For the second time in just over four months, the Bucs will face losing another defensive end for an extended period of time. Last year's sack leader Adrian Clayborn was carted off the field in Dallas in the fourth quarter of the Cowboys game. No official word has been given to Clayborn's status, but his team mates are preparing for the worst.
On a day when the Buccaneers defense had their best performance so far of the season, they also suffered their biggest loss.
In the beginning of the fourth quarter, last season's sack leader Adrian Clayborn was carted off the field after suffering a knee injury when Gerald McCoy sacked Cowboys QB Tony Romo.
The status of Clayborn's injury is unknown, but it is thought to be as devastating a loss for the defensive line as the loss of Davin Joseph was for the offensive line.
Several of Clayborn's team mates spoke about the loss of last year's first round draft pick during Monday's open locker room at One Buc Place and how the defensive line must move forward.
"Adrian (Clayborn) – I was pretty shaken up about that," Bennett said. "Adrian is one of my closest friends on the team. I feel bad, though. He's hurt, but we are really going to need him down the stretch. But we have guys here that can step up. Da'Quan (Bowers) is going to be back in a couple weeks and we have (Daniel) Te'o (-Nesheim) and George (Johnson). Those guys are going to step up and make some big plays for us."
Clayborn is the second defensive end the Bucs have lost in just over four months. In May, Da'Quan Bowers tore his Achilles tendon in off-season workouts that have kept the second-year DE sidelined since. Bowers hopes to return in a few weeks, but says that decision is not up to him.
"Right now I'm just taking it day by day," Bowers said. "I'm working hard on my rehab. It's a six-week window on the PUP list, so we'll see what happens at Week 6 whether it's Coach Schiano and Mark Dominik's decision to bring me up or go further from there. We'll just have to wait and see what happens."
If Bowers were able to return after week six, the Bucs may have caught a break. The Bucs will host the Redskins Sunday, but follow that game up with a bye week in Week five. It could be just two more games before Bowers is able to return, due to the early off week. Until then, Te'o-Nesheim and Johnson will be playing in place of Clayborn unless Schiano decides to take advantage of Bennett's versatility and moves him to right end.
"On the defensive line I'm the one person that plays multiple positions," Bennett said. "I play right end, three technique, linebacker sometimes – whatever they ask me to do. I'm one of the guys that moves around on defense."
According to McCoy, the Bucs D-Line has to keep moving forward, just as they always have done.
"This team always has a 'next man up' mentality." McCoy said. "The past two years, I went down and somebody had to step up or they had to bring somebody in. If you're going to be a Buccaneer, it has to be a 'next man up' mentality. To lose your No. 1 guy but, we're going to pray for him, wish him the best, but we have 13 more to play."
With 13 more to play, the Bucs will be losing more than possibly just a pass rushing defensive end who led all Bucs last year with 7.5 sacks.
"Adrian (Clayborn) was always our energy, not just by talking, by how he played." McCoy said. "He was always a high motor guy, all over the field, making splash plays, and you always need that on a defense and we're going to miss that, but somebody needs to step up and fill that void."
Bowers would like nothing more than to get on the field and fill that void left by his draft-classmate.
"It's not difficult from a physical standpoint, it's more mental," Bowers said. "Being in the building, watching my guys go play on Sunday, watching two tough losses and me not being able to do anything to help them. That's what I mean by being overwhelming. I try to be there for them emotionally, but my presence is missed. I can't be there on the sideline to pick them up when things aren't going well. That's what is tough about the situation for me.
"I'm taking it step-by-step, I'm progressing. Everything is going good. Hopefully by Game 6 I'm on the practice field getting ready to go. There are a lot of things I am doing and I'm very cautious about what I am doing. I'm just taking it day-by-day."
Due to the Bucs arriving late Sunday, no official word has yet to be given to the extent of Clayborn's injury, but if you gauge the severity by his team mate's somber reactions, Clayborn's absence is already felt - and missed.

Bowers is eligible to return after week six but, in spite of the needs, let's not rush it if he's not ready.

Bowers has a ways to go before he can play. I don't expect him on the field for another 8 weeks at best.

he didn't get any sacks but he was a beast in stopping the run and pressuring from his side of the line. Really a terrible blow to lose him after Bowers went down.

Truth is Clayborn was under performing this year. I don't think the loss is that great but I agree we will need him down the line. Hoping for a quick recovery Mr Clayborn. McCoy luckily is really starting to come into his own. he had a weak game against the Giants, but seems to be bouncing back now. Let's hope that he will continue, because when he plays well our secondary and linebackers really are helped.

Bennett is no doctor, but he says that "we will need him down the stretch" which makes me think Bennett believes the injury isnt season ending. Perhaps its just wishfull thinking on my part.

text: I remember when i was in my 20's and didn't worry about my weight, now that I'm older it seems I have to watch what I eat. My brother has been into this low carbohydrate diet and it seems to have been working for him, I'm thinking about trying it, I'm not into buying these low fat dinners you see in the market that don't even look like there appetizing at times, so this low carb thing looks doable. From what I heard on talk radio some nutritionest said if your not burning it cut down on the carbs and it was a general rule for most eveyone. I'm not sure about others but I'm a pasta lover and I'm sure I would have to cut that out. Anyone have any links to foods and carbs table? I think i'm going to try it out, what do I have to lose.

On Oct. 23 in the Atrium of the SPC Center for Health Professions building, the 2013 San Antonio area recruitment season for vocational nursing certificate of completion programs at SPC began with an open house and information session. The open house attracted 50 prospective SPC vocational nursing students. Open house visitors experienced how SPC students in both San Antonio and New Braunfels benefit from contact with experienced professionals---in class, in clinical settings at leading area hospitals, and with operators of such advanced SPC training aids as computerized nursing simulation mannequins. Guests also learned about financial aid, student membership in the SPC Vocational Nursing Student Association, and SPC community service opportunities in such programs as the most important mass casualty exercise in the city.
On Oct. 30 and Oct. 31, six SPC cybersecurity program students traveled to the University of Texas at Dallas campus to learn and gain practical experience at the 2013 Texas Security Awareness Week workshop and competition. The event was hosted by the Cyber Security Research and Education Institute. The six SPC students attending the workshop were: Daniel Lopez, Luis Fuentes, Nicolas Rodriguez, Spencer Sherwood, Tyler Rogers and Selena Martinez. The students were under the sponsorship of SPC National Science Foundation Cyber Security: Cyber First Responders Program project coordinator Reynaldo Sánchez, Jr., and SPC information technology professor Haydar Sahin.
Oct. 30, activities for the SPC students included attendance at workshops on developing fundamental hands-on skills in cybersecurity such as penetration testing, exploitation and web application security. On Oct. 31, the SPC students implemented the workshop skills developed on Oct. 30 in a cybersecurity competition where SPC placed 17th among 35 university teams.

Mediation and conferencing in child protection disputes: special issue of Family Court Review
In 1997, Family Court Review published the first special volume focused on child welfare mediation. At the time it was a relatively new field gaining ground in a number of states and provinces. Since then mediation and other alternatives to traditional and adversarial child welfare proceedings have been emerging and evolving across the United States, Canada, and the world. In this follow-up to the first special volume, the articles trace the history of the development of mediation and family group decision-making programs in the child welfare arena.

About ECM
May 24 , 2007
On Thimar and more
Thimar the trio formed in 1997 by oud master Anouar Brahem with John Surman on soprano saxophone and bass clarinet and Dave Holland on double-bass returned to the stage after a seven year hiatus to headline the Jazz Sous Les Pommiers Festival in Coutances, Normandy, last week. An intensely-focused 90-minute performance was greeted with standing ovations by the capacity crowd. More concerts are planned for the end of 2007, with dates in France, Monaco, Italy, Ireland, Holland, Belgium and Switzerland already lined up.
Brahem/Surman/Holland was one of several ECM units warmly received in Coutances. The Trygve Seim Ensemble also made a rare French appearance, their powerful show capped with a performance of Seims setting of one of Rumis poems for the voice of Tora Augestad. Trygve also shared frontline duties with Tomasz Stanko in Manu Katchés good-natured Neighbourhood band, hugely popular in France, where Katché is also a TV star as well as a drummer of renown.
Carla Bleys Lost Chords introduced a new programme of marvelously craggy pieces for a revised line-up - with Italian trumpeter Paolo Fresu now joining Andy Sheppard, Steve Swallow and Billy Drummond - and, on the following morning, headed off with engineer Gérard de Haro to record it in Studios la Buisonne near Avignon. The disc will be issued in time for Carlas October/November tour of Europe. Engineer De Haro had been in Coutances to mix the sound of the Louis Sclavis group playing Dans la Nuit to the accompaniment of Charles Vanels silent film, or vice versa. Violinist Dominique Pifarély performed both with Sclavis and in an impressive fully improvised set with baritone sax player François Corneloup (Pifarély can also be heard on Stefano Battaglias newly released tribute album Re: Pasolini)...
In another French debut, Gianluigi Trovesi (mostly on alto clarinet), Umberto Petrin (piano) and Fulvio Maras (percussion, electronics) explored the tradition of song in Western music from Orlando di Lasso to Luigi Tenco for the benefit of a full house at the Coutances Théatre as they played the programme from Vaghissimo ritratto. A good time was had by all.

-- faith and don't say nothing good comes from this yeah.
-- way IOC rules allow blogging we're tweeting providing that it is not for commercial and our advertising purposes.
Because apparently they're afraid -- -- conflict with the official Olympic sponsors so I guess you can't.
-- to me like drinking a Pepsi at Burger King -- you get in trouble then.
Romney Obama it adds.
They're only thing I really have about this is NPR interview to behavioral psychologist and -- who recently did a study asking people to what extent they think that they're candidates.
That it's okay for -- candidates to be dishonest -- it promotes their political agenda and he found that people were generally OK with politicians from their own party being dishonest to help them get elected.
Without merit -- -- he is he did fine also produces a quote from him.
This was slightly more endorsed position.
It's a slightly more good position for Democrats and Republicans -- the Democrats are more willing to for their politicians to lie.
Then the Republicans.

Gov. Patrick announces big changes in cabinet
Tags: Deval Patrick Cabinet Massachusetts
BOSTON (WHDH) -- Gov. Deval Patrick announced Thursday that four cabinet secretaries will be departing his administration and that he is recruiting the best talent to replace them. His Republican critics say they are happy to see one of them step down.
"I am proud of their accomplishments and to have worked alongside them and I will miss them," said Gov. Patrick.
The exit of Health and Human services Secretary JudyAnn Bigby has drawn the most attention. She has been under fire for the handling of the two major scandals involving the state drug lab and the deadly meningitis outbreak that started here in the commonwealth. Republican leaders have called for her to step down.
"Her administrative skills seem to be sadly lacking in this case so it's time for new leadership in that department so I'm very happy to see that happen," said Rep. Betty Poirier, Republican Minority Whip.
But the Governor insisted Bigby is not being pushed out.
"I think she's been fabulous and I would hang on to her if I could," said Gov. Patrick.
"I feel like what we've been able to achieve in six years is extraordinary under the governor's leadership and I will always value the opportunity to have served the commonwealth," said Bigby.
Bigby is being replaced by John Polanowicz, president of St. Elizabeth's Hospital. Administration and Finance Secretary Jay Gonzalez is replaced by his deputy, Glen Shor.
Education Secretary Paul Reville is replaced by Brockton Schools Superintendent Matthew Malone, a Republican. And Suffolk County Sheriff Andrea Cabral will take over for outgoing Public Safety secretary Mary Beth Heffernan.
Privately, administration staffers said anyone deserves blame for the state drug lab scandal it is John Auerbach who resigned earlier this year, not JudyAnn Bigby.

Today I think it's about a 1000 times, I dreamed of being in school. This time, I dreamed of being late on a first day of class of my medical classes which is very significant since you will be dropped out of class. However, the school is not the same. They have aquarium embedded in the walls. The fish are gigantic. They seem to float in the air. When I get to class, the professor is so open and gentle. She teaches me how to write some symbols down. The kids sit next to me are very mean. The classroom is full of people.
It's that moment I woke up. I realized the reason that I cannot astral travel. I have been trapped in my own mind, in my own worry. It seems that I cannot escape. I years for the astral realm and its own peculiar sensuality. What is behind those closed door? I want to find out. But how could I when I am chained by own worst nightmares.
Please offer me advises.

Justice for Aaron Vincent Juarez
On June 1, 2013 Aaron Juarez died as a result from being punched once in the face, knocked unconscious, causing him to fall backwards, hitting his head on the concrete parking lot. Aaron hit his head, resulting in severe head trauma from which he could not survive. The man responsible for this is David Alvarez, 31 years old from Corpus Christi, Texas. The attack happened at the Whataburger located on Cimmeron and Saratoga in Corpus Christi after Aaron Juarez accidently dinged David Alvarez's brother's 2013 SUV. Aaron apologized but the Alvarez brothers didn't want to hear it. David punched Aaron when he wasn't looking. David Alvarez was arrested on Thursday June 6 and has a bond set at $200,000. Mr. Alvarez's family and his attorney have requested a reduction of that bond. This petition has been started to ensure that doesn't happen. David Alvarez was already out on a bond for a DUI. He has a criminal past, since 2001, that includes two DUIs, credit card fraud and theft and possession of marijuana. The Juarez/Garza family, along with Aaron's friends need your help. We need your signatures on this petition to ensure that David Alvarez's bond reduction be denied and that he remain locked up until he is to go to trial for the crime of murder of which he has been charged. We lost a son, grandson, nephew, cousin, friend, coworker. We lost an amazing human being in Aaron because of David's actions that night. A senseless act that changed the lives of everyone involved forever. Please help us keep David Alvarez from getting out of jail and possibly becoming a flight risk. Thank you
No matter what the sentence, justice will never be served in this world. It is only on the day of Judgement will justice be served and where everyone will be content and satisfied except for those who wrong God.
My condolences to the Juarez family. -

My heart goes out to the Juarez Family
Help him out!

Online conference on global helicopter market trends on Wednesday, 30 October 2013, at 16.00 BST
LONDON, Oct. 17, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Shutdown, Sequestration, and Slowdown: the challenge of these three "S" might set a new speed to global helicopter market dynamics. Despite economic turbulences, there are opportunities and end-users' needs unmet, which the industry can focus on. Future procurement programmes across emerging markets will support the sector development. There are also significant aftermarket support growth opportunities among Western and Southern regions through platform life extension and next generation helicopters to reinvigorate end-users' demand.
Frost & Sullivan is organising an online conference on Global Helicopters Market Opportunities - Platforms, Aftermarket, Support in Service (SIS) & Systems on Wednesday, 30 October 2013, at 16.00 BST. Frost & Sullivan Research Analyst, and Programme Leader for helicopters, Alix Leboulanger, will discuss market trends and opportunities across the helicopter market landscape. Ms. Leboulanger will talk about market growth potential by end-user segment, identify opportunities across the value-chain, as well as name the main market challenges for the upcoming decade.
"The global demand for military helicopters will be mostly sustained by Asian countries," said Ms. Leboulanger. "But more interestingly, it is expected that 9,927 new platforms will be potentially procured between 2012 and 2022 across the commercial sectors due to the continued demand for Oil & Gas platforms and growing interest for air taxi services in emerging markets."
Armed forces, governments and commercial operators are renewing their helicopter fleet capabilities; hence new platform procurements will present a total market size of US$ 303.40 billion between 2012 and 2022. There are also promising opportunities in the SIS area. Outsourcing first returns of experience generate more interest in Performance Based Logistic (PBL), time and material availability contracts among military and parapublic end-users.
Customers are becoming increasingly cost-conscious, what also drives the helicopter systems market. Customers find critical assets in systems enabling them to overcome their budget constraints and optimisation plans. Consequently the global helicopter systems market is expected to witness growth at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3.13 percent for the 2012-2022 forecast period.
The online conference will benefit helicopter OEMs, distributors, commercial operators such as Oil & Gas and Emergency and Medical Services - EMS services, as well as investment funds and even end-users who are interested in knowing about other helicopter programmes and potential applications.
To participate in this complimentary meeting, please email Joanna Lewandowska, Corporate Communications, at email@example.com with your full contact details. Upon receipt of the above information, a registration link will be e-mailed to you. You may also register to receive a recorded version of the briefing at anytime by submitting the aforementioned contact details.

Something I have been thinking about the Ant Farm thing.
What is the big conceptual difference in looking at a 2 dimensional grid looking at rooms from above and looking at a 2 dimensional grid looking at rooms side on?
I'll grant that the whole business of rooms boosting the effect of the rooms next door if they're of the right type will be a change but actual people walking about is just eye candy.
If they want to call is an Ant Farm shouldn't it be more of a cube structure where you have multiple layers of rooms?

NEW ORLEANS (November 11, 2012)--The chaos in the wake of Superstorm Sandy delivered a gut-wrenching dose of déjà vu for survivors of Hurricane Katrina, but now those people are reaching into their wallets and cupboards to help victims of Sandy in the northeast, seven years after Katrina destroyed their own neighborhoods, killed more than 1,800 people and caused some $108 billion in damage.
Church groups, nonprofits, City Hall and individuals in New Orleans and along the Mississippi Gulf Coast are sending care packages, donating money and staging volunteers for the cleanup and recovery efforts.
Joe Robert is one of those volunteers driven to help after seeing images of destruction. He knows too well what those people will face.
His voice cracking with emotion, Robert says seeing Sandy's aftermath makes him "relive all the memories, all the heartache."

Unless you have been living in a cave for the past 6 months, you are aware that the global economy is in recession. Journalists for The Economist magazine have written an interesting article on how the video game industry has proven, so far, to be recession proof. Games sales in America were up 35% this year in October over last year and hardware sales were up as well. However large software developers, like EA and Activision Blizzard, are reporting losses. For a more detailed explanation check out the article. Source: Economist.com
I know ive had to say " i cant buy X game this week ". But i think next year will be a tough one for any industry especially with more job losses after the new year.
Out of work people need games to play more than ever. I work 12 hrs a day but still get 1-2 hrs of gaming in @ night.
Obama plans to give the states a pretty big stimulus, again, and this time it is proposed to be significantly larger. Although there hasnt been any figures stated, I'm guessing anywhere from $4000 to $6000. Better to give it to the tax paying citizens than the corporate companies driving their bentley GTs to the meetings to ask for money. Maybe if they stopped lining their damned pockets with gold, their companies could survive, and the $12 per hour workers dont have to lose their jobs, and subsequently their 401k because Mr. Big Wig defaulted, took all the money, and ran. for all of those who dont know, Mr. Big Wig is living the life, while his 40,000 workers that made him his damned money are out a job. Just my $.02
yea, next year will be tough for everyone. ive been in the same situation where ive had to put off buying games for a little while.
yea, as the article points out, some people think it is because of a tight economy that people are not taking expensive vacations and instead spend the 50-60 bucks on a video game that they can relax too for a few weeks, months.
I don't think the recession will impact the industry, in fact, we're fairly close to resolving it. Besides, each company is making millions, excluding 3DRealms, all through sales and stock marketing. However, I think it could affect the pricing of every copy .
- Made me chuckle. I don't get the same feeling as I used to as a little kid when new games come out.
personally i think we are a ways away from resolving this issue. but i wont get into an economic theory flame war here. this is from the article. it is something to think about.
[comes out of cave] What recession ? Since a recession is a good excuse for people to pirate then yeah it more than likely will suffer to a degree.
These company's aren't hurting, nomatter what they want you to belive, WoW is still keeping blizzard in the $$$, if they say different they are flat out liers. EA deserves to get a nutkick, but they arent hurting eather, again no matter what they say, how they get in the red is buying up to many smaller dev houses/ferms so they can rape their content till its un-profitable, then cut and run on the employees of said firms. IF game companys want to turn the whole situation around,drop the useless DRM and drop per unit prices, will cut profit per sale BUT will get them FAR more sales, look at games like serious sam, it came out at 19.99, sold millions of copy's, and was honestly a fun game(effectively a doom clone with far better gfx and such) it sold VERY WELL because 1. the demo wasnt crippled crap and 2. the price was right, the company did make money on it so much so that they put out an expansion AND 2nd game(that didnt sell quite as well due to higher initial price but was quite impressive in its one right) look at Sins of a Solar Empire, sold millions with little to no publicity ( I only heard about it online from friends for example ) it has NO DRM AT ALL, yet it sold/sells like mad, If more company's follow stardocks example they WOULD see increased sales, EA is being bitch slapped for using draconian DRM, and rightly so, when you treat your paying customers like criminals/theives what can you expect but to loose many of them? the game industry go's in cycles, i wont cry if the likes of EA and VUG die, because it will just signal the end of this large corporate buildup and a move back to smaller independent dev houses that tend to give you a more interesting game experience instead of clones of what you have already played with different gfx. this has happened b4, it will happen again, given time, just as the ecoimy will recover as it has b4, just hope we get the recovery faster then its happened in the past.
I dont think they will suffer or have. These companies can only put themselves at a loss for we demand games now more then ever with more pc users now then ever. Other then overpricing a game title, creating a shit one alltogether with too many bugs, little to no dev support or a game that requires year 2035 technology to run at 100 frames are surely was to bring down any game company.
That should be the last nail in the coffin for any prospective new games Oh well, mine sweeper is fun...
Video gaming will be last to be affected. It is cheaper to spend $50 on a game and spend the weekend home, than $100-$200 out on the town. Your social life may start to hurt, but your wallet won't.
Here´s a very interesting youtube channel on the issue financial crisis: http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=jberni1&view=videos Joern Berniger points out the logic that the impact of the crisis will have large effects in a short time on those markets where people are rapidly willing to spend less money for products: gastronomy and entertainment electronics. BTW: The crisis is often described as "Trust Crisis " and we are told that the only solution is to regain trust. Well, if that ain´t some pretty nice global elite marketing strategy... Think at least twice after being fed by corporate mass media. http://video.google.de/videoplay?docid=-3969792790081230711&ei=OYZNSbagNZHG2gKTkfH2Cg&q=corporation
I think the gaming industry here will struggle as you may or not know we are charged exorberantly high price for games compared to everywhere else.My guess is with less money in our pockets these companies will have to feel the pinch. Are economy is quite stong compared to the rest of the western world but my own guess is next year will see lots of job cuts in both private and public and that will effect gaming companies cus ppl will simply not have the money to buy them and what money they do have will go on essentials not luxury items.
Of course not. For every massive developer and publisher like EA there are half a dozen of mid-sized ones and tens of smaller ones. If you count in independent studios and developers then we are talking about hundreds upon hundreds if not thousands, globally anyways. Let's face it, some of these major publishers and developers like EA would be in trouble right about now even if it wasn't for the now obvious economic troubles. I mean really, for example Need For Speed series was all downhill after NFS High Stakes aka NFS4 circa 1999. Everything that came after NFS4 was based on the "The Fast and the Furious" type of setting, with the whole underground "sh-treet racin!" [sic] theme which was directed straight at your average pasty 13 year old Vin Diesel wannabes. And even though it might seem weird, most of the relevant statistics from Entertainment Software Association show that 13 year olds are not your biggest money makers as far as video game market is concerned. Here is a quick quote: "The average game buyer is 37 years old. In 2005, 95 percent of computer game buyers and 84 percent of console game buyers were over the age of 18" The latest statistics show more or less the same numbers. Trust me, when I go looking for a racing/driving simulator, last thing I'm looking is for some shiny pimp-my-ride "sh-treet racin!" [sic] title. That crap don't sell as far as any real money is concerned and when EA finally goes under, I hope other publishers and developers of similar titles will take notice.
I think EA and Blizzard reported losses because they expected to make more in 2008 than they really did. That doesn't mean they are necessarily feeling it, they just didn't expect it. Stimulus packages have never worked. The only way I could see it working is if it forced people to spend it on building new homes (recession/depression are often determined by home construction figures) or paying off loans (free up some money in banks that grant loans to build houses). If they do a "here's $600 USD we bought from China, spend it how you like" thing again, I'd argue that what Congress is doing is criminal (bribery to reelect them with our own money). I'm not certain why people are buying lots of games in 2008. But yeah, if it gets to the point where you have to decide between putting food in your mouth, fuel in your car, paying your rent, or buying a video game to pretend those other issues don't exist, obviously the video game sales would go way down.
For hardcore WoW players this will be a tough choice when the recession is at its worse ... eat or pay for the WoW subscription

With a reputation for excellence that dates back to the late 1800's, E.W. Howell stands at the forefront of the New York building community. The foundation of our success is grounded in our longstanding client and industry relationships, forged by a commitment to excellence and unswerving integrity. Throughout our history, we've constructed more than buildings—we've built a legacy that continues to define our firm today, and motivate us toward the future.
Smithsonian Institution Cooper Hewitt National Design MuseumNew York, NY
E.W. Howell has been selected to provide General Contracting services for the renovation to the Cooper Hewitt National Design Museum. The Museum is housed in the former residence of Andrew Carnegie, which is a National Historic Landmark. The campus also includes two historic townhouses on East 90th Street and the Arthur Ross Terrace and Garden. The renovation will expand exhibition space by 7,000 SF by converting the third floor of the Mansion, currently the library, to new contemporary galleries, and moving the library to two adjacent townhouses and improving gallery spaces and infrastructure at the Mansion and townhouses. The Mansion project will include new freight elevators, new registrar offices and new art conservation labs. Important public spaces such as the main stair accessing the gallery floors, and restrooms will be renovated and expanded to enhance the visitor experience.
The project was designed by Beyer Blinder Belle and Gluckman Mayner Architects, and will be built to achieve a LEED silver rating from the USGBC. To find out more about the project, check out the video below:
Since 2003, E.W. Howell has sponsored the annual Benefit for a Friend fundraiser. Committed to helping on a local level, every dollar raised benefits local families in need. We have been very successful in previous years due to the overwhelming generosity of our participants.
This year's outing on September 23, 2013 was a success - please check back for more information regarding next year's outing!
With a longstanding history of building on Long Island, philanthropy has always been a part of our business philosophy. We have participated in the following charitable projects:
Child Advocacy Center
The Child Advocacy Center (CAC) at The Pat and Mary Bagnato Place for Kids in an establishment dedicated to the care of child victims of physical and sexual abuse. The project consisted of building a new facility to replace the existing facility next door which they had outgrown. The new CAC designed by Fusion Architecture encompasses everything that could be needed, and everything that was lacking in the original CAC. It's a completely designated structure with residential curb appeal, contains state-of-the-art equipment, and is energy efficient. Vendors donated materials, supplies, and equipment. Most subcontractors worked for little or no profit, some made partial donations, and yet others donated their labor and materials outright. Local Union affiliates provided varying degrees of assistance to the project.
In 2011, E.W. Howell was one of five firms nationally to receive the AGC in the Community Award.
Similar to the CAC, E.W. Howell was approached to participate in a project for Grace Peshkur, the little girl who had a rare skin disease which required constant care. In the fall of 2006, E.W. Howell built the Peshkur's a new 3,000 SF home, making it handicap accessible to meet Grace's medical needs. Our goal was to improve the quality of life for Grace and help her family with their daily struggle. All time and materials were donated outright by E.W. Howell and their subcontractors and vendors.
Benefit for a Friend
E.W. Howell has always been committed to helping on a local level and staying connected to the community. Starting in 2003, we have sponsored the annual Benefit for a Friend golf outing which is designed to help construction families in need, and to date has raised and distributed approximately $100,000 annually.
In addition to the charitable efforts listed above, E.W. Howell has supported many charities/organizations over the years including:

NIGER — The Daily Struggle Against MalnutritionOctober 2, 2006Every day, Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) mobile teams criss-cross Niger's rural areas in search of acutely malnourished children. The number of children treated in MSF's therapeutic feeding programs is growing steadily—more than 50,000 so far this year. The following account describes a typical workday for one of MSF's nutritional programs, based near Zinder, Niger's second-largest city. It's 10 a.m. and the temperature is already nearly 104 degrees. Nonetheless, almost 200 mothers have gathered in front of MSF's outpatient feeding center in the town of Miriah. They have come because of their children, swathed in carrying cloths. MSF staff set up a rope waiting line to guide the mothers and their children. They will work their way through a health screening process that will save many of the children's lives.
At the next station, medical examinations determine whether the children can be treated without hospitalization. In that case, they receive a ready-to-use therapeutic food (RUTF) called Plumpy Nut®, a peanut butter enriched with milk powder, oil, sugar, and other minerals and vitamins. This product has created a revolution in the fight against malnutrition. Previously, mothers had to prepare food products at home, often with mixed results. Once Plumpy'nut is removed from its packaging, it can be given directly to children. This kind of food also quickly strengthens the body and produces marked weight gain. Its ease of use has introduced a high-performing, uniform treatment that allows many more patients to be treated. It also explains how, after 30 minutes, the first mothers and children are already leaving the Miriah outpatient feeding center. They take enough Plumpy'nut to last a week and their families are given Unimix (a corn-and-soy flour mix enriched with vitamins and lactose), a liter of oil, and a bar of soap home with them, which represents one week's ration. In the weeks ahead, they will return to the feeding center for follow-up visits and additional rations. However, not all the children will be able to go home. The serious cases are referred immediately to the Zinder inpatient therapeutic feeding center for hospitalization.
That is the case for little Fatima. The child, now two, spent more than two months at the inpatient center with her mother and older sister. She had fought for her life since the age of one month. She had tuberculosis and after recovering, quickly gained weight and was able to be transferred to "phase 2," where children in stable health continue to be fed. Today, Fatima smiles—happy and well-nourished—she is securely strapped to her mother's back. Tomorrow, she will be able to leave the inpatient feeding center and will only have to make regular visits to one of the 13 outpatient feeding centers for follow-up care. Children are not the only ones in the feeding center. Mothers have been weakened, too. Many have problems nursing their children and thus also receive enriched food. Nigerien staff also provide them with information on topics like feeding and hygiene. Unfortunately, some cases end sadly, like Mubarak's. This one-year-old infant was reduced to barely a skeleton. Since his hospitalization, he fought to survive. Mubarak was HIV-positive, but there was not enough time to begin antiretroviral treatment. The morning after his death, the team's mood was at a low. "Many mothers wait too long to bring their children here," a local doctor said, pensively. However, recovery rates are encouraging: more than 90 percent of children with acute malnutrition treated by MSF in Niger are now in good health. The program in Zinder treats close to 1,500 children every month. The Zinder and Magaria feeding centers, as well as the neighboring outpatient centers, treat more than 50 new cases of children with acute malnutrition every day. That trend continues to increase.

There were too many inspiring details of the house to fit into one post, so today we're taking you through two gorgeous entryways.
• 1.-6. Miriam Dillon and Rebecca Foley of Custom Design Concepts Architecture + Interiors, created a fascinating mudroom, powderoom, and laundry reflective of the energy in the contemporary handmade movement. Their are many notable elements throughout the spaces, but I couldn't take my eyes off the lighting fixtures. My favorite was Bobo Intriguing Objects' inverted Wine-barrel pendant which added a rustic refined note to the family friendly space. However I also spent a great deal of time swooning over the recycled glass bottle pendants from Cisco Brothers as well. I also loved the herringbone pattern paneled created with the same reclaimed pine found on the floors throughout most of the home.
• 7.-11. We've featured the inspiring eclecticism of Raji Radhakrishnan before, and we were thrilled to see her work gracing the entrance, foyer, and front stair galleries. Her signature, yet ever-new, mix of refined old world and bold contemporary was apparent throughout. A salvaged banister from a French balcony found a new home as the decorative mirrored console in the front hall, a perfect example of the abundant recycled design throughout her spaces. While many people tend to think of Green design as expensive design, Raji sought to show the more economical side, which comes in large part through creative re-imagining. One console was made from old tupperware-like containers stacked and covered with one of her old, exquisite saris. Scavenged Ikea cabinets were grouped for her eye-catching "OH" sculptural installation on the upper wall of the staircase.
Stay tuned for part II of the sneak peek, and in the mean time, be sure to reserve your tickets to tour the CharityWorks GreenHouse, open to the public this Saturday, October 10- October 30.

The electrical conductivity of portland cement paste is an important transport property, especially since, when properly normalized by the pore fluid conductivity, it is equivalent to the normalized ionic diffusivity of the material via the Nernst-Einstein relation. This paper presents experimental and computer simulation results for / o, where is the conductivity of the bulk paste as determined from impedance spectroscopy, and o is the conductivity of the pore solution. Comparison between simulation and experiment is carried out for an 0.5 water:cement ratio white cement paste as a function of capillary porosity. Reasonable quantitative agreement between theory and experiment is achieved.

"I bet I could bench-press you": the tiny girl thread |

*waves* Hi tiny Busties!
I'm attending a good friends graduation this weekend and so I went shopping for a day suit or suitable dress. I must have tried on every dress in the stupid mall, and NOTHING fit me! It is absolutely impossible for me to find a well fitting sheath dress, because the torso is so long, and the straps stand up from my shoulders. Is it too much to ask that the petite department carry clothing that is appropriate for the under 50 set? And what ever happened to size PP? The smallest I could find was a 4P, and that just don't cut it, a strapless 4P falls right off of my stupid tiny boobs and ribcage. And speaking of tiny ribcages, why do bra sizes stop at 32? It really sucks for those of us who have to slump over to the preteen department to find a bra that doesn't go over your head when you raise your arms. I'm not a thin person, I'm just small, I see girls much thinner than me and I wonder where they find bras with the proper bandsize. I feel like an entire group of women (tiny women) are being completely ignored by the fashion industry. Who are they making those mile-long pants for? I brought an average height friend with me shopping, and she was amazed at how ill-fitting all of the regular clothing was on me. She said that she had no idea what a difference an inch of extra fabric in the waist makes. It makes the difference between sleek and well fitting and bunchy and loose fitting. I was so frustrated by the end of the (four hour) shopping trip that I was near tears. And I still don't have anything appropriate to wear. I am reduced to a casual sundress (my mother would hang her head in shame). Anti-kvetch- I found AG Legend jeans in a consignment store in my (petite!) size for $20!!! I was so thrilled I've worn them for five days straight. The hems barely touch the ground, it's amazing! I know this thread is kind of dead, but if anyone's still around, does anyone have any good resources for petite clothing? -------------------- http://www.etsy.com/shop/crinolinecreations Handmade accessories for the SuperCute!

steph_erin: i think maybe what it is, is that any unwanted attention to our bodies is annoying? i hate when people make comments like that because it's like, this is just my body. i have a small frame, stop comparing yourself to me. -or- i figure, if someone is so unhappy with their weight that they have to make comments to me.. do something about it. dont blame the small girl for your weight issues. stop eating greasy fast food everyday and start exercising.
that's awesome that you took control over your weight at a young age.. especially the way you did it by getting active. so many kids just sit around and play video games anymore that i think that's one of the reasons a lot of people have weight problems. -------------------- We adore chaos because we love to produce order. - M.C.

back to what originally started that, anorexia isn't a choice. it's not necessarily something you can convince your friend not to do. i mean sure, support to get over it is nice.. but i'm not entirely sure that's any better than not saying anything at all. when i was little i was big. i mean, i looked pregnent when i was 4. never the less, i got over it myself. i didn't really have friends [outside my family], and even then i figured out i wouldn't unless i got thinner. i joined swimming and ju jitsu, and lost the weight just by being an active 4- year old. i don't know. that story seemed random, but i guess to get back to the thread. i almost miss being big. i'm 5' 4", and it would be obvious if i gained weight, but i'm tired of girls randomly stating that i'm "so skinny" and that they wish "they could be my size". just yesterday i was asked if i was 80 pounds. ridiculous, i know, but it just goes to show how unrealistic high school girls are about weight. -------------------- i've got a strong urge to fly,

mouse, i actually restarted the ED thread sometime in the beginning of the year.. but it's faded as of late: bulimia, anorexia, etc ..eating disorders thread
i have a lot of feedback on the topic. i never want to offer unsolicited advice, but sometimes it happens when i get all passionate about topics that hit home. if you wanna hop in there and chat about ED's for a hot sec, lemme know. -------------------- We adore chaos because we love to produce order. - M.C.

knorlo....the depressing thing is that i'm NOT actually there, supporting her, being her friend. i don't mean to de-rail this thread and am wondering if maybe we should start another about eating disorders and allies? but i feel incredibly guilty.
we were best friends up until around age 11 and then she started hanging out with different people (middle school, when everything first starts getting cliquey). i actually ended up being the loner/scapegoat of the class and so we weren't really friends at all by the time she got diagnosed at around 13. we had a sort of affection based on history, and our mothers are best friends, but we didn't really have much of a personal connection by then. we switched schools to the same highschool, but even though we were on better terms then, she was never there because she was always in and out of treatment. she also has fibromyalgia, which didn't help things at all. i left for college early, after three years of highschool, and haven't lived at home or anywhere near where she lives since. we stay in touch because our mothers are close, and i visit her when i go home to see my parents, and lately i've been trying to email her more often, but we live on opposite coasts now and as selfish as it is, i'm really preoccupied with my life HERE. and the sad thing is, so is everyone who was ever her friend. she's sort of stymied at age 13. she's taken college classes and she got her ged, but she's never been on her own, she has this sort of scarily symbiotic relationship with her mother. they're never without each other around. her father's never around, and they just moved to a different state so now she's totally far away from anyone she even remotely had. and of course her friends from school are, like me, getting on with their lives and moving away and starting out in the world. and she's not. so many of these sensationalistic "i had anorexia!" exposes on 20/20 or whatever are always "i got through it with the help of my best friend". and i just don't think she has that kind of support and i wonder that maybe that's why this has gone on so long......and i'm probably the closest thing she has to that, and i'm so not doing anything. i dunno. this totally doesn't belong in this thread, sorry. -------------------- jam out with your clam out

right on mouse. your friend is so lucky to have you, as cliche as that sounds, it's very true. not many people have the patience or capacity to deal with a person with those extreme conditions. it's a huge responsibility for a friend to sit by and just be a friend with no expectations or attempts to change the person. but it means the world because all people who are isolated really want is someone who accepts them unconditionally and supports them through their struggles. i imagine your friend doesnt even understand her own disorders, which can be very frustrating for her i'm sure. i know she wants to get better, deep down, and i know she hates living that way. no one enjoys being sick or feeling sick. so all i can say is continue doing exactly what you are doing, and have faith that with the help of professionals, and doctors, and family and friends, she will feel the love and support she needs to get stronger one day at a time.
anita18, arg. i hate all that celebrity crap. do you notice they all eerily look the same? all of their eyebrows are neatly trimmed and their lips are glossed and plumped. it just gets so tiresome seeing person after perfect person trotting down the red carpet. where is the substance people? if these people arent living life enough to skin their knee, they are definitely not someone i look up to. -------------------- We adore chaos because we love to produce order. - M.C.

re: the change in sizes over the years-it's definitely true-it's vanity sizing. A lot of people have said that they used to be a bigger size in clothes, and now they are like a 2, when they used to be a 6... Hah, that's exactly what I found to be the case in Express. I have an old pair of Express jeans that are a size 5/6, and when I went there recently to try on new pants, I had magically become a size 2. My pelvis is physically incapable of fitting in a real size 3, so it's just vanity sizing, but it's so annoying. I realize that when people comment on my weight, they're usually not doing it out of disgust like they would if I were overweight. But it still bothers me because they're assuming things about me without even knowing me. I could say the same if I had any other body condition really, but it bugs me because they're not putting ME down. They're unconsciously putting THEMSELVES down. Saying, "You're so lucky!", "What's your secret?", "You don't need to exercise!" and other things like that really says, "I wish I was as skinny as you" and I want to knock some sense into them. Being skinny didn't get me where I am. I'm in science and it doesn't matter what I look like or what I wear. And being skinny certainly doesn't get me guys, LOL - my roommate (who often uses the "You're so lucky!" line) has had more boyfriends in the past month than I've had in my entire life. Looking a certain way doesn't achieve goals, but having a certain attitude does. I'm just so frustrated with people who obsess over the natural state of their bodies. Some things you just can't change, and if you're healthy, you might as well embrace it, right? Don't even get me started on people who snark on celebrities being too fat or too thin. People called Kate Winslet fat when Titanic came out, but I thought she was gorgeous. People called Keira Knightley a boy when POTC came out, but I thought she was gorgeous too. They're both women with vastly different natural body types, but they seem healthy. Actresses like Nicole Richie and Kate Bosworth I worry about, since it's clear they've lost a lot of weight and their current thin physiques probably aren't their natural states. I agree that it's frustrating to see people just say, "They need to eat a cookie" because eating disorders aren't as simple as that. If they do have eating disorders, yes, they need help, but it certainly isn't as easy as sitting in front of a meal. Heck, I think that most people today have a negative relationship with food... |

my very good friend from younger years was a seriously disfunctional person in many respects, anorexia/bulimia being only one. it wasn't until years later that i found out she'd suffered horrible sexual abuse as a small child. she was also adopted into an alcoholic family and thought her "parents" knew about her abuser all along. no wonder she was a mess, it all just goes to show that disfunction manifests itself in many different ways from many different causes. it's impossible to cover it all with one blanket, so to speak. i don't know why people even try.

body dysmorphia can be caused by a lot of things, but it's in there already. conscious issues about the way one looks can exacerbate it, but ultimately it's a psychological condition. and the word "vanity" being bandied about with anorexia really, really bugs me because in serious cases that is never, ever what it is about.
i am not a tiny girl. i only looked into this thread because it kept showing up at the top. but i have to comment. my best friend from childhood has been in and out of hospitals for over ten years now for anorexia. she is the sweetest girl you could ever hope to meet, but there is something severely wrong with her, psychologically. it has nothing to do with vanity. my mother works at a school for children with severe mental disabilities and studies a lot of things about how even prenatal influences can affect people later on in life (ie, babies who were c-sections as opposed to vaginal births often have minor issues with certain reflexes when they are grown up because they didn't have to use those inherent reflexes to get themselves down the birth canal). it's an interesting subject, but the example i wanted to make is that research has found that certain children with certain disabilities benefit greatly from things like sitting on textured chairs or holding a heavy pillow in their lap, because part of their disability is the inability to know where their body ends. having something remind them where they are helps them stay in the world, helps ground them. it's similar with body dysmorphia, and my mom made my friend a heavy pillow which has been helping her. body dysmorphia is not a choice, it's not a fashion statement, it's a fucking psychological condition. one which, for my friend, ten years of doctors, hospitals, rehabs, love, support and begging have not been able to change. people look down their noses at girls with anorexia and it fucking sickens me. the attitude is "oh, you could change if you wanted to". no, they can't. it's not that easy. and you wouldn't ask that of someone with schizophrenia or ocd or any other psychological problem. -------------------- jam out with your clam out

with sexual abuse as a kid, a lot of times it starts out in puberty, with a disgust of becoming a woman, and so you want to starve yourself and stay a girl (weirdly, cause it's notlike being agirl kept you safe...)
also i think society tells us that being a woman is bad and that fat is disgusting and makes you a disgusting person. so it's not just vanity but also self-esteem. i remember wanting to cut my "fat" off with a knife, i was so repulsed by it. not saying ther'es not vanity in it for some/many, just don't think it's ever so cut and dried. a loooot of it is about control-if you look at little kids who essentially have not much power if any, a lot of kids take control by refusing to eat certain things, etc. my niece and nephew are realllly good at using food as their power. i think it can be similar. it can be a cry for help, a punishment of the body or of a parent or smething, a way to cope, a way to feel out of it and numb, a way to become "perfect" and in control and powerful. it's like "i can't' control anything, so i'm going to control my body." just my 2cents (ok maybe more like 4) also i think it can be a form of self-injury, and of passive suicidality, because choosing not to eat is essentially choosing not to put life into your body. it can be about self-hatred, about punishing yourself for being "bad", and not allowing yourself any nourishment or kindness, because you don't deserve it because you are "bad." |

well thats kinda what i meant, theres SO much more going on there, but there has to be vanity in some aspect. its alot about control and self esteem, but i would think people who have been abused in whatever way are suffering from low self esteem among many other issues, so may gravitate towards things they CAN control about themselves, which is their body size in order to be accepted and stuff. who knows, i am not sure anyone ever will.
in my experience, (girls in college) it was a vanity thing fueled by low self esteem and wanting to have that "perfect" body. but clearly that is not everyones case. -------------------- There's something about the Irish that is remarkable.-François de la Rochefoucauld

i think you're right for some cases, katie. but there are some cases in which i don't think it starts out as a vanity thing. again, i'm not an expert on the subject, but for some people (women, mostly) who have been sexually abused, eating disorders are not about a vanity thing. there are a whole lot of underlying issues there. and i'm pretty sure i've read other cases of for, example, anorexia, being linked to issues that were not related to vanity. i vaguely remember what those issues were, though, and when i have time i'll do a little research into them. to say that they start out as absolutely a vanity thing, may be going too far. but that's just my opinion, and i wish i knew more on the subject. i guess, maybe there is always an aspect of the physical appearance being involved - but is it always about wanting to be thinner because that's what's portrayed as being better? i don't know.

to be honest, i think it absolutely starts out as a vanity thing (because of society) and quickly becomes a disease. at least for most people, esp in hollywood. i know its indicative of other things but for the most part whether its about control or something else, it DOES start out as a "i am too fat" thing. doesnt stay that way bc you are right, they cant tell how gross they look or how unhealthy they are, which is where the disease comes in.
