On January 20, the WHO Executive Board released a resolution entitled "Global Burden of Mental Disorders and the need for a comprehensive, coordinated response at the country level." The document calls for, among other measures, collaboration between national governments and the global health body in developing a "comprehensive mental health action plan" for the world.
The resolution asks the WHO Director-General to draft a "comprehensive" plan which includes model legislation and policy measures for member states. The program would encompass everything from education and human rights to health-care delivery and employment, with the WHO boss instructed to integrate all relevant sectors of society and government into the "comprehensive" scheme.
Just a few days before the WHO released its controversial resolution, a team of academics published a peer-reviewed paper in the journal PLoS Medicine calling for exactly what the global health body envisions: An international regime to deal with mental health. Led by Vikram Patel of the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine and Judith Bass from Johns Hopkins School of Public Health, the authors even called for a world "People's Charter for Mental Health."
"The time has come for recognition at the highest levels of global development, namely the U.N. General Assembly, of the urgent need for a global strategy to address the global burden of MNS [mental, neurological, and substance-abuse] disorders," the authors wrote, citing data on global mental-health trends. "The fact that MNS disorders affect people in all countries should offer considerable incentive for investments by both public and private sectors in this initiative."
Meanwhile, the government of India was among the busiest promoters of the global scheme. It was joined by the Obama administration and other governments around the world in helping to advance the WHO's resolution, according to Indian media reports.
Critics, however, slammed the developing push to grant the UN and its organs more authority over mental health. Across the political spectrum, commentators actually worried about giving global bodies and the massively powerful psychiatry industry any expanded powers — let alone the ability to craft global policy. And as the debate heats up, scrutiny is expected to continue growing.
"Even within individual national boundaries, the Psychiatric/Psychological complex has vastly more authority that it needs or deserves," noted Brandon Turbeville in a widely publicized report, blasting the track records of both the UN and the psychiatric industry. "When one multiplies that oppressive authority with the global jurisdiction of the United Nations, as well as the U.N's tendency to introduce tyrannical guidelines in its own right, we can see a clear recipe for disaster."
Turbeville, the author of "Codex Alimentarius— The End of Health Freedom" — a book exposing a well-developed UN plot to limit the availability of vitamins and promote controversial genetically modified food — also highlighted an array of global bodies working to implement oppressive policies. And a UN mental-health program would almost certainly follow in their footsteps, he warned.
Another organization which regularly criticizes the UN offered a dire warning about the emerging mental-health scheme, too. According to analysts at the Daily Bell, the sudden onslaught of "propaganda" promoting a global psychiatric plan managed by world bodies is no surprise — but it definitely has the potential to become a threat to individual liberty and national sovereignty.
"It's merely the latest example of a fear-based, power-elite dominant social theme," noted a Daily Bell staff report, pointing out that powerful forces are continually seeking to consolidate control at the global level. "First the elites create the 'problem' via various kinds of social chaos and war; then the problem is documented in an elite 'scientific journal;' and finally, an elite globalist facility is trotted out as a resource — one that will create yet another layer of bureaucracy that will further expand elite, globalist control."
The analysis also noted that, in a worst-case scenario, the UN and its emerging "mental-health" apparatus could conceivably even seek the power to lock certain people away in mental institutions or send them to "re-education camps." However, with the Internet exposing the machinations of the world elite, it is becoming increasingly difficult to transform authoritarian propaganda into action, the commentators wrote.
Still, the UN has been expanding its power and domain since it was created. It already has agencies and bureaus dealing with every imaginable area of human life, from war and food to the environment and economic development. The UN's global health regime, the WHO — despite suffering a major setback in public opinion following its discredited swine-flu hysteria — still wields immense authority.
Critics also point to the mindset and beliefs of key players within the global bodies. The first director of the WHO, Brock Chisholm, for example, is widely reported to have said something along the lines of: "To achieve world government, it is necessary to remove from the minds of men their individualism, their loyalty to family traditions and national identification."
Other senior UN personalities have for decades made statements which are equally alarming to critics. Meanwhile, almost all elements of the increasingly powerful UN's operations have come under fire — from UN troops raping and massacring civilians around the world to massive corruption scandals among top officials to controversial "population control" efforts and everything in between.
The UN, of course, is a collection of the world's governments — most of which are led by tyrants of various persuasions and more than a few of which still use bogus psychiatric labels to imprison dissidents. Giving such an entity the power to govern global mental-health policy, critics say, would be absolutely insane.

text: Friday, June 07, 2013 Functional Limitation Reporting Tip: Submit Claims in Sequence To avoid payment challenges to functional limitation reporting when you file for outpatient Medicare services provided beginning July 1, submit your claims in sequence. As a reminder, the testing phase of the functional limitation reporting requirement ends June 30, after which outpatient Medicare claims will be returned unpaid if they don't include the required functional limitation reporting. On each beneficiary's first treatment date on or after July 1, physical therapists must report the appropriate functional G-codes and corresponding modifiers on the claim form (editor's note: see update below). This includes beneficiaries for whom functional reporting occurred during the testing period. Once Medicare receives the claim, its claims processing system will open a therapy reporting episode and start counting to the next 10 treatment dates of service per the progress reporting period, starting with the first claim containing the appropriate current and goal status G-codes and corresponding modifiers submitted on or after July 1. Submitting claims in sequence will facilitate tracking of treatment dates for the different reporting periods. For more information and resources on functional limitation reporting, please see APTA's Functional Limitation Reporting webpage, which includes links to PTNow's resources on appropriate tests and measures, and APTA's Functional Limitation Discussion Forum. Update - June 18, 2013: Some of the information reported above is obsolete, in light of recent changes by CMS. Learn more here: CMS Changes July 1 Functional Limitation Reporting Instructions for Current Patients. Comments As if the burden of this program isn't enough? To now have to "start over" on July 1st with all your medicare patients after the trial period has begun...just plain ridiculous. Tail wagging the dog as usual with this stuff.... Posted by Michael Vacon on 6/7/2013 3:35 PM Medicare does not process the claims in order as it is. If we hit the max and have to add KX to the 3rd claim of 3, they will process them backwards and reject the 1st claim as over the max instead. So we have to go back and add KX to the whole batch. This could be a problem with the 10 treatments if they process number 8 and 9 after number 10 too? (We bill by paper) Posted by Debbe on 6/7/2013 8:24 PM Is APTA 100% sure of this? So what was the sense of starting G codes before July 1st? This is beyond absurd - it seems obvious that this system is not well thought out - What a surprise! Posted by Roslyn Sofer on 6/7/2013 11:37 PM It's unclear if July 1 is the required date for all new patients to include g codes and established patients with g code submission will just continue on? Someone needs to clarify this ongoing situation ?? Posted by Gail on 6/8/2013 8:06 AM There will be a lot of claims denied after July 1st. What about patients receiving care by a PTA on July 1st? We can see many out patient clinics taking a serious hit on payment from medicare this summer. I agree with the other comments outlined above. Why did we even have a trial period? Posted by Chad on 6/9/2013 2:41 PM No doubt this PQRS and FLR business is a major headache, but I don't understand the complaints about the pre-July 1st lead-up. It seems obvious that the time prior to 7/1 is to allow practices the time to get procedures in place for the data gathering and reporting and to work out the bugs. We have to be ready to go "live" on 7/1, with the time prior being a dress rehearsal. Posted by Todd on 6/9/2013 6:33 PM How will this affect hospital based outpatient clinics since we submit claims monthly? Posted by Iris on 6/10/2013 10:32 AM CMS has informed APTA and stated on last week's physician, nurses and allied health professionals open door forum call that providers will need to report functional limitation data (G codes) on the first date of service in July, even if they have already been reporting G codes prior to July. We recognize that this is burdensome for providers and we have conveyed your concerns to CMS officials to see if anything can be done to reduce the burden. As soon as we get more information, we will disseminate it to our members. Posted by News Now Staff on 6/10/2013 11:57 AM I am curious if this resets the 10 th visit progress note cycle as well? We have been reporting G codes since March 1st and our current patients are in a cycle that makes sense - all learning curve is over for the staff - the electronic submission is going well - the EMR is set up.... We are ready for July 1st, but have to start the current patients at day 1 again?! Ridiculous! Posted by Amber Nye -> AKS\<F on 6/10/2013 2:40 PM Can we re-report the functional limitation data that we've already reported the last week in June? Posted by Gary Lynch -> >FV`< on 6/10/2013 3:15 PM The count of the 10th visit is where the biggest headache will come for our clinic. CMS is going to start counting 10 visits from the first visit on or after July 1st... doesn't matter if that patient is really on their 2nd or 9th visit. Then you have to report on what CMS is calling their "10th visit" from the start of July. How many clinics do you think are going to get denied for making a mistake on that date or claim number for the 10th visit progress G Code? Posted by Christi on 6/11/2013 12:07 PM If the PT does a "Physician Letter" can you charge for a re-evaluation and if so would you need to use the functional G codes on the re-evaluation. Posted by MONA GRAHAM on 6/12/2013 5:21 PM APTA continues to await the release of the Medicare functional limitation reporting FAQ document which should provide additional details about how therapists should handle reporting for current patients beginning on July 1, 2013. As soon as we get more information, we will disseminate it to our members. Posted by News Now Staff on 6/13/2013 4:41 PM For Medicare patients where G codes and modifiers have been documented by the therapist and added to the claim prior to July 1, would CMS allow the initial/ current G code and modifiers to be reported on the first visit claim in July (based on prior documentation by the PT) without requiring the physical therapist to have documented the G code and modifier on that date of service? Then a PTA could see the patient that first visit in July and the patient could keep their prior 10th visit schedule: CMS won't mind getting G codes and modifiers sooner than the 10th visit. Posted by Christine Caesar on 6/13/2013 9:33 PM Wouldn't it be nice if providers could concentrate on treating patients rather than appeasing the government? Posted by Carol Barker on 6/14/2013 4:26 PM On the 10th visit, is it supposed to be the PT or PTA that does the reassessment for functional reporting? Posted by Chad Brandon on 8/21/2013 9:35 AM

E-Talk to the Engineering Student Council at University of Arizona
Visits (12708)
Last night, I presented an E-Talk to the Engineering Student Council (ESC) of the University of Arizona (UofA).
The ESC is the student governing body of The University of Arizona's College of Engineering. The organization works with scholastic honorary societies, professional organizations, and project clubs to aid and encourage the professional and social development of students. This year, ESC launched a new program, Engineering Talks (E-Talks), consisting of workshops and lectures, which will focus on teaching students what it takes to work within a company, before they enter the workforce. To make this program successful, career advice from professionals working at established companies is essential.
The audience was a mix of undergraduate and graduate engineering students from a variety of disciplines, such as Petroleum, Hydrology, Mining, Biomedical, Electrical and Computer Engineering. Only a few were graduating this May. There were roughly an equal number of boys and girls, which was encouraging. When I was an engineering student at the UofA, women engineers were very rare.

I divided my talk into three sections.
After the Q&A, several students stayed around afterwards to ask questions. This seems to happen every time I give a presentation to a mixed audience. I handed out plenty of business cards, and offered to make the charts available to all the students via the IBM Expert Network on Slideshare.net website.

Boston has the history, the Wellesley scream tunnel and, of course, Boylston street (unfortunately, I ran it on the bombing year so that's the imprint on my mind), Chicago has the cheering sections in each village (shoutout to my buddies, the Chicago Dragons, for holding the best cheering section of the race in the Chinatown area), Scotia Toronto runs right through my neighbourhood, Mississauga had Mayor Hazel and Lanni Marchant, Toronto Goodlife had green bananas, soaking bags, and no change stations, NYC is just insane (if you are running one marathon, this is it), and Rome has too many landmarks to mention plus the wall of pee (no, not a wall made of pee but the sheer number of runners peeing on the walls around the Colosseum instead of using porta-potties).
Edinburgh sure pulled off a few surprises for me. But before that, let's rewind.
Edinburgh didn't exactly register on my radar until I was denied, for the fourth time, by the London Marathon. Not wanting to run yet another race locally, I tried to register for Prague but was too late. So in searching for a PB-friendly course, I stumbled upon Edinburgh. Apparently, at one time, it was voted as the fastest course in the UK. Plus it had a guaranteed entry process so that takes out any stress of wondering whether I would be in or not.
One big change I decided to do this season is to get myself a coach. I have been self-trained for the last six or so years and my races have stagnated over the past year and half. I felt like I needed a push and to have a bit of accountability to someone other than myself.
In choosing a coach, I needed someone who shares the same philosophy as I did when it comes to training...meaning he or she needs to be a proponent of 80/20 running. And in this world, a few names pop up...such as Matt Fitzgerald, Brad Hudson, Jack Daniels...all of whom apply their own version of 80/20. These are the guys that I read and follow.
So I thought, if these guys are the best, why not ask them to coach me? And I did.
Kara Lubiniecki of Hudson Elite answered my call. She is an elite-level runner whose PBs I can only dream about. She is co-founder of Hudson Elite along with, who else, Brad Hudson. And so the journey began.
I will probably write about my training in greater detail but suffice to say for now that it didn't go too well until about six weeks to race. I could barely hold it together in the first eight weeks, missing runs, missing paces, feeling disinterested in the workouts and all of this was due to the stress of traveling and problems at work (50,000 miles flown before the end of March). The time changes, jet lag, lack of sleep, and a litany of other issues all conspired to leave me with little to give during training.
At last, my travels eased up and as April came along, I knew I would have a solid 7-8 weeks in Toronto. Things finally began to pick up. It was tough at first trying to get back in shape but I slowly fought back. I did end up missing one of two 32 km runs due to food poisoning but I chalked it up to just a bit of bad luck.
All in all, my weekly mileage barely ticked over 80 km for the season with only one week at 110. I also only had one long run at 32 km. Worrisome.
Still, the six weeks leading up to the race felt good. I was finally hitting the paces given to me by Kara. We started with an ambitious goal of 2:50 but as confident as I can be, we knew that it's out of reach...for now.
Race week rolls around and the plan was to run at below the 3-hour pace and see what I could do in the latter stages of the race.
Edinburgh the day before
It's a gorgeous city with great people...it truly is. I love this place...except maybe for the weather. Sunny one minute, windy the next, rain after that, then sunny again. It gets quite confusing.
Packet pickup was really easy but there wasn't much of an expo. In fact, there wasn't much to pick up...they gave me an envelope that contained my bib and a discount coupon for some electrolyte tabs. No race shirt, no loot bag, no magazines or useless flyers. I didn't fuss over it because I wanted to go back to the hotel and resume my eating, which for the record started around 10 AM that day with four waffles, a danish, a croissant, three eggs, three sausage links, some mushrooms, some haggis, two cups of coffee, and two glasses of juice.
Race Day
I really have to stop oversleeping for my races. I actually woke up at the prescribed time that day so I could eat my breakfast and down 500 ml of Gatorade four hours to race time. I promptly went back to bed and dozed off until 8:30, an hour and 20 minutes to race time...oops.
It took 30 minutes to get ready so I headed out the door and the hotel into..a really bright and windy day. Forecast called for a high of 20 and it felt like it already. It was definitely warm as I joined hundreds of runners who were walking towards their corrals.
It took about fifteen minutes to get up to London Road where the first waves would start. After checking my bag in and getting everything, I saw my first surprise.
A porta-stall!!!
I have never seen one and I wished that I had my camera although I don't think that it would have been good to take a picture of one. This is because it's a plastic porta-potty like the ones we are used to but this is a big version with no side doors. It fits six runners, three on each side, who share a trough. You basically step in, pee, step out. The result? Hardly any wait. A few seconds at most. It's all very efficient...for men that is.
The Race
The course is advertised as net downhill and it was. We start within the city limits and run downhill for the first few miles. Quick turns and aggressive rolling segments dominated the first 2 miles as we negotiated our way out of the city. The course avoided the downtown area completely. It looks like the Edinburgh race directors encounter similar problems as that of Toronto. Downtown itself is bare of any signage that there was a marathon going on, which led me to think that it was a small race (even though their website clearly says that it's the second largest running event in the UK).Ultimately, I think that the city didn't want to deal with closing streets so there we were, completely avoiding downtown and being herded out into the 'burbs.
Second Half
It all started out pretty well as I managed to keep an even pace. Nothing surprising in the second half of the course at this point...just more coastlines and really friendly spectators having their coffee and food by their patios. There was a bit of music along the way. It started with the a livelier version of "I don't like Mondays" by the Boomtown Rats. And it's a good thing they used that version because the original is, well, a bit depressing.
Another music station along the way played a bit of Queen. I couldn't quite remember which song it was, it may have been Somebody To Love but whatever, Freddie is good anytime.
From about 23 to 28 km, my pace imperceptibly slowed down by a second or two. This is typically a result of focus than actual fatigue. In this case, I was feeling ok but do remember thinking at 24 that I still had a ways to go
Around 28 is when we had to go back on the uphill portion of the race into this windy part of the course. This really slowed me down and sapped my strength, In addition, I believe this is where the gravel-y part started where I just couldn't find a decent foothold. Not surprisingly, km 29 was my worst at 4:32.
That seemed to really crush my spirit as my pace now slipped to 4:16s and I struggled to recover. The rolling segments and the headwind made it challenging for the final 10 km so I did what I had to do to keep moving. Focus on runners that I could hang on to and pick off. One particular fella was wearing a "Vegan Runner" singlet and was being cheered by a number of people. Perfect!
Just like Michael Jordan, who manufactured enemies in his mind to motivate himself, I did the same thing with Vegan guy. How dare he judge me for eating meat? Tasty tasty meat. Ribs, steak, burgers, sausages...all that meat juice that flow in my veins and power my stride. Yeah tofu isn't bad but it's no rib-eye.
I think he felt me eyeing him because for some inexplicable reason, he and his high-fiber diet kept running faster and faster and I just couldn't seem to keep up.
As I helplessly watched him pull away, I settled into the maelstrom in the dark sea of my mind and repeated the various mantras that I used over the training season (in no particular order): Find your breath. Find your peace, Find your rhythm. I am the Iron Fist (don't ask).
Whatever I did, it worked. I maintained my pace and even gained a few seconds back.
Around 36 km was when I felt the familiar twitch of the calves, similar to what I felt in Bermuda before it became a full-blown cramp at 40 km.
But I was mentally prepared this time, having practiced my mental modelling. So I switched my gait just for a little bit to get the calves to settle down. I learned in Bermuda that screaming at your calves and telling them "NO" doesn't really work and all you do is end up looking like a complete idiot who screams at himself for no apparent reason. And you still get a cramp anyway.
It was also here that another Queen song started playing. I also do not remember which song it was.
With four km to go, the clouds in my mind became darker as the sun rose up higher. At this point, I grabbed another water bottle and was feeling pretty beat up. My self-fulfilling prophecy of "fading in the late stages because I only got in one 32 km run" was coming true.
BUT lo and behold, my nemesis Vegan guy is slowing down and I was quickly catching up to him and his chlorophyll-charged muscles. So I just locked on to him and slowly fought back. I wasn't necessarily running any faster really but in my mind, I was soaring. It took about 2 km for me to reel him in and past him. By this time, the end was nigh.
As if on cue, Madness starts singing "Our House" and I knew I was a hop, skip and a jump away from crossing the line.
As I turned into the finish chute, I could finally see the light and the light is telling me that I have been running for over 2:58. I tried to speed, and I did for about 10 steps, but I was just too tired and too beat up. At least I wasn't cramping!
So 2:59:07 it is. My fifth sub-3:00 in 12 tries.
While this was way short of my original goal, I have to admit that I was pleased with the effort. I only ran into real trouble maybe twice during the race and didn't really have to dig into the darkest recesses of my mind to pull this off.
The Last New Thing...
After finishing the race, all runners are faced with a choice of archways to walk through: S, M, L, XL.
This where you go get your race shirt. It says finisher on the back and this explained why I didn't get anything on packet pick up other than the, uh, packet. Part of me loves this concept because now you can't just pay for a race, not run it, then wear the shirt afterwards as if you did. But the other part of me feels bad for the injured runner who trained well but was just unlucky or the ones who were all set to go but life got in the way, I don't think there a good answer for this but it's the answer than EMF picked so that's that.
The very last thing for this report (I promise), the obligatory post-race pic. And since we were in Scotland, I would be remiss not to partake in their local cuisine.

Brought to you by DoomYoshi and the Community Team
Our Story starts in 2006, when Thaksin Shinawatra was overthrown by the military and exiled from the country. In 2007, a new Democratic election was held. In 2008, the next prime minister was ousted. His successor lasted for a few months before his entire party was dissolved by the courts. After years of violent protests, Yingluck Shinawatra took over office in July 2011. You may recognize her last name. Indeed she is the younger sister of the man with whom we began our story.
Controversy has never really ended in this politically unstable kingdom. When Yingluck passed legislature to allow her brother to return back to Thailand, a zany wave of protests began. As I write this, Bangkok is under a state of emergency. There are new elections scheduled for February 2, 2013. We are unsure if they will even happen on schedule, as some are suggesting they be delayed.
There are 53 Parties contesting 125 seats! There are protestors lobbing grenades at police, a strong military and judicial system, weak government and a king. We are going to capture this swirling mess in one game.
As there are only 4 Parties with a candidate in all 125 ridings, they will be 4-player games. To fully experience the rush, the settings are set to fray your nerves.
NO SIGN-UPS REQUIRED - Everyone is eligible!
All you need to do is play in at least one game started between February 1 and February 28 with the following settings:
Map: Thailand
Players per game: 4
Game Type: Standard
Initial Troops: Automatic OR Manual
Play Order: Freestyle
Spoils: Escalating, Nuclear or Zombie
Reinforcements: Parachute or Unlimited
Special Gameplay: MUST HAVE FOG; Trench is optional
Round Length: Casual or speed
Medal Criteria
You need at least 12 points.
Points are scored according to the following criteria:
Joining a game, 1 point
Winning a game, 3 additional points
The settings that must be present are Thailand, 4 Players Standard, Fog, Freestyle
Please double check and make sure you have all these settings set.
Settings not allowed are No Spoils, Flat Rate, Chained, Adjacent, No Reinforcements
The other settings are open. Round Limits are not mandatory, but are recommended to make sure all games finish on time.
Games can finish up to one week after the end of the month.
- Games must start between CC Time: 2014-02-01 00:00:00 and CC Time: 2014-03-01 00:00:00 to be considered for the Challenge.
- Any issues will be solved by me, DoomYoshi and my word is final.
I (DoomYoshi) would like to note that I am not attempting to trivialize the very real problems Thailand is facing today. In the United States and Canada we are blessed to have a stable government. Even Mexico is doing better now with their new handsome president. I am hoping that by featuring this issue, it will help to bring awareness but in a fun way. It bothers me that even today there are countries that can't do an election correctly. Madagascar, China, Turkey... the problem is global.

It seems like every day we read of a website that has been hacked, and had its users' login details leaked. One of my favorite services, LastPass, now offers a service to help you discover if your information was leaked by a website. The service, LastPass Sentry, uses PwnedList to monitor whether your credentials have been stolen.
PwnedList finds and aggregates leaks as they occur, and currently has a database of 24 million publicly leaked usernames and passwords. LastPass Sentry performs a daily check of this service, and notifies you if your email address is on the list.
Right now, LastPass Sentry only works with the email address you use to log in to LastPass, but LastPass has plans to integrate the service into the LastPass Security Challenge, so a check can be performed of the entirety of your stored data.
If for some reason you don't want LastPass to perform this check, you can opt out. Would you use it?

Coffee Secrets
We are an Australian award winning coffee roasting company that is preparing to distribute our coffee beans nationally across Australia. We import beans from all over the world, carefully blend them & then roast them by hand. We seriously love coffee & all facets of the coffee industry. We are a team of dedicated caffeine nuts that are trying to bring great coffee to the masses.
Because we are a roaster/distributor our brand & packaging has to appeal to Restaurant & Cafe owners as well as the general public. The brand image that you create for the packaging must also be able to translate to use on cups, aprons, banners, umbrellas etc. The brand image you create has to appeal to our clients & be something they are proud to display in their stores.
Our packaging & brand image needs to have an upmarket feel as we provide a premium product & charge in the upper tier for our coffee, so our image needs to reflect this value.
The brand image that you design has to be able to look great in all sizes & on various mediums. The brand image needs to look great not just on the coffee bean packaging but also on business cards, cups, umbrellas & banners.
The image you create for us needs to be BOLD & MEMORABLE. We are moving into a crowded marketplace & want a brand image that people will easily be able to distinguish from a distance.
The brand image needs to be somewhat charming but also reflect a big corporation, national brand feel.
The brand image needs to reflect a little bit of olde world charm but also be innovative & modern as this is how our company intends to stand out in the marketplace. We are the first roasters in Australia to nitrogen pack coffee & are currently patenting our own coffee machine that will put an end to burnt, bitter bad tasting coffee for ever.
The images you create need to be in a vector format with all layers.
Thanks & good luck. WE CANT WAIT TO SEE ALL YOUR DESIGNS =)

This was my second day at Convergence.
Our first event of the day was led by Mary, at the Sandbox. The sandbox is a room set aside for hands-on activities — a lot of it is for kids, but some of the events are for adults, too, and some (like this one) are for both. She explained a little bit about owl behavior: they swallow their prey whole, mostly, and digest the tasty bits, and then regurgitate the undigestible stuff (fur and bones) into a pellet they puke out onto the ground. And then people collect these things and study them. So we had about 40 people of various ages in the room, each given a disgusting owl pellet, sharp sticks and forceps, a hand lens, and a guide to identifying the remains of the victims, and they went at it. Everyone was engrossed in it — we had to actually kick people out at the end of our hour so the next event could get started.
I later sat on a panel with Brianne Bilyeu, Laura Okagaki, me, Melissa Kaercher, and Greg Laden to talk about "Grosser than fiction". Packing the panel with people who all had a biology background was a good idea — my discipline really has the most disgusting stories to tell. We first talked about exactly what this "disgust" thing is; it's a feeling that clearly has a biological foundation, but what we find disgusting is culturally shaped. So Greg could talk about African pygmies who'd eat a dead monkey crawling with maggots, because they live in a culture with a lot of food anxiety, in which wasting meat is considered deplorable. Each of us biologists could talk about things we do routinely that others might find revolting, while at the same time there are quite common things we find icky. And then we told stories. I'm sorry, I'm not going to repeat them here. You should have registered for Convergence.
My last panel was "Penises of the Animal Kingdom". This is becoming a bit of a tradition: Skepchickcon always has a session on the biology of sex offered late at night which is always packed and always hilarious. This year we went with penises. Last year it was the female orgasm. Next year, I don't know, give us some ideas. This one was moderated by Desiree Schell, with Bug Girl (You always want Bug on these panels), Sharon Stiteler, Emily Finke, and me. Note that I was the sole penis-haver; last year it was guys with only one female orgasm-haver, so I guess this is another tradition. We showed pictures. We talked about outre penises. I talked about how penises are not as necessary as you think, and many animals don't bother with them.
These sessions are always about good teaching, too, which is what I enjoy most about them. There is a tremendous amount of audience participation — we got nonstop questions and suggestions, which is how I wish all my classes worked. An enthusiastic audience asking excited questions about biology? Professorial nirvana. I have heard some complaints from people that they go to panels to hear the experts up front, but I think the best learning experience in the world is to get a lot of intense back-and-forth between students and teachers.
OK, and then back to our party room. This partnership with the Skepchicks is working out well: they had Amanda Marcotte DJing again, their room was full of loud music and people dancing, and the FtB room was a few decibels quieter and at least 10° cooler. Get it all, right there in two rooms!
It goes on today. I only have two events this time, but often Saturday night is the wildest evening for the parties. It's not too late, come on out!

MUTEK.ES Previews: Getting to Know… Lucrecia Dalt
Performing at A/Visions 1: Livesoundtracks, Sala Apolo // February 8th
Teresa Vallbona - 17 de enero de 2012
photo by Catalina Pérez
Lucrecia Dalt creates a whimsical, star-spangled indie-electronic experience that blurs old-fashioned distinctions between studio and stage, performing and recording. Cooking up late-night lullabies with a finely tuned setup of guitar, laptop, bass, voice and percussion that ranges from floor toms to kitchen chairs and programmed beats, she's not content with just hitting play on a bunch of loops. As a result, her songs keep evolving over time, gaining experiences as well as changing moods and surroundings finding their way into the music.
Having moved to Barcelona from Medellin, Colombia, she has kept refining her approach – sometimes with a live drummer or a backdrop of visuals thrown into the equation – while always keeping tight control of her output. So after contributions to the third 4 Women No Cry EP, curated by Gudrun Gut for Monika Enterprise, she set up her own label, Pruna Recordings, for her debut album, Congost.
Lucrecia Dalt will perform at the A/Visions 1: Livesoundtracks, alongside Vladislav Delay on Wednesday, February 8th, at Sala Apolo.
TV: Portable guitar, percussion and midi controllers. Sometimes we talk about your music as a mix of indie and electronics. How would you define your work? Is it more electronic, more indie, or is it a mix?
LD: Categorizations have always come from outside, I prefer that the music finds its place and speaks for itself without them. I like to embrace change, I like to generate new questions each time I work on new music. Lately my work is an exploration of states of mind, trying to turn sensations into music and create mental images through my lyrics.
TV: Your songs often incorporate experiences and environments. Where do the sounds come from?
LD: This has been changing over time, before the environment was more evident, or let's say the inspiration came almost directly from it. Now my work is built around the mental structures formed while mapping the input I have: movies, images, texts, relationships. I like to generate a content with a provocative twist, making you doubt how serious am I about it, both through the music and the lyrics.
TV: In 2010, you participated in the Red Bull Music Academy. What did it mean professionally to pass through the academy?
LD: The academy is an incredible experience, an unexpected amount of knowledge. To get to know that many talented people and their experience in music, is certainly the best school someone can have because it helps to structure or restructure, create new concepts, new ways of making music, and also to find new personalities you never knew you had. Is 15 days to expand your limits, exposed constantly to extremely valuable information and to collaborate with very talented people.
TV: In 2009, you published Congost on your own label, Pruna Recording. Are you working on a new album?
LD: Yes, a few weeks ago I finished recording my new album. Some things still have to be defined about the release but I can say this should be around March/April. The concept of the album develops around Agitation, both on internal and external levels, in a way is a compilation of "wake up calls" made with melodies that could sometimes remind bolero or exotica music and rhythms.
TV: Tell us about your performance at MUTEK.ES. What should the crowd expect?
LD: I will participate in the festival as part of the LiveSountracks project (A/Visions 1). This means it will be a special presentation, an atypical concert. Is a soundtrack I'll perform live based on some images of the german director Werner Herzog that really moved me when I first saw them. Following the criteria "Wake up, the world belongs to us" proposed by the project director Anna Mastrolitto, I chose a documentary that explores images of the devastated oil fields after the first Gulf War, decontextualized in such a way as to emphasize the terrain's cataclysmic strangeness as if it was perspective of an almost alien observer. I am preparing a soundtrack in which I use electric guitar, bass, vocals and some drum lines, progressively recorded real time. It's a very exciting project!

Frozen pipes?: Torch the pipe, not the house
Speedy Rooter Plumbing
Q. I am worried about frozen pipes this winter– how do I thaw my pipes during the winter chill?
A. If you have a crawl space, you need to take precautions to keep pipes from freezing in the first place. Most basements are heated. Very seldom do pipes freeze in basements.
For crawl space homes, your first step as winter approaches is to shut off the air vents from the outside– this keeps the air circulating. If you forget to shut these off, cold air will come in and freeze the pipes.
Also, if possible, cloak your main water shut-off valve with electrical heat tape. The main shut-off comes up from the ground into the house– just wrap tape around this pipe.
Another tip for winter is to leave a couple of faucets dripping. At cold temperatures (under 30 degrees), keep any faucet on, especially if the house is not well insulated– this keeps the water moving through the pipes.
If these precautions fail and you have no water coming into your house, there are a few ways to thaw the frozen pipes.
Before even thinking about thawing, close the main shut-off. Copper pipes will swell up and split if you leave the valve on. With split pipes, the thawing process will result in a deluge.
One way not to thaw is to stick a kerosene heater underneath the house. One homeowner decided kerosene would heat the pipes, but instead it set the house on fire. He opened the crawl space, set the heater under there, and let it burn for days. Once it ran out of fuel, the heater began to shoot out sparks and flames, and eventually ignited the insulation. Unfortunately, the whole house burned down.
Moral of the story: under no circumstance should you put any fire underneath the house for extended periods of time.
There are two options for thawing pipes. You can put a space heater underneath the crawl space, or we (a plumber) can torch the pipe where it comes in. We move the torch back and forth on the valve to thaw out the pipe.
For frozen pipes, homeowners may want to suck it up and hire a plumber. Homeowners usually put too much heat on the pipes and end up doing damage. When you melt the pipe, a replacement is necessary because water will go everywhere.
If the torch doesn't work, you may have to wait until warmer temperatures come back and the pipes thaw naturally.

Sangria -- inexpensive wine plus other ingredients such as fruit juice, fresh fruit, liquor (rum, triple sec, schnapps), sparkling wine, simple syrup or lemon-lime soda -- is a casual beverage, suitable for large groups and outdoor dining, and can be made without a lot of fuss.
When Teresa Meyer DeStasio of Springfield, Ill., was invited recently to an outdoor dinner at the home of friends, she provided sangria to accompany the menu of tacos and Spanish rice."It's fruity, not too sweet and very refreshing," said DeStasio, who brought the ingredients with her and mixed them in a punch bowl when she arrived. That's the beauty of sangria — inexpensive wine plus other ingredients such as fruit juice, fresh fruit, liquor (rum, triple sec, schnapps), sparkling wine, simple syrup or lemon-lime soda. It's a casual beverage, suitable for large groups and outdoor dining, and can be made without a lot of fuss. "As a mixologist, I am really careful about measuring ingredients, but sangria breaks all the rules. It's kind of hard to make a bad one," said Kim Haasarud, Los Angeles-based author of "101 Sangrias & Pitcher Drinks." "It's basically a punch that is wine-based. You can use seasonal ingredients, it's easy to make, it's something you can make in advance, you can use juices you have in your refrigerator and it doesn't have to be expensive," said Haasarud, a beverage consultant who creates specialty drinks for restaurants. With roots in Spain and Portugal, classic sangria ("blood" in Spanish) is made with red wine, but white wine yields a variation known as white sangria. Haasarud recommends using hearty red wines such as rioja, syrah, cabernet or chianti, "something that stands up to the ingredients." For white sangria, she suggests a dry white such as pinot grigio or sauvignon blanc. "Look for a bottle in the $10 range. You don't want to use expensive wine. What makes fine wine so wonderful is its subtleties. When you mix it with juices, you lose those subtleties," she said. Keep sangria in the refrigerator to preserve freshness. It should be served over ice, but don't add the cubes until right before serving or the drink can become too diluted. Fresh fruit adds flavor and eye appeal to sangria. Haasarud suggests cutting it in a variety of shapes and sizes, to "show off the fruit at its best." Try slicing lemons, limes and oranges in wheels or half-wheels. Cube apricots, peaches, apples and mangoes. Using a mini cookie cutter, make pineapples and kiwi into stars. Don't forget to pop in small fruits like grapes, cherries and berries. More sangria advice from Haasarud: -- Make it in a glass pitcher to show off the vibrant colors of the liquid and fruit pieces. -- Try topping it off at the last minute with sparkling wine or lemon-lime soda. -- Make it the night before, if possible, so flavors can blend. If you have to make it at the last minute, slightly mash the fruit ever so gently until the pieces start to bleed into the wine. ("You don't want a pulpy mess.") -- Know that sangria gets sweeter the longer it sits. -- Serve it year-round. In the fall, make it with pomegranates, cranberry juice or apple cider. DeStasio concocted her own sangria recipe after sampling different types. "Taste it as you go along," she advised. "You don't want to put in too much ginger ale or too much peach schnapps." Teresa's Sangria From Teresa Meyer DeStasio - 1.5-liter bottle cabernet sauvignon/merlot blend wine (such as Frontera concha y toro) - 2 (1-liter) bottles ginger ale (or use equivalent in lemon-lime soda) - 1 jar stemless maraschino cherries, including juice - 2 to 3 cups frozen peach slices - Slices of orange, lemon, lime - Peach schnapps, to taste (approximately ½ cup) Mix all of the ingredients in a large punch bowl. The cherries and peach schnapps really help sweeten it. The frozen peaches help chill it. Ladle into large cups. Add ice if desired. Makes about 4 quarts. Traditional Sangria From Elaine Wilkinson of Springfield, Ill. - 2 bottles chilled dry red wine (such as Spanish rioja) - 1 cup brandy - 1 cup orange juice - 1/4 cup sugar - 2 oranges, sliced into rounds - 2 Meyer lemons, sliced thin - 2 apples, cut into 1/2-inch chunks Mix and refrigerate for 1 hour everything except club soda. Before serving, add 2 cups club soda. Pour into tall stemmed glass. Note: 1 or 2 fresh raspberries can be added to each glass as a garnish. Makes about 4 quarts. Spanish Sangria From "101 Sangrias & Pitcher Drinks" - 1 bottle Spanish red wine - 1/4 cup cognac - 1/4 cup orange curacao - 1/4 cup simple syrup (see note) - 2 oranges, cut into half-wheels2 peaches, cut into cubes - 2 lemons, cut into half-wheels Place all ingredients in a large glass or ceramic container and stir will. Cover and refrigerate at least 4 hours. Serve over ice in rocks glasses. Garnish with additional fruit if desired. Note: To make simple syrup, combine 1/4 cup sugar and 1/4 cup hot water in a small bowl or other container. Stir or shake until completely dissolved. Let cool completely before using. Store in refrigerator if not using immediately. Makes about 6 servings. White Sangria From www.RecipeTips.com - 1/2 cup hot water - 1/2 cup sugar - 1 (750-mililiter) bottle white wine - 1 lime, cut in slices - 1 orange, cut in slices - 3/4 cup brandy (optional) - 2 cups club soda, chilled - Cracked or cubed ice - 1/2 cup raspberries - Mint leaves for garnish Heat water and sugar until sugar dissolves and then allow the liquid to cool to room temperature. Add wine, fruit slices and brandy, if desired. Add the club soda right before serving. Pour each serving over ice and garnish with several fresh raspberries and a sprig of mint when ready to serve. Makes about 6 servings. Summer Melon Sangria From "101 Sangrias & Pitcher Drinks" - 1 bottle dry white wine (such as dry riesling) - 3 teaspoons Midori melon liqueur - 2 cups peeled, seeded and cubed fresh watermelon - 2 kiwis, peeled and sliced - 1 lime, thinly sliced - 1/4 cup sugar Combine all ingredients in a pitcher and stir, crushing some of the fruit with a spoon. Cover and refrigerate at least 12 hours or overnight to let the flavors marry before serving. Use within 4 days of making. Serve over ice, including some of the fruit. Makes about 6 servings. Ambrosia Sangria From "101 Sangrias & Pitcher Drinks" - 1 bottle dry white wine - 3/4 cup coconut rum - 1/4 cup vanilla syrup (such as Monin) - 1 peach, pitted and sliced - 1 orange, cut into half-wheels - 1 cup pineapple chunks - 1/2 cup black cherries, pitted and cut in half - 7-Up, as needed (optional) Combine all of the ingredients except the 7-Up in a large ceramic or glass container and stir well.

THERE are both good and bad things about the end of the financial year.
Let's get the bad part out of the way first: all that paperwork.
Revisiting all your expenditure, tallying up receipts, trying to remember where you were and what you bought on August 26 last year...it can be a headache.
However there is a good side to getting your finances in order. It will reveal opportunities where you can start to make savings.
You'll be surprised at how quickly apparently small savings here and there can add up to a substantial amount.
Maybe even enough for a weekend away? Why not – you deserve a treat for taking the time to improve your finances.
Your mobile phone account may not readily spring to mind as a savings opportunity, but if you compare your last few bills with the plan you are on, you might see that what you're paying does not reflect how you actually use your phone.
"We are able to help many people who are still paying for data and cost per call," Pennytel CEO Rene Sugo said. Pennytel is a mobile service provider which specialises in supporting older customers.
"If you pay a fixed cost for your mobile service – one that includes unlimited standard calls and texts and a set amount of data – this makes it very easy for you to stick to a budget next year, and you can choose a plan that better suits your usage," he said.
One area where it is easy to bust your budget is mobile data, especially as some providers automatically add extra data. Avoid bill shock by tracking your data usage – for example Pennytel provides a mobile app to do this, and you control if you want extra data.
And there's also another good thing about the end of the financial year: the opportunity to snap up a bargain. It's not just furniture, clothing and electronics where you can save around June 30, but on mobile plans as well.
"Pennytel is currently offering one month free as part of our EOFY celebration," Mr Sugo said. Simply use the promo code EOFY2018 when you place your order.
"And not only that, you will not be locked-in to a contract, so it's a great opportunity to test our service and be in for a pleasant surprise.
"Plus, our plans are flexible so you can change your plan at any time without penalties or fees. So if you need more or less data, or if a new plan is released that suits you better, simply swap."
Make it your new financial year resolution to get better value from your mobile phone plan by calling 1300 232 888 or jump online and visit pennytel.com.au.
And don't forget to send a postcard.

Recipient: Charles H. Wright Museum of African American History
Grant: 2007 Museum Grants for African American History and Culture

New Archives and Library Catalog
The Charles H. Wright Museum of African American History in Detroit, the world's largest institution dedicated to the African American experience, holds a collection of more than 30,000 artifacts and archival materials. African textiles and sculptures, items from the diaspora, Malcolm X's papers, fine art, music recordings, and many manuscripts, books, and photographs are housed in a facility the size of two football fields. However, before 2007, nobody knew for certain what was in the collection or where each item was located, in large part because the museum lacked a professional archivist. Access to the archives was by appointment only.
In 2006, Juanita Moore was hired as the museum's president and immediately began upgrading the museum's capacity to serve the community. Among the first projects that she and her staff proposed was the Archives Professional Capacity Project, in which the museum would hire a full-time archivist, provide professional development for the archivist's assistants, organize the archives, and improve access to them.
In August 2007, the museum received a one-year, $106,318 Museum Grant for African American History and Culture from IMLS for the project. The Whitney Fund and the Ford Foundation both provided matching funds.
Building a Foundation
To kick off the project, Bob Smith, the museum's director of curatorial and archives, hired three consultants to assess the archives' conservation needs. Then, in October 2007, the museum hired archivist Alexis Braun Marks. She met with the consultants, made her own assessment, and developed a plan in early 2008 to carry out the project's objectives. Among her highest priorities were to organize the collection and establish basic policies and procedures for handling and processing items. There really was no foundation, so my role was to create some foundational structure and then to lead everybody through the process and be the consummate cheerleader," Marks explained.
When she arrived, Marks found gaps in what had been processed. For example, there was a card catalog, but many books did not have spine labels, and nothing was on the shelves in order. There was no reliable inventory for any of the collections.
"There were no finding aids and there was a lot of record keeping that had sort of gone by the wayside, and so it was like looking at a once beautiful home that had clearly fallen into disrepair," said Marks.
Marks served as project director and trained the two assistants who were transferred to her department. Matching funds paid for one assistant to enroll in Wayne State University's Graduate School of Library Science to get more education in archival administration. Marks also hired two part-time paid interns from Wayne State's School of Library Science—one for cataloging and one for processing.
The team began by revising and setting procedural standards. They also began using three separate software programs to manage print resources and track equipment and materials that were checked out.
"Part of the problem with the profession as a whole is that there's no one good database that does everything that you need it to do. So a lot of repositories end up using multiple systems," said Marks.
Marks also expanded the museum's relationship with Wayne State, which now sends many of its library science graduate students to do their processing practica at the museum. During the project, four students completed a 40-hour practicum at the museum; two of them stayed on as volunteers.
To make more materials available online, the team began a photographic scanning project, supported by a new scanning practicum at the university. As many as 25 students per semester helped to chip away at the collection's thousands of photographs.
The museum also forged a partnership with the Detroit Academy of Arts and Sciences' community outreach program, which led to two high school seniors volunteering in the archives to earn their community service hours.
Organizing Makes an Impact
During the project, the archives team conserved or preserved 472 collection items and gave 3,472 items new or enhanced accessibility, including 3,179 items that were made accessible to non-museum staff for the first time.
The staff now has an understanding of all archival content and where each box of a collection is located. Marks' team also revamped the rare books collection and discovered some collections that had been forgotten.
One rare book the staff found unlabeled on a shelf was a first edition of The Dream Keeper, by Langston Hughes, who signed it on a visit to Detroit in 1941.
The team also created a complete accession record for the manuscript and photograph collections and cataloged 95 percent of the archives' published materials, which are now in the online catalog. In addition, the library, archives, and research center are now open to the public four days a week.
Internally, the archives' reorganization has been a boon for museum staff. "People know they can now come to us and get information," said Marks. "Everything that's in our online catalog is on the shelf, it has a label, we know where it is, and we can retrieve it quickly."
In addition, the archives can now help the museum produce original exhibits. Before the project, the museum primarily rented exhibits, but in 2009 it created three of its own, including one about world champion boxer and Detroit native Joe Louis. The archives gathered relevant items from the collection for the curator and designer and performed photo research. "If the archives were not functional, we would not have been able to do that exhibit," said Smith.
Externally, the revamped archives have benefitted visitors, researchers, and item donors. More researchers are coming in and more people are willing to donate artifacts and papers, whereas before the project, people were less comfortable with the idea of giving their collections to the museum.
The changes have also reassured previous donors, because they can see progress being made as the practicum students help process the backlog of donated items.
Challenges and Lessons Learned
Although the entire project was one huge challenge, maintaining momentum while trying to meet a tight deadline proved to be particularly daunting.
"In archives, there is the predisposition to slow down and linger over documents," noted Marks. "As I tell my practicum students and volunteers and interns, don't get bogged down. I don't want to catch you reading anything, except for the general content. It was definitely a challenge to keep people moving forward."
For those considering similar projects, Marks advises taking time to plan, if possible. "Looking back, I would have done probably a museum-wide survey of records, because people had stuff at their desks and in closets. A lot of that's institutional, but really give yourself a month or a little bit more to really sit back and survey and plan."
The Work Continues
In May 2009 after the grant period ended, the team launched a Virtual Archives and Exhibitions Web site. It features online collections and exhibits, as well as links to the image collection and the museum's library catalog.
The archives staff continue to arrange and describe collections, catalog published materials, and gain better intellectual control over their holdings. They have processed the entire photograph collection, and each picture has a finding aid and is in the Archivists' Toolkit database.
"My hope is to have, by the end of next year [2010], all of our finding aids for completed collections in the database and online for researchers," said Marks. "From there we'll just keep processing as best we can. I think it will be some time before we're finished."

Sweet American Ground….
kball11 December 31st, 2009
First thing's first: Aren't we all amazed at my ability to post a blog two weeks after I said I would? Oops. Turns out being back in the US combined with a good bit of my extended family being at my house was a little more overwhelming than I thought it would be. Writing this two weeks later actually turns out to be a bit better, as I now have a little bit of perspective on reverse culture shock (pretty sure a blog two weeks earlier would have just focused on how jet-lagged I was and that I kept getting up at 5 am).
The bus ride to the airport was…. eventful. We left Vladimir between 4:30 am and 5:00 am in the morning (don't ask me, that's too early for me to function) in about -30 degrees Celsius. In a bus with a mediocre heating system at best. It was cold. Very cold.
In our almost 5 hour journey to Moscow, we had one pit stop. What did our teachers do in this -30 weather? They bought ice cream. I'm still trying to recover from the shock of that one….
The most interesting part of our journey to the airport; however, was getting the bus to the airport itself. The drop-off zone for this airport was not the most organized I've seen in my life, on top of very pushy traffic. The bus had to go through a gate with a mechanical arm in order to get that parking ticket that they give out at every airport. Our bus driver decides to go through the gate to the far right…. Immediately before the road veered sharply left (not a turn I could envision our bus doing comfortably in even the most ideal of circumstances). And of course, there is a car parked, sans driver, right in our way.
So our bus driver manages to pull the bus forward only about halfway through the gate and begins to lay on the horn…. To no avail. All the while the mechanical arm, desperate to do it's job, keeps hitting the roof of the bus as it's trying to go down. After a few moments, our bus driver exits the bus to go hail a policeman (who has been watching the escapade from a distance). Keep in mind it's -30 plus windchill, this man is BUNDLED UP. The policeman walks over to the obstructing vehicle, looks at it… And that's it. He continues to look, to the left, to the right behind him… As if this would magically fix the problem and appease both our bus driver and the line of angry traffic stuck behind our bus.
Finally the owner of the offending vehicle comes running out and quickly drives away before anyone can do anything about his parking offense. Our slightly appeased driver maneuvers the bus so we are now parallel to the airport, but decides that pulling up along the curb to drop us off would be all to easy. So he decides to pull a u-turn in order to drop us off on the other side of the street. So we can lug our stuff across eight lanes of already irritated Moscow traffic.
In order to do this; however, our bus driver had to pull the bus through a rather tight hole in the barrier separating the directions of traffic. Ever the go-getter, he proceeds to pull the bus across FOUR LANES of angry traffic, only to realize he can't quite pull the bus through the barrier. So, he puts the bus in park, exits the bus, makes an angry gesture at the four lanes of honking traffic he has blocked and proceeds to move the barrier himself. Having satisfied himself that there is now enough room for the bus to pass through, he makes more gestures at the traffic, gets back on, and drives through, the entire time muttering, "I hate the airport… I HATE the airport." Does he move the barrier back once we're parked? No.
Other than that, our journey home was relatively uneventful (nothing like 42 hours of travel to make you appreciate being home in sweet, sweet California).
I had initially thought that being home wouldn't be a challenge at all, but the first week especially was pretty tough. Not that it's a surprise, but I'm still amazed at the amount we consume. My first day here my father took me to the local drugstore, I found my feet firmly glued to the entrance as I just stared at everything. Did you know, in this small drugstore, there were thirty varieties of dish soap? Four different colors, different flavors, grease-cutting, moisturizing…. All this for dish soap? Wow. That being said, I do enjoy having variety back in my life.
I'm finding that I've become very pushy on the street (I think it dawned on me at the museum the other day when I found myself trying to navigate through a group of sugar-happy six year olds). People here are also so much friendlier on the street, I've had random strangers say Merry Christmas (that may just be my strange town)!
All in all, I am very happy to go home, but I wouldn't trade that semester for the world. That being said, if you were to offer me a plane ticket back to Russia, I wouldn't just jump at the opportunity, I'd probably have to think about it for a little bit. And don't worry Russia, I'll be back.
I hope you all are enjoying the holidays, and Happy Almost New Year!
We will close to a small tribute to my dear, dear Vladimir….
Mind you this was taken at a point in time where the hood to my coat had frozen….. Makes the Golden Gates look good though.

Editors at the gossip website Gawker said Friday they're not complying with a Florida court order to remove material related to a privacy lawsuit involving former pro wrestler Hulk Hogan.
Pinellas County Judge Pamela A.M. Campbell issued an order Wednesday. It tells Gawker to remove a video of Hogan, whose real name is Terry Bollea, having sex with the ex-wife of disc jockey Bubba the Love Sponge Clem, as well as a 1,400-word narrative and hundreds of user-submitted comments.
The site took down the video, but the narrative and comments remain ( https://bit.ly/182htvE ).
Gawker's attorney, Gregg Thomas, says the order infringes on the website's First Amendment rights ( https://bit.ly/182jiZv ).
Hogan's attorney, Charles J. Harder, told The Associated Press he's filing a motion asking the judge to find Gawker in civil contempt of court and impose sanctions.
Hogan settled a similar lawsuit against Clem last year for an undisclosed amount. In both lawsuits, Hogan claimed that he had consensual sex with his then-best friend's wife, Heather Clem, several years ago in the Clemses' home, but he did not know he was being secretly recorded. The video was posted on Gawker, though it wasn't clear who gave Gawker the video.
Bubba the Love Sponge Clem publicly apologized to Hogan, saying he's convinced the ex-wrestler with the long blond hair was unaware he was being filmed. It's not clear whether the men reconciled. The Clemses have since divorced.
It is illegal in Florida to record someone without their permission, but Hogan waited too long to file criminal charges.

The three-level, mansion-like space of The Estate House (7134 E. Stetson Dr., Ste. 200; 480-970-4099)
Chef Osso's menu is contemporary American with influences from Italy, France, the Mediterranean and Asia.
This downtown Scottsdale district stretches along the south side of the revamped Arizona Canal on west Stetson?Drive. The creation of developer Fred Unger, Southbridge is a $41 million urban, pedestrian-friendly development notable?because it only has independently-owned boutiques and restaurants; there are no chains. Along with the Scottsdale Waterfront, it is one of the newest downtown Scottsdale revitalization projects. Although it is only 3 acres, Southbridge packs a lot into a few blocks. Part of the Southbridge Scottsdale district overlooks the Waterfront?park, its tree-lined sidewalks and open air courtyards give it a European flair. The Southbridge Scottsdale retail area is called The Mix. This bi-level center is an eclectic collection of shops.

West Virginia Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin is asking coal companies to halt production for an hour to review safety procedures following the state's fourth mining fatality in two weeks and the sixth since November.
Tomblin signed an executive order urging mine operators to hold safety talks with employees over the next 24 hours, starting Wednesday afternoon. Inspectors and mine safety officials plan to visit about 500 mines.
In April 2010, an explosion at Massey Energy's Upper Big Branch mine killed 29 men and former Gov. Joe Manchin ordered a similar temporary stop in production. He also ordered one in 2006.
The request came after a worker was struck by a scoop Tuesday night and died of his injuries. The death at Pocahontas Coal Co.'s Affinity mine near Sophia was its second this month. The mine faces several safety violations.

John P. Napolitano's weekly Making Cents column.
Here's the setup: A relative or close friend asks you to co-sign a loan, vowing that he will repay the note in full and on time. The assurances continue as your buddy promises you will never be put in the position of taking over the loan due to default. You're just about to sign but that word ''default'' has you concerned - and you have every right to be. There are several risks you need to know about co-signing a loan and measures to take for protection should that ''never miss a payment'' pal renege on promises.
Co-signing a loan amounts to your agreeing to guarantee a debt. If the borrower doesn't make payments, then guess who has to take on the financial responsibility? You.
Before you commit to co-signing a loan, make sure you can afford to repay not only the debt but attached late fees or collection costs. A creditor can collect a debt from you without first trying to get payment from the borrower. A creditor can also use the same collection measures against you - and that includes suing you and garnishing your wages.
How do you think those actions will look on your credit record? Keep in mind that even if you are not asked to repay the debt, your liability for the loan could prevent you from obtaining other credit. One more thing: You could lose any property you pledged against the loan.
I know, you're thinking that you won't be left holding the bag, but - and this is directly from the Better Business Bureau - some studies indicate that as many as three out of four co-signers are asked to repay a loan. Your relative or friend may have every good intention of making good on the loan, but intentions can fall short.
If you do agree to be a co-signer, take a few measures for protection. Try to get the lender to agree in writing that in the event of default on the borrower's part, you will be responsible for the principal balance of the loan only. This will protect you against any legal fees if the lender ends up suing for payment. You can also ask the lender to notify you if the borrower is late with payments.
You'll also want to have copies of all loan paperwork. If you can't get the documents from the lender, have the borrower make you copies. Before you co-sign a loan, make sure you know the type of loan, its purpose and, perhaps most importantly, its terms.
Certainly, there are circumstances when co-signing a loan makes sense, such as establishing credit for your children. But even then, you must be sure you can afford to pay the loan.

In this edition of Thinking Out Loud, Joan starts the ball rolling by reflecting that she still views the start of the new school year as the start of her new year, with thoughts of what she wants to learn and what she wants to achieve. Both George and Joan have lots of ideas for what they want to learn themselves, and what they would like the library world to think about learning and exploring in this new school year.
One of the things that Joan wants to learn about this year is http://www.scvngr.com/. As she says, it's gaming meets consumerism.
What are you looking forward to learning in this new school year?

I really am going back to (virtual) school! This week I started my second class in ALA's Certified Public Library Administrator program. In the summer I took Technology Management; this fall it's budgeting. So far my experience in the program has been excellent - I highly recommend it to others.

|Clinic Description
REGISTRATION WILL CLOSE AT 11:00AM MST ON WEDNESDAY, November 14th, 2018
All contact teams require an active Level 200 Coach to be in compliance with USA Rugby.
The Level 200 Coach Certification consists of online pre-course work and attendance at an in-person clinic. The course structure helps to blend the "how to coach" theory with the practical implementation of player centered coaching Rugby.
The Level 200 Coach Certification is an introductory coaching clinic, which focuses on player welfare and the technical skills to play safely – specifically the tackle and the scrum. The assessment requires coaches to demonstrate effective coaching techniques, taught in the course. These techniques include teaching through games, technical skill development through progressions, and collaborative coaching. This course is suitable for all experience levels and will likely comprise a mix of veteran players/coaches and those new to the game – each benefitting from a free exchange of ideas/experience.
What do I have to do to complete the Level 200?
1. Complete the Level 100: World Rugby - Rugby Ready (click here) (and email to email@example.com)
***You will not be able to register for the clinic until the Level 100 Rugby Ready Certificate has been added to your account**
2. Complete the Level 200 online pre-course work (click here) – essential if you're relatively new to the sport.
3. Attend the 1 day in person Level 200 clinic and demonstrate all course competencies.
