The Charlotte Observer celebrates its 125th birthday today with a fine retrospective section.
Here are three posts I'd like to add to the mix, celebrating some key people in the news organization's development in the last 30 years.
Roger the rock, the copy desk chief who shaped standards of accuracy and ethics at the paper for about 20 percent of the paper's life.
Steve Snow, a driving force behind the news organization's early jump to online, with a vision of what community should be.
The Motley Crew of 1980, otherwise known as the Boomers when they were young. Their spirit lives on, and some like my first boss, Greg Ring, have survived in the newsrooms to pass on standards to the next generation.
The people of The Charlotte Observer made it strong. Let's hear a round of applause.

One of St. Petersburg's LGBT organizations (the abbreviation formed from the first letters of the names of sexual and gender minorities – lesbians, gays, bisexuals, transgenders) has lately released a series of social advertising under the slogan "Yes, we are a couple and have common children!" Contrary to the opinion of many people, there are a lot of LGBT families in Russia. But most of them prefer not to publicize their sexual orientation.
The aim of the project is to show people, including homosexuals themselves, that gay families exist and function successfully in our society, that children grow up in love and care, that these families are as happy as the families with heterosexual parents.

Was the NBA Trade Deadline a Big Fail? — Sports Survey of the Day
The big NBA trade deadline expired on Thursday, but there weren't a whole lot of big moves.
All-in-all, there were no significant players traded around the NBA as the deadline came and went. The big-name stars didn't go anywhere, but a few players with smaller roles are waking up on Friday wearing different uniforms.
There were various rumors circulating around about Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce, Dwight Howard (oh God, not again) and Josh Smith, but after all was said an done nothing really happened. With no major players moving, it seems fair to call the whole thing a big letdown.

Ever heard of a nefarious, amorphous gelatinous mass with a seemingly insatiable appetite, ingesting and digesting anything and everything it comes in contact with? It's The Blob, right?! Well, as close as you can get and still operate within real-life parameters…the real blob of which I speak is most commonly known as a slime mold!
|photo credit: Keresh
Now, its name is slightly misleading as it is actually not a mold at all. True slime molds form a plasmodium, a big blob with one membrane and lots and lots (think millions) of diploid nuclei – it is really like one huge cell the size of a medium pizza, a pizza whose many nuclei all divide at the same time. No need to run in terror though, this blob's top speed is around one millimeter per hour.
What is most interesting about these true plasmodial slime molds is that they USED to be lumped in with all of the molds and fungus in Kingdom Fungi. But, because of their unique characteristics – such as the fact that they have a motile stage of life – they are now more commonly associated with Kingdom Protista! Other members of this kingdom are giant sea kelp and amoeba, just to name a few. This kingdom is a sort of island of misfit toys; most organisms belonging here do so because they do not qualify as animals, plants, or fungi and are not bacteria.
|Physarum polycephalum
The most common image evoked when 'slime mold' is mentioned is that of Physarum polycephalum, a large yellow amoeboid mass on mulch or leaf litter, oozing along looking for bacteria to ingest. Slime molds do, however, come in a variety of sizes and colors. Some slime molds found in the tropics are even bioluminescent! Who wouldn't want some glow-in-the-dark ooze? I know I do.
But, kids, the fun must end sometime. As our blobby buddy matures, it turns into a grey, dust like material and grows spore bearing structures; many look like little balls or popsicles on the end of thin stalks and can vary in color – they even come in pink! When the spores are eventually released, they settle in new locations, starting the whole process of ooze and growth all over again. Isn't life amazing?
I'll end with one of my favorite fungus funny bone ticklers: A mushroom, a skunk, and a slime mold walked into a bar. The bartender happily served the skunk and the slime mold, but told the mushroom, "We don't serve your kind here." The mushroom indignantly replied, "Why not? I'm a fun-gi!"

This is what keeps going through my head....day two.
12 comments:
What keeps going through my mind is a comment from a resident lefty at Rachel's. She obviously imagines she's a good, caring person. But her comment demonstrates that she isn't, she doesn't even really understand the concepts. For some reason I find that comment much more disturbing than I would gloating.ReplyDeleteReplies
Okay...so WHAT WAS IT??? I haven't been over there as much and the comment threads are CRAZY...can't make it through the hundreds of comments.Delete
Can you tell me???
This comment.Delete
She's an infrequent commenter and nobody replied to her so I'm hoping she'll just go away. The way I read that is basically:
"Look at me! I'm a wonderful caring person, when I see wounded people I don't twist the knife. Aren't I special?. But hey, enough about you, let's talk about how unhappy I am that I didn't get absolutely everything I wanted."
The mention of conservatives going Galt at the end is such a non sequiter that she probably just doesn't know what it means, but it makes me think of the Kulaks.
Oh yes, I have seen her before. I think her reference to "going Galt" or not was because Rachel said she wasn't going Galt.Delete
Okay, but the way she used it in that sentence still doesn't make sense to me. Just seems like a juxtaposition of two completely unrelated concepts.Delete
I think I'm starting to feel better. You doing okay?
You doing okay?Delete
I am despondent. I truly believe that we have lost America as the country in which we were born, and will never see it again.
As Reagan famously said, "Freedom is only ever one generation away." We were that generation. We failed.
This is one of those times I wish I was better with words. All I can tell you is that if you yield to despair it's going to be a bleaker world for the people who know you too. Focus on family, friends, horses, cooking, whatever makes you happy and you have some control over for a while.Delete
Yes. I believe that you are right. And I will eventually do that.Delete
But not now. Not yet.
I am still in mourning.

Ah, yes, I know of whom you speak. Knew from day one she is just another useful idiot for the left - like most progressives she has absolutely no idea just how evil progressivism is. It is after all just another word for communism just the same as 'liberal'.Replies
Yes, I truly believe that most have no idea what they are actually endorsing. They would be SHOCKED if you tried to point it out. And of course, they would see that as proof that conservatives are idiots who overreact and don't understand anything that challenges their old-fashioned and backwards beliefs.Delete
You just can't win.
I've always liked the music of the Soviet Anthem...very dramatic. Maybe under the new Union of Socialist States of America we'll get more dramatic, inspiring music while we're celebrating our collectivist gains. Then again, maybe we're just screwed.ReplyDelete

(REAL TIMES MEDIA)—Some jobs require a bit more on the resume than just having good references, experience and a knack for the position you're applying for. A certain amount of ideological responsibility is needed for you to serve in some positions, for example, members of the FBI can't get actively involved in politics. Why? Because their job is to be loyal to the government and the constitution, as private citizens they can vote for who they want but as representatives of the government they have to tow a different line than the rest of us. This may not sound fun or fair, but it's the truth, and it's one of the reasons why Van Jones needed to resign from the Obama administration. He had every right to express his beliefs as a private citizen, but as a member of the government some of his beliefs were just not acceptable.
Van Jones' abrupt resignation Sept. 5, came after he became the target of Fox News comedian Glenn Beck. On the surface Beck was doing a public service. He had begun identifying the "czars" of the Obama administration; men and women in positions of power that he saw as having unfettered power and control over American life that needed to be kept in check. Van Jones, an Obama administration advisor on Green Jobs was first on his list, and Beck proceeded to tear down just about anything Jones had done in his stellar career. A mere month prior to his resignation Jones had called the GOP in Congress a-holes, he'd worked with a noted Marxist group in the 1990s and was pretty far to the left on most issues. But the biggest problem that Beck and many other conservatives had was that Van Jones had signed the 9/11 truther's petition calling for increased investigations into whether or not the Bush administration was responsible for the attacks on 9/11. When this news hit the mainstream press, Jones bid a hasty farewell and resigned from his position over the weekend.
Glenn Beck did the right thing in outing Jones' beliefs, but not because he was really concerned about the future of this country as he consistently stated. Beck went after Jones because the organization that Jones founded "Color of Change" had gone after Glenn Beck. After Beck called President Obama a racist "who hated White people" last month Color of Change organized a boycott that cost the Fox program over 33 sponsors including big names like Verizon, Nutrisystem and Lowes. So essentially Beck lost money and went after the head of the serpent, and Jones quit his job. The score seems to be tied one-one.
Regardless of his questionable reasons, Glenn Beck had every right to investigate Van Jones' background as a member of the U.S. government that we all pay for. While it is perfectly okay for private citizens to question whether or not the government would be responsible for killing thousands in the name of starting a Mideast war that couldn't be justified otherwise, it's not okay for government employees to "publicly" express those views. Would it make sense if McDonald's executive board employed someone who believed that meat was murder? Of course not, nor does it make sense for the federal government to employ someone who publicly believes that our nation is run by a bunch of assassins. If Van Jones was a member of Congress this would be okay, his beliefs would represent those in his district but as a direct government employee it's a borderline national security risk to have someone like that working in the White House.
It's important to remember in all of this that Van Jones is an incredibly talented and qualified individual. He's written best selling books, has more awards than you can shake a stick at, and the nation is better off for having advocates like him, just not in government. And regardless of what the right-wing press tries to say, he is not an extremist by any stretch of the imagination. As recently as 2006, Pew Center polls showed that over 36 percent of Americans believe the U.S. government had something to do with 9/11, compared to 11 percent of Americans who don't think President Obama was born in the United States today. So the issue isn't whether Van Jones has a right to his beliefs, (he does), or if his beliefs are out of the mainstream, (they aren't), but they are beyond the pale for serving this country at the highest level, and that's something that even Glenn Beck and I can agree on.

On the Street….Gloves in the Chest Pocket Have Jumped the Pond, NYC
CommentsClose comment
124 comments
Well, both gentlemen look amazing…but the second one (can he be American? seems so implausible based on his style) I want to marry. Sorry, husband!
Looks like a Filson bag. Excellent!
Hadn't known that this was a euro thing!
I love the second outfit. Rich colors made even better with the loved-in bag and shoes.
It is a nice touch, and you can be sure you are not going to drop a glove when you are reaching in for coffee change, your keys or your entry card, right? I love the Filson briefcase, I am going to get one of their bags as my next gym duffle!!! Jorge from W Palm Beach
I like it and I haven't seen it done around here- I could be the first! Nice colors in both, and the lower look I could almost lift in toto for myself.I like the polished casualness of it.Great looking pieces individually and well chosen together.
Both of those shots are amazing. i absolutely love the shoes on the second picture.
Agreed : second guy looks very Italian to my French eyes…
I've been doing this since before it was "cool", and i'm only 28.
The second man's details are flawless. I love how his spectacles are placed in his shirt in the front.
Why is it the simple ideas often prove the most impressive? Now I have an excuse to go out and buy a new pair of gloves!
Nice sartorial flourish, shows wit and charm. I like the picture of the gentleman in the camel coat,what a lovely smile – i'm guessing he doesn't work in finance.
ahahah these gloves want to runaway from the pocket!!
the second man looks like marc jacobs!!
The second guy has to be European, right?
definitely a case of form over function here. gloves are for hands, not pockets. surely a nice idea if it warms up, though.
this is one of those things that are so simple and smart that it makes everyone ask, why didn't i think of that before?
He is American – that's Gabriel – who sells Thom Browne' Black Fleece line at Brooks Brothers.
This is what I like about the Sartorialist. Fashion can be just practical! Putting gloves in your breast pocket undermines the silly, outdated pretension of a handkerchief.
lino ieluzzi at it again. damn i want his wardrobe.
The second guy looks great. I really like the colors he is wearing. And the gloves in the chest pocket add a very nice touch to the overall look of both gentlemen.
Super photos, Sart. Well done. It's all about the details.
the second man knows his colors, textures and how to layer perfectly.
I love everything about these photographs. Everything.
I particularly love the color story of the second guy – and the serenely confident way he's standing before your camera. He's an intriguing subject.
I'm also curious about how he would look in those glasses…
The first gentleman looks classic but is very edgy if you look closely ! The gloves used as a "pochette" in his upper pocket are fab and I've noticed a great scarf under his jacket ; it looks like a 'changeant' kind of fabric changing from lila into a fuchsia-purple…10+
The second guy has thé cutest face and has a smart and effortless chique look.
Nothing too special but I really like the shades of colour he has used..
If he's European like 'Iheartfashion' suggests, I sincerely hope he lives in Antwerp :-D
I just love both of these! Maybe my obsessive compulsiveness is showing, but I have a strong need to see every stitch they're wearing laid out. Don't you hate when there's just a hint of interesting fabric peeking out and you can't figure out if it's a sweater or a scarf or a what?
I love the personal touches that the first man is wearing. The outfit is not only interesting, but it also looks both warm and lightweight, which isn't always easy to put together.
The second man has just a nice look overall. PERHAPS a little too thought-out, but effort never goes unnoticed. I'd personally feel stifled in so many layers, but I do love the length of his pants and those shoes. And the gloves look so toasty and warm!
Please, spare us from the Filson bags, unless you're on a hunting trip. Filson bags in the city are just an early 21st century version of a yuppie "outdoorsy" pretention.
Though, I will admit, I'd love to invest a bunch of money in Filson just so I could get them to start making some of their clothing in black, with full linings.
Paul Stuart has been featuring this gesture in its windows for at least twenty years.
There is actually an American flag behind the second guy. Definitely not European.
The first gentleman is putting a nice touch to a jacket he wore in December 2007 (check out the Sartorialist archive and there he is in same jacket) This is how you keep things fresh.
The second gentleman: bravo! From the gloves, scarf, eyeglasses and handbag, he really can accessorize while maintaining a masculine look. Very good.
really cute!
second guy is a handsome devil. clothes or no clothes.:)
Excellent Style!!!
I think I'm in love.
I completely fell in love with the 2nd gentleman. This face, those (hidden) accesories!
The second one looks like Jude Law.
Two regular guys.
Nice pictures.
The second guy is great. The colour scheme seems perfect to my eyes as well as the length of the trousers, and the cardigan is adorable.
me like #2.
BFF! Ben a while, hasn't it. Impeccable styling as always: that purple scarf peaking underneath the coat is sublime. Second dude is lovely too-got it right on the pants length and the shoes. A little too studied perhaps, but hey, it works.
Urban mob.
Fine and dandy…I am in love with the guy in the second picture =)
The coat in the first picture is just great!
But the bag of the second picture is what I want!
BFM!!! I know we're not supposed to call him that, but he's one of my top 3 faves, ever, among Sartorialist subjects. Lavender scarf, classic camel coat — he looks super, as always. The guy in pic 2 looks good too, but sorry, my heart belongs to BFM!
The man in the second photo looks so confident in his style. Love the maroon cardigan–he looks so handsome.
hey these guys are well dressed grown ups! how'd they get in here?
Both men look very stylish, elegant and confident. I wish I knew them both, they both have kind eyes.
I appreciate the fact that you chose two men with different styles, but equally fashionable.
I adore a man or a woman who can accessorize with flair.
The warmth of the honey colored herringbone caught in the sun is sooooo lovely. And the stitch detail of the breast pocket with the glove fingers of the same-but-not-the-same color sticking out? Pinch me! It would all be intoxicating without that purple tie – but he DID wear the purple tie, and I love him for it.
And I love him for carrying the newspaper under his arm, too.
I second the earlier comment about the oxymoronic nature of urban Filson. I suppose a certain segment of the market, if they could, would pay an extra charge for the dog hair, feathers and blood that are on my husband's Filson jacket, along with the shotgun shells, chew can, dog cookies and old PB&J that are usually in the pockets. Maybe I should offer to break-in these garments for people who don't have ready access to the "elements of authenticity" mentioned above. For a nominal fee I'd be happy to toss a person's Filson jacket – or bag in the back of the truck for a month during pheasant season. The PB&J would definitely be an additional charge…
1st: very nice use of complimentary colors and I love how you captured the movement of him walking with the flap of his coat like that. awesome!
2nd: An overall nice color palette! Also your composition is impeccable, even though he is standing right in the middle of your photo, it doesn't look boringly symmetrical.
I put your blog under 'Daily Needs' rather than 'daily reads' because honestly, it's so nice to wake up and check your blog for some inspiration and beautiful photography. I am a regular visitor on your blog and I hope to comment on every single post!!
second guy does not look american
the second picture kind of looks like a cross between albert hammond jr. and my piano instructor.
He is American. He works as a salesman for Brooks Brothers! See him there!
Wow. The young bearded dude looks like a perfectly wrapped holiday package. Every detail—glasses, scarf, tie, gloves, bad, beard—is beautifully (and calculatedly?) rendered. The contrasts of color and texture are really dynamic. Two thumbs up for this handsome man. Just the antidote the eye needs on a chill day.
Yeah, that second picture is so classy. Great find.
Whoa! The man in the second picture really has such an amazing look going. I love how perfectly he layered his clothes, very chic!
I like the coat in the first picture, and the gloves are well done. Yep, the bag is Filson – I own its bigger brother and it's the best bag of its kind, truly. It's not too faux-faux hunting, as Gemma Catherine opined, but it's tough and well-made to brave crowds, subways, rain, and other hazards. Just does its job well with a bit of rugged flare. And not everyone has one.
Nice shots, Sart!
2nd man…guy in 2nd photo…Gabriel…whatever…European or American, he looks hot.
Love the second gentleman's ensemble. He looks great.
I think they both look great in a very different, yet paralell, kind of way and style…
Defenetly a nice look… But The thing about the gloves in the pocket I think I saw it before… Years ago.
I love the purple scarf from the first picture, it creates a soft harmony with the colour of the coat.
And I must say that I'm absolutely in love with the second guy, from head to toe ! The pair of glasses is genius.
ai ai the second gentleman is rockin it. Loving the outfit.
Photo #2 is dreamy. What an attractive man!!!! Thanks for the eye candy.
I love all the little details in the second fellow's mid-section. The waistcoat, the glasses, the tie, the scarf. They all go together so smashingly, I need to flesh out my man-accessories repertoire.
Love this idea…so creative without trying to hard. Must show my man…and I adore your washcloth in the pj pocket. Too clever and such humour!
I've been attempting to put things in my breast pocket of my suit jackets for years – mainly small furry toys!
Accessories gone wild! Are those glasses in the second photo for anything but effect? They ought to be worn properly.
Scott,they got the Idea from your posts last winter!
I like the way both look with their different styles but I mostly stopped by today to congratulate you on the praise your blog has in today's(Sunday) NY Times magazine.
Gabriel looks absolutely delicious! Fashionably and physically!
I love this look. The first gentleman has a great color combination going on, and the second is just lovely. He is dressed like my ideal man. I must ask, were the specs your idea?
Love the Filson bag.
Handkerchief gloves.
So gentleman. I love it.
La Abuela.
God, that's so great!!!!!!!! love it
Now why would I want to put my gloves inin my breast pocket, instead of putting them on, if I do not wear them while walking on the street, when then?
Great pictures, both great in their own style.
I'd like to ask: beeing a woman I often don't know what to do with my gloves when I'm not wearing them. Keep them in the bag would be the easier thing, but could/should a woman stick them in a pocket like man do? Which impression does that give? I often end up carring them both in one hand or when I have those elbow high ones, I sometimes put them around my neck. Anymore ideas/comments on women and gloves? Thanks!
The second one doesn't strike me as a specially well composed outfit. It like the window of a Gap shop! All items individually are ok but put together seem to turn into something very lifeless. I think the jacket and the scarf were the wrong choice!
1st guy's lavender scarf is really nice, but i love 2nd guy's burgundy cardigan. i say he looks quintessentially american prep, and could easily slip into a wes anderson movie as a snappy librarian or an archeology professor. great shots!
About the second gentleman:
"Che gran figo", as we said in Italy
congratulations, Scott, on the kudos you received in today's NYT Magazine — your blog has been such a bright spot for many of us. you deserve the great write-up.
i wonder if it looks good on women. i do like the look of gloves sticking out of side slant pockets, although mine usually falls out of my coat. NYC looks suspiciously snow-free. chicago is knee deep in slush.
Oh yes the second boy is so delicious.
But why is everyone making a big deal about the gloves- don't you ever take your gloves off bc it warmed up or you need to use your fingers? So petty.
The picture is the best!!!!!
The guy in the second photo is very smart. I lke the casualness of his outfit.
Actually, at thirties I wish I were dress like him…fashion would be different buy… It would be nice if I ve got this knack of mixing textures, colours, oldies looking things with modern…
Let's wait and see.
Nice idea : putting the gloves ion the chest pocket: not that very elegant but useful… It avoids losing gloves… I am used to lose mines most every winter.
La Brigade de la Mode
i LOVE the enlarged images!!
handsome or what :)
Personally I'm more impressed with the first gentleman's style. Something more original and fresh about it…
LOVE LOVE LOVE the colors on Mr. second man.
At this point in age, I would not say one thing is 100% local, specially when is related to very similar conditions after all a pocket is a pocket.
I'm loving the bigger images!
Hope you get to post as often as you did back in the good days. ! a day is better than 30 in 1 day.
The Second Man is so handsome. Seems to have repose of the soul.
I noticed the pictures are bigger on your page! I like it better like that now :)
I love the look. I need to go buy some good gloves. The bottom pic is great. I like his style. I'm copying him tomorrow. ;)
I just love the glove touch to the outfit! Its not just stylish, but its real! Gloves isn't just used for comfort, but also as a fashion statement.
Loved how the second guy put his outfit together..brilliant!
wow now that is one detail to absolutely fall in love with!!! definately LOVE the gloves in the chest pocket!!
Both guys looks great! especially #2
on a side note. New layout with the big pictures are great!!!
love those last outfit!
What's next…? Bananas coming out of your trousers rear pocket?
can anyone tell me which model that filson is? i have the tote with zipper and need an intant trade in on whatever one this man's got
Very oxford
Those yellow gloves, possibly in some very obscure but fabulously buttery leather, are wonderful.
I very much appreciate this styling. He is pulling off "a lot of look" without being overly saturated. It is timeless and will look just as stylish twenty years from now as it does today.
the second guy looks the best! but that might be my biased opinion..since he is my cousin. :)
would definitely marry the second guy.
The men I style are always looking for unique ideas..love this one, going to pass it on..glad it finally jumped the pond!
fine and dandy at its finest!
filson 257 and I believe the 2nd guy is also wearing a filson jkt in otter green.
The first gentilhomme is Reza Raein, no?
Sorry, but brown shoes with black trousers are a no no. Mummy should have taught him better.
Everything pictured on the second man is just absolutely perfect. His entire ensemble paired with those small but very carefully chosen accessories makes me love this look even more.
I love the burgundy cardigan he's sporting and I do have one myself but the cut is lower. I'd love to know where his cardigan is from.
By the way, can anyone confirm if that's the Filson 256 briefcase or 257 he's carrying? I absolutely love it!
dammit, i want this guy for christmas!! please, santa, please?
he's smokin…hot!
really nice !!! Just perfect…
i want to date him.
it's funny that everyone seems to think that the second guy is European – when i first saw the picture i immediately had the impression of the new modern young American. maybe it was the slightly muted and dusky red and blue, or the reference to mid-century professors and scholars, but the whole ensemble just evokes a sense of both utility and casual class which perfectly describe my idea of the new young American professional.
i do agree that this American aesthetic does incorporate the sum of our various stylistic heritages (Italian, French, British), but all the while it maintains that "made in the USA" confidence.
so, while i am getting the European vibes, i see this look more like "if Andrew Wyeth made a trip to the big city for the weekend."
i'm in love with the second guy
i really have to go to NY
just 4400miles, who cares
Both are charming but second guy's whole ensemble I am in love with.
G: you look fantastic
He´s american urbanchic, PERFECT!!!
Love the look on both guys. Tres chic! Second guy mmmmmmm…….. a guy who knows how to dress is muy fuego
very complimentary! he looks so modern…

Searching For Gems In the Golden League
This season, the average attendance at a Golden Baseball League game is 2,147. Pretty soon, they'll have that many scouts packing the stands.
The independent Golden League is where Boston discovered Daniel Nava when he played for the Chico Outlaws. In his first 9 major league games, Nava is batting .355/.412/.613 with 5 2B, 1 HR, and 7 RBI.
A year after they signed Nava, the Red Sox unearthed Robert Coello in the GBL after he had pitched for the Calgary Vipers and Edmonton Cracker Cats (now known as the Capitals).

On Tuesday night, Coello made his first Triple-A start and dominated the Scranton/WB Yankees, striking out 10 batters in 5.2 IP in Pawtucket's 3-1 win.
"He's got a downhill fastball, he's aggressive in the strike zone with it, and quality secondary stuff is always going to be the recipe for a solid outing," PawSox manager Torey Lovullo said. "He was attacking the hitters all night long and it was great for us to watch. We were a little thin, and for him to pitch into the 6th inning was just a great effort and we're really pleased."
Coello has been nothing short of dazzling since being promoted from Double-A Portland on June 12th. In his first three outings for Pawtucket, the 25-year-old righty is 1-0 with a 0.73 ERA and has 19 strikeouts in 12.1 IP while only giving up 5 hits.
Tuesday's outing marked the second time this month that Coello has registered double-digit strikeouts in less than 6 IP. On June 2nd, he whiffed 11 batters in 5.2 IP in a start for the Portland Sea Dogs. For the season, he has 70 strikeouts in 55.2 IP between Double-A and Triple-A.
"He's got a big league arm," Lovullo said. "In his last relief outing for us, I turned to (pitching coach) Rich Sauveur in the middle of an inning and said, 'We're looking at big league pitches. This is what a big league fastball looks like.' He has the highest percentage of swings and misses of anyone in the system this season."
What makes Coello's story so remarkable is that he's only been pitching for 3 � years. Robert was drafted by the Cincinnati Reds as a catcher in 2004, but never caught in a professional game due to injury.
The Angels gave him a shot as a pitcher, but released Coello even thought he posted a 1.37 ERA in his only season in their organization. That led to Robert's stint in the independent GBL where Boston purchased his rights in November of 2008.
"It's pretty impressive that we have scouts watching this type of baseball – semi-pro type baseball – hunting and searching for guys like this," Lovullo said. "It's another great story."
This week, the Red Sox grabbed another player from the GBL as they signed pitcher Jay Broughton from the Calgary Vipers and assigned him to the Lowell Spinners.
Is it possible that they discovered another hidden gem?
I guess that's why it's called the Golden Baseball League.
* * * * *
With Josh Reddick promoted to Boston for the third time this season and Ryan Kalish still on the disabled list with a hip flexor strain, the PawSox were hurting for outfielders on Tuesday.
Enter 22-year-old Alex Hassan from Single-A Salem.
The Boston-area native joined Pawtucket and made his Triple-A debut as a defensive replacement in the 9th inning and immediately caught two fly balls.
He did so without any of his own equipment.
The Carolina League is on its 3-day All-Star break, and Hassan elected to spend the time with friends in Richmond, VA. As a result, when he got the call to join the PawSox in Scranton, he arrived with a small duffle bag of clothes but didn't have any of his baseball gear.
"I took a piece of equipment from just about every guy on the team," Hassan told me after the game. "I think my glove belonged to the clubbie, but I'm not really sure. I wore Ryan Kalish's shoes."
Hassan is only in his 2nd professional season after being drafted in the 20th round out of Duke University last year. The Milton, MA resident was batting .228 with a .352 OBP in 47 games with Salem.
"I know I'm here just to help out the team because they're a little short right now," Hassan said. "Hopefully I can play good defense and help out the team for as long as they need me. My family is pretty excited. Hopefully they'll be able to come to at least one game while I'm still on the team."
Hassan says he attended games at McCoy Stadium on summer camp field trips when he was a kid, so it would be exciting to still be with the PawSox when they return home next Tuesday.
By then, he'll definitely have his own glove.
* * * * *
The PawSox continue their series at Scranton/WB on Wednesday night at 7:05. I hope you'll join us for radio coverage beginning with the pre-game show at 6:50 on the PawSox radio network and pawsox.com.

The Earth has finite resources and they're not evenly distributed. As we use up the easy-to-access sources of ores and fossil fuels, some of the key foundations of modern society risk becoming rare and prohibitively expensive. Until we actually perfect fusion and asteroid mining, these are realities driving our push to develop sustainable practices.
At the meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, researchers talked about the progress they're making when attempting to put industrial chemistry on a sustainable path. The overall belief of the panel is that it's not simply enough to make any one part of the process sustainable. Using a cheap and easily available catalyst to drive reactions that require fossil fuels will only buy us so much. It's only when we make every step of the process sustainable—including what happens to the chemicals when we're done with them—that we can really make progress.
The session's organizer, UCSB's Susannah Scott, set out the scale of the problem. Industrial chemistry needs account for something like a quarter of US energy use. The metals Ru, Te, Pd, Rh, Au, Pt, Re, Os, and Ir are all fantastic catalysts, but they are the least common elements in the crust relative to silicon. Princeton's Paul Chirik added a few more details: the current US lifestyle requires something like 80 different elements (GE, for example, uses 72 of the first 82 in the periodic chart). Right now, 19 of them come exclusively from different countries.
While supply is a challenge, disposal is a problem as well. Stephen Miller from the University of Florida said that, globally, we produce more than 200 billion kilograms of plastics each year. Very little of that gets recycled or will degrade naturally and this leaves us with a major disposal problem. The primary source of the raw materials used in these plastics is fossil fuels, and those are subject to the same sorts of price chaos that other energy uses have faced.
Sustainable carbon
So, how do we get around these challenges? Miller is working on making plastics sustainable on both the source and disposal sides of the equation. He said that, right now, the Earth's biomass incorporates carbon equal to 1,000 times the world's polymer production each year, but only five percent of the US' chemical production is currently using sustainable feed. The use of renewable carbon sources is expected to rise to 25 percent by 2030, and Miller's work may help get us there.
Right now, the big success story of bioplastics is poly-lactic acid, or PLA. It can easily be made from corn, has the right properties to be used in plastic shopping bags, and is, at least in theory, biodegradable. Unfortunately, to get it to degrade, you have to heat it and subject it to mechanical shredding. To get around this, Miller's group has introduced a second sustainable chemical to the polymerization, one that forms an acetal linkage (An O-C-O bond) to the polymer. Acetal bonds are present in cellulose, and Miller reasoned they should make the resulting polymer easier to break down. He found that it loses about two percent of its mass within 45 days, and it should be fully broken down within six years. This would clearly cut down on the waste problem.
His group is also taking advantage of a company that's figured out how to convert the lignin from plant matter (a complex polymer that helps provide strength to cellulose) into vanillin. The latter can be used as a building block for polymers that contain a branch with a benzene-like ring structure. That makes it similar to an existing polymer, PET, which is found in water bottles. After some tweaking of the chemistry involved, Miller's team has created something that has a higher glass transition temperature than PET, which would allow it to hold hot liquids. They're hoping to raise it even further to provide a material that could act as a replacement for polystyrene.
Cheap catalysts
Most of these reactions, whether sustainable or not, require catalysts that push the reaction forward, allowing them to proceed under milder conditions or ensuring that they produce the desired product. And, right now, catalysts typically mean rare earth metals, like the ones Scott listed in the introduction. Chirik's working on getting rid of them.
The advantage of these catalysts, he said, is two electrons that they can donate to the reactants, which are key for the interesting organic chemistry. The downside? Metals like platinum cost more than $10,000 per mole, and some inevitably gets lost in each reaction. But living systems catalyze interesting reactions using metals like iron, which only has one electron to donate—but only costs about $4 a mole. The trick, Chirik said, is that organisms complex the metals in an organic molecule that donates a second electron to iron (typically from a nitrogen atom), making it behave like it's a more expensive metal.
Shifting to iron-based catalysts (or those made with other cheap and abundant metals) has the potential to make industrial processes far more sustainable.
Chirik gave some specific examples of the reactions he'd like to fix. One of them involves breaking a carbon-carbon double bond to form a link to silicon, a reaction catalyzed by platinum. Each year, $350 million worth of platinum gets lost in the resulting polymer, which is used for things like the no-stick surface that you peel stamps and adhesive labels off. Chirik estimates that 30 to 40 percent of the cost of these labels comes from the platinum left behind in the backing. But his group has developed an iron-organic catalyst that is more active than platinum and doesn't produce unwanted side-products; it can also catalyze a wider range of reactions than platinum.
There was a similar story with low-rolling-resistance tires, where the existing platinum catalyst creates the right reaction product only 40 percent of the time. The iron-organic replacement gives a 95 percent yield, and it pushes the reaction forward without the need for any heat or the controlled addition of reactants. The work isn't limited to iron, either; Chirik's group is working with a drug company to develop a cobalt catalyst that produces a specific form of a chemotherapy drug.
The volumes needed and diversity of reactions used in industrial chemistry mean that this work is a good step towards sustainability, but it is only a start towards putting the field as a whole on a sustainable footing. And the chemical industries are inherently a bit conservative, as their end users have specific requirements for things like material properties and purity. Any new reactions will have to be validated and scaled up slowly. Still, the session made it clear that the barriers to sustainability don't lie in the chemistry itself, simply in finding the right chemistry to make the whole pathway—from source through catalyst to waste—green.

Suns outgunned by Warriors
OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — When Steve Blake checked in at the scorer's table with 5:25 remaining in the third quarter, Stephen Curry shook his head and shouted across the court, asking Golden State Warriors coach Mark Jackson not to take him out.
Jackson, a self-described "feel coach," changed his plan. He had Blake enter instead for Andre Iguodala, who looked over at Curry and laughed on the way to the bench.
Curry keyed the deciding run later in the third quarter. He finished with 18 points and nine assists on a strained right quad, helping the Warriors hold off the Phoenix Suns 113-107 on Sunday night for their fourth straight win.
"I always tell coach I'm fine," Curry said. "He always asks me if something's going on, whether it was my ankle back in the day or something small like this. I'm surprised he still asked me because he already knows the answer."
David Lee added 26 points and nine rebounds and Klay Thompson scored 22 points for the Warriors, who built an 18-point lead early in the fourth quarter before the Suns surged back.
Golden State is 9-2 since the All-Star break and a season-high 16 games over .500. The Warriors are two games ahead of Dallas for sixth place in the crowded Western Conference standings.
The Mavericks visit the Warriors on Tuesday night.
"The guys had a sense of urgency," Jackson said. "They understood how big this game was. They realized we had an opportunity to really take control."
Gerald Green had 25 points and six rebounds, and Goran Dragic added 24 points and six assists for the Suns, who dropped into a tie with the Grizzlies for eighth in the West.
The Suns also missed a chance to take the four-game season series over the Warriors — and the potential head-to-head tiebreaker for playoff seeding that comes with it. Each team won both meetings on its home floor.
"That's just the whole point about learning how to be a playoff team," Green said. "Certain things you can get away with on certain nights, but when you're playing a team like this — a team that's been in the playoffs — you have to be solid for 48 minutes."
Neither team showed much playoff poise in the final minute.
Green's layup cut Golden State's lead to 111-107 with 38.1 seconds remaining. After Thompson missed a 3-pointer, Andre Iguodala came down with a rebound and the Suns were forced to foul.
Warriors 113, Suns 107
Phoenix caught a break when Iguodala missed both free throws, but Green then stepped out of bounds receiving a pass from Dragic on the sideline.
Steve Blake missed two free throws to give the Suns yet another chance. Phoenix followed that up with Marcus Morris air-balling a 3-pointer, and Iguodala made two free throws to seal Golden State's victory.
The Warriors outshot the Suns 52.9 percent to 48 percent. Phoenix outrebounded Golden State 41 to 35 but committed 20 turnovers while the Warriors only had 12.
"I thought in that third quarter we really got outhustled," Suns coach Jeff Hornacek said. "They were active. They were aggressive for the ball. They wanted it more than we did."
With a nagging quad limiting his playing time, Curry shook off the pain and made sure Jackson kept him on the court longer than expected. Curry made a 3-pointer and handed out six assists during a 23-4 run in the third quarter, and the Warriors went ahead 96-78 early in the fourth.
Curry shot 7 for 16 from the floor in 30 minutes.
"He really took over," Jackson said.
Before the game, Curry said that he injured his quad during Golden State's win at Boston on Wednesday and began to feel pain again during Friday's victory over Atlanta. Both Jackson and Curry said they will communicate with each other during games to determine when — and how much — the All-Star point guard plays.
While he looked a step slow in the first half defending Dragic, Curry came through when his team needed him most.
After the Suns went ahead by 12 in the second quarter, Curry converted a reverse layup while getting fouled by Morris to start a three-point play that brought the Warriors within one. But back-to-back 3-pointers by Dragic helped Phoenix carry a 61-56 lead into intermission.
The Warriors disrupted the Suns' offense in the third quarter by trapping Dragic at half court. The swarming defense led to several fast-break opportunities, and Curry controlled the offense with near perfection to put the Warriors ahead for good.
NOTES: Suns coach Jeff Hornacek said Eric Bledsoe, who has been out since Dec. 30 recovering from knee surgery, will likely return for Wednesday's home game against the Cavaliers. Hornacek said there's a chance Bledsoe could play Monday night at the Clippers. … Phoenix center Miles Plumlee had two points and four rebounds in 11 minutes after missing the two previous games because of a sprained shoulder.

At Home with LEED: Our Platinum ProjectMarch 12th, 2012 | Posted by in Green Building - (0 Comments)
As the leading retailer of green building products in the nation, Green Depot has long been at the forefront of supplying materials for certified green projects. The product experts at each of our locations have assisted with countless certifications – residential and commercial. So, we were pleased to get to apply our knowledge to our own flagship store in New York City. When we were done with our renovations in 2010, our Bowery store became the first to achieve a LEED Platinum Certified Retail Space in all of New York State .
The LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) designation is an "internationally recognized green building certification system," organized and developed by the U.S. Green Building Council. All buildings which apply for LEED certification are judged on a set of prerequisites and credits – prerequisites being mandatory for all projects, and credits accumulating to raise a building's certification from Certified, up through Silver, Gold, and Platinum. Credits are judged on criteria as diverse as the siting of the building, water efficiency, energy consumption, materials and resources, and indoor environmental quality.
Our New York City store, located at 222 Bowery is a beautiful, unique space and carries nearly all of our green building supplies and green lifestyle products. We're located in the building that once held NYC's first YMCA and was home to a string of artists and musicians – including Mark Rothko – so we worked closely with the New York Landmarks Preservation Commission to preserve some of the original structural elements like tiling from the YMCA pool.
We gained LEED credits through our renovation projects: improved indoor air quality, low-VOC finishes, high-efficiency energy handler, LED light fixtures, and reused and recycled construction materials, among other criteria.
If you are in NYC, stop in and take a look at our Bowery store! If you are working on a green building, we have people knowledgeable in LEED Certification at all of our locations nationwide and we can assist you in reaching your LEED goals with Green Depot products. Most of our building products count toward LEED points in at least one category, so be sure to ask when you're getting started on your project!

Pickle Jars For PAWS
By Kellie Benz, PAWS Staff
On a single day here at PAWS, we experience a wide variety of moving and heart warming human and animal interactions and their corresponding stories.
From concerned citizens delivering a wounded wild animal to PAWS' Wildlife Hospital, to families reuniting with a lost pet at the shelter, to people visiting Cat City and discovering the perfect feline fit for their lives, we celebrate these stories knowing that the opportunity for a second chance is what inspires us every day.
Recently, we were visited by two people who didn't come to PAWS to adopt a new family member, or drop off an injured wild animal. No. This week, Gary and Jerry came by to deliver 10 pickle jars filled to the brim with coins just for PAWS.
They've been collecting these coins throughout the year and, in fact, this is the third year of their donation. What's remarkable about Gary and Jerry isn't just their generosity; it's that they are homeless.
As you can imagine, Gary and Jerry know a thing or two about second chances. When neither men had anything, they both thought often about what they would do if and when they had food and shelter again.
Now residents of St. Martin Des Porres in Seattle, Gary and Jerry met and found common ground in their wish to give something to homeless animals.
Rolling their brooms across the floors in St. Martin, they both noted how many coins they were collecting along the way. Determined to keep their promise to return the favor of second chances, Gary and Jerry began collecting the random coins.
In 2010, the duo had collected enough coins that they felt they could make a donation. Immediately they knew it had to be to PAWS. Perhaps understandably, Gary and Jerry felt a kinship with the animals that PAWS cares for.
To this day, some three years later, Gary and Jerry, and all of their friends at St. Martin Des Porres are still collecting spare change and donating it to PAWS.
In gratitude, and due to the amount of money raised, a Kennel has been dedicated in honor of the facility's unique and moving gift.
Next time you visit PAWS, take a look around for St. Martin Des Porres' name on a kennel door.
We're proud to know you Gary and Jerry, and all the men at St. Martin Des Porres. We thank you and honor you because you remind us of the good that's inside each and every one of us.
Find out how you can help animals at PAWS.
Story update: Since taking his photo on Friday afternoon, 1 year old Scamp has found his new forever family! Goodbye Scamp, we really loved meeting you.

"We applaud the agencies for taking this step and encourage them to initiate a rulemaking as quickly as possible to foster a public process that eliminates confusion and restores protection to wetlands that are most important to waterfowl."
Memphis, Tenn. (PRWEB) April 27, 2011
Sportsmen and women across the country have reason for encouragement today after the administration initiated steps to restore Clean Water Act protections to many wetlands and streams.
These waters are critically important to waterfowl and other wildlife populations throughout the nation. In addition to recreational opportunities they provide for anglers, hunters and other wildlife enthusiasts, an estimated 117 million Americans also depend on streams for drinking water. Many millions more, including farmers and ranchers, benefit from the groundwater wetlands recharge and the flood protection they provide.
"The Clean Water Act has been a critical safety net for our nation's wetlands," former DU President John Tomke said today from Milwaukee, Wis., during the press conference where the guidance was released. "It is critical that the CWA continue to provide those protections to the fullest extent possible, while remaining consistent with the law and the rulings of the courts." Tomke represented DU at the event and was asked to speak to the press.
Ducks Unlimited has long supported the needs of waterfowl and sportsmen, and therefore supports the initiation of an open, transparent process by which long-standing CWA protections can be restored to wetlands important to waterfowl. This process began with today's release of draft regulatory guidance. The draft guidance seeks to more clearly define which U.S. waters are subject to CWA protections. The guidance is open to comment from the public.
"We are very encouraged to see the release of this draft guidance and support the agencies' efforts to restore CWA protections," Dale Hall, DU's CEO, said. "While we have not thoroughly analyzed it, we are hopeful the draft guidance will go a long way toward reducing confusion about Clean Water Act administration. Administrative guidance is needed in order to restore protections to many wetlands." These wetland areas include prairie potholes, which are important for maintaining waterfowl populations and the traditions associated with them throughout North America.
Hall emphasized it would be important for the guidance to retain existing exemptions for agriculture and forestry. He said the guidance simply clarifies regulations that already exist and, importantly, does not add additional regulations.
DU's specific interests center on wetlands that lie in landscapes particularly important for waterfowl during the breeding season, migration and on the wintering grounds. "Unless adequate protection of many of the nation's wetlands, streams, lakes and headwaters is restored, wetlands and waterfowl will remain threatened," DU Chief Biologist Dale Humburg, said. "Wetlands are important to waterfowl, but they are also important to those who care about waterfowl, including duck and goose hunters and the millions more who appreciate the spectacle of migration. Without abundant and healthy wetlands, there will not be plentiful waterfowl."
The confusion regarding the extent of CWA protections resulted from the decisions of two U.S. Supreme Court cases, SWANCC (2001) and Rapanos (2006). Together, these decisions removed protections for as much as 20 million acres of wetlands, particularly prairie potholes and other seasonal wetlands essential to waterfowl populations. Geographically isolated wetlands in the Prairie Pothole Region are currently without clear rules that ensure their protection, and since the majority of breeding ducks in the United States come from the Prairie Pothole Region, the habitats for millions of waterfowl may not have CWA protection.
"A team of DU science and policy specialists will analyze the guidance," Hall said. "We will actively support elements of the guidance that restore CWA protections that had existed for decades prior to the SWANCC decision and that are consistent with the findings of the Court. We will also provide science-based comments to further achieve that objective. We applaud the agencies for taking this step and encourage them to initiate a rulemaking as quickly as possible to foster a public process that eliminates confusion and restores protection to wetlands that are most important to waterfowl."

Ducks Unlimited is the world's largest nonprofit organization dedicated to conserving North America's continually disappearing waterfowl habitats. Established in 1937, Ducks Unlimited has conserved more than 12 million acres thanks to contributions from more than a million supporters across the continent. Guided by science and dedicated to program efficiency, DU works toward the vision of wetlands sufficient to fill the skies with waterfowl today, tomorrow and forever.

QX3 Time-Lapse Movie Gallery
Trinitrotoluene (TNT)
This organic chemical explosive is synthesized in the laboratory by careful nitration of toluene. It reacts vigorously with reducing agents and must be detonated by a high velocity initiator such as nitramine or by efficient concussion. When recrystallized from the melt, TNT will slowly crystallize, forming beautiful dendritic needle-like crystals. The time-lapse movie was made using a modified version of the Intel Play QX3 microscope equipped for polarized light illumination with a full-wave (first order) retardation plate.

The dog days of February have arrived. At least for Kate Middleton.
Prince William will shortly head off to the Falkland Islands for six weeks for search-and-rescue work and Kate will be at home taking care of their new bundle of joy.
No, not that kind. The four-legged furry kind.
With her will be the couple's new dog, a cocker spaniel (not the one pictured here, but close enough). The royals were spied on a beach with a dog a few weeks ago, but it is only now that St. James's Palace has confirmed they have indeed welcomed a male canine into their cozy confines in Wales.
It was first speculated to be a black Labrador -- William had one as during his teen years -- but it is a black cocker. Kate is very familiar with the breed, since she used the have one called Otto and her parents currently have one. It's not known whether the dog was a present for Christmas or birthday (Kate turned 30 on Jan. 9). However, it's reported that the couple met their dog-to-be while visiting Kate's parents in Bucklebury a few days after Christmas.
The dog is apparently a few months old and came from a litter "with a close family connection."
The pup will have plenty of royal playmates. Prince Charles and Camilla adopted a Jack Russell terrier last summer (Beth's the name), and the Queen has seven corgis/dorgis that have the run of the palace.
You can have a look at the new royal watchdog here.
Prince William used to have a black Lab named Widgeon, seen here enjoying a family outing with Prince Charles and Harry.

It is located in the central part of the city as it extends from Syntagma Square and Vassilissis Sofias Avenue to Lycabetus Hill foot. It took its name from the old column (kolonaki) which stands in the middle of the homonym square. Until the 1880's it was a sparsely inhabited area with only few houses. It has lots of green areas and beautiful architecture with dominating neoclassic and modernistic buildings of high standards that give it an aristocratic character. It is considered to be the "aristocratic" district of Athens with many expensive shops, popular coffee houses, busy modern bars and luxurious restaurants. Some streets worth to walk on are Patriarchou Ioakim, Tsakalof, Anagnostopoulou, Milioni, Fokilidou, Karneadou, Loukianou, Ploutarchou, Charitos, Spefsipou, the ring-road of Lycabetus Hill etc.
Kolonaki Square (Filikis Eterias). One of the must things that you have to do in Athens is to drink coffee in one of the coffee places in Kolonaki. Spending time in one of the square coffee places, drinking, eating and chatting, is a must to do for every modern Athenian as well as foreign visitor.
Deksameni Square. It is a small square where locals spend their time. The traditional coffee house of the square is very popular with Athenians and other visitors, and once was a meeting point for many intellectuals of the 20th century. There is also an old water reservoir and a summer cinema.
Skoufa Street A central street of Kolonaki with many neoclassic and art deco buildings. Until you reach Delfon Str. you will see many shops and modern coffee houses.
Aghios Dionisios (Skoufa Str.). This impressive church was built in the beginning of the 1930's on the ruins of another church. Its exterior is of cinquecento style while its interior has been decorated in Byzantine style. Aghios Dionisios Aeropagitis, one of the first Athenian Christians, is the patron saint of Athens.
Lycabetus Square. It is located behind Aghios Dionisios Church (in the intersection of Lycabetus and Anagnostopoulou Streets). Dragoumi Mansion (1925), which in the past housed Brazilian Embassy and today is a private residence, dominates in the square.
Marasleio. It is a very impressive neoclassic building (in the intersection of Marasli and Spefsipou Streets) designed by architect D. Kallia (1905) and houses the educational foundation "Marasleio Elementary School".
Voukourestiou Street. A typical Athenian street, which begins from Lycabetus Hill foot and ends up in Syntagma Square. In its pedestrian part (from Akadimias Str. to Panepistimiou Str.) there are numerous beautiful coffee places and bars that gather many Athenians.
Taxiarches (the church of Petraki Monastery – Kolonaki)..
Gennadios Library. An impressive building of classic style, inaugurated in 1926 to house a collection of books (overall 26.000 volumes) donated to Athens American School of Classic Studies by I. Gennadios. In 1960 this building was extended and a large garden with rich vegetation was planted around it (for the collections and the books of the library.
Shopping in Kolonaki. Some of the most modern boutiques in town known for products such as haut couture clothes of Greek and foreign designers, shoes and leather apparels, accessories, toys, antique furniture, jewels, items for the house etc are situated here. In Voukourestiou Str. and other streets around Syntagma Square you will find Greek jewelers of worldwide reputation, book stores that expertise in foreign publication, as well as remarkable galleries which host art works of Greek painters and sculptures.
Syntagma Square
It is Athens' central square. It took its name from the event of the 3rd of September 1843, when in the area in front of the Palace (today's Parliament), the people and the garrison of Athens rebelled asking King Othonas to establish a Constitution. Syntagma Square and Omonia Square are the two reference points of the city. So do not be surprised when hearing the word Syntagma every time you ask for directions. Plaka, Acropolis, the Metropolitan Church, the National Garden, Ermou Str. and Kolonaki are all close to Syntagma Square. Some of the most modern coffee houses and small restaurants are located in this area. This square never sleeps. In square's kiosks you can find everything you need, from aspirins to souvenirs as well as newspapers and foreign magazines.
The Parliament. It dominates in Syntagma Square. It was built as the Palace of Othonas, the first king of Greece. Its construction lasted from 1836 until 1842. The second king, Georgios the 1st also stayed in this Palace. During his reign, two massive fires destroyed the building in such extent that it was inappropriate for royal use. The government of 1924 was the one that decided the Greek Parliament should be housed there. The reconstruction works were finished in 1934 and its interior was designed by the architect A. Kriezi. The Parliament houses national treasures such as the first Constitution of Greece and many valuable paintings. It is also worth to visit its great library.
Monument to the Unknown Soldier. It was built during the period from 1929 to 1932 in front of the Greek Parliament. It is a bas-relief depicting a dead soldier (by the sculptor K. Dimitriadi) and has an inscription with an extract from Pericles Epitaph written on it. The greatest fights of the Greek army since 1821 are depicted on the marble wall surrounding it. The monument is guarded 24 hours by two selected guards, called Evzones, who wear traditional Greek costumes. It is also the place where Greek officials and visitors place garlands in big celebrations. The ritual, during which the guards change positions, happens every hour and is a unique event which attracts many people especially on Sunday mornings, when the guards are escorted by a military band and a large Evzones force.
"Great Britannia" Hotel. A luxurious hotel, constructed in 1842 as a private residence. It was designed by Th. Hansen and in 1874 it was reconstructed as a hotel. In 1958, due to the high touristic needs, it was reconstructed again and new floors were added to it. In 2003 it was fully restored. This hotel has been connected with the greatest moments of Modern Greek History, while many famous personalities have stayed here when visiting Athens. Visit its interior areas where you can find coffee houses, bars and a luxurious restaurant with unique atmosphere.
Ancient Water Reservoir. In the NE side of the square (a covered open-air space) was found and is exhibited part of the ancient cemetery and the Peisistrateios water reservoir.
Filellinon Street. A remarkable street extending from Stadiou Str. In the intersection of Xenofontos and Souri Streets you can see the neoclassic houses, Sotiras Lycodimus Church and Aghios Pavlos Anglican Church (1843), designed by Ch. Hansen with Gothic elements and in a shape of cross.
Amalias Avenue. It is a wide avenue that leads from Andrianos Gate to Syntagma Square. The fact that it is next to the National Garden as well as its impressive neoclassic houses give it unique atmosphere. As you walk up the street towards Syntagma Square, pay attention to the view with the Parliament and Lycabetus Hill in the background.
It opens in the morning until sunset and is considered to be an oasis in the center of Athens. The National Garden extends over 160 sq. m and there you can find 500 different species of plants, bushes and trees from all over the world. Its plantation was accomplished during the period from 1838 to 1860 and it was the Palace garden. It has four entrances: from Vassilissis Sofias Av., Herodes Atticus Str., Vassilissis Amalias Av., while its forth entrance connects National Garden with Zappeio Park. Walk around its pathways, listen to the birds singing and sit on a bench to rest. In the National Garden you can also see a lake with ducks, a small zoo, Botanic Museum, a small traditional coffee house, children library, playground, some ancient monuments and busts of famous personalities of modern Greece.
Zappeio Mansion. This impressive mansion was designed by Th. Hansen and constructed the period from 1874 to 1888. The last few years, in this "Conventions and Exhibitions Mansion" many important episodes of Modern Greek History took place: European summits, election results and important political announcements. At the same time, many exhibitions and concerts are hosted here. In front of Zappeio Mansion are the statues of Zappa cousins who financed its construction, while the homonym garden extends around them. Many Athenians go to Zappeio Park especially on Sundays. Right next to it operates a luxurious coffee place and a summer cinema.
An impressive Athens area with luxurious buildings, villas and rich vegetation. It is located in the area between Vassilissis Sofias Av., Riggilis Str., Vassileos Kontstantinou Av. and Herodes Atticus Str. and is considered to be a glamorous area due to its location (close to the old Palace, today's Presidential Mansion).
Presidential Mansion (Herodes Atticus Str.). It is the former Royal Palace, of neoclassic style and with elements of eclecticism (1890-1897), designed by E. Ziller. Initially, it was used as the residence of the heirs of the throne, later as a Palace and after 1974 as the official residence of the President of Democracy. It is surrounded by an impressive garden and is guarded by Evzones who wear typical traditional Greek costume.
Maximou Mansion (Herodes Atticus Str.). It is the Prime Minister's official residence and office. It was designed in 1924 by An. Chelmi and accomplished after his death by his wife and her new husband D. Maximo. It is surrounded by a small garden.
The statues. At the end of Herodes Atticus Street (opposite Kallimarmaro Stadium) are the three most beautiful public sculptures in the city: Discovolus, a bronze statue by K. Dimitriadis (1927), marble Wood-Chopper (by D. Filippoti, 1872-1875), for which athlete B. Giannoulis posed, and G. Karaiskaki Statue, a bronze monumental statue (4.40 m height) by M. Tobros (1963-1966), where the equestrian Greek hero is represented.
This really impressive site, built from white marble in a shape of horseshoe, is located opposite of the National Garden. The first stadium, constructed in the same location, was made of wood (330 B.C.). The marble construction, the exact replica of which is today's stadium, was built by Herodes Atticus. It was the place of sports games, which were organized during Panathenaea celebration. Today's Stadium, which can seat 60.000 spectators, was built the period from 1869 to 1870 and hosted the first Olympic Games organized in modern history (1896). Around the stadium is the lush green Ardittou Hill, popular area for walking.
One of the most elegant districts in Athens. It was uninhabited until the 1870's. It took its name from the homonym beer bar that operated at that time and for many years it was an entertainment area. Until the 1950's Ilissos River was crossing the area (today's Arditou Str.). Nowadays, it is a quiet area, which covers the area between Ardittou Hill and the 1st Cemetery (through the pedestrian Logginoy Str.). There are small coffee houses in the central street of M. Moussourou area, while it is worth to walk in other typical streets of the area (Nik. Theotoki, Trivonianou, Dikaearchou, Balanou etc). By walking in Kleitomachou, Archimidous and Ebedokleous streets you can reach the small Varnava Square with many coffee places, traditional taverns and luxurious restaurants. By taking Agras Str. you can go back to Panathenaiko Stadium.
It is the oldest and largest cemetery in Athens, in which some of the most remarkable personalities of modern Greece were buried (politicians, researchers, artists, religion leaders etc). It was established the same year as the Greek State and has architectural influences from West European big cemeteries of the 19th century. It is actually an open-air sculpture gallery, developed in an impressive and quiet garden, with tomb artworks, created by the most remarkable Greek sculptors of the last two centuries.
Koimomeni. The most famous sculpture of neo Hellenic art, created in 1878 by G. Chalepa for the tomb of S. Afentaki.
G. Averof Monument. This is the most impressive sculpture of the cemetery, created by G. Vitalis and D. Filippoti. The national benefactor's bones rest there since 1908.
E. Schliemann Monument. It is a tomb in the shape of a small church created by the German archeologist who discovered the city of Troy. It was created by E. Ziller (1892). The podium of the little church is surrounded by a stripe of bas-relief depictions of Trojan War.
Chr. Zografos Monument. It is a monument of cinquecento type. It has copied the Mausoleum of Lorenzo Medici in Florence.
Gimnos Aggelos (Naked Angel). An amazing tomb sculpture on N. Koumelis grave, created by G. Vitsari.

MySpace Pushes Public Service
Wednesday, July 5, 2006
MySpace.com, the social-networking site that boasts 90 million members who are "friends" with one another online, is trying to galvanize its user base to get involved in public service.
It is doing so by sponsoring a contest, which begins today, requesting submissions of 15- to 30-second video public-service announcements encouraging social activism. The winner will be featured in Seventeen magazine, which is co-sponsoring the contest.
MySpace has attracted attention -- and notoriety -- for the things people post online. Claiming a membership equal to nearly a third of the American population, the site has become a launch pad for new musical and comedic acts who post their music on a page. Organizations, celebrities, politicians and companies have established their own Web sites. News stories also have reported about young MySpace members attracting sexual predators through their MySpace pages.
The contest's sponsors said they hope to use its spotlight to bring awareness to issues that would be of concern to a broad base of people.
"It's really a powerful way to reach people," said Jeff Berman, senior vice president of public affairs for MySpace.
Thousands of MySpace members submitted videos of themselves dancing to Ciara's song "Get Up" in a contest sponsored by Touchstone Pictures for a chance to appear in the music video, and Berman said he hopes for a similar turnout for the public-service contest, which will be judged by a panel of judges from Seventeen and MySpace. Next month, the online community will select the winner from the top three candidates. The winner will be announced the week of Aug. 21.
"We wanted to use our two mediums for greater good," said Atoosa Rubenstein, editor in chief of Seventeen, who said the magazine and its editors all started their own MySpace pages to keep in touch with their readers. With 13 million readers, Seventeen is the top-ranked magazine among teenage girls, while MySpace ranks No. 1 among teens' favorite Web sites, she said. "We're almost organizers with a powerful megaphone."
Research shows that while a majority of teens say they care, a minority are actually involved in volunteerism.
Michael Wood, vice president of Teenage Research Unlimited, a Northbrook, Ill.-based market research firm, uses the term "armchair activists" to describe many teens. "They are interested in community service as long as it's served up to them on a silver platter."
In a recent survey, 63 percent of teens said they care about others and want to make the world a better place, Wood said, but only 25 percent were involved in a volunteer activity. Teens took to the yellow Livestrong cancer-research bracelets because they were easy to wear and it allowed them to broadcast their involvement, Wood said.
"They're not as passive as that might suggest, but they lack an easy opportunity to get involved," he said. After all, "they're still teenagers, and they don't want to work too hard to get involved."

When you break down the components of your data center, you realize most have evolved in an effort to avoid the headaches with which they were once associated. Your networking platform is unlikely to introduce new problems into your environment, while your compute system is likely managed via virtualization. However, many of the management issues traditionally rooted in storage remain, especially as companies scale their IT deployments to support their growing businesses.
So, what's the holdup on the storage front? The answer to such a frustrating question is surprisingly simple. There's no one-size-fits-all solution for improving data storage – rather, the tactic that fits best with your company is likely as unique as your data itself. Currently, most major vendors are pushing a flash-focused vision for the future of data storage, and, while these strategies have plenty of merit, the investment involved with a flash deployment is unrealistic for any organization looking to scale. That's not to say flash should be avoided altogether; instead, you should carefully consider how your storage system can best handle data throughout its life cycle and be prepared to adjust as needed to provide new business value for end users.
In this slideshow, ClearSky Data CTO Laz Vekiarides shares five tips to help companies ask the right questions and start solving long-term issues with storage and data management at their core.
Lazarus Vekiarides is the chief technology officer and co-founder of ClearSky Data, a stealth mode startup building a breakthrough enterprise infrastructure solution.

IT Services has applied a password-protected screen saver to all Active Directory workstations. The inactivity period has been set to the maximum allowed time set by state policy of 30 minutes.
Please be sure to log out of the workstations when you leave, especially in public labs and areas where workstations are typically shared. This may prove challenging in student computer labs; be sure to remind students to log out before they leave. If you don't log out, the next person who uses the computer could have access to your files and email.
IT Services may have to decrease the inactivity period before the password-protected screen saver activates if we get reports of unattended workstations. Keeping our computing environment safe is everyone's responsibility.
Below is an excerpt of the North Carolina Statewide Information Security Manual. For those who would like to read it, here's the link to the full document:
Statewide Information Security Manual (April 20 2012)
020103 Securing Unattended Work Stations
Purpose: To prevent unauthorized system access.
Workstations shall be safeguarded from unauthorized access — especially when left unattended. Each agency shall be responsible for configuring all workstations to require a password-protected screen saver after a maximum of thirty (30) minutes of inactivity. Users shall not disable the password-protected configuration specifications established by their agency. Users shall lock their workstations when leaving them unattended.
