Every year on September 9th, International FASD Awareness Day is observed. Proclamations are issued in countries, states, provinces, and towns all around the world. Bells are rung at 9:09 a.m. in every time zone from New Zealand to Alaska. People all around the world gather for events to raise awareness about the dangers of drinking during pregnancy and the plight of individuals and families who struggle with Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders (FASD). The first FASDay was celebrated on 9/9/99. This day was chosen so that on the ninth day of the ninth month of the year, the world will remember that during the nine months of pregnancy a woman should abstain from alcohol. Anytime is a good time to raise awareness about Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders (FASD).
New Ideas !
If you are like most other FASD Awareness Day activists, you don't have much time or energy. But have no fear - we have done the groundwork for you. Here are three things you can do now. It's really not that hard. Give it a try. Nothing to lose, right? If you think you are busy, look at how busy this Mom is. Three kids, two with special needs. If she can do it, you can do it too, can't you? Here are three easy steps to get started:
(1) Pick a Partner! You don't
have to do this alone. Grab your phone and call someone in your area. In the
(2) Pick a Reporter! Next time you read the local newspaper, pay attention to which reporters write about personal interest stories. Choose a reporter who seems to be sensitive to special family or children's issues, who will do a respectful interview with a family or spokesperson. This spokesperson doesn't have to be you, but it could be! We'll walk you through it - piece of cake. Write down the name of the reporter and find out the phone number and address of the newspaper. Later you are going to ask for an appointment and give them a press release. Here is another example of a good press release. Would you like to conduct a 5-minute radio interview on your favorite radio station? Here is an interview script for you and a radio person or you can just read this one-person script. Before contacting the media, it might be helpful to go over these suggestions from FASDAY veterans, Teresa Kellerman and Brian Philcox.
(3) Pick a Project! Are you bookmarking everything? Keeping notes on file in your computer? Good! Set up a meeting (in person, by email, or on the phone) with the other contacts in your area. Think about what a difference YOUR part will make in preventing future cases of FASD or helping children and adults already affected! Don't forget to include at least one parent, one service provider (teacher, doctor, judge), and one government leader (legislator, head of local department of mental health or developmental disabilities or corrections). This will help you to bridge the information gap in your community! Now pick one (or more) of the following events to turn into a news story:
know, you don't have to wait until September 9th to do this, because any
day can be FASD Awareness Day!

Seeking Meaning in Tea Parties
Prof. Benjamin Carp of Tufts is at work on a thorough new study of the Boston Tea Party. He's been mulling over the connections and disconnects between that 1773 crowd action and the recent political protests that invoke it. It's been interesting to watch his considerations evolve.
On 10 April he wrote on the Publick Occurrences blog:
I think the easiest thing to do would be to start picking out all the bad historical analogies and use it as an excuse to guffaw at the "Tea Party" movement that's scheduled to demonstrate on April 15, 2009 (tax filing day). But I'm not going to do that–instead I'm going to try and be even-handed about this, and see if there's anything to this grassroots conservative invocation of the Boston Tea Party.I believe Santelli's displeasure actually focused on a single aspect of the Obama administration's economic policy—the plan to keep people from losing their homes when they can pay only part of their mortgage bills. I doubt he would have gotten much support from his audience of Chicago commodities traders if he'd widened his criticism to, say, the vastly more expensive financial-industry bailouts. (Which is not to say that others didn't protest those bailouts, at the "tea party" events and elsewhere.)
Unfortunately, the ideology behind all of this seems rather vague. . . . There's not much there: the protesters are in favor of "basic free-market principles" and "freedom." (Well, me too!) The site doesn't say how the government is ignoring the Constitution, exactly–and if you dig a little further, it all goes back to Rick Santelli's displeasure with the stimulus plan and the budget.
Ben shared further thoughts on 19 April in the Washington Post after observing one protest in New York:
Although I study early American history, I wasn't trying to check the protesters' creative interpretations against my footnotes. Instead, I tried to appreciate the bizarre nature of a day that began for me with work on a chapter on tea boycotts for my new book and ended with a modern crowd's interpretation of the historical period I study. It was a great reminder that the original Tea Party had made this civilized re-enactment possible and, ultimately, anti-climactic by comparison. . . .That editorial also had the most to say about historical parallels—and historical perpendiculars—between the issues of 1773 and today. Back then, Parliament deemed the East India Company too big to fail, for instance. But the fundamental disconnect is that today we have a representative government with wide public support. "Taxation without representation" is no longer a national issue. In addition, the current economic crisis affects far more than a single well-connected company.
In Boston in 1773, the men who boarded the tea ships had to conceal their identity or risk punishment—perhaps even being hanged for treason. Last week, the merry protesters chatted with journalists about their complaints, then folded up their "Welcome to the Second American Revolution" signs and went home. The original Tea Party had helped make free speech possible, but these modern protests didn't seem likely to change the world just yet.
Most recently, on 23 April, Ben wrote at the Oxford University Press blog:
it's true that many (though not all) of the conservative protesters were invoking the "tea party" mostly as empty symbolism and not as an explicit historical parallel. But such unthinking (not to say cheap) symbolism can be potentially dangerous. After all, the actual perpetrators of the Boston Tea Party destroyed over £9000 worth of goods (the equivalent of between $1 and $2 million dollars in today's money), and this was after weeks of threatening the British tea agents at their homes and places of business.I think American extremists are no different from any other American political group in seeking to link their causes and methods to the nation's founders. But the shift to a republic produced a fundamental disconnect between the Revolutionaries and the dissatisfied voters of later generations. After 1776, American white men with property could no longer complain they had no say in their government. Well, they could still complain, and some do, but those complaints hold less water than a teacup.
Perhaps we might agree today that the colonists were forced to resort to violence and destruction because they suffered under a "tyrannical" empire that ignored their arguments—but in a representative government, we have other alternatives. Despite the signs calling for "tarring and feathering," in New York City, the strong police presence probably discouraged any real thoughts of violence. But will those protesters who were calling for "rebellion" be content with civil disobedience in the future? . . .
Certainly the tea party protests weren't primarily populated by hate groups or domestic terrorists—but we still might want to be wary of "heritage" groups who take their revolutionary rhetoric too far. There were plenty of angry left-wing groups when the left was out of power, and now there are plenty of angry right-wing groups now that the right finds itself out in the cold. The vast majority of this anger will never be channeled into violence; but when protesters begin using "tea party" talk, we have to hope they're not taking the analogy to an extreme.

Serious science
Ted Scambos talks about disintegrating ice shelves, climate change and returning to Antarctica
Posted August 22, 2008
Ted Scambos is the lead scientist at Boulder, Colo.-based National Snow and Ice Data Center , which supports research into the frozen places of the world, from Antarctic glaciers to the dwindling sea ice cover over the Arctic. A veteran glaciologist who has made nine trips to Antarctica, Scambos specializes in remote sensing, using satellites to study ice dynamics and processes, particularly how climate change affects the cryosphere.
The Antarctic Sun sat down with Scambos at his office on the east campus of the University of Colorado-Boulder (CU-Boulder) in July to talk about climate change, ice shelves and his upcoming projects in the Antarctic.
Q: What got you involved in science, particularly polar research?
"I've always been interested in science," Scambos said. He ticked off a number of heady disciplines that caught his interest at an early age, when scientific inquiry for most of us might include zapping ants with heat using a magnifying glass. In first grade, he wanted to study astronomy. By high school, interest had turned to chemistry. Planetary science — the astronaut dream of many young boys — also stirred his imagination.
After getting his master's degree in geology, Scambos said he needed a break from academia. He worked for five years in the lucrative oil industry, at Philips Petroleum. "Did I like it? Was that what I wanted to do? It wasn't," he said. "Even though it was like falling off an economic cliff, I went back to grad school."
He got his PhD in geochemistry from CU-Boulder, eventually landing a job as a remote sensing specialist with another well-known glaciologist and polar veteran, Robert Bindschadler at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center .
"Even though I kind of still looked at planetary science jobs, things went so well and they were so exciting and there's so many big issues to solve in terms of polar science and climate change, it just took over. Looking back, it really played out perfectly for me, because what I really wanted to do all those years thinking about astronomy and planetary science was go to the moon or go to Mars or be in space.
"That's something a tiny fraction of people involved in the field get to do, but in glaciology and Antarctic science, it's much easier to go there and be a part of it and have experience of being out there in an extreme part of the world and trying to measure and understand it.
"That's really the thing I like the best about what I do: It's outdoors but it's serious science, so you have the challenge of trying to live and work in the deep field, and the challenge of trying to bring the instrumentation down there and make it work and answer a question and find out something. That's great. I love the field for that. I sit here at the computer and look at a lot of satellite images, but it's essential that every once in a while we get out and actually see it with our own eyes and instruments."
Q: You're involved with the International Polar Year project with the Norwegians that will travel on tracked vehicles from South Pole to the Norway research facility, Troll Station, this coming season. The Norwegian-U.S. Scientific Traverse of East Antarctica is looking at how ice mass is changing due to climate change — whether ice loss at the edges of continent is being offset by more precipitation in its interior. How does this compare to your previous fieldwork?
"I'm committed to one of the longest field seasons that I've ever had. I've been there nine times to Antarctica, [but] I've never been to the South Pole or a traverse like this before. It's a big commitment of time at this point. … I'm actually just going to enjoy it the whole way. I'm just going to have fun. It's actually kind of liberating to not be the team leader and just be somebody who is helping as much as you can."
Q: You reported the start of the Wilkins Ice Shelf disintegration in March 2008 of this year. Since then, the shelf has continued to deteriorate, even in winter. How unusual is the breakup, and what is its significance?
"It's definitely been instructive to see what's happened with the Wilkins … What's happening now looks to be related to basal melt. Warm water from the ocean is actually somehow mixing up in the upper layer that usually caps it called the halocline. There's fresh, cold water that surrounds the Antarctic. Sea ice floats in that. Snowfall plus sea ice melt keeps that layer fresh and light. Underneath it is saltier water, but it's much warmer.
"That is typically 200 to 300 meters down below the surface in the Wilkins, so it touches the underside of the Wilkins ice plate but it doesn't usually get up to the near surface. Now we're seeing that in the last 10 or 15 [synthetic aperture radar] images it looks as though thin areas in the ice plate, even though it's winter, are just sort of disappearing, thinning to the point of melting away and disaggregating the ice shelf.
"I'm going to stand by with what happened in the summer has to do with surface melting. The lesson is that there's more than one way to lose an ice shelf. People have talked about basal thinning. There hasn't been as end-to-end a model for how basal thinning really does the job on the ice shelf, but I think that's emerging.
"By thinning the ice shelf and keeping the inflow constant you change the stresses that you're asking the ice shelf to bear, the thinner plate of ice to bear, and it begins to fracture as a result of that. Those fractures lead to icebergs drifting away."
[See related story: Last thread]
Q: You recently received funding through the Cooperative Institute for Research in Environmental Sciences with Robert Massom of the Australian Antarctic Division and Antarctic Climate and Ecosystems Cooperative Research Centre to study ice shelf breakup. In particular, you're looking more closely at the role of sea ice, or rather the lack of sea ice, plays in ice shelf collapse. Would you explain your hypothesis?
"Summer after summer, you have warming in the Antarctic Peninsula, and melt on the surface of ice shelves year after year, and then all of a sudden one year they go through this runaway disintegration. What triggers that? It's like having dominoes all stacked up, but then you need something to tap the first domino and they all start falling apart. That's the scenario I'm working on now.
"We're going to try and take a look at sea ice extent in front of these ice shelves during these breakup events, during these retreat events. The thought is that ocean waves, especially long-period ocean waves, are getting in and breaking off the first front iceberg of the ice shelf and then that leads to a runaway situation because of this water perched on top of that shelf that wants to get into any crack that forms."
Scambos explained that waves created from distant, powerful storms can travel thousands of kilometers. "These aren't surfing waves," he explained, but waves with barely discernible crests, or amplitude, but extremely long periods, or troughs, between the crests. Imagine a brick floating in a bathtub, he said, and then drop a pebble in the water. The pebble has no influence; the waves merely bounce off the brick. But slam your hand in the water and the subsequent waves causes the brick to move.
"The wave doesn't bounce as much as it interacts with the brick. That's what it takes. You need a wave the size of the [ice] shelf to actually flex the shelf.

Adrienne Strachn of Polk Township treated those in her community like an extension of her own family, say those who knew her. Whether it was a homeless person on the street who needed a warm smile and kind word, a child who needed solace or a friend who just needed someone to talk to, Strachn, 53, was always there, no matter what time of day or night, according to family and friends.
Adrienne Strachn of Polk Township treated those in her community like an extension of her own family, say those who knew her.
Whether it was a homeless person on the street who needed a warm smile and kind word, a child who needed solace or a friend who just needed someone to talk to, Strachn, 53, was always there, no matter what time of day or night, according to family and friends.
"She never had a harsh word to say about anyone," friend Lucy Prawl of Kunkletown said about Strachn, who if allowed to would spend hours talking to someone she ran into while out shopping or tending to other business.
Sharing laughter and tears during a Saturday gathering at her mother's McMichaels home, loved ones said Strachn had room in her heart for many, but her husband and six children, ages 18 to 27, came first and foremost.
They said she was such a loving mother that she insisted on having her mentally ill son, Christopher, 21, live at home rather than in an institution.
Early Wednesday morning, Christopher Strachn called 911 and said he had choked his mother in their Creek Drive home in Pleasant Valley Estates and that he believed she was dead. Police arrived and found Adrienne Strachn dead on the kitchen floor with blood under her body and a broken knife nearby.
Police said Christopher Strachn admitted to choking and then stabbing his mother and having thought about killing her and other family members for some time. He is now charged with murder.
He and his mother were home alone at the time of the murder.
Christopher, who reported hearing voices when he was younger, has schizophrenic symptoms, but was misdiagnosed as having depression, said his mother's friend, Valerie Roseburgh of Effort.
"We've always known Christopher has issues, but no one saw anything like this coming," said Adrienne Strachn's younger brother, Aaron Clark, who lives with their mother.
Roseburgh, who works with the mentally ill and was involved for a time in Christopher's therapy, said she was against him being allowed to live at home. He was supposed to be taking medication, but it's unknown if he had taken it on the morning of the murder, Roseburgh said.
"We know, and it's important for others to know, that Christopher loved his mother and would do anything for her," she said. "Unfortuntaely, he's a sick young man, and what happened is a tragedy for him, his family and the rest of us."
What's even worse is something unexpected like this happening to a decent, hard-working family with no criminal history, Clark said.
"It's a nightmare," he said.
But the family wants Adrienne Strachn remembered not as just another murder victim, but as someone who always tried to share the love she had grown up with.
Born one of two children to a church music minister and hospital nurse, Strachn was raised in Brooklyn, N.Y., where she and her family were active in Berean Baptist Church.
"I can count on one hand the number of times we disagreed in life," Clark said. "That's how well we got along."
Roseburgh, whose son was Strachn's godson and who is godmother to Strachn's children, met her when both were age 8.
"I have no siblings, and her brother was born 16 years after she was, so it was like we were both only children for a time, and we grew close," she said.
Marcia Byam, Strachn's classmate at Tilden High School in Brooklyn, said, "Adrienne always had a great laugh and was good at making friends."
After graduating high school and then college, Strachn met her husband, Thomas, a Harlem, N.Y., native who's now an Otisville corrections officer, at a Manhattan nightclub in January 1982. The two got engaged that April and married a year later.
The couple worked hard while keeping their six children, now all employed or in college, on the straight and narrow, sharing love and laughter along the way. The family moved in 2000 from Brooklyn to the Poconos for a safer, more quiet lifestyle.
Here, Adrienne Strachn was founder and president of the local chapter of Ladies of Umoja (Swahili word for "unity") Empowerment Organization, a women's network supporting various community causes, and joined Shiloh Baptist Church in Easton.
She held parties at her house for other children as well as her own to help keep them out of trouble, at one point even helping a neighbor's son who'd been attacked in a domestic situation.
"My mom was their mom," said her oldest child, Danielle Strachn. "They felt they could talk to her about anything."
And now, that's been taken away.
"I'm feeling anger and sadness right now," said Thomas Strachn, who was at work when police contacted him and said his son had murdered his wife. "I'm just really hurt. I still can't believe she's gone."
Adrienne Strachn's mother, Alberta Clark, said, "I was truly blessed to have her as a daughter. We were all blessed to know Adrienne."
Beatrice Cyrus, a friend, said, "Adrienne was the fabric that held us all together."
A viewing will be 9 a.m. Saturday, June 23, followed by a 10 a.m. service, at Berean Baptist Church, Bergen Street and Rochester Avenue, Brooklyn, N.Y. A repast will follow at Berean Gardens on St. Marks Avenue, between Howard and Saratoga avenues, Brooklyn.
Burial will be Monday, June 25 (time to be announced), at Propsect Cemetery, 501 Prospect St., Stroudsburg.

Silverstone Kublai KL04W (SST-KL04B-W) Performance Mid tower
Computer PC Case with Side Window Panel - BLACK
When the first Kublai series chassis was introduced in 2007, it had
innovative storage design that was ahead of its time. For the Kublai
KL04, SilverStone engineers again looked to raise the bar with a
design that can accommodate four 5.25 drive bays, nine 3.5 hard
drives, and up to six 2.5 SSDs. This astonishing amount of storage
capacity for a mid-tower chassis is unprecedented and comes with no
compromise to compatibility. Expansion cards or graphics cards up to
17 inches long can be installed without the need to remove hard drive
cage and even with all hard drive bays filled, cards up to 12.8 inches
can still be used. To cope with densely packed hard drive bays,
repeated thermal tests and revisions were made to come up with an
airflow layout that is capable of handling all hard drives installed
without negatively affecting the rest of the system. The right front
positioning of the intake fans also helps to divert noise from leaking
out directly to the front of the chassis. For 2.5 SSD or HDD
mountings, the KL04 has specially designed cages that can be mounted
in two locations depending on user needs. If you are looking for a
chassis with server-like room for expansion but only limited footprint
for a mid-tower, the KL04 is the choice.
*1 If bottom fan or 2.5 SSD is installed, the maximum
depth for PSU is 180mm (or 160mm with extra cabling room), otherwise there
are no depth limitations.
*2 If hard drive is installed in front of the cards, the length
limitation is 12.8 inches.

The last time I played D&D was about 10 years ago. Now I've decided to show it to my university friends, who have never played it before but are pretty excited. For that first game, nobody would go deep into learning the game's rules and all the details. So I was thinking of throwing a little demo-game by some fun traditional module I found.
What I need now is four to six ready-to-use character sheets of different races and classes, with all defined stats, skills, etc. so I can give it to them and explain the logic of the game step by step.

Denver's eligible singles? 5280's list will be out on Friday; here's a preview
The February issue of 5280 magazine will be mailed to subscribers on Friday (non-subscribers can find it on newsstands Monday) and you can bet that one of the most popular stories in it will be the one that profiles 17 of Denver's "most eligible" young professionals — the ones who'll also be introduced at Single in the City, a Feb. 15 fundraiser for Volunteers of America.
Well, guess what? We can name names today.
Maybe not all 17, but four of the sizzing singles are:
Tasha Jones, 38, director of marketing for Forest City Stapleton; Steward Ceus, 25, goalkeeper for the Colorado Rapids; Andrew Freedman, 29, chief of staff for Lt. Gov. Joe Garcia; and Joanna Powell, 24, pastry chef at Cafe Aion.
The magazine will hit newsstands on Monday, but if you can't wait to learn more about the party itself, there's more about it online.
Single in the City begins at 7 p.m. at EXDO Event Center, according to co-chairs Zach Wolfel and Jennifer Daurio. Tickets are $35 advance for general admission; $45 at the door and $125 advance for a VIP admittance that includes hosted bar, catered appetizers and a dedicated lounge.
All guests will enjoy red-carpet photos, music spun by two DJs, an appearance by the men and women featured on the 2013 Colorado Firefighter Calendar, dating games and the antics of emcee Chris Parente from KDVR/KWGN-TV.
The tickets can be purchased at several area businesses, including Luxe Salon, Moda, Belmar shopping center, Simply Moore and the Garment District.
There is also an opportunity to win tickets by visiting the Single in the City Facebook page between Jan. 28 and Feb. 1.
Proceeds from the event go to the Volunteers of America Brandon Center, an 118-bed emergency shelter in the Denver metro area. It has 90 beds for women and children, 27 for female veterans and 1 emergency bed. Residents may stay for 30–90 days while they undergo case management, employment assistance, GED training and domestic violence classes.

the officers
As a graduate student in Military History, with a focus on the American Civil War, I need to get my head around all the players. I'm introduced to hundreds of individuals via my reading and find the blog a great way to keep track. I need a database! Yes I've seen other sites with bibliographies but better to do it myself for learning purposes. Note that I'll be filling in names as I encounter them (admittedly I have some catching up to do) but will fill in the details as I have time to do so. Insight welcomed.

Moor, Augustus
Rank: Colonel, USA
Short facts:
The Federal column approaching Frederick was nothing less than the vanguard of Burnside's Ninth Corps, the Kanawha Division under Brig. Gen. Jacob Cox, composed of six regiments of infantry and two batteries of artillery. The 6th New York Cavalry, which had been the eyes of the right wing, had been sent off earlier in the day to counter the move of Fitz Lee's brigade to the north, and Cox found himself leading with his infantry. After crossing the Monocacy, he had formed Moor's brigade in advance—stretching on both sides of the National road—supported by Scammon's brigade. In the very front was Col. Augustus Moor, accompanied by a single cannon and a personal escort, a troop of Chicago Dragoons. In a moment of excess ardor, Moor dashed ahead of his infantry supports and entered the town. Seeing an opportunity too good to resist, Hampton's rear guard charged down the street in a furious attack that even the jaundiced Dr. Steiner admitted was "in grand style." The Federals, having just rounded a sharp bend, were taken completely by surprise. In a swirl of dust, horses thudded into one another, saddles were emptied, and the cannon discharged accidentally as it overturned. The Confederates captured ten prisoners, including Colonel Moor, but they could not bring off the gun as five of its horses were dead in their traces. At the sound of the commotion, Cox rushed forward at the double-quick with the 11th Ohio, only to find Hampton's men escaping through the western end of the town. By 4:30 Frederick was in the hands of the Federals.1

Challenge: I Don't Like the Idea of People Telling Me What to Do
This week's challenge comes from "After 13 Years, I'm Leaving Christianity": Now at 26, I don't go to church anymore. Because I don't like the idea of people telling me what I should do, and how I should be doing them. I think many millennials feel the same way.

Simple Lifeforms brauchte ein neues Logo Design und hat einen Wettbewerb auf 99designs gestartet.
Aus 444 Designs von 114 Designern wurde eine Gewinner gewählt.
We are working on a web and social-network based game called Spell Souls. We need a distinctive logo that can work at any size and which seems magical without being stereotypical fantasy.
The game uses orbs, arena and towers. It's a social game so maybe you could use a stylized character representing a person's friend or soul creature or a nice orb graphic. Another direction could be to use some sort of magical lightning effect or threads of magical energy. Symbols to use would be zodiac signs and the elemental powers of earth, air, fire and water.
Spell Souls
Spell Souls is a game of magical battles, set against a backdrop of a changing modern world. It is intended to be a less-than-serious modern fantasy game in which players will compete to be the most powerful mage in the world. The game will have a visually vector-art kind of theme, a mix of the slightly cute and slightly scary. Players will use spells, magic items and other secrets to battle with each other, with each having a mix of comedy and horror.
The game is essentially epic in scale but occasionally funny. Some spells that players can use, for example have terrible names like Creeping Doom or The Dark Angel, whereas others are more light-hearted, like "Hanna's Herds" or "The Sylvan Pox".
Spell Souls is aimed at an adult game-playing audience that may have some slight familiarity with games on Facebook or the web already, and so it seeks to charm and entice them in equal measure.
Spell Souls is browser-based, and so you would interact with it much the same vein as a web site. We have developed a functional spec for the game and some designs internally but we are looking for some different perspectives on how the game might look visually.
- We are looking for a great logo design. The logo needs to be evocative and magical, but the kind of magical that we are looking for is more modern, funny and scary and than a Dungeons and Dragons style of fantasy game.
- The main constraint on the logo is that it must work both in small and large presentations. No overly noisy or too finely detailed desigsn please.
- The background colour of the logo is very likely to form the background colour of the main design. It is important to avoid white as a background colour. Any other colour, light or dark, will do just fine, but not white. The reason is that Facebook and other social networks in which the game will eventually appear have white default backgrounds. Users get confused about where applications start and Facebook ends if they share the same background colour.
- Also avoid basing the logo colour on Facebook's signature blue, for much the same reason.

Moshe Katsav (Hebrew: משה קצב, born Musa Qasab, December 5, 1945) is a former Israeli politician. He served as the eighth President of Israel, a leading Likud member of the Israeli Knesset, and a Cabinet Minister in its government.
The end of his presidency was marked by controversy, stemming from allegations of rape of one female subordinate and sexual harassment of others. Katsav resigned the presidency on 1 July 2007. In a landmark and unprecedented case, on 30 December 2010, Katsav was convicted of two counts of rape, obstruction of justice and other charges. On 22 March 2011, Katsav was handed a seven-year sentence by an Israeli court for rape and other sexual offences, in what became a landmark ruling.
Katsav was born in Yazd, Iran as Musa Qasab. His family brought him to Tehran when he was an infant; in June 1951, when he was five, they emigrated to Israel. He remains fluent in Persian.

Last weekend we hosted a birthday dinner for Mike's Mom, Joy. It was on Friday night and we had a packed day starting with Emma's ballet class in the morning, Disney on Ice (with Mimi for her birthday) in the afternoon, then straight to our house for the dinner.
Because we were all heading here together around 5pm after Disney on Ice, when we left the house on Friday morning the house had to be ready to go for a party and everything had to be ready to go for dinner. Knowing this, I planned the entire menu around ease and the ability to be made ahead.
We had 8 adults for dinner + two preschool aged girls, so we also had to make sure we had a menu that would suit everyone... and be easy to execute while toddlers and grandparents were running around.
The menu details are below.
I set the table on Thursday afternoon to get that checked off my list (and is also when I took these photos). I used Lexington Wheat Tapers in my pewter candle holders. I just love the soft, buttery color with the bright blue of the muscari. This color of candle is a staple in our house.
The adults sat at this table, and the girls had their own small table.
I have found when entertaining with kids/toddlers, the evening works best when we feed them just before we sit down, then let them watch a show or do an activity while the adults enjoy dinner. I know that some might not think that is ideal, but that strategy has worked for us and allows everyone to relax a little and enjoy ourselves. It can almost seem like a magical moment for us parents, actually getting to sit down and have a real conversation over dinner (especially when we have friends over with kids and the parents rarely every get to actually sit and relax - ever!).
I don't love the TV, but I love the TV for 30 minutes while we sit down and enjoy our company. We pick our battles around here... and every once in a while Mom and Dad get to win : )
Just trying to keep it real, in case you thought we were perfect. With all of the "perfection" (ick, hate that word!) that happens on social media, I always find it refreshing to let people know that it is ok to be normal!
I love how the muscari look in these Blue & White (Elizabeth) planters, 2 for $18. It is almost a week after the party and they are still on my table looking great.
I also made a purple hyacinth and muscari planter in one of the larger Brown & White Square planters... also still going strong day!
Make Ahead Dinner Menu
Roasted Asparagus with Parmesean
Birthday Strawberry Layer Cake
I don't like to take photos when we are entertaining, so these are photos from the recipe posts I've made in the past.
Prosciutto & Fresh Mozzarella Toasts
This is one of my favorite appetizers... but not really make ahead. They were delicious, but did add a little bit of work when we got home. Next time when we are trying to make it easy, I will probably make a baked dip instead, but this is so delicious if you have the time!
So good!
Baked Shrimp Scampi
Oh my gosh. This is so good. So full of flavor.
In the morning, I put the shrimp in the baking dish and made the butter mixture. Just before I put it in the oven, I added the panko crumbs to the butter and crumbled it over the top. It bakes for about 20 minutes and is so, so good.
Penne Pasta with Cherry Tomatoes & Spinach
(this recipe link includes adding grilled chicken, but for this dinner I didn't)
I wanted something light and fresh to go with the shrimp, so I thought this pasta would be perfect. I made the sauce, sliced the cherry tomatoes before the party and washed the spinach. On the night of, I cooked the pasta, reheated the sauce for a couple of minutes (while the pasta was cooking) and then added the tomatoes, pasta and spinach to the sauce.
Roasted Asparagus with Parmesean
I really wanted to make a Lemon Layer Cake with Blackberries, but Emma saw this cake in the Barefoot Contessa Parties book (that we were browsing for ideas) and got her heart set on it for her Mimi. So, I made 2 round white cakes, whipped cream and let the two girls build the cake... just like this one. They spread the whipped cream and piled the berries, then topped it with a lot of sprinkles and Gold Celebration Candles. It was quite the site and the perfect birthday cake for Mimi : )

At least 77% of traffic crashes are the result of driver error.
- Motor vehicle crashes are the #1 cause of death for 16-24 year olds at 48.5%.
- Nationwide, 43% of first-year drivers and 37% of second-year drivers are involved in car crashes.
- Advanced driver training has reduced that rate to 4.6% of first-year drivers, as determined in a four-year study.

- Get Advanced Driver Training for all ages
- Smart driving position: hands at 9 and 3 o'clock
- Speed appropriate to laws and conditions
- Follow the 3-second rule (Watch Video)
- Look as far ahead as possible
- Know ABS (anti-lock braking system) operation
- Drive a safe, well maintained car
- Drive a vehicle with a low center of gravity
- If you are using your wipers, your headlights should be on as well
Be a Healthy driver
- No impairment from alcohol, drugs, or sleep deprivation
Drowsy Driving: www.nhlbi.nih.gov/health/prof/sleep/drsy_drv.pdf
- Don't tailgate
- Keep calm
- Back off from road rage: Learn to let go of anger and move on.
How do you deal with road rage? It is essential to keep calm while driving, and dealing with road rage is no exception.
There are two main components when road rage is in-volved: you and the other driver.
By maintaining a courteous mindset, we can make our roads safer by remaining confident and controlled and ultimately, safe on the road.
Losing control of your emotions behind the wheel can mean losing control of your vehicle.
It is important to learn to 'let go' when another driver becomes angry or angers us. Avoiding eye contact is a good start.
Studies on aggressive driving: AAA's Foundation for Traffic Safety website
What to do when confronted with road rage: www.drivers.com and Prevent Road Rage
Avoid distraction
- Do not use cell phones while driving; pull over, if necessary
Driving distractions are serious and have become an increasingly problematic issue, par-ticularly with the ongoing use of cell phones and blackberries. At the least, a cell phone conversation while driving takes away much of your attention. More serious, and recently with fatal consequences, is text messaging while driving. Texting not only distracts drivers from the mental processes required for driving, but it forces drivers to look away from the road, often for extended periods.
- Music can be helpful to a driver, particularly on long journeys, however, it should be kept in mind that your focus is to be on the road at all times
- Do not allow extraneous distractions such as eating, reading, applying makeup, texting, using a PDA or game console
- Do not allow disruptive passengers to ride with you
In addition, the combination of loud music and chattering passengers can take our focus off the road.
Things happen fast while we're driving, and keeping this in mind can reduce acci-dents and prevent the potential for tragic events that all too often occur due to driving distractions.
Wear a seatbelt
- Ensure that all seatbelts are fastened
- Wear your seatbelt:
It is safer. Seat belts save lives. You are less likely to be injured in a crash and will be better prepared to deal with an emergency situation if you are wearing your seat belt.
If you need to take emergency action while driving, a seat belt can help to keep you better posi-tioned behind the wheel so that you can more effectively maintain control of your vehicle.

Presidential Professor lecture series on art and the mind concludes April 2-3
The University of Nebraska's Visiting Presidential Professor, renowned scholar, curator and author Jonathan Fineberg, will conclude his 2012-13 lecture series on art and the mind April 2 and 3 in Lincoln and Omaha. The lectures – the last in a four-part series – will be delivered at the Sheldon Museum of Art, 12th and R streets in Lincoln, at 5:30 p.m. on April 2; and at KANEKO, 1111 Jones St. in Omaha, at 6:30 p.m. on April 3. The lectures are free and open to the public, and each will be followed by a reception.
Fineberg's lecture series is titled "The Language of the Enigmatic Object: Modern Art at the Border of Mind and Brain." His fourth lecture, "Desire Lines in the Mind," will speculate on the effects of art on the brain and set out an argument for the necessity of art, drawing on neuroscience and experimental psychology as well as the writings of artists to examine how visual thinking changes the brain, enhances creativity, and plays a central role in the creation of new knowledge.
"It has been an honor to have Dr. Jonathan Fineberg serve as the University of Nebraska's Visiting Presidential Professor this year," NU President James B. Milliken said. "His fascinating lecture series, his unique expertise and his innovative engagement with our faculty and students in art, science and medicine have added a tremendous amount of enrichment to our campuses and communities in Nebraska."
Fineberg is the Gutgsell Professor of Art History Emeritus at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and adjunct curator of the Parrish Art Museum in Southampton, N.Y. His work, "Art Since 1940: Strategies of Being, 3rd Edition," is used extensively as a textbook for modern art history classes in universities around the country.
In addition to delivering his lecture series, Fineberg has engaged extensively with the university community during his presidential professorship, which Milliken announced last July. For example, he has participated in class discussions and studio visits with students in the University of Nebraska-Lincoln's Department of Art and Art History; he is also collaborating with a group of faculty from UNL and the University of Nebraska Medical Center who have expertise in neuroscience and the brain. The group is working to investigate associations between intense visual stimuli – such as violent gaming and pornography – and adverse personal and societal outcomes, like aggressive behavior, sexual misconduct, psychiatric disease and substance abuse.
Following his professorship, Fineberg will write his formal lectures as a book.

November 16, 2012 Kevin Davies : If there was a more popular booth at last week's American Society of Human Genetics conference (ASHG) in San Francisco, I didn't see it. For three days, the British company's executive team led by CEO Gordon Sanghera and CTO Cive Brown, along iwth Spike Willcocks (VP Business and Croporate Development), Kristen Stoops (Business Development Director), and a new recruit Adam Lowe (VP Commerical Operations), talked themselves hoarse but deflected all the predictable, tedious questions about launch dates and data release.
Sanghera told me the same thing he told countless others: the company was standing by what it had said when Brown presented preliminary data at the Advances in Genome Biology and Technology (AGBT) conference last February: namely that it would be moving into its commercialization phase by the end of this year. I confess I don't know what that means exactly – it doesn't appear to mean that the GridION and MinION will be available for purchase before the New Year.
It's stretching the definition of 'commercialization' pretty thin, but my best interpretation of Sanghera's assertion was that the company was still on course to move into an important new phase en route to a full commercial launch by the end of the year.
That notion was reinforced when I independently heard during ASHG from one American source that their early access arrangement with Oxford Nanopore was slated to begin in January 2013. That should give those early partners a few weeks to pull some new data together for AGBT in 2013, right?
I saw little point in pressing the chaps for additional information, but Brown did offer a brief tour of the plumbing inside the GridION, which makes good use of field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs), despite their notorious difficulty to program. Meanwhile, an earnest Yaniv Erlich (Whitehead Institute) helpfully tweeted this diagram of a MinION prototype:
The throngs gathered around the Nanopore booth inevitably diverted attention from some other interesting new products on display. Knome was showing off the new knosys100 supercomputer, an imposing piece of hardware that the execs said was drawing considerable interest from core lab directors. Meanwhile, Stan Gloss, CEO of the BioTeam, was unveiling a custom-designed Dell computer to run the firm's affordable miniLIMS software. I was also impressed with Illumina's new app store for BaseSpace, which is already attracting applications from a number of vendors.
One new platform that caught my eye (no pun intended) was the Irys system from BioNano Genomics. Founded by Han Cao, the San Diego company is preparing to ship instruments in the New Year. The Irys platform images DNA molecules over long distances (up to 1 megabase) by linearizing the DNA through a series of nanochannels. The images are stunning and should provide valuable data for de novo genome assemblies, detection of structural variations, and deconvolution of repetitive sequence in heterochromatic regions of the genome.
At $295,000, the Irys is not cheap, but it will be interesting to see if BioNano Genomics can lure customers away from existing technologies such as fiber-FISH or more established competitors such as OpGen.

Spring is right around the corner and it's time for a new beginning. Yes, I know fellow Ontarians, Nature dumped on us this weekend (30 cm or 1 foot of snow here in Toronto). But really, I promise Spring is coming. And it's the perfect time to clean out your closets AND your body with some detoxing and cleansing.
If you're experiencing signs of toxicity and want to start feeling better now, as well as ensure a longer, happier life, then start by helping your body detoxify. You might be surprised to hear that one of the easiest and healthiest ways to do this is simply through food!
Nature has given us plenty of food which helps our detoxification processes (more commonly known as super foods with anti-oxidant powers). Just to name a few (source: Life Peak magazine, Vol. 2, Issue 4):
- Lemons
- Prunes
- Leafy greens
- Naturally fermented sauerkraut (pickled with good bacteria, not vinegar)
- Papaya
The following are a few juice recipes that I used to lose 25 lbs in 3 months during a month long cleanse last year. They are to be juiced but a really good juicer costs mucho moula – and unfortunately, my other expenses take priority right now. So instead, I used my trusty blender. However, the consistency is hard to swallow – think really chunky baby food. So if you can afford it, use a juicer:
|Potassium Juice
3 carrots
|Ginger Root Boost
1 inch slice ginger root
|High Blood Pressure Reducer
2 garlic cloves
|Yummy Green Drink
½ bunch spinach
|Homemade V8 (6 glasses)
6-8 tomatoes
|Cleansing Veggie Broth
I hope you enjoy these green drinks. Now I feel that I should warn you: when you're detoxing, you're going to experience an intensity of negative symptoms, i.e. headaches, moodiness, general aches and pains, etc. This just means that it's working!
If you plan for it, though, you can ride out this detox storm so you can bask in the calm of the aftermath. Expect to feel uncomfortable as your body releases toxins and take it easy. For instance, don't schedule to move on your detox or plan a bunch of social engagements.
Instead, focus on the detox. Plan your meals for the week, what you'll do when you're not eating (like cleaning and organizing those closets) and other means of helping your body detox (like physical activity, saunas or hot baths, etc.). I guarantee, it's worth the effort to be healthy.

Once again another "piece of our history" has come to life. Robert Heyl is my husband's father! Jim joked that his father was always a stickler when it came to spelling in school… now we know why! Thanks again for bringing bits and pieces of our ancestors lives to life.

<![CDATA[The Queen has delivered her yearly legislative speech at the State Opening of Parliament. The speech is the way in which the government sets out their legislative agenda for the coming year.
Pictures today of the State Opening of Parliament via @BritishMonarchy pic.twitter.com/B7VV7setLb
— Royal Central (@RoyalCentral) June 4, 2014
This year's 10 minute speech was full of drama as it was announced that plans would be brought in to support economic growth, legislations to end slavery.
The introduction to the speech featured heavily on the Conservatives and Liberal Democrats supporting the economy's growth and creating a fairer society.
This was the final State Opening of Parliament to happen before the next general election, meaning that economic policies and investment featured heavily on the text. Among the details announced were pension reforms, support for fracking and increasing the UK's housing supply.
The coalition government also intends new legislation against modern slavery. In the speech, The Queen said "a bill will be introduced to strengthen the powers to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking, whilst improving support for victims of such crimes."
For the euro-sceptics, there was some mention of the European Union and that the Government should "promote reform in the European Union, including a stronger role for member states and national parliaments."
Other measures outlined were a new state funded childcare subsidy, a heroism legislation (where people are rewarded for good deeds), and plans to charge 5p for plastic carrier bags in England. Her Majesty ended the speech with "My Lords and Members of the House of Commons. I pray that the blessing of Almighty God may rest upon your counsels"
There was added drama during the speech when a page-boy fainted during the speech; he is now said to be fine. Dennis Skinner, the MP for Bolsover also made his traditional quip announcing "coalitions last stand" when Black Rod summoned the House of Commons to the House of Lords.

There's a virtual consensus at the moment among mainstream music writers in the UK that there are no new ideas in pop, that – to quote a recent review of the new Simon Reynolds book (which I've not read yet, so I'll refrain from commenting on the book itself) "we've lost the art of 'making' music and are now simply rearranging it". In an effort not to appear jaded, the consensus doesn't deny that there is still good music being created, only that it is in any way original. Let's cut the consensus some slack and put to one side the many problems with 'original', save to note that archetypal Year Zero act the Sex Pistols were essentially a hybrid of The Stooges, The Who and Eddie Cochrane given a misanthropic lick of dayglo paint and a singer with a funny voice. Let's cut it some more and agree that the sheer proliferation of acts and genres – if in fact the notion of genre any longer makes sense – over the last ten or 15 years makes it harder for those who'd like to portray the development of pop music as linear to map it out in simple A to B terms, although really this approach has always been less convincing than it might once have appeared… how would you accommodate 2-Tone within the standard 'progress' narrative of post-punk, for example?
Slack duly cut, let's send the consensus off to peer after its slippers. We won't require esoterica from dance culture to dispatch the old bugger, no dubstep, no grime, not even the unit-shifting sci-fi lunacy of a Timbaland or Neptunes. All we need is the mildly left-field strain of twenty-first century 'indie' that I'll tag the Punk Rock Disco, with the (obvious?) proviso that punk rock represents an 'anything goes' state of mind as opposed to a style of music that was briefly exciting over 30 years ago. As I've said, there's such diversity in pop now that it's difficult to unpick any one strand, which is presumably why most writers of my generation have given up. But when the history – and it is, or will be, a history: none of your Fukuyama nonsense here – of the music of the noughties is written, the PRD will figure prominently.
Digitalism's take on the PRD is most manifestly an offshoot of the Daft Punk-Justice axis: to be honest, until embarking on this review I'd assumed them to be Parisian. Widen the circle to include the diverse likes of Crystal Castles, Hot Chip, Simian Mobile Disco, LCD, Ladytron, Metronomy, M83… a little more for the more straightforwardly 'indie' Foals, Klaxons, Bloc Party, Phoenix even (I'm not sure where the incomparable Knife fit into all of this, or into anything else for that matter, but no discussion of contemporary electronic pop is complete without them, so, um, hello, the Knife). One thing all have in common is that their dance influences are ultimately subordinated to The Song. Another is that, if the term means anything at all, this is new music. Developments in technology have always driven forward the introduction of new ideas to pop, and even if it were only because of the sounds they use – and I don't think it is – the music of all of the above could only have been made in the last decade or so.
In Digitalism's case, we can bring this point home by showing what they're not. Except in the sense that everythingin electronic pop can be traced back to Düsseldorf's best-loved cycling export, Digitalism's music has little in common with Kraftwerk or their immediate British descendents (OMD, Soft Cell, Depeche Mode et al.) Neither does it share much DNA with visionary Eighties one-offs like Propaganda or – the odd one-finger guitar solo aside – New Order. It has even less to do with the late Eighties 'indie-dance' that very generously gave the world the likes of Jesus Jones and the Soup Dragons. And neither does it bear much relation to the more individual acts who sprang from and survived the rave phenomenon, yer Orbitals, Underworlds and Prodigies. Because it's new music. It's music from now.
So, um, about that new Digitalism album, then? Oh. Yes. Erm, it's good. I like it a lot. Much better than their first. Where the latter really had just the one 'hit' ('Pogo', obv) this one has at least three: '2 Hearts', 'Circles' and 'Forrest Gump', the last featuring a co-write from somebody called Casablancas who apparently made a good record once. The instrumental tracks, too, have an assurance and sense of purpose that those on the first album mostly lacked. Recommended to admirers of the PRD as sketched above. The slippers contingent – who, tellingly, will be the first to get themselves into a lather about that upcoming Beatles reissue or Pixies tour while bemoaning the alleged lack of new ideas in pop – may continue to huff and puff while studiously looking in the wrong direction with their fingers in their ears.

Pantone announced their color of the year for 2019 this morning. Unfortunately, it's kind of hard one for men to incorporate, I'd say. Living Coral is a 1960's looking, orange/hot pink to me. I work in a design related field where it's a little bit of a tradition to try to incorporate these colors into clothes in small ways.
Here's an article about the color:
I did a quick search on a couple of my go-to sites and didn't see much tasteful stuff in coal. Proper Cloth has one fabric, but I don't really like thin stripes like this: https://propercloth.com/fabrics/vare...ripe-2505.html
Anyone wearing anything in coral?
