Sallie Krawcheck invests in pro-women fundJune 4, 2014: 12:47 PM ET
Sallie Krawcheck has long preached the financial benefits of gender diversity in Corporate America.
The former Wall Street executive is now putting her money where her mouth is.
On Wednesday, Krawcheck took a major stake in the first and only mutual fund in the U.S. that focuses on investing in companies with strong track records for advancing female leadership.
"While gender diversity is a nice-to-do, I have become convinced that gender diversity is also a smart-to-do ... and an under-appreciated driver of superior company performance," Krawcheck wrote in a LinkedIn Influencer post titled "Investing 2.0: A Modern Way to Invest."
The new fund, dubbed the Pax Ellevate Global Women's Index Fund, seeks to measure and capture the contribution of gender diversity to business success. It will replace the Pax World Global Women's Equality Fund (PXWEX).
The fund will track the Pax Global Women's Leadership Index, which holds investments in gender-conscious companies such as AT&T (T), Deutsche Bank (DB) and Yahoo! (YHOO).
Related: Sallie Krawcheck's 10 tips for succeeding on Wall Street
Thirty-one percent of the board seats and 24% of executive management positions of the companies in the new fund are held by women, compared with a global average of just 11% for each. All of the companies in the fund have at least one woman on their board and 97% have at least two.
Krawcheck pointed to research that indicates diverse leadership teams suffer less groupthink, generate higher returns on equity, focus more on clients, enjoy greater innovation and feature lower gender pay disparities.
Yet "progress on gender diversity in corporate America has actually stalled ... and in the financial services industry we've gone backward," said Krawcheck, who previously served as chief financial officer of Citigroup (C) and head of Bank of America's (BAC) Merrill Lynch division.
Krawcheck recently told CNN Money that Wall Street went into the crisis, "white, male and middle aged" and came out "whiter, male-er and middle age-er."
In an effort to fix this issue, Krawcheck has invested in the Ellevate global professional women's network, which sports 34,000 members and was formerly named 85 Broads.
There are some on Wall Street who don't think that socially conscious investing can be profitable.
Krawcheck even joked: "Isn't impact investing about eating a lot of granola and hugging a bunch of trees?"
But she believes the next wave of investors "seek to earn a fair return AND express their values."

Performance Audio has the cans for you!
On the ear, over the ear, in the ear, near the ear. Any way you wear them, Performance Audio has headphones and earphones you want! We have headphones for DJ's, engineers, recording artists, performance artists, audiophiles, fitness & sports enthusiasts and everyone else who wants to enjoy great accurate sound in comfort and style.
Open-Back headphones do not block out ambient noise and allow some sound to leak out of the earpieces. However, open-back models can often sound more airy, clear or spacious versus their closed counterparts. Open headphones are especially useful if you need to remain aware of your external surroundings.
Closed-Back or sealed headphones are great for helping to block outside sounds from getting in and also help keep sound from leaking out. Large closed-back headphones with bigger earcups typically deliver a bit more isolation than smaller-sized closed-back models.
In-Ear headphones or earphones are similar to closed-back headphones in that they feature great sound isolation. While the small speakers needed to fit inside your ear do have some limitations, there are plenty of benefits in portability and convenience.
There are Bluetooth wireless headphones, active battery-powered noise-canceling headphones for travel, TV-oriented headphones, professional recording studio headphones, exercise and running headphones and even killer high-end audiophile headphones modified for tweaked-out balanced-drive home audio systems. So many great headphone and earphone choices, and Performance Audio carries them all!

Oh cheese envy!

Hey Simon,

I really wish I could have come!! Denea is all of those things, and I don't know Lisa very well but she is very talented.
hi joey, i haven't tried it yet but i'm sure i'll have to keep it to a low dose. i'm scared of it.
hi john, good to see you there.
hi lisa, thanks for the extra info about the vermouth recipe
hi sandra, would have been good to see you again. hopefully next time.

Though numbers are down, crime still an issue around UC campus
University officials taking steps to crack down on crime
Overall crime numbers are down, but not the concerns for University of Cincinnati officials and students.
With an urban campus, Cincinnati has long been plagued by off-campus criminals targeting students and staff.
The school is spending more on lights, cameras and off-duty patrols, has doubled capacity for a night ride service, and plans to hire at least 10 more university police officers.
President Santa Ono has been speaking out and recently appealed to Hamilton County judges to crack down on predatory criminals targeting UC students.
Cincinnati and university police say overall crimes in the areas around campus have decreased by 25 percent over the past five years, The Cincinnati Enquirer reported.
Burglaries, however, increased over the 2012 year.
UC officials aren't trumpeting a crime decrease because they know students who have been victimized don't feel relieved.
"People don't want to hear what the numbers are because if you're a number, you're not happy," said interim UC Police Chief Jeff Corcoran. "I don't blame them for that."
UC is building a database to help spot crime patterns, and college and city police are working together closely.
They are encouraging students to report crimes quickly, to give them a chance to respond and start investigating before the trail goes cold.
Expensive smartphones and laptops help draw criminals to the areas around campus in search of something to steal and sell quickly, police said.
"Those are high-commodity items right now," said Cincinnati Police Capt. Paul Neudigate.
The school will start a training program this spring to help students learn to keep themselves away from threatening situations. Police want them to avoid areas where they are vulnerable, to travel in groups and to be aware of their surroundings.
"When it's dark, I'm not on my phone, I don't text, and I don't listen to music," said Morgan Cummins of St. Bernard, a fourth-year student.
"On campus, it's good," said Phillip Graham, a third-year student. "Off campus, it depends on how far you're going and where you live. I guess it's like any other college. The later it gets and the darker it gets, things get a little weird."

Having this would get rid of another time waster in web app development, having to switch back and forth to the mysql command line.
I'd say that for a lot of projects SQL is a tad overkill (people commonly use what they know). Consider having a look at http://common-lisp.net/project/elephant/ and http://common-lisp.net/project/rucksack/; persistence libraries. They're both relatively easy to use (elephant has quite a few dependencies though; rucksack is written in mostly portable CL). And they're both relatively fast. They don't, however, come with any pre-built GUI's or fancy command-line tools (that I know of).
My two cents.

Trip Report: Blue Bottle Cafe @ Mint Plaza
Posted by TheShot on 23 Jan 2008 | Tagged as: Café Society, Local Brew, Machine, Roasting
Today Blue Bottle Coffee Co. opened up their long-anticipated Mint Plaza café — their first true space (besides kiosks and outdoor carts at the Ferry Building and in the East Bay) to showcase James Freeman's commitment to freshness.
The café is located at a bend in Jesse St. in the Mint Plaza alleyway — in the corner of the old San Francisco Provident Loan Association building (SF's largest jewelry-only pawn shop, if that gives you an indication of the neighborhood's dicey past). It's a bright space with tall ceilings and tall windows that look out on Jesse and Mint Sts. Along the windows is a series of stools with counter seating. Inside there is limited seating at the siphon bar (more on that below) and one long, high table surrounded by stools.
Of course the emphasis is coffee in all its various forms. But there's also a worthy dessert menu (Caitlin A. Williams is their pastry chef).
For their "routine" espresso blends ($2), they use a three-group La Marzocco GB/5. As you would expect from Blue Bottle, the barista concentrates on timing a slow and deliberate shot — producing an espresso with a richly textured, medium brown patterned crema. It has a beautiful color in the light of the space, a potent aroma, but a thinner body than you might expect for something of this quality. Still, it has a classically robust Blue Bottle espresso flavor of roasted tobacco with an edge of a sweeter honey. Served in a classic brown Nuova Point cup with a glass of water on the side.
Single Origin Espresso
Of course, as a showcase for Blue Bottle Coffee, this is just the beginning of the coffee experience here. James has established a weekly rotation of single origin espresso shots, served from a dedicated old copper, manual, two-group La San Marco machine. Today's special single origin roast was a Brazilian Camocim Bourbon. Producing one of the very best, if not the best, blended espresso in town, Blue Bottle's single origin Camocim Bourbon will knock your socks off and comes highly recommended at $3. (James apparently knows me too well, as he personally served me up one before I even had the chance to ask!)
It has an exquisite aroma. The crema is a rich, mottled, and frothy medium brown — a touch thinner in size, as you might expect from a single origin espresso, but it has texture for miles. It has a robust flavor — there aren't any elements noticeably missing, which is common to single origin espressos — and tastes of chocolate and some tobacco smokiness. Served in a white ACF cup — it is an outstanding recommendation over the "standard" blend.
Siphon Bar
For this café's opening day, the siphon bar earned Blue Bottle a front-page story on the "Dining In" section of the day's New York Times. And the place buzzed with the feel of a grand opening. James was beaming over his latest pride and joy, cameras were about still taking photographs of the place and its coffee, and many of the local coffeescenti came by to welcome the place (including Eileen Hassi of Ritual Coffee Roasters while I was there).
So what is this "siphon bar"? For one, it's not necessarily anything radically new or different. It is essentially vacuum pot coffee made with a special system imported from Japan, except it uses halogen lamps as a heat source and cotton cloth filters that James told me should last a whole year. (Cafe Bello, for example, has offered vacuum pot brewed coffee for the past four years — even though it's no longer listed on their main café menu.) The New York Times may have gone ga-ga over their fixation with its price tag — which they quoted as $20,000 for the setup — but James dismissed some of that figure on many of the peripheral parts they purchased, training, etc.
However, the siphon bar presents a unique way to experience some of Blue Bottle's most exquisite coffees. They offered three different bean options. I had their Idido Misty Valley Ethiopian ($10) — which comes accompanied with chocolate sea salt caramels. The pairing may sound a bit pretentious (I'm leery whenever coffee people try to shoehorn familiar wine tasting rituals on themselves), but it works quite well — enhancing both the flavors of the delicate, clean coffee and the richer chocolate and caramel. In any case, the café could barely keep up with the novelty demand for their siphon bar coffee.
James Freeman may have made his start in the East Bay, but as a resident north of the Panhandle, he has made this location a showpiece and a true coffee destination for the city. Some Blue Bottle loyalists might piss and moan because "Blue Bottle was way cooler when you could drink espresso shots made by a tattooed slacker over a sewer cover in a back alley," but we'll take good coffee over misplaced adolescent attitude and poser angst any day.
Read the review of Blue Bottle Cafe at Mint Plaza. — with ratings based on their standard espresso blend.

In this article
How will I feel during my twin pregnancy?Finding out that you are expecting twins may come as a complete shock, and it may take a while for it to sink in. You may worry about how you will cope with two babies at once, or be concerned about complications with the pregnancy or birth.
As your babies grow, you will probably become tired easily and need to rest quite a bit (HFEA 2006). You will put on more weight than if you were pregnant with just one baby, and this may sometimes get you down (Tamba 2009).
Finding out as much as you can about your antenatal care may ease your worries. You'll be offered more regular checks and scans than if you were carrying one baby. This is to monitor the health of your babies (NICE 2011).
Keep in mind that the majority of mums expecting twins or more give birth to healthy babies, and complications are relatively rare (Tamba 2009). Having a caesarean is more common with twins, but many women still have a vaginal birth.
Mums of twins are more likely to feel anxious or depressed during pregnancy and after birth (Tamba 2012). This may partly be due to worry about the increased risks involved. But this doesn't mean that this will happen to you (NCCWCH 2011: 22, 87, Ross et al 2011, Sheard 2007). Going to antenatal or parenting class may help you to prepare (Tamba 2012).
To gain the energy you need during and after your pregnancy, try to eat a healthy diet and take gentle exercise. But check with your doctor before starting any new exercise programme.
Are pregnancy symptoms worse with twins?You may suffer more from some of the usual niggles and symptoms of pregnancy if you are expecting twins. But this is not always the case (Lyons 2006, Tamba 2009).
Nausea and vomiting can be more of a problem with twins. You will have higher levels of the pregnancy hormone human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG), which may trigger pregnancy sickness (PRODIGY 2008, Tamba 2009).
In the early stages of pregnancy, higher levels of the hormone progesterone can make you feel short of breath. Later on, having two babies pushing up against your diaphragm can also make breathlessness worse.
You may also be more likely to have constipation, heartburn, indigestion (Tamba 2009), wind and bloating.
Later in your pregnancy there is more of a strain on your muscles because you are carrying additional weight, so back pain may be a problem (Tamba 2009).
Will I gain more weight if I am expecting twins?You are likely to gain more weight than mums who are expecting one baby (Tamba 2009). As in any pregnancy, try to eat a healthy diet to provide you and your babies with the nutrients you need. Eating healthily will also ensure that you gain enough weight for your babies to grow well.
Will I have extra antenatal care?Yes. You'll be offered extra scans and antenatal appointments if you are expecting twins.
The exact number of appointments and scans depends on:
- your individual situation;
- whether you've experienced pregnancy complications;
- whether or not your babies share a placenta (identical twins).
These extra scans will monitor your twins and check how well they are growing. Scans will also pick up any complications that may be developing (NICE 2011: 6). You'll have regular blood pressure and urine checks, because pregnant women expecting twins have a higher risk of developing:
- high blood pressure
- pre-eclampsia (NICE 2011)
- gestational diabetes (March of Dimes 2009, NICE 2011)
- anaemia
Your doctor may offer you and your husband extra practical and emotional support if you are having twins (NCCWCH 2011: 58). Ask your doctor to explain any extra tests and scans you may be asked to take (NCCWCH 2011: 58).
How will I cope with a twin pregnancy?You'll need plenty of rest, as you will be tired while carrying two babies, though bed rest is not recommended (NCCWCH 2011: 142, NICE 2011: 13). You may find it hard to sleep at night (Tamba 2009), which will add to your tiredness.
Getting help with errands and household chores before your babies are born should ease the burden. If you have older children, ask a friend or relative to look after them occasionally, so you can rest. Grab daytime naps when you can, and if you have a toddler, join her when she has her naps. Make rest a priority.
If you are working, consider taking maternity leave as early as you can. This makes sense anyway because carrying twins is hard work, and most twins arrive earlier than single babies (NCCWCH 2011: 128). More than half of twins arrive early, before 37 weeks (NCCWCH 2011: 120, Tamba 2012).
Talk to your doctor if you are feeling down about your pregnancy (NICE 2011). They will understand how you are feeling and offer suggestions or support from a specialist, if you need it (NCCWCH 2011: 77).
Where else can I find support?If you're having twins, it's important to ask for help. If friends and family offer to lend a hand, let them. If they don't offer to help, ask. Consider contacting a support group for advice and to meet other mums of twins.
What danger signs do I need to watch out for?The danger signs to look out for are the same as in any pregnancy. But do be alert to any unusual or worrying symptoms, because the risk of complications is higher when you are expecting twins. Try not to worry, and don't let it spoil your pregnancy. Remind yourself that complications are uncommon and that the vast majority of twins are born healthy.
Trust your instincts, and if you're not sure about a symptom, or just don't feel right, call your doctor.
Premature birth, before 37 weeks, happens in more than half of twin pregnancies (NCCWCH 2011: 120). Call your doctor if you think you are in labour, or if you are really worried, go straight to hospital.
Pre-eclampsia is more common in women who are expecting twins (NCCWCH 2011: 27, 175). It is a potentially serious complication that needs immediate medical attention. Pre-eclampsia is usually picked up by blood pressure and urine tests which take place during your antenatal appointments. In between appointments, symptoms to be aware of include:
- severe headaches;
- vision problems, such as blurring, or flashing lights before your eyes;
- pain in your upper abdomen;
- vomiting;
- sudden swelling of your feet, ankles, face and hands;
- excessive weight gain because of fluid retention.

Y'all ready to meet my favorite store in Phoenix?! Don't get me wrong, there are others that I absolutely love still, but this bad boy is my favoriteee! Rust & Roses {4200 North 7th AvenuePhoenix, AZ 85013 (602) 264-4999}. They always have something amazing there for you. They have big items, small items, items that make you wanna scream because they are so perfect, etc. Honestly though, there has never been a time that I went and didn't find something that I really wanted.
Here are some current photos of whats in the store:
|I have a weird love affair with claw-foot tubs, and esp. when they have stuff growing in them!
Speaking of Modern Manor, here is one of the owners, Kylie..and her adorable baby bump that I ADORE! She kept me company while I shopped around at all the stores featured this week-thanks Ky!
|Add caption
|I so wanted these babies. I would make them an amazing centerpiece with flowers, or put them on a shelf, really anything!
Do yourself a favor and go check out Rust & Roses, I promise you will not be disappointed. Up next, a cool store with a sucky owner.
I normally would never talk bad about someone in general, and especially on the internet, but man oh man. The owner of Figs was a terd to me…big time. Each store that I took photos of, I politely asked the owner/employee if I could, before I began. Yes, I prob. could sneak photos at each spot, and get away with it, but I wanted to be courteous. The second I walked in Figs, I snapped one photo with my freaking phone, for gosh sakes, and then was going to find the owner and ask. Well he saw me WITH MY PHONE and told me no photos "unless I was going to buy it". Umm, what?! You literally don't let patrons take photos of items so that they can go home and consider them?! He was weird, and creepy, and a terd. Thats that. We left immediately, even though they have tons of cool crap I would have wanted to shall yall. His loss. Here is the one photo I got, and of course it was of some fantastic metal baskets, that I actually was tempted by…not anymore though!
To end on a happy note, Figs does have cool stuff, as long as you don't have to deal with the owner, you'll have a great experience! Rust & Roses is amazing. Tomorrow- another great store!! Hope y'all are linking this series, because I am loving sharing the stores with you:)

I've been playing with the latest version of Fedora since the past few days. Much like how Ubuntu has a command-line based software installer called apt-get, Fedora comes with yum.
I was trying to update my Fedora install to the latest version of packages and noticed that all my downloads were incredibly slow.
No doubt, this was a result of the mirrors selected being overloaded/ saturated or just too slow. Here's 2 tips to improve your download speeds.
Yum Plugins – FastestMirror And Axelget
In addition to Yum's support for delta RPMs(which is awesome) yum also supports plugins. Two incredibly helpful plugins that help improve download speeds are
- FastestMirror
- AxelGet
FastestMirror connects to each mirror, times the connection and sorts the mirrors that yum can use thereby improving the download speeds. Installing fastest mirror is quite easy, type in
yum install yum-plugin-fastestmirror
To install the plugin. You'll need to have root privileges, else this will fail. Once installed, confirm that it is enabled by checking for presence of below files in
verbose = 0
socket_timeout = 3
enabled = 1
hostfilepath = /var/cache/yum/timedhosts.txt
maxhostfileage = 1
You can even explicitly set to exclude specific mirror by adding
exclude=slow-mirror1.com, slow-mirror2.com
to the above file, replacing slow-mirror1.com with your specific mirrors.
Axel is a pretty well-known command line download tool. Much like how IDM/FDM work, Axel uses the same concept of splitting the current file into multiple pieces and downloading them simultaneously, instead of one download at a time. Axel is the same tool which powers apt-fast, a tool to speed up program downloads / upgrades in Ubuntu. Setting up axelget is a bit more involved process.
- Download axelget.conf file. Once done, copy it to
sudo cp axelget.conf /etc/yum/pluginconf.d/
- Download axelget.py file. Once done, copy it to
sudo cp axelget.py /usr/lib/yum-plugins/
To confirm that the plugins are working, do a
yum update
. Yum should list out all the plugins in use
[[email protected] sathya]# yum install git
Loaded plugins: axelget, fastestmirror, langpacks, presto, refresh-packagekit
That's about it. With these two plugins, your downloads should be much faster.
Note: This should work for all distros supporting yum, I've tested this only on the current version of Fedora though.

The Nuttiest Mountaintop EverFriday, August 16th, 2013
We left Sibiu to head back to Bucharest for our flight home via the totally weird Transfagaran Highway. If some things are weird in Romania, then the Transfagaran Highway is the icing on top of the weird cake.
Yeah, it is pretty.
The landscape is barren and there are wild horses – well, I think they are wild – here and there. On this July day it was hot in Sibiu. Here, not so much. In fact there was still snow on the ground in some places. The road and pass are only open from late Spring until the end of summer or thereabouts.
Before we stopped anywhere, we went to our hotel to check in and eat a picnic we had brought. Our hotel was, well, a little gross/run down/precarious (seriously, no lights in the hallway when you are trying to climb the stairs?) but we were only there one night so we dealt with it. We planned for a picnic outside but as soon as we were unwrapping the cheese I felt a raindrop. A guy working at our hotel told us we could sit in this sort of enclosed patio room, which was very nice of him. As soon as we went in there it started to rain like crazy.
Oh, and there was lightening, and thunder. Oh joy. I am terrified of lightening and believe me when I tell you that lightening hit about 10 feet away from this little building. It was loud, the earth shook.. we were on top of a mountain, after all. The empty parking lot filled up with cars and motorcyclists needing to get out of the rain.
Eventually it stopped and we took off, and visited an area with some tourist stalls and a bar/restaurant. It was fairly bizarre there. A heavy mist lay on everything, and it was freezing. At one point, we saw this building – literally seconds later, it was gone.
I mean GONE. Like Avalon.
After some walking around and deciding not to sit in any smoky bars, we went on this crazy cable car that Deborah wanted to go on. I was nervous that there would be more lightening and I have a feeling that Dan was a little nervous too. But we did it for Deborah. I was happy to see that it was not too far to the ground in many places.
We ended up back at the hotel, sitting on our little hotel decks (mine had holes in it, so we sat on Deborah and Dan's) and eating another picnic. We had a nice view of the waterfall across the way, and also a sheepherder and his flock.
The sheep, and the sheep herder, scampered up to the TOP of that steep mountain, then came back down. I wonder what the herder does when it is really cold up there, not just California wimp cold.
The next day we got out of there and continued down the highway for our one night staying in a place by the Bucharest airport. As we got down the mountain we passed a horse drawn cart and Deborah said "I wonder if that's the last one of those we'll see." I said "I seriously doubt that." Winner? Me. We passed a few dozen more, some pretty close to Bucharest.
Driving IN Bucharest on the ring road – mi dio. I thought trying to cross the street in downtown Bucharest was hard. I have never seen such insane, nutty driving.. its drive with your front bumper taken to the most extreme level possible. Eventually we made it and our rooms were so nice and air conditioned and had a mini bar with white wine in there. Bonus!
At dinner we toasted Deborah for planning this adventure. What an adventure it was. Many many times I was trying hard to figure out what the heck was going on, but Romania is one of those places that sticks. When you get home you can't stop thinking about it. I want to go back someday.

BRECK & SCOTT -Dream you Away CDR (Teenline #205)
After the Shivvers split up in 1982, Scott Krueger went to L.A. to join the Wigs, but a year later he was back in Milwaukee where he began a five-year weekends-only collaboration with Shivvers/Orbits guitarist Breck Burns on Breck's 4-track Portastudio that resulted in a dozen heart-breakingly perfect guitar-pop songs that no one has EVER heard until now. Complex pop with a rare, poignant edge that only seems to come to people after they've made a determined run with a total pop machine (that would be the Shivvers in this case). Anyway, this is a REALLY pretty bunch of songs.
This CD also includes six songs by Breck and Scott's stellar 1980-81 powerpop band The Orbits (that were formerly available on the CD-R version of the Shivvers). $9.00
'Dream You Away'
'Day Into Night'
'On My Roof'
'She Won't Change'

White Town Lyrics
White Town's Photo
White Town Biography
The "band" White Town consists of Jyoti Mishra, who writes and records the music almost entirely on his own, with occasional help from other musicians. Although best -- in fact, almost entirely -- known for the fluke 1997 hit "Your Woman," White Town's mix of musical, political, and social influences makes Mishra one of the more intriguing, although frustratingly inconsistent, musicians in '90s indie pop.br /br /Mishra was born in Rourkela, India, on July 30, 1966; his family emigrated to England when he was three years old. The name White Town was inspired by his experiences growing up as an Indian in a small English village. Mishra began playing the piano at age 12, and by his mid-teens, he was playing keyboards in a local band. After leaving that group, he formed a one-man synth band. Inspired by the Wedding Present and the general resurgence of guitar-based pop music in the mid-'80s, Mishra taught himself guitar and formed the first edition of White Town in early 1989. Originally, it was a four-person indie band in the cla**ic post-C86 style, and played gigs supporting bands like the Sea Urchins and the pre-dance Primal Scream. The group released their first EP, White Town (featuring an eponymous song), on Mishra's own Satya Records in 1990. The 7" EP and a flexidisc that came out about the same time attracted the attention of Parasol Records, a northern-Illinois-based indie that was just starting out. A White Town single, "All She Said," was the label's fourth release. The rest of Mishra's band left around this time, and the next White Town release, the EP Alain Delon, was a solo recording. All future White Town records would feature only Mishra, playing nearly all the instruments with only occasional outside help.br /br /Two more EPs followed in 1992, Fairweather Friend and Bewitched, before Mishra finally released White Town's first full-length album in 1994; the title Socialism, Sexism and Sexuality neatly encapsulated the sometimes strident lyrical concerns of the songs therein. After the release of the album, Mishra grew tired of the limitations of the indie-guitar format and started working again with synthesizers and samplers. Two years' worth of experiments linking samples and guitars were released, in 1996, as the EP Abort, Retry, Fail? One of that EP's songs was "Your Woman," a song inspired in part by Mishra's teenage infatuation with a lesbian friend, based around a nagging trumpet sample from Lew Stone's 1932 jazz hit "My Woman." This song got EMI interested enough to sign White Town to their Chrysalis label, which released the full-length Women in Technology in 1997. Though the re-released "Your Woman" was a hit in both the U.S. and the U.K., interest in follow-up singles was nil, and Mishra happily went back to Parasol, where he released the Another Lover EP in 1998. The third White Town album, Peek and Poke, received mixed reviews upon its 2000 release. ~ Stewart Mason, All Music Guide

Along Lake Eyasi in northern Tanzania I come across the Hadza community sitting in male- and female-only groups, with the men playing small lute-like stringed instruments and applying a pre-hunt poisonous tree resin to their metal arrowheads. They light a small fire by rapidly twisting a hardwood twig into a softwood stick from the local Commiphora tree. It soon smoulders and, intrigued, I have a go too. It's surprisingly difficult, but with their help, I get it to smoke eventually.
I've travelled four hours west from the city of Arusha to meet this ancient tribe of hunter-gatherers, and join them in a bow-and-arrow hunt for prey among the thorn bushes. The Hadza people may have nothing – no animals, land or possessions aside from the clothes on their backs – but they are rich in the skills and resourcefulness they need to produce everything from their environment.
That's not all that sets them apart from most societies. The Hadza are thought to be the most ancient modern humans, the first surviving peoples to have split off from our ancestral family tree, and are not closely related genetically to any other peoples. Their language – a clicking tongue, also called Hadza – is unique and unrelated even to other clicking languages. Some linguists believe Hadza may be close to humankind's first ancestral language.
Dying out
However the language may not be around for long. The Hadza bushmen, who live in groups of around 15 people, are believed to have been living in this remote area for at least 10,000 years, but there are now less than 1,000 Hadza left. Fewer than 400 of them continue to live a stone-age lifestyle – they are among the last hunter-gatherers in a continent of farmers and pastoralists. The numbers will continue to drop, as their land is swallowed up by farmers, government-designated conservation areas and private game reserves. And their sing-song tongue, punctuated with clicks and glottal stops, and which has no words for numbers past four, is no longer being learned by all Hadza children. As the modern world encroaches, the language is in danger of being lost as Hadza make greater use of the widely spoken Swahili tongue.
What is at risk is not simply the vocabulary and grammar of this unique language, but the Hadza's – and by extension, part of humanity's – cultural heritage and expression.
The Hadza are not alone in facing the loss of their native tongue. Every 14 days a language dies. Over half of the approximately 7,000 languages spoken on the planet may disappear by the end of the century. In the age of the Anthropocene, language extinction is happening faster than species extinction. Eighty percent of the endangered languages are African, including Hadza, and the majority have no written form. Once the last speaker dies, so does the language. And for an oral culture, preserving language becomes even more important for maintaining the identity and heritage of a community.
It is said that with every language you speak you gain a new soul. But 80% of the world's population now speak just 1.1% of its languages, and universal languages, like English, dominate the internet, signage and the majority of published texts. So, is the Anthropocene becoming a duller place, in which the rich diversity of humanity's full and wonderful language abilities is reduced to a handful of tongues: English, Mandarin, and a few others? Are we in danger of losing our soul?
Not if some people have their way. They are fighting back to preserve rarer tongues - in some cases, with great success.
Unlikely saviour
Perhaps the most successful example is Hebrew, which was dead two centuries ago, before being revived and brought into the 20th century as a living language and the mother tongue of an entire generation of Israelis. Other languages have also been brought back from the brink of extinction through the sheer will and determination of their communities, including Welsh, Cornish, Gaelic and New Zealand Maori.
Language preservation works best when the language, culture and identity of minority-speaker communities are respected by national governments – rather than being banned, children are either fully taught in their mother tongue or given dedicated classes in it, in addition to learning the national or regional language. Evidence is mounting for the benefits of bi- or multi-lingualism, and for the social and psychological importance of mother-tongue conservation, which allows conversation across multiple generations and strengthens cultural continuity and community identity.
In some places, technology is proving an unlikely saviour. K. David Harrison, a linguist at Swarthmore College in Pennsylvania is creating 'talking dictionaries' of endangered languages that help users to preserve the tongues digitally though audio recordings of native speakers and pictures, and has a YouTube channel for endangered languages. The languages can then be used more easily for text messages over mobile phones, for example. "In some cases, people have created an orthography [script] for languages that have never been written down, so they can send SMS messages to each other," he says. So far, Harrison has created talking dictionaries in eight languages that have never previously been recorded including ones in Papua New Guinea, Siberia and Paraguay, and has six more dictionaries on the way.
One of the benefits of the globalised internet, Harrison says, is that remote villagers with endangered languages can reach a global audience. For example, a hiphop duo from a village in Arunachal Pradesh in northeast India, has garnered more than 9,000 global viewers for their YouTube video in the Aka language – that's more than ten times the number of Aka speakers.
The Hadza have now also had their language preserved in a dictionary by Kirk Miller, an American linguist who spent eight months living with them. It might be just in time. When we return from the bush hunt, a couple of the Hadza men try to sell me a bow and arrow, while some of the women string beads to sell to tourists. New cash from these enterprises is funding an unhealthy supply of alcohol that is eroding their culture as surely as the Tanzanian government's previous 'civilising' attempts. As communities cease to function productively, and individuals migrate away, fewer and fewer speakers will bear testimony to a way of life that was once practiced by the ancestors of us all.

Weekend Cook and Tell Round Up: Tomatoes to Die For
Our last challenge for Weekend Cook and Tell was for all of you to share the tomato dishes that make you giddy. We called this Tomatoes to Die For. Talk about tomato love. You know there are strong feelings when comments enter five paragraph territory. It was hard to edit this excitement down, but here are the dishes we equally died over.
yayfood looks forward anxiously to tomato season all year long. It was hard to be patient, but yayfood made it and made Pan con Tomate to celebrate. It's essentially a Spanish version of bruschetta, except typically served for the breakfast meal or as a snack.
Fortunately for tomatoes, summer heat is a good thing. This may not be fortunate for those feeling the heat. remcooks created a refreshing summer dish of Poached Nairagi (Striped Marlin) with Lime Basil Pesto on Sliced Tomatoes. Bright flavors and soft fish make for fantastic dance partners.
La Tavola Marche advises to let the tomatoes speak for themselves and to not overdress them. Here you can find Savory Slow Roasted Tomatoes with Filet of Anchovy as a little something to embrace but not overwhelm your tomatoes.
claireOOTO couldn't help but chime in and exclaimed, "Ack! This is the kind of topic that gets me in trouble because I post too many links. Freakin love tomatoes. Love them!!" To prove her love, she posted seven, yes seven, recipes. Honestly, you should just go here and choose for yourself. But for now, we'll treat you with Goat cheese & caramelized onion tart with arugula & pine nuts. Honestly, while using all caps to say, "I LOVE TOMATOES!!!" might be a bit much for some, we totally get the excitement. It's good that we get each other here.
What's that you say? Bacon makes everything better? ag3208 thought so. To prove it, ag3208 made Provencal Tomatoes but added bacon to "make it a bit more substantial entree for a meat eater" and said it turned out great.
lemonfair likes to sit around the house just eating bowlfuls. (we're not sure this is a bad habit to have.) But if you're looking for a how-to, here you go: "My one composed tomato dish starts with cooked linguine. Saute mushrooms til caramelized, add sliced onions and then briefly minced garlic. Add wedges of ripe tomatoes (I don't bother to peel), and cook only briefly. Deglaze with some white wine. Add linguine and feta. Remove from heat just before feta is fully melted into the wine and juices. Can add chicken, but I like this as a light vegetarian meal."
zahavah offered two tarte tartin options. We'll offer you the second, more savory Tomato Tarte Tatin. It has "intense tomato flavor due to tomato paste and pomegranate syrup/pomegranate molasses (which is easy to find in any middle eastern grocery store)and sprinkled with mint." zahava, our mouths and eyes thank you.
Finally, we have to finish with mangotomato. The name tells us what she loves. To honor her namesake, she made Tomato Jam; perfect for dinner parties, large and small.
A big thank you to everyone for their tomato love submitted for this week's Weekend Cook and Tell challenge. Be sure to head over to Talk and read about next week's challenge: Remembering Julia.

Coast Guard pressed to issue cruise safety reports
HARTFORD >> U.S. Senators from Connecticut, Massachusetts and West Virginia want to make it easier for consumers to assess the safety record of the cruise ship they are about to board in what for many is the vacation of a lifetime.
Connecticut U.S. Sen. Richard Blumenthal, Massachusetts' Ed Markey and West Virginia's Jay Rockefeller want the U.S. Coast Guard to publish online information from its inspection of cruise ships.
The request comes after the Coast Guard begun unannounced inspections of cruise ships at U.S. ports, targeting those with patterns of safety problems.
The senators sent a joint letter to the commandant of the U.S. Coast Guard, Adm. Robert J. Papp Jr., saying his agency does a disservice to the public when it keeps from consumers the identity of cruise ships and lines that have a pattern of safety violations.

Websites that collect personal information from Californians now have guidelines on helping users better understand how their information is used.
The guidelines, announced Wednesday by California Attorney General Kamala Harris, are voluntary and are intended to add clarity to the 2003 landmark California Online Privacy Protection Act, which Harris called the country's first law requiring commercial websites and mobile apps to conspicuously post a privacy policy if they collect personally identifiable information from Californians.
Last year, California also began requiring privacy policies to include information on how the operator responds to users who do not want their information shared via so-called "Do Not Track" signals, which are intended to stop their private information from being shared.
"This guide is a tool for businesses to create clear and transparent privacy policies that reflect the state's privacy laws and allow consumers to make informed decisions," Harris said in a statement.
The new guidelines urge companies to be more candid, in plain language, and encourage websites to notify users about what personal information they collect, how it's used, how long it will be held and whether third parties get access to it.
Aleecia McDonald, director of privacy at Stanford Law School's Center for Internet and Society, issued a statement calling Harris' recommendations "clear, readable, useful, and mercifully short. Companies will understand how to comply with the letter and spirit of California transparency laws."
But Santa Clara University law professor Eric Goldman, who is also director of the university's High Tech Law Institute, told this newspaper that Wednesday's announcement is merely the latest attempt to "build on a platform where there's no evidence that the platform was a smart one to begin with."
Goldman said California's landmark law has had no clear effect on protecting Web users' privacy.
"In 2003, California blazed a trail, as it loves to do, as the vanguard of protecting consumer privacy," Goldman said. "But the law doesn't guarantee any privacy. And merely telling consumers whether they're being tracked is a mismatch between what consumers expect and what the law actually does."

We're really not sure what was happening the moment the guys at Hesco Inc. decided to put a Viper crate motor into a mint, 14k original mile, V12 Jaguar XJS, but we're betting it had something to do with mass quantities of booze. They purchased an 8.0L V10 from the Mopar catalog and from the looks of it, leisurely dropped in into the engine bay of the Jag. Some may wonder why you'd do a swap like this, we offer this suggestion – the original 6.0L V12 was a stout unit producing 314 bhp, but the Vipers 8.0L V10 has two less cylinders, over 100 horsepower more and goes like stink, making for one sweet-ass sleeper ride. Now if we could only find our purple suit and matching manatee-leather boots.

Packhouse Receives from Producers
February 24 @ 7:00 am - 3:00 pm
An event every week that begins at 7:00 am on Monday, repeating indefinitely
An event every week that begins at 7:00 am on Wednesday, repeating indefinitely
On Mondays and Wednesdays, Market Mobile producers deliver the items that have been ordered (for Tuesday or Thursday delivery) to our Packhouse, where we store those items overnight in various temperature controlled areas. This makes it easier for local growers to reach a wider range of customers with just one delivery location: our Packhouse.
The following morning, our team aggregates those items per order (in a process we call packline) and delivers the orders to wholesale customers across RI and the Boston-metro area.

Winter Weather Skin Care Tips from The Spa at Ravella
Guest post from The Spa at Ravella located at Ravella at Lake Las Vegas: Cooler weather can lead to dry, flaky skin. Here are two tips from The Spa at Ravella, one for a spa visit and one for at home, to help keep skin soft and supple until warmer weather returns! Next time you splurge on a spa treatment, The Spa at Ravella recommends choosing a facial treatment that uses serums or enzymes. You can talk to a spa professional when booking a treatment and discuss further with your skin therapist once you arrive. Serums provide a powerful dose of nutrients and bioactive ingredients that penetrate deep into the layers of your skin much farther than moisturizers can, and work intensely to bring oil and hydration into balance, strengthen your skin, increase visible firmness and give a youthful glow. Enzymes help slough away dead skin cells and encourage cellular growth, leaving the skin feeling great and looking dewy and bright. For similar results at home, The Spa at Ravella suggests creating a pumpkin enzyme mask – just mix left over pumpkin pulp with an egg, apply to face and let sit for 6 – 8  minutes. Tingling is normal but if feels strong, less time may be needed. Pumpkin is a strong exfoliant that brings the blood to the surface of the skin creating a detoxifying effect. The lecithin from the egg yolk will tighten the skin while the enzymes in the blend will stimulate cellular growth, allowing skin to look its best. In addition to these tips, The Spa at Ravella is offering two seasonally-inspired treatments designed to keep skin in tip-top shape throughout the next few months: Scrumptious Spice Wrap Enjoy this aromatic concoction of fragrant fall spices. Cinnamon and nutmeg are mixed with organic brown sugar and vanilla to gently polish your skin. Relax with a soothing scalp massage while your body is enveloped with deeply hydrating body butter for ultimate smoothness and hydration. 50 minutes…$89 Pure Results Facial This active organic facial uses high performance herbal enzyme peels such as pear fig, pumpkin or sweet cherry to target signs of aging with proven ingredients to deeply repair and hydrate the skin, Ideal for all sin types, including sensitive. 50 minutes…$99 Have you tried their at home treatment? Let us know in the comments!
