Simon Bull was born in Bedfordshire, England. The second of four children. His father, Ian Bull served as an officer in the Royal Army Chaplains Department of the British Army. Ian's extensive military postings stationed the family around the world in Guyana, Hong Kong, Germany, and Northern Ireland. Simon went to boarding school in Yorkshire, attending Ripon Cathedral Choir School from 1965-69 and in Surrey, at the Royal Russell School from 1969-1976. In 1976 he took a one-year Foundation course at Gloucestershire College of Art and Design and went on to graduate in 1980 from Leeds Polytechnic with a BA in Fine Art. He studied printmaking and Fine Art under Norman Webster RE and Norman Ackroyd RA. His time at Leeds was marked by his interest in and study of the masters, such as Henri Fantin-Latour, Jean-Baptiste-Simon Chardin, and Rembrandt; he wrote his dissertation on watercolorist John Sell Cotman. In his graduating year, he exhibited his etching Jackie at the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition and his works were acquired by Leeds City Art Gallery.
His professional career began at the age of eighteen, with his first one man show in Hong Kong in 1976. He has since held exhibitions throughout Great Britain, in Amsterdam, Paris, Bologna Italy, Dubai, Japan, Hong Kong and throughout the USA. He has been represented by some of the largest publishers and art distribution companies in the art world, including in the UK, London Contemporary Art and DeMontfort Fine Art; as well as in the USA with Media Arts Group. In 2009 he was commissioned to paint US President Barack Obama by boxing legend Muhammad Ali. His two joint portraits of Barack Obama and Muhammad Ali were unveiled at the Kentucky Bluegrass Ball on the eve of the Presidential Inauguration in Washington DC by actress Ashley Judd. In 2007 he was invited to create a series of paintings that celebrated the life of Muhammad Ali. Many of these works are now on permanent display in the Muhammad Ali Center in Louisville Kentucky. He has spoken on behalf of the Muhammad Ali Center at the Vancouver Film Festival for the premiere of the movie Facing Ali.
The focus of his early work was the natural world, with an emphasis on the landscape, flowers, farm animals and pastoral scenes. He employed the Plein Aire method of working and traveled extensively throughout Britain, the Mediterranean and Asia, documenting and depicting what he saw in a clear naturalistic way. He gained recognition early on in his career for his detailed etchings and watercolors, but in the early nineties, the artist developed and began using bold colors and a more gestural painting style. This transition signaled a major turning point for Bull who has since been characterized as a colorist. It was during this time that he developed a method of combining etching, aquatint, acrylics, pastel and gold leaf to create a series of images that were to become commercially very successful in Great Britain, Germany, Spain, Holland, Belgium and the US. Culminating in the Fine Art Trade Guild Artist Print Award in the UK for the year 2000.
By the late nineties, the artist was beginning to work on a larger scale, using oils and then acrylics. Drawing inspiration from his garden, he embarked on a series of intensely colored large close up images of flowers that were first showcased at a sell-out One Man show in Harrods, London. With the advent of giclee printing and the emergence of a strong North American market for his work after the year 2000, he shifted his emphasis to works on canvas. By 2007 he was moving away from the bold floral imagery that had defined a decade of his creative life and was experimenting again with new ideas; this time pouring, dripping and throwing paint onto canvas and board, often using black backgrounds and startling colors. His current work represents a distillation and simplification resulting from almost four decades of artistic development expressing exuberance, pathos, purity, nostalgia and joy.
Bull received many awards for his works, including multiple National Association of Limited Edition Dealers awards for Graphic Print/Lithograph of the Year. In 2003 he made history by becoming the first British artist to win the NALED award for his print The Journey Never Ends, usurping former nine-year title holder Thomas Kinkade and again in 2004 for Bird of Paradise. He was also honored in 2004 with the NALED Medal of Honor for artistic services to the limited edition industry. In 2002 he was selected along with fellow artists Thomas Kinkade and Howard Behrens to commemorate the 2002 Salt Lake City Winter Olympics. These works were unveiled at an event in New York City in the Spring of 2002 by Donald Trump. In a written statement at the same event, New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani claimed Simon Bull to be "One of the most popular and collected living artists of our time" and his work was labeled as "a breath of fresh air" by the New York Daily News. In 2000 he won the British Fine Art Trade Guild award (Artist Print Award) for the top-selling original print artist in Great Britain. He was also shortlisted for the Fine Art Trade Guild's Best Selling Published Artist Award in 1997 and again 2000. Increasing interest in his work among American collectors led him to immigrate to the US in 2003. He currently lives and paints from his studio in the Monterey Bay area of California. He became an American Citizen in 2011.

As I said in my roundup of iPad apps on Tuesday, the back to school season is upon us once again. As many begin to gather their supplies, they are also shopping for a new computer for this next year. While the PC remains dominate in many circles, it is quickly losing ground among students. That means that there are thousands of students trying to find the essential apps for education to run on their Macs.
Fear not! I am here to help, and I have brought a list of 5 of the most essential apps for Back To School 2011. This is list is going to cover note taking, organization, paper writing, time management, and even relaxation. All of these apps come from my experience as a university student, and they are all amazing. Without further ado, let's get to that list.
1. NeoOffice (Free)
I think that its important to start with something that everyone can understand. That's why the first app on my list is NeoOffice. Neo is a branch of the OpenOffice.org project that was rethought specifically for the Mac. I have been a user of OpenOffice/LibreOffice for a number of years now, and NeoOffice is a great version. It offers all the usual programs, including a word processor, spreadsheet program, and presentation editor.
Neo is completely free for certain versions. You get a complete office suite, much like Microsoft Office, for no money at all. However, I have donated $10 to them, and have access to their latest beta release. That version comes with Lion support, including versions and full-screen mode. That makes NeoOffice a fantastic addition to my machine, which runs like a top on Lion.
Overall, I think that the need for an office suite is obvious for the aerate student. You will write papers, analyze data and even create presentations throughout your educational career. If you are looking for a cheap alternative to Microsoft or Apple's offerings, or if you want to support a good open source project, I can't recommend NeoOffice enough.
Alternatives: OpenOffice (Free), LibreOffice (Free), iWork ($60 – Mac App Store), Microsoft Office ($85)
2. Evernote (Free)
Many students buy a light weight laptop, like the MacBook Air, with the hope of using it to take notes in class. While there are arguments that this is best done with a word processor (see number 1 on this list), there are just as many reasons as to why you should use a dedicated note taking app. In my opinion, there is no better app for taking notes then Evernote, which is completely free.
Evernote, for those who aren't aware, is a note taking and organization application from Evernote Software. They offer one of the best Mac apps I have come across in my search. It is feature rich and includes the ability to record audio, record video, link documents to notes, and even share notes with friends. It is also cross platform, with apps available to iOS, Android, Windows, and the web.
I really like Evernote. As I said in my iPad roundup, I use it to sync my handwritten notes with my Mac, and it works wonderfully. I also keep track of assignments, manage my PDF notes, and even use it in class occasionally. It's free to use, and is probably the best note taking app around. Download it here.
Alternatives: Word Processor, Growly (Free), Nevernote (Free)
3. Caffeine (Free)
This probably the strangest app on my list of 5. Its going to seem like something incredibly simple, but it really is a lifesaver sometimes. The app is called Caffeine, and it allows you to prevent your Mac's screen from going to sleep. I suspect that most college students will have MacBooks of some kind, be they Pros, Airs, or White Plastics. That means that they have a power save option that is one by default. This will turn your screen off after a given amount of time spent inactive.
While that may not sound like a big deal to many people, its a huge deal to students who are trying to take notes in class. Often, a professor will go off on a tangent, and you won't type anything for 10 minutes. Then, they will tell you all the answers to the test in the next 2 minutes, and you don't want to waste any time waking your machine back up. That's where Caffeine comes in to play.
Caffeine will install a small coffee cup icon into your menu bar. You click it, and its activated. It's that simple. It's completely free, and you can pick it up in the Mac App Store.
Alternatives: None. It's free. Go install it.
4. iProcrastinate (Free)
One of the biggest problems for the average student is time management and scheduling. I have tried multiple methods for handling this issue, and it was hard beat. I finally discovered iProcrastinate, which is a free Mac app that allows you to create a simple calendar with events and assignment due dates on it. While you can do that in iCal, iProcrastinate lets you take your organization to another level.
iProcrastinate allows you to set up steps to a task, each with its own check mark. That way, you can set up a plan for researching your paper, writing the rough draft, proofreading it, and then writing your final draft. The calendar display is quite good, showing you all your tasks and their due dates for a given time period.
iProcrastinate is awesome for managing not only your school work, but all of your life. Be sure to use it to schedule some relaxation into your schedule. It will allow you to color code things, letting you see them easily in the calendar. It also gives you nice notifications reminding you of due dates. You can grab it for free in the Mac App Store.
Alternatives: Any To-Do App, Wunderlist (Free)
5. Steam (Free)
This last app is something that I think every Mac user who likes to play games should install. While the Mac isn't known for having the best games on the market, that landscape is certainly changing. One driving force behind that is Steam, Valve's digital distribution service, making its way over to the Mac. With that, they now offer a number of top notch titles.
You may be wondering why this is on the my Back to School app list. That's because the most important thing you can do as a student is relax. If you try to do nothing but study, you will drive yourself mad. Steam will give you access to a ton of games, many of them for next to nothing or completely free. One game I recommend is Team Fortress 2, which is a great free shooter.
Like I said, this is a must have for students. I think the best time I spend in college is the time I set aside for gaming. It helps me forget that I have a heavy course load that requires so much of my time. However, it's important to remember that you still need to study some of the time. That's why you should use Steam in combination with iProcrastinate. Seriously. Do it. You can download Steam for free here.
Alternatives: Mac App Store? Seriously, just get Steam.
Get Downloading and Get Studying
So there you have it. 5 apps that every college student who uses a Mac should use. I know that I use these apps all the time. If I could add one more, I would recommend Dropbox, just because it's so much better than carrying a flash drive. It's a lifesaver most of the time. Also, even with Dropbox, all the apps on this list are Free, which is awesome for poor students like me.
What apps would be on your list? Do you think I missed something major? Let me know what you think by leaving a comment below.

John Myers, the Capitol reporter for KQED public radio, recounts an exquisite scene from inside the Capitol on Monday, the first of a week's worth of protests by teachers and others who want to raise taxes to slow down cuts:
"in the early afternoon, none of the education advocates in a statehouse hallway recognized one of the key figures they would ostensibly be pressuring: Assembly GOP Leader Connie Conway. The Tulare legislator, after wrapping up a Q&A with reporters just off the Assembly floor, walked unnoticed into her third floor office."
Raising taxes requires a two-thirds vote of the legislature -- which means at least two votes from Assembly Republicans. But the protestors can't recognize the leading Assembly Republican?
U.S. & World
News from around the country and around the globe
Of course, in California, this is not surprising. Legislative leaders don't get much attention because, in the grand scheme of things, they aren't important. Fiscal decisions have already been made by voters. The legislators merely try to clean up the messes created by voters.

|MySQL Community Server 5.5.25a has been released
|View as plain text
Dear MySQL users, MySQL 5.5.25a is a new version of the 5.5 production release of the world's most popular open source database. MySQL 5.5.25a is recommended for use on production systems. MySQL 5.5.25a is a replacement of MySQL 5.5.25, in that version a regression bug was detected in the optimizer (Bug #65745). Because of this, MySQL 5.5.25 has been removed from the download sites. We recommend that users who have installed MySQL 5.5.25 upgrade to MySQL 5.5.25a at the earliest opportunity. That bug is specific to MySQL 5.5.25, other versions are not affected. MySQL 5.5 includes several high-impact enhancements to improve the performance and scalability of the MySQL Database, taking advantage of the latest multi-CPU and multi-core hardware and operating systems. In addition, with release 5.5, InnoDB is now the default storage engine for the MySQL Database, delivering ACID transactions, referential integrity and crash recovery by default. MySQL 5.5 also provides a number of additional enhancements including: - Significantly improved performance on Windows, with various Windows specific features and improvements - Higher availability, with new semi-synchronous replication and Replication Heart Beat - Improved usability, with Improved index and table partitioning, SIGNAL/RESIGNAL support and enhanced diagnostics, including a new Performance Schema monitoring capability. For a more complete look at what's new in MySQL 5.5, please see the following resources: MySQL 5.5 is GA, Interview with Tomas Ulin: http://dev.mysql.com/tech-resources/interviews/thomas-ulin-mysql-55.html Documentation: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.5/en/mysql-nutshell.html Whitepaper: What's New in MySQL 5.5: http://dev.mysql.com/why-mysql/white-papers/mysql-wp-whatsnew-mysql-55.php If you are running a MySQL production level system, we would like to direct your attention to MySQL Enterprise Edition, which includes the most comprehensive set of MySQL production, backup, monitoring, modeling, development, and administration tools so businesses can achieve the highest levels of MySQL performance, security and uptime. http://mysql.com/products/enterprise/ For information on installing MySQL 5.5.25a on new servers, please see the MySQL installation documentation at http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.5/en/installing.html For upgrading from previous MySQL releases, please see the important upgrade considerations at: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.5/en/upgrading.html MySQL Database 5.5.25a is available in source and binary form for a number of platforms from our download pages at: http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/mysql/ Not all mirror sites may be up to date at this point in time, so if you can't find this version on some mirror, please try again later or choose another download site. We welcome and appreciate your feedback, bug reports, bug fixes, patches, etc.: http://forge.mysql.com/wiki/Contributing The following sections list the changes in the MySQL source code since the previous released versions, MySQL 5.5.25 (withdrawn) and MySQL 5.5.24. They may also be viewed online at: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.5/en/news-5-5-25a.html http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.5/en/news-5-5-25.html Enjoy! D.1.2. Changes in MySQL 5.5.25a (2012-July-05) Note Due to MSI restrictions, the MSI packages of MySQL 5.5.25a will treat the version as 5.5.26 internally; for example, as displayed by the Installation Wizard. MySQL itself reports the version as 5.5.25a; for example, if you check the value of the VERSION() SQL function or the version system variable. Bugs Fixed * A regression bug in the optimizer could cause excessive disk usage for UPDATE statements. (Bug #65745, Bug #14248833) D.1.3. Changes in MySQL 5.5.25 (2012-May-30) Note MySQL 5.5.25 is superseded by MySQL 5.5.25a due to a regression bug that can cause excessive disk usage (for details, see Bug #65745). Current users of 5.5.25: Monitor disk usage and upgrade to 5.5.25a as soon as that is made available. Users contemplating upgrades to 5.5.25: Defer and upgrade to 5.5.25a instead when that is made available. Functionality Added or Changed * Important Change: Replication: The SHOW BINARY LOGS statement (and its equivalent SHOW MASTER LOGS) may now be executed by a user with the REPLICATION CLIENT privilege. (Formerly, the SUPER privilege was necessary to use either form of this statement.) * The --safe-mode server option now is deprecated and will be removed in MySQL 5.6. Bugs Fixed * Performance: InnoDB: Improved the algorithm related to adaptive flushing. This fix increases the rate of flushing in cases where compression is used and the data set is larger than the buffer pool, leading to eviction. (Bug #13990648, Bug #65061) * InnoDB: In a transaction using the REPEATABLE READ isolation level, an UPDATE or DELETE statement for an InnoDB table could sometimes overlook rows recently committed by other transactions. As explained in Section 184.108.40.206, "Consistent Nonlocking Reads," DML statements within a REPEATABLE READ transaction apply to rows committed by other transactions, even if a query could not see those rows. (Bug #14007649, Bug #65111) * InnoDB: The Innodb_buffer_pool_pages_flushed status variable was incorrectly set to twice the value it should be. Its value should never exceed the value of Innodb_pages_written. (Bug #14000361, Bug #65030) * InnoDB: The error handling and message was improved for attempting to create a foreign key with a column referencing itself. The message suggested a potential problem with the data dictionary, when no such problem existed. (Bug #12902967) * InnoDB: The CHECK TABLE statement could fail for a large InnoDB table due to a timeout value of 2 hours. For typical storage devices, the issue could occur for tables that exceeded approximately 200 or 350 GB, depending on I/O speed. The fix relaxes the locking performed on the table being checked, which makes the timeout less likely. It also makes InnoDB recognize the syntax CHECK TABLE QUICK, which avoids the possibility of the timeout entirely. (Bug #11758510, Bug #50723) * Replication: It was theoretically possible for concurrent execution of more than one instance of SHOW BINLOG EVENTS to crash the MySQL Server. (Bug #13979418) * Replication: Statements using AUTO_INCREMENT, LAST_INSERT_ID(), RAND(), or user variables could be applied in the wrong context on the slave when using statement-based replication and replication filtering server options (see Section 16.2.3, "How Servers Evaluate Replication Filtering Rules"). (Bug #11761686, Bug #54201) References: See also Bug #11754117, Bug #45670, Bug #11746146, Bug #23894. * Replication: An INSERT into a table that has a composite primary key that includes an AUTO_INCREMENT column that is not the first column of this composite key is not safe for statement-based binary logging or replication. Such statements are now marked as unsafe and fail with an error when using the STATEMENT binary logging format. For more information, see Section 220.127.116.11, "Determination of Safe and Unsafe Statements in Binary Logging," as well as Section 188.8.131.52, "Replication and AUTO_INCREMENT." Note Tables using the InnoDB storage engine are not affected by this issue, since InnoDB does not allow the creation of a composite key that includes an AUTO_INCREMENT column, where this column is not the first column in the key. (Bug #11754117, Bug #45670) References: See also Bug #11761686, Bug #54201, Bug #11746146, Bug #23894. * SHOW TABLES was very slow unless the required information was already in the disk cache. (Bug #60961, Bug #12427262) On behalf of the MySQL Build Team, Sunanda Menon

Corporate Office Furniture Removal
Sean and his team were incredibly helpful when I contacted them to assist with moving some old office furniture from our corporate office. They worked with me and with the property management of the building (who were very...thorough, requiring a ton of documentation, which Sean provided), and showed up early for their appointment, as the building would not let us do it until after business hours. They moved the furniture quickly and easily, and at a great price. If we have any other work that needs to be done around the office, we will be back.
Great service!
Very happy with their service and I will definitely use them again. I had a bunch of "junk" I needed to get rid of including a large ping pong table and bench. I called them on a Sunday morning and they arrived at my house 2 hours later. Fast, nice service. The owner was very friendly and easy to work with. Prices were much better than 1-800 got junk
Arrived on time, were friendly and professional. Would definitely use them again.
Got me out of a bind
NY Corp got me out of a bind. After a two days of clearing out junk roommates had left behind, I had a huge pile of junk sitting in my front lawn. NY Corp answered my call immediately, scheduled a pickup within hours, arrived on time and cleaned my lawn up. The driver was courteous and took care of everything. Thank you - NY Corp!
Professional and friendly
They quoted me a price via text, suggested using the coupon on their website, and picked up my items to junk quickly. They scheduled the appointment that was convenient for me, working around my schedule. They were professional and very friendly.
Provided reliable and professional service. Would I use their service again? ABSOLUTELY!!!!!!!
I usually read reviews to make decisions on whether or not to patronize a business. This time, I'm compelled to write a review. I placed the initial call to have post-moving debris removed from my home. Sean called me back within minutes to place the order. Minutes after that call, Sean phoned back to confirm. On the day of the debris removal, Frank and his team arrived......ON TIME. Frank was wonderful!!!! Nice, professional, humorous, and got the job done in the estimated time frame. Would I use Moving Fairfax again? You betcha I would. In fact, I'd recommend them. By the way, Sean phoned me back after Frank finished to be sure that I was satisfied, and that expectations were met. He thanked me for my business!! Who does that?!?!?! :-) Class act all the way.
Extremely professional, fair pricing, and fast!
Requested a quote in the morning and they were here at noon. Very fair price and very friendly/professional upon arrival. I would definitely recommend to a friend.
I'm not one to write reviews but in this case I MUST. We had a sofa in our living room that we wanted to move of our town house for over a year. My wife wanted to put up a Christmas tree but didn't have the room because of lack of space. I called up NY Corp at 10 am on a Saturday morning and Sean and a helper was at my home at 12:30pm the same day. We have 4 short flight of stairs before you get to the living and Sean and his helper was able to bring the sofas down without any damage to my walls. Also, I had a medium size kitchen cart that I just received from Amazon that needed to be put together. He was able to do it at a lower cost then Amazon wanted to charge me, also he cleaned up the packing from the cart and vacuum my floor afterwards. I would RECOMMEND this place for WHATEVER needs you might have. OUTSTANDING SERVICE!!!!!!
Professional, friendly
We called to have an old couch hauled away. The truck was here within a couple hours and the 2 people were very polite and professional. We paid $75 to have the couch hauled away. We had it outside waiting on them. Thank you, Sean!
Great svc!
Highly recommend! Fast and professional!
Professional, Accomodating, and Friendly
I contacted Sean about trash/junk removal service. He was extremely professional and gave me a very reasonable estimate. Sean was able to pick up the items the next day and was on time and very friendly. I would recommend his services to anyone in the DC area who needs assistance moving, hauling, etc. Great experience with Sean and his team- thank you! Will definitely use NY Corp Logistics again in the future.
Great Response Time, Professional and Excellent Customer Service
Sean and his team responded to my last minute request and helped me prepare for an upcoming move. They took down a patio door to remove some furniture to be staged for pickup or in my garage. They also exchanged some furniture from upstairs to downstairs and hauled away a large projection TV for disposal. I highly recommend NY Corp Cogistics and will use them again for my logistics needs.
Excellent Service...........................
I contracted with Sean and crew to remove and move several objects in my home. Specifically, they removed (1) old sofa bed, (1) Old matching love seat, and (1) Old Sony HD TV (Very Heavy) from my basement. Then they moved a sofa and matching love seat frrom upstairs to the vacated downstairs space, to make room for new furniture delivering the next day. They arrived within the time specified and have the job finished in less that 1/2 hour. They were very professional and took pains not to damage any of the newly painted walls. They did not leave a mess. Although not the cheapest quote we received, we are very happy with the results. So you get the quality that you pay for. We will use their services again when necessary, and I would highly recommend considering them when needing to remove materials from the home or just moving them around. Guenter & Linda Lorenz Fairfax, VA.
High Quality Service Professsional and Friendly
They called before arrival and arrived right on time which was great. He took everything and was very friendly and professional. I would definately call these guys again. Great job!
Professional and friendly
Very happy and satisfied on the service. Sean was professional and knew exactly what needed to be done and how to get it done. And - they came on a Sunday! Worked around my schedule - perfect!
Extremely high quality service and professionalism!
Let's be honest, it is rare now a days to find service providers showing genuine care that goes above and beyond the exchange of services and goods for payment; Sean and his team are one of those rare finds- and by far one the best local companies I have ever had the pleasure to encounter. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend his services to my friends and family, which I already have! Thank you Sean and your team for making my moving/junk removal such a great experience, I'm grateful you made it a much less stressful one!
Fast and Amazing Attention to Detail
Sean and his team were incredible. They helped demo a client's condo in record time without sacrificing quality. Would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for movers or demo.
Excellent customer service
Movers did a great job at removing unwanted items from my home. They arrived timely and were very careful in removing items. I was very pleased with their services.
Great moving experience!
Thank you Sean and your team for making my moving day such a great experience! I appreciate you taking good care of my furniture and belongings. I will definitely recommend you and your team to anyone I hear needing moving services. Thanks again!
NY Corp Logistics was a great company to work with. From the very first phone call, they were very professional and tried to get the job done as quickly and efficiently as possible. I had wood from an old deck that needed to be picked up and it was a bigger job than they anticipated but they never once complained. They obviously put the customer's needs first. I would definitely use them again.
Friendly, Professional, Conscientious
Excellent job! Very careful with my belongings. Cleaned up after the move. Friendly and respectful. Highly recommend.
Wonderful and made moving so much less stressful!
I have a very unpredictable schedule that made it so that I couldn't be present during my move, and my boyfriend had to be there in my place. Sean and his crew were in and out in an hour with not a scuff, scratch or item left behind! Couldn't be happier and will use them again in the future for all my moving needs.
Good Service
Very efficient. They were punctual, and completed the task in good time.
The service provided was very good. They arrived on time, Sean was very friendly, courtesy and informative. The junk disposal was done in a timely matter. One caveat, ask about the additional cost of the disposal fee for some items, ie tv's, even though this was a Groupon purchase the added fee brought the total to just under the regular fee.Other than that, I would recommend them for any move or junk disposal job.
Top-Notch Service, Courteous and Professional
Sean and his team provided professional care at a reasonable price. Although they were only supposed to pack up my kitchen, they also packed a lot of loose items at no extra price. They also did not charge extra for taking my furniture up four flights of stairs (no elevator!) to my new apartment. Everything was wrapped and transported with a lot of care, and they rearranged the furniture until it was exactly how I wanted it. They also waited once the move was done to make sure I was completely satisfied before leaving. I was very happy with their service. It is hard to find movers you can trust, but I would rely on this team and I definitely intend to call them again for my next move!
Great movers!
I would completely use them again no question! They were on time fast and accommodating. Very professional staff and my move was a breeze!
Great Job NY Corp Logistics
Sean and his crew came out as scheduled and did a remarkable job removing a huge (17-ft truckload) of junk from my basement and demolishing an old shed and removing its contents. Sean communicated very well throughout the process and aims to please his customers. Give them a try!
Great service, very professional, no extra fees. Definitely recommend it to anyone and I refer them to everybody I know who's moving.
Amazing moving company
Very professional, efficient and timely. Sean arrived on time and moved all of my items in less than three hours. They wrapped my television, paintings and mirrors very well (and I am picky about this stuff!) His assistant was excellent too. They lifted two heavy leather couches in no time. Highly recommend them!
Very Efficient
Sean and his help were great. Very polite, friendly and careful not to damage anything in the move. Gave me a good price and I was very pleased with there work. Would definitely use them again. Tommy
Excellent service with great results
NY Corp was on time, cooperative and went over and beyond to make us happy. I highly recommend them for your next move.
Awesome guys, got the job done!
These guys were awesome. Super easy to schedule the appointment. When I had to change my appointment time, they bent over backwards to accommodate me. Made my move in day so stress free!
Good experience
Fast, clean and reliable. My experience with NY was absolute satisfaction.
Exceeded my expectations
I chose NY Corp Logistics after inquiring with several other movers. One company wouldn't honor their Groupon deal and said my job wasn't large enough for the deal (even though their Groupon page had no minimum amount requirement; thankfully I hadn't purchased the Groupon yet). Another company tacked on an additional charge to travel to my point of origination. NY Corps Logistics honored their Groupon deal and didn't have any B.S. additional fees. Sean was a pleasure to deal with and easy to communicate with by phone and e-mail. Most importantly, his crew didn't damage any of my furniture. I was skeptical of this company that I had never heard of, but they exceeded my expectations. Great job! I will hire them again for my next move.
Great Service
I recently used NY Corp Logistics for their junk removal service. I was in a bit of a bind when I reached out to them. I had a house FULL of junk left by a previous group of tenants, needed to leave early the next morning to return to North Carolina, AND it was snowing heavily in DC. Sean and his crew responded to my call immediately, and made it out in the snow the same day. I was skeptical about whether they would be able to fit all of my junk in their truck, but they used every square inch and stayed until every last item was moved out of the house, all while there was 3-4 inches of snow on the ground and as it continued to snow. I would highly recommend Sean and NY Corp Logistics to anyone needing their services.
Very Professional. Very Efficient. And GREAT Price!
It's always difficult finding a mover you can fully trust. Even harder finding one at a great price. Well NY Corp Logistics combines both. Friendly, Efficient, Relatively Low Cost, Highly Professional. What more could you ask for? I would have no problem going with them again, or recommending them to someone else looking to move in the Northern VA area. My move from Centreville to Mclean couldn't have been easier.
Great moving company!
Moving is one of those things that stress me out a lot. I worried whether the company is reputable, responsible, or do they take good care of my stuff. I purchased a voucher with this company through LivingSocial. They were very responsive both on the phone and through emails. They were able to help even though it was on short notice! I was afraid that I have to wait forever because I bought a discounted voucher. When they arrived, they were very professional. They asked us about everything that we will be moving, and they took their time wrapping all the furnitures and appliances very carefully. Sean is great because he made sure all the items were move carefully so that they didn't damage the walls and surroundings. We couldn't be happier with this company!
NY Corp came to haul a full 20 foot truck load away. In addition, they disassembled some large and heavy equipment. They also did some moving of furniture from one part of the house to another. They were extremely efficient both in their labor and in their packing, making the most use of space within the truck. They were careful not to damage items or walls while carrying. They were polite and extremely accommodating. Nothing about the service was lacking in any way. I highly recommend this company for hauling, moving and donating!
Excellent Service from Truly Passionate People
Wow! I can't even begin to thank Sean, Tomas & Jesus enough for the incredible job they did moving my studio into into storage. Tbey completed the project so smoothly, with speed & precision, and most importantly you can tell hoq much they really care. They went above & beyond to ensure that I was a very satisfied guy. I highly recommend them for all of your moving needs! 5 Stars!
A lot to move
These guys really took away the word frustration from the moving process. 2 trucks and 6 guys, what else can I say. Shrink wrapping and covering everything, so the wife was super happy. All went smooth and a big house was moved in the fastest possible way.
Great service
Great and friendly service! I would definitely recommend this company.
Great Move
NY Corp did a great job with my move. They made everything quick and easy. They also gave me a great price for my move. I would definitely recommend these guys!
cant wait to recommend to more people.
they came 10 min early, very professional ,very helpful and kind people.i couldn't ask for better service.
Best move I've ever had
These guys did an amazing job loading and unloading my furniture. It took them less than 2 hours to get everything out of one house and into the other. I don't think its ever taken me that short amount of time to move I would highly recommend them to anyone looking to move.Very efficient and professional.
Awesome !
Move was a one bedroom apt to a single family home. The whole experience was superb. 10/10. They were on time. All prepared for the whole move including paddings, plastic wrap...etc. all three gentlemen worked great with Sean being in charge they moved out and moved in in record time. All furniture was handled with great care and the crew are extremely curious. I'm not ready to move again yet, but if I ever do it will be with NY corp logistics.
Best experience ever!
I was looking for a moving company two days before I move, and was worrying that I couldn't find one. But then I saw NY corp on groupon and contacted them. They responded in 5 mins and they are willing to move based on my schedule. On the moving day, they arrived exactly at the time I scheduled for. The staff was polite and professional! They were really fast and they took really good care of my stuff. I definitely recommend this company! I won't use other moving companies other than NY corp any time I move!
I really appreciate all of your help. You guys were very trustworthy, efficient, and helpful. I was very happy with how the day went and plan on recommending you to others. Thank you!
Fantastic Moving Company
We scheduled last minute (about a week out) and Sean was fantastic from the very beginning. Not only were they on time, but they were efficient, professional, and friendly. They asked me where I wanted the furniture--and they confirmed that I was happy with the placement before they went on to the next piece. They were truly a pleasure to work with and I will definitely hire them the next time we move.
Well Done
I had a fabulous experience with a recent local move. The owner and staff were both professional and prompt. They handled all of my requirements with patience and guidance. They inspired confidence that the work would be accomplished on time. Well done Sean and thank you.
Pleasant and professional
The three movers were professional, helpful, and courteous. They really saved the day and helped move us for a much longer time-frame than we had originally informed them. They made the process very easy, from packing breakables to moving (and disposing) large pieces of furniture. Great experience, and I plan on using them for any and all future moves! Good rate for quality service.
Fantastic service
Sean and his crew did a fantastic job with our move at the end of April. He was great about communicating with me as the move date approached, asked good questions and made us feel comfortable trusting NY Corp with our move. On the day of the move, he and his team arrived on time and got right to work. They treated both our regular and our antique furniture with great care. With any moving project, there were a few unforeseen issues that came up, but Sean and his team were absolutely great about resolving them in a very positive way. Throughout the entire day, he and his team were polite, respectful and very professional. They gave us 100% of their attention and energy. We felt that the price they charged was extremely fair and we would love to use them again to help us move. Well done, Sean and NY Corp!

Authorities have identified the gunman in Tuesday morning massacre at the Carson City IHOP as local man, Eduardo Sencion.
Three shooting victims have died, two uniformed guardsmen and a woman in the line of fire says officials. Five victims total have been identified as National Guard personnel.
According to the Associated Press the gunman used an AK-47 assault rifle but it is unclear if he was aiming specifically for uniformed service members.
"To say that he was targeting, before he came into the restaurant, military personnel is speculation," says Kenny Furlong, Carson City Sheriff.
Sencion, 32, died soon after the massacre from a self-inflicted gunshot wound. He had two additional firearms in his van in the IHOP parking lot.
According to officials 11 people total have been treated for gunshot wounds.
It happened around 9 a.m., on the 3800 block of Carson Street when a gunman opened fire on diners inside and kept shooting as he walked throughout the restaurant. He then went outside and continued to fire hitting people and several buildings in the vicinity.
Carson City Sheriff Kenny Furlong says Sencion lived in Carson City and worked at a family business in South Lake Tahoe. He was not in the military, and had no known affiliations with anyone inside the restaurant.
Federal and State agencies continue to look into the cause and time-line of the shooting.
Sencion's family members have hinted to officials that he may have suffered a mental illness.
WNC (western Nevada College) in Carson City is holding a candlelight vigil tonight, 8:30-9pm, at the capitol complex, at the statue of the fallen soldier. Take your own candles.

MWC 15 Special
have zero information if these screenshots are legit or just a simple PhotoShop
result but according to Swiss Windows Mobile fan-site "Mobile-Devices.ch",
bellow you see some screenshots of HTC's upcoming/next
TouchFLO GUI which is
code-named "Manila".
No further information given so it's not clear if it is real (really from HTC),
an HTC development environment or really HTC "TouchFLO 2.0"; also Mobile-Devices.ch
hasn't mentioned where they got the information from but from what you can see
from the screenshots, it could be real indeed:
Head over to Mobile-Devices.ch for more screenshots.
UPDATE: Original source seems to be
"The HTC Insider" Blog. But also no word here if it is legit and where it
comes from.
UPDATE 2: Okay, as I've heard from several anonymous sources (thanks for
the E-Mails), this is indeed a new user
interface, HTC might release later this year - most likely with its upcoming
devices (but it might also replace the current TouchFLO as available on the HTC
Touch, HTC Touch Dual and HTC Touch Cruise). Nevertheless, it's intend for
internal testing and usage only and the files, floating around the Internet
aren't intend to be installed on current production devices. If you are not a
developer, better don't install anything yet.

Gov. Hickenlooper hits one out of the park
]Colorado Mesa University [/media-credit]
It was a sunny morning and the cheery crowd on a second-story deck at the new student center was in good enough spirits to chant and slap their hands together when Gov. John Hickenlooper strode in to wield his bill-signing pen. With a flourish and a smile and some nice words about the economic importance of higher education, the governor turned Mesa State College into Colorado Mesa University.
Not everyone is crazy about the name, but you would never have known that Monday. Local dignitaries, faculty members and a sprinkling of students snapped up the complimentary Colorado Mesa University caps and shirts quicker than they did the mini muffins and coffee. While the crowd milled about waiting for the star guest, they tried out a few different cheers. What sounded like "C-moo, C-moo" was an early favorite because the school's mascot is a longhorned maverick. But cooler heads prevailed, notably that of Grand Junction Area Chamber of Commerce Director Diane Schwenke, and the cheer evolved into "CMU, CMU" by the time Hickenlooper showed up.
It was an unusual love fest for a Democrat in very red Mesa County. The governor got two standing ovations and numerous kudos from Republican lawmakers for showing up at the college/university to sign the bill. He also came away with a gift from Mesa President Tim Foster – a Mesa baseball jersey that made "Hick" a member of the team. His number: a fitting 42 for his lineup in the long list of Colorado governors.

Supplements made from white kidney beans ( Phaseolus vulgaris) are sold as starch blockers, supplements said to interfere with the digestion of carbohydrates and thereby promote weight loss.
Technically, starch blockers are amylase inhibitors. Amylase is one of the main enzymes the body uses to digest starch. In theory, when amylase is blocked, starch can pass through the body undigested. If the body is unable to digest a part of the meal the calorie intake will be lower which can aid in weight loss.
However, theory is one thing, reality another and clinical studies of amylase inhibitors have not established definitive benefits.1-3 For example, one published study failed to find that use of a phaseolus product reduced the usual blood sugar rise that follows a meal.7 Several possible reasons for this discrepancy have been proposed, such as that the amylase inhibitor may be broken down and made ineffective in the stomach, the product may supply enough of its own amylase to counteract any benefit, and that another enzyme, glucoamylase, may be able to take over when amylase can't do the job. However, according to the manufacturer of a current product, more concentrated extracts of Phaseolus vulgaris, taken in higher doses, do work.4-6 Follow up research conducted primarily by the manufacturer have had mixed results.
A randomized trial of 39 obese participants compared phaseolus vulgaris extract supplement vs. placebo before 2 meals everyday. Participants were instructed to concentrate their carbohydrates to the two meals associated with the supplement. There was no significant difference in weight loss at 8 weeks.11 However, a second randomized trial with 25 overweight participants took phaseolus vulgaris extract supplement vs. placebo as part of comprehensive weight loss program that included behavioral change, nutritional counseling, calorie restriction plan, and provided meals.12 After 4 weeks, the supplement group had a weight loss of 6 lbs (2.7 kg) vs 4.7 lbs (2.1 kg) with placebo which was statistically different. Those that had the highest carbohydrate intake in the supplement group had largest weight loss. A third randomized trial of 101 participants compared phaseolus vulgaris extract supplement vs. placebo.13 After 60 days the average weight loss with supplement was 4.1 lbs (1.9 kg) vs 0.88 lbs (0.4 kg) with placebo which was also statistically different.
Additional trials were completed with supplement mixes that included a phaseolus extract and at least one other ingredient. A double-blind, placebo-controlled study with 60 slightly overweight people were given either placebo or a phaseolus extract once daily 30 minutes prior to a main meal rich in carbohydrates. Over the thirty days of the study, the results indicated that the supplement was associated with a significantly greater reduction of body weight and and improvement of lean/fat ratio as compared to placebo.8 Two additional trials also showed higher weight loss in supplement group but the results were not statistically compared so it is unclear if the mixed supplement was significantly effective.9,10 In addition to statistical shortcomings these 3 trials only compared the mixed supplement to placebo so it is unclear what specific element or combination of elements were actually responsible for weight loss.
A systematic review and meta-analysis including the above randomized trials that was published in 2011 could not draw firm conclusions about the benefits of phaseolus vulgaris for weight loss.16 The conclusions of the review found that all of the trials had serious flaws in trial design or interpretation and the meta-analysis found no statistically significant difference in weight loss between the supplements and placebo. However, the supplement was associated with a statistically significant reduction in body fat compared to placebo. There were limits with both meta-analysis because of heterogeneity of results included. A randomized trial completed after the systematic review included 124 participants who were randomized to phaseolus vulgaris supplement or placebo for 12 weeks in addition to lower calorie diet plan. At the end of 12 weeks, there was an average weight loss of 6.41 lbs (2.91 kg) for those with the supplement compared to an average of 2 lbs (0.92 kg) for those in placebo. There were no adverse events reported.17
Independent confirmation from larger rigorously designed trials will be necessary before phaseolus can be considered a proven weight-loss product and who it is most beneficial for.
The recommended dose of amylase inhibitors varies among products. Follow label instructions.
On the basis of their widespread presence in commonly consumed foods (beans), amylase inhibitors are believed to be quite safe. One side effect, however, is to be expected: flatulence. It is the amylase inhibitors in beans that are responsible for their notorious gassiness.
Maximum safe doses in pregnant or nursing women, young children, or individuals with severe hepatic or renal disease have not been established.

I don't know who thought this was a good idea, but they were sort of right, in an extremely dangerous way. These clowns decided that maybe they should light their bonfire with a home-made bazooka that fires fireworks and thankfully they caught it on camera for the rest of us.
Don't try this at home, folks. Unless you're into super stupid things that are also kind of awesome but still mostly stupid and dangerous, though awesomely so. [Reddit]

Definition of Disaster
The UT Health Science Center Handbook of Operating Procedures defines a physical disaster as involving potential property damage and possible safety threat to persons. (http://www.uthscsa.edu/hop2000/8.3.2.pdf) For purposes of this plan, a disaster is defined as an unexpected, adverse event that damages the Library's facilities or systems and/or substantially diminishes the Library's ability to offer its usual resources and services. Disasters may be large events that everyone on site quickly notices (e.g. fire, tornado, explosion, flood), or more minor events (e.g., slow leak of water) – of little or no danger to persons and perhaps not quickly noticed – that still can cause great harm to the Library.
Emergencies include life-threatening situations, fire, explosions, severe weather, loss of electric power, accidents and medical problems.
Non-emergency situations that may warrant action include loss of network connectivity, unruly persons, discovery of vandalism, theft, mutilation, assault or harassment, and other criminal activity. Loss of telephone service to the campus is an emergency situation if the 911 line is unavailable. In general, it is at the discretion of the supervisor on duty to determine whether UT Police should be called or other actions should be taken.

End of Year Show 2012
POSTED ON: June 1, 2012
Cooper Union's annual End of Year exhibition is currently open to the public, presenting the most rigorous and innovative work of its students. On view through June 9, 2012, the exhibition showcases advanced and critical work in science and art. This year's exhibition brings together a rich array of industries, aesthetic paradigms, and design strategies, emphasizing the kind of interdisciplinarity that makes Cooper Union a seedbed of creativity.
Entering the lobby of 41 Cooper Square, one encounters a number of display posters, video monitors, and engineering prototypes installed by student teams from the Albert Nerken School of Engineering. The projects on display range widely in their scope and industry potential. On the first floor is a prototype steam-engine design built from recycled materials that turns bio-waste into mechanical energy. The work is by Julien Caubel, a 2012 Fulbright winner who will journey to Ghana to elaborate this research project. Caubel focuses on developing sustainable power for rural African communities and his engine design could potentially power any number of infrastructural systems from water pumps to electric generators.
Nearby and also on the first floor is a project intended for a domestic market: a novel football helmet design , incorporating new sophisticated padding material with the potential to absorb increased crush pressure on impact. The project is the work of Sean Davis and Shaun DeVitt, who taught themselves finite element modeling in order to simulate tests of their design.
Another wearable product on view is designed to advance technical accessibility for users with special needs. John Hawk and Nicholas Rotella have developed their project, the Gestural Language for Operations in Virtual Environments, or G.L.O.V.E. Interface (above), as a new system for the interpretation and transcription of sign language. Their product allows speech-impaired people a new and easier way to interface with machines by enabling computers to process, interpret, and record users who sign.This project, like Davis and DeVitt's, required the students not only to engage their own engineering backgrounds but to think outside of their discipline and teach themselves new skills: Hawk and Rotella learned American sign language in order to design and test their invention.
Descending one floor to the 41 Cooper Gallery, visitors enter Cemetery, a group exhibition of work from the School of Art curated by 2012 graduate and Gelman Trust prize winner Lucas Moore. The work Moore has selected for the exhibition takes its cues from the logic of the disposable—the used or discarded commodity appears reanimated in the second lives offered in works like Tory Thornton's archeological bodega display unit (above, left) or Christian Hincapie's salvaged material paintings. Kylie White's steel sculpture meanwhile mimes its modernist predecessors while its leaning posture against the back wall suggests something aloof, casual. The sculptures dominate the show, filling the center of 41 Cooper Gallery much like tombstones fill a plot of land—bringing a moody and uncertain close to a tumultuous school year.
Over in the Foundation Building, two groups of art students have organized two exhibitions responding to debates about introducing tuition to Cooper Union. On the second floor landing, the collaborative show Divide and Compromise offer narrative posters and a series of sculptural tableau presenting parody, criticism, and reflection on the school's administration and discourse relating to its financial crisis.
On the fifth and sixth floor meanwhile, art students offered hundreds of works as gifts to the public during the opening on May 21, in an exhibit titled Free as Air and Water. Students used the exhibition as a kind of performance, to underline their concern that Cooper Union will be charging tuition to graduate students, and has been considering changes to its full-tuition scholarship policy for undergraduates. Anyone interested in a piece could take a corresponding "tag" and redeem it for the artwork at one of two designated packing stations where student workers would wrap the piece for the taking. Once the works were removed, faint pencil tracings of the missing pieces became visible, marking the place where the artworks had previously been displayed and foregrounding their absence.
The response to the tuition debate was also reflected in the exhibition from the School of Architecture students, presented on the third floor landing and studio spaces, as well as the Houghton Gallery on the second floor of the Foundation Building. Dean Anthony Vidler wrote in his introductory essay that the work was focused on "demonstrate[ing] by the quality of our work that the school is worthy of rescue." Rather than departing entirely from the usual thesis exhibition format, this year's architecture exhibition focused on frugality of realization while adhering to the presentation of thesis projects by graduating seniors as well as projects by individual studio classes.
In his text, Dean Vidler framed the show in terms of the radical localism implicated in truly global thinking—counter, of course, the universalism that runs through much of Enlightenment thinking through modernism. The work on display, Vidler explains, highlights the research and reflection demanded when architects work in any new context, emphasized especially in what he called the "fragile contract between human settlement and the environment."
Design studio students in their first through fourth years respond to contexts and topics set by professors. Fifth year students meanwhile have a full year research and design studio as well as the opportunity to identify a problem field—local or global—especially susceptible to architectural intervention at different scales. Studies this year ranged from a theoretical rethinking and study of the demilitiarilized zone between North and South Korea by Jae Won Chang, to Mark Thompson's proposed renewal of the Lower East Side's Jacob Riis Housing projects (pictured above), intended to catalyze ongoing diversification into the projects rather than remodel or expand them. Also on display was Pamela Cabrera's study of historical and event time on the development of Lima, Peru. Inspired by the South American city's longitudinal coordinates as well as its pre- and post-colonial history, Cabrera's design propose three structures that would allow visitors a chance to critically engage with the temporal fabric of the city and site.
The School of Engineering projects will remain on view through June 3, 2012. The work exhibited by School of Art and Architecture students meanwhile will remain on view through June 9, 2012. The show is free and open to the public.

Hopes for a budget deal are waning given that the Senate is not in session this week and both chambers are intent on adjourning for the year on Dec. 13 — the same date on which the budget conference committee is tasked with striking a deal to keep the government running beyond the expiration of the current Continuing Resolution on Jan. 15.
As Joe Lieber of Washington Analysis wrote in his Washington This Week commentary, released Monday, given the constrained Dec. 13 timeline, "we doubt the ongoing budget negotiations will be able to reach a consensus."
What's more likely, Lieber says, is that another CR at FY13 levels ($988 billion), with sequestration reducing that figure to $967 billion, is the end result sometime in early January.
"House Republicans remain concerned that the absence of a deal prior to the winter recess will stoke both fears and, more importantly, blame, regarding another government shutdown," Lieber said. "As such, the lower chamber may seek to pass its own CR prior to adjourning, leaving the Senate to either accept it or resume discussions" when lawmakers return on Jan. 7.
But the odds of a government shutdown are "very small," Lieber says. "In fact, we continue to see a very benign macro 'fiscal' policy outlook for the markets, with little chance of another government shutdown between now and mid-December of 2014, and an even smaller probability of breaching the debt limit as the mid-March deadline approaches."
Even if Washington Analysis' prediction is incorrect, Lieber says, "and the government does shut down again, there would likely be an even a smaller market reaction than what occurred in October, which was itself minimal."
The remainder of this year's legislative session will be consumed by "more macro-level budget and policy priorities," Lieber opines, "in addition to ongoing noise about the Affordable Care Act."
Rep. Dave Camp, R-Mich., chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee, will also miss his self-imposed deadline of moving a tax reform bill through his committee this year, according to Wes Sheumaker on a recent blog posting on the law firm Sutherland Asbill & Brennan's TaxReformLaw.com.
Sheumaker says that some Republicans have gone so far as to question whether a tax reform bill is even possible in 2014, "given the budget and debt ceiling fights that are expected in the coming months and the fundamental differences between the Republicans and Democrats over possible tax increases."
Says Sheumaker: "While Rep. Camp has refused to make any prediction on timing," he has said that he "would continue to move ahead on the bill and continue to refine it."
Indeed, Camp expressed approval of Senate Finance Committee Chairman Max Baucus' recently released tax reform discussion drafts, and praised Baucus for "his continued commitment to advancing tax reform forward." Baucus' proposal on international tax reform sets up a discussion of "how to design the equivalent of a leash to rein in the abuse of the U.S. tax system by multinational corporations," wrote Christopher Bergin, president and publisher of Tax Analysts, in a recent blog posting. "It's a great understatement to say that what Baucus is doing is not what the multinationals had in mind."
Says Bergin: "When tax reform does come, and whatever it means when it gets here, U.S. multinationals will pay a price."
It's unclear how much Baucus, D-Mont., will impact tax reform's progress, as he announced that he would not seek re-election in 2014. The more pressing question in Bergin's mind is: Who will replace Baucus?

Program to commemorate Warsaw ghetto uprising
Anniversary to be marked with a program of Yiddish songs and diary texts
To mark the anniversary of the Warsaw ghetto uprising, literary scholar Susanne Klingenstein MA '83, pianist Eugenia Gerstein and mezzo-soprano Sophie Michaux are presenting a program of Yiddish songs and diary texts at Brandeis and two other Greater Boston venues.
At Brandeis, Klingenstein will be joined as narrator by Professor Kathy Lawrence, PhD. Mezzo-soprano Michaux and pianist Gerstein will be joined by Cantor Elias Rosemberg and the Temple Emanuel Choir of Newton, conducted by Gerstein and accompanied by Jeremiah Klarman of Berklee College of Music. The event will be held from 4:30 to 6 p.m. in Rapaporte Treasure Hall in the Goldfarb Library.
The following narrative of the uprising was written by Klingenstein.
On September 29, 1939, the Germans arrived in Warsaw.
Harassment and brutalization of Jews in the streets and in their homes began right away. On October, 12, 1940, the eve of Yom Kippur, the Germans announced the establishment of a ghetto in the old Jewish section in the north of Warsaw. Within a year it was filled to capacity: in March 1941, some 450,000 Jews were living in just 14,000 residential buildings, seven or eight people to a room.
On July 22, 1942, the day of Tisha b'Av, the deportations began. Within 45 days, 253,000 Jews had been killed or deported to Treblinka. On September, 12, 1942, the Germans mysteriously stopped their Aktion (initiative).
Stunned and incapable of feeling anything, the 73,000 remaining Jews came out of their hiding places Slowly their souls filled with rage. Two resistance groups reorganized themselves, tried to buy weapons from the Polish underground and got ready to fight.
On January 18, 1943, the Germans returned. They were in for a surprise: They were shot at by the Jews, suffered casualties and did not manage to fill their quota of 8,000 Jews. This had never happened before.
The Germans withdrew and did not return until April 19. The Jews were ready for them. Some 750 poorly armed Jews attacked the 2,000 well-nourished Germans who moved into the ghetto with tanks, cannons and flame-throwers.
In the afternoon of the first day of fighting, two boys climbed onto a roof and unfurled two flags -- a red and white one for Poland and a blue and white one for the Jews, raising the fighting spirit of the Jews. It took the Germans three weeks to defeat the Jews.
On May 16, it was all over. At 8:15 that evening, the Germans blew up the grand synagogue on Tlomackie Street, a symbolic gesture that signified the end of the Jews of Warsaw. The commander of the Aktion reported to his superior in Cracow: "The former Jewish quarter of Warsaw no longer exists."
Of the remaining Jews, 17,000 had been killed on the spot; 7,000 were sent to Treblinka, and 42,000 were sent to Majdanek, near Lublin.
The news that Jews had taken up arms against the Germans was of enormous moral and psychological importance to the Jews living under Nazi rule and left a legacy of courage that reverberates to this day.
Hundreds of diaries, thousands of poems, songs and stories were written during the destruction of European Jewry (1938-1945) and during the first years of commemoration. A new book, "Holocaust Literature: A History and Guide," has recently been published by Brandeis University Press and is an indispensable guide.
This study guide asks: What is Holocaust literature? When does it begin and how is it changing? Is there an essential core of diaries, eyewitness accounts of the concentration camps, tales of individual survival in hiding? What works of Holocaust literature will be read a hundred years from now—and why?
Other presentations of the program will be:
- on April 17, from 6 to 7:30 p.m. at Congregation Mishkan Tefila, 700 Hammond Pond Parkway in Chestnut Hill. That will be followed by a symposium titled "Armed and Moral Resistance," chaired by Professor John Michalczyk, and moderated by Professor Lorenz Reibling, both of Boston College, and featuring excepts from Roman Polanski's 2001 film "The Pianist," about a Jewish musician who was saved by a German Wehrmacht officer. Documentary filmmaker Marian Marzynski, who escaped from the Warsaw ghetto as a child will participate in the panel discussion, following the movie. [More information]
- on April 19 from 6 to 7:30 p.m., at the Goethe Institut, 170 Beacon St., Boston. Klingenstein, Gerstein and Michaux will present their narrative and musical program. Noted cellist Ronald Crutcher, the President of Wheaton College, and Eugenia Gerstein will play a section from "Jewish Life" by Ernest Bloch. For more information see the Goethe Institut website.

Motorists look to save money at pumps
Analyst says wholesale memberships, debit cards save people money
Motorists in Fort Smith are looking for ways to save money on gas.
At the Hydration Station in Fort Smith, customers sync their debit cards to save 10 cents per gallon.
"(I wish) I had one. It would (pay off in the end)," said motorist George Brown, who doesn't have a membership card.
Analysts said the programs save the owners and customers money at the pump.
"Transaction fees for debit cards are much lower, and if the station is taking it directly out of your checking account, there may be very little, if any cost in the transaction. So, they're simply passing along savings to motorists," said Patrick Deehan, senior petroleum analyst at Gasbuddy.com
Members at Sam's Club are also seeing a break.
"It saves me money," said Sam's Club member Carol Rice.
Analysts said wholesale memberships really work to save people money.
"We found in analysis that many times, paying for a warehouse membership can be worth it. In fact, the savings at the pump, if you're buying the majority of your gasoline from the wholesale club for which you are a member, you can come out ahead," Dehaan said.
"We had some of our family in the hospital and it costs us a fortune to come back and forth to the hospital to visit. It's important that we save money that we can save here," Rice said.

So it's been a while since I've posted and all I've got to talk about it bacon. What is wrong with this picture. Anyway, we've had some sickees around our house this past week. Keith has been really sick and Leah has a confirmed case of the flu. Paige and I are praying we don't get it.
Anyway, back to bacon. Last year I made a decision to remove pork from my diet. I love bacon so I started buying turkey bacon, but its just….lacking. You know what I mean. I recently saw this idea either on a TV cooking show or online somewhere and tried it and now the turkey bacon is palatable. Here's the recipe:
Package of turkey bacon
light brown sugar
cracked black pepper (I use a pepper grinder, but you could probably use regular pepper)
Lay your turkey bacon on a baking sheet and sprinkle the light brown sugar and then grind black pepper over the top. Put in the oven and bake until done. I think I usually leave it in around 15 minutes.
You end up with much better flavor. It really, really helps.
♥ Joy

{{#customtitle:CCTV Information introduced by Robyn Sones|CCTV Information}} <metadesc>Advice on CCTV (Closed Circuit Television), general security and surveillance from Robyn Sones of The CCTV Advisory Service, bringing years of personal consultation experience.</metadesc>
The CCTV Advisory Service is an Independent Consultancy and Web based information company dedicated to disseminating general information concerning Closed-circuit television (CCTV) and linking customers to quality organisations who can meet their specific requirements.
Realising that the average person, when they begin to look into CCTV, has little way of knowing where to find expert advice at reasonable cost, we have set up this web site to bring together some of the top people and organisations working in this field.
The companies and individuals found on this web site are those who do not just talk about excellence, but both believe in it, and make sure that it runs through every fibre of their organisations and dealings with customers. Companies appearing on our pages do not pay for space but appear by invitation only. They are companies we have chosen for the quality of their products, level of customer service and because they offer value for money.
Free Advice and Design
We are now able to offer free services including site surveys, drawing up plans, budget costings and system design to those who are seriously considering having a CCTV system installed by a professional installation company. These services are offered in conjunction with a small group of carefully selected CCTV Installation Companies.
Although these services are only available in Great Britain, in some instances we may be able to put overseas enquirers in contact with experienced CCTV installers in their own country.
Why Is a CCTV Web Site Necessary?
The importance of having a professionally designed specification can be seen from the fact that when the police seek to use CCTV evidence in court it is found to be inadmissible in at least 80% of cases. While it is true that almost anyone can look at a location and suggest a number of Cameras, only those who have experience in this field, through an understanding of the principles of optical science, will generally be able to recommend a Camera that will give the customer a picture with the best definition or coverage. Often it is also possible to give clients "added value" by locating Cameras, and utilising lenses which are able, not only to view the area of concern, but also give peripheral vision of other points of interest.
During a visit to a school there was a camera at each end of the 30m corridors. These cameras had standard lenses and were providing facial recognition for the 3.5m of corridor nearest the cameras. This is the case in 95% of the systems we audit. If a pupil came out of classroom, committed a misdemeanour and then returned to the classroom there was no possibility of of knowing who they were. By setting the cameras to view the opposite end of the corridor and the careful choice of lenses the cameras would have been able to provide facial recognition for half of the corridor, enabling the whole corridor to be viewed with pupils being recognised. Instead of having recognition for 7m all 30m could have been properly viewed providing a 428% increase in effectiveness. This is just one of many differences when a system is designed correctly. Our experience as CCTV Consultants is that in the vast majority of cases companies are simply sticking cameras on walls and pointing them in the general direction with little or no understanding the optical science necessary to correctly design a CCTV system.

It is always best to contact us via E-mail through our reply page. This enables us to make sure that the person or company with the most suitable expertise is put in touch with you.
Cameras Work
As statistics point to major reductions in the amount of crime being committed where there are cameras installed you will begin to appreciate why CCTV is seen by many as the best system for deterrent and detection.
We are sure that you would wish to avoid having to catch those who are perpetrating crime against your organisation. Generally, once a Camera system is installed, it will only be fools who attempt to perpetrate offences within its field of view. These are often caught but for the majority it will provide a very high level of deterrence.

No. 1 Indiana dominates Central Connecticut State
Zeller scores 19, grabs 19 rebounds for Hoosiers
BLOOMINGTON, Ind. — No. 1 Indiana 100, Central Connecticut State 69: Preseason National Player of the Year Cody Zeller scored 19 points and grabbed a career-high 19 rebounds for the seventh double-double of his career to lead the host Hoosiers.
Junior guard Victor Oladipo added 15 points, nine rebounds and a career-high five steals for Indiana (9-0), which used a 23-2 run midway through the first half to break the game open. The spurt was punctuated by an end-to-end drive and power dunk by Oladipo over forward Terrell Allen that brought the Assembly Hall crowd to its feet and increased Indiana's lead to 39-18.
Junior guard Matt Hunter had a career-high 40 points, including 6-of-11 3-pointers, for Central Connecticut State (4-4), which didn't start a player taller than 6-6 and was outrebounded, 52-25, by the Hoosiers.
Oladipo also played strong defense on Blue Devil guard Kyle Vinales, who entered the game as the nation's top scorer with a 25.9 average. Vinales finished with seven points on 3-of-15 shooting.
Senior forward Christian Watford, making his 103rd start for the Hoosiers, finished with a team-high 21 points while forward Will Sheehey added 12 points and six rebounds.
GAME NOTEBOOK: Indiana came into the game leading the nation in scoring (87.8) and point differential (plus 31.8). … Hoosier sophomore F Austin Etherington had to be taken off the court on a stretcher with an a left knee injury after a collision under the basket with Allen. … Central Connecticut State, which came into the game leading the nation in free throw shooting at 83.6 percent, went 13-of-16 from the line (81.3).
