Mohawk Debuts New Campaign Supporting Makers and Celebrating the 'Culture of Craft'
Wednesday, July 17, 2013
Press release from the issuing company
Paper manufacturer introduces three new publications enhanced with augmented reality technology
Cohoes, NY – Mohawk, North America's largest privately-owned manufacturer of fine papers, envelopes and specialty substrates for commercial and digital printing, announces a new campaign designed to support an emerging maker culture and three new publications enhanced with additional content made possible through Mohawk Live, Mohawk's new augmented reality mobile app.
In a technological era punctuated with e-mail, smart phones, tablets and texts, Mohawk believes that a new maker culture is emerging. Mohawk is supporting this community of like-minded makers with the introduction of three new publications: The Mohawk Declaration of Craft, Mohawk Craft Cooperative and Mohawk Maker Quarterly. The publications feature the stories of printers, designers, manufacturers, artists, artisans, musicians, and all those who make their living as makers.
Mohawk believes making is the most fundamental expression of the human spirit. The brand's new "Mohawk Maker" campaign and ongoing "What Will You Make Today" campaign speak directly to the heart of this maker community.
What exactly is a 'maker'?
"All you have to do is visit your local farmers' market, an entrepreneurial start-up business, or an experienced fine artisan to witness the maker movement – it's a community of individuals who want a more balanced approach to their lives. They want to be inspired, empowered, and connected to their communities in a more meaningful way," said Bart Robinson, Vice President Marketing, Mohawk.
"Mohawk has taken pride in the art of papermaking for nearly a century. Generations of fine papermakers have honed their craft in our mills in upstate New York, so we are endlessly inspired by the artistry of others and we're proud to support and be a part of this growing movement." said Chris Harrold, Vice President, Business Development and Creative, Mohawk.
The Mohawk Declaration of Craft
The Mohawk Declaration of Craft and an accompanying video communicate Mohawk's longstanding dedication to manufacturing excellence and its entrepreneurial spirit.
The publication speaks to Mohawk's heritage and serves as a manifesto of the brand's beliefs: heritage & innovation, mastery of materials, pride in the details and respect for a community of makers.
The Mohawk Declaration of Craft was designed by Hybrid Design, San Francisco, CA, and printed on Mohawk Superfine Eggshell Ultrawhite 80 cover/216 gsm and 24 writing/90 gsm at O'Neil Printing, in Phoenix, AZ.
The artfully produced publication features a foil stamped and blind embossed cover, partially printed with ProMetal silver type, and smoke grey foil stamp. Cover finishing and binding were completed by Roswell Bookbinding in Phoenix, AZ.
Interior pages showcase the timeless beauty of Mohawk Superfine, with full page images featuring duotones and half pages designed to call out Mohawk's corporate beliefs, standards and values. Half pages are printed in vibrant colors including yellow, light blue, teal, green, orange, pink and black, mirroring the variety of colors which make up the Mohawk brand logo.
The Mohawk Craft Cooperative
The Mohawk Craft Cooperative is a quarterly publication designed to appeal to printers by restoring printers' belief in the power of craftsmanship in the midst of a digital world. The publication features strategies on growing business though craftsmanship, selling print in a digital world, tips on working with the mill, and thoughts from industry leaders.
An eight-page, tabloid-style, fold out brochure, The Mohawk Craft Cooperative features a beautifully designed 27" x 19" poster with a powerful message, "Craft is remembering that art is seen, heard & felt as well as understood, knowing that not all ideas start with words, thinking with hands as well as head."
- Mark Jones, Director, Victoria & Albert Museum
Designed by Hybrid Design, San Francisco, CA; The Mohawk Craft Cooperative is printed on Mohawk Superfine, Eggshell Ultrawhite 65 cover/176gsm; and was printed with eight color UV inks. Letterpress scored and folded by Shapco Printing, Minneapolis, MN.
The Mohawk Maker Quarterly
Mohawk believes that partnership is essential to furthering the interests of makers, and the Mohawk Maker Quarterly is a vehicle to support this community of like-minded individuals. Content focuses on stories of small manufacturers, artisans, printers, designers and artists who are making their way in the midst of the digital revolution.
The inaugural issue of the Mohawk Maker Quarterly focuses on 'Heritage & Innovation' and features the following makers:
The publications are also supported by a video promoting Mohawk Superfine's history, heritage and attributes, while underscoring the importance of craftsmanship and collaboration with the maker community. Watch the video.
The Mohawk Maker Quarterly publication was created to serve as a co-branded publication by printers who are interested in using the content as a sales and promotional tool for their business.
The Mohawk Maker Quarterly was designed by Hybrid Design, San Francisco, CA; printed on Mohawk Superfine, Eggshell Ultrawhite 80 Text/118 gsm. The publication was printed by Shapco Printing, Minneapolis, MN, with seven color UV inks and features a black satin foil stamp, completed by McIntosh Embossing of Minneapolis, MN.
Mohawk Live
All three publications are enhanced with additional content made possible through Mohawk's new augmented reality mobile app, Mohawk Live, which generates interactive experiences via print, making print more relevant than ever.
By scanning the Mohawk Live icon found throughout each publication, readers can enjoy a multidimensional experience with bonus content including videos, photos, and animations. Mohawk Live is free and easy to download in the App Store or Google Play.
The Story of Superfine
The Mohawk Declaration of Craft, Mohawk Craft Cooperative and Mohawk Maker Quarterly publications are all printed on Mohawk Superfine, which has long been celebrated for its quality, consistency and perfect printing surface.
Developed in 1945, Mohawk's iconic, flagship paper grade has become known as the finest uncoated text and cover paper for offset printing, and as the benchmark in fine paper for digital printing. For seven decades, Superfine has endured, inspiring designers, printers, and craftsmen and women with its archival quality and timeless appeal.
No other premium paper works so well on today's leading digital printing presses, which makes Mohawk Superfine ideal for social stationery, wedding invitations, greeting cards, business cards, annual reports, real estate collateral, beautiful coffee table books and other high quality photo products, or digital print projects in which luxurious results are essential.

Unfortunately, the Lady Bisons continued their losing streak with a 7-0 loss to Florida Gulf Coast on Friday, March 19.
The doubles point did not go in the Lady Bisons favor, leaving them at a 1-0 deficit early in the match.
Elizabeth Keevil and Mackenzie Bishop were defeated at the No. 1 spot by Sweeting and Evans 8-2.
The Lady Bisons picked up their solo win at No. 2 doubles. Kara Jackson and Danielle Hansen defeated Rendon and Almeida 8-7 (6) in a tight match coming down to the tiebreaker.
But sadly, Lipscomb fell at No. 3, awarding Florida Gulf Coast the doubles point and an early edge in the match. Julianne McMeen and Carlina Jow fell to Villemond and Sambrano 8-2.
Although the Lady Bisons hoped for better results in singles, they struggled to find a rhythm.
Bishop lost at No. 1, falling to Villemond in a close three set match 1-6, 6-4, 10-6, bringing the Lady Bisons' disadvantage to 2-0.
Keevil was also defeated by Sweeting 6-0, 6-1 at No. 2.
At No. 3, Hansen fell to Rendon 6-1, 6-2, awarding the Eagles with a 4-0 lead, allowing them to clinch the match.
The Lady Bisons did not have any more luck at the bottom of their line up, losing matches at the No. 4, No. 5, and No. 6 positions.
At No. 4, Jackson lost to Narzissenfeld 6-1, 6-4, while Jow was defeated at No. 5 6-2, 6-0 by Almeida.
At No. 6, McMeen fell to Bechtel 6-0, 6-0.
The loss brings Lipscomb's conference record to 0-5 for the season.
The Lady Bisons are back in action Saturday facing another A-Sun conference competitor Stetson University.

Daniel-Day Lewis as Abe Lincoln

And it's actually misnamed; it's really not that much about Lincoln. It's about the months surrounding the passage of the 13th Amendment. Powerful stuff, to be sure, but I was expecting Lincoln's life story--childhood, formative years, the young Lincoln as he got into first law and then politics. The film starts with him already re-elected, already having signed the Emancipation Proclamation, the Civil War is almost over, and the film is basically about how he wants to push through the 13th Amendment even though his supporters tell him not to try it. (The overwhelming belief was that even the Northerners only wanted the war to end, and would not support the Amendment.) Then again, if it were called "Freedom", it would probably make little money.
Daniel Day-Lewis is great, of course, as he always is. He's definitely winning an Oscar. He portrays Lincoln in his last months as weary, slow-moving, almost telegraphing his impending death... and yet, with his occasional anecdotal speeches, displays the persuasive and subversive charm Lincoln had. (And with a few well-timed outburts, displays his passion and power.)

Hey guys,
Thanks for all the reply's.
I spoke with Bob Pratt and he said that some recent italian immigrant in Melbourne made a few of these for him, but he couldn't remember his name. Any ideas anyone?
The frame has campag drop out's, english BB threads, 27.2 seatpost. Fork is chromed with campag dropouts and reynolds stamped on it. Both fork and BB shell have 615 stamped on them. Pretty sure the frame is some sort of resonable steel, it's incredibly light and the tubes are approximately 0.020" and 0.030" thick - maybe reynolds like the fork?
Thanks for all the help and ideas.

I think I just heard the sound of msg's bubble bursting.
I've seen these frames, as pg falk,oria and a manganese tube set as well as thelow end hitension. Specs exist online for all the data comparo. The ops blue frame looks to be a much better quality and desirable frame all round.

Oops yeah, the faux Guerciotti hi-jacked the thread, or was it me?
Agreed, 27.2, campag drops, Reynolds crown, and a "serial number" on both forks and frame suggest reasonable quality. Still no idea who made it though .....

Well, the original owner insists the builder was Italian. Europa/technotrat is a possibility ... they did do some high end bikes. And John Abeni is Eruopa and is Italian. The wrapped seat stay's still throw me though ... never seen an Abeni/Europa with that style unless it was re-stickered (and there were many).
Who knows? Ask if Abeni rings a bell?

Yeah, they're a lot of work, a further indication this is a nice frame. I didn't ever see a Tecnotrat that had this detail (or any really - they were all exactly the same, apart from the occasional tubing and dropout deviations).

Growth model work group gets going
The South Dakota Department of Education has called together teachers, administrators and other experts to help study growth models for use in the states new accountability system.
Last month, the group had its first meeting, and representatives from REL Central gave an overview of seven selected growth models. The seven models being considered for implementation as part of South Dakotas new accountability system are all research-based and have been thoroughly tested in other states. South Dakotas new accountability system includes academic growth as one of the five indicators that make up the School Performance Index at the elementary and middle school levels beginning in the 2014-15 school year.
The seven models the group is considering are:
• The Gain Score growth model describes growth with simple differences of average gains over time.
• The Residual Gain model describes growth as the difference between current status and expected status given past scores.
• The Trajectory model extends gains or average gains in a predictable, usually linear fashion into the future.
• The Categorical model defines growth by transitions among status categories (i.e. Basic, Proficient, Advanced) over time.
• The Projection model uses past scores to predict future scores through regression equations.
• The Student Growth Percentiles model employs a percentile rank of current status in a reference group of students with similar past scores.
• The Multivariate or Value Added model uses entire student score histories, including other subjects and teachers, to direct higher than expected student scores associated with particular teachers.
Several of South Dakotas neighbors are already using one of these growth models. Minnesota uses the Residual Gain model. Colorado is using the Student Growth Percentiles model, and Iowa uses the Categorical model, one of the most popular models being examined by the group.
The group will weigh the pros and cons of each model and whittle down the options at future meetings, according to Abby Javurek-Humig, the departments director of accountability and assessment. The model could then be adapted for use on a school level, so it fits within the accountability system.
The growth model selected by this group will be different from how growth is approached for teacher evaluations.

Tamu's Personalized Abode
Name: Tamu
Location: San Francisco, CA
Tamu's Nursery was finished just in time for him! It quickly became the favorite room in our flat. My inspiration began with a blue-green color palette because the walls were already a grayish blue-green.
I love all of the personal touches: the painting is by my friend and business partner, Erin; the mobile was made by my mom; my husband spray painted the moose wall hooks and sewed the yellow pillow (it is an African fertility doll); and he and I dip-dyed the curtain panels for an ombre effect. There is plenty of art and several gifts from friends and family displayed throughout his little room.
We really thought a lot about the items to display—we live on the cable car line, so he has a little cable car music box we found on eBay. I also included several stuffed animals from my childhood. My favorite item in the room is the ridiculously comfortable glider. We found it on Craigslist, but it was in a drab brown fabric, so we found this ikat and had it recovered. We spend a lot of time in that chair!
Thanks, Christine! Readers, you can see more of Christine at her website Hunter | Welland Design.

"Eminem's autobiographical acting debut in 8 Mile marked the high point of the trickster's relevance." SN No one expected much from the movie. Sure, Eminem was at his peak, but on the surface this looked like a high-profile vanity project. However, the movie made "hip-hop as inspirational as Rocky with Em rapping about the kind of poverty he grew up in – and showing the superhuman rhyme powers that got him out of it." RS'09
If Em's "'Rabbit' character was 8 Mile's Rocky Balboa, then 'Lose Yourself' was the movie's 'Eye of the Tiger.'" PD It is Eminem's "definitive anthem, a vivid, white-knuckle account of the anxiety and self-doubt he grappled with during his earliest forays into performing." MX As Jonathan Bogart writes, this is "the moment when he sounded as urgent and necessary as anyone's ever been." DS He also calls this "the finest postmillennial portrait of the pressures of lower-middle-class life in America." DS
"The cinema-ready piano intro" CS suggests "how epic this song is going to be," CS but the listener is still unprepared for "the force unleashed when Mr. Mathers begins rhyming over a head-nodding guitar riff." CS "This anthem captured the raw intensity and emotion that comes with performing" BX and may be "the most lyrically complex hip-hop song to ever hit #1 on the pop charts" PD with Eminem "tongue-twisting his way through a variety of internal rhyme schemes." PD
While Eminem had landed three #1's in the UK, "Lose Yourself" marked his first trip to the top of the U.S. charts. With a dozen weeks in the pole position, "the tense, grunge-y" SN track became the longest-running #1 rap song on the Billboard Hot 100 AB'00 and has been called the most popular rap song in history. SS
- one of the top 100 song of the 21st century

The magazine article says, "Much has changed in the four years since Colin Kaepernick was last on the cover of GQ. Back then he was a rippling superhero of a quarterback on the rise. But a simple act—kneeling during the national anthem—changed everything. It cost him his job. It also transformed Colin Kaepernick into a lightning rod and a powerful symbol of activism and resistance."

DOVER — Eight-year-old Woodman Park School third-grader Caleb Lapene said it was his grandmother who inspired his in-progress invention, The Socker.
"My grandma said, 'I can't bend down to put my socks on,' so I said I could make something to help with that," he explained, while working diligently last Wednesday afternoon as one of the 112 Young Inventors at WPS.
The program is running for the first time at the school and is open to all grade levels.
The group was meeting for the third time and had the more than 100 students abuzz with creativity, inspiration and a desire for problem solving.
Young Inventors is a statewide program that gives students a chance to create all sorts of inventions, according to third-grade teacher Keegan Coderre, one of the program advisers.
Young Inventors takes students through the whole invention process from asking questions to identifying a problem to planning, creating, and improving on ideas they have generated, sometimes as a group or duo or on their own.
Dover High School students volunteer with the group as mentors, helping encourage the younger children to continue later education in STEM courses, the popular acronym for studies in science, technology, engineering and mathematics.
Senior Alex Chouinard said he was asked if he wanted to help out and thought it would be a great way to give back and get involved in the community.
He said the more encouragement the students get at a younger age, the more of a head start they will have as they move forward through the educational system.
Alix Ecker, a sophomore, said it was some friends of hers that went through the engineering program — part of the Career Technical Center at the high school — who had told her how much they liked it, inspiring her to join.
She volunteers now with WPS students in hopes of doing the same for them.
"I think it's really cool to help the little kids," she said.
Like Coderre and the other group advisers, Wendy Nasberg ane Kiley Hemphill, Ecker wants the students to learn how much fun inventing can be.
Sharing their questions, plans, challenges and progress, the large group separates into smaller groups where students bounce ideas off each other.
Julia Cals, 9, and Miller McCoy, 8, two best friends who finished each other's excited sentences and were even born at the same hospital, said they were working on their invention together to create webbed swimming gloves.
"I thought about this long before Young Inventors," Julia said. "They're kind of like flippers, but for your hands.
The gloves, they explained, are for people who don't know how to swim with the hope that having webbed hands will make the skill easier to learn.
Miller said they were planning on going to Goodwill after school to buy swimsuits they can use for material to make the gloves.
Once they are made, they plan to test the gloves out in the pool at The Works.
Each student keeps a Young Inventors journal where their ideas about the invention are recorded and expanded on.
Jordan Miller, 8, was working in his journal Wednesday to plan for a sonar microchip that would emit a signal through the air intended to help locate a lost remote control.
Jordan said he loses the remote a lot.
Seamus Coyne, 8, worked nearby on a similar remote control locating device, but one that used a camera to scan a room for the misplaced remote.
And if there's a room in the house where a pet is unwanted, Todd Giles, 9, took a suggestion from his friend, Jordan, creating something that would emit smoke, a known deterrent to animals like dogs according to Jordan.
"I love it," Jordan said of the Young Inventors group. "I think it's going to help with my [remote control] problem."
"I think it's going to help with a lot of problems," Seamus answered.
The Young Inventors will each work on their actual projects outside of the classroom and then bring them to school on March 5 for a community celebration and judging. Students must show their inventions and explain what they do and how they made them, as well as answer questions from judges. The top scorers will go to a state competition in Concord, Coderre said.

All of those Super Bowl TV sales are not really in vain. According to a new survey by the website TechBargains.com, people are actually looking to buy something big before the Big Game on February 5.
About one in four shoppers plan to buy a new HDTV in time for Super Bowl Sunday, says the company's annual Television Super Bowl Survey. About 63 percent of those consumers also say that they will spend a little more this time around. However, even more surprising is that many of those shoppers just upgraded last season.
Of the people that bought a new HDTV for last year's game, 30 percent said that they will buy again this year, with another 28 percent considering that purchase.
"When it comes to the Super Bowl, consumers aren't fazed by an unstable economy," said Yung Trang, president and editor-in-chief of TechBargains.com. "They believe the best Super Bowl experience is at home, on a tricked-out TV system. Consumers still want the latest and greatest products, featuring the newest technology and they're more than willing to spend the money on items that boost their enjoyment of the game."
Super Bowl Sunday is one of the biggest TV events of the year. Of course, not everyone can make it to the Big Game. Apparently, many don't even want to, with 59 percent of those surveyed saying they would prefer to watch it at home versus in the stands. Maybe that's why TV is so important, with 72 percent of football fans saying that the size of the TV definitely impacts that overall viewing experience.
A few other tidbits in the survey state:
- 13 percent plan to spend less than $500.
- 40 percent currently own a TV that's 40 to 49 inches.
- 45 percent currently own LCD.
- 53 percent of shoppers want an LED HDTV.
- 67 percent plan to buy online.

The Ridiculous History Of The Job And Dollar Loss Numbers Cited By IP Proponents
from the pulled-out-of-nowhere dept
The 750,000 job number actually dates back to 1986, when then-Commerce Secretary Malcom Baldridge, in promoting a stronger copyright bill from the Reagan era, mentioned to a newspaper reporter that infringement cost anywhere from 125,000 to 750,000 jobs. That quickly morphed into "up to 750,000 jobs" and eventually just became "750,000 jobs" with no actual backing data. It's almost surprising that the industry hasn't tried to expand that number since, surely, infringement has become a bigger issue in the intervening 22 years. Of course, doing that might require actual proof, of which there is none, so that might present a problem.
As for the $250 billion, well, that's even weaker. It's gone through a number of versions of the game "telephone," and while it's often attributed to the FBI, they don't do studies like that. Instead, Sanchez eventually tracked it down to a brief aside in a 1993 Forbes article, where it wasn't even talking about losses in the US. Hell, it wasn't even talking about losses. It was talking about the size of the counterfeit market (which, as you know, does not equal losses) in the world. But, the number has been passed around over and over again -- and has been included in various government publications, so the industry (and politicians) take it as fact.

NEW YORK — Tony Stinkmetal, a many-tattooed East Village artist and a fixture at the Artists and Fleas craft bazaar in Brooklyn, would not strike most people as a Martha Stewart devotee.
NEW YORK — Tony Stinkmetal, a many-tattooed East Village artist and a fixture at the Artists and Fleas craft bazaar in Brooklyn, would not strike most people as a Martha Stewart devotee.
But after his business partner, Keith Bishop, watched a 5 a.m. rerun of a Martha Stewart program on how to turn a castoff men's jacket into a throw blanket, he decided to make a similar blanket from discarded Star Wars sheets. From that first blanket, the two men developed Golly NYC, a brand of T-shirts and lamps created from vintage children's sheets (depicting cartoons or superheroes) inspired by Stewart's emphasis on craftsmanship and perfectionism.
"The truth is, in my own little Alphabet City tattooed way, I'm uptight too and I like to do things right," said Stinkmetal, who changed his name from Michilini for professional reasons.
Stewart's company, Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia, has faced some difficult blows lately — substantial financial losses, and layoffs and cutbacks at its magazines and television programs. But Stewart, the 71-year-old founder, has emerged as something of a patron saint for entrepreneurial hipsters, 20- and 30-somethings who, in a post-recessionary world, have begun their own pickling, cupcake and letterpress businesses and are selling crafty goods on sites like Etsy.com.
Pilar Guzman, the editor-in-chief of Martha Stewart Living magazine, said the magazine's readership had become "the intersection between Colonial Williamsburg and Williamsburg, Brooklyn."
Many of these newer fans are even skipping the print magazine entirely. MarthaStewart.com, the company's primary website, counted a 40 percent jump in traffic among 18- to 34-year-olds every month, year over year, since January.
The number of women in that same age group who watched Martha Stewart videos rose 172 percent in the past six months, compared with a decline of 10.5 percent for all Internet users, according to comScore data.
This same demographic of women who viewed Martha Stewart content on smartphones grew 168.3 percent in the past six months, compared with an increase of 14 percent for all Internet users.
In and around the trendy Williamsburg neighborhood of Brooklyn, Martha Stewart has spawned meet-up groups for people who want to work on crafting, blog items about her sighting at the Brooklyn Bowl rock club, sales of her books at the Brooklyn Kitchen cook shop and decorative displays in the shop window of Urban Rustic, a market and cafe. Beyond Williamsburg, Stewart has drawn crafting and baking fans from Saratoga Springs to San Francisco who have made MarthaStewart.com the most-shared site among its competitors on the social service Pinterest.
While some Martha Stewart fans abandoned their magazine subscriptions and Stewart's high-thread-count sheets after she went to prison over her 2004 conviction for lying to federal investigators about a stock sale, this new generation of Martha Stewart fans say her prison time only gives her more street credibility.
"She's such a Suzy homemaker and also did some time in the joint," said Luis Illades, an owner of Urban Rustic, where some of Stewart's store-bought decorations appeared. "That has helped cement her iconic image. Before, she was someone your mother would follow."
Crystal Sloane, 28, who grew up on a dairy farm outside Saratoga Springs, N.Y., reading her mother's issues of Martha Stewart Living, has begun her own business called "Vintage by Crystal," designing miniature animals that Stewart eventually featured on "The Martha Stewart Show."
"She's like the Jesus of the craft world," she said. "Not that I like criminals, but I heard that she just took some bad advice. Anybody can make mistakes."
Stewart has responded to this growing fan base by featuring more of these entrepreneurs in her magazine, like the custom Maniac Pumpkin Carvers from Brooklyn and the Bee Man Candle Co. from Canastota, N.Y. Last month, she hosted a conference at Grand Central Terminal called American Made to honor young entrepreneurs, and she sponsored a contest for students from the School of Visual Arts to promote their businesses.
The winner, a portable pierogi stand, received a $5,000 cash prize and one year of mentoring from her company's chief executive, Lisa Gersh. Stewart also collaborated on the event with Etsy, the e-commerce site for craft entrepreneurs, and invited its artisans to sell wares at her conference.
"I hope that I'm a teacher and encourager and mentor," Stewart said about her relationships with these younger fans. "Small businesses need boosting."
David Bank, an equity research analyst with RBC Capital Markets, compares Stewart's business with that of Hugh Hefner, who was able to revive the popularity of Playboy with younger readers. "Is she like the hipster women's Hef?" asked Bank. "It defines an entirely new audience with a new life cycle."
Despite all of this encouraging news, Stewart's company still has not figured out how to make these loyal fans lift her company out of its deep financial troubles, no matter how many costs are cut.
In advance of its third-quarter earnings, Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia announced that it would cut back two of its four magazines and lay off about 70 employees, or 12 percent of the nearly 600-person company.
This year, the company cut $12.5 million in broadcasting costs by not renewing its daily programming deal with the Hallmark Channel, breaking its lease on its television production studio and ending its live audience for "The Martha Stewart Show." Bank said that the company must figure out how to sell to the trendy, not just inspire them.
"The real opportunity is, 'Will they go to Macy's or J.C. Penney and buy her bedsheets and her flatware? You've got to use flatware, even in Williamsburg. That's where the money is really made," Bank said. "Who cares if she's popular if you can't monetize it?"
Julia B. Farill, owner of the letterpress company Red Bird Ink who was selling her stationery at Stewart's conference last month, said that while women of Stewart's generation, like Hillary Rodham Clinton and Madeleine Albright, have succeeded in the public sector, Stewart was one of the few successful businesswomen of her time.
"She's an example of a strong woman who has done amazing things with her life. That's kind of rare for her generation," Farill said.
But there's still a gap between Stewart and her younger, tattooed, craft-loving crowd. When asked about whether she would ever share her fans' love of tattoos — some even have tattoos depicting Stewart — she bristled at the suggestion and warned how bad they look as people grow older.
"I'm not a big fan of tattoos," she said. "I don't think they have to go quite that far. They could put embroidery on their jacket. They could silk-screen a T-shirt."

This story appears in the December 2011 issue of National Geographic magazine.
Looming near the mighty sweep of the southern Milky Way, the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds resemble detached pieces of our galaxy. Astronomers once assumed they had always orbited the Milky Way at approximately their current distances, like the other, lesser satellite galaxies in the Milky Way's gravitational thrall. But new evidence suggests that the Magellanic Clouds have instead spent most of their careers farther away and are currently experiencing a rare close encounter with our galaxy. If so, we may be witnessing the onset of an intergalactic pas de trois—a dance of the sort that can shatter the composure of galaxies, forging billions of new stars and planets while flinging others into the depths of space.
With the clarity of hindsight, astronomers can now make sense of conspicuous clues that suggested a more regal status for the clouds all along.
For one thing, the clouds are much brighter than our galaxy's other satellites—bright enough to have captured the attention of naked-eye observers like Ferdinand Magellan's chronicler, Antonio Pigafetta, who remarked upon the "many small stars congregated together." They're bright because they're close by and contain lots of stars. The Milky Way's known satellites harbor up to ten million stars each. The Small Magellanic Cloud holds some three billion stars, and the Large Cloud perhaps 30 billion.
For another, the clouds don't look like the disheveled spheroidal dwarf galaxies that closely orbit the Milky Way and other major spirals. More likely, they're previously distant galaxies that have only recently ventured close enough to our galaxy to be perturbed by its gravitational field. Prior to its gambol with the Milky Way, the Large Magellanic Cloud may even have been a classic spiral like the Triangulum galaxy, M33, which looks imposing but is actually not much more massive than the Large Cloud.
In 2006 a team of astronomers using the Hubble Space Telescope measured the motion of the Magellanic Clouds by clocking them against background quasars, which lie billions of light-years beyond and so approximate a static background in a universe where nothing really stands still. These measurements suggest the clouds are pursuing lanky, eccentric orbits that would have brought them into proximity with our galaxy only one time previously since the universe began.
The notion that the clouds have passed our way just once before gains support from the fact that both still contain ample amounts of gas from which to make new stars. Satellites that orbit close to major galaxies eventually forfeit their interstellar gas to the greater galaxy. Unable to fashion new stars, these satellites evolve into celestial retirement communities, inhabited by bald old stars and little else. In time, many of the spheroidal dwarfs circling the Milky Way will likely be cannibalized by it, as others like them have been in the past.
In contrast, astronomers have found that the Small Cloud is still making new stars in bursts, some within just the past few hundred million years. The Large Cloud, for its part, is a star-making factory, full of freshly minted star clusters and the soap-bubble skins shed by hot young stars that have exploded. Conspicuous in the Large Cloud is the glowing red Tarantula Nebula, a gigantic star-forming region that lies 160,000 light-years from Earth but shines so brightly that when observed through a big observatory telescope, its light pours out of the eyepiece like a flashlight beam.
The Tarantula's ruddy glow comes from what astronomers call excited hydrogen gas. The gas is excited by powerful light from giant stars burning furiously enough to deplete their nuclear fuel within only millions of years, rather than the billions of years it takes more modest stars like our sun. They then explode, as supernovae. When a blue giant star in the Tarantula region went supernova, seen on the night of February 23, 1987, it captured the attention of astronomers worldwide. They've been observing its remnants ever since.
The Milky Way and the Magellanic Clouds appear destined to see a lot more of one another in the eons ahead. Will their dynamic dance eventually result in a merger? Or will the clouds just come and go, spending their careers as a quiet, composed couple that comes downtown for a star-making binge every couple of billion years? Nobody will live long enough to witness the fate of these galaxies, but sooner or later scientists should be able to learn their dance steps, and to catch faint echoes of the music.

Canal Winchester High School football coach Shawn Hinkle is optimistic that his team's spread offense will fare better against Marion-Franklin in the teams' second meeting this season than it did in the first.
Canal Winchester High School football coach Shawn Hinkle is optimistic that his team's spread offense will fare better against Marion-Franklin in the teams' second meeting this season than it did in the first.
The Indians and Red Devils meet in a Division II, Region 7 semifinal on Friday, Nov. 9, at Hamilton Township. Marion-Franklin won 28-3 on Sept. 7 at home, outgaining the Indians 372-88 in total yards.
Canal Winchester rushed for only 16 yards on 25 carries and quarterback Isaac Pifer was just 2-for-14 passing for 61 yards in that contest. However, the Indians played without one of their two top running backs in John Franklin, who missed the contest with an injury. Franklin, who has 867 yards rushing and 10 touchdowns, returned to the lineup the next game and the Indians haven't lost since.
Seeded seventh in the region, Canal Winchester extended its winning streak to eight games with a 21-16 win at second-seeded Zanesville on Nov. 2 to improve to 9-2. Franklin rushed for 86 yards and a touchdown on 23 carries and running back Jaquan Ransome ran for 77 yards and two touchdowns on 20 carries.
Marion-Franklin, the third seed, rolled to a 46-14 win over sixth-seeded Licking Heights in its playoff opener Nov. 2 to improve to 10-1.
The semifinal winner will play top-seeded Dresden Tri-Valley (11-0) or fourth-seeded New Albany (9-2) in the regional final Nov. 16 at a site to be determined.
"Our kids have progressed and we're a much better team than we were in week three," Hinkle said. "Our quarterback and wide receivers are a lot better than they were then, and having our 220-pound tailback (Franklin) healthy for this game should help, too. I'm sure that Marion-Franklin has improved since then, too, so it will be interesting to see which team has improved more."
Pifer steadily has improved his accuracy, according to Hinkle, and Ransome has rushed for 1,029 yards and 16 touchdowns to give the Indians' running game a solid one-two punch.
Hinkle said the Indians will need to keep the Red Devils' defense off balance in order to be more effective than they were in the first meeting.
Marion-Franklin's defense, which has forced 24 turnovers, is led by lineman Shevone Hairston (6 sacks), back Jhulyis Monroe (4 sacks) and linebackers Thomas James (1 interception, 2 fumble recoveries) and Alijahwon Tarvin (2 interceptions, 1 fumble recovery).
"Defensively, they're very big up front and they're solid everywhere," Hinkle said. "This time around, we have to control the football with sustained drives. We did a horrible job of that the last time we played Marion-Franklin, but our entire offense has improved since then."
Nose guard DeOntaye Cosby said the Indians' 3-5 defense needs to put pressure on Red Devils quarterback Corry Benson, who has completed 58 of 115 passes for 987 yards with 11 touchdowns and three interceptions and has rushed for 526 yards and seven scores on 110 carries.
After being hampered by a shoulder injury for part of the season, Benson shined against Licking Heights, completing 26 of 30 passes for 366 yards and two touchdowns and rushing for 111 yards and four touchdowns on 15 carries.
Benson's targets include wide receivers Jaron Dukes (26 receptions, 387 yards, 7 touchdowns), Darien Williams (17 catches, 393 yards, 7 touchdowns) and Landon Yeartie (12 catches, 216 yards, 3 touchdowns).
Running back Joe Alverson is the Red Devils' leading rusher with 574 yards and seven touchdowns on 62 carries.
In the teams' first meeting, Benson completed 13 of 26 passes for 222 yards and three touchdowns and rushed for 71 yards and a touchdown on 18 carries. Dukes had six catches for 92 yards and a score and Yeartie had five catches for 105 yards and two touchdowns.
Against Zanesville, Cosby had three sacks, four tackles for loss and forced a fumble, as Canal Winchester forced three turnovers.
The win over the Blue Devils was just the second in eight playoff games for the Indians, who defeated Germantown Valley View 17-16 in the first round of the Division III, Region 12 playoffs in 2007.
"It feels great to finally win another playoff game because we've all worked hard for it," Cosby said.
Leading Canal Winchester's defense in the first meeting with Marion-Franklin were linebacker Nick Toledo (9 tackles), Cosby (8 tackles) and linebacker Lamont Martin (7 tackles, 1 sack).
"Benson is the best dual-threat quarterback we've seen all year," Hinkle said. "He's elusive and he can run as well as he throws, but we need to put pressure on him. We shut them out in the first half the last time we played them, but our offense didn't have the ball very long and we got worn down in the fourth quarter. As long as our offense performs well and gives us enough rest, I think we'll play well on defense, too."

Urban Forestry within the City's Parks Department is responsible for the planting, care, pruning and removal of all trees on Markham property.
Requests for boulevard trees received by March 31 are planted in spring and early summer. Requests received by July 31 are planted in the fall and early winter, weather and supply permitting.
Markham trees are pruned on an ongoing block pruning program. Trees deemed by Markham arborists as a "hazard" are pruned or removed immediately.
A little extra care will go a long way.
Trees planned for new developments and parklands are coordinated through the City.
The Trees for Tomorrow Streetscape Manual [PDF] is a significant resource tool for developers, contractors, residents and staff. It outlines design and technical guidelines, and identifies selected tree species suitable for new developments.
Trees and all other vegetation within natural areas contribute to the natural ecosystem. Forested areas including the underbush and fallen trees decay naturally, and provide organic material and protection to the forest floor. They also provide a natural habitat and environment for animals, birds and insects. Unless there is a danger to the public, natural areas are left undisturbed. We encourage the community to adopt these areas and help to keep them clean of garbage.

- Logo should be appropriate for both tree nursery business and christmas tree business.Â
- The Christmas tree business is the most important area of the business, so we would like something that signifies an evergreen tree. The target audience is both families who pick out Christmas trees, and wholesalers who ship the trees across the country.Â
- The nursery business is primarily oak, birch, poplar, and some evergreens, and the target audience is local landscapers and families with new homes that need landscaping. We'd like to incorporate a nursery tree into the logo also, but we realize a young tree may also look like a dead tree. :) Maybe a robust tree instead?  Whatever you think looks best, we're definitely open to suggestion!
- Because the logo will be used in communications to both consumer audiences and business audiences, its graphics and fonts should look neither too "industrial" nor too "personal". We realize this may be a challenge!
- Our business is well known for being experts in trees, especially evergreens. And that we have very high-quality trees. Our company goes back three generations.Â
- This logo will be used on everything - signage, print ads, the sides of vehicles, the website, to shirts and jackets, etc.Â

Judge Slams Righthaven's Legal Tactics, Unseals Document That May Undermine All Righthaven Cases
from the and-there's-that... dept
Last fall, the EFF jumped in on one of the cases -- against the website Democratic Underground -- and countersued both Righthaven and Stephens Media. Part of the EFF's argument was that the copyright assignment to Righthaven was a sham. It noted that even after the assignment, the LVRJ still showed the articles on its own site with "Copyright © Las Vegas Review-Journal."
A couple of very interesting things quickly happened. First, Righthaven and Stephens Media tried to drop the case saying it no longer wanted to sue Democratic Underground. It seemed clear that it didn't want to deal with what was coming next. Thankfully, the case is still ongoing, and recently news started spreading that the EFF, in the process of discovery, had come across a piece of evidence that would blow Righthaven out of the water... but that it couldn't reveal that evidence because it was under seal.
Well... no more. First up, the judge in the case unsealed the EFF's filing with a blistering critique against Righthaven. You really need to read the whole thing below, because it misses no opportunity to slam Righthaven, especially for Righthaven's attacks on the EFF lawyers, and a claim that the EFF was underhanded in how it filed the documents in question, because certain aspects weren't standard, but the Court points out that their only complaint appears to be that they didn't read the filing in question, and are now blaming others for that:
Righthaven and Stephens Media accuse Defendants of being underhanded by proposing a 14-day response period in the Court's Order permitting the filing under seal. There was nothing underhanded done at all. The proposed order was filed. The Court's Order also served on Righthaven and Stephens Media. Unless they confess to not reading, or ignoring, the Court's Order, their lament is not persuasive.It appears the court was just warming up, because then the judge comes out with the following, beautiful, condemnation of Righthaven's legal filing practice:
Righthaven and Stephens Media also accuse Defendants' counsel (who, they make a point of reminding the Court, are from out-of-town) of disingenuous gamemanship. They demand the Court issue an Order to Show Cause why Defendants should not be held in contempt for violating the Protective Order. It is this demand that is disingenuous. This Court entered the Protective Order. This Court certainly has the authority to modify its procedures as it sees fit, which it did in establishing provision for the filing of Supplemental Memorandum, because of the lateness of the disclosure by Righthaven and Stephens Media, and the potential imminent decision on the Motion to Dismiss and the Motion for Summary Judgment.
The use of phrases, in the Motion to Strike, such as "underhanded," "a ruse," "blatantly ignored," "brazen attempt," "fumbling attempt," "purposefully muddle," and "Defendants' complaint reeks of hypocrisy," is a very unprofessional attempt to attack counsel rather than address the issues. There is an old adage in the law that, if the facts are on your side, you pound the facts. If the law is on your side, you pound the law. If neither the facts nor the law is on your side, you pound the table. It appears there is a lot of table pounding going on here.Later, the court "confesses" that initially it was sympathetic to Righthaven's request that the new evidence not be unsealed, but then changed its mind in part due to the actions and statements of Righthaven. It really is a fantastic read, which you can see embedded below.
Of course, that's only half of this story. What was then unsealed in the document is even more damaging and may undermine most, if not all, of Righthaven's cases. However, this post is long enough, and that's a separate part of the story, so stay tuned for the very next post, in which we cover what's in the now unsealed document...

by Matt from Northeastern PA on Thu Dec 23 2010
My Explorer, which I bought used as a winter vehicle, is a 4-door 4x4 XLT and has 130k miles. It has the optional sunroof a 4-speed auto. Comfort: I'm in my early 20's with no health problems so the front seats suit me just fine. Rear seating was top of the class when new although lack of headrests may bring complaints. It is a truck so the ride can get bouncy and jarring on moderately bumpy to rough roads. On normal highways, it does ride smoother than expected. Performance: The 4.0 Cologne was has decent HP but this is a heavy truck so acceleration is adequate at best. Hill climbing causes the motor to lose steam unless the pedal is near the floor. Highway merging should also be taken with caution. I filled from the backs of the front seats to the tailgate full of logs, which were piled up to the ceiling. It was slow going but it did it without complaint. Fuel mileage was better than I expected. Typically, I get around 16-18MPG unless loaded up or in 4WD. Handling is fine for what it is. Obviously, don't expect to corner like a sports car. This truck is great in the snow even with all season Cooper Discoverer HTs. Only got it stuck once and that was in 2 1/2 feet of snow. Mine has the push button 4WD system but with aftermarket manual locking hubs. It can be a pain to have to get out of the truck to lock them but they are more reliable and much cheaper to replace than the automatic lockers. Exterior Styling: Styling is subjective but it has rugged good looks. IMO, each generation of Explorer got uglier. The paint is fading and the clear coat is peeling off in spots but it is 17 years old after all. Mine has no body or frame rot but that isn't typical of older Explorers found where it snows. Make sure you inspect the truck thoroughly. Interior Design: I think the dash is logically laid out with everything in easy reach. There is plenty of cheap plastic but that's typical of an early 90's SUV. Everything works except for the AC and rear washer (wiper works). Heater is fantastic in mine... heats up just as quick as my 07 Cobalt. The sunroof is manual so it can be a pain to remove/install. Basically, I use mine like a skylight. Cargo room is cavernous and the rear seat folds in two separate sections. I fit 40 full-size desktop PCs in back with room to spare. Factory speakers suck so I replaced them with Pioneers and also added an aftermarket CD player (who wants a Cassette player, anyway?). Value: Typically, I have seen Explorers like mine go for $3-$4k but I got mine 2 years ago for $2300 so I would say it was definitely worth the money. Replacement parts are generally pretty cheap and a lot of work can be done at home. Reliability: My Explorer has been reliable so far and Explorers generally are with the big issues being the automatic transmissions and auto-locking hubs. Aside from normal maintenance (tires, oil changes, etc.) this is what I had to replace: 2 oxygen sensors, MAF sensor, EGR pressure sensor, ball joints, tie rods and an AC compressor clutch. Not bad for an older truck. Overall I would recommend an Explorer to anyone looking for a cheap, reliable 4x4. I also recommend giving one a thorough test drive to make sure the transmission and 4WD work correctly. Also, watch for rot typically found on the rocker panels which are hidden by plastic on most Explorers.

How well does pluto coexist with other services running on the server? I currently have IMAP, webmail and a samba fileshare running on my home server: will pluto affect these?
Can the media directors be set up to switch between video outputs? In my living room I have a sony crt tv and a dlp projector. I'd like to be able to switch between these at the push of a button on the orbiter (with the tv fed from TV out of the video card and the projector fed via DVI). The other option is to have tv out only and use my av receiver as a video switch but this gives poor quality on the projector compared to dvi.
Where is the best place to buy a webpad for use as an orbiter? I've a had a look online and not many places seem to sell them, are any models particularly recommended?
At present can pluto be set up to respond to an alarm set/unset event? I'd like pluto to set the house themostats to 18C and turn off all the lights when the house alarm is set.

My little three year old blenheim boy was diagnosed with mild SM when he was just a year old. He was rubbing, scratching his ears, hiding and fearful. I believed he was hard of hearing but I knew he could hear some sounds. Oh, I got him from a breeder at 6 months.
He was on gabapentin but I didn't see any difference in his behavior. Sometimes he would jump as if something stuck him and run and hid under the couch or chair. He would not come out even if I offered him a treat but I also noticed that he did not respond to his name or to basically anything.
He learned some hand signals but is petrified of anyone he does not know, children and other dogs. He will lie there and screem. I've had him to my regular vet who knows little to nothing about SM or PSOM. I suspect he has PSOM as he gags, yawns, gulps when swallowing as if his ears are clogged and scratches his ears constantly.
My vet checked him again yesterday and found no yeast or infection in his ears and no infection in his throat although he has very enlarged tonsils and lots of foam behind his throat. She says his eardrums are no longer shiny but dull. I'm taking him to a canine dermatologist Monday. They treat PSOM and check the ear with a scope. If it's found they do a small cut in each eardrum and suck out the glue like stuff clogged in the inner ear. I'm hoping that is what it is and after the procedure he might be able to hear.
Has anyone dealt with PSOM and if so has the treatment been successful. I feel so sorry for my little guy becaus I know that if you can't hear, your ears are clogged and you have problems swollowing you are really uncomfortable but he never cries out. He is so very stoic.

Online police report.
I walked outside this morning to go to work to find my car window broken out. What bothers me the most is one, there was nothing to steal it was empty and the radio stolen last month. Two it was unlocked because it's a pos 89 broken locks... Need I say more?. Window broken car unlocked the whole time nothing stolen, being the second time in two months I figured maybe get a report for the insurance in case something else happens ill have records. My city dept. says they do reports online with no suspect info, is this commonplace now? Are they reviewed by anyone or just filed digitally?
My hopes by reporting is the an officer may pass by from time to time I am now growing concerned about my home. I am leery of my neighbors now, they socialize with each other more than I do with them. Being my vehicle was the only vehicle on the whole street touched I have a bad feeling something just feels bad. I don't want to pass judgement on people but I have a bad feeling.
When I fill the report is there anything that may come of it? Should I bother or just replace the glass and continue saving to move? Thanks for any advice.
The squeeky wheel gets the grease. Report it even if it just online. You have to understand that because of budget cuts, most departments allocate the limited resources where they are needed most. Since a broken window is a low priority, most departments will not send an officer out to take a report. You may have to come to the station or file one online.
The reason why you should file it is that most departments are keeping statistics about crimes that are being used to allocate those limited resources. If their is a spike of vehicle break insin your area, the watch seargent may increase the patrols in that area. The squeeky wheel...
If no one reports anything, then in the eyes of the department, their is no crime and resources can be sent somewhere else (no grease).
Good luck
Someone pried the lock out of the door on my Mustang to get in (wish they would have broke a window instead) and took nothing. Couple Weeks later they got in my Escort and got off with a flashlight,clean change of clothes, and a flask. They left a bag of tools, car parts, couple dollars I had in the glove box though. I filled out an online report for that and never heard anything. Last weekend woke up to my neighbors car sitting on 2 flat tires and the exhaust cut up from them trying to get the cat. Modesto P.D. Semt a community resource officer when they called.
That sucks. Same thing happened to me twice
File the report anyways. Most police departments keep track of statistics and crime trends. If they start seeing a continuous problem in an area, they usually increase patrols or have special teams start working the area to catch bad guys.
Online reports bother me because untrained citizens really are not qualified to determine if a crime has actually been committed and also are not familiar with crime elements. Also, this makes it easier for someone to pull insurance scams if they wanted to. Finally, when people call the police for help, they expect to get a live, breathing police officer.
I have been to quite a few calls where someone alleges a certain type of crime has been committed, but upon further investigation, it is either something completely different or not a crime at all.
On the flip side, it might shorten response times for more important calls for service. Certain departments have such horrible response times, it is a wonder they ever catch crooks.

I never thought of the false report spin on it. I did figure the budget poses a problem, and an 89 Honda missing a stereo one week and a broken window another isn't a top priority. Insurance fraud definitely isn't my motive, my deductible is more than the car
Thanks for the responses.

This issue, we had a chance to sit down with the down-to-earth but out-of-this-world-gorgeous Melissa Reign. What surprised us most is how easy this hottie was to talk to and hang out with during our photoshoot. No wonder she's got legions of adoring fans, I guess all we can do is take a number and get in line.
