipe data to each other in the dataRead() methods. This approach works but the problem I am facing is that sometimes the greeting from the APP server is being read even before the source client session is set as an attachment to the destination app server session. The source client session is absolutely needed here as I need to write the greeting to it. In order to get around this problem I made the dataRead() method of the destination session handler wait in a loop until the source client session becomes visible and then only it proceeds to write the greeting to the Client. Finally my questions - I consider my above solution to the greeting problem a very bad hack. What is the best approach to handle such a need? - Is my approach overall reasonable? i.e. opening a session to the application server once the SSL handshake is completed and then piping the read event to each other in the dataRead() methods of each of these sessions and using the attachments to enable the data piping. - Are there better approaches or alternatives? I am quite new to MINA and NIO in general. So, please feel free to point out if I am totally being inefficient here. Attached are the relevant classes from my prototype. thanks, Srikanth

via Speeding Up ActiveMQ Persistent Messaging Performance by 25x – Software Blog.
Apache ActiveMQ is a very popular open-source messaging broker brought to you by the same people who created (and work on) Apache Karaf, Apache Camel, Apache ServiceMix, and many others. It has a vibrant community, is very flexible, and can be deployed in highly performant and highly available scenarios.
At Red Hat (where I work), we support a product called JBoss A-MQ, which is a production hardened, enterprise supported, fully opensource, version of the upstream ActiveMQ project. Red Hat is fully committed to opensource and all of our products are opensource (non of this open-core bull$hit) Our customers, and those specifically who use JBoss A-MQ, are the top in their respective fields (retail/e-retail, government, shipping, health providers, finance, telco, etc,etc.) and deploy JBoss A-MQ in highly critical scenarios.
Since the JBoss A-MQ codebase comes from the upstream ActiveMQ community, and all of the bug fixes and enhancements we do on the Red Hat side get folded back into the community, I'd like to share with you an enhancement we recently contributed that sped up our use case at a prominent customer by 25x, and could potentially help your use case as well. The patches that have been committed are in the master branch and won't be available until the 5.12 community release (although will be available in a patch to JBoss A-MQ 6.1 sooner than that, hopefully end of this week or early next week), though I encourage you to checkout a nightly SNAPSHOT of 5.12 to try it out sooner (nightly snapshots can be found here) .

Pioneering U.S. singer enthralls Syrian students
By Khaled Yacoub Oweis
DAMASCUS (Reuters) - Avant-garde musician and performance artist Meredith Monk enthralled Syrian students on Monday with a lesson on vocal and choreographic techniques in a rare cultural exchange between the two countries.
Monk, an innovative singer, composer, filmmaker and choreographer, gave a workshop at the national conservatoire before a concert in Damascus on Monday with vocalists Theo Blackman and Katie Geissinger.
Washington has imposed sanctions on Syria over its support for anti-U.S. groups in the Middle East.
Politics featured little as Monk and Geissinger gave Syrian singers, dancers and actors lessons in choreography, vocal techniques and how to construct complex singing forms.
"Everybody was nervous and little by little we spoke the same language. I shared some of the discoveries I have made in very direct way. It will help people experience the concert with more knowledge," Monk told Reuters.
"If we come and just perform we will never find out where Syrian artists are coming from and what they know."
Monk was invited by the Syrian government as part of performances to celebrate Damascus as the 2008 capital of Arab culture.
The last U.S. group to perform in Syria was the jazzy Freddie Bryant and Kaleidoscope in 2004. Continued...

Community Living at its Best
As a residential college, Westmont seeks to create an atmosphere that helps you develop as a whole person. The residence halls provide many opportunities for social, intellectual, and spiritual growth. You can share life histories, test ideas, and explore the significance of your spiritual commitments with other students in your hall. In this learning community, maturity results from listening with humility, inviting one another to share points of view on various issues, understanding our core convictions, and appreciating the range of expressions among God's people.
Residence living contributes to our learning community. Casual conversation about a lecture or chapel topic, a late-night study group, a thematic film series followed by a guided discussion, or a reading group just for fun–all these and more make the residence halls a learning enterprise.
At Westmont, we want you to embrace learning in all its forms. Whether you are grappling with a new concept in the classroom, a service project that awakens your compassion for others, or a required, reflective paper in the context of our disciplinary process, we hope you make connections between the college curriculum and your life experiences. Living in such close proximity to one another, coupled with activities and educational programs provided by the staff, make the residence halls an ideal place for these associations to occur.
Residence living also fosters a reflective community. Learning about yourself, your life in Christ, and your relationship with others is a significant part of your Westmont experience.
Living in community allows you to enjoy common activities, form relationships with others, and develop the ability to work through difficult times. You will learn the benefits of suspending judgments in order to gain insight into perspectives that differ from your own. You will be challenged to learn more about yourself: who you are, who you want to be, and how you might contribute to our community.
This process involves taking risks to become your own person, resisting the pressure to conform to others' expectations, and finding the peace that comes when your actions and beliefs agree with the person God created you to be.
In addition, campus living creates a responsive community. A culture of involvement at Westmont sets the stage for you to become an active participant in our community.
Through formal programs or individual relationships, we encourage you to respond to various needs. There are many ways you can get involved: writing for the school newspaper, helping with the campus debate tournament, serving in the energetic Westmont College Student Association, or joining one of nearly 40 student-run ministries. We invite you to come to Westmont ready to offer your gifts and abilities.
We also believe that the residential setting facilitates an appreciative community. During your college years, you will encounter a variety of thoughts and outlooks. The residential experience provides opportunities to learn from people of various economic, racial, denominational, political, and regional backgrounds. We invite you to be open to these differences and to clarify your own personal commitments.
Our community seeks to honor Christ in all that we say and do. In the end, we hope to attain a deep respect and appreciation for our breadth of experiences and convictions in the unity of God's Spirit. Many visionaries and benefactors have come before us, and we are thankful for their legacy.

I'm in the practice gymnasium at East High School in Waterloo, Iowa - in ward four, precinct one (pictured above).
It looks like about more than 300 people are here carrying signs for every Democratic candidate are lined up to sign in. There is a palpable sense of excitement in the air as residents of the area prepare to caucus after the nearly year-long campaign.
In interviews over the holidays, residents of the large black community here tended to support Barack Obama. Tonight, however, folks seem fairly evenly distributed among the major candidates, at least so far.
In about half an hour, the doors will close - although people who are already in line will be given a chance to sign in. I plan to find a corner from which I can observe the proceedings without being mistaken for a voter. You can read my final report here.

Antivirulence drugs disarm pathogens rather than kill them, and although they could be effective in theory, antivirulence drugs have never been tested in humans. A new study to in mBio reveals these drugs have the potential to fight infection while avoiding the pitfalls of drug resistance.
Traditional antibiotics aim to kill or stop the growth of pathogens, but antivirulence drugs prevent disease by neutralizing virulence factors, the specific proteins or toxins that a pathogen uses to establish an infection. It's long been thought that such a strategy could prevent pathogens from developing drug resistance, since antivirulence drugs don't kill the pathogens that are susceptible and leave a wide opening for the few resistant organisms that may be left. Thus, in theory, antivirulence drugs don't offer much benefit to the resistant pathogens that get around the drug. However, these ideas have never been tested. This new study provides evidence that antivirulence drugs have the potential to suppress resistance – if they are applied in the right way.

New York Rooftops, My Windows in New York — Mstislav Dobuzhinsky
Book Shelves #52, 12.23.2012
Book shelves series #52, fifty-second Sunday of 2012: In which, in this penultimate chapter, we return to the site of entry #1.
The first entry in this project was my bedside nightstand. This is what it looked like back in January:
This is it this morning:
This is the major difference:
The Kindle Fire has changed my late night shuffling habits.
Here are the books that are in the nightstand:
I read the Aira novel but completely forgot about it, which I'm sure says more about me than it.
Have no idea why this is in there:
But it's a fun book. With pictures! Sample:
Finally, Perec's Life A User's Manual—this is one of my reading goals for 2013. It seems like a good way to close out this penultimate post, as one of Perec's essays inspired this project
"Every library answers a twofold need, which is often also a twofold obsession: that of conserving certain objects (books) and that of organizing them in certain ways"
—Georges Perec, from "Brief Notes on the Art and Manner of Arranging One's Books" (1978)
Book Shelves #51, 12.16.2012
Book shelves series #51, fifty-first Sunday of 2012
I am very ready for this project to be over. Two more weeks.
At this point, I've photographed all book shelves (and other bookbearing surfaces) in the house, but clearly the book shelves aren't stable.
I mean, structurally, sure, they're stable.
But their content shifts.
So this week (having three weeks left to fill), I go back to a sitting room in the front of the house where I like to read.
Above, resting on this cabinet, some current reading, including the latest DFW collection and Chris Ware's Building Stories.
Below, a coffee table (first photographed in #7 of this series):
As usual, a few coffee table books, plus several review copies that I need to look at sometime next week:
One of the coffee table books is by Thomas Bernhard:
To the right of the case, a bin of books—mostly review copies that come in that I plan to write more about:
Book Shelves #50, 12.09.2012
Book shelves series #50, fiftieth Sunday of 2012
There are fifty-three Sundays in 2012. I ran out of book shelves last week.
Here are some shelves/books from my office (work).
One wall is floor-to ceiling shelves—the whole wall—but most of the space is filled with files, folders, and professional books.
I tried to picture some of my favorite stuff—dictionaries, guides, and anthologies that remain inspiring.
There is also a little corner where I keep stuff I read in my office—review copies or other books that I work with when I have a spare hour.
Here's a shelf (double stacked, as you might be able to see) that gets constantly shifted around. There are a couple of books about usage here that I like to bring into the classroom.
Of course, the best usage guide is Strunk & White's classic:
This illustrated copy was a gift from some dear friends.
Joseph T. Shipley's The Origins of English Words: A Discursive Dictionary of Indo-European Roots is a favorite.
Interior sample:
Book Shelves #49, 12.02.2012
Book shelves series #49, forty-ninth Sunday of 2012
Unless I've somehow miscalculated, this is the last book shelf in my house. It's difficult to describe the room it's in—sort of like a storage corridor that serves as an attic (my attic is tiny) with an ersatz workshop. Kids paints and art supplies dominate the top shelf; photo albums and year books the bottom. The middle holds all sorts of books that I can't bear to get rid of, including a coffee-table history of MAD Magazine which is one of the first books I can remember begging my parents to get me.
There are also many, many back issues of MAD:
Also, lots of old books with out of date info, like a book about Jacques Cousteau, a book of Indian recipes which is more of a cultural guide, and this book of my home state:
Several old music zines (I should probably donate them to a zine library).
I have several dozens of these history packets called Discovery that I loved as a kid—they'd come with a booklet that illustrated the historical event in context, including opposing viewpoints, and they also had cool activities and games. I think they really helped me to learn as a child, and I can't bear to get rid of them. Apparently Dennis Miller sat for the portrait of Guy Fawkes in the second issue.
The Science in Science Fiction probably deserves its own post it's so wonderfully weird and silly.
Although this is the last shelf in my house, I said I'd do these posts each Sunday of 2012—and there are four more. I'll visit the bookshelves in my office, the books in my car, take another look at the books on my nightstand (where I started) and then do a review post. Then I will never, ever do anything like this again.
Book Shelves #48, 11.25.2012
Book shelves series #48, forty-eighth Sunday of 2012
Another doublestocked shelf: The front stack (on the right) are all books I've been intending to read at some point, or been reading slowly or piecemeal. Behind and to the left: Lots of old hardbacks—some Yeats, some H.G. Wells, Arthurian legends, and Shakespeare-related texts. A totally misshelved and out-of date Lonely Planet guide (why is it there?). Some Asimov. A few faves:
Book Shelves #47, 11.18.2012
Book shelves series #47, forty-seventh Sunday of 2012
So this is what happens—books pile up. Okay, maybe that sentence is missing a clear subject: I pile books up.
This stack mounded on my record player over the last week; I intended to shelve about half of these:
My shelving solution is woefully short-term (more double stocked shelves).
Anyway, this shelf is mostly other media, including DVDs, a few records, and playing cards.
Of note (perhaps) are the three illustrated volumes on the left that I've had forever.
The illustrated Kidnapped features art by N.C. Wyeth:
The illustrated Kipling was actually my father's:
Have you read Adam Novy's novel The Avian Gospels? It's good stuff.
Like many bibliophiles, I'm a sucker for plain Penguins:
Book Shelves #46, 11.11.2012
Book shelves series #46, forty-sixth Sunday of 2012
Another double-stacked shelf. This one even has a stack of drifters.
This shelf is at my eye/arm level, and looking at it this way, I see that it gets a lot of shuffling—I can see where I started certain projects for the site.
I can see books that are in line, so to speak, for either proper shelving or for reading.
The mounding stack on the shelf below is a bit out of control, although most of what sits there comes from other places (I kinda sorta wrote about those here).
Below: Unsorted stuff that I've been reading of an afternoon:
This is the front stack—books that need proper shelving elsewhere, books that I've read (and sometimes reviewed here) in the past few months, or meant to read, or in some other way consulted or read from:
The far right side of the shelf—again, a very mixed bag. I think I originally intended to properly shelf everything here and then got sidetracked:
Moving left:
And here's what's behind the front stack—okay, I can see now the edges of an idea I had for shelving; I also see where I just abandoned that idea:
This whole project I blame on an essay by Georges Perec, collected in this one:
This is one of my favorite book covers:
More covers I like from this shelf:
Book Shelves #45, 11.04.2012
Book shelves series #45, forty-fifth Sunday of 2012
Yon shelf, murky, dim:
Homeboy on the end, once my parents', tschotchke of time in '80s South Africa, used to work as a bookend, now he just hangs out on this double-booked shelf.
Front layer:
Back layer, including a number of volumes (to be clear: Chabon, Martel, Diaz, Eugenides) I should just trade in.
(Also: I hate this project and wish I'd never started it).
Book Shelves #44, 10.28.2012
Book shelves series #44, forty-fourth Sunday of 2012
Not a particularly beautiful shelf—it sits between a TV and a soundbar; houses an unused Wii, an analog clock, and a picture of my kids. The books camouflage cords and wires.
You can see the whole shelf in the top pic. The big pic on the right: a Kokeshi doll set on Henry Miller volume that was a gift from a friend years ago in high school.
To the left: Bukowski, Miller, Anaïs Nin. Then, a section of stuff you can't really see, including an extremely tattered copy of A Passage to India.
Lower right: Mass-market paperbacks that were especially important to me over the years and as a result have managed to hang around—even in cases where they were replaced by handsomer volumes. Usually obscured by the clock. Includes stuff by Borges, Carson McCullers, Hemingway, Twain, Chopin, Richard Wright . . .
Book Shelves #43, 10.21.2012
Book shelves series #43, forty-third Sunday of 2012
Kind of a hodgepodge shelf—some literary biography, a few now-redundant collections, some literary criticism, art books, etc.
Tracy Daugherty's Donald Barthelme biography Hiding Man is on the far left; I reviewed it a few years ago, taking note of my favorite part, the so-called postmodernists' dinner.
Next to it is Susan Sontag's Reborn, a collection of early journals that I also reviewed.
Next to these two is Sara Davidson's Loose Change. My aunt gave me a box of books years ago (lots of Asimov and Octavia Butler) and this was in here.
I knew about it because of a long essay in a 2007 issue of The Believer.
I picked up Penguin's The Essential James Joyce in Jimbocho, an area in Tokyo known for used bookstores.
I recall paying maybe ¥100 for it. It comprises a few selections from Ulysses and Finnegans Wake, some of Joyce's (totally unessential) poetry, and the entirety of Dubliners, Exiles, and Portrait. I've kept it because of sentiment (and I like the cover).
Book Shelves #42, 10.14.2012
Book shelves series #42, forty-second Sunday of 2012
Couldn't really get a good pic of the whole shelf, so in portions, starting with a spread of postmodernist favorites from years past. Julia Kristeva was a particular favorite of mine in grad school, but her Portable stands up well outside of, jeez, I dunno, theory and deconstruction and all that jazz; there are plenty of memoirish essays, including a wonderful piece on Paris '68 and Tel Quel &c. Sam Kimball's book The Infanticidal Logic of Evolution and Culture still maintains an important place in the way I approach analyzing any kind of storytelling. Love the cover of this first American edition of Foucault's Madness and Civilization, which I bought for a dollar years ago at a Friends of the Library sale:
I may or may not have obtained the The Viking Portable Nietzsche through nefarious means in my sixteenth year. In any case, it's not really the best intro (I'm partial to The Gay Science), but it's not bad. The Plato I've had forever. I never finished Bloom's The Western Canon, although I've returned to it many times in the past five or six years, as I've opened up more to his ideas. I wrote about many of the books on this shelf, including a few by Simon Critchley.
The book I'd most recommend on this section of the shelf—indeed, the entire shelf—is Freud's The Future of an Illusion:
The end of the shelf moves into more pop territory, including two good ones by AV Club head writer Nathan Rabin. You might also note Reality Hunger, a book that I am increasingly afraid to go back to, fearing that I probably agree more with Shields's thesis, even if I didn't particularly like his synthesis.
Adam Thirlwell's The Delighted States is an overlooked gem that should have gotten more attention than Shields's "manifesto." He shares a bit of Georges Perec (whose writing helped spark this project of mine):
James Wood's How Fiction Works got my goat:
From my review:
Like most people who love to read, both academically and for pleasure, I like a good argument, and Wood's aesthetic criticism is a marvelous platform for my ire, especially in a world that increasingly seems to not care about reading fiction. Wood is a gifted writer, even if his masterful skill at sublimating his personal opinion into a front of absolute authority is maddening. There's actually probably more in his book that I agree with than not, but it's those major sticking points on literary approaches that stick in my craw. It's also those major sticking points that make the book an interesting read. I'd like to think that I'm not interested in merely having my opinions re-confirmed.
Book Shelves #41, 10.07.2012
Book shelves series #41, forty-first Sunday of 2012
Lots of lovely books and mags with pictures.
Several years worth of subscription to The Believer, with an unsorted stack setting up front:
I suppose I could write a whole post about The Believer, which I think is an excellent mag but no longer subscribe to, but instead, here's a cover from Charles Burns:
Charles Burns also shows up in this section, which includes stuff by R. Crumb, Daniel Clowes, Art Spiegelman, and more:
The wife got me a subscription to The Paris Review last year; then, some unsorted books, and then the Nausicaä collection (also courtesy the wife):
Nausicaä spread out on my couch. (My son and I ended up looking through them for an hour):
Book Shelves #40, 9.30.2012
Book shelves series #40, fortieth Sunday of 2012
So we dip into the penultimate book shelf in this series, the one I shot last week in hazy hangover.
(This shelf is lower right; I'll be working down to up and right to left).
Kids puzzles and a toy accordion block some books on folklore, history, and music.
As always, sorry for the glare, blur, and poor lighting. Blame my ancient iPhone 3gs .
A book my grandmother gave me a few years ago:
This is a wonderful old collection:
Pissing in the Snow: I've gone to that well more than once.
Kind of a motley crew here; the Barthes is misshelved but the lit crit shelves above are too full, so . . .
Musical bios. More of these are scattered around the house. I gave away a few recently.
Some of these books made it on to a list I wrote of seven great books about rock and roll.
Anthony Scaduto's Dylan bio, which I, ahem, *borrowed* from my uncle years ago.
It made the rounds in high school but I managed to get it back somehow (but not its cover):
Book Shelves #38, 9.16.2012
Book shelves series #38, thirty-eighth Sunday of 2012
The final entry on this corner piece.
What have these volumes in common? They are all aesthetically pleasing.
They are all too tall to fit elsewhere comfortably.
Several issues of McSweeney's, some art books, and some graphic novels:
I've already expressed my strong enthusiasm for Charles Burns's X'ed Out. The Acme Library pictured is part of Chris Ware's series, and is beautiful and claustrophobic.
McSweeney's #28 comprises eight little hardbacked fables that arrange into two "puzzle" covers:
I've also written enthusiastically about Max Ernst's surreal graphic novel, Une Semaine de Bonte:
America's Great Adventure is this wonderful book that pairs American writing (poems, songs, excerpts from novels and journals) with American paintings to tell a version of American history:
It probably deserves its own review. Short review: It's a wonderful book if you can find it.
Book Shelves #37, 9.09.2012
Book shelves series #37, thirty-seventh Sunday of 2012
Eggers, Dave. Beloved, reviled, sainted, hated.
I wrote about Eggers at some length here already, so I won't repeat myself.

I busted my front passenger fog lamp bracket and bulb and, instead of fixing them, I decided to do something I've been thinking about for a while - pull the whole deal and replace them with grilles for future air ducting. (I think someone else has done this - maybe it was yooper?) In the summer, I'll put air ducts behind these. In the winter, I could block them off or leave them as is.
This only took drilling one hole in the bumper on each side to secure the lower part of the screen. The brackets include the lower air ducts, so I used a dremel to cut my (broken) brackets down to just the duct. It connects to the lower bumper using the same 2 bolts they used originally + I connected the top of it to the screen with one more tiny bolt.
I'ts not for everyone and I'm not even sure I'll keep it like this but... I think I will. The only downside: by having the DRLs and fogs off the system, the turn signal do a fast-blink. Ugh, like a busted 1980 ford taurus. THAT'S terrible - I've got to figure out a fix for that.

In order to turn your gloomy town into a real city, you have to create some kind of industry. Still, don't build too many of these, as the quality of the air will greatly suffer and your town will soon become smoggy and polluted. Apart from factories and business establishments, you have to provide living space for the numerous people who desire to become citizens of your soon-to-be megapolis. As a mayor you will be able to build various types of apartment blocks, malls, restaurants, cafeterias, and many, many more.
The game allows you to modify different aspects of your town's infrastructure in order to make it a thriving place. Apart from strategically placing various useful structures, you can also build roads and streets, which have to connect all of the town's buildings. Planning your city is quite important, too, as you have limited amount of buildable area at your disposal..
Nokia Modern Mayor comes with some in-app purchases, but the Finnish giant claims that these go to various charity organizations. It is also said that gamers can make "the world a little better and healthier" by choosing which local charity to support.

The Pet Industry
According to the 2015/2016 APPA National Pet Owners Survey, published by the American Pet Products Manufacturers Association, Inc., in 2014, approximately 79.7 million U.S. households reported owning a pet with an estimated pet population of 77.8 million dogs and 85.8 million cats.
In 2014, total pet industry expenditures reached $74.23 billion, and $77.03 billion is projected for 2015.
The pet industry is and has been one of only a handful of industries not significantly impacted by economic recessions. Additional statistics revealed in the APPA 2014/2015 Survey:
- 2014 U.S. retail sales of pet supplies were $43.8 billion.
- Increasingly, pets are considered to be members of the family and a growing and vauable source for companionship, relaxation and stress relief, etc. Approximately 65 percent of U.S. households own a pet and of those, 32 percent own more than one.
In general, there is strong competition for the "retail shelf space" especially as related to non-proprietary, commodity pet products. Over eighty percent of OurPet's products are proprietary with patents or patent pending status. OurPet's generally avoids non-proprietary, commodity products where price is the major consideration and copying is common. OurPet's products are perceived as innovative, quality, upscale products selling at affordable prices.

Canadian National Railway Co. shares have been on a relatively steady climb throughout the year and have reached the point where CIBC World Markets Inc. analyst Jacob Bout believes investors should be more cautious before buying in.
He downgraded the stock to "sector performer" from "sector outperformer," but points out he still likes the stock and continues to rank it as a top pick in the sector.
Year-to-date, CN has posted carload growth of 7 per cent over 2010, as it made headway in taking more market share, and long-term fundamentals in the industry remain strong, he commented.
It's just that the stock is reaching his 52-week price target and may be running out of fuel for the moment.
"CN's push towards improved customer service, combined with its class-leading operating efficiency, is a competitive advantage over its peers," said Mr. Bout, adding that its network has proven it can handle fluctuations in volumes.
Downside: Mr. Bout maintained an $85 price target.
CIBC World Markets Inc.'s Kevin Chiang has downgraded Transat A.T. Inc. to "sector performer" from "sector outperformer." Mr. Chiang cited "uncertainty facing the company," ranging from increased competition, volatile demand, and other "macro headwinds affecting leisure travel demand." He's concerned about the travel company's winter strategy in competing in the already crowded sun destination markets, commenting that Transat "no longer appears to be in control of its own destiny."
Downside: Mr. Chiang cut his price target to $14 from $15.50.

Risks are growing that Western Potash Corp. may not be able to finance its multibillion-dollar Milestone mine, warned Wellington West Capital Markets Inc. analyst Robert Winslow. Industry giant BHP Billiton has announced a further $488-million in investment in its Jansen potash project in Saskatchewan, and Mr. Winslow believes "Western Potash's prospects are increasingly challenged as greenfield mine resources become more scarce with the larger, well-financed competitors securing the equipment, logistics capacity, and labour needed to bring new production to market."
Downside: Mr. Winslow downgraded Western Potash to "underperform" from "market perform," but raised his price target by 10 cents to $1.35 as he tweaked his estimates for the mine's size and operating costs.
Market sentiment is turning increasingly positive towards Avid Technology Inc. amid signals that more professionals will migrate from Apple's unpopular new version of Final Cut Pro to Avid's Media Composer, noted Brigantine Advisors analyst Barbara Coffey. While Adobe may aggressively try to capture these non-linear editing users, its suite of video products is largely untested and Avid stands to gain the most business, she said.
Upside: Ms. Coffey upgraded Avid to "buy" and raised her price target by $2 to $22.
Open Text Corp. has bought business process management provider Global 360 for $260-million (U.S.), "a solid strategic acquisition" according to Versant Partners analyst Tom Liston. He believes Global 360 will complement Open Text's acquisition of Metastorm from earlier this year. "We anticipate strong cross-selling opportunities with the current Open Text customer base," he said.
Upside: Mr. Liston maintained a one-year price target of $78 (U.S.), with a "buy" rating.Report Typo/Error

Love this sequin jacket from Refinery 29. I would pair it with leather shorts and turquoise platforms.

I had troubles getting the example code working with Uno.
I was successful with the RTC library (https://github.com/adafruit/RTClib) connecting SDA - A4, SCL - A5.
No public wish lists :(
