Look Like a Badass Swashbuckler in Kat Von D's Spring Collection
These edgy vests and lengthy dresses from Kat Von D's Hidden Treasures collection will perfect your warm weather wardrobe.
-Diana Denza
Many of you know and love Kat Von D for her Sephora beauty line and her reality show LA Ink. But this leading lady really is as talented as she is tattooed. When we caught wind of her "Hidden Treasures" Spring/Summer 2012 collection, we couldn't help but check it out.
Following her luxe-looking but largely neutral Fall 2011 line, this collection is brimming with Kat's colorful personality and unique sense of style.
As we leafed through the line's lookbook, we noticed that the KvD Los Angeles pieces seemed to channel both The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo and Pirates of the Caribbean. In most ways, this was a very good thing. But as with many collections on the market, some pieces were way too far out to sea for us.
For those of you interested in picking up a piece from the line, jackets range from $295-400, tops from $90-200, and dresses from $250-600. It will be available in select stores and online on February 14, 2012.
Among Kat's best pieces were the super sultry blazers, jackets, and vests. With its detailed front closure, chic collar, and midnight black hue, the Starboard vest is badass enough for Dragon Tattoo's Lisbeth Salander. And if you're more of the feminine type, simply pair it with skinny jeans and sky high heels for a sophisticated look.
If you're searching for the perfect black blazer, the High Seas jacket will do the trick and then some. Its unique cut will add a little oomph to any ensemble while still being fit for dinner with your guy's parents.
Read How to Get Beachy, Tousled Waves in the Middle of Winter
If you want to go edgy without falling off the fashion bandwagon, try the Tesoro jacket on for size. Muted enough to be work appropriate, you'll look risqué without risking your job!
While spring is like prime time for cute jackets, we couldn't resist these sleek dresses. The Flagship dress' ladylike length makes it perfect for an office party or a dinner with your beau. If you've been dying to trade in that little black dress for a more original number, this is your frock. Feel free to top your haute new look with fun accessories!
On that note, if you're looking for something with a bit more bling, pair the Derelict tank and Diving Bell skirt for an attention grabbing outfit.
See more of Kat's collection, including sexy dresses and trousers perfect for spring, up next!

WKU engineering's steel bridge team competes in national event
|Date: Thursday, June 20th, 2013
WKU civil engineering students competed in the National Student Steel Bridge Competition May 31-June 1 at the University of Washington.
The WKU steel bridge placed fourth in the nation for stiffness, fifth for display, 25th for structural efficiency and 37th overall. The display category refers to the appearance of the bridge, proportion, elegance and finish while structural efficiency is a measure of the cost of the structure.
WKU steel bridge student team members include: co-captains Clayton Cook of Owenton and Dylan Ward of Hartford; Joshua Clemmons, Michael Doyel and Omar Ramadan, all of Bowling Green; Joshua Rodgers of West Point; Yulizza Henao Barragan of Medellin, Colombia; Jordan Begley of Somerset; Jacob Martin of Shelbyville; Leonardo Calheiros of Sao Luis, Brazil; Luiz Pego of Sao Paulo, Brazil; and Liz Chang of Louisville.
"The students have raised the bar this year, designing and building a steel bridge that well represented WKU at the national competition," said team advisor Shane Palmquist, associate professor in the WKU Engineering Department. "The team is pleased with their accomplishments and plans to do better next year."
WKU qualified for the national competition after a third-place finish this spring in the regional competition. Approximately 3,000 civil engineering students from across the nation built 214 steel bridges and competed in regional events in hopes of qualifying for the 2013 national competition in Seattle.
The 2014 National Steel Bridge Competition will be held at the University of Akron in Akron, Ohio.
Contact: Shane Palmquist, (270) 745-2461.
The Center for Gifted Studies at WKU hosted its 34th annual Summer Program for Verbally and Mathematically Precocious Youth (VAMPY) from June 25 to July 15.
WKU has surpassed its previous record of private support in a fiscal year with a new high of $36.3 million gifted in 2016-17.
The WKU Alumni Association recently thanked nine volunteers who are retiring from the WKU Alumni Association National Board of Directors after their term of office.
Get ready for the end of summer WKU PBS Pool Party being held at the Russell Sims Aquatic Park on Sunday, Aug. 6, from noon to 5 p.m.
The WKU Alumni Association recently elected 11 new board members for 2017-2018.

Heavy Rain Threat Dries Up
The threat of potentially flooding rains fizzled over metro San Antonio early Saturday, as fast moving storms moved out of the area, and flash flood warnings were cancelled early, 1200 WOAI news reports.
The Weather channel says the region received less than an inch of rain, not the four inches which had originally been forecast.
CPS Energy's power outage map Saturday morning showed only one customer without power, and the Fire Department reported no high water rescues.
Neither San Antonio nor Bexar County reported any streets closed due to flooding.
The rain fell in squalls Friday afternoon and evening, but quickly washed into storm drains or into ground parched by the drought.
The forecast now is for cooler temperatures for the rest of of the weekend, lower humidity, and little chance of additional rain.

Core Curriculum
The Core Curriculum at Mines forms the foundation for advanced study in the major fields. It is designed to give students the fundamental knowledge and skills they will need and put to use in their majors and in careers after graduation. Core courses provide students with fundamental technical, mathematical, and writing skills. In Core courses, students learn basic scientific procedures, principles, concepts, laws, and theories relevant to all applied sciences. In addition, Core courses in the humanities and social sciences help students develop interdisciplinary perspectives on the ethical, social, and cultural contexts within which science and engineering take place.
The variety of courses in the Core Curriculum also provide students with opportunities to develop skills in problem solving, critical thinking, teamwork, design, and communication. Students who complete the Core are well prepared to be lifelong learners and leaders who can work effectively in an increasingly globalized world.
The Core Curriculum has several parts: 1.) The Common Core 2.) Distributed Humanities and Social Science Requirement 3.) Distributed Science Requirement and 4.) Distributed Engineering Requirement. Requirements vary according to the major field of study. Finally, all students have a number of Free Elective courses. Students normally complete Common Core courses, Distributed Science requirements, and Distributed Engineering requirements in the first two years. Students typically complete Free Electives in the last two years. Refer to the Degree Requirements section for each major program in the Colorado School of Mines Undergraduate Bulletin for a listing of Common and Distributed Core courses students should take each semester.

Women in the media with their new babies at work
There's been a few cases in the media over the last year of well known women taking their newborn babies to work with them. Have a look at this news article showing a MEP from Italy taking new new baby girl to work in a sling, very much in the eyes of the media.
What's your opinion on cases like these? I think it's great that this baby girl seems so happy close to her mum (who is obviously very successful) but I also wonder if the media play down the time needed to recover from pregnancy and birth. I know not everyone has the luxury of time off work, but I also wonder if the wonderful (but tiring) time bonding with your newborn baby is being hurried by society's expectations to get back to work. What do you think?
8th February 2012 09:00 AM #2
I am in two minds - they are gorgeous pictures of a mum wearing her baby and she is is obviously in love with her baby. But the baby is so little and I would hope they'd be home having a baby moon, getting to know each other without outside distractions.
On a personal I did return to work very part time with my last two babies at around three months. They came with me on prenatal visits - offering a live breastfeeding demonstration - my husband would care for them if I got called to a birth. It was a juggling act.
8th February 2012 11:32 AM #3
Wow aussiemidwife! - a live breastfeeding demonstration - now that's invaluable experience for a new breastfeeding mum.

Strong northerly winds will continue this evening across most of
the San Francisco and Monterey Bay region. Wind gusts between 45
and 50 mph -- and locally to 60 mph -- have been reported along the
Sonoma and Marin coastline with similar gusts along the San Mateo
coast. At San Francisco Airport wind gusts to 60 mph were reported
this evening.
Northerly wind gusts to 45 mph will occur across the advisory area
but the strongest winds are expected to be near the coast and in
the hills above 1000 feet. These wind gusts are strong enough
to bring down power lines, small branches and weak trees.

nah b, it depends on the program. Im in biomed sciences and im paying about 6k alone for tuition. my buddy in math/ca says its about 7k where as my friend in softeng is paying ~10k. so its totally possible to spend +15k.
but seriously meal plan after first year? you're a noob at life.
lol I don't have a meal plan, I was just stating that I have no idea how one can spend over 20k in one year, including all possible expenses.
I mean, I understand tuition varies with the program, but 12k for one years living expenses? You're definitely not choosing the most economical living arrangements if you're spending that much.

New CNN host Beck rants: Jimmy Carter biggest "waste of skin"; "[a]t least evil is using" skin of Kim Jong Il
Research ››› ››› ROB MORLINO
During his nationally syndicated radio show, Glenn Beck repeatedly referred to former President Jimmy Carter as a "waste of skin," adding that North Korean leader Kim Jong Il was not a bigger waste of skin because "[a]t least evil is using that skin."
During the February 8 broadcast of his nationally syndicated radio show, Glenn Beck repeatedly referred to former President Jimmy Carter as a "waste of skin" during a rant that culminated in Beck's taking votes from his executive producer Steve "Stu" Burguiere and producer Dan Andros on whether Carter was a "bigger waste of skin" than singer Britney Spears.
Responding to Carter's eulogy during the February 7 funeral for civil rights activist Coretta Scott King, Beck said that former President Bill Clinton, who had "roll[ed] around on the bathroom floor with a fat intern and a cigar," looked "like the classy one" during the funeral.
Beck, a recent hire of CNN Headline News, concluded that Spears' "accomplishments" in bringing "the Catholic schoolgirl uniform" back into prominence made her less of a waste of skin than Carter. He also concluded that North Korean leader Kim Jong Il was not a bigger waste of skin because "[a]t least evil is using that skin."
As Media Matters for America previously noted, Beck referred to anti-war activist Cindy Sheehan as a "pretty big prostitute," later amending, at the behest of Burguiere, that "tragedy pimp" would be "the most accurate description."
From the February 8 broadcast of Premiere Radio Networks' The Glenn Beck Program:
BECK: Is there a day that God ever says, "What was I thinking?" Here's what I mean: Do you think God ever says, "I could've used that skin making somebody of value, you know? I could have used that skin in such a -- just a better way." You know? And its not -- the reason why I bring this up is: Is there a bigger waste of skin than Jimmy Carter? Ya know, I don't mean to, you know, I don't mean to look the maker in the eyes and say, "Eh, kind of a waste," but I'm asking, do you think he ever thinks, "I don't know, man, I could've used that skin someplace else." You know? Who's the bigger waste of skin, can you name a bigger -- you know, and you could immediately go to people like Kim Jong Il. OK, there's a big waste of skin, but not really, because his skin's being utilized by evil. At least evil is using that skin. Who's using the skin of Jimmy Carter? What purpose does the skin of Jimmy Carter -- it's like an empty suit walking down the street.
I'm telling you, I think Jimmy Carter is the luckiest man on earth, because he's still walking around. And he was president of the short-term memory country, you know what I mean? Here we are, we have no long-term memory at all, we've got -- we're sitting here with short-term memory, we're like, "Hey, he was a president or something, wasn't he? Heh-heh-heh -- yeah, a peanut farmer, I remember that." You don't seem to remember anything -- here he is, a guy who's, you know, busting on us on Iraq, saying that we should negotiate with Hamas and listen to them and blah-blah-blah-blah-blah. You know, maybe, Jimmy, we wouldn't be in this problem if, I don't know, you didn't have the helicopters burn in the middle of the desert. If you wouldn't have let the whole Islamic revolution thing happen in the first place. What do you say, James? Is there a bigger waste of skin than Jimmy Carter? Here's how much of a waste of skin this guy is. Bill Clinton -- a guy who had sex in the Oval Off -- not just sex, was down rolling around on the bathroom floor, not the Oval Office with the nice carpeting and curtains and stuff, rolling around on the bathroom floor with a fat intern and a cigar. OK, got that beautiful picture in your head? That -- standing next to Jimmy Carter giving one speech after another -- Bill Clinton looks like the classy one. How's that possible? That's what a waste of skin Jimmy Carter is -- Bill Clinton looks classy!
I'm trying to put a list together, you know, and the people that came to mind: Ben Affleck -- Ben Affleck, bigger waste of skin than Jimmy Carter? I gotta tell you, I -- I don't think so. I don't think I'd go to the Ben Affleck well. Pam Anderson -- there's a lotta skin. Sometimes more skin and sometimes less skin. I'm not sure how that works, ever expanding skin. Who's a bigger waste of skin -- Jimmy Carter or Pamela Anderson? I gotta go -- I gotta go with Jimmy Carter. Britney Spears. We're down to Britney Spears. Whew. Stu, I think I need -- Dan, I need a -- I need a vote, Britney Spears or Jimmy Carter? Bigger waste of skin.
ANDROS: I mean, I think Britney Spears has done a lot for this country, to be perfectly honest with you. She's -- she's brought back the Catholic schoolgirl uniform into prominence.
BECK: I gotta give it -- you're -- Jimmy Carter.
BURGUIERE: Britney, though, has, Glenn, just kind of devalued herself with this baby incident yesterday.
ANDROS: True, but look at her accomplishments --
BECK: But that -- look at her accomplishments. The Catholic schoolgirl outfit.
STU: Good point.

UPDATED: Politico Uncovers "Family Ties" Between Wash. Post's George Will And Perry Campaign
Blog ››› ››› MEDIA MATTERS STAFF
Politico reported that the wife of Washington Post columnist George Will has taken a job with the campaign of Republican presidential candidate Rick Perry, a fact Will reportedly plans to disclose on Sunday on ABC News and in future columns.
As noted* by Politico's Dylan Byers, the ties between the Perry camp and Will's wife, Mari Maseng, developed in recent weeks as Will was discussing Perry's opponents in Washington Post columns and during appearances on ABC News.
Washington Post editor Fred Hiatt, however, dismissed concerns about Will's past columns:
"There was no relationship between his wife and any campaign the last time he wrote a column on the campaign, or any aspect of the campaign," Hiatt said. "This developed after the last column that was two weeks ago. He has never written a column while there was a relationship between his wife and the campaign."
Will has however had multiple columns within the last two weeks. His most recent column for the Post was published online November 9 and in print November 10. A column about the GOP debates was published online November 4 (in print November 6), and a column that disparaged Romney as "the pretzel candidate" was published online October 28 (in print October 30).
And there is some confusion over Maseng's status: Both Hiatt and Washington Post Writer Group editor Alan Scherer say that when Will informed them of Maseng's role, he said it was unpaid. However, Miner told us that this was a paid position. Will did not return more than half-a-dozen calls.
Maseng's job may also pose a problem for Will's relationship with ABC News. On November 6, two days before the debate and after Maseng started her work for the campaign, Will appeared on ABC's "This Week" and faulted Perry's GOP challengers, including Romney.
*Updated to reflect changes in the Politico article.
UPDATE: Politico is now reporting that Will's wife also sought work with the Romney campaign:
In addition to her current work for the Perry campaign and her earlier work for the Bachmann campaign, a source knowledgeable of the situation tells us that Maseng sought out a role with the Romney campaign in June.
On June 28, Maseng went to Boston and met with multiple, "high-level officials" in the Romney campaign about joining on as an adviser. No formal offer was ever made, according to the source.

For the first time this year, in addition to the Outstanding Alumnus Award and the Benjamin Wall Ingram III Young Alumnus, FMU honored those who have attained exceptional achievements or gained prominence in his/her profession.
The Outstanding Alumnus is S.C. Attorney General Alan Wilson. He received a B.S. degree in political science from FMU in 1996 and received a juris doctorate from the University of South Carolina School of Law in 2002.
On November 2, 2010, Alan Wilson was elected South Carolina's 51st Attorney General and took office on January 12, 2011, becoming the nation's youngest attorney general – the state's peacekeeper.
This marks his third stint in the office. Previously, he served as a prosecution division intern under Charlie Condon and as an assistant attorney general under Henry McMaster. Prior to his election, Wilson served as an assistant solicitor and as an assistant attorney general before entering private practice with the Columbia firm of Willoughby & Hoefer, P.A. He began his legal career working for the late Judge Marc H. Westbrook.
Wilson joined the U.S. Army National Guard immediately after graduating from college. Wilson graduated from FMU with a bachelor's degree in political science in 1996, and received a juris doctorate from the University of South Carolina School of Law in 2002.
He and his wife, Jennifer, have two young children, Michael and Anna Grace.
The Benjamin Wall Ingram III Young Alumnus is Jessica Rush Mason ('02, '06) of Florence.
Mason has been employed with Pee Dee Electric Cooperative for 10 years and is the vice president of accounting for Pee Dee Electric Cooperative.

In addition, she oversees all operational reporting as required.
Mason lives in Florence and she and her husband Michael have three children - Michael Jr., Brianna, Josiah.
The Professional Industry Achievement Award in Education and Arts was bestowed on Dr. Rainey Knight.
Knight was recently named 2013 South Carolina Superintendent of the Year, for her efforts to lead Darlington County Schools to its stance as one of the top academic achieving districts in South Carolina despite challenges of an 82% poverty rate and low per student spending. Knight received her bachelor's in biology in 1977 from Francis Marion University and went on to complete her master's in biology from the University of South Carolina in 1980. She earned her doctor of philosophy from the University of South Carolina in 1991.
The consummate educator, Knight has been in the Darlington County School District as a secondary coordinator, a principal and an associate superintendent, and has served since 1999 as the superintendent of the district. Six years ago, Knight's passion for education was rewarded by FMU's Department of Biology. She was one of the first recipients of the John S. Boyce Award in recognition of outstanding graduates of the biology program.
Knight, a daughter of the late Tony and Jean Harris, lives in Hartsville and has a son, Harris.
The Professional Industry Achievement Award in Public Service and Law was awarded to Chad Burgess of Columbia.
He enrolled at FMU and completed a double major in history and political science and was awarded a Bachelor of Arts degree on May 6, 1995. Burgess completed his legal course work and received his juris doctorate from USC in 2001. His first job after law school was with the Supreme Court of South Carolina working as a staff attorney. In 2007, Burgess accepted the role of senior counsel in SCANA Corporation's Legal Regulatory Department.
Two years later, Burgess was promoted to assistant general counsel later rising to his current position of associate general counsel. In this position, he provides legal counsel and representation to S.C. Electric & Gas Company (SCE&G), the principal subsidiary of SCANA.

The End of New York: How One Blog Tracks the Disappearance of a Vibrant City
When I tell Jeremiah Moss—whose name turns out to be a pseudonym—that I love his blog, Jeremiah's Vanishing New York, but also can't bear it, he laughs. "I get that a lot: 'I hate your blog, but can't stop reading it.'"
Through unadorned pictures—old signs, shuttered windows—and the odd, sad farewell notes of owners, Moss is cataloging the disappearance of small stores and local restaurants from New York's streets and neighborhoods as rent hikes force them out and chain coffee shops and big, shiny, glass condos and office spaces replace them.
Moss, who is in his "early 40s," speaks quietly and seems a private fellow, if full of passion and anger about what he perceives as the dissolution of the city. Many seem to feel the same way, judging by the comments on the site and his almost14,000 fans on Facebook.
Moss started the blog in 2007, having moved to New York from a small, working-class New England town "around 20 years" ago. "I had been complaining to anyone who would listen about what I saw as the shift in the city, particularly after 9/11, with Bloomberg [the city's mayor from 2002 to 2013]," he says. "The city was upscaled and gentrified. Suddenly a suburbanized Middle America was taking over what had been a long-standing pocket of eccentricity and bohemianism."
Moss has lived in the East Village the whole time, in a "crummy slum tenement where the landlord never gets anything fixed," and he has witnessed his area transform from one inhabited by "oddballs, artists, gays, Ukrainians" in a welcomingly chaotic jumble to one more akin to "fraternity culture," packed with "the middle classes, the heteronormative…" He pauses. "Football fans." He says ruefully, "That thing I left the suburbs to get away from is now at our gates. It's been really frightening watching the creep of Starbucks east. There are three or four within a handful of blocks in the East Village."
He particularly misses Mars Bar ("dive bars have been falling fast"), The Holiday Cocktail Lounge, and Blarney Cove; Mars Bar particularly because it hosted artists and the punks who would descend there after a show at nearby CBGB. These bohemian joints were so uncompromising that they reminded Moss "you needed chutzpah to live in New York," he says. "Now you just have to be very rich. Your soul doesn't matter." He also misses the original Odessa diner, Chelsea's Rawhide gay bar, Prime Burger in Midtown, the Colony music store in Times Square, the Lenox Lounge in Harlem, and the much-cherished bar Bill's Gay Nineties, where Tallulah Bankhead used to drink.
One farewell sign on Moss' blog, from the departing management of University Pita at 12th and Broadway, reads, "Over the years it has been a privilege to serve this community here in the East/West Village." The signs have a poignancy, says Moss, "because there is a tension in them in what they are not saying," he says. "Phrases like 'Due to unforeseen circumstances' and 'Due to a change in ownership' conceal what they are really saying about their closure, which is 'Thanks to our greedy landlord,' although some do say that, too.
"But generally there's this stiff upper lip. You can feel the sadness and regret. When I'm photographing the signs, someone will walk by, shrug their shoulders, or say, 'Goddammit, when did that happen?' There's a sense of loss and sometimes shock—that something they expect to see there isn't coming back."
Between 2001 and 2013, Moss calculates, the number of small stores that closed in New York had been in business for 7,000 years—and those are only the businesses he tracked or was tipped off about. The real number, he thinks, is even higher. Some owners died, he concedes, but most of those businesses were forced out by rent hikes.

The decline of once-bustling urban industrial centers, new mandates by municipalities nationwide for contractors to recycle demolition waste, and a sharper focus on materials sourcing by third-party green-building certifiers are just a few of the forces driving the market for architectural salvage. In October, we went behind the scenes at Community Forklift in Edmonston, Md., to trace the paths of reclaimed products as they passed through the nonprofit and into local projects. Last week, we took a break from the AIA National Convention in Chicago to visit the Rebuilding Exchange, a nonprofit located in the city's Bucktown neighborhood that retails reclaimed building materials and interior products to approximately 16,000 customers annually while providing job training for individuals including non-violent ex-offenders, the homeless, and those with limited education.
The 24,000-square-foot warehouse is the company's third location since it was started in 2009. It houses old- and new-growth lumber, windows and doors, cabinets, tile, and other building materials pulled from commercial and residential projects in the Midwest—including the Chicago metropolitan area in Illinois and Indiana, as well as Iowa, Michigan, and Wisconsin. "The big business interest in Chicago is tearing down buildings as quick as possible to put new ones up," says Blake Sloane, director of the Rebuilding Exchange's RX Made product line. "We have to convince people to gently deconstruct."
The Rebuilding Exchange is a project of the Delta Institute, a Chicago-based nonprofit whose initiatives include sustainable deconstruction, brownfield redevelopment, and creating a market for felled, diseased urban Ash trees. The Rebuilding Exchange sponsors a formal job training program that currently sources participants through The Cara Program in Chicago and schools them in warehousing, customer service, OSHA and lead-abatement requirements, and woodworking as they rotate through the warehouse and fabrication shop. Laura Jackson, shown in the photo above, is in her fourth month of the Rebuilding Exchange's current program, which lasts six months. Four of the company's 14 full-time staffers were hired out of the training program. Eighty-two people have completed the program since its start in 2009.
In December 2011, the Rebuilding Exchange launched RX Made. The majority of the product line is crafted in-house and its three flagship products—a bottle opener, a clock, and a modular bench—are designed in collaboration with Strand Design in Chicago. Metal components are fabricated locally. The latter item was featured in ARCHITECT's June issue. RX Made also fabricates custom tabletops and kitchen islands for homes and restaurants in the region.
During the last two years, Sloane says, the competition among retailers to source high-quality salvaged materials has increased as designers seek out the products for use in interior finishes, furniture, and other decorative products. "Everyone with a barn in Wisconsin now thinks they can make a ton of money selling wood," he says.
But the reserves are growing. In November 2012, Cook County, Ill., which includes the city of Chicago, enacted the Midwest's first demolition debris ordinance. The rule applies to the county's suburban and unincorporated regions and requires demolition contractors on nonresidential projects to recycle 70 percent of the waste (by weight) and for residential contractors to both recycle 70 percent of the waste (by weight) and reuse an additional 5 percent of the debris (by weight) for a total of 75 percent of the material either recycled or reused. Chicago's city ordinance requires at least 50 percent of recyclable project waste to be recycled.
Lumber currently accounts for approximately 50 percent of the Rebuilding Exchange's sales. The company supplies its reclaimed lumber to Chicago-based Icon Modern for use as furniture and fixtures in Whole Foods and Starbucks (projects) in the Midwest. Visitors to Chicago can find the shop's custom wood tabletops in local restaurants including Bang Bang Pie & Biscuits, Hamburger Mary's, and Black Dog Gelato. "[We're] trying to convince people to take that extra time to use our material," Sloane says. "[It's] the same as taking that extra time to deconstruct something rather than tearing it down."
Do-it-yourselfers make up the majority of the warehouse's customer base, say Sloane and executive director Mary Trieschmann. In addition to finished products and raw materials, the Rebuilding Exchange also offers woodworking, canning, composting, and other workshops to the public. But Trieschmann, who was hired in April, is eyeing the architecture and design community as she learns more about the market for architectural salvage in Chicago. "Five years out, we don't know what the Rebuilding Exchange is going to look like," she says. "We need to investigate what this region's reclaimed market has and what it needs."

Statement by Ambassador Wittig on Sudan in the Security Council
(check against delivery)
Madam President,
I will be brief. Most of the things I wanted to say have been said before. So I will focus on very few points.
Germany also welcomes the peaceful voting during the referendum and joins others in congratulating the parties to the CPA and the people everywhere in Sudan. We are encouraged by the responsible behavior of the government in Khartum over recent weeks. Again we extend our gratitude to the Southern Sudan Referendum Commission and its Bureau. We commend the United Nations Mission to Sudan and Special Representative Menkerios for their crucial contribution as well as the panel under President Mkapa.
After the pronouncement of the official results, all parties in the Sudan and the international community now need to focus on the future: The consolidation of peace, good relations and coexistence between the North and the South and capacity building for a wholly new state. In this enormous endeavor, all parties need to continue to co-operate in good faith.
The forthcoming creation of an independent state in south Sudan will redraft the political and economic landscape of Africa. At the same time, we see the opportunity for the development of peaceful neighborly relations. Many serious challenges remain. Especially the durable solution of the question of Abyei is needed. We urgently call upon the CPA parties to complete the popular consultations in South Kordofan and Blue Nile and to reach an agreement on Abyei. But also the other remaining post-referendum-issues such as citizenship, the rights of Northerners in the South and of Southerners in the North, wealth sharing, border demarcation, and security arrangements must be addressed without further delay.
The Council's decisions have been crucial for the peaceful referendum process. But the Security Council will have to continue to assume this responsibility and extend its support to institution building in the soon independent new state in South Sudan. Germany stands ready to contribute.
Finally, we must not divert our attention from the situation in Darfur. We are very concerned about the continuing violence in this region and the displacement of thousands of people. We urge the Government of Sudan and all groups in Darfur to provide for the safety and security of the civilian population and to ensure unhindered access for UNAMID and humanitarian aid.
We are encouraged to hear that the peace talks in Doha are about to gain new momentum. We continue to urge all parties to the peace talks to conclude a comprehensive ceasefire and agreements on all other outstanding issues. The people of Darfur deserve peace and they deserve it right now.
Thank you, Madam President.

When an ex-spouse makes payments to a former spouse after the divorce, the payments are called alimony. Alimony payments (also called spousal support) are intended to preserve the lifestyle the former spouse enjoyed before the divorce. Unlike child support, which is a required payment to fund a child's necessities, no one is guaranteed alimony. If a couple can't agree, a judge decides whether to award alimony. A divorce lawyer who specializes in alimony knows what information you need to calculate alimony, and can also help if you feel your ex-spouse is asking for too much alimony.

Now, what I do as a Therapist is to myself take the role of 'dysthymic' a antagonist. In other words, I lay low. I remain objective and fairly clinical, and "outside the box" seemingly a little depressed myself so as to be on even footing with the patient or what have you. Then I track them with my associates for a long while until I am able to recognize the outcome.

Teaching economics is, in large part, about how government interfaces with the economy.
Models and theories of macroeconomics, the study of business cycles, show how the government can mitigate recessions with so-called fiscal stimuli. The government's size gives it the ability to borrow and spend when smaller players in the economy cannot.
Microeconomics, the study of individual consumers and markets, has models in which the government can solve problems that markets cannot. Goods that we all share, such as national defense, can't be provided by a market because each consumer will let others provide it and then "free ride" - use it without paying. Government can act for the group and decide how much of these goods we need and how to pay for them.
Government is, thus, in all of the things that we teach in economics classes. It is big, it is uniquely capable of correcting problems in the economy and, in addition, it makes the rules that the rest of us have to follow.
But with all of that power, we often forget that it is not a "real" entity. That is to say that government consists of people whom we elect and employ to act in our interest. Government is people and, as such, its actions and decisions are not always in the best interest of the state, the country or the economy as a whole; government often makes choices that are in these elected people's own interest.
Why would the all-knowing, all-caring government that we imagine in our economics classes tell its constituents that they can retire at full pay at age 60 (sort of like Greece before its economy melted down), knowing that the country cannot afford this in the long run? The people who are the government want to be liked and re-elected. And they know that if this is going to be a problem, it won't be their problem - because the problem will occur many years in the future.
Why would a government espouse a huge tax increase on millionaires in order to increase entitlement programs, knowing that many of these millionaires will move away and that the tax increase will actually hurt the economy (like in France, with its 75 percent tax on incomes over $1 million per year)? Because the people who want to be elected manage to convince the majority of the electorate that this will help many and hurt few. They don't mention that taxing rich, mobile people will have long-run negative repercussions.
We all need government. Even as a fiscal conservative, I have never believed in the libertarian view that we would be better off without government. But government, viewed as the people that are the government, makes choices and decisions that are scarily short-sighted and predictably self-interested. Government often doesn't end up being the big corrector of all ills. It ends up being a big collection of little agents who sometimes make personal decisions that aren't good for society.
Representative government is a wonderful idea in theory. We all vote for a relatively small group of people who then make choices for those of us that they represent. These representatives, be they Senators, House members, Assembly members, or City Council members, are supposed to consider the entire group and what's best for the group in the long run. They are not supposed to split us up into skin colors or ethnicities or religions or members of organizations.
But the real world of politics is all about appealing to such groups. If a candidate appeals to enough groups whose members all vote for him, he will likely be the elected representative. His mandate is then to do everything he can for the members of those groups, even if it is bad for everyone else and for the economy as a whole.
Tax a small group of people who didn't vote for me a lot and give the money to the big group that did vote for me. And if the people I tax move away and the economy suffers, that will be later after I'm no longer a representative.
The solution might be as easy as this: Don't vote for any candidate who appears to be appealing to just you; just to the members of your group. We should be electing people who are building a strong state, a strong country and a viable, strong economy.
We, as the people who elect representatives, should have the strength to vote for what's right even if it isn't going to immediately benefit our groups.
We, the electorate, are stewards of our society and our economy. We need to vote first and foremost as members of our larger, more important special interest groups: citizens of California and citizens of the United States.

Sunday, March 15 2009 - 9/11 Commission
The 9/11 Commission and Torture
The bipartisan panel that investigated the terrorist attacks was widely praised.
But did its final report rely on suspect information?
Powerful Democrats on Capitol Hill are clamoring for creation of a bipartisan "9/11 style" commission to investigate the legality of the Bush administration's antiterrorism tactics--especially its use of harsh interrogation techniques.
President Obama has been notably cool to the idea. But the case for a "truth" commission was bolstered by the disclosure this month that the CIA had destroyed 92 videotapes of the interrogations and confinement of Al Qaeda suspects. A dozen showed the use of "enhanced" techniques routinely described by human-rights groups as torture.
Lawmakers say the obvious model for such an inquiry would be the 9/11 Commission--an independent bipartisan body praised for its authoritative account of the attacks.
But as a reporter who covered the commission from start to finish and later wrote a history of its investigation, I wonder if Congress understands the deep irony of establishing a "new 9/11 Commission" on these issues. Former commission investigators have acknowledged to me over the past year that the panel had a serious blind spot on questions about torture.
The commission appears to have ignored obvious clues throughout 2003 and 2004 that its account of the 9/11 plot and Al Qaeda's history relied heavily on information obtained from detainees who had been subjected to torture, or something not far from it.
The panel raised no public protest over the CIA's interrogation methods, even though news reports at the time suggested how brutal those methods were. In fact, the commission demanded that the CIA carry out new rounds of interrogations in 2004 to get answers to its questions.
That has troubling implications for the credibility of the commission's final report. In intelligence circles, testimony obtained through torture is typically discredited; research shows that people will say anything under threat of intense physical pain.
And yet it is a distinct possibility that Al Qaeda suspects who were the exclusive source of information for long passages of the commission's report may have been subjected to "enhanced" interrogation techniques, or at least threatened with them, because of the 9/11 Commission.
While the CIA says it ended the use of waterboarding by early 2003, the agency continued to use other "enhanced" methods involving pain, sleep deprivation and extended isolation--all of which have been branded as torture. The CIA insists that its interrogation methods were legal and approved by the White House.
I wish I had known all this before my book was published in January of last year. Only a few days after publication, the CIA acknowledged publicly, for the first time, that it had carried out waterboarding on Al Qaeda detainees. It was a startling disclosure. Before 2001, the United States had routinely condemned waterboarding as torture and had prosecuted it as a war crime.
The CIA insisted that only three men had been waterboarded: Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the architect of the 9/11 attacks; Abu Zubaydah, Al Qaeda's operations chief; and Abd al-Rahim al-Nashiri, ringleader of the USS Cole bombing.
Information from CIA interrogations of two of the three--KSM and Abu Zubaydah--is cited throughout two key chapters of the panel's report focusing on the planning and execution of the attacks and on the history of Al Qaeda.
Footnotes in the panel's report indicate when information was obtained from detainees interrogated by the CIA. An analysis by NBC News found that more than a quarter of the report's footnotes--441 of some 1,700--referred to detainees who were subjected to the CIA's "enhanced" interrogation program, including the trio who were waterboarded.
Commission members note that they repeatedly pressed the Bush White House and CIA for direct access to the detainees, but the administration refused. So the commission forwarded questions to the CIA, whose interrogators posed them on the panel's behalf.
The commission's report gave no hint that harsh interrogation methods were used in gathering information, stating that the panel had "no control" over how the CIA did its job; the authors also said they had attempted to corroborate the information "with documents and statements of others."
But how could the commission corroborate information known only to a handful of people in a shadowy terrorist network, most of whom were either dead or still at large?
Former senator Bob Kerrey of Nebraska, a Democrat on the commission, told me last year he had long feared that the investigation depended too heavily on the accounts of Al Qaeda detainees who were physically coerced into talking. While he thought the commission's larger narrative about the September 11 attacks held up, "there's reason now to suspect that we may have gotten some of the details wrong" about the 9/11 plot and about Al Qaeda.
Kerrey said it might take "a permanent 9/11 commission" to end the remaining mysteries of September 11. Those now calling for more 9/11-style panels would be wise to heed his words.

Here is my newest creation. I call it "EvilAP". I started this project initially because we needed wifi in a building at work that didn't have any cat5 wiring and the run was over 100 ft. It started with a linksys wrt54g v5. The firmware on this one did not allow for much " modding" so I embarked on a firmware upgrade quest. I found out that the v5 has half the memory of the earlier versions and does not take aftermarket firmware well. Thanks to a thread on here though I found there was a way to flash it with dd-wrt firmware. Instead of being a onestep process like normal I actually had to flash it 4 times with different firmware to get to the build of dd-wrt I wanted which was v24. I was only interested in the wireless repeater mode at this point.
Now in the proccess of doing this I tried to mod the antennas and ended up breaking of one of the tnc connectors on the unit. At this point at work my boss said "hey just order the damn stuff new and quit messing around". So I ordered a coople routers and rootenna's (thanks streaker69) for work. Well at this point I was into my project so I pursued a personal one at the same time. I ordered my own linksys wrt54gL which is the newest linux running version. It is a simple one time flash to gat the newest v 24 firmware from dd-wrt. Thats what I did at my work and connected two rootennas and its been working great since.
Now for my project I did some research on the dd-wrt forums and came across a script which can be placed in the routers memeorey itself and set to run at startup when the router is pluged in. If your interested you can read about all the stuff the script can be set to do here. Anyway the main thing it does is auto connect to the AP with the strongest signal and rebroadcasts it. Just a side note , the reason this is not a step by step tutorial is because there is way to much potential for abuse. If you can figure it out like I did then so be it.
The script can also be set up with a list of wep keys or wpa phrases with which it will try on each AP. This is a interesting set up for me because as many people know I am in live sound. Normally when our tour goes to a venue they provide wireless internet as its on my ryder always. Sometimes its to far and with this set up I can boost the signal considerably.
The potential for abuse here is that if I lived in a apartment complex I could set this to cycle every 20 mins and auto connect to the strongest AP and I could even enter keys that I had cracked. Pretty nasty HUH. The Ap also runs off a different subnet as the main AP its connected too so that on the main AP network there is only one new thing connected no matter how many machines I have connected to my AP.
The next order of businesses was to get some 9 db replacement antennas for "EvilAP" in order to boost the range. I also jacked up the xmit power from the default of 24 to 100. The max is 251 but I could not find any posts from any one that was clocking over 100 so I did not go over that.
The last thing I did was used the old wrt54g v5 that I started the project with ( and broke the tnc lead, remember) and turned of dhcp and glued and linked it to the new router. This was also something for work but I tried it at home first. So instead of tossing the old router (which was crappy any way) I turned it into a few more ports. So now there are 6 ports instead of four.
I will be doing some more advanced stuff to the router soon like running a sniffer inside or airsnarf or something but for now this is what I got. A super highgain dd-wrt wireless repeater. I hope this was of interest to someone.
PS-I looked into buying a cisco product of the same calliber and the price would have been 600 -1000 dollars US.
PSS-If any one has any cool ideas for this type of thing i'd love to hear it.
Here are some pics

Students once again took to the great outdoors to call attention to the problem of homelessness.
Bearing the brunt of a long, cold week, sleeping in tents and eating from a mock soup kitchen, the students learned firsthand how difficult life on the streets can be. While living outside, they still attended classes and did their homework, only without the aid of electronics. Meanwhile, each day brought a speaker to address issues affecting the homeless.

SP12SBK2: C12SBK2 Matriarch 2
History and Lineage
The Matriarch 2 traces its lineage to one of Spyderco's oldest and most unique designs; the C12 Civilian. The Civilian was developed in response to a request from a U.S. federal law enforcement agency whose agents were regularly involved in undercover narcotics operations. In many cases, their undercover status made it impossible for them to carry firearms, so they wanted a knife that could serve as a potent defensive weapon when wielded with gross motor skills and a minimum of training. Spyderco's founder, Sal Glesser, designed the original Civilian to meet this need and in the process earned a patent on its distinctive Reverse "S" edge profile. The sinuous edge shape maximizes the cutting potential of the blade by forcing the material being cut to move longitudinally along the curves of the edge as pressure is applied with the blade.
The Civilian design evolved over the years, but as a limited-production item and one of the world's most visually dramatic folding knives, it always attracted great interest. In the late 1990's, Spyderco's South African distributor requested a more economical version of the Civilian. Due to the high crime rate in South Africa, he felt it would be an ideal personal-defense tool. Spyderco responded by mating a Civilian-style blade to the fiberglass-reinforced nylon (FRN) handle of the popular Endura model. The result was the first Matriarch and yet another "instant classic."
The original Matriarch was produced with both gray and black handle for several years before being discontinued. In 2010, a flat-ground, brown-handled "sprint" run (a limited one-time production run of a particular variant) of the Matriarch was produced, once again igniting interest in the design an prompting its return as a regular production model: the Matriarch 2.
Construction and Materials
The Matriarch 2 is built on the handle of Spyderco's extremely popular Endura 4 design. Its full skeletonized stainless steel liners provide an outstanding balance of strength and lightweight, while its injection-molded FRN handle boasts Bi-Directional Texturing for a superior grip in even the most demanding conditions. A sturdy back lock mechanism locks the blade securely in the open position and a Boye dent in the lock bar helps prevent unintentional lock release. Screw-together construction and phosphor-bronze washers ensure maximum precision and smooth operation.
The blade of the Matriarch 2 is hollow ground from VG-10 stainless steel and features the signature Reverse "S" edge profile of the classic Civilian, which is designed to maximize cutting performance with all areas of its edge. It's point is thicker than the Civilian for increased strength and strategically shaped to nest discreetly into the handle in the closed position. A trademark Spyderco Round Hole provides positive one-handed deployment of the blade with either hand, ensuring that the user can get the knife into action quickly and reliably.
The Matriarch 2 also offers unmatched versatility with regard to carry options. Its four-position hourglass clip is adjustable for left or right-side tip-up or tip-down carry. Together with the lock operation and blade hole, this feature makes the Matriarch 2 completely ambidextrous and an ideal choice for left-handed users or armed professionals who prefer support-side carry on their knives.
The Matriarch 2 combines the unique heritage of the Spyderco Civilian family with the proven design features and economical construction of the best-selling Endura 4. The result is a knife that offers powerhouse cutting performance in a practical everyday-carry format.
