Hello, Shapelings! This is A Sarah, reporting from amidst a sea of boxes. (Well, actually it's more of a puddle of boxes at this point, hooray!)
As usual, a lengthy preamble and personal anecdote: As I've mentioned before, we recently moved to a different area of the country, and I'm just now starting my first faculty job. Because I'm young and female – and because I've been peppered with advice over the years about What! Not! To! Do! If! You're! A! Young! Female! Faculty! Member! — I've been paying closer-than-usual attention to my self-presentation, knowing that my colleagues and students are forming first impressions that will be hard to undo later.
Attention to self-presentation, honestly, still fills me with anxiety and dread; I feel as though I'm always "on" and can never relax, and I berate myself whenever I do something that accidentally gives away power or otherwise gives the impression I wasn't going for. That said, I have found that, this time around, I'm able to relegate some pieces of advice to the list of Things I've Decided Not To Care About Because They Aren't Worth It To Me To Try And Change At The Moment.
So, for example, if it's really true (as I heard once) that one cannot be young and female and warm and friendly in class and be taken seriously… well, then, too bad for me and my institution, because my default warmth and friendliness is not something I'm willing to spend time changing. For the record, I don't actually think that rule holds true — though I can squint and see where it comes from. But my point is: even if it IS true that I must never smile while teaching? The amount of effort and emotional energy it would require for me to change my personality so thoroughly would leave me with nothing left for my students, my colleagues, my family, my friends, or my own well-being. Which would not be my fault, and which would suck. But people's lives are complicated. One person may have the energy and circumstances and privilege that enable them to do something that would exhaust another person. Personality transplant, under oppressively gendered circumstances, in exchange for success in the academy? Not a tradeoff I can make. Someone else probably can; not me.
On the other hand, there's apologizing. I tend to apologize too much. I learned early on that it was a way to keep people from being mad at me when I wanted something they didn't think I should want or didn't understand, or my personality didn't appeal to them, or I was smarter than they found congenial. As an adult, this habit no longer serves me well; and it is of course a function of sexism that I ever acquired it in the first place. In my new job, am I willing to try and keep my gendered habit of apologizing in check? Well… yeah, I can do that. That's an area where, for me, a modest amount of effort actually results in some noticeable change; but maybe more importantly, I actually find it life-enhancing to remind myself periodically that, no, I have nothing to be sorry for. I suppose it's a kind of self-improvement (in the sense that it improves my life); but for me, it doesn't require any kind of punitive understanding that I was BAAAAD before and now I'm trying to get GOOOOOD.
In a different category, I think, is dressing up for work. Which I'm also able to do fairly easily, and which I currently do, because it seems to go a long way toward causing people to perceive me as a competent colleague and teacher. Of course this ability — less so, I think, than not apologizing so damn much — is clearly a function of my class privilege and thin privilege. (I'm not thin, but it's fairly easy to find US size 14 women's business wear.) And so I sit uneasily with that, wondering what exactly I'm colluding with by dressing up, wishing that it weren't so, and telling myself that old story about how I'll do this to get tenure and then work to change things. But right now, dressing up is a tradeoff I'm willing to make, and I'll keep reevaluating.
Anyway, making these kinds of conscious tradeoffs with respect to self-presentation — where I decide what things might make my life easier and better, without requiring of me huge amounts of energy or a script of self-loathing — has got me thinking about a little phrase you hear from time to time, usually when someone is trying to encourage you to devote huge amounts of your time and energy to the self-improvement scheme they want you to embark upon.
"You're worth it."
Like many Weight Watchers alumni, I once heard, and used, the phrase "worth it" in connection with dieting. I proclaimed I was "worth the effort" (not to mention the considerable financial expense and time drain) of staying on program. I'm "putting myself first," I said. I'm "doing this for me." I'm "taking charge of my life," and so on and so on and on and on and on. And of course, all of these sentiments are just repetitions of what we all hear on diet commercials — albeit phrased, not in dainty "I" statements, but in brash imperatives, needling interrogatives, and pious testimonials. Put yourself first! Take charge of your life! I did it for myself! Aren't you worth it?
And, Jiminy Christmas, what a ridiculously messed-up sentiment.
On the one hand, it's ridiculous on the very face of it — in ways that we could all probably articulate without much trouble. I mean, really, Weight Watchers meeting leader? I'm "worth" the time and hassle of impressing people who wouldn't like me otherwise (because, goody, they're the ones whose favor I want!)? And I continue to be "worth" that effort even when the chance that it will have the desired effect is close to zero and it takes a major toll on my sense of well-being? I'm "worth" a self-defeating and time-consuming regimen undertaken for the purpose of gaining the approval of people who don't see value in me as I am now? AWESOME, thanks!
But there are two deeper, and possibly even-more-ridiculous aspects to "You're worth it" that I hadn't really thought through before… both of which bear on self-presentation and intersectionality. So the idea I'm currently playing around with is the idea that, hidden in all the fake-empowerment "worth it" nonsense are two dangerous and disingenuous – and somewhat contradictory – sentiments that need to be exposed. Here's my best first guess at what they are, but by all means let's clarify them further in the comments:
Sentiment 1: Attention: Women In General. We, the spokespeople of the dominant culture, know best how you should negotiate the obstacles you encounter by virtue of being female in a sexist society."
With the blanket assessment that weight loss — a very specific kind of attention to self-presentation — should strike you as being something "worth" your time and energy, these spokespeople presume to know your circumstances enough to dictate what kind of tradeoffs you should make in your life. Now: that's temporarily leaving aside the fact that (as we all know) dieting almost never results in lasting weight loss!! But hey, you know, let's say that it did. Let's say dieting was one way to reliably improve your chance at being seen as more competent or attractive or valuable — within a system that codes women as being less valuable than men, less competent than men, and existing to look pretty to men.
Even if dieting "worked," who are they to dictate which obstacles are most worth your attention right now? PARTICULARLY when the obstacles you have to steer your way around were PUT IN PLACE BY ONE OR MORE SYSTEMS OF OPPRESSION which… oh, hey!… they speak for! Bah. Spokespeople, you have no damn clue what I have to negotiate, any more than I have a clue what the woman next to me is negotiating or the trade-offs she's able and willing to make. (Unless she tells me, in which case it would be nice if I'd shut up and listen and not pronounce about what she should do to become new and improved.) To the extent that I'm able even to influence the way I'm perceived by others: how do YOU know that my time and energy isn't better spent on some other way of dealing with this shit? I'll tell you what that time and energy is "worth," thank you… IF I ever even decide that YOU are worth my time, which I just mightn't.
Of course, it's not reeeally all women who are "worth it," is it? On a different frequency than the above announcement (directed, ostensibly, to women in general), comes this announcement to a select few:
Sentiment 2. "Attention, Very Specific Group of Women: See those unworthy people who can't spend hours a day at the gym or hundreds of dollars on a weight loss program? Take my word that we can identify them by their fatness. Ew, right? What's wrong with them, that they don't have extra cash and time to spend working out? Show, with your thin body, that you're someone who is "worth" money and time."
Now, this one has of course bubbled up from the pits of hell. It basically says: Hey, you (presumed middle- or upper-class woman)! You are "worth it" exactly because there are others who aren't, and you're different from them. Anyone with eyes and discerning taste can tell the difference, amirite? Plus, all that money and leisure time that enables gym-going and calorie-counting and meeting-attending to be a viable option for you? You had it coming, because you are just soooooo worth it. Being worth it means you never have to consider that, maybe, just maybe, you got some of those perks by being born into them, and not through your own morally perfect decisions. So yeah, go ahead and draw ridiculous analogies — like saying that some people spend money on shoes (OMG SO SAAAD!), but YOU choose to spend your time on your health (as if you couldn't also buy designer shoes if you wanted them!) No, it's all FAIR AND SQUARE WHAT PRIVILEGE LA LA LA LA LA I CAN'T HEAR YOU!!!
As Paul Campos, among others, has noted:
"Americans are obsessed with fat because fatness has become a symbol for poverty, downward mobility, nonwhiteness and socially marginal status in general. Fear and hatred of fat has very little to do with the health risks associated with being "overweight" and "obese" (which are wholly imaginary and highly exaggerated, respectively), and everything to do with the symbolic meanings that thin and fat bodies have in this culture.
The fundamental strategy of the war on fat is to universalize the attitudes of middle- and upper-class white American women toward weight, food, dieting and exercise." (emphasis mine)
(As if you really needed a current example of this very phenomenon.)
So I think that's where a chirpy "You're worth it!" eventually lands us. Any tension between the (faux-universally-applicable) first sentiment and the (very-specifically-targeted) second sentiment is resolved, if we translate it thus:
"I don't know who you are or what your life is like. But I'm pretty sure that we, the spokespeople of the dominant culture, can pronounce authoritatively upon what you need to care about — and even on how you should best negotiate the oppressive systems we help sustain. And, in that vein, we have agreed that you should want to be a thin white straight cis femme moneyed woman, who takes what we say as authoritative, and who tries to improve herself for our sakes. You're worth it! You're welcome!"
That's my best, and very wordy, guess. What do you think, Shapelings? Is this the real work that "You're worth it!" is doing? Are there other things it's doing? How do you decide whether and how to care about self-presentation? What's the best way to think about being "worth it"? Alternately, feel free just to talk about how "worth it" you REALLY are — just because you're awesome, and not because of the degree to which you meet someone else's oppressive standards.

The Best Action Anime of All Time
Action anime is hard to define, but if a show has car chases and epic battles, then it probably fits the genre's description. For example, fantasy anime and mecha anime such as Neon Genesis Evangelion typically fall under that umbrella. Here are the best action anime series of all time, ranked by the votes of anime fans like you. We want to hear your opinion about the shows on this poll, so please give any show you've seen and upvote or downvote depending on whether or not you would recommend it to another anime fan. What exactly makes a series an action anime? Shows with emphasis on sword fighting and heroes dueling like Berserk and Fate/Zero are classified as action, but so are shows that are more crime focused, like Psycho Pass and Cowboy Bebop. Perhaps you could say that if the action is the primary vehicle for the show's plot to move forward, than that series could be classified as action anime. So, what is the best fighting anime? We've included the top action anime we could think of, but we're not perfect! Add your favorite show to this list if it's missing, so that other people can vote on it too.

Out of frustration, though, sometimes good stuff pops out. Today in Algebra 2 the children were working in groups of four exploring transformations of functions (BL)*. This wasn't the kind of exercise with a group component grafted on to individual work - it was essential that they compare the four different graphs to draw meaningful conclusions. My classes had five or six groups each, and most of them were functioning brilliantly - helping each other troubleshoot, refining each other's wording - it was music. Really.
But in fourth period, I had a group that was sitting there, staring at their calculators in silence, waiting for, what, I don't know. My fed-up-ed-ness came over me and I towered over the group, intimidatingly, saying, "Do you know her name? No? Why don't you introduce yourself, like a normal person?
The moral: sometimes it's my job to be an overbearing jerk. And sometimes I need to remind myself that the children are children.
*Credit for original lesson I shamelessly repurposed goes to my colleague, Dina.

How to Display Tasks (or Any Other Preferred Folder) "on Startup" in Microsoft Outlook
When you install Microsoft Outlook right out of the box, the program nearly always is set up to display your Inbox on start-up. So it's tempting to begin there every morning. But as you know, starting with your Inbox almost compels you to focus on the emails you haven't seen yet, or the ones with an approaching deadline. This frequently-bogus "sense of urgency" can bog you down and start your day off with a feeling of overwhelm and frustration.
Relax. Those emails will be there when you get back to them later in the day. They aren't going anywhere.
I strongly recommend that you tell Outlook to take you to a place that's less daunting and measurably more serene, so that your day doesn't feel as though it's running away with you before you've even settled into your chair. By doing this, your renewed sense of control will keep your stress levels low, your heart beating at a more normal rate, and your job satisfaction will escalate. It feels great to know you're sailing your own ship.
Open Outlook with the Tasks Folder Displayed in Seven Simple Steps
From the Main Menu:
- Select "Tools"
- Select "Options"
- Select "Other"
- Select "Advanced Options"
- Next to the "Startup in this folder" field, select "Browse…"
- Scroll down to the "Tasks" folder, or any other folder you prefer, and select it.
- Click OK three times as the system backs out of the dialog boxes and you're done!
Now you can enjoy coming to work, getting things on your own Tasks list underway (and actually completing some of them) before you take on the cares and concerns of others. In fact, if you share this set-up idea with co-workers and they adopt the practice, you may find everyone feeling a renewed sense of control and fulfillment, and thanking you for it.
C'mon now. You know that if anything in your inbox were truly time-sensitive, as in "I need this in an hour!" your phone would ring or a colleague or superior would stop by your work station to let you know it. So remember: Email is a convenience, a tool, a way to communicate in a more leisurely manner. It is almost never as IMPORTANT as your other tasks!
I bet you feel better already. Have a productive day!

Pet heater causes fire, sheriff's dept. says
1 resident suffers minor smoke inhalation in nighttime blaze
MILTON, Wis. — One person suffered minor smoke inhalation and a house was destroyed by fire in Milton Friday night, authorities said.
At 10:30 p.m. Rock County sheriff's deputies and Milton firefighters responded to a report of a house on fire at 11607 N. Highway 26 in Milton. Crews at the scene reported heavy smoke and flames were visible.
Deputies said all occupants escaped. One member of the family was treated for minor smoke inhalation, but was released from the scene, according to the report. the sheriff's department said several animals were still inside the residence, and it appeared possible that some perished in the fire.
"It was reported that one of the residents was treated for smoke inhalation," said Sgt. Steve Selby of the Milton Police Department. "It was also reported that there were some pets inside the residence that were not able to get rescued."
Patrol Division Sgt. Mark Thompson said the preliminary investigation shows the fire started near an outdoor heater used for pets, but remains under investigation.
The Rock County Sheriff's Department said the residence was a total loss but a financial estimate for the damage was not available Saturday morning.
Emergency crews were still at the scene about 2 a.m. and the sheriff's department said they were not expected to clear for "a few more hours," according to a news release received early Saturday.
Eight area fire agencies responded to the incident including Edgerton, Janesville, Evansville, Orfordville, Fort Atkinson, Whitewater, and Jefferson.18577516

Red Wagon Agents
We currently do not love our logo/corporate image. We are a team of real estate agents who want to brand ourselves under the same 'team' name. We specialize in residential real estate and represent buyers as well as sellers. We focus heavily on customer service throughout the process, and long after as well. We are solid professionals with years of experience. We approach our jobs as professionals, we are always prepared, highly knowledgeable in our field of expertise, and extremely attentive to our clients needs. We derive much of our business from referrals and repeat business and thus concentrate great efforts on making sure that our clients are impressed by our efforts. We also strive to be approachable and fun and want to make sure that our image reflects that as well. We have always taken efforts to assure that our fun personalities shine through to make sure that we can't be labeled as stuffy. We try to balance both the professional and fun aspects of our team and would love our image to reflect the balance. We chose the 'Red Wagon' image because of the iconic nature of its image and its association to pleasant and fun childhood memories.Thanks for your helping us put our image together. I have some other immediate work for the winner of the contest. I have postcards, letterhead, business cards and the like.
Our audience includes buyers and seller of homes in a wide range of demographics. Because of this, we market to geographic locations to reach our audience.
We need a logo that is bold and recognizable, professional but not stuffy. We need an identity that has wide utilization possibilities, and can be successfully utilized across nearly all platforms of marketing mediums. (both dark and light backgrounds) We intend to use it on 'everything' (cards, business papers, brochures, yard signs, marketing mailers, email newsletters, website, car wraps, t-shirts and a myriad of marketing giveaways.) It would be really nice if the logo could have a particular element, which could be branded to stand alone to represent us in some applications. We will provide the best feedback we can, please feel free to ask any questions that you feel might better guide your efforts on our behalf.

Mission and History
Yeshiva University's guiding vision serves as the premise for the educational mission of Ferkauf Graduate School of Psychology: to train highly qualified professional psychologists in the fields of clinical, school and school-clinical child psychology for the doctor of psychology degree; and to train skilled researchers in the fields of developmental and clinical health psychology for the doctor of philosophy degree.
To these ends, our students receive training in the basic skills common to all psychologists and quality training in the specialty fields to prepare them to apply established knowledge toward prevention and healing, and to advance knowledge in those fields. The school developed from the University's School of Education and Community Administration (1948–1957) and Graduate School of Education (1957–1965). It was named in 1965 to honor the vision and generosity of Eugene and Estelle Ferkauf and later became Ferkauf Graduate School of Humanities and Social Sciences (1966–1977) and Ferkauf Graduate School (1977–1982).
Development as a school of psychology began in 1975, with the joining of the Departments of Psychology and Educational Psychology to form the University-wide Department of Psychology. The School of Professional Psychology was established at Ferkauf Graduate School in 1979 in response to changing patterns of training in psychology and new patterns of student demand for such training.
In 1980, we received approval to grant the Doctor of Psychology degree in clinical psychology and school psychology.
In 2007, we celebrated our 50th anniversary (PDF), a milestone marked by numerous festivities, including a gala honoring our founding benefactors as well as other members of the Ferkauf family. We extend the invitation to you to join our family as well and to take your first step toward changing your life—and the lives of others.

Remi meets Punch repeat breeding expected around November 5, 2013. These pups will be ready to go home right before Christmas!! This litter is sure to impress combining some of the top bloodlines in the country. The pedigree includes 13 APLA titled dogs, 10 of which are GMPR titled, and 3 of which are APLA Hall of Fame dogs. These pups are bred for a strong natural point, intelligence, drive, and the right look! Punch and Remi match up perfectly and will produce a combination of a bird dog with a ton of drive and also a companion that you and your family can take wherever you go. These pups come with all the health clearance EIC/CNM clear and also a 28 month guarantee on hips, elbows, and eyes.
Punch is APLA Certified Pointing Retriever (CPR) that spends a ton of time in the field. He is used as a professional guide for Pheasant Crest Lodge near Kimball, SD where he gets a ton of bird exposure. They hunt hard 5 days a week from the beginning of October thru December. He literally sees thousands of birds every year. Punch is the perfect combination of looks, trainability, and drive. He has a ton of point and can go strong all day long. Punch is a 65 pound powerhouse that is lean, muscular, and has a nice broad chest and boxy head. When all the other dogs are starting to wear out after a long day in the field, Punch is still going strong. His bloodlines include: GMPR MPR Rik's Risky Raider MH, GMPR PDB Angel's Blackjack Kate JH, GMPR High Sierra Kodi MH, GMPR Sir's Mighty Eli SH, GMPR Blackwater Lexus (45 all age pts and 19 derby pts), GMPR Wannamaker's Hot Tubb SH, CPR TDK's Putting for Birdie JH, and CPR High Caliber's Rock Star just to name a few. Punch has a great mix of APLA, AKC, and Field Trial dogs in his background. He comes with all the health clearances EIC/CNM clear, Hips-Excellent, and Elbows/Eyes- Normal.
Remi is my own personal female I kept out of my second litter. After hearing all the success the first Belle and Baker breeding produced, I couldn't resist keeping a female the 2nd time around. Remi is a 55 pound female with all the looks. She is extremely muscular and has that "Raider" front end with a nice boxy head. Everywhere I go, I always get comments on how nice looking she is. Her lineage includes GMPR Spioncop Christos Magic Baker SH, GMPR Grits of Black Forest MH, and GMPR MHR Rik's Risky Raider MH just to name a few. She comes from some of the top bloodlines in the country and her looks and athleticism show it. She is an extremely birdy and stylish hunter. Remi has a solid natural point and her marking ability is second to none. Her strongest attribute is her intelligence, I am simply amazed at times how quickly she picks up on things, and how little training she needs with certain things before she has it mastered. She is a very stealthy hunter in the field, using her intelligence to weave in and out of the thickest cover to find smartest of birds. Remi has a solid nose and is extremely fun to watch when she gets on a bird. In the right conditions, she's one of those dogs that can wind a bird from 30-40 yards away and find it with pin point accuracy. Remi is primarily used as an upland dog, hunting in Iowa, South Dakota, and North Dakota. Remi loves the water and has a big entry. Her marking, retrieving, and obedience translate in to a great waterfowl. By day she is a hunting/retrieving machine, but by night she can come in the house and settle in with the family. She loves attention and is very gentle by nature! Remi is EIC/CNM-Clear, Hips-Excellent, and Elbows/Eyes-Normal.
A $250 deposit is required to hold your pup. For more information on this litter call 712-441-4691 or email me at firstname.lastname@example.com. For more information and pics check out my website www.rocksolidpointinglabs.blogspot.com

We all know that we should be careful about what kind of information we put online. However, some applications exist purely to store some critical information like Basecamp, Google Apps, Mint, etc. I think I'm good at sensing whether a company is trustworthy or not, but it's pure intuition and I'd like to base my assumptions on something a little more solid.
Is there a way to determine which companies are trustworthy or should I just go with it and use the law in case something bad happens?

Our 15", 16" and 18" length necklaces all come in our Fine Chain with the 20" and 23" length chains in our 'Everyday' Chain which is slightly heavier in weight. All items in the La Luna Rose shop clearly label the length of the chain used for that design. Unless otherwise stated, all necklaces are adjustable by 1"/2.5cm in length.

It is important to note that different countries have different sizing methods.
Most of the world goes by number sizing which is the easiest and most accurate.
Because we sell our jewellery all over the world, we have decided to stick with number sizing and have put together the below chart to help you out. The most common size for ladies is a size 7 and size 10 for man. If you are unsure of your size you can measure the inner diameter of one of your own rings and refer to the below measurements.
Feel free to email us at email@example.com if you have any further issues.
Please also note that if you are ordering a wide band ring, its usually a good idea to go up a size.
Size 6 = Ring Sizes L, M, N. Inner Diameter measures 16.5mm
Size 7 = Ring Sizes N, O, P. Inner Diameter measures 17.3mm
Size 8 = Ring Sizes P, Q, R. Inner Diameter measures 18.1mm
Size 9 = Ring Sizes R, S, T. Inner Diameter measures 18.9mm
If you require a ring in a different size in any of the designs offered, please send us an email here and we will see what our clever silversmiths can do for you.
La Luna Rose chain bracelets fit much like the beaded bracelets with an adjustable clasp. Therefore they have two/three size options for you. They sit at a total circumference of approx 15cm & 17.5cm
Petites Bracelets - We have a number of options for our bracelets for little girls - they're our top seller and little girls just love them! Our Beaded tassel bracelets have an adjustable sizing system and comfortably fit a little girl from aged 3 - 14. Girls 14 and upwards are recommended to fit our Adults collection however if they have small wrists they will still fit the Petites range. To measure a little girls wrist, please wrap a piece around their wrist with 2 fingers underneath. Mark the paper, and lay flat to measure with a ruler.
Our Petites Sideshow Sally Bracelets are adjustable in length and open up to 18cm in circumference. If you don't have a direct wrist to measure, this bracelet system is almost fail safe and accommodates almost all wrist sizes.
Our Petites Sunday Sandy Bracelets measure 12cm in length with 3 options of length within the clasp system.
Our La Luna Fiesta Bracelets measure 14cm in length/circumference and all have the ability to have any of our La Luna Rose charms added to them.
Our Petites Chain Bracelets measure 15cm in length with an smaller loop at 12.5cm. If you need larger, feel free to order an adults size.

We would recommend a size 3.5 for girls 6-8 and a size 4.5 for girls 8-13 and a size 5-6 for 14-17year olds. However - every finger and body is different! Any questions, just send us and email here and we would be happy to help.

A 1929 riot at the Colorado State Penitentiary in Canon City left 13 dead. On October 3, a group of five convicts led by Danny Daniels captured and disarmed several guards. As they took refuge in Cellhouse No. 3, another group of convicts set fire to the mess hall, two cellhouses and the chapel.
After prison authorities blockaded Cellhouse No. 3, Daniels threatened to kill the captive guards unless his group was set free. Warden William Crawford refused the demands. Instead, Crawford called for the National Guard and the police from Colorado Springs and Pueblo.
When Daniels' ultimatum failed, he began shooting the guards. The warden then attempted to dynamite the cellhouse. When the blast failed to breach the wall, tear gas was thrown through the windows from the roof. Fearing capture, Daniels killed his four companions and himself. In all, eight guards and the five prisoners died.

2013 Honda Civic Sedan And Coupe Models Remain Only Small Cars To Achieve Top Iihs Small Overlap Frontal Crash Ratings
The 2013 Honda Civic Sedan and Coupe remain the only small cars to earn the top rating of GOOD in the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety's (IIHS) stringent small overlap front crash test. The Civic Sedan and Coupe are also the only small cars to earn both the highest possible rating of TOP SAFETY PICK+ from the IIHS and the top 5-Star Overall Vehicle Score in the NHTSA's New Car Assessment Program (NCAP).
"Honda continues to lead the industry in crash test performance, and after watching the videos, I think every compact car shopper should view the results of the new IIHS small overlap front crash tests before deciding on their next car," said Mike Accavitti, senior vice president of auto operations at American Honda Motor Co., Inc. "For customers looking to buy a compact car that achieves an overall GOOD rating in the IIHS small overlap frontal test, Civic is currently the only choice."
The Civic Sedan, significantly reengineered for 2013, is equipped with Honda's next generation Advanced Compatibility Engineering™ (ACE™ II) body structure, which plays a critical role in making Civic the first small car to earn a TOP SAFETY PICK+ crash safety rating, and the first—and to date, only—to earn the highest rating of GOOD in the IIHS' new small overlap front crash test (sometimes called a 'narrow offset' test). This aggressive test is designed to simulate what happens when the front corner of a vehicle collides with another vehicle or an object such as a tree or utility pole at high speed. The reinforced ACE™ body structure found on the 2013 Civic further enhances the absorption of frontal crash energy through a wider range of these offset and oblique collision scenarios.
Additional standard safety equipment on all Civic models include Vehicle Stability Assist™ (VSA®) with traction control; an Anti-lock Braking System (ABS); side curtain airbags; dual-stage, multiple-threshold front airbags; and driver and front passenger side airbags.
Honda Safety Leadership
Honda has a long history of leadership in the development and application of advanced technologies and designs to enhance the safety of all road users, including automobile occupants, motorcycle riders and pedestrians. The company operates two of the world's most sophisticated crash test facilities and is responsible for numerous pioneering efforts in the areas of crashworthiness, airbag technology, collision compatibility and pedestrian safety. This commitment to safety is rooted in Honda's goal to be a company that society wants to exist, and it complements the company's leadership in reducing vehicle emissions, improving fuel efficiency and advancing alternatives to gasoline.

The right piece of art captivates, evokes a memory or a thought, can be re-assuring yet haunting and "still" the mind for deeper contemplation. In the spa, it can transform, promote healing, inspire and connect your guests to the space.
When selecting artwork, consider your space and the mood you want to convey not only for your guests but for yourself and your staff. Artwork is personal so be sure select pieces that you feel strongly about.
Size and color are the two major criteria for selecting art to fit its surroundings. For any particular space, art that is too large will overwhelm and art that is too small will be lost and look out of proportion. The bolder the art, the more room it needs to breathe.
Cluster artwork in groups for maximum effect. Don't be afraid to pair photography with abstract art and various mediums of different shapes and sizes to create a unique and sophisticated focal point.
The right lighting is key for showcasing art at its best. You may find that placing a picture light or track head above a painting is all the art needs to exhibit its brilliance.
Recessed track lighting provides illumination for this serene focal point
Remember, selecting and displaying art for the spa is an art in itself. Experiment to learn what works and what doesn't from wall placement and color to texture and style. You'll be rewarded with interesting wall decor that stands the test of time.

As I grabbed our last bag off the carousel, my mobile rang with a call from my sister C. This was the first I heard about the devastating earthquake in Sichuan, China. We had considered traveling there, based on a recommendation from a Sichuan local we'd met while visiting the rice paddies, but the stomach flu cut our travel schedule a day or so short. So, we were never anywhere really near the danger zone (though some did feel it in Beijing, I understand).
Thanks for everyone who contacted us to make sure we were safe. This adds a sad note to our great experiences in China, with the warmth of the Chinese people and the beauty of the country. When I visit a place, I get an emotional connection to it, making it more real for me, and I hope we can somehow help… though with so many lives lost, so much destruction, it's a little hard knowing we can only help the survivors, and then only so much. M and I feel really lucky. (Sorry, this comes out rather clumsy, but I don't really know what to say in the face of something like this… I guess I just wanted to let everyone know we're safe.)

Brand name: Not yet established
Generic name: cobicistat, (formerly GS-9350), or COBI
Class: PK enhancer
Manufacturer: Gilead Sciences, www.gilead.com, (800) GILEAD-5 (445-3235)
AWP: TBD; drug not yet approved at press time.
Standard Dose: Not yet established. 150 mg used in research. Cobicistat is not an HIV drug, but is used to increase the levels of elvitegravir (investigational INSTI, see elvitegravir) and HIV protease inhibitors, which will allow for lower and fewer doses of these medications while maintaining their effectiveness. Take missed dose as soon as possible, unless it is closer in time to your next dose. Do not double up on your next dose.
Potential side effects and toxicity: Seen in clinical studies: diarrhea, nausea, lipid elevations (increases in cholesterol and triglycerides), creatine kinase, hematuria (red blood cells in the urine -- urine may look reddish), increased serum creatinine, and decreased estimated glomerular filtration rate (e-GFR) -- the last two are signs of possible kidney malfunction. The increase in serum creatinine is seen within days of initiating cobicistat, but it is reversible and kidney function returns to normal within a few days after stopping cobicistat. The decreased e-GFR appears to not impact health. Available data are limited due to investigational drug status.
Potential drug interactions: Cobicistat is a potent CYP3A4 inhibitor and is likely to increase blood levels of any medications that use this enzyme system to be metabolized. The drug interaction profile will likely not be as extensive as Norvir's because cobicistat only affects CYP3A4, unlike Norvir, which affects other CYP enzymes resulting in more drug interactions. Again, available data are limited due to investigational drug status.
More information: Still in experimental studies, cobicistat is not an HIV medication, but a drug used to boost blood levels of other medications. As such, it is being developed as an alternative to Norvir, an HIV medication used for this same purpose. Specifically, cobicistat and Norvir boost blood levels of HIV protease inhibitors, allowing for fewer pills and (usually) once-daily dosing. Norvir can be difficult to tolerate, has a long list of drug interactions, and its manufacturer angered the HIV community by raising its price 400% one year to make up for its widely used smaller booster dose (initially, it was used in higher doses to fight HIV, like other PIs). Cobicistat is in three advanced Phase 3 trials and Gilead hopes to file the NDA (new drug application) to the FDA during the second quarter of 2012. As an alternative to Norvir, COBI's development has created a lot of excitement. Unfortunately, it has the increased cholesterol and triglycerides of Norvir, along with some of the stomach upsets. There are also concerns about a possible negative impact on the kidneys, although further findings have been reassuring. The 10% increase in creatinine levels that was seen in the first two weeks of study did not continue to increase out to 48 weeks, and was reversible upon stopping cobicistat. Gilead is also creating a single-tablet regimen with COBI in it (see the "Quad" page). Such is COBI's promise that two other HIV drug manufacturers have signed agreements with Gilead to create co-formulations of their drugs with COBI in it. These include Prezista from Janssen Therapeutics and Reyataz from Bristol-Myers Squibb (BMS). While the agreement with BMS is for a boosted Reyataz pill, the agreement with Janssen is for a boosted Prezista pill, as well as a complete HIV regimen in one tablet that includes Prezista (darunavir), cobicistat, emtricitabine, and Gilead's GS-7340, an investigational pro-drug (inactive substance that metabolizes into active form in the body) of its popular Viread (tenofovir). Reyataz boosted by COBI has been studied compared to Norvir-boosted Reyataz. Gilead will submit the results from its 114 study (atazanavir/emtricitabine/tenofovir/cobicistat vs. atazanavir/emtricitabine/tenofovir/ritonavir) at a scientific conference this year. The 48-week data from this study showed that 85% of patients taking the cobicistat formulation achieved undetectable viral load of less than 50 copies/mL, compared to 87% of patients taking the Norvir one. At 48 weeks, there was similar efficacy, safety, and tolerability. See package insert when available for more complete information on potential side effects and interactions.
Doctor's Comments
Cobicistat is expected to be the first approved non-Norvir boosting agent, to be combined with PIs and elvitegravir. Its main advantage over Norvir is likely to be co-formulation: while Norvir is currently co-formulated only with lopinavir in the form of Kaletra, cobicistat may eventually be co-formulated with elvitegravir (including a single-tablet "Quad" regimen that will also contain tenofovir and emtricitabine), atazanavir, and darunavir. A second "quad" tablet containing darunavir, cobicistat, emtricitabine, and an investigational tenofovir pro-drug is also being developed, which, if successful, will be the first single-tablet PI-based regimen.

Activist's Comments
Talk about hopes and expectations being too high! Many of us were hoping this would rid us of the typical boosters that cause diarrhea -- the worst side effect there is, especially if you're out and about and an accident happens! Unfortunately, this new booster has many of the same side effects as the existing Norvir booster. One glimmer of hope (or a silver lining if you will) will be in co-formulations. Having everything in one pill helps reduce pill burden, and reduce co-pays and deductibles for those having to pay. At least we're getting more options out there, and that is always better.

A blood culture is a test to find an
infection in the blood. The blood does not normally have any bacteria or
fungi in it. A blood culture can show what bacteria or
fungi are in the blood.
A bacterial infection in the blood, called
bacteremia, can be serious because the blood can spread the bacteria to any
part of the body. A blood infection most often occurs with other serious
infections, such as those affecting the lungs,
kidneys, bowel,
gallbladder, or heart valves.
A blood
infection may also develop when the
immune system is weak. This can occur in infants and
older adults, and from disease (such as cancer or
AIDS) or from medicines (such as
corticosteroids or
chemotherapy) that change how well your body can fight
infections (immunity).
To test for an infection in the blood, a
sample of blood is collected and placed in a cup with special substances that
allow the bacteria or fungus to grow. The type of bacteria or fungus that grows
is checked with chemical tests and by looking at the culture under a
microscope. Two or three blood samples from different veins are often taken to
make sure a bacteria or fungus is not missed. If no bacteria or fungus grows,

A blood culture is a test to find an
infection in the blood. Most bacteria can be seen in the culture in 2 to 3
days, but some types can take 10 days or longer to show up. Fungus can take up
to 30 days to show up in the culture.
No bacteria or fungus is
found. Normal culture results are called negative.
Bacteria or fungus grows in
the culture. Abnormal culture results are called positive.
If bacteria are found in the culture, another test is
often done to find the best
antibiotic that will kill the bacteria. This is called
sensitivity or susceptibility testing. Sensitivity
testing is important so the blood infection is treated correctly. This also
helps prevent bacteria from becoming
resistant to antibiotics.

There are some smooth, fast, flowing trails, and for the more adventurous type, a few trails filled with rocks, roots, and drops. Finding a bike trail to suit your riding style is always easy in the Middle Tennessee area.

Hamilton Creek
There are two loops, the "lakeside" loop, which is approximately 3 miles long, with twists, turns, rocks, roots, and a few hills....and a longer, bit more intermediate/advanced 6.5 mile loop. Both trails are quite hilly, with plenty of layered rocks, roots to ride over, and a few trees to cross.
Hamilton Creek is considered one of the more "technical" trails in the Nashville area. The longer trail is basically just more of what the shorter is, with a one longer climb, and a long downhill section with large rocks, roots, trees, etc...great for honing technical skills. The trail is closed when wet... Read More...

Chickasaw Trace
Chickasaw is suitable for all levels of Mountain Bike riders - from expert racers to 5-year-olds. Several sections of trail have been identified with the signs being constructed and installed through an Eagle Scout project. The trail is a 7.75-mile serpentine loop.
If ridden in a clockwise direction from the trailhead at the MTB parking lot, the initial four miles are relatively flat and follow Knob Creek and the Duck River. Upon entering the "Trail of Tears", the final four miles become very difficult, also known as "technical" among Mountain Bike enthusiasts. The course is designed with several... Read More...

Montgomery Bell
The Montgomery Bell mountain bike trails consists of about 21 miles of trail with 2-3 miles more to be built before completion. The trail is located in a dedicated section of the park, on the north side of Highway 70. The trail is open only to mountain bikes.
The trail is divided into basically two sections; the east section with the easier trails (trail colors white, blue and red), and the west section (trail colors green and yellow) for advanced riders. The entire system is singletrack that winds through mature upland hardwood forest interspersed with large pine groves. The area is bisected by... Read More...

LOCK 4 Mountain
This 8.5 mile trail is considered a great scramble trail. Don't let the length scare you away. It's more of a riding trail than a technical trail. The singletrack is twisty and narrow at times with some 4X4 roads for high speed.
Yellow arrows mark the main trail. Since the park is on a peninsula, it's hard to get lost, although you may repeat parts of the trail if you don't pay attention. The trails are well maintained by the Lock 4 Trailblazers. Closed when wet... Read More...

Fairview is extremely fun to ride as it can be challenging and fast or easy and slow. You can tell this multi-use trail was created by Mountain bikers as the numerous bridge crossings, log stacks and other fun additions make this fun.
The only thing this trail lacks is a better map and clearly defined loop options. It seems 2 or 3 rides and you'll get it down.

The O Antiphons
Tonight is the first of the seven "Golden Nights" of Advent (Dec. 17-23) in which the O Antiphons are traditionally prayed.  Known in English primarily by their versification in O Come, O Come, Emmanuel, the O Antiphons (so-called because each begins with "O") each address Jesus with a unique Messianic title from Old Testament prophecy.  Each antiphon is prayed--chanted or spoken--on its corresponding night this week:
Hark! A Thrilling Voice Is Sounding
"Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand."
Reclaiming the Church Year
Sunday begins the season of Advent, and with it a new year in the Church's liturgical calendar.  Through the Advent, Christmas, Epiphany, Lent, and Easter seasons the Church centers its focus on the life of Christ, from his birth in Bethlehem to his sacrificial death, resurrection, and ascension to glory.  At Pentecost, attention turns to the life of the Church and its mission to the world--proclaiming Christ's saving Gospel to a sinful race.
Prosperity Preaching and the Stockdale Paradox
In his 2009 book The Survivors Club: The Secrets and Science that Could Save Your Life, Ben Sherwood describes an intriguing phenomenon known as the Stockdale Paradox (after Admiral James Stockdale, the highest-ranking P.O.W. of the Vietnam War), which suggests a counterintuitive link between optimism and survival: When [interviewer Jim Collins] asked Stockdale to explain which American prisoners did not survive captivity in Vietnam, the admiral replied, "Oh, that's easy. The optimists."

Hellbentclothingco necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 93 diseños de 20 diseñadores freelance.
Hell Bent Clothing Co. (emphasis on the "Hell Bent")
We are a new, up & coming brand of clothing, adorned with a collection of unique designs inspired by the classic pinstriping of early to mid-19th century America & traditional Hot Rod & Rockabilly symbols, but with a modern edge, keeping the designs clean & edgy & the clothing simple/non-busy. See the attached design example.
We plan to make basic casual wear, such as t-shirts, sweatshirts, tank-tops & ball caps. We also want to do some automotive-/mechanic-specific styles, such as "Dickies"-style jackets & button-up shirts. Also accessories, such as belts, wallets & purses.
Feel free to check out the following websites for the general feel of the company kulture:
Hot Rod enthusiasts, Rat-Roders, Lowriders, Bikers & the Rockabilly kulture.
Men & women of ages 25-50 years.
Internet-savvy individuals, as sales will initially be internet/mail-order based, with the hope of expanding to retail wholesale.
Logo design should be appealing to trendy young adults, but not be offensive to a slightly older crowd.
We are looking for a brandable logo that will appear on the clothing/accessories, as well as promotional items. It should convey the tough, edgy style of the company without the use of literal references to the word "hell" or have the logo be overwhelmed by car characateurs.
The style of the logo should blend well with or compliment the pinstriping of the clothing designs, but also be able to stand on its own as a design in & of itself.
The logo could combine a graphic/symbol, as well as the company name, or just be the name itself. Either way, it needs to be a recognizable symbol of the company and work in both small & large formats (the small format could be just the graphic/symbol alone).
The logo should be designed in such as a way that its colors could be changed out to compliment the clothing design. We prefer no more than 2-colors in the design, but one that could be printed in a single color, if needed.
Be creative, be edgy, but keep in mind the clean & classic nature of the clothing designs.
File required in Adobe Illustrator format (.ai) & jpeg for quick-reference.
Please separate the colors in the design, so that they can be changed easily.

Cupcakes to welcome my favorite season.
I love Fall. It is far an away my favorite season. I anxiously await every year for the heat of summer to break and the leaves to change. For the record, summer is my least favorite season. It appears Fall has finally arrived in the DC area. The air has a cool crispness and the leaves are starting to get their first hint of orange. I love it. These cupcakes are the perfect addition to welcome in my favorite season. They are not pumpkin, which is very traditional for Fall, but include the warm spices and make your house smell incredible! I promise to post some pumpkin recipes this Fall but in the meantime you should really give these a try. I made half with raisins and half without...as you know if you have been following this blog for a while that I am definitely not a fan of raisins in my food. The raisins add additional sweetness and actually change the flavor profile of the cupcakes. I took a poll and people seemed to love both so it is really personal preference.
Orange Spice Cupcakes
recipe from Baked Perfection
makes approximately 15 cupcakes
2 1/2 cups flour
4 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons ginger
1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
1/4 teaspoon cardamom
Zest of large orange
1 cup buttermilk
3 eggs, beaten
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup butter, softened
1 cup sugar
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup raisins (optional)
Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Fill cupcake pan with paper liners and set aside.
In a small sauce pan bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Place raisins in boiling water and reduce to simmer. Simmer for 3 - 5 minutes and drain. Set raisins aside.
In a small bowl whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, cardamom, and orange zest. In a separate bowl combine the buttermilk, beaten eggs, and vanilla extra. In a large bowl beat together the butter, sugar, and brown sugar. Slowly add the flour and milk mixtures alternating between the two until just combined. Gently fold in the raisins. Pour batter into prepared cupcake tin. Bake 20-25 minutes until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean. Cool completely before frosting.
Cinnamon Cream Cheese Frosting
recipe by Baked Perfection
1/2 stick unsalted butter, room temperature
4 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
pinch of salt
Beat butter and cream cheese with until fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes. Slowly add sugar, 1/2 cup at a time. Add salt, cinnamon, and vanilla; beat until smooth.

Yip Foundation's Dim Sum Brunch
The Nathan Yip Foundation's annual Dim Sum Brunch, at King's Land Chinese Restaurant, is informal and fun; a delicious way, if you will, to set the stage for the group's signature fundraiser, a Chinese New Year's Gala that will take place Jan. 28.
The brunch, like the Chinese New Year's Gala, has grown by leaps and bounds. It started as a way of attracting a younger crowd — tickets are modest in price and the event is marketed largely by social media — but has proved to be just as popular with folks a bit beyond the 20- and 30-something demographic.
Now in its third year, the brunch drew a sell-out crowd for an afternoon of food and entertainment. Folks like Yi Ren, Cynthia and Dr. Larry Chan, Sylvia Edgar, Raylene Decatur, Darlene Silver and Debra Ardelt dined on dishes ranging from pan-fried dumplings to beef lo mein before finishing things on a sweet note with sesame balls and the traditional Chinese egg custard tarts.
Jimmy and Linda Yip started the Nathan Yip Foundation after their only child, Nathan, lost his life in an automobile accident. Nathan's future had held great promise, and his parents assuaged their grief by carrying on with some of his philanthropic interests, namely educating children in rural China and other countries where poverty runs rampant.
Doing this, Jimmy Yip says, "Makes me feel very, very satisfied." The Nathan Yip Foundation has raised over $1 million for these projects since its start 10 years ago.
Diana Docktor will chair the Chinese New Year's Gala, and she was at the brunch with her husband, Dr. Paul Docktor, and such others as David Thomson, president of the Nathan Yip Foundation board; Ann Sneed; Peter and Betsy Luce; Dr. Bruce Paton; Gary Ray; Renee Lassabatere; Margaret Cunningham and Jim Creamer; Kevin Gliwa; Celeste Fleming; Deanna Leino; Mike Kalush; Bei-Lee Gold; Ian Smith, Eed Cefkin; Missy Glauch, Penny Eucker; Jan and Sheldon Steinhauser; Kevin O'Brien and Angel Chi; Sylvia Edgar and Carrie Lee, the mistress of ceremonies.

in the octave bug list there is a matrix example where dgesdd performs badly
(see http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?func=deta ... 87#options).
I don't know if lapack team is aware of this problem (at least I didn't see it
on this forum).
I have transformed the matrix in a ascii format and written a small f90 program
which reads it and use dgesdd or dgesvd but I am unable to attach
the 2 files (what is possible to attach to a message for this forum ?) So I
have put the 2 files in my homepage :
On the given matrix :
1/ dgesvd works quite well, I got :
|| U*diag(sigma)*VT - A ||_1 / || A ||_1 near 10^(-14)
2/ but with dgesdd, first the last singular value is negative !!! and
the previous relative error is about 48.4 !
I have tested using 2 differents blas lib and got the same results.

Obama seemingly unaware of the kryptonite of corruption that is coursing through the veins of the world's markets, where the solution of throwing money at the problem equates to the fattening of thieves, pirates and parasites. Happy Thanksgiving, all the turkeys have been stuffed.
George Soros: "The Economy Fell off the Cliff" Spiegel Online
SPIEGEL: Mr. Soros, in spite of massive interventions by governments and federal banks the financial crisis is getting worse. The stock markets are in free fall, millions of people could lose their jobs. More and more companies are in trouble, from General Motors in Detroit to BASF in Ludwigshafen. Have you ever seen anything like it?
Soros: Never. I find the present situation dramatic and overwhelming. In my latest book "The New Paradigm for Financial Markets: The Credit Crisis of 2008" I predicted the worst financial crisis since the 1930s. But to tell you the truth: I did not actually anticipate that it would get as bad as it did. It has gone beyond my wildest imagination.
Russian analyst predicts decline and breakup of U.S. RIA Novosti
A leading Russian political analyst has said the economic turmoil in the United States has confirmed his long-held view that the country is heading for collapse, and will divide into separate parts.
Professor Igor Panarin said in an interview with the respected daily Izvestia published on Monday: "The dollar is not secured by anything. The country's foreign debt has grown like an avalanche, even though in the early 1980s there was no debt. By 1998, when I first made my prediction, it had exceeded $2 trillion. Now it is more than 11 trillion. This is a pyramid that can only collapse."
U.S. Pledges Top $7.7 Trillion to Ease Frozen Credit Bloomberg
The U.S. government is prepared to provide more than $7.76 trillion on behalf of American taxpayers after guaranteeing $306 billion of Citigroup Inc. debt yesterday. The pledges, amounting to half the value of everything produced in the nation last year, are intended to rescue the financial system after the credit markets seized up 15 months ago.
The unprecedented pledge of funds includes $3.18 trillion already tapped by financial institutions in the biggest response to an economic emergency since the New Deal of the 1930s, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. The commitment dwarfs the plan approved by lawmakers, the Treasury Department's $700 billion Troubled Asset Relief Program. Federal Reserve lending last week was 1,900 times the weekly average for the three years before the crisis.

First-teamer? Are Broncos being too lenient with linebacker Von Miller?
Broncos linebacker Von Miller is facing a four-game suspension for recreational drug use. Denver coach John Fox said his top defensive player will work with the first team in training camp until Miller's appeal is heard. Fair? Or too lenient?
I'm on the side of innocent until proven guilty, this being America. But I understand if some folks who love the Broncos think Miller has embarrassed the team and should be put in "time out" until the Broncos are certain they can count on him to start this season in uniform. Listen to Peter Burns of Mile High Sports Radio and I argue it out here:
Hey, when the Broncos open training camp, is it cool for you, or your kid, to wear a Miller uniform to practice?
Kick it with Kiz and Peter Burns by joining the discussion on Mile High Sports Radio Monday through Friday from 7-9 a.m. At 93.7 FM and 1510 AM.
Find Kiz on Twitter @MarkKiszla. And Peter Burns @PeterBurnsRadio.
