One of my students texted me last night. His ride, back to campus, from the Sioux Falls, SD airport fell through. He wanted to know if I would pick him up. Sure...why not? I asked him before he left for Thanksgiving break what he was most looking forward to when he got back to Texas. He said, 'my mama's cookin'. She's gonna have greens and neck bones waitin' for me! I can already smell it - greens and neck bones..." Then he got rather dreamy eyed and unfocused.
I love hearing stories from the students...what is the first thing they plan on doing...what food do they miss the most...what family activity are they most looking forward to...are they going to get all their homework done while on break...!
I have to leave soon for the drive to Sioux Falls but want to post this card that I put together early this morning. It is another one for the Jennie series. Every year I make cards for daughter Amy's BFF (since grade school). Amy and Jennie have weathered middle school, high school, undergraduate school, graduate school, Amy's Hodgkin's Lymphoma, trans-continental travels, California, and everything else that life tosses in the air. I look forward to Jennie's annual request because it reminds me that she is really part of our family not just Amy's friend.
Upon further reflection - this card could end up in the sister Gail pile...she is crazy for penguins. 'Penguinies' as we call them (an homage to friend Mary Lee's granddaughter moniker for penguins). I will just make another card for Jennie if Gail lays claim to this one.
Hooray for Penguinies!
~Base card - PaperTrey Ink Ocean Tides
~Scrap of Kaleidoscope design paper - stripes laid vertically
~Smaller scrap of same design paper attached to PaperTrey Ink Ocean Tides scrap - using stripes horizontally
~MelJen's Design freebie image laser printed on Papertemptress Cryogen White (having a sale - best cardstock ever for Copics - but could possibly win an award for worst website ever...but who cares! I love the paper!) Image colored with Copics - bling and glitter enhancements. White cardstock attached to more Ocean Tides - edges of both curved using curve punch.
~Grosgrain ribbon
~Three buttons - attached with glitter glue
Card Patterns - sketch
Dutch Dare - recipe: ribbon, embellishment, layers, image, design paper
Sarah Hurley - buttons
Craft Your Days Away - buttons or bows
Lilypad - button
I'm now on my way to South Dakota. Can't wait to hear all the details of Dillian's Thanksgiving break and time with family and friends. (Don't tell him but I hope he doesn't bring me any greens and neck bones!).
Thanks for clicking by,

Whether it's user research, nailing down business requirements, or just figuring out where the team wants to go for lunch, directly asking for the answer you need rarely gets you an answer. Brains aren't computers. They don't run Google searches.
- "Where do you want to eat for lunch today?" vs. "Does Chinese sound good?"
- "How urgent is this assigment?" vs. "Is anyone going to die or get fired if this isn't done by the end of the week?"
- "What would get you to upgrade to the latest version?" vs. "What's the one thing you wish this product could do?"
Asking good questions is a skill I would attribute to many of the sharpest and most composed people I know. It's valuable in business and social situations alike. I'm not great at it yet, but I'm definitely working on it.

Writing for Bass Musician Magazine, Nashville-based bassist Ty Campbell got to be the first person to review the new LTD Signature Series Marco Mendoza MM-4FM, and we get the idea that he liked it.
"A beauty of a bass to look at, very eye-appealing, and extremely ear-appealing! I'm not sure if a bass can play itself, but right from the time I picked it up, it sure felt like it would. Taking the bass out on a 4 hour gig presented itself with nothing but comfort, tonal qualities, and sound."
Check out the entire review here, and kep an eye open for the LTD MM-4FM at an ESP dealer near you. While you're here, tell us what you think about Marco's signature bass in the comments below.

In a new effort to make comics more accessible, this website created a comic book store online especially for blind people. Comics Empower launched the online space using assistive technology so the site is heard and not seen.
The comic book store uses high contrast screens as well as screen readers. Audio comics are available from existing publishers and Comics Empower creates their own in-house comics as well. Stories are read by one narrator page by page as users go from panel to panel, hearing the speech bubbles and captions aloud.
Although the visual aspect is what differentiates graphic novels and comic books from other stories, this endeavor hopes to be more inclusive of the visually impaired by integrating technology instead of utilizing Braille.

Tiwa Savage arrested and put in detention for assaulting police officer
Pretty-faced singer, Tiwa Savage was allegedly arrested and whisked away after she engaged a policeman in a heated argument in front of Eko Hotels and Suites, Victoria Island, Lagos. It is alleged that Tiwa went as far as forcefully removing his beret from his head. The policeman in question was said to have accosted Tiwa, after she violated a traffic law and she stepped out of her car in anger, ready for a showdown with the policeman. The policeman called for back-up and Tiwa was bundled to an undisclosed Police Station.
A source says that Tiwa's manager came to bail her out, so she has been released from detention.

WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court decided Wednesday that employees who claim job discrimination should not suffer because of mistakes made by the federal agency charged with investigating their allegations.
WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court decided Wednesday that employees who claim job discrimination should not suffer because of mistakes made by the federal agency charged with investigating their allegations.
The 7-2 ruling allows an age discrimination lawsuit to proceed against FedEx Corp.
The majority opinion by Justice Anthony Kennedy is critical of the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, which failed to notify FedEx that 14 employees had filed a complaint. Companies must be told about complaints before discrimination lawsuits can be filed.
As a result of the EEOC's failure to notify, the two sides lost the chance to engage in an informal dispute resolution process.
The lower court that will now hear the case "can attempt to remedy this deficiency" by allowing for conciliation and possible settlement, Kennedy wrote.
In dissent, Justice Clarence Thomas said the majority of the court is effectively absolving the EEOC of its obligation to administer the law correctly. Thomas, who led the EEOC in the 1980s, was joined by Justice Antonin Scalia.
The EEOC has acknowledged it erred in this case, and others, and has said it has tightened its procedures to avoid similar mistakes in the future.
"The EEOC has taken steps to ensure timely notification to respondents of receipt of intake questionnaires or other correspondence that constitute charges," EEOC spokesman David Grinberg said Wednesday.
Federal law requires plaintiffs to file a complaint with the EEOC and wait 60 days before they sue an employer. The law is intended to give the EEOC the opportunity to notify the company accused of discrimination, investigate the charges and seek to resolve them before a suit is filed.
The FedEx employees said FedEx courier Patricia Kennedy filed a form with the EEOC in December 2001 that included the information necessary to comply with that law and said the suit she and her colleagues filed in April 2002 should be allowed to proceed.
A district court dismissed the case, but the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, based in New York City, ruled in March 2006 that the case should be allowed to proceed. The court found that the EEOC's failure to follow through on Kennedy's complaint and notify FedEx should not preclude the plaintiffs' right to sue.
"While we are disappointed in the decision, we respect the court's ruling and we'll proceed with this matter as ordered," FedEx Corp. spokesman Jim McCluskey said.
The case is Federal Express Corp. v. Holowecki, 06-1322.

Saw this adorable pattern for a Cardcaptor Sakura wand/staff pen by Mia and had to use it to make a life size one! I've always wanted one of these since I was little but they are crazy expensive (and small)! You can make your own for less than $10 and about 4-5hrs of work!
This is a great prop since it's both cheap and quick to make! You will need the following:
*Red worsted weight yarn
*Yellow/gold worsted weight yarn
*white worsted weight yarn
*pink worsted weight yarn
*Dowel rod- I used a 3/4" wide by 36" long one but you can use any size or length you like! You should be able to find these at any craft/hobby store or home repair/woodworking store. They cost less than $2.
*H hook
*F hook
*K hook
*large sewing needle/yarn needle
*Optional: Jewels for the eye part instead of yarn (not pictured)
This pattern is worked in rounds (unless otherwise noted) and may use any the following techniques/abbreviations:
Sc- single crochet
inc- increase
dec- decrease, particularly you should use the invisible decrease if you know how to do it
sc in each sc or work even- single crochet in each single crochet, don't add any increases or decreases
R- round or row
Ch- chain
# sc or sc #- for example 5 sc or sc 5 both mean to crochet in the next 5 sc, with one single crochet in each.
Repeat (*)- repeat what is between the asterisks * until you come to the end of the round, unless otherwise indicated
ring- magic ring. If you cannot do this technique then you may substitute this: ch 2 and sc however many were supposed to go in the ring into the second ch. However this will leave a small hole in the piece, this is why the magic ring is preferred, it leaves no visible hole. Many tutorials on how to do the magic ring are available online.
The numbers in parenthesis at the end of each row are the number of stitches you should have when that row is done. Mark the start of each round with a marker and move this marker as you complete rows/rounds.
I used Mia's pattern for the head piece of the staff but instead I used a K hook and 4 strands of yarn held together as one. This means you have 4 strands of yarn in your hand and you crochet with them like they were just one strand of yarn. This is a easy cheating way of making a pattern bigger in a really fast and easy way. What I did was make 2 small balls of yarn from my skein (you don't need too much) then take the strand of yarn from the outside of the skien and the inside of the skein and then you have 4!
Make and assemble the staff head piece per Mia's instructions with K hook and 4 strands of yarn held as one.
For the eye/jewel part I did the following:
With F hook and 1 strand of pink yarn:
Round1: 6 sc in ring (6)
R2- *inc* (12)
R3- * sc, inc* (18)
slip stich in next sc to smooth it out. Leave long tail for sewing.
You can also buy jewels from the craft store to glue on instead.
Making the staff body
Start w yellow yarn and H hook, 2 strands of yarn held together as one. You will be working in the round.
Note for if you used a different sized dowel rod: You just have to make sure the staff covering fits snugly over the dowel so crochet a few rows and if it's not big enough start over and add a few stitches, if it's too big start over and remove a few stitches. It's as simple as that! Make sure you have enough rows to pull over the dowel and test!
Round1- 6 sc in ring (6)
R2- 1 sc, inc (9)
R3-4- sc in each sc (9) change to pink at end of round 4.
R5-?- sc in each sc (9)
I didn't count rows here since there are so many! Just keep working until you get to almost the end of your dowel, about an inch or less from the end. It's good to test the staff cover by pulling it over the dowel to check it as you work. But be sure to crochet it when it is OFF the dowel, it's much easier! Once you get to almost the end of the dowel do the following:
Change to yellow and do three rounds of yellow. 9 sc for each round
Change to red and do one round of red. 9 sc for each round. Pull the staff cover over the dowel rod now. You will now close up the bottom.
Next do 3 sc, dec, 2 sc, dec (7) begin stuffing the bottom.
Next: 4 sc, dec, sc (6) Finish stuffing bottom.
Finally: 1, dec, sc
Sew tip closed.
Now sew on the head piece, it's much easier to do after the cover is already on the dowel rod. You can also make a small chain of yellow and sew it just below the staff top piece (like in Mia's pattern). It smooths out the transition from head piece to staff. Just make a chain long enough to go around the thickness of the staff and sew it on. You are ready to capture those cards!

Growth in businesses such as oil and gas has helped America's biggest engineering firm to lift profits.
In its latest announcement, General Electric says that at $US3.8 billion, June quarter operating profits (underlying profit) were up by eight per cent compared with the same quarter last year.
Net profit after tax from continuing operations according to Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), meanwhile, rose 13 per cent to come in at $US3.6 billion.
Leading the way was the company's industrial segment, which includes all of the company's operations in electricity, water, oil and gas, energy management, aviation, transportation and appliance and lighting.
Profit in this segment rose nine per cent to $US4.2 billion on revenue increases of seven per cent on strong results in oil and gas (profit up 25 per cent to $US665 million), aviation (up 12 per cent to $1.197 billion) and appliances and lighting (up 23 per cent to $US102 million).
New orders for services were up 14 per cent, but those for new equipment dropped three per cent to $US13.0 billion.
Meanwhile, the company is moving forward with efforts to scale back its finance business – which it wants to account for only 25 per cent of profit by 2016 (down from around 29 per cent now), announcing a planned initial public offering of its North American Retail Finance business for the end of July.
The latest result follows last month's acceptance by the French Government of GE's $17 billion for offer for Alstom's Power and Grid business, after current owner Bouygues SA (EN) agreed to sell a 20 per cent stake to France – a deal expected to close next year after shareholder and customary regulatory approvals which will, according to Bloomberg reports, represent GE's biggest ever acquisition.
The results also follow the announcement of $36 billion in contract wins for new jet engines on the part of a joint venture GE owns with French aircraft and rocket manufacturer Snecma at the Farnborough (UK) Airshow last week, including a single $US 13billion with Middle East carrier Emirates.
Company chairman Jeffrey Immelt welcomed the latest results.
"GE had a good performance in the quarter and in the first half of 2014, with double-digit industrial segment profit growth, 30 basis points of margin expansion, and nearly $6 billion returned to shareholders," Immelt said. "The environment continues to be generally positive."

Srinagar: Over a dozen separatists,
including JKLF Chairman Mohammad Yasin Malik were today taken
into preventive custody by police here to scuttle a token
hunger strike and protest rallies planned by them to mark the
World Human Rights day.
Several other separatist leaders, including chairmen of
both factions of Hurriyat Conference, Mirwaiz Umer Farooq and
Syed Ali Shah Geelai, and Democratic Freedom Party (DFP)
President Shabir Ahmad Shah were placed under house arrest as
a precautionary measure to maintain law and order, official
sources said.
Malik, who had planned to lead a "torch rally" from
Khankah in downtown Srinagar, was detained by police from his
Maisuma residence in the heart of Srinagar this morning, the
sources said.
Hundreds of Police and paramilitary personnel were also
deployed in and around Khankah to maintain law and order,
they said.
However, JKLF activists led by vice chairman Bashir Ahmad
Bhat made an attempt to take out the torch rally from Maisuma
headquarters but their attempt was foiled by police.
Bhat alongwith several other party leaders were detained
and rest were chased away by police who burst a teargas shell
and used batons after a group of youth pelted stones on them,
the sources said, adding, reinforcements have been rushed to
the area to restore order.
Condemning the police action, a JKLF spokesman said,
"The rally was planned to highlight the unabated human rights
violations and bring the attention of the world community
towards the long standing Kashmir issue for its resolution."

The 'Garden of Forking Paths,' winner of the 2013 Young Architects Program at MOMA, was created by Beals + Lyon Architects, by the team of Alejandro Beals, Loreto Lyon and Claudio Viñuela. The stop-and-think architectural wonder was built in downtown Santiago, Chile, as a temporary park structure.
The maze offers tourists and locals alike the chance to slow down and enjoy the city life. "We create an environment of slowness; a new scale for leisure and the unforeseen in a park that is otherwise insistently being pushed and transformed into a productive and lucrative space," comments the architectural team on Archilovers.
The Garden of Forking Paths features neon beams, a fountain and corn stalks. This creative project utilizes the busyness of the city to offer a stark and fun contrast that will overjoy children and adults alike.

Micro-dynamics of Free and Open Source Software Development. Lurking, laboring and launching new projects on SourceForge
David, Paul A. and Rullani, Francesco (2006) Micro-dynamics of Free and Open Source Software Development. Lurking, laboring and launching new projects on SourceForge. [Working Paper]. p. 37. LEM Working Paper Series (No. 2006/26).

Quantitative methods are employed to describe two fundamental processes in the creation of free (libre) and open source software (FLOSS) that are at work in the collaborative development environment of the SourceForge.Net platform: resource mobilization, and "entrepreneurial initiatives" which generate new development projects. The micro dynamics of the individuals' involvements in these processes are analysed by defining "activity states" that correspond to "lurking" (contributing to projects without become a member), "laboring" (joining one or more projects as members), and "launching" (founding one or more projects). The transition probability matrices constructed from observations on the activities of 222,835 individuals who registered on SF.net (during a 14-month period, mainly in 2001) characterize first-order Markov chains describing processes that are ergodic. The existence of a limiting "equilibrium" distribution of individual joining and launching activities is used to abstract from effects of transient disturbances (arising from the flow of new registrations), in order to reveal the implications of the underlying entrepreneurial and recruitment dynamics at work on the platform. Although only a small proportion of this cohort of SF.net registrants become even minimally active, and a still smaller proportion among those join projects, the active "core" of project members still numbers in the tens of thousands, and their ranks contain well more a thousand who found new projects. SourceForge is seen to be more than an attractor of projects that are being "born again" under open source licenses: this virtual collaborative development environment shares the regenerative properties of tangible "industrial districts" that give rise to new, innovative enterprises.

This entertaining spy comedy marks the first appearance of suave secret agent Al Pereira, portrayed here by actor-singer Eddie Constantine, best known as the similar Lemmy Caution in Alphaville and other films. Cult director Jesus Franco's final black-and-white film has Pereira on the trail of robotic hitmen murdering a series of important people. The agent romances a go-go dancer (Sophie Hardy) and breaks a Chinese espionage syndicate headed by the wily Lee Wee (Vicente Roca) before being kidnapped. The real culprits are Sir Percy (Fernando Rey) and his lover Lady Cecilia (Francoise Brion), who plan to turn their Rh-negative victims, including Pereira, into robot assassins. This clever, fast-paced adventure was revamped by acclaimed screenwriter Jean-Claude Carriere, whose witty dialogue enhances the film greatly. The Al Pereira character returned in Franco's Les Ebranlees (1972) and numerous other films.

THANK GOD IT'S MONDAY Blog Tour
Thank you for stopping by on our tour stop for #TGIM We are pleased to announce that we are participating in the Thank God It's Monday Blog Tour hosted by MacMillan. Today we kick off the #TGIF tour and then for the next 6 Mondays before A WEEK OF MONDAYS is on sale, participating bloggers will each host a Monday scheduled post in which we share a Monday that we relive for 7 days straight. Get ready for our Monday's.
Be sure to follow these hash tags #TGIM and #AWeekofMondays in all social posts and Jessica is on Twitter @JessicaBrody.
Ellie is having the worst Monday of her life. She messes up her school speech for the class vice presidency position, she manages to take the world's worst school picture, she bombs softball tryouts, and the icing on top of this awful cake: her perfect boyfriend who is in a high school rock band dumps her. At the end of the day, Ellie wishes she could redo everything. When she wakes up the next morning, she discovers that it's Monday again! She has six more chances to redo the day in the hopes of having everything go exactly the way she wants. But in the process, she just may find out that what she really wants and what she actually needs are two very different things.
Jessica Brody is the author of several popular books for teens, including the Unremembered trilogy, 52 Reasons to Hate My Father, and The Karma Club, as well as two adult novels. She splits her time between California and Colorado. Find out more at jessicabrody.com.
It was the best of Mondays, it was the worst of Mondays. Mondays get the worst rep, don't they? Like how many people get up on Monday EXCITED to start the week? Unless this is vacation or a Disney movie, it's not many! So let's talk about our best and worst Mondays - you be the judge!
The BEST Monday
The best Monday started like any other Monday, with good memories of the weekend before. Why? Because I had just attended SupernaturalCon for my (pre)honeymoon. When our wedding was moved due to a double booking at the venue, we decided not to move our honeymoon and just roll with it. That meant I got to relax the entire week before I got married - sweet! But back to my weekend...We had front row VIP tickets to see our favorite TV cast doing their thing plus photos and autographs with each of the cast members. When we told Jeffrey Dean Morgan about our upcoming wedding, the man kissed me and congratulated us. That alone is enough to make Monday AWESOME. On top of it, we were spending the day at Disney, which we later came to find out was opening day for the new Star Wars attractions. EPIC. Such a freaking great Monday.
The WORST Monday
I feel like when you're going to have a terrible Monday, you get a little advance notice. Something always starts the day off with an annoyance that makes you want to crawl back in bed and pull the covers over your head. So when I fell back asleep after my alarm went off, I should have known! So I started my day a little bit behind. Do you ever have those mornings where something is off but you don't know why? Turns out I had gotten my routine mixed up and left the house without lipstick. Nothing like a full face of makeup and NO LIPSTICK. No problem, right? I'll just stop at the drugstore and pick some up. Plus a Starbucks sounds delightful and I've earned it...NOPE. Managed to dump the entire frappuccino on the floor of the car without even taking a sip. So now my car smells like rotting milk, my face is all off, and I have to somehow continue my day. Cue intense headache, which could probably be cured with two Tylenol and some caffeine except the caffeine is now all over the floor and there's no way I'm risking round two. Sigh. Work time! Great, except I forgot I have a big meeting in the afternoon I have to prep for still and of course there's fires to be put out. By that time my nerves are shot and it doesn't even matter that no one else knows how off my game I am, because I totally know. So now I'm second guessing everything and worried about how awful the meeting has gone. Face-game off, no caffeine, confidence shaken; thanks, world!
For the next five Mondays, blogger friends across the internet will be sharing their best and worst Monday. Follow along with us online with #TGIM and #AWeekofMondays, because whether a Monday is memorable for good reasons or memorable for bad reasons, we stand to learn a lot about ourselves.

Microsoft's proposed remedy in its antitrust case, along with its warning that a breakup would bring severe consequences to the economy, is being scoffed at by the government and other opponents of the software company's actions.
"I think Microsoft is in denial: It continues to deny doing anything wrong and is offering nothing new," said Connecticut Attorney General Richard Blumenthal yesterday, one of the principal state attorneys in the lawsuit filed by 19 states and the US Department of Justice.
Blumenthal said the proposed remedies "seem inadequate to repair the damage done by Microsoft's illegal use of its monopoly power and to stop future misconduct."
In court papers filed late Wednesday, Microsoft warned of "massive disruption" to its operations, including the possibility of employees leaving in droves, if the government's breakup plan is enacted.
The company asked for an immediate dismissal of the government's plan and filed an alternative set of remedies that would impose restrictions on the company's dealings with PC makers, along with ensuring that third parties have timely access to technical information needed to develop software for the Windows operating system.
"Not only is the breakup an unprecedented remedy in the 110-year history of the Sherman Act, it is also an entirely unwarranted remedy," said Bill Neukom, Microsoft's executive vice president for law and corporate affairs. "Breaking up this company would be a punitive proposal that would fundamentally harm consumers, the industry and the American economy."
But Blumenthal said the Microsoft plan is "laden with loopholes and is really an invitation to constant and continuing government policing and intrusion."
Blumenthal also said Microsoft is "greatly exaggerating the potential dangers (of the breakup), raising a spectre that simply is unrealistic. The reorganisation proposed by the government would provide incentives for present employees to be more creative and innovate and unleash competition in a way that tremendously benefits the economy as a whole."
Microsoft also asked the court for more time to consider the remedy phase, possibly extending it until December.
"If they need additional time, it should be measured in weeks, not months," said Blumenthal. "Unnecessary delay benefits no one. It means continued and increasing uncertainty, which is everyone's enemy."
The government will submit a response to Microsoft's proposal May 17. Both sides are due in court May 24 to argue the remedies, but Blumenthal said it's possible a scheduling conference may be held between then and now to work out details of the hearing timetable.
Microsoft isn't the first company involved in an antitrust case to make such a warning of economic consequences as a result of a breakup, said William Kovacic, a law professor at George Washington University in Washington. Two other companies broken up by the government made similar predictions.
"Standard Oil told the Supreme Court that a breakup up would have calamitous effects throughout the economy in 1911," said Kovacic. AT&T "said that the US would pay a terrible penalty in reduced innovation and poor telephone service."
"In both those historical examples, the catastrophes didn't take place. If you look at this history, there might be a tendency to say we heard this before," said Kovacic.
The judge, US District Court Judge Thomas Penfield Jackson, will likely agree to some extended schedule, said Kovacic. "If you are a single federal judge and you're being asked to dismember what may be the world's most significant commercial enterprise, are you willing to invest in a couple of months of additional discussion and analysis to make sure you get it right? In the great sweep of time, that doesn't strike me as being excessive."
Rich Gray, an antitrust attorney at Outside General Counsel Silicon Valley in Menlo Park, California, said the Microsoft briefs may help the company fight a breakup plan on appeal, should the judge impose it.
One argument is based on the judge's own findings that the government hadn't shown that any of the illegal acts actually stopped Netscape Communications or Sun Microsystems from being able to compete with Windows, said Gray.
"Overall, I think Microsoft has made a very strong argument against a breakup, stronger than I expected. I'm not sure that it will convince Judge Jackson, but I think it will play very well at the appellate level," said Gray.
Microsoft proposed a number of self-restrictions in its brief yesterday, including the following:
PC makers would be allowed to delete the Internet Explorer icon from the Windows desktop and start menu, offer their own Internet sign-up process in the initial Windows boot sequence and display icons for non-Microsoft-platform software on the Windows desktop.
Microsoft would be prohibited from entering into contracts to promote any product or service through Windows in exchange for the other party agreeing to limit distribution of non-Microsoft platform software.
The company would ensure timely and complete access of application programming interfaces to developers.
The company would pay the attorneys' fees and other costs of the 19 plaintiffs in the lawsuit.
But Ken Wasch, president of the Software and Information Industry Association (SIIA) in Washington, said the proposals don't change Microsoft's current business practices.
"What Microsoft is still focusing on is they think this case is still solved by excising certain provisions in their contracts. That's not what this case is about. This is about restoring the possibility of competition in the operating system (market). We're pretty underwhelmed by what we see." The SIIA filed a brief in support of the government in the Microsoft case and has argued for a breakup.
Jackson ruled last month that Microsoft broke antitrust laws by engaging in anticompetitive and predatory conduct to maintain its monopoly. Following that ruling, the government filed court papers seeking to split the company in two, dividing its applications from the operating systems. The brief filed yesterday was Microsoft's response to that plan.

Yes, you can wear slippers to work
If there is one thing to take away for the SS16 season it's that relaxed dressing is big news.
All the various elements - from deconstruction, loose shirting and fluttering ties to exposed shoulders, whispy sheers and louche pyjama trousers - mean we can barely be bothered to get dressed, let alone put on shoes.
That's where this season's hero shoe comes in; the backless shoe.
A progression from the mule and the slide (which dominated the last few spring/summer seasons), the new shoe is so flat you're a step away from bare feet.
Gucci's backless loafers, which filled all of our social media feeds when it debuted just over a year ago at the fashion house's autumn/winter 2015 catwalk, are still one of the most sought-after pieces.
Want proof? Just look to the number of pairs spotted on the streets of the recent autumn/winter 2016 shows in London, New York, Paris and Milan.
Such was the demand for them that they had a reprise on the AW16 catwalk - proof if ever we needed it that they have become a dressed-down style staple.
But, let's be honest, they're slippers. Slippers, you can actually wear to work. Win-win, no?
Whether you go for the traditional Persian babouche style (pronounced 'beh-boosh'), or Céline's v-cut slipper reinterpretation, just make sure you're slipping into some backless sho

Born in Vincennes, Indiana, in 1840, Sarah Hutchins Killikelly graduated from Eden Hall Seminary in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, where she studied piano and organ with the German-born teacher Karl Merz.22 She took up residence in Pittsburgh in 1861. There she «conducted a private school... for many years, with marked success»; she also taught «in the department of literature and art in Columbia Institute, a university extension enterprise in New York city» (NCAB). A Fellow of the Society of Science, Letters and Art in London, she devoted much of her time to literary pursuits and, in 1897, won the Society's gold crown award for papers on the Victorian era. She died in Washington, D. C., in 1912.
Killikelly published two books. The second, The History of Pittsburgh, Its Rise and Progress, appeared only a few years before her death (Pittsburgh, Pa.: B. C. and Gordon Montgomery, 1906). It had one edition. The first book, Curious Questions in History, Literature, Art, and Social Life Designed as a Manual of General Information, had appeared in three volumes, beginning in 1886, with the next in 1889 and the last in 1900. Volumes I and II seem to have had a second edition in 1895.23 Henry Coppée, the former president of Lehigh University and a professor of English there, reviewed volume I prior to its publication and his opinion, included by Killikelly, describes succinctly the work's contents and purpose:
|(Curious Questions, 1:vii)
Each volume opens with a Table of Questions, the «curious questions» themselves, each of which contains a page reference to the answer in the text (which Coppée terms the «notes»). Question number 106 in Volume I asks, «Who is the hero of 'The Lusiad'? Page 128» (xvi). The answer goes as follows:
|(1: 128-29)
For her information Killikelly leaned heavily on Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's Poets and Poetry of Europe and J. C. L. Simonde de Sismondi's Historical View of the Literature of the South of Europe in Thomas Roscoe's translation, both of which she cites in her List of Authorities (viii; Roscoe's name omitted). The two episodes she specifies are the same two which Longfellow had anthologized, in William Julius Mickle's translation. Sismondi had earlier included them, likewise in Mickle's translation, commenting that he had «thus given, in full, two of the finest episodes contained in the whole —509→ poem..., those of Inez de Castro and of Adamastor» (2: 497-500, 507-11). Mrs. Hemans's version of the «Appearance of the Spirit of the Cape to Vasco da Gama» had also circulated widely (358-60). This kind of popular emphasis probably contributed to Killikelly's mistaking the passage around the Cape as «the main feature of the poem». It very possibly occasioned in addition her twin errors of overstating da Gama's role in the poem and failing to observe Camões's innovation in making Portugal its hero, even though Sismondi had carefully pointed these things out:

While Killikelly evidently read The Lusiad and at least one of its commentators imperfectly, she reacted favorably to the poem, to the point where she could comfortably support the value judgement of it as a noble monument to national glory.24 She also felt comfortable, as not only Sismondi but Thomas Wentworth Higginson and even Longfellow had not, with its mythological «machinery».25 Unlike her predecessors, she either did not perceive any conflict between Camões's classical figures and his orthodox Christianity or, having in this context understood the poem more fully than was common among nineteenth-century readers of it in English, she realized that none exists.
Writing at a point in time that had allowed her to witness the crass commercialism of the Gilded Age, Killikelly strikes a note which would have sounded discordant to Henrietta Hall Shuck with her frank admiration for The Lusiad as «the epic poem of commerce» (533). She comes very close to expressing instead the view that the «general impetus» brought about in Europe by the voyages of discovery had two separate and distinct manifestations, the one commercial, the other literary, and that Camões's poem results from the latter, not the former. In doing so she points faintly but perceptibly toward that quality which renders it invulnerable to the passing fancies of any given age by making it adaptable to all ages. Together with Mrs. Shuck, although far more briefly and in large part because the two of them could not have agreed on the reason why, she anticipates Isaac Goldberg's emphasis on the universality with which Camões «easily transcends his country's boundaries» (61).
A biographical note on Camões follows the discussion of The Lusiad in Killikelly's text. While it adds nothing new, it gives near the end of the century renewed currency to the principal sentimental stories about Camões which Mickle had popularized initially more than a hundred years earlier and which, beginning in 1803, had gained an even wider circulation through the Remarks in Lord Strangford's Poems from the Portuguese of Luis de Camoens. Retold also by Longfellow and Sismondi, from whom Killikelly apparently drew them as she did her comments on the poem, they include Camões's «fruitless love for Catharina de Atayde», how his «pension was taken away after the king's death», and how «a faithful Indian servant begged in the streets of Lisbon for the support of the great epic poet of Portugal» who «died in the hospital at Lisbon...» (129), an institution which reappears in Herman Melville's late poem «Camoens».26
The story of Inês de Castro in particular appealed to Killikelly, as it had done long before to Voltaire and would again, long after and for different reasons, to the Ezra Pound who had read him.27 Admittedly, Killikelly followed a familiar path in singling it out as «one of the most interesting episodes» but she demonstrated her own interest in it when she presented it as the very first «curious question» of all: «What queen was crowned with all due ceremony, after her death? Page 1» (1: ix). Apart from some concluding remarks about later events in Portugal, the answer (1: 1-2) adds little to what Camões himself had related, less to what Sismondi and Longfellow had added already, but it keeps the story itself current.
Killikelly did not systematically cross-reference the Curious Questions and the answer to number 1 does not mention Camões. Readers unfamiliar with him must therefore wait until they have also read the answer to number 106 before they can identify The Lusiad as the source. At that point, of course, the similarity between Killikelly's description of the story and her wording of question number 1 leaves no doubt about the relationship between the two questions.
The line in Curious Questions' subtitle which describes it as A Manual of General Information reveals that Killikelly considered a knowledge of Camões and his epic integral to the kind of general information which educated persons of her era should have at their disposal. She had, in fact, already taken steps as a teacher to see that —510→ some of them would have it, as she states indirectly but unmistakably in her Preface:
Although Curious Questions gives no readily visible signs of adoption by other teachers, despite Coppée's hearty recommendation, the materials which went into volume I, Camões among them, had first undergone discussion in Killikelly's own classroom, presumably at her private school in Pittsburgh. Naturally, given the volume's total of two hundred and seventy-five questions, Camões cannot have enjoyed undivided attention for more than a portion of any semester's Wednesday afternoons but, even so, Killikelly exposed at least some of her «many successive classes» to him. She thus assured that they would recognize his place in «the broader fields of polite literature», something which the magazinist and educator William Gordon McCabe had do ne as a recently graduated schoolboy in Virginia thirty years before.28

Outcome of the Partners in Care Forums
Foster and kinship carers are the backbone of the child protection system and have an integral role in providing safe and caring homes for children who are unable to live with their own families. In 2017 Foster Care Queensland partnered with the Department of Child Safety to deliver a statewide engagement program with foster and kinship carers.The workshops explored topics identified by carers who shared their experiences and contributed their ideas for strengthening support and cooperation between frontline services, foster and kinship care service providers and carers.
Partners in Care: Working better with foster and kinship carers (PDF, 425KB) Partners in Care: Working better with foster and kinship carers (DOCX, 34 KB) has been developed in response to carers' contributions at these workshops. It outlines the Department's immediate actions to strengthen working relationship with carers and identifies ways for ongoing engagement.
The Department will continue to review the Partners in Care final summary report (PDF, 2.1 MB) Partners in Care final summary report (DOCX, 1.4 MB) and develop strategies to address the longer-term issues raised by carers to improve the care system.

Global housing crises are not abstract. They are visible and viscerally experienced on the ground where people sleep, gather, eat and raise their families. While conditions in distinct and distant cultures may differ, they are increasingly interrelated; so are the processes that generate these conditions. People are actively (and passively) unhoused by markets, governments, wars, ethnic violence, gentrification, natural and manmade disasters, and other factors. Where markets and governments fail to provide housing, people are left to provide housing for themselves. The creative efforts of individuals, groups, and others invested in improving the condition of daily life and shelter at the margins of affordability are the subject of this exhibition. The material presented here is drawn from research on creative responses to global housing crises we are doing in preparation for a book called UNHOUSED.
We are putting multiple forms of housing crises in relation to one another in a way they never are. We are exploring the relationships between diverse phenomena: gentrification in wealthy Western cities, the slum clearance that accompanies the Olympic Games nearly wherever it goes, the occupation of large tracts of land in rural Brazil by thousands of "landless" people and more. The purpose of this project is not to glorify or fetishize life under difficult conditions. Rather, our intention is to give visibility to the magnitude and complexity of housing crises and to stimulate thoughtful action, facilitate potential collaborations amongst innovators on the ground, and – we hope – inspire meaningful policies that can better house people at all levels of society.
Over the next 5 years, we will travel to dozens of cities to conduct research. We will seek out highly localized forms of creative engagement with housing problems all over the world – from direct actions to house people to innovative changes in public policy. Our efforts will combine the work of artists, urban planners, activists, architects, and UNHOUSED populations themselves. We will seek out people who have already conducted in depth investigations of UNHOUSING, like some of the material presented in this exhibition.

In this Total Politics poll, Dr Lawson's very excellent Mabinogogiblog leaps ahead of me one place, Stroud's Molly Scott Cato's 'Gaian Economics' blog storms into the charts at number 6 after last year not being listed as a Green blog. The Daily (Maybe) stays in it's rightful number one spot and Two Doctors, Barkingside 21 and Another Green World are all also up there. Weggis deservedly creaping up the charts - and new comer Bright Green Scotland is straight in at number 2!
All this is a bit of fun - a strange rivalry amongst many of us who are friends and know each other well - big thanks to all who voted for me - the drop in one place can I am sure be put down to the fact that my family didn't vote this year! My parents saying that it wouldn't be fair to judge as they didn't read the other green blogs! Anyhow enjoy having a read of some of these below.

Last Edition: NEWSIES Stars Recall Favorite Memories- Kevin Carolan
NEWSIES plays its final performance on Broadway this coming Sunday, August 24, but BroadwayWorld (and the rest of New York, we hope) isn't ready to let the musical leave just yet! Throughout the week, we continue the Newsies love by bringing you favorite memories from a slew of the current and past stars of the show!
KEVIN CAROLAN (Roosevelt, Ensemble - original cast)
Losing half of my Teddy Roosevelt mustache on stage in the middle of a performance late in our Paper Mill Playhouse run! That was when I realized that whenever the chips were down during Newsies, I could always count on the pillar of control and grace contained in John E. Brady. The man was a puddle of strength. The rest of my fellow actors fared SLIGHTLY better.
NEWSIES features a Tony Award-winning score with music by eight-time Academy Award winner Alan Menken and lyrics by Jack Feldman, with a book by four-time Tony Award winner Harvey Fierstein. Produced by Disney Theatrical Productions, NEWSIES is directed by Tony nominee Jeff Calhoun and choreographed by Christopher Gattelli, who won a 2012 Tony Award for his work.
When it opened on March 29, 2012, Newsies was intended for a Broadway run of just 101 performances. The show's fiercely devoted fans had other ideas, however: they propelled the show to a run that will total 1005 performances, attendance of more than 1 million and a gross of over $100M. At the time of Newsies' closing, only the landmark musical Rent will have played the Nederlander Theatre longer in its 93 year history.
Set in New York City at the turn of the century, Newsies is the rousing tale of Jack Kelly, a charismatic newsboy and leader of a ragged band of teenaged 'newsies,' who dreams only of a better life far from the hardship of the streets. But when publishing titans Joseph Pulitzer and William Randolph Hearst raise distribution prices at the newsboys' expense, Jack finds a cause to fight for and rallies newsies from across the city to strike for what's right.

BlackBerry is still very much in the middle of a reorganization, a turnaround that even CEO John Chen says has a 50 percent chance of working. As we recently saw with Facebook's acquisition of WhatsApp, there's clearly value left in a standalone chat client like BlackBerry Messenger (BBM). Waterloo has to find a way to turn that into a revenue stream, though, and one option might be to sell a more advanced version of the chat service to enterprise customers – a plan that's in line with BlackBerry's plans to re-focus its efforts on the enterprise as a whole.
According to Re/Code, BlackBerry is considering a "more secure and unaudited version of BBM" that it could charge enterprise customers to use. In other words, you may one day walk into your office and find that your IT department prefers all chat messages be passed between you and your colleagues through BBM, instead of SMS or another platform. Likewise, BlackBerry is also eyeing ways to generate new revenue from its consumer platform.
We've argued that it could add new features and charge a few bucks for them through in-app purchases. For now, however, it's going to focus on sponsored channels and selling stickers – which typically come in the form of larger or animated emoticons, and mobile payments. BlackBerry has been known for its security, and it hopes it can leverage that to expand a trial mobile payment service to new markets. The service is being tested now in Indonesia, Re/Code said.
"There isn't a single monetization model here that needs to ubiquitously work or be forced on things," BlackBerry's BBM business development senior director David Proulx told Re/Code. Still, BlackBerry wants exiting users to know that it's not going to fundamentally change the ease of use of the service, one of the reasons consumers use it in the first place. "At no point will we compromise the utility of BBM," Proulx said.

'Asphalt For Eden'
It's remarkable how much the musical landscape has changed in the five years since Dälek announced they were going on hiatus. Of course, this New Jersey outfit were by no means the first to combine hip-hop's rhythmic clout with a noisier, industrial aesthetic (themselves having always been indebted to the likes of Public Enemy, El-P and Techno Animal), but their dark, idiosyncratic style certainly occupied its own highly distinctive little niche within the pantheon of "extreme" music. Their once seemingly singular vision, however, has been elaborated on in the last few years by all manner of abrasive avant-garde rap acts who owe as much to Merzbow as they do N.W.A., like Death Grips, Clipping and Ratking, to name just a few, with this angular sound seeping into the mainstream consciousness to such an extent that even bloated self-parody Kanye West began to use harsher, more abstract production techniques on his 'Yeezus' album.
Given this change in sonic climate and the fact that longtime DJ Oktopus isn't a part of Dälek's current incarnation, you'd be forgiven for worrying that 'Asphalt For Eden' would be a dated and unnecessary addendum to an otherwise stellar and fearlessly ambitious discography. Thankfully though, oh ye of little faith, such thoughts quickly turn out to be entirely unfounded; born out of MC Will Brooks' desire to explore heavier terrain after delving back into standard boom-bap hip-hop with his iconAclass project, the album feels like an entirely organic return for the group. Their sound hasn't changed all that drastically – layers of swirling, My Bloody Valentine-esque guitar still collide with those speaker blowing Godfleshian drum loops in the most hypnotic way possible – but Dälek sound noticeably rejuvenated and reinvigorated here.
At little over 38 minutes, it's also their shortest record to date. Whilst this means that none of these tracks (save for the album's meditative instrumental centrepiece '6dB') build into the same kind of monolithic sound structures as the tracks from 2007's 'Abandoned Language', nor is there any room for twelve minute noise freakouts like the classic 'Black Smoke Rising', it benefits them in other ways as 'Asphalt…' is also arguably the most immediate and urgent sounding record they've released yet.
Take 'Masked Laughter (Nothing's Left)', for instance, where Brook's famously brooding, monotone flow breaks into a looser, angrier drawl as he spits venom at the world's injustices whilst seemingly expressing his own frustration at music's apparent inability to right these wrongs ("I don't need a fucking anthem, I need change"), or the unstoppable, crackling bounce of 'Critical', a no-nonsense hook-laden four minute banger that would probably dominate the airwaves if released on a major label. The final combo of 'Control' and the arrestingly beautiful 'It Just Is' are two of the finest tracks in the band's oeuvre, the former finding them at their most claustrophobic, polemic spewing best, and the latter proving that their brand of audio terrorism is still just as capable of tugging your heartstrings as it is bashing your grey matter into a bloody pulp.
Sounding leaner, more energised and angrier than ever, 'Asphalt For Eden' proves Dälek have lost none of their relevancy and casts an imposing shadow over the current industrial hip-hop scene they helped to foster.
'Pleiades' Dust'
Just in case you didn't get the memo that Gorguts aren't your typical death metal band, Luc Lemay and chums have seen fit to follow up their acclaimed 2013 comeback 'Colored Sands' with a single 33-minute composition inspired by the major intellectual centre of the Islamic Golden Age. Oh, but of course! However, while 'Pleiades' Dust' is undoubtedly an ambitious undertaking, it's also far from impenetrable, with the band striking a well-honed balance between their trademark nerve-shredding dissonance and extended periods of intoxicating, Eastern-tinged melody. As on 'Colored Sands', Lemay and fellow guitarist Kevin Hufnagel (Dysrhythmia, Krallice) weave an intricate web of huge, crashing chords and warped leads, which is underpinned by the equally dextrous bass work of Colin Marston (Behold… The Arctopus, Dysrhythmia, Krallice) and versatile drumming of Patrice Hamelin (Beneath The Massacre). The expansive, pseudo-classical structure allows the band to explore every idea to its fullest, with the mesmeric interplay on display during the piece's more reflective moments serving to heighten the impact when Lemay's throaty growls and pummelling mutant riffs come back into play. The final twelve-minute stretch is particularly devastating, as the four-piece traverse through ambient drones, leaden doom and brain-scrambling riff barrage, before going out in a blaze of glory with a dazzling solo and a swell of noise punctuated by some final gentle glimmers of clean guitar. Once again, Gorguts have further distanced themselves from the death metal pack. Where they go from here is anyone's guess…
The Swedes' 21 minute opus is one of their most disorientating and ambitious
'Veritas Diaboli Manet in Aeternum: Chaining the Katechon' (NORMA EVANGELIUM DIABOLI, 2008)
Deathspell's first harrowing foray into long-form EPs wouldn't be their last
'Dopesmoker' (TEEPEE, 2003)
Written and conceived through the largest smog of marijuana smoke ever seen, Sleep's hour-long masterpiece is one of metal's most infamous one-song albums
'The Cavern' (RELAPSE, 2014)
This 45 minute odyssey is another ambitious gem from this unclassifiable Richmond based band
There's something to be said about "poor" productions done on purpose to emulate some beloved lo-finess of yore, but whatever, we'll do it when we have a bigger wordcount and when it doesn't actually work. Yes, 'Lede' sounds like a scratched 'Under The Funeral Moon' vinyl was dropped in a puddle of mud, but rather than a gimmick, it actually suits the muffled, sludgy attack of the disgusting 39 minutes on offer here. The devil farting in your general direction on the cover is also a pretty good representation of what you get from this, the nastiest-sounding and also best album of the Belgians' career – it's unpleasant, at first you wish they hadn't done it, but in the end you laugh and end up sticking around for another go.
'Between Life And Nowhere'
It's been a full decade since Art Of Burning Water's debut full-length first wowed us with their caustic mixture of noise rock abrasion, grindcore energy and Melvins-esque sludge riffery. With the small avalanche of splits and EPs they've unleashed over the last couple years, they've got this ugly, angular sound down to a fine art, and this sixth full-length is their best yet. Their raucous, punk-as-fuck riffing style has never sounded more potent – check out simultaneously melancholy and triumphant closer 'Kindness Is Strength' – and when combined with their frenetic enthusiasm and gleeful disregard for convention (not to mention their penchant for chucklesome titles – 'Voivodian Solutions To Die Kreuzian Problems', anyone?) produces an unhinged, unpredictable and supremely enjoyable record.
'The Poisonous Path'
An atavistic approach delivered with visceral precision, Finland's Behexen aren't playing for points. 'The Poisonous Path' maintains the primeval rawness of their early work, whilst offering more atmospheric moments like dramatic closer 'Rakkaudesta Saatanaan'. Devoutly old-school in approach, yet still managing to sound fresh, 'The Poisonous Path' rarely grants quarter, only to then re-double its efforts in a further savage assault. Seared with the fires of Hades and with no regard for trends, Behexen marry Hoath Torog's monstrous vocals and the cavernous production with malevolent buzzsaw to summon a feeling of real dread which only the finest Satanists can conjure. Sticking to their guns, Behexen have crafted another fitting offering to the horned one.
