Docket No. FD 35653
Digest:[1] Santa Cruz County Regional Transportation Commission does not need Board authorization to acquire the physical assets of the Santa Cruz Branch line in Santa Cruz County, Cal. Although Santa Cruz is acquiring the physical assets of the line, it will not acquire the right and legal obligation to provide freight rail service, which will be retained by the seller and then transferred to a third-party easement owner/operator. Nor will Santa Cruz be in a position to interfere unduly with freight rail operations.
Decided: September 6, 2012
On July 24, 2012, Santa Cruz County Regional Transportation Commission (Santa Cruz or Petitioner), a noncarrier, filed a petition for declaratory order asking the Board to determine that the agency does not have regulatory authority over Santa Cruz's proposed acquisition of the physical assets of the Santa Cruz Branch line (the Line). The Line, which is owned by Union Pacific Railroad (UP), is 30.957 miles long. It runs between milepost 0.433 and milepost 31.39 in Santa Cruz County, Cal. In its petition, Santa Cruz argues that the acquisition of the Line does not require Board approval because the transaction complies with the Board's precedent set forth in Maine Department of Transportation—Acquisition and Operation Exemption—Maine Central Railroad, 8 I.C.C. 2d 835 (1991) (State of Maine).
Exercising our discretionary authority under 49 U.S.C. § 721 and 5 U.S.C. § 554(e), we will issue a declaratory order to remove uncertainty in this matter. As discussed below, we will grant Petitioner's request for a Board declaration that the transaction, as proposed, would not cause Santa Cruz to become a common carrier by rail and would not require our authorization under 49 U.S.C. § 10901. Based on our interpretation of the transaction documents, we find that this transaction would not be subject to the Board's authority and would come within the purview of our State of Maine line of precedent.
Santa Cruz, a public agency created under the laws of the State of California, is not and does not wish to become a rail carrier. Nevertheless, Santa Cruz proposes to acquire the physical assets of the Line in order to preserve freight rail service and to allow the operation of tourist excursions and the development of other public uses. To that end, Petitioner states that under Step One of the proposed transaction, it would acquire only the physical assets of the Line, while UP would retain a permanent, exclusive freight easement and the common carrier obligation. Under Step Two, UP would then transfer its retained easement[2] to the Santa Cruz and Monterey Bay Railway Company (SCMB),[3] which would replace UP as the common carrier with the right and obligation to conduct freight rail operations on the Line, if SCMB successfully obtains operating authority from the Board.[4] Petitioner states that a condition precedent to its closing on the purchase are Board findings that the transaction does not conflict with State of Maine, and that Santa Cruz will not become a carrier as a consequence of the transaction.[5]
The Board's decision in the present case follows two earlier decisions in which Santa Cruz sought a declaratory order prior to purchasing the assets of the Line. In a decision served on August 22, 2011, the Board concluded that Santa Cruz's petition failed to satisfy the standard set forth in State of Maine, but permitted Santa Cruz to submit modified transaction documents.[6] Santa Cruz did so and, in a decision served on December 15, 2011, the Board considered Santa Cruz's petition a second time.[7] In that decision, the Board found that Santa Cruz had made the necessary revisions to the transaction documents to satisfy the requirements imposed by State of Maine, and therefore granted the petition for declaratory order. One week after that decision, however, the proposed operator withdrew from the transaction and filed a petition to withdraw its verified notice of exemption to operate the Line. The Board approved that request[8] and Santa Cruz re-solicited the contract for proposals and chose SCMB as the new operator.[9]
In the present petition,[10] Santa Cruz would acquire the physical assets of the Line pursuant to a Quitclaim Deed with UP.[11] The Quitclaim Deed reserves for UP and its assigns a permanent, exclusive freight easement for the purpose of conducting freight rail operations on the Line.[12] The Quitclaim Deed contemplates that UP would transfer its freight easement to SCMB through an Assignment of Freight Easement.[13] Santa Cruz and SCMB would enter into an Administration, Coordination, and License Agreement (ACL Agreement) that would govern their relationship.[14]
Santa Cruz now asks the Board to declare that the proposed transaction, if consummated pursuant to the transaction documents submitted here, would not be subject to the Board's regulatory authority under the Board's State of Maine precedent. Santa Cruz states that it must soon submit requests for public funding to the California Transportation Commission to purchase and rehabilitate the acquired assets. According to Petitioner, there are no changes contemplated to the language of the Quitclaim Deed and only minor changes to the ACL Agreement submitted in the prior proceeding, (FD 35491) – transaction documents approved by the Board there.[15]
The acquisition of an active rail line and the common carrier obligation that goes with it ordinarily require Board approval. Where the acquiring entity is a noncarrier, the standard for approval is set out in 49 U.S.C. § 10901. State of Maine and its progeny, however, hold that the sale of the physical assets of a rail line by a carrier to a state or other public agency does not constitute the sale of a railroad line within the meaning of § 10901 when the selling carrier: (1) retains a permanent, exclusive freight rail operating easement giving it the right and common carrier obligation to provide freight rail service on the line, and (2) retains sufficient control over the line to carry out its common carrier operations. When the seller retains the common carrier obligation and control over freight rail service, Board precedent holds that the purchaser of only the physical assets of the line does not become a carrier for purposes of § 10901(a)(4).
For a transaction to fall within that precedent, however, the terms of the sale must protect the seller from undue interference by the purchaser in the provision of common carrier freight rail service. Mass. Dept. of Transp.—Acquis. Exemption—Certain Assets of CSX Transp., Inc., FD 35312, slip op. at 5 (STB served May 3, 2010), aff'd sub nom. Bhd. of R.R. Signalmen v. STB, 638 F.3d 807 (D.C. Cir. 2011). The seller may transfer its freight rail operating easement and the related common carrier obligation to a third-party easement owner/operator, as long as the transaction transfers sufficient contractual rights to the new owner/operator to carry out the common carrier obligation it has acquired. Mass. Coastal R.R.—Acquis.—CSX Transp., Inc., FD 35314, slip op. at 3-5 (STB served Mar. 29, 2010). Therefore, in determining whether Santa Cruz would become a rail carrier if the transaction were completed, the Board will look to whether, as part of the transaction, SCMB, as the third-party easement owner/operator, would obtain a permanent, exclusive freight rail operating easement and would have sufficient interest in and control over the Line to permit it to carry out its common carrier obligation.
The proposed Quitclaim Deed and ACL Agreement are substantially the same as those the Board addressed in the December 2011 Decision. Collectively, as more fully discussed in that decision, they comport with the State of Maine requirements: that the seller retain a permanent, exclusive freight rail operating easement and that the subsequent third-party easement owner/operator maintain sufficient control over the Line to carry out its common carrier operations. Therefore, the proposed transaction is consistent with State of Maine, and the proposed acquisition of the assets of the Line by Santa Cruz would not constitute the acquisition of a railroad line under 49 U.S.C. § 10901(a)(4) or cause Petitioner to become a rail carrier. Under these circumstances, we declare that the transaction, as proposed, does not require Board authorization under 49 U.S.C. § 10901.
This action will not significantly affect either the quality of the human environment or the conservation of energy resources.
It is ordered:
1. Santa Cruz's petition for declaratory order is granted as discussed above.
2. This decision is effective on its service date.

Importantly, the ACL Agreement contains a "No Material Interference" provision at section 2.3 very similar in language to a provision in the ACL Agreement approved by the Board in FD 35491. This provision recognizes that Santa Cruz may not exercise its rights under the ACL Agreement in a manner that may materially interfere with SCMB's operation of the freight easement.

Mayor Street believes the construction of the new Liberty Bell pavilion should continue despite a historian's discovery that its entrance sits atop the site where George Washington's slaves were housed during his presidency in Philadelphia, according to administration spokesman Frank Keel.
Keel said he spoke by telephone yesterday with a National Park Service official about the information and came away confident the site would be properly commemorated.
"We've already begun a dialogue with the Park Service. The city is interested in finding a way to make certain that this legacy, this important piece of history, doesn't get neglected or forgotten," Keel said. "We're all on the same page."
Park Service spokesman Phil Sheridan agreed. "We reached out to the mayor just to say, 'Hey, we're here.' " The question, he added, "is how do we incorporate the story of slavery" into the story of the President's House?
But several historians interviewed yesterday cautioned that it was too early to give the project a green light. They argued that the Park Service has not adequately explored the site for archaeological remains and risks losing a valuable trove of material.
"I think future generations are going to be pretty upset if they knew we just covered up the site and put up a plaque," said Henry Weincek, a Virginia-based historian who is writing a biography of Washington as a slave owner.
The issue surfaced a few weeks ago after Edward Lawler Jr. published the first authoritative history of the Market Street house that Washington occupied from 1790 to 1797. In reconstructing the floor plan, Lawler, an independent scholar, found that Washington brought his slaves to Philadelphia and housed them at what was then the nation's White House.
Lawler said in an interview yesterday that he first informed the Park Service of his findings almost a year ago. Nevertheless, the architects, Bohlin Cywinski Jackson, continued to work on their design, and last week the Park Service broke ground.
As the design now stands, visitors will have to step across the site of slave quarters to enter the building, an irony since the pavilion is dedicated to freedom. The beloved Philadelphia bell became a national icon after it was adopted as the symbol of the antislavery movement before the Civil War.
It's not just the Philadelphia President's House that is tainted by an association with slavery. Although the practice was nominally outlawed in Pennsylvania in 1780, many continued to profit from the trade in human property. Charlene Mires, a Villanova University historian, discovered recently that a courtroom in Independence Hall was used to try runaway slaves as late as 1854.
Such discoveries come as a shock, Mires noted, because most people view Independence Hall as a symbol of one of America's noblest periods. "But these issues of slavery and freedom run throughout Independence Mall," Mires said. "It doesn't diminish the story to address them."
For the most part, the Park Service has not shied away from the subject of slavery. David Hollenberg, a Park Service architect, said that an exhibition on slavery is planned for the new bell pavilion and there will be an extensive discussion of the dark stain on America's past at the nearby National Constitution Center, under construction at the mall's north end.
Yet a contingent of Philadelphia historians is worried the Park Service will underplay the main story of the Philadelphia White House. Lawler, along with members of the Historical Society of Pennsylvania, argues that the park needs to find a high-visibility way to commemorate the house's role in the United States' early development.
Even now it is not well-known that Philadelphia was the U.S. capital from 1790 to 1800 and the most important city in the young republic. When Washington rode into Philadelphia to begin his presidency, financier Robert Morris offered to rent him a house on Market Street to use as home and office.
During the first years of the country's existence, when it seemed that Britain or France might undo the new nation's democratic experiment, George Washington conducted all the affairs of state from the four-story house at the corner of Sixth and Market, which was then called High Street. When John Adams became president, he took up residency there and remained until 1800, when he moved to the executive mansion in what is now Washington, D.C.
The genteel neighborhood where the Philadelphia executive mansion stood soon became a bustling commercial district. Since there was little historical consciousness in those days, the house was sold to a boarding house operator who altered the residence. It was partially demolished in 1832.
Some exterior walls still remained in 1951, when Philadelphia began work on Independence Mall. Declaring that the new mall would help preserve Philadelphia's revolutionary past, the city then proceeded to demolish the last visible portions of the Philadelphia White House. The city then erected a public toilet on the site.
Now some feel that the city is about to lose the house all over again.
Nancy Gilboy, president of the Independence Hall Association, a volunteer group that has become a watchdog for the mall, wants the Park Service to commemorate the house by marking the outline of its floorplan in the mall's pavement. That would also preserve the memory of both the house and the slave quarters.
"There's room to move the pavilion back 20 feet," toward Sixth Street, she argued, leaving the floor plan of the Philadelphia White House visible for posterity. "It's not impossible," Gilboy said.

The Final Weekend TripsQuito, Spring 2011
So after returning from Galápagos, it seems like time has suddenly been put on fast forward. Everything has been so rushed and busy with finals upon us! But during these final three weekends I´ve still had the chance to do a bit of exploring. The weekend after Galápagos my friend Kirsten and I finally went to visit Cotopaxi National Park—I´ve been dying to go since the beginning of the semester. We went with a tour group from the Mariscal (the ``hip,´´ touristy section of Quito) and got to hike up to the first refuge on the Cotopaxi volcano, which was already covered in snow. From there we were afforded brief but amazing views of Cotopaxi´s peak and the surrounding valley (it´s always so foggy around Cotopaxi—without clouds the majestic, snow-covered volcano is easily visible from Quito, but I´ve only seen it twice in the entire four and a half months that I´ve been here). We had a delicious lunch at the refuge—including my favorite white cheese and crackers and fresh avocado—and then walked back down to the parking lot, where the real fun began. From the parking lot we rode mountain bikes down the rest of the mountain—some 15 kilometers of absolutely no pedaling and lots of brake-clenching. It hailed for most of the ride down, which was rather painful. At the bottom we were rewarded with a great view of the nearby Rumiñahui volcano and the largest lake in the park. The following weekend, in between homeworking like crazy, Kirsten and I again headed off on an adventure to see the largest waterfall in Ecuador. The San Rafael waterfall lies right on the edge of the Amazon, some four hours away from Quito by bus. Four hours, that is, when it´s not voting weekend and everyone is leaving the city to go vote in their home province (voting here is mandatory, and no alcohol is sold within 24 hours of the vote). It took us two hours just to leave Quito, and when we finally got to the waterfall after six hours on the bus, I felt like just staying forever and never getting on a bus back home. But we did, 3 hours later, and got back to Quito after another 4 hours on the bus. It was quite the day of bus traveling. The waterfall, however, was spectacularly glorious. This past weekend, my final weekend in Ecuador, I headed back to the beach Atacames for a final hurrah with my best Ecuadorian friend. It was so relaxing to have a few days of playing in the waves, drinking milkshakes, running barefoot on the beach and taking long naps all afternoon amid finals finals finals. I´m really going to miss being able to visit any kind of ecosystem—beach, rainforest, mountains—in a simple few hours´ trip. This country certainly has a lot to offer interms of nature and adventures. It´s going to be really strange not being able to take a $5 bus ride to the Amazon, or a $2 bus ride to the cloud forest, or a $7 bus ride to a beautiful beach. There are still so many places I want to see—certainly a return trip is in store.

2. Running and writing tests¶
Good code needs tests.
A project like django CMS simply can't afford to incorporate new code that doesn't come with its own tests.
Tests provide some necessary minimum confidence: they can show the code will behave as it expected, and help identify what's going wrong if something breaks it.
Not insisting on good tests when code is committed is like letting a gang of teenagers without a driving licence borrow your car on a Friday night, even if you think they are very nice teenagers and they really promise to be careful.
We certainly do want your contributions and fixes, but we need your tests with them too. Otherwise, we'd be compromising our codebase.
So, you are going to have to include tests if you want to contribute. However, writing tests is not particularly difficult, and there are plenty of examples to crib from in the code to help you.
2.1. Running tests¶
There's more than one way to do this, but here's one to help you get started:
# create a virtual environment
virtualenv test-django-cms
# activate it
cd test-django-cms/
source bin/activate
# get django CMS from GitHub
git clone email@example.com:divio/django-cms.git
# install the dependencies for testing
# note that requirements files for other Django versions are also provided
pip install -r django-cms/test_requirements/django-1.4.txt
# run the test suite
python develop.py test
It can take a few minutes to run.
When you run tests against your own new code, don't forget that it's useful to repeat them for different versions of Python and Django.
2.1.1. Advanced testing options¶
develop.py is the django CMS development helper script.
To use a different database, set the DATABASE_URL environment variable to a dj-database-url compatible value.
- -h, --help¶
Show help.
- --version¶
Show CMS version.
- --user¶
Specifies a custom user model to use for testing, the shell, or the server. The name must be in the format <app name>.<model name>, and the custom app must reside in the cms.test_utils.projects module.
184.108.40.206. develop.py test¶
Runs the test suite. Optionally takes test labels as arguments to limit the tests which should be run. Test labels should be in the same format as used in manage.py test.
- --parallel¶
Runs tests in parallel, using one worker process per available CPU core.
Cannot be used together with develop.py test --failfast.
The output of the worker processes will be shown interleaved, which means that you'll get the results from each worker process individually, which might cause confusing output at the end of the test run.
- --failfast¶
Stop running tests on the first failure or error.
188.8.131.52. develop.py timed test¶
Run the test suite and print the ten slowest tests. Optionally takes test labels as arguments to limit the tests which should be run. Test labels should be in the same format as used in manage.py test.
22.214.171.124. develop.py isolated test¶
Runs each test in the test suite in a new process, thus making sure that tests don't leak state. This takes a very long time to run. Optionally takes test labels as arguments to limit the tests which should be run. Test labels should be in the same format as used in manage.py test.
- --parallel¶
Same as develop.py test --parallel.
22.214.171.124. develop.py server¶
Run a server locally for testing. This is similar to manage.py runserver.
- --port <port>¶
Port to bind to. Defaults to 8000.
- --bind <bind>¶
Interface to bind to. Defaults to 127.0.0.1.
126.96.36.199. develop.py shell¶
Opens a Django shell. This is similar to manage.py shell.
184.108.40.206. develop.py compilemessages¶
Compiles the po files to mo files. This is similar to manage.py compilemessages.
2.2. Writing tests¶
Contributing tests is widely regarded as a very prestigious contribution (you're making everybody's future work much easier by doing so). Good karma for you. Cookie points. Maybe even a beer if we meet in person :)
2.2.1. What we need¶
We have a wide and comprehensive library of unit-tests and integration tests with good coverage.
Generally tests should be:
- Unitary (as much as possible). i.e. should test as much as possible only one function/method/class. That's the very definition of unit tests. Integration tests are interesting too obviously, but require more time to maintain since they have a higher probability of breaking.
- Short running. No hard numbers here, but if your one test doubles the time it takes for everybody to run them, it's probably an indication that you're doing it wrong.
- Easy to understand. If your test code isn't obvious, please add comments on what it's doing.

I am not fortunate enough to be able to make it to the bowl game this year so I'm going to have to celebrate New Year's Eve here in Iowa. I am planning on hitting the court ave area for the first time this year. Which bars are the best places to be for New Year's parties, which are the worst? What are the best spots in Iowa to be at to celebrate the New Year?
There were some super helpful ideas when I posed this same question on the board yesterday.

What can we do with our old baby gear?
I'm not sure what to do with my kids' outgrown baby clothes and furniture. We're not planning to have more children. Part of me wants to keep it, but maybe I should give it to my sister-in-law, who just had a baby. My mom bought a lot of this stuff, and I'm worried she'll be offended if I give it away or sell it. What should I do?

Anynomous-you can breast feed while being pregnant. See your doctor for details.posted 01/26/2004 by a BabyCenter Member
Wouldnt you rather give them to someone that needs them? I am sure your mother didnt keep every speck of clothing that was bought for you. If there are some things that you have that your sister already has, then put them on ebay or take them to goodwill. That is where I ended up buying everything I own for my baby since I was unable to afford anything brand new, and have no family around me that could help me out either. You will be amazed at how many people bid on those items when they are expecting.posted 01/26/2004 by a BabyCenter Member
Take a few of your childs favorite outfits and toys and display them in an antique armoire or nice shelf. I had my son's coming home outfit framed, it's a beautiful keepsake. Then donate to your sister in law, most of the things get 6-9 months of use and then outgrown. Plus babystuff becomes very outdated quickly and saftey issues arise. The hardest part of parenting is letting go.posted 01/26/2004 by CECargill
Why not donate it to Goodwill or another charity that will make it tax-deductable? You could even re-sell it at a local consignment store or sale held by local churches/ladies groups. http://www.thebargainwatcher.com - for consignment sales in the GA. & some surrounding states. You keep 70% of the sale price & 30% goes to a mission or charity of the group's choice. It's fun & a great way to get a ton of gently-used items at a great price.posted 01/26/2004 by Irish128
If you are absolutely positive that you aren't going to have more children, it doesn't make sense to keep all your baby's clothing. Babies go through a lot of clothes and storing all those clothes takes up a lot of space. It would be silly to keep everything if you are not ever going to use it again. Go through it and keep a few things that are really important or sentimental to you. Then offer the rest to your sister-in-law. Or donate them to your church, a charity, or where-ever they are needed. Or sell them. If it's possible that you will have another baby, then go ahead and keep the clothes for a while, but maybe offer some to your sis-in-law to help her out. She will probably appreciate the gesture and will surely return them to you if you ask her to. As for your mother, why should she be upset that you no longer need the clothing? She raised you--therefore she knows that babies grow quickly, and that at some point there are no more babies to wear the clothes. If she gets upset that you put the clothes to good use (by either donating, lending or selling them), then she is unreasonable. Maybe part of the reason you're reluctant to part with the clothes is because you're really not sure that you won't (or don't want to) have more children. That's something you may need to come to terms with. It's sad when you realize that this baby is going to be the last and there won't be any more. A chapter of your life is closing. Letting go of the clothes means letting go of your child-bearing years. It's understandable that you feel hesitant to go forward. Maybe discussing this with your spouse/significant other will help you deal with this change in your life.posted 01/26/2004 by jcailte
Donate to a women's shelter or halfway house for women and children who were in domestic violence situations. Simple :)posted 01/26/2004 by a BabyCenter Member
I think asking your mom "permission" to get rid of things she gave you is a bad idea. If she gave them to you, so long as you know that they are not heirloom pieces, you should do with them as you please. Here is why I feel this way: My mother comments on EVERYTHING she sees me get rid of. This includes life size stuffed animals. She's "positive" that one day my two children will play with them...even though it's been three years since they played with them. As for me, I have two girls, but hope to have one more baby, so a lot of my stuff I'm holding onto. But when I'm done having children, I will be purging most of what I have. My sister is 8 years younger than me and my mother has already requested that I keep everything for my sister. If she wants the stuff, great, she can take it away but I won't hold the stuff for her in my home until she's ready for it. It's just too much stuff and as it is, we are already outgrowing our space. If your mom wants you to keep anything you don't want to keep, have her keep it at her house. That's what I have done and believe me, it won't be long before you mom realizes that she too doesn't have the room. I hope this helps you.posted 01/26/2004 by newmom in FL
I'm sure your mother didn't give you these things expecting you to keep them forever. Children grow up, she knows that. Why not bless some underpriveledged children or make a donation to Goodwill? They are a non-profit organization. In other words, the money they make selling items they pay their employees with, and most of their employees are mentally or physically challenged and can not get jobs any where else. And a bonus to doing that is, it's tax deductable! Good luck and God bless!posted 01/26/2004 by a BabyCenter Member
When you're pregnant you get heaps of hand-me-downs from other mothers, it's what you do when you don't need your baby things any more. I'm sure your mother won't be offended by you passing on your baby things she's a mother she'll understand, but if you're that worried then ask her, she may even want to keep them in case she gets more grandchildren!!posted 01/26/2004 by a BabyCenter Member
keep a little give the rest to your sister in law or to the poor.i have a little bag full of things i just had to keep but most of the baby stuff ive given to a girl my cousins know who just had a baby and was in desperate need of baby clothes etc. its not offensive to give away things to peopel who need it.posted 01/26/2004 by marcheline

Butler middle blocker Stephanie Steele documents the Bulldog volleyball team's third day in Nicaragua.
Today was a very relaxing day. So far we had spent most of our time near Managua, but today we would be heading to the country. We got up bright and early to finish packing our suitcases and to finish taking pictures of the hotel.
Breakfast was at 8, and we ate fresh fruit, rice and beans, and an interesting enchilada type casserole. It tasted good, but it wasn't something I would have every expected as a breakfast food!
After eating and packing up, we said goodbye to all the hotel staff that had been helping us the last couple of days. Chloe' Blasingame and I took a picture with the doorman because he was always around to help us find our way around the hotel and we joked with him about getting lost all the time if he hadn't been around.
After packing up, we headed directly to the gym to play Nicaragua's number 1 team. It had rained all night before, so playing today was much more humid than it had been during the first two games. Our match started at 10:30 and we lost in five games, although it was very competitive. We will get two more chances to play them, and we can't wait!
We got back on the bus to start our drive to Ometepe and before leaving the compound, we saw a man rummaging through the garbage trying to find objects that he needed. It was really an eye opener.
We stopped for a quick bite to eat at a Siman mall. Many of us were ready for American food again and ate at places like Burger King and Subway, but the rest of us ate at an authentic place.
The two hour drive to Ometepe was very interesting. Most of us didn't realize how dry much of the country was. The drive gave us an opportunity to see the rural life in Nicaragua, where it is ok to let the animals roam free and everyone has their laundry hanging outside. Many of the people had farms with crops we didn't recognize but Brittany Awai was able to save the day and told us that it was sugar cane, mango trees, and banana trees.
Soon we reached Campo Alegria and met Adam, the man in charge. It was a gorgeous area sitting right on the coast of Lake Nicaragua with the island of Ometepe and its volcano in the distance.
For dinner, Rosa and Beatrice cooked a special Nicaraguan dinner called Naca Tamales. They were delicious. The coaches made the underclassmen wash the dishes and we took pictures of them lined up behind the counter.
When everything was cleaned up, we made flashcards to teach the kids who would be coming to camp the next day some English words and broke into groups to work with the kids.
When we were prepared for the camp, everyone on the team played a game of Jenga, and we were pretty impressive! The game lasted forever, but evenually Jalesa Lee knocked it over. This was followed by a walk on the beach, but by this time, we were exhausted and soon after we went to bed in our cute, rustic dorm room.

Releated to scripting is the new scriptable mission debriefing screen, shown below On the AI side, formation flying is now working. You can even customize the formation positions of each ship. Also, the AI now knows how to do collision avoidance. Other goodies include: Traitor detection Cargo containers New original simulator music A few more ships Of course, to handle all the new options, the mission editor has been upgraded. Can now edit where ships initially face, their initial orientation Can edit mission objectives in the gui Attach script functions to ships and navpoints within the gui.

Airline Food: Is it Really Better?
First it was free, and while people joked about it, they ate it. Then free food mostly disappeared in U.S. domestic skies, and replacement offerings hardly seemed worth the cost. Salami sticks, anyone?
Now airlines are trying to compete with improved food offerings you find around airports. This week's Middle Seat looks at the efforts this summer by airlines to improve their coach buy-on-board menus in hopes of sweetening sales.
Clearly, airlines have a long way to go to turn stomachs and change perceptions. Piggybacking on established brands and celebrity chefs can help, and sales per flight have been up some. But many airports have very good offerings, and restaurants have made it easy to grab and go. Why not buy a sure thing before you get on a flight rather than take your chances with airplane food? Even if there is a good choice for sale, the airline might run out before you get a chance to have your credit card swiped.
Have you noticed a difference? Are you willing to buy a salad, sandwich or even sushi from an airline? And what would you like to see airlines do at mealtime? Try something new and different, or just get out of food sales? Leave comments below.

Ten Years of Ghostly International
Sam Valenti IV celebrates his label's birthday.
Wed Jun 10 2009
Ghostly International label has perhaps the cutest logo in all of record-label land. While that alone is enough to score big points, it's the quality of music that Ghostly and sister imprint Spectral Sound release that's really kind of scary. The label—started in 1999 in the Ann Arbor, Michigan dorm room of Sam Valenti IV, pictured—has long focused on the phantasmagorical edges of the electronic-music scene, with regulars the likes of Tadd Mullinix, Matthew Dear, Geoff White, Lusine, Dykehouse, Kill Memory Crash, Midwest Product, Kiln, Twine and Osborne all Ghostly regulars. (Dear heads up the more dance-floor-friendly Spectral Sound imprint.) Ghostly is celebrating it's tenth birthday (which, in label years, makes it approximately as old as Methuselah) with a big bash at Studio B on Friday 12—below, check out Valenti's top ten Ghostly moments.
1. Chapter I: Appearance (Detroit, October 2000)
Our first party was in Detroit in 2000, where Matthew Dear, Tadd Mullinix (a.k.a. Dabrye and James T. Cotton) and Osborne held court.
2. Disco Nouveau with Adult., DMX Krew, Ectomorph (Detroit, 2001)
The Disco Nouveau compilation really put us on the map, and the party had the first round-the-block line (in the snow!) we ever saw.
3. CMJ Music Marathon party at Filter 14 with Dabrye, Matthew Dear, Dykehouse, Midwest Product (NYC, August 2002)
It was our first U.S. tour, and this old Meatpacking spot was a hot sweatbox. We felt like we had arrived.
4. Ghostly 2003-D tour with Dabrye and Matthew Dear (Glasgow, June 2003)
Dabrye was so sick, I remember him drinking milk of magnesia from the bottle. The Scots went mental.
5. Art and Artifice Tour with Matthew Dear and his band, Dabrye and Midwest Product (San Francisco, August 2004)
We did our first coast-to-coast road trip, and Matthew had just started singing. This show was a big packed room and his set really clicked.
6. Matthew Dear at Liquid Room (Tokyo, December 2005)
The famous venue was about to close. I remember people screaming "Macchew! Macchew!" Amazing.
7. All You See Is Black (Detroit, May 2006)
Lawrence and Bodycode were our guests in an awesome raw space. My calves hurt so bad from dancing to Bodycode.
8. Matthew Dear, Mobius Band, Skeletons, SV4 (NYC, Mercury Lounge 2007)
It was Matthew's first show with a full band, and while there were quirks, he overcame them with grace.
9. CMJ Music Marathon party at (Le) Poisson Rouge with School of Seven Bells, Matthew Dear's Big Hands, Michna (NYC, October 2008)
This was a great coming-out party for School of Seven Bells, who really arrived that night.
10: Ten-year anniversary party at the Movement Festival with Telefon Tel Aviv, Michna, Tycho and Deastro (Detroit, May 2009)
Deastro and Michna both blew me away—they both had finally grown into their artistic ambition.
Ghostly International Ten-Year Anniversary Bash is at Studio B Fri 12.

BOSTON There's an attempt to block the sale of a Catholic Church in the South End. A group of Boston parishioners has asked Rome to step in and prevent the sale.
Parishioners from Holy Trinity Church filed an emergency request with the Vatican to order the Archdiocese of Boston to stop listing the church for sale. The soaring stone church was built in 1877 and is listed with Sotheby's International Realty for $2.3 million.
Peter Borre, of the Council of Parishes, says the Archdiocese has not deconsecrated the church, so it shouldn't be sold.
"This equivalent of a temporary restraining order was hand-delivered [Monday] to a senior official in the congregation and we expect a decision in a week to 10 days.
"And if we are successful then basically under canon law the cardinal archbishop of Boston would be prohibited from selling this church until he's gone through the entire canon procedure of deconsecrating it."
The Archdiocese has not returned calls for comment.

Infants are born "hardwired" with strong needs to be nurtured and to remain physically close to their primary caregiver, usually the mother, during the first few years of life. The child's emotional, physical, and neurological development is greatly enhanced when these basic needs are met consistently and appropriately. Attachment Parenting promotes parenting practices that create strong, healthy emotional bonds between children and their parents - for life. So they can take those bonds with them into their adult lives and share them with their children - and their children can do the same. A life cycle of compassion and connection. This is just one of many parenting styles/philosophies. If you feel it might be right for your family, visit their next gathering.

Director Prakash Jha Wednesday said his "Satyagraha" will hit the screens without any cuts as the censor board did not cut or ban any scene from the political thriller.
"They (censor board) said that you have made the film in a very sensitive way and there are parts we cannot cut. So, the film came out the same way we presented it," Jha told reporters here.
The 61-year-old also said that he doesn't want to define his films, saying: "I just try and make films and leave the definition to the audience."
Based on Gandhian principles and his (Mahatma Gandhi) ideology of non-violence, the film is about a father and his son, and Jha added that "he has tried to put his point in the content".
Talking about the song "Ragupati Raghav Raja Ram" in the film, which will be featured on Amitabh Bachchan, the National Award-winning director said the song suited the film well as it is Mahatma Gandhi's prayer, but they added some more expressions to it.
"We added new expression to the song because it suited today's generation. The song means that we won't bear any more and we will not sit quiet. We will fight for our rights and justice," he said.
"Satyagraha", slated to release Friday, reflects the uprising of the middle-class against a corrupt and unjust system. The film has an impressive star cast including Ajay Devgn, Kareena Kapoor, Arjun Rampal, Manoj Bajpayee and Amrita Rao. – IANS

At this point in the build, there are TONS of decisions to make. I'm currently contemplating cabinets, countertops, sinks and faucets.
We are going with white cabinets in the kitchen at 9 ft tall which will look somewhat like this. They won't go all the way to the ceiling since our kitchen ceiling is 10 ft tall, however.
Traditional Kitchen by Millbrook Architects & Designers Crisp Architects
For countertops we have (read I have) gone back and forth between a gray and white carrara marble look in quartz or black granite.
For the marble look I've considered these.
Cambria Torquay – Has grey and tan veining. Cost is around $70 per foot, but you can get any edge your heart desires for no additional charge and undermount sink finishing is as cheap as $150 at a local shop.
Caesarstone London Gray or Frosty Carrina – 2 new colors by Caesarstone at $76+ per foot.
Here's an example of Frosty Carrina from a gardenweb member. (Gardenweb is the best by the way.)
Here's an example of London Grey in a kitchen from a gardenweb member.
Among these options, I think Cambria Torquay is my favorite at the moment. I'm even contemplating putting it in our master bathroom as well.
The other option I am still considering is black granite. I don't think I like this option as well, but many of the kitchens I've saved on Houzz have white cabinets with black countertops (either soapstone or granite) so I guess my subconscious still likes it.
Here are the options I've seen in our price range

The breath can enliven and invigorate both body and mind. Try this exercise whenever you're feeling sluggish for an immediate lift.
- Stand with your feet together or a comfortable distance apart. Inhale slowly through your nose as you turn your palms out and raise your arms to the sides.
- Continue inhaling as you bring your arms over your head until your hands meet.
- Exhale audibly through your mouth as you lower your arms to your sides, palms down. Repeat 5 to 10 times, then relax.
As you inhale, fill the bottom part of your lungs first, expanding your abdomen. Continue to inhale, filling the middle part of the lungs, so the lower part of the rib cage expands. Finally, inhale to the upper lungs, expanding the upper part of the rib cage. Exhale in reverse order: first release the upper lungs, then the middle lungs, and finally the lower lungs. End the exhalation by squeezing the abdomen slightly. Make your exhalation as gradual and even as the inhalation. Breathe slowly and deeply, but without strain.
- Promotes deep breathing.
- Oxygenates the blood and increases circulation
- Helps strengthen the lungs
- Helps relieve asthma and other bronchial ailments
- Loosens the shoulders

&heartsI'm so in love with this &hearts
I totally love my new &heartsTokidoki x Hello Kitty 10" Tablet Case&hearts I goes so much with my personality & love the quality.... it's just perfect for me & it does work for my Ipad 4!!
In love
At first I was a little worried about sizing because I'm using it for my Nook Tablet but it fits perfectly!I love the quality and design!
Super Cute Case
The case is a well stitched PVC leather print. It's padded enough to protect your devices from minor drops and scuffs. It's a cute design too! Just have to make sure nothing comes in from the top and sticks to the soft interior fabric that could scratch your device. Easy to clean outside. Easy to clean inside (vacuum hose with upholstry attachment).
Adorable iPad case does not fit with cov
Adorable except will not fit if you have a cover or thin iPad skin on your iPad will only fit iPad without anything on it
extremely cute, good quality
Adorable case although a bit un flexible amd is a very tight fit on my ipad.
Good and Bad
The good part is that it's well made and the design is cute. the bad part is the closure and fit. you wont be able to have a case on your ipad and fit it in + it fits very snugly. I feel like this would better suit an ipad mini or other smaller tablet. also it isnt good for quick access because you have to open and close it and take it out each time versus one that is a cover like a smart cover or something. they do ship from ontario,CA though, very close to mee!
Thank you husband! I love this.
Love that my iPad 3 fits so nice in this and the inside of this case is soft and padded.
Tokidoki Lover
My daughter just loved it.

Tim Cook makes Twitter gaffe, tweets picture of an iMac running Windows
And it looks like Windows XP
APPLE CEO Tim Cook made a Twitter gaffe last week, having posted an image showing an iMac running Windows.
Cook paid a visit to the Mac Pro production line in Texas last week, and excitedly tweeted a picture while he was there. Cook, who only has 64 tweets to his name so far, slipped up, however, as the Mac computer in the photo is shown running Windows.
This suggests, if not confirms, that the firm relies on Microsoft's operating system to build its Mac Pro desktop PC, likely to run some sort of electronic design automation (EDA) software.
Watching the Mac Pro come together in Austin yesterday,thanks to a team loaded with American manufacturing expertise. pic.twitter.com/5LcCOFIVgC
— Tim Cook (@tim_cook) June 6, 2014
It's not clear what version of Windows the iMac in the image is running, although it looks like either Windows 7 or Windows XP, with the icons in the taskbar hinting that it might be the latter.
Of course, the snapshot isn't a big deal, but Cook did make a point of laying into Microsoft during Apple's Worldwide Developer Conference (WWDC) keynote last week.
He said that while OS X Mavericks has been its most successful operating system release so far, Microsoft's Windows 8 operating system has been installed on just 14 percent of compatible machines.
However, judging by the ageing software on Apple's Mac Pro production line, it looks like it could do with an update to the latest version too. µ

O'Reilly's ObamaCare Debate: Is It Immoral to Hurt Some Americans to Help Common Good?
Millions of Americans will see their health insurance costs rise because of ObamaCare. Tonight on The Factor, host Bill O'Reilly led a debate on whether it's okay to hurt some Americans to help others.
Talking Points Memo: Will Americans Rise Up Against ObamaCare?
Juan Williams argued that it's "absolutely right" because it's being imposed for the common good. "You must remember, Bill, whenever you end a discriminatory system, there are going to be some winners and some losers."
"Common good – it's not good for people who are paying higher health insurance premiums and higher deductibles and co-pays. That's not common good," O'Reilly challenged.
"Bill, that's a very small percentage," Williams disputed. He cited an MIT economics professor who said 80 percent of Americans will see no change.
"I don't believe that for a second, I think that's propaganda," O'Reilly shot back. "That's what some pinhead said, that's not a fact!"
Mary Katharine Ham joined the debate, pointing out that the Obama administration pitched the Affordable Care Act as a law that would bring health care costs down for everyone. They also vowed that people would be able to keep their existing doctors – a statement that Ham said is untrue. "It is immoral to make those promises and then break them."

text: My diverse interests have resulted in the pursuit of two projects that focus on different aspects of cancer cell biology. In the first of these we are investigating the role that bile acids may have in promoting colon cancer. Here we are investigating the effects that bile acids have on colon cancer etiology using both molecular and cellular biology approaches and animal models to identify bile acid-activated signaling pathways. The second project focuses on a novel observation made while characterizing the interaction between the p53 tumor suppressor and the scaffolding protein 14-3-3 gamma which suggests that 14-3-3 gamma overexpression may cooperate with loss of p53 function to promote chromosome instability. In these studies we are focused on understanding how 14-3-3gamma affects the processes of chromosome segregation.

'Tis the season for spring garden shows. They always occur at the perfect time of year: those last weeks of winter that seem to drag on the longest, when you can't wait to get outside and start digging and pruning and clearing. On the roster is the Ideal Home & Garden Show, which takes place this weekend at the Careport Centre in Hamilton. I've never been, so I'll be checking it out since I'm new to the area. Apparently there are over three acres of exhibitors, as well as full-scale displays, like an old shipping container converted into a little cottage living space—I actually dream of plunking one of these in my own garden someday. There is also a lineup of speakers, including Jane Lockhart from W Network's Colour Confidential, and Lynn Crawford, host of the Food Network's Pitchin' In and author of a book by the same name that was published in January.
If you live in Hamilton or the surrounding area, I have two sets of two tickets to give away for the opening night's Charity Night this Thursday (March 1) from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. There will be live music, a charity auction to raise funds for various community organizations, a stage segment by Reena Nerbas and Boo from Boo's Bistro, one-on-one advice and a huge door prize. You also will get the opportunity to return to the show over the weekend.
To enter, simply leave a comment below, telling us what gardening inspiration you hope to see at the show. Two responses will be selected at random Wednesday, February 29, 2012.
Contest closes February 29, 2011 at 12pm EST. Open to all residents of Canada, except those in Quebec. Not open to any Transcontinental Media employees, their families, or any other persons with whom they reside. Good luck!

Learn to Manage Conflict in a Family Business at UNH Event March 5
Learn to Manage Conflict in a Family Business at UNH Event March 5
An expert from the UNH Center for Family Business will discuss how to understand conflict styles at a Wednesday, March 5, 2014, event at Granite State College.
"Managing Conflict in Family Businesses" begins at 8:30 a.m. at Granite State College, 25 Hall St., Concord. Registration and coffee start at 8 a.m. Lunch and networking will follow at noon.
Bill Hassey, business consultant and senior lecturer in the UNH department of management, will discuss how understanding how people manage conflict—in different situations and with different people—is the first step to handling conflict successfully.
"Effective conflict management builds trust within the family and employees, increasing creative problem solving and productivity. This interactive workshop helps individuals understand their own conflict styles and the styles of those around them, and how their styles change depending on their conflict partners," said Barbara Draper, director of the UNH Center for Family Business.
The event is free to members. There is a special one-time, trial, nonmember registration fee of $99 per person or $250 per family. To register, call Draper at 2-1107 or e-mail email@example.com.

Dr. Steve
Anderson, associate professor of geology at Black Hills State, was
interviewed recently by writer Rosella Lorenzi with Discovery News
regarding lava flows on Mount Etna, Italy. The article appeared in a
news brief on the news channel Internet site.
Anderson and
several other volcanologists were asked about a rare type of lava
pouring out of the active Italian volcano. Lava containing
amphibole, a complex group of hydrous silicate minerals that
includes water, was of concern to scientists. It was flowing at a
lower level than another lava streams (without amphibole) higher on
the mountain. The presence of amphibole indicates the lava is coming
from great depths and thus has the potential to be more explosive.
Anderson told the
news channel reporter, "Amphibole is more explosive lava type. The
intense fountaining of Etna suggests that this magma is arriving at
the surface with a lot of
still present. This indicates that the magma is either rising very
quickly from the
still present. This indicates that the magma is either rising very
quickly from the
magma chamber through the conduit, or that the
conduit is not very permeable to gas flow, or a combination of
Etna is
one of the most studied volcanoes in the world. Records of the
mountain's volcanic history date back to 1500 BC. Since that time
some 90 recorded eruptions have taken place. Typically two types of
eruptions occur on Etna: persistent explosive eruptions with minor
lava flows from one or more of its three major craters, and from
mountain side or flank eruptions originating from fissures. Activity
since 1995 has been at the summit crater level and more explosive.
Anderson, who has been
working on the lava follow of Etna for the past three years, plans
to return to Etna in the near future for further research. He has
been a member of the science faculty at BHSU since 1991. The BHSU
geologist completed a one-year teaching sabbatical at the University
of Arizona during the 1998-99 academic year and served as chairman
of the BHSU science department last year. Anderson earned his Ph.D.
in geology from Arizona State University in 1990.
David A. Salomon, assistant professor of
English at Black Hills State University, recently delivered a paper
at the 2nd Annual Paideia Retreat held near Atikokan,
Ontario, Canada. Salomon was invited to speak at the five-day
"think tank" on globalization, technology, and culture because
of his work in the humanities and technology.
Salomon's paper, "The Technology of Space
in Early Modern Printed Texts," addressed issues of page layout
and space in texts printed in England in the late-16th century. At
the center of Salomon's discussion was Robert Parsons' 1582 The
Christian Directory, often described as the most popular
devotional work of the
period. Using the theoretical
constructs provided by Gerard Genette and Michel de
Certeau, Salomon argued that Parsons employed the margins of his
page as a site for debate–particularly for debate related to
Catholic issues, virtually outlawed in the England at the time.
Using the margins as "paratext," Salomon explained the ways
marginal references and notation act in much the same way that
hypertext theory describes associative thinking. Page layout and
manipulation are treated here as a new technology for the 16th
At the retreat, morning papers were delivered
by literary scholars, philosophers, political philosophers, and
scientists followed by daily discussions of the role of technology
both in the various areas and in modern life in general.

I don't know if Heroes VI has an upgrade system planned, but it could. Such mechanics are easy to implement and already span the strategy genre since its beginnings.
First, an explanation of the Upgrade Number paradigm. There are 2 methods to increase the strength of one's army in a strategy game:
1. create a new unit.
2. upgrade your existing units to perform better.
Sometimes, these two methods will operate off of different resources which allows the player to pursue both at once. Much more commonly, however, he must choose one or the other. Developers use Upgrade Numbers to keep track of the balance between the two. The Upgrade Number indicates the number of units that must already exist for a unit upgrade to have the same effect as unit production. For example:
A footman has a combat strength of 10. You can also purchase an upgrade for the same price as a footman that will boost their strength by 20%.
Here is the result if he buys a new footman vs upgrading the ones he has:
# of units Current Strength Buy a Unit Upgrade Units
1 10 20 12
2 20 30 24
3 30 40 36
4 40 50 48
5 50 60 60
6 60 70 72
7 70 80 84
If there are fewer than 5 footmen, he should build a new one. If there are more than 5, he should upgrade them. The Upgrade Number is 5.
The formula for Upgrade Numbers is U.N. = UpgradeCost/UnitCost/Upgrade% (where Upgrade% is 0.2 for 20%)
In this way, Strategy game devs can control the size of armies in a limited fashion: weaker upgrades mean higher upgrade numbers and bigger armies because players will spend their money on units rather than on upgrades.
2 major factors also influence unit upgrades: repair-ability and damage negation. Defensive upgrades that negate damage rather than increasing health can allow an army to avoid casualties altogether; this applies only to NUMBER-damage reduction as percent-reduction is just adding effective hitpoints. In addition, in games where damaged units are easily repaired up to full health, getting the final blow on an enemy unit or escaping your own injured units can be well worth getting the upgrade.
Heroes games have historically had plenty of unit bonuses from their heroes, but it would also be possible to add resource-based upgrades if the Devs so choose. The primary advantage is as follows:
I am a mapmaker, and I want to make a map with a well-defended home area for every player. Now, in the event that one player turtles inside his home, he may be able to create an unbreakable defense. To remedy this, I place resources in the open middle area. If one player turtles, the other player gets more resources than him...significantly more resources. This will allow him to break the defensive line in an epic battle of awesomeness WITHOUT the game going on for hours and hours. However, for other balance reasons the expanding player has growth limits on his units and cannot outmass the defender. This map is not possible unless he has other methods of strengthening his army that are not available to the defender with fewer resources.

2011, to say the least, was big for comics. After cooling down from mega events (kind of) DC and Marvel returned to the form with Flashpoint and Fear Itself, all of which was overshadowed by DC's relaunch, The New 52. Several big creators from the 90's returned to the big time, the 22-page format began to dwindle away, and if that wasn't enough this was THE YEAR of day-and-date digital comics, more than 50% of comics sold every Wednesday are now available digitally the same day their released in stores.

I just now found the Site Directory, which is an idea that I was going to suggest, but I think some big improvements could be made to the current one.
To be honest, it's not as useful as it could be. All it does is repeat the brief description given in the "all sites" tab of the pop-up div shown when you click the StackExchange logo at the top... plus some statistics about how many posts, views, etc. there are in that section. I think these brief descriptions leave most people are unclear about where to post their questions... the current system simply doesn't allow anyone to acquire a coherent understanding without loading the FAQ of all the sites relevant to their question.
Section 1: Detailed Descriptions
Section 2: TreeView Directory
Section 3: Increased Visibility
Section 1: Detailed Descriptions
I think new users would appreciate longer descriptions... specifically a detailed explanation of what is considered "on-topic" for each site. Example:
CodeReview (objective)
- Code correctness
- Best practices and design pattern usage in your code
- Application UI
- Security issues in a code snippet, etc.
StackOverflow (objective)
- a specific programming problem
- a software algorithm
- software tools commonly used by programmers
- matters that are unique to the programming profession
Programming (subjective)
- Software engineering
- Developer testing
- Algorithm and data structure concepts
- Design patterns
- Architecture
- Development methodologies
- Quality assurance
- Software law
- Programming puzzles
- Freelancing and business concerns
Section 2: TreeView Directory
The list of descriptions would get pretty long if you listed all of them at once, so it would have to be done in a tree view... which you could use jQuery toggle to make. Example content:
- Programming
- Stack Overflow
- Code Review
- Code Golf
- Game Development
- User Interface
Site & Network Admin
- Webmasters
- WordPress
- Server Fault
- Database Administrators
- IT Security
End User
- Super User
- Operating Systems
- Unix and Linux
- Ask Ubuntu
- Android Enthusiasts
- Apple
- Web Applications
- Gaming
- Role-playing Games
Electronic Equipment & Hardware
- Electronics and Robotics
- Computer Hardware
- Computer Architecture
- Electronics and Robotics
- Audio/Visual Equipment
Audio & Visual Production
- Photography
- Video Recording and Production
- Vector/Raster Graphic Design
- CAD/3-D Design
- Audio Recording and Production
Language & Typesetting
- Writers
- English Language and Usage
- TeX -LaTeX
Financial & Business Management
- Personal Finance
- Startups
Theory & Research
- Physics
- Theoretical Computer Science
- Mathematics
(And so on...)
The tree view could be implemented in one of two ways:
- Tree View Nav Bar - The tree view would be off to the left, and if you clicked on any bottom-level node, such as Stack Overflow, Code Review, etc., the detailed description (from Section 1) would load to the right of the Tree View. Allowing the user to ctrl+click the bottom-level nodes would allow them to load multiple detail descriptions at once.
- Inline Tree View - The detailed descriptions would be shown within the tree itself (like it is in the Soh Tanaka demo.)
Section 3: Increased Visibility
The Site Directory, once it's made useful, should be either in every site's FAQ or up on the toolbar at the top, right beside "FAQ." This will make new users (esp. those that find StackOverflow via google results) aware that (1) more than one site exists, and (2) what types of questions are appropriate at the different sites/forums.
PS: Of course, the site statistics, questions (answers, % answered, total users, visits/day) could still be included at the bottom of each site's detailed description.
PSS: Is a working example needed in order to convince people of this suggestion's merit? I am more than willing to make one. :)

Jax Taylor About Sleeping With Kristen Doute: "What Would It Matter?"
Rumors circulated on this week's Real Housewives of Beverly Hills about whether Jax Taylor has hooked up with Kristen Doute. Now, Jax is addressing the rumors.
"It was no drama really — except for Stassi asking me about the rumors," Jax writes in this week's Bravo blog. "I was kind of like déjà vu going back to thinking about what happened over the past year. My first instinct was to smooth everything over, and that's what I did. I just didn't want to make a big deal about it."
"The night they are talking about happened so long ago — like a year ago," Jax says. "Stassi and I weren't even dating at the time, and neither were Tom and Kristen, to be honest, so what would it matter? I just wanted to downplay it and not make this a huge deal."
"At this point anything could have gone down, so I'm not surprised Stassi believed the rumors," Jax writes. "I'm sure she was in shock as well."
So how did Jax feel about Stassi texting from Kristen's phone? "I wasn't shocked when Stassi tried to trick me via text," he continues. "It's absolutely something I would have expected from Stassi. She's like a MacGyver. And I still haven't learned how to get around it. She's really good at it. But this one I was expecting."
Do you think Jax slept with Kristen?

Inside the (Sundance) Jury Room with Joe Berlinger: Part One
At the Continental Airlines ticket counter of the Salt Lake City
Airport, on the final day of the 1997 Sundance Film Festival,
documentary competition juror Joe Berlinger, his wife and his daughter,
are preparing for the flight home. At the awards ceremony the previous
evening, dramatic and documentary winners were announced. Berlinger is
anxious to share with indieWIRE an insight into the jury process and a
few days later after a few preliminary phone calls and a fax, we chat.
The result is a unique perspective on the experience of serving as a
Sundance "judge," as well as the inner-workings and dynamics of a festival's
Comprised of five individuals who have had documentary films screen at
Sundance, the 1997 Documentary Competition Jury was: Jerret Engle
("Something Within Me"), Deborah Hoffman ("Complaints Of A Dutiful
Daughter"), Michael Lumpkin ("The Celluloid Closet"), Lourdes Portillo ("The
Devil Never Sleeps"), and Joe Berlinger. Two of Berlinger's
documentaries, produced with his partner Bruce Sinofsky, have been
included in the Sundance competition, "Brother's Keeper" (1992) and
"Paradise Lost" (1996). At the last week's ceremony, the jury proclaimed
Jane C. Wagner and Tina DiFeliciantonio's "Girls Like Us" the Grand Jury
Prize winner in the documentary competition. The group presented
filmmaker Arthur Dong ("Licensed To Kill") with the DGA's Directing Award;
Renee Tajima-Pena's "My America...Or Honk If You Love Buddha" was awarded the cinematography award for Christine Choy's work; the Freedom of
Expression Award was split between Macky Alston's "Family Name" and Laura
Angelica Simon's "Fear And Learning At Hoover Elementary", and a special
jury prize was presented to Kirby Dick's "Sick: The Life And Death Of Bob
Flanagan, Supermasochist". Also, Monte Bramer's "Paul Monette: The Brink Of Summer's End" was presented with the festivals' Audience Award and
Dong's "Licensed To Kill" took the Filmmakers' Trophy.
Berlinger is blunt about his reasons for wanting to participate in the
Sundance jury -- his feeling is that previous documentary juries have
slighted his and Sinofsky's films. He clarifies that he "wanted to be a
juror because I have not understood how we have done so well in the film
world, but we have struck out in the documentary world (the
International Documentary Association, Sundance Film Festival juries,
and The Oscars)." Berlinger explains that he "really wanted to have an
understanding our how the process works," due to the fact that he was
"incredulous at the lack of recognition (his films have received) from
our peers."
Beginning the discussion, an obvious first question for a Sundance juror
is what sort of influence Festival organizers have over the juries'
final decisions. Berlinger is frank, "Geoffrey (Sundance Institute
Programming Director Geoffrey Gilmore) made it a point to stay out.
Aside from obvious rules he stayed out of it, which I think is very
admirable." The group embarked on screenings of competition
documentaries from day one. On day five, Wednesday, the group met for
two hours for an initial discussion. By then Berlinger had already seen
what, in his mind, was the festivals' best documentary, Kirby Dick's
"Sick". It was also clear that, as Berlinger explains, "we seemed to have
some very different opinions."
On day eight of the festival, Friday, the group met for eight hours in a
session that became a series of compromises leading to the announcement
of their decisions at Saturday night's Awards' ceremony. Berlinger
acknowledges that within the first half hour of discussion on Friday, it
was clear that there would be no consensus. At a point in the
discussion each juror revealed their top choice -- five different films
were named. Confirming that the jury's proceedings were, "pleasant, but
fractious," he reveals that the group were "so un-unanimous, it was
pretty staggering."

Bruce's Ashton friendshipBruce Willis has admitted he loves being friends with ex-wife Demi Moore and her toyboy lover, Ashton Kutcher.
The 'Die Hard' actor, who split from the stunning actress in 1998 after 11 years together, says the trio regularly congratulate themselves on having such an amicable relationship.
He told British chat show host Michael Parkinson: "It's an amazing thing - all three of us give a lot of compliments."
Last year, the 50-year-old - who has three daughters with Demi - confessed he still loved his ex-wife.
He said: "We both still love each other."
