Rosza Glenn, 82, above, toured with the Pearl Bailey Show as head of the girl singers, worked as a creative designer and fashion consultant; designed; for years sewed the gowns for Black Velvet Whisky ads; and got her high schoo, diploma at the age of 79.
Isabel Brannon Spencer '62 has been working for the last few years as manager (and sole employee) of the Annie Tinker Association for Women, a national fund that helps older women remain in their homes.
There are currently about 50 beneficiaries, mostly in New York City, women who have worked mainly in the arts or related fields, who never earned much of a pension, and whose families can't help out. They are living alone at home but can't quite afford it. The Tinker stipends are small-now $150-$250 a month-but enough to make a real difference in quality of life.
"Whatever Tinker does is a dessert," said Jean Murai. She met me at the door of her Greenwich Village apartment wearing a loose white cotton dress with tiers of ruffles, Mexican-style, and showed me into a cozy studio apartment, a baby grand piano at the center and lively clay sculptures crowding the shelves. A singer and a collector of folksongs from around the world and a self-described "typical rabble-rouser," Murai organized her own group, the Latin American Cultural Society, sang with Pete Seeger when he was 19 and first came to New York, and made a record titled "Mama, I Want a Husband."
"In folk singing, participation is the important thing," she said. "My specialty is people who think they cannot sing. There is no such thing as the non-singer. Anyone can sing. Anyone." Now almost 90, she is writing a lot, mostly poetry, working on her autobiography, Memoirs of a Senior Hippy, and sculpting in clay. "I'm not a sculptor," she said, "but I take a piece of clay in my hand and everything is done emotionally. Nothing abstract."
One-woman show
Actress Rita Ebenhart lives in a classic one-bedroom apartment on New York City's Riverside Drive. A favorite project is her one-woman show, depicting in song and story, the life of a Victorian woman after being jilted at the altar. The piece includes period dress, put together from her vast collection of authentic clothes and accessories. The show combines her interest in research, and in acting and singing.She studied with such legends as Harold Clurman and Bobby Lewis, and is currently studying Shakespeare with George Bartenieff. She remembers performing with Marion Seldes, touring with Diana Barrymore, and attending Syracuse University with Peter Falk and Jerry Stiller. She apppeared off Broadway with the Wicked Witch of the West, Margaret Hamilton; was in the film The Hot Rock; and played a lead in Bloodrage with Lawrence Tierney. On television, she appeared in IRemember Mama and worked with Eddie Bracken on Playhouse 90.
Ebenhart bikes just about everywhere in her trademark lime-green helmet. She is working in the areas of "mind-body awareness" and stress reduction-via meditation. She often journeys to a farm in upstate Columbia County for a day of meditation.
Ebenhart jokingly calls her efforts in tenant advocacy "quack lawyering," but her actions to save people-including a Holocaust survivor-from eviction were taken very seriously by the courts.
Emma Rukivina, 90 years old, was born in Hungary, where she was privately educated, with an emphasis on art. She became the first woman pilot to have a license to fly both planes and gliders, and qualified for the Hungarian Olympic fencing team in 1940, the year the Olympics were cancelled because of World War II. In 1947 she fled Hungary, a refugee, one of the few who left on the Arlberg Express (similar to the fabled Orient Express, with a route from Sophia through to London). She settled in Paris, started working in the export department of Christian Dior, did drawing for models, and finally set up as an independent couturiere, also organized several major art exhibitions, including one in Monaco under the patronage of Prince Rainier. In 1956 she left Paris for New York, where she opened her own gallery, with a Hungarian partner. In her own painting, she has moved from watercolors to oils. Her most recent project is a combination of oils and collage in works featuring animals, as a way to draw children's interest. For the last few years, she has suffered from persistent vertigo; her balance problems mean that she is virtually housebound, very distressing for a woman who has always been very fit and "sportive." When Spencer met her, she already had a home healthcare worker, and was a client of Search and Care, a social service agency. The Tinker grant has enabled her to improve her diet and buy vitamins.
Ladies who worked for a living
Annie Rensselaer Tinker was the daughter of a successful banker, who died at the age of only 37. In her will, Miss Tinker made a provision that part of her estate was to be used to fund a home for "ladies who have worked for a living," and in 1932 the Annie R. Tinker Memorial Home was established as a charitable corporation under the laws of the state of New Jersey. But this was in the middle of the Great Depression, and the fund was never sufficient for an actual home. By 1936, the growing need for services was becoming more and more obvious to the Trustees, and several beneficiaries began to receive small monthly allowances to enable them to live independently, be assured of daily necessities, care in the event of illness, and also burial expenses. For the next 60 years, between 10 and 20 women each year received monthly stipends ranging from $100 to $450, according to individual circumstances.
Dyke Benjamin became Chairman of the Tinker Association Board in the mid-90s, and since then membership has more or less doubled, through contributions and increases in the endowment. In recent years, Spencer has been going out to social service agencies to proselytize. "It's not that we have a lot of money," she said, "but we want to be sure that the money we do have goes to those who need it most." By now she has gotten to know people at the social service agencies, so that they recognize the kind of people Tinker is looking for. Some women who don't want to take money or help from a social service agency feel differently about Tinker because it is for artists. "We can take a woman on and then press her to receive help from someone else," said Spencer. "My job is to make sure that everyone is with a social worker, a social service agency that can provide real help, and to harass the agencies if they don't come through." Spencer also organizes various activities to bring the group together. There are several formal gatherings each year, including a luncheon and a tea held at the Cosmopolitan Club.
Recently, at the suggestion of Jean Murai, Spencer organized an informal gathering, inviting members who were singers to perform and artists to bring their work for display. Spencer got her church to provide a venue for the concert, found an accompanist, and got student volunteers from NYU's Stern School of Business to help out. Jean Murai composed a special song for the occasion, to the tune of Jingle Bells. There was also a Scottish woman who sang, a French cabaret singer, and a Russian Romany singer who brought her own accompanist, Vladimir. Rosza Glenn brought along some colorful handbags she had made. All the Tinker Association members were invited, and everyone had a wonderful time.
A new career working with individuals
Isabel Brannon '62 went out and got a job just days after she graduated from Bryn Mawr, rare in those days, and started a long career in journalism, working her way up from city hall reporter to city editor, to managing editor, to editor, the first and only woman at each step of the way. When she first started looking for a job in Philadelphia, she tried an advertising agency and several publishers, but couldn't get anywhere-her typing wasn't good enough.
At that point she hadn't even thought of journalism. Finally, in desperation, she went to an employment agency. The woman there saw that Spencer had been managing editor of the College News, editor of the Yearbook, editor of her school literary magazine, and said, "You should work for newspapers." She called the Main Line Times, where the man who is now Spencer's husband was the editor, and asked, "Do you need someone? I have just the person here."
Spencer spent two years at the Main Line Times as a local government reporter, then moved to the Delaware County Daily News in Chester, PA as City Hall reporter, covering the early days of the civil rights movement in the North and the War on Poverty. In 1965, she was hired as the first female staff reporter at the Philadelphia Daily News, the first woman ever to cover the police beat in Philadelphia. In 1969, she became the first full-time business reporter at The Trentonian (Trenton, NJ), covering the first energy shortages and plant closings. She was an education reporter at the News Journal (Wilmington, DE), in 1977-78, covering the first city-suburban court-ordered busing in the North, and the subsequent teachers' strike, and in 1979 became Metropolitan editor at the News Journal, one of only 12 women in the nation to hold this job at a large paper. She went on to jobs as assistant city editor (The Star-Ledger, Newark, NJ), and editor (The Daily Journal, Elizabeth, NJ), and in 1990 moved to Denver, CO, where she started as Sunday editor of The Denver Post, and then became managing editor in 1993.
From 1998-2001, Spencer was politics editor at the Daily News in New York City. "It was interesting," she said. "It was a fun place. The problem was that I was supposed to be in charge of political reporting, but they didn't trust me because they perceived me as a liberal, and they're not." So in 2001, she resigned from the Daily News in order to take on a new job, a new career, as managing director of the Tinker Foundation. "We all seem to start to do certain types of things at certain times," said Spencer. "When you're younger you want to change the system. Now I feel as though I can make my best contribution working with individual people to help them."

Arrested in Fulton county for DUI and refused all tests. (blood, Intox, etc.).
If I plea guilty to the DUI do I automatically have a hard 12 month suspension?
No. You need to file a 10 Day Letter with DDS if you have not done so already. If you refused the State's Test, they probably have filed a 1205 form seeking a 12 month hard suspension of your license for that refusal regardless of whether you eventually are convicted of the DUI or not. The 10 Day Letter asserts your right to have a hearing to challenge that suspension.
If you can avoid the administrative suspension for refusing the State's test, then you can go on to deal with fighting your DUI case. If you are eventually convicted either by a plea or losing a trial, then (if this is the first DUI you have had within the past 5 years) be immediately eligible for a limited permit that will let you drive to and from work. That limited permit will be good for 120 days, after which you can get your full license back as long as you have completed the DUI School.
Of course the best thing to do is get a lawyer to help you avoid the Administrative License Suspension then beat the DUI charge and avoid a license suspension entirely.
If you would like to discuss the details of your case in depth and talk about potential defense strategies, you are welcome to call me for a free consultation. My office is in Gwinnett County where I prosecuted DUI's for almost three years, but I also practice in Fulton and DeKalb Counties.Ask a similar question
Not necessarily, you need to file a letter within 10 business days to appeal the suspension of your license. That will provide an opportunity to avoid a hard suspension, But the circumstances of that can be rather complicated. You should speak with an experienced DUI attorney about how best to protect your license and possibly get your case reduced. Feel free to call anytime at 404-987-0245 to discuss in more detail at no charge.Ask a similar question
Will you lose your license? Possibly.
If you plead guilty to the DUI, will you automatically have a hard 12 month suspension? No.
There are two possible ways for your license to be suspended from a DUI arrest. Your license may be suspended as a result of the refusal, via an Administrative Suspension. The second is the suspension you will receive if you are convicted of DUI.
The arresting officer and Department of Driver Services (DDS) will attempt to suspend your driver's license immediately under the following circumstances:
- If you refuse to take the State's breath, blood, or urine test.
- If you are 21 years old or older and your alcohol level exceeds .08% on breath test.
- If you are under 21 years old and your alcohol level exceeds .02% on the breath test.
- If you are driving a commercial vehicle and your alcohol level exceeds .04% on the breath test.
This suspension is known as the Administrative License Suspension (ALS). You must act quickly to save your driver's license. You only have ten business days to appeal to this suspension. If you refused the State's test and you do not file a timely appeal, or you do file a timely appeal and lose, a hard one year suspension is likely. However, there is still hope for saving your driving privileges – by beating the underlying DUI criminal case.
License suspensions in a DUI criminal case vary based on several factors. Things like the defendant's age (over/under 21), previous DUI convictions (or guilty pleas), possession of drugs during the arrest, etc., can all affect a license suspension. However, in many instances, even if an individual's license is suspended for a one year, they may be eligible to apply for a work permit immediately. And, after 120 days on the wok permit, they may apply for early reinstatement of their full license, by paying a $210 reinstatement fee and providing proof that they attended DUI school.
It sounds like you have at least a little knowledge of the potential consequences. A little knowledge is often a dangerous thing, as it can lead to bad decisions. You should absolutely speak with an experienced DUI attorney, and you should do so immediately!

Any specific concerns should be directed to an attorney who is licensed to practice law in your respective jurisdiction.Ask a similar question
I am assuming that at some point you were read the Implied Consent notice and asked to take a State administered chemical test of your breath, blood or urine which you refused. If so, your license is being suspended based upon your refusal to take this test. You need to file an appeal of this suspension within 10 business days of your arrest in order to contest your suspension. It is best to retain an experienced DUI attorney to assist you with this appeal.
According to the facts of your case, you may be able to both save your license and avoid conviction for DUI. Officers often make errors in these investigations that open the door to defenses. The officer in your case could have pulled you over without articulable suspicion that you were DUI or committing a traffic violation. Thereafter, the officer could have botched the DUI investigation by performing the field sobriety evaluations incorrectly. If you refused to take his field sobriety evaluations, he may have lacked probable cause to arrest you. Then, he could have made an error reading you the Implied Consent notice before he asked you to take the test. All of these may be viable defenses to both your criminal case and your license suspension. You need to consult in detail with an experienced DUI attorney about your case.
As for pleading guilty. If this is your first DUI, the suspension from a conviction is not a "hard" suspension in that you can get a limited driving permit. However, the suspension from the refusal is a hard suspension (no permit). I cannot stress enough the importance of immediately acting to save your license by filing your appeal. Contact a DUI attorney immediately.

I would observe that several attorneys who practice in Georgia have answered this question. But beware of attorneys who answer state specific questions for jurisdictions in which they're not familiar and don't practice. A beer is a beer is a beer? Maybe.

From the Publisher
My fellow Americans,
President John F. Kennedy once famously said, "Hey, is that blond intern eighteen yet?" He also said, "Ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country."
We've changed a lot since JFK asked us all to pitch in. We've become a nation of narcissistic, yoga-mat-toting, service-dog-having, absentee dads and gluten-free, hand-wringing, hypochondriac moms of overcaffeinated (yet somehow still lazy) twerking tweens. And our government is an inept bureaucracy incapable of doing anything except getting in our wallets and in our way.
We've got to get it together, America.
That is why I, Adam Carolla, hereby declare myself Candidate Carolla. The tome you hold in your hands is a statement of my intent to whip our country back into fighting shape, to eliminate the "what are you going to do for me?" mentality that has invaded our country.
President Me is my manifesto, my vision for a better place . . . free of Big Government, barefoot fliers, lazy hipsters who'd rather "Occupy" than work, and the other things that are bringing our country down. With my cabinet appointees, my list of worthy and necessary presidential ManDates, and tons of great ideas for fixing our health care, education, energy, and even national parks systems . . . behold an America we can be proud of. The America I see in my head.
You're welcome in advance.
Your future leader,

amazing piece!!
By nk
from Montreal, Quebec
Very surprised when opened the box! It is a large elegant ring with detailed shape. Nice stones and cut! My wife loved it!!!
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
Beautiful colour combo!
By DONJE
from HALIFAX
I purchased this ring about a month ago and it is lovely. No stones askew or anything. The colour combination is so pretty and difficult not to keep looking at when wearing. Very dangerous when driving! I do agree with the other reviewer that this line does not seem to have the best quality control but I can't say that I have any complaints about this particular ring. It is definitely a keeper.
Nice contrast
By Fashionista
from Windsor ON
Love the brown shade of quartz against the pink. I was not pleased to see the center smokey quartz stone was set a little crooked. I would have liked to see brighter pink stones with more sparkle. You have to look close too really see the beauty ....wasnt a wow I will keep the ring as I like the brown and pink together and was comfortable with the sale price/value
( 1 of 1 customers found this review helpful)
Slightly askew!!!
By Jill
from Hudson, Quebec
This is a lovely ring, except the one I received has the center stone slightly askew, which throws the look completely off. The quality control on this line is certainly very poor.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

|Team coming to town on Friday isn't the same ol'Whitehouse
|Bobby "Butch" Burney | News-Telegram Sports Editor
Sept. 7, 2006 - The team coming to town Friday isn't the same ol' Whitehouse Wildcats.
Whitehouse, which has had just three winning seasons in the last 25 years, probably has its best team since the school's last playoff appearance in 1997.
The Sulphur Springs Wildcats will find out if that's true when the teams kick-off at 7:30 p.m. Friday at Gerald Prim Stadium.
Sulphur Springs has a 14-2 all-time record against Whitehouse, outscoring them by an average of 33-12 in those games.
But, under former Daingerfield head coach and Mount Pleasant defensive coordinator Randy McFarlin, Whitehouse has been improving.
They are coming off a last-second 31-28 victory over Forney in their season opener, while SSHS (0-1) will be trying to rebound from a 32-7 setback against McKinney.
"Overall, they're a more consistent ball club than what we've seen. They didn't seem to make as many mistakes as McKinney might have or we did," said SSHS head coach Greg Owens. "They're pretty well seasoned.
"It ought to be a great ball game. They're a very good team, and we've got to play great to beat them. "
The Wildcats will have to defend against a veteran offense to chalk up their first win. Whitehouse is powered by do-it-all Luke Shivers (6-1, 200), who is listed at running back after rushing for 1,530 yards and 12 TDs last year. but Shivers will also line up at wide receiver at even at quarterback.
Along with him, Whitehouse has running back Jimmy Kennedy (5-9, 155), who gained 104 yards on 21 carries last week, and quarterback Chad Emmons who completed 10-of-18 passes for 121 yards and two touchdowns without an interception against Forney.
"Skill-wise, they've got three athletes they like to get the ball to," Owens explained. "It's a wide open offense where they throw it around, get it to their athletes and let them do their stuff."
Defensively, Whitehouse will run a four-man front and let middle linebacker Taylor Sulser (6-0, 185) roam sideline-to-sideline. He helped the Wildcats hold Forney to just 59 yards rushing and 14 first downs.
Safety Steven Hicks intercepted two Forney passes last week, returning one 70 yards for a TD. However, all four secondary players are first-year starters, so the Wildcats might be able to take advantage of their inexperience.
As a whole, though, Whitehouse returns nine offensive and seven defensive starters from last year's 4-6 team. So, they have are more accustomed to the speed of the game - something Sulphur Springs' young players will have to adjust to quickly.
"A lot of our kids did make mention that they didn't know it was going to be that fast," Owens said. "It is fast - it's a fast game that's not just 10 plays and you get to go sit on the bench for a while. It's a full 48 minutes, and some of them just weren't accustomed to that.
"We're working on getting them to settle down a little bit and take care of their business. If they'll do that, we'll be all right."

Wide Awake In Lisbon
Wide Awake In Lisbon
| Posted by Robert Vijay Gupta in Lisbon
I don't get it. Slept great last night, had a good breakfast, practiced for three hours (apparently a little too much Adams), walked around town with our Principal Bassoonist, Whitney Crockett, got some dinner . . . did all the things one should do so that this doesn't happen . . .
Maybe I shouldn't have had that bacalhao or pulpo, or that second helping of domada . . . or any of the seven duseuti the chef of that tiny tiled restaurant pile on a plate for six gregarious, ridiculously loud Americans. Oh man, were those good. And man, were we loud . . . My tour nickname, apparently, is Fisheye. Don't ask.
Before we left LA, we were sounding awesome. I've never heard the band play like this. Veterans are telling me they're proud of the orchestra, of taking these programs across Europe. The real challenge on this tour will be keeping to that level of playing and pushing it further, climbing to the end, to Vienna, Mahler's hall, my Mecca – the Source.
No. The real challenge this tour will be getting any sleep tonight. There's a wakeup call in three hours shortly followed by a rehearsal and meetings with the Maestro. Nope, not even blinking. I've got passages from Mahler 9 screaming through my brain, and dreams (albeit daydreams) of the Musikverein.
How could I possibly sleep?

Pedestrian Accident Liability – Who is at Fault?
Each year, over 100,000 pedestrians are injured in car accidents across the nation. Surprisingly, almost half of these accidents take place in the hours ranging from 2PM-4PM; not coincidentally, right after school. With an increased number of students, teachers, and even employees crossing the streets during high-traffic, it is inevitable and tragic, that a car accident would occur with a pedestrian.
Determining Liability
However, the biggest question immediately following a pedestrian car accident is – who is at fault? If a police report is recorded after an accident, the assigned officer will conduct an investigation which will articulate the party at fault. In many high-profile cases that may have led to pedestrian fatalities, the drivers are held responsible for the death of an innocent pedestrian. Yet, more often than not, the driver and the pedestrian can both be negligent and both put at fault.
Negligence on Both Sides
For example, a pedestrian may have been crossing the street illegally (J-walking) when the driver of the vehicle had been speeding past the stated limit in a given area, resulting in a pedestrian accident. This situation would find both parties negligent, depending on the circumstances and the state the accident took place in. Car accident attorney Emery Ledger, however, advises that regardless of the situation, that an attorney be contacted immediately. If you are a pedestrian that was hit in an accident and found at fault, or partially at fault, some states may not allow you to recover any damages from the insurance companies. For this very reason, it is very important to seek legal counsel to help you recover the compensation you deserve.
Law of Negligence
In essence, the way to determine liability is weighted by the law of negligence. The law of negligence helps to conclude the level of care and caution each party took right before the accident. In some cases, if the driver or pedestrian holds no-fault coverage under their insurance policies, may allow a full and total coverage of all medical expenses and lost wages regardless of who may have been at fault for the accident. However, for pedestrians, recovery under the driver's vehicle liability insurance policy may vary on a case-by-case basis.
High Medical Costs
In the midst of an accident, it is important not to forget to immediately seek medical attention if needed. The injuries sustained from a car accident may not always be immediately apparent, but the consequences can be serious and long-term. Pedestrians may suffer severe injuries such as traumatic brain injuries, paralysis to isolated areas of their body, and permanent disfiguration. The hospital and future medical bills can be extremely expensive and you should not be forced to pay for these out of pocket when you may have not been responsible for the accident in the first place. For this reason, it is always best to contact a lawyer as soon as possible, who can help you recover monetary compensation for your injuries, pain, and suffering.
If you are a pedestrian who has been involved in a car accident, please contact nationally recognized car accident attorney Emery Ledger at The Law Offices Ledger & Associates. Mr. Ledger will provide a detailed evaluaiton of your legal matter and important information regarding your specific claim please call (800) 300-0001 or visit the website at Ledgerlaw.com.

My Notes:
Home sweet home, it sounds just right when you're referring to the Belcourt II. This exquisite home will be appreciated from wall to wall and will let you live like a royal family. As you approach the home you are greeted by a two-car garage and a walkway to the grand columned covered entry; it's a welcome home that never felt so good. As you enter into the home through the foyer, you will find the grand dining room with large windows inviting the natural light in from the outside. Head further into the home through the elegant archway that leads you right into the family room that is filled with more natural light from the large sliding glass doors that lead you into the backyard. Adjacent to the family room you will find the stylish kitchen with granite countertops and a large island, plus, a spacious cafe area to relax with a cup of coffee while you gaze through the sliding glass doors that lead you to the patio. The second floor of the Belcourt II is just as beautiful and impressive as the first floor. As you approach the top of the stairs to the side you will find the game room. From the game room you have easy access to the master bedroom, your retreat for your own privacy that enhances your tranquility. Before you enter the master bathroom you must first pass the walk-in closet, making for plenty of room for your belongings. As you enter the master bathroom you will find all of your necessities, like the walk-in shower, the large tub, the dual vanities, and even an enclosed toilet. Now that's living the high life! On the other side of the second floor, you will find two bedrooms separated by the full bathroom. Now is the time to start living the life you have always wanted; contact us today to schedule a tour!

Ideas and news to get you thinking
The Syrian civil war has resulted in the deaths of more than 70,000 people. In more than two years diplomatic efforts to resolve the conflict have failed. Now the U.S. and U.K have committed to supplying direct aid to the Syrian rebels. Sunday, "Syrian President Bashar al-Assad has accused the British government of bullying and naivety in its approach to the conflict in his country", reports the BBC. Assad, in an interview in The Sunday Times said "Britain is determined to militarise the situation".
At a Friend's of Syria meeting in Rome, Thursday, William Hague, the British foreign secretary, said "military help was possible in the future". Currently the UK government claim to support the rebels but have not provided weapons.
The BBC carries part of The Sunday Times interview which says, "Mr Assad, in a rare interview with a Western newspaper, accused UK Prime Minister David Cameron's "naive, confused, unrealistic" government of trying to end an EU arms embargo so that the rebels could be supplied with weapons. "We do not expect an arsonist to be a firefighter," he said.
"To be frank, Britain has played a famously nonconstructive role in our region on different issues for decades, some say for centuries. "The problem with this government is that their shallow and immature rhetoric only highlights this tradition of bullying and hegemony."
He added: "How can we expect to ask Britain to play a role when it is determined to militarise the problem? "How can you ask them to play a role in making the situation better, more stable? How can we expect them to make the violence less while they want to send military supply to the terrorists and don't try to ease the dialogue between the Syrian(s)."
The Assad family has had a grip on Syria for more than 40 years.
Hague's response later Sunday as reported by the BBC was, "Britain cannot rule out providing arms to the Syrian opposition in the future. The situation in Syria now is "too dangerous to the peace and security of that entire region, and thereby to the world, to ignore it"." Hague maintains that Assad is "delusional".
Assad needs to remember that it is the British government playing these games and not the British people. Politicians formed the U.K. coalition government out of a failed election attempt. British people were so disillusioned with U.K politicians that no party returned a majority vote. This resulted in deals done, behind closed doors, to form a government.
Such a coalition government can never be called the people's choice.
So the British government, which many people would refute is truly legitimate, is attacking a foreign leader over his right to power. Assad does well to offer a nod to history. Colonial Britain had power in many countries in the past including those in the Middle East.
In 1916 diplomats from France and Great Britain drew up an agreement to carve up the Middle East into 'zones of influence' after the expected defeat of Ottoman Turkey in World War I. France would get the northern zone, including what are now Syria and Lebanon, while Britain would oversee the south, including Palestine, Jordan, and the Iraqi oil fields.(Full timeline here)
This week UK foreign secretary Hague silenced the Tory's coalition partners, the Liberal Democrats, from discussing the Iraq war. That war may have ended but its terrible legacy lives on. The conclusion is that free speech in the coalition is not welcome. Some politicians are trying to silence claims that the Iraq war was all about the removal of Saddam Hussein. Too close for comfort as the U.K. looks to Syria and Assad?
The west, including the U.K. interfered in Iraq for its own ends. It has done so recently in Libya and Egypt.
Bashar al-Assad's father seized power in 1970 in an internal Ba'ath Party coup. Until 2010 or 2011 that situation suited the west.
If you believe the west and countries such as the U.K. and the U.S. are stepping up their involvement in Syria for humanitarian reasons I would say that you are mistaken.
Look at the broader picture to understand the civil war. It is surprising that it has taken Syrians this long to revolt. However, it is a civil war and surely the west has interfered once too often in this region already?
To William Hague and his political allies I say, no more conflicts, and certainly not in my name. The British people have neither the resources nor the will for trumped-up conflicts. It will be time enough when a real war cannot be averted.

Latest question:
How do you think the new GigE standards will influence the machine vision industry?
Respond or ask your question now!
"The OLED displays industry is under severe pressure to reduce manufacturing costs in order to compete with LCDs," said William Feehery, global business director, DuPont OLEDs. "We are very excited that our new set of solution-based OLED materials, and the improved uniformity and reliability we've been able to achieve with our printing process, have the ability to overcome the cost barriers the industry has been facing. We believe that larger OLED displays can be manufactured at a cost of up to 30 percent less than today's LCDs."
Using this advanced solution-based materials set, DuPont Displays has also exceeded the reported performance of other solution-based OLED materials. It has measured accelerated lifetimes of the three primary colors that could translate in a display to 20,000 hours of white lifetime (which is extended by as much as 5 times when showing video) at a normal viewing brightness (200 candelas per square meter (cd/m2)). At 1,000 cd/m2, the standard test luminance used in the industry, the DuPont materials have lifetimes (T50�the the time at which 50 percent of brightness is reached) of 14,000 hours for blue with International Commission of Illumination (CIE) 1931 color coordinates of (0.14, 0.16), 230,000 hours for green with color coordinates of (0.29, 0.65), and 46,000 hours for red with color coordinates of (0.66, 0.34).
In a review of widely available reports, these are the longest measured lifetimes for a solution material set with equivalent color coordinates.
Over the last 12 months, DuPont Displays also has made progress with the innovative solution-printing process announced last year. Using this proprietary process and specialized equipment, DuPont OLED materials were printed onto active-matrix thin-film transistor (TFT) backplanes supplied by leading TFT providers, and then protected from environmental degradation with DuPont� Drylox� encapsulation technology. DuPont exhibited two different display formats at SID 2007. The 4.3 and 6.1-inch full-color active-matrix displays have print resolution of 128 and 80 ppi respectively, and were fabricated at the DuPont Displays pilot facility in Santa Barbara, California.

Steelers notebook: Roethlisberger, Polamalu pick up awards
Ben Roethlisberger on Wednesday was named AFC Offensive Player of the Month for November after leading the Steelers into the playoff picture with three consecutive victories.
Another Steeler also was recognized: Troy Polamalu was chosen as AFC Defensive Player of the Week after forcing two fumbles during a 27-11 victory Sunday at Cleveland.
Roethlisberger, a two-time Super Bowl-winning quarterback in his 10th season, had never won an offensive player of the month award until now. He was recognized for completing 97 of 157 passes for 1,188 yards, 11 touchdowns and three interceptions while leading the Steelers to a 3-1 record over the past month.
He was chosen as AFC Offensive Player of the Week two weeks ago after directing the Steelers to a 37-27 win over Detroit in which he threw four touchdown passes. It was the ninth time he won the weekly award.
Roethlisberger is the first Steeler to take home a player of the month award since linebacker LaMarr Woodley was chosen as defensive player of the month in October 2011.
This is the seventh time Polamalu has been selected as defensive player of the week. He had four tackles, one sack, two forced fumbles and a fumble recovery against the Browns.
It marked the third time in his career that Polamalu had at least one sack, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery in the same regular-season game.
Polamalu last was chosen for the award in the final week of the 2011 season.
• The no-huddle is helping the Steelers protect Ben Roethlisberger, and coach Mike Tomlin is hinting there might be more five-receiver sets because they serve the same purpose. "It usually makes defenses have to declare who's blitzing and who's not because you've got five guys out and they've got to cover some people," Roethlisberger said. "You can send a couple of them deep and a couple of them short so that you can kind of have the time and the decisions to make."
• The Ravens have allowed only one rushing touchdown this season, so linebacker Terrell Suggs appeared to take exception when asked about the challenge Steelers rookie Le'Veon Bell presents. "We've got to play him with patience before we can try to tee off on a good back," Suggs said. "We've only allowed one rushing touchdown, so maybe you all need to do a little more research."
• The Ravens are playing their second Thanksgiving night home game in three seasons. They beat the 49ers, 16-6, in the John Harbaugh vs. Jim Harbaugh game in 2011. They are 10-1 in November home games since 2008.
• Right guard David DeCastro likes the approach the Steelers are taking by refusing to look at past games or ahead to future ones. "(It's) sticking together and staying confident and approaching every week like we have before," he said. "Not getting too overjoyed. We're confident, but we're not like, 'Yeah, we are doing really well' because we're still 5-6."
• Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco isn't surprised Polamalu is becoming a game-changing playmaker again. "Troy can run around in the back end and make some plays," said Flacco, who was intercepted by Polamalu for a touchdown in the 2008 season AFC title game. "He can get up around the line of scrimmage where he likes to be and get involved in the run game. The biggest thing with these guys is they're physical, they get after the quarterback, and they stop the run."
• Suggs said Roethlisberger is the most difficult NFL quarterback to bring down. When it happens, Suggs said, "It's something I really take pride in, and I'm really happy (about it)." Haloti Ngata said of Roethlisberger: "He's just great at loose play, really. He's just hard to tackle, and then he's just able to find some receivers and throw the ball. He's just a great quarterback that way."

Eric Clapton's Behind the Sun Remastered Album Due Out Tuesday
Eric Clapton's 'Behind the Sun' album has been remastered and is hitting the streets April 1st.
Eric Clapton's 'Behind the Sun' album has been remastered and is hitting the streets April 1st.
Every day this week between 10 am and 3 pm, I'll have a chance for listeners to win Eric Clapton's Crossroads Guitar Festival DVD, his show recorded live from Madison Square Garden on April 12th and 13th of 2013.
After just over two years as a band, Cream gave their final performance on Nov. 26, 1968. The concert was held at the Royal Albert Hall In England. Cream's decision to disband took fans by surprise, though simmering tensions within the band, primarily between Jack Bruce and Ginger Baker, came to a head, as Eric Clapton was losing interest in the band. They embarked on a 'farewell tour' of 19 cities in the U.S. before the two-night stand finale, Nov. 25 & 26, at the Royal Albert Hall.
Eric Clapton is getting ready to release a new box set of rare material.
Eric Clapton fans with a little extra cash lying around will have a chance to relive God's mid-'70s glory days this fall with a sprawling six-disc box set that collects rare, remastered and unreleased cuts.
Eric Clapton's landmark 1992 'Unplugged' album will soon be getting a new look. 'Unplugged: Expanded and Remastered,' a two-CD/DVD set that builds upon the original release, will be available on Oct. 15.
The next time Eric Clapton adds Cream's 'World of Pain' to his set list, it should take on a little extra added meaning.
Happy (early) birthday to Eric Clapton, who was born on March 30, 1945 in Surrey, England.
If you've seen any of the 23 James Bond movies, you're familiar with British trumpet player Derek Watkins. The session player also sat in with Eric Clapton, the Beatles, Elton John and more during a nearly 50-year career. Watkins died on Friday (March 22) after a two year battle with cancer.
There comes a point in most artists' careers where they just don't care about making records anymore. Or at least they don't care about making records that their fans want to hear. They tour sporadically, playing the old songs to pay the bills. And they release new albums every five years or so because they feel it's something they should do. Eric Clapton got to this point years ago, but on his 21st solo album, 'Old Sock,' he settles into not caring like it's his full-time job these days.
[Top 5 Tuesday] has covered the frontmen and the drummers, now it's time to melt your face with the greatest guitarists in classic rock.
Fans can now hear Eric Clapton's upcoming studio album in its entirety, one week before it's set to hit stores and digital retailers. 'Old Sock' will feature 10 covers and two originals when it's available on March 12. It's Clapton's 21st studio album.

Living with Pleasure by The Welcomed Consensus
The best place for more fun and pleasure
in your relationship and in your life.
Sensuality and sexuality educators, the Welcomed Consensus offer retreats, courses and videos in sensuality, relationships and communication with a focus on female orgasm, which will improve communication, enhance sensual experiences and create greater intimacy.
Who is the Welcomed Consensus?
Dr. Patti Taylor writes -
"The Welcomed Consensus, an internationally known center for education of matters intimate, sensual, and sexual are most famous for teaching the Deliberate Orgasm or D.O. (the "DO"), a technique for giving a woman exquisite genital orgasmic gratification.
Learn what this practice is. Why are women so changed (for the better) by it? How do you do it? How pleasurable is it, anyway? How many times a day does a woman have an orgasm in this practice? Why is this a "female model of orgasm"? Why focus on female orgasm? What are "thunkspots" and when is the best time to touch them? What are some of the key guiding principles of Deliberate Orgasm that practitioners live by? How has it changed the lives of people in this practice? You will walk away full of ideas and inspiration."

After 1380 B.C.
Jebus, the original name of ancient Jerusalem, is populated by the Jebusites (a Canaanite tribe). It is a city built on seven hills. A partial siege carried out by the tribe of Judah against the city (Judges 1:8) takes place a short time after the death of Joshua.
David begins his rule as king after the death of Saul. His reign, however, begins with him ruling over only one Israelite tribe (his own tribe of Judah). He will not make Jerusalem his capital until he is made ruler over all Israel.
David, after ruling over only the tribe of Judah for seven and one-half years, is accepted as king over all of Israel. His first act after becoming the ruler over a united kingdom is to battle the Jebusites over control of Jerusalem. He conquers the city and makes it his capital. From this time forward it is commonly referred to as "the city of David."
Solomon, after the death of his father David, begins his reign as king of Israel.
959 - 958
King Solomon completes the building of Jerusalem's temple dedicated to the great God.
Israel splits into two separate entities, with two separate ruling dynastys, after the death of Solomon. The northern ten tribes of Israel, commonly referred to as simply "Israel" in the Bible, is ruled over by Jeroboam. This kingdom will, eventually, make Samaria its capital city. The southern part of Israel, composed of the tribes of Judah, Benjamin and Levi, becomes the Kingdom of Judah. Rehoboam, the son of Solomon, rules over the kingdom from Jerusalem. He will reign for seventeen years.
The city is attacked by Shishak, the king of Egypt (2Chronicles 12:9; 1Kings 14:25 - 26). He is the first Egyptian Pharaoh to capture and pillage the city.
How many times has Jerusalem been attacked?
Location of city's Seven Hills
Where is the Holy of Holies located?
The city is attacked by the Philistines, Arabians and Ethiopians (2Chronicles 21:16). The royal palace is looted.
King Jehoash of Israel sacks Jerusalem, destroys its walls and takes King Amaziah of Judah prisoner.
735 - 732
Rezin, king of Syria, and Pekah, king of Israel, attack the city (2Chronicles 28). King Ahaz seeks the aid of Tiglath-Pileser, king of Assyria, to deliver him from these two kings.
Sennacherib, king of Assyria, attacks King Hezekiah (2Chronicles 32). He not only mocks the faith of Jerusalem's inhabitants that God can save them, he blasphemes against the Lord himself. God, however, hears the vain threats of the king and has the Angel of the Lord kill 185,000 of his troops as they prepare to enter the city (2Kings 18 - 19).
The city falls to King Nebuchadnezzar. He takes Judah's king as prisoner to Babylon and sets up Zedekiah as King.
King Nebuchadnezzar destroys the city and burns its temple. People of Judah are taken captive to Babylon.
The rebuilding of the temple is completed during the reign of Persian King Darius I.
500s - 400s
Ezra, temple priests and Levites known as "The Great Assembly" complete the canonization of the Old Testament part of the Bible.
Instead of fighting a bloody battle the city surrenders to Alexander the Great. Alexander spares the city.
Antiochus IV Epiphanes becomes King of the Seleucid Empire. He begins to force Greek culture into Judea and outlaws the Sabbath and circumcision. Antiochus also sacks Jerusalem and erects an altar to Zeus in the Second Temple.
The Maccabean revolt against the Seleucids is started by a Jewish priest named Mattathias.
The Maccabees, led by Mattathias' son Judas Maccabeus, captures Jerusalem and rededicates the temple.
The Roman Republic, led by Pompey, occupies Palestine.
Julius Caesar appoints Antipater I the Idumaean to be procurator of Judea. Antipater is founder of the Herodian dynasty of rule that will last until 92 A.D.
40 - 37
Herod the Great is appointed King of Judea ("King of the Jews") by the Roman Senate. He is given an army and eventually conquers the ancient city of David.
Herod begins work rebuilding the temple.
Jesus is born in Bethlehem. Forty days after his birth, fulfilling the requirement of Leviticus 12, his parents Mary and Joseph take him to Jerusalem to have him dedicated at the temple (Luke 2:22 - 39).
c. 4 B.C.
Herod dies. He is succeeded by his son Herod Antipas.

Blood Types of Abductees, Experiencers and Contactees: What Could They Indicate?
Part II
November Hanson
Hanson has a great love for ancient history and enjoys reading about the ancient Sumerians as well as Constantine and the Council of Nicaea. She also enjoys learning about the indigenous cultures of the Americas as much as art and artifacts through the ages. She enjoys studying medicine and psychology, including their historical perspectives.
November Hanson began looking for answers to her own experiences thirteen years ago and while doing so, she discovered distinct patterns in individuals' experiences, which she categorized as Local or a very specific type of experience; Global, which includes patterns that emerge from individuals who have had any type of ET experience, including a UFO sighting; and Universal, which includes people who seem to have a true affinity for mankind and where we are headed. Hanson believes these individuals have a respect for experience and life in general and are looking to understand their place in the Universe.
In addition to several articles and ongoing questionnaire based abductee-experiencer-contactee research projects, November Hanson is also the author of an e-book titled Mosaic of the Extraterrestrial Experience (In Memory of Seas) which can be read on-line for free.

A mounted cop has been suspended after riding his horse to the top
of the Eiffel Tower. Tourists were forced to flee the Parisian landmark
when officer Alain "Roy" Roget and his horse Fleur appeared
on the viewing platform at the top of the tower. Fourteen people
were injured in the panic, including a bystander at the foot of
the monument who was hit by what one witness described as "a
great steaming pile of horse crap."
Eiffel Tower man Jacques Cantona told wreckered "The cop was
drunk. So was the horse. If this is what we can expect from a federal
Europe, I'm moving to Burma."
Drunk-cop watchers say this is only the latest example of "extreme
cop sports", where police officers outdo each other in hair
raising stunts. Last month two British detectives were suspended
after setting fire to a canoe inside a library and, in November
2003, the dog handler section of Strathclyde Police was canned after
forcing police dogs to act like huskies and pull a fat cop fourteen
miles on a two-seater sofa.

RECOMMENDED: 50 best New York attractions
This Long Island City warehouse, treated as a 200,000-square-foot canvas, is one of the world's best places to see the full spectrum of spray-paint art. Ride a Queens-bound 7 train past the Hunters Point Ave stop for an elevated, panoramic view of the names of NYC's graffiti forebears—like Iz the Wiz—scrawled on 5 Pointz's walls.

The fact that this no longer exists but you tout it as one of the more popular things to do in the city instills no faith what so ever that you actually know of what there is to do in the city!
people is saying it doesnt exist anymore, what a shame, could someone suggest a similar place?
What is left can be viewed from the 7 train (for a moment) right before the train enters Court House Sq station stop. There is a very large graffiti owl that can be viewed from the train.
Legendary place...RIP :(
Please note that this is no longer there! They painted over all the pieces of art about two weeks ago : (. Such an amazing piece of NYC gone.
Sounds fantastic and I would love to see it! But $35 for a tour....get outta here!!!!! It's subway art!

TOP STORY > >Hillary is still alive in race for president
He wont even be Sen. John McCains running mate. Not even McCain knows his choice for vice president hes been too busy steeling himself against insults from the far right but his running mate will probably be a younger politician from a big state, maybe from the Northeast, with a lot more electoral votes than our wonderful little state could give McCain. Mitt Romney, perhaps? (McCain will be 72 next January, which would make him the oldest president on inauguration day.)
You want more predictions? Hillary will get just enough delegates to win the Democratic nomination and will anoint Sen. Barack Obama as her running mate, and he will accept.
But why would he settle for the second spot, if hes the frontrunner?
Obama is ahead with about 130 delegates, but even with Mississippi in his win column, there are still some key states ahead, while many more superdelegates will stick with Hillary right up to the convention.
Say its a tie in Denver: Surely the Clintons will broker a deal in their favor. Obama says, not very convincingly, that hes not running for vice president not yet, he isnt but for a young freshman senator, its an offer he cant refuse in August.
The top spot could be his in four to eight years.
Even after losing Mississippi, shes well ahead in Pennsylvania, which votes next month and has 158 delegates.
The Democratic National Committee could allow another round of voting in Florida and Michigan or assign the two candidates the number of delegates in line with the popular vote there. The results were voided because the two states held their primaries too early in violation of DNC rules. Clinton won the popular vote in Florida and Michigan, so she could get as many as 192 delegates against Obamas 72, according to some estimates.
That would pull her even with Obama. She has about 70 more superdelegates than Obama, and that should secure her nomination. Obama could lead a floor fight and accuse the Clintons of stealing the nomination, but that could ruin the Democrats chances in the fall. Obama will settle for No. 2 instead of losing everything.
Of course you can throw this scenario out the window if Obama marches triumphantly into the Democratic convention and looks for a running mate who didnt insult him during the campaign.
Bill Clinton will keep campaigning for his wife. In Mississippi, he talked southern, the way he does in black churches but not before white groups.
Its an amazing gift: He sounds like a Yankee when hes with white folks north of the Mason-Dixon line. In Arkansas, he has sort of a mid-south accent. Call it the Hot Springs drawl. But when hes in the Delta, its like Gone with the Wind in high-definition DVD.
Even Mike Huckabee played down his southern roots during the primaries.
Now thats hes out of the running, hell be busy making speeches this fall and preparing for another presidential race in 2012 in case John McCain loses.
Perhaps Wayne Dumond, Gene Fields and other felons he helped pardon will be long forgotten by then, but if Huckabee challenges Sen. Blanche Lincoln two years from now, she might mention them in passing.
After all, a candidate should run on his record.

They think of "most artists" as most artists who have lots and lots of money with which to smother all their problems.

I was just listening to NPR presenting what sounded to me like pro-SOPA disinfo, drawing exaggerated attention to piratical sites that offer step by step instructions on how to infringe copyrights & such, & stating that "most artists are happy about SOPA."

Really? I'm an artist. Why don't they ever interview me for these mysterious polls?

Incidentally, have any of you ever been interviewed for a "Gallup Poll?" Who does get interviewed for Gallup Polls? Must be the same people who provide the Nielsen Ratings.

On a tangentially related note, question about copyright: if you reproduce copyrighted material without permission, but with no intention of making money, & without making any money, is it still illegal? I suppose so, but I'm not sure.

Also, the rearrangement of space in the Hackitorium is growing on me. I was initially disoriented & felt like an eagle without an eyrie in the wake of the space-quake, but now I see how it will lead to greater efficiency & better use of space. Consent is good, but I also believe in the necessity of sometimes jumping in & pushing things forward on your own initiative, because otherwise, "to put it in the vernacular of the peasantry,"* shit just don't get done.

Woo, a link! woo...

I was elated to hear about Wikipedia's decision to blackout their site. Protesting censorship that would block access to information by [temporarily] locking down people's access to information ... will actually will work better than anything else I've heard to get the point across. If only Twitter, Facebook, etc. would blackout at the same time so people would not only lose their favorite sites but be UNABLE to voice their complaints via their usual web means! Just like the future we all fear.

Personally, I was hoping for a bigger Google blackout. You have to admit that a total Google blackout would be EPIC. I'd be totally willing to give up my own use of the site & e-mail for a few days just to see what would happen and observe the responses of people all around.

CHAOS.

ANARCHY.

PEOPLE IN THE STREETS WITH SHOES.

And then everybody discovers they didn't lose Google after all; the Google was in their heart all along. It's a very magical, touching moment.

Then, PIPA and SOPA are passed anyway and everybody goes back to work.

I have the EVGA Z77 FTW (EATX Mobo) all you have to do is remove a few of the air mounts (plastic pieces for the hard drive bungee cords) that block a few of the SATA ports and the main power connection. Other than that it fits perfectly. As far as cable management, I ordered a few 8 and 6 pin extensions off newegg, they helped route power cables around things.

The senior pastor of the Presbyterian Church of Stanley said Monday his congregation isn't splitting from larger Presbyterian bodies, in response to comments from regional leaders.
Rev. Eric Laverentz also took issue with regional Presbyterian leaders' assertion that a bill carried by Rep. Craig McPherson — a deacon at Laverentz's church — would make it easier for his congregation to keep church property if it did split.
"Indeed, the folks from Heartland Presbytery you interviewed have it exactly wrong," Laverentz said via email. "Clarifying Kansas law and clarifying property rights has a greater impact upon this congregation if we stay in the (Presbyterian Church of the USA). In our current environment, raising capital to build or even fund operating budget is made challenging if not impossible by questions involving the ownership of the property."
McPherson, a lawyer, told the House last week that House Substitute for Senate Bill 18 would make church property disputes "fairer, cleaner and clearer" by specifying that Kansas courts should apply purely secular principles and rely on objective documents.
Rev. Charles Spencer, a leader of the Heartland Presbytery to which McPherson's church belongs, and Rev. Landon Whitsitt, a leader of the larger synod that serves Presbyterian churches throughout Kansas and Missouri, both said the bill would dash decades of Presbyterian ecclesiastical principles and alter the relationship between the churches.
Whitsitt and Rev. Chad Herring, a pastor at another church within the synod, also said that the Presbyterian Church in Stanley is looking to break away from the larger group and keep its building.
Laverentz disputed that.
"We are in dialogue with our Presbytery about our differences," Laverentz said. "The state of church property law in Kansas does not impact that process at all. We do not know where that dialogue is going. There have been no absolutely no statements by our leadership that we are departing the PC (USA)."
Presbyterians and other mainline Protestant denominations have had internal clashes in recent years about biblical interpretations of modern social issues, including gay clergy and gay marriage.
When those disputes lead to schisms, disputes over church property can be difficult to resolve.
Spencer said this past week that his Presbytery has made investments within its member churches going back to the 1850s, which is one reason he believes the church's internal government, or polity, should have a say in property divisions.
Laverentz and McPherson said the bill in question would provide more certainty for congregations.
"In our current environment, raising capital to build or even fund operating budget is made challenging if not impossible by questions involving the ownership of the property," Laverentz said. "Congregations in Kansas have watched as congregations in Missouri and our Presbytery have spent millions of dollars in legal fees deciding property ownership questions in court. We do not want that in Kansas."

Farro with Shiitake Mushrooms
Farro (Italian spelt) is nutty, chewy and, Alex Urena believes, totally soothing.
Slideshow: More Delicious, Quick Side Dishes
- Servings: 2
- 1 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1/2 small onion, minced
- 3/4 cup farro
- 1 thyme sprig
- 1 1/4 cups water
- Salt and freshly ground pepper
- 2 1/2 ounces finely diced shiitake mushroom caps (1 cup)
How to make this recipe
Melt half of the butter in a skillet. Add the onion and cook over moderately low heat, stirring frequently, until softened, about 8 minutes. Add the farro and thyme and cook, stirring occasionally, until the farro is lightly toasted, about 3 minutes. Add the water and a pinch each of salt and pepper. Bring to a simmer, cover and cook over low heat until the water is absorbed and the farro is al dente, about 30 minutes. Discard the thyme.
Meanwhile, melt the remaining 3/4 tablespoon of butter in a medium skillet. Add the mushrooms and cook over moderate heat, stirring frequently, until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the mushrooms to the farro, season with salt and pepper and serve.
Make Ahead
The farro can be refrigerated overnight; gently reheat with 1/2 cup of water before serving.

Having decided against killing it outright, Ford is willing to give its Lincoln luxury division at least one more try with seven new models over the next few years and more attention by dealers. How hard will the turnaround be?
"It will take every ounce of our energy to execute Lincoln in North America," says Jim Farley, Ford's global sales chief.
That's a pretty tall order. It's not just about the vehicles. CEO Alan Mulally has said he expects them to be on par with the best from Mercedes-Benz; Lexus and BMW, yet Ford still intends to share chassis with its mainstream Ford Division.
Rather, according to Farley, the tougher part may be coaxing dealers to go all-out for customers. "The secret sauce to Lexus was the personal touch," says Farley, a Toyota/Lexus veteran. It's about tiny things that make a huge impact on customers, like putting a rose on the seat after bringing cars back for a recall repair or making sure every car is washed after servicing.
In any other business except cars, it might not be so hard. But dealers are independent businesses, as they are always quick to point out when it benefits them, so they can try to resist Ford's call for them to pour millions into improvements into their businesses or not retrain their sales forces to be more responsive. But considering Ford's investment, resistance may be futile.
For Farley, it's the first page of a turnaround story. Why?:
Because customers aren't particularly keen on Lincoln, unless maybe they are retired and living in Florida. "I don't think we're relevant to the core luxury customer," Farley acknowledges. "You have to wake up to the market."
Farley says he isn't going to court the obvious luxury targets, Type-A males who are successful in business. Rather, he going go after a demographic he calls "the magician" -- trend-setting creatives who live on the coasts. They are more open to change and will buy the best, or at least most interesting, car regardless of what others think.
Gucci came back. Burberry came back. Farley thinks Lincoln can come back, too.
Killing Lincoln was an option that was considered, says President of the Americas Mark Fields. It would have been easy to dispatch it just the way that Mercury was sent to the grave. But Lincoln is being given its day once again.
