Now that I have the hang of the tour business, I know I can weasel a minimum half-day camel ride by choosing the right time and place. Notwithstanding an obsessive-compulsive tour leader. Tours have a certain-shall we say-conformity. The spirit of adventure applies to reasonable defiance in the face of regimentation ... and the best companies are flexible.
In a list of attractive no-escorted-tour opportunities, Timbuktu gives you the complete and unabridged Sahara but I hear the outlaws have a nasty habit of kidnapping foreigners. Libya offers (i.e. offered) a desert oasis where you can stay for days in modest comfort and ride from sunrise to sunset.
Would you believe Texas has at least one camel enterprise? I do my research. With respect, Texas lacks cachet in the exotic department, although I could bring my cowboy boots. On second thought, Doug actually takes people into the Sinai and has deep contacts there.
But my preference is for camel countries + Bedouin. It's been over a year and the restlessness grows. The trip to Syria—aaahh, a full day on the majestic animal among the glorious Palmyra ruins—was cancelled for sadly understandable reasons.
|Mazayina Al Dahfra 2010, http://aldhafrafestival.ae/?Lang=EN
At Beidha near Petra is a camp with day trips on camels but let's be real here, it's for young people who can sleep on the ground all night and still stand up uncrippled in the morning. On the other end of the scale are the stunningly expensive Abu Dhabi luxury versions in the Liwa desert. Sinai resorts sound grossly over-commercialized. Iraq is still rather scary.
While I wait for Syria to settle down, it's tempting to plan a solo trip. Oman has the lure of The Empty Quarter desert. Israel has the Negev desert with the plus of a near-relative living in Jerusalem and a minus for a camel farm with extremely spartan (the aching back again) vegetarian overnight quarters. Wadi Rum in Jordan is burnt into my psyche, having visited twice and loved it. Lack of Arabic and nuances of the language, without a reliable and fluent interpreter, would be like an egg without salt.
Verdict on hold as political events unfold. One more nostalgic review up my sleeve. Then, ... what would Gertrude Bell do? Need I ask. I leave you, temporarily, with this pithy Arabic proverb:
"On the first of March, the crows begin to search."

In between, the 49ers scored 17 points, and turned what looked for all the world like a blowout in the making into a game. Let the conspiracy theories begin.

We're Alive.....Barely
You know how people always tell you that when you have a baby you are basically trading in your sleep? I thought all those people were full of bologna (which really SHOULD be spelled bologny) when I first had Evans. I mean, I was tired, but I wasn't THAT tired and then the kid slept through the night at 7 weeks old. What more could I ask for? Having a baby was, dare I say, easy? Evans the perfect angel.
Then I got the flu. The kind where I was pretty sure I had one foot in the grave already. I swear, I haven't been that sick since I moved into the dorm my freshman year of college. I don't even care to tell you how long ago that was. I truly thought death was coming to take me, and I was okay with that. Cause death meant I didn't have to have that stinking flu anymore! Then I got better. And Evans got sick. That perfect angel baby? Out the window.
If I could have volunteered to have the flu for 3 more weeks and kept my child from getting sick, I would have. Because there is NOTHING worse than having a sick baby. Oh wait, there is........having a sick baby that is cutting two bottom teeth at the same time. There. Nothing is worse than that. Since last wednesday, 6 days ago, we have been to the doctor 4 times. At least our pediatrician is hot. Poor Evans has had bronchial pneumonia and at first, wasn't able to even keep down his medicine. Or his food. Or his bottle. Wait, I should also mention, Deaner was out of town. So here I am coming off 5 days of the worst flu of my life, and I'm dealing with pitiful Evans. Every time I would lay him down in his crib he would start coughing so hard that whatever was in his stomach would come up. His doctor played around with the idea of having him admitted to the hospital so he could receive his medicine via shots. Thankfully the throwing up stopped.
Now here we are 6 days later and still doing 3 breathing treatments a day. We saw the pediatrician this morning and he added yet another medication to the breathing nebulizer because E was still wheezing. On the whole, we are on the mend. Evans is still up multiple times a night and it is starting to wear on me, but at least he is getting better. I'm hoping that in another week we are WELL. I'm also hoping that E doesn't kick over his new bottle of cough medicine because it makes for a long night without it. Even if you can manage to wring some out of the bathroom bathmat!
Oh yeah, during all this I also hosted Steph's baby shower! It was a lot of fun and I definitely want to share some picture with y'all. Just not right this second. I have a fabulous looking stew on the stove and I'm waiting on Deaner to get home from the gym. This is the first week since we returned to Germany in January that he has been home all week. I love it when he is here but have to say that sleeping horizontally in the bed is MUCH more comfy! :) Tomorrow I will play catch up and post some pictures! Sorry mom, you will just have to deal with this post not having any!

WASHINGTON (AP) — Staring at the specter of a partial government shutdown, Sen. John McCain says he's never seen anything like the harsh partisanship pervading much of Washington politics.
The Arizona Republican, serving his fifth term, says "we are dividing the Republican Party rather than attacking Democrats."
Appearing Friday on "CBS This Morning," McCain said he wouldn't judge the motives of Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, who conducted a more than 21-hour speech marathon in the Senate this week against Obamacare. But he also said that "I have not seen" anything like the gridlock that now has left the country facing a federal shutdown by Tuesday.
McCain called the federal government "very dysfunctional." He was asked about divisions within the GOP over what strategy should be used to kill Obama's signature health care program.

Introduction to topic "Towards the legal recognition and governance of ecosystem services"
A Iza
LLM (University of London); Master of International Relations and Interntional Law (University of Belgrano, Argentina); Doctor of Laws (University of Buenos Aires); Post-doctorate studies (University of Hamburg). Director, IUCN Environmental Law Centre, Bonn, Germany and Head, IUCN Environmental Law Programme. Email: email@example.com
On behalf of the IUCN Environmental Law Centre, the IUCN Academy of Environmental Law and the IUCN Commission on Environmental Law, I would like to introduce you to the topic of this Journal "Towards the legal recognition and governance of ecosystem services." First of all, I would like to thank the Co-Chairs of the Academy's Research Committee and the Deputy Chair of the IUCN Commission on Environmental Law for this initiative and I am most happy to see that, throughout its organisation, collaboration between the three organisations has continued to grow. We organised our first joint-workshop in 2011 in Ghent, Belgium, just before the IUCN Academy's 8th annual colloquium. The feeling that we all had as the successful event came to an end, was that this collaboration should be repeated on an annual basis. The 2011 Mpekweni Workshop revolved around legal frameworks for the recognition and governance of ecosystem services. Maintaining healthy ecosystems and the continuing provision of services such as water supply or climate regulation is key to ensuring present and future human livelihoods, the fulfillment of the Millennium Development Goals and for any form of poverty alleviation strategy.
The question of the recognition and governance of such services arises since growing populations and rising standards of living, pollution and natural disasters are leading to the overexploitation or destruction of such services rendering effective governance central to their preservation. However, there is no uniform pattern for their regulation and the use of instruments for their governance varies enormously.
The workshop at Mpekweni focused first of all on the question of the recognition of ecosystem services, since some countries not recognising such services in law. While ecosystem goods, such as food, water or timber are palpable and their value for human well-being is well known, ecosystem services, such as water purification or the prevention of soil erosion, are less obvious and people are often not aware of them at all. Giving value to ecosystem services raises a series of questions, such services being intangible.
In 2012 major conferences focused on this theme (the UN Conference on Sustainable Development (Rio+20), the IUCN 5th World Conservation Congress and the 11th Conference of the Parties of the Convention on Biological Diversity) but did not reach consensus as how to deal with ecosystem services.
The governance of ecosystem services also raises complex questions which relate to the fact that the specific services which an ecosystem provides vary broadly from ecosystem to ecosystem. Ecosystems can produce goods like food, fiber, timber or fuel; they can regulate weather patterns and the climate as a whole at regional and global scales; and they can build a framework for cultural and recreational activities. Ecosystems can also support these provisioning, regulating and also cultural processes through soil formation or pollination for the production of food for example. It is also crucial to understand the relative value of different ecosystem services to different groups in society in order to be able to design appropriate governance mechanisms.
In addition to this, there is a wide range of governance strategies and instruments which exist for the regulation of ecosystem services. Instruments range from topdown regulations which leave no room for individual discretion, to more flexible market instruments where individuals are free to make their own decisions within a given framework.
As an example of a market-based instrument, the IUCN-Environmental Law Centre has been working on the issue of payments for ecosystem services (PES) for a number of years. In 2009, the Law Centre and the Katoomba Group worked on a joint-initiative to analyse the legal and institutional frameworks of water-related PES schemes and projects in four Andean countries, namely Brazil, Bolivia, Colombia and Peru. A publication was released at the end of the year 2009 entitled "Payments for Ecosystem Services - Legal and institutional frameworks".1
The diversity of approaches and experiences linked to the recognition and governance of ecosystem services is reflected in the variety of topics that is reflected in this publication. It is hoped that comparative examples will help illustrate the extent to which we are moving towards the recognition and governance of ecosystem services.

Novell has announced the general availability of its ZENworks 11 product in a bid to bring the four products within its endpoint management portfolio into one unified platform: ZENworks Configuration Management, ZENworks Asset Management, ZENworks Patch Management and ZENworks Endpoint Security Management. The company's aim is for this product to be seen as a so-called "single pane of glass" for IT administrators to manage devices, patch applications, secure endpoints, and track software license compliance.
Built (as is the current norm) to straddle physical, virtual, and cloud environments while meeting short-term needs such as Windows 7 migrations, ZENworks 11 is designed to approach identity-based management based on who is using devices and where those devices are located.
Claiming to offer higher levels of productivity and security, other features in ZENworks 11 include the ability to configure Windows power management settings, perform out-of-band power management tasks using Intel vPro monitoring, maintenance, and management technology — and manage and patch Windows and Linux devices all from a single console.
"Whether migrating to Windows 7 or managing remote offices, ZENworks 11 allows organizations to manage users, minimize interruptions, and improve service levels. ZENworks 11 is core to our WorkloadIQ strategy and is specifically designed to grow and evolve as the emerging intelligent workload management market evolves,"" said Jim Ebzery, senior VP and GM for Security, Management and operating platforms at Novell.

Kim Clijsters won the U.S. Open in just her third tournament back after 2 1/2 years of retirement and 18 months after the birth of her daughter.
The unseeded, unranked Belgian beat No. 9 Caroline Wozniacki of Denmark 7-5, 6-3 on Sunday night to become the first mother to win a Grand Slam title since Australian Evonne Goolagong Cawley at Wimbledon in 1980. It's Clijsters' second major championship — she also won at Flushing Meadows in 2005, her last appearance at the Open.
The 26-year-old Clijsters hasn't even played enough matches to be ranked, and she needed a wild card to get into the tournament. She's the first woman not in the top 10 of the WTA rankings to win the U.S. Open.
U.S. & World
The 19-year-old Wozniacki had never been past the fourth round at a major.
With daughter Jada in the stands, Clijsters dropped to her knees after her overhead slam clinched the match.
Clijsters beat five of the top 18 players in the world en route to the title, including both Williams sisters. Her stellar performance against Serena Williams in Saturday's semifinal was overshadowed by Williams' outburst that resulted in a penalty to decide the final point of the match.

Noosa National Park, a chunk of wild coastline jutting into the ocean, is understandably one of Australia's most visited parks. Wallum heaths, woodlands and pockets of rainforest with hoop and kauri pine are important refuges for wildlife, including koalas and rare glossy black-cockatoos. Explore the picturesque Noosa Headland along a selection of five tracks, ranging from one kilometre to eight kilometres and catering to all fitness levels. Walk past rocky shorelines and spiky pandanus, through woodlands and rainforests with piccabeen palms, to wide beaches or lofty lookouts. In the Peregian section, stroll to the ocean beach. In the Emu Mountain section, on your way to the summit, discover wildflowers. In the East Weyba section, along unmarked vehicle trails, watch for birds – but
keep to the trails at all times.
The pictures are taken at the entrance of the Noosa River.It is such a picturesque spot everywhere you look.If you look up river, across the heads or up to the point, natures beauty just oozes out. There is plenty of things going on for all the family. A good place to swim, fish,kayak, jetski, boating.Its water activities to the max.

Despite that, Wells's anti-lynching campaign had been going on for many years, and this speech had an historic occasion as its backdrop: The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People's first annual conference, held in Atlanta, Georgia, in 1909. An NAACP founder, Wells was a natural choice as a speaker for this group, yet it was anything but a feel-good speech for the home crowd.
"This Awful Slaughter" has a structure in common with other Wells speeches, and Professor Karlyn Kohrs Campbell explains it in this paper on the rhetoric of black women speakers of the era:
First, as in her writings, she used evidence and argument in highly sophisticated ways, ways that prevented members of the audience from dismissing her claims as biased or untrue. Second, the speech was an insightful and sophisticated analysis of the interrelationship of sex, race, and class. Third, in contrast to the rhetorical acts of women, this speech contained no stylistic markers indicating attempts by a woman speaker to appear "womanly" in what is perceived as a male role-that of rhetor.However, Wells tied lynching to women, directly and firmly, noting early in her speech that "crimes against women is the excuse, not the cause" of lynching. She expanded on that point, using the term by which we know the speech today, and turning the argument back on the supporters of lynching:
What is the cause of this awful slaughter? This question is answered almost daily— always the same shameless falsehood that "Negroes are lynched to protect womanhood"....This is the never-varying answer of lynchers and their apologists. All know that it is untrue. The cowardly lyncher revels in murder, then seeks to shield himself from public execration by claiming devotion to woman. But truth is mighty and the lynching record discloses the hypocrisy of the lyncher as well as his crime.What can you learn from this famous speech?
- Jump right in: No thanking everyone and their brother here. Instead of the niceties, Wells's first paragraph packs several punches. It shares her three-point outline, letting the audience in on her argument, begins serving up data, and sets the stage for why her audience should care. Would that your first paragraphs did as much.
- Use data to advantage: Wells used data cleverly. As Campbell notes, her data prevented skeptics from challenging her--after all, advocates of lynching were relying on vague emotional arguments, not numbers, to make their case. At the same time, it brought under scrutiny a practice carried out in secret, and gave weight to an emotionally charged topic. Not bad for statistics. One of the most dramatic paragraphs in the speech picks apart an argument using actual data on the reasons given for lynchings in one area. To this audience, those numbers were real people.
- Include a call to action for the conference: When organizations meet, they typically use the occasion to make and publicize policy decisions.Wells did not miss the opportunity, offering that "it would be a beginning in the right direction if this conference can see its way clear to establish a bureau for the investigation and publication of the details of every lynching," and made clear that the goal of fact-gathering would be public information to sway both public opinion and media coverage. If you're speaking before a group's annual meeting, don't miss the chance to encourage its action on your cause. Wells did so by underscoring her use of data with a call for more data, cementing the impact of one of her core themes.

Student or Learner
Hello everyone,
I'm very pleased to be one of the members of this forum.
actually, I'm doing a research in semantics I want the non literal use of these words, such as metaphors, similes, proverbs,idioms, or anything that is non literal.I mean how we express the meaning of these words in a non literal way. The answer does not have to be from standard English, it could be slang or colloquial English. Here are the words:
1. ways to express certainty such as I bet you, I'm 100% sure of something.
2. expressions to say that someone is brave or to talk about bravery in general such as brave as a lion.
3.expressions to say that something is very old and it cannot be used any more i.e something withered.
4. expressions to talk about clothes ande appearances such as you are shinning like a new penny.
5. expressions to lessen the importance or the magnitude of someone such as he does not worth a penny.
6. expressions of guilt
Thanks a lot for everyone

Longtime naturalist, conservationist, birder, business and civic leader James Martin Stewart died on April 19 at the age of 87 from complications after a fall.
Born November 29, 1925 in Philadelphia, Stewart, known as Jim, attended Chestnut Hill Academy and graduated from the Avon Old Farms School in 1943. He received his BA in Economics in 1950 from Trinity College, where he was a member of the Trinity Pipes and St. Anthony Hall. He attended the Wharton School of Business of the University of Pennsylvania.
He joined the U. S. Army Air Corps during World War II and served as a 2nd Lieutenant and navigator in the 7th Emergency Rescue Squadron out of Hickam Field in Oahu, Hawaii. He was employed at SmithKline & French in several capacities, before serving on the Board of Directors at SmithKline Beckman Corporation.
Stewart was a founder, longtime member and former chairman of the Wissahickon Valley Watershed Association (WVWA), which honored him in 2010 as a Trailblazer. At WVWA, Stewart was the creator of the Green Ribbon Trail, a 21-mile recreational trail along the Wissahickon Creek. In 1965 he pioneered one of the first conservation fairs. He was also a founder and driving force for the Wissahickon Birdathon, an annual event for birdwatchers.
Stewart served as a board member for numerous schools and conservation organizations including the Academy of Natural Sciences, Philadelphia Zoo, Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, Chestnut Hill Hospital, Nantucket Conservation Foundation, Nantucket Trustees of Reservations, the Hill at Whitemarsh and many other organizations in Philadelphia, Nantucket, Mass. and Stowe, VT.
In his spare time, Stewart was a long time singing member of the Orpheus Club of Philadelphia.
He is survived by his wife of 50 years, Joly Walton Stewart, his sister, Patricia Stewart Walsh, and six children: Lea A. Stewart of Campton, NH, James M. Stewart, Jr. of Ambler, Catherine L. Stewart of Manchester Center, VT, Mahlon K. Stewart of New York, NY, Elizabeth S. Hunter of Ambler, James H. Hunter of Mt. Shasta, CA and 6 grandchildren.
A memorial service will be held on Saturday, April 27 at 11 a.m. at St. Thomas' Church, Whitemarsh, Camp Hill Road and Bethlehem Pike, Fort Washington, PA. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Wissahickon Valley Watershed Association at 12 Morris Road, Ambler, PA 19002 or St. Thomas' Church, Whitemarsh, P.O. Box 247, Fort Washington, PA 19034.

As the patent battle between Samsung and Apple continues to drag on, Apple claims that they had tried to settle out of court between July and September 2010, before this whole hooplah started. This is important, because it would indicate that Samsung was fully aware of the patents it was infringing upon. The court filing where Apple claims these previous negotiations reads:
On or about August 4, 2010, Apple representatives met with Samsung in Korea and showed a presentation titled 'Samsung's Use of Apple Patents in Smartphones.' This presentation emphasized Samsung's copying of the iPhone and identified two of the patents-in-suit (the '002 and '381 patents), giving Samsung actual notice of at least these patents, and many more. On or about August 26, 2010, Apple sent Samsung an electronic archive file containing claim charts further illustrating Samsung's infringement of Apple patents. A presentationdocument that accompanied these claim charts identified the '002 and '381 patents as two patents that Samsung products infringed, and it substantiated these allegations with text from the patents and photographs of Samsung devices illustrating infringing functionality. Apple later presented these slides to Samsung at a meeting in Cupertino, California on or about September 9, 2010.
The disagreements between Samsung and Apple span design to 3G, and even the slide to unlock paradigm. Even as some of these complaints are resolved, there's no doubt that these two wireless giants will be grappling for months (if not years) to come.
It's also interesting given the comments made by Steve Jobs in his official biography, where he said he considered Android "grand theft" of iPhone ideas
"I will spend my last dying breath if I need to, and I will spend every penny of Apple's $40 billion in the bank, to right this wrong," Jobs said. "I'm going to destroy Android, because it's a stolen product. I'm willing to go thermonuclear war on this."
Jobs reportedly told then Google CEO and former Apple board member, Eric Schmidt:
"I don't want your money. If you offer me $5 billion, I won't want it. I've got plenty of money. I want you to stop using our ideas in Android, that's all I want."
So if Apple tried to negotiate, it likely wasn't for money but for Samsung (and other Android manufacturers) to stop using what he considered "Apple ideas". While Microsoft has been successful in getting Android manufacturers to pay them licensing fees, and they might have been amenable to working out a similar deal with Apple, simply removing functionality from their products could have been a deal-breaker.
Essentially, Microsoft seems content with merely making Android more expensive, while Apple wan't to make it less usable. Both want to make it less attractive, but Microsoft is targeting vendors,
It's hard to see the negotiations getting settled if those were the terms.

President Ronald Reagan is sworn in for his second term in a private ceremony on Jan. 20, 1985, with his wife, Nancy Reagan, at his side and Chief Justice Warren Burger administering the oath in the White House Cross Hall, Grand Staircase.
Updated at 12:15 p.m. ET: For the first time since Ronald Reagan's second term, a president has taken the oath of office for a term first in a private ceremony at the White House.
The Constitution says that the president must take office on Jan. 20. But if that's a Sunday, public inaugural festivities -- which for Obama will include a re-enactment of the swearing-in from Chief Justice John Roberts -– are saved for Monday.
So, Obama's swearing-in Sunday was a brief private affair in the Blue Room of the White House, an ornate oval room often used to receive official guests. Only Obama's immediate family and a few reporters attended. The ceremony was televised live and streamed live on the Internet.
Reagan's official ceremony took place at the grand North Entrance Hall to the White House, a roomy foyer where tours of the home exit onto Pennsylvania Avenue. Still, seating was limited so guests included family members of Reagan and Vice President George H.W. Bush as well as a smattering of legislative leaders and reporters.
The 1985 swearing-in of the president known as the Great Communicator was televised live. The ceremony was strikingly brief -- a few minutes at most. Reagan placed his left hand on a Bible given to him by his mother, then clearly repeated the 37-word oath recited by Chief Justice Warren Burger.

He then gave first lady Nancy a kiss, posed for a picture and briskly walked with Bush to the North Portico, where the two waved at White House press corps reporters outside.
That Sunday, however, might be better remembered for Super Bowl XIX between the San Francisco 49ers and the Miami Dolphins, which was played at Stanford Stadium in California.
A former California governor, Reagan made the opening coin toss from the White House. It was broadcast on TV via satellite hookup.
Quarterback Joe Montana, MVP of the game, threw three touchdown passes and ran for another in a 38-16 win over the Dan Marino-led Dolphins. The game was watched by some 85 million people.
Obama was sworn in well before kickoff of Championship Sunday games, in which teams vying for this year's Super Bowl will take the field.
So, why not just skip the rerun swearing-in on Monday?
According to Meena Bose, a professor and presidential scholar at Hofstra University in New York, since the Constitution calls only for a presidential transition at noon and the oath -- and nothing more -- that's possible. But inaugural celebrations are a tradition that goes back to George Washington.
"It would be a big problem politically for the president and his supporters and fundraisers. I'm not sure it would make a big difference to the public at large if there were no big celebrations, especially for the second inauguration," Bose said.
"In the 1980s, there was a sense that celebration was good," Bose said. "These are much tougher times now for the country, so it's certainly an occasion for celebration, but it's a more workmanlike state of mind now than it was 28 years ago."
In fact it was so bitterly cold in Washington in 1985 that the traditional outdoor inauguration was moved indoors to the Rotunda at the Capitol.
Reagan's son Ron Reagan, who provides commentary on msnbc, recalls the unusually severe temperatures and how they affected the events that Monday.
"Privileged attendees ended up packed like anchovies under the Capitol dome: family members, justices, new Cabinet members, scoundrels," Ron Reagan said in an email. "At least some of the parade was canceled over concerns that brass instruments would freeze to the lips of young marching band trumpeters, creating a grisly and appalling spectacle."
Obama will take it outdoors to the plaza at the Capitol, where he will take the oath again and give his inaugural address. The inaugural also coincides with Martin Luther King Day. An estimated 1.8 million people, the most ever to attend a inaugural ceremony, attended Obama's first inauguration, and more than 600,000 are expected to attend on Monday.
The weather forecast is partly cloudy with a high of 42 degrees and a low of 23, according to The Weather Channel.
Woodrow Wilson was the first president to be sworn into office on a Sunday, according to the Joint Congressional Committee on Inaugural Ceremonies website. Wilson took the office privately in the President's Room in the U.S. Capitol by Chief Justice Edward D. White. First lady Edith Bolling Wilson noted in her diary that she was the only woman present among the officials there that day.
"This simple ceremony (I was the only woman present) was more to our taste than the formal Inauguration which followed on Monday, March 5th," she wrote.
Abraham Lincoln swore the oath in front of an incomplete Capitol dome. Lyndon B. Johnson became president on Air Force One next to a dazed Jacqueline Kennedy. A collection of photographs from past presidential inaugurations.

Trailer FrenzyA special place to find the newest trailers for movies and TV shows you're craving.
Call us crazy, but when we first heard about Disney's Snow Queen movie Frozen we couldn't help but hum the Beauty and the Beast prologue music. Visions of ice castles and tall fur hats filled our minds. And now the first teaser for this new Disney epic has been released... and it's not what we expected.
Yes, yes, this is very cute and looks well done, but we were hoping for something a little more majestic. Less cartoon snow man, more fabulous fur cape. Oh well, it's just a silly teaser. Plus we have faith in the co-writer and co-director Jennifer Lee, who also made Wreck-It-Ralph.
Frozen will be released on November 27th.

Categorical Data Modeling

I was wondering if it was possible to have both a set of continuous latent factors indicated by a set of items and set of categorical latent factors measured by a separate set of indicators where both the continuous and categorical latent variables are predictors of another variable?
Bengt O. Muthen
posted on Friday, March 13, 2009 - 2:45 pm
Yes, that is possible.
Linda K. Muthen
posted on Friday, March 13, 2009 - 2:45 pm
When you say categorical latent factor, do you mean a factor with categorical factor indicators or do you mean a categorical latent variable as used in latent class analysis or mixture modeling to capture unobserved classes.
Jessica Musselman
posted on Tuesday, March 17, 2009 - 9:27 am
I mean the latter, the latent class analysis.
Jessica Musselman
posted on Tuesday, March 17, 2009 - 9:40 am
And I want to keep the items that indicate the factors in the model.
Jessica Musselman
posted on Wednesday, March 18, 2009 - 3:20 pm
So for example, I have a continuous factor f that is measured by items i_1 through i_5 and a latent class variable c with say three classes measured by items i_10 through i_30 and now I want to know what the syntax would be to perform a regression of another variable Y on f and c
Bengt O. Muthen
posted on Friday, March 20, 2009 - 12:23 pm
You say
f BY i1-i5;
y on f;
- and you don't have to say anything to have the y means vary as a function of c.
The i10-i30 variables are the c indicators by default in the sense that when you say
f BY i1-i5;
the i1-i5 variables will not have their means/thesholds varying across classes c because of the BY. Only i10-i30 will have means/thresholds varying across classes c, which is what you want for LCA.
Jessica Musselman
posted on Tuesday, March 24, 2009 - 5:20 pm
I'm sorry, I just can't see where c is in this model. To me it looks like only f (and i1-i5) are in the regression, but c and i10-i30 are not used at all as far as I can tell.
Bengt O. Muthen
posted on Tuesday, March 24, 2009 - 7:05 pm
It doesn't show in the Model specification because this is handled by default. You can see what Mplus does by looking either at the estimates or TECH1. TECH1 will show you thresholds/intercepts for the c indicators and for your y variable that vary across the latent classes.

I got a voice mail message last week from Leonardo DiCaprio. To my surprise, he doesn't want me to work up a script for his next film. Instead, he was calling to ask me to vote against Prop 23 -- and thus protect AB 32, the state's climate change law. I would have been happy to discuss the matter more with them, but he didn't leave me a number to call me back. Rude.
Last night, Susan Sarandon called my cell phone. It was her voice at least, though she didn't let me get in a word. She was talking fast about how I need to vote for Prop 19 and legalize and tax marijuana.
So-called robo-calls from politicians have become commonplace in elections across the country. In California, we have Hollywood celebrities make these calls. Movie stars are in particular demand for this work in ballot initiative campaigns, because these campaigns are about issues and don't have a human face, as candidate campaigns do.
U.S. & World
But do these calls work? There's very little evidence that they do. In fact, research cited in a very thoughtful New York Times magazine article suggests that phone calls from live, human volunteers are much more effective.

The City Tech english professor has served as the annual festival's director for three years.
"It's exciting to run something like the literary festival for the school and neighborhood, it's all about promoting the arts at the school," she said. "It brings together not only the City Tech community but also the community surrounding the college."
After Hellman took over the festival, she watched it grow tenfold. More people began attending, other than the required English classes. Hellman says that she perceived the community at the CUNY college and wanted to try to build the event around that.
This year, the festival's headliner will be Junot Diaz, the acclaimed author from the Dominican Republic, who has made New York his home.
Hellman said she wanted to reflect the college's – as well as Brooklyn's - diversity in choosing Diaz.
Another goal of hers is to foster school spirit through the event. Although City Tech is known for its engineering, architecture and other technical concentrations, Hellman said the response to the festival by students has been wonderful.
"The volunteer team really takes a lot of pride in participating," she said, calling the volunteer aspect an important element of the festival. "I'm impressed by the people who are skilled in engineering or radiology or architecture and yet they approach literature with a willingness and excitement about something that's outside their course of study."
When deciding where to teach, Hellman's eyes were set on a private liberal arts college. But after serving as an adjunct during her time at the CUNY Graduate Center, where she received her Ph.D in English, she realized she wanted to become involved in public education.
While teaching at CUNY, she said she encountered many "extraordinary, gifted students" who were talented but under-prepared for college coming out of the public school system.
"Their potential was limitless but they were dealing with a deficit through no fault of their own," she said. She became invested in urban education and her goal was to remain in CUNY.
Currently she is also the remedial writing program director at the college, where the Red Hook resident says her passion for teaching and helping students in need is rewarded even more.
"I definitely believe in equal access to education," she said. "Working with the City Tech students has been really rewarding."
The Literary Arts Festival will be held on Thursday, April 26.

STOCKTON - Ron Verlin officially was named the 20th head coach in the 102-year history of the Pacific men's basketball program Tuesday afternoon.
STOCKTON - Ron Verlin officially was named the 20th head coach in the 102-year history of the Pacific men's basketball program Tuesday afternoon.
Pacific athletic director Ted Leland made the announcement in front of players, recruits, boosters, fans and former coach Bob Thomason at Janssen-Lagorio Gymnasium on campus, citing Verlin's work ethic, loyalty and vision for the future as reasons for the promotion. Verlin signed a five-year contract for undisclosed financial terms Monday.
Verlin, 47, succeeds the retiring Thomason, who finished his 25th and final season at Pacific with a second-round loss to Miami in the NCAA Tournament on Friday. Verlin was by Thomason's side for the past 19 seasons as the associate coach and tabbed to be his successor by Leland near the end of the season with the final paperwork drawn up Monday.
"This is a great feeling," Verlin said. "It's all about the people for me. I have great relationships with professors all across this campus and some of my really good friends are people involved with this university. For me, it's about continuing those relationships I have developed over 19 years."
Leland said he had planned a national coaching search last May when Thomason announced his retirement, but after getting to know Verlin over that time and experiencing a season that ended with an NCAA Tournament berth, he decided not to interview anyone else.
"It was a gradual process, but I always knew Ron was going to be a strong candidate," Leland said. "It was about watching his day-to-day work. I became convinced Ron was the guy because we had the same vision about building the infrastructure of this program.
"We had some very intriguing coaches indicate an interest in the job, but in the end I thought this was the right thing to do. We want to create a great environment for our student-athletes, and Ron is the guy to do that."
Leland was pleased with Verlin's recruiting class: Modesto Christian High products T.J. Wallace and Raymond Bowles, German point guard David Taylor and center Gabriel Aguirre of City College of San Francisco. Verlin also could have nine scholarship players back next year and feels his front line will be the strength of the team with centers Tony Gill, Khalil Kelley and Tim Thomas, and forward Ross Rivera potentially back. Forward Trevin Harris, who will be a senior next year, said the returning players were rooting for Verlin to get the job.
"He's very high-energy, enthusiastic and he smiles a lot more than Coach T," Harris said. "He instills confidence in the players and he's such a likable guy, you want to play harder for him. He's a coach, while also being a friend and mentor."
Pacific will also retain assistant coaches Adam Jacobsen, Calvin Byrd and Joe Ford, and Verlin expects another addition to the staff. Jacobsen and Byrd both expressed relief at the announcement, as both are married with school-age children.
Coaching is the Verlin family business, as Ron's identical twin brother, Don, has been the head coach at Idaho since 2008, where he has posted an 81-78 record. Ron Verlin said he was in constant communication with his brother during this process and lucky to have him as a confidant.
"It's well deserved because all of the hard work he did as an assistant is paying off and the loyalty he showed to coach Thomason and the university was paid back," Don Verlin said. "We have so much in common, but the biggest thing is the work ethic instilled in us by our father."
The Verlins grew up on a ranch in Loomis with parents, Bob and Bonnie, and basketball quickly became their passion with one-on-one games readily available. Both played basketball at Del Oro High and later got their start as co-head coaches for the school's freshman team in 1987-88. Ron Verlin then coached at Sacramento-Christian Brothers High, before moving onto an assistant position at Sierra College in Rocklin. That led to an assistant job at Nevada from 1991-93 and a stop at Columbia College in 1993-94 prior to arriving at Pacific.
Verlin and his wife of 20 years, Barbie, have had three kids since arriving in Stockton in June 1994, with sons Trent (18), Nate (16) and daughter Kelsie (14) - all students at Lincoln High School. Verlin said the kids grew up on the bleachers at Spanos Center, so he's glad they can continue to enjoy the Pacific experience with him.
Verlin is a preacher of positivity, but acknowledges the program's sagging attendance the past 10 years and said he wants the program to have a greater connection with the Stockton community as it moves back into the West Coast Conference next season. He acknowledges being heavily influenced by Thomason, but said there will be noticeable differences in Pacific's playing style.
"Part of my job is getting that arena back filled again," Verlin said. "I want to have a more aggressive and up-tempo style, be more free flowing and have a more read-and-react offense."

I'm glad Sri Lanka are performing well, they should really give all the teams in this group a run for their money.
I'm glad Sri Lanka are performing well, they should really give all the teams in this group a run for their money.
this is a tough group, really difficult to gauge who is going to go through....new zealand would be the weakest side in these conditions to start with...
Big call about NZ being the weakest, our last series against Sri Lanka resulted in a 4-1 win. It's all about what team turns up on the day, with South Africa probably being the most consistent team in this group.

For starters, im not sure if NZ, Pakistan or South Africa will capitulate to a bowler like Maharoof like the Windies did.
Im sure they will and im also sure that Murali will bowl a lot better then he did in the qualifers.Originally Posted by Tim

I would say Pakistan will qualify definitely and the second spot is a mud wrestle between the other three , NZ, SA, SL. If Bond bowls a dream and Vettori and Mills/Oram - and the Kiwi batting clicks , it would be NZ and Pak IMO. SL to beat SA to punish them for running away from SL and causing us pain.
Their form in important tournaments and big competitions is not good and the record speaks for itself , hence the tag of "Chokers" by a well known Mr.S .Waugh .Originally Posted by Perm
I'm sure he will bowl alot better too. New Zealand and South Africa have enough right arm fast medium bowlers playing for them to know how to play them well, not trying to detract from his performance too much but he is hardly likely to rip through sides very often. I hope he does bowl well because he looks a real talent but I think he will be played comfortably enough and won't cause too much trouble.
Last time Muralitharan played against NZ he took 3 wickets at 49 and I'm sure our batsman will be confident when playing him. Also your claim that SL will win this group easily is pretty overconfident and ****-sure, we know that Sri Lanka are a good side but so are New Zealand, South Africa and Pakistan. It won't be as easy as you seem to think it will be.
You Bet !!Originally Posted by nightprowler10
And Even if SL lost to Pakistan and NZ in close matches but beat SA by a whopping big margin I will be the happiest guy on this Universe !
I agree , Murali is not such a big factor as he used to be in ODIs , and most Teams have developed good strategies to deal with him by now .Originally Posted by Perm

New Zealand will beat Australia in a titanic semi final, with South Africa losing to India in the other.
New Zealand will then lose the final simply based on home ground advantage..
Just stating my opinion, don't lynch me for turning against my county of birth!!!!
(P.S I hope I am wrong, and that they dominate until the World Cup Final! I'd like to see two World Cup trophies going to NZ in 2007, not just one.)

Arsonists could be to blame for fires at Calne Aggregates and the Viridor landfill site in Calne.
Firefighters from Calne and Chippenham were called to the first fire at Calne Aggregates, Abberd Lane, at 9.01pm on Wednesday.
They found flames coming from a single bay barn containing two skips full of waste and used two hose reel jets to extinguish the fire.
Several cylinders were found in the building, including a fire extinguisher and a butane cylinder. These were unaffected by the flames, but they were cooled down as a precaution.
While the crews were out at Calne Aggregates, emergency call handlers were alerted to a fire at the Viridor landfill site in Sand Pit Lane at 9.45pm.
Two water pumps from Marlborough and a water carrier from Royal Wootton Bassett were sent to the site where 1,000 tonnes of landfill waste was on fire.
They found plumes of smoke billowing from the site and were there tackling the fire until 5.17am, hours after firefighters left Calne Aggregates at 10.43pm.
A spokesperson for Wiltshire Fire and Rescue Service said: "Both fires are considered suspicious and have been referred to the police.
"With the Viridor fire we did liaise with the Environmental Agency and also Public Health England, because of the smoke, but the fire was extinguished before there was a real issue."

Hi Jen! I felt like you for a very long time and was also low on many vitamins, but what really helped was taking out gluten--it might be worth a try. That can sap your body of the vitamins--literally it was night and day. My body all of a sudden had no more pain and my fatigue lifted in about 2 weeks. Love your beautiful pics too:)

About three hours after asking for more respect from NHL officials, Alex Ovechkin was called for two penalties within seconds of each other, leading to a pair of goals that put the New York Rangers ahead for good Sunday in a 4-1 win over the Washington Capitals.
Brian Boyle and Ryan Callahan took advantage of Ovechkin's miscues to give New York a two-goal lead in the second period. Derek Stepan and Brad Richards also scored, and Martin Biron made 28 saves for the Rangers, who have won five of six.
Steve Oleksy scored his first NHL goal for the Capitals, who endured a rough weekend against teams named New York. Washington lost 5-2 on the road against the Islanders on Saturday, a game in which Mike Ribeiro and Jeff Schultz each took double-minors in a span of less than four minutes in the third period, leading to two Islanders goals.
One of Ribeiro's minors was for unsportsmanlike conduct, and Ovechkin said before Sunday's game that "some refs don't like some personalities on our team" and are too quick to call a penalty when they hear a complaint.
"You have to respect us," Ovechkin said. "We're emotional; we're in the game. When we say something bad to linesmen or bad to referees, we can't give them two minutes when they yell at me."
It's worth noting, however, that the rare double-call against Ovechkin on Sunday had nothing to do with yelling at an official. The two-time league MVP tripped Callahan, and then, with the call delayed while New York was pulling the goalie, Ovechkin dragged down Ryan McDonagh from the side for a holding call.
As play continued, Boyle scored his first goal of the season, beating goaltender Braden Holtby glove-side to make the score 2-1 before Ovechkin's first penalty could be assessed.
Ovechkin then went to the box to serve the second infraction, and he watched the score become 4-1 just 41 seconds later, when Rick Nash's one-timer from the right circle grazed Callahan's right leg on the way to the net.
Capitals coach Adam Oates then pulled Holtby in favor of Michal Neuvirth, who hadn't played since Feb. 7 and had recently been sidelined with an illness.
The Capitals had a chance to make up ground when a pair of calls gave them a 5-on-3 power play for 31 seconds late in the second period, but Biron and the Rangers held firm.
Oleksy gave the Capitals an early 1-0 lead, but Stepan tied it on a move in which he skated past the goal line and banked in his shot off the back of Holtby's right skate.
Richards added an insurance goal with 1:12 remaining in the game.
Notes: The game opened a four-game road trip for the Rangers. ... The Capitals had won four straight at home, outscoring their opponents 19-5. ... Washington D John Erskine sat out after sustaining an upper body injury early in Saturday's game, while C Marcus Johansson returned after missing 12 games with a concussion. ... With Neuvirth recovering from his illness, the Capitals assigned goalie Philipp Grubauer to Hershey of the AHL. ... Veteran D Roman Hamrlik, now playing for the Rangers after being claimed off waivers from Washington last week, was a healthy scratch. "He's not in shape," coach John Tortorella said. "He needs work."

Connection letters for the 320 or so properties to be connected to the now completed Stewarts Creek sewer project are due to go out this week, prompting Barnstable's Board of Health to schedule a Jan. 14 meeting to determine connection schedules and hear from property owners.
Connection letters for the 320 or so properties to be connected to the now completed Stewarts Creek sewer project are due to go out this week, prompting Barnstable's Board of Health to schedule a Jan. 14 meeting to determine connection schedules and hear from property owners.
The Board of Health is responsible for ordering connections to sewer when they become available, and has some discretion on when properties connect.
At the board's Dec. 11 meeting, Chairman Dr. Wayne Miller said that while the board won't vote on a schedule and policy until January, he expects it will include exemptions based on the economics of the property owner, age of the current system and other considerations. Miller also expects that there will be an appeal process to the board regarding connection.
That said, there will be instances where the board would not be able to grant connection waivers or extensions, such as when there are environmental conditions, if a system is in failure or it predates the 1996 Title 5 legislation.
Miller said that between now and the Monday, Jan. 14 meeting, scheduled for 3 p.m. at Barnstable Town Hall, the town's past practices with respect to sewer connection will be reviewed.
As an incentive for property owners to connect, the Department of Public Works will waive the $400 connection fee for the first two years.
The cost of installing the sewer mains and pump stations will be covered 50/50 by the town, and betterments assessed to affected properties. The betterment assessments do not cover the cost to connect to the system, however, which will be borne by property owners.
Miller said that estimates to connect run anywhere from $4,000 to $8,000, but will vary property to property.
Built in two phases, the Stewarts Creek project will connect roughly 320 homes in the Sea Street and Greenwood Avenue areas of Hyannis to town sewer. The construction cost of the project came in lower than expected, at less than $5 million on both phases of the project. Competitive bids brought the work in at substantially less than the $7.2 million originally appropriated by the town council in 2009.
Further reducing the cost to property owners, half of the construction cost will be paid by the town from a set-aside fund created through increases in Barnstable rooms and meals taxes. The remaining 50 percent will be assessed to affected property owners as betterments. An initial "not to exceed" amount of $8,340 was placed as a lien against properties in April 2011.
The final betterments have yet to be recorded, but are anticipated to be in the $7,500 range, according to Finance Director Mark Milne.
The Stewarts Creek project, along with the new pump station on West Main Street, qualified for federal stimulus funding as "shovel ready projects." As a result, Milne said the town received an 11.7 percent loan subsidy on its $9.78 million interest-free loan from the Massachusetts Water Pollution Abatement Trust.Normal 0 0 1 76 420 The Barnstable Patriot 12 1 534 11.1282 0 0 0
Barnstable Growth Management Department administers a loan program that can cover up to the full cost of connection for income-eligible homeowners. This is a zero-interest, deferred-payment loan, payable when the home is sold, refinanced or transferred. [Download brochure here]
In addition, the Barnstable County Septic Loan Program is available for all costs associated with the connections.
For the county program there are no income restrictions, no cap on the loan amount and homeowner applications can be approved within 24 hours.
Sewer connections such as those for Stewarts Creek have been covered by the county program since its inception. A number of loans are in place in Provincetown, which saw significant expansion of its sewer system in recent years.
The county loan program is the only regional one of its type. Formed after the 1996 changes in Title 5 septic regulations, the septic loan program provides low-interest loans, 5 percent by statute, for septic system replacement that are then recouped as betterment assessments through property tax bills for up to 20 years.

2013 is off to a busy start!
As we mentioned in a previous post, our Marine Animal Rescue Program (MARP) is currently caring for seven patients in our Animal Care Center's sea turtle rehab area. All of our patients have come from the New England Aquarium, where there has been a historic influx of cold-stunned turtles.
Their rescue team has been doing an amazing job responding and treating more than 200 turtles in just a few short months. Once some of their patients were deemed healthy enough for travel, they were transported to animal care institutions along the east coast for additional treatment and release.
All seven of our patients (three Kemp's ridleys, three green sea turtles and one loggerhead) are being treated for cold-stunning – a hypothermic reaction that occurs when sea turtles are exposed to cold water for a prolonged period of time.
Unfortunately, as water temperatures drop, it impairs a turtles' ability to swim/dive normally. This puts them at a greater risk of being struck by things in the water, such as boat propellers. That was the case for our loggerhead patient, who also sustained multiple injuries, including one that required amputation of its right front flipper.
We're happy to report that this turtle is healing well on its own and is eating a lot (it is currently enjoying a well-rounded diet of crab, squid, shrimp and fish)!
Due to his steady improvement and recovery, we hope to be able to release this turtle in the coming weeks. We will be tracking him via satellite to collect additional data to support our past research on how turtles with front flipper amputations survive in the wild.
To learn more about MARP and how you can help support our animal rescue efforts, visit aqua.org/MARP.

Your Tenancy Agreement
Your Tenancy Agreement is an important legally binding document that details your rights and responsibilities as a tenant. If you have any queries about the agreement you should call our connect service on 0300 111 1133. You can also view our Tenancy Quick Start Guide for a quick introduction to your tenancy.
We offer three types of tenancies:
- Starter Tenancy - This is the usual tenancy agreement given to new tenants
- Assured Tenancy - This is the usual tenancy agreement given to new tenants who have been with us for over a year
- Assured Shorthold Tenancy - This is the usual tenancy agreement given to tenants living in households that we manage for another landlord
The rights you have under your tenancy agreement depend on the type of agreement you have been given. You will normally need our permission to use these rights. Contact us if you need further advice about this.
Tenancy Right Starter Shorthold Assured Take in lodgers NO NO YES Mutual exchange or transfer NO NO YES Carry out improvements YES NO YES Statutory Right to Repair YES YES YES Partner to succeed tenancy YES YES YES Be consulted on housing managment YES YES YES
We can only end your tenancy by applying for a court order, but we will do so if you:
- Don't pay your rent and fall into rent arrears
- Fail to look after your home
- Provide us with false information
- Are responsible for anti-social behaviour
- Allow criminal acts to take place in your home
- Breach any other condition of your tenancy
1. Can I pass on my tenancy?
Yes, in certain circumstances and with strict legal conditions. If you're an Assured Tenant you can pass on your tenancy in two different ways:
- Succession:
Succession is passing on a tenancy to a family member or another person living in your home upon death. We will do all we can to smooth this process.
- Assignment
Assignment allows you to move out of your home and pass on your tenancy to a partner or family member who has lived at the property for at least 12 months.
2. Can I take in a lodger?
Yes, if you are an Assured Tenant, but you must tell us their name and whether or not they are working or claiming benefits.
Before you take in a lodger, be aware that:
- Your housing and council tax benefits may be affected
- Your lodger will have no security of tenancy
- You are responsible for your lodger's behaviour in your home and liable if they cause a problem
- You cannot take in a lodger if it means your home will become overcrowded
3. Can I make improvements to my home?
Yes, if you are an Assured Tenant, and provided you get written permission from us.
Before you make any improvements, be aware that:
- You must ensure that either you or your contractor is adequately insured against damage to our property, other people's possessions, and personal injury during the course of the work
- We can specify that the work is done in a certain way, or to a certain standard
- We can check that the work will not damage your home or make it unsafe
- We can inspect works in progress and on completion
- Our surveyor will need to inspect some kinds of structural work
- If any work causes damage, we will either insist that you carry out the necessary repairs or charge you for them
- Major improvements, such as the installation of central heating, will not increase your rent
- If you remove any alterations or improvements you must provide a good quality replacement and leave the property in good order, either at or above its original standard
- You should also always check to see if you need planning permission.
- You may be entitled to compensation for improvements made to your home when you leave.
4. Can I swap my home with another tenant?
Yes, you can carry out something called a Mutual Exchange with another housing association tenant.
5. Can I buy my home?
If you are an Assured Tenant you may have the right to buy your home. This scheme offers housing association tenants a fixed discount on the open market value of the property.
Access to this scheme depends on how your home was funded when it was originally built or refurbished. You must live in a property that was built or refurbished with a Social Housing Grant, and where grant confirmation was received on or after 1st April 1997.
6. How do I end my tenancy?
If you have decided to move out, you must tell us in writing, giving us at least four weeks notice. You must also provide a forwarding address where we can contact you.
- Succession:
You have the right to be consulted by us about:
- Changes to the conditions of your tenancy
- Changes in the housing management and repairs service we provide
- New major programmes of work
- Issues that are subject of serious complaints by our tenants
We can consult you in a variety of ways:
- Letter or other written information
- Home visits
- Telephone
- In meetings
- Surveys

At Design Interviews
Interview with Eckhard Beger : Frank Scott: What is the main principle, idea and inspiration behind your design?.

Eckhard Beger : The main focus was to combine the seemingly unstable shape of the rhombohedron with the black ebony marquetry bands which like belts imply stability. .Frank Scott: How long did it take you to design this particular concept?. Eckhard Beger : The project duration was 6 months starting in Mai 2015 .Frank Scott: Why did you design this particular concept? Was this design commissioned or did you decide to pursuit an inspiration?. Eckhard Beger : The design was made following my own inspiration .Frank Scott: What made you design this particular type of work?. Eckhard Beger : I wanted to design a chest of drawers with a geometry that is out of the ordinary but which at the same time has a functional side. .Frank Scott: Who is the target customer for his design?. Eckhard Beger : The target customer is someone looking for a piece of residential furniture which is at the same time an aesthetic object with a high-end finish and a functional piece of furniture. .Frank Scott: How did you come up with the name for this design? What does it mean?. Eckhard Beger : The name Shift, reflects the geometry of the chest of drawers. .Frank Scott: What is the role of technology in this particular design?. Eckhard Beger : A special manufacturing process is required to combine the ebony bands with the flamed maple veneer. .

On Sunday, September 11, the tournament's final day, American flags will serve as pin flags on all 18 greens. Representatives from the four military branches and fire and police personnel in full uniform will serve as pin flag bearers. Hosted by U.S. Representative and military veteran Steve Womack, a brief 9/11 program will be conducted on the 18th green at the conclusion of play.
This year's championship will have its best-ever field, with 47 of the top 50 players in the Rolex Rankings and the top 10 players on the LPGA money list competing in the event. Since the tournament's inception in 2007, the purse has risen from $1.25 million to $2 million, and is now the highest non-major U.S. purse on the LPGA Tour.
World No. 1 Yani Tseng will defend her title. Last year Tseng fired 13 under (67-68-65) to beat Michelle Wie by a shot. Tseng has four wins this season, including two majors.
