A Romantic Wedding in Rancho Victoria Vineyard in Plymouth, California
Samantha Kirk photography
Marina Goretoy (25 and an office manager) met Vazgen Dallakyan (26 and a personal trainer) when they were teenagers working at a supermarket. Although they come from different backgrounds—Marina's family has roots in Russia and Vazgen is Armenian—their wedding at Rancho Victoria Vineyard, east of Sacramento, California, was a romantic, elegant celebration of their cultures in a naturally impressive setting. "We chose Rancho Victoria because of the beautiful rolling hills and its distance from the city," Marina says. "It reminded me of a little cottage tucked away with an incredible view." An elegant color scheme of deep crimson, slate gray, gold and soft pink was paired with lively textures and patterns, from sequins to a stunning black-and-white dance floor.
After a Christian ceremony under a wooden gazebo draped with white curtains, the 200 guests were seated at round golden candelabra-topped tables and served a series of fresh dishes as the evening progressed. "Plated or buffet style wouldn't have worked, since my husband's culture wants weddings to be feasts," Marina says. "We hired a caterer to cook throughout the evening. Every 20 minutes they brought out new dishes, ranging from lamb and fish to kebabs and many other Armenian dishes." At the end of the night, the couple brought guests together on the dance floor to release balloons. "We wanted something everyone could participate in, from kids to our grandparents," Marina says. "The balloon send-off was perfect, and since it was evening we decided to put lights in each one, so they would sparkle in the dark sky." —Carolyn Meers

The question is simply this: Does there exist a (family of) graph $G=(V,E)$ such that $\max_{S\subset V} |E(S,S^c)- \frac{|S||S^C|}{2}|\leq o(n^{3/2})$. Such graphs would be very pseudorandom as the edge density of all their cuts would be extremely close to the expected value if we had picked each edge with probability a half.
Background: As discussed in the following Math-overflow question Max cut value in a random graph, with high probability a random $G(n,\frac{1}{2})$ graph has a cut $(S,S^c)$ with more than $\frac{n^2}{8}+\Omega(n^{3/2})$ edges. This implies that the following max-deviation lower bound: For almost every $G=(V,E)$ we have,
$ \max_{S\subset V} |E(S,S^c)- \frac{|S||S^C|}{2}| = \Omega(n^{3/2})$
This lower bound means that simply by taking a random graph you cannot solve the above problem.
It could be true that the above for amost every graph result actually holds for every graph and this quantity is always $\Omega(n^{3/2})$. A proof of this would be quite interesting and would give evidence to a conjecture that I have in mind.

GREENSBORO -- Plans are being finalized for the inauguration of Thomas W. Ross as the 17th president of the University of North Carolina, the oldest public university in America. The formal ceremony will be held on Thursday, October 6, at 10 a.m. in the Ellis F. Corbett Sports Center on the campus of North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University. The event is open to the public.
The festivities begin at 9:30 a.m. with an academic procession—led by the NC A&T State University Marching Band—that will begin at the New Classroom Academic Building on Bluford Street and proceed to the Corbett Center. Participants will include state and educational leaders, faculty, students, alumni, and other university delegates from across the state and nation. In addition to President Ross's oath of office and inaugural address, the ceremony will include performances by the UNC School of the Arts Orchestra and a 110-member combined choral ensemble comprised of students from NC A&T and the University of North Carolina at Greensboro. A public reception will immediately follow in the nearby NC A&T Alumni-Foundation Event Center.
Free parking for those attending the inauguration will be available at several convenient locations: War Memorial Stadium, Aggie Football Stadium, United House of Prayer for All People, United Institutional Baptist Church, and the Greensboro Coliseum. Continuous shuttle service will run directly between these parking venues and the A&T campus beginning at 7:30 a.m. The last shuttle back to these lots will depart the campus at 3 p.m.
UNC-TV will provide taped coverage of the inaugural ceremony and address beginning at 10 p.m. that evening. Check local listings for the UNC-TV station in your area.
A Greensboro native, Ross became president of the 17-campus University system on January 1 of this year. A graduate of Davidson College and the UNC-Chapel Hill School of Law, he had previously served as president of Davidson since 2007. Earlier in his distinguished career, he served as executive director of the Z. Smith Reynolds Foundation, spent 17 years on the bench as a North Carolina Superior Court judge, and served as director of the NC Administrative Office of the Courts. He also has practiced law, served as a congressional staffer, and served on the faculty of the UNC-Chapel Hill School of Government.
The oldest public university in the nation, the University of North Carolina enrolls more than 220,000 students and encompasses all 16 of North Carolina's public institutions that grant baccalaureate degrees, as well as the NC School of Science and Mathematics, the nation's first public residential high school for gifted students. UNC campuses support a broad array of distinguished liberal-arts programs, two medical schools and one teaching hospital, two law schools, a veterinary school, a school of pharmacy, 11 nursing programs, 15 schools of education, three schools of engineering, and a specialized school for performing artists. The UNC Center for Public Television, with its 11-station statewide broadcast network, is also under the University umbrella.
Additional information about the Inauguration is available on the University of North Carolina website at www.northcarolina.edu/inauguration.

This is an excerpt from Complete Wide Receiver by Jay Norvell.
Making the Catch
Catching the ball outside the framework of the body is an important skill (figure 5.6). One of the biggest benefits to executing the pat-and-go drill every day is that the quarterbacks and receivers learn to throw and catch the ball outside the framework of the body. If players understand this skill, they will finish more big plays down the field over the course of the year. This skill (or lack of it) shows up all the time when teams throw deep. When the quarterback can consistently place the ball away from the defender, more completions will be made. When the receiver learns how to consistently keep his body between the defender and the football, he will either make the big catch or draw a pass interference penalty on his attempt to finish the play.
The back-shoulder throw is one of the most underutilized throws in the game, but the quarterbacks who can throw it effectively can really hurt defenders because it is nearly impossible to defend when thrown properly. The reason the back-shoulder throw is so tough to cover is because it is thrown while the defender has his back turned; he can't see the flight of the ball to defend it. The ball is thrown behind the defender so the offensive player can see it and adjust to it, but the defensive player is late to react. The fact that the defender can't see the ball to react makes this pass almost impossible to cover when executed properly. The pat-and-go drill (page 70) gives quarterbacks and receivers an opportunity to work on these throws daily. Many people work this drill without indicating which specific throws to make. By practicing the specific throws, every player develops the more difficult aspects of the passing game and is able to function at a higher level of execution. The key is to practice the throws on a regular basis. Remember, you get what you emphasize.
Catching the ball on the back hip is my favorite catching skill to drill because it happens so often. Every pass is not perfect; on a crossing route, when the receiver is running across the field on a dead run, the ball is often thrown behind him on his back hip. That receiver has to open his shoulders and his front hip to be able to catch the ball softly in his hands (figure 5.7). This happens often on the football field, and a receiver has to learn how to bend his body to get his hands in position to catch the football.
Spatial awareness is a big part of being an effective receiver. Most complete pass offenses try to attack the whole field, both horizontally and vertically. Some pass patterns are out breaking cuts designed to have the receiver catch the ball on the sideline. These out cuts are timing patterns for the quarterback that are meant to be thrown before the receiver even snaps his head around. The quarterback often throws the ball right on the boundary where no one can make a play on the ball except the offensive receiver. This is where a receiver must become adept at seeing the ball and simultaneously getting his feet down. Working a sideline toe tap is difficult because the player is doing two things at the same time. The receiver is often trying to track a fast-moving ball while running to the sideline, and he must catch the ball while simultaneously making sure that he has his feet clearly in the field of play. In pro football, the receiver must get two feet clearly in the field of play. In college football, only one foot has to be in play when the ball is caught for it to be called a legal catch. When we drill this skill at the college level, we have the players work to get two feet inbounds, because if they can get two feet in, then getting one foot in should be even easier in the game.
The pat-and-go drill is usually done daily as a warm-up with the quarterbacks and the receivers. We typically do it before walk-through or stretch as a drill that enables the quarterbacks and skill players to loosen up. This drill helps the quarterbacks get their arms warm, and it helps the skill players get their legs warm.
Setup: Quarterbacks start in the middle of the field. One quarterback starts on the 5-yard line and works out; the other starts on the 35-yard line and works in toward the goal line. Skill players stand in two lines, one line on the right side of each quarterback. Each line of receivers starts a couple yards outside the hash. There are no defenders in this drill.
Coaching Points: When this drill is done properly, the receiver should always put his body in between the ball and the imaginary defender. This technique will show up later in practice for the quarterback and the receiver on all go balls. This is a critical technique for all downfield balls, and we practice it every day in pat-and-go.

Talking to your kids about sex can be daunting, no matter how close you are. But discussing issues like abstinence, sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), and birth control can help lower teens' risk of an unintended pregnancy or contracting an STD.
The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) supports sex education that includes information about both abstinence and birth control. Research has shown that this information doesn't increase kids' level of sexual activity, but actually promotes and increases the proper use of birth control methods among sexually active teens.
How and when you discuss sex and birth control is up to you. Providing the facts is vital, but it's also wise to tell your kids where you stand. Remember, by approaching these issues like any other health topics, not as something dirty or embarrassing, you increase the odds that your kids will feel comfortable coming to you with any questions and problems. As awkward as it might feel, answer questions honestly. And if you don't know the answers, it's OK to say so, then find out and report back.
If you have questions about how to talk with your son or daughter about sex, consider consulting your child's doctor. Lots of parents find this tough to tackle, and a doctor may offer some helpful perspective.
The intrauterine device (IUD) is a piece of T-shaped plastic, about the size of a quarter, that is placed inside the uterus to prevent pregnancy. Two types of IUDs are available: one is covered with copper, the other releases the hormone progesterone.
The copper-coated IUD primarily prevents pregnancy by not allowing the sperm to fertilize the egg. It may also make it harder for a fertilized egg to implant in the uterus. When an IUD is coated with progesterone, it works in a similar way, but also thickens the cervical mucus and thins the uterine lining. In some cases, it stops ovulation (the release of an egg during the monthly cycle). This prevents sperm from fertilizing the egg and implanting.
One type of progesterone IUD also can be used to help reduce blood flow for girls who have heavy, painful periods (dysmenorrhea).
Both types of IUDs are very effective at preventing pregnancy. Over the course of a year, fewer than 1 out of 100 typical couples using an IUD will have an accidental pregnancy.
The IUD is effective from the time it is put in and it lasts a long time. A copper IUD can stay in place for up to 10 years. Progesterone IUDs can stay in place for 3 to 5 years, depending on the brand. This makes the IUD a good option for women who are not ready to start a family. Even though an IUD can stay in place for a long time, a gynecologist or specialized nurse practitioner can remove it at any time.
The IUD does not protect against sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). Couples who are having sex must always use condoms along with the IUD to protect against STDs.
A doctor or nurse practitioner will check to be sure a girl doesn't have any STDs before putting in an IUD. If a girl gets an IUD put in at the same time she has an infection, it could lead to pelvic inflammatory disease (PID).
Abstinence (not having sex) is the only method that always prevents pregnancy and STDs.
The most common side effects of the IUD include:
Rare problems include:
IUDs are a good birth control option for almost every female. However, IUDs aren't recommended if:
Experts now recommend IUDs as a good birth control option for younger women and teens because they last for many years, require no daily maintenance, and are very effective at preventing pregnancy. A newer type of IUD is smaller and uses a lower dose of progesterone, which may make it a better option for females who have never had a baby.
An IUD must be inserted by a doctor or nurse practitioner. It is often easiest to put an IUD in during a girl's period, but it can be inserted anytime during a girl's cycle as long as she is not pregnant.
Copper IUDs need to be replaced every 10 years, and progesterone IUDs should be replaced every 3-5 years, depending on the brand.
An IUD costs about $500 to $1,000. That doesn't include the cost of having a doctor or nurse practitioner insert and remove it, as well as follow-up visits — these things cost extra. Many health insurance plans cover the costs, and family planning clinics (such as Planned Parenthood) may charge less.
Because an IUD lasts for many years, the cost works out to about the same as monthly birth control methods, such as the Pill or ring.

The Rude Pundit has spent this week on the issue of guns because a crazy son of a bitch took his crazy Mom's crazy guns and shot a bunch of kids a week ago. It just seemed important, you know? Not to concentrate on the mental health aspect, not the "culture," whatever that means, but the guns because it's the guns. This is being written while Wayne LaPierre of the NRA tries to make it about everything but the guns. It's pathetic.
Today, one-week after, he wants to bring it back to the classroom. Beyond the politics, beyond Newtown, teachers of small children had to go back to school and talk to their kids about what happened.
Here is a response to the Sandy Hook shooting sent to the Rude Pundit from a 2nd grade teacher in New York City. You'll forgive her the occasional surges of outrage:
It is a typical morning in my classroom. I stand outside the door, shaking hands with my students as they enter, asking after new baby siblings and cold symptoms, commenting occasionally to my friends that need that morning boost: "We're going to have a great day!" They unpack inside the room and they move purposefully. One student sits at a desk and writes a letter to another, explaining a small grievance. The girls are a little bit more talkative than usual this morning and I don't mind, but I keep my ears tuned like antennae for words I'll need to react to (shooting, Connecticut, killed-- "we'll talk about that in a bit, okay?"). They read our morning message, and it's all about math today and about deciding whether their answer is reasonable.
This is our every day. This room, this space, this group, this teacher- none of it is perfect, but it is ours and it is sacred. Do. Not. Disturb. Amazing learning-type-stuff happening 'round these parts.
Furthermore, I think to myself, as they read and respond to my message-- we are not reasonable.
We are perfectly unreasonable, these kids and me-- as we, day in and day out, exchange a love of learning and love of one another and an understanding between us that I have come to believe can only be found in an elementary school, amongst these smaller-than-you people who are totally wired for learning, and do so with an incredible zest and vigor that it acts as a contagion on even my worst and most exhausted days.
Of course, I have no way of knowing if this was true for the teachers and students at Sandy Hook. Of course this isn't about my class. And sure, I'm "just" a teacher without a firearm to protect myself. Goddammit. What happened a week ago was personal. It paralyzed me at my very core. I am incredibly angry. I am tremendously sad. Yet I am also shamefully, terrifically relieved in this order: "It was not me. It was not my class. Not my kids. It was not anyone I know. It was an isolated incident. We would have been in our math groups, learning about two-digit addition. Where the fuck is the lockdown procedure handbook? We are three floors up, so would we have more warning? Our closet has no doors. I am in the middle of the hallway and directly across from the main office. How far would they fall if I had to toss all 25 of them out the window to safety? (There's a second story roof deck, right?) How long would that take?" The other thought that kept me up? "I'd take a dozen bullets if it meant saving just one of my kids." I humbly beg your understanding: that is not heroic. That is the job. I am, amongst a hundred other things, a protector. I protect them from one another, I protect them from themselves at times, I protect them from the weather, hell, sometimes I even have to protect them from their own parents. Again: that is the job.
Taking a bullet, is, of course, not really the job. But safety sure as hell is. We talk about safety constantly in our school. It is a tagline in our daily life, hitched onto practically everything we (or the kids) do (or don't do). Hold the railing...so you're safe. Eyes forward...so you're safe. Hands to yourself...so your friend is safe. I moved the desks...so you could be safe. I thought when I first started teaching that the "safe" line would lose its juice-- would be somehow devoid of all potency with overuse-- but here's the heartbreaking truth of the matter, and what makes me full-out weep with sorrow every time I think about the shooting:
The "safe" line? It works every time. Well, almost.
Yes. Really. Because kids want to be safe. And they expect you to help them do that. They will tell you, if they did something stupid, that they didn't know any better. And they're generally telling the truth.
Safety is sacred. You know it, and they know it. It's a cause that everyone can agree on.
All this to say that we had to approach this topic with our kids, of course. For safety's sake. I was honestly surprised to learn on Monday morning that some teachers thought it was best not to bring up Newtown unless their students did. They asked about how parents would feel. Some folks were worried about getting asked "too many questions." My m.o. with my kids is always the same: proactivity. Get out in front of issues, before they bloom and spread into a hybrid mess of concerns you hadn't anticipated. I knew we had a chance--a narrow window through which we could help steer this conversation.
How do you turn the incredibly sad, the paralyzing, the absolutely unthinkable into a conversation to be had with seven year olds?
Well, first you start with honesty: "As, I'm sure most of you have heard, something absolutely terrible happened in Connecticut on Friday. Raise your hands if you know what I'm talking about...Yes, it's true that children, teachers and the principal were killed."
"I'm sure you have a lot of questions. And I'll take them, but first I'm going to talk a little."
And then came Mr.Rogers. Thank heavens for Mr.Rogers.
I told the kids exactly what I needed to hear to deal with what had happened: We are safe in our school just as we have always been. We will practice drills to be sure that we are prepared in the case of an emergency, which would be a very unusual circumstance. (lots of nodding)
Then: horrible things will always happen in this world. Sometimes the world can exceed our expectations for being a kind of terrible place. Sometimes those things are designed by nature, like Hurricane Sandy, or the hundreds of other natural disasters that have happened and have killed people and destroyed many lives. Sometimes, horrible things are designed by other people, like wars and bombs and shootings just like this one.
Our job right now is to "look to the helpers," to think about the people in the community who are doing everything they can to support the families who have been effected by such a terribly tragedy. Kind of like how there were a lot of people helping out when people lost their homes and businesses during Hurricane Sandy.
But WHY did he do it, Ms.P?
I know that is the question you all have in your minds. Why would someone do this? How? Lots of people have ideas about why. Honestly, though, only he really knows. And he is gone. Which means we will never know.
For me, now, I could get involved in the gun control debate or the mental health conversation or any choice of the myriad topics available based on my personal connection to the tragedy-- but day by day they become more and more tangential and less a central part of the conversation I'm really interested in having. How do I help my kids understand that they can all be the helpers? Not just to clean up after the horrific messes made by others, but to elevate us all to be better.
As for my girls, they understood. They still feel safe...because they have no idea that I'm considering flinging them from a third story window in the event of an emergency.
Hope springs eternal in my classroom.

And so, it is with major regret that we see our very own Optimus Prime, @saneel, leave the Lab and BBH. Happily he'll be staying in the extended family, launching a soon-to-be-announced innovation offering being incubated at VivaKi. So I guess he has a new world to call home.
Personally, I'm going to miss the magic mix of insanely high-speed processing, megawatt brain and heart, motor mouth and deeply droll, bone-dry sense of humour that is Mr Saneel Radia. There aren't many people who give such volume, value and velocity, whilst staying ice cool under pressure. He'll hate me for saying this, but his final post here shares some useful lessons that demonstrate all of the above.
We wish him all the best. Go well, friend. (Mel, 29.01.13)
Dear BBH,
Well that was a crazy ride, no? From my first day to my last, we've had one of the most unique relationships I can imagine. I should have known I was in for something special when someone I respect as much as Ben recruited me, and about 100 days later said "I have bad news and good news" ('I'm leaving' and 'you're in charge', respectively).
You let me be whoever I wanted to be, and for that I'm eternally grateful. You never questioned me as a strategy lead, an account lead, or a creative lead– even when I kinda questioned myself.What's most awesome is that I was never forced into a particular bucket, but you made me better at all of them because I was surrounded by people (everyone?) who could do it at a whole different level. I mean, pitching creative ideas to people like John and Pelle? Talking brands with Emma and Sarah? Of course I got better at all of it. It'd be impossible not to.
And thanks for being committed to innovation the way you are. In an industry that should be under arrest for assault based on its treatment of that word, this place continues to be a beacon of hope for people with different ideas. Any company that has someone like Mel around is going to have misfits ringing the doorbell daily. I'm just happy someone answered even though I was dressed in bright colors.
Finally, thanks for all of the lessons I'm taking with me as I move on. It's impossible to document them all in a post, but these ring most loudly in my ears as I head off:
Small ideas are kinda hot.
I originally came to BBH because I couldn't think of a place with "bigger" ideas. It turns out my favorite things were the small ideas. Working with interns 10 weeks at a time forces small ideas into greatness. Working with a company like Google, that regularly reminds you how bloated all your shit is (they were right more often than I'd like to admit), forced ideas into their purest form. Or sometimes it's just not having enough time for anything bigger. Regardless, I fell in love with small. Mainly because of how big it can be. (Special thanks to Tim Nolan for aiding me along in this particular journey.)
The volume of noise isn't indicative of the sentiment.
Homeless Hotspots was a media frenzy. There was a full cycle of negativity, then acceptance, then full-blown defense on our behalf. Yet from the beginning to the end, nothing but a positive impact on homelessness ever mattered; for the vast majority of people who care about such a thing (and have spent time with the homeless), their support always outweighed the negativity, no matter how loud the noise got. In fact, there was some genuinely productive, well meaning criticism we adopted as our work with the homeless has continued to evolve. It's easy to see the difference now, but when the volume dial is set quite high, it can be a lot tougher. That's clarity I'll always take forward with me.
The greatest disservice one can do to their team is accepting their shitty work.
I've seen some really good days, and some really bad days in my 3-or-so years here. Almost unilaterally the bad days were the result of people not speaking up (myself included). When they were just too damn polite, or agreeable. Sure, it's awkward sometimes. It's uncomfortable every now and again. And yeah, you have to be able to speak "British" on occasion. But everyone worth a salt would rather make better work than have a good meeting. This is a lesson so many people have learned, but it took being at a place with a culture of mutual, fiery respect for me to truly appreciate it. I'm just glad you would tell me when I was shoveling shit.
With the right carrot, even the weary can be motivated.
It was a weird feeling, helping lead a city-wide effort to recruit LeBron James within weeks of moving here. But there I was, living in corporate housing, bonding with New Yorkers of every socio-economic class to create a movement to bring the world's greatest athlete to the world's greatest city. In the end, the goal was to get notoriously jaded New Yorkers to talk about their beloved city, and by that measure, holy smokes it was successful… even if LeBron took his talents to South Beach. The lesson stayed up north though: for all the user participation nonsense from brands, it's ultimately the right carrot that gets people involved. Keep it simple (and timely), stupid.
Alright, BBH. I won't drag it on any longer. I certainly could. I'm leaving a better, smarter, more creative person than I arrived. That's a transformation I'm really excited about.
And all it took were a thousand sleepless nights and my liver….

To Track or Not to Track? That's Actually Not the Question.
A subcommittee of the House Committee on Energy and Commerce held a hearing last week to consider a proposal, floated in a recent Federal Trade Commission report, for "Do Not Track" legislation aimed at giving Web users greater control over how information about their online activities is collected and used by sites and advertisers. The name is a deliberate reference to the wildly popular "Do Not Call" list, a sort of virtual "No Tresspassing" sign for the telephone, which has spared scores of Americans the annoyance of telemarketers pitching FABULOUS DEALS! and LOW INTEREST RATES! during dinner. Subcommittee Chair Bobby Rush repeatedly invoked the Do Not Call program's success in his opening remarks. And under the headline "Don't Track technology is simple, experts say" USA Today declared that a "Do Not Track" policy for the Internet would be even "simpler and more powerful than Do Not Call."
But as technology researcher Harlan Yu has argued, it's actually a good deal less simple than it sounds—and the analogy to "Do Not Call" may obscure more than it illuminates. The experts consulted by USA Today are right that a Do Not Track policy would, in one respect, be technically simpler to implement than Do Not Call. It would not be necessary—or, indeed feasible—to have some kind of centrally administered list of people who have opted out of tracking. Instead, the idea seems to be that browsers could incorporate a "Do Not Track" mode which, when activated by users, would send a legally enforceable signal to deactivate tracking in the header of all communications, which would be automatically recognized by sites and ad networks.
What's not so simple—as the FTC official who testified at last week's hearing acknowledged—is determining exactly what "tracking" means, who is obligated to listen to the Do Not Track request, and what compliance with it entails. The appeal of a legally enforceable Do Not Track header is that it targets a functional class of behavior rather than any particular technological tracking mechanism, with the goal of ending the "arms race" that characterizes individual efforts by users to safeguard their privacy. So as users learn that they can delete tracking cookies, or block cookies from ad networks using their browser's privacy settings, the advertisers turn to Flash cookies. When users figure that out, the trackers turn to system fingerprinting or history sniffing. How much simpler for users to simply be able to know they can demand not to be tracked without worrying about whether they've anticipated the latest clever method.
There's the rub, though: There are many different kinds of information sites collect when interacting with users—much of which can be used for tracking, but which is also necessary for other purposes. So, for instance, IP addresses are not a particularly good way of tracking users for behavioral marketing purposes—on many networks they're dynamically assigned and change frequently, and a single IP may actually represent many different computers and users behind a NAT firewall. Nevertheless, they often will be relatively persistently identified with a particular user—yet it would be utterly infeasible to suggest that sites be forbidden from maintaining their own server logs, including visitor IPs, for any connection that includes a Do Not Track header. Similarly, while sites can collect information about a user's system configuration for the purpose of "fingerprinting" and tracking, there are lots of other reasons to collect that data—providing browser or OS‐specific functionality or a smoother user experience, diagnosing bugs, and so on.
A browser‐embedded header may be technically simpler than a government‐administered "Do Not Call" list, but "Do Not Call" is conceptually much simpler: A marketer either places an unsolicited call to a particular number, or it doesn't. When it comes to the information generated by the interaction between a user and a Website, the datastream may be binary, but the question of whether someone is being "tracked" or not is anything but. And as the "arms race" alluded to above shows, it's not always going to be clear in advance which kinds of information will facilitate tracking. And of course, users will find it useful and convenient to permit the collection of certain types of information even as they prohibit others, making it desirable, as the FTC's David Vladeck put it in his testimony, for Do Not Track to enable "granular control" by users, rather than a simple on‐off switch. But the more types of data collection and sharing need to be controlled—including new types that become prevalent as technology evolves—the more elusive the clarity and simplicity promised by Do Not Track (relative to mechanism‐specific self help) becomes.
Maybe there's a solution to these difficulties—it would be premature to declare it hopeless a priori without seeing a proposed standard. But while the Internet is global, the reach of the FTC is confined to the United States. Even if the arms race could be halted within those borders, many users would frequently—and probably unwittingly—visit sites that are based abroad, or include content from third‐party sites that are. (Expect that to increase if legislation gives those foreign ad networks a competitive advantage.) If the sense of security provided by Do Not Track therefore proves to be largely illusory, a more openly acknowledged arms race might be preferable.

CINCINNATI (AP) -- A Cincinnati-area Democrat was poised Monday to say whether he'll enter the race for Ohio governor.
Longtime Hamilton County Commissioner Todd Portune planned on announcing his decision Monday afternoon in Cincinnati.
If he enters the race, it would set up a May 6 Democratic primary with Cuyahoga County Executive Ed FitzGerald, who has been running for months. Democrats want to take back the governor's office next year from Republican John Kasich.
Portune recently told the Northeast Ohio Media Group that he began thinking anew about running for governor after fellow Cincinnati Democrat state Sen. Eric Kearney was pressured off FitzGerald's ticket amid questions about tax liens. The Northeast Ohio Media Group also reported that Cuyahoga County President C. Ellen Connally said over the weekend she has talked to Portune about potentially being his running mate.
Portune has spent the past two decades as either a Cincinnati city councilman or Hamilton County commissioner, elected commissioner in 2000. He has promoted riverfront and other urban redevelopment, along with environmentally, transportation and public safety initiatives. He also has spoken out against the NFL's Cincinnati Bengals' stadium deal with the county.

1204 South Vista Ave.
Boise, ID 83705
(208) 331-3535
Somehow I found myself in Boise last week amidst temperatures cold enough to make me seriously consider purchasing a Hummer on the remotest chance it might contribute to global warming. My former Idahoan friends Kevin and Sarah Wilson recommended Casanova Pizzeria to me, and their recommendation was spot-on. You can read more about my visit over on Slice, but below you'll see a few more shots of the pizza than you'll see there. I apologize for the level of noise and general lack of quality in these photos, as Casanova has some of the dimmest lighting in any restaurant I've visited!
From top to bottom, these are shots of the Margherita, the Don Ho (essentially a Hawaiian with black olives), the Comet (pepperoni with garlic and tomatoes, easily the best pie of the lot, and that's a slice of it above), and the Mondo (their version of the Supreme).

If you ever get back to Boise check out Flatbread Community Oven. They also have a Bend, OR location I've been to. I love it.ReplyDelete
@Anonymous: Cool, thanks for the tip!ReplyDelete
Yum! I hope I could have even just one slice of it right now. I love pizza whenever we dine out I always look for a pizza house. Last year when I was very busy to work to pay my loans my brother surprised me one time and brought me to this new restaurant that serves best tasting pizzas. Upon my excitement and busy day at work I forgot that I was my birthday that day. LOL.ReplyDelete

Hi! On a whim I checked out your comic. Anyway... I have a few things to say so far:
* 1. The character drawings look "unstable" - The proportions look strange as do the angles. If this is deliberate I don't think it works - You should consider how angles work and what looks natural. Try to study the human anatomy in order to make movements look more natural. Also try to develop your sense of perspective so that aerial views, etc. look realistic.
* 2. The anime style that you use seems clichéd and the lack of color in the mouths just looks funny. You can use Japanese animation influences and still make a unique and lively style. The style you are using now is stiff, lifeless, and unclear. We need to know what is going on in the comic.
* 3. It seems like some comic strips are meant to be read right-to-left. That should not be the case; whenever writing a comic originally written in English it should go left-to-right - that is how the English language works. The actual Japanese manga can get away with being right-to-left because they were originally written in Japanese. Notice how the "American manga" sold in stores goes left-to-right...
* 4. If you are going to use Japanese names it is usually best to research the actual names - pick a name, formed with kanji, that you feel represents the character. You may need for someone who knows Japanese and is familiar with Japanese naming to help you with this.
* 5. Get a comic-appropriate font from Blambot: http://www.blambot.com/ - Comic Sans is not a good font for comics.
* 6. If you want to use a greyscale, get some shading in there. it will enhance the comic and add to the expression.
* 7. Work on the dialog and try to not make the characters too outlandish - If you are going to have a girl yell "But I'm different! I have BOOBIES!", you need to have other people rightfully call her a psycho weirdo and shun her. If you want her to be treated normally, have her act like a regular human being in Western society.
* 8. The layouts are not neat. The presentation is not neat.
I'll see if I have any more comments to say...

What you need to know before you go
Greece is known for its fascinating ancient cultures, from the democratic Athenians to the warlike Spartans. The ruins of civilization's birthplace are the biggest draw, including the ancient sites of Rhodes, Knossos, Thessaloniki and, of course, the Acropolis in Athens. The natural beauty of Greece and its many islands is also something to behold. Must-sees include Santorini's sunsets, Shipwreck Beach on Zakynthos and the Meteora near Kalambaka.
Don't be fooled into thinking Greece is just a giant museum, though. Among its popular destinations are idyllic Corfu, party islands like Mykonos and Ios, quiet escapes like Paxos and family-friendly spots like Naxos, Skiathos and plenty of others. With over 200 inhabited islands (and the mainland, of course), the choice of places to visit in Greece is staggering, but we'll help you to narrow it down and find the right one for you.

For nine consecutive years, our department has been ranked as one of the top ENT departments in the United States. We are aided in our ultimate mission – patient care – by the availability of cutting edge technology. Additionally, our department is actively involved in various areas of research, including hearing loss, swallowing disorders, sinus disease and cancer.

This includes information on debt funding and external (investment) funding - the two key options for export companies wanting to expand.
The first step in funding your plans is knowing what they'll cost – so if you're starting a new business or considering taking your company into overseas markets, make sure you also check out our Export Essentials guide to the cost of exporting.
Some government grants are available for businesses in New Zealand, but most involve co-funding, meaning you'll need to at least match the money that you're given.
For information on government funding for your business, visit Business.govt.nz's useful page on government grants and what you can get help with.
The Export Credit Office can also help you with understanding how to access trade finance when you're delivering on export contracts.
For information about NZTE's own funding offerings and how they work, visit our page on funding.
I want to find out about regulations and tariffs for exportRegulations and tariffs should be one of the first things you find out before exporting. They often determine whether a market will be easy or hard for you to export to, or whether you should try to do business there at all.
Understanding regulations in your export destination is a must-do. For an introduction to what you need to think about, see our guide on understanding international compliance requirements. This includes tips on how to research regulations, as well as insights on local regulations, standards, health and safety, and dealing with local bureaucracy.
It's a good idea to take a look at the rest of the international compliance process while you're doing your work on regulations – see more information in our guide to understanding international compliance requirements.
If you're planning to export food or food-related products, you should also check out the food exporting page on the Ministry for Primary Industries (MPI) website. MPI maintains a list of Overseas Market Access Requirements (OMARs) for New Zealand food products in different export markets – search and identify OMARs for your product online.
Tariffs can make your products more expensive and less attractive to overseas buyers, so you need to know the charges your products will attract before you commit to a new market.
You can get a big head start in finding tariff information by using the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade (MFAT) tariff finder or the World Trade Organisation's tariff download facility. You can search the databases by product name, but they work best when you know the approximate Harmonised System (HS) code for your product. HS codes are used by customs authorities around the world to identify products and apply tariffs. The longer the code is, the more precisely it describes your product. The first six digits of an HS code are usually the same worldwide – after that, there can be up to eight further digits, which often vary from country to country.
New Zealand Customs can help you to find out the first six digits of your HS codes – email firstname.lastname@example.com.
To get a longer and more precise HS code for a particular market, look up and contact the local customs authority online, or talk to a customs broker or freight forwarder who has done business in that market.
I would like to find out how to start exporting
If you're thinking about starting an export business, or taking your current business into overseas markets, you'll need to build a solid export plan.
A great place to start is with our export plan template. This will help you to think about:
- your objectives and goals for your export business
- what your target market looks like – market size and trends, economic factors, and compliance issues
- your strategy for entering the market – what you'll be selling (and any adaptations that might be needed), the market niche you're targeting, who your customers are and what they want, where you sit against your competitors, and your channel and pricing strategies
- your sales and marketing plans – including your sales process, marketing and promotional activities, and your marketing budget
- the extra resources you'll need – added capacity, people, business systems, and financial resources
- how to measure your performance, including financial, marketing and business key performance indicators (KPIs).
Our Export Essentials guides are a great place to start with this. You might find the guides below particularly useful:
- Researching and selecting export markets – how to get the right information about different markets, and decide which is right for you
- Understanding your value proposition – how to make sure you're offering something that overseas customers will buy
- Understanding the cost of exporting – how to work out if you'll be able to make money through exporting, and what costs you need to include in your pricing.
You can see our full suite of resources on our Export Essentials page.

Photographer's Note
A small lizard I met in the "El Limon" village after the ride to the "Salto Del Limon" I told you about yesterday. I found its green skin quite interesting against the wood painted red. Just as if even animals wanted to show the festive spirit of the country...
I took it under the roof of a big building and had to set ISO to 200 to have enough light.
Original framing, adjusted contrast and applied USM.

Hi Steven !
I'm impressed you did not use your teleconverter for this one. That means that you had to approach very close... Congratulations, the result is perfect, and this festival of colours is enjoyable.
Liora (1857) 2004-05-07 16:29
Great capture Steven - I love the colors! I thought these guys were supposed to use camouflage...
ianmcall (1213) 2004-05-08 0:15
A simple but effective composition. I like the plain colours against each other.
I feel this would be even stronger if you cropped it to basically just leave the lizard and the wood; both for the simplicity of the colours and to increase the relative size of the lizard.
ilouy (3370) 2004-05-09 3:19
This is very nice, because of the colors and the sharpness in the texture of the painted wood. Perharps a different composition would help : I think the subject is too much centered, so, I propose a WS with a cropping of the lower part of the image, that present not so much interesting (dark shadow). This place the lezard in the lower part, offcentering it.
digi-mom (1064) 2004-06-13 22:53
Great colors, good clarity. I would also crop a closer view, since some of the left seems a little distracting. Good job compensating for the dark, I think.
alimo3 (6854) 2004-11-15 18:17
Hello Steven,
very suprising image.
i would probably crop a little more,
but the colors are just : woooooooooow
Well seen.

University of Hawaii Centennial Homecoming Weekend welcomes graduates, friends and the community, Oct. 27 and 28
Eat, drink and be merry at the UHAA Block Party at Murphy's Bar & Grill, cheer for the Warriors at Aloha StadiumUniversity of Hawaiʻi
UH Alumni Association
HONOLULU - The University of Hawai'i Alumni Association (UHAA) brings the excitement of homecoming to alumni and friends of UH on Friday, October 27, with a free block party at Murphy's Bar and Grill in downtown Honolulu, followed on Saturday, October 28, by a Warriors football game against Western Athletic Conference rival University of Idaho at Aloha Stadium.
"Homecoming is a time to celebrate our UH bond with good friends, good food and good times," said Kevin Takamori, UHAA executive director. "With UH's 100-year anniversary in 2007 quickly approaching, we want this event to inaugurate an annual homecoming tradition that will express the tremendous pride people have in the university. Murphy's Bar & Grill is the perfect place for this kick off."
"Alumni are one of our greatest resources and strongest advocates for the university. There are more than 200,000 living graduates of our 10 campus system, and 140,000 alumni reside in Hawai'i. We deeply appreciate their support and dedicate homecoming week to them."
The UHAA Homecoming Block Party at Murphy's is open to the entire community and will feature live music by the Sam Kapu Trio, Lalea, Imua and others, with special appearances by Warrior football coaches. The party begins at 6 p.m. and will last until 10 p.m.; all food and beverage sales at Murphy's that night will benefit UHAA. The celebration will extend between Nu'uanu Avenue and Bethel Street; this area will be closed to traffic during the party.
The next day the UH Warriors take on the Idaho Vandals, sponsored by the UH Alumni Association and ESPN 1420 AM. Kick off is scheduled for 6:05 p.m. at Aloha Stadium, with a special pre-game ceremony honoring the university's "Golden Scholars" - UH alumni who graduated in 1956. In addition, a special alumni presentation will take place during halftime.
Fans can get a sneak peek at the football team's strategy and ask head coach June Jones questions at the "Call the Coach with June Jones" radio show, broadcast live on ESPN 1420 AM from 6 p.m. to 7 p.m. at The Willows Restaurant, with an all-you-can-eat buffet dinner for just $15. Fans should call (808) 952-9200 for reservations.
Members of the UH Alumni Association will receive two homecoming football tickets for the price of one (maximum of eight total). Association members should present their membership cards when purchasing tickets in advance at the Stan Sheriff Center Box Office (Monday-Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.) or at the Aloha Stadium Box Office in advance or on game day. Advance purchases are encouraged. Tickets are in special sections. Other restrictions may apply.

Checking In On… the Summit LeaguePosted by Brian Goodman on December 15th, 2011
Charlie Parks is the RTC correspondent for The Summit League. You can also find his musings online on Twitter @CharlieParksRTC.
Reader's Take
The Week That Was:
- Summit Continues To Rise: Last week, I thought the conference had reached its peak when it hit #14 in the RPI and Sagarin Conference rankings, but today the Summit sits at #12. Incredible, considering the Summit closed out last season ranked #21. This could mean something in March when the selection committee is deciding what seed the Summit champion will receive. So keep an eye on the rankings.
- Featured Scorers: The Summit League entered the week with more players in the nation's top 25 in scoring than any other conference. IPFW's Frank Gaines is ranked 9th, Oakland's Reggie Hamilton 20th, South Dakota State's Nate Wolters is 21st, and IUPUI's Alex Young comes in at 23rd. Hamilton, Wolters and Young also rank in the top 10 for overall points.
Power Rankings
- Oakland (6-4, 2-0) — They gave up a winnable game against Ohio at home, and they never had a chance against Michigan in a shootout. Those games are a little disheartening if you are Golden Grizzly fans, but there is no reason to panic. Oakland owns the best scoring offense in the conference, and is among the top 25 in the nation. They have the tops scorer in the conference in Reggie Hamilton, and they play much better defense than the other top scoring teams like South Dakota State and North Dakota State. The next few weeks will be key for Oakland. If they can take care of business against NDSU and SDSU, this conference could be decided by the end of January. They play Oral Roberts twice next month, and they are the only serious contender right now. Get ready for some early fireworks in the Summit League. Read the rest of this entry »

For those of you who were wondering, the Geithner Doctrine is the classic example of the Credibility Trap.
Under the Geithner Doctrine as stated by Yves Smith on NakedCapitalism,
Nothing must be done that will hurt the profits or reputation of any big that is pretty big or well-connected.This doctrine is simply a restatement of the imperative of the Japanese Model for handling a bank solvency led financial crisis to protect bank book capital levels and banker bonuses at all cost.
Both the doctrine and the Japanese Model fall squarely into the Credibility Trap defined on JESSE'S CAFÉ AMÉRICAIN
A credibility trap is a condition wherein the financial, political and informational functions of a society have been compromised by corruption and fraud, so that the leadership cannot effectively reform, or even honestly address, the problems ot that system without impairing and implicating, at least incidentally, a broad swath of the power structure, including themselves.
The status quo tolerates the corruption and the fraud because they have profited at least indirectly from it, and would like to continue to do so. Even the impulse to reform within the power structure is susceptible to various forms of soft blackmail and coercion by the system that maintains and rewards.
And so a failed policy and its support system become self-sustaining, long after it is seen by objective observers to have failed. In its failure it is counterproductive, and an impediment to recovery in the real economy. Admitting failure is not an option for the thought leaders who receive their power from that system.
The continuity of the structural hierarchy must therefore be maintained at all costs, even to the point of becoming a painfully obvious hypocrisy.
The Banks must be restrained, and the financial system reformed, with balance restored to the economy, before there can be any sustainable recovery."Even before the Geithner Doctrine and the Japanese Model were adopted, it was clear that they would fail. All one had to do was look at Japan since its financial crisis began in the late 1980s.
The only reason for adopting and pursuing the Geithner Doctrine and the Japanese Model is leadership ensnared in a credibility trap.
The question is will 2013 be the year that leadership breaks free of the credibility trap.

Researchers have released 50,000 salmon into a flooded rice field in the Sacramento Valley, as they try to determine whether such fields, flooded between harvests, can stand in for the wetlands that once filled the area and served as a massive nursery for juvenile salmon.
The Sacramento Bee reported ( https://bit.ly/VKkJsP ) that the fish were released into a 20-acre rice field on Tuesday by researchers from University of California, Davis, the California Department of Water Resources and a nonprofit group.
Scientists hope to learn whether a rice field can replicate the Central Valley wetlands that were once a key habitat for Central Valley salmon.
The fish were released in an area known as the Yolo Bypass, which was created to divert floodwaters from Sacramento.

Composer John Barry has died at the age of 77, following an illustrious career which encompassed work on The Ipcress File, Midnight Cowboy, Zulu, Born Free and Dances With Wolves.
His family announced in a statement: "It is with great sadness that the family of composer John Barry announce his passing on the 30th of January 2011 in New York.
"Mr Barry is survived by his wife of 33 years, Laurie, and his four children and five grandchildren. Funeral arrangements will be strictly private and a memorial service will be held later this year in the UK."
Among Barry's most celebrated work is his contribution to the James Bond franchise. His association with 007 began with Dr No, when he arranged Monty Norman's score.
He went on to produce memorable musical backdrops for Diamonds are Forever, Goldfinger, Thunderball, On Her Majesty's Secret Service and You Only Live Twice.
Barry was born in York in 1933, the son of a local cinema owner. He began his rise to musical fame as a trumpeter – first as a bandsman during his national service stint, and later as the head of the successful The John Barry Seven.
In 1960 came his first chance to try his hand at a movie score – Adam Faith vehicle Beat Girl – and by 1962 he was invited to turn his talents to the Dr No score.
Don Black, who provided the lyrics for the themes to Born Free and Diamonds Are Forever, told AP: "The thing about John that I will always remember was he never changed. He was very much the Yorkshireman, whether he was in Beverly Hills or Manhattan.
"When he played you a melody it was like an unveiling. You didn't question it because you knew he had been up all night working on it and getting it right."
Barry's last film score was Enigma, in 2001. There's a full biog of Barry here, and here's the work for which he will arguably be best remembered:
