Dr. Paul LaVergne, arts and science department chair and Said Lamhaouar, associate vice president of academic support services, attended the Alliance of Hispanic Serving Institutions Educators (AHSIE) fifth Best Practices Conference March 11-13 at New Jersey City University in Jersey City where they shared their knowledge about STEM learning communities with over 40 session participants.
Vaughn's session entitled "The Design and Implementation of a STEM Related Learning Community" fell under the conference theme of STEM teaching for Hispanics. Professor LaVergne and Mr. Lamhaouar held a group discussion focusing on how professors can integrate these courses in a learning communities setting.
"Our presentation delved into the similarities and differences in teaching and learning methods of these subjects and how best to apply collaborative inquiry-based learning to increase student outcomes," said LaVergne.
In addition to presenting, LaVergne and Lamhaouar were able to attend interesting sessions focusing on the utilization of peer mentors to retain HIS students and the role of Supplemental Instructor (SI Tutors).
"It was great to be able to attend the conference, present our knowledge and learn from the success of others," said Lamhaouar. "We will institute new ideas from the conference as appropriate to improve our programs here at Vaughn."
The conference, which has previously been held in New Mexico, California and Texas, is designed to enable grantees of HSI grant programs the opportunity to share best practices, network and learn how to get the most impact from grant funding. Over 30 sessions with topics from evaluation to grant management were offered. The conference theme was "From Seed to Tree: Cultivating Leadership and Success in HSIs."

When starting my app I at first have to read in some data, have to init some forms and so on. For that time the user sees just grey getting-ready to show something forms.
This lasts for a few seconds...
I thought of a Splash Screen that loads the data in a seperate Thread and also shows how long it will take. Or just a status bar?
How would you do something like this?

A new survey puts numbers to people's anxieties about the future.
AARP Illinois used the Illinois State Fair's Senior Day Monday to roll out results of a survey of about 800 voters – roughly half of whom are retired.
"They worry about their incomes not keeping up with the cost of living," says AARP Illinois advocacy director Ryan Gruenenfelder. "with health care costs, and taxes. Voters who are not yet retired are feeling especially anxious, and half of them say they have postponed or will postpone retirement."
64 percent worry about paying too much in taxes. 56 percent worry about their income not keeping up with the cost of living. Half worry about not having financial security in retirement. Half have postponed or will postpone retirement.
The results for whom respondents favor for governor show Republican challenger Bruce Rauner leading incumbent Gov. Pat Quinn by nine percentage points with 13 percent undecided, but there's also frustration that people aren't getting specifics from either one about how they'd address their concerns.

Cooling-off period for buying a used car
When you buy a used car from a licensed motor dealer, you're entitled to a cooling-off period of 1 business day. You can cancel the contract during the cooling-off period without large penalties.
A licensed motor dealer cannot refuse to grant you a cooling-off period.
There is no cooling-off period for new vehicles.
After you sign the contract, the cooling-off period will end either:
- on the dealer's next business day at 5pm
- if the dealer closes before 5pm, the following business day at their usual closing time.
You can drive away with the vehicle during this time. However, you will lose your right to a cooling-off period if you do.
This doesn't count if you take the vehicle:
- to an independent mechanic for an inspection
- for a test drive.
The cooling-off period doesn't apply when you buy a used vehicle:
- on consignment
- at auction
- privately
- if you are a motor dealer yourself (unless you're buying it for personal use).
Once you and the dealer have signed the sales contract, it's binding on the dealer.
You are bound by the contract as soon as:
- the cooling-off period expires
- you drive away with the vehicle during the cooling-off period.
Cooling-off period form
Before you sign the contact, the dealer must fill out and give you the cooling-off period form.
If you don't get this form, the dealer must give you a 7 day cooling-off period instead of 1 day.
The dealer can charge you a non-refundable deposit during the cooling-off period. The amount cannot be more than $100.
If you go ahead with the sale, the dealer takes away this amount from the vehicle's sale price. If you end the contract, the dealer may keep some or all of your deposit.
The dealer must tell you in writing about these conditions.
Ending the contract
To end a contract, write to the dealer to tell them that you don't want to go ahead with the sale.
You can deliver it in person, by email or fax.
The dealer cannot refuse your attempt to use your cooling-off period rights.
Interest from another buyer
The dealer may give another person a chance to buy a vehicle, even once it's under contract. The second buyer can only buy the car if the existing contract falls through. This is usually when the original buyer ends their contract during the cooling-off period.
Once the original buyer takes the vehicle home, the dealer must fully refund the second buyer's deposit.
Consignment vehicles
A consignment vehicle is sold on behalf of someone else. Usually a consignment sale involves a motor dealer selling a vehicle on behalf of its owner.
Consignment vehicles don't have a cooling-off period.
The dealer must tell you that:
- it's a consignment vehicle
- the cooling-off period doesn't apply.
Any advertisements must also clearly state this.
Vehicle trade-in
You may have traded in your old vehicle as part of the agreement. The dealer must return it to you if you cancel in the cooling-off period.

The amount of loan will vary from Rs. 50,000 to Rs. one million with
an annual interest rate of 12 percent. The security for the loan will
depend on the amount sought. The repayment period will be from three

Just finish with whole mobs on server(Drop/hp/skin).Then add this one.
Thanks for the update.
A little feedback I Already said that in an other thread once:
I would love roaming mobs of the aggressive kind, that are a challenge to fight as a group.
I believe the implementation of nonagressive mobs is a step in the right direction, might help to farm leather or food, but it can only be the first step of several to come.
Once again is this going to be added this patch or the next, should we expect an answer to our questions regarding this thread. (edited as my deleted post wasnt aparently on topic enough)
Awesome! This is something I've wanted since beta... that and player-owned merchants... jesus DF is getting better and better.

A few "neutral" spawn would be nice aswel, just spawning NPCs that work like mobbs, but don't act hostile towards players, just to give immersion, could be in places like castles or the likes.
They have the same walk patterns mobbs has, they walk alone or in groups, they don't actually have to do anything for starters, but inhabiting the castles and other random areas that people now just see as empty wouldn't be to bad.
Allot of addons can be done as time passes to those, but to begin with, just player friendly mobbs that allow you to enter their area and it looks inhabited.
Cowtipping would be a very nice feature.
Also deer hats, with antlers.
Great news!
Implementation will of course determine how it turns out but sounds great! I would love to see other creatures like deer that run away as soon as they see you (and you can try to creep up on them), ya know -- hunting, and not killing weak mobs that don't have an AI leash
What would be even cooler... If the whole world was dynamic in terms of wildlife. In other words if players farm a lot of deer in one area wolves may begin to start moving to other areas looking for food and so on and so forth. (This was in UO's original play book but of course never panned out).
good 2 know maybe they have those wolfs that can smell u from down wind at somepoint that they mentioned awhile back
definitely something to look forward, i was missing some wildlife and hope it will make the gameworld more immersive than now.
Now if you also manage to balance the game there is still hope

Dental Video Advertising for Cosmetic Dentists
NEW: Dentist Video Search Engine Optimization
The Secret to Getting NEW Fee for Service Patients
There has been an increased amount of competition between cosmetic dentists and if you have been in the profession for some time you may have seen your growth slow down or flatten in the last few years. With increased competition the need for successful marketing becomes much more important to generate new high quality patients. Whether its marketing in a local high end magazine, placing radio ads or TV marketing, one thing is for certain you need to have a system in place to convert leads into happy fee for service patients.
First off, as a cosmetic dentist you need to have a great product, you need to be able to deliver a great set of veneers that will last for years.!
Technical skills alone are not enough to make any form of marketing successful, you need to be able to handle patient inquiries similar to that of a 5 star hotel. Patients looking to get porcelain veneers or some other form of cosmetic dentistry are buying a big ticket item, therefore do not be offended when a patient asks you your price for veneers. This is not a negative question, most patients don't know the difference between a good veneer or a bad one. Educate them and explain the difference and you will find price is taken out of the equation. Most patients are not necessarily looking for the lowest price they are looking for good value.
Our dental advertising for cosmetic dentists online is not just about throwing up links to your dental website. That isn't going to make a noticeable difference to your bottom line. The best way to learn about our internet dental marketing system is to contact us by phone at 1-866-782-1753

n8wxs, on 19 January 2011 - 01:23 PM, said:
I'm puzzled by this post by n8wxs from this thread.
The OP's code seemed to work correctly after I added cin.clear(), and adding cin.sync() after that didn't seem to make any difference in Linux or in Windows.
I tried the following code under both Linux and XP:
#include <iostream> using namespace std; int main() { char c=127; cin >> c; cout << (unsigned short)c << endl; cin.clear(); cin >> c; cout << (unsigned short)c << endl; return 0; }
The only difference that I can see is that in Linux when I enter Ctrl-D the default value of 127 is immediately printed and the program then waits for the next keyboard input. Whereas in Windows when I enter Ctrl-z, ^Z is echoed, then the program waits for <enter> before it actually reads the EOF and prints 127, and then waits for the next input.
So, in Windows my input is Ctrl-Z <enter> y <enter> and in Linux Ctrl-D y <enter>
and the output in Windows looks like this:
and in Linux it looks like
Either way, I don't see any 'EOF' character that needs to be extracted. Also, adding cin.sync() after the cin.clear() in this program doesn't seem to make any difference in its behavior in Linux or Windows. So what is it's purpose (and what was n8wxs referring to)?
(Edit: corrected typo in the Linux output.)

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
I've signed on to do a gruelling 300-mile, 24-hour ride for charity, in advance of the annual IBC trade show in Amsterdam. Myself and about a dozen other riders will be taxing ourselves to our limits to raise funds for Vision Charity, a TV industry charity that gives blind and visually impaired children a better chance to succeed in life. The event has a fundraising target of £100,000, combining rider sponsorship and corporate donations.
This cause is noble----funding projects that allow blind and visually impaired children to do things they might not otherwise be able to do, and thus expand their lives. 20 years ago I was the 'captain' on a tandem (2 seater) bike for a blind 'stoker' who had not ridden a bike in years. He was thrilled to experience that bit of self-made speed again and I never forgot that. If more people can have experiences like that I'd be happy ...
Now for the bit & pieces: Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they'll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it's the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
So please donate now-----any amount will help.
And special thanks to the event organisers, especially Ciaran Doran of Harris Broadcast.

Easy to drive with light controls, it is ideal for tackling urban routes and although some of the engines are a little lethargic, it's happy pottering along the motorway too. Summary Driving & Performance Equipment Comfort Costs Safety & Reliability Buying & Selling Owners' Reviews Also Consider Facts & Figures Gallery 2.5 out of 5 Comfort View full gallery Most of the engines in the 206 are loud, not helped by the obvious lack of noise insulation while there's intrusive wind noise at higher speed. It certainly doesn't feel very refined. The lack of support in the front seats can make longer journeys tiring and the cramped driving position doesn't help comfort either - it's certainly not a car that is designed for long motorway journeys.On the plus side rear passenger space isn't bad for a car of this size, but when compared to newer rivals it seems quite cramped. 3.5 out of 5 Practicality View full gallery With 237 litres of luggage space the 206 is average compared to other small cars - although the Ford Fiesta and its big rival the Renault Clio both offer more. The boot itself is a good shape though and the split folding rear seats means it's possible to carry larger items. Folding them boosts space to a useful 1,100 litres but up front there's only limited storage. Get a Peugeot 206 valuation How does the boot space compare? Ford Fiesta (02-08) 261 litres Renault Clio Hatchback (01-08) 252 litres Peugeot 206 (98-09) 237 litres Toyota Yaris (99-05) 205 litres 2 out of 5 Behind the wheel View full gallery While the exterior styling has aged well, the same cannot be said of the interior. The layout is fairly neat with a nice information screen on top of the dash but the scratchy plastics, unsupportive seats and the odd rattle do little to instil confidence in longevity and durability. But the biggest bugbear is the awful driving position. The pedals are too close together and the steering wheel is too far from the driver and sits at an odd angle.There's a lack of storage too.

Very Good HairdryerI have short, irritatingly wavy hair and I need a powerful hairdryer to straighten the waves but not fry my scalp. This is a great hairdryer for me. The hot, high setting is not so hot as to harm, but great on quick, smooth drying. I like the non-ion feature and it does seem to make my hair shine. The dryer is heavier than most small dryers that I own, but it was easy to get used to. Remember, I have short hair, so drying time is about 4 minutes. I like the shape of the handle. Yes, you can inadvertently turn the dryer off, but you adjust your grip and you're fine. The dryer seems well-made and sturdy, unlike the lighter dryers I have. I would recommend this dryer, especially for short-haird people.May 31, 2010Sally

Can't Live Without This Now...I cannot begin to tell you how happy I am with this product. After going from my Sallys Beauty Supply Hair Dyer that I thought I loved to this one, I was in awe of what my hair looks like. I can use the Ions to get smooth silky hair or no ions for that vavavoom look with lots of volume at the rooms. The cord is so long which makes this so helpful if I am using the dryer during a makeover also. Love this and will definitely be getting an awesome review on my channel. I will be honest and say that I have not had the best luck with CHI hair dryers but this one is just build so solid and as soon as I pick it up, turn it on...I can tell the difference from any dryer I have ever used. Amazing!May 30, 2010Jennifer D. / Northern Virginia

Still LearningA pro hair dryer is something to get used to. Even the low setting is as strong as high on my old Conair. I'm not sure where they are getting 6 heat settings. I could only configure 4: High speed & high heat, low speed & low heat, high speed & low heat, low speed and high heat. Since the cool shot button is listed separately so I don't think that counts. Did they send me the right product? Otherwise, pretty good. My hair is dry in 5 minutes.May 27, 2010Tharon / United States

Loveeee This Dryer!!!After searching for a dryer that does not make my hair condition any worse I decided to buy this. It is excellent. It dried my hair super fast (10 mins) and it looks super shiny and even healthy. However, I found it SUPER HEAVY. I have shoulder-lenght hair and after just 10 mins my arms were aching. Guess it will take me some time to get used to it.May 20, 2010Widalys / Ohio

Love ItI love this hair dryer!! It has cut my drying/flat ironing time to 12-15 minutes from 20+. I have medium thickness/wavy/shoulder length hair. It is small, powerful and light weight. Yes, the cord is longer than needed but I don't think it makes it any heavier. I also use the sedu flat iron and I could not be happier with the results of both products.May 7, 2010Candace / Chicago, ILHAIR TYPEThick or Coarse Hair / Medium Hair

Hoping For MoreI've had my eye on this hair dryer for over a year. I vacillated between this unit and the green version but wanted the option of turning off the ion feature. I finally ordered it when Folica offered a $20 discount. I'm a little disappointed. The dryer is a bit heavier than expected and the buttons are very awkwardly placed. I have layered hair and use a round brush. I also toggle between the low and high settings. I find that I spend more time styling my hair with this dryer. While this dryer may be good for long, non-layered hair, I truly don't see a difference between it and my drugstore blow dryer. I guess I'll be returning this unit and sticking with my $25 blow dryer.May 3, 2010Shelley

Lesson 13: When People Show You Who They Are, Believe Them
This guided workbook will be your companion to lesson thirteen from Oprah's Lifeclass.
If the most awful person you ever met gets a score of -10, and the most wonderful person gets a score of +10, what score would you give other people in your life? Make your list, below.
Who's showing you negative, positive, or neutral qualities right now? Are you responding appropriately? How could you be more true to your knowledge?
What relationships in your life are potentially rewarding, but not actually rewarding? Who's in your life based purely on "potential"?
Where are you doing the same thing over and over and expecting others to react or behave differently?
What's the difference between trust and love? Can you choose to love someone but make the decision not to trust them completely?
We often put up with people whose flaws remind us of people who raised us. Do you repeatedly trust people who tell you they have problems (addiction, money problems, anger issues) that are similar to your family of origin?
Are you getting negative feedback about someone in your life from several unconnected third parties? Does what they've shown others cause you to re-think your opinion?
Are you ignoring something you sense is important because if you admitted your truth, it may lead to the end of a relationship?
Where can you free yourself from a bad relationship to leave space for a better one?

Pic works best as a showcase for its veteran cast, particularly Elisabeth Shue in a playful perf as a small-town femme fatale faking terminal illness.
A film noir set mostly in broad daylight, "Don McKay," writer-director Jake Goldberger's mild riff on "Double Indemnity," etc., works best as a showcase for its veteran cast, particularly Elisabeth Shue in a playful perf as a small-town femme fatale faking terminal illness. As the titular homme futile, exec producer Thomas Haden Church displays aptly geeky gullibility in a film that most resembles John Dahl's twisty cable/theatrical hybrids of the mid-'90s. Unlike Dahl's "Red Rock West," though, Goldberger's oddly laid-back thriller will stick exclusively to smallscreen slots.Pushing an electric broom in Nowheresville, high school janitor Don (Church) is summoned to the town of Mount Raven by his childhood sweetheart Sonny (Shue), who looks to be the healthiest cancer patient alive. Suspiciously begging to spend the "rest of my short life" with a milquetoast loser, sexy Sonny turns up the body heat but somehow can't get Don to the altar as required by her gold-digging plot. Despite the blackly comic appearance of a corpse about halfway thru, the pic doesn't gather sufficient steam until its surprise-packed final reel, in which Melissa Leo earns laughs as Sonny's independently scheming nursemaid.

Beaumont/Port Arthur
Fans of pro wrestling are in for a treat as Clutch City Productions presents Coastal Mania — convention and wrestling event — on Saturday, July 12, beginning at 1 p.m. at the Galveston Island Convention Center.
The Art Museum of Southeast Texas (AMSET) is currently showing two exhibitions through Aug. 31 — Beili Liu: Chine and Karin Broker: wired, pressed, nailed.
Southern Summer Night is an event that Southeast Texans have become accustomed to each year — enjoying delicious food, hearing fabulous music and just having a great time. The event, scheduled for Saturday, July 19, at the Carl Parker Multipurpose Center in Port Arthur, is formerly known as Cayman Night and is in its third year with its new name and theme. Proceeds benefit the Greater Port Arthur Chamber of Commerce and the Port Arthur International Seafarers' Center.
I clearly remember interviewing Paula O'Neal the first time for an article on Some Other Place in Beaumont when I arrived in Texas. Paula told me how the name came to be and I have always remembered that story. She said when people who needed help in the area applied to various agencies, they would be told that the particular help they needed was not available for them through that means.
NORFOLK, Va. – A 2010 West Brook High School graduate and Beaumont native is serving alongside a 2003 graduate of Port Arthur High School on one of the world's largest warships, the U.S. Navy aircraft carrier USS Harry S. Truman (CVN 75).
While we harbor no disrespect for the Wall Street Journal who called us "that scrappy little paper from Southeast Texas," we prefer to think of ourselves as simple seekers of the truth. We're of the opinion that headlines and sound bites never tell the whole story. Our readers demand all the facts, facets and flavors of every story or event. And, they expect to be informed, educated and stirred to action.

Musto's trial delay request denied
A federal judge has denied former state Sen. Raphael J. Musto's bid to further delay his trial on health grounds, ordering jury selection to begin Nov. 26.
In an order signed Wednesday, U.S. District Judge A. Richard Caputo rejected defense arguments that the 83-year-old Pittston Township Democrat is unable to withstand the stress of a trial due to non-alcohol-related liver cirrhosis and other ailments. The defense sought dismissal of the charges or an indefinite postponement of the trial.
Caputo had previously granted six trial delays due to Musto's health problems.
Musto is accused of accepting $35,000 in free building renovations and $5,000 in cash from three individuals in return for his support of state funding for three projects.
A medical expert hired by his defense team argued that the stress of the trial could kill Musto, a conclusion rejected by a court-appointed doctor. A medical expert retained by the prosecution concluded that Musto's liver condition would not render him unable to withstand a trial, but found that Musto had cognitive and fatigue issues that would make it impossible to help prepare his defense.
In a memo issued Wednesday, Caputo wrote that "measures are available to minimize the risks to Defendant's health in subjecting him to a trial, such as the presence of a nurse or other medical professional in or near the courtroom, appropriate rest breaks, etc⦠Although Defendant's physical condition is unlikely to improve, the fact that his liver disease appears to be stabilizing in light of the permanent character of his physical problems weighs against postponing his trial.
"Finally, the magnitude and seriousness of the case weighs against delay."
Musto's attorney, John Riley did not return phone messages seeking comment.
Musto, who was originally indicted in November 2010 shortly before his previously announced retirement from the Senate, faces eight counts of fraud, bribery and lying to federal agents. Each of the most serious charges against Musto carries a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison.

- Trade experts give thumbs up to 'Krrish 3' special effectsRakesh Roshan to pursue Krrish 3 copyright violation caseBox office report: 'Krrish 3' all set to enter Rs 200 cr club, collects whopping Rs 152 crBox office collections: Hrithik Roshan powers 'Krrish' 3 to Rs 150 cr, set to beat 'Chennai Express'
the film will release on Monday (Nov 4) because, most of the theatre owners during pre-Diwali phase keep their theatres shut for doing puja etc. Thus, if the film in C.I. (Central India) has had a release in 47 screens (on Friday), on Monday it will be released across 63 screens.
Krrish 3 ranks third amongst films that have been the top openers, with Chennai Express leading with Rs.33.12 crore and Ek Tha Tiger following with Rs.32.93 crore. Otherwise, the film has done maximum business on its opening day, as compared to the other Bollywood releases during Diwali like Jab Tak Hai Jaan which opened with approximately Rs.15 crore, or Ra.One that garnered Rs.14.7 crore on their first day. (Figures are approximate, referred from boxofficeindia.com and koimoi.com)
Still running at the BO
With Krrish 3 taking up most of the screen space, there was hardly any scope for previous releases. Mickey Virus however was holding its ground at several multiplexes. The Manish Paul-Elli Avram starrer received an average occupancy of 25 per cent across Cinepolis India on Friday, the day Krrish 3 released, says Shroff. The Saurabh Varma directorial, as per Bollywood Hungama report collected an amount of Rs.7.1 crore, in its first week.
Also playing at the multiplexes were international films Gravity and Captain Phillips. The Sandra Bullock starrer Gravity received 25-30 per cent occupancy on Friday, while Captain Phillips also saw significant amount of footfalls.
*Considering the Diwali holiday, trade story in this issue highlights just the opening day performance of Krrish 3
SCREEN Forecast
Our Verdict
In the issue dated November 1-7, 2013, Screen had predicted that the Diwali weekend release would prove successful for Krrish 3. Though affected by the pre-Diwali phase, the Hrithik Roshan starrer managed to have a grand opening, thanks to the family audience and the kids who thronged to the theatres. With an impressive opening day collection, it remains to be seen whether the film will make a profit, over and above its estimated production cost that is 120 crore, and does a record breaking business ahead.

More problems with ESP LTD EC 401
A while ago I posted that I had received a new LTD EC401 with an uneven neck. ESP support was great. They sent me a brand new guitar that they said was tested and found to be completely in spec.
When I received the new guitar one of the first things I noticed was that one of the volume pots stuck at about half turn and had to be forced to go the rest of the way. ESP offered to send me a new pot so when it came I had to pay to have it installed. The new one works, but it is very hard to turn compared to the other volume and tone pot.
So I have my volume pot working and begin to play when the more I play the more I notice a rattle coming from the guitar. I narrow the problem down to three of the bridge saddle screws. It is so bad that the sound is getting picked up through the amp, not to mention being able to feel the rattle in the guitar as I play. I notify ESP and they send me a new bridge.
Well, I installed the new bridge last week and began to play. I noticed a slight rattle coming from the saddle screws once again. Not horrible though. As soon as I intonated the guitar the rattle was even worse than the first bridge. If I would stick a small screwdriver on the screw the rattle would stop. I emailed ESP about this and this time they said they could either send me an old style bridge that has a scratch on it or I could just buy a Tone Pros bridge that should fix the problem. ESP service is great to deal with, but I am getting sick of all these problems.

^ While that sounds pretty good, I doubt it'd be viable. Try a different bridge. If it persists, email ESP and tell them.
Then buy a new guitar.

The thing that's strange about this is that the saddle is vibrating when the string itself is physically forcing it downwards into the bridge from the string tension. If the saddle is being pressed against the bridge from the tension, how would it be able to move by vibrating?
The only possible thing it could be is that the intonation screw is vibrating as it's not fitting snugly inside the hole in the bridge that the screw goes through.

Secret Origins.
by Pablo Defendini
Well, really, it's the new, new, New Sleekness. The first New Sleekness was on Blogger, and was essentially a chronicle of the crap I'd find on the web in the mornings, and my commentary on it. The name came from the fact that I had just shaved off my nice, long dreadlocks a few days before I started the blog. It felt appropriate at the time. The second, or newer New Sleekness resides on my personal server and was/is my haphazardly-updated personal blog(1). The frequency of posts dropped considerably in October 2008, when I changed jobs from mass-market designer at Tor Books to my current position as producer of Tor.com. I have much less free time these days.
However, part of the reason I have less free time is the fact that Tor.com is run out of the Digital Marketing department at Macmillan. Being a part of the DM dept allows me a closer look at the publishing industry, and where it's headed. I've found that more and more, the (admittedly sporadic) writing in the (newer) New Sleekness has turned into publishing industry punditry.
A few months ago, Ami and I were talking as we walked back to a hotel from a book fair in some northeastern city(2), and it occurred to us to start a blog where people like us could talk about what we see happening in the publishing industry. By 'people like us', we mean our colleagues: young-ish, in the trenches, not necessarily the movers-and-shakers or the decision-makers, but the people who are doing the grunt work. We grew up with technology, and we've seen it alter the landscape of the way we live and the way we do business; we compare that to what we see as the impractical realities of how legacy publishing operates, and we have something to say about it. We have ideas, we have opinions, and we have visions for a future in which everyone reads everything everywhere, and books are recognized as the drivers of culture that they are(3). A sleek new future.
And that's when I realized that we already had access to a really great name for the blog. I offered up the name "The New Sleekness", and here we are, at a brand-new URL with a new look, and a blank database. I'll bring over some of the publishing-related posts from the old New Sleekness at first (some may take some revision and updating), but essentially this is a fresh start, and I won't be the only one contributing to this site.
1 I will change its name when I get a chance. Remember the bit about the shoemaker and his kids?
2 The specifics are not important, but I think we'd just come from having dinner with Kevin Smokler, so we were on a "we're-gonna-save-publishing-w00t-one-one" kick. That's what talking to Kevin does to you. He's a cool dude.
3 I stole that line from Ami. Shh, don't tell her.

To my mind, the most important criteria for an effective short film is an avoidance of the easy route. That outlook was central to this past week at the Florida Film Festival in Orlando, where I sat with my fellow jurors through five short film programs in three days. Eventually, we settled on awards for three of the 38 shorts and despite so many possibilities, we reached a consensus without much difficulty. Deserving candidates stood out from the pack.
A few shorts ran under five minutes, while others neared the 20-minute mark. Working under those temporal constraints, filmmakers -- many of whom are in early stages of their careers -- usually go for the easy gags, ending with a clever punchline. There's nothing inherently wrong with that approach, but when viewed several times over, it comes across as overly simplistic and portrays the short form as incapable of attaining the mature narrative possibilities available to features.
It doesn't have to be that way. A good short might do something clever in a brief period of time, but a great movie can take any shape or form, labels be damned.
This line of thinking was crucial for our jury's choices. (I was joined by Neal Block, head of distribution at Magnolia Pictures, and former Arthouse Films vice president Erin Owens.) For the first time in its 20-year history, the Florida Film Festival gained Oscar-qualifying status for its shorts. The animated and live-action shorts that received top can now make the short list for the 2012 Academy Awards. To paraphrase a line from "Spider-Man": With great power comes great possibilities.
That brings me to "Bottle," Kristen Lepore's lovely romantic fantasy, which we selected as the best animated short. With delicate craftsmanship, Lepore constructs a sweeping intercontinental romance between a creature made of sand and another made of snow. The two exchange messages in a bottle before they both decide to cross the sea. The heartbreaking result of that act -- what happens when sand and snow enter the water -- leads to the mesmerizing, poetic finale, rendered particularly moving by the clarity of this wordless love story between two natural objects. (Watch "Bottle" on YouTube.)
Another visual feast, Brent Bonacorso's "West of the Moon" wowed us with its phenomenally absurd portrait of child's dream. Littered with elegant layers of green-screen images and other trickery, the sepia-toned saga involves an old man recalling a wide range of surreal experiences, from playing poker with a robot to hanging with a pack of bespectacled walruses. You can't make this stuff up, but Bonacorso, a promising new visionary clearly inspired by the likes of Jean-Pierre Jeunet, somehow did.
Not content with simply honoring two shorts, we squeezed a special jury prize into the mix in order to highlight the memorably dark, thoughtful "After the Snow," director Brooke Sebold's short about a despondent young woman (Jeannine Kaspar) at a party who confronts the obnoxious slob who knocked her up. Intended as the outline for a feature, "After the Snow" conveys its unnerving scenario with two committed performances, tightly executed suspense and a provocative final shot that leaves much room for interpretation. Written by Matthew Tyler, the short is currently being expanded into a feature called "Gone June," according to a website for the production. It's hard not to imagine that the wintry setting and equally chilly demeanor of the characters in "After the Snow" will expand nicely into the feature-length format.
But short films don't need to contain the inkling of a feature in order to succeed. We chose movies that we liked; the prizes' larger ramifications were secondary considerations. I only realized later that "Bottle" and "West of the Moon" may have already qualified for Oscar consideration since both won awards at other festivals earlier this year, rendering moot that entire aspect of our jury's agenda.
And that's fine. We were more concerned with consensus than advocacy. As we engaged in our final deliberation on Friday evening, sitting across from a moonlit lake in the expansive backyard of Enzian Theater owners Philip and Sigrid Tiedtke, we just talked about the movies we liked and the opportunity we had to spread the word.

Dec. 21, 2006
INDIANAPOLIS - St. Vincent Indianapolis Hospital has been named the sports medicine provider for Butler University Athletics. The new agreement allows St. Vincent Sports Medicine physicians and Butler University athletic trainers to collaborate to provide optimal treatment for athletic injuries and illnesses.
Butler has 21 sports and over 550 athletes in its athletic department. Several of the university's sports teams are participating members of the Horizon League, which features nine public and private institutions with stellar academic and athletic reputations. St. Vincent Sports Medicine is the largest, most comprehensive hospital-based sports medicine program in Indiana.
"We are pleased to be the sports medicine physician provider and renew our relationship with Butler athletics," said David M. Harsha, MD, medical director of St. Vincent Sports Medicine. "It is truly an honor for our program to be selected by Butler leadership as their choice for treating athletes' sports injuries in an array of competitive fields. The athletes will benefit from our physicians' health care expertise and the support they will provide to the Butler athletic training department."
St.Vincent sports medicine physicians will be readily accessible and in attendance at Butler athletic sporting events to provide immediate diagnosis, and injury and illness consultation for Butler and the competing team's athletes. Physicians will also have an active presence on the Butler campus, evaluating and assessing the student-athletes.
"Butler University's Department of Athletics is very pleased to form this partnership with St. Vincent Sports Medicine," said Barry Collier, athletic director at Butler University. "Our athletes can look forward to outstanding care and treatment by their sports medicine physicians."
Butler will have the opportunity to receive pre-participation physicals and will have authority to refer athletes to the full service, tertiary hospital for follow-up care by St. Vincent medical staff.
"We want to ensure that each Butler athlete receives the highest level of care by our various specialty physicians," said Dr. Harsha. "Athletes will have full access to the cutting-edge resources at St. Vincent, which will encompass a full continuum of care and elevate the health care experience for athletes. Our goal is to provide appropriate care for athletes, and get them back on the playing field."
St.Vincent also provides sports medicine support to Marian College, DePauw University and Indiana University's men's basketball team.

30Bang Bang Bang
Ever wanted to see Mark Ronson on a Japanese talk show in the 70s? Well, director Warren Fu made that happen.
Best bit? Ronson and The Business INTL are joined by MNDR & Q-Tip as they float around in outer space.
This video directed by Nicolas Mendez is definitely NSFW, as it's got nudity and other, well, strange things going on.
Best bit? If you've got a fetish for toe-sucking, then this is the best music video of the year for you.
28Fuck You
Another viral vid of 2010, it's now got more than 30 million views on YouTube. Directed by Matt Stawski, this video, like the song, is deceptively sweet.
Best bit? It's now just a little more acceptable to shout out "Fuck you".
27We Want War
NME's best album of 2010 winners These New Puritans also released one of the most beautiful music videos of the year. Director Daniel Askill's cinematography was influenced by ballistics footage.
Best bit?Watch people fly and water splash in slow-motion.
26Enter The Ninja
South African cinematographer Rob Malpage co-directed this video with frontman rapper Ninja, creating a video that spread so quickly online that the band's website host disabled their account for exceeding bandwidth.
Best bit? This is the video that launched their career worldwide. Whether or not you think that's a good thing, well, that's up to you.
Dave Ma directed this strange video starring transsexual icons Calpernia Addams and Glamourous Monique, as well as a team of bodybuilders.
Best bit? You can watch women and bodybuilders wrestle. If you're into that.
24It's Working
Andrew and Ben prove to be handymen in this So Me-directed video. The strange box they build comes to live, or something, and strange things start to happen. Like a giant ballerina dancing in the clouds.
Best bit? We get to see Mr. VanWyngarden dressed as a girl. At least he gets to show off his legs.
23Whip My Hair
So she's only ten years old, but she's inspired the latest song-inspired dance craze and looks pretty fierce in her Ray Kay-directed video.
Best bit? If Jackson Pollock had locks like Willow's, we're pretty sure he would have used similar methods to create his paintings.
22California Gurls
Indulge your sweet tooth without wasting the calories. Katy Perry's video, directed by Mathew Cullen, takes you into a magical world of gumdrops and candy floss, with Snoop Dogg starring as some pimp Sugar Daddy ringleader.
Best bit? You can see Katy wearing a cupcake bra, if that's your sort of thing.
21Barbra Streisand
Possibly one of the most star-studded music videos of the year, it's got everyone from Kanye to Vampire Weekend to Santigold.
Best bit? Besides the fact that this song will be stuck in your head for days, the video's got a hilarious fake cameo from Ms. Streisand.

Get serious
Campaign 2012 | The GOP presidential contenders appear stuck in a carnival midway of their making
Much in the GOP presidential debates has been warm up. But with November panels focused on foreign policy-the first coming just days after news that Iran has taken dramatic steps to produce a nuclear weapon-we can hope to see mettle emerge from this field of eight. Perhaps the thus-far lackluster candidates might be ready to leave the circus midway, where the weapons are air guns and the prizes are stuffed toys, and move to the big tent, where the lights are blinding and the animals are real.
But judging by the Nov. 12 "commander-in-chief" debate in South Carolina, the GOP candidates are playing for the cheap prizes still. None of the gaffes could match Gov. Rick Perry's 53 seconds of forgetfulness from an earlier matchup, but given the subject matter and the headlines, the mistakes and misstatements should disturb us.
Rep. Michele Bachmann, though a member of the House Intelligence Committee, stumbled naming the provinces in south Afghanistan where our military personnel have been most heavily engaged in fighting the Taliban. Gov. Mitt Romney early on referred to Iranian democracy protesters as "insurgents," a term commonly used for Islamic militants and terrorists. Herman Cain, asked by moderators if Pakistan is a friend or foe, said: "We don't know."
Overall Gov. Mitt Romney and former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich proved the most agile at solving world crises in a 60-second window, but each at several points gave rote, even baffling responses. Gingrich called the Obama administration "soft" on Syrian president Bashir Assad and accused the president of having "dumped" Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak, but no one adequately confronted the president's erratic interventionism: his phoning Mubarak to demand he step down, sending the U.S. ambassador to meet with Syrian rebels, and turning a NATO no-fly zone into a combat operation to install an Islamist regime in Libya. These are ripe targets, yet no GOP hopefuls took aim.
Romney came on strong calling the communist regime in China "currency manipulators," and Gingrich gave the evening's rhetorical highlight when he said, "The degree to which the Arab Spring may become an anti-Christian Spring is something which bothers me a great deal ... and I would not be supportive of a regime which is explicitly hostile to religions other than Islam."
But the rest of the evening was banter filled with gauzy statements and easy slogans designed to win points without demonstrating these contenders know how to solve deadly threats, or present to the American people what's at stake.
Historically, the debate within the Republican Party on foreign policy and national security cleaved between Nixon-Kissinger realists and Reagan idealists. The realists favored détente, the containment of global threats. Reagan made them howl in 1983 when he called the Soviet Union an "evil empire," but he was determined to hold ideologies responsible for totalitarianism and broker little compromise with what should abhor us.
The realists with "their unrealistic realism neglected-to America's peril-the fundamental importance of ideology, ideals, and regime type as well as power in international politics," says Pepperdine University professor of public policy Robert G. Kaufman. Despite the Cold War victories that ensued under Reagan, today the realist remnant has potent allies-GOP isolationists like Rep. Ron Paul and a surprising cohort who embrace the liberal mantra that we cannot succeed in places like Iraq or Afghanistan.
"Today, a neo-Reaganite grand strategy would confront, not deny, the gathering danger of Islamic Fascism, particularly a fanatical Iranian regime determined to develop and deploy nuclear weapons. Today, a neo-Reaganite foreign policy would envisage a still dangerously authoritarian China as a competitor requiring containment as well as engagement," says Kaufman.
GOP contenders will have to face five threats that in my view surpass the challenges of the Cold War era: the imminent possibility of a nuclear-armed Iran; the proximity of Pakistan's nuclear arsenal to ascendant terrorist networks; a resurgent al-Qaeda that continues to specifically threaten the United States; economic and authoritarian hegemony from China; and economic collapse in Europe, home to our staunchest allies. Yet from left to right in the face of such a gathering storm, our political leaders appear unserious, wandering in some three-ring circus.

A pilot whale calf that stranded May 5 off the lower Florida Keys has recovered and is being transported from a Keys-based marine mammal rehabilitation facility to Orlando.
The 2 year old, 600-pound, 9-foot-long female had a five-hour trip in a cooled truck's water-transport unit from a care facility in Key Largo to its new Central Florida home early this morning.
"It's still too early to tell her long-term prognosis, but she traveled well, she's getting settled into her new surroundings, and we're cautiously optimistic about her future," park animal expert and chief veterinarian Dr. Chris Dold said in a prepared statement.
SeaWorld Orlando's Cetacean Rehabilitation Facility, which includes a new 40,000 gallon pool designed to serve animals rescued from the wild, will be the whale's home. Animal experts will monitor it constantly.
The whale and 20 other pilot whales beached themselves in early May. The National Marine Fisheries service and other experts determined the whale needed extensive treatment, according to SeaWorld.
The park's policy is to treat animals until they are capable of surviving on their own in the wild. Animals such as this pilot whale determined to be unable to survive alone have a permanent home at the park's facility.

I use GNATbench Ada plugin for eclipse to make eclipse Ada aware on Windows. This works well for local files, but my main development is on a remote Unix box. I successfully use the Remote System Explorer plugin for eclipse to remotely edit C files on the Unix box from Windows, but cannot get the same to work for Ada.
It seems that the GNATbench plugin does not work correctly with the Remote System Explorer (RSE) plugin. Possibly a bug in GNATbench that is directly addressing files with a full path rather than addressing them from a eclipse project point of view.
Has anybody tried this?

Collapsible Bin and Board7
You've been to a deli where they build your sandwich as you follow it along. You've probably noticed those little bins that hang just below the prep area and catch crumbs and waste. So why should these be only for commercial use?
Finally, we have the Collapsible Bin and Board for home kitchens. The board fits snugly onto your countertop so you don't need to worry about it sliding. Then, a bin (which collapses for easy storage) attaches to the board to catch any stems or seeds or peels or crumbs from whatever ingredients you're cutting.
The Bin and Board is dishwasher-safe so there's no problem with sanitizing it. And it is porous so it won't harm or dull your knives.
We use this new board often in The Good Cooking Store when we are preparing demonstrations and getting ready for cooking classes.
The Collapsible Bin and Board is available at The Good Cooking Store and they do ship. Click here for more information.

People demonstrate in front of the headquarters of the private TV station Nessma in Tunis on October 9.
Reports from Tunisia say police have fired tear gas at thousands of Islamists demonstrating in the capital, Tunis.
Reuters reported that the protesters, who were demanding the imposition of Islamic law in Tunisia, responded by throwing stones at police.
It said some of the protesters tried to force their way into the prime minister's office.
Another protest took place outside a private television station that has angered Islamists by airing an animated film that critics accuse of blasphemy for including an image of God.
It was the second rally outside the Nessma TV station in a week after it broadcast "Persepolis," a globally acclaimed animated film about life in Tehran following Iran's 1979 revolution.
Tunisia is scheduled to vote on October 23 for a constitutional assembly – the first polls in Tunisia since longtime President Zine el-Abidine Ben Ali was overthrown in an uprising in January.

DEKALB COUNTY, Ga -- The shake-up at the DeKalb County Fire Department continues and has now reached the top.
Late Monday afternoon, the fire chief himself, David Foster, resigned.
DeKalb County CEO Burrell Ellis did not give a reason in his brief press release.
The timing of the resignation is striking, since the fire department is under investigation because of the death of Ann Bartlett in a house fire in Dunwoody on January 24.
On January 29, Foster fired four of the firefighters who responded to Bartlett's house fire, accusing them of neglect of duty.
Ann Bartlett was 74 years old and was using an oxygen machine. She had called 911 to say her house was on fire and she was unable to get out.
Then her phone line stopped working.
Soon after the firefighters arrived at her house, they left, because they did not see any flames. They never knocked on her door.
Five hours later flames broke through the house and neighbors called 911, but Ann Bartlett had already died.
Now the tragedy, and the firefighters, are under criminal investigation.
David Foster had been DeKalb Fire-Rescue Chief since January of 2003.
Monday night, Ann Bartlett's neighbors said they want answers and changes.
"It's extremely sad," said Maria DeArenas, "because she counted on the firefighters and they were not there for her."
"I think it was negligence on their part," said Tom Brooks, who lives next door to Bartlett's burned home, and says he is still incredulous at what happened. "And hopefully, this won't happen again. I hope a lot of people have learned some lessons."
Ann Bartlett's daughter, Ruth Bartlett, told 11Alive News on the phone Monday that the family preferred to say nothing about the chief's resignation. She repeated what family members said last week, that they are just waiting as the investigation proceeds and they don't want this to happen to anyone else.
DeKalb CEO Ellis appointed Deputy Fire Chief Eddie O'Brien to be Acting Chief.
