Urban Ontology: Rethinking Urban Design
A small crowd assembles in Eyebeam's mainspace. Rows of red, metal chairs have been hastily arranged facing an elevated stage upon which perches a pair of welcoming armchairs. Two artists will soon be dialog, Eyebeam fellow Mark Shepard and honorary resident Jordan Crandall. For many years, both artists have been engaged with problems of data and urbanism, an interest that has inflected their respective works at Eyebeam. Mark and Jordan have organized this evening's dialogue to discuss the following prompt: What constitutes the urban today? Or, perhaps more precisely: how might we think about the constitution of the urban today? It is a conversation that has been incubating for several months in Eyebeam's Urban Research Group.
The time has come: the assembled crowd takes their seats; introductions are made; the speakers settle into their soft, red armchairs. Mark and Jordan adjust the settings on their shared microphone and begin. The influence of complex urban systems on our everyday experiences in modern cities, they note, has become a popular topic of discussion among contemporary architects, technologists, designers, and artists. Yet, despite this profusion of discourse, there has been little clarity on what is meant by the term 'urban system'. Most formulations, they argue, are premised on an ontology of 'the overlay.' Imagine, for a moment, a transparency laid across a map of urban space. In this scenario, mobile information networks are superimposed over a static, preexisting city. It is a model that presupposes a primacy of the built environment—a world where wood, brick, and concrete carry a disproportional ontological weight. Such a framing posits that information cannot fundamentally effect the shape of urban space. While data may tint our experiences of urban environments, it does not substantially constitute those experiences.
This model of urban systems poses a problem. It does not allow for the kind of complex human-, non-human-, and information-based interactions that we know constitute today's urban systems. This is the problem on which the evening's discussions revolve. Mark taps his phone; a projector flashes on. Beyond the stage, an image appears on the large presentation screen: an ATM machine buried among crates of fresh fruit on a bustling, New York City street. Mark describes his research into the technical and political dynamics of these ubiquitous machines. They serve as a familiar and convenient emblem for urban ontologies more generally. ATM machines take form dynamically in urban locales as a contingent response to financial networks, city zoning regulations, private commercial interests, and the needs of urban consumers. City regulators and bodega owners, for example, have been at a kind of evolutionary arms race, redesigning storefront architecture, ATM technologies, and municipal policy in a struggle to outpace the other's perceived incursion on urban space. These ubiquitous machines are not overlaid on top of a preexisting environment, they become mutually co-constituting with the milieus they inhabit.
The microphone passes hands and the projected image changes. Jordan continues the discussion. We know urban systems are composed of complex interactions, but the components and dynamics of these networks are not always readily apparent. How can we disassemble such unseen networks into objects and interactions that can be made readily visible? Towering behind the presenters is a scene of disruption: traffic is congested on a busy thoroughfare as a maintenance worker descends below the city street to repair a breakdown in the system. Consider this momentary disjunction, the way it reveals the workings of the city. Jordan proposes investigating such moments of failure as opportunities to witness the conditions under which urban systems normally operate. As a system begins to stutter, fumble, and collapse, its previously unnoticed components begin to disassemble, its intricate dance spirals apart. A burst water main is harder to ignore after it has lost its ubiquitous, quiet flow. In order to understand urban systems, we need techniques for visualizing their constituents and the ways those constituents interact. Jordan proposes moments of disruption as a possible window for witnessing such occurrences. Perhaps there are others.
The character of these urban ontologies has been that of assemblage, process, and interaction; nothing is bounded, stable, or isolated for very long. It can be hard to think this ontology of becoming. I find the physiology of vision to be instructive when immersing in this assemblage-oriented mindset. Human sight is the accomplishment of a series of multiform, interacting components: our lenses relax or contract to focus light onto our retina, exciting rods and cones that transmit pulses of information to complex neural clusters which parse these signals for configurations of significance. Occasionally, we expand the capacities of these components with supplementary technologies (contact lenses, spectacles, microscopes, telescopes). When we weary of such routines, we are driven to modify the operation of our body's components: sometimes permanently (laser sculpting the surface of the eye), sometimes transitorily (using psychoactive substances to transform what becomes neurologically parsed as significant phenomenon). Sometimes what we want to see has no apparent form, in those cases we conjure algorithms to render the invisible visible—through visualization techniques, we create objects and images to stand in for what cannot be sensed.
As architects, technologists, designers, and artists continue to experiment with the assemblage of urban systems, it is important to consider the ways those systems are made visible, recognizable, sensible, and hackable. A certain kind of politics lies behind the incorporation of these concerns with visibility and interactivity. In fact, I pose a challenge to such urban engineers: how do we democratize participation, engagement, and creation of urban systems? That is, how do we move beyond merely recognizing the complex unfolding of urban systems? How might we begin to more substantially participate in their continued unfolding?

Limbaugh flunked on federal education spending
Research ››› ››› ANDREW SEIFTER
On his June 30 nationally syndicated radio show, host Rush Limbaugh grossly overstated U.S. federal spending on education. In discussing the federal budget, Limbaugh stated, "[W]e spend over two times on education already, what we spend on defense." This followed Limbaugh's miscalculations from his September 18, 2003, program, when he insisted that "today, 2003, the federal budget is over 2.2 trillion [dollars], and ... we're spending $745 billion on education," while "we spend $300 billion a year on defense, the defense of the country, for crying out loud. We're spending close to three times that on education."
In fact, the U.S. federal government spends almost seven times more on defense than on education. According to the Executive Office of the President's Office of Management and Budget, the portion of the federal budget allocated to the Department of Education in 2003 was $53.1 billion --14 times less than the $745 billion that Limbaugh asserted on air -- while federal spending for the Department of Defense in 2003 was $365.3 billion. The estimated budget for the Department of Education is $55.7 billion for 2004 and $57.3 billion for 2005. Estimated Defense spending for 2004 is $375.3 billion; but in 2005, the planned spending for the Department of Defense jumps to $401.7 billion -- $36.4 billion more than was spent in 2003.
Limbaugh's estimates likely derive from a report by the conservative Heritage Foundation, which calculated total federal, state, and local spending for education -- both public and private -- to be $745 billion for the 2001-2002 school year.

The list had Allison giggling in her cubicle like a schoolgirl. Click here to read the whole story.
This weekend I made my first excursion to a Family History Center. Practically every article we publish in Family Tree Magazine recommends going to your local FHC, not only because you have access to the Family History Library's massive collection of microfilm but also because the volunteers are so helpful!
I gathered my ever-growing file folder of notes and photocopies and headed to the FHC in Norwood, Ohio, to see what I could find. The center is only open for a few hours a day, and since it was a Saturday, there were researchers at nearly every microfilm and computer station.
I struck up a conversation with the volunteers and learned quite a bit about their holdings. The Norwood FHC has many rolls of microfilm on permanent hold from the FHL, and quite an impressive selection of Cincinnati-specific records. They've got most of their rolls of film indexed in the card catalog you see above. (The volunteers recommend asking before you request any roll of microfilm to double-check if it is available locally. You could save $5.50!)
Most of my family is in Northeastern Ohio, but I did find a roll of Cuyahoga County birth records in the local holdings. One of the volunteers retrieved it for me and helped me get set up at a microfilm reader, and I began poking around the index and the recorded births. My great-grandmother's birth record didn't appear to be on the roll, but the index for her year did not seem to be complete. An FHC volunteer told me that births in the early 1900s were often recorded months or even years after the fact, so there's no telling where my great-grandmother would show up.
I did make one big discovery while I was at the FHC—I found out that I get very queasy looking at microfilm. Will this be the end of my genealogy quest?

This project by San Francisco–based Gensler takes the typical airport lounge, where passengers passively wait, and transforms it into a dynamic space that engages travelers as they prepare for their trips. Located in Incheon Airport, the lounge includes a custom vending machine, dreamlike art videos, and personalized flight tracking.
Jury: "The project takes an innovative approach to the airline lounge model, effectively establishing a unique relationship between the passenger and the space. … The well-conceived assimilation of technology engages the traveler in both the 'black box' and the surrounding walls that integrate helpful passenger-flight-status flipscreens."
Client: "Design is a core part of our business. At HyundaiCard, we are not just selling credit lines. To support our customers' lifestyle, we design solutions … [and] customer experience. What I particularly love about our lounge is the vending machine. People can swipe their cards and grab the thing they forgot to bring. People appreciate the simple beauty of the space—white, clean, and modern. And they are even more surprised to find out how practical and functional it is." —Sukjoon Won, Chief Marketing Officer, HyundaiCard

Standing in the middle of the magnificent piazza San Marco is an experience in itself: Napoleon referred to it as the 'drawing room of Europe', apt today as, at times, it appears that much of Europe's population is crammed into this great square. But it's St Mark's basilica (Basilica di San Marco), often seen as the living testimony of Venice's links with Byzantium; Doge's Palace, once Venice's political and judicial hub; and Torre dell'Orologio, a clock tower built between 1496 and 1506, that are, not just the square's, but some of the city's main attractions.

No trip to Venice would be complete without a punt down one of the city's picturesque waterways in an iconic gondola. The Istituzione per la Conservazione della Gondola e Tutela del Gondoliere (Gondola Board; 041 528 5075, www.gondolavenezia.it) website has recommended itineraries. Prices below are for the hire of the gondola, for six passengers or less. Having your own personal crooner will push the fare up.
8am-7pm €80 for 40mins; €40 for each additional 20mins. 7pm-8am €100 for 40mins; €50 for each additional 20mins.
Venice is a unique and precious repository of art. From the late Middle Ages until the mid 18th century, artists of the highest caliber left thier mark all over the city and works by Venice's grand masters Titian (c1488-1576), Tintoretto (c1518-94), Canaletto (1697-1768) and Tiepolo (1727-1804) can still be viewed in situ today. See Titian's glorious 'Assumption' above the high altar at I Frari, Tintoretto's epic masterpiece 'Crucifixion' at Scuola Grande di San Rocco, and Tiepolo's monumental frescos at the Pietà and Ca' Rezzonico.
For a one-stop-shop of Venice's foremost artistic treasures, head for the Gallerie dell'Accademia.

Italians are assiduous frequenters of their favourite bar for an evening aperitivi. At aperitivo time Venice's cool crowd line up drinks and cicheti (snacks) in the bars at the north-western foot of the Rialto bridge. Stake your claim at a Grand Canal-facing table at Naranzaria or Bancogiro. Alternatively, head to Ardidos for the coolest design, Al Marcà for an ombra (bit of shade) on the hoof or Skyline Bar for a drink with a view.

At almost 99m (325ft), the Campanile is the city's tallest building, originally built between 888 and 912 (in July 1902 it collapsed, imploding in a neat pyramid of rubble. It was rebuilt exactly 'as it was, where it was', as the town council of the day promised). Holy Roman Emperor Frederick III rode a horse to the top of the original in 1451; these days visitors take the lift. The view is superb, taking in the Lido, the whole lagoon and (on a clear day) the Dolomites in the distance.

A wonderful way to take in the Grand Canal is on board a vaporetto (a rounded 230-passenger boat). The canal may no longer be teeming with merchandise-laden cargo boats, but it is still the main thoroughfare of Venice, and only a little imagination is needed to understand its historical importance. The three and a half kilometre (two-mile) trip from the railway station to San Marco provides a superb introduction to the city, telling you more about the way Venice works – and has always worked – than any historical tome. Every family of note had to have a palazzo here, and this was not just for reasons of social snobbery. The palazzi are undeniably splendid but they were first and foremost solid commercial enterprises, and their designs are as practical as they are eye-catching.
Vaporetto tickets can be purchased at most stops, at tabacchi (tobacconists, identified by a white T on a black or blue background) and at Hellovenezia offices (see Tickets & passes). On board, you can only buy single tickets. Tickets are for single trips (€6.50 – valid 60mins on multiple boats), 12hrs (€16), 24hrs (€18), 36hrs (€23), 48hrs (€28), 72hrs (€33) or seven days (€50). The fare for a shuttle journey (ie one stop across the Grand Canal, the hop across to the Giudecca, or from Sant'Elena to the Lido) is €2.

Venice has a contemporary art scene that lives up to its glorious art history. An impressive 77 nations sent works by 90 artists to the 2009 Biennale (see festivals and events in Venice) a two-yearly artistic bunfight where deals are hatched and hopefuls vie with big names for a piece of the action. The Peggy Guggenheim Collection of 20th-century masters has long been the city's third most visited attraction, while the Punta della Dogana, which opened in 2009, brought works by contemporary giants including Dan Flavin, Jeff Koons, Jean Tinguely and Rachel Whiteread to the city.

The wine-growing area that stretches from the Veneto north-east to Friuli is, after Tuscany and Piedmont, one of Italy's strongest, with good whites like tocai and soave backed up by solid reds like valpolicella and cabernet franc. This means that, even in Venice's humbler establishments, you'll find that the house wine is often surprisingly refined. Try Pane, Vino e San Daniele – a chain specialising in the wine and ham of the Friuli region; La Favorita, which has a fine selection of bottles from the north-east; Alla Maddalena, where the house wine comes from the family's own vineyards; Alle Testiere, which has a small but well-chosen wine list; and Naranzaria, a nouveau-bacaro which offers a selection of fine wines – many of them produced by co-owner Brandino Brandolini.

For many, experiencing Vivaldi in Venice is an absolute must. But more discerning music-lovers might feel somewhat Baroqued out by the predictable programmes performed by local groups, whose technical ability rarely goes beyond the so-so to fairly good range. Exceptions are the Venice Baroque Orchestra, a global success, and the orchestra of La Fenice, one of the best in the country. As well as its opera and ballet seasons, La Fenice has at least two concert seasons a year. The Teatro Malibran shares the Fenice's programmes and also has its own chamber music season, with performances by the Società Veneziana dei Concerti.
Mestre's Teatro Toniolo also has a symphony and chamber music season. Most other musical events take place in Venice's churches or scuole. St Mark's basilica holds a smattering of ceremonial concerts throughout the year, with the patriarch deciding who is to attend. But lovers of sacred music should catch one of two regular Sunday appointments: the sung Mass at St Mark's (10.30am) and the Gregorian chant on the island of San Giorgio (11am).

Most Venetians agree that some of the city's best gelato is served in Boutique del Gelato, a tiny outlet on busy salizzada San Lio. Be prepared to be patient though, because there's always a huge crowd waiting to be served. See it as quality assurance – it's worth the wait.
At Alaska Gelateria-Sorbetteria Carlo Pistacchi is passionate about making ice-cream and experimenting with new flavours using only the freshest natural ingredients. Stick to tried and true choices such as hazelnut or yoghurt, or branch out to sample seasonally changing exotic flavours, such as artichoke, fennel, asparagus or ginger.

Part meeting house, part art gallery – Venice's scuole merit some study. Scuole – a blend of art-treasure house and social institution – are uniquely Venetian establishments. Essentially, they were devotional lay brotherhoods, subject to the state rather than the church.
In Venice's complicated system of social checks and balances they gave citizens of wealth – but no hope of ever entering the ruling elite – a place to feel they exerted some influence. The earliest were founded in the 13th century; by the 15th century, there were six scuole grandi and as many as 400 minor scuole. Scuola Grande di San Rocco, Scuola Grande di San Marco and recently reopened Scuola Grande di San Giovanni Evangelista – were mainly drawn from the wealthier professional classes, the humbler scuole piccole were exclusively devotional groups, trade guilds or confraternities of foreign communities (such as the Scuola di San Giorgio degli Schiavoni).
The wealthier confraternities devoted a great deal of time and expense to beautifying their meeting houses (the scuole themselves), sometimes hiring one major painter to decorate the whole building; this was the case of Tintoretto at San Rocco and Carpaccio at San Giorgio degli Schiavoni. These buildings are essential viewing for anyone interested in the works of these artists.

To the east of campo Santo Stefano, campiello Pisani is overlooked by the impressive 17th-century Palazzo Pisani, now the music conservatory. The palace was used for the shoot-out at the end of the 2006 James Bond film Casino Royale. An earlier Bond came to blows in the Torre dell'Orologio.
Film buffs should also recognise the church of San Nicolò dei Mendicoli from Nicolas Roeg's dwarf-in-Venice movie Don't Look Now. Other locations used include the recently opened Palazzo Grimani where the gruesome final scene was shot.
Giudecca's women's prison produces some amazing goods. Behind the high walls of a 13th-century former convent on the fondamenta delle Convertite, the 80-odd inmates of the Casa di Reclusione Femminile (women's prison) run a tailors' workshop, which hit the headlines some years ago when it came up with faithful reproductions of splendid 18th-century costumes for Palazzo Mocenigo. The workshop continues to produce period costumes – for purchase, and to hire at Carnevale time – but also does a healthy business in contemporary clothes, sequin-encrusted bags, jewellery, a variety of accessories and cushions in plush brocades, all of which are on sale at Banco No.10 (Castello 3478, salizada Sant'Antonin), near the church of San Giovanni in Bragora.

The lagoon city has a long and glorious culinary tradition based on fresh seafood. A writhing, glistening variety of sea creatures swims from the stalls of the Rialto and Chioggia markets into local kitchens. Going with the flow of la cucina veneta requires a certain spirit of openminded experimentation. Not everybody has eaten granseola (spider crab) before, or garusoli (sea snails) or canoce (mantis shrimps), but Venice is definitely the place to try these marine curios.

Carnevale, the world's largest and most famous masked ball, has existed since the Middle Ages, but it came into its own in the 18th century. Today, visitors to the pre-Lenten event flock to piazza San Marco, where professional poseurs in ornate (and exorbitant) costumes occupy prime spots and wait for the world's press photographers to immortalise them. Venetians, on the other hand, organise private masked and costumed celebrations, or gather in smaller squares.

Generations of visitors to Verona have crowded the courtyard of a pretty 13th-century palazzo, gazing enraptured at a balcony cunningly tacked on to the first floor in the 1920s, leaving their entwined signatures on graffiti-covered walls and having a furtive rub of the shiny right breast of a 20th-century bronze of Shakespeare's best-loved heroine. But it wasn't until 2009 that Verona's town council had the bright idea of turning the so-called Casa di Giulietta (Juliet's House, Via Cappello 23, 045 803 4303. Open 1.30-7.30pm Mon; 8.30am-7,30pm Tue-Sun. Admission €6; €4.50 reductions) into the world's most sought-after wedding location… at a price.
For a fee ranging from €600 (for local residents) to €800 (for EU citizens) or even €1,000 (for those from outside the EU), lovers can tie the knot in the courtyard beneath the balcony. The various tariffs, the city council insists, reflect the different costs of the paperwork involved in getting people wed. And they're a bargain compared to civil services in Venice, where EU citizens can pay anything up to €1,800 and those from outside the EU up to €4,200.
Regular train services between Venice and Verona take between 75-90mins. If you go by car, take the A4 La Serenissima motorway.
To the usual Italian breakfast, light snacks, pastries and alcoholic beverages routine, Venice contributes its own specialities: the ombra and the spritz. The former is a tiny glass of wine – bianco or rosso – which is knocked back in no time and is often the whole point of a giro di ombre – an ombra-crawl around selected bacari (the accent is on the first 'a'). A spritz is an aperitivo of white wine, Campari and a shot of seltzer or sparkling water; a sweeter version is made with low-alcohol Aperol. Also flowing freely into Venetian glasses are prosecco, the bubbly white made in the hills of the Veneto region, and spento, a bubble-free version of the same wine.

Ottico Fabbricatore is a one-stop shop for putting together a look of effortless Italian elegance. A few key pieces seemingly thrown together will create a stylish look that's hard to emulate if your usual shopping haunts are budget high-street clothing shops. These key pieces tend to include great sunglasses, something in cashmere and a fabulous bag. As the name suggests, this ultra-modern shop specialises in designer eyewear – the kind you won't find anywhere else in Italy, with extraordinary frames in anything from buffalo horn to titanium. Run by a husband-and-wife team – optician Francesco Lincetto and designer Marianna Leardini – the boutique also sells gossamer-like cashmere and sensual silk apparel.
The couple have recently extended their store, adding an upstairs space dedicated to clothing, along with a selection of luxurious bags that were designed by Marianna in materials ranging from calfskin to ostrich. Ottico Fabbricatore may not be able to turn you into a perfectly groomed Italian, but it will certainly help you make serious inroads into your holiday cash while trying.

I went to venice last year, most beautiful place.
There isnt much to do there but serious just go and get lost round all the back streets and stuff, lots of steps and eat loads and loads of pizza!
This place sounds amazing!
Number 18 Verona is a city in it's own right, lots to see there. https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/2592891
I bet Venice is great I want to go there soon.
Shouldn't this be called the best 21 things to do in Venice, since there are
two number 8s?

I'll take a gondola through the canal with my boyfriend. Doesn't know but I've planned the entire thing out!!! :) It couldn't have been possible if the airfares weren't so amazingly priced that I could save a lot to spend on the trip details bit.ly/1Da11sS

I confirm what Jane said before, I booked a food/wine tour in www.venicewinetour.com and it was amazing, the wine and the tapas were delicious. 50 euros was a really fair price for a food tour like this. Highly recommended!
Venice2munchen the price. We will contact you with your friends. I 59, but I only add.Sorry I will have a great Christmas, so you can help me with the same time as well as the best. The only time that the new year to you for help in making a difference between what I can see in a while. I'm a little bit more about this. The best part of my life. The first thing in
Joe (June 17) your comments are offensive and Achi, Americans are not all like him. One should always be respectful of locals, make an effort to speak the language and respect local customs. Also don't EXPECT everyone to speak English. Joe should stay home and not embarrass the rest of us.
I visit Venice quite often and always go out of my way to drop into the Gualti shop while there. The pieces, the shop, and the designer are all fabulous. I have several items of his jewelry as well as scarves. They all generate oohs and aahs when I wear them and also make me feel quite glamorous...look here : https://www.facebook.com/gualti.venezia
Be happy to have so much toirism, thanks to their spending, you have a living.... Othewise you will be long dead fron starvation .....
Imagine one moment all the money tourist spend in renting hotels. Boats, eating, drinking..... Where will all those italian workers get money from if tourism had to go to somewhere else..... I find your statment bit stupid.....
please, if you come to Venice, be careful and kind to locals! Venice is not Veniceland, it is real city with people living in, and too much turism!
Excellent list! one more: we've been in Venice last week and we had a wonderful time with this organized tour: www.venicewinetour.com , if you want to know more about the local wine and food culture and go for a great guided walk through Venice, just go. Great value for money

I've been the past week in Venice and one of the things I liked the most was the tour of the traditional bars in the city called "Baccaro"
I think it's one of the best things to do in Venice to plunge into the atmosphere of the city.
I tried this tour www.bacarotourvenice.com
the guides were nice and the food and wine excellent, I recommend everyone to try it

Body found in park in Goose Creek
WCBD-TV: News, Weather, and Sports for Charleston, SC
From our News Partners at WCBD-TV:
Two kids were playing when they found the body near a playground at the park. They contacted their parents, who called police around 5:00 p.m.
The park is located just off Liberty Hall Road in Goose Creek. Right now the park is closed, and police have cordoned off portions of the park with police tape. Police say the park was closed to vehicle traffic today due to some recent vandalism.
Coroner Bill Salisbury tells News 2 that SLED is now on scene to help identify the man.
A SLED agent was already in the area for an unrelated issue. Salisbury says the SLED agent has a fingerprint scanning device on his phone that may be able to be used to quickly identify the man.
Kimberly Miller lives in Longleaf subdivision next to Dogwood Park. She says this discovery is shocking, "it's like a stone's throw from our house. It's kind of a scary thought, actually, that it was that close to us."
An autopsy is being performed. That is expected to be completed Thursday.

ONE of the world's greatest minds enjoyed the champagne lifestyle and a visit to the cathedral during a visit to Hereford.
Stephen Hawking, author of A Brief History of Time, was in Hereford as one of a party of eminent physicists visiting the city's cathedral, where they saw the famous Mappa Mundi.
Canon Chris Pullin, who led the group around the Mappa Mundi exhibition, said: "We were delighted to welcome them to the exhibition. Having recently been to NASA in Houston, Texas, it was fascinating to be able to talk to these eminent scientists about the relationship between the understanding of the world in the early 14th century, when the map was created, and that glorious view we now have of the world from space."
And following the cathedral visit, Professor Hawking and his colleagues visited Saxty's bar for a champagne tatinmg event.
Owner Edward Symonds said: "We had a phone call saying that Stephen and his people were going to come in last Friday because he wanted to take them out for the evening. We couldn't believe it at first, but we were told that he was staying locally and that he wanted to attend.
"He asked for a Bloody Mary and had a couple of glasses of champagne. He took part in what was going on and stayed for about two-and-a-half hours.
"Everyone who was there couldn't believe that one of the greatest living scientists was in the building – to be in his presence was just unbelievable," said Mr Symonds. "We had a couple of photos with him and he was happy for us to tell people that he was there.
"We have had a lot of different people come there over the years, but Stephen is in a different league."

ONTARIO - Children came home from school to a chaotic scene on their usually-quiet Ontario street Thursday. News trucks blocked S. Palm Avenue as Ontario Police Department investigators searched a home for evidence that may lead detectives to a Laguna Hills man missing since last year.
"They've been out here since early this morning," said Rosa Rodriguez who lives only a few houses away from the mustard-colored home in the 1700 block of S. Palm Avenue which had become the focal point of the investigation Thursday. "They were out here yesterday early, too and they didn't leave until almost 4 p.m."
Ontario police officials received information about 29-year-old truck driver Oscar Escobar which led them to the home, Sgt. David McBride, spokesman for the police department said.
"Right now we're not looking for a body," said McBride as a bobcat was brought to the scene to help move pieces of broken up pavement from the back yard. "At this point, we're just meticulously searching the scene for evidence in this case."
Officers served a search warrant at the home Wednesday and interviewed several people, but McBride said no one was arrested at that time. Neighbors said they saw at least three people, two women and a man, taken from the location handcuffed.
Escobar was reported missing to the Orange County Sheriff's Department in August of last year, McBride said. After the 29-year-old truck driver made a delivery, a friend dropped Escobar off at Mango Street and Foothill Boulevard in Fontana, he said.
Two cadaver dogs, one from the Orange County Sheriff's Department and another with the Los Angeles County Coroner's office, went through the home searching for any clues that may lead officials to Escobar's whereabouts, McBride said.
The residential street, which will usually allow children to play safely in the roadway with little threat from traffic, was overtaken by police vehicles, news vans and curious residents from surrounding neighborhoods. At least four news helicopters hovered over the area to the annoyance of some residents.
"I'm about done with all of the helicopters," said Laura Bedoy who lives on the northern end of S. Palm Avenue. "They've been out since earlier today and the sound is driving me crazy."
Bedoy and others out Thursday evening watching the spectacle unfold were shocked the search for the missing man had made it's way to their neighborhood.
"I'm out late sometimes and I don't ever feel scared," Bedoy said. "It's usually really calm around here. I can't believe it." Ontario detectives said they expect to be at the Palm Avenue address until tonight and they will most likely return Friday.

Neat vid. That girl was out in Santa Cruz without a wetsuit!?!?
my kinda woman!
wow you would think the swarming gulls and the bait ball would be an indication there was something big lurking.
I read the story on this, and I think they may have been trying to paddle out next to the whales? not positive? That would scary the **** out of me...
Pucker factor to the max.
I dont have any whale experience, but no way in hell would I stay put after seeing that beast surface. One flap of a fin to the face and see ya. (That girl can have a look at my whale bone anytime!)
in PR i saw a whale breach a few times while i was surfing marias. it definitely wasn't anywhere near as close as this one, but seeing something that big in the water with you is definitely pretty humbling
Look close, it is actually TWO whales.
I think Capt. JAQ is right. Definitely some serious pucker factor. It is hard to tell how close they are, distance can become very compressed on film... cool vid!

Frankenstein/lower reading leavel
Date: Tue Dec 14 2004 - 10:02:40 EST
I am a high school librarian looking for a publishing company which publishes classics for a lower level reading class in high school. I want to use the book with sophomores, but cannot use the present text. It is too difficult to understand. Is there a company publishing the book for lower-reading levels? Thanks.

Gutted for Craig. His opponent couldn't even be bothered to try for 88kgs next day when he should have made 84kgs on the day. Our sport has weight categories for a reason. He would have fought Luke if he had made weight. Does Luke think that Craig Robertson is scared of him? The guys got a tattoo on the end of his cock! Of a fecking Dragon, Luke! A fecking Dragon, I'm telling you! Luke!. That's not a man to be trifled with. I've seen it and I fear him all the more. A bit because I'm sharing a hotel room with it and him. The Indigo Hotel in erm...Newcastle. So he can't have gone home can he?
He'll fight you next time. Just make the weight eh? Oh and check his facebook site to see if he went home Luke. You'll see him there enjoying the show with his friends. Who admire him for doing his job. Luke.

De Standaard, a Flemish-language Belgian daily, carried a report titled "A Creationist Book for French-Speaking Schools" on 24 March, 2007. The report, by Peter De Backer, stated:
"All the schools in Wallonia have received books sent out for the struggle against Darwinism... This 800-page book objects to Darwin's theory of evolution. The book, based on the Qur'an, espouses creation… The Turkish author, Harun Yahya (Adnan Oktar's pen name) holds the adherents of Darwin responsible for terror.
The thousands of photographs of fossils in the coffee-table book-sized Atlas show that life forms dating back to prehistory are the same as specimens living today. According to the author, this fact directly proves that living things did not evolve, for which reason Darwin's theory of evolution is completely erroneous.
The book has been sent out to thousands of schools in France, Germany and Holland. And now the French-speaking part of Belgium is receiving the books. In the Flanders region only universities have so far been targeted..."2008-10-02 01:11:55

Arthur, Merlin and Lancelot
Because they looked so similar to their predecessors many patrons did not realize that these three were different gerbils, but they have distinct differences. Arthur, often mistaken for Hickory, was a standard brown gerbil not a pied agouti, Merlin was a black gerbil rather than a slate like Doc. Lancelot was a Siamese like Dickory. Arthur loved to run on the wheel, while Merlin was the chow hound and wound up twice the size a gerbil should be! Lancelot was the low man on the totem pole and was often ganged up on by Arthur and Merlin. Despite this bullying the three were avid cuddlers and preferred to sleep on their backs like humans which often concerned our patrons. In later life Arthur broke a tooth and required monthly dental treatments at the vet.

Taser fails to phase man on bath salts
Friday afternoon, East Precinct officers responded to the Best Value Inn, located at 3310 Southeast 82nd Avenue, on the report of an unwanted subject in one of the rooms.
As officers were responding to the scene, they learned that the subject, 31-year-old Randy Craig Sturdevant, had an outstanding parole violation detainer.
Officers arrived and contacted Sturdevant in the doorway of his room. Officers noticed that Sturdevant appeared to be under the influence of drugs and/or alcohol and that he was armed with a metal bar.
Sturdevant was non-complaint with officers' commands to drop the bar and instead tried to shut the door and jump out a second story window. Officers began to struggle with Sturdevant and during the struggle he was Tased. Sturdeveant fought through multiple Taser cycles and continued to fight with officers until he was taken into custody. Ultimately it took five officers to get Sturdevant handcuffed.
Sturdevant was transported to a Portland hospital for treatment to what appeared to be a drug-induced psychosis. Officers later learned that Sturdevant was under the influence of "bath salts."
Several officers received minor injuries during the struggle to get Sturdevant into custody.
After his release from the hospital, Sturdevant was booked into the Multnomah County Jail on his parole violation detainer as well as charges of Escape in the Third Degree and Resisting Arrest.

The two women, who have five Summer Olympics between them, were named as members of the US Olympic Bobsled team after a tense wait last night, reports NBC. "The biggest honor I'll ever have in my life is representing Team USA," says Jones, whose quest to make the team involved plenty of double bacon cheeseburgers. "I'm overwhelmed with emotions."

They had a little table between them with the contents of my wallet and backpack spread out on it.
"Handsome glassware," Auguste said, seating himself and carefully setting his backpack between his feet.
Opening his backpack, he took out his leather medicine bag and drew out the stones one by one, rubbing his fingers over each.

EVERETT — "Why don't we sing a warm-up song?" asked the Rev. Jocelyn Carson, pastor of Trinity Lutheran Church.
Carson was signaling the beginning of the monthly hymn sign and celebration of communion at Washington Oaks, an Everett retirement center. She was joined by Clara Griffin, the church's music director, who played the hymns on the piano.
They began with "Blessed Assurance."
Carson spoke briefly of the six weeks of Lent. "God has your back," she said. "Those are good words to think about during Lent."
Then the group of about 10 people who gathered for the worship service recited the 23rd Psalm in unison.
They next turned the pages of their songbooks to "Beneath The Cross of Jesus."
"Amazing Grace" seemed to trigger a lifetime of memories for 83-year-old Bob Erickson.
"My dad and mom loved that song and played it every chance they could get," he said.
Erickson later said that he has had long ties with Trinity Lutheran. He was married there, and his children were confirmed there.
Trinity's worship service is one part of a pastoral program at Washington Oakes.
The Rev. Jeff Russell, the pastor of Everett's Central Lutheran Church, leads Bible studies there each month.
"It's a nice way to include folks," Russell said. "It's really important for the church to make sure those people are cared for in their senior years."
Mark Markuly, dean of the Seattle University School of Theology and Ministry, said that the school's curriculum includes a discussion of the issues people encounter as they age.
"There's different physical needs and medical needs as you get older, also different emotional and spiritual needs," he said.
"I don't know a congregation that doesn't have a deep commitment to the elderly," he said.
Bertha Enger, 94, said she has been attending the monthly worship services at Washington Oakes for about a year.
Enger said she's been a long-time member of Trinity, but she sometimes it's hard for her to get up early enough to attend its Sunday services.
The monthly worship services and Bible study program "means a lot to me," she said. "Both the pastors are very good."
Annie Rue, 93, said she's been attending the monthly worship services since they were launched at Washington Oaks about two years ago.
"My faith in the Lord is at the top of the list of important things in life and has been since I was a child," Rue said.
Russell said he looks forward to the time he spends with people at the retirement center.
"It's a great privilege to sit down and hear them talk about their lives, the ups and downs, and what faith has meant to them and how God has used them in a variety of ways," he said.

Hampshire County Council has welcomed the Government's announcement that it is to receive £6.126 million of additional capital maintenance funding for maintaining and improving highways. The funding will be made available over the next two financial years with the respective splits of £3.990 million in 2013/14 and £2.126 million in 2014/15.
Councillor Mel Kendal, executive member for transport, said: "Highways maintenance is one of our top priorities. "Over three years ago, we made a commitment to invest in a multi-million pound long term strategy, with Operation Resilience, to refurbish our highway infrastructure with the focus being on improving the structural resilience of Hampshire's roads and footways. "This additional funding will enable us to extend the scope of work to include schemes we would not have had the money to do otherwise." Hampshire County Council is responsible for maintaining over 5,500 miles of road and pavements in the county (excluding Portsmouth and Southampton). "The Operation Resilience programme is in addition to the County Council's spend of almost £60 million per annum on general highways maintenance." In the current financial year, Operation Resilience has strengthened a total of over 150 miles of roads and footways, making them more resilient and better able to withstand the effects of extremes in weather conditions and increasing traffic (pedestrians, cyclists and motorised vehicles). The County Council will now begin to identify where this additional funding will be spent on Hampshire's roads and footways over the next two years. When the additional programme has been agreed, it will be available to view on the County Council's website.

Alex Rodriguez Gossip
Alex Rodriguez gossip, latest news, photos, and video.
The "future" of JLO & ARod
Jennifer Lopez and Alex Rodriguez went to the gym together yesterday in Miami – you can see the photos here Full Story
JLO & ARod: the minibreak
Jennifer Lopez and Alex Rodriguez spent the weekend in the Bahamas. I'm supposed to tell you that it was "romantic" minibreak. Full Story
JLO & ARod
Which, I guess, makes J-Rod. But I think I like A-Lo better because A-Lo reminds me of Asshole. And Alex Rodriguez is one. Which totally makes sense. Jennifer Lopez Full Story
Patronising Cameron Diaz
A-Rod was asked about Cameron Diaz in a new interview. "I don't like talking about my relationships, but I will tell you about CD: She's probably one of the greatest human beings I've ever met, and just an amazing light." Which means he totally dumped her ass, messed with her head and her heart, and is now patting her on the head, like, what we had was good, girl, but what we had is over; you need to move on now. Full Story
George Clooney's New Year's wish
Bauer-Griffin, Flynet
What do you think it is...as he stares adoringly at ARod and his ass? I'm sure it's just an awkwardly timed photo. George and his girlfriend Stacy Keibler are in Mexico with all his closest friends. Stacy seems to be getting on well with all the Clooney Crew WAGs, especially Cindy Crawford. But Cindy must be so used to this by now too. Full Story
Gwyneth & Cammie on the road
After hanging out in London last week with Prince Philip who, obviously, was rather taken with Gwyneth Paltrow, G flew to New York the other day with Cameron Diaz. Wonder if Cameron Diaz will be featured in an upcoming issue of GOOP. Perhaps under the "Be" section. How to stop dating douchebags. Alex Rodriguez did not show up in the post season for the Yankees, did he? I mean no, Joe Girardi did not manage well, but for all that money and all that hype - doesn't he get paid the most out of anyone? - ARod's playoff performance was record-setting SH-T: the first player EVER to strike out as the final out on the same team two years in a row in the playoffs. Full Story
Gwynnie helps Cammie control the crazy?
Cameron Diaz is not good with breakups. Cammie becomes That Girl. We all know a girl who's That Girl. Or maybe we've all been That Girl. When I was 16 and a boy broke up with me for some bitch who looked like Reba McEntire, I drove to his house every night to see if she was over. She used to wear this really lame floppy hat and walk around asking people whether or not it "fazed" them. Full Story
Let this be permanent
Us Weekly is reporting that Cameron Diaz and Alex Rodriguez are done. For the second time. Apparently it was work schedules getting in the way...? I don't get it. The MLB season is almost over. Supposedly he's had a lot of injuries and wants to focus on his game. Full Story
Will Cam lose it over Christie?
It's a famous story and one that many enjoy recalling – after Justin Timberlake broke up with Cameron Diaz and hooked up with Jessica Biel, Cam gave him the gears for almost an hour at an awards show afterparty while an embarrassed Drew Barrymore looked on. Cam has said she will fly, far and wide, for cock. Full Story
I love you so much don't you know don't you know?
Cameron Diaz and Alex Rodriguez hit the gym together in New York the other day. The MLB season is officially underway. So she's fangirl #1, hoping to finally prove that her love can be just as winning as Kate Hudson's. Just look at the support. It's all over her face. I adore you. You're so great. Full Story
How much is too much?
Have received several emails already today about the cut-ness of Cameron Diaz's arms. Cam has always been pretty fit. And ARod likes his women fit. (Wasn't his wife a bodybuilder?) And you know, Cam's priority #1 right now is keeping him happy. So I guess she's extra fit right now. Full Story

Case Knives
For more than a century, W.R. Case & Sons Cutlery has been handcrafting premium knives exclusively in the United States. Case's distinction underscores its well-earned place as a genuine piece of Americana and the country's most popular collectible brand.
Slimlock Series:
W.R. Case and Sons Cutlery Company has released an outstanding pocket knife design; a first-rate "gentleman's companion" that Case calls the SlimLock. These exceptionally-crafted liner locking designs make up the John Russell Case Summit Collection, each featuring top-quality handle materials and a palate of high-end features including a unique drop-point blade design. The blade, made from BG-42 steel, is the first of its kind to be used in any Case production.
The SlimLock is available in a variety of fine handle materials like Abalone and Smooth Mother-of-Pearl, Amboyna and Smooth Chestnut hardwoods, a Rogers Jigged Dark Red or Ocean Blue Bone and Case's own 6.5 BoneStag.
The Drop-Point blade is flat-taper ground and made from domestic BG-42 steel; a bearing-grade composition with added carbon and vanadium to give improved strength and increased edge retention. Case has integrated a precision-locking pivot screw to an enhanced bolster design that adds stability and life to the SlimLock. A thumb stud provides safe and convenient one-handed opening.
Case credits John Russell ("Russ") Case with providing the inspiration for the SlimLock. The son of the company's namesake, William Russell ("W.R") Case, Russ was known for adopting the latest heat treatment techniques and incorporating new and exotic handle materials into his knife designs during the early twentieth century.
"Russ' legacy teaches us what can be achieved by selecting the highest-quality component materials and then blending our artisans' talents with state-of-the-art engineering and production methods," says John Sullivan, Case's Director of Marketing.
Designed with a vision that would make our founder proud, we consider the SlimLock® to be one of the most impressive of all the Case offerings. American-made alloy steel. Contemporary styling. Precisioncrafted. Smooth action. And seven handle material choices, ranging from genuine bone to eye-popping abalone. The SlimLock® collection–knives crafted by our hands to rest comfortably in yours.
Each Case SlimLock ships with a genuine leather carrying sheath, all in a custom storage pack.

Notification procedures:
An individual can determine if this system contains a record about him/her by writing to the system manager(s) at the above address and providing his/her name, SSN or other information that may be in the system of records that will identify him/her. An individual requesting notification of records in person should provide the same information, as well as provide an identity document, preferably with a photograph, such as a driver's license or some other means of identification. If an individual does not have any identification documents sufficient to establish his/her identity, the individual must certify in writing that he/she is the person claimed to be and that he/she understands that the knowing and willful request for, or acquisition of, a record pertaining to another individual under false pretenses is a criminal offense.

If an individual is requesting information by telephone on behalf of another individual, the subject individual must be connected with SSA and the requesting individual in the same phone call. SSA will establish the subject individual's identity (his/her name, SSN, address, date of birth and place of birth, along with one other piece of information, such as mother's maiden name) and ask for his/her consent in providing information to the requesting individual.
If a request for notification is submitted by mail, an individual must include a notarized statement to SSA to verify his/her identity or must certify in the request that he/she is the person claimed to be and that he/she understands that the knowing and willful request for, or acquisition of, a record pertaining to another individual under false pretenses is a criminal offense.

Thread: Overdue
23rd August 2011 06:59 AM #1
One of the most visited and commented on pages on Pregnancy Birth and Beyond is the one on being overdue. I thought it would be far better to start a thread on being overdue and any questions you may have. To start this thread off one of our website visitors asked the following:
Hi there, I am currently 40 weeks and 3 days overdue, I a booked in for a induction next wednesday 31st august 2011, how quickly wld i go into labout after being induced, wld it be on the day I cld have my baby or days after, I had c section with my 3 year old, so i had no real proper pain etc with her as she was brich,i had no contractions etc and she was 11 days early, so a natural birth to me is all quite frightening.Can you help, share your experience or offer suggestions?
23rd August 2011 07:05 AM #2
The success of going into labour depends on your body's readiness to go into labour. Your baby may be born on the day of the induction or the following day. Has your midwife or doctor explained the risks of induction of labour (particularly as you've had a previous caesarean)? Have you tried any natural strategies such as acupuncture, sex, nipple stimulation, homeopathic remedies? Are you able to see a midwife, childbirth educator or doula to provide information and support for your upcoming labour? You can search for a midwife, doula, childbirth educator (or other practitioner specialising in pregnancy and birth) on Pregnancy Birth and Beyonds "Find a Pratitioner" search.

I was a day overdue with my first son. They told me that I was not dilating at all. You know i tried everything for the baby to dilate as well. I was in the same situation as well. I was trying everything and it was not working at all, so I had to have a caesarean. They actually scheduled me for my second baby in March. I have to ask though why do they wait til you are overdue?

The more I learn about pregnancy and birth the more I see that the "Due Date" is so formulaic! I don't believe any other mammal births according to an exact date, and I think us human mothers are the same - we birth when our babies are ready
My daughter was born at 42+1 days gestation and she was perfectly healthy, but I remember being quite stressed in the last two weeks about being preceived as 'overdue' by family and friends who were hassling me quite a lot once I went past 40 weeks. I was lucky to have a supportive and informed husband, and a great midwife who assured me all was fine so I was able to continue through the end of the pregnancy without any interventions. Going 'offline' and handing my mobile to my hubby to deal with in the last week was also helpful!
18th January 2012 07:22 AM #5
Hi Fi - I agree a due date is formulaic. Rarely do babies come on their preconceived estimated birth date - they do come when they are ready. In fact some research indicates that for first babies the average is more like 40 weeks and 5 days and subsequent babies 40 weeks plus a 3 days. It is often forgotten that full term means from 37 weeks to 42 weeks.

all of my bubs were born at 41-42wks. i don't give a specific date when people ask when i'm due, i just go with a month now...lol.
People do forget that it is an "estimated due date (EDD)". Women rely so much on this date that they begin to feel impatient in their last few weeks & see their due date as D-day. when it comes & goes with no baby many mums to be start stressing which exacerbates all of their discomforts & they start asking about inductions etc.
Ladies also get upset when their date changes for any reason.

USC colleges ranked among best by U.S. News and World Report
Contact: Frenche` Brewer, email@example.com, 803-777-3691; Jeff Stensland, firstname.lastname@example.com, 803-777-3686
Two University of South Carolina colleges have made the list of U.S. News and World Report's 2013 Best Online Education Programs.
The College of Education (COE) ranks No. 5 in online graduate education programs and the College of Engineering and Computing's online graduate program ranks No. 28 in the national survey.
The COE first began offering online degree programs in 2005 with a master's degree in educational administration for graduate students pursuing careers in school administration. Three other degrees are now offered, including a master's in teaching, a master's in educational technology and, most recently, a master's in higher education business administration.
"Our faculty recognize that to be a 21st century College of Education that serves and prepares professional educators, leaders and scholars, we must be innovative and creative in designing and offering online courses and programs that are relevant to the needs of the field," says Lemuel Watson, dean of the College of Education. "I continue to be excited about the willingness of our faculty who put in the extra effort to make our College of Education one that is responsive to the needs of the state."
USC's online graduate engineering program dates back to 1968. It was developed for professional engineers working in the field. The college now offers a doctoral degree, a Master of Science and a Master of Engineering degree.
"We have a long and proud history of alumni and faculty support for the program," said Mike Matthews, professor of chemical engineering and associate dean for academic planning. "The program allows working engineering professionals with busy schedules to learn from top notch faculty, no matter where they live."
The survey results were based on admissions selectivity, faculty credentials and training, student engagement and accreditation, and student services and technology.

How to Choose and Use Insect Repellents
Mosquitoes, biting flies, and ticks can be annoying and sometimes pose a serious risk to public health. In certain areas of the United States, mosquitoes can transmit diseases like equine, West Nile Virus and St. Louis encephalitis. Biting flies can inflict a painful bite that can persist for days, swell, and become infected. Ticks can transmit serious diseases like Lyme disease, West Nile Virus, and Rocky Mountain spotted fever. When properly used, insect repellents can discourage biting insects from landing on treated skin or clothing.
Why You Should Use Mosquito Repellent
Insect repellent helps reduce your exposure to mosquito bites that may carry West Nile virus or other diseases, and allows you to continue to play, work, and enjoy the outdoors with a lower risk of disease.
When You Should Use Mosquito Repellent
Use repellent when you go outdoors. You should use repellent even if you're only going outside for a few minutes. Many of the mosquitoes that carry the West Nile virus bite between dusk and dawn. If you're outside during these hours pay special attention to using repellent.
Which Mosquito Repellents Work Best
A wide variety of insect repellent products are available. CDC recommends the use of products containing active ingredients which have been registered with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for use as repellents applied to skin and clothing.
When EPA registers a repellent, they evaluate the product for efficacy and potential effects on human beings and the environment. EPA registration means that EPA does not expect a product, when used according to the instructions label, to cause unreasonable adverse effects to human health or the environment.
Of the active ingredients registered with the EPA, two have demonstrated a higher degree of efficacy in the peer-reviewed, scientific literature.* Products containing these active ingredients typically provide longer-lasting protection than others:
Oil of lemon eucalyptus [p-menthane 3,8-diol (PMD)], a plant based repellent, is also registered with EPA. In two recent scientific publications, when oil of lemon eucalyptus was tested against mosquitoes found in the US it provided protection similar to repellents with low concentrations of DEET.
These recommendations are for domestic use in the United States. See CDC Travelers' Health website for specific recommendations concerning protection from insects when traveling outside the United States.
In addition, certain products which contain permethrin are recommended for use on clothing, shoes, bed nets, and camping gear, and are registered with EPA for this use. Permethrin is highly effective as an insecticide and as a repellent. Permethrin-treated clothing repels and kills ticks, mosquitoes, and other arthropods and retains this effect after repeated laundering. The permethrin insecticide should be reapplied following the label instructions. Some commercial products are available pretreated with permethrin. Permethrin is not to be used directly on skin.
How Often You Should Re-apply Repellents
Follow the directions on the product you are using. Sweating or getting wet may mean that you need to re-apply more frequently.
How the Percentage of Active Ingredient in a Product Relates to Protection Time
