Graphic Label Solutions Installs First EFI Jetrion LED Inkjet Press in the United States
FREMONT, CA—June 20, 2014—EFI, a world leader in customer-focused digital printing innovation, has announced that Graphic Label Solutions (GLS), a WBENC Certified Diversity Supplier headquartered in Columbia, TN, has become the first company in the United States to install EFI's Jetrion 4950LX LED inkjet narrow web press.
The newly installed technology has completely transformed GLS, as the label converting company has sold off its previous production equipment—including a narrow web flexographic press, a screen printing press and a roll-to-roll, solvent inkjet printer—replacing it all with the new, 13.5″ wide press from EFI.
The purchase reflects the continual, strategic steps GLS takes to refine both its market position and the strategic advantage it offers to clients. Last year, GLS's progressive approach earned the U.S. Small Business Administration's HUBZone Company of the Year award for the State of Tennessee. Now, GLS is fully engaged on its next significant initiative, ramping up sustainability efforts to meet corporations' growing need for greener, environmentally-friendly supply chains. The Jetrion 4950LX press, which uses much less energy than other analog or digital narrow web printing methods, is key to GLS's environmental offering.
Sustainability makes good business sense with LED
"The brands we work with are all setting goals for sustainability, and they want suppliers who share that commitment," according to GLS's founder and president, Deb Warner. "When I first saw EFI Jetrion UV-inkjet technology a few years ago, I knew it would help us offer high quality while reducing waste. LED was the missing piece I needed to really address what our clients are looking for from a sustainability perspective."
GLS's new Jetrion 4950LX LED press extends the versatile capabilities of EFI's digital label printing systems, and gives users the ability to produce more primary applications with higher image quality. The press can also reproduce smaller type all the way down to 2-pt. text, which allows for creativity in the security market.
"The Jetrion 4950LX not only offers a small environmental footprint, it has an excellent white ink and, at 720×720 dpi, it produces very crisp text and images, and allows us to run an unlimited number of colors," noted Warner.
EFI's industry-leading "cool cure" LED UV-inkjet curing technology gives GLS the ability to run thin and challenging stocks ranging from 0.5 mil to 30+ mil thick. The press also reduces costs with lower energy usage and LED's significantly longer lamp life compared to traditional UV-curing lamps.
The Jetrion 4950LX LED press prints on the same substrates GLS used on conventional equipment, providing a level of flexibility that Warner can use to expand offerings in multiple new markets, with a major focus on sustainably managed, "cradle to cradle" applications.
GLS is currently developing attractive, innovative and sustainable products with its Jetrion press, including a point-of-purchase "shelf talker" tag printed on a completely biodegradable, paper-like substrate made of stone. GLS is also using the press to develop new UL- and cUL-approved OEM labels and decals. The Jetrion 4950LX press is the first Jetrion product compatible with a full range of flexible packaging and shrink sleeves substrates, which opens the door to still more new applications at GLS.
GLS's digital converting operation now offers lower manufacturing costs and exceptional quality, using EFI's proven inkjet imaging technology and the modular equipment installed on the press, including in-line flexo varnish and lamination, slitting and laser diecutting systems. GLS's press also has on-board video inspection technology from another supplier that checks for variances in color or registration.
The press's laser diecutting system eliminates the costs for traditional dies, which will offer substantial savings for customers. Removing the waste associated with diecutting makeready processes also is compatible with GLS's sustainability efforts.
"The benefits and features of our newest press model are a game changer in narrow web printing, creating a unique opportunity for lean manufacturing of short- and medium-run labels," relayed Stephen Emery, vice president of EFI's Jetrion and ink business operations. "As the very first EFI Jetrion 4950LX user in the country, GLS is establishing a competitive advantage for itself with LED while showing how the label and packaging industry can continue evolving along a sustainable path."

2005: The dominating Wright likely could at defensive tackle as a junior in 2005. He'll sit out 2005 spring drills to concentrate on his academics.
2004: Wright was an often-used and effective backup defensive tackle behind Shaun Cody as a sophomore in 2004 and even started twice (BYU and Arizona) when Cody moved to end. Overall in 2004 while appearing in 11 games, he had 23 tackles, including 6 for losses of 17 yards (with 2 sacks for 10 yards), plus he deflected 2 passes and recovered 2 fumbles. He made 2004 All-Pac-10 honorable mention. He had a team-high 6 tackles (with 2 for losses, including a sack) and returned a fumble 20 yards for a TD against Colorado State.

He had 2 tackles, a fumble recovery and a deflection at Washington State. He posted 3 tackles (2.5 for loss) against Oklahoma. He was hampered during the second half of the year with a sprained right elbow that he hurt prior to the Arizona State game and then during the Washington contest. And he sprained his left ankle against Arizona, which sidelined him for USC's next 2 games (Notre Dame and UCLA).
2003: Wright was a backup defensive tackle behind Shaun Cody as a first-year freshman in 2003. Overall in 2003 while appearing in 9 games (all but Auburn, California, Arizona State and Washington), he had 8 tackles, including 2 for losses of 10 yards (with an 8-yard sack), plus 3 deflections. He missed the Washington game because of an infection on his chin. He had 3 tackles at Arizona, 2 against both Stanford and Oregon State, and 1 (an 8-yard sack) against Michigan in the Rose Bowl (with a deflection).
JUNIOR COLLEGE: He actually signed with USC in 2002, but did not qualify for admission, so he attended Long Beach (Calif.) City College that season as a part-time student (he didn't play football there).
HIGH SCHOOL: He earned 2001 Super Prep All-American, Prep Star All-American, Tom Lemming All-American, Max Emfinger All-American, Student Sports All-American second team, Super Prep Elite 50, Prep Star Dream Team, Super Prep All-Far West, Prep Star All-Western Region, Student Sports All-West first team, Long Beach Press-Telegram Best in the West first team, Tacoma News Tribune Western 100, Orange County Register Fab 15 first team, Las Vegas Sun Super 11 first team, Cal-Hi Sports All-State first team, All-CIF Southern Section first team, All-CIF Division I Defensive MVP, Los Angeles Times All-Southeast/South Coast first team and Long Beach Press-Telegram Dream Team first team Defensive MVP honors as a senior defensive lineman at Poly High in Long Beach (Calif.). He had 142 tackles (60 solo), including 16 sacks, plus 4 fumble recoveries, 3 forced fumbles, 20 deflections and an interception. As a junior in 2000, he made Cal-Hi Sports All-State first team, Cal-Hi Sports All-State Underclass first team, All-CIF Division I first team and Long Beach Press-Telegram Dream Team first team while recording 95 tackles (57 solo), with 25 sacks. He was a 3-year starter as Poly went 39-1-1 and won 3 CIF Division I titles. Current Trojans Darnell Bing, Hershel Dennis and Winston Justice also prepped at Poly.
PERSONAL: His cousin is former Arizona State tailback Mike Williams.

London mayoral election 2012
In 2012 over 2 million Londoners cast a valid first-preference vote for the city's mayor. In the second round, just 82,800 votes - representing 3.8% of the electorate - were registered for the winner, Boris Johnson. Where do all the second votes go, and how can you make the most of yours?
There were several critics from within the Conservative party of how the secretive Australian was masterminding their campaign. Not any more

Starland Vocal Band
On Bill & Taffy's second album, 1974's Aces, the duo enlisted 18-year-old singer and pianist Jon Carroll; the couple was so impressed by Carroll's performance they decided to form a new group, adding the youngster as well as vocalist Margot Chapman to become the Starland Vocal Band. They soon signed to Denver's Windsong label and in 1976 issued their self-titled debut LP, with the lead single "Afternoon Delight" quickly reaching the top of the charts on its way to helping earn them five Grammy nominations. (They won two, including Best New Artist.) "Afternoon Delight" was so enormously popular that the group even landed its own short-lived CBS variety series, The Starland Vocal Band Show, which featured a then-unknown David Letterman.
The second Starland Vocal Band album, Rear View Mirror, followed in 1977, but failed to match the success of its predecessor; Late Nite Radio, issued a year later, also fared poorly by comparison, and after scoring one last minor chart entry with the single "Loving You with My Eyes," the group disbanded in the wake of its fourth and final LP, 1980's 4 x 4. The Danoffs divorced in the wake of Starland Vocal Band's demise; Carroll and Chapman, who had also married at the peak of the group's success, later split up as well. All four members of the group later went on to mount solo careers, though never again recapturing the success of "Afternoon Delight." ~ Jason Ankeny

Coin-Tainer, whose factory in the Milaca industrial park was destroyed by fire on Jan. 15, may get some help from Mille Lacs County to rebuild.
The county commissioners met in a workshop on March 4 with community leaders to discuss the Coin-Tainer situation and by the end of the discussion, the board was considering tax abatement help if possible. The County Board authorized County Administrator Roxy Traxler to draft proposals for modifying the county's property tax abatement program, which now doesn't have a provision to help in catastrophic situations like Coin-Tainer's. The board would then consider modification options for possible adoption at its next business meeting.
Sixty-three employees worked at the Coin-Tainer plant, manufacturing coin wrappers and ticket rolls used at more than 90 percent of retail stores nationwide. The company also employed an additional 50 independent contractors.
Since the fire, the company's owners, Dave and Barbara Walters, have restarted much of Coin-Tainer's production through contracting with competitors. Dave Walters told the Union-Eagle last week that 25 Coin-Tainer employees who lived in the Milaca area have been doing work for Coin-Tainer in Elk River since the fire. He also said he plans to build a new factory in Milaca.
"We're buying all the products we used to manufacture, from competitors, set up through licensing agreements," Walter said. The Coin-Tainer employees are doing packaging, labeling, boxing, taping and shipping, and some are also rebuilding Coin-Tainer manufacturing equipment, according to Walters. He said that he is servicing 100 percent of the customers that he has.
Walters said his plan is to open a new plant in the Milaca industrial park by October. He is exploring if it would be on the same location as the old factory or at another spot. The plant that burned was 50,000 square feet and the new plant would be 30,000 square feet, he said.
The County Board, along with Milaca City Administrator Greg Lerud, county economic development coordinator Richard Baker and First National Bank of Milaca Vice President Kirby Allen discussed how they could assist in Coin-Tainer rebuilding.
Lerud said an option for the city of Milaca to explore is tax increment financing. He explained that the city could look into establishing a TIF district to encompass the site where Coin-Tainer would rebuild. TIF works by capturing the taxes paid on the increased value of a project compared to what existed before. Those captured taxes are then used to reimburse the developer, over a maximum of eight years, for eligible infrastructure and other costs that the developer incurred when doing the project.
The workshop discussion began with University of Minnesota Extension Educator Liz Templin presenting an economic impact analysis of the Coin-Tainer fire on the county, and she showed a graph explaining what sectors make up the employment in Mille Lacs County overall. Templin noted that the analysis gives "ball park" estimates because it was prepared in a relatively short amount of time. If Coin-Tainer folded completely, there would be a job loss equal to the 63 employees who had worked in the plant plus the 50 independent-contractor workers. The effect of the lost plant jobs would be considerably greater than losing the independent-contractor jobs because of the difference in pay, Templin noted.
Walters said after the workshop that the figures in the analysis, with the exception of the listed number of Coin-Tainer employees, do not represent the company's actual data. Walters said he will not divulge the actual data because that could be used by his competitors.
If Coin-Tainer actually paid its employees an average wage with benefits of $48,600 that the analysis estimated, there would be a very long line of people waiting in line to apply for employment at Coin-Tainer, Walters said. He also said the analysis' estimate of a $3.1 million plant payroll and of $23.2 million in annual sales are not representative of the company.
But what Templin and her associates at the U of M did achieve in producing the analysis was to show that there is a big ripple effect from a business that ceases operation.
It goes far beyond the lost job income and sales revenue; it also effects the wholesalers and other companies that gain revenue from supplying materials and more, Templin explained. Also, the restaurants and whatever other businesses that employees spend their income at suffer too, Templin said. The unemployed, for example, put off remodeling projects, and people may forget how much utilities and telecommunications are impacted from a company closing down, Templin noted.
Workshop attendees agreed that assisting Coin-Tainer has to happen as soon as possible.
Baker noted that area leaders looked around Milaca for a building Coin-Tainer could operate out of to go back into operation right after the fire, but a suitable structure wasn't available.
Baker asked the county commissioners if they would consider adding a clause in its property tax abatement policy so the county could also assist businesses that have catastrophes such as fires. When someone wants to construct a new building or buy new equipment, they have to put 20 percent down, so it gets pretty costly, Baker said.
When Traxler asked if the County Board is interested in looking at modifying its tax abatement rules, Board Chairman Phil Peterson answered that it is, and that it also has to act quickly.
Commissioner Genny Reynolds said this will be a good opportunity to "ramp up the options to help more businesses."
"And respond quicker," Peterson said.
The board also has to determine what effect modifying the tax abatement rules will have on existing businesses, Traxler suggested.
"Tax abatements are never popular with existing businesses, but this is a different economy now," Peterson said.

|The Montgomery County Sheriff's Office had a unique system for jail inmates incarcerated for civil action called "Jail Limit Markers." The Jail Limit Markers came into effect about 1840, after a law was established by the Court of Common Pleas. The markers created an area outside of the jail that allowed civil inmates to leave the jail to work, visit their family or carry out legitimate business matters. But, these inmates had to stay within the area formed by the jail limit markers. They were only allowed out of the jail between sunrise and sunset. The markers were not to exceed one mile in any direction from the jail. The last time the jail limit markers in Montgomery County were used was 1913.
Pictured to the left is a Jail Limit Marker that was discovered buried in the earth. It was recovered and placed in front of the new Montgomery County Sheriff's Office and Jail.

Schoharie County - Sheriff Henry "Dick" Steadman
Sheriff Steadman was shot and killed in the Court House on July 16, 1930 by a prisoner who was consealing a gun. It is interesting to note that the picture was taken only a few weeks before his untimely death as evidenced by the calender on the wall in the photo. Sheriff Steadman is honored on Police memorials in Albany and Washington.
FRONT ROW, Left to Right
Al Smith, the famed New York politician was the first major party candidate to run for President who was Catholic. Though he served four two-year terms as Governor and served for several years as Speaker of the New York State Assembly, we feel the most important office he ever held was that of Sheriff of New York County (Manhattan). In 1914, the career politician left his powerful position in the Assembly to run for Sheriff. At the time, Sheriffs were compensated, not from the public treasury, by retaining fees they charged for executing and enforcing civil process. (note this has since been changed and these fees go into the county treasury). In a county like New York, the Sheriff did a tremendous volume and made a staggering amount of money. In Al Smith's case, the desire to be Sheriff was to raise funding to run for Governor. Once Governor, Smith successfully worked to change how a Sheriff was compensated.
The year was 1916, and the county's first reported murder was solved through remedial forensic pathology. Dr. Abel Watkins lived on the east side of the small village near a cabin occupied by the Perry family. The Dr's wife, one of his children and Mr. Perry had been found dead. The Sheriff was called. The community became suspicious because of Dr. Watkin's "unusual attention" to Mrs. Perry.
After conferring with the Sheriff, the corner's physician decided the only way to decide the validity of the rumor of poisoning was to feed the stomach of one of the deceased to a dog. When the dog died it was decided to arrest Dr. Watkins. In the meantime, the Doctor had taken his own life.
Editors Note – This story is taken from The Sheriff of Wyoming County:150 Years of Protection and Service, a book written by former Wyoming County Sheriff Allen Capwell.
The 1980's New York State prison population grew from 23,558 inmates in January 1981 to 55,564 inmates in December 1990. The State did not have the bed space for this massive influx of inmates. They stopped accepting sentenced inmates, forcing county jails to hold the inmates. Sheriffs across the State were dealing with serious overcrowding as a result. They were being asked to deal with the State's problem, which was causing serious tension within the overcrowded jails, not to mention the evaporation of fiscal resources.
This frustration boiled over in Saratoga County. On October 26, 1983, Sheriff Jim Bowen invited the media to photograph him handcuffing a "state ready" inmate to the exterior fence of a Downstate Correctional Facility. Sheriff Bowen's action clearly drew the attention of then Governor Mario Cuomo and the New York State Legislature. Using the criticisms of Sheriff Bowen's action as a façade, the Governor and Legislature finally took seriously the need for a major capital expansion project of the State prison system. Though it took the rest of the 80's to solve the prison crisis one can trace Sheriff Bowen's action to the event that got the governing factions of the State of New York to take serious action.
Editors Note – Shortly after the "state ready" inmate was handcuffed to the fence, state correction officers released him and he was accepted into the state prison system.

WASHINGTON — The Republican-led U.S. House of Representatives defied a veto threat by President Barack Obama on Friday and voted to take money from his health-care overhaul to extend low-interest rates for federal student loans.
On a mostly party-line vote of 215-195, the House sent the measure to the Senate where Obama's Democrats are certain to reject it. Like the president, they want to renew the low rate, but favour covering the one-year, US$6 billion cost by ending a tax break for the rich.
The matter has emerged as an issue in advance of the Nov. 6 congressional and presidential elections. Both sides are vying for the youth vote and the support of parents struggling help put their children through college.
Democrats and Republicans have until July 1 to find a compromise. That is when the rate is set to double on Stafford loans to 6.8% for more than 7 million students.
Obama cranked up pressure on Congress in recent weeks with visits to college campuses where he portrayed Republicans as unsympathetic to their plight.
House Speaker John Boehner fired back this week by accusing Obama of playing politics and manufacturing a fight. Boehner insisted that his party would find a solution.
Shortly before the House vote, Boehner said: "Nobody wants to see student loan interest rates go up – especially when you got recent college graduates (with) 50% unemployed or under-employed because of the president's economic policies."
Despite claims to the contrary, Democrats said Republicans had little if any interest in the problem until Obama hammered them on it.
"The Republicans have folded, because the president made the issue too hot to handle," said House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi.
Democrats denounced the Republicans' proposal to extend the student loan interest rate because it targets Obama's 2010 health-care law, which Republicans have sought to repeal.
Their measure would eliminate the Prevention and Public Health Fund, which Republicans denounced as a "slush fund."
Republicans noted that $4 billion had been taken out of it just months ago to finance an extension of a payroll tax and jobless benefits.
"It's a common-sense plan that deserves bipartisan support," said Republican Representative Judy Biggert, a chief sponsor of the measure.
Democrats complained it would eliminate the remaining $12 billion in the fund, which they say is critical to preventative health care, particularly for women and children.
"This bill goes in the wrong direction," said House Democratic Whip Steny Hoyer.
The White House, in its veto threat, called the bill "a politically motivated proposal and not the serious response to a problem that America's college students deserve."
The Senate is set to vote on May 8 on a bill to fund extending the loan rate by plugging a loophole that Democrats say wealthy professionals use to avoid payroll taxes.
Though Democrats control the Senate, Republicans are expected to block the measure, raising pressure to compromise.
Republican Representative Mike Simpson said the matter would ultimately go to a House-Senate conference. "There's plenty of time, a couple of months, to resolve this problem," he said.
Representative Xavier Becerra, a member of Democratic leadership, said, "This is an all-hands on deck moment. Everyone should be asked to put something on the table."

This number (36,000) will include all qualified and charity runners, but does it includes the DNF's and all the comped numbers to the town's on the course, police, fire, etc? If the 5000ish DNF's count as part of the 36,000 then we're only looking at a 4000 runner increase for qualified runners, right?
That's my understanding, but 4000 extra qualifiers is still a lot of people. I know that some of the charities thought they might get extra spots as well, but the charity I'm in touch with hasn't heard from the BAA on that issue. Otherwise I hope there are some spots available on October 5 when I run St. George.
Spiderpig - I think you'll be fine. I agree with others that think it will close after Chicago on Oct 13th. Good luck.

LISTEN: Carl Paladino Blasts Gov. Cuomo on Delayed Fracking Decision
Is there any accountability in government anymore? Yet another politician is in the middle of a Federal investigation involving corruption. State Senator John Sampson turned himself into authorities on Monday and is reportedly being charged with embezzlement, obstruction of justice and witness tampering. This, along with numerous other topics was covered with former New York gubernatorial candidate Carl Paladino on "The John Gambling Show" Tuesday morning.
Paladino laid into the state's politicians and didn't mince words when talking to John Gambling on WOR 710. No one was safe from Paladino who criticized everyone from Governor Cuomo to the media. The Buffalo businessman said if Governor Cuomo and prosecutors wanted to they could do something about the "culture of corruption" currently consuming government. Listen below to Paladino's take on the lack of accountability in state government.
Paladino continued the attack when talking about Cuomo's lack of action on a decision regarding fracking in upstate New York. "That's a prime example of the failed leadership of this liberal elitist government that we continue to have in this state," Paladino told John on WOR 710. The businessman and political activist from Buffalo also put the blame on Albany's press core. "These young kids in the press are just terrible," Paladino said. "That Albany press core is just terrible, they let them (politicians) get away with the nonsense."
Listen below to John Gambling's interview with 2010 NY gubernatorial candidate Carl Paladino.

Fibre myth
Granny always said if you didn't eat your fibre you'd end up with legs like her - permanently narked off and clad in nuclear-proof tights to disguise all the purpley marbling covering each of her trunk-like pegs. Well, granny was wrong.
According to the venerable Edinburgh Vein Survey of 2003, there is no association between a fibre-filled diet (and thus regular bowel-emptying) and the presence or severity of varicose veins. So there.
Sit, don't stand
Spending the day on one's feet has long been linked with prematurely veiny legs, and a prospective study of nearly 10,000 Danes has proved it. So give yourself a nice sit down and let the penpushers do the running about for a change.

Denver Broncos vs New England Patriots 2012 NFL Playoff Odds
The AFC's first Divisional round battle will take place this evening at Gillette Stadium in Foxboro, Massachusetts. AFC East Champion and the conference's top seed, the New England Patriots, will butt heads with the 8-8 Denver Broncos at 8:00pm ET on CBS. Odds makers, based upon the 14 point line, are considering this a slam dunk win for the Patriots. Books are also anticipating plenty of points in tonight's contest as the game total is set at 50.5.

When these two teams hooked up at Mile High Stadium four weeks ago Denver had a six game win streak on the line. The Broncos appeared poised to successfully defend that streak after jumping out to a 16-7 lead, but their fast start would quickly fade as the Patriots outscored them 34-7 the rest of the way. However, were it not for three Denver fumbles, the outcome might have looked much different.
The Broncos, while no offensive powerhouse, proved more than capable of moving the ball on New England's suspect defense, finishing the game with 23 first downs and 393 total yards. Tim Tebow also showed well, throwing for 194 yards while rushing for 93 yards and two touchdowns on just 12 carries. The problem for Denver, in addition to the turnovers, was its inability to stop the Patriots offense.
Unfortunately for the Broncos and the hoards of Tebow lovers, that will be their undoing this evening as well. Denver's defense made strides this season, but it is still a long ways off from being able to shut down a team like New England, particularly at Gillette Stadium.
One gets the feeling that Tom Brady, who completed 23-of-34 passes for 320 yards and two touchdowns in New England's 41-23 win at Denver, wants to make a statement in this game. That may sound silly since the Broncos just made it into the playoffs with an 8-8 record, but the truth is, the Patriots do have something to prove. New England's last Super Bowl win came in 2005 and its last three post-season games all ended in defeat, including the last two at Foxboro.
Brady and Head Coach Bill Belichick can, perhaps, see their legacy being tarnished just a bit, but here's saying, unequivocally, that New England's post-season slide ends tonight. Some people are inclined to believe that God is somehow behind Tebow's success this season and Denver's 'miracle' win over the Steelers last weekend, well, it will take a super natural power for the Broncos to win this game.

Maurice Sendak Curates Hannukah Lamp Show at the Jewish Museum
In the grand tradition of the winter holiday spirit, the Jewish Museum is prepared for Hannukah ahead of the start of the Festival of Lights. For the holiday, which begins this year on Dec. 20, the museum asked children's book author and illustrator Maurice Sendak to choose a selection of Hannukah lamps, more commonly known as menorahs, from its collection to put on display.
The 33 lamps Sendak selected were made in Germany, Italy, Denmark, Spain and Austria, among other countries, and are part of an exhibit open at the museum called An Artist Remembers.
Though Sendak is known for his elaborate line drawings and whimsical imaginative books like "Where The Wild Things Are," the lamps on display at The Jewish Museum reflect a pared-down sensibility. Most of the pieces were cast in copper alloy and contain simple elements that reflect the four continents where the lamps were made. Sendak chose his pieces from the museum's collection of more than 1,000 lamps.
"I stayed away from everything elaborate," Sendak said in an interview with The Jewish Museum. "I kept looking for very plain, square ones, very severe looking."
Sendak told the museum that he chose such spare lamps because they were a reminder of the injustices done to Jews during the Holocaust. His own parents were Jews who emigrated to Brooklyn from Poland and he had family members who died during the Holocaust.
Susan Branstein, a Judaica expert who curated the exhibit along with Claudia Nahson, said at first Sendak's selection of lamps was a bit of a surprise.
"We thought he'd go for wild animals because he was the author of 'Where the Wild Things Are,'" Branstein said. "But there's also an emotional quality to Maurice Sendak's work, which was reflected as he looked at the lamps and they brought back many memories not only of his lost relatives but of people who he had known who are no longer here."
Upon further thought, Branstein said the lamps Sendak chose were similar in style to his own ink and pencil drawings. She added that some of the lamps have their own stories of liberation, like one made in 1945 by a Jewish family that was living in a displaced persons camp at the end of World War II.
The lamp is dedicated to General Joseph McNarney, who took over command of European operations after the war, and was celebrated by the lamp's creators as their liberator. The piece, with its traditional copper alloy central shaft and eight candle holders, is the kind of lamp that Branstein sees as an apt representation of the holiday.
"Hannukah is a festival of liberation," Branstein said, "but that was a time of great liberation for all of these Jews, so that's the connection."
A Hannukah lamp is another name for the nine-branched candle holder used during the holiday.
"An Artist Remembers: Hannukah Lamps Selected by Maurice Sendak" will be on view at the Jewish Museum through Jan. 29.

text: Books 21 February 2011 Reviews Round-up The critics' verdicts on Annie Proulx, an anti-internet polemic and the tale of Lucie Blackman. Sign up for our weekly email * Print HTML Bird Cloud: A Memoir by Annie Proulx Writing in the Observer, Geoff Dyer is disappointed with "the story of how a great and ageing American writer came across a 640-acre spread of land in Wyoming, bought it and set about designing and building (more accurately, having people build) her ideal house on it." Despite some evidence of Proulx's "observational prowess and gift for verbally harnessing the elements", Dyer discovers that the writing falters without the "human and narrative purchase" that characterizes her best fiction. Consequently, Dyer "had soon had enough of it" and is left feeling that this book "begins suspiciously to resemble a way of covering the spiralling costs" of building a bespoke house. "The absence of an over-arching narrative structure is the book's weakness," concludes Susan Elderkin in the Financial Times. Depicting landscape, Proulx's writing is "always a treat, the language dense and nutty in the way of a fruitcake". But without a fictional framework, Proulx's "baggy" memoir leaves "the mystery of how the writer begat the writing pretty much intact". "Bird Cloud" will be reviewed in the next issue of the New Statesman. You Are Not A Gadget by Jaron Lanier In the Observer, Jessica Holland assesses Lanier's argument that "the web - with its anonymously written wikis and multiple-choice expressions of personality on Facebook - is eating away at our very souls." As "an original member of the Silicon Valley set", Lanier is "clearly very well-informed about IT", but his "social and spiritual" assertions "can't help but rely more on intuition." Ultimately, "it's tempting to dismiss it as the anxiety of an ageing innovator" who claims modern America is "dividing itself between a minuscule number of 'computing cloud overlords'" and "a vast majority of 'digital serfs'". The Independent's Brandon Robshaw also remains sceptical about Jaron Lanier's cyber-age manifesto. Though he finds a certain appeal in the argument that the internet is turning people into "empowered trolls", whose "mob-like mentality" is deadening "individual creativity" and luring the masses into "easy, unthinking grooves", the book is ultimately "too abstract and too techy to make a good book-length read" and would probably be "better as a blog." People Who Eat Darkness: the Fate of Lucie Blackman by Richard Lloyd Parry This is a "horrible tale, meticulously told" according to Brenda Maddox in the Times. Lucie Blackman, a 21-year-old from Sevenoaks, was working as a bar hostess in Tokyo when she disappeared in July 2000. Her dismembered remains were found in a cave six months later. Parry, who was the Independent's Tokyo correspondent at the time, insists that "those who think that any woman who works as a "hostess" is a prostitute are wrong". Instead, they "offer drinks, charm and conversation" and are urged to go on dinner dates with besotted customers. To go home with a client was "Lucie Blackman's fatal mistake". Parry illuminates the differences between British and Japanese legal systems and reassuringly asserts that in Tokyo "a lone woman remains safer even at two in the morning than in any other world city". Writing in the Guardian, Blake Morrison is gripped by "a compelling book, 10 years in the making, rich in intelligence and insight". Despite the harrowing nature of the subject matter, it is "heartening" that Parry refuses to engage in "hysteria or demonisation". Instead he is an "open-minded and sympathetic narrator" whose book "sheds light on Japan, on families, on the media, and (in ways that bring back memories of the Yorkshire Ripper case) on the insidious effects of misogyny". › NUS president will not seek re-election Subscribe from just £1 per issue More Related articles Harry Potter didn't cure my depression – but for an hour a day, it helped The Evolution of Beauty reveals the true power of sexual attraction Harry Potter Week Subscription offer 12 issues for £12 + FREE book LEARN MORE Close This week's magazine

Students in rural Victoria make up 30 per cent of the student
population. In rural Victoria levels of disadvantage are higher and
educational aspirations and outcomes are lower than for
metropolitan areas. This creates unique and complex challenges for
government agencies.
This audit assessed the effectiveness of the Department of
Education and Early Childhood Development's (DEECD) activities to
ensure that Victorians in rural and regional areas have access to a
high-quality education and that outcomes for these students are
maximised. The audit found that DEECD has not provided access to
high-quality education for all students.
Rural students perform consistently below their metropolitan
peers on a range of measures. While the gaps in performance are not
always large, they have changed little over time and show no signs
of improving. DEECD undertakes many activities that assist rural
educators and students, but these have not resulted in a
significant improvement in performance. DEECD has not developed a
comprehensive, targeted strategy to address known barriers to rural
students' access and participation in education.
Recent adjustments to government subsidies for vocational
education and training included an increase in loading for
delivering training to rural students, yet it remains unclear how
rural training options will be affected in the future. DEECD is
developing a new rural and regional plan to target the educational
outcome gap between metropolitan and rural students. However, it
has been delayed, and there is no evidence that it will be
sufficiently robust to make a difference.

PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) — A man accused of throwing furniture on the set of a Woody Allen movie in Rhode Island's capital has been arrested and charged with assault.
Providence police said the man tossed a chair and assaulted security guards Tuesday on the set, which is along a river and a busy thoroughfare.
Security guards told WPRI-TV the man went to the set and began asking "weird questions" about the movie's stars, who include Emma Stone, Joaquin Phoenix and Parker Posey. Allen has been filming in Rhode Island since last month.
Police identified the man as Mark Spiridakos. They said he ran from the set and was tackled, and then was taken to a hospital with a head injury.
Spiridakos couldn't be reached for comment in the hospital. It's unclear whether he has a lawyer.

A new Snowden leak reveals that the NSA worked with the Canadian spy agency CSEC to illegally spy on diplomats attending the G20 summit in Toronto in 2010 (an earlier leak revealed that the NSA also spied on the 2009 G20 summit in London).
The leak is significant for many reasons, but especially because it adds to the evidence that the NSA's's bulk surveillance capabilities are an instrument of US trade policy, used to spy on diplomats from friendly countries in order to cheat on trade negotiations, winning tactical advantages through unethical and illegal means. It's the sort of state-sponsored industrial espionage that the US and Canada frequently accuse China of -- takes one to know one, I suppose.
Also noteworthy is the fact that CSEC is not allowed to spy on Canadians, nor on visitors to Canada. It may be that they circumvented the law by assisting the NSA to spy in Canada. Similar allegations have been made about the NSA and the British spy agency GCHQ; they are rumored to have an established process of asking one-another to spy on their own citizens in order to stay in technical compliance with the rules that prohibit domestic spying: "We didn't spy on our own people; we asked these foreign spooks to spy on them and give the information to us. It's totally different." Read the rest

need to fab new companionway hatch
Hi All,
my current three piece 'door' setup that closes off the companionway is on life support. It's made of 1/2" plyboard with a veneer cover (maybe teak) and was probably varnished many moons ago by the previous owner. I was at home despot looking at some possible replacements. What do you think of MDF stained and polyurenthaned. Will it hold up for a few seasons?
'75 ODay 27'
Yes, it will. I have made them out of this a couple of times and they hold up well. Although I usually try to keep a boom cover over the companionway during the winter (I'm in seattle too). You might also try a couple of the used boating stores, (Fremont and Shilshole), as a lot times they have a piece or two of teak that you can get pretty cheap.
I would use plywood that had been epoxied and varnished over MDF. It's going to get wet. You could even use hardwood plywood which would look very nice with the epoxy and varnish finish...
I doubt that MDF will hold up outdoors for more than a couple of months. You might get a little more time by encapsulating it in epoxy, but that would add a lot of expense. Additionally, if it slides into a slot like mine does, it could swell and be difficult to remove or do damage. If you need a quick fix to hold you until you can make something more permanent, exterior plywood would be a better choice. The really cheap stuff is called CDX which has a bad side (grade C) and an awful side (grade D) and is rated for eexterior use (the X). Next choice is BCX which has a pretty good side and a not-so-good side. Put the bad side toward the inside and give the whole thing a couple of good coats of paint (maybe teak color) paying special attention to the edges. Painting will slow the affects of the weather. If you want something a little nicer, get ACX plywood.

If you don't purchase from them...at least you may get some good ideas :)
And whatever you do don't go with teak veneer plywood, unless you NEVER plan on sanding it...done that one before trying to save $$$ and it turned out to be a waste of time & money...although it did look good the first year?
Thanks everyone...good ideas. and thanks Guesser....I was at the second hand store in Shilshole yesterday mostly browsing and bought a book. I never thought of asking them about teak pieces. Maybe next time I head over to the boat in Salmon Bay.
MDF is generally a poor choice of materials to use on a boat, or anywhere near water... You can make a set out of marine plywood that has been epoxied to make it waterproof and help prevent it from delaminating.
Another choice might be to go with ABS to make the new drop boards. if you get a smoked or tinted ABS, you'll be able to get some more light inside the boat, and the stuff doesn't really need to be finished in any way.
It depends on the boat... how traditional a vessel she is and how traditional "looking" you want to keep her.
I'll second sailingdog's suggestion. The one thing you do have to watch though is scratching them up. Best if you have some kind of fabric holder with divided pockets to put them in. Also, in making new ones, you can decided how many pieces you want, based on stowing them. So you could have 2 or 4, as well as 3, depending on how big you want the pieces to be.
Do not use MDF! It will only hold up as long as the finish does and it has very little strength and wont hold fasteners very well. If you don't want to use Marine Ply, try using MDO (medium density overlay) It's exterior rated plywood with a smooth paper face, sign makers use it for all types of exterior applications and it's available in most lumber yards.
If you need it smooth on both sides you'll have to make sure you ask for it, otherwise it's smooth one side only.
CDX is also a bad choice as it's a framing lumber ment for sub floors and wall sheathing. It's prone to warping and has lots of voids in the layup. Ac is an interior grade Ply and they make it smooth by plugging voids with "foot balls" no matter how much you paint these will always show through the finish.
Good advice Sabre, the signboard is surprisingly durable and dimensionally stable and will last for years. And lets be clear. MDF has NO place on a boat for any purpose ever!
SD, Is there really such a thing as clear, smoked or tinted ABS? Or did you mean Acrylic, Lexan or Polycarbonate?

Implementing its proprietary ultrathin-silicon-on-sapphire (UTSi) CMOS, also known as UltraCMOS process, Peregrine Semiconductor has developed RF CMOS switches that have achieved higher speed with lower power consumption to give designers a new alternative. Designed to switch GSM handset antennas to the receive or transmit path, the new CMOS RF switches deliver insertion loss, isolation, and switching performance that is competitive to switches based on gallium arsenide (GaAs) process technology.
In addition, the CMOS process lends itself to higher integration. Consequently, the new CMOS RF switches integrate on-chip functions like driver/decoder, RF level shifter, negative voltage generator, and SAW protection circuits. Plus, unlike GaAs, the CMOS switches require a single positive voltage control. This eliminates the blocking capacitors and the diplexer, normally required with GaAs switches, thereby enabling the CMOS-based switch to be directly connected to the antenna of a GSM handset.
According to Peregrine's director of marketing Rodd Novak, UltraCMOS process uses a perfect insulating substrate to overcome RF leakage, isolation and power-handling limitations of standard CMOS to compete with costly pseudomorphic high-electron-mobility transistor (pHEMT) GaAs and other similar complex semiconductor processes.
Using 0.5-micron UltraCMOS process, Peregrine has readied two types of 50-Ohm RF CMOS switches. While PE4263 is a single-pole, six-throw (SP6T) CMOS switch for quad-band GSM handset antenna switch module (ASM), the PE4261 is a single-pole, four-throw (SP4T) version in a flip-chip packaging for dual-band GSM handset antenna switch. According to Peregrine, flip-chip packaging enables handset makers to develop smallest, lowest cost ASMs with potential to achieve a profile of 1.0 µm total height. The use of flip-chip packaging reduces PCB area by a factor of nine when compared to conventional wire bonding, claims Peregrine.
Other features of PE4263 include three-pin CMOS logic control, high power of 41 dBm P1dB, high linearity of 65 dBm IP3 and monolithic integration of key elements. Likewise, the PE4261 offers two-pin CMOS logic control input. Both the new switches offer 1500 V ESD tolerance on all ports and have on-chip SAW overvoltage filter protection. Insertion loss is 0.55 dB at 900 MHz. Transmit-receive isolation is as high as 48 dB at 900 MHz and 40 dB at 1.9 GHz. Furthermore, the switches offer low harmonics (2f0 = -85 dBc, and 3f0 = -72 dBc at 35 dBm input power). The 2.6 V RF switches offer linear operation from 100 Mhz to 3000 MHz with fast switch settling time.
Available in die form (1.24 mm × 1.2 mm), the SP6T PE4263 costs $0.60 each, in 10,000 pieces. Likewise, in similar quantities, the SP4T PE4261 costs $0.52 each.

NPC Fall Hoot 2013
The National Press Club
Saturday, November 2, 2013 from 12:00 PM to 3:00 PM (EDT)
Who's Going
San Francisco, California
London, United Kingdom
Florence, Italy
Event Details
"America really loathes Washington right now, and that's preposterous: Our Town has done nothing wrong. . . . America, you sent these guys here. They represent plenty of you, none of us. That imported brand of cuckoo is what's causing this government shutdown."
Those claw-sharp Owl-like words come from Petula Dvorak, columnist for the Washington Post, who will be our featured guest at the fall Silver Owls Hoot at 12 noon Saturday, Nov. 2. Owls obviously can wipe out cuckoos, so it should be a lively session.
The event will consist of a cash bar, followed by a sit-down lunch featuring the Owls' favorite of roast beef with the trimmings, or a veggie dish if you prefer. As usual, the price will be $35. Once everybody is fed, we will hear from Ms. Dvorak, who has been defending folks from the Washington area against onslaughts in the media.
Before becoming a metro columnist at The Washington Post in 2009, Ms. Dvorak covered crime, justice and the disconcerting backstories of the people, families and communities that show up on police blotters. She did this for a decade at The Post, and before that in New Orleans for The Times-Picayune.
There were also stops at The Trentonian in New Jersey, the Los Angeles Times, The Wichita Eagle, the former Yugoslavia and The Prague Post after graduating from journalism school at the University of Southern California.
She didn't see the nice part of town in any of those places.
Ms. Dvorak is the mother of two little boys and lives with her husband, also a journalist, in Washington D.C.
The Fall Owls Hoot is open to all members of the National Press Club and their guests. For questions about your reservation, please call 202.662.7501.

No a/c
Well my Jeep just stopped blowing out cold air. I push the a/c button and it comes out hot.
What is the checklist I should do first before taking to mechanic?
The clutch turns on when I hit the a/c switch.
The areas of vents blowing moves around with the knob.
What could this be?
Re: No a/c
look for posts for the WK talking about some kind of blower resistor. it lives behind the glove compartment. this MIGHT be the issue.
Re: No a/c
I will check....But it does blow air......hot air. I can also hear the doors moving inside I think, when I go from hot to cold and move around areas to vent air.
Re: No a/c
ok i think the resistor was more for only blowing like full last and NO low speeds at all.
i dont think its a fuse as it sounds like electrically everything is working.
the little orange light is staying lit after you hit the AC button I assume?
i might start to think freon. if everything comes on, fans blow, etc, yet still warm then perhaps there isnt any freon in the sytem?
Re: No a/c
Orange light stays on.
After reading and searching could this be a bad tempeture knob? I will try to tap or wiggle later today.
It just stopped working one day.
Re: No a/c
Sounds like a leak to me, mine did the same thing.
Re: No a/c
Leak where?
What did you replace?
Re: No a/c
I had a pin hole in my filter drier which wasn't covered by warranty. You could have a leak any where if thats what it is. Just sounds like the same sorta situation.
Re: No a/c
The knob that moves around the vents from top to bottom etc, is working. I took off the glove door and can see the sproket wheel move around and redirect air.
The fan speed knob works also since it goes from slow to fast.
The a/c button turns on and off also.
It might be the tempeture knob though. I cant tell if it does anything. I tapped it and nothing still hot air.
Any more ideas?
Re: No a/c
You might have to get the system recharged... or you could take out the AC system and convert it to OBA... but that's not recommended :D
Re: No a/c
See if it needs to be recharged
Re: No a/c
What is oba?
