I think people are getting way too worked up about the beta invite.
1) As Matt said, if you still thought when they announced that 1 million people had signed up for the AP, that each and every one of those folks would be getting full and immediate access, then you weren't doing much critical thinking. Even if they assigned us servers, that'd be 1/4 million per server with no stress testing at all. It would have been an absolutely horrible experience, and I would rather wait my turn than deal with that.
2) I get that the wording was confusing, and it's frustrating, but it's hard to blame Blizzard for not knowing how extremely popular the deal would be. I suppose we'll just have to survive with our free mount, and 100% free copy of Diablo III. How terrible!
3) I have to say, that if you go into the game thinking to yourself: "Hey! I get a head start on playing the new expansion! Yay!"...then don't download the client. I seriously feel that has the potential to completely ruin the experience of the expansion for you. Because of the raw amount of repetition that you'll be undergoing, and because of the unpolished nature of the beta, I guarantee you'll be let down and worn down if you think of this as early access. Add in the fact that you could be doing this without the benefit of having friends to help entertain you, and that can just make the experience worse.
Yes, getting access to the beta is exciting, and we want to all see the new and interesting things that come with it...but that's not the purpose of the Beta, and people need to remember that. The more smoothly that the beta goes early, the faster we can possibly get to release. Which means the more not only can the AP folks enjoy MoP, but so can the 9-10 million that didn't sign up for annual pass.

Cook County Sheriff Tom Dart
Updated: January 18, 2014 6:18AM
Let's hear it, folks, for Chief Cook County Judge Tom Dart, who's doing his best to make sure other judges don't inappropriately sentence violent offenders to mere boot camp.
Wait. We got that wrong. Dart isn't the chief judge; he's the county sheriff. Sorry for the mistake, but we were confused because Dart is doing what the real chief judge, Timothy Evans, should be doing but is not: pushing criminal court judges to follow the law when imposing sentences.
Prompted by a Sun-Times investigation last month that revealed violent offenders were being improperly sentenced to nothing more than boot camp at the Cook County Jail, Dart wrote a letter last week to judges asking them to confirm that 52 inmates recently sentenced to boot camp were, in fact, eligible for the program.
The letter got fast results. Judges immediately responded that they intended to resentence four of the 52 inmates, would review the sentences of two more inmates, and believed that eight other inmates had been sentenced correctly. Dart is awaiting the judges' confirmation of the boot camp sentences for the remaining 38 inmates on his list.
Based on his office's own screening, Dart believes 35 of the offenders are not eligible for mere boot camp. His letter, simply because he sent it, can be seen as a challenge to the judges: Think about imposing a stiffer sentence, one more appropriate under the law, or the onus is on you if this offender commits another violent crime.
We have long argued that boot camp, like the electronic monitoring of offenders in their home communities, can be an excellent alternative to prison. For young, low-level and nonviolent offenders, boot camp offers a better chance at rehabilitation — at a lower cost to taxpayers — than a prison stint with hard-core offenders. Boot camp is a four-month military-style program in which inmates, many of whom are teenagers, attend school and get job training.
But public support for boot camp is undermined when judges ignore state sentencing laws and send the wrong people — violent people — there. Just two weeks ago, a data analysis conducted for the Sun-Times by the University of Chicago Crime Lab showed that gun offenders sentenced to boot camp are more likely to be rearrested than those sent to prison. We can't help but wonder if that finding says less about the merits of boot camp than about the fact that the wrong people are being sent there.
When judges go too easy on violent offenders, they threaten the very existence of good alternatives to prison for nonviolent offenders.
Based on a review of thousands of pages of court records, Frank Main of the Sun-Times reported last month that judges since 2006 have sentenced hundreds of violent felons to boot camp. That included 17 armed robbers — a Class X felony — of whom 12 were arrested for new crimes after their release from the program. One was picked up for armed robbery, another for murder.
If judges are confused about the sentencing laws, as some judges say they are, then it falls to Chief Judge Evans to clear up the confusion. Evans might, for one, compose a memo clarifying those laws — and instructing all judges to follow them. But Evans, who has declined to discuss this issue on the record, often describes his job as only "administrative." He has shown great reluctance to involve himself in how judges run their courts or determine sentences.
For that same reason — what looks to us like a general loathing to step on colleagues' toes — Evans also has refused make public data from tracking software that shows how individual judges are performing, which might separate the workhorses from the afternoon golfers.
Chief Judge Evans isn't behaving like much of a chief.

Celebrating International Day of Farmers' Struggles
Posted: April 16, 2014 at 10:53 pm
The US Food Sovereignty Alliance launches its Seed Report on the International Day of Farmers' Struggles in Defense of Peasants' and Farmers' Seeds. La Via Campesina, the largest social movement in the world, designated April 17 as a day to celebrate and support the struggles of farmers, rural people and their allies for justice and self-determination.
New Seed Survey Report Highlights Privatization Concerns
Posted: April 16, 2014 at 5:05 pm
The US Food Sovereignty Alliance is proud to present A Preliminary Report on Seeds and Seeds Practices across the US in celebration of La Via Campesina's International Day of Farmers' Struggles in Defense of Peasants' and Farmers' Seeds – April 17.
The report is based on surveys of seed savers and seed advocates from around the United States. It documents who saves seeds, as well as why, where and which ones. Responses reveal that many growers save and share seeds to produce healthy food, preserve their cultural heritage, and to defy efforts by transnational agribusinesses to privately patent and monopolize control of seeds.
The report is especially pertinent during 2014, the International Year of Family Farming, as designated by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations.
Based on the surveys and the Call to Action of the US Food Sovereignty Alliance, the report provides individual, community, national and international action recommendations aimed at defending seeds from privatization and preserving them for the common good.
The U.S. Food Sovereignty Alliance presents this report in solidarity with La Via Campesina in its global efforts to defend food and seed sovereignty.Tags: Defense of Mother Earth, food, privatize, seeds, sovereignty

MySQL Events are tasks that run according to a schedule.
Therefore, we sometimes refer to them as
scheduled events. When you create an event,
you are creating a named database object containing one or more
SQL statements to be executed at one or more regular intervals,
beginning and ending at a specific date and time. Conceptually,
this is similar to the idea of the Unix
(also known as a 「cron job」) or the Windows Task
Scheduled tasks of this type are also sometimes known as 「temporal triggers」, implying that these are objects that are triggered by the passage of time. While this is essentially correct, we prefer to use the term events in order to avoid confusion with triggers of the type discussed in 18章トリガ. Events should more specifically not be confused with 「temporary triggers」. Whereas a trigger is a database object whose statements are executed in response to a specific type of event that occurs on a given table, a (scheduled) event is an object whose statements are executed in response to the passage of a specified time interval.
While there is no provision in the SQL Standard for event scheduling, there are precedents in other database systems, and you may notice some similarities between these implementations and that found in the MySQL Server.
MySQL Events have the following major features and properties:
In MySQL 5.1.12 and later, an event is uniquely identified by its name and the schema to which it is assigned. (Previously, an event was also unique to its definer.)
An event performs a specific action according to a schedule.
This action consists of an SQL statement, which can be a
compound statement in a
BEGIN ... END block
if desired (see 「
BEGIN ... END 複合ステートメント構文」). An event's
timing can be either one-time or
recurrent. A one-time event executes
one time only. A recurrent event repeats its action at a
regular interval, and the schedule for a recurring event can
be assigned a specific start day and time, end day and time,
both, or neither. (By default, a recurring event's schedule
begins as soon as it is created, and continues indefinitely,
until it is disabled or dropped.)
Users can create, modify, and drop scheduled events using SQL statements intended for these purposes. Syntactically invalid event creation and modification statements fail with an appropriate error message. A user may include statements in an event's action which require privileges that the user does not actually have. The event creation or modification statement succeeds but the event's action fails. See 「The Event Scheduler and MySQL Privileges」 for details.
Many of the properties of an event can be set or modified
using SQL statements. These properties include the event's
name, timing, persistence (that is, whether it is preserved
following the expiration of its schedule), status (enabled or
disabled), action to be performed, and the schema to which it
is assigned. See 「
ALTER EVENT Syntax」.
The definer of an event is the user who created the event,
unless the event has been altered, in which case the definer
is the user who issued the last
statement effecting that event. An event can be modified by
any user having the
EVENT privilege on the
database for which the event is defined. (Prior to MySQL
5.1.12, only an event's definer, or a user having privileges
on the
mysql.event table, could modify a
given event.) See 「The Event Scheduler and MySQL Privileges」.
An event's action statement may include most SQL statements permitted within stored routines.
Events are executed by a special event scheduler
thread; when we refer to the Event Scheduler, we
actually refer to this thread. When running, the event scheduler
thread and its current state can be seen by users having the
SUPER privilege in the output of
PROCESSLIST, as shown in the discussion that follows.
The global variable
event_scheduler determines
whether the Event Scheduler is enabled and running on the server.
Beginning with MySQL 5.1.12, it has one of these 3 values, which
affect event scheduling as described here:
OFF: The Event Scheduler is stopped. The
event scheduler thread does not run, is not shown in the
output of
SHOW PROCESSLIST, and no
scheduled events are executed.
OFF is the
default value for
When the Event Scheduler is stopped
event_scheduler is
OFF), it can be started by setting the
value of
event_scheduler to
ON. (See next item.)
ON: The Event Scheduler is started; the
event scheduler thread runs and executes all scheduled events.
When the Event Scheduler is
ON, the event
scheduler thread is listed in the output of
PROCESSLIST as a daemon process, and its state is
represented as shown here:
*************************** 1. row ***************************
Id: 1
User: root
Host: localhost
db: NULL
Command: Query
Time: 0
State: NULL
Info: show processlist
*************************** 2. row ***************************
Id: 2
User: event_scheduler
Host: localhost
db: NULL
Command: Daemon
Time: 3
State: Waiting for next activation
Info: NULL
2 rows in set (0.00 sec)
Event scheduling can be stopped by setting the value of
event_scheduler to
DISABLED: This value renders the Event
Scheduler non-operational. When the Event Scheduler is
DISABLED, the event scheduler thread does
not run (and so does not appear in the output of
When the server is running
event_scheduler can
be toggled between
ON and
OFF (using
SET). It is also
possible to use
0 for
1 for
ON when setting
this variable. Thus, any of the following 4 statements can be used
in the mysql client to turn on the Event
SET GLOBAL event_scheduler = ON; SET @@global.event_scheduler = ON; SET GLOBAL event_scheduler = 1; SET @@global.event_scheduler = 1;
Similarly, any of these 4 statements can be used to turn off the Event Scheduler:
SET GLOBAL event_scheduler = OFF; SET @@global.event_scheduler = OFF; SET GLOBAL event_scheduler = 0; SET @@global.event_scheduler = 0;
ON and
OFF have
numeric equivalents, the value displayed for
event_scheduler by
SELECT or
SHOW VARIABLES is always one of
ON, or
has no numeric equivalent. For this reason,
ON and
OFF are usually
preferred over
1 and
0 when
setting this variable.
Note that attempting to set
without specifying it as a global variable causes an error:
SET @@event_scheduler = OFF;
ERROR 1229 (HY000): Variable 'event_scheduler' is a GLOBAL
variable and should be set with SET GLOBAL
Important: It is not possible to
enable or disable the Event Scheduler when the server is running.
That is, you can change the value of
event_scheduler to
— or from
DISABLED to one of the other
permitted values for this option — only when the server is
stopped. Attempting to do so when the server is running fails with
an error.
To disable the event scheduler, use one of the following two methods:
As a command-line option when starting the server:
In the server configuration file (
my.ini on Windows systems), include
the line where it will be read by the server (for example, in
[mysqld] section):
To enable the Event Scheduler, restart the server without the
command line option, or after removing or commenting out the line
event_scheduler=DISABLED in the
server configuration file, as appropriate. Alternatively, you can
ON (or
1) or
OFF (or
0) in place of the
DISABLED value when starting the server.
Note: You can issue
event-manipulation statements when
event_scheduler is set to
DISABLED. No warnings or errors are generated
in such cases (provided that the statements are themselves valid).
However, scheduled events cannot execute until this variable is
set to
ON (or
1). Once this
has been done, the event scheduler thread executes all events
whose scheduling conditions are satisfied.
In MySQL 5.1.11,
event_scheduler behaved as
follows: this variable could take one of the values
0 (or
1 (or
ON), or
2. Setting it to
0 turned
event scheduling off, so that the event scheduler thread did not
run; the
event_scheduler variable could not be
set to this value while the server was running. Setting it to
1 so that the event scheduler thread ran and
executed scheduled events. In this state, the event scheduler
thread appeared to be sleeping when viewed with
PROCESSLIST. When
event_scheduler was
set to
2 (which was the default value), the
Event Scheduler was considered to be 「suspended」; the
event scheduler thread ran and could be seen in the output of
SHOW PROCESSLIST (where
Suspended was displayed in the
State column), but did not execute any
scheduled events. The value of
could be changed only between
1 (or
ON) and
2 while the server
was running. Setting it to
0 (or
OFF) required a server restart, as did changing
its value from
0 (or
OFF) to
1 (or
ON) or
Prior to MySQL 5.1.11,
event_scheduler could
take one of only the 2 values
OFF or
ON, and the default value
OFF. It was also
possible to start and stop the event scheduler thread while the
MySQL server was running.
For more information concerning the reasons for these changes in behaviour, see Bug #17619.
For SQL statements used to create, alter, and drop events, see 「Event Scheduler Syntax」.
MySQL 5.1.6 and later provides an
EVENTS table
in the
INFORMATION_SCHEMA database. This table
can be queried to obtian information about scheduled events which
have been defined on the server. See
「Event Metadata」, and
INFORMATION_SCHEMA EVENTS テーブル」, for more information.
For information regarding event scheduling and the MySQL privilege system, see 「The Event Scheduler and MySQL Privileges」.

It was approximately two months from our moving date, right around when we found out that we got the apartment, that J and I decided to tag along with our friends on a trip to IKEA. I'm always good for a trip to IKEA (I think it's because of the Swedish in my blood!) and for some reason J likes it to so we thought we'd just go along for the ride.
The purpose of this trip, in all seriousness, was that a bunch of us were going in on a desk for our friend, who really wanted a desk for a birthday present. It wasn't until we found the said desk and were waiting in the longest line ever that I decided to run over to the as-is section to check it out.
For those of you who have never seen the as-is section IKEA, it's a little something like this: it's a room that's usually near the cash but on the main floor, just off of the warehouse. Anything that a customer has returned pretty much goes in there because a piece of IKEA furniture can't be sold if it's already been assembled. (Oh the irony!) On that particular day the room was practically overflowing because the staff were changing around a lot of the displays. All of the gently used furniture that had already been assembled on the show room floor was on sale.
Including this baby:
J often talked about wanting a sectional couch as we entertain quite frequently (and by entertain I mean his buddies come over and play video games). We both liked the clean lines of the Karlstad couch and while J preferred a leather cover, we both agreed that neither of us had the inclination to take care of it properly and with two dogs in the house who are pretty much allowed to do whatever they want, it seemed like an impracticality.
J didn't care about the colour. I was hoping for something neutral and classic- either a brown or a dark grey. A large, expensive piece like that is something we hope to keep for a long time and my decorating style leans to pops of colour instead of colourful pieces of furniture like this:
So I went in to the as-is section and look was waiting there for me.
Okay, so it's just the same picture again (I didn't have the foresight to take pictures in the room.) But let's see that photo from IKEA again, this time with the sale price.
Some people might not get as excited as I do when I see a sale, but $300 off of my dream couch seemed to be just that- a dream, especially considering IKEA very rarely has sales. (And for those of you who think my math is wrong, the Karlstad has just come down in price from $1,299)
It was that moment where J came back from the restaurant to look for me and found me in the as-is section. I jokingly said to him, "Remember how I asked you to buy me something when we went to IKEA?"
He said, "Yeah, so I bought you this ice cream" and handed over the cone he was holding.
I thanked him and pointed at the couch, "I would also like you to buy me that couch, please."
He took a look at it, looked at the price tag and said, "Okay."
Honestly? He must have been on drugs or something because that was just crazy talk. But it wasn't crazy talk and we really did end up buying it, along with a funny little plant that I also found in the as-is section- just because it had a couple of brown leaves!
Now, I wouldn't recommend buying such a large piece of furniture like that on the fly- not because I don't love my couch, or don't appreciate a good sale, but it was the aftermath that really got me in trouble.
See, what we didn't take into account was that the room of our place where we thought about storing the couch temporarily became no longer available as a storage space. And we hadn't bothered to measure our doorways, or the overhang of the ceiling of the staircase to our apartment downstairs.
You just fill in the blanks. Yeah, I know. It was not that smart.
This is one time where buying a piece of furniture that is traditionally flat-packed came in handy. We (and I mean J and my dad; I was just hovering around like a nervous helicopter) managed to unscrew one arm of the couch so we could slide it down the stairs, where it's lived since. Half of it is in the upright position, half of it is being used as an actual sofa.
The couch, even in its split form, has held up during the two months that we've had it. Numerous people and dogs have bounced around it, slept on it and lounged on it, and all commented on how comfortable it is. The nubbly fabric seems really durable, holds up to doggie claws and doesn't collect dog hair the same way our old one did. We haven't spilled anything on it yet, so I don't know yet how resistant it is to stains but I will let you know if/when it happens!
So advice to you young, couch-buying grasshoppers is this: when buying a major piece of furniture you must plan, plan and then plan some more. Measure everything, twice. Save your pennies. Think of everything that could go wrong, and then come up with solutions.
Then check those random sales at your favorite furniture store. You might be surprised!

Story reported by David Harns: Wounded members of the US Army sitting front row at the MSU vs. UCONN game at Ramstein Air Base. Michigan State and Connecticut might be here to play a basketball game, but this is about so much more than a game. It's about the three members of the US Army who are sitting behind the MSU bench, in the front row. A row reserved for Wounded Warriors. (From left to right) Spc. Joshua Wirth did reconnaissance work, and was a gunner in the top of the vehicle in which he was wounded in. During duty, Wirth was blown up by pressure plate IED in Logar, Afgahanistan. The force of the explosion knocked him unconscious and caused him to lose eye sight in right eye. Also, he suffered a tramatic brain injury. This is his first time out of hospital in 3 weeks. Spc. Dustin Chesser, 21, was injured in Ethiopia. He suffered vision and heart problems. Spc. Cory Gizzi, 21, of New York, tore his ACL and miniscus in Afghanistan. He is looking at a 4 weeks to 11-month recovery. Gizzi said that it's a "big morale booster" to see the Spartans, a team that he loves. Michigan State and Connecticut are doing this for much more than their basketball programs. They're doing it for those that go through real hardships and real battle, voluntarily.

Stabilization and Solidification of Hazardous, Radioactive, and Mixed Wastes
Preview (read now) Add to my own site Give this ebook to a friend Add to my wishlist Author's page Publisher's page
moreThe development of stabilization and solidification techniques in the field of waste treatment reflects the efforts to better protect human health and the environment with modern advances in materials and technology. Stabilization and Solidification of Hazardous, Radioactive, and Mixed Wastes provides comprehensive information including case studies, selection criteria, and regulatory considerations on waste characterization, contaminant transport and leachability, testing methods for stabilized waste forms, and the interactions between contaminants and stabilizing components.
The book describes various systems based on cement technology that are used for stabilization and solidification of wastes. It demonstrates how to design a stabilized waste form, including the use of statistical techniques for generating response surface models for large, complicated applications. It provides guidelines for the selection of bonding materials, such as hydraulic cements, polymers, and hydroceramics, and discusses several additives and sorbents used to enhance immobilization, binder properties, and contaminant stabilization. The book portrays the transport mechanisms of contaminants in treated wastes and how to predict the transport of contaminants with various mathematical models. Following a discussion of waste types, principles, and properties of cemented waste forms, such as microstructure and durability, it outlines the test methods used to evaluate them.
Fusing research, technology, and general practice principles taken from the firsthand experience of scientists, engineers, regulators, and teachers, Stabilization and Solidification of Hazardous, Radioactive, and Mixed Wastes can be used in advanced environmental engineering courses and as a reference for stabilization and solidification engineers, technology vendors and buyers, laboratory technicians, scientists, environmentalists, policymakers, and managers in treatment storage and disposal facilities. less

Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst did not have to go there.Nobody at a Tea Party meeting Monday night in Bedford asked him about impeaching the president of the United States.No, the lieutenant governor of Texas apparently went there totally on his own, calling for impeachment over the attack last year on American diplomats in Libya and unspecific trampling on our liberties.Dewhurst, a former U.S. State Department diplomat and undercover CIA case officer in Bolivia, knows exactly how serious it is to call for a presidential trial over specific high Crimes and Misdemeanors.According to the liberal Texas Observer, Dewhurst told a candidate forum: This election is about protecting you and your freedoms, which are given to you by God, but which are being trampled on by Barack Obama right now. I dont know about you, but Barack Obama ought to be impeached not only for trampling on our liberties, but what he did in Benghazi is just a crime.Dewhurst spokesman Travis Considine confirmed the comments to the online Texas Tribune. He said Dewhurst feels the U.S. House should consider impeachment proceedings over the Benghazi attack, border security and executive decisions under the Affordable Care Act.As an ex-CIA operative and a Texas government official solemnly sworn to uphold the Constitution, Dewhurst knows that impeachment requires serious evidence of treason, bribery or a criminal act.Lacking evidence, he is just telling this particular Tea Party what it wants to hear.At least when U.S. Rep. Michael Burgess called for impeachment before this group in 2011, he was answering a question and acknowledged his intent to politically tie things up. Dewhurst seems serious or serious about impressing a Tea Party group.Facing three seasoned opponents in his bid for the Republican nomination, and with a veteran Democratic senator considering a general-election campaign next fall, Dewhurst should not be tossing the word impeachment around as lightly as tip coins at Austin Land & Cattle.Now he can no longer take umbrage if an opponent remembers his poor clock management at the end of the June special session and calls for impeaching a lieutenant governor.

LUBBOCK, TX (KCBD) - Trees and power lines were some of the casualties of the ice storm, and because of it thousands still had no power on Thursday night. Trees falling over on power lines caused most of the problems in Lubbock.
Tree's also caused damage to houses, which was quite a surprise to one woman who lives on 56th Street. "I heard this terrific crash. I thought oh my, did somebody run into the house or what?" said Betty Bessire. Thursday morning she looked outside and found a tree on top of her home. "It was a beautiful tree. Well taken care of, and then the center of it comes out. Isn't that amazing," Bessire said.
Other Lubbock residents woke up to similar situations across town. "I just hate it because this tree is probably worth $25,000. It's the cornerstone of my house. It's just beautiful, and it just fell."
Falling trees caused problems for Lubbock Power and Light who had all of their crews responding to isolated outages, causing 100s of customers to lose power. "With these isolated incidents it takes a little bit longer because we're having to go to so many places," said Chris Simms with LP&L.
South Plains Electric Coop customers in several rural areas including Lorenzo, Hale Center, Shallowater, and Halfway lost power. At 2:00 p.m. Thursday Xcel Energy had 7,500 customers still without power.
LP&L asks customers to help them by turning on their porch light if they experience an outage. "If that light is on, then that'll tell us that you have power back to your home," said Simms. LP&L says there's a good chance we'll see even more problems as the ice and snow continues.

Research, Outreach, and Funding / MidMod
In 2005, Professor of Architecture Harry Giles received an NSF-PATH Grant to research "technological innovations in an industrially-designed and manufactured modular housing concept for low energy, prefabricated, low-rise low-income housing units." The grant solicitation – $300,000 over three years – was to encourage greater collaboration among disparate industry stakeholders, advance innovations in home building, and to create new avenues of research and development. Giles' objective was to research and develop concepts that would "dramatically contribute to the advancement of technology, engineering... as well as have significant long-term relevance for the homebuilding industry and society." Giles developed a modular housing concept called MidMod that integrates customization of affordable living units and flexibility in building design with industrialized manufacturing methods.
MidMod, which stands for Midrise Modern Modular, is a new genre of affordable medium density building concepts that are more adaptable, durable, and energy efficient as whole-life housing typologies than those currently available. The individual units are customizable in their format and dimensions, and the units can be stacked to create tall buildings. The building units are ideally suited to mixed use developments and can house shops, offices and restaurants. The building system offers low-income families the opportunity to own their homes, and encourages a viable mixed use development that can serve as a model for creating socially sustainable communities. MidMod has demonstrated energy savings of up to 50 percent as a consequence of integrating passive energy strategies with efficient mixed mode hydronic heating and cooling systems. The MidMod concept is ideally suited to create opportunities for repopulating urban areas. As a result Professor Giles and his team focused on sites in the Detroit inner urban area and similar sites in other cites as a model for housing in urban regeneration schemes. The principles of his work will be equally relevant to the re-densification of cities throughout the world.
Giles collaborated with faculty from various departments outside the college and enlisted students throughout research and fabrication. MidMod has involved a total of 10 faculty and 49 students through a number of studio and workshop style courses. Giles has collaborated closely with Lecturer Lars Graebner; architecture students Glen Ginter (M.Arch.'08), Kristen Dotson (graduate), and Kelly Raczkowski (undergraduate); and Aggie Drelich (graduate) and Mary Martin (graduate) in documenting, component detailing, design integration, and prototype fabrication. Following a successful prototype design build project starting in summer 2008, Kelly has continued to work with Giles on the fabrication of a prototype with graduate architecture student Dwight Song. Kelly values the ongoing experience of working with Giles and being involved at every stage from researching materials to working on the construction of the prototype. Dwight, who is planning to pursue a career in construction, is particularly interested in the creation of the prototype. He is glad to have some input in the actual production, including material choices and placement of components. At the design and documentation level, graduate student Mary Martin studied the thermal performance of MidMod and Aggie Drelich assisted with the design coordination of the MidMod prototype. She has been assisting with the creation of a website for the project. Mary and Aggie began working on the project with Giles in July 2008 and are receiving independent study credit for their work. The team created a full-scale prototype while learning the many facets of putting together a real prototype from an initial concept. The prototype is expected to be placed on display in the fall.

New York Man Stole Bread Truck, Made Deliveries
By Chris Atticus | Thursday, May 22, 2014
A man stole a New York City bread truck and began delivering loaves of savory baked goods to random businesses, the bakery's owner said Thursday.
Reportedly wearing only his underwear, Bastar then allegedly began dropping off baguettes, whole-wheat rolls and sourdough bread — but not to the bakery's customers, said Joe Grimaldi, the owner of the baker in the Ridgewood neighborhood of Queens. Grimaldi said about $5,000 in bread was taken. The whole story here.

Nigel Dean Road Bike$50 GPB
Nigel Dean 10 speed road bike. Not sure of age. I bought it, used, from Manchester Cycle Exchange in Urmston in 1987. Fully rideable as is, everything works as it should but could do with some tidying - bar tape, brake cables etc. The chrome rims are rusting through age and lack of use but will clean up OK, all other metal is alloy. Would be a good restoration or maybe fixie project. Pick up only from Sale M33.

3:20 PM PT -- It's on bitches ... Gloria tells TMZ, she is now OFFICIALLY representing Tiffany Mitchell.
You knew it was just a matter of time ... but Lindsay Lohan's accuser has already hooked up with Gloria Allred -- who smells a lawsuit?!??
It's unclear if Tiffany Mitchell has officially hired Allred as her attorney ... but the two were spotted together on the streets of New York City moments ago ... sporting a pair of million dollar smiles.
We broke the story ... Mitchell claims Lohan slugged her in the face at Avenue nightclub Wednesday night.
Stay tuned ... a news conference is probably on the way ...
Not a Allred fan but I would do the same thing. some drunk b!tch starts screaming at me, and the punches me I'm pressing charges tough crap. Lindsay is a fool for acting out like that, I hope this woman and that truck driver sue the hell out of her and win!
Hell yes, sue her for punitive damages, alination of affection, pain and suffeing...eveything.
Just be glad that Lindsay didn't hit her with a vodka bottle.
I hope Lindsay gets all fcked up and whacks Gloria upside the head with a vodka bottle. While Gloria is doing her inevitable press conference. Gloria will go down (knocked out) and Lindsay will go down for attempted manslaughter. Two birds with one stone!
I think Gloria Alred is the antichrist of lawyers. She wasted everyone's time with trying Romeny for saying Staple's stock is worthless, like who even cares. She is just mucking around taking the wrong side of things as usual.
She is a smart attorney but the fruit of her work is garbage. What do they want from Lindsay, medical bills. There are none. Pain and suffering? You need medical bills for that on the People's Court. A little punch in the face isn't going to get you the movie star's bank account.
She isn't much of a feminist attorney. She is more of a catty attorney. She is there to support whatever fits her devious schemes instead of looking out for women like she says.
If you talk smack, expect a smack down. Those are the street rules. You can't switch up and make it into some racial bias incident because your delicateness was offended by a name calling incident.
Gypsy's could claim to be offended for her resenting being called a Gypsy. If she isn't even a Gypsy, what does she care????
Gypsy is a cool thing. They used to sell Gypsy peasant blouses at the department stores. How can that threaten you to be called a Gypsy?
If you taunt a wounded animal with a stick and it bites you, are you going to say the animal should be punished? Words can be inciting also.
Is anyone more hated than Gloria Allred, she'd make a great heel wrestling manager, people would pay hoping to see her get her _ss kicked....
Allred is totally self-serving. If she decides not to take the case, for example, she won't just not take it, she'll turn around and trash this woman publicly.
Would Lindsay Lohan try to sue this woman if she'd been the one to land a punch on Lindsay's face? Oh hell yes.
I really don't care if she gets money or not. I just enjoy seeing Lohah getting piled on this week. The icing on the cake would be a jail sentence.
Well Blohan punched the wrong fame whore this time. LOLs
Gloria Allred is an ambulance chaser..and an embarrassment to other attorneys
Gloria is giving everyone that talks smack about her black checks. Hi Gloria you fame Ho.
Good ol' Gloria ... leaving no ambulance un-chased!
Maddy, or anyone else, CRACKTAIL time??
I have more mugs.

The banged up Nashville Predators did little to scare the Detroit Red Wings in a 5-2 loss at Joe Louis Arena on Saturday night.
It was business as usual for the Red Wings as they got two goals from Pavel Datsyuk, while Brad Stuart, Patrick Eaves and Tomas Holmstrom also chipped in with a goal. Nicklas Lidstrom and Ruslan Salei each had two assists on the night.
The Predators received goals from Joel Ward and Kevin Klein who were the only two players that had pluses in the plus/minus category for the evening.
It was a brutal effort for the Preds who were playing without key players and playing with a few more that were not at full speed. In addition to Ryan Suter, Marcel Goc and Matthew Lombardi — who have been out for a while — both Fancis Boullion and Jordin Tootoo did not dress against the Wings. Klein and Marty Erat have been banged up, but played in Saturday's contest
The Preds played with five defensemen, with all logging more than 20 minutes of ice time. Wade Belak dressed as the sixth D-man but did not skate. The Preds were unable to recall anyone from Milwaukee when the issues arose because the team is in Abbotsford and travel would not allow a recall.
Linus Klasen played his first NHL game and saw little relevant action. He played eight shits logging 6:22 in ice time. He did play one shift on the power play and was a -1 as he was on the ice for the Eaves goal, late in the game.
Pekka Rinne did not have his best night in goal which was compounded by repeated defensive breakdowns around the net. He gave up five goals on 28 shots. On the other end of the ice, Chris Osgood won his 398 career game stopping 23 of 25 Predator shots. The game was somewhat unusual in that the Wings only had 28 shots on the Preds which is much lower than the historical average.
The Predators went 0-for-5 on the man advantage and gave up a goal on five penalty kills.
After leading the league in points earlier in the week, the injuries appear to be taking their toll on the Preds. With three days between games and only one game before nest weekend's back to backs in Los Angeles, it is hopeful that the team will regroup and give a better showing in the days to come. The Predators returned to Nashville after the game and will begin to prepare for a west coast swing, which begins Wednesday night in Phoenix.

Baldwinsville It may be too cold to start your Spring planting, but that doesn't prevent you from designing your hanging baskets or container gardens now. Spring Plant FunShops begin at Oliver Paine Greenhouses on March 24. These FunShops (a workshop without the work) will teach you how to design beautiful hanging baskets and container gardens. Oliver Paine Greenhouses will even care for your hanging basket and container garden until it's safe for them to go outside.
Everything you need for your FunShop creation is included: the plants, soil, fertilizer and the Oliver Paine secrets of success. FunShops are held on Saturday mornings or Wednesday evenings. They generally are 1 to 1.5 hours, and require registration (visit oliverpainegreenhouses.com or call 592-2773).
The first set of FunShops will include Hanging Basket Design. This FunShop will be offered at 10 a.m. Saturday, March 24, and at 6:30 p.m. Wednesday, March 28. Whether your taste is old fashioned and cottage-like or modern and sleek, you'll be able to create the look you want for your space.
The second set of FunShops will include Container Garden Design. This FunShop will be offered at 10 a.m. Saturday March 31, or at 6:30 p.m. Wednesday, April 25. You'll have the ability to choose the flowers you like, and be guided by the design advice to select flowers that will look best together and will thrive, based on the amount of sun/shade they'll receive. Every container has its own unique style.
FunShops will continue throughout April, May and June at Oliver Paine Greenhouses, and include Terrariums, Hypertufa Containers, Bubbling Beauty Water Feature and Veggie Gardens. For more information and to register for a FunShop, visit oliverpainegreenhouses.com or call 592-2773.

Most people expect long lines when they go to the post office. But the U.S. Postal Service is making changes.
Postal employees are using technology to cut down wait times, and customers are welcoming the change. The Postal Service is helping customers skip the line.
This week, Mobile Point of Sale devices were introduced at six locations across the state.
"It's fast. In fact, I was amazed at how fast it is. I had a customer yesterday who I sold greeting cards. And you can choose if you want a printed receipt or an e-mail receipt. And he got the e-mail receipt in seconds," says Della Nelson of the Bismarck post office.
Postal employees can complete many transactions from the palm of their hand using an iPod. One customer says it makes a visit to the post office go much quicker.
"I was very surprised. I came deliberately in the afternoon, because there is always such a line. So, I thought, 'Well, it can't be too bad!' And I walked in and thought, 'Eh!' But, when she came up to me, I felt kind of guilty at first. But hey, if it gets me out of line and out of here, it works!" says customer Daphne Ghorbani.
The mPOS can handle many transactions.
"If you're using the flat rate priority boxes or envelopes, any packaging supplies that you want to purchase, I can scan those for you. If you have a pre-paid acceptance label, I can scan that so it shows that it was dropped off at the post office. And if you're picking up something that you need to sign for, I can do that as well," says Nelson.
Nelson says the mPOS could be a huge benefit in growing communities, because it allows an extra clerk to help customers, even if the window stations are full.
Post offices using the mPOS include Bismarck, Dickinson, Minot and Williston.

JACKSON, MS (WLBT) - For the first time Cinco de Mayo festivities were held in downtown Jackson Wednesday.
The fiesta started at 5:30 PM at Club Dreamz on Capitol Street.
Blues great Jesse Robinson was just one of the live performances that entertained the crowd. Earlier in the day, AD-J Reign kept the music flowing.
The event was sponsored by the Jackson Progressives, the Jackson Free Press and Jackson Downtown Partners.
Hundreds ventured to the downtown establishment to take part in the Cinco de Mayo celebration and to embrace Latino and Hispanic cultures.
Organizers hoped it will be one of many events that steer more people to the downtown area.
"It's a great opportunity to share with the community and to celebrate the freedom of all people, particularly our Hispanics. It's just a great opportunity to share and join together and celebrate the freedoms," said organizer Jerry Lewis.
"We want it to be something that grows and blossoms each year and go into it's fifth, sixth and 20th years. This event tonight is going to be for Latino folks, black folks, white folks, young and old," said event organizer Brad "Kamikaze" Franklin of the Jackson Progressives.
Organizers said the event was an chance for the Capital City to celebrate its diversity.
