Japan Wins U.S. Embassy Work
By MARTIN TOLCHIN,
Published: July 27, 1993
WASHINGTON, July 26— The State Department has selected a Japanese construction company to renovate the residence of the United States Ambassador in Tokyo, even though the American trade representative has found that Japan discriminated against American companies in awarding Government construction contracts.
An American company that wanted the job, Fischbach & Moore International, filed a formal protest Friday contending that the State Department award violated Federal law.
The State Department selected the Obayashi Corporation last week to do the renovation because it was the low bidder, according to Susan Edmondson, a department spokeswoman. Obayashi bid $7.1 million, compared with $10.2 million by Fischbach & Moore of Dallas and $10.7 million by the J. A. Jones Corporation of Charlotte, N.C.
The difference in the bids was so great that the American companies could not benefit from a provision that awards contracts to American companies that are within 10 percent of a low bid by a foreign company. In addition, Ms. Edmondson said, Obayashi built the original residence, "an absolutely magnificent historic structure."
President Clinton stayed in the residence during his recent visit to Tokyo to meet with leaders of the seven biggest industrial powers, and it will be the official home of the new Ambassador to Japan, former Vice President Walter F. Mondale.
In its protest with the General Accounting Office, Fischbach & Moore noted that the Foreign Service Buildings Act limits foreign bidders to those from countries that give equal access to American bidders for comparable diplomatic and consular building projects. The only exceptions are those required by international agreements, and when the Secretary of State determines such bids are in the interest of bilateral relations or are needed to carry out a construction project.
In a report to Congress on April 30, the Office of the United States Trade Representative identified Japan as discriminating against American companies in the procurement of construction, architectural and engineering services.
On June 30, Mickey Kantor, the United States trade representative, formally identified Japan "as a country that maintains, in Government procurement of construction, architectural and engineering services, a significant and persistent pattern or practice of discrimination against United States products or services that results in identifiable harm to United States businesses."
Mr. Kantor made the finding in accordance with Title VII of the Omnibus Trade and Competitiveness Act of 1988, which authorizes trade sanctions against countries that discriminate against American companies in their government purchasing policies. Mr. Kantor barred European Community companies this spring from bidding for some Federal contracts in retaliation for the community's new purchasing rules for telecommunications equipment. However, Mr. Kantor postponed putting the sanctions against Japan into effect.
The Office of the Trade Representative had no comment on the Tokyo contract, according to Dianne Wildman, a spokeswoman.
Ms. Edmondson, the State Department spokeswoman, said that Fischbach & Moore should have raised the disqualification issue during the prequalification period last January. "These are guys who know the State Department, who do work for the department in other parts of the world," she said. "If that really was a problem, it should have been raised during the prequalification phase."
But Fischbach & Moore considers her objection a technicality, and notes that the findings of discrimination by Japan were made in April and June, after the prequalification period.
Robert R. Kiley, president of the Fischbach Corporation, parent company of Fischbach & Moore, said that the State Department action was "inconceivable to us." The Fischbach Corporation is in turn a unit of American International Group.
Mr. Kiley, a former chairman of New York State's Metropolitan Transportation Authority, suggested that Obayashi could not do the job for the $7.1 million it bid, and that the motive for the low bid was to keep American construction companies out of Japan. "We don't think they could possibly have done it at a better price than we bid and still made any money," Mr. Kiley said."
Similarly, Carl Nagel, estimating manager of J. A. Jones's international division, said, "There's no way we could have gotten down to the price of Obayashi." His company, which had the Mitsui Construction Company of Japan as a silent partner, had no plan to protest the award, Mr. Nagel said.
Ms. Edmondson said that the State Department estimate for the job was $7.5 million.
Clyde Prestowitz -- president of the Economic Strategy Institute, a private trade-research group, and a former trade negotiator -- viewed the action by the State Department as part of its continuing indifference to trade issues.
"These things are read by the Japanese as evidence that the United States is not serious," Mr. Prestowitz said. "When Mickey Kantor goes over there and hammers them to open up their construction markets, and the State Department gives a contract to a Japanese company, it just destroys the trade representative's position. We do this time and time again."

Hello. There seems to be some confusion here. Umbrella Music Ltd was closed in June 2014. Therefore the review from Feb and May 2015 are incorrect and must be meant for a different company. The music school trading as 'Umbrella Music Academy' is a totally separate company, (Umbrella Teaching Ltd) a Music School located in Greenleaf Road, Walthamstow. I am the manager of the Music School, so want to make sure the two are not mixed up as we do not sell any musical equipment!
To clarify we are umbrellaacademy.co.uk
Disgraceful. Waited in all day on a Saturday for my piano to be delivered. Called towards the end of the day to see if they knew where it was. Said they'd call back but didn't. Realising the shop was closing soon I called again to ask. Was told there was a mix up and it will be next Saturday now. I am a person who values my free time and weekends. I was offered no apology and they acted like it was my fault. The next Saturday it was delivered with the wrong stool. I called to discuss and was told I'd be called back. I wasn't. I called again and was told they'd call be back. They never did. I gave up. I pray I never have to use the warranty. They cannot grasp the first and basic rules of sales...which is worrying when they are a shop! Very poor. I hope they go out of business.
Nearly two years later and exactly the same experience as Paul in 2013. Such awful customer service (despite their repeated claims). Trying to get my son's cello repaired and three calls and two emails later, no one has contacted me. Perhaps cancelling my DD will get their attention...
Astonishingly poor customer service. The sales phone line (0845) often goes to answerphone, the sales team doesn't call back, and they also ignore emails/web form enquiries (three attempts). 'Live chat' is also permanently off. The promised delivery didn't turn up and it's simply impossible to find out why. I can't imagine how a warranty problem would be handled. Avoid at all costs.
Total conmen, They say they have stock in, promise delivery date and then let you down, the phone number takes a million tried to get through, requested a refund that was promised back to my card, after 3 days nothing so I had to ring again only to be promised once again we have processed your refund, a week later still nothing. Emailed the manager, he has now stoped responding after I have reported them to the Police. They didnt provide goods I paid for, Nor did they give me a refund and have now stopped responding to me, AVOID THESE AT ALL COST !!!
everything Richard, below, says is spot on! they have the worst customer service i have ever seen. do NOT shop here, if you want your items delivered within a sensible period, or you will be waiting, literally months!!!
This store has now moved back to Walthamstow, just off Hoe Street. I have bought a few bits and pieces and the guys seem friendly enough.
Probably the worst customer service I've ever experienced. I purchased a pair of Yamaha HS80's and a pair of 6m TRS cables on the 19th April. Paid in full via Paypal. I went down to the store that afternoon to pick my purchases up, rather than having them delivered. It's a good job it did, because the sales guy tried to hand me a pair of speakon cables, rather than the TRS ones I'd ordered. When I pointed out that they were the wrong cables, he then went off to have a look around for the correct ones --- he returned after a while with (unbalanced) TS cables, saying "yeah, these'll work fine". I then had to point out to him the difference between TS and TRS cables........ It turned out that they had none in stock, and would have to order them in --- telling me I'd have them around the end of the next week --around the 29th(there were a couple of bank holidays in between, so this was fair enough). The 29th came and went, no sign of the cables, and no email/phonecall from them --- quite annoying. I had no idea just how annoying things would get though...... Basically, to cut a long story short, I've had to call this store 6 times now, and have sent numerous emails to them. I have been giving 2 subsequent delivery dates, and asked to sit in all day, waiting for a courier who never arrives. After finally speaking with a manger last Saturday (14th May) --- he informed me that the cables had in fact not even arrived at their store yet, as they had an accounting problem with their suppliers, so god knows why two other members of staff arranged delivery dates for me -- perhaps they were hoping that the cables would just materialize out of thin air? The manager of the store then emailed me to confirm that the cables would be delivered to me by Thursday (19th May). I emailed him an hour ago, asking him to confirm for me whether or not they will indeed be arriving tomorrow, and have now been told that it's going to be Friday the 20th instead! Like I said, I have never before experienced such levels of incompetency and disregard for customer service --- who knows if my cables will turn up on Friday -- after all, this is now the fourth alleged delivery date I've been given! --- The cables finally did arrive, BUT --- to add another comedic twist, one of tehm failed within 3 weeks. I phoned the store up again,, they agreed to send me out a replacement. I waited a further 2 weeks, and this never materialized. After phoning them yet again, Richard (a member of their alleged management) told me that he was no longer prepared to replace the cable, and in so many words told me to take my money back and piss off (he actually set the phone down on me). I ended up ordering a replacement from Andertons, which arrived the next day.

Topological effects of data incompleteness of gene regulatory networks
Networks and information flow
The topological analysis of biological networks has been a prolific topic in network science during the last decade. A persistent problem with this approach is the inherent uncertainty and noisy nature of the data. One of the cases in which this situation is more marked is that of transcriptional regulatory networks (TRNs) in bacteria. The datasets are incomplete because regulatory pathways associated to a relevant fraction of bacterial genes remain unknown. Furthermore, direction, strengths and signs of the links are sometimes unknown or simply overlooked. Finally, the experimental approaches to infer the regulations are highly heterogeneous, in a way that induces the appearance of systematic experimental-topological correlations. And yet, the quality of the available data increases constantly.
In this work we capitalize on these advances to point out the influence of data (in)completeness and quality on some classical results on topological analysis of TRNs, specially regarding modularity at different levels.
In doing so, we identify the most relevant factors affecting the validity of previous findings, highlighting important caveats to future prokaryotic TRNs topological analysis.
As it is commonly noticed in the literature, gene regulation is a complex process involving different phases and biochemical phenomenologies
Turning to the mesoscale, modularity appears also in TRNs as a key feature to understand the dynamical function of the system. In genome-wide TRNs, each regulator defines its own regulon as the set of nodes directly or indirectly regulated by it. Regulons are then subnetworks, that can be sometimes hierarchically organized; in other occasions, regulons partially overlap in non-trivial ways. Thus, the identification of groups of regulons –or parts of them– interconnected through atypical, dense patterns is expected to store information about the biological role of the proteins within them
However, perhaps one of the most striking results on topological analysis of TRNs is related to small-scale (sets of 3 or 4 nodes) connectivity patterns, which present statistics anything but contingent
In addition to the aforementioned issues, the experimental challenges underlying the systemic characterization of the TRNs are far from being solved. The quantity and quality of available data on genome-wide transcriptional regulation are significant only for a small set of model organisms. Besides scarcity, the usual problem is related to the heterogeneous quality of the experimental evidences of the regulatory interactions, the building blocks of TRNs. Despite these problems, the amount of high-quality experimental information about transcriptional regulation at systemic level is growing each day, not only within the context of model prokaryotes.
In this work, we analyze three of the best known prokaryotic TRNs, for which these data quality improvements are being more thoroughly incorporated to publicly available data sets. Two of them correspond to the model bacteria
Results and discussions
Community detection and link attributes
The identification of modules in complex networks has attracted much attention of the scientific community in the last years. A modular view of a network offers a coarse-grained perspective in which nodes are gathered not due to knowledge-based decisions –function, composition, etc.–, but rather on a topological basis –who is connected to whom. To this end Newman put forward the concept of modularity
In this section we intend to underline that interaction direction and sign critically shape the detected community structure of a network. This is ever more dramatic in the case of TRNs, where a sharp distinction must be made between regulators (which mostly emit links) and the rest of the network, which mainly receive them. Also it is peculiar (though not exclusive) of these systems to allow for positive (activating) and negative (inhibitory) relationships. In practice, directions and signs are not always available in the datasets. Regarding directionality, we analyze a system –the TRN of
To address the previous question, we perform a systematic comparison of the effects of preserving the original information (sign and direction) in modularity measures and community structure in TRNs. To this end, we will analyze the TRN of
The modularity expression used hereafter corresponds to its most general definition, i.e. the one that accounts for the existence of directions, weights, signed relations and self-loops, preserving the original information
This expression generalizes the concept of modularity, and simply computes the contribution to group formation of positive (
which accounts for the deviation of actual positive weights
An intrinsic limitation of modularity maximization, as posed in Eq. 1, is that it provides a single snapshot of the modular structure of the network. However, several topological descriptions of the network coexist at different scales, which is, in general, a fingerprint of complex systems, and particularly relevant in biological ones
Figure 1
Mesoscale Attributes
Mesoscale Attributes. Top: number of detected modules
To address this last question, we asked whether the partitions inferred by our method group genes with similar biological functions. The reason underlying this possibility is that genes within a topological community are connected among them by more regulations than average. This fact should imply that they tend to transcript together, as a response to common stimuli and eventually, to perform closely related functions. To do this, we compared the identified communities to the functional classification provided in the Tuberculist database
The Asymmetric Wallace index can also be defined the other way around (
These results suggest that the more complete knowledge about link attributes, the richer representation of the mesoscale, in which different levels of topological coarse-graining can be well identified, with possible bio-dynamical implications that need to be explored.
Motifs significance robustness versus network growth
Exhaustive search of topologically common footprints and systematic differences between different real systems constitutes an important topic in network theory since its very beginning
In their work, the statistical significance of 3-nodes motifs –triads– was analyzed. The number of appearances of each of the thirteen possible directed structures in real systems was compared to those observed in a null model. The null ensemble was constructed by randomly rewiring the links of the original networks, preserving the number of single links and mutual interactions (as it is done in
Therefore, computing the

The key of the change observed in the TSPs stems from the small number of two nodes feedback loops that are observed in unicellular organisms TRNs. Indeed, this possibility was already foreseen in
Beyond the discussion on the robustness of motifs statistics that is faced here with a similar spirit of other previous works
However, as it has been stressed in several works, evolutionary pressures are not the sole mechanism able to generate not-random statistics in networks motifs. Simple models incorporating spatial distribution of nodes
The present work does not intend to introduce any additional argument in the debate, which can hardly be considered closed. The reason may be that, as it has been pointed elsewhere, intrinsic constraints and evolutionary pressures are not, definitely, mutually exclusive mechanisms of network transformation
Systematic correlations between topology and experimental evidence
Experimental techniques used in transcriptional regulation inference are numerous and often subtle
The alternative approach is essentially based on the generation of mutant strains in which the functionality and/or the expression levels of a certain binding factor are significantly altered with respect to those of the wild type. Then, expression levels of genes which are potentially regulated by the binding factor under study are registered and compared between wild type and mutant strains. In this way, if these different levels of regulator activity yield significantly different target expression measures, one might assume that the regulator is actually acting on the target.
The main advantage of the latter approach is that the sign and strength of the interaction can be determined. However, the analysis cannot distinguish direct regulatory interactions from indirect influences regulator-target mediated by secondary regulatory pathways. Nonetheless, as it can be seen in Table
These hypothetical spurious interactions should appear connecting nodes for which a secondary regulation pathway exists, and its sign should be the same of that secondary route (see Figure
Figure 3
Schematic representation of suspicious links
Schematic representation of suspicious links. In the figure, arrows represent activations and right angles inhibitions. Dotted lines correspond to the links that are topologically suspicious, i.e., those for which a secondary regulatory pathway mediated by a third gene is registered and whose sign is coherent. For example, the link connecting nodes 1 and 2 is considered suspicious because of the existence of the pathway 1 to 3 and 3 to 2. The same happens for the link between nodes 3 and 4. In both cases, the condition that the product of the two links making the secondary pathway should coincide with that of the link being considered as suspicious is verified. In this sense, we have also included a case in which the latter condition does not hold: the edge linking node 1 to node 5 is not suspicious because although a two-nodes cascade connecting the same nodes exists, (i.e. 1 to 3 and 3 to 5) it is not sign coherent.
Therefore, the idea is to compare the proportion of well characterized interactions within and outside the subset of topologically suspicious links using Fisher's exact test (see Table
This indicates that suspicious links constitute a topologically defined subset of interactions which is systematic and significantly less reliably characterized than on average in all the systems under study. This observation is in agreement with the hypothesis that insufficient experimental methods of transcriptional regulation inference can suppose the systematical observation of topologically-biased spurious links. The problem addressed here seems to critically affect the characterization of the activity of sigma factors. In fact, when we reconstruct the networks under study by considering only transcription factors as regulators and exclude sigma factors, the whole picture significantly changes. Indeed, the percent of suspicious links which are better characterized is even greater than the background, both for
Another issue of interest is whether this experimental bias is topologically relevant. More precisely, we question if this systematic error could quantitatively affect motif statistics in our systems. The key is that these spurious interactions could recurrently transform some motifs into others, and more precisely, focusing on most prominent motifs in number of appearances, this would suppose the systematic, spurious transformation of three-nodes cascades (triad 3) into coherent feedforward loops (triad 7). To test the robustness of the TSPs to the presence of spurious links, we delete in each network a fraction of partially characterized suspicious links up to the point in which the proportion of WCLs among them is comparable to the average background level. This suppose the removal of 324 suspicious links in the TRN of
Figure 4
Changes in prokaryotic TSPs due to systematic experimental mischaracterization of links
Changes in prokaryotic TSPs due to systematic experimental mischaracterization of links. Original systems present a lower proportion of WCLs than the background in the set of links that connect nodes for which a secondary coherent regulatory pathway has been registered. In corrected networks, the proportion of WCLs is paired to background levels by randomly deleting poorly characterized interactions. This, however, do not affect the TSPs significantly.
As we have shown here, sources of unreliability can be of diverse nature: from the often unjustified lack of details in link attributes to the lack of key interactions, whose inclusion radically modify motifs' TSPs. As a matter of fact, our first finding convincingly shows that data incompleteness could exert a relevant influence on the topological characterization of the mesoscale in prokaryotic TRNs. More precisely, we have shown how a complete knowledge of link attributes (directions and signs) can yield richer mesoscale structures in TRNs. Secondly, we have also shown that a mere updating of the interactions that make up a TRN in which key regulatory interactions are incorporated, radically modifies previous results based on the analysis of motifs appearances. In fact, some of the previous conclusions do not hold anymore. We have observed that prokaryotic TRNs show motifs significance profiles very similar to those belonging to multicellular, developmental TRNs, signal transduction and neural systems. Finally, experimental mischaracterization of the links has also been studied, and yet, we have found that its influence on motifs statistics is reduced. These results suggest that the evolutionary interplay between topology and dynamics is more similar between regulatory systems of multicellular and unicellular organisms than expected.
Transcriptional Regulatory Networks have been increasingly studied during the last several years. Nowadays, however, their characterization can only be considered provisional, as they consist of incomplete annotations of often heterogeneous and unreliable experimental evidences, computational inferences and theoretical predictions. While working with still incomplete networks could be of valuable help to uncover unknown biochemical pathways, there are situations in which reliable conclusions cannot be obtained. Moreover, we don't even know when the latter is the case. Accuracy and robustness of the results thus require us to be able to assess what results are dependent on the noisy and uncertain nature of some annotated links. This is crucial if deep biological implications are to be claimed.

Recent News from Oakhill See All News
One of our very own students, David Conkling, is working towards his Eagle Scout badge. He has chosen to help Oakhill through his project. We are so grateful to our community for being able to give back to their school. Below is a letter from David to the Oakhill community.
Hello Oakhill Families,
I hope you are having a wonderful summer!
My name is David Conkling, I started Oakhill when I was 2 years old. I am almost all the way through Oakhill and have had many wonderful teachers. These teachers I have had have made me who I am, Mrs. Ferris, Mrs. Trager, Mrs. Tenner, Mrs. Clevenger, Mrs. Bock, Mrs. Manley, Mrs. Wills, and Mrs. Mackey. They have taught me so much through the years and I really appreciate all they do for us. The good thing about middle school is that you have all the teachers working hard to help you. And then you have Mrs. G who makes sure that you stay on track. I have grown up at Oakhill and will graduate this year. I also started as a Tiger Cub Scout at ODS and I am now a Boy Scout and I have obtained my rank of "Life".
"Life" rank is before Eagle, but to get to Eagle I need to do a project to benefit an organization that I care about, and I chose to build raised garden beds for the outdoor gardens at ODS. I remember when I was in 1st grade-I think-and my family came to help Mrs. Newhouse put mulch in the gardens on a hot summer day, the Farm 2 School healthy lunch program started using the food that the students grew to put in our lunches and to teach us how important healthy, organic fruits and vegetable are to our diets. My project helps to support the lunch program and the cooking classes for the entire school.
My project is going to be at both campuses but it is the same project. I will be making 11 raised cedar garden beds. The lower school building will get 8 2x8 beds so the younger students will be able to reach across to use the entire bed for planting. There will be 3 4x8 beds at the middle school.
As part of my eagle project, it is necessary to raise money to complete the project. I need to raise $4500.00 for the material costs. I am asking for your support to help complete this project for the school. If you would like to help, please send all donations to Dorothy Beckham or donate now. Thank you for your help. My plan is to get started on this project soon and have it ready for the students before school starts back up.
Yours in Scouting,
David Conkling

Drake, tell us about your business venture, For the Record.
For the Record started around May of last year and we have nearly tripled our business and equipment since that time. I started the business on my own, managed & paid for everything, and have turned the debt into profit fast. It's a great business to be in and I'm sure I'll continue For the Record well into college. Oakhill taught me how to manage this business with independence and flexibility; I couldn't have done it without Oakhill!
How's business going?
Business has been going very well, times are usually busier later in the year when my availability is better. Some of our recent events have been DJing for the SJS BBQ team at the American Royal, DJing at Oakhill for the fall Middle School Dance, DJing for the Salvation Army Northern Lights Kettle Run 5K in Zona Rosa, Rancho Grande's Annual Whiffle Ball Tournament, various birthdays and celebrations, and if course the ODS Middle School Christmas Party is coming up! Business is booming and I am currently in the process of purchasing a billboard in the Kansas City area so keep a look out for that! I'm currently looking for more aspiring DJ's to help me out with business because we are so busy! Don't worry about being experienced, I'll train you; if interested give me a holler!
Why is business going well?
Well, talk about For the Record is expanding throughout KC and our new billboard will surely put us right smack in the middle of people's radar. Branding and merchandise are also helping to spread the word with customized shirts, hats, koozies, notepads and everything in between. I currently have a website designer coming up with some new designs! I'm still looking for that perfect DJ name – if any Oakhill alumni or families have ideas, don't hesitate to shoot me an email!
How is your "day job", high school, going?
High School is going very well for me! On the first day of school I was asked to DJ for the first day of school assembly at Pembroke for the entire high school. It was a fun and exhilarating time to say the least! Around the school my nickname is known as DJ or DJ D-Potts; makes it feel just like Oakhill! Pembroke JV Football just finished up with a great season; we're ready for the next one.
I hope you guys are having a great school year; the new building is awesome! Just remember... For the Record, were the best in town.
For more information on DJ Drake, you can check out his website at fortherecorddj.com, Facebook page, or Instagram @for.the.record.dj. To get pricing information or to book an event, email email@example.com or contact Drake at 816-533-2555.
Where's Coach Speer?
We sat down with her to catch up!
Quick background on Coach Lauren Speer.
I am originally from the KC area and lived in south Overland Park and then Mission, KS.
Went to college at Miami University of Ohio where I double majored in Art Education and Art Studio. I was also a captain and 4 year Varsity player on Division I Field Hockey team for Miami.
Tell us about your time at Oakhill.
Worked at Oakhill for 7 years as the head PE teacher and Athletic Coordinator. While I was at Oakhill, we built the athletic program for Middle School and quickly began to have great success in the leagues.
While athletics and sports was my major focus at Oakhill I still managed to find ways to be involved with the arts through the Summer Camp and after school classes.
It was incredibly hard for me to leave the Oakhill family and everything that I had worked so hard at, but we had to make the best decision we could for our family. My husband is a chiropractor and received a great offer to join a practice, Koerner Chiropractic out of Hays, KS. The office was expanding and starting two office in smaller towns, Ellis and Plainville KS. My husband, Gerrad Speer, runs both of these offices and we live in Plainville, KS. One of the selling points for me to move, was I had the opportunity to become a stay-at-home mom with my kiddos, Graham and Eleanor.
What happened when you left Oakhill?
Making the move was difficult at times, because I had so many changes happen all at once. The biggest two changes were: we moved from a large city to a small town with just under 2,000 people and I went from working full time (and a lot of overtime with sports) to not working at all. The best thing was all of the time I was spending with my kids and everything I was experiencing with them. However, I knew something was missing and I needed more. For so long, I was so busy that I pushed aside and stopped working on my art. I have always done Graphite drawings and had just started to show in art fairs before Oakhill. I picked up my pencil and got back into my drawings. I am a realist and draw portraits of people and animals, landscapes so much more! It is still tough to find time to work - days are not options since I have kiddos at home. Most of the time I stay up late and let myself become immersed in my drawings while everyone else is asleep.
I also began to volunteer with the Plainville Memorial Library. They have a great program where they offer FREE classes to the public with all of the materials and supplies ready to go. I have taught a lot of classes from painting on canvas, making wooden pumpkins and snowmen, coloring nights and even doing a mural class. The library is so wonderful for creating this opportunities for the public and even more incredible because they love some of the crazy ideas I come up with!
Even with all of this, I still felt I needed some kind of "work" - something that wouldn't take away from my kids and family. While teaching at Oakhill, I would pay attention to the face painters that came to events and I always thought, "I can do that!". A dear Oakhill friend encouraged me to try it out. I proceeded to watch videos online and started following some incredible face painters. Next thing I know I ordered supplies, practiced on myself and my family and picked up my first event here in Plainville for a Fallfest in October of 2014.
How is business going?
I have now been face painting for a little over 2 years and it is amazing how this hobby/side kick has grown! I book events several months in advance, my summers fill up with festivals and fairs, and I do birthday parties year round. I do all types of events: birthdays, reunions, sporting events (high school and college), town fairs and festivals, weddings, holiday parties.... I have travelled all over the state of Kansas for face painting. It is always fun to look on a map and find out where the next town is! The neatest thing about face painting is that I schedule myself and most of the time the events are in the evening or on weekends so it doesn't affect my family and kiddos too much. I love challenging myself to come up with new designs. I have several people ask if it is hard to paint my own face, but I honestly think it is easier! Face painting combines two things that I love the most: art and kids.
What else do you do with your "spare time"?
My husband and I have also created a small business - Speer Creations. We began this adventure in the summer of 2015. Gerrad has always loved to do woodworking as a hobby. We combined talents for a birthday gift for our daughter, Eleanor. Gerrad built a wooden step stool, I designed the lettering, cut out the letter blocks and I painted it. We posted a picture of the kid's puzzle step stool on my Facebook page and we immediately got great feedback from family and friends. We decided to go with it and now run Speer Creations. We create wood designs for kids including: puzzle step stools, growth charts, pop guns, hair bow organizers, baby doll cradles and kids size picnic tables.
I have always had dreams about where I want to take my art. My drawings have always been a part of it and the face painting is something that has even surprised me! The sky is the limit and I plan to keep growing with my art. I am now looking into teaching art classes and possibly creating an art studio! "All of our dreams can come true if we have the courage to pursue them." Walt Disney

Since last speaking with Coach, she has taken on a new role as Director of the Plainville Recreation Commission in addition to continuing her art and face painting business. Congratulations Lauren on your new role!
Grüezi or Guten Tag mean "Hello" from Dasha!
Dasha McDonald, 2016 graduate and freshman at Pembroke Hill is heading overseas! We asked her to share about this experience that she has coming up next fall.
Tell us about your opportunity to study aboard this fall.
Swiss Semester is a really cool program that I've been interested in ever since I first heard of it from some of my tennis friends, before school even started. Every year, Pembroke sends 2 students to a study abroad program in Switzerland for their first semester of their sophomore year. In Swiss, students live in a resort, that's the main selling-point right there, at the base of a mountain in Zermatt, Switzerland. On weekends, Swiss Semester takes excursions to places like Italy and France to explore the culture of various European cities. Instead of having a regular school day, the Swiss Semester program includes 4 classes in the morning, then 5 hours of outdoor activity (whether it be hiking, skiing, climbing, helicopter rides, etc.), then 2 more classes in school. But, the school run by Swiss is also known to be one of the harder high schools in the world, in a city with no internet access or technological privileges where studying is done from books and essays are written by hand. So that's also taken into consideration (laughs).
How did you apply?
Before I applied, I talked to people that had participated, and it sounded like the experience of a lifetime. To apply, I wrote a total of four essays on why I believed I should get in, who I am as a person, and why I was applying. Oh, and the essays had to be handwritten, a head start into next year's semester! A few weeks later, I found out I, along with one of my close friends, had been accepted! I could not, and still cannot, be more excited to take advantage of such an opportunity life has thrown at me!
Will you miss your family while away?
Of course! But they are even able to come for a visit! Families get to spend a weekend with us and see our program in action! My little sister Katerina is really looking forward to their trip!
I would recommend all students take opportunities like this at any school!
Find out more about this AWESOME program here!

When it comes to Mark Minasi's Windows 2000 books, stories of near-mythical quality abound: Fast-food deliverers read them and are suddenly transformed into savvy enterprise network administrators; newbies crack the covers on Friday night, and by Monday morning they're setting up Active Directory and DNS without breaking a sweat. We can't vouch for those stories, but we can tell you this. With the latest edition of his Windows 2000 book, Minasi's outdone himself.
Mastering Windows 2000 Server, Third Edition has matured to reflect the best of the experience that can only be gained through hundreds of "live" Windows 2000 Server deployments. Minasi, who teaches Win2K nationwide, has gathered wisdom wherever he's traveled, and integrated it into this book, which was exceptional even in its first edition.
For example, this new edition includes extensive new coverage of Microsoft's poorly-documented tools for streamlining Windows 2000 rollouts, RIS and sysprep. Since you really need an in-depth understanding of DNS to make the most of Windows 2000 Server, Minasi has substantially expanded the book's DNS coverage.
Once you really understand Windows 2000 DNS, you're likely to be more willing to consider Active Directory -- and you'll appreciate this edition's improvements here, too: new coverage of sites, replication, operations masters, and above all, deeper coverage of migration. When should you implement multiple domains? When should a single domain be divided into organizational units? How come AD was working fine on Friday night, and on Monday morning it's dead as a doornail?
From user accounts to storage, Terminal Services to Macintosh clients, Minasi's coverage is practical, realistic -- and a pleasure to read. Much of what's in here is utterly indispensable -- for example, the 90-page chapter on preparing for and recovering from server failures, and the shorter chapter on scaling Windows 2000 for the enterprise. Minasi's been there, done that, and boy has he ever written about it: 1,800 pages, none of them wasted.

My iPhone was just a camera for a week!
What Did I Miss?
By Kickntrue on 8/23/10
I literally just found out about the whole PGA Championship mess?! I know I "checked in (you really should check out that link- even if you've already seen it) last Wednesday... but that was all preplanned ahead of time. It was a glorious week of "un-connectivity" but it really doesn't take much time away to feel like you missed a bunch. BUT- the fact is- the world is still spinning all the same and it all would've happened with or without me. It looks like Nathan even did a decent job giving you guys something to talk about. I'll try to put together a "trip to Montana" post sometime this week, that will be completely unrelated to golf, but I've learned you guys are great and some of you are genuinely interested in facets of my life. Plus- it will give me a chance to brag. HOLY CRAP MONTANA IS AWESOME! That should really be their slogan... at least in the summer.
Anyway- I'm back. Only one more week until the World Am Handicap Championship in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. I can't tell you how excited I am about that- both for the golf and chance to meet a couple oobers! I received an email from an oober who is also an restaurateur in the MB area who invited anyone in town out for a night of drinking and hanging out. I'll post more details this week as I figure them out. I really need to get out and hit some balls. The last time I was out- I shot the best finishing 9 of my life (+1) but that was almost a month ago at this point.
Umm... golf post, golf post...
Ah... Arjun Atwal apparently won the Wyndham Championship yesterday, becoming the first Monday qualifier to win a PGA Tour event in 24 years. The win also earned Atwal his Tour Card for next year, so congrats to him. I've always felt Atwal is a decent golfer- but he's mostly known for a street racing accident that involved a fatality a couple years ago. While he was never charged with any wrongdoing- that had to about kill him dealing with that investigation. Congrats to Atwal and I guess now we have to start feigning some excitement for the FedEx Cup!
Atwal Wins!

birdieXris says:
welcome back, man. Yea it's been a crazy couple tournaments in golf for sure. Capped off with Julie Inkster disqualified for swinging a weighted practice club on the 10th tee while waiting to tee off. But that's the LPGA. Does anybody care about them except for me? :(
Kickntrue says:
@birdieXris- yah- i'm just reading about that now. sounds like it may be worthy of a post later today. RIDICULOUS rule... though someone like Inkster should've known that rule.
lcgolfer64 says:
Welcome back - hope the trip was fantastic.
The post of the trip would be cool. We love golf, but vaca pics of that amazing area of the U.S. would be great to see! Oh and I shot an 83 two days in a row - oh wait, you actually wanted to know some interesting news... haha.
Backquak says:
and the rory comment about liking his chances against tiger, that should get some posts. I have to agree with Rory, if Tiger makes the team playing as poorly as he is, whoever he plays better take advantage, but you know everyone would be all in their business
mjaber says:
What about Atwal? I just read on yahoo that someone thinks he intentionally aimed for the grandstand hoping for the free drop. I didn't see it, and can't watch the video... but is it possible he used the rules to his advantage?
Kickntrue says:
@mjaber- wow- that's awesome.
Banker85 says:
ya not sure why he did that but he hit a low hybrid out of the rough for his second shot and it was jammed against the grandstand got the place the ball and chipped to seven feet for par and win. I was confused why he didnt just hit a normal golf shot and try to make the green???
jeremyheslop says:
Short would have been a bad play and the lie was in the rough. Could have chunked it and gotten bogey easy. Smart play albeit taking advantage of the grandstand for an advantage seems like poor golfing etiquette but within the rules. He did say he was going to do it on TV. Sir Faldo couldn't believe his ears LOL
mjaber says:
Forgot to mention this one: Apparently, some LPGA golfers like their caddies BIG (2nd entry- Look past the "Tiger Stack & Tilt")
GolfSmith7 says:
Hey any update on the gps version for iphone? how is it coming along?

Giving Back: 10 Places in the Twin Cities to Volunteer with Kids
While Family Fun Twin Cities is not a website focused on family volunteering, we like to feature family volunteer opportunities in November because we believe giving back with your family can be a lot of fun and teach important lessons. We have collected ten different opportunities to volunteer with kids.
Other ideas can be found here.
October 31-November 4, 2016
• Candy for Troops/Books for Kids @ Fairview Clinics throughout the metro • Even the littlest goblins can bring Halloween candy into a clinic this week to donate to the military troops overseas. For your donation, you will receive a new book and bless our service men and women who would love a little taste of home.
This month, we are thrilled to partner with kiddywampus as our monthly sponsor.
In the month of November, Amy Saldahna and her staff, work with the Ronald McDonald House in the Twin Cities. Just another way to support our community.
November 10, 2016
• Home for Good @ The Food Group, 8501 54th Ave. N, New Hope 11/10/2016 — 9-11:30 am, 1:30-4 pm • Everyone needs a place to call home. But for families transitioning out of a shelter into permanent housing, that home may not have even basic household necessities. Kids ages 10 & older can join United Way community partners to assemble kits for families that need them most. This program also takes place @ The Labor Center, 353 W. 7th St., St. Paul– 11/17/16, 9-11:30 am, 1:30-4 pm.
• More Family Activities in the Month of November • November Guide • Early Holiday Events •
November 17-18, 2016
• Smash to the Max @ Anchor Paper, 480 Broadway St., St. Paul–11/17/16, 7 am-7 pm • Pay $20 for five glorious minutes of SMASHING fun! All the funds raised will be donated to Spare Key. "Spare Key provides assistance to families in crisis with critically ill or seriously injured children through housing grant payment assistance, engaged resource referral and advocacy." All ages are welcome to participate.
• Doing Good Together's National Family Volunteer Day Service Fair @ Midtown Global Market, Minneapolis – 11/18/16, 5-7:30 • Get to know different organizations and non-profits around the metro all in one place. Every project you work on stays put and is used by the groups who set up the projects. Have fun making things for babies, for animals, for the homeless, etc. You will be blessed by simply participating.
Ongoing throughout November/YEAR
• Feed My Starving Children, Chanhassen, Coon Rapids, Eagan • Food packers are needed six days a week throughout the year and are vital to this global outreach ministry. Kids ages five and older are able to help scoop ingredients, measure and weight food packs, and seal. The atmosphere is encouraging and uplifting and FUN!
• Habitat for Humanity • Cookie bakers provide freshly baked treats for the construction volunteers at each site. This is an on-call opportunity with minimal commitment. Sign up on their email list, and they will let you know when a project is in need of encouragement. Then, at home, kids can help make a batch of cookies and deliver 2-4 dozen to their office.
• Mano a Mano, St. Paul • Volunteer opportunities are available for individuals, families and groups to re-package medical supplies to be distributed to those in need in Bolivia.
• Meals on Wheels, throughout the Metro • Meals on Wheels benefits seniors and disabled individuals by serving fresh, nutritious meals to them in their home. This helps many of these people be able to stay at home instead of moving into a nursing home. Here are some great ways kids can help volunteer: decorate lunch bags, create no-sew fleece blankets, assemble "We Care" packages, deliver meals with an adult, decorate oven mitts for delivery drivers, and create greeting or birthday cards.
• Second Harvest Heartland, Golden Valley & Maplewood • The concept is very similar to that of Feed My Starving Children. To volunteer at the GV site, kids must be at least 8 years; at the Maplewood site, they must be 12.
End of November-December
• Salvation Army bell ringers, various Twin Cities locations • Bring a small group, a big group, or any group and get ready to entertain and encourage others to give to the Salvation Army Red Kettles for a couple of hours. It is a true fact that the red kettles collect more when someone is there. Read a story, sing a Christmas carol, cheer for every penny. Have fun and make donating an experience!

Actor Dileep and his troupe did a month-long tour of the US, doing stage shows arranged by Tara Arts Vijayan. Top artists like Salim Kumar, Kalabhavan Mani, Nadir Shah, Kavya Madhavan, Subi, Bhavana, Rimi Tomy and Subi performed 16 shows in various cities like New Jersey, Boston, New York and Florida.
Stage shows by film artists are hugely popular in the US, where there is a huge Malayalee population. The three-hour stage shows usually consist of a comedy skit, mimicry, dance and a few popular songs.
The highlight of this tour was a hilarious skit, Kunjikoonante Adya Rathri, featuring Dileep, Kalabhavan Mani and Kavya Madhavan.

It was part of the bond Nicholson, who play at Monroeville (Pa.) Gateway, felt with the staff during his first official visit.
"Any time the head coach takes the time to talk to you before the game about what they're trying to do, that just shows me they're very interested and very sincere and they care," Nicholson said. "I watched practice and hung out with the players, but the thing that reached me the most was how sincere the coaches were. It's not like they were blowing smoke at me. They were sincere and honest with what they were saying.
"The defensive backs coach and wide receivers coach were very blunt. They don't pull punches. They're going to tell you how it is. Coach Dantonio as well. All of the coaches are like that."
It also helps the Spartans are recruiting Nicholson to play as a receiver and a safety.
"It's nice," he said. "It means it's going to take more work, but it's nothing I can't handle." Nicholson was hosted by former western Pennsylvania prep standout Demetrious Cox, but he felt a kinship with many others on the team because he was able to hang out with so many of the Spartans.
"I was having dinner with the team and chatting it up and having fun with those guys, and the game was a lot more fun than I thought it would be," Nicholson said. "It was more than I expected. I had so much fun out there, and I learned so much. Not just about Michigan State, but from football as well that I can bring back to (Gateway) offensively and defensively."
Nicholson arrived Saturday morning with his mom after a Friday night game, and attended the game against the Bulls.
On Sunday, he was able to see the campus.
"The campus is beautiful, and it's huge," he said. "I didn't realize it was first called the Michigan Agricultural College …and it took about 15 minutes to get out there and the campus was huge, but it's gorgeous. That's where they do their turf research, and things like that.
"The main campus is just like any other campus. The dorms are nice, and I was with my host and the life there seems great. Honestly."
Nicholson is set to make an official visit to Pittsburgh on Sept. 28 and to Oregon on Oct. 25.

Talk about an out-of-this-world proposal!
An avid Star Trek fan popped the question during a "Star Trek: The Next Generation" cast photo op on Oct. 28 at the Austin Wizard World Con, and Wil Wheaton — who played Wesley Crusher on the '90s sci-fi show — was seated next to the unsuspecting bride-to-be.
The proposal pic popped up on Reddit, a popular online sharing site, and the sci-fi star — who has also had guest appearances on "The Big Bang Theory" — detailed the experience in the comments section.
Check out these big-screen spoilers from the Star Trek sequel!
"About 30 minutes or so into this particular session, these two people came in. The girl went to stand between Patrick [Stewart] and [Jonathan] Frakes, and the guy directed her to stand in the front, instead," Wheaton recounts. "All of us tried to figure out what was going on ... and the guy said, 'I really love Star Trek, but I love [her name] even more.' He got down on one knee, and proposed to her."
Aw, so sweet!
We wish the super fans many years of wedded bliss.

Interested in Beijing?
We'll send you updates with the latest deals, reviews and articles for Beijing each week.
Topics include Transportation, China: For Foreign Visitors & more!
When going for a shopping trip in markets (not in shopping malls or regular stores) in Beijing remember these principles and phrases
You will find what you are looking for on Wangfujing. Besides the international labels, you will also find some of the greatest Chinese brands including LI-NING Sportswear. They have 2 flagship stores on Wangfujing. Great stores. Some call it the Chinese Nike, the quality is the same but the great thing is their sports wear contains many oriental spirit in its designs. When in Wanfuging DO NOT miss the food street which has scorpions, sea horses, rays, cocoons and star fishes being served as delicacies. If you are lucky you might see a curious ( and courageous) foreigner trying these delicacies in front of you. Understand that the Wangfujing street area is mostly visited by tourists (rarely locals are seen there) including Chinese tourists and full of scammers.
Department Stores and Malls
Beijing is the kingdom of malls and department stores.
Malls at Oriental Plaza, 1 Dongchang'an Jie
Oriental Plaza is a huge complex. It's got the Grand Hyatt Hotel, plenty of offices and of course the big mall. At the mall you've got everything from an American-like-food store, food court, apple retailer, record shop with lots of extra-cheap records, Starbucks, Nautica, Levi's, Swarovski, Paul Smith, Valentino and many other luxury boutiques.
Sun Dong An Plaza, 138 Wanfujing Daije
Here you've got Western labels for everyone to share. Reebok, Nike, Däagen Haz, FCUK; it's all here.
Pearl Market (Hongqiao Market), 16 Hongqiao Lu
Don't be fooled by the name. While the Pearl Market does sell its name-sake, it also sells just about everything else. If you want to bone up on your bargaining skills, check this place out. Just remember, a lot of it is knockoff, so be wary if you plan on buying pearls (better to bring along a guide, if possible).
Panjiayuan (Dirt Market),
This market is only on weekend and it is recommended that you get there very early as most of the stalls are set up by dawn. You will find an array of goods for sale here and it's the best place to shop for arts and crafts, antiques, souvenirs. It is an outdoor market and it can get extremely crowded so do make sure you keep a good eye on your valuables.
Silk Market, Jianguomenwai Dajie
Located on the northern side of Jianguomenwai Daijie you will find a range of fake clothing, jackets, bags, purses, shoes, souvenirs, paintings and jewelry. All indoors there are many floors of this market to explore. This is a hot spot of tourist and so often the prices will be high even after bargaining. Be careful against pickpockets as this market does get busy and crowded.
Yashou Clothing Market, 58 Gongrentiyuchang Beilu
Similar to the Silk Market and Pearl Market you will find fake clothing, souvenirs, bags, and fake ski jackets here. There a tailors on the third floor who can make custom made clothing for you within 24 hours. The market is approximately a 20CNY taxi ride from the centre of town and is further out than the Silk Market however you will find that there aren't as many tourist and you will be able to get a better price there than the Silk Market. As with all the markets you need to bargain hard, most of the starting prices will be outrageous and often you will end up paying 10% - 30% of this price. This market closes at 8h30pm. Don't listen to what the sales people are telling you. "You are killing me " " I lose money" and "Impossible" ... T-shirts: 20-25RMB Running Shoes: 50-80 RMB Dress Shoes: 80-100 RMB "timberland" boots: 120RMB Belts: 20 RMB Ties: 10 RMB Custom Shirts: 80 RMB Custom Suits: 600-800 RMB Jeans: 80 RMB Jackets: 100-150 RMB Baby clothes: 20-40 RMB

Video: Riding in the car with LSU coach Les Miles seems dangerous
ESPN's Kaylee Hartung was treated to a ride along with LSU coach Les Miles as part of an "All Access" piece, and it's no surprise coach Miles drives a bit like how he coaches. I'm not sure what the liability laws are like on these sorts of packages, but we can all be thankful Les wasn't flying a plane in the video.
Hartung had to remind him to buckle up at the beginning of the drive, and at one point Miles ran a red light, to which the coach replied, "You didn't notice that it changed. I anticipated the change." So there you have it. Les Miles is like a precog from Minority Report, capable of seeing the future, or at least the future of traffic lights.
That explains why Miles calls mysterious time outs and has his own style of clock management. He's merely anticipating what others cannot.Coaching Search

Touch-screens and QWERTY keyboards are the combination du jour. The Motorola Fire is the latest to hop on the touch'n'type bandwagon with a full QWERTY sitting pretty beneath a 2.8-inch touch display.
First announced back in July, the Android 2.3 Gingerbread is a mid-range smartphone skinned with Moto's Switch UI, whose main USP is that you can switch to 'friend-centric' home screens when you're off work and being social.
The Fire is now confirmed to be available in the UK at the end of September. If the thought of a 'budget-friendly' Gingerbread phone with a three-megapixel camera, HSDPA, Wi-Fi and GPS, plus a decent-sounding battery life turns you on, keep an eye for further network details.
