FCC CIO Won't Head to NGA After All
David Bray revealed a change of plans to the FCC staff.
The National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency may have to find a new chief ventures officer.
In June, Federal Communications Commission Chief Information Officer David Bray announced he would fill NGA's role but changed his mind in recent weeks, according to an email Bray sent to FCC staff Thursday, obtained by Nextgov.
"I've communicated to the NGA director earlier this week that I will be pursuing a different future career. A big thank you for everything that each of you do to help move FCC forward," Bray said in his email.

Instead, Bray will pursue private consulting roles in machine learning and data integration strategies, and will become the executive director of the People-Centered Internet, a coalition founded by tech icon Vint Cert.
Bray initially accepted the position with NGA in early June, but later deferred his start date to late September after the "sudden arrival" of his adopted son. He has been on family leave since.
In a statement, Bray told Nextgov he received news of a potential adoption in June while attending a data conference in Dublin, also attended by Cerf.
"Since then, my family life has changed in several good ways," Bray told Nextgov. "While I had previously planned to start a different government role this summer, the opportunity to join the People-Centered Internet coalition as executive director represents a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to work with the tremendous PCI Board and team to advocate, share expertise, and identify projects to demonstrate how the internet can be more people-centered."
Bray became the FCC's top tech official in 2013 during a tumultuous time for the independent agency, becoming its ninth CIO in eight years. Over the years, the agency shifted its IT to the cloud and reduced its legacy tech spending more than 35 percent.
Bray's departure comes as lawmakers want answers about why FCC's commenting site stopped accepting net neutrality comments from the public in May. At the time, Bray announced the site was subject to a distributed denial-of-service attack, but the agency has yet to provide evidence. Sen. Brian Schatz, D-Hawaii, and Rep. Frank Pallone, D-N.J. Thursday requested the Government Accountability Office investigate the matter.
NGA did not comment on Bray's move.

Ho, ho, ho! Santa is coming to town–and staying for a while! Union Station in St. Louis is now Santa's second home complete with Santa's Workshop, Mrs. Claus' kitchen and more elves than you can shake a stick at. It's all part of Holiday's at Union Station and the Santa Express Train Ride.
I got an exclusive sneak peek at Union Station and I'm here to say it LOOKS AWESOME. The old mall is barely recognizable now that it's dressed up as the North Pole! Most of it's store fronts have been converted into rooms of Santa's workshop and village. The Fudgery is the only hold over from the 1980's and has been taken over by elves. One of the main floor restaurants has been converted into Babbo Natale's Pizza Parlor where guests can purchase gooey slices of St. Louis style pizza. And outside, the former paddle boat pond is being turned into a fire and water show, which will be a permanent attraction as Union Station becomes our new favorite family entertainment complex.
The Santa Express at Union Station
The biggest draw to Union Station is the real train ride. Instead of a Polar Express theme, this year we'll have "Twas the Night Before Christmas." The train will take families to Santa's house and there will be singing, dancing and book reading like last year. New decorations along the tracks will be upgraded to laser projection light shows. I'm really looking forward to seeing the changes!
After the ride you'll get a token to visit Union Station, er, the North Pole…and visit Mrs. Claus Kitchen for cookies and hot chocolate, then a photo op with Santa. Picture packages will be extra. You might want to book those tickets now. Prices range from $39 to $89 and kids under 2 are free with an adult ticket.
The North Pole Village
Entrance to the village is free with your Santa Express train ticket, or you can just visit the North Pole for $5 a person. And there's a LOT to see and do. Most of the activities have fees, but quite a few things are included with your ticket.
- Santa's Workshop Experience and Elf Academy: Learn elf skills and build a toy train to take home. RSVP required. ($19 for adults, $15 for kids under 12)
- Santa's Reindeer Round-up: Search the village for Donner, Blitzen and the whole gang. Find them all and get a prize. ($5 each)
- Mrs. Claus' Kitchen at Gingerbread Junction: Train riders can pick up their complementary cookies and cocoa here. More treats and cupcakes are for sale. You can also buy a gingerbread kit to decorate for $16. On Saturday's Mrs. Claus will read stories and autograph copies of Twas the Night Before Christmas–$12 per kid and includes the book.
- Santa Land: Have your photo taken with Santa. The experience is free, photos are extra. Visiting Santa is included with the train ride, and everyone else can make an appointment from 3 to 5pm each day.
- Elf's Clubhouse: Play games with Santa's helpers and have refreshments. Included in the VIP train tickets, or $10 per person.
- Babbo Natale's Pizza Parlor: St. Louis Style pizza, sold by the slice.
- The Fudgery: You know these guys.
- Santa's Toy Shop: A gift shop.
Fun things included with your ticket–>
- North Pole Post Office: mail a letter to Santa before it's too late!
- Santa's Office: find out if you're on the naught list and grab a selfie.
- Santa's Sleigh: grab a photo with the big guy's ride.
- Santa's Weather Station: track the weather at the North Pole and watch the radar for reindeer.
- Santa's Maze: look for the Northern Lights in a walk through maze.
- Peppermint Putt-Putt: mini golf elf style.
- Model Trains: on display through out the village.
- Plus 100,000 twinkle lights, 60 Christmas Trees, thousands of props!
Glacier Park
This part of the experience is still under construction, so I only have this construction photo to show you. It's the courtyard area of the old mall, under the train shed.
Tickets to Glacier Park will be $5 each, with kids under 2 free. Admission is included with train tickets.
There will be three activities here: Ice Skating, Ice Slide and the light show.
- Ice Skating is $10 for adults and $5 for kids for a 2 hour session. Rent skates for $5 or BYO. The portable rink will be 4700 square foot.
- The Ice Slide is snow tubing on a 95 foot slide, 9 feet height. Parents can get a double tube to take small kids. A ticket is $7 for adults and $5 for kids and will get you 12 runs at the slide.
- The Fire & Water Music Show will be held over a one-acre pond and has 100 feet water falls, 50 nozzles and a 100 feet of lights. It's gonna be awesome.
Times and Dates
Holidays at Union Station starts November 18. Trains and the North Pole Village will stay open until December 30 and Glacier Park will be open until January 6. The Village and Glacier Park will be open Wednesday to Friday, from 3-9:30pm, and from 2-9:30pm on the weekends. See the website for train schedules and tickets.

The Legendary Pink Dots have toured the United States countless times, but apart from occasional opening sets at Dots shows, Edward Ka-Spel has never done a solo tour here until now. Needless to say, given the rather rabid cult following the Dots and their enigmatic frontman have acquired over the years, this was an event not to be missed by Dots fans. Joined by fellow Pink Dots Silverman on keyboards and Raymond Steeg and the soundboard, as well as Coven of One's Nicoletta Stephanz on the theremin, Ka-Spel delivered a short but energetic set of bizarre electronics, surrealistic stories, and the occasional Dots hit. Starting the set off with an eighteen-minute experimental piece called "My Captain's Eyes" (from his recent solo album Caste O' Graye Skreeenes), Ka-Spel mesmerized the crowd with his signature analog burblings before launching into more familiar territory by playing such crowd favorites as "Suicide Pact" and "Atomic Roses." Perhaps the high point of the show, at least judging by audience reaction, was when the crowd recognized the opening notes of the Dots' hit "The Third Secret" (from The Maria Dimension). While a great many "experimental" artists seem to think that avoiding eye contact with the audience while hunched over a laptop computer is all that is required for a live show, Edward Ka-Spel is a consummate showman, regaling the crowd with stories about smuggling fruit flies through the Nevada border into California, alternately whispering and shrieking his lyrics, and switching places with his theremin player for an impromptu solo. Despite what seemed an awfully short set, Ka-Spel's show was more than worth the ticket price, and for those of us who are longtime Dots fans it was lovely to see him work his magic in such an intimate setting.

text: Cryptically-titled full-length debut from this Minneapolis band. I remember I generated quite a stir by saying that their first EP sounded like Jerry's Kids meets Gauze, and those are still the two references that jump to mind when I listen to this full-length... the drumming is fast and manic yet very tight, and the riffs are almost psychedelic in the way that this rapid-fire sequences of tightly-played chords just whips you repeatedly in the face. Throw in a vocalist that is gritty and powerful while still being clear and authoritative and you have quite the ripper of a hardcore full-length. Forward Records

The end of a wild campaign happily near, her presidential prize tantalizingly close, Hillary Clinton took the stage in Pembroke Pines on Saturday afternoon — torrential downpour be damned — to ask voters one more time to stick with her.
"We're seeing tremendous momentum," she proclaimed.
Across the Florida peninsula, Donald Trump gathered several thousand fans to remind them the state is his second home — and to promise a win for the millions of voters who believed in his unlikely candidacy.
"It is time for change, it is time for new leadership," he declared. "Hillary Clinton is the candidate of yesterday. We are the movement of the future. And they've never seen a movement like this."
As both candidates devoted part of the final Saturday of the race to the nation's biggest battleground, the presidency seemed within closer reach for Clinton. Propelled by a surge of Hispanic and independent voters — many of them in South Florida — Democrats held a narrow lead Saturday among the demographics of Florida voters who have already cast ballots by mail and in person. A Sunshine State loss would essentially put victory out of Trump's reach.
But making predictions is foolish in purple Florida, where four years ago the presidential race was decided by about 74,309 votes — or less than 1 percentage point. And Saturday's bad weather might have hurt Clinton in crucial Miami-Dade and Broward counties: The rainstorm forced her to cut short her Pembroke Pines rally, where she managed to speak for all of seven minutes.
"I want to be president for everybody," she told an outdoor crowd sheltered under umbrellas and makeshift ponchos at C.B. Smith Park. Her voice was raspy as she fought not to be drowned out by the pounding rain. "So let's get out! Let's vote for the future! Let's vote for what we want for our country!"
In Tampa, Trump derided Clinton's Friday night concert in Cleveland, which featured Jay Z and Beyoncé, as a meaningless, celebrity-studded affair. Bon Jovi was playing for her Saturday night in St. Petersburg.
"We don't need Jay Z to fill up arenas," Trump boasted. "We do it the old-fashioned way."
Both rallies came together with short notice. For the last frantic hours before Election Day, campaigns strategically place the candidates in the states where they need the most visibility to push their remaining voters to the polls.
Democrats didn't overtake Republicans in Florida ballots cast until midday Friday — far later than they had in 2012, when in-person early voting days were fewer — and as of Saturday morning were ahead by less than 8,000 votes. In contrast, Democrats led Republicans by more than 100,000 votes at the same point in 2012.
Trump plans to return Monday to Sarasota. President Barack Obama will campaign Sunday in Orlando. The last day of early voting is usually among the busiest — if not the busiest — in part because black churches, labor unions and other liberal groups organize caravans known as "souls to the polls."
Blue South Florida, where Democrats can amass the biggest number of votes, is key for Clinton, as demonstrated by her frequent trips to the region. Her Saturday rally marked the third Clinton appearance in Broward in a span of just six days.
"If you could build a Donald Trump-style firewall around Dade, Broward, Orange and Osceola," said Democratic consultant Steve Schale, who analyzes the pre-election numbers on a daily basis, referring to counties in the Miami and Orlando areas, "what the rest of the state would do wouldn't matter."
Part of the reason the Florida outcome remains difficult to predict is that so many more voters are casting ballots early, both by mail and in person, upending the 2012 electoral model. More than 650,000 Miami-Dade voters had already cast ballots by early Saturday — a 39 percent increase over the total number of ballots cast before Election Day in the county four years ago. In Broward, there was a 23 percent increase.
The Miami-Dade elections department said Friday was its biggest early-voting day ever: More than 43,000 people voted.
Though Miami-Dade is not as Democratic as Broward, its rise in no-party-affiliated Hispanics reflects a trend throughout the state. Democrats believe those voters lean toward their party, even if they're technically independent.
As African-American turnout lagged and Democrats failed to surpass Republicans at the end of last weekend — when South Florida also experienced bad weather — Clinton made an urgent call to the polls Tuesday night in Fort Lauderdale. On Thursday, President Obama echoed her message in Miami and Jacksonville. By Friday, Democrats had taken the lead — and started sounding more optimistic.
As of Saturday morning, Democrats had squeezed ahead in early voting by building up big leads in Democratic-heavy media markets: Miami, Palm Beach and Tallahassee. Republicans were up in Tampa and only slightly behind in Orlando, while racking up votes in their strongholds of Fort Myers, Jacksonville and Pensacola.
In Pines, Clinton touted that early voting was "breaking records in some places."
The dark skies opened only moments before she took the stage. A number of attendees gave off the distinct aroma of weed, presumably believing that campaigning on a Saturday is a joint effort.
Before the rally, Clinton stopped in Republican territory near the West Miami Community Center early voting site where Marco Rubio cast his ballot Monday. She was met by a Colombian-style pachanga. Later, Clinton dropped in on her Little Haiti field office.
"Haiti has been close to my heart for a very long time," Clinton said. "And we really feel a sense of connection to Haiti and all of the challenges that Haiti has faced — the continuing terrible consequences of weather, the earthquake in 2010 — so I want to be a good partner with the people of Haiti."
Trump has tried to win over Haitian Americans — or at least keep them from voting for Clinton — citing misgivings among some Haitians about the Clinton Foundation's and State Department's work in the country. Miami is home to the largest Haitian community outside Haiti, and Haitian Americans vote reliably Democratic. Trump met Haitian-American leaders in September and has repeatedly mentioned them in speeches since.
While Trump made no similar retail stops in Tampa, he did give a nod to Miami Republicans from the stump. After weeks of work to shore up his support among Cuban Americans, the most conservative of Hispanic voters, the candidate seemed pleased with winning the backing of a Bay of Pigs veterans group.
"The Cubans just endorsed me," he said.
Tampa Bay Times staff writers Alex Leary and Adam C. Smith contributed to this report from Tampa.

AUBURN, AL (WTVM) - Auburn police have arrested a suspect in a three-year-old rape case.
Thirty-one-year-old Curtis Williams has been arrested by the Auburn Police Department, for rape robbery and burglary.
Chief Tommy Dawson tells News Leader 9, Curtis is responsible for the rape of a young Auburn woman back in March of 2007.
In 2008, Investigators got a call from the Department of Forensic Sciences informing them DNA taken in the case matched Williams.
Williams was behind bars at the Limestone State Prison in Alabama, serving time for breaking and entering into vehicles.
Dawson says Williams was released this weekend from prison and Auburn Detectives were there to re-arrest him.
Dawson told News Leader 9, Williams was taken to the Lee County Detention facility, where he is now free on a $50,000 bond.
News Leader 9 is following this story. We'll have the latest information as soon as it becomes available.

All I can say is WOW!I have never seen so much talk about the controversies of celebrating Christmas and other "issues" pertaining to the Christmas season. I have been part of conversations about using "X" instead of Christ when writing Christmas (ie. XMas), the use of trees during the celebration of Christmas and even the celebration of Christmas at all. Needless to say, I am perplexed at a lot of views. I will break each of these down for you and tell you the "issues" surrounding them.
I'll start with a big peeve of mine. Using "X" in Christmas. Yes, I know the origins. Yes, I also know that you are not Greek and that the X is probably the only abbreviation you use. So, why use it at all? Wouldn't the Greeks be wrong in shortening Christ to X as well? It is like using "C" in English to abbreviate Christ. Why not carry it further and use "O" for God? After all that's what the first letter of the Greek word for Theos is. Rationalize however you want, but it is still abbreviating Christ, no matter how you look at it. It is a step in the wrong direction and yes, I am sure that God minds.
Next is the use of Christmas trees. Seems like there are a few that want to link the use of Christmas trees to Jeremiah 10 -
Jeremiah 10:2-4
" Do not learn the way of the Gentiles;
Do not be dismayed at the signs of heaven,
For the Gentiles are dismayed at them.
3 For the customs of the peoples are futile;
For one cuts a tree from the forest,
The work of the hands of the workman, with the ax.
4 They decorate it with silver and gold;
They fasten it with nails and hammers
So that it will not topple.
First off, when this was written Christmas trees were not even being used, since Jesus had not even been born yet. Second of all, this is not a warning against Christians using Christmas trees. These verses deal with actual worship of these adorned trees, as gods. So, get a grip, smack yourself around a little bit and remember that taking verses out of context is a big no-no.
Lastly, I have heard objections of even celebrating Christmas because it is a pagan holiday. Once again, I am well versed in the origins of the pagan festivals on the Winter Solstice and the worship of the sun god. Good thing I do not worship the sun or think the Winter Solstice any different than any other day or time. So, whew, I'm off the hook now. Well, apparently not. They then throw in that the Christmas season is so overly commercialized and we shouldn't participate in that. Once again, good thing I am not like "everyone" or they might have me there.
The Christmas season has been very commercialized over the past several decades and there is no end in sight. But should this dissuade people from celebrating the birth of the Savior? Even if it did not happen on December 25th? I would liken it to any Sunday morning church service across the globe. Will I stop going to church simply because most of those lining the pews on Sunday morning would really rather be somewhere else, doing something else, are recuperating from a hangover or just there to make an appearance so they will look holy? Heaven forbid I base what I do, say or believe on what the lost and perishing of this world are doing. I celebrate the birth of the Savior that died and shed His blood to cover my sins. What the stores and throngs of people do to commercialize this day will have to be answered for by them.
About 15 years ago, + or - a few years, while still unconverted I wrote a poem about the X in Christmas. I was unconverted at the time, but still felt it wrong that Christ was being replaced by an X. I was raised "in the church" after all and even though I was still under the burden of sin God had granted me the grace to see that it was wrong. Now I will be inundated with comments or remarks buy people telling me how the Greek this and the Greek that, but however you try to justify it does not make it right. Those that profess Christ should want Him forefront in anything and everything and want His Name proclaimed - not an X. People fight tooth and nail defending this practice and all the while are digging a deeper hold to crawl out of. Why would someone that has been forgiven by the grace of God and blood of Christ want to remove mention of His Name? Why would they do it for convenience sake? It makes no sense at all. If you are one of those then please pray about what you are doing. The lost and perishing see professing Christians do this and think it is fine.
I do have a question. Why do people say "ex-mas"? Is it because the "x" is short for Christ? Because in my estimation as a non English major (and one who talks like a hick anyway) that saying "ex" and saying Christ take about the same time, use about the same amount of breath and have the same amount of syllables.
Here is my poem that I wrote. Please feel free to use it in any way, but please not me as the author ans if you use it on the web link back to here.
Who put the X in Christmas ?
I ask myself today .
Who forgets the reason ,
And puts our Christ away ?
Who are the ignorant ones ,
That replace His name in vain ?
Each time I see the blasphemy ,
I hang my head in shame .
As I look upon my Christmas tree ,
And the star that's placed up high .
I think of what He gave for us ,
And for the ignorant my heart does cry .
It's been many , many years ago ,
But Christ will always be .
How great our God that gave His Son ,
That died on the cross for me .
Just one thing I'll say to you ,
And I think you will agree .
Without our Christ in Christmas ,
Just another day it would be .

@ Zero - Need help writing her segments? I know about her actions since I'm going to include her as a main character in Shadow.
@ demino_hellsin - That's it? Oh well, better than nothing I guess. Irish was shipped of to the academy as a last note (He was suposed to stay in a prison cell when not on missions but Tatenashi thought it was a bit harsh) so he has no treatment.

"Just what do they see in her? My little sister can't be this cute!"
That said, they'd be oogling at Riz and Gin more than Karon in my latest take. The last is a nobody, while the other two is either a [Goddess of Tsundere] or [The People's Princess].

But I'm just kidding here.
Locker Room incident got nerfed to something more normal. And I decided to drop the moe act and tie the setting in to the current occurances more.
Basically, we open with Karon getting ready in a haphazardly manner for the morning. Meanwhile, Gin is hearing the news about Germany's latest advances on the ISper front and talking with her father over video call, and Riz meditates over her press conference about her withdrawing from acting for the time being. Karon riffs on her guitar, trips on a cord and falls. Gin meets with her mentor Cecilia, and Riz spars with her mother. The latter two are preparing for a duel between the ruling political family and the biggest weapons supplier in the Foundation. The winner not only will fight the victor amongst the commoners for Representative Candidacy, but will also decide whether the aging VMs will be upgraded to Tears-type units, or the Atsuwashi-package Uchiganes sold by Riz's family. All while Karon runs after a bus then very publicly renews her vow to become the Vandam.
You can see that I'll be jumping between POVs a LOT in this fic, which is why me leaving Box-kun puzzled has me worried...

@ Zero - No more moe!? It's a sad day for me then. Karon's POV still looks funny though.
Side note - When I re-make the Ikaron draft, what's her new personality? I don't think you want me to use her old one since that's outdated (Her reactions to Amnesiac!Irish would probably be different).

Her new personality has and always been very close to Amami Haruka. And in the latest take, I upped the 'uselessness' of the girl when outside of her IS to further increase her underdog status.

@ Meister - No change then? That's surprising. Is she still as clueless and chaste as ever?
@ Zero - When you wake up, please read this:
A new plot for Ichika in Shadow: Deconstructing the male IS pilots genre.
Basically, Ichika is attacked by a male saying that Ichika ruined his life. When he calms him down, he starts to explain: Because Ichika was protected bu Chifuyu, organizations tried making their own male IS pilots. Ichika's DNA was used for inhumane genetic experiments on kidnapped males. Most of the subjects didn't survive due to the treatment and he was on of the few who escaped.
He even says that just because you're a male pilot, doesn't mean you get to go to an all-girls school and have fun moments. Not everyone has someone like Chifuyu to protect them so Ichika is a lucky and rare case.
Side note - If you're wonderiny. No, he can't pilot an IS. The experiments were failures.

@ Zero - Ichika is the only male pilot in Shadow. I don't want to put another male pilot since it'll break the flow. Besides, the guy there will probably be put on a bus after his explanation.

But wait a minute... I knew molecular biology has developed far more advanced that they can have any kind of result.... but that's if they knew the specific genetic strand required for it!
It's somewhat idiot ball for the scientist, but I think if they're desperate enough, they can just do that; turning any guys in their disposal into Ichika-copy and gamble about the result.
As for14 years old, it's depend on his basic build and muscle density, I think average 14 years old guy can lift 30-40 kg barbel... and run rather fast compared to older or younger guys (this is due to his body still in development and thus fast metabolism).

@ Zero - Specifically: It's not only the brutal tests that killed them but Ichika's DNA itself. We have similar plans for Ichika's origins, remember? The DNA is incompatible with regular people and so when they try to implant it, it cause poisonous reactions on the users body, the same applies to Madoka's DNA. It's a fail safe by PT in case their "investment" gets loose.
Side note - Can you tell me an average of how strong Irish would be?

@ Jak
I'll reply if you present, as you said, you don't want it buried amongst spam don't you?
So, arm full of tattoo? I guess there's no problem, look at the composition, "Maria" Tattoo is especially cool, since it has 'graceful and beauty' elements in it. And the location is exactly good, you don't need to show it, it's visible from broad angles.
The second not so much, it's like someone randomly stamped them in his arm.
And no, this general artistic POV, not only from the girls' subject but also from the guys as well.
EDIT uh, seems like you're pissed. Sorry.
@ Eras
Hmm, in mine there's no compatibility problem, but injecting Ichika's Gene strand won't do jack. The origin of Madoka is different too.
As for Irish, without Skull suit he's a potato, that any seven year old kid can smash. As I said to you, considering abuse Irish received I wonder why he wasn't strapped into the bed and was given a shitload of Life support, maybe it's because he's useful?

Ceremony at 1810 Grant Avenue to be held Sunday, December 14 at 2 p.m.
The Philadelphia Animal Welfare Society (PAWS), together with the City of Philadelphia Mural Arts Program, will dedicate two murals on Sunday, December 14. The murals depict rescued animals living in the safety of home, to promote PAWS' efforts to save Philadelphia's homeless pets. Created by artists Ali Williams and Kala Hagopian, known as Chroma Dolls, the murals feature pets who once lived on the streets or in shelters and now have loving families. The murals were made possible thanks to the generous support of those families, many of whom are PAWS adopters, volunteers, and fosters.
The murals are installed on PAWS' newest facility, an Adoption Center and Low-Cost Clinic at Grant and Bustleton Avenues in Northeast Philadelphia. The facility brings adoptable pets and low-cost basic veterinary care to a community that previously lacked both. Since opening in May, it has enabled PAWS to rescue an additional 400 animals and provide spay/neuter surgery and other clinical services to more than 4,000 dogs and cats belonging to disadvantaged pet owners who would not otherwise have been able to access care.
"Bringing our rescue and prevention services to the Northeast marked a major step toward our ultimate goal of making Philadelphia a no-kill city," says Melissa Levy, Executive Director of PAWS. "We are so thrilled to be partnering with Mural Arts, who we have long admired for their commitment to collaborative art that stimulates dialogue about the issues facing our city. The beautiful murals that now adorn our building serve as a beacon for the community to join us in saving Philadelphia's homeless pets by adopting, fostering, donating, or volunteering."
"It is such an honor to work with PAWS, an organization I respect greatly for its tireless advocacy and work on behalf of our animal friends," says Jane Golden, Executive Director, City of Philadelphia Mural Arts Program. "I'm thrilled that the City of Philadelphia Mural Arts Program could match up PAWS with a pair of talented young artists like the Chroma Dolls, in order to create an imaginative mural. I invite citizens all across Philadelphia to come out on December 14, both to support PAWS and to support meaningful public art in our city."
The December 14 program will include brief remarks from representatives of PAWS, Mural Arts, and the community, and will be followed by a ribbon-cutting ceremony and refreshments inside PAWS' adoption center.
Read more about the mural in Philadelphia Magazine.
# # #
PAWS is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization dedicated to saving Philadelphia's homeless, abandoned, and unwanted animals. PAWS is the city's largest no-kill shelter and operates two high-volume, low-cost spay/neuter clinics serving pet owners and rescue organizations that lack access to affordable basic veterinary care. Through its adoption locations, special events, and foster care network, PAWS finds loving homes for thousands of animals each year. Support for PAWS funds lifesaving initiatives which help reduce and will ultimately eliminate the unnecessary killing of animals and make Philadelphia a place where every healthy and treatable pet is guaranteed a home. For more information, visit: www.phillypaws.org. Follow along on social media: @phillypaws on Twitter and Instagram, phillypaws on YouTube, and PhilaAnimalWelfareSociety on Facebook.
The City of Philadelphia Mural Arts Program (Mural Arts) is the nation's largest public art program, dedicated to the belief that art ignites change. For 30 years, Mural Arts has united artists and communities through a collaborative process, rooted in the traditions of mural-making, to create art that transforms public spaces and individual lives. Mural Arts engages communities in 50–100 public art projects each year, and maintains its growing collection through a restoration initiative. Core Mural Arts programs such as Art Education, Restorative Justice, and Porch Light yield unique, project-based learning opportunities for thousands of youth and adults. Each year, 12,000 residents and visitors tour Mural Arts' outdoor art gallery, which has become part of the city's civic landscape and a source of pride and inspiration, earning Philadelphia international recognition as the "City of Murals." For further information, call 215-685-0750 or visit www.muralarts.org.

Art & Architecture
The Architecture
A prime example of Mid-Century Modern architecture, the Central Library bridges style and substance into a single structure. Architect Marcel Breuer was both a student and partner of Walter Gropius, who is best known as the founder of Bauhaus, a radical arts and crafts school in Germany founded shortly after World War I. The school was designed to combine architecture, crafts, and an academy of the arts, hoping to "create a new guild of craftsmen, without the class distinctions, which raise an arrogant barrier between craftsman and artist."
The Central Library was one of Breuer's first major public commissions in the United States. Keeping with the Bauhaus style, the modernist design is visible in not only the façade, but also in the interior design, furniture and artwork. Breuer designed many custom pieces of furniture for the library, which included the original circulation desk, shelving, a record listening desk, the card catalog file, and several tables.
In 2008, Central Library was included on the World Monuments Watch as part of the "Main Street Modern" category, which intended to call attention to at-risk modernist buildings that characterize the civic architecture of post-war America. The World Monuments Fund has led the way in conserving irreplaceable architectural and cultural sites throughout the world. A grant from the World Monuments Fund supported the preservation and conservation of the library architecture and principal works of art.
The Art
In speech given by W. Hawkins Ferry, he described Breuer's vision for the library as such, "Art, which has so long been relegated to museums, would assume its rightful position in the pattern of our daily lives as it has done in past epochs." To realize Breuer's vision for the interior of the building, W. Hawkins Ferry commissioned four pieces of Mid-Century Modern artwork designed specifically for public display at the Central Library.
The Calder Mobile was evaluated and cataloged by the Calder Foundation in New York City and restored by Calder conservation expert Abigil Mack in 2015.
Calder Mobile
Renowned sculptor and artist Alexander Calder created the colorful steel and aluminum mobile which hangs in the main room of the Grosse Pointe Central Library. Calder was commissioned by W. Hawkins Ferry through a relationship that architect Marcel Breuer had with the artist. Calder is best known as the originator of the mobile, a type of kinetic sculpture made with delicately balanced or suspended components that move in response to motor power or air currents. These sculptures were groundbreaking as they departed from the traditional concept of art as a static object and introduced the ideas of motion and change as aesthetic design factors.
Calder's manufacture of this type of mobile dates back to 1940 and continued to his death in 1976. Not long after the library acquired this important piece, Calder's works became more widely known by the general public.
Cleaned and restored in 2015 by European-trained textile expert Howard Sutcliffe.
Kandinsky Tapestry
As part of the original plans for the Central Library, Marcel Breuer designed a hand-woven tapestry, which was made in Aubusson, a region in France famous for tapestry work. This tapestry was created from designs and paintings of Bauhaus artist and Breuer friend, Wassily Kandinsky. Although known as the "Kandinsky Tapestry", the piece was neither designed nor created by Kandinsky (who died ten years before the library's opening). The 6' by 8 ½' tapestry hangs on the back wall of the main room of the Central Library, a location selected by Breuer, allowing patrons to see the work from nearly any position within the room. The tapestry exhibits a work that draws from many elements of Kandinsky's later works, closely resembling his pastel-on-black Composition from 1940.
Calder's manufacture of this type of mobile dates back to 1940 and continued to his death in 1976. Not long after the library acquired this important piece, Calder's works became more widely known by the general public.
"The History of Writing" by Herbert Matter
Restored in January 2014 by Valerie Baas, former Head Paper Conservator for the Detroit Institute of Arts DIA, with funds from the Library budget and a gift from the Friends of the Grosse Pointe Public Library.
Matter Mural
Found in the adult reading room, the 25' by 9' photomontage mural "The History of Writing" was created by photographer and graphic designer Herbert Matter and installed in 1955, shortly after the opening of the Central Library. Matter wanted to picture "the inspiration or revelation one gets from reading books", and, rather than creating a mural of local scenes, chose to draw from "faraway lands the world over to which one never gets and only reads about".
The mural features photo examples of the development of letters from prehistoric images through modern day font, illustrating the evolution of writing from the Paleolithic period to the 20th century. It includes, among others, elements of Greek, Roman, Hebrew, Arabic, Sanskrit, Chinese and the typeface of the Gutenberg Bible.
"Salute to Knowledge" by Lyman Kipp
Repainted September 2013 with funds generously given by the Grosse Pointe Questers #147
Kipp Sculpture
In 1981, W. Hawkins Ferry commissioned the sculpture which sits outside the front entrance of the library, fulfilling architect Marcel Breuer's original intention for the design of the Central Library. "Salute to Knowledge" is a towering 23' by 13' by 5' contemporary sculpture comprised of vivid red panels held in the air by bright blue steel beams, complementing the modernist architecture of the library, and standing in striking contrast to the surrounding neighborhood.

The famous island-continent
Once a common origin is admitted for such great, enigmatic cultures like the Sumerian and the Egyptian in the Old World, and the Mayan and Aztec in the New, the question naturally arises: where could such common origin be? Many people will immediately say that it could only be in Atlantis.
However, at the risk of disappointing Atlantis' many thousands of fans, it must be said from the start that it could not be in that emblematic island-continent. For while massive evidence has been presented for its existence, mainly in the several thousands of books that have been written about this matter over the years, a careful consideration of all the existing data, particularly the timeframe involved, will show that Atlantis was at best a secondary center that radiated, like many other worldwide culture–radiating centers at different times, at a moment when the current Manvantara was fairly advanced, i.e. when the primeval tradition, being Polar by nature and therefore centered around the Ursa Mayor, had already changed into zodiacal and was now oriented to the Pleiades – a fact that becomes specially relevant if we remember that the Pleiades were Atlas' daughters, from which they were called "the Atlantides".
On the other hand, there is no doubt at all that the Atlantis civilization existed. Perhaps the best evidence about it are the countless geographical names on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean that obviously derive from the same source, for example Aztlan, a mythical island which the Aztecs claimed to be their original country (and curiously enough, Atl is the word for water both in the old Mexico and the Semitic countries); and there are a lot more.
Another evidence would be what has been called the great paradox of the ancient Egypt, which seems to have passed, from as early the Old Empire times, from a simple union of proto–historic clans to a most refined civilization capable of building huge pyramids – an immense achievement which favors the hypothesis that it originated in some other part of the world, which would not be other than Atlantis.
However, it is precisely as a consequence of the catastrophic sinking of the island–continent that the biblical Flood would have occurred, which, by placing both events around the same epoch, would make the former an even more unlikely place as a common cultural origin for the current humanity – all the more when, according to certain traditional data, its lifespan would have not exceeded a "great year", i.e. a half of a precessional period.
So to find the supreme center we must disregard the secondary and relatively recent centers like Atlantis and look farther back to the very start of the present Manvantara, then ruled by the Manu Vaivasvata of the Hindu tradition, the father of the current humanity, whom the avatara Matsya, the fish, a pre-figuration of the Babylonian Oannes, is said to have saved from the great deluge that «covered the three worlds». Such epoch would be previous to the biblical Flood by at least 40,000 years and would date back to the times of the Hyperborean Thule, located on the North Pole, where – in Homer's words – are the «Sun's revolutions», the home of the Celtic or Hyperborean Apollo. In effect, this is a place of delight evoked by many traditions, even the Chinese, where the Pole Star, and in general the Ursa Mayor, "the crank", play a most significant role; but mainly by all that have an Indo-European origin, and which would be the most remote precedent of the Garden of Eden of the Judeo-Christian tradition. (More to come soon)

Sandy beaches, restaurants galore, and beautiful blue skies – you can find it all in Pacific Beach! Pacific Beach, a small beach community located in the central coastal area of San Diego, is a beach hub, has a thriving business district, and hosts thousands of visitors each year. PB, as the locals call it, has become one of the biggest hot spots in San Diego. Just south of La Jolla, Pacific Beach is surrounded by Mission Bay and the Pacific Ocean. It has wandering views of the ocean, with eclectic eateries and restaurants, a boardwalk that stretches on for miles, and a terrific mix of boutiques.
Whether you are looking for a small beach cottage, an oceanfront condo, or a large home by the coast, you can find it in Pacific Beach. The "Endless Summer" atmosphere makes you want to come back for more with people mingling around at the local coffee shops, bars, and burger joints. It truly is a beach community that fits right into the San Diego scene.
Pacific Beach is the iconic southern California beach town. With three miles of boardwalks and a lively atmosphere, Pacific Beach is a great place to find fun in the sun. From funky beach bars and taco stands to sleek modern hotels, nightclubs, and fine dining restaurants, Pacific Beach offers a variety of things to do beyond the miles of sandy beaches. Pacific Beach is a collection of 19 neighborhoods, each with their own distinct personalities:
Mission Beach is the southernmost neighborhood in PB, and is a strand-way that offers high end beach front properties, charming beach cottages, multi-family homes, and condos. Mission Beach offers a beach vibe, attracting surfers, vacationers, second homeowners and water enthusiasts. This neighborhood is nestled between the Pacific Ocean to the west and Mission Bay to the east. For people that enjoy rowing, sailing, kayaking, and boating, the bay offers calm waters, while the Pacific side of Mission Bay offers a long sandy beach to enjoy the surfing and ocean fun.
Slightly north from Mission Beach is the Jewel Coast, defined by Crystal Pier on the south end and Tourmaline Beach and Surf Park near La Jolla to the north. This oceanfront neighborhood is dotted with luxury condo buildings and homes. This stretch of beach is known for being quieter and more for locals than the busy stretch of sand in Mission Beach.
Crown Point is nestled between Mission Bay and Fiesta Bay. This neighborhood is known for its charming cottages, duplexes, and condos. This area is highlighted by an estuary, and has camping and park areas.
North Pacific Beach is comprised of three key neighborhoods, each with their own architectural style. Pacifica is located in the northeastern most border of Pacific Beach, and is known for its mid-century homes, many of which offer breathtaking views of the ocean, bay, and city. Harbor Heights is an enclave of traditional homes, many with ocean and bay views in a park-like setting. The Castle Hills area is a wooded, elevated area which offers quiet, tree-lined streets and many homes have sweeping views.
The heart of Pacific Beach is comprised of sub-neighborhoods dotted with post-World War II cottages, many of which have been transformed into quintessential coastal homes reminiscent of a time gone by. It is common in this area of Pacific Beach to see people walking to shops, riding beach cruisers and skateboards as common modes of transportation. The atmosphere is casual, truly exemplifying the "Endless Summer" theme southern California is known for.
Pacific Beach also offers a thriving business district. The main business areas are located between two large boulevards: Grand and Garnet. This area offers everything from bars and cafes to international restaurants and fine dining establishments, as well as grocery stores and boutique shops. Pacific Beach is truly a diverse, yet closely knit, community.
Pacific Beach is a great location for people who want to embrace a beach lifestyle while being in close proximity to the city of San Diego. With a short commute to the airport and downtown San Diego, homeowners in Pacific Beach enjoy a great lifestyle. With so many retail options, Pacific Beach residents have a tendency to shop local, which includes partaking in the local farmer's market.
Like many of the coastal communities in San Diego, Pacific Beach experiences the coastal marine layer in the morning and the early evenings, which burns off to create sunny, mild afternoons. The summer high temperature can hit a comfortable 80 degrees, while the winter months can offer sunny 60-degree weather. The locals love the months of September and October when the weather is still warm, the ocean is inviting, and the beach is quiet with locals strolling, running, and surfing.
Pacific Beach has three elementary schools, one middle school and one high school. The three elementary schools are Pacific Beach Elementary, Crown Point Elementary, and Kates Session Elementary. Each school is known for its caring staff. With active parents and community involvement, these schools help students thrive and learn in nurturing, academically focused environments. Historic Pacific Beach Middle IB World School serves beach area families with an innovative, globally focused education. Pacific Beach Middle School brings the world to their students, through the celebrated International Baccalaureate (IB) Middle Years Program. Mission Bay High is a magnet school located on the shores of Mission Bay in Pacific Beach. The school takes pride in offering a rigorous curriculum based on the International Baccalaureate Program. The IB Middle Years Program (MYP) includes all 9th and 10th graders. The IB Diploma Program (DP) is for 11th and 12th graders.

I am not a runner and this has been a challenging goal to attain. Now I can proudly say I finished and ran the entire way in 32 minutes and 5 seconds! Woo-hoo! I had a great time with my Stroller Strides buddies, Aleisha and Leann! Thanks guys for your support and help!

Video of GA with some not-so-yummy-green beans!
So here is a little video clip of GA at dinner and she has gotten quite good at refusing to eat certain foods, mostly green beans! Lately I have tried the sneaky method of feeding her a little bit of fruit on top of the green beans, but she can see right through me. She is definitely a Sebring! Enjoy!

No. 25 LSU Pounds Utah State, Falls to No. 3 California. After falling 14-3 to No. 3 California, the No. 25 LSU softball team rolled to a 13-0 five-inning victory over Utah State Sunday on the final day of the Louisville Slugger Desert Classic at Stephanie Lynn Craig Park in Las Vegas. The 13 runs for LSU (4-4) were the most runs scored by the Tigers since a 15-2 victory over Nicholls State on April 14, 2010, while the 12 hits were a season-high. Ashley Langoni went 2-for-3 and drove in three RBIs highlighted by a two-run home run. She also scored four runs to tie a program single-game record. The last LSU player to score four runs in a game was Simone Heyward versus Louisiana Tech on Feb. 11, 2011. Lauren Houston, Dylan Supak and Tammy Wray also picked up two RBIs apiece. For Supak, she turned in a 2-for-3 effort to claim her first career hits and RBIs. Rachele Fico fired her second one-hitter of the season and improved to 3-1. She fanned six batters against zero walks. The Tigers raced out to a 2-0 lead in the first inning and made the most of four walks. Heyward and Houston drew free passes with the bases loaded to plate the runs. LSU filled the bases again during the second inning, and Wray delivered a two-out, two-run single to centerfield to double the Tiger advantage to 4-0. The Tigers exploded for a season's best seven runs in the third inning. LSU sent 12 batters to the plate. Allison Falcon along with Houston Langoni, Santos and Supak provided the RBIs. Supak's two-run single down the left line capped the frame and vaulted the Tigers ahead by an 11-0 margin. Langoni put the finishing touches on the 13-0 triumph with a two-run long ball over the left centerfield fence during the fourth inning. She became the ninth player in program history to collect25 career home runs.
Game 1 – No. 3 California 14, No. 25 LSU 3 (5 Innings). Cal came out firing on all cylinders and crossed the plate six times in the first inning. Williams opened the scoring with a two-run double, Kostreba smacked a RBI single and Jolene Henderson capped the frame with a two-run homer to left centerfield. Down 6-0 in the third inning, LSU mounted a rally ignited by a Simone Heyward leadoff walk. Her aggressive baserunning on an Ashley Applegate single through the left side gave the Tigers a pair of base runners in scoring position. Allison Falcon belted a RBI single to left field to plate Heyward and put the Tigers on the board. Three batters later, Ashleigh Kuhn lifted a sacrifice fly to straight-away centerfield to make it 6-2. With runners on the corners, Kailey McCasland laced a RBI single to left field to pull LSU back to 6-3. Tammy Wray drew a walk to load the bases and allow the Tigers to send the go-ahead run to the plate. On the first pitch, Morgan Russell grounded out to the pitcher to end the rally. California (8-0) responded with a two-out, two-run double from Breana Kostreba during the fourth inning to regain an 8-3 advantage. In the fifth inning, the Golden Bears used a trio of home runs en route to six runs for the final margin of 14-3. Frani Echavarria connected for a two-run blast, Jace Williams cranked a three-run dinger and Kostreba added a solo shot. Williams and Kostreba combined to account for nine of Cal's 13 RBIs. Henderson earned her fifth win of the season for the Golden Bears, while LSU's Brittany Mack dropped to 1-3 on the season.
