Smitfraud / Generic Zlob
In the past couple of weeks I've ran into two different Smitfraud malware infections. It is a pain to remove, and has a tendency to show back up. In one instance, it kept manifesting itself with a red desktop background featuring a biohazard symbol and the text "Privacy in Danger". Traditional spyware removal tools seemed pretty ineffective against this particular problem, but I've located the following tools that seem to be of some assistance:
When I ran these four tools in succession from Safe Mode on the systems in question, they cleared the malware problems up right away without necessitating a reinstall. I hope Smitfraud isn't the future of malware, because it isn't easy to get rid of.

It's almost time for school children up and down the land to skip merrily or trudge wearily back to the classroom so it's the season for shiny new pencil cases, holiday tale one upmanship and, of course, new snacks to keep young minds going until the important businesses of jumpers for goalposts at lunchtime. Walkers sent me three multipacks of their new Mighty Lights to try and, as Dylan and Xander aren't in full-time education yet, I've taken it upon myself to recreate my secondary school years in order to establish an as-authentic-as-possible environment to put them to the test in. Selfless, I know.
I've achieved this by rebelliously wearing trainers instead of smart shoes to work, refusing to tuck in my shirt and sporting the same hairstyle – or complete lack thereof – from 20 odd years ago. Yep, I haven't had to change a thing. I've also started to pretend to be Gary Lineker – a happy coincidence that he's a Walkers man – by goal hanging at five-a-side as I once did in the playground, referring to anything uncool as 'Sad' and acting like I hate girls even though I secretly think they're alright.
I've even taken to listening to music and playing computer games from that era when I get half a chance as well as looking for shell suits, Global Hypercolour T-shirts and cans of Lynx Oriental on eBay. I like to think that, had there been another series featuring the inimitable Gene Hunt and co, I could be the other main protagonist, such is the realistic nature of the early 1990s 'world' I have thrown myself into with great gusto. All this for a review. If that's not commitment, I don't know what is.
But enough of this daft whimsy; I have homework to do here. Mighty Lights, as their name suggests, are big in flavour and lower in fat – there's 30% less, in fact – which can't be bad. They come in the three flavours you see here: lightly salted, cheese & onion and roast chicken. They're all tasty and it's good to know that they're better for me – especially as I work in the charity sector which, with an endless supply of cakes and biscuits thanks to gregarious colleagues, is the most calorific one of them all. They're also suitable for vegetarians and don't contain artificial colours, preservatives or MSG so they should provide an all-round healthy option for those who lovingly pack the lunchboxes of their offspring each morning.
Coming back out of my cosy, pre-responsibility 1990s world and also in the spirit of fairness, I've let Dylan and Xander try all the flavours too and they loved them. So much so, that Xander has added the word 'crisps' to his burgeoning vocabulary. Who'd have thought that lunchtime snacks could be so educational, eh? But given the whole back-to-school theme of these new crisps and that of this here review, maybe I shouldn't be so surprised.
We all recommend them. You should be able to find Walkers Mighty Lights at your local supermarket.

Broadway Prepares for 'Super Bowl Boulevard'
The Super Bowl is being played in New Jersey, but New York City hosting the pre-game festivities known as the NFL Experience. And starting this Wednesday, 13 blocks of Broadway will be converted into Super Bowl Boulevard—but not everyone is cheering.
The city is expecting thousands of tourists to descend on Broadway between 34th and 47th Streets. Citi Bikes and planters have been temporarily relocated in favor of other amenities—like a 180-foot toboggan run, a 20-foot tall sculpture spelling out '48' in Roman numerals, and the Vince Lombardi Trophy. The city's official marketing organization has gone into high gear.

But on 39th Street, there are some naysayers. Eddie Ruby has been serving coffee, pastries,and his special baked potatoes for 18 years. Ruby said he's excited to see increased security on the street, and the NYPD has installed an additional 200 cameras in preparation for the week's events. But he's worried he'll have a hard time hauling his cart in and out.
"This area will be shut down a week! I understand one day, I understand two days, but not a week," he said, when he learned of the events. While the activities are taking place over four days next week, set up began Thursday.
Several midtown workers expressed frustration that an already congested block will be filled with thousands of tourists during the week. "We'll have chaos in here. I don't like that idea," said Ada, who declined to give her last name.

But city and state officials are pumped. New York is hoping to rake in some of the $600 million boost to the local economy, a figure promised by organizers. But as WNYC has reported, that number, which is often cited by the New York/New Jersey host committee, hasn't been explained or broken down.
Across the Hudson, in East Rutherford, where the game is actually being played, Mayor James Cassella said he knew New York City would be a big draw for Super Bowl fans, but he didn't anticipate how little hype his state would receive in the lead up to the games.
"I expected East Rutherford not to be mentioned much, if at all," he told WNYC by phone. "But I didn't expect New Jersey to take a total back seat. They're not even in the car with this."
Mayor Cassella said there aren't even any Super Bowl banners in his town.
Garden State officials are also worried that the costs of additional state troopers and security won't be recouped in taxes from hotel and merchandise sales, especially if everyone's partying—and spending—in Manhattan.

There are no customer reviews yet. Be the first to write a review!
Fyodor Dostoyevsky's final novel, considered to be the culmination of his life's work, "The Brothers Karamazov" is the story of the murder of Father Karamazov, whose four sons are all to some degree complicit in the crime. Within the context of this crime story evolves a brilliant philosophical debate of religion, reason, liberty, and the nature of guilt in society. Considered by Sigmund Freud as "The most magnificent novel ever written", the excellent translation of Constance Garnett is presented here in this edition of "The Brothers Karamazov".

UPDATE 12:15 EST from Politico:
"This mission is greater than any one man," Perry said at a South Carolina press conference announcing the decision. Perry immediately endorsed Newt Gingrich, calling him "a conservative visionary who can transform our country."
While one Rick is winning this morning, another Rick is out. Texas Governor Rick Perry will announce this morning at 11 AM EST that he will no longer run for the Republican presidential campaign and will endorse Newt Gingrich. As reported by USA TODAY:
Texas Gov. Rick Perry will end his campaign for the GOP nomination, USA TODAY has confirmed.
AP is reporting that Perry will endorse Newt Gingrich at an 11 a.m. ET news conference.
The Texas governor has been lagging in national and South Carolina polls, and has been battling with Gingrich and Rick Santorum for votes among social conservatives and evangelical voters.
A source with direct knowledge of Perry's decision to end his presidential campaign confirmed that news to USA TODAY. The source declined to be identified ahead of Perry's news conference.
Perry entered the race in August and was seen as the immediate front-runner, garnering 35% support in polls. His campaign will likely go down as one of the least successful in modern American politics, as he failed to craft a clear conservative message. Many of his gaffes became YouTube sensations and this page added its fair coverage of Perry, especially the following ones:

Known for saying, "What you stand for is more important than what you stand in," Cole simultaneously addresses our collective consciousness—and ensures we are well dressed. Cole is funny, smart and dashing. He is driven by a deep sense of social responsibility. A pioneer of social marketing since the beginning of the AIDS epidemic, and the chairman of the board of the Foundation for AIDS Research (amfAR), which funds, among other endeavors, the hunt for the cure, he has done a lot of good while doing well.
He has used the messaging of his marketing to encourage the world to face and think about issues that make many people uncomfortable. In doing so, he frequently challenges the status quo. A consummate stirrer-of-the-pot, he believes that respectful controversy is necessary for positive social change. On the occasion of the 25th anniversary of his empire, we caught up with Cole in NYC and talked with him about being a successful capitalist while caring deeply about important causes such as fighting the global AIDS pandemic.
When did you know you wanted to be a designer?
I didn't really want to be a designer. Initially, I was going to be a lawyer. That stemmed from my sense of social appropriateness. I always wanted to have a hand in what happened in the world. My father had a shoe factory, and I spent a summer working there. I watched how shoes were made, and I was fascinated by how, with a slight variation to the material or shape of the heel, you could totally change the look of the finished product. So I started designing and bringing products to market.
What led you to create your groundbreaking, socially conscious marketing campaigns?
Over time, what I was doing didn't feel meaningful enough. 1985 was a time of pervasive consciousness; people were looking to be part of something bigger. There were these initiatives called Live Aid, Hands Across America and We Are the World. Our nation was inspired. I thought it was a time when I should use my marketing dollars and creative resources to elevate my relationship with the customer. And the issue at the time, that clearly needed to be discussed but that not enough people were talking about, was AIDS.
Did you know your customers had a penchant for social responsibility? Or did you worry that your edgy ad campaigns might alienate your customers?
I have always believed that our customers are unique in that they have a very open mind and are progressive, not just in terms of their clothing or lifestyle choices, but also their perspective on others. They are not [too] judgmental. To the degree they would judge me adversely for taking a position I might take, I don't think it would result in them changing their fashion preferences. I didn't feel that there was a lot of risk there.
Why did you make such controversial campaigns?
My messages are intended to provoke. They are a way of saying, "It's not just important what's on your body but also what's on your mind." They enable us to have a more substantive relationship with our customers. That's what's nice about being in the private sector; you can say what you want. I have sought opportunities that other people might not have thought were appropriate. But you have to be reasonably responsible in how you communicate.
Which is your favorite of your HIV/AIDS campaigns?
I have a favorite line I ran, and a favorite line I didn't. My favorite was [our original] condom ad. When I first got involved with AIDS, and the Foundation for AIDS Research (amfAR), the focus was on safe sex and preventing AIDS. One of the first things amfAR did was initiate a needle exchange program in New York, which was very progressive and controversial at the time because people thought handing out clean needles promoted drug use. And, it was illegal to advertise condoms. So we took a photograph of a condom and airbrushed off all the words. The message underneath the image said: "Our shoes aren't the only thing we encourage you to wear." There was the chance that people might not know what the product was, that they might confuse it with a graduation hat.
Years later, when we were doing a campaign for amfAR, we tried to address AIDS stigma, which was (and is) pervasive. The message we wanted to share was that we're all at risk, [that HIV doesn't only affect] people who live a "questionably appropriate" lifestyle. The idea of the campaign was to ask: What if certain people in your life who you thought were safe were HIV positive? There were several ads. One said, "If your kids had AIDS" in big bold letters, and then, in small letters, "you'd have more to worry about than clean socks." Another said: "If the president had AIDS, he'd have more to worry about than your vote." And then we had one that said: "If the pope had AIDS, he'd need more than your prayers." The people at amfAR said, "You're nuts, you can't run that ad." So, in my reasonable manner, I agreed I wouldn't. But we had a press conference at our annual event at the U.N. on World AIDS Day. And at that press conference, I showed the press the new ad campaign that we were going to be running. And then I said, "And this is the ad we're not going to be running." And I showed them the pope ad. Needless to say, the pope ad appeared all over the tabloids.
Have you always questioned authority?
Yes, but usually in a positive way. I'm typically not rebellious for rebellion's sake. I question the traditional path of how to get somewhere. It's what I do every day while designing fashion. It's about figuring out how to give [my customers] what they want, but maybe not how they expect it.
Have you been able to track the impact of your campaigns?
I judge the effectiveness of our work by the amount of "tough mail" that we get. If you're going to create a positive emotional connection with some people then invariably you'll make a negative one with others. For an issue to be insightful, it means there are people on both sides of that issue. When we get negative mail, it usually means that there were even more people who appreciated that we were willing and had the courage to talk about the issue we raised.
Do you write the ads?
Many of them, but I'm involved in all of them. They all reflect my personal point of view. Even the really light ones are really important in their timeliness. I was flying out to Utah last January, and when I got off the plane, I heard about the plane that flew right over our building and landed in the Hudson [River]. I communicated a message that night and got [it] posted on our billboard several days later probably a hundred yards from where that plane went down. It said: "In tough times, some people land on their feet, others on the Hudson."
The [presidential] election is a really emotional time, and I knew this [past] one would be more so. We all did. I knew that if the Democratic party won, it would have such a profound impact on this country and the world. The notion that anyone can be president is a big, big change and an inspiring one. I very much wanted to communicate what people were feeling at the moment of transformation. So we created awn ad that said, "Finally, a president we can be proud of. Congratulations, Barack Obama." And people said, "You have to have an alternative." So we created a backup that said, "Out with the old, in with the older." It's still sitting in a warehouse in New Jersey. When we put the Barack Obama billboard up, people said, "Isn't that political? Is that really appropriate for a company like yours?" And my answer was: If that ad ran on Tuesday, it would have been inappropriate because it would have been a political message. On Wednesday, it was a social message; he became everyone's president on Wednesday. Timing is everything. A day earlier it would have been wrong; a week later it would have gone unnoticed.
Many of your ads are playful. Where do you get your sense of humor?
When you look at all of the injustice and all of the crises going on around us every day and you look at the impact and the perspective and context that all of the tabloids, even the mainstream media, share with us, it's very hard to even get into the day in the first place, let alone through it, without some sense of humor.
Talk to me about AIDS stigma…is it better or worse than at the start of the epidemic?
We ran one campaign for amfAR in 2005 that gathered iconic people from around the world in a single photograph. The message was that if anyone has AIDS, we all have it, that if it exists anywhere, it exists everywhere. The concept was to have all these people stand together united in one message. Because typically the AIDS community is not united. There are lots of different messages, and there are walls up between [groups in the AIDS community]. One of the struggles [in our efforts to fight domestic AIDS] is that the community is tripping over each other and competing with each other. In the mid-'80s when I got involved, I think there were 18 AIDS organizations in America. Today, there are more than 1,800. The amfAR campaign was made to address the fact that we needed a singular effort. The idea was that the individuals who participated in the campaign would appear in public wearing a T-shirt that said, "I have AIDS" 48 hours prior to the launch of the campaign on World AIDS Day. So all around the world, these famous people would appear wearing that T-shirt. And, if they were questioned, they'd say, "I'll get back to you on World AIDS Day," and the answer would be our campaign. But nobody wanted to go first. Nobody wanted to wear that T-shirt and be photographed and give the tabloids that feeding frenzy. Later, I talked to a reporter who asked me whether I would have done it. At first I said, "Sure I would." But then I said, "You know, maybe I wouldn't. I have a family, and why should I impose my belief system on them and make them have to defend and deal with it?" So how could I complain that even some of the most visible and articulate spokespeople for this crisis would not wear that T-shirt? Clearly, stigma is not much better than it ever was.
How do we fight it?
We need to put more faces to the disease. The first campaign I did [for amfAR] was in 1985. Annie Leibovitz photographed it. Then, AIDS was essentially associated with gay men, drug users and Haitians—who were identifiably less than healthy looking. We did our campaign with beautiful women and children. Nobody hates children. The message was: "For the future of our children, support AIDS research." That worked at that time to help destigmatize the disease. Today, we need to see more names and faces of people living with the disease whom we are comfortable with. We have to get more people out front.
If you could change one thing about AIDS in America today, what would it be?
That we would be accepting of people with this virus and focused on getting the funding and devoting the resources we need to find the cure. The cure for AIDS will only come from research, and that's what amfAR does. AmfAR is really focused on a cure right now. The cure for AIDS is not something that many people talk about because they feel it is an unrealistic expectation. But we don't think it is an unrealizable goal. That's why I am at amfAR.
What drives your commitment to social responsibility?
I wrote a book recently called Awearness that tells the stories of six individuals who are what we call "change agents." They use their ordinary and extraordinary resources to create an ordinary and extraordinary impact on people's lives. The one common thread between all these people was that they felt they were the biggest beneficiaries of their activism. When you've had the privilege to get involved in things that truly affect people's lives, you realize that you're the biggest beneficiary.
I do what I do because I just like doing it. I get a great sense of fulfillment. You don't get a lot of chances in our lifetime to make a difference, so when those chances come, we're supposed to take them. Our purpose is to seize the moment when we can.
Some of us have the focus and the resources to act upon it, others less so. People used to always ask me, "Is it really appropriate for you, as the head of a public company, to be out there talking about social issues?" I not only think it's appropriate, I think it's my responsibility. All companies will invariably get there. Either their hearts will get them there or their balance sheets will get them there, but they'll realize that it's appropriate and necessary.
Who inspires you?
People who have the courage to honor their belief system and who take chances.
Whom have you met who really impressed you?
I had the privilege of meeting Nelson Mandela on two different occasions. It was inspiring, to say the least, and not just because of who he is and what he's done but because of what he represents. That he came out of 27 years in prison with no sense of bitterness, totally focused on trying to make the world a better place was so uplifting and inspiring to me.
What do you consider your greatest success?
My greatest pride is my three wonderful daughters and wife, who all have an extraordinary sense of social justice and social appropriateness. My wife is absolutely committed to her efforts on behalf of homelessness and making a significant difference in people's lives. [As I've learned from her,] you can give a person a home, but you must also address the underlying social issues that made someone homeless in the first place if you want to get them truly back on their feet.

New trustee appointed to MCC Board
SIDNEY — A new trustee has been appointed to the Montcalm Community College (MCC) Board of Trustees.
During Tuesday's meeting, it was recommended trustees to appoint Joyce Kitchenmaster of Stanton to the fill a vacant position on the board.
"(The board) seems like a nice group and I hope I can add something," Kitchenmaster said during the meeting.
The position became vacant in November after secretary Jean Brundage of Crystal died.
Vice Chairman Bob Marston said there were four outstanding candidates to fill Brundage's spot.
"I appreciate Carol (Deuling-Ravell) and Pat (Hinrichs), who were on the committee," Marston said. "We have very outstanding candidates."
Chairwoman Karen Carbonelli said it's great news to hear about the candidates.
"I'm very excited to see that kind of interest," Carbonelli said.
According to Terry Smith, MCC director of institutional advancement, Kitchenmaster will have to run in 2014 — the next election— to keep her seat. She will then have to run again in 2016 when the term is up.
"'I had interest (in being on the board) a few years ago," Kitchenmaster said. "But, I didn't want to run against anyone on the board."

Memo #191
By Robert Aspinall – aspinall [at] biwako.shiga-u.ac.jp
Japan's prime minister, Shinzo Abe oversaw the revision of the 1947 Fundamental Law of Education to emphasise traditional "Japanese values" in 2006. As one direct result of this, traditional martial arts became compulsory in junior high schools in April 2012. Unlike the initial opposition to the new law, opposition to this particular aspect has not been led by teachers' unions and their political allies, but by parents concerned about the health and safety of their children.
In most cases Judo is chosen as the martial art. Many parents are concerned about the very poor safety record of school judo. Between 1983 and 2011, there were 114 recorded deaths and 275 very serious injuries of children in secondary school judo class or club activities. Although some parents of victims have pushed for prosecutions where they believe criminal negligence or other wrong-doing has occurred, public prosecutors have so far refused to act.
With a huge increase in the number of participants since April, it can be assumed that the number of deaths and injuries in Japanese schools will increase. To address great concern over this matter, parents and activists have set up the Japan Judo Accident Victims Association to reduce death and injury in school judo classes.
The discourse over the safety of school judo exemplifies an ongoing conflict between traditional values and liberal values in education. Traditional values stress discipline, obedience to authority, and conformity to the ethos of the group. Liberal pressure groups campaign for children's rights, more choice, diversity, and respect for the individual in schools.
The picture is made more complicated by the fact that another strand of conservatism is campaigning for the school system to be reformed in order to nurture the entrepreneurs and innovators they believe the stagnant economy requires – reforms that also require more flexibility and choice. Shinzo Abe's own party – the Liberal Democratic Party – contains politicians of both conservative tendencies. This includes those who want more discipline and obedience, versus the neo-liberals who want more initiative and creative thinking. Only time will tell if the differences between these two groups can be resolved in actual education policy, including policy related to physical education.
Dr. Robert Aspinall is a Professor at Shiga University, Faculty of Economics, Japan and author of the recently published International Education Policy in Japan in an Age of Globalisation and Risk.

Extra calories, low protein are culprits in weight gain
The bathroom scales can fool you, a new study shows.
If you eat too many calories, you will gain about the same amount of body fat no matter how many of those calories are protein.
But you may gain less weight on the scales by overeating on a low-protein diet than on a normal-protein or high-protein diet.
The reason: You lose lean body mass (muscle and organ tissue) on a low-protein diet and you gain lean body mass on a normal or high-protein diet, the research shows.
"You may gain less weight by overeating on a low-protein diet, but it's because you lose lean body mass, not because you store less fat," says George Bray, lead author of the study and an obesity researcher at Pennington Biomedical Research Center in Baton Rouge.
He and colleagues had 25 healthy adults, ages 18 to 35, live in an inpatient setting for three months. Based on their caloric needs, participants were overfed by 950 calories a day for eight weeks.
They were given those extra calories as either a low-protein diet (5% of calories from protein, about 1.6 ounces of protein a day); normal-protein diet (15% of calories from protein, 5 ounces a day) or a high-protein diet (26% of calories, 8 ounces a day).
The carbohydrates stayed the same at 41% of calories. The percentage of fat varied depending on the protein. Protein-rich foods include lean meat, fish, chicken, low-fat milk, eggs and beans, Bray says. Participants were monitored and ate everything they were served.
Among the findings after eight weeks, reported in Wednesday's Journal of the American Medical Association: Participants in all three groups gained about the same amount of body fat, 7.7 pounds. This is measured with a special instrument.
But what showed up on the bathroom scales was different. Those on the low-protein diet gained about 7 pounds compared with 13 pounds for those on a normal-protein diet and 14 pounds for those on a high-protein diet.
The reason: Lean body mass decreased by 1½ pounds in the low-protein diet group, compared with a gain of about 6 pounds of lean body mass in the normal-protein diet group and 7 pounds in the high-protein diet group.
Protein contributed to the changes in lean body mass, and "the bathroom scale doesn't tell you what the composition of your body is," Bray says.
So what should a person do? "My take-away message from this study is that we need to eat enough good lean protein to help maintain our lean mass," says Barbara Rolls, a nutrition professor at the Pennsylvania State University.
She advises people to keep their protein intake at the recommended level, whether they are trying to lose weight or keep weight off.
The Institute of Medicine recommends a diet containing a range of 10% to 35% of calories from protein.
The government's choosemyplate.gov recommends 5.5 ounces of protein foods a day for those on a 2,000 calorie diet, says Dawn Jackson Blatner, a registered dietitian in Chicago and nutrition blogger at yourlife.usatoday.com.

* Prices may differ from that shown
I was bought this keyboard for Christmas and assured it is Microsoft's newest and best keyboard and I have seen nothing to make me doubt that.
The keyboard is black and shiny with mat keys and white underneath, it is smaller than most keyboards I have experienced before and far less bulky. As you may have guessed from the name it is in an arc shape and I think it is quite feminine and stylish.
The wireless receiver is very small, I think the smallest I have come across and about half the size on the one for my wireless mouse. This is a little worrying as it would be easy to lose, but there is a magnetic cove in the back of the keyboard you can put it in if travelling and the rest of the time it is in the USB slot on the computer.
The reception is very good and I'm told would still work from the bottom of the garden, I haven't had any need to try that but it works everywhere in my room.
No software was needed, as soon as the receiver was plugged into the computer it was ready to go.
It comes with a protective case for transporting the keyboard, I find this comes in handy if I wish to use it with my laptop. (The laptop keyboard isn't as good)
The keyboard uses two AAA batteries which last for ages, I tend to forget to turn the keyboard power off but it uses very little power anyway so it isn't a problem.
Fantastic looking and fantastic working I would recommend to everyone, I love it!

The Dead Celebrity Cookbook
I've been on a bit of a "Crossover cookbook" kick lately, exploring titles like Literary Feasts: Recipes from the Classics of Literature and I Like Food, Food Tastes Good: In the Kitchen With Your Favorite Bands and even The Unofficial Hunger Games Cookbook.
I guess I like the story aspect of tying music, bands or books I know and love into things I cook and bake. You can really taste the extra creativity!
I came across this one today, and of course, am intrigued:
The Dead Celebrity Cookbook by Frank DeCaro.
From the book summary:
"The Dead Celebrity Cookbook: A Resurrection of Recipes by 150 Stars of Stage and Screen, Frank DeCaro—the flamboyantly funny Sirius XM radio personality best known for his six-and-a-half-year stint as the movie critic on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart—collects hundreds of recipes passed on from legendary stars of stage and screen, proving that before there were celebrity chefs, there were celebrities who fancied themselves chefs.
Their all-but-forgotten recipes—rescued from out-of-print cookbooks, musty biographies, vintage magazines, and dusty pamphlets—suggest a style of home entertaining ripe for reexamination if not revival, while reminding intrepid gourmands that, for better or worse, Hollywood doesn't make celebrities (or cooks) like it used to.
Elizabeth Taylor's Chicken with Avocado and Mushrooms
Farrah Fawcett's Sausage and Peppers
Liberace's Sticky Buns
Bette Davis's Red Flannel Hash
Bea Arthur's Good Morning Mushroom Tomato Toast
Dudley Moore's Crème Brûlée
Gypsy Rose Lee's Portuguese Fish Chowder
John Ritter's Famous Fudge
Andy Warhol's Ghoulish Goulash

Totie Fields's Fruit Mellow
Irene Ryan's Tipsy Basingstoke
Klaus Nomi's Key Lime Tart
Richard Deacon's Bitter and Booze
Sonny Bono's Spaghetti with Fresh Tomato Sauce
And many others from breakfast to dessert."
Personally, I can only imagine John Ritter's fudge would be overly sugary, because he seemed like the sweetest man EVER. But some of these sound great. Good Morning Mushroom Tomato Toast?! don't mind if I do, Bea Arthur.

India Calling: An Intimate Portrait of a Nation's Remaking
India Calling: An Intimate Portrait of a Nation's Remaking
Anand Giridharadas, Journalist; Author, India Calling; Columnist, The New York Times
New York Times columnist and American-born author Giridharadas reversed his parents' immigrant path and moved to India in 2003 to discover an old country making itself anew. Though India was in the midst of an economic boom, Giridharadas was interested less in its gold rush than in its cultural upheaval as a new generation sought to reconcile old traditions and customs with new ambitions and dreams. Giridharadas brings to life the people and the dilemmas of India today, through the prism of his émigré family history and his childhood memories of India. He shows how families are reinventing relationships, bending the meaning of Indianness, and enduring the pangs of the old birthing the new. The result is his first book, an intimate portrait of a country becoming modern while striving to remain itself. Join us for his fascinating perspective on the rise of modern India.

Preference among four Bactrocera species (Diptera: Tephritidae) by Diachasmimorpha kraussii (Fullaway) (Hymenoptera: Braconidae)
Ero, Mark Marakus, Hamacek, Edward L., Peek, Thelma, & Clarke, Anthony R. (2010) Preference among four Bactrocera species (Diptera: Tephritidae) by Diachasmimorpha kraussii (Fullaway) (Hymenoptera: Braconidae). Australian Journal Of Entomology, 49(4), pp. 324-331.
Diachasmimorpha kraussii is an endoparasitoid of larval dacine fruit flies. To date the only host preference study done on D. kraussii has used fruit flies from outside its native range (Australia, Papua New Guinea, Solomon Islands). In contrast, this paper investigates host preference for four fly species (Bactrocera cacuminata, B. cucumis, B. jarvisi and B. tryoni) which occur sympatrically with the wasp in the Australian component of the native range. Diachasmimorpha kraussii oviposition preference, host suitability (parasitism rate, number of progeny, sex ratio), and offspring performance measures (body length, hind tibial length, developmental time) were investigated with respect to the four fly species in the laboratory in both no-choice and choice situations. The parasitoid accepted all four fruit fly species for oviposition in both no-choice and choice tests; however, adult wasps only emerged from B. jarvisi and B. tryoni. Through dissection, it was demonstrated that parasitoid eggs were encapsulated in both B. cacuminata and B. cucumis. Between the two suitable hosts, measurements of oviposition preference, host suitability and offspring performance measurements either did not vary significantly, or varied in an inconsistent manner. Based on our results, and a related study by other authors, we conclude that D. krausii, at the point of oviposition, cannot discriminate between physiologically suitable and unsuitable hosts.

Cowgirl junior varsity on four game win streak, 8-3 on season
The Custer County District High School JV Cowgirl basketball team has enjoyed tremendous success this season, sitting at 8-3 on the year.
The Cowgirl JV opened the season with a 60-40 win at Hardin and then beat Sidney 65-28.
In Hardin, the Cowgirls opened the game on a 14-4 run, but led just 22-20 at halftime. They then outscored the Lady Bulldogs 38-20 in the second half to pull away with the win. Hadleigh Miller had 16 points and Jaylen Henderson scored 12 to lead the Cowgirls.

The Cowgirls bounced back to hold off Billings Central 35-34. The game was even throughout, with the teams tied at six after the first quarter. The Cowgirls trailed 13-10 at halftime, but outscored the Lady Rams 11-8 in the third to go into the fourth tied at 21. In the fourth quarter, the Cowgirls edged the Lady Rams 14-13 to get the win.
Warren led a balanced offense with eight points and Abbie Larson added seven.
The Cowgirls then went on the road and blew out Dickinson 65-32. They led 24-16 after the first half and then rolled in the second half, outscoring the Lady Midgets 41-16. Tori Ogolin had a huge night with 29 points. Regan and Warren each added 10 points.

The Cowgirls bounced back to win their next four games, starting with a 60-16 thrashing of St. Labre. The Cowgirls held the Lady Braves scoreless in the first quarter, jumping out to a 16-0 lead and cruising from there. Warren led the team with 11 opints, Ogolin had 10, Henderson scored nine and Bailey Rodenbaugh added eight.

On Saturday night, the Cowgirls went to Sidney and won 41-29. After the teams each scored 11 points in the first quarter, the Cowgirls outscored the Lady Eagles 21-10 in the middle quarters to take control of the game. Ogolin had a good night with 14 points to lead the Cowgirls.

PS. Rumor has it that Shelby went to AC telling them he had Fords support to build this V8 sports car with their motor (which he didn't) and went to Ford and told them of the plans saying that he had AC's support (which he didn't) and that the whole thing was a scam!
MARTINSR is right about the 260 being the first engine! I keep forgetting that the 289 was not the first small block ford. I also keep forgetting about the chevy 265. He is also right about Carrol Shelby playing both ends against the middle. I heard it straight from his mouth about fifteen years ago on a television interview. But sometimes if you have a great idea and you can't get anyone to listen, you have to bullskate a little. It's called being a salesman and a deal maker. Just think what would have happened if it didn't work. It had to have been a lot of pressure on Carrol because what he wanted was a factory produced car that could compete against the Corvette in production class racing. He could have bought say twenty of them and converted them but then they would not have been factory production. I almost think that something similar was planed for the Mazda Miata. If you have ever worked on one of these little cars and seen how stiff the chassis is and the excellent four wheel unequal length A-arm suspension and if you have also seen how easy it is to install a 302/5.0 in one of them, then I think you would agree with me.
Thanks guys! I'll plan on having a question up in the morning.

In 1969, the Oregon House of Representatives failed to pass Bill 1157 – the original Bottle Bill. Grocery store owners and beverage producers foresaw nightmares – how would the bottles be collected, who would pay for the collection, would customers rebel against deposit fees and stop buying beer and soda –and used their influence to quash the legislation.
Two years later, with the added muscle of Governor Tom McCall's support, House Bill 1036 passed. Grocery outlets didn't close, Oregonians didn't stop buying pop and beer… and within a few years, the state of Oregon reported that beverage container litter had been reduced by more than 80 percent.
For hoteliers and others in Oregon's hospitality industry, sustainable travel is the Bottle Bill of the 2010s. It promises – albeit, in less tangible ways than fewer cans along the highway – a more environmentally sound Oregon. The embrace of sustainable practices also poses a potential competitive advantage for Oregon properties. Yet, like the Bottle Bill, it will require key players – from the front office to the housekeeping station – to change the way they perform some day-to-day tasks. And it will require some investment of time and money.
Will it be worthwhile? Travel Oregon (aka, the Oregon Tourism Commission) is banking on it.
Travel Oregon Forever
This April, Travel Oregon launched its new sustainability initiative, "Travel Oregon Forever." The goal of the initiative is four-fold: to provide tools to help tourism-oriented businesses and organizations to implement sustainable practices; to encourage Oregon hospitality businesses to embrace more sustainable practices by showcasing active participants with additional promotional coverage; to underscore Oregon's commitment to sustainability to potential visitors around the world as part of the Travel Oregon brand; and, to build a better Oregon through a broader adoption of sustainable practices.
"Sustainable tourism is a growing market that Oregon is well positioned to capture," said Kristin Dahl, architect of sustainable tourism initiatives for Travel Oregon. "Over 54 million Americans are inclined to select travel companies that strive to protect and preserve the local environment of the destination. (Travel Industry Association of America) And in 2009, nearly 85 percent of visitors considering travel to Oregon identified themselves as "environmentally conscious" – a significantly higher percentage than all Americans. (U.S. Travel Association) With Travel Oregon Forever, we're giving Oregon businesses a competitive advantage by showcasing their good efforts for this expanding travel demographic."
Incidentally, overall visitor spending had an $8.1 billion dollar impact on the state in 2010. The tourism industry directly employed 88,000 people, generating some $2 billion in employee earnings.
Dahl recognizes a number of benefits for hospitality businesses to adopt sustainable practices. "Businesses and organizations making investments in sustainable practices have discovered that they can attract and retain a very committed workforce, and that their employees are happier and healthier," she continued. "These establishments also garner more respect and appreciation from their local community, and are eligible for recognition and awards not previously available to them. And, of course, there's the satisfaction that comes from doing the right thing – properly stewarding the resources upon which the travel industry is built."
In its initial incarnation, Travel Oregon Forever is championing two sustainability initiatives:
1) The Sustainable Business Challenge, which incentivizes businesses to implement sustainable and environmentally responsible practices, and 2) The Oregon Travel Philanthropy Fund (developed along with Sustainable Travel International), which gives businesses and travelers an opportunity to contribute to projects that enhance Oregon's destinations. The Travel Oregon Forever website (TravelOregonForever.com) supports these initiatives and provides sustainable tourism resources.
Defining Sustainability
It's hard to argue with the core benefits of sustainable travel – it seems a win/win/win proposition for all involved. But one of the potential impasses in adopting sustainable practices has been defining sustainable practices. For some, sustainability might mean recycling paper products; for others, it might encompass everything from incorporating solar power to the local sourcing of foodstuffs. After consulting with Sustainable Travel International and Travel Oregon's Sustainable Tourism Advisory Committee, Dahl and her colleagues decided to align the state's sustainable tourism efforts with the Global Sustainable Tourism Criteria (GSTC). Assembled by over 40 of the world's leading public, private, non-profit, and academic institutions in 2008, the GSTC are a set of 37 voluntary standards representing the minimum that any tourism business should aspire to reach in order to protect and sustain the world's natural and cultural resources while ensuring tourism meets its potential as a tool for poverty alleviation.
Though the GSTC is the most widely acknowledged set of sustainability guidelines, it's certainly not the only source of criteria. "Our biggest resource for sustainability best practices has been EarthWISE, a program provided by Marion County Public Works," said Kristi Reed, director of sales for the Grand Hotel in Salem. "They help me stay abreast of sustainability trends. We were introduced to Clean the World – a program that recycles shampoo and conditioner – through EarthWISE." continue →

What started as a small group of Bayside activists who had heard enough of the rising airplane noise over their homes has since exploded into a boroughwide effort against the Federal Aviation Administration, and their efforts were further validated when Community Board 11 voted to stand behind them.
Janet McEneaney, president of Queens Quiet Skies, said the group was now working on establishing itself as an advocacy group for all of Queens, not just the northeast sector. The group has been growing organically since its inception last year and has surpassed all expectations, she said.
"We keep having more and more people coming to us from all over Queens. It's caused us to really step back and think about what it is we're doing," McEneaney said. "Our goal now is to organize ourselves outside of just northeast Queens and help everyone affected by this."
What she was referring to was an ongoing and drastic influx of jet noise overhead, which residents of the borough said was never the norm and has the potential to reduce property values. The fight against the FAA has virtually consumed Queens Quiet Skies and has several different facets, included one which CB 11 passed a resolution in favor of Monday night.
In their first meeting since returning from summer recess, CB 11 members passed a resolution urging Gov. Andrew Cuomo to sign a bill that would require the Port of Authority of New York and Jersey to conduct a noise and land use compatibility study, potentially shedding light on the increase in airliner noise.
"Any message to the governor that we're out here wanting him to take care of his constituents will be helpful," McEneaney said of the support. "That's why we think everyone should write to the governor and explain that we voted. The airlines and the Port Authority do not vote — we do."
The resolution was written in reaction to a categorical exclusion the FAA issued itself after changing its air traffic patterns over northeast Queens in accordance with the NextGen flight procedures, which create a more precise and predictable path for planes to follow. The move ultimately allowed the FAA to excuse itself from conducting a proper study of how any changes might affect residents.
The FAA took its practice of removing itself from environmental studies one step further last month when the agency tried to alter its environmental policy in implementing new flight paths throughout the country. The agency released a draft of order 1050.1F — Policies and Procedures for Considering Environmental Impacts, which includes a proposal to allow for a similar categorical exclusion to NextGen implementation nationwide. According to the proposal, studies would only be conducted if FAA administrators see fit without soliciting any public comment.
The FAA said there would be a public comment period for the draft order through Sept. 30, during which time residents can submit comments to the agency through regulations.gov docket number FAA-2013-0685. McEneaney said she and her group would be sure to speak up.
"Every other agency in America has to be subject to review under a federal statute, that if an action they take has an impact on the environment or the life of people living nearby, then there has to be some sort of environmental assessment of it," McEneaney said. "For the NextGen procedures, there hasn't been. The only judgment will be the judgment of the FAA."

The initial consultation involves the radiation oncologist, a surgeon and other physicians, if required. They will determine if CyberKnife® is right for you. Please bring a list of all of your medications to these appointments.
Fiducials are tiny gold marker seeds that are implanted into soft tissues in or near the tumor to accurately guide the CyberKnife radiation beams. These markers are typically required for tumors in the abdomen, pelvis, prostate and some lung cancers. They are not required for tumors in the brain or spine.
If your treatment requires the placement of fiducial markers, the Connecticut CyberKnife Center staff will arrange for the procedure. For more details about placement of fiducial markers, please click on the link for your type of cancer on the left side of this page.
One to two weeks after the fiducials are placed, the patient will be scheduled to return for imaging and simulation. At this appointment, the CyberKnife nurse will explain the entire process.
The patient will then lie on the table in the exact position in which he/she will be treated. For patients with brain or head and neck tumors, a plastic mesh mask is custom molded to the face. This mask is used during treatment to help prevent movement. For all other patients, a comfortable foam immobilizing system is made which is molded to the body. These devices are used to help minimize patient movement during treatment. The process is simple and painless.
For lung, liver and pancreatic cancers, or any lesion that moves with respiration, the patient is also outfitted with the synchrony tracking vest. This comfortable vest is worn during treatments, and contains light-emitting diodes used for tracking the breathing motion.
Fine-cut CT scans are performed which will be transferred to the CyberKnife planning computers. When scheduling this appointment, you will receive instructions regarding the scan. You may be given an IV contrast (dye) injection. Please inform the staff immediately if you are allergic to x-ray or CT scan dye.
Depending on the type of tumor to be treated, MRI and/or PET scans may also be required to accurately identify the lesion.
Once your CT studies are complete, they are transferred to the CyberKnife computer, where they are fused onto any MRI or PET scans which may have been performed. The radiation oncologist and surgeon carefully map the tumor and all nearby organs on the computer.
Planning considerations include exact tumor or lesion configuration and its relationship to nearby normal body structures, which in turn influence the number, intensity and direction of the radiation beams that the robotic arm will send to the tumor. This will help ensure that we can deliver a sufficient dose to the tumor in order to destroy it, while minimizing to the greatest degree possible, the radiation dose to neighboring normal tissues.
When the physicians have completed their work, the medical physicists begin the treatment planning process. Please be aware that this may take several days, depending upon the complexity. When the planning is complete, the CyberKnife Coordinator will contact you to schedule a date and time for your treatment(s).
Patients are seen for evaluation 1-2 months after treatment, at which time CT or MRI scans may be taken to evaluate response to the treatment. Because some tumors may continue to respond for up to 4-6 months, further follow-up evaluations may be required. Patients are also advised to continue with follow-up appointments with their referring physicians.

text: I bought this car on a trip looking for cars for two teen step daughters. I spotted it and mom hated it. Terrible first car for a teenage girl and she was right. We left but I turned around and drove back and bought the car and drove it home with the intention of a quick turn around. Three days later a step daughter borrowed the car and promptly destroyed the numbers matching motor. Destroying all possibility of any quick profit. This poor car was in terrible condition. Without any doubt, had anyone else bought this car it would have seen a junkyard death and nearly did anyway. I decided to build the car. A massive amount of work and way too much money. I used it as a daily driver and slowly but surely it took shape. Finding various parts were nearly impossible but after a year of searching I found the last body part to be able to finish body work and get her into primer. As I am very close to driving my redone suburban I put it on cl. The typical amount of circle jerks ensued and got a cash buyer from palm springs lined up for Monday. Saturday night at 10:15 I get a text. He had several questions and asked to call. I agreed. After a few questions on original color and interior I noticed the guy was getting quite emotional. Then asked for the vin number. I explained this was not an ss monte carlo. He then explained he had been searching for his fathers long lost originally purchased 1974 Monte carlo. He then went on to describe the car in impossible detail. When I interrupted him and said it had a cross drawn in blue marker on the pillars is when he broke into tears. A vin check confirmed in fact this was his fathers long lost car he work for five years in the fields to buy.I unwound the palm springs deal and agreed to take payments. I meet the entire family today in Sacramento so they can see the car.I was just telling my dad how I felt I did a good thing saving this car from a sure junkyard death.

ICFF Designers: Niels de Greef
A self-taught designer, de Greef shares some of the sustainability measures that he takes when creating work and the three P's that he never strays from when producing.
This week, PSFK will be interviewing a variety of designers — both established and up-and coming, to give a preview of what to look forward to at this year's International Contemporary Furniture Fair (ICFF), taking place this Friday through Monday in NewYork. This year, the majority of designers will be displaying their work at the Jacob K. Javits center, and we've asked them to give us some insights into what they will bedisplaying, their design process, where to find them in the center, and which booths they'll be checking out in their free time.
We asked Fousse Interior Elements's Niels de Greef to share some thoughts and images about his work and the work of others with us.
What are you preparing to show at this year's ICFF?
I'm taking the ZzZen to the ICFF, a rotomolded lounge chair made for indoor and outdoor use, in production under my own label, Fousse. It doesn't have a single straight edge on it, so it can rock in all directions. With a low seating height and maximum movability, this cheerful-looking lounger is suitable for the young and the not-so-young, the tall and the tiny. It stacks, is unbreakable and comes in a variety of colors. Both the chair and its Sunbrella cushion can weather the seasons easily.
Everything I design for Fousse has to fit my version of the three P's: Playful, Pretty and Practical. Sometimes, I start out with a goal in mind, like with the ZzZen, where I aimed to produce an outdoor chair that would be perfect inside as well, and would make people smile and want to try it. Sometimes a design comes from the opportunities a material offers to do something slightly differently, like an upcoming design of a featherweight wooden lamp that fits through a mailbox and assembles in a heartbeat, making it easily available to anyone worldwide.
Have any recent design trends influenced your current work?
Being a self-taught designer, I must admit I keep little track of trendwatchers, fashionable color forecasting and all that. Rather, I listen to my (potential) clients and ask what would make them happy, what they are missing in the marketplace and design along those lines.
Something I definitely adhere to but am reluctant to call a trend is that of sustainability.
Fousse makes furniture that lasts, uses as little resources as possible and produces locally whenever possible. We're also on a bit of a mission to make people realize that there are good ways to use plastics like PE. Also, we support a great initiative called Kiva, where we donate a percent of our profits to provide microloans to small entrepreneurs in third-world countries.
Who is the one designer whose work you will definitely be checking out at the show?
I won't be able to resist checking out Dutch icon Karim Rashid's new designs for Henry Hall Designs.
Do you feel the ICFF show is evolving in a way which keeps pace with the design industry?
Honestly, as a first-timer to the fair, I don't feel I am in a position to judge this yet. I will say that there are some very interesting exhibitors there, and love initiatives like ICFF Studio which give young talent a chance to be seen.
Where will you be exhibiting during this year's ICFF?
I will be at booth number 878, as one of the winners of ICFF Studio, hosted by Bernhardt Design.
Thanks, Niels!
As the culmination of all our ICFF coverage, PSFK will be hosting a Salon on the Future of Design featuring the editors of top design websites. The event will take place this Friday the 13th from 8:30 to 11am at Soho House.
