Did 'Sex and the City' endanger pubic lice?
Apparently "Sex and the City" didn't just make life intolerable for New Yorkers, who for the past decade have been overwhelmed by cupcake-bloated tourists, but it's also possibly ruined life for pubic lice. At least, that is, according to an article from British Association of Dermatologists, the extinction of pubic lice can be traced to an episode of "Sex and the City," which popularized pubic hair removal.
Says Dr. Kun Sen Chen, one of the authors of the research:
"In popularising [sic] hair removal, Carrie Bradshaw and co have contributed to ridding humanity of a pest that had plagued humans for millions of years. Sadly there isn't an Emmy for that."
Which is more than a little specious. It could be that these scientists have finally mastered the fine art of using a pop culture phenomenon to boost clicks on articles that would otherwise be ignored, just like I'm doing with this article right now. But also, I'm pretty sure of all the things that have contributed to people painfully removing all of their pubic hair to achieve that somewhat-creepy prepubescent smoothness — at least here in America — pornography is to blame. People have been watching porn actors' and actresses' bare genitals rub together long before "Sex and the City" was even on the air. Then again, I'm not a scientist.
Though perhaps I'm underestimating the popularity of a single dumb episode of TV show that set feminism back a few decades and that only idiots enjoyed.

Shamrock'n since 2014
Running is my "me" time. It fills my soul with joy and keeps my body feeling alive and well.
Half marathons are the perfect challenge, mentally and physically. Shamrock'n is especially fun because you get to celebrate your accomplishment with St. Patrick's Day brews after!
My favorite aspect of the race is the atmosphere. Everyone gets really into it by dressing up and having a good time. The live bands are also a lot of fun, especially when you run past them and they are playing an old favorite song. It is also wonderful to run through our beautiful city of trees.
I hope to see you at the 2016 Shamrock'n!

OS: Windows XP Pro SP2
System: Mine that I built
First of all let me get this out of the way. I know my way around a desktop computer very well. I have built them, repaired them, etc. I am very good at troubleshooting software and hardware, I have been doing this many years for a living. I have not used spyware protection or an anti-virus for 2-3 years on my main PC and up until last night I have only gotten very minor annoyances, nothing major, been using the same install of windows for about 2 years now. I have Windows highly tweaked with very few services/processes running, only 15 on startup (yes, only 15). Don't try and lecture me on running windows with such minimal resources and processes, EVERYTHING works just fine, and I like it this way, Windows is extremely bloated on a fresh install.
So I was on the net last night surfing a few websites and downloaded a few small programs to help a friend out with something because he doesn't have an internet connection right now. After I was done I noticed explorer.exe was crashing. I could restart it from the task manager but it would just instantly crash again even if I didn't do anything else. Normally I just go to safe mode, run a few utilities and everything is fine. Well, even in safe mode explorer.exe is closing, also without errors.
I can still run programs via the task manager's start > run option. I have tried using these so far, fully updated:
Lavasoft Ad-aware Remover
Swat It
AVG Anti-Spyware
Did not notice any unrecognizable processes in task manager
Nothing out of the ordinary in the windows startup, just the 2-3 usual things I have seen in there for almost 2 years
I am very familiar with hijackthis, when I do a scan I get about 8-9 objects in the list, all of which I recognize and know what they are. I do not see any unrecognized processes in task manager, everything looks fine there. I do not see anything abnormal in the startup when I use msconfig or go to the startup area in regedit.
It is interesting to note that if I run the command "sfc /scannow" with the XP SP2 CD in it will scan for any altered files and finish fine. Whenever I reboot after doing this I get a BSOD. To get back in to windows I have to go to the startup menu and choose "last known good configuration". Everything goes back to the same after that with explorer.exe closing everytime I try to start it. Because of this I am not even 100% sure it is spyware or a virus, maybe explorer.exe is just damaged. I highly doubt this though.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Explorer.exe closes without errors

Hello Friends,
I've had this for years, wondered where it might be.
It's actually a bottle,( see cork stopper )
I haven't been able to decipher the maker's mark, but I believe it's German.
Do you suppose it's a German landmark?
Sorry I'm often coming here with questions.
Best Fall to All!

Woman fatally struck on I-35 ID'd
Published 5:38 pm, Tuesday, June 17, 2014
SAN ANTONIO — The Bexar County Medical Examiner's Office has identified the woman fatally hit by a car Monday on Interstate 35 as Amber Garza, 27.
Garza was driving a Pontiac G6 southbound on Interstate 35 just after midnight in the 4800 block of the highway on the Northeast Side. Police said Garza could have been under the influence of alcohol when she hit the guardrail on the right side of the road.
The car became disabled and Garza argued with a passenger about the crash, according to police. Garza grabbed her purse, got out of the car and began to walk across the highway, police said. She was hit by a black Chevrolet Malibu headed south, police said.
News Channel
Garza flew into the Malibu's front windshield before landing in the highway's main lanes, according to police. The Malibu's driver took the next exit off the highway and stopped, police said.
Garza was pronounced dead at the scene.
The Malibu's driver was not impaired and no criminal charges are pending, police said.

Time Limits for Seeking Child Support
Locate a Local Family Lawyer
All parents are responsible for supporting their children until the age of majority (from 16 to 19, usually 18, depending on the state), whether or not the child lives with them. Although it is crime for parents willfully to fail to support their children, states usually stay out of the family nucleus until after a dissolution or divorce has occurred.
The first step in obtaining child support is to locate the parent and establish paternity. Paternity of the non-supporting parent can be made anytime before the child reaches 18, but usually must be established by then. The state's child support enforcement system can step in, even if the parents were never married, to force a parent (usually the father since the mother delivers the baby at a hospital, resulting in records) to take a paternity DNA test based on a reasonable claim.
Paternity is also established under the Uniform Parentage Act of 2000, which holds that a child born in marriage or 300 days after a divorce is the child of the birthmother and husband. Fatherhood can also be established when a man signs the birth certificate or other paternity document.
In many states, if paternity is not established by age 18, then no child support is due. In some states, such as California, however, there is no statute of limitations on establishing paternity and no statute of limitations on bringing a child support action. Courts can also award child support back-pay which the parent should have paid if she or he could have afforded it at the time. Once a court order for child support is obtained, parents usually have from 10 years to life, depending on state, to enforce it.
In summary, if a baby was born out of wedlock, and no child support judgment was obtained for 15 years, there is still the possibility of obtaining child support for future and past expenses. If the father made a fortune in a foreign country, for example, the goal would be to find him somewhere in the United States, and bring him in for a DNA test based on the mother's reasonable testimony and proof.

July 1914: Countdown to War
Christopher Clark writes:
The European continent was at peace on the morning of Sunday, 28 June 1914, when Archduke Franz Ferdinand, the Austrian heir to the throne, and his wife, Sophie Chotek, arrived at Sarajevo railway station. Thirty-seven days later, it was at war. In its complexity and the speed with which it escalated, the 'July Crisis' of 1914 is without parallel in world history. Franz Ferdinand and his wife were assassinated that morning in Sarajevo by Bosnian Serb students acting for a shadowy Belgrade-based ultranationalist network. The Austrian government in Vienna resolved to serve an ultimatum on its Serbian neighbour. Berlin promised support for Austria on 5 July. Encouraged by Paris, Russia opted to defend its Serbian client by mobilising against Austria and Germany. Unsatisfied by the Serbian reply to its ultimatum, Austria declared war on Serbia. Germany mobilised against France and Russia. France asked London for help. On 4 August 1914, following the German breach of Belgian neutrality, Britain entered the war.

Uncle Mortimer & Aunt Agatha
|Minnie Mouse (Mortimer's niece); Mickey Mouse (Agatha's nephew); Morty & Ferdie (grandnephews); Madeline Mouse (cousin).
|Hoppy the Kangaroo.
|Minnie Mouse; Mickey Mouse; Morty & Ferdie Fieldmouse; Madeline Mouse.
|Sylvester Shyster, Bad Pete.
|1st PRINT APPEARANCE:
|Uncle Mortimer in "Mickey Mouse" daily strip serial: "Mickey Mouse in Death Valley" (Apr. 1, 1930); Aunt Agatha in the daily strip serial "Mickey Mouse in Love Trouble" (Apr. 14, 1941).
|1st FILM APPEARANCE:
|Unlike Donald Duck, a very small number of relatives belonging to the Mouse Family have ever appeared more than once. Among the few exceptions are the "Twins" Morty & Ferdie (sons of Mickey's sister Felicity Fieldmouse), Minnie Mouse's inconsistently named nieces, Millie & Melody, Mickey's Aunt Agatha, and Minnie's wealthy Uncle Mortimer. While one story may relate that the relative is specific to Mickey or Minnie, subsequent stories tend to blur that line (especially those by Paul Murry who was rarely ever consistent in his portrayals of Mickey's relatives). Morty & Ferdie, in some stories, seem to be Minnie's blood-relatives, and she is depicted as their caregiver rather than Mickey. When Grandpa Mouse appears he is both Minnie's and Mickey's grandfather. The same is true of Aunt Agatha. Most stories involving Uncle Mortimer continue the tradition that he is specifically Minnie's uncle, though he treats Mickey as family. Uncle Mortimer is a cattle rancher and possibly a widower. In his introductory tale he supposedly had died and willed his ranch to his niece, Minnie. Sylvester Shyster was Mortimer's lawyer, and executor of his estate. Shyster had tried to cheat Minnie out of her inheritance, but with Mickey Mouse's and a mysterious cloaked figure's help Shyster's plot was uncovered. The mysterious stranger turned out to be none other than Mortimer who was testing Shyster in order to confirm his fears about him being a crooked lawyer. Uncle Mortimer appeared many more times over the years. Once he sent a kangaroo named Hoppy to Minnie. Uncle Mortimer's physical appearance has changed since his initial introduction where he looked very similar to Mickey, though possessing a moustache. Later he was depicted as much older, taller and heavier, loosing his moustache and gaining two distinguishing tufts of white fur posing as sidedeburns.
Aunt Agatha - Mickey's aunt has appeared in at least four stories (perhaps more?). Whether these "Aunt Agathas" are actually all the same character is a matter of speculation. In the first tale (of which I am aware) she makes a brief appearance in the classic "Mickey Mouse in Love Trouble" (reprinted in "WDC&S" #36-39, Sep. - Dec. 1943, and "Mickey Mouse Birthday Party" #1, Sep. 1953). Here she is being visited by another relative, Mickey's sweet-natured, and very refined cousin Madeline Mouse (a.k.a. Millicent van Giltmouse: playing the role of "City Mouse" to Mickey's "Country Mouse") who helped Mickey when he wanted to win back his ladylove from the notorious Montmorency Rodent (Mortimer Mouse). It is apparent that, like Mickey's sister Amelia, Aunt Agatha is much taller than Mickey and much heavier, however her coloration is a brownish-gray. Her second appearance is in perhaps the "Pluto" story called "Uninvited Guest" from Dell's "Four Color: Stormy, the Thoroughbred" #537 (Feb. 1954) where she has black fur like Mickey with a Grandma-type mop of white hair on top. She's about 1-1/2 times Mickey's height, wears glasses, and has a long, skinny nose. Her next appearance (to the best of my knowledge) is in "Mickey Mouse" #99 (Feb. 1965) in "Dogs Will be Dogs" where Pluto is having some behavioral problems so Mickey seeks out his eccentric Aunt Agatha, who happens to be a "World Famous Lady Animal Trainer," for help. Again she is much taller than Mickey and also much heavier, though now her coloration is similar to Mickey's (black ears, white face), though she does have a mop of brown hair under her Safari hat. Her last known appearance is in the story "WDC&S" #415 (Apr. 1975) in "To the Point" where, this time, she is said to be Minnie's aunt who has come to visit her and the twins, Morty & Ferdie, who also call her "Aunt Agatha" (there being no distinction made by the fact that they are actually Mickey's nephews). In this tale she looks very much like an older version of Minnie (once more wearing spectacles), and since there is only one picture of Aunt Agatha, with her sitting, it is unclear how tall she actually is compared to Minnie (though she is definitely taller than the Twins). How, or even if, Uncle Mortimer and Aunt Agatha might be related is unclear.
|There have been four prominent characters known as "Mortimer Mouse." First, Mickey Mouse's original name was "Mortimer Mouse" until Walt Disney's wife Lillian convinced him to change it to the friendlier "Mickey." Second, there was the arrogant "Mortimer Mouse" who was a former beau of Minnie's from a time before Mickey. Called "Mickey's Rival" in both the animated short (June 20, 1936) and in the Gottfredson serial (Jan. 5, 1936), he was later identified with another similarly arrogant former beau of Minnie's called "Montmorency Rodent." And aside form Minnie's Uncle Mortimer, there is Mickey's nephew, Morty, whose full name is also "Mortimer Mouse" (a.k.a. Mortimer Fieldmouse).

Bernanke encourages market
NEW YORK — Some soothing words from Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke pushed the stock market to slender gains on Wednesday. Higher earnings for several major companies also helped.
Bernanke said that the central bank has no firm timetable for cutting back on its bond purchases.
The Fed would consider reducing its stimulus program if the economy improves, but Bernanke emphasized in his testimony to Congress that the reductions were "by no means on a preset course."
The concern has been that "the Fed was going to dial the (stimulus) down to zero regardless how the economy was doing," said Phil Orlando, chief market strategist at Federated Investors. "I don't think that's the case at all ... the Fed is going to evaluate the economic landscape," before it cuts its stimulus, Orlando said.
The Standard & Poor's 500 index climbed 4.65 points, or 0.3 percent, to 1,680.91. The Nasdaq composite rose 11.50 points, or 0.3 percent, to 3,610.
The Dow Jones industrial average rose 18.67 points, or 0.1 percent, to 15,470.52.
The Dow was held back by American Express and Caterpillar. The credit card company's stock slumped $1.47, or 1.9 percent, to $76.80 after European regulators proposed to cap the lucrative processing fees the card company imposes.
Caterpillar fell $1.50, or 1.7 percent, to $86.67 when prominent short-seller Jim Chanos said he was shorting the stock because it was exposed to a slump in the mining industry. Chanos said Caterpillar was "tied to the wrong products at the wrong time."
Bernanke's comments had a stronger impact on the Treasury market than on the stock market.
The yield on the 10-year Treasury note fell to 2.49 percent from 2.53 percent late Tuesday as investors bought U.S. government bonds.
The yield has been declining since July 5, when it surged to 2.74 percent after the government reported that hiring was strong in June.

Making Marks, Student Work
Friday, September 16, 2016
Olivia Junghans, Student Work
For this project I was inspired by the history of St. Augustine and how over time even the rocks can be broken and disintegrate. I was inspired by a video of a man practicing the art of rock balancing.
I decided it was fitting, how precarious some of the older St. Augustine houses sit. They seem to balance on the coquina and wood that is some 400 years old giving me the idea to create an ephemeral representation of the houses I walk by ever day.
* Not shortly after, through rain and wind, my piece was knocked down, further proving my stance.
For this next piece I was interested in light and how water reflects light. I decided to go out at night when the lights would be most visible and cause movements in the water to see what would happen to the light. I would wait and let the ripples/ energy calm before I made my next movement to stay true to the ephemeral aspect of the project.
I decided on the name Conductor as water is a low conductor of electricity, but I also felt like I was conducting a visual rhythm through the water.
Materials used were artificial lights in the environment and my body.
Mary Beth Hietapelto, Student Work
My inspiration for this drawing was scopophobia, the fear of being watched. I always suspect that someone can see inside my large well lit windows at night. I was hoping to have more lit windows in my photos, but once I started experimenting and using flash, my neighbors scopophobia must have kicked in because everyone turned off the lights and drew the blinds.
I chose this location because of the length of the boardwalk. I used sticks to mirror the linear element that originally attracted me to this landscape. My goal was to have the sunrise cast long shadows down the boardwalk, but the last two days were too overcast.
Cynthia Rountree, Student Work
This mark was inspired by the little detail in the architecture of the back of Ponce De Leon Hotel. The bricks around the concrete formed the shape of a cross. With that idea I decided to instead of make the shape from the outside, I'd fill in the shape using the materials from around the gate itself. The cross was made using mostly sticks found, while also using some branches, leaves, and Spanish moss to re-create the darker tones that appeared in the concrete.

United Airlines removed from World Trade Center case
United Airlines cannot be held responsible for the terrorist hijacking on Sept. 11, 2001, that destroyed a building in the World Trade Center complex, a federal judge ruled on Wednesday.
The owner of 7 World Trade Center, a building that stood next to the Twin Towers, sued United and American Airlines by arguing that the building was destroyed because of the airlines' negligence.
But U.S. District Judge Alvin Hellerstein ruled that United bears "no responsibility for Tower 7's destruction" because it wasn't responsible for the hijacking of American Flight 11 or its hitting the Trade Center.
United had no comment on the ruling.
The hijackers, Mohamed Atta and Abdul Aziz, passed through security in Portland, Maine, which was the responsibility of Delta Air Lines, before they transferred to the American flight in Boston, according to Hellerstein. American was responsible for the Boston checkpoint, Hellerstein wrote.
Flight 11 crashed into 1 World Trade Center, which spewed flaming debris that pierced Tower 7, where fires burned until the building collapsed, Hellerstein wrote.
"It was not within United's range of apprehension that terrorists would slip through the (Portland) security screening checkpoint, fly to Logan, proceed through another air carrier's security screening and board that carrier's flight, hijack the flight and crash it into 1 World Trade Center, let alone that 1 World Trade Center would therefore collapse and cause Tower 7 to collapse," Hellerstein wrote in his 11-page ruling.
Several cases linger from the fateful day when four planes were hijacked and flown into each of the Twin Towers in New York, the Pentagon in Arlington, Va., and into a field in Shanksville.
Larry Silverstein, the World Trade Center leaseholder, was seeking $8.4 billion for the loss of business. But Hellerstein has limited the amount to the $2.8 billion that Silverstein paid for the leases.
Bud Perrone, a spokesman for Silverstein Properties, expressed disappointment with the ruling but said he looked forward to their prospects in a different lawsuit against United that alleges security lapses that led the terrorists to hijack United Flight 175.

Setting Kindle-for-ipad so visually impaired people can read it
Hello all,
I am legally blind, and can't quite read the kindle-for-ipad text when it is set to its largest font size. In order to make the text large enough for me, I have to additionally zoom the ipad screen by double tapping with three fingers. However, this means that some of the kindle text expands out of sight, forcing me to scroll the page left and right and up and down just to read all the text on one page, which isn't desirable. So what I'm wondering is if any of you know whether or not the kindle-for-ipad app can be set so that it doesn't open into full screen mode but rather only takes up some of the ipad screen when opened, as it does for instance when opening Kindle-for-PC on a PC. That way, you see, the text in the kindle app will only occupy a small area of the ipad screen, meaning that when I zoom the screen, the kindle text won't immediately expand beyond the frame of the ipad; it will all be visible (unless I keep zooming), thereby allowing me to see an entire page of text in one view without having to scroll, at a font size I can now read.
Interestingly, the ibooks app on ipads allows me to enlarge font to a greater size than in the Kindle app, to the point where I don't need to zoom the screen in order to get the text large enough. However, I am unable to purchase any of the ibooks titles in my country (I can only download the free titles). Rather frustrating.
Optionally, if I am unable to open the kindle app in a semi-minimized mode, does anyone know how significantly I am able to increase the margin size on a kindle page? If the increase is significant enough, it may reduce the area of text on a page to a degree where I can zoom the screen without causing the text to expand passed the ipad frame, thus eliminating the need to scroll.
I haven't purchased an ipad yet; I've only been able to sample one at a store. But it's awkward doing that, which is why I've resorted to asking questions in here. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. I hope I have expressed my dilemma clearly.

LM3886 power supply suggestions?
Looking for recommendations on what specs I will want in a power supply based on the following criteria.
I'm hoping to go 60 volts DC but am unsure how much wattage output I should be looking for. The data sheet says 125 watts draw @60 volts which seems low to me because I also came up with the figure that the gaincard will be outputting 144 watts RMS into 4 ohms with 60 volts DC. I do most things by guestimation as I'm too lazy to go through the math and like to run with my ideas.
That's also because I'm not in the habit of building projects where I have to worry so much about said elements.
All input will be greatly appreciated.

125W and 60V are beyond the point of destruction. The numbers given on the title page of the datasheet are ratings the device can barely survive.
The datasheet states 20V - 94V as the supply range. That's +-10V to +-47V. Considering your 60V as +-30V, the datasheet gives a nominal 75W peak on page 10. Even for +-47V it would just be above 100W peak (limited for survival).
If you want to estimate total power consumption including dissipated power and output power, consult the 'Power Dissipation vs. Output Power' graphs on page 11. A summed maximum is in the order of 150W total (again, limited for survival).
You don't need to prepare your power supply to withstand a sustained chipamp explosion.
Simply use fuses, like everyone else...
Please explain...

Ahhhhh ok.
My assumption was based on page 3 of the data sheet. I'm new to power amp stages and have mostly been glancing over specs as I work on other elements of my design which are in the physical development stage rather than still on the drawing board. I now see factors such as 94 volts being a result of the |V+| + |V-| with no input signal. Had I not started asking questions, I may have been a casualty of skimming!
I did however find a very well priced switching power supply that outputs at 43 +/- volts but here's the spec I overlooked when I thought it was too high after taking notice of the power rating more accurately, it can be reduced by 10% via trimpot. Puts me just below the survival ratings
It's rated 2 amp continuous with a 3 amp peak and capable of delivering up to 200 watts..
$24.50 USD with shipping and marketed for use with all the gainclone cards, sound good?
The maker is Lambada

Yeah. Those Absolute Maximum Ratings are really exactly only that...
A +-40V supply with only 2A current is a little weak. Again, take a look at the Power Dissipation vs. Output Power graph on page 11. We see a maximum just short of 160W peak.
What is Mr. James Watt requesting? P = U*I.
Thus, with P = 160Wpeak and U = 40V current resolves to I = 4Apeak.
Seen the other way round, your 3Apeak allow for a supply voltage of about 30V.
But for the price it can't be beaten. Just take care of power dissipation safety and heat sinking!

Thanks for the input.
For a first run, it'll do. The cab it will be driving has four 10's, 2 horn tweeters and is currently being driven by a 30 watt Behringer amp which has it screaming. I'm sure with this driving my gaincard I won't be lacking in volume or oomph. I can always swap up the power supply when I'm not on such a tight budget. I'd be spending twice this much if I built my own from the ground up.

Well the Power supplies that I build for my Gainclone chips is really cheap and easy to make....
It supplies +/-26v Unregulated for the Power amp stage and a Regulated +/-15v to +/-24 for the Preamp stages and not counting the Power transformer cost me only about maybe $10 to build, and most of my Power transformers are Salvaged from other equipment so for my the whole PSU costs much less than $20 but it does take me a bit of time to etch the PCB and to stuff the Parts but I have more time than Money so it is OK.....The PSU can also be built to accomidate as much or as little PSU Filtering as you need, it can also be modofied to be regulated for the Power amp by replaceing the Preamp regulators for higher Current regulators....
I can post a PCB design and Stuffing guide if you want....

I'm using a Behringer V-Tone 1x10 combo with 30 watts RMS@ 4 ohms to drive the custom cabinet I designed and built.
It's loaded with two Jensen MOD's and 2 Legacy car subs wired in both series and parallel to achieve a 4 ohm resistance as one channel. It also has two of my favorite piezos It runs as either 2 channels @ 8 ohms each or a mono channel at 4 ohms. Having both wire terminals and 1/4 jacks.
Both RMS and peak wattage is something ridiculous, I believe close to 900 watts RMS and twice that for the peak.
I have a passive notch filter boosting several specific frequencies to all speakers that can be switched in or out. This side of the rig is all my own design. There is also a limiter on the tweeters which is open just the slightest bit to give sparkle and more defined pinch harmonics. The cabinet is sealed back for the woofers which have wood baffles chambering them and the Jensen MOD's are basically open back with a rear wood panel enclosing maybe 15% of the speakers.
I'm willing to bet the Behringer amp is a chip amp and so far it's done just excellent, been running this setup for probably 6-8 months and play it quite regularly for long periods of time.
Overall it's one of my best projects to date. The cabinet being a good quality plywood with nice grain patterns which were stained with a light chocolate brown then poly gloss coated. It looks pretty medieval with the corners and miniture fantasy weapon designed by Kit Rae stuck dead center to the top of the front panel only it's a pin instead of full sized, functioning weapon.
The next step is building my own head to drive it and free up my Behringer practice amp.
It's been slow going but I'm really happy with the distortions my circuits have produced. I have some very heavy duty diamond plate I may use as the head enclosure and just paint it black so it will match rather than rebuffing it to chrome which would likely clash.

A lot of things baffled when I attended a Japanese school for the first time at the age of 14. Lot's of things baffled me, but the custom of soji — or cleaning — of the classroom and school buildings everyday after the last bell, seemed outrageous.
Each student had his or her own zokin (washrag), hand-stitched by themselves, hanging from little hooks at the back of the classroom and used to wipe the desks and windows. Mops, buckets and brooms were kept in the corner for polishing the floors.
At the end of every term, the cleaning became a major operation known as o-soji (the great cleaning) and took up several hours. Sometimes I tried to get my fellow cleaning comrades to stage a labor uprising. Why didn't the school have janitors (or vacuum cleaners) for these tasks, I would ask, while wringing a cold, dirty zokin in a concrete sink. I mean, shouldn't we like, get paid for our labor? But in vain. No one questioned the chores — they were part of our education. We were supposed to feel rewarded for acquiring the skills and virtues of seiketsu (cleanliness).
For many Japanese men the school practice of soji was be the last time they ever wielded a broom. At home, their mothers did the cleaning and upon marriage their wives took on the bulk of kaji (household chores).
For women, it was a different story. The school soji was a prelude to the rest of their lives, a large chunk of which was spent maintaining the home. In Kyoto, a city that is renowned for spanking clean and well-kept homes, the custom of teaching women to marry the house and not the man, still holds. "Iye wa onna no takara (The house is a woman's treasure)," they say. The logic is that men are all the same and bound to disappoint, but a house will never betray you.
This kind of mind-set has spawned an entire culture based on housework. Walk into any bookstore and you'll see whole shelves dedicated to the subject of cleaning. Whole chapters debate on the best way to tackle the mizumawari (around the faucets and pipes) as well as the tricky himawari (around the gas rings or other areas that emit heat). There are those who endorse the doitsu-shiki (German-style) approach to cleaning (emphasis on eco-detergents and baking soda).
There are those who think we should learn from the Swedes (vinegar on cotton swabs works wonders on pots and pans). Then there are those who say that washiki (traditional Japanese ways) are the best, especially when it comes to polishing toilets on one's knees. Not content to just read about it, many women also attend weekend lectures on household maintenance, given by celebrity-status karizuma shufu (charisma housewives). These speakers will tell the audience like it is: anyone who dare uses disposable kagaku zokin (chemical wipes) on their precious homes instead of furumomen (old cotton) should be ashamed. "Nihon no onna jya naidesu-yo! (You're not fit to be called Japanese women!)" yelled out one formidable lady to her cowering listeners.
Despite all this (or because of it), few Japanese women revel in housework. On the contrary, they complain and are constantly on the lookout for high-tech short-cuts, which is why Japan is a kaden rikkoku ("nation built on appliance sales").
But it never occurs to them to ditch everything and hire outside help. The act of soji nourishes the soul — the more a woman does it, the closer she gets to heaven. Housework is not shigoto (a job), exchangeable for cash, but a michi (way) that ultimately leads to self-knowledge and inner peace.

Community Policing Program
More Information – Community Policing Program for Police Departments
The Reality Check Video card – A 67 minute video to help teens and adults make better choices, (A $35 value for as low as $5 for police departments) is a great tool for any police department to help the community and foster positive community relations.
Police departments and local communities purchase the Reality Check Video Card to give out to residents to foster positive community relations between the police and the citizens they serve, as well as help local kids to make the right choices and avoid illegal activity. When the police department or sheriff's department purchase the Reality Check Video Card they have them printed with their department logo saying "We Care About Kids……" – or whatever they want, a personalized video message from the chief, mayor, city manager or whoever you decide and a personalized webpage. What a powerful tool to show the community you care. A small investment by a sheriff, police department, city, etc. will return an untold amount with fewer arrests; the police can be out patrolling the streets preventing crimes and having a positive presence. The police will not be looked at as an enemy, but as a helper. Breaking down the "Us Against Them" mentality is what community policing is all about.
Larry Lawton, Founder and President of the Reality Check Program and Larry Carter, President and CEO of the L Carter Group explain how the Reality Check Video Card program works.

• "The kitchen was so small!" That was the first thing that Pi restaurant owner CHRIS SOMMERS said when I asked him about his White House adventure. At the request of the President, Sommers, Pi partner RYAN MANGIALARDO, and ANNE SCHUERMANN traveled to Washington to create what turned out to be a White House staff lunch. Anne said she was stunned when it was White House executive chef CRISTETA COMERFORD who came to the gates to let them in. When they checked out the ovens, it was determined that the 10 thick-crust pizzas would be made in the main kitchen, and the 10 thin would have to be made in a smaller kitchen upstairs. Chris said it was nearly comical trying to share ingredients because only a tiny circular staircase connected the two. The pizza boxes were laid out on the polished wood table in the Roosevelt Room, until someone realized they probably should put something down to protect the famous conference table!
• Miso on Meramec will debut a new sushi menu May 1. Partners BRAD BERACHA and FRANK ROMANO are very excited about their new executive chef, ELIOTT HARRIS. From Sato in Vail, Tsunami in San Francisco and Abokado in Miami, Harris has spent years rethinking sushi as a creative philosophy. At Miso, expect to find Pan-Latin flavors and other fusion approaches to the Japanese culinary art form. If the new chef sounds vaguely familiar, it's because he's a class of 1990 Ladue High grad! Romano will be flying in the freshest fish to show off Harris' handiwork. All this fusion energy will go well with the contemporary vibe of the subterranean Clayton hotspot.
• Bar Oliver at Starr's Market is now open Tuesday through Saturday at the Richmond Heights grocery/restaurant. OLIVER 'BUD' STARR expanded the space that was a white tablecloth restaurant and built a large, granite-topped bar, put in flat-screen TVs and taps for dozens of beers, and added big, comfy booths in the dining area. The menu has some Cajun flair, with fried Louisiana alligator and grilled oysters as well as a great burger and homemade twice-fried fries. The buy-it-in-the-store-and-bring-it-over-deal, as Bud described it, is complemented by wine flights, five 1-ounce pours for $10, and great old Scotch in sampler sizes, like an 18-year-old Macallan for $10. Maybe in the summer he'll start making his famous homemade ice cream (remember Oliver's ice cream parlor on Central?).
• Lift your glass for Lift for Life Gym at the 14th annual St. Louis Microfest. There will be more than 50 local, regional, and international brewers participating, as well as a craft soda tent with 20 different root and birch beers and ginger ales. The two-day event includes chef demonstrations by RICK MARTIN of Free State Brewery in Lawrence, Kan., and TOM COGHILL of Iron Barley Eating Establishment. The Amalgamated Brewing Co. Food Tent will have beer-perfect snacks from the menus at The Stable and Jake's Steaks. It's all at the Upper Muny Parking Lot in Forest Park May 1 and 2. Go to stlmicrofest.com for the live music schedule and ticket information. Lift For Life Gym is a nonprofit that runs year-round programs for inner-city kids ages 8 to 18.
• Il Bel Lago in Creve Coeur is celebrating its fifth anniversary. Owners CARMELO and FRANK GABRIELE liken their business to a heavyweight prize fight, saying they put on their gloves every day. And Trattoria Branica Restaurant and Wine Bar is throwing an opening party April 28 to celebrate its new location in Kirkwood. The evening of food, wine and music provided by Dawn & Arvell costs $60 per person; all profits from the party go to Friends of the SLU Liver Center.

Corn futures are trading 3 to 11 cents lower at midday. Corn futures turned lower following the wheat market, with the July contract down 11 1/4 cents. The rising dollar and commercial selling are depressing market prices. However, calls for hot, dry weather in the U.S. Midwest should provide the market with some support. USDA crop progress report showed corn 97 percent planted and 77 percent good to excellent.
Soybean futures are trading 11 to 15 cents lower at midday. Soybean futures are seeing much volatility as they have been trading both sides of the market. Pressure from declines in both corn and wheat markets are weighing on prices as well as declines in the soy complex. Firm export demand and hot dry weather forecasts in the South and Midwest over the next week should lend some support to the market.
Wheat futures are trading 3 to 7 cents lower at midsession. Futures continued to decline as the market reacted to calls for timely rains in Russia's key wheat producing regions. The renewed surge in the value of the U.S. dollar is also pressuring wheat prices. Weather still remains a concern as forecasts of higher temperatures in the U.S. Plains have not subsided. This may provide a boost to prices.
Cattle futures are trading 37 to 57 cents higher at midsession. Cattle futures are up as beef cutout prices show improvement. Choice was up more than $2 while select was down slightly on yesterday. Traders are expecting demand to pick up as Memorial Day weekend approaches. No trade is reported in the cash market currently, but preliminary asking prices are expected to start at $125 in the South and $197 in the North.
Lean hog futures are trading 40 to 47 cents lower at midday. Hogs futures are declining as parker margins are becoming more negative. Although Monday's pork cutout value was up 21 cents it was not enough to spur expectations of strengthening demand. Trade in the cash market is light, with prices reported as steady to 50 cents lower in some areas.

CONTROVERSIAL plans to build an underground garage on a former airfield site in Appleton are to rumble on.
The blueprints to turn the land on the former Stretton Airfield site into a car storage facility with space for 118 cars will now be decided later this year.
The council's development control committee were expected to make a decision on the application on Thursday but decided to push it back after some of the reports had not been completed.
Plans to build the garage also include blueprints to erect a private office building and a security lodge.
The construction of an access road from the former airfield runway to the proposed development and a 15 space external car park is also included in the final plans.
It has been claimed by the applicant, Hensmill Property, that the proposed development 'will create a safe and secure environment' and will deter fly-tipping, vandalism and ant-social behaviour from taking place on the land.
But neighbouring residents have raised concerns about the increased traffic which will travel through Appleton Thorn, noise pollution and decreased property values in the area as a result of the building work.
It has also been alleged that it is an unnecessary development on greenbelt area
Appleton Parish Council, Antrobus Parish Council and High Legh Parish Council also object to the proposed plans.

Shock takes a while to shake off.
A lot of people are still shaking after the Penguins being swept from the playoffs by Boston.
It WAS shocking.
They scored two goals.
The offensively deficient New York Rangers had that many goals in Game 1 of Round 2 against Boston.
This was always going to be a busy offseason for the Penguins. What happened in the East final will make a hot summer even hotter.
A primer to get you ready, including a look at roster going forward as it pertains to free agents and extension-eligible players: http://triblive.com/sports/penguins/4152992-74/penguins-million-shero#axzz2VjSKJL00
= Columnist Joe Starkey makes a call on coach Dan Bylsma: http://triblive.com/sports/joestarkey/4144842-74/bylsma-goals-game#axzz2VjSKJL00
= Sunday is locker-clearing day for the Penguins, some of whom will set foot inside Consol Energy Center for the final time.
Normally, GM Ray Shero speaks to the media – a sort of season-in-review session – on this day. As of now, Shero is not scheduled to speak.
That is intriguing in itself.
As always, the #TribHKY team will have all the news as we hear it – and, heck, even some stuff that isn't officially news yet – as A Great Summer for Hockey Fires gets going.
Also, finally, a sincere thanks for your readership and following on many platforms. Josh Yohe and I appreciate it. Josh maybe a bit more. (He's the Human One, but you never heard that commercial.)

What I liked about having Allen represent me was that he was my lawyer from the first meeting until the verdict was read. And while I was satisfied along the entire journey, I was especially pleased when the verdict was read!
Posted by Amir
I would like to say that Mr. Broughton is very professional and hands on type of lawyer. He is very knowledgeable and well experienced which bring the best result possible. He was also helpful in areas of law that I did not actually hire him for. He is always supportive and always willing to listen and give advice. His firm helped me through one of the most difficult times of my life. I would highly recommend the law firm of Broughton to my friends and family.

NJ Election Officials Keep Voter Fraud In Check [AUDIO]
Voter-registration records across the country are inaccurate, out of date or duplicates, according to a new report from the Pew Center. New Jersey election officials say that's not the case here.
The state has one of the most robust voter registration systems, according to Robert Giles, director of the New Jersey Division of Elections.
"We are linked in with motor vehicles, the social security administration, state corrections office, the parole board…and so we have these voter files bounce against all these other files to give us the most up to date information."
He says the 1993 voter registration act still makes it difficult to remove someone from the voting rolls.
"Unless they have a death certificate or proof that they've moved, they need to miss two presidential elections before they can be totally removed and that can take up to eight years."
New Jersey also cross-checks sample ballots with the post office.
"So if we get a sample ballot back we can look up to see if that person has moved to a different county, maybe they don't live there anymore and we can make corrections that way in our system."
But Giles agrees with Pew's solution to create a multi-state database to give officials records from other states.
"Its just a matter of getting all the states on board and making that database usable in a way where we can remove voters…we don't want them to sit on our rolls for four years."

Reconciliation Action Plan
Mission Australia's vision for reconciliation is that the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples of this country will be restored to a place of equity, dignity and respect.
We long for the healing of our national soul as we see Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures fully valued, broken relationships restored and social inequalities eradicated.
Our Reconciliation Action Plan or RAP is an agreed strategy of how Mission Australia intends to contribute to the huge task of reducing the disturbing gap in living standards between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander and non-Aboriginal Australians.
Mission Australia's RAP has emerged after a lengthy process of consultation with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander colleagues, our own staff, other stakeholders and with enormous encouragement from Reconciliation Australia.
Our RAP has been developed under the auspices of Reconciliation Australia's RAP program and follows the recognised guidelines under which commitments to action follow the well- established themes of relationships, respect and opportunities.
These themes align well with our own organisational values of respect, compassion, integrity, perseverance and celebration.

Consider this the most hipster reusable water bottle around. Not that that's a bad thing, just saying. I think the best feature is that you don't drink from anything that touches (or could touch anything else). It's a 25oz bottle.
angelphillips18's recommendation
The KOR ONE Hydration Vessel - it's water redesigned. With a hands-free cap & ergonomic handle, this BPA-free water bottle was designed with both you and the world in mind.

kathykaehler's recommendation
If you want to be motivated to drink more water grab this water vessel. It is awesome. I love it. It is so sleek and the water looks so clean. It is great to walk with as the handle just fits so nice with a few fingers. The grasp allows you to have your wrist in a comfortable position. The company also donates some of the sale to earthly causes. 4 colors but blue is my favorite.

Star Couplings: Jude Law Is Having Another Baby!
- Jude Law has been advised by an unidentified woman that his fourth child is due in the fall of this year. He had a "relationship" with her last year, but they're no longer involved. [Hollywood Insider] — He intends to support the child he fathers, but wouldn't life have been much easier if he had wrapped it up?
- Kenny Chesney is blasting a tabloid rumor that Jessica Simpson flirted with him in front of Tony Romo on July 4, which was days before the couple's split. — [People] — Now that was nice of him to come to Jessica's defense. Hopefully, he's not one of those people who can't tell when someone is flirting.
- Kim Kardashian thanked fans for their "love and support" and added that she's doing "OK" after her breakup with Reggie Bush. [Us Weekly]
- Heidi and Spencer Pratt did their best to fuel baby rumors yesterday by shopping in the infants section of an L.A. boutique. [OK! Magazine] — Say it ain't so! Let's hope these two were just doing their usual attention-seeking antics, and aren't really spawning any evil trolls.
- And in more "Hills" news (wasn't that break nice but too short?), Audrina Patridge has confirmed she's dating Corey Bohan again. [E! Online]
- Jay-Z promises to dish about his fairytale wedding to Beyonce in his forthcoming autobiography. [The Young, Black, and Famous] — I wonder if his rumored affair with Rihanna will come up at all.

THORNBURY came together in a special remembrance service to mark the centenary of the start of Britain's involvement in the First World War.
On Monday, August 4, at 6pm, a brief service was held at St Mary's Church to remember the sacrifice the town made and to thank its residents who paid the ultimate price during the First World War.
The names of all the servicemen from Thornbury, who died fighting for the country in the First World War, were read out before prayers were said.
Many of the town's residents attended the service held in the evening, led by the Rev Dr Jan van der Lely,
The Mayor of Thornbury, Guy Rawlinson, a churchwarden and members of the Thornbury branch of the Royal BritishLegion read out the names from the memorial, followed by prayers for peace in the world.
White and pink flowers and sprigs of rosemary were then laid on the memorial outside the church.
Mrs van der Lely said: "The events around the commemoration are powerful ways of bringing the community together with a sense of shared history, grieving with those who lost loved ones, lamenting the terrible waste of life in war, and joining in resolve to work for peace in the future.
"Those who gathered on Monday evening were not all regular church goers, there were other members of the town; and in fact a family spoke to me afterwards who were visiting Thornbury, and joined us as they could not go to their own local service.
"They much appreciated the chance to share in a corporate act of commemoration and prayer on the centenary.
She added: "I hope that many more people than usual will come to the War Memorial on Remembrance Sunday, 9th November, to witness the annual laying of wreaths there, during this significant year of commemoration."
On Sunday, August 3, the Stafford Chapel, which forms part of the church, was turned into a place for reflection and prayer to mark the centenary of the outbreak of the First World War.
A large collection of artefacts from the war was also put on display inside the Stafford Chapel at the church all day, after kindly being lent to the church by Edward Hervey of the Royal British Legion, Thornbury branch - it included items from guns and shrapnel to postcards and medals all from the First World War.
A 78-year-old lady who was at the Monday memorial and did not wish to be named said that: "It's important that we remember the wars, too many people died and we have to learn lessons from them so that these mistakes are never repeated."
Margaret Sweet, who lives in Dursley, said: "It was nice to be here, we need to remember what happened in the wars"
Visitors to the church were also able to read some poetry from the period and light a candle in memory of the fallen.
Later in the evening the Thornbury Air Cadets and Sea Cadets came to the church with their padres, Mrs van der Lely and the Rev Tom Keates, one of the church's curates, to see the artefacts and to hear about some of the Thornbury men who died in the Great War.
A service was also held at St John's Church in Charfield where residents gathered to remember the moment when the UK joined the war at 11pm in 1914.

NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- The recent unrest in Ukraine offers an important lesson for investors: Know what's in the exchange-traded funds in your portfolio.
Last week's bloody protests killed scores of people and have led to the ouster of President Viktor Yanukovych. The country's parliament has appointed lawmaker Oleksandr Turchinov to take on the former president's duties until elections can be held in May, but there are fears the country may split in two.
At the root of the violence has been disagreement about whether the nation should move more toward the West as part of the European Union or align more closely with Russia.
Last week, Standard & Poor's lowered Ukraine's foreign currency rating to triple-C from triple-C-plus and warned that the government could default on its debt. This could spell trouble for emerging-market bond funds that have exposure to Ukraine debt.
According to ETF.com, the largest emerging-market bond fund according is the iShares JP Morgan USD Emerging Market Bond ETF (EMB). It has a 3.25% weighting in the Ukraine. Other funds with exposure include PowerShares Emerging Markets Sovereign Debt Portfolio (PCY), which has a 3.97% exposure, and the iShares Emerging Markets High Yield Bond ETF (EMHY), which has slightly less than 3%.
Funds with no exposure include the WisdomTree Emerging Markets Local Debt Fund (ELD), the Market Vectors EM Local Currency Bond ETF (EMLC) and the suite of ETFs recently launched by Emerging Global Advisors.
The fund with the largest exposure to the Ukraine that I could find was the ProShares Short Term USD Emerging Markets Bond ETF (EMSH) which is a relatively small fund with $11 million in assets. It has a 10% weighting.
There is a bigger point here about how to use exchange-traded products as part of a diversified portfolio.
Investors who construct portfolios with funds that have narrower focuses than broad funds such as SPDR S&P 500 (SPY), iShares MSCI EAFE ETF (EFA) and iShares Core Total US Bond Market ETF (AGG) must be willing to devote some time to understanding a fund's holdings and then monitoring those holdings for news like the default threat in the Ukraine.
Certainly no one can know now whether the Ukraine will default on any of its debt, but we do know that the large a fund's weighting in Ukrainian debt, the large the potential hit in a default.

You are here: Home > Southern > Latest news > News archive > 2010 > August > Transport Minister re-opens Gipsy Hill station
Date: 12 Aug 2010
Transport Minister Norman Baker has re-opened Southern's Gipsy Hill station following a £800,000 programme of improvements under the Department for Transport's National Stations Improvement Programme (NSIP).
The objective of the NSIP scheme is to provide noticeable and lasting improvements for rail passengers at approximately 150 medium-sized stations throughout England and Wales. At Gipsy Hill this has been brought to life spectacularly for the passengers who use the station whilst retaining its heritage.
Among the enhancements to the station has been a complete re-design of the booking hall to include a new accessible ticket office window, an accessible station entrance, a new accessible toilet and new retail and ticket buying facilities. In a unique partnership between DfT, TfL and Southern ticket gates have also been installed to improve security and reduce ticketless travel, and since April the station has been staffed from the first to last train. Also new to the station are two new waiting shelters and seating on the platforms and the existing wooden building on platform 1 has been completely refurbished.
To add the final touches, the entire station has been deep cleaned and repainted.
On opening the station, Norman Baker said "Stations are the gateways to our communities and the country's rail network - it is therefore vital that they leave a lasting positive impression on passengers. This is why the Government is committed to improving the total rail journey experience for passengers.
"Gipsy Hill station now boasts new comfortable waiting areas, improved security, clearer information and better disabled access. Similar work will be completed soon at Streatham Hill station and I welcome the efforts of Southern to make these improvements for the benefit of passengers
At the ceremony were representatives from Southern, Network Rail, Transport for London and London Borough of Lambeth Council.
Southern's Managing Director, Chris Burchell said:
"Thanks to NSIP and the new DfT-funded ticket gates, Gipsy Hill station has truly been transformed. We now have a station we are proud to present to our passengers and I'm sure people will be able to enjoy the station and its new facilities for many years to come."
Mike Goggin, Network Rail's Director of Stations and Customer Service added: "Good rail links are vital for connecting people and businesses. Passengers rely on rail for almost 4m journeys every year from Gipsy Hill and Streatham Hill stations reflecting the importance of these investments to the community and local economy."
The visit to Gipsy Hill was followed closely by a trip to Streatham Hill station where the Minister was able to see another NSIP programme nearing completion, with automatic ticket gates and refurbishment of the booking hall and platform areas all being part of the overall station improvement project.
The aim of the improvement works to the station building was to provide a more attractive welcoming environment for Southern customers and included the following enhancements:
Re-modelling of the Booking Hall to include:
• Improved access and egress;
• Increased circulation space;
• Enhanced Customer Information System (Work in progress);
• Anti slip flooring;
• Accessible W.C;
• Integrated Digital CCTV; and
• Automatic Ticket Gates (three normal and one wide aisle gate)
Re-modelling of the Ticket Office to include:
• Improved ticketing facilities with accessible window;
• Reconfiguration of back of house Staff Welfare Facilities;
• New W.C;
• New Cafe tenancy; and
• Relocation of dry cleaning drop-off facility.
Full Refurbishment and re-modelling of the timber building on Platform 1 to include:
• Enhanced waiting facilities;
• Information Desk;
• New passenger toilet facilities;
• New staff accommodation and welfare facilities;
• Repairs to platform canopy;
• Full Refurbishment and re-modelling of the timber building on Platform 1;
• New modular waiting shelters to Platform 2; and
• Additional Seating to both platforms

LAKE CITY, Fla. - Two teens were arrested Wednesday in connection with a car burglary.
According to Lake City police, the two were caught in the act of burglarizing the vehicle by the owner, who confronted both suspects. At that time both suspects took off on foot, police said.
The victim, 23-year-old Jena Page, ran after the suspects, but they got away, police said.
Page notified police of the burglary and was able to provide officers physical and clothing descriptions.
The suspects were apprehended after an officer patrolling the area found the two males who matched Page's description.
The suspects were identified as 16-year-old Zachary Thebo and 18-year-old Brandon Casagrand.
Page positively identified the suspects and her items were immediately recovered, police said.
Thebo and Casagrand were both arrested and booked in Columbia County Detention Center.
