Title: Data-driven Geometry Processing
Many geometry processing tasks require understanding geometric data from human perspective. Recent growth of large online repositories of 3D shapes and advances in machine learning enable building data models that can be used to understand similarities, variations, semantics, and functionality of 3D objects. There two main challenges in using machine learning for geometry processing. First, we need to collect human annotations to learn functional and semantic attributes of shapes. And second, we need to develop novel geometric representations that are compatible with state-of-the-art machine learning algorithms. To address the first challenge, we developed several techniques that significantly reduce the cost of human supervision by combining several types of crowd-sourced worker tasks, automatic label propagation, and meta-data that comes for free with the 3D models. In the second part of my talk I will discuss the challenges, existing solutions, and open research problems in geometric representations for machine learning.
Title: Towards the Expressive Design of Virtual Worlds : Combining Knowledge and Control
Despite our great expressive skills, we humans lack an easy way of conveying the 3D worlds we imagine. While impressive advances were made in the last fifteen years to evolve digital modeling systems into gesture-based interfaces enabling to sketch or sculpt in 3D, modeling is generally limited to the design of isolated, static shapes. In contrast, virtual worlds are composed of distributions or assemblies of elements which are too numerous to be created or even positioned one by one; the shapes of these elements may heavily depend on physical laws and on the interaction with their surroundings; and many of them may be animated, meaning that they should not only be designed in space, but also over time. In this talk, I will explore the recent extensions of expressive modeling metaphors such as sketching, painting, transfer and sculpting, to such complex cases. I will show that models for shape and motion need to be redefined from a user-centered perspective, and in particular embed the necessary knowledge to make them respond in an intuitive way to the user™s control gestures.

PhD Depth Examination: Camera Pose Estimation in Structure-From-Motion - Zhaopeng Cui
Structure-from-motion (SfM) is a fundamental problem in computer vision. It refers to the process of estimating 3d scene structures and camera poses simultaneously from multiple 2d images. Conventional SfM systems often consist of three steps:
1) estimation of point correspondences and relative poses between images
2) estimation of camera motions and 3d points, and
Dr. Richard Zhang will be presenting the talk "Why is Computer Graphics Hard?" as part of SFU's School of Computing Science Colloquium series of research talks by faculty members and grad students.
Title : From Professional Tools to Consumer Fun
The automatic creation of man-made 3D objects is an active area in computer graphics. Mixing and blending of components or sub components from existing example shapes can help users quickly produce interesting and creative designs. A key factor for automating this task is using computer algorithms that can map between objects of different shape and structure. However, due to the coarse correspondence computed by current matching algorithms, automatic shape blending is mainly limited to the substitution of compatible part sets.
Title: Comparing geometric representations for real-time graphics
These days, on the internet, you may have read polarized opinions such as śpolygons are the only serious representation in any serious 3D softwareť, or śthis is the end for polygonsť, when polygons are compared to one of the other geometric representations. While both opinions are ridiculous, we will review some of the advantages and disadvantages of polygons, point cloud and voxels as geometric representations in real-time 3D applications, to get a better appreciation for why those polarized opinions exist, and why, in the end, those opinions do not really matter.

Location: Barnet Marine Park
We introduce an unsupervised analysis of both homogeneous and heterogeneous shape collections, aiming at organizing shapes based on their similarity in structure. We derive the idea of graph representation of shape structure from previous works and a novel graph editing distance based structure matching cost is defined. For any pair of shapes, we propose a searching scheme to find the best matching pair of graphs with the minimal cost.
Space-saving, or collapsible, objects are ubiquitous in our living and working space. They can adjust configurations to either perform their intended functionality or save space, for example, while storing and shipping. This additional space-saving characteristic of collapsible objects comparing to their non-collapsible counterparts makes them more preferable, especially in environments where space is costly.
The majority of existing methods for delineating trees from LIDAR point cloud use a region growing approach. Seed points representing the highest point of the trees (tree-peaks) are detected in the point cloud. The remaining points are iteratively assigned to one of the seed points, thus growing the region representing trees. The tree-peak detection methodologies are based on local geometry analysis, identifying locally highest points within some appropriately sized neighborhood as tree-peaks.
Title: State of the Art in Surface Reconstruction from Point Clouds
The area of surface reconstruction has seen substantial progress in the past two decades. The traditional problem addressed by surface reconstruction is to recover the digital representation of a physical shape that has been scanned, where the scanned data contains a wide variety of defects.
Mesh traversal is a common and essential geometry processing problem in computer graphics. The traversal typically processes each face in a mesh in a systematic and consistent order for different applications such as mesh compression, rendering and mesh simplification. While cache-efficient mesh traversal methods where data and computations are reordered for good cache reuse have been well-studied, their performances are limited by implicit(automatic) memory management. In this work we explore optimizations on Explicitly Managed Memory (EMM) systems.
In the proposed thesis, we address two challenges related to skeletons. The first is to formulate novel ways to define and compute curve skeletons - a specific type of skeleton. The second is to employ skeletons to enhance surface reconstruction for geometry affected by severe amounts of missing data. In solving these challenges we discuss three different approaches.
Title: Discovering Similarities In Diverse Collections of 3D Shapes
Title: Simulating Human Locomotion: Optimization, Uncertainty, and Biomechanics
Locomotion, specifically walking and running, are common and essential human movements. The ability to create physically and biomechanically plausible simulations of locomotion is of interest to applications ranging from game content creation to pathological gait analysis, and can contribute to our understanding of motor control.
However, while humans can move on varied terrains, start and stop on a dime, and recover from trips with ease, getting simulated humanoids to simply walk forward without falling is a challenging task. Achieving locomotion requires solving a high-dimensional, nonlinear, and underactuated control problem. Furthermore, out of all the control strategies that accomplish the task, how do we select one that produces human-like movements? In this talk, the speaker will present an approach to simulate and control 3D humanoid locomotion that produces results matching human data to a much greater extent than previous state-of-the-art.
Title: Towards Automatic Visual Content Creation
Computer graphics has been very successful. However, an important problem still remains unsolved. High quality graphical content (such as 3D models and realistic images or animations) is difficult to create, which limits graphics to mass market products, such as games and movies. To make graphics a media for our daily communication, we must bridge the gap between ordinary people and graphics professionals, and make visual content easy to create for the general public. This talk introduces the speaker's recent work towards this goal.
Physics simulations are widely recognized to be crucial tools for complex special effects in feature films, and real-time simulations are often central game-play elements in modern computer games. There are, however, inherent difficulties with these simulations: we are still very far from being able to accurately simulate the complexity of nature around us. Additionally, the numerical methods that are commonly used are notoriously difficult to fine-tune and control. The central goal of the speaker's research is to address these issues with novel multi-physics solvers.

THIS year's seafood festival in Weymouth was the biggest ever, organisers have said.
They confirmed the event on July-12-13 saw the largest crowd in its seven year history – an estimated 60,000 people flocked to the resort.
The Pommery Dorset Seafood Festival was blessed with glorious weather and stallholders provided a mouth-watering selection of tasty fish dishes for the many thousands of visitors.
This year was the seventh seafood festival and the fifth with Pommery Champagne's support as main sponsor.
In recognition of the company's support and agreement to sponsor the event for the next four years, the Pommery name was added to the Dorset Seafood Festival's title.
Chairman and Co-director of Dorset Seafood Festival Ltd Roger Dalton said: "The event goes from strength to strength and has begun to attract real organic growth.
"This year's level of publicity was on a scale not seen before.
"The economic value of the event to Weymouth is huge and far outweighs one out-of-season weekend; it has a knock on effect, bringing visitors back to check out Weymouth during those quieter times of the year."
This year the star of the show was the humble whelk, thousands of which were served up by chef Taher Jibet of the Dining Room restaurant.
In 2013 Weymouth was the third largest whelk port in England and Wales. The popularity of the whelk stand, which was supported by TABASCO®, has guaranteed the whelk a place at future Festivals. Festival PR Manager, Anna Wallis said: "In addition to the local whelk making a comeback, it's good news that around seventy-three businesses took stands at the festival, with more than two thirds of them being Dorset based and the majority of the others coming from the south west; it was good to see such a high level of local participation."
The festival was also supported by leading sponsors ARA Wines, Weird Fish, Piddle Brewery, Seafish and Lloyds Bank.
The benefiting charity, The Fishermen's Mission, had two stands at the event and over the weekend generated thousands of pounds through the sale of cook books, raffle tickets and fridge magnets, with help from the stall collection boxes, Passionate About Fish demos and face painters.
The final total will be announced once all contributions have been assessed.
Festival Co-director Brian Cooper said: "A huge vote of thanks must go to our team members and, of course, the Weymouth Community Volunteers, all of whom worked so hard over the weekend."
It was supported by other category and media sponsors including the Dorset Echo.
Plans for next year's event have already started and provisional dates announced as July 11 and 12.

Bernard Tissier de Mallerais, SSPX (born 1945) is a bishop of the Society of St. Pius X.
He was declared excommunicated latae sententiae by the Roman Catholic Church because of his unauthorized consecration by Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre on 30 June 1988, deemed by the Holy See to be "unlawful" and "a schismatic act", though some individuals doubt the validity of the excommunication.[1] The excommunication was remitted on 21 January 2009.
Early life and ministry
Tissier de Mallerais was born in Sallanches, Haute-Savoie, France. After obtaining a university degree in biology, he entered the International Seminary of Saint Pius X at Fribourg in October 1969. On June 29, 1975 he was ordained priest by Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre at Ecône. He served first as a professor, then as vice-rector, and finally as rector of the seminary at Ecône. Then he was appointed Secretary General of the SSPX.
SSPX Bishop
After his episcopal consecration Tissier de Mallerais continued in his position of Secretary General of the SSPX until 1996. In 1991, he consecrated Licínio Rangel as bishop for the Priestly Society of St. John Mary Vianney after the death of its founder, bishop Antônio de Castro Mayer.
In 1996, he was charged with writing a biography of Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre; the work was published in 2002.
In that same year, the history professor Luc Perrin claimed that he "went as far as to consider the present Roman Catholic Church is not a Christian Church, casting serious doubts on the validity of the 'conciliar' priesthood, calling it a 'gnostic priesthood' (Homily of June 27, 2002)."[2]
By a decree of 21 January 2009 (Protocol Number 126/2009), which was issued in response to a renewed request that Bishop Fellay made on behalf of all four bishops whom Lefebvre had consecrated on 30 June 1988, the Prefect of the Congregation for Bishops, by the power expressly granted to him by Pope Benedict XVI, remitted the automatic excommunication that they had thereby incurred, and expressed the wish that this would be followed speedily by full communion of the whole of the Society of Saint Pius X with the Church, thus bearing witness, by the proof of visible unity, to true loyalty and true recognition of the Pope's Magisterium and authority.[3]
The canonical situation of three of the four bishops thus became the same as that of the other clergy of the Society, who are suspended a divinis.[4] Bernard Tissier de Mallerais was never suspended a divinis, because he was ordained priest on June 29, 1975. The punishment of the Holy See hits priests ordained by Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre since July, 1976 and a a divinis can never be retroactive.

Don't expect to see D.C. United's Chris Pontius in a competitive match anytime soon.
A pivotal figure in the club's turnaround efforts, Pontius continues to struggle in his return from offseason hamstring surgery and has not resumed full-time training.
"He is still a little ways away," General Manager Dave Kasper told the Insider. "He has good days and bad days. He needs more time."
Pontius, a Best XI selection in 2012 and the club's longest-tenured player, underwent surgery in early November and, despite a less intensive training regimen than his teammates, targeted the Carolina Challenge Cup late in preseason for game action. But a setback during the Florida stage of training camp ended those hopes, as well as the possibility of playing in the March 8 season opener against Columbus, a 3-0 loss at RFK Stadium.
The team then looked forward to the second match, this Saturday at Toronto FC. But Pontius is not nearly ready.
His troubles center on the nerves and not the muscle.
"Some days he feels good and is excited and on other days when he tries to push a little harder, he has some pain," Kasper said. "He just needs to step back."
In his absence, Nick DeLeon has shifted from the right side of midfield to the left and Davy Arnaud has started on the right.
Given Pontius's setbacks, United has not set a timetable for his return.
*Monday's snowfall forced the club to move indoors, where players worked on cardio, fitness and individual sessions. United hopes to train at Long Bridge Park in Arlington (artificial turf) on Tuesday and Wednesday before possibly returning to the grass grounds outside of RFK.
The wintry burst will help prepare United for Toronto's conditions. The early forecast at BMO Field: High temperature of 34 degrees with 14-mph wind and a 70 percent chance of rain or snow. Kickoff is at 4:30 p.m. ET. No standard TV coverage in the Washington area.
*With this past weekend off from league play, United looked into scheduling a friendly against a lower-division club. But wanting to give everyone 90 minutes, the technical staff decided to play an intrasquad scrimmage Friday instead.
*Club officials will decide this week which players will go on long-term assignments with United's third-division affiliates, the Richmond Kickers. Goalkeeper Joe Willis, defenders Conor Shanosky and Jalen Robinson, midfielder Collin Martin, midfielder-forward Christiano Francois and forward Michael Seaton are the primary candidates. United will name at least four but also shuttle others between the clubs throughout the season. The Kickers will hold their final preseason match Saturday at home against the University of Virginia and open the USL Pro campaign March 29 at Charleston.
*Robinson is recovering from a hamstring injury suffered in the final week of preseason while Shanosky had surgery last week to repair a fractured wrist, suffered in a Kickers friendly.
*The last trialist, second-round draft pick Victor Muñoz, was released without a contract offer last week. United surrendered an international roster slot to Montreal in order to select the UCLA midfielder, who showed decent foot skills and work rate in preseason but did not fit into the club's plans. Had he stuck around as a developmental player, Muñoz would not have figured into first-team selections.
*The kickoff times are set for the FedEx Field doubleheader June 7: Spain vs. El Salvador at 4 p.m. and United vs. Columbus Crew at approximately 6:30. Also announced: the Honduras-Turkey friendly May 29 at RFK will begin at 8 p.m.
*United and Comcast SportsNet are aiming to finalize the local TV package this week. CSN plans to carry about 16 league matches.

Strategy Guide
In order to succeed in this game, you must be knowledgeable in business economics, political science and war tactics. To improve infrastructure, first you must try to improve health, education and transportation. Good health care and good social security will bring your population up. Build a few corporations in the beginning so that the majority of your population is employed.
The best thing to do first is grow your population so that you can build more corporation. Another way to grow population is to pay for membership. 1M pop = 5C. When you have a lot of people who can work, your country can support a good number of corporations, which means a high employment rate. High employment rate of a huge population is good for your economy because of tax and circulation of funds throughout your country. Trade with other countries to gain more capital.

Zorn Und Vergeltung begins on an ominous note as a body wrapped in plastic from head to toe is wheeled out to a dock and dumped into the water. Is it… still moving? It certainly looks that way. Who is the victim and what have they don't to incur the wrath of Carmen Rivera, who watches impassively from dry land as the plastic-wrapped body floats on the surface, barely twitching? From this opening scene on, it's apparent that Carmen and director Donna Xtreme are taking domination to a whole new level this time and submales everywhere had better watch out.
When Carmen finds out her boat is out of commission, with the engine still sitting on the floor of the shop, she soon loses her cool with the mechanic. When she takes off her fur coat and matching hat and hands them to her lackey Daniel, it looks like the mechanic is about to be on the receiving end of that Zorn Und Vergeltung (German for "anger and retaliation"). Carmen yanks off the mechanic's shirt and pulls hard on his defenseless nipples. While telling him off (all in German), she spits in his face and clamps one hand down on his crotch. Whether or not you understand what she's telling him, it's clear she's on the warpath. Carmen pulls down his jeans and briefs to reveal a modest package, which she barely acknowledges before bending him over the engine. While Carmen spanks his reddening ass, the mechanic starts licking the dirty engine clean and then puts that tongue to better use licking her boots. Soon she decides it's time to string up his cock and balls with some thin white rope she finds (mechanical shops are just filled with handy torture devices), creating a makeshift cock leash. With the help of trusty Daniel, she attaches the other end of the rope to a hook on one of the machines in the shop and pulls the rope taut, leaving the mechanic's tender package straining under the pressure while she clamps his nipples with some pliers. After she inflicts a sufficient amount of pain there, she punishes his poor cock and balls some more with pliers, weight, and finally by crushing his balls in a vise. She gives him a brief reprieve to let him leave the room for some kind of paperwork, but surprises him with a plastic bag over the head when he reenters the room and smothers him just enough until he passes out. (Don't try this at home.) While the mechanic is still recovering, Carmen and Daniel encase him in a VacBed, giving him a small breathing tube. Having him vacuum-sealed like this gets Carmen aroused, and she licks her captive through the thin latex and tweaks her own nipples. A few moments later, it becomes clear that she has a more treacherous fate in mind for this unfortunate mechanic.
Part two finds Carmen in a much more sensual setting, with her male slave already tied up and with clothespins affixed to his tender flesh. Meanwhile, the lovely blonde Vivia sits in bondage, waiting for her turn. Carmen shocks the slave's bare feet and whips his naked ass. Quickly the scene cuts to a few frames of Carmen teasing and tormenting Vivia's clamped nipples while her male slave looks on. Then Carmen spanks Vivia while she's bent over the male slave's back. What follows is the sexual Carmen we're used to seeing, rather than the wrathful diva we saw in scene one. This scene is fragmented, almost dreamlike, as Carmen sometimes oversees the action from her throne (she is the Queen of Pain, after all, and royalty needs the proper perch) and sometimes gets intimately involved. Carmen enlists Vivia's help in switching slave boys, and in return for her assistance, Vivia gets to be on the receiving end of a dildo gag, which the slave boy thrusts into her asshole while she rubs her clit. While Vivia pours hot candle wax all over the chest, stomach, and genitals of the masked and bound slave, Carmen flogs his back and ass. The first slave sneaks out of his cage and watches from behind the stairs as the beautiful Dommes work over his fellow slave. His voyeuristic peeping appears to go unnoticed for a long time as they treat the other slave like a pack mule and a dog, but he should know better than to expect Carmen not to notice. She and Vivia tie the Peeping Tom to a rack and punish him with a cane and paddle simultaneously. Now that they have both slave boys in one place, they might as well put them to good use for their own pleasure and amusement.
With a few exceptions, Carmen's scene with the mechanic is much more along the lines of pure torture than anything sexual, but she is as gleefully sadistic doing this as she is in a more traditionally sexy scenario. The scene with Vivia and the slave boys explores what you might consider Carmen's softer side, relatively speaking. If you love watching a Femdom who truly takes joy from dominating men and women alike, then you're always going to have something to enjoy in any Carmen Rivera movie.

I think that they have a very nice menu. After I posted yesterday I wanted Suchi. Ichiban has both a nice menu and very good prices. Here's what I had for lunch yestrday with the first price being on the Ichiban menu and the 2nd price what I paid. Hamachi: (2 pieces) 3.50/5.50 Ikura: (2 pieces) 4.00/5.25. Of course, if those prices are half-off it will be different if/when they go back to regular pricing.
Personally, I didn't think your observations regarding the staff were racist. Even in California, it's pretty much the same setup as you mentioned. Asians (in my experience, at least) are very good at picking up languages (certainly better than me---really, has anyone else ever taken 4 years of first year German? ).
BTW, the profession of being a shushi chef is very highly respected in Asia since it entails a lot of expertiese of choosing good fish and the required skills of sliceing it or cutting it. Some sushi chefs come from a long line of shushi chefs in their family while many are trained at the profession at schools that are as serious as many of the culinary schools that we train chefs of the future here in the US.

And the fundrasiers have begun
Anyone else have kids bring home fundraisers already? BOTH of my kids have handed me fundraisers and it's all a bunch of junk. Of course I will buy something but I honestly wish I could just write them a check and be done with it.
And I know Mini will have another one, plus Bub will have a Boy Scouts thing, I believe popcorn.
If only I could sell this crap on my Ebay store, haha. Sigh. Time to break out my check book.
I thought that's what they said at the last meeting, but couldn't remember. Why can't we do something people love, like cookies? Stupid Girl Scouts have to ruin it for the boys. Grumble Grumble.
Ugh I hate that! It is always stuff to make you fat of just pure crap. So awful.
I wish someone would do an overhaul of the fundraising system.. I think most of it's a waste. Why can't people just donate and that be that?
I really, truly wish we could just donate. I would happily do that!
Let's overhaul the school fundraising system sista! haha

From the Press Release:
El Rey Network announces the start of production on "El Rey Network Presents: The Director's Chair," a new hour-long series featuring the industry's most notable directors as they engage in a revealing and unexpected exchange about the world of filmmaking.
The first of ten primetime installments will premiere Saturday, May 10, 2014, on filmmaker Robert Rodriguez's new genre-busting English-language cable network.
The series will provide a forum for two directors to go one-on-one, offering viewers access inside the minds of some of Hollywood's most celebrated and iconic filmmakers. On the roster for Season One is legendary filmmaker John Carpenter (Halloween, Escape from L.A., They Live), whose segment was shot last week in Los Angeles. Directors will come together for an intimate dialogue about their craft and their inspirations and will explore the early and memorable films that helped propel them to superstar status. Creator and producer Rodriguez will personally lead the conversations in several of the early episodes, including the one featuring Carpenter.
Rodriguez said: "I feel incredibly fortunate to have worked closely with some of the most creative minds in filmmaking. 'The Director's Chair' will be an intimate forum for the wildly unexpected conversation that ensues when passionate people discuss their fascination with this art form and can share what they have learned about the industry they love. This is an opportunity to do a deep dive into what makes some of these great minds tick, and I can't wait to have the opportunity to lead the dialogue for some of our very first episodes."
To kick off the day, El Rey Network will feature a "Carpen-TERROR" Movie Marathon starting at 1:00 PM ET on May 10th. The full schedule is below. If you want to tweet along, be sure to use the hashtag #RideWithElRey.

If I had to guess, I would probably say they first notice the way I dress. I almost never get cold and I usually wear shorts and a t-shirt year round. I love the feeling of cold air and snow being on my skin. If it's raining or significantly below freezing, I'll occasionally wear a hoodie, but that's really just to prevent myself from hypothermia and the likes.
My favorite movies are usually a mix between comedies and action/adventure. In general, I enjoy actors such as Jim Carrey, Steve Carell, Owen Wilson, and Matthew Broderick. Similarly, I enjoy shows with a good sense of humor. Occasionally laugh tracks annoy me, but if a show is written well enough it's really not an issue. Among my favorites I would have to include Malcom in the Middle, Futurama, How I Met Your Mother, and Psych.
In terms of downtime music, I grew up on They Might be Giants, resulting in a love for alt. rock. I also really enjoy ska (but not so much reggae), classical, smooth jazz, some heavier rock, and select electronica (mostly Daft Punk, never really got into dub step).
Food is a tricky one... I really do not like fruits, or even most vegetables, for that matter. I love all sorts of breads and cheeses, 2% or higher milk, most red meats, and cereal. I also love starches and grains, such as potatoes and corn, and have a pretty sizable reputation with my family for eating way more mashed potatoes than everyone else... combined...

Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children by Ransom Riggs
My rating: 2 of 5 stars
I can't quite put my finger on what I wanted this book to be, but this certainly wasn't it. So what's the story? Our main character, Jacob, grew up hearing his grandfathers outrageous tales of monsters, and children with peculiar abilities. Even with the photographic "evidence" to prove it, of course, Jacob writes off his ex-military Grandpa's stories as being metaphors about the war. But whoa. Is is possible these stories may have been.... true? Of course they are. And damn it Jacob is determined to be the blandest boy suddenly thrust into a magical world that I've seen in a while. The "peculiar" children honestly did nothing to hold my attention. The sudden romance between Jacob and Jacob's Grandpa's ex-girlfriend (yes, you read that right) was more peculiar than any of the characters.
So by now you must be asking: what did I like about this book?
I love what Ransom Riggs was trying to do. He uses an assortment of authentic found antique photographs and uses them to write the story. That is a super cool and interesting task to take on... if only the story didn't feel as though the plot was forcefully written specifically to fit the photos.

Like many youngest children, my son Joey works a little harder
to carve out a space for himself in our family - both figuratively
and literally. After noticing that there were only two children's
desks (which he assumed had already been laid claim to by his older
brothers), Joey cleared out a bookshelf in the den. He then hauled
a toy bench downstairs and promptly began equipping "his office"
with all the necessary details, including his toy computer:
My son loves to sit in his favorite spot whenever I am on the
computer paying bills, reading the news, or feeding my online shoe
addiction. For years, Joey also enjoyed knocking on the window to
wave to our next-door neighbor, Sue, (whose driveway is right
outside Joey's office).
With 35 years as a special education teacher, Sue showed amazing
patience and affection for the little boy she dubbed "her
boyfriend." If Joey spotted Sue outside weeding or gardening, the
poor woman was instantly face-to-face with a 6-year-old and his
thousand questions about what exactly she was doing. Sue quickly
learned to harness his boundless energy and often handed him tools
and encouraged him to get busy. Despite having the attentiveness
of, well, a 6-year-old, Joey's efforts were rewarded with great
praise and occasional cookies.
When Sue's beloved husband passed away 18 months ago, Joey was
very concerned about his friend. He wondered who would take care of
Sue and keep her company. He worried about her being lonely and
sad. He suggested she marry his grandpa. I told him Sue had
wonderful children, grandchildren, and friends who visited often.
That news seemed to ease his mind.
We were all devastated when Sue herself became seriously ill
last November and struggled to come to grips with the limited time
she had left. From a selfish standpoint, I was going to miss the
warm and easy neighbor who showered so much attention on my sons. I
was also in severe denial about the whole thing. When Sue lost her
battle last month, I was a weepy mess for days. And in my own
grief, I fear I may have overlooked how Joey was handling
As I went to rid my little hoarder's designated area of cookie
crumbs, scraps of paper, and crayon bits this week, I came across
an indication of how exactly Joey was dealing with Sue's loss. On
the window where he would knock to greet Sue as she came and went,
he posted a simple reminder:
And underneath that was a hidden note to his gardening buddy and
partner in cookies:
He had written, "Sue we miss you. Will you come back. Joey luv
you." He had also posted her funeral card (which had a picture of
smiling beautiful Sue) on the cabinet next to him.
I realized I hadn't been the most attentive parent in helping
Joey work through his grief. Since my discovery, I've found that
with very little prompting, Joey is eager to discuss his thoughts
on death and his many questions about Sue, not the least of which
include, "Who is gonna take care of her flowers and plants
He suggested he handle the job, because he was the only one who
"knew how Sue liked things."
Even though I have been a mother for a decade, I am still amazed
at the depth of feelings children possess. The ability to fiercely
love another human being does not have an age requirement. I will
miss Sue in a thousand different ways, but somehow, I know in my
heart that Joey will miss her even more.

DALLAS (AP) The Dallas Stars dropped the gloves and took a shot at the NBA referee scandal as part of its campaign to sell seats for the 2007-08 season.
A billboard near the American Airlines Center, the building the Stars share with the Dallas Mavericks, carries the message: "The only thing we shave is the ice."
The Stars' "come into the cold" ads didn't bother Mavericks owner Mark Cuban, according to the Dallas Morning News.
"I think it's hysterical," Cuban told the newspaper. "Good for them. It's a fun ad."
The campaign is the creation of the Stars and Austin-based ad agency Door Number 3.
The Stars didn't take a swipe at the NBA without some reservations, Stars president Jim Lites told the newspaper.
"It's edgy. But we're really good friends with the Mavs. They're our partners in the building. I think we thought it would be taken the right way," Lites told the Morning News.
MOSCOW (AP) - Former NHL star Pavel Bure has been awarded $2,600 in a suit he filed against British Airways after being forced to leave a plane, Russian news agencies reported.
Bure filed the suit after he was told to leave a plane at Moscow's Domodedovo airport that was preparing to fly to London last October. The suit said the pilot believed he was a soccer hooligan and refused to take off until Bure left the plane.
Bure filed a suit seeking $770,000 in material and moral damages. The ITAR-Tass news agency quoted his lawyer Dmitry Ragulin as saying he would appeal to a higher court to have the award increased.
CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) - A basement for the new NASCAR Hall of Fame will cost an additional $2.5 million, an unexpected expense that was approved by the Charlotte City Council.
Assistant city manager Jim Schumacher said the extra space would be used for more exhibits or other operations. The hall, financed mostly with proceeds of a hotel and motel tax, is scheduled to open in 2010.
The basement for the $154.5 million project was approved this week after officials said adding it now would be cheaper than waiting.
BEIJING (AP) - Hungry visitors to next summer's Beijing Olympics won't have to struggle to decipher bizarre English translations on restaurant menus.
The Beijing Tourism Bureau has released a list with 2,753 proposed names for dishes and drinks, designed to replace confusing and sometimes ridiculous translations on menus, the official Xinhua News Agency said.
Foreigners often are stumped by dish names such as "virgin chicken" (a young chicken dish) or "burnt lion's head" (Chinese-style pork meatballs). Other garbled names include "The temple explodes the chicken cube" (kung pao chicken) or "steamed crap" (steamed carp).
"These translations either scare or embarrass foreign customers and may cause misunderstanding on China's diet habits," Xinhua said.
It's the latest effort of Beijing Olympics organizers to clean up the city and ensure that the best image is presented to the hundreds of thousands of visitors expected next summer.
Etiquette campaigns are afoot to stamp out bad manners like jumping ahead in line, spitting, littering and reckless driving.
MADRID, Spain (AP) - Serbia soccer coach Javier Clemente has been hospitalized after he punctured his lung and broke four ribs in a fall.
Clemente slipped as he carried a bicycle into his garage at his home in the Basque town of Zarautz, near Bilbao.
"If everything goes well, I'll go home on Sunday. If not, I'll have to stay two days longer in the hospital," Clemente told news agency Efe.
On Monday, the 57-year-old coach was to travel to Belgrade to prepare for Serbia's European Championship qualifying games against Finland and Portugal. His injured lung means he will be forced to travel by car, rather than by plane.

It depends on your school colors and mascot but, overall, high school varsity jackets are pretty boring. Save your money and get a Legend of Zelda jacket instead. It proves you got your degree in Hyrule with the Triforce on your side.
I think the jacket would be cooler if it was embroidered rather than screen printed, but it's still a fun design.

I hate to say this about such a beautiful shirt, but there is an error in it. I've been given shirts that reference Pi ever since learning the first 190 digits, and there is an error right there on the bottom of the letter's left leg: that 9 should be a 0. Otherwise, it's awesome.

Doggie Rescue
Looking for a new dog? Maybe there's a dog in need looking for you?
Shelters like Monica's Doggie Rescue rehouse thousands of dogs every year by carefully matching dogs with families. And if you can't have a dog full-time, maybe you can foster a dog, or help care for them until they find a permanent new home.
Monika Biernacki rescued her first impounded dog about 15 years ago and she hasn't been able to turn her back on one since. Since 1999 they have re-homed 6000 dogs, about 800-1000 a year.
Most of the dogs are re-homed through the website www.doggierescue.com and their shop front in Sydney. Monika's runs completely on volunteer labour. Everything from foster homes to dog transport is provided voluntarily. Children from various schools collect donations, assist with grooming and walking, or just give the dogs some attention and affection.
Dogs are not usually housed at the offices. All dogs are fostered out during the week, but foster carers may bring them to the office from time to time, particularly on weekends, so that potential owners can see them. Otherwise people choose a dog from browsing the website, fill in an application, then go and visit the dog. Their application is checked to make sure they are a suitable match. They meet the dog and take it for a "test drive" in the local park before deciding if it is definitely the one for them.
Only one per cent of the dogs ever come back through the system. Monika puts this down to her matching method. She takes a close personality check of the dogs and matches them with the application from prospective owners. Often Monika has to knock people back based on mismatches.
Saturday is the busiest day of their week. Three or more dogs are usually rehoused in a 'crazy' atmosphere. And local families who are unable to take a dog full time also help by taking some of Monika's dogs out for a walk.

The National Hockey League announced Friday that the 2013 draft will be held at the Prudential Center, the home of the New Jersey Devils in Newark.
The 2014 edition will be at the Wells Fargo Center, home of the Philadelphia Flyers. It will be the first time hosting the draft for both franchises, and next year's draft will be the first held in the New York City area.
"We are truly excited to host the 2014 National Hockey League Entry Draft at the Wells Fargo Center," said Comcast-Spectacor president Peter Luukko in a statement. "This is further testament that Philadelphia truly is a hockey town. We just hosted a wonderful Winter Classic last season and, in addition to hosting the 2014 NHL Entry Draft, we soon will be preparing to also host the 2014 NCAA Frozen Four at Wells Fargo Center.
"What a thrill for not just hockey fans in our region, but for the entire City of Philadelphia. We would like to thank the NHL for selecting Philadelphia as the host city for the 2014 NHL Entry Draft."
The 2014 NHL Entry Draft will be the first draft to be held in Philadelphia.

Town government is sometimes perceived as simple, even quaint, with governing boards as small as three members and, in a throwback to the early days of the American democracy, the use of town hall meetings at which residents gather each year to vote on the tax levy. The perception shortchanges the importance of towns. Nearly one-third of Wisconsin residents are governed by towns. More than 95% of the land in Wisconsin is located in the state's 1,259 towns. Roughly half of the public roads in the state are maintained by towns. That town government is neither simple nor easy was demonstrated with considerable drama this year when the Town of Saukville government suffered an epic meltdown with the virtually simultaneous resignations of the town chairman, a supervisor and the town clerk. Order has been restored in rural Saukville; as of last week, all of the town government positions are filled. Meanwhile, the Town of Grafton, somewhat tardily, is facing up to one of the most vexing complications of town government—funding road maintenance. The Town Board on Aug. 13 voted to hold a referendum asking voters to approve increased spending for road repair. The move is overdue, for the Town of Grafton has the distinction of being responsible for several roads vying for the title of being in the worst state of disrepair of any in Ozaukee County. Falls Road is an outstanding example. Crumbling roads are not the sort of signs of neglect expected to be found in an area like the Town of Grafton. Its government has been effective in dealing with a number of challenges, including serial annexations of town land by the Village of Grafton. Its board and chairman have been leaders among local governments, municipal and town, in Ozaukee County on environmental issues. In other ways too, the Town of Grafton does not fit the image of a place where to drive can mean to run a gantlet of broken pavement, potholes and chassis-shuddering bumps. No longer an agricultural enclave, the town has replaced farms with upscale subdivisions. It's ironic that the traffic generated by this high-valuation development travels on roads that are probably in worse shape than they were when they were used by tractors pulling manure spreaders and hay wagons. It's come to this, of course, because the town doesn't have the money to fix the roads. Critics might fault the Town Board's spending priorities, but the main culprit here is the tax levy limits imposed by the state Legislature. The chest-thumping in Madison over the benefits of such tax freezes ignores the fact that they hamstring local governments such as the Town of Grafton in carrying out one of their fundamental responsibilities—the essential maintenance of public infrastructure, particularly roads. To fix its roads, the town will have to exceed the levy limit, which will require the OK of the voters in the November referendum. The question of whether the town should spend an additional $125,000 a year to catch up with years of deferred road maintenance deserves a yes from voters so their town government can meet its obligation to keep town roads safe to use. Come November, anyone driving to the polls on Falls Road is advised to use caution.
Bankruptcy courts are charged with the responsibility to balance the interests of creditors and debtors in distributing the assets of failed enterprises. Unfortunately the Ozaukee County residents who contributed millions of dollars in cash and valuable land to build the Feith Family Ozaukee YMCA in Saukville and provided financial and volunteer support for its operation for 15 years do not belong to either group and are facing the possibility of being left without the institution to which they've given so much when the bankruptcy of the YMCA of Metropolitan Milwaukee is settled. The U.S. Bankruptcy Court on Tuesday ordered the Saukville YMCA sold at auction to the highest bidder. Ozaukee Press sources indicate that as many as three companies operating for-profit fitness centers in the Milwaukee area may be among the bidders. If a private company is the successful bidder, the Saukville facility could be shut down before the end of September. That would be a profound injustice, one that could have been avoided if the court had accepted an offer made by the Kettle Moraine YMCA that would have provided $2 million for the Metropolitan YMCA's creditors and ensured that the Saukville YMCA remained open. Selling the facility at auction is a cruel turn because it threatens the prospect of it going where it belongs, into the Kettle Moraine organization, where it would find not only rescue from the Metropolitan YMCA's financial disaster, but an expectation of a secure future. Unlike the Metropolitan YMCA, which has imploded under the weight of an astonishing $30 million in debt, Kettle Moraine, based in nearby West Bend, is on firm financial footing, is currently debt free and owns first-rate facilities. What's more, its board of directors has adopted a sound business plan for a merger with the Saukville YMCA that includes a role for representatives of the latter on the board that would guide the combined operation.
The Feith Y had no such role under the ownership of the Metropolitan YMCA and is thus an innocent victim of the Milwaukee organization's fiscal management failures. The court's auction decision is a setback, but Kettle Moraine, with strong support from the Feith YMCA board of directors, is not giving up. It had planned to finance $1.5 million of the purchase price with bank loans and cover the remaining $500,000 through fundraising. Now it is mounting a desperate effort to raise $1 million to make an offer of as much as $2.5 million. It should not have come to this. The court should have recognized that the thousands of families that have memberships in the Saukville Y and the contributors who paid for most of its construction costs and generously supported its operation have a valid stake in the outcome of the bankruptcy proceedings and approved the initial Kettle Moraine offer to prevent the loss of the essential community asset the Feith YMCA has become. If the Saukville Y dies as a result of its owner's bankruptcy, it can be chalked up as another failure of the Metropolitan organization to support this community's YMCA. When the bankruptcy petition was filed, Metropolitan CEO Julie Tolan said that the Saukville facility and other suburban Ys earmarked for sale would be sold to "operators better positioned to continue those Ys and invest in those centers for the long term." The Kettle Moraine YMCA fits the description of those operators. Private corporations that would operate the facilities as a for-profit fitness center without YMCA affiliation do not. The people of Ozaukee County served by the Saukville YMCA can help save their Y by supporting the fundraising effort with pledges that will be used by Kettle Moraine as collateral for increased borrowing. To reach $1 million, large gifts by corporations, foundations and wealthy individuals will be needed, but a strong response of small contributions will help the cause not only financially, but also by demonstrating that the people of Ozaukee want, need and deserve their YMCA. Which, of course, is absolutely true.
The Port Washington Common Council should follow the Plan Commission's recommendation and eliminate the 61-foot limit on the height of downtown buildings. The limit should go because it is meaningless; the council can grant developers exceptions at will. But the more important reason to take the height limit off the books is that doing so will clarify the fact that responsibility for the aesthetic future of the downtown area rests squarely on the shoulders of the elected and appointed officials of the Common Council, Plan Commission and Design Review Board. With a specific height limit in place, there is a temptation to give a green light to projects merely because they comply with the height restriction, without giving adequate attention to design shortcomings. The infamous poster building for that mistake is the Lighthouse Condominiums on Lake Street. The structure, which qualified for a permit because it complied with the 85-foot height limit then in effect, has been a giant piñata batted around by critics ever since it rose over the lakefront as a massive, towering rectangle. Put aesthetics aside, and it can be said that the Lighthouse condos have been a success for Port Washington, providing high-quality homes for a significant population that has added economic and cultural vigor to the downtown. The problem is, you can't put aesthetics aside, which is why the building has joined two other structures as the subjects of one of the most frequently asked questions by visitors: "What were they thinking when they let that be built?" The other two edifices that provoke the question are the wastewater treatment at the entrance to the north beach and the power plant dominating the south side of the waterfront.
In pre-Lighthouse condo days, whenever building height limits were discussed, a former Port Washington city planner would proclaim that no one can own a view. The statement was naive at best. Views are bought and sold everyday, sometimes even stolen. It is because buyers can own a view that lakeshore properties, even those on bluffs with only visual access to Lake Michigan, fetch such dear prices. The condo-townhouse-office development surrounding the west harbor slip, which is 61 feet high at its maximum and is the basis for the current city height limit, gives stunning lake views to owners at the expense of a public view that was once one of the city's prettiest maritime vistas, particularly at sunrise—looking out of the harbor from Wisconsin Street to the lighthouse and beyond. The standard rationale for that—that the loss of public views is a fair price to pay for beneficial economic development—will always be controversial. Because views are considered precious in a city with Port Washington's natural gifts, building heights are a sensitive issue here, but height limits alone do little to ensure that developments don't squander those gifts. More important is whether the design and overall size of the buildings are compatible with the community's visual character. These are subjective judgments, of course, but they should also be informed judgments based on the best information available, and city officials have to be prepared to make them. This is not uncharted territory. A number of Lake Michigan towns, most notably on the eastern shore, have found ways to encourage the development of waterfront condos that offer amenities and views that attract buyers yet do not unreasonably block public vistas and, most important, exhibit gracious design. Eliminating Port's building height limit would properly add weight to the onus on officials to, in a variation of the classic physicians' imperative, approve only buildings that do no aesthetic harm.

Apex Distribution Deal
Apex Book Company, publishers of The Apex Book of World SF series, have sent us word that:
We've got some exciting stuff going on behind the scenes. We're close to signing a contract for major national and international book distribution. Once that contract has been signed by both parties, we'll have a press release to share.
In the meantime, we're preparing our book printing ramp up and expansion. This fiscal requirement goes above and beyond our normal business operations and normally, I wouldn't be opposed to that. In this instance, however, the issue is time. The distributor is anxious to get Apex out on the market. To do that, I need to come up with the initial investment for a full-scale run. So I'm trying out a Kickstarter clone called Peerbackers. Any funds raised by Peerbackers will supplement the additional business loans I'm taking to cover the new production costs.
Peerbackers works like Kickstarter. You pledge X amount of dollars based on different milestone amounts. You're not charged for your pledge unless we reach a certain percentage of our goal. If we make our goal, you receive a reward based on the amount pledged.
Here is the link to our Peerbackers project:http://peerbackers.com/projects/apex-joins-the-big-leagues/home/Pledges begin at an affordable $10 and goes up to $1000 (where you receive, among other things, a lifetime subscription to Apex Books!).
We hope you decide to pledge. All you need is either a Visa, Mastercard, or Paypal account. Your support now will go a long way to ensuring our venture into national distribution becomes a monumental moment for our genre! 🙂
Apex is looking to raise $5000. If you like the work we do on the blog, or on the anthology series – or Apex Magazine, or Apex books such as my own HebrewPunk or An Occupation of Angels – then do please consider pledging some cash.

When I post this, I'm really marking it in hopes of getting around to watching it later, and meanwhile putting it forward for your attention as well. But really, what better question than this to address in terms of where we stand on the independence scale.
Think Congress and Wall Street are screwing us over? … Then consider how far secret societies and philosophies have run with the ball through today? Are you free? Do you express your opinions? Do you like Coke or Pepsi? Does your vote count?
The capabilities of the Scientific Dictatorship trump all of that… and free will hangs in the balance of a troubling and wrecked landscape of experimentation and the sophisticated refinement of technological control over human beings.
