The release of yet another biotechnology prospectus, this time from Cogstate, brings to more than 10 the number of floats launched in the sector so far this quarter.
The flood is causing acute market indigestion which is likely close the window for new issues until well into next year.
By the end of this quarter, close to $150 million will have been raised by biotech companies, according to data obtained from Bioshere.
Potential issues will total a further $50 to $100 million in the first half of next year.
The December quarter total is down from the $180 million raised during the September quarter, but brings to $320 million the amount raised so far this financial year, which is well up on last year's $100 million.
And the flow shows few signs of flagging, although waning investor appetite is likely to force an increasing number of hopeful issuers to be delayed well into next year, with the market likely to need at least a quarter to digest the recent round of raisings.
"The window that has opened for new issues is showing signs of weakness," said Michael Panaccio of Starfish Ventures, one of the largest venture capital groups in the biotech field.
"There is 'IPO indigestion'," admitted Tracie Ramsdale, the head of one of the quarter's fund-raisers, Alchemia. "There are a lot of companies that were waiting for the window to open, and as many companies waiting to come as are already coming. The market is quite soft at the moment."
The weak demand for biotech paper is reflected in the share price performance of recent listings Cryptome and Pharmaxis, both down 20 per cent from their issue price, which has crimped investor sentiment towards new issues. The other recent listing, ITL, is trading at a handy premium to its issue price of 50c, closing yesterday at 64c.
Alchemia is seeking $21 million, with only a small part of this yet to be raised, although there is caution about how it is likely to perform once it is listed.
"Money is basically coming out of the same pot," one biotech financier said.
"They sell one holding to put funds into the next thing."
As a result, pressure on listed issues is contributing to the poor sentiment towards the sector.
"I think the window will remain open until Christmas," Starfish's Mr Panaccio said.
"With new issues now trading at significant discounts, the market will need a period of consolidation which could last six months."
Others argue that the window is already closed.
"I think the window has shut and will be shut until into the new year," said BioTech Capital managing director Harry Karelis. "People have already gone into holiday mode."
Two of the larger issues in the wings are Proteome Systems and Portland Orthopaedics, both expected next year. Their bigger size and existing revenue base should ensure institutional investor interest when they come to the market.
"We are all going to the same institutional investors," said Peter Bick, the head of Cogstate, of the pitch for funds. Cogstate is seeking up to $7 million.
The limited investor appetite for new biotech issues is largely due to the poor performance of some of the recent issues, he said.
Cogstate, boasting the Myer and Baillieu families as investors, has developed a test of cognitive function. Its uses include diagnosing head injuries on sporting fields. It is already selling to the AFL, the ARU, the NRL, foreign rugby teams and racing clubs.
It joins Biodiem and Western Oil - soon to change its name to Stirling Products as part of a $4 million issue and backdoor listing - which are also in the market for funds.

Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood Announces Recovery Funding for Ramah Navajo Chapter in New Mexico
First Tribe to Receive Economic Recovery Funds for Tribal Roads
WASHINGTON - U.S. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood today announced that the Ramah Navajo Chapter in northwest New Mexico became the nation's first Tribe to receive direct road repair funding from President Obama's "American Recovery and Reinvestment Act" (ARRA). The Tribe will receive more than $644,000 from the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) to help resurface nearly 10 miles of Ramah Navajo Route 25—also known as Veterans Highway—on the Tribe's 168,000-acre reservation.
"These funds will make dramatic improvements to some of the most rural roads in the nation, while putting people to work in an economically-distressed area," said Secretary LaHood. "This project is a great reminder that investment in infrastructure is also an investment in people."
Through the ARRA, $310 million is available for the FHWA's Indian Reservation Roads (IRR) program. Federally-recognized Tribes are eligible to receive ARRA funding based on highway projects' estimated construction costs, volume of traffic along the route and the Tribe's current population.
The Ramah Navajo Chapter, represented by then-President Leo Pino, was among the first four Tribes to sign an IRR Program Agreement in 2006, which allows Tribes to work directly with FHWA for their IRR Program funding instead of contracting with the U.S. Department of the Interior's Bureau of Indian Affairs.

It's one of the few places in the world where banks are using fingerprint biometrics, which verify people's identities based on their unique physical characteristics.
Scanning fingerprints or irises to verify an ATM customer's identity has yet to penetrate the U.S. banking market because of concerns about expense and privacy.
Customers must be convinced that the technologies provide more benefit than the card-and-pin system, which works well, said John Hall, spokesman for the American Bankers Association. The cards also serve functions beyond the ATMs, as debit cards and as advertising for the banks.
"Getting that wallet space is important," said Bill Spence, a biometric expert with Campbell, Calif.-based Recognition Systems.
However, companies that make automated teller machines have found budding markets for the fingerprint technology in South America, where citizens already are accustomed to the use of fingerprints for general identification, such as ID cards they carry.
Diebold Inc. of North Canton has supplied fingerprint-capable ATMs to a bank in Chile that is using them in a pilot project. Last year Dayton-based NCR Corp. installed 400 of them in Colombia.
BanCafe, Colombia's fifth-largest bank, bought the ATMs at the end of 2002 for added security for coffee growers and to get them to open accounts. The growers wouldn't need to carry ATM cards, which can be a lure for thieves.
Ricardo Prieto, who was vice president for system operations at BanCafe when the system was installed, said that at first ATMs failed to recognize fingerprints on the hands of some elderly customers and laborers such as construction workers.
He said the ATM imaging was improved, and the number of customers whose fingerprints couldn't be read fell from 30% to 8%.
About 230,000 of BanCafe's 1 million customers registered to use the fingerprint ATMs, which account for about 15% of the bank's total transactions.
"Biometrics is certainly the most secure form of authentication," said Avivah Litan, an analyst with Gartner Inc., a Stamford, Conn.-based technology analysis firm. "It's the hardest to imitate and duplicate."
About 350 banks in North America are using Diebold's hand geometry systems to clear customers into vaults so they can open their safe-deposit boxes. At Zions First National Bank in Salt Lake City and South Carolina Federal Credit Union, among other customers, users place their hands on a screen, which reads the width of the palm, length of the fingers and other points of the hand.
The added security is attractive because of the valuables in the boxes.
Last year, Suruga Bank Ltd. in Japan began using ATMs that allow customers to access their accounts by holding their palms up to machines that read the pattern of blood vessels.
Finger scans — in which people are identified by multiple points on the finger rather than fingerprints — are being used at grocery stores and by people renting lockers at some airports, train stations, theme parks and the Statue of Liberty.
Later this year, NCR plans to begin selling finger scan readers to stores for use by customers and employees. The technology is designed to speed up checkout and to prevent theft. The scans verify which cashiers are operating the registers in case there is missing cash and the identity of managers who approve customer checks.
These systems involve a small number of customers who elect to use them. Converting ATMs from the card-and-pin system to fingerprint technology would affect far more people and in effect leave them little choice.
Systems that scan the iris of the eye are being used at airports in Canada and Amsterdam to check passengers going through customs and at border points in the United Arab Emirates to identify people trying to enter the country with fake work visas.
Diebold has tested ATMs with iris scans, but banks have yet to adopt the scanning because the systems were expensive and the cameras too large for small ATMs. Users had to practically put their noses on the screen for the scan to work.
Iridian Technologies, based in Moorestown, N.J., has developed a smaller camera that costs under $1,000 and can photograph the iris of a user 18 inches away, said CEO Frank Fitzsimmons.
Linda Campbell, 49, of Springfield, said she probably would use a fingerprint ATM as long as she was sure that no one else could obtain her fingerprint.
But Connie Steele doesn't believe the technology would add that much more security to the card-and-pin system.
"If I'm a thief and I've got the card, I still don't have your pin number, so how could they use it?" said Steele, 57, of West Milton.
Supporters of the technologies are confident that bank customers eventually will accept the new ATMs.
"The real holy grail in biometrics," said Jim Block, Diebold's director of global advanced technology, "is let's get rid of the pin so no one has anything to steal anymore."

Refiners: Earnings Won't Help
After the U.S. government's surprise decision to allow the export of some ultra-light crude oil, refiners like Phillips 66 (PSX), Holly Frontier (HFC), Valero Energy (VLO) and Alon USA Energy (ALJ) have been having a tough go of it. Don't expect earnings to provide much of a boost.
Barclays' Paul Cheng and team explain why:
In light of the heavy downtime and narrower-than-expected North American crude oil price differential environment, we expect US refiners will come in below consensus estimates...
The US refiners have fared much better than their international peers, but have been adversely impacted by the narrowing in most of the key North American crude differentials. We note that refiners exposed to the Cushing/Midland differential, however, did not see as much of a variance relative to current consensus estimates following our revisions. While the Brent/WTI Cushing spread narrowed by nearly $3/bl q/q, the Cushing/Midland differential on a trade month basis actually widened further to $8.4/bl in 2Q14 compared to $3.7/bl in 1Q14.
As a result, Cheng chopped his current-year earnings on most of the refiners. Holly Frontier goes to $3.00 from $4.35; Phillips 66 drops to $6.20 from $7.95; and Valero Energy goes to $6.25 from $8.35. Only Tesoro (TSO) emerged unscathed, with its estimate left at $5.00.
Cheng feels particularly pessimistic about Alon USA Energy--he dropped his full-year estimate to $0.35 from $1.25. He explains why:
We estimate that Alon USA Energy could lose $0.01/share compared to consensus estimate of positive earnings of $0.17/share...Our estimates reflect the company's latest update on its Big Spring turnaround in 2Q14. Management now guides 2Q14 throughput at its Big Spring refinery at 39 mb/d compared to previous guidance of 46 mb/d. In addition to the lower throughput, we assume the gross refining margin should also be comparatively weaker than peers, reflecting off-spec products during the turnaround. We also assume operating costs could be higher in light of the longer-than-expected maintenance period.
Shares of Alon USA Energy have dropped 0.5% to $12.27 at 1:02 p.m., while HollyFrontier has gained 0.5% to $43.36, Phillips 66 has dipped 0.1% to $79.24, Tesoro has advanced 0.9% to $58.74 and Valero Energy is up 0.2% at $49.24.

Samuel, (First, a disclaimer that I have only dabbled occasionally in the field of CS education, but I have a lot of varied experience in industry and research.) It's commendable that you sought out input on the site from language experts. I suspect that, like many substantial projects, this journey leads in a very different direction than was originally intended. Here's why... I think that the current formulation of that site misrepresents what's important and true about these languages, and encourages people who actually think they need that kind of guidance on picking languages to make decisions on the wrong criteria and even snap judgments. (Put up a page on COBOL, and you've got a winning language for much of the audience in the snap judgment category.) Also, and much more importantly, at the HS level, the languages themselves are incidental to the substance of what is being taught and the methods. Designing a first-rate curriculum from scratch is a huge undertaking of many person-years, even if you can eventually pull it off. Fortunately, others have already done it. Start with the package that others developed, not the programming language. On shoulders of giants, and all. If I were to put up a Web site to help HS teachers choose a programming language to teach, it would take this form: "Which language? Whoa, now hold on there, pardner. In most situations, you want to teach HTDP. In a few situations, you want to teach SICP. And here are a few more packages of approaches/textbooks/materials to consider in some situations, including some packages based on HTDP or its tools. In all situations, you use whatever languages the package is set up to use." If you want to help HS teachers with CS education, instead of doing a language comparisons site, I'd suggest learning more about HTDP or another package, and finding ways to build upon it. Cheers, Neil

Fiesta Exploit Kit Analysis
03 Feb. 2014
In January, Cisco published a blog post on the ubiquitous Fiesta Exploit Kit (EK) which is quite active at the moment. To supplement their analysis, this post takes a look at an individual Fiesta drive-by attack observed by Context as part of our managed Targeted Attack Detection Service (TADS). The post also shows the methodology we used to investigate the incident and decode the traffic.
Compromising a user through a drive-by web attack certainly isn't new, but due to advances in the detection of phishing emails it is becoming an increasingly popular alternative. Another drawback for the attacker when relying on phishing attacks to deliver malicious code is that an email often contains clues such as sender addresses and information in SMTP headers. This makes it easier for email scanners and intrusion detection systems to identify and attribute further attacks.
In the case of Fiesta, the perpetrator(s) of this activity appear to have compromised numerous webservers in order to inject their malicious code into webpages. The result is a potential victim pool of thousands of browsers visiting those sites; an ideal attack platform for those who are trying to compromise as many online bank accounts as possible using crimeware.
What makes this attack vector all the more insidious is that the only parties likely to detect malicious code delivered server-side are the administrators for the websites and those who have the resources to implement technical countermeasures - certainly not the average user. This is in contrast to a phishing email, where it only takes one recipient to become suspicious and alert the appropriate authorities.
This post looks into the methods employed by the Fiesta EK to shed some light on how this kit is able to change its code and avoid being detected.
Compromise stages
1. The exploitation process starts off with a user visiting a trusted webpage containing embedded malicious JavaScript.
2. An embedded script tag on the compromised website causes the user's browser to request and execute further code hosted on a second domain (In this case valeriesn[.]com).
This domain acts as an intermediary between the original compromised webpage and the Fiesta EK landing page as shown in the image below. This approach gives the attacker much greater flexibility regarding where the victim browser is directed to. They could be sent to different domains hosting the exploit kit, to a different exploit kit entirely, or even nowhere if the attacker does not want to raise suspicion. This provides a layer of adaptability and security to the attacker and aids against detection and disruption of the campaign.
3. When the user's browser visits the landing page, it is profiled to detect possible attack vectors. As shown in the image below, Fiesta then attempts to exploit the victim browser by directing it to one or more encoded URL addresses:
While the Fiesta Exploit Kit is capable of serving many different exploits, in this particular case Context observed exploits for the following CVEs:
Decoding Fiesta EK code
The landing page consists of a large amount of JavaScript code embedded within a HTML document. Almost every aspect of this page can be changed to evade detection, including the page title, variable and function names, and strings in the code.
The Fiesta EK goes to great lengths to obfuscate its code and uses a function to encode the majority of the strings using a number and key combination. The function responsible for this process can be seen below:
The long string stored in the variable "b" is the key used to encode the strings in the document.
In order to reliably decode the contents of the encoded strings in Fiesta EK pages, Context recreated this function in the form of the following Python script:
A copy of this script can be downloaded from here.
When we ran this script against our sample file we received the following output:
From this list of strings Context was able to identify a number of potential attack vectors included in the script.
After a delay of approximately 10 minutes from the drive-by attack two executable files were observed being downloaded by the host from the IP address 18.104.22.168 (Beijing, China).
At the time of writing 'clock.exe' was identified as malicious by 33/46 VirusTotal vendors with the majority calling it 'Papras':
According to F-Secure, 'Papras' is a Trojan that steals login credentials and uses a rootkit to hide itself.
The file 'setini.exe' was detected by 23/47 VirusTotal vendors was identified by the name 'Pony' and 'fareit' amongst others.
This file is an information stealer that is also used to download additional malware such as Zeus.
Sadly, the home user has little chance to determine whether malicious code has been injected onto a webpage. As always, keeping browser patching levels up to date drastically reduces the attack surface area as the exploit kit will have fewer or no vulnerabilities to exploit. But if your organisation isn't willing to carry this risk, you may want to consider in-depth network monitoring.
Thanks to Cisco for raising Fiesta in their post and the original groundwork by malware don't need coffee. Thanks also to the excellent Kahu Security for the background information.

Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) transport aircraft flying over Iraq are equipped with a safety device missing from a British plane shot down in 2005, in which an Australian died.
Documents obtained by the BBC show that an Royal Air Force (RAF) Hercules shot down over Iraq with the loss of all aboard in January last year was not equipped with the explosive-suppressant foam devices fitted to the Australian aircraft.
The British aircraft crashed after it was hit by ground fire that caused an explosion in the right-wing fuel tank.
It was the biggest single loss of British life in Iraq since the invasion of the country in 2003.
Former RAAF airman Flight Lieutenant Paul Pardoel, of Victoria, was among those killed.
The 35-year-old, father-of-three had lived in Britain for three years and was on contract to the RAF.
An Australian defence spokesman said the protective equipment aboard RAAF C-130H and C-130J model Hercules included electronic warfare self-protection equipment, explosives suppression foam and ballistic protection systems.
Flight decks are protected by additional armour.
The spokesman said there had been occasions when countermeasures had been deployed.
"C-130 electronic warfare self-protection systems are designed to provide protection from sensed ground-to-air threats," he said.
"The specific nature, frequency and timings of sensed threats are classified as they provide a potential source of feedback to those seeking to harm ADF (Australian Defence Force) personnel. This feedback could be utilised by those potentially targeting ADF people to refine and improve their tactics."
In one reported incident, a single insurgent bullet penetrated a RAAF C-130, striking an American passenger to the back of the head, killing him instantly.
As well as protective measures aboard the aircraft, RAAF crews adopt flight profiles designed to minimise the risk of attack by insurgents armed with either small arms or shoulder-launched missiles.
Flying to and from Baghdad International Airport, RAAF C-130s descend to near tree-top level and follow the terrain to minimise the time for an insurgent to attack.
In a statement, the British Ministry of Defence (MoD) acknowledged that the RAF board of inquiry into the crash had found the lack of a fuel tank inerting system had been among the contributing factors.
"Whilst such a system may have prevented an explosion in the wing, the board concluded that it would not necessarily have prevented a fire," it said.
"Although such a system would have increased the probability of the aircraft's survival, neither the board of inquiry nor the independent senior air accident investigator concluded that it would definitely have changed the tragic outcome."
Paul Pardoel's father, John Pardoel said he didn't understand why the British air force had only begun to use the system this month
"Other air forces used it but they didn't, and I don't know why," Mr Pardoel told ABC radio.
"This is after the facts, now the question remains, of course, why they didn't and others did."

BuffaloBills.com reports: 'The Buffalo Bills have released the following six players...'.
Losman's hard knock is Brown's gain [8:51 AM]
Buffalo News reports: 'Although Losman's injury is a setback in terms of his development, it won't have a major impact on the depth chart. Brown is entrenched as the No. 2 QB. He has had a good training camp, earning praise from the coaching staff. "He's done well," Mularkey said. "I like his field presence. I think the players feed off of his emotions. They believe he can move the ball."'
It's Q&A time for NFL fans [8:51 AM]
Buffalo News reports: 'If you have a question on the Bills or the NFL in general, Question Mark and he'll respond to several questions each week.'
Bills weigh their options [5:10 AM]
Rochester D&C reports: 'Doctors will insert a plate into Losman's leg to stabilize the fracture and speed up the healing process. Still, the team has indicated the first-round pick from Tulane � who signed a five-year contract with $5.6 million in guaranteed money � could miss eight to 12 weeks.'
Van Pelt not an option for Bills [5:09 AM]
Rochester D&C reports: '"I couldn't play now," Van Pelt said. "It's not an option."'
Losman feels down, but not out [5:08 AM]
Rochester D&C reports: '"I told him last night it's eight or 12 weeks, whatever it is, but it's a very small portion of what his career is going to be all about," Brown said. "Don't dwell on it, come back as strong as ever and stay plugged in mentally. That's what I told him."'
Bills Resume Practice without Losman [5:07 AM]
BuffaloBills.com reports: 'The Bills currently have three additional quarterbacks on their roster: starter Drew Bledsoe, five-year veteran Travis Brown, and undrafted free agent Greg Zolman, who competed in NFL Europe this past season playing with Rhein. "Travis has played well and we'll still go (into the season) as we were before the injury," Mularkey said. "I don't think there is going to be a change there."'
Opportunity for Zolman [8:58 PM]
RNews.com reports: '"When I do get the reps I get a little more now than I did. Just do the best I can with them and try to learn from any mistakes that I do make," Zolman said.'
Student Leaders to Give Back to Community [5:31 PM]
BuffaloBills.com reports: 'This year, 26 local students were selected to participate in the year-long program, started by Bills President and General Manager Tom Donahoe. The Bills received well over 100 applications that require the students to write an essay describing examples of when they have shown leadership skills in their high school and community.'
Tutors emphasizing mechanics, techniques [5:30 PM]
ESPN reports: '"Hey, a lot of teams have one (assistant) who coaches the (offensive) tackles and another one who works with the interior linemen," noted Bledsoe, who has been sharper in camp than he was a year ago. "Teams will have a coach for the safeties and another coach for the cornerbacks. So why not have a separate coach for your quarterbacks? It's a position where, definitely, the demands of the job keep getting tougher."'
Vincent upset over Losman's injury [5:29 PM]
AP reports: '''There's nothing I could do to change it,'' Vincent said. ''I know his importance to this football team. ... He's a fiery young guy, the sky's the limit for him. No one wants to be in a cast at this point in time in their career.'''

Lockport Union Sun and Journal reports: 'The Colts are expected to play their starters into the third quarter against the Bills. "If you want to get your dress rehearsal week in, Week 3 is kind of the way to go,� Colts coach Tony Dungy said. �It�s really the week we like to get geared in and playing well."'
Teague Not Worried About O-Line [12:43 PM]
BuffaloBills.com reports: '"These things happen in camp all the time," Teague said. "People get banged up over the course of the four weeks here and coaches constantly rotate guys to get a look at how they play. It's a physical sport, especially up front. It's all part of the game and I don't think there's anything to worry about."'
Bills QB Losman to have surgery on broken leg [12:42 PM]
AP reports: 'Bills president Tom Donahoe said it's premature to discuss whether the team will bring in an additional quarterback or determine whether to end Losman's season by placing him on the injured reserve list.'
The billboard [11:02 AM]
Buffalo News reports: '"I look at it as taking advantage of an opportunity," McGahee said Tuesday. "Really, it's just another game. I've started in practice with the (first team) before, but it wasn't nothing. But this is a game, and the only difference is this is more competitive."'
Losman out with fractured fibula [8:50 AM]
Buffalo News reports: 'The injury is similar to the one suffered last year by Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Vick, who fractured his right fibula during the preseason. Vick missed 12 games.'
Losman breaks leg in practice [5:10 AM]

Sportsticker reports: '"I was running and keeping him from going out of bounds and he was cutting back and our shoulder pads just barely grazed on his cutback," Vincent said. "At the same time he planted, I think our shoulder pads met."'
Bills Team Report [5:07 AM]
The Sporting News reports: 'The Bills ranked 31st in punt returns last year and were inconsistent on kickoff returns. Antonio Brown, who held those duties most of 2003, could lose both jobs. WR Josh Reed opened the preseason as the No. 1 kickoff returner, and Terrence McGee had 85- and 34-yard kick returns in the second preseason game. CB Nate Clements has the inside track on handling punts, though the team would prefer not to use a starter there.'
Bills' Losman Breaks Leg [10:24 PM]

Biological and Environmental Sciences M.S., Ph.D.
Specialization: Ecology and Ecosystem Sciences (EES)
The Ecology and Ecosystems (EES) group brings together faculty and graduate students to solve problems at the forefront of ecology and ecosystem science. We define ecology broadly; our research interests cover the spectrum of biological organization from microbes to ecosystems, and take us to terrestrial and aquatic habitats worldwide. Our work is an exciting mix of basic research on natural systems, coupled with work designed to inform social policy, resource management, and conservation practices.
Prospective students
A strong advisor-student relationship is central to the EES program. Prospective students should contact faculty directly prior to applying in order to explore mutual interests. Flexibility in our graduate program also encourages our students to work across traditional departmental boundaries and they often seek interdisciplinary collaborations.
What should I submit with my online application?
All applications must be submitted online using the ApplyYourself system. EES application deadlines are outlined in the FAQs section. For access to the system and detailed instructions on what must be submitted, please visit the URI Graduate School web pages. In addition to the graduate school submission requirements, please make sure the following are also included in your application materials submitted on ApplyYourself:
- At the beginning of your personal statement, list one or more potential advisors in bold-face type.
- Arrange for submission of two letters of recommendation.
- Submit a scan of your GRE scores, uploaded as "supplemental materials" (in addition to requesting that ETS send a copy directly to URI).
- Consider submitting any additional materials that provide direct evidence of relevant experience or writing ability, such as published papers, research posters, or reports. Please upload any such documents as "supplemental materials".

Mommie Dearest: Going To Hell In A Handbag
There are a lot of worries parents might have as their child heads off to school: academic struggles, not getting along with teachers or classmates, bad behavior. The potential consequences for these concerns are worrisome as well. As a mother (and one who used to teach high school social studies), I don't think it's all that unusual to fret over things like these.
But one thing I didn't think I'd have to be worried about is the possibility of my son being suspended for his sense of style. A 13-year-old 8th grader from Kansas was recently suspended for wearing a Vera Bradley handbag while attending school.
Suspended. For having a quilted bag. Seriously.
Skylar Davis [above] was told to take off his bag at school, which he had been wearing daily since August. When he was refused, he was sent home and suspended, with the instruction that he could return to school, but only without his bag.
Let's break this down for a second. A 13-year-old boy (with the style sense of a 45-year-old suburban Mom from Connecticut notwithstanding) was told he could not go to school because of his bag. As noted by KCTV, the Anderson School District handbook doesn't state anywhere that handbags are prohibited. More importantly, it was noted that other students — girl students — carried purses and bags with them in school with no issue.
So what the hell is going on here? Are we so wrapped up in traditional gender stereotypes that we're willing to disrupt a young man's education over a freaking quilted, paisley purse?! Is the concept of masculinity that fragile that an 8th grader exhibiting a sense of self-confidence and independence can somehow dismantle the entire concept with one accessory?
The school has yet to comment publicly on this story – which is quite telling. And all calls made to Assistant Principal Don Hillard, who enacted the suspension, have so far gone unanswered.
There are a few things at play here. First, there could certainly be underlying homophobia present within the school – both within the school culture itself and the larger infrastructure of the community. I don't know Garnett, Kansas or the Anderson School District at all, but it doesn't seem like a large leap to make. Yet, regardless of the sexual orientation of this young boy — and we have no idea what it is, nor should it matter — there is a clear disdain for anyone stepping outside a pre-described, and frankly outdated, set of gender stereotypes.
Look, I could get nitpicky. The particular Vera Bradley bag that Skyler has is actually called a "messenger bag" per the Vera Bradley website, so it's not actually a purse. But it's beyond whether it's a purse or handbag or messenger bag. It's about the fact that a school district is depriving a student of education because he dresses, or rather in this case, accessorizes, outside the norm. He is not hurting anyone else with his style, nor is he even disrupting the day-to-day learning process.
And here's why it concerns me. Today I sent my son off to school wearing a pink cloth headband — his choice. My almost seven-year-old son has long, blond, curly hair. He gets mistaken for a girl on the reg, but has learned to brush it off and politely correct folks. Thankfully, we live in a progressive, liberal enclave where nobody bats an eye, and he's not even the boy with the longest hair in his school (or even on his all boy's town-sponsored soccer team, where three other boys rocked hair longer than their shoulders). My son also rocks a handbag. He has many of them — most handmade from various friends and given as gifts. And he fills his handbag up with ninjas and Lego pieces and mini swords, but that's besides the point. My son is who he is and he doesn't hurt anyone or go out of his way to do things to purposefully make anyone uncomfortable. He's a kid, comfortable with who he is and what he likes, and he's just living his life.
But what if we lived elsewhere? What if we lived someplace that gave him shit for his sparkly nails or headbands? What if he decided to tote his school supplies in one of his handbags instead of the rainbow tie-dyed backpack he currently uses? What if he was a student at a school that decided his bag was worth risking his education and creating a bigger deal and stigma?
It appalls me that a school — a place we send our children to learn, expand their minds, and discover their potential—- is punishing a student for being who he is. Skylar isn't breaking any rules, distracting anyone else, or hurting anyone. And yet he is the one being targeting. What lesson is that sending to Skylar and his fellow classmates?

Bankruptcy Law
Bankruptcy Law Questions? Ask a Bankruptcy Lawyer.
Can I be expected to work without pay?
A: No -- that would be involuntary servitude, under the U.S. Constitution, 13th Amendment -- which is beyond the powers of any U.S. Court to order (except in a public emergency).
If I resign so I can look for work without breaking my fiduciary duty, will I become inelligible for unemployemnt benefits?
A: You state that you are on the "board of directors." Directors are not employees of a corporation -- only officers are. If you are a corporation employee or officer, then you can resign your job, and continue as a director -- so, there would be no breach of fiduciary.
Hope this helps.
NOTICE: If you are on a subscription plan, your clicking Accept does not generate any additional charges to your user account. It only indicates your satisfaction with my answer.
Terms and Conditions: By your continuing in this conversation with me, or by your clicking "Accept", you are expressly agreeing to all of the following: (1) our communication is for entertainment purposes only; (2) you are not consulting me in my professional capacity as an attorney; (3) you do not seek to establish an attorney-client relationship with me, nor do I with you; (4) you will not rely on anything I say and you will obtain appropriate legal counsel via a traditional/office consultation with an attorney licensed to practice in the jurisdiction where your legal issue arises (and you may not use our communication to avoid taxpayer penalties imposed by the U.S. Dept. of Treasury); (5) by communicating with me in this public forum you are irrevocably waiving any right to privacy, confidentiality and attorney-client privilege concerning the matters discussed. You further separately declare that any payment made by you is not consideration for this contract, nor offered for any services rendered by me on your behalf, but rather is made in genuine admiration and respect for my desire to help others. If you do not agree with these terms and conditions, then you must advise me immediately.
It's actually your duty of loyalty that would be at issue -- not your fiduciary obligations. Regardless, unless your employment contract states that you will not resign, which once again, would be unenforceable as involuntary servitude, then you are free to terminate your employment "at will." And, as soon as you do, you no longer have a duty of loyalty.
Seeking new employment while remaining employed would be more likely to implicate your duties to the corporation, than would your resigning first.
I could be wrong, but I'm not seeing a problem in your resignation here.
Re unemployment benefits, there is no Michigan appellate case law on point with your facts.
In Warren v. Caro Community Hospital, 457 Mich. 361, 579 N.W.2d 343 (Mich. 05/19/1998), the Michigan Supreme Court writes:
You are currently unemployed, because you are not being compensated for your labor. Your unemploment is involuntary, because you have not caused your nonpayment of wages. If the bankruptcy court is likely to ultimately approve your back wages, then that could be a mitigating factor weighing against your right to unemployment benefits, because it would mean that you were entitled to be paid -- you just had to wait to receive the payment
Conversely, federal law doesn't require employees to work without compensation -- to the contrary, the Fair Labor Standards Act requires that employees must be compensanted at least at the minimum wage.
The botXXXXX XXXXXne here is that I cannot give you a definitive answer about UI benefit rights associated with a bankruptcy court's approval of insider wages and the insider's temporary nonreceipt during the pendency of the bankruptcy action, because the issue, as far as I can tell, has not been litigated in the jurisdiction. I doubt that the DLEG uemployment office can tell you how it would rule, though you can certainly contact them and ask someone what he/she thinks. After that, you'll have to pick a course and then follow it.
For me, my decision would be based upon the likelihood of my being awarded back pay. If yes, I would probably stay, because the back pay will exceed the UI benefits.
An insider's right to wages during Chapter 11 is based on whether or not the compensation is "overly generous." In my view, if the business is ongoing and capable of coming out of Chapter 11, the that suggests to me that you will eventually be paid -- which suggests that resigning may be counterproductive.

Ping Pong Fireballs
You probably know that one of the best ways to fight fire is with fire -- if you carefully burn an area ahead of a fire, then when it gets there it can't burn any further. But did you know that the forest service uses ping pong balls to start controlled fires? In an airplane or helicopter, a firefighter injects a clear liquid into a small hole in a ping pong ball containing a purple solid. Nothing happens at first, and the firefighter tosses the ball to the ground. After a few seconds, it bursts into an intense flame.
This is a reaction known as "delayed fire." The purple solid in the ping pong ball is potassium permanganate (KMnO4), and the clear liquid is glycerine (C3H8O3). When the two substances are combined, nothing happens at first, but after a few seconds the mixture starts to boil and smoke, and then bursts into an intense flame.
4C3H8O3 + 14KMnO47K2CO3 + 7 Mn2O3 + 5CO2 + 16H2O + heat

ABC's 'The Bachelor' And 'The Bachelorette' Staring Down Racial Discrimination Suit
TMZ and The Huffington Post report today that the makers of ABC's hit reality dating shows "The Bachelor" and "The Bachelorette" will soon face a lawsuit alleging discrimination against casting minority singles.
Attorneys representing Nathaniel Claybrooks and Christopher Johnson will allegedly file their federal court complaints Wednesday morning against ABC production companies Warner Horizon Television, Next Entertainment, NZK Productions and excecutive producer Mike Fleiss.
The filing reportedly alleges that the two men attended a Nashville casting session for "The Bachelor" but a producer left them out of the audition process - both men believe, because they were black. Both claim that a producer asked what they two were doing there.
That will be tough to prove, but here's something that isn't: in 23 seasons between the two shows, there has never been a black "Bachelor." Fleiss did say to Entertainment Weekly last year that it's been a priority behind the scenes to cast one, but "it's just that for whatever reason, they don't come forward. I wish they would."
What a time for ABC to confront another lawsuit. The network and producers of "Desperate Housewives" escaped Nicollette Sheridan's wrongful termination suit with a hung jury declared March 19. Sheridan had alleged that she was suddenly written off the series following a 2008 mid-rehearsal spat with creator Marc Cherry. She pursued a $5.7-million claim based in part on a claim that Cherry struck her in the head during a discussion about dialogue.

Best to be lead explorer before the course starts, though. You'll find a lot of people here swear by HtDP, How to Design Programs. You might give it a go. It's a book you can buy, and it's a book you can download for free (as far as I remember). Just work through the exercises, using drscheme. It won't take long for you to get the idea. And, of course, you can always ask help on this list.. And of course, other recommendations are bound to appear in this thread in the next few days. Good luck! -- hendrik

Billiards guide
Note: The contents of this guide were checked for accuracy when this article was updated on June 21, 2006 at 1:02 p.m. We continually update the thousands of articles on OnMilwaukee.com, but it's possible some details, specials and offers may have changed. As always, we recommend you call first if you have specific questions for the businesses mentioned in the guide.
For some odd reason, as a youngster I was a fan of Minnesota Fats. Why? I'm not sure. Maybe it was the cigar, maybe the fine young ladies that used to follow him into the pool halls, or maybe it was just the sport of billiards.
Growing up in Milwaukee, you are expected to bowl and play soccer and softball. No one is really pushed into the sport of billiards. Nonetheless, the sport has survived and prospered mainly because it's fun and easy to learn.
But when you want more than the pool table in the corner bar, where do you go to shoot stick in Milwaukee? Here's our rundown of four of the area's finest pool halls. We've included comments from a little web site called poolrooms.com. These halls all come highly recommended.
Lenny's Wisconsin Billiards
2715 W. Wisconsin Ave.
(414) 344-5666
"A serious pool player's room, near downtown Milwaukee. About 20 first class Brunswick 9-foot tables, and a couple of billiard tables, make this a good room for dedicated players."
Romine's High Pockets
6125 S. 27th St.
(414) 281-2212
With 50 tables, and nearly that many TV's, Romine's is one of the finest upscale pool rooms in the country. Friday night handicapped 9-ball tournaments bring out the best competition in Milwaukee. Two heated Songard billiard tables get regular use also. Romine's includes a fine Mexican restaurant, dance floor and is a great place to watch Packers games."
2454 N. Grandview Blvd., Waukesha
(262) 650-1599
"An upscale room, Sharkey's includes many leather couches surrounding its 15 or so 9' Gold Crown tables. Sharkey's includes a restaurant along with video games, and a large U-shaped bar."
So, what are you waiting for? Grab your water buffalo tipped and Irish linen wrapped cue stick and head out for an evening of billiards fun in Milwaukee!Sunset Bowl Entertainment Center
333 W. Sunset Dr., Waukesha
(262) 542-9191
Not strictly speaking a pool hall, but the Sunset Bowl includes billiards among its many diversions, which also include darts, bowling leagues, volleyball and more. Not the kind of place you'd likely find guys nicknamed Fats and Slim, but a good place to shoot pool with the kids or to rack 'em up with friends.
OMCreader | July 11, 2006 at 9:32 p.m. (report)
Kyle said: Nice piece, however, I feel that the Union Recreation Center at UWM deserves mention. Quality 9 foot tables and you can't beat the price. Also, the room has recently went smoke free if that's your thing.

Teeth Whitening is Painful but Worth It

You sit on a chair where you have a machine shine a bright light on your teeth for hours. I had no idea this experience would actually hurt.

A green product's value is determined holistically by considering the energy savings it brings to the end user, the manufacture of its materials, and how far those materials were required to travel for assembly. The fabric on a wall panel, for instance, may be adept at removing a high percentage of VOCs from the interior of schools and hospitals—but a week-long, cross-country journey through the supply chain in order to arrive at its final destination may negate some of the green technology's benefits.
We asked building-product manufacturers exhibiting at the Greenbuild International Conference and Expo, Nov. 20-22 in Philadelphia, to identify the origin of materials used in their products. And some manufacturing plants are closer to their sources than one might think. Mouse over the icons on the map to trace the paths of a variety of building materials and read about the products below.
Hometown: Medina, Wash.
BikeLid, BikeLid, LLC • Manufactured in Idaho from post-consumer recycled polyethylene and steel, these lockers protect bicycles from theft and weather, and they have been used in many LEED-certified projects. Sourcing: Nampa, Idaho (steel); Caldwell, Idaho (plastic)
Hometown: Homer, N.Y.
Pounce Systems, Cortland Research • Made in the neighboring city of Groton, N.Y., this system of wireless electrical switches and outlets has built-in metering and can remotely control energy usage, as well as room temperature based on occupancy. Sourcing: Sherburne, N.Y. (plastic components); Oneida, N.Y. (wiring); Whitman, Mass. (metal stamped parts)
Hometown: Cambridge, Mass.
Aluminum windows, Yaro Windows + Doors • Though it employs the window profiles developed by manufacturing partner Schüco, a Germany company, Yaro makes its Passive House Uf 0.18 aluminum window system in nearby Northampton, Mass. Sourcing: Borgholzhausen, Germany (Schüco window profiles); various regional locations (aluminum)
Hometown: Racine, Wis.
Thru-Wall bricks, CalStar Products • Comprising 37 percent recycled content, CalStar's bricks contain 81 percent less embodied energy and generate 84 percent less carbon dioxide in their manufacture than do conventional bricks. They do not use Portland cement or need to be kiln fired. Sourcing: Oak Creek, Wis. (fly ash), various local locations (sand)
Hometown: Spring Lake, Mich.
LiveWall, LiveWall Green Wall Systems • Plants can clad building façades or become freestanding installations using LiveWall's track-mounted planters, which are made from recycled, architectural-grade plastic. Sourcing: Grand Haven, Mich. (planters); Niles, Mich. (rails)
Hometown: Fort Wayne, Ind.
Environmentalist/Zero-Bleed 2000, Superior Manufacturing Corp. • This chemical-free water treatment system uses magnetic fields to prevent hard-water lime-scale buildup in HVAC equipment. Sourcing: Fort Wayne, Ind. (steel framework, magnet)
Hometown: Conroe, Texas
Flowtite water storage tank, Containment Solutions • Manufactured right in the company's headquarters, the underground fiberglass tank can store rainwater, graywater, and potable water, as well as separate oil and other contaminants from water for irrigation use. Sourcing: Houston, Texas (fiberglass)
Hometown: Tuscaloosa, Ala.
SheerWeave Infinity2, Phifer • Recyclable and PVC-free, this window shade fabric is woven from a pre-consumer byproduct from another manufacturer (in Atlanta) and made at Phifer's Alabama headquarters. Sourcing: Atlanta, Ga. (shade fabric)
Hometown: Cumming, Ga.
Type DID632 active chilled beam, Trox • Chilled beams allow air handlers and ducts to be sized smaller. Julie Mullen, AIA, an associate and senior project manager at Perkins+Will, selected Trox active chilled beams for the Moses H. Cone Memorial Hospital's North Tower expansion project in Greensboro, N.C. "From an infection-control point of view, you're not recycling air that gets air mixed with other air in patient rooms," she says. Sourcing: Texas and Mississippi (Trox would not disclose individual materials or the cities they were sourced from)

When you arrived a new city, you must want to know local weather in order to manage your travel line and time. Then you have to search on internet or ask local person. But now you would not worry about this problem. Today weather application can help you to get the city's(where you are staying) weather condition. It can show you your location(country and city), date, conditions and forecast weather in the next two days.
Now lets view its feather in detail:
1.Location place: city and country. It can not detect weather in America but also in Europe
2.Date: time, date, month, weekend, year
3.Weather conditions: Sun or cloudy or rain etc; temperature and and chill; barometer; humidity; sunrise time and sunset time.
4.Forecast in the next two days: weather condition, the high temperature and the low temperature.
5.You can choose "enable severe weather alerts based on current device location" or not.
6.The weather condition can be expressed by a vivid picture on the right corner of the opening page.
Weather is the state of the atmosphere, about the degree that it is hot or cold, ,clear or cloudy,wet or dry, calm or stormy. Most weather phenomena occurs in the troposphere, just under the stratosphere. Weather generally refers to day-to-day temperature and precipitation activity, whereas climate is the term for the average atmospheric states over a longer periods of time. When it is used without qualification, "weather" also is understood to be the weather of Earth.
Weather is driven by denseness (temperature and moisture) differences between one place and another place. These differences can occur due to the sun angle at any particular spots, which varies with latitude from the tropics. The strong temperature contrast between polar and tropical air gives rise to the jet stream. Weather systems in the mid-latitudes, such as extra tropical cyclones, are caused by instabilities of the jet stream flow. Because the Earth's axis is tilted relative to its orbital plane, sunlight is incident at different angles at different times of the year. On Earth's surface, temperatures usually range ±40 °C (100 °F to −40 °F) annually. Over thousands of years, changes in Earth's orbit affect the amount and distribution of solar energy received by the Earth and influence long-term climate and global climate change.

Enjoying the Melbourne Skyline
Here's another photo from our amazing Melbourne photowalk. I really enjoyed walking up and down this area along the river. It felt like one of the most "walkable" and scenic downtown areas I've ever encountered. It reminded me a little of Zurich in that way.
I stayed over in The Olsen hotel, which is one of the "Art Series" hotels… a very cool idea where the entire hotel is themed after a certain artist. They have a few different hotels, and next time I might try to stay a little closer in by the location where I took this shot.

Family Planning and Homeopathy
Homeopathic Journal :: Volume: 2, Issue: 3, Jan 2009 (New Papers) - from Homeorizon.com
|Article Updated: Oct 18, 2009
Birth control is an important matter of discussion in the present time. Almost all the countries of the world including our country, have greeted this control Researches are being under taken on this subject continuously for finding new methods.
But all there are limited to the allopathic system of treatment only. They are engaged in the endeavor of making the methods of birth control simply by applying. Some where either oral medicines or surgery. Although they are claiming that no harm is caused to the users. Even though some harms are occurring. We have seen in the field of medicine that there are many people who suffer from different symptoms either after vasectomy tubectomy or by taking oral allopathic medicines. Although the Allopathic investigations have been trying to lessen these complications yet it is difficult for them to succeed in all cases. But we Homoeopaths have some such medicines by the application of which we can lessen some sufferings.
Before telling about Homoeopathic contraceptive, I will like to explain that how the conception takes place.e.
More than lacs of sperms fall in to the vagina with semen at the time of copulation. These sperm move towards the uterus as soon as they fall into the vagina sperms were living in the alkaline semen. But the vaginal juice is Acid. So most of the sperms start dying in 1 or 2 hours after penetrating in to the vagina. Only few of those move quickly towards the cervix of the womb. Where they are capable of living because the juice of which is present there is alkaline. Then sperms move forwards after penetrating in to the womb. There are two tubes at each upper corner on the either side of uterus which are called fallopian tubes, free end of which remain is ovaries. The sperms then move through these tubes. In the ovaries ova comes out on 14th day of menstruation and arrangement for conception happens automatically by the union of ova and sperm. The union is called, "fertilization". Some times sperm die without being fertilized when egg arrives too late, then conception cannot happen. The life of sperm and ova is about 48 hours.
Now question is, Have we any medicine for birth control in the field of Homoeopathic Medical Science? Many of the Mongrel section Homoeopathy believe that there is no medicine in Homoeopathy for birth control. But how it could be believed that there will be no medicines in a perfect natural science, which has given lives to many dying patients, by curing them of several maladies and has provided a shelter for in this world.d.
Then by going through the books of world fame Homoeopaths, I realized that the power of conception is destroyed by the use of Homoeopathic medicines.
Some of the famous Homoeopaths of the world have realized that Nat.mur. , Plumbum met., merc.sol. , Apis.mel. etc. are efficacious Homoeopathic drugs for birth control. Therapeutical value of these medicines is mentioned below.
Nat.mur. : - Sodium is present in each cell of the body. This Sodium after coming out of the internal juice of the cell and combining with the expanding chlorine forms the chloride of sodium, Sodium chloride or Nat.mur. produces acidic juice in combining with blood after penetrating in to body. It prevents forming of basic juice Sperms can not exist if basic juice of P. H. value rises for 7.8-8. Now it is our duty to increase the acidic juice in the vagina, then Sperms can not exist in it.
In this case the role of Nat.mur. is important, because it does not harm the body. I have realized by examination some women for a few months that the conception is delayed by taking Nat.mur. regularly.
Characteristics- The number of women having the characteristics of Nat.mur. Almost every body takes more or less salt. Falling of hair, constipation, Anemia and skin Diseases are often found in the women.
Directions for Use: - Dr. P. Banerjee has advised for using it Biochemic-preparation and he says, "staring for 2nd or 5th day of menstrual period Nat.mur- 3x (5 tablets at a time)" should be taken either with a little should be taken either with a little warm water or freely by sucking in the mouth regularly until the next menstruation is happened,
In the Ist month - Nat.mur. 3x, 4 tablets at a time everyday in the evening.
In the next month - Nat.mur. 6x 4 tablets at a time each day in the evening.
In the next following months- Nat.mur. 12x, 4 tablets at a time each day in the evening.
In the next following month- Nat.mur. 30x, 4 tablets at a time each day in the evening.
In the next following month i.e. in the 5 month i.e. in the 5 month only one dose of Nat.mur. 1000 is to given on the 5th day. Only that one dose will do.
Again in the month - i.e. 6th month - Nat.mur. 3x the 7th month- Nat.mur. 6x, 8th month 12x, 9th month 30x and 10th month Nat.mur. 1000 one dose. It is to be continued in this manner. But carefulness is necessary at the time ovulation. The quantity of Acidic juice in the vagina will increase by taking medicine and consequently. Spermatozoa will be destroyed.
Now regarding the doses of Nat.mur. Dr. Boerick has preferred high potency with frequent repetition. Hence four doses of "Nat.mur. 200" taken by women on first, second, third and fourth day after the cessation of menstruation, produces such reactions that fertilization during the month become unlikely. These doses must be repeated after every menses till conception is not desired. This is most reliable, cheap and convenient method for contraception. This method is successfully in majority of the cases.
Now, another question arises that what benefits will be experienced in women's body after taking Nat.mur. ? There will be free evacuation of the Bowels. The liver will be refreshed, leucorrhoea will be prevented, ovum will be released - but there is a less possibility of being conceived, skin disease will be cured, regular menstruation will occur and glamour of the body will increase.
Disserries of Nat.mur. : - The blood pressure may some times increase a little but that will be relieved by application of antidote medicines viz. Sepia or Camphor.
Now another question rises that when will the effectiveness of Nat.mur. be perceived? Alter taking it for a few days, the women would perceive hotness in the vagina by the ejection of Semen during copulation which indicates the chemical action of the medicines, she had never experience such hot before.
Mercurius: - Dr. Kent has described this medicines in this material medica that women who have been in the habit of taking mercury for biliousness remain sterile.
In the same way other medicines like Plumbum met. , Apis.mel. and Coffea are used as a contraceptive in Homoeopathy.
At last we can say gladly the Homoeopathic medicines are good contraceptives, causing no complications.
Therefore, I must care to say that Homoeopathic medicines are more superior and efficacious than the other system of medicines.

Strindberg's apartment
The apartment in the Blue Tower is the only one of Strindberg's 24 homes in Stockholm that you can see today. Strindberg lived here between 1908 and 1912. The house at No 85 Drottninggatan was newly erected (1907), drawn by the architect's office Hagström & Ekman, with all modern conveniences including central heating, water closets, and an elevator. The apartment had no kitchen though; Strindberg rented it from Falkner's family hotel on the fifth floor and had his food sent down. But as the hotel closed down its business after a while, he had to get his meals from a nearby restaurant. Furniture and other objects were bought in the main between 1909 and 1910. This part of the museum is a reconstruction of Strindberg's apartment; most of the furniture are original, wall paper and textiles are copies.
The foyer
Strindberg put up cheap, printed wallpaper friezes with mildly romanticizing motifs in the foyer. The water-colour painting is a copy of the Oscar Björck painting in the entrance hall of Dramaten (the Royal Dramatic Theatre). Below this painting stands an ice-box that used to hold chilled drinks.
The bedroom
On his sixtieth birthday (January 22, 1909), and again on his sixty-third birthday in 1912, Strindberg was honored with a great torchlight procession. In a letter to his friend Richard Bergh, Strindberg declared that on account of illness he would not be able to take the salutes in person. Instead he would place his 'beautiful electrical lamp with the red eye pointíng towards Tegnérlunden, so that the torch- bearing crowd would recognise his balcony'. Still on the day of celebration Strindberg appeared together with his daughter Anne-Marie on the balcony outside his bedroom to receive the people´s laud. August Strindberg died in his bed after lingering illness on May 14, 1912.
The dining-room
Strindberg furnished his rooms in a way as stage sets from his own plays. The colour scheme in the dining-room bright yellow, green, and red typifies this decorative plan. There are two small busts of Goethe and Schiller, and over the piano hangs a mask of Beethoven, his favourite composer. The suite of wicker furniture beneath the potted palm was called 'Lagerlunden' (the Laurel Grove) by Strindberg, after a well-known café close to Operakällaren, frequented by actors and authors. Above the sofa hangs a photo of his daughter Anne-Marie.
The study
Strindberg kept meticulous order on his desk. The present arrangement is exactly as it was at the time of his death. In his study, as well as in the attic library, Strindberg used no electric lighting only kerosene lamps and wax candles in candlesticks shaped as female bodies. Strindberg's writing materials were of the highest quality: British steel nibs, French ink and hand made paper from Lessebo.
The libray
When Strindberg moved into the Blue Tower in 1908, he had no room for his large library. Rather than disposing of it, he left his books in the possession of a pawnbroker. In 1909 Strindberg rented this studio apartment, which he furnished , as he had furnished his apartment, in the style of high art noveau. The following year he redeemed his library from the pawnbroker and moved it to this room.
Strindberg arranged the room as an additional study. He also placed a
bust of himself made by Carl Eldh here as well as some laurel wreaths.
Strindberg was among other things interested in astronomy. Together with
his friend the professor in physics Vilhelm Carlheim-Gyllenskiöld, who
also registered the whole library, he used to study the stars in his
Strindberg´s library is primarily a research library, containing 6.800 books about a.o. history, language, astronomy and chemistry and other sciences but also main works by a.o. Shakespeare, Goethe, Swedenborg and Balzac.
