Put that camera down, please. No, I mean it. Really.
OK, you can take my picture, if you HAVE to, but if you post it online, you're in big trouble.
I have always been photographically challenged. From the time I was gifted with a Polaroid "Swinger" camera at age 10, my victims knew that their photos would come out all blurry, or that the tops of their heads would be cut off. The next step after watching the film magically develop was always unceremoniously tearing the offending pic into little pieces.
And over the years my skills have improved not a whit. Ask me to snap a picture of you at the beach or, Lord help us, at your college graduation, and you do so at your own risk. When I finally figure out how to operate your camera, be prepared to hit the "delete" button because you will NOT look good. I guarantee it. I inevitably catch my subjects with mouths hanging open or blinking or grimacing. With my digital wizardry, I can transform even a supermodel into a frump.
My current camera has suddenly decided not to save every second or third picture. It's probably time for the repair shop, and yet I'm in no big hurry. I am absolutely positive the disappearing snaps are duds…my Canon knows best!
It's even worse when the lens is focused on me. I have one stock expression (smiling) that is tolerable, and so I try to be grinning whenever the paparazzi draw near, even at funerals. Otherwise, the results are most unfortunate: it looks as if I am having a Bad Hair, Face and Body Day.
My sister Carolyn thinks she is very un-photogenic. Therefore, our albums feature everyone BUT her. C is usually off in a corner with a bag over her head, lest a shot accidentally include her. Carolyn believes she peaked, looks-wise, at about age 4. Photographic records of her after that are rare. I'm amazed she agreed to pose for her wedding picture. (She looked lovely, by the way.) It would've been more like her to pose my brother-in-law Rob alone, with his new bride as the Invisible Woman. My mom Joanie used to be equally camera-shy. The sad result, now that mom's gone, is that we have precious few tangible reminders of her. What I wouldn't give to see more of her on film, even sporting that hideous hairpiece with the blond streaks. It's mom! I wouldn't care!
On our family room walls hang very old photos, some dating back to the early 1900s. It was such a different time. Picture-taking was a rare event. Decked out in their finest, looking stiff and uncomfortable, Steve's grandparents sit, solemn-faced children on their knees, for a family portrait. My dad, at about nine months old, peeks out of an ornate baby carriage. I'm so glad to have these relics of the past, and when I look at them I like to imagine myself into their lives.
My kids are coming of age at the most visually documented time in history. The digital revolution has made photography ridiculously easy. It's not uncommon for one concert outing to spawn 100 or more cell phone pics. ("There's Emily and me in front of the Electric Factory. Now we're making goofy faces. Now we're making goofy faces and pointing at each other," etc. etc.) These images are then loaded onto their computers, where they are added to the hundreds of albums already there.
There must be a happy medium, between no pictures and a multitude, a place where my looking silly is OK. A place where C and I can be comfortable, whatever our facial expressions, knowing that the only reactions to our photos that truly matter are those of the people who love us. Looked at through the lens of love, anyone can be beautiful. Try it yourself with even unfortunate shots of people special to you; they look fine, don't they?
So go ahead, take my picture. I guess I don't mind too much after all. Someday, my grandchildren may see it and remember me. And come on, sister C, get in the picture with me. Let's make goofy faces.

Okay, I decided to go for it. I just created a favicon.ico based on the surprised looking smiley icon with parenthesis around its head. You may have to dump your browser cache to see it. I had to shrink things down to make it all fit in the 16x16 space you get for a favicon, so it doesn't have the resolution of the smiley used in the forum itself.
Feedback welcome.

FBI agents staged a middle-of-the-night raid Wednesday at the home of Trenton's mayor, whose two-year administration of New Jersey's impoverished capital city has been marked by accusations of nepotism and reckless spending.
Mayor Tony Mack, 46, emerging later in the morning from his home, denied any wrongdoing.
"We have not violated the public trust nor have I violated any of my public duties and that's all I have to say on the matter," he said.
Rebekah Carmichael, a spokeswoman for the U.S. Attorney's Office in New Jersey, said the FBI was present at Mack's home earlier but said she could not provide any other details.
Mack's administration has been in turmoil from Day 1, staggering from one crisis to another. A housecleaning of staff at City Hall opened the door for Mack's own appointees, who quickly turned it into a revolving door. Some left over questions about their credentials, others to face criminal charges.
Under an agreement reached last year, the Democrat can only hire department heads from a pool of applicants the state offers or he risks losing $6 million in state aid.
A citizens group last year failed to get enough signatures to force a recall election.
In just Mack's first year in office in Trenton, a city of 85,000, he ran through a string of business administrators. The first resigned after a month, saying the mayor didn't believe in "good government." Another resigned just ahead of pleading guilty to embezzlement on another job.
His housing director quit after it was learned he had a theft conviction. His chief of staff was arrested trying to buy heroin. His half-brother, whose authority he elevated at the city water plant, was arrested on charges of stealing.
Questions have also been raised about how he financed his campaign for mayor.
A former longtime city employee sued the mayor late last year. The parks department employee said she was let go after refusing to dole out jobs for the mayor's friends, refusing to give federal grant money to people who didn't apply and for inquiring about city funds she said were missing.
The ex-employee also said she was replaced by a Mack supporter who never showed up for his $40,000-a-year job.
Trenton Councilman George Muschal, a retired police officer who had initially supported Mack but then became a harsh critic, said he didn't know the focus of the investigation but said "when the feds come after you, they come after you for a good reason."
Muschal said city workers regularly come to him with a wide range of complaints but that Mack is many times impossible to reach. "He's the commander-in- chief, he's leading the ship and I don't know where it's going. The man does what he wants," he said.
A year ago, Muschal said that City Hall had become corrupted by the Mack administration.
"It won't stop until someone takes him out in handcuffs or he's removed by recall," Muschal said at the time.
Trenton ranks as one of the nation's poorest state capitals, with about 20 percent of the population living below the poverty line. It also ranks among the country's most dangerous cities.
Mack, who has a master's degree in public policy from Fairleigh Dickinson University, has spent most of his adult life working for municipal government and as an elected county official.

First two ingredients are named meat products, use of organic ingredients.
Minimum acceptable meat content, not suitable for allergy sufferers
The first ingredient in the food is organic chicken. Since this is chicken inclusive of water content, once this is removed as it must be to make a dry food, the ingredient will weigh around 20% of its wet weight. It is thus very unlikely that this is the true first ingredient in the food, and it is more likely that it would be more accurately placed further down the ingredient list.
The true first ingredient in the food is chicken meal (non-organic). There is a further meat meal ingredient (salmon) 9th on the ingredient list, but this is too far down for the ingredient to make a substantial contribution to the meat content of the food. We would thus judge that there is a minimum acceptable meat content in the food. We find no sign on the manufacturer website of a guarantee that they are using solely ethoxyquin-free ingredients in their food (ethoxyquin is a chemical preservative commonly added to fish ingredients, and that is believed to be carcinogenic).
The third ingredient is organic peas and the fourth soybean seeds. Soy is a lower quality source of additional protein. The use of soy is a concern for dogs prone to allergies as soy is a very common cause of allergies in dogs (some believe it is the number 1 cause of allergies, outstripping even wheat).
Organic barley and brown rice are the next ingredients, both of which are decent quality. We appreciate the inclusion of whole eggs and a range of probiotics in the food. Overall, we feel that this product is rather light in meat content (and would encourage adding meat to the diet). Ingredients overall appear to be good quality.
Note that this food uses citric acid as a preservative and thus should not be premoistened prior to feeding (a bloat risk factor for large breed dogs).

I was not sure whether to be offended or amused. Nonetheless, I answered the question. I slave over my posts. First I have an idea. In marked contrast to my friends who (by their own admissions) spill their ideas onto the page, paragraph after paragraph, without rewriting, and then post the finished results. I squeeze my posts out in bits and pieces. I can spend G-d-knows-how-many-hours jumping around a piece, writing and rewriting and rewriting some more. For example, I can be sitting there, just minding my own business and writing Paragraph Two when suddenly a great idea for a line will barge into my brain and I would put it into Paragraph Two, but I realize that Great Idea belongs in Paragraph Four or Five or in a paragraph all of its own. So I take a leave from Paragraph Two to get Great Idea sorted. Or…while in the middle of Paragraph Three I will jump back to Paragraph One to make some changes. I mean, I thought Paragraph One was okay, but it is not really 'going' with Paragraph Three and I like Paragraph Three's tone more than Paragraph One's. Or…while reviewing my article for the trillionth time, I realize that I do not want my message to be x; I want it to be y and that a comprehensive rewrite is required.
Really, with all of the balagan, it is a miracle that anything gets posted at all.
My friends offered a solution: stop editing! This is not high school. No one is grading you! Why do the boring stuff? Blogging is your hobby. Who is to tell you that you cannot stick to those parts of writing you enjoy?
Exactly. I enjoy editing.
Yes, the initial creative process during which I just dump a lump of words onto a page and pound them into a general shape is fun. But to me, the heart of writing, the part that I love, is the editing process during which I mold and smooth and view the piece from the various angles to ensure the result is pleasing and effective. Is the flow of words smooth? Are the rhythm and tone consistent throughout the piece? I check to see if I have repeated words, phrases or sentence structure. Where I have done so as a rhetorical device, I ask myself if the repetition contributes anything. Where it does not— where it represents laziness or carelessness— I weed it out. I check my spelling and (sometimes) my grammar.
Even more critical than style is content. I am writing for a reason. I ask myself if I am conveying the message I want to convey. Is my point clear? Do I have a point? Do I want a point? Sometimes I like to write about nothing. Alternatively, perhaps I have too many points and each distracts from the other? Assuming that there is a point to get to, is the path clear? Have I left too many random, lumpy bits of opinion, exaggeration, humor or other literary debris lying around that people might trip over while en route? For whom are the path and the point intended? Who is my audience? Is my goal to preach to the choir or to the unbelievers? Are the form of the message and its audience well-matched? I read and re-read and think and analyze and rip apart and glue together paragraphs and I do this for hours and hours and hours.
And I like it.
My friends do not understand me, but truthfully, I do not understand them. Why would you choose a hobby that involves you doing something that you hate to do or even that you like to do, but not that much? Why write if you do not enjoy writing? Life is short and very, very busy; why waste your precious free time on things you cannot be passionate about? In my world, even if I never finish the piece, an hour spent writing something is never wasted; the process is as important and as enjoyable as the destination. Furthermore, if you have something to say, something that is important enough for you to say publicly, it seems reasonable to me that you would take the time to make sure that you are actually saying it. If not, why bother?
If not, why are you writing?

Canada: Celebrate Over 150 Years!
Halifax, Nouvelle-Écosse
Duration 7 hours
Celebrate the country with a range of pure Canadian experiences that includes visiting early settlements and landmarks and shopping for Canadian delicacies. After departing from the pier, you will settle in for a circuitous, picturesque drive through Halifax, admiring historic sites such as the Halifax Citadel, where the British built a fort and founded the town, and the Province House, Canada's oldest legislative building. Along the way, you will hear fascinating stories about Halifax's history, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police and why Nova Scotia sends Boston a spruce tree every Christmas.
Continuing on, you will arrive at another extraordinarily scenic area, Old Town Lunenburg. Established in 1753, it is North America's best surviving example of a planned British colonial settlement. The original layout and appearance has been retained so faithfully that UNESCO designated Lunenburg a World Heritage site. During free time, you can explore the brightly colored Old Town, which is easy to navigate because the streets follow a rectangular grid pattern designed in Britain. You can expect to see 18th-century wooden buildings and perhaps a replica of the Bluenose, Canada's legendary racing ship that was launched here in 1921.
Later, in lovely Mahone Bay, you may shop or dine on your own, prior to visiting Acadian Maple. This family-owned business sells all sorts of Canadian delicacies, many made with maple syrup. Before returning to the pier, more free time awaits you in Peggy's Cove, a quaint fishing community with one of the country's most photographed lighthouses.

Without nary a "The game's afoot, Watson!" or even "Elementary, my dear Watson", but with a nod towards "When you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth" at the conclusion, we are shown a Sherlock Holmes that lies beneath the cultured and stoic Victorian and Edwardian image we have built of him in his latest incarnation in Sherlock Holmes.
I will admit that when I saw that Robert Downey, Jr. (Tony Stark was a perfect role for him) was to play the part so beautifully embodied by the late Jeremy Brett that I trembled and silently swore that nothing good could come from it. Holmes had been done good and badly, but I thought this another one of those ridiculous "reboot" movies that are all the rage and it would destroy the image of The Great Detective.
Happily, I was proven wrong.
While the image of Holmes that is presented in the film is not the one that most people have (no deerstalker hat makes an appearance, nor does his great Inverness cloak), the person is very truthful to the Holmes of the written word. For example, Watson notes that Holmes was an expert in boxing, and there are several incidences in the canon when he employs that activity, so it is not too farfetched to have him involved in such an endeavor as portrayed in the film. What I thought was well done was the way in which Holmes planned, with extremely logical and cold, scientific reasoning his actions and the results and then carried them out. That was the way his mind worked.
What was refreshing was there was no attempt to "reboot" the Holmes-Watson companionship, but to assume it had been going on and that Watson was in the midst of his getting ready to marry Mary Morstan (from The Sign of Four, the second Holmes novel) and move to "new digs". And, at the end, that is still the case. This episode is just that – an episode in the larger universe of Holmes and Watson.
Irene Adler is there, of course. And, fortunately, there is no un-Holmesian romantic attraction at all, but an admiration of the two for each other, as is befitting "the woman." And even though Professor James Moriarty (who made only one infamous appearance in the whole of the written canon) is introduced, we know nothing of his intentions, thus setting up a hopeful sequel.
Two other small trifling points I would like to make. One is that in this movie, all the CGI is done so well that you don't notice it. Mostly. There are a few times when it is evident, but it doesn't overwhelm you with its cleverness – it simply is there to enhance and make the texture of the movie all that much more enjoyable. Secondly, if any of you never thought you would hear Holmes decry, "Data! Data! Data! I can't make bricks without clay" need to go back to "The Adventure of the Cooper Beeches.'
Sherlock Holmes has a storyline fully aware of where it comes. And it also shows that special effects add to and enhance a well-conceived plot, rather than take it over (as in Avatar.) Holmes I will buy on DVD if for nothing else than to regal in its careful texture of both story and setting. And, of course, to watch The Great Detective once again move through the alleys and streets of London.

WASHINGTON (AP) – Scott Harrison knows his charity has funded nearly 7,000 clean water projects in some of the poorest areas of the world in the past six years. How many of those wells are still flowing with drinking water months or years later, though? That's a tough question to answer.
His organization called Charity: Water has funded projects in 20 different countries. It's committed to spend 100 percent of each donation in the field to help reach some of the 800 million people who don't have clean water and resort to drinking from swamps, unhealthy ponds or polluted rivers. Organizers send donors photos and GPS coordinates for each water project they pay for.
Still, Harrison, a former New York promoter for nightclubs and fashion events, didn't want to guess at how many water projects were actually working. He wanted to give donors more assurance, knowing as many as a third of hand pumps built by various governments or groups stop functioning later. His solution: why not create sensors to monitor the water flow at each well? But raising millions for a new innovation could prove impossible.
Few funders want to pay for a nonprofit's technical infrastructure or take the risk of funding a dreamy idea. They'd rather pay for real work on the ground.
This month, Google stepped in with major funding to create and install sensors on 4,000 wells across Africa by 2015 that will send back real-time data on the water flow at each site. The $5 million grant could be a game changer for Charity: Water to ensure its projects are sustainable, to raise money for maintenance and to empower developing countries to maintain their infrastructure with new data.
"You could imagine a water minister salivating over this technology, even a president of a country being able to hold his water ministers in different districts accountable, saying, 'Hey, look, I want a dashboard in my office where I can see how my small, rural water projects are performing,'" Harrison said.
The grant is part of the first class of Google's Global Impact Awards totaling $23 million to spur innovation among nonprofits. Experts say the new annual grants are a part of a growing trend in venture philanthropy from funders who see technology as an instrument for social change. Such donors say they can have a bigger impact funding nonprofits that find ways to multiply their efforts through technology.
The gifts also represent a shift in the tech company's approach to philanthropy.
Google's Director of Charitable Giving Jacquelline Fuller said the company analyzed its giving, including $115 million in grants last year. It decided it could have a greater impact by funding nonprofit tech innovation, rather than specific issue areas or existing projects. Its grants will come with volunteer consulting on each project from Google engineers or specialists.
"We're really looking for the transformational impact" from clever uses of technology, Fuller said. But that sometimes involves risk that new technologies and innovations may not work.
"Informed risk is something Google understands," she said. "There's actually very few dollars available that's truly risk capital, lenders willing to take informed risk to help back some of these new technologies and innovations that may not pan out."
The largest source of funding for U.S. nonprofits is government, mostly through contracts that come with strings attached. Individual donors contribute significant support to charities as well, and the nation's foundations give about 14 percent of overall philanthropy to nonprofits.
"There is sort of a new breed of philanthropists coming into the field," including many who made money in the tech sector at a young age, said Bradford Smith, president of the Foundation Center, an information clearinghouse on nonprofits. "There I think you're seeing a really interesting sort of confluence of almost kind of a venture, risk-taking approach and technology as an instrument for social change."
Google zeroed in on projects that could develop new technology to scale up smaller projects targeting the environment, poverty, education and gender issues.
It's giving $5 million to the World Wildlife Fund to develop high-tech sensors for wildlife tagging to detect and deter poaching of endangered species. Another $3 million is going to a project at the Smithsonian Institution to develop DNA barcoding as a tool to stop illegal trading of endangered plants or animals smuggled across borders. That project could give six developing countries DNA testing materials with fast results to use as evidence to prosecute smugglers.
To fuel future innovation, Google is giving Donorschoose.org $5 million to create 500 new Advanced Placement courses in math, science and technology for U.S. schools that are committed to enrolling girls and minority students.
The charity GiveDirectly will receive $2.4 million to expand its model of direct mobile cash transfers to poor families in Kenya as a new method for lifting people out of poverty.
A charity run by actress Geena Davis that studies gender portrayals in the media will use a $1.2 million Google grant to develop new automated software that analyzes how females are portrayed in children's media worldwide, speeding up a previously manual process.
"It was looking prohibitively expensive to do a global study," Davis said, adding that developing new technology seemed like a far-flung wish. "It seems so science future that we weren't really raising money to do it."
While the grant may be a relatively small investment for a major tech company, it represents one of the largest gifts ever for the Geena Davis Institute on Gender in Media.
Innovation and technology among nonprofits have long been underfunded with traditional funders often feeling averse to risk and more often seeking to fund specific types of existing programs.
Momentum has been building for the past decade for funders pursuing venture philanthropy, said Matt Bannick, managing partner of the Omidyar Network founded by eBay founder Pierre Omidyar. Since 2004, the group has given out $310 million in grants to nonprofits, including the Sunlight Foundation and DonorsChoose.
Seeking out ideas to fund, rather than existing projects, turns traditional notions of philanthropy on its head, Bannick said.
"Rather than looking for organizations that could do this specific work that we're hoping to get accomplished, let's look for fabulous entrepreneurs ... that have a new and innovative idea that we can get behind," he said.
Silicon Valley philanthropists are fueling some growth in funding for nonprofit innovators, but some older foundations also have turned to funding innovation and nonprofit entrepreneurs.
The John S. and James L. Knight Foundation in Miami, born from a newspaper chain, has turned its focus to media innovation. The Alfred P. Sloan Foundation, founded in 1934 by a General Motors chief, focuses on science and technology to drive the nation's prosperity. Sloan was an early funder of the Smithsonian's DNA barcoding project.
Such funders are betting that early seed money can have a big impact with the right ideas and entrepreneurs.
"If there was more funding," Bannick said, "there would be a lot more great ideas that could emerge."

In Ironies of Faith, celebrated Dante scholar and translator Anthony Esolen provides a profound meditation upon the use and place of irony in Christian art and in the Christian life. Beginning with an extended analysis of irony as an essentially dramatic device, Esolen explores those manifestations of irony that appear prominently in Christian thinking and art: ironies of time (for Christians believe in divide Providence, but live in a world whose moments pass away); ironies of power (for Christians believe in an almighty God who took on human flesh, and whose "weakness" is stronger than death); ironies of love (for man seldom knows whom to love, or how, or even whom it is that in the depths of his heart he loves best); and the figure of the Child (for Christians believe that unless we become like unto one of these little ones, we shall not enter the Kingdom of God).
Esolen's finely wrought study draws from Augustine, Dante, Shakespeare, Tolkien, Mauriac, Milton, Herbert, Hopkins, Dickens, and Dostoyevsky, among others, including the anonymous author of the medieval poem Pearl. Such authors, he believes, teach us that the last laugh is on the world, because that grim old world, taking itself so seriously that even its laughter is a sneer, will finally—despite its proud resistance—be redeemed. That is the ultimate irony of faith.
Additional Information
|ISI Books
|What They're Saying...
"Anthony Esolen's Ironies of Faith is a much-needed Christian response to radical contemporary theorists whose corrosive irony can only destroy itself; by teaching us how to read the great works of the Christian imagination, he helps to save them from those who seek their anihilation."
"Esolen has still written a significant work that is not only an accessible but also an indispensable encouragement to faith and literary appreciation—awakening us to unsuspected truths that we have been too dulled by habit to notice."

To Christine's dismay, Funft and Dai Gu seem to be attracted to one another, and Funft seemingly spontaneously proposes marriage, though both appear to have ulterior motives in mind. The Senate panics (especially the Dai Gu fan club), not sure that there's any way to make this work. The Queen of Scholti arrives out of nowhere, and takes over proceedings. (Her fan club is delighted by her hair and designer shoes.) Tryton and Bruno wonder if her family's political power has really declined as rumors have said and find out the hard way that they're already in unarmed combat range. Her guards note that they would never have gotten away with this kind of reckless driving if this weren't a war zone. Back in Laan, Funft notes that to really get public support they need something like Dai Gu dramatically rescuing her from kidnappers, like those conveniently located Booray Knights nearby. Dai Gu is impressed by how far she's thought this through.

For a summer lunch, an appetizer for a more formal dinner, or a simple supper dish paired with a hearty salad, this tart is a versatile addition to anyone's repertoire. Because the crust is made with purchased puff pastry dough, it's extremely easy to make, even for crust-phobics. Since I prefer the taste of fresh tomatoes, I make this like a savory version of a fruit custard tart, arranging the raw sliced tomatoes on top just after the baked tart comes out of the oven, which heats the tomatoes but doesn't cook them. If you prefer the flavor of cooked tomatoes, arrange the sliced tomatoes on the dough, pour the custard filling over them, and bake. Although you can make this tart early in the day if you put the tomatoes in first and then cook them, this is not a recipe to make ahead if you're topping it with raw tomatoes-once you've put the tomatoes on top of the custard, it should be served within an hour or two.–Deborah Krasner
LC No Rules Note
This tempting, tomatoey treat is, as one of our testers says, 'a cross between a quiche and tomato tart.' We love recipes that don't fall squarely into one category – it makes it so much easier to justify serving them at all hours of day and night. Tomato tart fits right in as part of a fancy brunch, but is just as good eaten straight from the pie tin, for an 'I just couldn't wait till it cooled' supper. Experiment with different varieties of tomato until you find your favourite – or mix and match as you like. No rules here.
Fresh Tomato Tart
- Quick Glance
- Serves 6 to 8 as an appetizer
- 1 puff pastry sheet, thawed according to the package directions
- 1 cup basil leaves, washed and dried
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 3 tablespoons fruity and fragrant olive oil
- 3 extra-large eggs
- Coarse sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 2 large ripe tomatoes
- 1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a 9-inch porcelain or metal tart pan with the pastry. Do not grease the pan. Put the whole square sheet in the pan, cutting and patching as necessary to make it fit.
- 2. Combine the basil, cream, 2 1/2 tablespoons of the olive oil, eggs, and salt and pepper in the bowl of a food processor, and process until the basil is very finely chopped.
- 3. Pour this mixture into the pastry-lined pan, and bake for 30 to 40 minutes, until cooked through, golden, and fragrant. The tart will puff up in the oven, but will immediately deflate when it starts to cool.
- 4. While the tart is baking, use a sharp serrated knife to thinly slice the tomatoes. As soon as you remove the tart from the oven, arrange the tomato slices on top, working in a spiral from the outer edge to the center, overlapping the slices. Use the smallest pieces of tomato for the center. Drizzle the remaining 1/2 tablespoon olive oil over the tomatoes. Serve slightly warm.
If you make this recipe, snap a photo and hashtag it #LeitesCulinaria. We'd love to see your creations on Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter.

Charles Koch Instructs
Charles Koch, CEO of Koch Industries, has an excellent op-ed in tomorrow's Wall Street Journal. He explains the essentials of the philosophy that drives both his company's extraordinary success and his own commitment to upholding the principles of free enterprise: Years of tremendous overspending by federal, state and local governments have brought us face-to-face with an economic crisis. Federal spending will total at least $3.8 trillion this year–double what it »
Libya: A Dangerous Precedent?
I've been muted in critiquing the Obama administration's cautious response to uprisings in the Middle East, mostly because it hasn't been clear to me that a more aggressive course would have been better.

A Warning that Obama Won't Heed
Democrats love the regulatory state.

But no one believes that he has anything but cosmetic changes in mind: he is determined to extend federal regulation of the economy, »

Who's Afraid of a Government Shutdown?
For some time, the Democrats have been plotting to shut down the federal government–well, not really a shutdown, but the sort of temporary suspension of nonessential activities that the press calls a shutdown–in hopes that the public will blame the Republicans, as happened in 1995. Many observers, however, have argued that times are different now, and most voters don't want the GOP to be bullied into going along with another »

Andrew Exum, a former Ranger officer with combat experience in Afghanistan, reviewed it for the Wall Street Journal's Saturday Review section the weekend before last. Yesterday's New York Times Book Review featured the review by former Times combat correspondent (now New Yorker staff writer) Dexter Filkins »
The left's unhealthy Koch habit
It started last summer with Jane Mayer's New Yorker article "The billionaire Koch brothers' war against Obama." Now the battle of Wisconsin has given the occasion for the left's renewed assault on the Koch brothers. Yet the assault on the against the Koch brothers has virtually no truth in it. It is an ideological mugging akin to Barack Obama's assault on the Supreme Court's Ctiizens United opinion, with similar motives. »
Early Bird Media Alert
Some years ago, we did media alerts when we were going to be on national radio or TV shows. We generally don't do that now because we are, you know, blase. But tonight I am making an exception. Tomorrow morning at 6:30 Eastern time, 5:30 Central, I will be on Bill Bennett's Morning In America radio show to talk about events in Wisconsin and the Left's bizarre attack on the »
The Teddy Files: Even Worse Than You Thought!
After repeated attempts, Judicial Watch has managed to pry loose certain documents relating to Teddy Kennedy from the FBI. The FBI's original redactions plainly had nothing to do with national security, so the agency apparently was trying to protect Kennedy's reputation. The most entertaining documents relate to a trip Kennedy took to Latin America in 1961. He visited a number of countries, accompanied by his "political counselor." In each country, »
No Retreat, No Surrender: Part 2
Governor Scott Walker was on Meet the Press this morning. Host David Gregory immediately began parroting the Left's talking points, but Walker acquitted himself well: GREGORY: So that context is important, because there's collective bargaining, which you'd like to limit. And there are those, the specific contributions that you ask the unions. They said they would do that. They would meet those demands. So the question that comes up again and again, is if »

Toyota Prerunner Truck - The Black PearlPosted in Features on June 15, 2007
T'was three years ago when my camera and I went to Rialto Off-Road Raceway in search of a bounteous plunder of dirt and trucks. And plunder we did. While there was a scurvy dog or two, most of the trucks braving the whoops and jumps at ROR were capable creatures. At day's end, I returned to my lair with a cameraful of high-flying images.
During a lull in the action, I spied an intriguing truck trio sitting side by side by side in the afternoon sun. Shawn St. George's long-travel Ford Ranger was flanked by two Toyotas, which were owned and driven by two Kevins. Kevin Mick's hospital-white Extra Cab wasn't a visual standout at the time, but the truck clearly had the performance factor nailed. It simply carved the turns and landed the ROR jumps without a hiccough. Impressive? Absolutely.
Flash forward to '07, and the nondescript, hospital-white 'Yota has now gained a personality that complements its performance level but does not overshadow it. Beneath the monster-size wheel openings of the Giant Motorsports front clip and the metalflaked gloss black paint lies the same real-life off-road hardware that caught my initial attention: an ESB long-travel front end suspended by King coilovers coupled with a long-travel, leaf-sprung rear damped by a pair of King 2.5-inch bypass shocks. Still impressive.
What's next for Kevin and the Black Pearl? A long, treacherous voyage through the deep waters of education. Kevin's put the Pearl in the classified ads, hoping that the sacrifice will net enough cash for a daily driver, tuition, and textbooks. "After I graduate, I'd like to build a Class 8 truck," he reveals. "I'd like something that has a V8. Something with a lot of power."
There's nothing to do but applaud Kevin's decision. We immortalize trucks in our pages, but the underlying reality is that education is forever, while trucks come and go. Meanwhile, keep a weather eye out for the Black Pearl swashbuckling its way through the wide-open desert. The new captain is sure to enjoy the high seas ahead.

There's really no way to express in words the excitement we felt Sunday night when we saw our name on the NCAA Selection Show. The Knoxville Regional was one of the last to be announced, and honestly, some of us had lost hope that we would go to a regional at all. However, when we saw Lipscomb on the screen our entire team was ecstatic.
I will never forget that moment as long as I live. It was the moment we realized we have the opportunity to live the dream every softball player wants. We get to play in the NCAA Tournament.
After our fate was determined, we started to get our minds right and went to practice Monday afternoon. We practiced Tuesday and Wednesday and then made the long journey to Knoxville, Tennessee.
One perk of making it to the NCAA Tournament is that the NCAA sort of picks up the tab, so each player gets their own bed! This was some of the best news we have heard. So needless to say, right now we are just having fun and enjoying the extra time we get to spend with each other.
Our team is very close. We love each other, and none of us were ready to stop playing together after we were eliminated from the Atlantic Sun Conference tournament.
Friday we will play Virginia Tech in the opening game of the Knoxville Regional. Yes, we did play Virginia Tech earlier this season, but a lot changes as the season goes on, so we really don't know what we will see or what will happen. That's what makes it fun.
As long as we just have fun and enjoy this dream we get to live out, I have no doubts we can accomplish great things. Softball is a game, and we are going to play this game and enjoy this ride for as long as we can.

study of the workplace. Rigor and methods of psychology are
applied to issues of critical relevance to business,
including talent management, coaching, assessment,
selection, training, organizational development,
performance, and work-life balance.
Symposium/forum. A symposium/forum is a multi-presenter session. This session type welcomes (and replaces) all submissions that in the past were submitted to: (a) symposium; (b) practice forum; (c) academic-practitioner collaborative forum; (d) education, teaching, and learning forum; and (e) theoretical advancement. Any multi-presenter session proposing research, practice, theory, and teaching-oriented content should be submitted here. Participants in a symposium/forum should include a chairperson and three to four presenters. A symposium/forum often includes discussants, but it does not have to do so. We encourage submissions in which diverse and novel perspectives are presented, including sessions in which the audience plays the role of discussant and the chair facilitates the discussion. Stand-alone papers are not assigned to symposia; such papers should be submitted as posters. Although individual presentations within a symposium/forum may have all authors from the same institution, the overall session must contain presenters from at least two different affiliations. This submission rule originally resulted from considerable feedback and concern about sessions becoming "advertisements" for products by a single company or research being presented from a single academic program. We intend the program to be science based and inclusive for all participants. Sufficient time should be allotted for audience participation. It is assumed that first authors indicated on a submission will serve as the actual presenter at the SIOP conference.
Planning is Paramount (See Guidelines Useful for All Types of Sessions)

WASHINGTON — Iran has told the United Nations' nuclear watchdog agency that it plans to add 3,000 faster centrifuges to its main uranium enrichment facility, a step that could shorten the time needed if Tehran decides to build a nuclear bomb.
Officials with the Vienna-based International Atomic Energy Agency said Thursday that Iranian authorities had informed them in a letter that Tehran would add IR-2m centrifuges, which spin three to five times faster than the current IR-1 model, to the enrichment hall at the Natanz nuclear complex.
Although Iran often has boasted of technological capabilities it doesn't have, Western governments are taking the announcement seriously. Diplomats said the disclosure deepened their concern that Tehran wasn't serious about resuming negotiations over demands to curb its nuclear program.
Diplomats from six world powers have been discussing holding new talks with Iran since November, but have yet to set a time and place.
Iran is known to have been experimenting for some time with the faster centrifuges, so the announcement was not entirely a surprise. Iran maintains that its program is for peaceful purposes.
If Iran mastered the technology, it could convert low-enriched uranium into the 25 kilograms of bomb-grade uranium needed for a bomb in four months, compared with the 12 months required with the current centrifuges, estimated Cliff Kupchan, an analyst with the Eurasia Group consulting firm. The country "could dash to a bomb considerably more quickly," he wrote in an analysis.
He wrote that although Iran's claims should be viewed with caution, "the announcement does, however, make the prospect for successful diplomacy even dimmer." He predicted that the six world powers that have been trying to negotiate boundaries on Iran's nuclear program will probably try to limit or halt installation of the new centrifuges in talks, a demand Iran would probably reject.
U.S. and Israeli officials have said they won't allow Iran to waste time indefinitely and have raised the possibility of a military attack at some point to slow the program.
Iran has a presidential election in June, and some foreign officials fear that if talks don't progress in the next few weeks there may be no realistic hope for serious negotiations until late summer at the earliest. Iran, meanwhile, could continue making progress on its nuclear program.

From the late 18th until the mid 19th century the two most common backsaws found in a joiner's toolbag would be a dovetail saw and a sash saw. The dovetail saw would be filed with fleam so that it could be used for all small work, not just dovetailing, and the sash saw would be used for everything else. In the modern shop with both power and hand tools saw we prefer a dedicated dovetail saw because a pure rip saw does an easier job at dovetailing, and for most larger work a pair of carcase saws works great. However for larger tenons the carcase saws are just not deep enough, and for the occasional back saw user a pair of carcase saws (rip and crosscut) reflect a fair investment. We are pleased to offer a 14" sash saw with a traditional combination filing for both ripping or crosscutting. This saw will be perfect for just about anything sawing you need to do in the shop except where you need a panel saw to cut long boards where a backed saw would get in the way.
The Gramercy Tools Sash saw is probably the lightest big backsaw on the current market. We made it light so that it is easier to use and the lightness means it is easier to sense the position of the blade. It's a closed handled saw so that it can take more force than the open handles used on smaller saws. We are also very pleased at the elegance of the handle, with its subtle detailing and carefully done lamb's tongue. On our saw the lamb's tongue doesn't touch the blade, it just licks it lightly, in a graceful motion, and isn't painfully cut by the blade. For all that our handles are machine made we think we have sculpted in more elegance than seen on a lot of hand made handles. The blade is canted for maximum utility. There is a traditional acid etch logo on the side of the blade. Like all the saws in the Gramercy Tools line this saw is hammer set and hand filed which gives it a far smoother cutting action (after it breaks in with a little use).
Length of blade 14", 13ppi, depth of cut at the toe 2.87" depth of cut at the heel 3.29". 5 degree's negative rake and 7 degrees fleam. Plate thickness: .020". Closed handle made of American Black Walnut. Hand finished, folded brass back. Saw teeth are hand filed and hammer set. Made in USA.

Sash saw
By: VP (Apr, 2016)
Amazing saw!!!!!. I just received it and made tenon and mortising joint. Also used it to make dovetail joint. I have used other high end saws and let me tell nothing matches Gramercy sash saw!!!! Please keep up the good work and continue making beautiful saw like this for generation to come. Thx
I own this product.
WOW. Couldn't be happier.
By: Will (Oct, 2015)
This saw is absolutely amazing. I love using this saw, it's perfect. I don't often feel compelled to write reviews, but I also am not often as pleased with a purchase & it's hands down the best saw i've ever used, and far outperforms my Lie-Nielsens. I also need to shout out to Brendan and Noah for their great customer service at the showroom. Made me feel even better my purchases, knowing who and where these wonderful tools come from. Keep up the good work, I'll be back asap.

Outstanding saw
By: Guillaume (Dec, 2013)
Please apology my poor english... This is realy an outstanding saw. I do had previous experience with also excellent backsaw, namely Bad Axe and Wenzloff and sons. Compared to sash from the other makers, this one have a very distinctive personality, by having a very thin kerf and being so lightweight. It rip and crosscut smotthly and efficiently. The deep of cut is whide enough but not overkill, making it able to handle 99% of my tenons cuts. It also shine in small jobs. In fact, as odd as it sound, its work quite well cutting dovetails in medium sized stock (5/8 - 3/4 inch). Having only one saw to own, this would certainely be it. But I'll keep telling my whife I Neeeeed all the other ones too... My sincere appreciation to the craftmens who build this saw, particulary to the skilled person who sharpen it.

Restored 14" sash saw
By: Chris Kenney (Jun, 2013)
My name is Chris Kenney. I purchased a 14" sash saw about 2 months ago. Approximately 3 weeks ago, a contractor who was doing some plumbing work around my workbench and accidentally spilled solder flux all over my saw face. The saw face was full of black hardened flux. I thought the saw was ruined. I called Gramercy and talked to Tim Corbett and explained what happened. He told me to send him the saw and he would look at it. I sent the saw back to Gramercy and a couple of days later I got a call saying the saw was ready. I really was not expecting much. When I opened the box, the saw was wrapped like a brand new saw. The entire saw face was clear and there was no trace of any damage. To say the least, I was very happy with the result. All I can say is great customer service, This is an heirloom tool to be passed down to your sons. I was even thinking of selling the damaged saw on E bay and buying a new saw. By the way, the saw cuts like a dream. I will be buying more product from Gramercy tools! 5 stars
I own this product.
Very Happy with This Saw
By: Jason (Mar, 2013)
I bought this saw to replace two underperforming custom made backsaws. The Gramercy sash saw is now my favorite saw. It is easy to start, yet still cuts aggressively and accurately. It easily takes the place of a tenon saw and a carcass saw and the cut surface is very smooth. Buy one and use it for the rest of your life. It's worth the investment.
I own this product.
I had no idea a saw could cut like this
By: Chris (Mar, 2013)
I've been looking for the best all-around backsaw for some time now. I finally decided on the Gramercy Sash saw and I couldn't be happier. This saw is not cheap and I deliberated for a while before I purchased it, I can honestly say it's worth every penny. It crosscuts wicked fast and rips like a dedicated ripsaw. This is a beautiful saw and its performance is even more striking.
I own this product.

Petro '10 Primed for Nationals Swimby Matt Wilson, Journal Review • March 19, 2008 Share:
Decatur Central graduate Adam Petro was unsure if he wanted to take his swimming to the collegiate level.
He enjoyed success in high school — placing 16th in the butterfly and 15th in the backstroke during the state meet his senior year.
He knew he wanted to attend Wabash because of its 85 percent rate into medical school and the gentleman's rule, which states "The student is expected to conduct himself at all times, both on and off the campus, as a gentleman and a responsible citizen," and is the only rule governing the conduct of students at Wabash according to the school's Web site.
Petro still wasn't planning on swimming at Wabash until he was approached by former Little Giant coach Peter Casares. He convinced Petro he would be a good fit in helping rebuild the Wabash swim program. So far the Little Giant sophomore psychology major has done his part.
He has school records in both the 200 butterfly and 200 backstroke. And this weekend he will make his second-straight trip to the Division III National Tournament.
After placing 13th in the 200 butterfly at last year's national championships, Petro will compete in the 100 butterfly, 200 butterfly and 200 backstroke at the Miami (Ohio) University Student Recreation Center in Oxford. The meet is hosted by the College of Wooster.
Casares left last summer to take the head coaching job at Division III Bates College in Lewiston, Maine. He was replaced by John Weitz, a coach familiar with the Division III national championships. As an assistant coach at Johns Hopkins University, Weitz attended the national championships his previous six years before coming to Wabash.
From what he has seen, Weitz said Petro is capable of competing with the swimmers at the national level.
"Adam is a very typical Wabash man, he works hard and he plays hard," Weitz said. "He really does a good job of balancing school, social and athletics. He might be shorter than every guy he is swimming against, but he works his tail off."
Petro left for nationals Tuesday. Today is to be more of an acclimation day, where he'll swim twice in the pool he has never competed in. Thursday is the opening day of the meet, but Petro will swim in no official events. He will compete in an exhibition 100 freestyle.
Friday he will swim in the 100 butterfly, then Saturday is his big day where he will swim in the 200 butterfly and 200 backstroke. Petro is seeded 28th in the 100 butterfly with his seed time of 51.29 seconds. He is seeded 13th in the 200 butterfly with his time of 1:52.18. In the 200 backstroke, he is seeded 15th with his time of 1:53.45.
The top eight swimmers from each event qualify for the championship races, while the next eight compete in the consolation finals.
Petro made a national-qualifying cut time for the 200 backstroke during a meet in December. Since it happened early in the season, Weitz and Petro both were unsure if the time would hold up. Petro bettered his chances of making nationals after reaching a "B" cut qualifying time of 1:53.58 in the 200 butterfly during the North Coast Athletic Conference Meet.
Making certain he would be in the pool for nationals, Petro bettered his conference time by swimming a 1:52.18 during the Feb. 23 Kenyon Invitational, which was an optional last-chance meet. With the way the meet is run, once a swimmer qualifies for nationals in one event he can choose any three events to participate in.
"I want to place in the top eight in all three of my events," Petro said, "because you get a plaque if you finish in the top eight."
But Petro is thinking about more than just himself this weekend. With the help of Petro's class, Wabash started making strides of improvement last year. Bringing in another strong recruiting class this season, the Little Giants progressed more. Scoring the most points it has since joining the NCAC in 1999, Wabash placed third at the conference meet with 1,066 points.
And with another strong recruiting class expected to come in next season, Petro is ready to help Wabash become recognized on the national level.
"From what I understand, we have come a long way in the last five years," Petro said. "We are very proud with what we have done and I think it's very important that we get recognized on the national board. And I would also like to take some points away from the DePauw swimmers."
Weitz said Petro already swimming in one national meet has allowed him to jump over the first hurdle that comes along with competing at nationals. He said anytime a swimmer goes to a meet that has the word national in front of it for the first time, they get a feeling of intimidation. Everything now is mental.
Weitz knows that Petro has the physical tools to come back with an even stronger performance than he had Feb. 23 at Kenyon. Petro now has to believe he can get the job done. They have been working this week on turns off the wall and being stronger underwater.
"We are just trying to find little ways that he can improve from his conference meet," Weitz said. "Our focus this entire season was to do well at the conference meet, now the goal is to repeat that process over and make your time even better."
Casares told Petro last year he was a swimmer capable of making the national meet. Never imagining himself as that type of a swimmer, Petro didn't believe his former coach. He made the consolation finals, placing 13th with his time of 1:52.77.
"The one thing you have to do is enjoy the moment, I know I smiled a lot last year," Petro said. "This is something that you have worked for, so this is supposed to be the highest point of your season, so you have to have fun with it."
