Since the near zero temps are still hovering around the City, I've gone diving into my closet for the most likely candidate to huddle in.
It had to be:
– wool (but of course)
– dense
– long(ish)
– pretty (aw!)
Number one with a bullet was a Fair Isle alpaca number that I DID NOT KNIT (shocking!) but got years ago at the Andersonville Midsommarfest. A husband-wife team travels to So. AM and brings back sweaters and caps and when I saw it in their lovely booth, I had to have it. It is doubly warm and toasty from all the stranded action of the fair isle patterning (don't laugh at the model in this picture!)
But I, diva of the wardrobe (packrat), must certainly have more than one candidate for the deep freeze and indeed, I came up with, hmm, several.
The one I really wanted to wear was in a basket hidden away on top of the armoire that holds my hand knits. It was the original sample for the Mrs. CB Camp jacket, a release from awhile back, made from a dense wool from a small farm called Sheepy Valley. Why was it neglected? It was too big for me and it seems to be standard procedure over here to simply abandon the ill-fit and keep them for years (packrat).
Being wonderfully wooly, thick and sporting some really pretty buttons made it really an attractive candidate for not only the cold but for one of my other favorite hobbies.
I've been sewing and tailoring knitted stuff off and on over the years and this one was a good candidate for that because the yarn it's made from is very grabby, in the same way fiber that would steek successfully is.
the Rub
This sweater fit OK through the shoulders but was too big at the hem.
So it was also a good candidate for a simple seaming session where the excess size was removed from the body of the sweater.
The front pockets, which were sewn on, would have to be un-seamed for a few inches to get clear access to the new seam line. Simple, right?
But me, being me, did what I always seem to do: I tugged and pulled on what looked like the seam thread, clipped, and was left with:
indeed, my now traditional, gaping hole.
But since this garment is made from such fuzzy-wuzzy barn yarn, it was the perfect candidate for a simple fixit. I'm including this step just in case you find yourself in this predicament…
The Simple Solution: attach a strand of leftover yarn to the area under the hole and darn together using the Duplicate Stitch technique. My hole was a simple unravel of a row, so I could just fuse the bottom to the top. (Here's a more detailed tutorial for a bigger hole, but uses the same principles).
Now that my hole is history, I flipped the sweater inside out and marked where I as going to remove the excess fabric.
I like to use corsage pins to hold the pieces together, and I used a darning needle to mark the point where I'd begin. This is a pretty lazy approach – but then again, this is grabby yarn and there is going to be minimum slippage of the work when it goes under the presser foot of the machine. For the more faint-hearted, basting the pieces together holds them in place and makes a wonderful line to sew on.
I sewed up the side of the sweater, alongside the edge of a pattern group, then merged into the body of the piece right at the waist. Regular sewing thread was used in the largest stitch size my ancient machine offered.
Then, I sewed another line, about 1/8" away from the first.
And here's the fun result:
I trimmed the excess from the sides about 1/8" away from the second seam line.
From l. to r.: Trimmed flaps, wrong-side, then right-side; top view of seam; side view of seam at far right.
A blast from ye olde steam iron "sets" the new fibers and makes them all shake hands…

Talk:Chicago/Archives 2008-09
Star Article Status[edit]
surely it is, or nearly is at that point, tonnes of maps (including slightly concerning one of crimes per a neighbourhood!) it feels like a guidebook (with more information and better written than some lonely planet and rough guide books) - what do other people think?
Prof Jack 17:59, 10 December 2007 (EST)
Star nomination[edit]
I believe this long article is completely MoSed, has several nice maps, lots of good pictures, and (IMO) better quality information than any other guide to the city I've seen. That and every district article is at least guide status. If others agree, this will become our second huge city star. --Peter Talk 17:25, 18 February 2008 (EST)
External research links[edit]
I'm moving Kevin Forsyth's link to the Blues Brothers filming locations map here, because it conflicts with our external links policy. As much as I like the map and his page, I can't really countenance going against such a time honored policy, nor can we nominate the Chicago article for star status as long as it violates policy. Hopefully interested parties may find it here. Also, it could be adapted for WT format, either by adding especially noteworthy locations to the district articles, or ideally by creating a Blues Brothers driving itinerary (which would be awesome). --Peter Talk 14:55, 18 February 2008 (EST)
Jazz truths[edit]
I understand the anon objection to the phrase "the truth of jazz," since it is a bit fluffy. But the anon's replacement sentence, "Chicago is the home of the blues, the heart of comedy, and the idea of the skyscraper," is an ugly list and a considerable degradation in style. Perhaps we could come up with something to replace the truth of jazz, preserving the existing syntax? My brain's fried right now (reading too much Machiavelli) and I can't seem to come up with anything better. --Peter Talk 17:59, 16 April 2008 (EDT)
Taxi tipping[edit]
Do taxi meters include tips or are those extra?--188.8.131.52 23:54, 23 May 2008 (EDT)
CTA rail map[edit]
The CTA map needs updating. The Blue line no longer makes any runs along the 54/Cermak (Douglas) branch, which is now exclusively served by the Pink line. Eco84 22:09, 2 July 2008 (EDT)
Long mug of a consulates list[edit]
The consulates list is long. Would it make sense/be acceptable to move it to a subpage of Chicago, dedicated solely to the list? --Peter Talk 20:04, 11 August 2008 (EDT)
Why are taxi fares being removed?[edit]
Gorilla Jones removed on 18:52, 15 October 2008 a list of taxi fare web apps for Chicago. Why have they been removed? In Wikitravel:External links it is not explicitly forbidden (in the What not to link to section) to have links to services like these; although I agree these may not be strictly primary sources, they do provide VERY useful information for visitors of Chicago.
It can be argued that they qualify under the External link usage, In-article text links section
Links within the article text should be kept to a minimum and should point only to primary sources. Examples of valid links might include airline companies, bus companies, and sites offering daily updates and warnings about a destination's condition
Moreover, just in the next paragraph there is a list of actual taxi companies of Chicago, so I do not see the sense in allowing taxi companies to be listed, but not services that will inform about exact prices to expect from these taxi companies.
So once again, I do not understand why this list of links are not acceptable. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 184.108.40.206 (talk • contribs)
Is there anything that you Chicagonians need added to the Chicago section that I could look for? Or are ye guys pretty much set?
Edmontonenthusiast 19:19, 22 October 2008 (EDT)Edmontonenthusiast
Thank you so much for whoever wrote the Understand section. It reads well and is very informatvie & inspiring. happy holidays, edmontonenthusiast [ee] .T.A.L.K. 12:14, 25 December 2008 (EST).
B&B aggregator[edit]
I removed a B & B aggregator that was added to the overview article today, but a casual glance at the site revealed some inns that we have not included in the Chicago guide that probably should be added. So I'll leave this link [1] here for research. --Peter Talk 12:41, 18 February 2009 (EST)
Get Around - Street "numbers"[edit]
The section on navigating Chicago is confusing (and I might be contributing to the obfuscation), but here's how I read the following:
This is not talking about house numbers, it's talking about the numbers assigned to streets. One example given in the article is Western Avenue, at 2400 W. This number tells us that Western (a north-south street) is 24 blocks west of center, that it crosses east-west streets at the 2400 address. Yes, it's confusing and seems counter-intuitive the way it's written. I'm still pondering a better way to phrase it. Kevin Forsyth 08:34, 6 March 2009 (EST)
Putting in clearer images in the Chicago guide?[edit]
Wow, Chicago is such a great guide and I'd love to contribute. Is it worth substituting some current images in the articles with more fresher and clearer Flickr CC images? I changed the first image in the Chicago article but I'm hesitant to do more unless everyone is ok with it? Thanks. --MarinaK 18:59, 9 March 2009 (EDT)MarinaK.
Non-Stop Flights[edit]
I've removed the lengthy lists of cities that have non-stop flights to O'Hare, Midway, and Milwaukee's Hiawatha Airport. In Hiawatha's case, that info belongs in Milwaukee, not here. For the other two, those lists belong in O'Hare International Airport and Chicago/Midway Area respectively, although I'd argue that those lists are not as vital for Chicago as for some smaller cities — as demonstrated by the lengths of the lists, plenty of airlines fly direct here. Gorilla Jones 00:36, 2 April 2009 (EDT)
Milwaukee airport[edit]
I removed this: Midwest Airlines [2] has its main hub at Milwaukee. AirTran serves 14 destinations from Milwaukee, versus 5 from Chicago Midway.
Milwaukee has its own article, which is where a list of airlines serving the Milwaukee airport logically belongs. There is no need to duplicate that information here. It's fine to note that Milwaukee's airport can be considered as an alternative to Chicago's two airports — although I've never heard of someone actually doing it — but when you're getting into which airlines fly there and how often they fly, that belongs on Milwaukee, not here. Gorilla Jones 13:58, 4 April 2009 (EDT)
While the discussion on where to place this information is ongoing, I'd like to bring up a related idea. The Consulate sections here and elsewhere strike me as dull and lifeless, and very boring to scroll through. I've experimented with a way to breathe some life into these sections: User:Jtesla16/Sandbox. I think it makes the section more fun and doesn't take away from any of the value, thoughts? --Jtesla16 22:07, 8 April 2009 (EDT)
Makes no sense[edit]
What's the point of being able to edit articles here or on Wikipedia when an administrator is simply going to revert it back? I can understand if something silly or absurd is written, but when you are writing a logical statement in a better form than it currently is and its just changed back, well,... I don't know. Are the administrators getting offended? The point of this website is to be able to edit sometimes, right?. So when Wikipedia asks for money to continue operating, I think hmmm. Even if you change a statement like say, "Chicago is a large city" to "Chicago is the nation's third largest city", within seconds its changed back. Why should I contribute to this when its not living up to its initial function? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 188.8.131.52 (talk • contribs)
I'm a bit confused — the Sports section has the Super Bowl Shuffle, fists banging on tables, and expressions of tribal fury. That's not lively? Also, for pre-Jordan language, it has Butkus, Singletary, Payton, the NHL's Original Six, and a dogged loyalty to "Comiskey". That seems like a pretty fair among of history, considering that the post-Jordan era is all that a visitor can experience without aid of a time machine.
As for African-American history, you might click through to some of the district articles linked in that section (especially Bronzeville), as there's a lot more than the DuSable Museum. Gorilla Jones 00:16, 21 November 2009 (EST)
Lastly, I agree detailed info. about such and such museum is fine to have in the district article, but perhaps mentioning the museum in bold font on the article page might give interested travelers a better idea of what there is to DO in the city pertaining to the subsection at-hand (sometimes the names of museums/centers are pretty self-explanatory and thus maybe the word count can be reduced a bit). Zepppep 13:16, 23 November 2009 (EST)
Home of the Blues?????[edit]
Well, Urban Blues perhaps, but the blues worked its way up to Chicago from the South so claiming Chicago as the home of the blues is pushing it a bit?Shep 15:29, 3 June 2009 (EDT)
I just noticed that this article never actually mentions that the city is in Illinois. It's in the breadcrumbs, but that's about it. Is that intentional? LtPowers 15:45, 22 June 2009 (EDT)
Under the "By Car" segment it states "Chicagoans have a maddening habit of referring to some expressways by their names, not the numbers used..." Well, this is actually not a maddening habit for Chicagoans because they all know the names of their expressways and refer to them as such. Its not appropriate to say its "maddening" when its something the whole Chicago metropolitain region does and is very familiar with. A more appropriate statement would be, "Unlike many other cities, Chicagoans tend to refer to their expressways by their names instead of numbers. You would be wise to make yourself familiar with the name of the designated numbered expressway if you intend to travel by car during your stay". This way it doesn't make it seem like the entire region is doing something wrong when, in fact, they're not. —The preceding comment was added by 18.104.22.168 (talk • contribs) .
Okay. I read Wikitravel:Tone and I get what you're saying. But just like in New York City, they tend to use the name as well... i.e. the Van Wyck, Brooklyn-Queens, Cross Bronx, etc. Some cities simply prefer names over numbers. Los Angeles, to a degree, will also use names: The Santa Monica Freeway, the Hollywood Freeway, the Pasadena Freeway, Long Beach Freeway, Pomona Freeway, etc. And in these cities, the names are also on the expressway signs, along with the number. But if this is the statement that will be used ("its maddening"), then it should be under the New York City article as well sense they do the same thing. This really appears to be a preference that the nation's three largest and most dominate cities do. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 18.104.22.168 (talk • contribs)
Your right. Chicagoans are not a sensitive bunch so it can be overlooked. But I must say to Gorilla Jones, it is actually the same thing. Bottom line, numbers aren't used, names are. Chicago calls many of its highways after people, but it also has directional highway names like Lake Shore Dr (which runs along the lake shore from north to south), and the Chicago Skyway (which carries Indianians into Chicago. This highway was built by the city of Chicago). And while New York uses mostly directional "names" (still not numbers, however), lets not forget New York has the Dr Martin Luther King Jr highway, the JFK Expressway, and its West Side Highway is alternately called the Joe DiMaggio Highway. So while one city mostly calls its expressways after people with a few named after destinations, and the other names them after destinations with a few named after people, both Chicago and New York have come to the same conclusion: They don't like calling them by numbers. But as I said above, it can be overlooked.
It goes to the JFK Airport but its named after John F Kennedy. —The preceding comment was added by 184.108.40.206 (talk • contribs) .
Seems to me the entire debate was about cities using names instead of numbers for expressways; not a sub-discussion on what type of names are used. So in that regard, both New York and Chicago use names of people and/or directions for their expressways. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 126.96.36.199 (talk • contribs)
I'm moving this list to the Talk page — though some additions were good, a travel guide doesn't need an encyclopedic list, and some of these are barely associated with Chicago. (North by Northwest is New York, Rushmore, and a corn field a lot more than it's Chicago.) Fiddle with my choices as you see fit. Gorilla Jones 00:09, 16 October 2009 (EDT)

Tahoe's big wooden boat show begins Friday
CARNELIAN BAY, Calif. (AP) — Flashy, Italian-made Riva speedboats will be featured at the Tahoe Yacht Club Foundation's 31st annual Concours d'Elegance this weekend.
About 125 carefully restored and meticulously maintained boats will be on display at Sierra Boat Co. on Tahoe's north shore, including up to 30 Rivas — viewed by many boat enthusiasts as the "Ferraris of speedboats."
Rivas date to the mid-1800s, but the first to arrive in the United States were brought over in the 1950s by Carlo Riva. They quickly became a status symbol for the wealthy and famous and were featured in movies including "Some Like It Hot."
In addition to the Rivas, the event dedicated to preservation of boats that have plied Lake Tahoe since the 1920s will include Chris-Craft, GarWood, Hacker Craft and other "woodies."
"We enjoy being able to share the beauty of the boats to the public, and it's also our chance to pass on some of Tahoe's nautical history," said boat restorer Philip Ballantyne, Concours d'Elegance chairman.
Boats can range in value from $50,000 to $1 million. Many were priced at a few thousand dollars when new — and were in such bad shape when restorers eventually found them that they were sold for a few hundred dollars or even given away.
Local Riva owners include Steve Lapkin, long active in the annual Tahoe wooden boat event. Lapkin says many Riva owners started out with Chris-Crafts or other boats, but eventually were drawn to Rivas.
"It's a natural progression, like aging or growing up," he said, adding that the stylish Rivas have lines that were never matched by other boat builders.
The Concours d'Elegance is a competitive, judged show. Event sponsors say the boats on display represent some of the finest restorations in the country, and teams of judges and advisers read like a list of "who's who" in the wooden boat industry.
Proceeds are donated to various local nonprofit groups committed in some way to nautical pursuits at Tahoe. Last year's Concours d'Elegance attracted more than 10,000 people, a record, and over $35,000 was donated to area charities.
Concours d'Elegance is part of Wooden Boat Week events that will run through Aug. 14. The events includes parties, lakeside picnics, on-water wooden boat parades and rallies, and a fashion show luncheon. ——

1969 Camaro Street-Driven Dominator ...And Other Divorceable Acts
We couldn't resist Rick Lantz's 1969 Camaro with a bonafide 746hp on the dyno.
"Here is one for your horsepower page." Rick Lantz wasn't kidding when he flashed us a view of the Dominator and the 746hp dyno squiggles related to his '69 Camaro. We really couldn't resist when he threatened to drive the car on the freeway from its hiding place in Yorba Linda, California, to a scuzzy L.A. ghetto to show us the goods: four-speed, four-link, and giant Brodix 14-degree heads and all.
What would you do? He had a '95 Z28 with a Vortech supercharger, some Torq-Thrust IIs, and lots of aftermarket stuff, but he needed a cam to make any real power and reality bites. In California, you just can't do it, so Rick looked for some old iron. His first score was the promise of a '63 Nova with a mildly built 383, but when it showed up, it didn't have the 10.5:1 compression or the 383 that was promised. It turned out to be a stock 350 with cast pistons, but it did have the Demon carb, Edelbrock heads, and some other sundry items.
"I would have had to put a lot of work into the car to get it to go, which was what I was trying to avoid from the Z28 episode," Rick admits. He found another car on the Internet that looked more like a driver with a 700-horse small-block that was allegedly already dialed. The previous owner had become obsessed with the trinket and succumbed to its demands, spending night and day shuttling it to different shops and working on it endlessly at the price of his family. He got the car; she got everything else. Snapped from the spell, he put the car up for sale. Rick drove the car once and bought it.
"That's where my nightmare began," Rick remembers. On Easter Sunday, it just died after chewing the distributor gear clean off. It had been nibbling for a while and depositing chunks into the oil. After that was fixed, it all of a sudden made a hell of a racket and destroyed a lifter, rocker arm, and pushrod, likely due to a slurry of oil chunks floating through the valvetrain. Then and there, Rick decided it should be able to live on the street.
He called his boat-engine-building buddy, who is accustomed to building big small-blocks that live idling around on the river all day. He had some good ideas to stabilize the drivetrain with larger lifters, cam bearings, and a rebuilt shaft-rocker system. They also noticed it had pistons with vertical gas ports, which tend to clog when there is no rpm to clear the carbon. That required a complete teardown and rebuild. Soon, the engine was on the Westech dyno where Steve Brule and crew messed with cam timing and oil levels to hit a peak horsepower number. We pressured Rick to admit it is tuned for bragging rights. It's kind of peaky, but he doesn't think it is too big a deal with such a big engine in a relatively light car.
Rick put the whole car together in his garage on his back with the car on jackstands. "Fortunately, the Jeffco is light, so I just bench-pressed it in," he said. With his wife's help, it took him about three unhurried days to put it together. His experience comes from a job at TRD Racing, where he was required to dabble with fuel injection back when they were into open-wheel racing. These days, Toyota is into NASCAR, forcing Rick to fall back to the rudimentary world of carbs. And what better way to learn than to drive a car with a Dominator? "I used to tinker with my Typhoon and the Camaro with LT-1 Edit to customize the curves until Toyota got out of IRL and got into the Craftsman Truck Series in 2004. Now they are headed for Busch and Cup cars in 2007." Rick is going to need the big carb skills as the Busch series program manager.
Look for Rick near the big ovals or near his home in Concord, North Carolina, in his Camaro. "I'd like to get it on the track as soon as I finish the 'cage. In the meantime, I'm going to take it out and terrorize the streets of North Carolina once in a while."
TECH NOTESWhat: '69 Chevrolet CamaroOwner: Rick LantzHometown: Concord, NC. The same state that hosted last year's Cruisin' USA in Oakboro.
Block: It is an all-aluminum 461-inch Donovan small-block with 4.155 bore and a raised cam location to accommodate the 4.25-inch stroke. Rick sent it to LSM after the lifter collapsed and wiped out the bores. LSM repaired them with brass sleeves and opened up the cam journals for big roller bearings. The rest of the assembly was performed by Dave Ebbert at DNE Motorsports Development.
Cage: The 'cage only has four connection points because the old owner never did decide what kind of racing he wanted to do. Rick will go with an NHRA-approved setup.
Cam: The primary problem with the valvetrain is the raised cam location and aggressive profile combined with the stock small-block-style lifters and pushrods. And even though the former owner claimed he never over-revved it (sure, dude!), the stock equipment just couldn't compete. Now the engine has Chrysler dimension lifters (0.904 inch) and a custom-grind solid roller from LSM. Rick thinks it can take 7,200-7,300 rpm, but the shift light is set for 6,800.
Chassis: The original intent was to run the Silver State Classic open road race, so Ray's Fabrication assembled the Chris Alston tube-frame chassis with the help of J Bittle from JBA. At some point, the old owner changed his mind and tried to make it a drag car. The result is a car that is neither top-speed ready nor NHRA approved but is great for the street. Rick says, "With 275s on the front, at low speeds it is a little tough to turn, otherwise it rides good on the freeway with the adjustable shocks. I've never taken it around a corner hard, I am afraid that the rear will step out and I will wreck it."
Dash: Basically, Rick's done nothing to the dash except the backlighting. Nothing else works, and there is no speedo conversion for the Jeffco transmission. He's covered the whole thing up with a Pro Comp tach. It works for us. The wiper switch controls the electric fan and the water pump, and the switch near the shifter toggles between the horn and the line lock.
The Dominator: Only the jets had been tinkered with on the out-of-the-box 1050 Holley Dominator. It was then sent to a DaVinci Performance expatriate for some booster work to get the engine to work on the street. "I think it's really driveable; I can have it at 2,000 rpm in Fourth gear and it will just start to buck a little bit. It hasn't had a burp or hiccup since. It was one of the happy surprises for me."
Exhaust: The headers were custom-made by Bob Butler. They are 2.125 primaries that step to 2.250 with a 3.50-inch collector. The system then dumps into an oval tube for ground clearance and set of MagnaFlow 3.500-inch mufflers.
Fuel: The cell is pretty small in terms of it being a street car, so Rick has to hit the gas station pretty often. There is a fuel cell that holds about 12 gallons, and a piece of foam seems to keep the fuel from sloshing around in there on the street. Rick likes it though: "Part of the appeal is popping the trunk to fill the gas tank, and the battery switch is mounted where the filler neck should be."
Intake: Brodix has two different port sizes for its heads and only makes one manifold, so Rick had Wilson Manifolds port the intake runners to match that of the head. Wilson also worked the floor a little and milled half an inch off the top then added the four-hole tapered spacer to help low-end driveability and still have some hood clearance.
Paint: Right now it is midnight blue, but Rick has always been partial to red. Who knows? He just doesn't want it to be too pretty, so he can drive it and not worry too much.
Pedal: Covers! He got them from an auto parts store in Yorba Linda, California, in the chrome section.
Rearend: The Camaro has a Chassisworks chromoly FAB 9 housing with a Strange aluminum dropout designed for GM 12-bolt guts, including an Eaton Posi, Strange 30-spline axles, and 3.42 gears.
Seats: The Corbeau seats are going to be replaced from bottom-of-the-line metal frames with foam so thin the springs poke you to top-of-the-line carbon-fiber seats with better pads and comfort. After the 'cage is done.
Transmission: Essentially, the Jeffco is a manually activated automatic. You have to have a clutch to start and stop but not to shift gears. You can no-lift shift, but on the street, it is a firm shift, and scary. Instead, Rick just lifts off the throttle then gets back into it. If you are just pulling levers, it is equivalent to a really stiff shift kit in an automatic. There is no park, so the car needs to be put in the opposite gear to stay put. It will roll back when it is in a forward gear or roll forward when it is in a reverse gear. Not so nice on a street car with no parking brake. The four levers are all forward, and each gear is pulled in descending order. All levers pulled back is Fourth, and when you get to a traffic light, you have to push each lever forward.
Water: The log on the front of the engine is required because the intake has no provisions for a traditional water neck. The Meziere electric pump circulates the water through custom braided lines in and out of the head.
Wheels: The 17x11-inch Budnik Prisms in the rear have a ton of room because that part of the chassis was custom-made. The 17x9.5-inch front wheels rub the headers at full lock. It never had a good turning radius to begin with.
Cool: "My favorite thing is shredding tires at will. It will get old eventually, but I like it for now. On the freeway, I knocked the shifter down one gear and got it a little sideways. The big stuff is done, so I can just fix the little things," Rick says.

Barry and Virginia Weinman create $1 million fellowship program at the UH John A. Burns School of Medicine
Gift will help keep the best and brightest in HawaiiUniversity of Hawaiʻi
UH Foundation
HONOLULU — The University of Hawaiʻi Foundation (UHF) is pleased to announce that Barry and Virginia Weinman have created a $1 million fellowship program for students at the John A. Burns School of Medicine (JABSOM). The Barry and Virginia Weinman Fellowship will assist University of Hawaiʻi medical students who plan to intern and practice in Hawaiʻi. The Weinman Fellowships are for tuition and fees during four continuous years of study and cover about $90,000 of the student's costs.
"We are very pleased to make this gift, which will help strengthen the medical profession in Hawaiʻi. There is an ongoing shortage of doctors in Hawaiʻi and our Fellowship is a tool to help address this issue by recruiting and retaining future physicians," said Virginia Weinman.
Three JABSOM students have qualified for the 2006-07 school year Fellowships. All three were raised in Hawaiʻi:
· Kristine Layugan graduated from Hawaiʻi Pacific University and intends to become a primary care physician and provide services to local and immigrant communities.
· Bradlee Sako is a UH Manoa 2005 graduate who has spent the last year as a part-time teacher at his high school. Bradlee, a Regent Scholar, wants to become a primary care physician in the Waipahu area.
· Joshua Hvidding is a biology graduate from UH Manoa and has a Masters in Public Health from the University of New South Wales. He plans on practicing in Waianae.
UHF Chair Faye Kurren said, "Barry and Virginia exemplify giving from the heart and giving for Hawaiʻi. They have been inspirations, from funding scholarships to providing valuable introductions to philanthropic individuals to providing investment advice for the University of Hawaiʻi's endowments. The Weinmans have an extraordinary commitment to enhancing the University of Hawaiʻi and our State."
Barry Weinman said, "We created these Fellowships because of our concerns that with rising tuition and other costs, medical students are facing a huge burden of debt upon graduation. They then encounter sky rocketing malpractice insurance premiums in many needed specialties. This encourages them to leave Hawaiʻi or practice in fields based on economic realities, rather than the community's needs. We encourage the Legislature to address malpractice tort reform, and we encourage UH alumni and the local community to contribute to student scholarships."
The Barry and Virginia Weinman Fellowship is the couple's latest donation in support of the University of Hawaiʻi. In 2000 they gave $1.35 million to establish the Barry and Virginia Weinman Chair of Entrepreneurship and initiate the Pacific Center for Entrepreneurship and E-Business (PACE) at the College of Business Administration.
Barry Weinman has served on the Board of Trustees of the University of Hawaiʻi Foundation since 2002. He is co-founder of Allegis Capital, a Silicon Valley venture capital fund and Chairman of DragonBridge Capital, a Honolulu and Beijing Merchant Bank.
Virginia Weinman is a graduate of the Stanford University Graduate School of Business and also has a Masters in Marriage, Family & Child Counseling. She currently serves on several local charitable boards and is the President of the Weinman Foundation. She was founder and President of Allusions.com, a multimedia development company and had served in the Reagan Administration.

Originally introduced at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit, the all-new 2017 Ridgeline brings Honda innovation in technology, design and packaging to the midsize pickup truck market. The Ridgeline delivers superior driving dynamics in combination with the largest interior space and most versatile bed in a midsize four-door pickup truck. Honda-exclusive features including In-Bed Trunk®, dual-action tailgate and the industry's first in-bed audio system make Ridgeline the ultimate tailgating vehicle.
Designed, developed and manufactured in America, the new Ridgeline boasts of a combination of features and capabilities unlike anything else on the market today, including: superior on-road performance – with the segment's best handling, ride quality, cabin quietness and all-weather traction.
Available in RT, RTS, Sport, RTL, RTL-T, RTL-E and Black Edition, power for the all-new Honda pickup truck is powered by a 3.5L direct-injected i-VTEC™ V-6 engine mated to a six-speed automatic transmission. The Ridgeline is also available for the first time in both front-wheel and all-wheel-drive configurations. All-wheel-drive models utilize Honda's i-VTM4™ torque vectoring AWD technology, featuring Intelligent Terrain Management with Normal, Sand, Snow and Mud modes, providing robust medium-duty off-road and towing capability with superior on-road, all-weather handling, traction and performance.
The new Ridgeline rides on Honda's Global Light Truck platform with its rigid yet lightweight unibody construction, next-generation ACE™ body structure. Its sophisticated, fully independent suspension, delivers a higher level of ride and handling refinement than conventional body-on-frame designs.
The cargo bed offers pickup users unmatched versatility in a midsize four-door pickup. Longer and wider than the model it replaces, the 2017 Honda Ridgeline features 48 inches between the rear wheel arches, allowing for flat hauling of items like plywood sheeting or drywall. The composite, UV-stabilized and scratch-resistant bed also boasts a number of available Honda-exclusive features that add to its incredible versatility, including an In-Bed Trunk™, dual-action tailgate, available 400-watt AC power inverter and the industry's first in-bed audio system. The bed also features eight 350-pound tie-down cleats.

The 60/40-split and folding second-row seat provides the ultimate versatility for people- and cargo-hauling utility. With the seats folded down, the Ridgeline will comfortably carry up to five people while still accommodating long items, like a set of golf clubs, under the rear seat. Folding up one or both sides of the 60/40-split seat bottom opens up the back to carry tall and bulky items.

Northern Germany's largest Christmas market, with around 300 stalls on Neuer Markt at the heart of Rostock's town centre, overflows with light. The big question here is how Father Christmas will arrive – on skates, a ship, or the bus? Typical specialities and real treats for the tongue are smoked sausage, smoked fish and Schmalzkuchen. On Saturdays and Sundays, fairytales are re-enacted on the Fairytale Castle Stage. At the official opening, the first cut is made in the giant stollen cake. Special events at the historical market celebrate Christmas customs in time-honoured fashion. There is a Nordic Mile, where you can soak up the Scandinavian atmosphere, and the romantic Fairytale Forest brings childhood memories flooding back.
Christmas market - opening times:
25 Nov - 22 Dec 2019
Mon - Thu 10am - 8.30pm
Fri - Sat 10am - 9.30pm

When it comes to surgery, women face a choice between breast conservation or a mastectomy. In most cases, patients are given a choice because studies have shown survival rates to be the same for both procedures. Therefore, the choice is based on both personal factors and the most effective cancer treatment. The treatment of breast cancer has changed significantly over the years. Our increased understanding of how cancers grow has helped us have more effective treatment, prevention, and earlier detection. Surgeons can be less aggressive with surgery and still achieve excellent results.
Let's look at each procedure, and some of the factors to consider when making a decision.
Breast Conservation (Lumpectomy)
Breast conservation is the removal of the tumor with some surrounding breast tissue.
When having a lumpectomy, the approach commonly accepted is an onco-plastic technique. This approach aims at complete removal of the tumor, in addition to some cosmetic techniques to preserve the contour of the breast. The onco-plastic approach usually requires a surgeon to have completed additional training, or to work jointly with a plastic surgeon. This technique allows women with larger tumors, who may traditionally have needed a mastectomy, to undergo breast conservation with better results. In addition to preserving the contour of the breast, the incision (where the surgeon will cut) is performed in a location where it will minimize the visibility of a scar. Many breast specialists will attempt to "hide" the scar. If your surgeon does not have experience with these techniques they can work with a plastic surgeon to achieve the same results.
The Mastectomy
A mastectomy is the complete removal of the breast. If you choose to have a mastectomy, the two most commonly cosmetically superior choices are: a nipple-sparing mastectomy or a skin-sparing mastectomy.
A nipple-sparing mastectomy is a procedure that preserves the entire skin overlying the breast (including the skin of the nipple and areola) while removing the breast and most of the ductal tissue beneath the nipple-areola complex. A skin-sparing mastectomy is when the entire breast is removed with the nipple and areola, while preserving most of the skin.
These surgeries can be performed via hidden scars around the nipple or at the fold of the breast, and are combined with immediate reconstruction to deliver excellent cosmetic results.
Remember; all breast cancer patients should have access to options for breast reconstruction. It is a state law.
Axillary surgery
This part of the surgery is when the surgeon checks if the cancer has spread to the lymph nodes in the arm pit region (axilla). In recent years, management of the axilla has changed. In the past, if a patient had a lymph node with cancer in it, the surgeon was required to take out additional lymph nodes. The problem with removing many lymph nodes versus a few is that it increases the risk of lymphedema (or swelling of the lymph nodes). Today, in certain patients, surgeons are no longer required to take out additional lymph nodes even if there is cancer in one or two of them. This makes the risk of lymphedema lower, and is possible because other types of treatments have improved and can help treat the cancer.
Factors to consider
Women should consider the various aspects of each surgical option, ensure that they are comfortable with their healthcare team, and work with their physician(s) to develop a personalized program for treatment.
Surgeons with advanced specializations may be able to provide better guidance and quality of care. Similarly, studies have shown that patients treated by surgeons with high surgical volumes are more satisfied with their care and have improved cancer outcomes. Finally, a multidisciplinary, team-oriented approach with an emphasis on minimally invasive surgery and better cosmetic outcomes also enhances quality of care and survivorship.
NYU Winthrop Hospital, which is a nationally accredited Center of Excellence by the National Accreditation Program for Breast Centers (NAPBC), has specialists trained to treat breast cancer in a multidisciplinary way.

Eye Pro is an interesting tool which uses several techniques to try and reduce the chance of eye strain when you're using a PC.
Looking at a monitor (or any other close-up object, actually) for a very long time can leave your eyes feeling tired, for instance, so the program will prompt you to take regular breaks. Nothing major - just a short break of 8 seconds every 15 minutes, and a longer break of 1 minute every 45 - but that's enough for you to focus on something further away for a while, which could make all the difference.
Eye Pro also provides "screen filters", coloured overlays which appear over your desktop. If there's a lot of bright blue on the screen, for example, the authors say applying the blue filter should neutralise screen glare and make your system more comfortable to view.
A "Vision Therapy" section provides various simple animations and games which the authors claim may improve your eye health. You can watch a ball bounce around the screen, for instance, or try to see the image in a 3D stereogram.
And a handy "Usage Stats" section tracks and reports on Eye Pro's effectiveness, by highlighting how often you take short breaks, and how many times you skip them.
Eye Pro probably won't help you get rid of your glasses, then, but it is a versatile program with a lot of options, and if you're concerned about the effects of lengthy PC sessions on your eyesight then we'd certainly give it a try.
Eye Pro tricks and technologies may vary in their usefulness, but there's still plenty here to help improve your eye health

Designed and manufactured in the USA, the new U22 Neos is a single-action .22 LR caliber plinking semiauto pistol.
Although designed with the entry-level pistol shooter in mind, it is also ideal for training and can be adapted to the needs of experienced users. Its modular construction makes it easy to modify with a variety of options and accessories, while still being affordable both as a base pistol and as a fully-accessorized system.
Even while designing a plinking pistol to be used for informal shooting, Beretta did not cut corners. The lines of the Neos bear the unmistakable flavor of renown Italian designer Giugiaro--the same mind behind several of our most attractive offerings. The result is a sleek and ergonomic rimfire pistol that feels as good in the hands as it pleases the eyes.
The Neos is constructed of five modular parts that may be easily disassembled and reassembled without any tools. The ergonomic grips are constructed of super-durable fiberglass-reinforced technopolymer with non-slip inserts for a comfortable and warm hold. The barrel is available either in the classic Beretta blue finish, or in stainless steel ("Inox"), to satisfy the tastes of every shooter. Most of these elements may be replaced with the rich assortment of accessories that is available for this fun .22 semiauto.
Reliable, durable, easy to maintain and remarkably accurate, the Neos features an integral rail that accepts Weaver-style scope mounts as well as a fully-adjustable target rear sight. The firearm is also equipped with a cocked firing pin indicator at the rear of the pistol. The single stack, 10-round stainless-steel magazine features an easy-grip knob that allows you to compress the spring from outside, thereby making loading extremely quick and easy. The ambidextrous manual safety can be engaged with the firing pin cocked or uncocked. If you are in the market for a superbly-engineered plinking or practice pistol, give the Neos a close look--it won't fail to surpass your expectations.
Also available in stainless steel as the U22 Neos Inox.
Locate Beretta Dealer closest to you.
This fun training and plinking pistol offers users of all experience levels the ability to adjust the sights quickly and easily.
Train and shoot with both hands thanks to the ambidextrous safety on the Neos.
Taking your Neos apart and keeping it clean is easy thanks to its tool-free disassembly design. Simply turn the disassembly wheel with your fingers, and the barrel unit becomes separated from the rest of the pistol.
Easily accessorize this pistol thanks to the built-in Weaver accessory rail, which can accommodate sighting devices and much more.

I have found the quotes, lots of them but don't know where to begin to find out where they came from. :confused: One of them is from 2003. I had a hard time finding anyof my own old logs to send in unless it was very recent. Is there something I'm missing or it just a matter of weeding though cache logs?

- The Galleon insider-trading case, in which billionaire Raj Rajaratnam was charged and the securities-rating firm Moody's was implicated? Has been assigned to Judge Jed Rakoff. Yeah, this Jed Rakoff. (I hope the judge is taking extremely good care of his health, if you know what I mean, because he is making life intolerable for some very, very wealthy and powerful people.)
- Former Fed Chairman Paul Volcker, who got us both into and out of the '81-'82 recession, thinks we need to kind of restore the Glass-Steagall Act, which kept commercial banks from doing investments (and being dragged under when those investments went south) before its 1999 repeal. But he's having trouble selling that idea to all the Goldman Sachs alumni on Team Obama.
- If this hearing in fact happens tomorrow — I read or heard somewhere it could get delayed — it could get real ugly real fast for Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke and former Treasury Secretary Hank Paulson. Hell, it might even get ugly for current Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner. I'd be OK with any and/or all suffering some consequences, because you don't have to be a Harvard MBA to know Bank of America shareholders got screwed.
- Speaking of Hank Paulson, turns out that while he was still secretary, he met in Moscow with the board of Goldman Sachs. But nothing improper happened. Really. Move along; nothing to see here. These are not the droids banksters you're looking for.
- Dana Perino, concern troll. Memo: advice on how to conduct yourself from a PR standpoint from someone who used to take money to call people traitors and supporters of terrorists is probably not worth what you're paying for it.
- Shorter Congressman Jeb Hanserling (R-Texas): I'm here to protect banks; screw the consumers.
- Another Republican, this time John McCain, thinks another earmark, this one $325,000 for earthquake study in Memphis, is a waste of money, and once again is wrong. Three words: New Madrid Fault.
- Shorter Timothy Noah: Whatever happened to, you know, reporting?; or, The public option was always popular, you morons — you just pretended otherwise or weren't paying attention.
- More Noah, because this is just so good and so true: "Political reporters are momentum junkies, forever plotting out momentary trends to infinity. If they were meteorologists, they'd interpret 90-degree temperatures in July to predict 160-degree temperatures in December."
- John Cole righteously dopeslaps neocon pinhead Pete Wehner.
- Sure, Sarah Palin's $29 book can become a bestseller — when you sell it for $9 or give it away with a magazine subscription.
- The Bush and Obama administrations actually threatened not to share intelligence with the U.K. if it released evidence of our torture of a guy named Binyam Mohammed. (Yeah, let's stop sharing info with our oldest and most trusted ally. Genius.) Fortunately, Britain's highest court is calling their bluff.
- The maker of Tasers, which has long claimed that Tasers aren't lethal, now concedes that they might be, potentially, well, a little bit, um, lethal. I'm guessing someone finally talked to their lawyer and figured that just maybe they might want to do a little butt-covering.
- Socialism … and its potential benefits.
- OTOH, let's foster competition and innovation, not hinder it.
Finally, a bit of a health-care roundup:
- The House Judiciary Committee voted 20-9 today to strip the health-insurance industry of its federal antitrust exemption. This is such a good idea that three Republicans even went along with it. I dearly hope my own representative, Howard Coble, was one of them. (thomas.loc.gov hasn't been updated yet so I don't know.)
- You can too get a hip replacement under the Canadian health-care system even if you're of retirement age. Ignore the urban legends/propaganda.
- Sen. Richard Burr's health-care reform plan: fail. Not epic fail, not actual sabotage of what the bill purports to support, but also not enough recognition of certain economic and financial realities.
- Expand Medicare to include — well, anyone who wants in? That's a public option even some Blue Dogs can believe in.
- And even if we choose a real public option, the Congressional Budget Office says it won't cost as much as opponents have been claiming.
- Apparently, U.S. Sen. Arlen Specter had no idea that some people were unable to start their own businesses, or stuck in jobs they hate or aren't suited for, because they can't afford the health insurance costs they'd have to pay if they made those moves. I mean, c'mon, how imaginative do you have to be before that possibility occurs to you?
- Last but not least, Al Franken humbles a Hudson Institute hack on health-care finance:
Senator Al Franken: I think we disagree on whether or not the healthcare reform we're talking about now in Congress should pass. And you said that, kind of the way we're going will increase bankruptcies. I want to ask you, how many bankruptcies because of medical crises were there last year in Switzerland?
Diana Furchtgott-Roth: I don't have that number in front of me but I could find out and get back to you.
Franken: I can tell you how many it was. It's zero. Do you know how many medical bankruptcies there were last year in France?
Furchtgott-Roth: I don't have that number but I can get back to you if you like.
Franken: The number is zero.

Living In London – People and Personalities
Living in London means that you're surrounded by the history of a country that shaped the very face of this magnificent city. While our Saturday series 'Weekend Away', takes a slightly more humorous approach to the events in history that have had an impact on London and England, our Sunday Series, 'People and Personalities' looks at the people that have played an important part in making the United Kingdom what it is today. We'll be taking a trip through history to examine the lives of extraordinary people who each made a contribution to Great Britain.


text: Marnetmar Posted August 5, 2011 http://pc.ign.com/articles/118/1186233p1.html QuakeCon 2011 is underway, and most of the talk this year is about Rage, id Software's first major release since Doom 3. It's a sensible focus considering Rage comes out in less than two months, but still, what's going on with Doom 4, first announced way back in 2008? According to id Software president Todd Hollenshead, we've still got some waiting to do before we hear any details. "id Tech 5 is the basis for Doom 4, and I guess infer what you will…What we're really focused on is getting Rage out the door. Once we're to that point, then we want to transition to how we're going to present Doom 4, what are the talking points, how do we introduce it. Because that stuff hasn't even been determined yet. We're talking about that internally." "I know everybody's interested," he said. "I am too." Aw shit. 0 Share this post Link to post

Rolf Harris, a veteran entertainer who has released hit singles and painted Queen Elizabeth II's portrait, has been arrested as part of a police investigation into sexual abuse allegations stemming from the Jimmy Savile scandal, British media reported Friday.
Major media outlets followed The Sun newspaper in identifying Harris, an Australian-born artist, musician and television host who is a household name in Britain.
He was first questioned by police in November but not arrested. He was arrested in March and released on bail pending further inquiries.
Asked about Harris, London's Metropolitan Police said they would not name suspects who have not been charged.
Police said an 82-year-old man in Berkshire, west of London, was arrested March 28 as part of Operation Yewtree, an investigation launched after revelations that Savile targeted hundreds of young victims over five decades. Savile died in 2011 at age 84.
Police said the allegations against the man were not directly connected to Savile.
Harris, who lives in Berkshire and turned 83 on March 30, has been a British entertainment stalwart for decades. He has had musical hits with "Tie Me Kangaroo Down, Sport" - which he once performed with The Beatles - and "Two Little Boys."
He also has hosted television shows, painted an official portrait of the queen for her 80th birthday in 2006, and performed at the monarch's Diamond Jubilee concert last year.
A dozen people have been arrested as part of the Yewtree investigation, including former pop star Gary Glitter and celebrity publicist Max Clifford. Former chauffeur David Smith, 66, is the only person to have been charged.

For the week ending 7 July 2007 / 21 Tammuz 5767
The Considerate Listener
During the time that Rav Eliezer Shach lived in Jerusalem there was an elderly Jew who had arrived from the Soviet Union who made a point of approaching this great sage every Shabbat Eve between Kabbalat Shabbat and Ma'ariv services. He would relate to him all the local and foreign news of the week.
This totally surprised the other worshippers who were familiar with the tremendous dedication to Torah study that eventually developed Rav Shach into the Torah leader of his generation. When they finally got up the courage to ask him why he did not simply tell this fellow to leave him alone, this was his reply:
"This lonely Jew looks forward an entire week to do what he thinks is a great service to me by sharing all the news he has read. Should I disappoint him by telling him that I am not interested?"

Heat up oil in a heavy skillet, and sauté the burdock for 3 to 4 minutes. Lay the carrots on top. Add water to just cover the burdock. Cover and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low, and simmer for 20 to 25 minutes. Reduce the heat to low, add the shoyu, cover and cook another 5 minutes. Remove the cover, mix and cook off most of the remaining liquid. Toss in the green onion the last minute of cooking. Place in a dish and sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds for garnish
Root vegetables such as parsnip, turnip, fresh or Eden Dried Lotus Root Slices, Eden Dried Daikon Radish or rutabaga may be substituted for burdock root. Organic sweet corn is also delicious added at the end of the recipe.Eden Dried Tofu is also very delicious.

Niambi Hayes, 39, of Mt. Airy, a respiratory therapist and priestess in the Yoruba tradition, a West African religion that reached the Americas with the slave trade, looks up from making a spiritual necklace to give me a warning. "Be careful of whose voice you heed," says Nikki, as family and friends call her. Then she strings on a blue bead beside a white one in a necklace representing Yemaya, a Yoruba deity of maternity and the sea.
Nikki learned early about the danger of poor advice. A high school guidance counselor told her she would fail in college. "The woman left me feeling shocked and defeated," says Nikki, who has since earned an advanced college degree. "I began to cut classes and skip school."
Born and raised in Brooklyn, New York, home to a robust Yoruba community, Nikki and her mother sought direction from friends, including educators. Nikki eventually entered college, but felt frustrated because she couldn't pin down a major. Her mother suggested a consultation through divination with Oyá, a deity, or Orisha, associated with the wind and life's first and last breaths. "When I was seven years old, Oyá was marked as my guardian angel," Nikki said. "During the consultation about college, Oyá said there was a field of study where I would excel but that I'd overlooked. My mom and I went through the course catalogue, and when my mom saw respiratory therapy she said, 'How about this field? It's very Oyá-like.'"
By May of 1997, Nikki finished her associate's degree in applied respiratory therapy from New York University and a concurrent bachelor's degree in that field at Pace University. Then she made another crucial choice. Afraid that her oldest son, now 19 but four at the time, would get lost in the New York City School System, she moved to Philly in 1998 on the advice of Elegua, the Orisha of the crossroads and one's destiny. "He's consulted about key life decisions," Nikki says.
Nikki soon joined the staff of St. Christopher's Hospital as a respiratory care practitioner specializing in neonatal intensive care and pediatrics. "Sick infants often have trouble breathing," says Nikki, whose second child was born in 2001. "The parents need the truth, but also gentleness."
Around the time Nikki arrived in Philadelphia, the city inched toward recognition of traditional West African religions. The controversy about celebrating Odunde, the festival held each June in Grays Ferry to honor Oshun, a Yoruba deity of beauty and harmony, had cooled. In 1998, Gro Mambo Angela Novanyan Idizol, high priestess of Vodun, founded the National African Religion Congress. "I attended the celebration in honor of religions like Yoruba, Akan, Vodun and Santeria," Nikki said.
Nikki became active in the local Yoruba community. In 2002, after months of spiritual preparation and buying the all-white clothes she would need for a year, she became a priestess. "When I was at a gathering of mediums, one of the mediums told me, 'One day you'll be a channeling medium,'" said Nikki, now much-sought after for her connection to Oyá.
Nikki's skill, empathy and intuition as a therapist seemed to grow in tandem with her spiritual development. "I had lots of patients with cystic fibrosis (CF)," she said. "In that illness, the movement of the cilia, tiny hairs that line the lungs, doesn't work well. Mucous can thicken in the lungs and make it hard to breathe. You're with a CF patient four times a day, a half-hour each time. You explain the importance of taking medication and the value of certain activities. You form relationships. The other day I spoke with a kid I met when he was seven or eight. Now he's 20. I attribute my patience in my professional and spiritual life to my years at St. Chris, although I now work at Pennsylvania Hospital."
Nikki relied on that patience and experience in neonatal intensive care when she gave birth to premature twins herself six years ago. (Nikki has never been married.) "My twins were born at 28 weeks," she said. "I didn't ride the emotional roller coaster of asking myself, 'What did I do wrong?' I knew it was their journey. I don't think it was a mistake. I don't beat myself up, but I have to be vigilant. They both have special needs. As an African American, I have to fight harder. I'm not throwing a pity party; that's just the way it is. I don't have a chance to rest emotionally. My spiritual life, clinical experience and the support of elders and parents allow me to remain strong."
The spiritual necklaces also help. "I usually pray as I do beadwork," said Nikki, who sometimes makes fashion necklaces. "It's calming once you get into a rhythm."
In 2008, Nikki returned to school "on the advice of Orisha," and in June, Nikki received a master's degree in public health administration and education from St. Joseph's University.
Nikki holds a necklace, and maybe her life, up to the light, to see their pattern and sparkle. "I've met every challenge as a clinician, and my empathy for disadvantaged children has deepened because of my twins," she said. "Maybe in the future I could bring those two aspects together as an advocate for children fighting for services from insurers, almost like case management. I'm not a licensed social worker, but I can review charts, read diagnosis codes and use the knowledge gained in earning my master's degree."
Whatever path she chooses, the voice of Orisha will guide her. "It's unfortunate that many people are judgmental about spirituality," said Nikki, who's traveled to Cuba and northern Brazil, strongholds of Yoruba culture. "If we could just accept one another, we would have more peace."
You can reach Nikki at firstname.lastname@example.com. Constance Garcia-Barrio, of Mt. Airy, has taught Spanish language courses at all levels at West Chester University, and she recently became initiated as a Yoruba priestess. "That blessing means recovering West African dance, language and spirituality suppressed during slavery and later worn thin by urban life," she explained. "I realize that certain things my late mother, a Virginia-bred farm gal, did hark back to West Africa. For example, if mom didn't want a visitor to return, she would sweep from where that person had last stood all the way out to the street to remove the visitor's energy. Becoming a priestess lets me gather up pieces of a West African heritage and walk through life in them like a sheltering quilt. I'm wearing white clothing during my year as an initiated because that color represents cleanliness, purity and calm." Garcia-Barrio has just completed a novel based on black history in Philadelphia, which includes Yoruba rituals. She can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Dropbox file synchronisation and sharing is very popular but insecure. That's the cry from start-ups pushing their sync 'n' share products to business users.
With the proliferation of smart, internet-connected devices – laptops, tablets, smartphones and desktops – all built by different suppliers, there is a need to share files, emails, calendars, contact lists and the like across them, and then to synchronise the changes made on one device to all the others.
A rash of consumer products have sprung up to fill this gap, with Dropbox being an industry leader, and Box.net another. Startups are eager to prise open corporate wallets by supplying Dropbox-like functionality to biz users so the ones that bring their own devices (BYOD) can share and sync files safely with the corporate IT system.
Two have announced products. One is OwnCloud, which has an existing open-source file sync-and-share product with more than 400,000 users. The firm has launched two commercial offerings based on v3.0 of its community edition.
- OwnCloud Business extends the core ownCloud Community 3 infrastructure and adds maintenance and support, an AGPL license, and has support for open source plug-ins.
- OwnCloud Enterprise adds an ownCloud commercial license, a management console for easy deployment and management and enablement of commercial plug-ins.
The new products include any-time, any-device access to files and introduce sync clients for Linux and Windows, as well as mobile apps for Android and iOS. There is also easier management, support and maintenance subscriptions, plug-ins and commercial licences.
OwnCloud users can run their own file sync-and-share services on their own hardware and storage, use popular public hosting and storage offerings, or both. There don't seem to be any special security aspects of the offering and we guess the security comes from running the thing on your own servers.
the second vendor, TeamDrive, which we first covered in March has announced TeamDrive 3.0 for iOS, which delivers secure and private access to cloud data for iPhone and iPad business users. TeamDrive says it's "the world's only cloud synchronisation tool with a data protection seal of approval."
All data is "encrypted on the originating device before upload, preventing meaningful unauthorised interception. RSA-2048 encryption is used on invitations to share AES-256 encrypted files on any TeamDrive Space. The sum of its security features ensures that TeamDrive is Safe Harbor-compliant""
TeamDrive may be used with any choice of server: private cloud, public cloud, TeamDrive cloud or on-site; it's like ownCloud in that regard. A TeamDrive Android app will be announced shortly, with support for BlackBerry and Windows Mobile Phones following in the summer.
TeamDrive 3.0 for IOS is said to be in Apple's App Store – it didn't show up when I looked though. You can get it from a German iTunes site however. Accessing this from a desktop or notebook gets you a free IOS client app in iTunes which is downloaded to your iPhone or iPad when you next sync it.
TeamDrive app on iPhone
Both ownCloud Business and ownCloud Enterprise are available now. Pricing for ownCloud Business starts at $999 a year ($100 a month) for up to 50 users. OwnCloud Enterprise starts at $15,000 a year (or $1,500 a month) for up to 250 users. ®
