Year of publication

- Language universals and interlinguistic variation (1975)
- Actually, the title should include intralinguistic variation along with the interlinguistic one. For variation within one and the same language is the thing which directly presents itself to the observation while it still remains to be demonstrated that phenomena in different languages can be regarded as variants to be assigned to one and the same invariant principle. There are two senses in which the terms of variant, variation are used in the following remarks: one, which has just been mentioned, concerns the assignment of variants to some definite invariant. The other implies the possibility of gradient transitions and opposes the notions of discreteness and of yes-or-no. I shall not try here to reconcile these two senses and I trust that what I intend to show will become intelligible nevertheless. Henri Delacroix (1924:126f) has reformulated an old hypothesis which seems worth exploring in connection with the search for language universals: "Une langue est une variation historique sur le grand thème humain du langage." It remains to be seen what "le grand thème" or rather "les grands thèmes" are about and what particular language-specific properties could be shown to be variants of one and the same theme. One such major theme which we shall now investigate is the interrelation between, on one side, a word or a sequence of words, and, on the other, a sentence. As this for us is not only a syntactic but also a semantic problem, we might rephrase the anti thesis as that between a term or sequence of terms and a proposition. Two alternative views on the nature of this interrelation seem conceivable: A. The interrelation is yes-or-no, i. e. an element or a string of elements either constitutes a term (sequence of terms) or a proposition. B. The interrelation is of gradient nature, i. e. we find intermediary stages. Both alternatives are appropriate, but under different circumstances.

Charleston County Government announces that EMS paramedic Matt Adams placed first in a written competition among his peers from other agencies in South Carolina and North Carolina. Adams, who has been with the County's EMS for five years, took the top honor at the 17th Annual Carolina Competition on Oct. 25 and 26 in Jacksonville, N.C.
The written competition is a 75-question, multiple choice exam that must be completed in 45 minutes. Questions cover anatomy, physiology, cardiology, medication calculations and treatments regarding specific disease processes.
"It was an honor to be recognized among so many experienced health care professionals," said Adams, who grew up on James Island and now resides on Johns Island. "I have always enjoyed the opportunity to challenge myself. While paramedics utilize this information every day, competitions like this provide us the chance to refine our strengths and improve upon our weaknesses."
While the written test is an optional part of the competition, this year's event saw 100 percent participation for only the second time in its 17-year history. Certifications among the 18 competitors range from Advanced EMT's to Critical Care Paramedics.
"The written exam is extremely challenging and optional, so not many attempt it. Matt was Charleston County's first paramedic to try, so we are thrilled that he came in first," said Don Lundy, Charleston County EMS Director.
This isn't the first time Charleston County EMS proved successful during the competition. The department won the skills competition in 1997 and 2007, and has placed in the top four teams six times since the competition began.
"The Carolina Competition has become the yardstick by which all other E.M.S. Competitions are measured, as is evidenced by the numerous team entries from both of the Carolinas," Lundy said. "A challenging, thought-provoking, fair experience for all team members is guaranteed and provides an excellent learning opportunity."

Speaking at Lions Pride Gym in London, the former middleweight champion said that any superfight denies other fighters the chance to come up.
"My opinion - the people always say superfight, superfight but where are the chances for the new guys to come?
"Im ready for fight for Jon Jones, Georges St Pierre but in my academy, Minatouro, Glover and the other fighters in this class for Jon Jones. George St Pierre is a different class. I have my problems in my class.
"Yeah its good for business but is no good for the others guy fight. I go to fight Georges St Pierre, he cuts up, I cut down. I finish the fight. I go to fight Jon Jones, I finish the fight. Whos next? No have! My opinion, this is perfect bullshit."

Best Uses
What an unexpected surprise to find these stools in my gardening catalog, I wasn't even looking but they are a perfect fit to my newly remodeled kitchen. They slip under the bar and out of the way. They can be adjusted up and down to fit all my grandchildren and are very sturdy. They were even better than the picture. I couldn't have been more pleased. The stools were so well packaged for shipping that they may have been bombproof.

Best Uses
I love that they adjust. My 3 year old granddaughter is short so I crank them up for her. I can also crank them down for really tall friends. I love the style, it fits perfectly with my kitchen decor. Price was very reasonable.
- Was this a gift?:
- No
- Simple design
- Poor construction
Best Uses
I ordered two stools; one was great, just as I expected. The other was scratched on the top and was wobbly. It seemed like the metal component was too large for the giant screw that is part of the structure of the stool. For the money I did not think it was worth the purchase and since it was a present we found out when the couple was opening the gift. I was very let down with the quality.
- Was this a gift?:
- Yes
I have just remodled my farmhouse kitchen and they look stunning in it. I bought 3 for my island counter and think I need 1 more. The wooden stool matches my hardwood floors and the metal stand matches my woodstove perfectly
Nice product. Sleek and edgy. Looks good with other black metal in the kitchen.
- Attractive Well Built
- Comfort For Long Periods
Best Uses
- Kitchen Counter Desk
I use this at my kitchen counter and can slide it under the counter when not in use. Nicely built, solid, well designed. Not so great for long periods because of the flat, hard seat, but that's ok for my use.
- Great Design
- High Quality
- Looks great
- Quality materials
- Slightly Wiggly Seat
Best Uses
- Craft table
- Kitchen counter
I bought 2 of these stools for my daughter to use in her fashion design studio. She loves them because she has to work at several tables that are different heights so the adjustability is important. The wooden seat has a beautiful natural grain pattern and the simple sturdy metal legs give it a cool industrial style. The seat can be raised up to a bar height if needed. The only slight problem is that the seat wiggles when it is fully extended, otherwise it is perfect.
these are wonderful kitchen bar stools...........love the way the wood and metal mix with our antique decor. they are sturdy,adjustable and have a beautiful wood finish. we've had many compliments on them!

I just finished my second reading and more than once I've caught myself almost replying to someone with Calla phrases. It would be one thing if they've read the book, then it would be funny, but most of my friends don't read much at all so I would prolly just come off sounding foolish. Wondering if anyone else has experienced this. I don't mean doing it on purpose but accidentally.

Minimum wage's influence on Vt.January 07,2013While stagnant wages and sluggish job growth continue to cloud the post-recession recovery, there's a bright spot for Vermont: Approximately 11,000 of the state's lowest-paid workers got a raise on Jan. 1 as the state's minimum wage increased by 14 cents to $8.60.
Thanks to a law signed by then-Gov. Jim Douglas in 2005, the state's minimum wage automatically adjusts every year to keep pace with the rising cost of living — this key policy reform, known as "indexing," has already been adopted by nine other states as well.
As a result, the wages paid to those Vermonters who wake up each morning to do the hard work of cleaning office buildings, serving food, and providing care for the elderly will not gradually erode each year as the cost of basic expenses like food, gasoline, and utilities continues to rise.
As the country debates how best to create jobs and accelerate the economic recovery, our elected officials in Washington could learn from the example that Vermont has set in addressing the urgent problems of America's low-wage economy. After more than three years since the official end of the Great Recession, average wages are actually declining in real terms, even as workers throughout the U.S. put in longer hours to help make ends meet.
As a result, workers with less disposable income are holding back on spending, depriving local businesses of the sales revenue they need to expand their operations. In a country where consumer spending makes up 70 percent of the total economy, stagnant wages spell limited growth and a continued weak recovery.
By contrast, the modestly higher wages received by low-paid workers in Vermont this year will go right back into the economy, generating economic growth as these workers put food on their tables and raise their families. According to an analysis from the nonpartisan Economic Policy Institute, Vermont's minimum wage increase this year will boost the average affected worker's pay by $240 per year, generating over $1.4 million in new consumer spending.
While the value of higher wages for Vermont's low-paid workers remains clear, those who oppose any increase in the minimum wage still claim that higher wages will only slow job growth or burden local businesses. These concerns find no support from the facts: Indeed, businesses that pay fair wages to their employees ultimately benefit from reduced turnover and higher worker productivity, as their employees are spared from the struggle of balancing multiple jobs in order to make ends meet.
In fact, the real strain on economic growth in today's economy stems from the decision made by many national fast food chains and big box retailers to inflate their profits by paying rock-bottom wages, siphoning money out of local communities and impoverishing the customer base needed to sustain economic growth.
And yet, while this year's 14-cent minimum wage increase will mean a lot to workers that are struggling just to get by, the truth is that Vermont's minimum wage remains well below the level needed to ensure that full-time work provides a path out of poverty.
Contrary to myth, more than 71 percent of workers benefiting from Vermont's minimum wage increase this year are adults over the age of twenty. Sixty-five percent of these workers are putting in more than 20 hours per week, and 42 percent have at least some college education.
When large numbers of skilled adult workers find themselves relying on the minimum wage to make ends meet, then a national response is required in order to preserve the American Dream of upward economic mobility.
Congress has only acted three times in the last 30 years to raise the federal minimum wage. It's time for a new level of leadership. It's time for Congress to learn from Vermont's example by raising and indexing the minimum wage.

What Charles Barkley can teach us about Ken Whisenhunt
It would be a better column if I could remember the exact date. I could cheat and look it up but I won't. So the story alone -- absent of the hard-core facts -- will have to do.
At halftime of Game 1 of the 1996 NBA Finals between the Seattle Sonics and Chicago Bulls, Charles Barkley shredded the Phoenix Suns organization and demanded a trade. Do you remember that night?
The next day the entire Valley was consumed with conversation and debate. Was Barkley right to call out the team? Was it time to get rid of the bum?
One thing was certain: That was it. No more encores. Time to turn on the house lights so the crowd could file out.
The Barkley years were over.
(Side note: After being traded to the Rockets he said "I called the shots� When push comes to shove I think you have to stand up to the system.")
Sunday night, albeit under an entirely different set of circumstances, feels exactly the same. It feels like the Ken Whisenhunt era is about to end. Needs to end. Perhaps, by the time you read this, it has ended, I don't know.
I'm not sure what I could write that could tell the story more than simply reiterating the score. 58-0. Honestly, what else do you require? The turnovers. The worst quarterback situation in the league. A defense that lost its will after carrying this team all year long, not to mention any lingering resentment over their fined teammate Darnell Dockett.
Here's all I need to know: In consecutive years, the Cardinals have endured losing streaks of seven, six and now nine straight games. Coaches can't survive that and shouldn't survive that. For this reason alone I believe it's time for a change.
The quarterback situation has become so unruly that Richard Bartel tweeted out during the game: "Ok�I'll pay to play." Then added later: "Seriously. Pay." It go so bad that Vince Young tweeted to Larry Fitzgerald during the game: "You know I can help tell coach."
Here is the risk as I see for the Cardinals if they don't fire Whisenhunt; they'll be branded as (all together now) the same old Cardinals. Too cheap to do the right thing and unwilling to eat the $5.5 million or so owed to Whisenhunt for the last year of his contract.
If they keep him, the team can spin it however they'd like, perhaps it would even be the truth. It won't matter. Old perceptions live long and die hard for this organization.
As I mentioned, the Barkley story isn't a perfect comparison. I went to bed on that June evening pissed off that he wanted out. But looking back on it, it was time.
It was time for him to go. And saying that doesn't diminish all the great and wonderful things he did for this city and that team. He made Phoenix Suns basketball matter in a way that it never had before. He was a rock star in every way, the biggest rock star in the sport once Jordan left, and he was ours. Acknowledging his time had come and gone doesn't weaken any of that. Barkley was ready to move on, and even though we didn't recognize it at the time, frankly we were too. Barkley's last year here was a boring 41-41 campaign that ended with a first round nose dive against the Spurs. The era was over whether we were ready for it to be over or not.
In many regards the same can be said for Ken Whisenhunt. He's a terrific coach and a smart man. He brought discipline, structure and a this-is-how-the-NFL-works temperament to a delinquent organization. He led the Arizona Cardinals to the Super Bowl for goodness sakes.
His team was just over two minutes away from winning the damn thing. Like Barkley, Whisenhunt was the ultimate tour guide taking this city to places previously thought unimaginable. How do you say goodbye to that? How can you want to say goodbye to that?
I can almost guarantee; whatever his next job is and whenever that next job happens, he'll own it. Be great at it. I don't doubt that for a second.
But right here, right now, for too long, this team has lost its way under Ken Whisenhunt.
It's time.

Last night I read this at the Daily Dish:
A reader reminds me, apropos this post, of the great quote from Philip Larkin on "difficult art." It's in his wonderful collection of music criticism, "All What Jazz." In it he writes that the great bane of modern jazz and other forms of modern art is that they "take what was once among our pleasures, and place it among our duties."Well, I have a lot of fondness for curmudgeons, but I had to hit the bed and sleep on it cause I was so worked up.
Rarely has the occasional wisdom of curmudgeonly prejudice been better expressed. Which goes for much of Larkin, of course, that crotchety, reactionary dreamer.
Here's a proposition I'm gonna put out there that you kind of have to just buy into, because it can't be proved: I like reading Ulysses. In fact, I love it. I get pleasure out of it. Now here's a thought that is a necessary adjunct: my liking Ulysses is not a statement of value about what other people like, or even worse, a statement about the value of other people who like different things. People take that for granted with 99% of the art and media we consume. But for some reason, when it comes to art that is considered high brow, avant garde, or difficult, people assume judgment. I can't help but think that this assumed judgment plays a big part in attitudes like Andrew's.
"Difficult," when it comes to art, is a difficult word. The idea that there is a contradiction between deriving pleasure from something and being challenged by something is undermined by anyone who has ever played a sport or a video game, hiked a mountain or done a 1000 piece puzzle, surfed or sailed or learned to play guitar. There are all different kinds of pleasures to be had in arts (literary, visual, film, musical, and whatever else). Sometimes what you want is art that announces its pleasures right away, where you can't miss what is enjoyable and where the gifts are immediate. Sometimes what you want is art that challenges and undermines your expectations, that gives its pleasures up grudgingly and in part, and that destabilizes you and what you believe. Both have value. The beauty of it is that, in theory, the choice is yours, and there's no penalty for sticking to any one path.
But only in theory. I would like to ask those who don't like difficult art to practice a little empathy. Because those of us who like books like Ulysses or Carpenter's Gothic, Japanese noise rock, the movies of Bela Tar, or sundry other art consistently labeled as intentionally difficult are constantly being denied that choice. I can't tell you how many times someone, in real life or on the Internet, says in one way or the other "you can't really like that" in response to a particularly challenging work of art. So many ideas seek to undermine the very concept of personal taste and idiosyncratic artistic desires: you only say you like this to be cool/appear arty/justify your graduate program/be a contrarian/feel smart, and on and on. It's not enough for people to say "this is bad" or "I don't like this," which is to be expected. For whatever reason, people feel compelled to deny the very existence of disagreement on the merits of these works. And you'll note that, despite the stereotype, the opposite attitude is vanishingly rare. I have certainly never said "you shouldn't go see Transformers 7, that's too lowbrow," and I find that sentiment almost totally absent from discussion. To say that the people going to see such a movie don't really like it is, I would wager, literally unheard of.
If I can't inspire any sympathy in you, please consider the question in purely practical terms. As someone who comes from a geeky/pop culture loving family, I have been sad to gradually become more and more disgusted by the edifice of pop culture fandom online. I have because I find ingratitude such an ugly failing, and if there is one thing that animates the geek/fanboy mainstream (lovers of comic books, video games, sci fi, fantasy, etc.), it's ingratitude. Everything that is produced in pop culture is made for you, yet the constant attitude is "nobody respects us." Every other movie is a superhero movie. TV is packed with sci fi and fantasy. Video games are omnipresent. And yet all I hear from fanboys (a term I have used in the past with endearment) is the idea that they are some terribly marginalized and oppressed minority. Bullshit. The respect that matters is respect from the commercial establishment, and they have given you everything you want.
Meanwhile, consider people who like the difficult, the abstract, or the obscure. Think of opera fans. Think of fans of orchestral music. Think of fans of live, non-musical, experimental theater. Think of fans of drama that centers on tragedy and adult relationships. They get so much less than those who love pop culture. Pop culture is inescapable; "high-brow" (or whatever) culture is hard to find. To act as though we have too many books like Ulysses and not enough like The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo is to take the conversation into the realm of fantasy. The continued existence of much traditional art is very much threatened. The continued dominance of pop/fanboy culture is assured.
I do like to talk up difficult and avant garde art. Not because I want to lecture or scold, but because there can be such pleasure in it, and pleasure accessible to a far wider array of people than you think. It will never cease to amaze me how many people claim not to like poetry until they have an enthusiastic guide sit down and explore a poem with them. Such a relationship can be a beautiful thing. Also beautiful is the fact that you never need to just choose one or the other. Lord knows I play too many video games.
Just like in politics, the idea that someone, somewhere is sneering at you is a terrible guide for your own behavior. You've got a lot to gain by abandoning the idea, and nothing to gain from keeping it. Personally, I think a lot of this stuff is wrapped up in attitudes that we've got to abandon-- conflating close-mindedness with populism and over reading cultural cues for fear of the dread "snobbery." Whatever the case, consider whether it isn't better simply to say that God made fleas and whales and pronounced both good.

- In the paper by Bolte [Acta Cryst. (2006), E62, m1609-m1610], the chemical name in the title and the chemical diagram are incorrect. The correct title is {5-[4'-(2,2,5,5-Tetramethyl-3-pyrroline-1-oxyl-3-carbonyloxy)biphenyl-4-ylethynyl]-2,3,7,8,12,13,17,18-octaethylporphyrinato}copper(II) benzene solvate' and the correct diagram is given below.
- Trans-Dichloridobis(triphenylphosphane-κP)palladium(II) benzene hemisolvate (2012)
- The title complex, [PdCl2(C18H15P)2]·0.5C6H6, has the PdII ion in a square-planar coordination mode (r.m.s. deviation for Pd, P and Cl atoms = 0.024 Å) with the PPh3 and Cl ligands mutually trans. The benzene solvent molecule is located about a crystallographic inversion centre. The title complex is isostructural with trans-dichloridobis(triphenylphosphane)palladium(II) 1,4-dichlorobenzene sesquisolvate [Kitano et al. (1983 [triangle]). Acta Cryst. C39, 1015–1017].
- The low-temperature structure of diethyl ether magnesium oxybromide (2011)
- The crystal structure of the title compound, hexa-μ2-bromido-μ4-oxido-tetrakis[(diethyl ether)magnesium], [Mg4Br6O(C4H10O)4], determined from data measured at 173 K, differs from the previously known structure of diethyl ether magnesium oxybromide, which was determined from room-temperature data [Stucky & Rundle (1964 [triangle]). J. Am. Chem. Soc. 86, 4821–4825]. The title compound crystallizes in the tetragonal space group I An external file that holds a picture, illustration, etc. Object name is e-67-m1614-efi7.jpg, whereas the previously known structure crystallizes in a different tetragonal space group, namely P An external file that holds a picture, illustration, etc. Object name is e-67-m1614-efi7.jpg21 c. Both molecules have crystallographic An external file that holds a picture, illustration, etc. Object name is e-67-m1614-efi7.jpg symmetry and show almost identical geometric parameters for the Mg, Br and O atoms. The crystal of the title compound turned out to be a merohedral twin emulating a structure with apparent Laue symmetry 4/mmm, whereas the correct Laue group is just 4/m. The fractional contribution of the minor twin component converged to 0.462 (1).
- Tetrakis(diethyl ether)tetra-μ4-oxido-octakis(pentafluorophenyl)octazinc (2011)
- Mol-ecules of the title compound, [Zn(8)(C(6)F(5))(8)O(4)(C(4)H(10)O)(4)], are located on a special position of site symmetry [Formula: see text]. As a result, there is just one quarter-mol-ecule in the asymmetric unit. The title compound features a Zn(4)O(4) cube. Each Zn atom in the cube carries a pentafluorophenyl substituent. Each O atom is bonded to a further Zn atom, which is connected to a pentafluorophenyl substituent and the O atom of a diethyl ether mol-ecule. All ether C atoms are disordered over two sets of sites with a site occupation factor of 0.51 (2) for the major occupied site.
- Tetrabutylammonium tris(methylsulfanylmethyl)phenylborate (2010)
- In the title molecular salt, C16H36N+·C12H20BS3-, three of the four n-butyl chains show a trans conformation, whereas the fourth has the C—C—C—C torsion angle in a gauche conformation [-77.8 (5)°]. In the crystal, molecules are packed in layers parallel to the (101) plane.
- Tetraacetonitrilelithium tetraisothiocyanatoborate (2013)
- The crystal structure of the title salt, [Li(CH3CN)4][B(NCS)4], is composed of discrete cations and anions. Both the Li and B atoms show a tetrahedral coordination by four equal ligands. The acetonitrile and isothiocyanate ligands are linear. The bond angles at the B atom are close to the ideal tetrahedral value [108.92 (18)–109.94 (16)°], but the bond angles at the Li atom show larger deviations [106.15 (17)–113.70 (17)°].
- Tetrakis(μ(3)-9-oxa-10-boraanthracen-10-olato)tetrakis[(diethyl ether)lithium] (2011)
- The title compound, [Li4O4(C12H8BO)4(C4H10O)4], features a Li4O4 cube. Each Li atom in the cube is additionally coordinated by a diethyl ether molecule and each O atom in the cube carries a 9-oxa-10-boraanthracene residue. The crystal studied was a non-merohedral twin [twin law (-1 0 0 / 0 0 1 / 0 1 0); the contribution of the major twin component refined to 0.553 (3)] emulating apparent tetragonal symmetry, whereas the actual crystal system is just orthorhombic.
- Tetra-my3-tert-butanolato-tetrathallium(I) (2010)
- The title compound, [Tl4(C4H9O)4], featuring a (Tl—O)4 cube, crystallizes with a quarter-molecule (located on a special position of site symmetry An external file that holds a picture, illustration, etc. Object name is e-66-m1621-efi1.jpg..) and a half-molecule (located on a special position of site symmetry 23.) in the asymmetric unit. The Tl—O bond distances range from 2.463 (12) to 2.506 (12) Å. All O—Tl—O bond angles are smaller than 90° whereas the Tl—O—Tl angles are wider than a rectangular angle.
- Synthesis and Crystal Structure of 1-(3-fluorophenyl)-3-(3,4,5-trimethoxybenzoyl)thiourea (2011)
- The title thiourea was synthesized by reaction of 3,4,5-trimethoxybenzoyl isothiocyante with 3-fluoroaniline. The 3,4,5-trimethoxybenzoyl isothiocyante was produced in situ by reaction of 3,4,5-trimethoxybenzoyl chloride with ammonium thiocyanate in dry acetonitrile. The structure was confirmed by the spectroscopic, elemental analysis and single crystal X-ray diffraction data. It crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P21/c with unit cell dimensions a = 13.0966(9), b = 16.6460(13), c = 7.8448(5), β = 106.721(5)°, V 1637.9(2) ų, Z = 4.

Aikido sparring clips?
I've Searched.
I've Googled.
Does anyone know of any Aikido sparring clips anywhere?
By "sparring" I mean two people going at it without any pre-arranged sequences or cooperation. The level of contact doesn't matter.
I don't mean demo's. I don't mean drilling.
By "Aikido sparring" I mean two Aikidoka using Aikido. An MMA fighter who has Aikido in his/her arsenal stomping someone's face is not what I'm after. Lord Aisia sparring at a throwdown doesn't count.
Clips of Aikidoka using Aikido in free sparring is what I'm after.
Does such a thing exist?The vast Universe!

I'm not sure if this counts. Apparently the techniques allowed are limited, but not 'cooperative' if you see what I mean :-

By the way, I do not believe I have ever formally apologized for accidentally stealing your name. Generally I register for things with the name "garbanzobean" because no one ever uses a name similar to that and it's easier than spending 45 minutes trying to come up with something creative that no one else has already taken. Sorry for that."No. Listen to me because I know what I'm talking about here." -- Hannibal

1.) The aggressor is rushing forward to the point of offbalancing himself. While this certainly happens, it is considered to be a no-no in the martial arts I've trained in. This certainly does happen, but I'd like to see more of the aikido guy before I say that his energy redirection skillz are mad.
2.) The two takedowns he managed were based on grabbing ahold of the guy's belt and the back of his collar. Again, letting someone get behind you is a big no-no. Also, what does Mr. Aikido grab if he does not have those? Wrist, back of neck? I mean, what if he is going after a sweaty MMA guy (again, hypothetical).
This video is better than the usual shite, but if it's the best Aikido has to offer, no thanks.
I'd definitely like to see more, though."No. Listen to me because I know what I'm talking about here." -- Hannibal

NICEVILLE — Okaloosa County's mismanagement of millions in taxpayer dollars and BP grants will be under scrutiny at the next meeting of Northwest Florida's legislative delegation.
The meeting will be from 5 to 6:30 p.m. next Wednesday at Niceville City Hall.
The Florida Auditor General's Office will make a presentation on the findings of its audit of the Okaloosa County Commission's oversight of the Tourist Development Council and the use of bed taxes and BP funds.
Read the state auditor general's final report for yourself.
Rep. Matt Gaetz, who set the agenda for the meeting, said he believes "a full vetting" is necessary for the public to get the answers it deserves.
"It's devastating that our county was being run with such lax oversight," he said. "No one person should be able to steal this amount of money from the taxpayers. We can't be that vulnerable."
County Administrator Jim Curry said Commissioner Dave Parisot, vice chairman of the board, is scheduled to represent the county at the meeting.
The auditor general's report on the County Commission focused on the management of the TDC from May 2010 to May 2012. Okaloosa County Sheriff Larry Ashley, along with Matt Gaetz and his father, Senate President Don Gaetz, requested the audit in May 2012 after county officials discovered a fraud scheme put in place by former tourism head Mark Bellinger.
County commissioners discovered May 1 that Bellinger had purchased a $710,000 yacht with bed tax money without their authorization. Three days later, Bellinger took a fatal dose of Benadryl in Pelham, Ala. That same day authorities revealed he had also used $747,000 in BP oil spill money to pay for his home in Destin.
In the months following, the list of purchases Bellinger made illegally or without county approval grew to include two RVs, Visa debit cards, furniture, food and entertainment. One of Bellinger's first thefts — the purchase of a $48,000 Porsche Cayman — occurred three months after he was hired in May 2010.
Matt Gaetz said the meeting will give lawmakers and residents a chance to ask questions about the audit or comment on the findings.
"I hope a lot of people take the time to attend," he said.
The Auditor General's Office issued its final audit report late Wednesday. That document also includes the corrective action report the county was required to submit to the state in response to the findings.
Don Gaetz said he is eager to hear what the auditor general has to say about report and the county's response.
"Clearly, the auditor general's report on the financial stewardship of Okaloosa County is a huge local issue," he said. "To be able to ask them questions in public is the right thing to do."
He said he has read the county's corrective action report and found it "a useful document."
"I think the question, obviously, is whether the citizens of the county and whether policymakers at the state level can trust that the County Commission has learned its lesson and is going to operate in a different way," he said.
Don Gaetz said the director of the TDC was never meant to function as a "one-person authority."
"It is supposed to be a system of oversight, checks and balances," he said.
Matt Gaetz said he wants to hear more details about the lack of oversight that led to the theft and misuse of public money.
"I believe there may be individuals (within county government) who are criminally culpable for their conduct," he said.
WANT TO ATTEND? The legislative delegation will meet at 5 p.m. next Wednesday at Niceville City Hall.

Is it Spring yet? If they can't bring me snow then it might as well be spring. I glance out the window and up into the steely skies and wonder if it is as chilly out as I imagine it is or is it only cold inside this old, rambling apartment? We are still eating soup every single night for dinner, and how cozy it is! The young dudes have a surprising three week vacation so are here at our house every single day working, working, working late into the night. I love the noise and bustle, the chatter of youthful voices, the bouncing excitement of Marty as he attempts hourly to insinuate himself into the all-male crowd. JP and I enjoy a salad at noon then sneak into the kitchen in the early evening to prepare our soup and cheese platter (are we Old Folks now?), making a quick getaway, leaving the kitchen open to the guys. Bowls of spaghetti with pesto, hunks of cheese and entire loaves of bread fuel their young bodies and minds, the clatter of silverware, pots and pans and laughter drowned out by the music blaring from the tiny kitchen radio perched atop the shiny red shelves. Happy is this mother when she hears the rush of the tap water and the cheerful jabbering as the young dudes wash the sink full of dishes, leaving a clean kitchen for me to find the following morning.
And three complete weeks of a houseful of twenty-somethings means that I can bake and bake to my heart's content. I peek my head around the corner of the bedroom door and ask "Cake?" as three pairs of eyes turn towards me and light up! The fourth pair of lovely brown eyes rolls heavenward in annoyance and disgust at his mother once again pushing cake and cookies at his friends, yet aren't the rest of them thrilled with the offerings of dessert and snack? I push open the door and walk in unasked, unannounced, platter of cookies or cakes held aloft as Marty prances around my feet, and simply place the plate on the edge of the desk, smile and leave. They glance nervously in Clem's direction, wondering if they can partake and enjoy without his disdain, without feeling as if they are abetting the opposition, in cahoots with his baking mom, stepping over into enemy territory. Yet hours later after they have all packed up and headed home, I go to collect the cake platter and find it empty. "Was it good?" I wonder aloud. "Yes," he answers grudgingly, loathe to admit that what I have baked was enjoyed by one and all, including himself.
I have said it before and I stand by my former statements: I am not one who enjoys making tiny things: cookies are my bane, and no matter how much I love grabbing a handful and nibbling on a stack of great, moist, chewy cookies, one after the next, while curled up with a good book, the making of them is highly overrated: It is hard, time-consuming work demanding an entire afternoon with nose stuck to the oven window, the most unforgiving of all baked goods. Those, like myself, who are easily distracted or wildly undisciplined multi-taskers are hopeless cookie burners. Cupcakes are not my piece of cake, truth be told, fussy and feminine, less enticing than a thick slice of cake where all the dense, moist, chocolaty goodness is there for all the world to see, offering itself up to you openly, unfalteringly, not coy like the cupcake all wrapped up in a paper casing, hidden under an overpowering slather of icing, never giving you the choice of how much you are allowed to eat. Yet…yet, once in a while the right recipe comes along or just the situation in which a tiny this or an individual that is somehow just perfect! Tiramisù molded in perfect rounds and served up on single dessert plates, one per person, is sexy indeed, giving each guest the feeling of luxury and being pampered by the offering of something so gorgeous, rich and voluptuous, so personal. Single glasses of thick, creamy puddings, panna cotta or crème brulée are delightful, grab one out of the refrigerator any time, day or night, and indulge without disturbing the others. And individual tiny Bundlet cakes, the most attractive shape like something royal, popped out of the pan, baring itself and all of its goodness to the world unhampered by paper wrappings and drizzled with a sensuous draping of velvety smooth, glistening chocolate ganache. Now that is worth the effort!
So as the boys work, I bake and I tiptoe into the room where they are working in a haze of youthful energy and passion and carefully and silently place a platter of meltingly smooth fondants before them. A fondant is simply a cake so moist and tender that it melts in the mouth, so light and ethereal it disappears in a flash, fading into a sweet afterthought. The chestnut flour gives these cakes a rather strange yet intriguing, addictive, nutty yet deeply earthy flavor, a perfect pairing with the deep bittersweet chocolate ganache, subduing the sweetness of the cake just so, adding a chocolate zing to the chestnut just so, making a wonderfully luxurious, absolutely intense, complex, irresistible combination.
My individual Chestnut Fondant Bundlets and mini-cupcakes with Chocolate Ganache are just perfect for this month's Monthly Mingle, created by our own lovely, talented Meeta of What's For Lunch, Honey? This month hostess with the mostess is my wonderful friend Astrid of Paulchen's Foodblog and her theme is Small Bites… just like my cakelets!
I would also love to share this with Ivonne of Cream Puffs in Venice for Magazine Mondays. This recipe is based on Fondant Châtaigne-Chocolat found in French Saveurs février 2011.
If you haven't decided on that special dessert to offer your beloved on Valentine's Day, I have two wonderful ideas on Huffington Post Food, a luxurious, sexy Tiramisù and a rich, decadent Flourless Chocolate Truffle Torte. Two amazing ways to say « I Love You ».
Chestnut Fondant Bundlets with Chocolate Ganache
Makes 12 mini Bundt cakes + 24 mini cupcakes
- or – 24 mini Bundt cakes – or – 24 cupcakes
(5.3 oz,150 g) chestnut flour
1.8 oz (50 g) cake flour
7.7 oz (220 g) sugar
¼ tsp salt
7 oz (200 g) unsalted butter
4 large eggs, separated
7/8 cup (200 ml) milk
Butter for greasing the tins, paper casings for lining muffin tins
Chocolate Ganache:
3.6 oz (100 g) bittersweet or semisweet chocolate, chopped
½ cup (125 ml) heavy cream
Prepare the ganache by bringing the heavy cream to a boil in a small saucepan and then pouring it over the chopped chocolate in a heatproof (Pyrex) bowl. Stir until the chocolate is completely melted and perfectly smooth. Leave to cool at room temperature.
Prepare the Chestnut Fondants:
Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Generously butter the Bundtlet tins and line the muffin tins with paper casings.
Melt the butter in a small saucepan over low heat, removing from the heat when the butter is almost but not quite melted. Stir off of the heat until all of the butter is melted. Put aside to cool a bit.
In a large mixing bowl bowl, sift the chestnut flour with the cake flour then stir in the sugar and the salt. Whisk to combine.
Add the egg yolks to the dry ingredients and whisk, adding the butter as you blend. Add the milk and whisk until everything is well blended.
Using an electric mixer or beaters with very clean beaters, whip the whites until stiff peaks hold. Using a spatula, fold the beaten whites into the chestnut cake batter in thirds until the whites are completely blended in and no white chunks are visible. Do not overfold or you risk breaking the whites and losing the air.
Carefully fill the tins with batter filling up almost but not quite to the rims. To make this easier, you can either use a soup ladle or pour the batter into a large glass measuring cup with a spout or lip.
Bake the Bundlets for 20 minutes until puffed, set and just golden. Remove from the oven and allow to cool for about 5 minutes or so in the tins before carefully lifting or turning them out onto cooling racks to cool completely.
Before serving, drizzle the cooled chocolate ganache (thick but still pouring consistency) over the Bundlets and cupcakes.
If you prefer, you can fold about a cup (100 g) of mini chocolate chips into the batter instead of glazing with the ganache.

Mini bundts? Chocolate ganache? You are talking my language! Lovely for your Valentine and I am a firm believer that eating dessert in mini form makes it all the more special!

So funny that I think totally the opposite. To me nothing is easier than cookies but cakes on the other hand often intimidate me. I blame the altitude for my failures. I can just imagine how much your son's friends enjoyed these fabulous mini cakes!

I still have miraculously a mini-bundt cakelets pan and I might just make these! I love the idea of chestnut flour, which makes it nutty and taste not so sweet and the ganache is just enough chocolate. My kid too used to be blasé about my homemade goodies until he moved out. Now it is a different attitude altogether.

These are beyond gorgeous!
See, I'm the opposite when it comes to baking. I'd much rather make a few dozen cookies than one big, fancy layer cake. The cookies are relaxing to make; while the cake is much more stressful. ;)

Ah Jamie, but we don't have to stop at one cupcake now do we? :) I tell myself that I'm not really eating all that much cake, because they're so little. And I know I would definitely have to have more than one of your little fondants! Oh my goodness, they are bundlets of beauty.

Chestnut flour IS wonderful, but I have been told to only buy it in the fall or it is not fresh. Do you find that? Or, do you freeze it to keep it fresher? I have never heard of fondant being describes as any other thing than the insides of a chocolate. I love your mothering. I think that is the way it should be in every home. I try to do that here - but, now there are only two.
Wonderful delightful cakes - and your description has me salivating!!!!
I love getting your posts by mail!

Reminiscent of our Timeless Classic Jefferson, the perforations and toe medallion on this six eyelet wing tip balmorals truly flashy on this model. Premium double aged burnished calfskin has a supple finish. The artistic nature of this timeless style is expertly offset by the stalwart profile of the artisan bi color heel and wheeled edge sole. Completed with deluxe details like an ultra soft lambskin lining, brass nails in the heel and a brass vintage Allen Edmonds nameplate on the outsole, we believe it is self evident that the Jefferson is the premium dress shoe for the man who is writing his own history.

THE DOUBLE. By George Pelecanos. Little, Brown. 292 pages. $26.
George Pelecanos has written a book that is more than a formulaic thriller. It explores the effects of war on those who serve in the battlefield.
His protagonist, Spero Lucas, is a private investigator pursuing right over wrong with his own code of justice, a former Marine whose experiences in Fallujah, Iraq, are part of who he is.
The main story involves a stolen painting valued at around $80,000. In discovering the thugs who have it, Lucas finds he is dealing with the most dangerous of men, those without a conscience, the lowlifes of society.
The story builds slowly, but it's well worth the wait for the hold-your-breath scenes. There is almost a biblical sense of "smite thine enemy" in the telling.
Many scenes are disturbingly graphic, but Pelecanos tells the story his way and leaves it to the reader to decide whether justice has been served.
Reviewer Frances Monaco is a writer in Charleston.

The Girl Scouts are facing bullying head on as they use their "Powered Up: Doing Nothing? Not an Option!" program in local schools. This 8 week program started in the Antlers Intermediate School (Vegher) on February 28th and has been held every Monday from 2:15-3:00 p.m. (except for spring break week).
Through this program an environment is created where girls and adults form a partnership to put an end to bullying. It focuses on the bystanders who make up 85% of the population in bullying situations. The bystanders are encouraged to recognize the strength in their numbers and use it to intervene when they see something is wrong.
Powered Up is focused on preventing the unique relational bulling prevalent among girls. Other programs focus on physical and verbal bullying, but few address relational aggression, the systematic diminishment of a child's sense of self worth through exclusion, shunning and gossip.
Through this program the girls will learn, in an all girl environment where they will feel safer to share, about what bullying is and what they can do to help prevent it and stop it. Participants create a culture of kindness where they will discuss sensitive issues and begin to identify key aspects of relational aggression.
Also in this program they identify bullying behaviors and develop and practice a plan to effectively intervene when they witness bullying. They are given an opportunity to ask each other for help and support in becoming defenders, which ensures that the curriculum is relevant to the directness of the participants. Most importantly, they learn that when witnessing someone being bullied, doing nothing is not an option!
For more information about bullying and how to recognize the signs and symptoms of bullying, and how to help your kids stand up against bullies visit www.stopbullyingnow.hrsa.gov or www.bullying.org.

- Vaccinia virus replication is not affected by APOBEC3 family members (2006)
- The potential use of variola virus, the causative agent of smallpox, as a bioweapon and the endemic presence of monkeypox virus in Africa demonstrate the need for better therapies for orthopoxvirus infections. Chemotherapeutic approaches to control viral infections have been less successful than those targeting bacterial infections. While bacteria commonly reproduce themselves outside of cells and have metabolic functions against which antibiotics can be directed, viruses replicate in the host cells using the cells' metabolic pathways. This makes it very difficult to selectively target the virus without damaging the host. Therefore, the development of antiviral drugs against poxviruses has initially focused on unique properties of the viral replication cycle or of viral proteins that can be selectively targeted. However, recent advances in molecular biology have provided insights into host factors that represent novel drug targets. The latest anti-poxvirus drugs are kinase inhibitors, which were originally developed to treat cancer progression but in addition block egress of poxviruses from infected cells. This review will summarize the current understanding of anti-poxvirus drugs and will give an overview of the development of the latest second generation poxvirus drugs.
- Soluble serum CD81 is elevated in patients with chronic hepatitis C and correlates with alanine aminotransferase serum activity (2012)
- Aim: Cellular CD81 is a well characterized hepatitis C virus (HCV) entry factor, while the relevance of soluble exosomal CD81 in HCV pathogenesis is poorly defined. We performed a case-control study to investigate whether soluble CD81 in the exosomal serum fraction is associated with HCV replication and inflammatory activity. Patients and Methods: Four cohorts were investigated, patients with chronic hepatitis C (n = 37), patients with chronic HCV infection and persistently normal ALT levels (n = 24), patients with long term sustained virologic response (SVR, n = 7), and healthy volunteers (n = 23). Concentration of soluble CD81 was assessed semi-quantitatively after differential centrifugation ranging from 200 g to 100,000 g in the fifth centrifugation fraction by immunoblotting and densitometry. Results: Soluble CD81 was increased in patients with chronic hepatitis C compared to healthy subjects (p = 0.03) and cured patients (p = 0.017). Patients with chronic HCV infection and persistently normal ALT levels and patients with long term SVR had similar soluble CD81 levels as healthy controls (p>0.2). Overall, soluble CD81 levels were associated with ALT levels (r = 0.334, p = 0.016) and severe liver fibrosis (p = 0.027). Conclusion: CD81 is increased in the exosomal serum fraction in patients with chronic hepatitis C and appears to be associated with inflammatory activity and severity of fibrosis.
- Serum Autotaxin Is a Parameter for the Severity of Liver Cirrhosis and Overall Survival in Patients with Liver Cirrhosis – A Prospective Cohort Study (2014)
- Background: Autotaxin (ATX) and its product lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) are considered to be involved in the development of liver fibrosis and elevated levels of serum ATX have been found in patients with hepatitis C virus associated liver fibrosis. However, the clinical role of systemic ATX in the stages of liver cirrhosis was unknown. Here we investigated the relation of ATX serum levels and severity of cirrhosis as well as prognosis of cirrhotic patients. Methods: Patients with liver cirrhosis were prospectively enrolled and followed until death, liver transplantation or last contact. Blood samples drawn at the day of inclusion in the study were assessed for ATX content by an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. ATX levels were correlated with the stage as well as complications of cirrhosis. The prognostic value of ATX was investigated by uni- and multivariate Cox regression analyses. LPA concentration was determined by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. Results: 270 patients were enrolled. Subjects with liver cirrhosis showed elevated serum levels of ATX as compared to healthy subjects (0.814±0.42 mg/l vs. 0.258±0.40 mg/l, P<0.001). Serum ATX levels correlated with the Child-Pugh stage and the MELD (model of end stage liver disease) score and LPA levels (r = 0.493, P = 0.027). Patients with hepatic encephalopathy (P = 0.006), esophageal varices (P = 0.002) and portal hypertensive gastropathy (P = 0.008) had higher ATX levels than patients without these complications. Low ATX levels were a parameter independently associated with longer overall survival (hazard ratio 0.575, 95% confidence interval 0.365–0.905, P = 0.017). Conclusion: Serum ATX is an indicator for the severity of liver disease and the prognosis of cirrhotic patients.


text: Embark is described as a "dark reddish brown [with a Matte finish]." It's a dark brown with subtle, warm red undertones and a matte finish. It had decent color payoff, but the texture is a combination of soft yet dry, so it doesn't yield the best color payoff, though it is buildable. It isn't quite as effortlessly blended, but it is workable. This shade is permanent, though the one included in the quad was less pigmented than the permanent one I have. Make Up For Ever #162 (P, $20.00) is darker, richer. Bobbi Brown Cocoa (P, $22.00) is darker. See comparison swatches / view dupes.

It looks like Saturday night's "El Clásico" between Real Madrid and Barcelona will be the last major Spanish league game that we will be able to enjoy for a while, as the Wall Street Journal has reported that the as of next week players will be striking.
The strike affects the top four divisions of the league, the Primera, Segunda A, Segunda B and Tercera divisions. The AFE (Spanish Players Union) said that 85% of soccer players in Spain's top three divisions either get paid late or not at all. It also says that the Spanish Football Federation still owes the union €8 million ($10.7 million).
In the US we are very used to hearing about strikes. Major League Baseball, the NBA and the NHL have all been effected fairly recently by strike shortened seasons. The difference though is that these strikes were related to potential future earnings, not money owed. While this strike pertains mostly to soccer players playing in the lower tiers of Spain's professional soccer league, it is still quite disconcerting to see that owners of professional soccer clubs are unwilling or unable to pay players what was promised.
On the bright side, it is nice to see that the more financially secure and powerful players in "La Liga" are supporting the up and coming and/or less talented players in the lower divisions. Without the support of the Primera division players, this strike would surely be taken less seriously.
Sadly it also means that we may miss some games in one of the world's top soccer leagues, let us hope that it is all resolved shortly.

"Plenty to do in Dedham"
Plenty of shopping, restaurants, theaters, museums and parks. Dedham is one of the nicest cities in Massachusetts. It's got the same charm as Boston, but without all the high prices.
