Getting Burned
What do you get when you combine expired photographic paper, a large format camera, and the blazing sun?
Well, this Friday night, MOPA will be hosting a lecture by the San Francisco based-photographer, Chris McCaw and he'll be able to answer the above question and any others about his photographic project, Sunburn, that you throw his way. Ten years ago (time flies!), McCaw inadvertently created a whole new technique and approach to photography that has since garnered him worldwide exhibitions, an Andy Warhol Foundation grant, and acquisition into numerous museum collections. With a medium over a century old, that's not an easy thing to do! He called this new technique "sunburn" - McCaw creates images by allowing the sun to burn its path onto a paper negative during a long exposure, using the camera as a tool for both creation and destruction.
What sets McCaw apart from his peers is his ability to be inventive and unique, while mastering the craft. What began as a love for photography and being known for his exquisite platinum/palladium prints, led to an uncharted path. He took a medium in throes of technological change with the advancements of digital cameras and went back to the basics. Photography as a word means 'to write with light', which is exactly what McCaw has done. It took years to figure out which papers 'burn' best, which lenses help speed up or slow down the process, and how many different ways he could reinterpret one idea. Most often, the sun burns so hot, it leaves a hole in the paper where it has traced. The results are one-of-a-kind images that have been made with view cameras ranging from 4x5 inch to 30x40 inch in places throughout the Western Hemisphere from the Artic Circle to the Galapagos.
McCaw is truly one of the most innovative photographers of our time. And although I've heard it all before, I wouldn't miss the chance to see him lecture again this weekend, which will be followed by a book signing for his monograph Chris McCaw Sunburn. To learn more about Chris McCaw, visit his website and to get a preview of what's to come, check out this interview, produced by the Nelson Atkins Museum of Art.

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) -- Veterinarians from an Ohio zoo are performing medical tests on the five exotic animals held there since their suicidal owner released them in October.
The Columbus zoo began caring for three leopards, two primates and a bear after their owner released dozens of animals that had to be killed by authorities near Zanesville. One leopard was euthanized after being struck by a door lowering between two enclosures.
Under a quarantine order, the animals can't be released unless they're free of dangerous diseases.
Officials initially had concerns about whether the animals were strong enough to survive being anesthetized for testing. The state veterinarian determined Tuesday they were.
The Ohio Department of Agriculture says the animals are undergoing physical exams, X-rays and blood testing. Results are expected in one to two weeks.

OCOEE, Fla. - Authorities released the 911 calls from the carjacking that occurred outside of an Ocoee convenience store that involved a 5-month-old infant.
The car was stolen around 7:20 a.m. at the Kangaroo Express at the corner of Bluford Avenue and Silver Star Road.
According to Ocoee police, Sara Bayes left the child in her car, which was running, while she went inside the store to buy some cigarettes. When she returned, her car was gone.
In the calls, Bayes can be heard crying as she told dispatchers what happened. Dispatchers asked if she had custody issues with the child's father.
"No I don't," she replied in the call. "No, just some random dude walked up and got in my car."
Local 6 spoke to Bayes, who says she thinks the person who held open the door for her to walk into the gas station was the one who took her car and child.
"I honestly didn't think I was in there for that long and it just goes to show how quick things can happen," she said.
Police found the car abandoned about a block away, and the infant was still inside. The baby was not harmed, police said.
"I am so thankful he would leave her but at the same time, the fact he would take my car, it doesn't even describe any words right now," she said.
Ocoee police said they were searching for the man who stole the car. He was described only as a white man with a buzz cut who was wearing blue jeans.
Bayes hasn't been charged with leaving a child unattended in a motor vehicle, but if she is, she would face a $50 to $500 fine. Police said a police dog tracked the possible thief heading north on Kissimmee Avenue but no arrests have been made.
ClickOrlando.com initially reported that the incident occurred in Orlando. We regret the error.

Did you know?
Most Karoo shearing farms still use traditional hand shears and wool presses.
Zwelile Hans is a world champion living in the quiet eastern Free State village of Zastron, in the shadow of the Maluti Mountains.
He isn't a big-name cricketer, an Olympian or a Springbok rugby player. Zwelile Hans shears sheep better than most people on Earth. The 'Man with the Golden Blades' has been named best individual shearer in the annual World Sheep-Shearing Championships no less than four times in the past decade.
It's well worth experiencing a farm stay in the Karoo during shearing season. The massive old shed feels like a country cathedral as you step inside. Natural light from special skylights in the roof falls onto the working area to guide the shearers and wool classers in their endeavours.
The sound level inside the shed – a constant bawling of sheep or angora goats – rises above the workers' voices. Occasionally, an outraged ram will bleat shrilly as he loses his winter coat to the catwalks and high-end fashion stores of Europe. To the untrained ear, he sounds just like a child throwing a tantrum.
A fresh woolly beast is led into the shed every five minutes or so. The shearer clamps its body firmly between his legs and begins to work his magic with an old-school traditional set of blades, from the hindquarters to the head.
A firm pat on the rear end sends the sheep or goat down the chute to join his shorn companions. The throwing of the fleece – a rather grand gesture involving a skilled flick of the wrist – commences. The wool graders gather around the lanolin-slicked table and pick at the fleece, inspecting the length, strength and fineness of the fibre.
More and more Karoo farms are opening up to tourists, and one of the special features of a farm stay in the heartland of South Africa is time spent with the wool workers – and the animals – back in the old shearing shed.

You can also do the world's highest natural commercial abseil at Oribi, take the Wild Slide across the gorge, white-water raft or hike the edge of the gorge or the area at the foot of the falls below.
Golfers will be pleased to know there are eight golf courses in the vicinity, one of which, San Lameer, is rated among South Africa's top 30 courses.
The South Coast with its sub-tropical vegetation sustains an abundance of birdlife; more than 400 bird species have been recorded along the coast. Birds, as well as the floral diversity of the area, can be enjoyed at numerous small reserves including the Oribi Gorge, Umtamvuna, Mpenjati and Vernon Crookes nature reserve.
On the commercial side, apart from many smaller centres, there are two massive shopping malls along the South Coast: the Galleria in Amanzimtoti and the Shelly Centre in Shelly Beach. Both have movie theatres and the Galleria has an ice rink.

Potentially Toxic Algal Species Confirmed in South Texas
AUSTIN, Texas — Since January 2009, a microscopic alga most often found in north and west Texas has been confirmed at four south Texas sites: Corpus Christi, Kingsville, McAllen, and Jim Hogg County. All four occurrences caused fish kills in private ponds and investigations by the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department's Kills and Spills Team have found no evidence that public waters were affected.
The organism, Prymnesium parvum or golden alga, is a naturally-occurring species that was first confirmed in Texas' Pecos River in 1985, marking the first record in the Western Hemisphere. Since then, golden alga has been found to occur in inland waters of an additional 15 states. Prior to 1985, this species was mostly known from brackish European waters.
Sometimes the algae reproduce very rapidly, resulting in what is referred to as a bloom. Golden alga blooms can give the water a yellow or copper color and cause foaming along shorelines. Under certain environmental conditions, golden alga produces toxins that affect gill-breathing organisms such as fish, clams and mussels. There is no evidence that these toxins harm other wildlife, livestock or humans.
Fish can escape a toxic bloom by retreating into an area that receives fresh, flowing water, such as a cove or inlet. Since 2001 golden alga has caused seasonal fish kills in the upper reaches of the Canadian, Red, Brazos, Colorado, and Rio Grande river basins. The lower Brazos River experienced two fish kills in 2006; before this event most fish kills had largely taken place west of Interstate Highway 35.
It remains unknown why golden alga blooms have been restricted to freshwater in the U.S., while they are a coastal concern in places such as Europe, the Mediterranean, and New Zealand. Due to its wide salinity tolerance, there is concern that golden alga might one day threaten Texas' bays and estuaries and cause fish kills similar to those caused by red tides.
TPWD is coordinating efforts to monitor fish kills caused by toxic golden alga, to research golden alga for better understanding and management, and to manage the recreational fisheries of Texas with river authorities, state agencies and university researchers. Studies have resulted in control methods for golden alga in ponds and small reservoirs; however these methods are not economically or ecologically feasible for application to larger water bodies.
Golden alga does not thrive in waters with salinity below approximately 1.5 parts per thousand. Pond owners might reduce the chances of a bloom, and any resulting threat to surrounding water bodies, by avoiding the filling or topping of ponds with salty ground or surface water.
TPWD has neither the authority nor the resources to treat private ponds. More information about golden alga, including treatment options for private waters, can be found on the TPWD Web site.

AcquaintedLogic puzzles require you to think. You will have to be logical in your reasoning.
You and your spouse invite four other couples to a party. During the course of the conversation, it is discovered that, prior to the party, each person except you was acquainted with a different number of the people present. Assuming the acquaintance relationship is symmetric (i.e., if you are acquainted with someone, that person is also acquainted with you), then how many people did your spouse know prior to the party? How many people did you know?
AnswerStart with the assumption that everybody knows their own spouses -- which means that everybody there knew at least one person. Discounting yourself, everyone knows a different number of people, which means that (again, discounting yourself) one person knows one, one person knows two, one person knows three, etc., up to one person who knows nine people (everybody else). Number the people (besides yourself) according to how many people they know, so that person 1 is the one who knows one person, person 2 is the one who knows two people, etc.
Now pair up people with their spouses. If person 9 knows everybody else, s/he must be the only person who knows person 1, because person 1 only knows one person. So they must be married. Person 8 knows everybody except for person 1. Person 2 therefore knows person 8 and person 9. Person 9 is married to person 1, so person 2's spouse must be person 8. Person 7 knows everybody except for persons 1 and 2. Person 3 therefore knows persons 7, 8, and 9. Persons 8 and 9 are married to persons 2 and 1 respectively, so person 3's spouse must be person 7. Person 6 knows everybody except for persons 1, 2, and 3. Person 4 therefore knows persons 6, 7, 8, and 9. The only one of those not yet paired up is person 6, so person 4 and person 6 must be married.
This leaves person 5, who knows everyone except persons 1, 2, 3, and 4. These five people, therefore, must be persons 6, 7, 8, 9, and you. Since you are the only one of these five not yet paired up, person 5 must be your spouse. So your spouse knew five people prior to the party.
The above also determines that the people who know you are persons 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9. So you knew five people prior to the party also.

There was a recent SVN checkin last night (revision 9948) that may impact a few Flex 4 apps/skins out there… For a bit more background on the issue/decision, see the Spark Text Primitives Decision page on the Adobe Flex Open Source site. But for now, here's a quick quote:
To summarize the decisions we've made:
- Replace SimpleText with Label, a UIComponent version of the same component.
- Instead of extending GraphicElement, RichText will extend UIComponent (like Label will).
- All of the spark text components will move to spark.components.*, so there will be spark.components.Label, spark.components.RichText, and spark.components.RichEditableText.
- The base class for SimpleText and RichText, spark.primitives.supportClasses.TextGraphicElement, will now extend UIComponent (instead of GraphicElement) and be moved and renamed to spark.components.supportClasses.TextBase. All of our text skin parts will now be typed as TextBase instead of TextGraphicElement.
- For now, RichEditableText and RichText will co-exist. Performance numbers showed that it may be possible to collapse them, but we don't have the time right now to do this. We will revisit this later on, time permitting.
You can download new builds of Flext 4 SDK from here.

Mauricio Pellegrino's well-organised side secured all three points and their first win of the group stages courtesy of goals in each half from their Brazilian midfielder
The home side forged the first opportunity of note after a tepid opening, Sofiane Feghouli latching onto a divine Fernando Gago through-ball seven minutes in. The Algerian lacked the composure to convert the chance however, firing wide with only Mickael Landreau to beat.
As the match started to shift into gear Valencia's midfield began to take hold of the game, with Fernando Gago and Jonas in particular shining for the home side.
Despite Gago's probing passes it was Lille that fashioned the next chance of note, a weak challenge from Valencia centre-back Victor Ruiz pushing the ball straight into the path of Florent Lamont on the edge of the penalty area. His shot from 18 yards was wayward though, drifting the wrong side of Vicente Guaita's right-hand post.
Valencia made the visitors rue that miss by taking the lead shortly after through Jonas. The Brazilian gave the home side the lead on 38 minutes with a confident side-footed finish from 12 yards after he had played a neat one-two with Roberto Soldado on the edge of the Lille box.
The French side had an opportunity to equalise before the break, but were again wasteful. Dimitri Payet was the guilty man on this occasion, slicing an effort into the side netting when one-on-one with Guaita after racing on to a fine pass from Idrissa Gueye inside his own half.
Soldado should have increased Valencia's lead on the hour mark after some exquisite build-up play from Andres Guardado and Feghouli. The former drove forward with the ball from the halfway line before slipping a neat pass to Feghouli, who did brilliantly to dig out a cross from the left-hand side of the area. Soldado appeared to be expecting a low cross though, and after adjusting to meet the cross could only head an effort over Landreau's crossbar.
Jonas then added his and Valencia's second of the night in fortuitous circumstances after 75 minutes. The midfielder dribbled down the right before lifting a hopeful cross into the area that caught Landreau slightly off his line, and clipped the top of the bar before nestling in the back of the net.
The home side looked to run down the clock in the final 10 minutes of the match, introducing Dani Parejo in midfield, and affording the goalscorer Jonas a standing ovation from the Valencia fans at Mestalla.
Any chance Lille had of getting anything from the game were deflated in the 86th minute when their captain Mathieu Debuchy was shown his marching orders by the referee for his second bookable offence of the match. After picking up a yellow card at the end of the first half for a rash challenge on Aly Cissokho, he repeated the trick late in the second half on Dani Parejo, and the referee duly sent him off.

ORLANDO, Fla. - A newspaper deliveryman discovered a man suffering from several gunshot wounds and burns after noticing a house was ablaze in Orlando, according to officials.
The worker, who was delivering the Orlando Sentinel, noticed the fire around 4 a.m. Tuesday at a house on Quincy Woods Lane, just north of State Road 417 in south Orange County.
The deliveryman then saw 44-year-old James Succi struggling near the home, and when he went to drag him out of the home, the deliveryman noticed that Succi had been shot, deputies said.
Succi was taken to Orlando Regional Medical Center where he is in critical condition but is expected to survive.
Richard Padilla, a neighbor of Succi, said his sister called him in a panic after she had heard the commotion and tried to help Succi.
"By the time she came out he was on the floor bleeding and she was trying to help talk to him and keep him awake," Padilla said.
"He was real beat up," said neighbor Jomar Landru, who added that the victim is going to be the godfather of his unborn child. "I don't know who'd take their time to do this. He's such a good person."
Firefighters extinguished the blaze, but the house was destroyed in the fire and the shooting victim's dog was killed in the fire.
Officials said Succi's car may have been stolen and set ablaze near Sandy Oaks Lane and Lancaster Road, about 10 miles from his house.
"The car was totally engulfed in flames," a neighbor said. "We didn't hear or see nothing."
"Our investigators believe this was not a random act of violence," said Jane Watrel of the Orange County Sheriff's Office.
Anyone with information about the shooting is urged to call Crimeline at 800-423-TIPS.

There is a particular argument Objectivists like to use to justify preemptive war. I'll give you the gist (I'm sure you'll recognize it immediately):
If a bully were on a playground, and you see him about to hit you (or approaching aggressively in a manner that would suggest he was going to hit you) you are justified in striking first.
Extrapolating this into preemptive war justifications, it would mean that if the US had evidence to suggest that Iran was going to attack it, then the US would be justified in attacking first.
Is this legitimate grounds for a preemptive strike/war? I have my reservations on comparing an act involving individuals vs that involving governments. What is the libertarian view on this sort of reasoning? Do they accept it, and if not, why?
It is context sensitive. Without context, the result is total war.
Can you expand on that please?
Preemtive strike is fine, but the example given sucks.
Yeah, it's a bad example for sure. But I still don't see how a preemptive strike could be justified given that the justification would be made from "intelligence" gathered from the state itself. And–as the US has learned in Iraq–intelligence is often fabricated to drag a country into war for reasons beyond a strictly preemptive, "defensive" strike.
Nothing about the state is justified.
States are not individuals. If you have determined that the leader of a nation is planning on attacking you, you have a right to defend yourself against this individual. You do not have the right to attack the people of that nation. they did not do anything agaisnt you. Defense of war always boils down to treating states like individuals.
For me, it would depend on what the "evidence" was that Iran was actually going to attack.
But I still don't see how a preemptive strike could be justified given that the justification would be made from "intelligence" gathered from the state itself. And–as the US has learned in Iraq–intelligence is often fabricated to drag a country into war for reasons beyond a strictly preemptive, "defensive" strike.
This is a healthy way of thinking because for sure 90% of people who feel they have a stake in justifying preemtive war are only looking for an excuse to launch aggressive wars.
Regardless, the principle itself is fine under strictly limited circumstances. Eg if Iraq on 15th March 2003 launched sabotage attacks that left US planes parked in Kuwait disabled, etc.
I don't think it is striking first if the bully's fist is already on its way.
The only two options would be ducking out of the way or you both punching each other simultaneously. (or third option: some type of judo or leg sweep). There is no way that example ends in only you punching.
I think preemptive on the playground is if you either beat up some person you don't like, or you beat them up based on rumors you're getting from other school chums. Your own schoolyard example is not a good analogy to striking Iran, or anyone else, based on intelligence gathering.
The proper analogy would be if we saw through the radar that a missile was coming from Iran. I don't think it is preemptive strike if the Iran sent a missile and we sent one in the air at them simultaneously. Or if we sent one to destroy the missile. Which, like the schoolyard, would be the only immediate reaction to that. (I'm not sure if there is a judo manuever for nuclear war). There is no way that ends in us striking and not them.
As far as I know, the Objectivists don't care about an actual attack. They just want total annihiliation of the Middle East. Because they find that part of the world backward and barbaric. And possibly dangerous, which they think is bad enough. They don't think we should wait for intelligence or any type of attack first. There is possibility that A-rabs or Persians will do something to us. So they want them dead. Some of them think is bad enough they don't like Israel, regardless of what they think of us. And that we should kill them for that. Maybe they like us but don't like Israel, but it is still the US's duty to kill them anyway.
But that's just my understanding from what I've read.
I think what he was trying to state is that if let's say for example, an nation (Country A) that's considered to be an enemy to another nation (country B) was making a nuclear weapon site (nukes to destroy Country B). Objectivists would argue that that Country B should pre-emptively attack Country A before the nuclear weapon hits Country B. In fact, they would argue that it would be mandatory in the moral sense for Country B to take out the nuke before it kills millions of Country B. But the libertarian stance would be to wait until the nuke is dropped and thousands of people of Country B is killed is when to take action (reactionary) because libertarians foreign policy is based on the notion of non-intervening or I don't hit you;you don't hit me.
What is the argument against Objectiivists on this case?
First you need to read Block, Murphy, Rothbard, Von Mises, and similar Austrian economists.
And ditch "Objectivism", it is too big government.
I hold Objectivism to be a scam. Just watch "Mozart was a Red" and you'll see how Rothbard knew it too.
Is it aggression to use violence to preempt aggression? No, in my opinion, provided that the person employing said preemptive violence reasonably believes that this use of violence is necessary to avoid becoming the victim of aggression. What counts as a "reasonable belief" in this context cannot, I think, be determined a priori, but only on a case by case basis.
If you're going to accept the existence of the State at all, I think this doctrine of self-defense is a reasonable basis for its foreign policy, provided you take "reasonable belief" in an extremely conservative sense: e.g. foreign warplanes enroute to the East Coast, as opposed to some tin-pot dictator on the other side of the globe talking about maybe kind of someday making a nuclear weapon.

The minute I laid eyes on the Queen Grace Collection sketches, almost 8 months ago, I knew it was something special. Then I had the pleasure of meeting the amazing woman behind the brand in New York City during Full Figure Fashion Week. Marina is such a genuine person. She's amazingly sweet too!
I told her I loved the "Grace" dress! It's that edgy LBD I've always needed. My eyes lit up when I saw her designs come down the Full Figure Fashion Week runway. A few weeks later, she sent me the "Grace" dress…my fashion dream come true. The dress comes in two different trims-synthetic leather and satin. I wore the satin-trimmed design at the L'Oreal Paris 40th Anniversary cocktail party in Beverly Hills.
This was one of those "fits like a glove," I even had the hubby help get me into it. LOL! It was the perfect dress for this night.

Tars Fall in Double-Overtime to Lenoir Rhyne
The game was a tale of two halves that saw the Tars control the first two periods, including a nine goal outburst in the opening 15 minutes. Rollins posted another two goals in the second period to head into the break with an 11-8 advantage over the bears. Lenoir-Rhyne started the game off slow, but found their stride outscoring the Tars by a three goal margin to knot things up at the end of 60 minutes.
Will Diamond, Jack Dever, Stephen DeFlumeri and Oliver Moore carried the offensive load for the Tars scoring 13 of the Tars 17 goals. James Libutti, Billy Pray and Michael Lupinacci tallied one goal apiece to round out the scoring. Diamond also handed out three assists to go with his scoring performance with Libutti garnering two helpers on the afternoon.
Peter Harvey, Taylor White,Lupinacci and Moore also provided setups on four of the Tars goals. Rollins fired off 47 shots on the afternoon with the Bears tallying 50 shots of their own. The Tars also took advantage of man-up opportunities with the Blue and Gold converting on 3-of-5 chances.
Andrew Sheering kept the Tars in a strong position the whole, registering five saves in the third period and racked up a total of 10 for the game.
Neither team could grab the decision through 60 minutes of regulation and would need extra time to find a winner.
Rollins controlled the first overtime period, cracking off four shots in the first four minute extra stanza and held the Bears to one shot in the period. Defensively, both teams tightened up and made adjustments for the second overtime period with shots coming more at a premium.
The Bears came out and took control of the second overtime period and fired off a shot that found the back of the net just 20 seconds in to seal the win for the Bears.
Rollins will finish up the regular season with Senior Day when they welcome Tampa to Winter park on Friday, April 6.

HOUSTON - A man has been accused of killing his girlfriend and her daughter in front of his 7-year-old son.
Curtis James Adams, 44, has been charged with capital murder in the deaths of Latasha Jones, 35, and her 13-year-old daughter.
Detectives said Jones and Adams got into a fight on Christmas Eve.
Investigators said Adams shot Jones and the teen at a home in the 7000 block of Jetty and then left with his son, who witnessed the killings.
Adams went to a relative's home in Missouri City and said some things that caused the relative to worry about Jones and her daughter, police said.
The relative called Jones and didn't reach her, so family members went to the home and found the bodies, investigators said.
While Adams was at the relative's home, he used a pistol to threaten a family member, officials said. Missouri City police were called out to the home and Adams was arrested on a charge of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. Police said they recovered that gun, but they have not said if that was the same gun used in the killings.

A UNIQUE project which could provide a massive tourism boost to Watchet, while also keeping Britain's naval history alive, is gaining momentum.
Restoration expert Paul Childs, along with his wife Rhian and sons Owen and Simon, is hoping to open a floating museum in the town featuring four of the country's most prized maritime possessions.
Mr Childs sold the family home to fund the restoration of Cold War ship HMS Gay Archer to its former glory.
Moored in Watchet, it has now been joined by antisubmarine boat Moonlight 27, the lead ship which took United States troops to Utah and Omaha beaches in Normandy during the D-Day landings in 1944, after son Owen bought it.
Along with Hyperion, which is already part of the Watchet scenery and carried King George VI in 1944, plus another boat to be confirmed, they will form Watchet War Ships Museum and the biggest collection of its kind in the world.
Following a successful trial in which visitors were able to board the Gay Archer this summer to see uniforms, photos and learn more about the boat through a guided tour and specially-produced pamphlet, funding needs to be found to make the museum a hit.
Mr Childs, from Bridgwater, said: "These are such prized possessions and now they are in the public domain, lots of people are taking an interest.
"The idea is that Watchet is going to be a focal point for all these special boats. It is all for the public but also a way of trying to safeguard our history – these boats are the last of their kind and are irreplaceable.
"This summer's trial went really well – we had holidaymakers from all over the world and they couldn't believe what they were seeing – it's mind blowing.
"They left some brilliant comments in our visitor book which makes me sure that the museum will put Watchet on the map.
"We definitely have the enthusiasm to take the project forward, now we need to look into getting funding to get the fourth boat to Watchet and get the museum up and running."
Anyone who would like to support the project can contact Paul via his website: www.p1041.org

History of April Fools' Day
History of April Fools' Day from Overstock.com. Our guides provide customers with information about the history of April Fools' Day.
This book is hilarious and real. Mindy isn't afraid to tell it like it is...
Mindy Kaling has lived many lives: the obedient child of immigrant professionals, a timid chubster afraid of her own bike, a Ben Affleckimpersonating Off-Broadway performer and playwright, and, finally, a comedy writer and actress prone to starting fights with her friends and coworkers with the sentence Can I just say one last thing about this, and then I swear Ill shut up about it?
Perhaps you want to know what Mindy thinks makes a great best friend (someone who will fill your prescription in the middle of the night), or what makes a great guy (one who is aware of all elderly people in any room at any time and acts accordingly), or what is the perfect amount of fame (so famous you can never get convicted of murder in a court of law), or how to maintain a trim figure (you will not find that information in these pages). If so, youve come to the right book, mostly!
In Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me?, Mindy invites readers on a tour of her life and her unscientific observations on romance, friendship, and Hollywood, with several conveniently placed stopping points for you to run errands and make phone calls. Mindy Kaling really is just a Girl Next Doornot so much literally anywhere in the continental United States, but definitely if you live in India or Sri Lanka.

|Congenital herpesviral (herpes simplex) infection
|Classification and external resources
|771.2, 054.xx
Neonatal herpes simplex is a rare but serious condition, usually caused by vertical transmission of herpes simplex virus from mother to newborn.
The majority of cases (85%) occur during birth when the baby comes in contact with infected genital secretions in the birth canal, most common with mothers that have newly been exposed to the virus (mothers that had the virus before pregnancy have a lower risk of transmission), an estimated 5% are infected in utero, and approximately 10% of cases are acquired postnatally. Detection and prevention is difficult because transmission is asymptomatic in 60% - 98%[1] of cases.
Neonatal herpes manifests itself in three forms: skin, eyes, and mouth herpes (SEM) sometimes referred to as "localized", disseminated herpes (DIS), and central nervous system herpes(CNS).[2]
- SEM herpes is characterized by external lesions but no internal organ involvement. Lesions are likely to appear on trauma sites such as the attachment site of fetal scalp electrodes, forceps or vacuum extractors that are used during delivery, in the margin of the eyes, the nasopharynx, and in areas associated with trauma or surgery (including circumcision).[3]
- DIS herpes affects internal organs, particularly the liver.
- CNS herpes is an infection of the nervous system and the brain that can lead to encephalitis. Infants with CNS herpes present with seizures, tremors, lethargy, and irritability, they feed poorly, have unstable temperatures, and their fontanelle (soft spot of the skull) may bulge.[4]
CNS herpes is associated with highest morbidity, and DIS herpes has a higher mortality rate. These categories are not mutually exclusive and there is often overlap of two or more types. SEM herpes has the best prognosis of the three, however, if left untreated it may progress to disseminated or CNS herpes with its attendant increases in mortality and morbidity.
Death from neonatal HSV disease in the U.S. is currently decreasing; The current death rate is about 25%, down from as high as 85% in untreated cases just a few decades ago. Other complications from neonatal herpes include prematurity with approximately 50% of cases having a gestation of 38 weeks or less, and a concurrent sepsis in approximately one quarter of cases that further clouds speedy diagnosis.
Reductions in morbidity and mortality are due to the use of antiviral treatments such as vidarabine and acyclovir.[2][5][6][7] However, morbidity and mortality still remain high due to diagnosis of DIS and CNS herpes coming too late for effective antiviral administration; early diagnosis is difficult in the 20-40% of infected neonates that have no visible lesions.[8] A recent large scale retrospective study found disseminated NHSV patients least likely to get timely treatment, contributing to the high morbidity/mortality in that group.[9]
Harrison's Principles of Internal Medicine, recommends that pregnant women with active genital herpes lesions at the time of labor be delivered by caesarean section. Women whose herpes is not active can be managed with acyclovir.[10] The current practice is to deliver women with primary or first episode non primary infection via caesarean section, and those with recurrrent infection vaginally, even in the presence of lesions because of the low risk (1-3%) of vertical transmission associated with recurrent herpes.
Risk factorsEdit
Among the maternal risk factors for Neonatal HSV-1: White non-Hispanic race,[11] young maternal age (<25), primary infection in third trimester[12] , first pregnancy, HSV (1&2) seronegative,[4][13] discordant partner,[14] gestation <38 weeks,[12] receptive oral sex in third trimester.[15]
Neonatal HSV-2 maternal risk factors: Black race,[16] young maternal age (<21),[4][12] discordant partner, primary or non primary first episode infection in third trimester,[17] four or more lifetime sexual partners,[16] lower level of education,[16] history of previous STD, history of pregnancy wastage, first viable pregnancy, gestation <38 weeks.[4][12]
Neonatal HSV rates in the U.S. are estimated to be between 1 in 3,000 and 1 in 20,000 live births. Approximately 22% of pregnant women in the U.S. have had previous exposure to HSV-2, and an additional 2% acquire the virus during pregnancy, mirroring the HSV-2 infection rate in the general population.[18] The risk of transmission to the newborn is 30-57% in cases where the mother acquired a primary infection in the third trimester of pregnancy. Risk of transmission by a mother with existing antibodies for both HSV-1 and HSV-2 has a much lower (1-3%) transmission rate. This in part is due to the transfer of significant titer of protective maternal antibodies to the fetus from about the seventh month of pregnancy.[4][19] However, shedding of HSV-1 from both primary genital infection and reactivations is associated with higher transmission from mother to infant.[4]
HSV-1 neonatal herpes is extremely rare in developing countries because development of HSV-1 specific antibodies usually occurs in childhood or adolescence, precluding a later genital HSV-1 infection. HSV-2 infections are much more common in these countries. In industrialized nations, the adolescent HSV-1 seroprevalance has been dropping steadily for the last 5 decades. The resulting increase in the number of young women becoming sexually active while HSV-1 seronegative has contributed to increased HSV-1 genital herpes rates, and as a result, increased HSV-1 neonatal herpes in developed nations. A recent three year study in Canada (2000–2003) revealed a neonatal HSV incidence of 5.9 per 100,000 live births and a case fatality rate of 15.5%. HSV-1 was the cause of 62.5% of cases of neonatal herpes of known type, and 98.3% of transmission was asymptomatic.[1] Asymptomatic genital HSV-1 has been shown to be more infectious to the neonate, and is more likely to produce neonatal herpes, than HSV-2,[4][20] However, with prompt application of antiviral therapy, the prognosis of neonatal HSV-1 infection is better than that for HSV-2.
Mortality and morbidityEdit
Mortality of neonatal herpes is very high (about 90%). Out of the 10% who recover, 50% face severe morbidity due adverse outcomes like cerebral palsy. Only the rest 50% i.e. 5% of the total affected are able to lead a normal life post recovery.

If this ever-changing world in which we live in ever makes you break down and cry, there's always a diverse array of exorbitant goodies you can buy to make yourself feel better. Today we have some mighty expensive bacon that is more suited for a California mountain in 1850 then a kitchen counter of the present. That's right. This bacon is covered in gold.
New York City's porky paradise Baconery has begun selling strips of bacon that are dipped in dark chocolate and then topped with 23k gold. Don't worry. It's still edible and, rumor has it, actually quite tasty. However, this brief foray into the good life will set you back a pretty penny. Just one strip of this big-ticket bacon costs $40. You can get a three-pack for around $100.

Wholesale Black - Tactical MICH-2000 Replica ABS Helmet
Wholesale Military Helmets, Covers, Straps
Helmets are protective gear to be worn over the head to prevent injuries. The history of helmets can be traced back to Ancient Greece where it was worn by Greek soldiers. Today helmets are worn in most sports and in the military to help protect from injuries. Originally helmets were constructed from leather but then from bronze and iron during the bronze and iron ages. Today military helmets are manufactured by ballistic materials such as Kevlar, which can withstand bullet and fragment power. Helmets are essential to safety and should be worn in sports that require helmets and in military combat. A popular sun blocking helmet that we offer is the pith helmet (also known as the safari helmet, sun helmet, topee, sola topee, salacot or topi) made popular by westerners both men and women, old and young, worn in the tropics during the 19th and 20th century. The pith helmet became re-popularized during active use during the Vietnam war. Military Helmets are also known as United States Army and Navy Kevlar Tactical gears, safari combat ballistics supplies, pith biker supplies and hats, etc. Military Helmets are commonly misspelled as kevlar mitch attire, etc.
Military helmets are often worn with a removable cotton-polyester helmet cover, which allows the user to change the pattern of the camouflage. Helmet covers also help prevent general wear and tear that helmets endure over time. We have a large selection of helmet covers for Mich helmets and US Kevlar helmets. We also offer extras for helmets such as the military cat eye helmet band. Cat eye bands fits current issue helmets and are reflective bands that work great in dark situations. They are a great accessory if you plan on riding your bike, rollerblades, and skateboard at night. Our military helmet covers are intended for both military personnel and civilian wear and makes a great cover for you own helmet or for a gift idea.

Follow the Sourdough - Day 2: Feeding the Starter
I will show you my starter when it's ready, but since this can happen anytime between 2 and 7 days, you need to know what to look for. Sometime between now and never, your mixture will start developing lots of little bubbles, and start giving off a somewhat pleasant sour or beer-ish smell. The starter may also develop a thin bubbly froth on the surface that will return even after you stir it in. The photo here is my starter on day 3. It's getting close, but I'm going to feed it again, and decide tomorrow if it is ready.
The timing of this whole process depends on the batch of flour you're using, the temperature (75 degrees is ideal, but most of us are cooler than that), and the amount of wild yeast present (they really mean it here in San Francisco, when they say, "there must be something in the air."). So, keep repeating the steps you see in today's video until you think your starter is ready. I will post updates on my starter as things develop. Stay tuned!
Note: if your starter gets a strong, spoiled odor, toss it out and start over. You may have something else growing besides wild yeast. If nothing happens after a week, then you should also start over with another type of flour. Many people add some wheat or rye to the first starter since it has more yeast in it. But, I just didn't want you to buy a whole bag of flour for nothing, and we are going to use the unbleached bread flour to make the final loaves.

you watch a lot of reality tv, dont you? ;)
- March 8, 2008 at 5:19 PM
Instead of tossing half of it, could you just divide it in half and do the same thing to both halves, and begin making exponentially large amounts of sourdough?
- March 8, 2008 at 6:47 PM
- Chef John said...
sure, but eventually you would have to move out.
- March 8, 2008 at 6:53 PM
I don't come from a place where people eat bread as a staple, and wow at the making of a sourdough bread, it really is complicated!

This morning it was all bubbly like yours and is starting to develop a smell like a wine smell or smelly socks, I am not sure.
- March 9, 2008 at 11:26 AM
- Chef John said...
yes, that's perfect. i would feed it and it probably will be done tomorrow
- March 9, 2008 at 11:51 AM
um hey, im just trying out this recipie, and i have a question... is it common to have clumps of sticky, stretchy, yellowish goo sticking to the whisk, when your mixing?
- August 13, 2008 at 12:26 AM
- Chef John said...
yellow? not usually yellow. the other things can happen. Does it smell like sourdough, or rancid?
- August 13, 2008 at 1:20 AM
- deepthi said...
Hi! Thanks for the recipe!!! one question though... is there any particular reason why you throw half of the starter away?
- June 8, 2009 at 7:17 PM
- Chef John said...
youre growing the yeast, so you need fresh flour and water to replace half
- June 8, 2009 at 7:41 PM
- Swanky Mommy said...
Is it a bad sign if there's not always the thin watery layer on top of the starter? I woke up for day three and there were some bubbles, but no water--it's a little thicker.
- June 26, 2009 at 12:46 PM
- Chef John said...
no, they are all different, the bubbles are the important part. Keep feeding.
- June 26, 2009 at 12:57 PM
- Calandrino said...
after the second day of feeding, my starter turned into a gelatinous blob that smelled like corn ... i'm not in SF so probably not the right kind of bacteria/yeast here, but maybe this is just a hostile environment?
- September 12, 2009 at 2:26 PM
- Calandrino said...
I'm not sure if I should keep going or abandon my starter. As Henry experienced, I've got these clumps of sticky, stretchy goo (not yellow). You said that could happen. When it does, toss? Keep feeding? Make sponge? Skip sponge and make bread? Also the flour I'm using is Gold Medal "Better for Bread" unbleached, unbromated, enriched flour. Anything wrong that?
- September 13, 2009 at 7:02 PM
- Tarko1989 said...
if it doesn't seem like there's enough yeast in the air in my house, can I add some dry active yeast to the starter?
- March 12, 2010 at 7:47 PM
- Chef John said...
Yes! add a small pinch
- March 12, 2010 at 8:09 PM
- { uMy } said...
i've started mine.it's the 2nd day and its all bubbly at top, watery in the middle and a bit gooey at the bottom.when i mixed to feed it, somehow it didn't thicken as your though it just run through.is that a bad thing?should i start a new one?it smell pretty sour as rancid food usually did.
- May 24, 2010 at 1:06 PM
My kitchen smells like death and dog poo. Should I toss and start over?
- July 14, 2011 at 2:54 PM
My sourdough truly smells rancid, do I have to start over ;__;? Even though I consider the sourdough starter my child (I named it Louis as a chef says it's bad luck not to name your sourdough), I can't stand the smell coming from it.
- April 16, 2012 at 6:59 AM
- Chef John said...
Should smell fermented not rancid! I'd throw away.
- April 16, 2012 at 11:16 AM

I can't seem to find the video for day #3....am I missing something?

Nothing happens on day 3! :)
- May 8, 2013 at 12:38 PM
- Jessica Rondeau said...
Good morning Chef!
I am on day 3 of the sourdough starter, I will not be feeding it more until later in the day. When I stirred it up a little while ago there was lots of bubbles and fairly thick. It smells like curdled milk with the sharpness of a brewery?
So as many other people have already asked, am I on the right track? I am in Alberta, Canada, it has been humid here the last few days and about 28C I guess that's about 82F. Thanks! :-D
- August 13, 2014 at 12:01 PM
- Chef John said...
Sounds right to me! :)
- August 13, 2014 at 12:03 PM
- Jessica Rondeau said...
Thanks so much!
Would you say it's about ready to use or should I give it a couple more feedings?
Thanks again for your help ;-)
- August 13, 2014 at 12:31 PM
- Chef John said...
Hard to say, but go for it.

HOUSTON - A sheriff's deputy fatally shot a man who, they said, was threatening to harm his parents.
Harris County sheriff's deputies said the deputy responded to a domestic disturbance at a home on Easton Park Drive and Forest Trails Drive in northwest Harris County about 10:30 p.m. on Sunday. Investigators said Troy Robertson, 21, was threatening his parents with a rifle at the home.
Investigators said Robertson and his parents fought with him over a shotgun.
"Before deputies arrived, the male exited the home, armed with a rifle, and was in the neighborhood," Deputy Thomas Gilliland said.
Deputies searched the area and found him hiding in the back yard behind the air conditioning units.
Investigators said Deputy C. Cooke told Robertson to drop his gun and come out, but he stood up and pointed the rifle at Cooke. Cooke fired one shot, wounding Robertson, detectives said.
Robertson was taken to North Cypress Hospital, where he died.
"His parents loved him very much and he had been troubled for some time," neighbor Fred Billings said. "They were a very sweet family and they had trouble with their son on more than one occasion."
The parents declined to comment about the situation.
Cooke is a 10-year veteran of the Harris County Sheriff's Office.

More than one-third (35 percent) of the nation is in severe or worse drought, and as April's spotty showers bring hope to some, others are left high and dry.
Thursday's Drought Monitor report showed that though the central Plains continue to be plagued by the relentless drought, it's also now spreading to the western half of the country, including Colorado, Wyoming, and New Mexico.
Forty-six percent of Colorado is in extreme to exceptional drought, unchanged from last week. Denver-based 7News reports that Colorado farmers are holding back on planting because of the extreme drought conditions. Read more.
In the nation's midsection, where recent cold conditions and some rain showers have helped ease drought conditions, the intense drought remains.
Though Kansas and South Dakota reported no change from last week's report, Nebraska again showed a slight improvement.
The Drought Monitor reported 75.72 percent of the Cornhusker State in exceptional drought, marking a move in the right direction.
Texas and Oklahoma are also battling the drought, though late-week rains may help ease some of the dryness. Currently, 12 percent of Texas and 10 percent of Oklahoma are in exceptional drought.
See how your state is doing here.
There is some good news on the horizon: the Climate Prediction Center expects the drought to ease substantially in most of the central and northern Plains by the end of July. However, for those further south and west, the drought will continue to persist.

From Ian Altman:
How I Selected NFTE as the beneficiary:
I had the pleasure of participating this past year in 50 for NFTE - where 50 entrepreneurs visited schools for a week. The experience demonstrated how valuable NFTE is for our developing youth. I can think of no other organization more deserving of proceeds from a business book. The NFTE students discovered that they had to focus on areas where potential customers would see a gap or need. Upside-Down Selling illustrates that same principle in sophisticated, business to business sales and business development.
Why Did I Write Upside Down Selling?
Upside-Down Selling principles have had a dramatic impact for businesses across industries. In writing the book, I wanted to provide a concise, step-by-step guide to illustrate how to deliver an integrity-based sales approach to growing business. People often laugh at integrity and sales in the same sentence. Upside-Down Selling makes that all possible. It helps firms identify, guide, and direct individuals who can lead to extraordinary growth. The bonus chapter profiles a company that followed the exact steps of Upside-Down Selling and more than doubled their growth rate from 11% to more than 30% in just six months.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 28/7/2012 (1851 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Fringe performers who come to stay in Winnipeg for two weeks form certain impressions of River City -- from complimentary to downright embarrassing.
"People cut you off here!" says Jon Deline, a shocked San Francisco clown from The Good, the Bad and the Stupid show. "In San Francisco, people have been shot with a gun for cutting somebody off on the freeway." He's noticed we're not much interested in using turn signals, either. Deline's troop of five drives a big honkin' 1994 GMC Suburban -- "basically a big SUV." (Talk about a big target.)
But the people his troupe meets at the Fringe make up for it, says Deline -- like Maggie, the St. Vital woman who's boarding Deline and the troop of four entertainers in her home. "She's even giving us stuff out of her garden and offered us her broom when ours broke in the show." Plus, audiences are very responsive in Winnipeg, he says. "They're really a joy."
Shelby Bond, a Hollywood standup comedian who's opened for Sarah Silverman, has been to the Fringe in Winnipeg nine times. He's the guy hanging around Old Market Square who looks like Huck Finn and does The Poor Man's Guide to Being Rich. "I've been staying in The Roslyn in Osborne Village, walking and biking, and I've been harassed three times by the bridge and even chased."
(OK. That's embarrassing. This is an honoured guest in our city. My personal friend Miss Lonelyhearts says: "Whoever's doing that, stop it RIGHT NOW!")
Luckily, it hasn't kept Bond away from the Winnipeg festival. In fact, he came a few days early.
"I love being down here and watching the district open up in the mornings, and I really like all the old buildings here and the brick. We don't have brick in Hollywood because of the earthquakes."
The fit Californian says he's been out for eats in the city and digs the brand new Boon Burger in the east Exchange District and he enjoys grocery shopping at Mondragon, as he's a health-food enthusiast.
"Oh, I find people are very friendly here," says Bostonian Cameryn Moore of fringe show Power Play. "Although some of them look away, trying to pretend they're too sophisticated to notice I'm wearing a tutu, fishnets and cowboy boots." And Moore's rarely separated from her big red umbrella.
She fits right in with our driving style in the Wild West. In fact, Moore drove herself here from Boston in her bashed-in '91 Toyota Corolla. It has two big dents where a deer hit the car, so she police-taped the shape of a deer on one dent and has The Deerinator written on the other. It tends to attract attention around town. But she's staying in the North End, known by Winnipeggers to be a tough neighbourhood where a lot of macho trucks have flame decals shooting down their sides, so the Deerinator is barely getting a sideways glance there.
Angus and Matilda are the Circus Firemen buskers from Melbourne, Australia, who pretend to be brothers onstage. Could it be because they do acrobatics where they are upside down staring at each other's crotches? "Well yes, that's precisely the reason!" says Angus.
Matilda, whose real name is Idris, nods sagely. "Idris!" says Angus, "now there's a name to get you beat up at school!"
The duo are on the road five to six months a year doing festivals as well as cruise-ship contracts. They have seen half the world, so they're pretty blasé.
"A city is a city. You could be anywhere in the world downtown here," says Matilda, looking across King Street. But something did impress them. The 20-somethings went to a midnight screening of The Dark Knight Rises and marvelled at Canada's giant popcorn boxes. "And we thought ours were big back home!"
On the serious side, the guys admit to Winnipeg's Exchange and downtown being a bit scary when it's very late at night and take taxis instead of the bus to go home to their billet near Portage Avenue and Arlington Street.
As for Winnipeg audiences: "They're remarkably similar to Australians -- similar cultures, both colonized by the British, with the same sense of humour -- but we have accents so people are more courteous and willing to give us the time of day."

We all want the library to be a safe environment for children. In order to make this happen we have established the following sets of criteria for keeping children safe both physically and online.
In order to provide a welcoming environment conducive to library use:
The Tippecanoe County Public Library reserves the right to limit stays by unattended minors. Child Protective Services will be contacted in cases of unsupervised children.

These are the rules we use with everyone who uses the Internet in the Youth Department. We encourage families to create their own set of rules for using the Internet at home. I agree to follow these rules when using Youth Internet Computers.

Uzbek numbers 1-10: bir, ikki, uch, to'rt, besh, olti, yetti, sakkiz, to'qqiz, o'n.
My conclusion: it looks like the numbers of this Uyghur pidgin are of Turkic origin; none of them appear to come from Chinese.
Indeed, this pidgin did not adopt the chinese numbers (at least, not to my knowledge) but, it did adopt the chinese counting-system: the numbers from 11~19, the way they are constructed is same for turkic and chinese languages but, the numbers from 20~99 in this pidgin are immediate signs of chinese counting-system...instead having different words for 20 and 30 so on, the pidgin has şikkiwen for 20 and içuwen for 30 so on.

I somehow lump all Turkish languages together (soft of like Scandinavian languages, but truly, how close are they? I'd like this answered by a native or someone who is very familiar with the family. Can an Uzbek read aTurkish newspaper?? Can a Kazakh understand a Turkish conversation? I'üe met quite a few Turks who say those languages are like Chinese to them, but I always sensed a tone of derision and they may not have been completely truthful (for political reasons probably)
I dare to state those turks lied because, once when I spoken in Uyghur without loan-words to a Turkish individual, he understood perfectly but insisted that I was speaking pure turkish with an odd accent and not Uyghur (and he would say the same for most turkic languages in the world).
