The objective of this report was to analyze the aircraft impacts into each of the World Trade Center (WTC) towers to provide the following: (1) estimates of probable damage to structural systems due to aircraft impact, including exterior walls, floor systems, and interior core columns; (2) estimates of the aircraft fuel dispersal during the impact; (3) estimates of debris damage to the interior tower contents, including partitions and workstations. Thus, this analysis established the initial conditions for the fire dynamics modeling and the thermal-structural response and collapse initiation analysis. The impact analyses were conducted at various levels of complexity including: (1) the component level, (2) the subassembly level, and (3) the global level to estimate the probable damage to the towers due to aircraft impact. Simplified analyses were also used to support the development of the global finite element models. Analysis of uncertainties using the component and subassembly analyses were conducted to assess the effects of variability associated with various input parameters and identify the most influential parameters that affect the damage estimates using orthogonal factorial design. Based on the results of the sensitivity analyses, the most influential parameters identified were varied in the global models to provide a range of damage estimates for WTC 1 and WTC 2. As part of the tower and aircraft models, constitutive relationships describing the actual behavior of the structures under the dynamic impact conditions of the aircraft were developed based on test results of the tower steels and from the open literature for other materials. Various grades of steels used in the exterior walls and core columns of the towers, weldment metal, bolts, reinforced concrete, aircraft materials, and nonstructural contents were considered. The constitutive relationships included high strain-rate effects and failure criteria for the various materials.

Alfonso Cocktail
Put 1 lump of sugar in a medium-sized wine-glass, 2 dashes of Secrestat Bitter (substitute Angostura for the defunct Secrestat) poured on to the sugar, l lump of ice, 1/4 of a glass of Dubonnet, fill remainder with Champagne, squeeze lemon peel on top and stir slightly.
This is an interesting variation on the traditional Champagne Cocktail.
Dubonnet Rouge is a French Red Wine based aperitif. It is bittered with Quinine, has some spice to it, is fortified, and sweetened slightly. Not dissimilar to slightly fruitier Sweet Vermouth.
According to Eric Felten, in his new book, "How's Your Drink," it is the highest selling aperitif wine in the United States.
Both Mrs. Underhill and I quite enjoyed this cocktail. It's a light aromatic aperitif and the champagne makes it a bit festive. Be quite nice for the opening salvo of the evening or to accompany appetizers at a dinner party.
This post is one in a series documenting my ongoing effort to make all of the cocktails in the Savoy Cocktail Book, starting at the first, Abbey, and ending at the last, Zed.

A friend asked for help. She does hand quilting and assembled some embroidered blocks into a quilt as per customer's request. Did the hand quilting and bound the quilt. The customer was thrilled.....until she put it on the Queen size bed.
It did not fit! She wants 8 inches added to each side.
How would you solve this problem? Would the strip added to each side have to be 3 layers? and quilted. Would you remove the binding? or would you find another way to attach it to the quilt. The owner is buying fabric to make the extensions.
My solution was to tell the customer to make a dust ruffle to tuck between the mattress and box springs. Perhaps there is another solution.
Ok, let's hear your solution to this problem.

Campos wants Harvey Milk's name on SFO
Supervisor suggests honor for slain gay rights symbol
A San Francisco supervisor wants to rename the city's airport in honor of civil rights leader Harvey Milk, a change supporters said would send a global message about the importance and struggles of gays and lesbians for equality.
Supervisor David Campos will introduce legislation Tuesday that would place the proposal to rename San Francisco International Airport as Harvey Milk San Francisco International Airport before voters in November. To send the name change to voters, Campos needs the support of five other supervisors, and Monday he already had four co-sponsors.
Campos said about 80 other U.S. airports are already named for individuals, none of whom are gay, and that SFO - which moves 40 million passengers annually, including 9 million international travelers - has a particularly high profile. He believes it would cost between $50,000 and $250,000 to implement, citing the cost other cities have incurred to do the same, but said he hopes to attract private donations to fund the change.
'An international symbol'
Milk was a San Francisco supervisor when he and Mayor George Moscone were shot and killed by Dan White, a former supervisor, at City Hall on Nov. 27, 1978. He was one of the first openly gay people elected in the United States, and "has become an international symbol of civil rights, not just LGBT rights," Campos said.
"There are already a number of things honoring Harvey Milk, including schools, but nothing of this national and international scale," said Campos, who is gay. "It's time to send a message that members of the LGBT community are treated with dignity and respect. ... In places all over the world, including Europe and Asia, people of all walks of life look up to Harvey Milk."
Supervisor Scott Wiener, who represents the same area that Milk did and is also gay, immediately signed on as a co-sponsor of Campos' proposal, saying Milk "is the most important figure in the history of the LGBT community, and he played such a critical role in modern San Francisco politics."
"It would be very fitting to name the airport after Harvey Milk," Wiener said, but added that it will probably "spark a robust conversation about the various people who have made significant contributions to San Francisco.
"To be clear, there are other people who (also) merit consideration," he added. "San Francisco has always been at the forefront of the fight for LGBT equality, and so people come here from around the country and around the world because of that, and for 40 million people a year to land at Harvey Milk International Airport sends an incredible message to the world."
Family on board
The timing is also important, Campos said, noting that the U.S. Supreme Court is considering several gay rights cases, including whether California's passage of Proposition 8 banning gay marriage was legal.
Campos - who represents neighborhoods including the Mission District and Bernal Heights and is expected to run for state Assembly in 2016 - has also received the blessing of Milk's family and the Harvey Milk Foundation.
Stuart Milk, Harvey's nephew who co-founded the nonprofit, said he hopes to see a "groundswell of support" for a move he said will have "huge, huge implications" worldwide.
"When you think of the 9 million international visitors, coming from many of the 77 countries where it's still illegal to be LGBT - people forget that there are still 77 countries where it's criminal to be who you are," he said. "To be in Dubai, and see on the board a flight that ends at Harvey Milk San Francisco International Airport, or to be a young Pakistani, in a country where it is illegal to be gay, look up and see the name of a gay icon and feel, 'I am not alone' - it resonates back to my uncle and the calls he got from places like Altoona, Pa., when he was elected."
A lasting statement
Harvey Milk has received a posthumous Presidential Medal of Freedom, had a statewide day of recognition named for him in California, has been the subject of a major motion picture and multiple documentaries, and has four schools named after him. But this could have an even broader and more lasting educational effect, Stuart Milk said, because unlike a change in law that can be undone, it would illustrate a change in societal thinking.
The airport, he said, "is a global entry point to North America, and with this we are saying, 'We are including everyone.' ... It shows what a global community we have become and how we are teaching equality."

UPDATE: Obama signature reversing Mexico City policy brings quick condemnation.
SECOND UPDATE: Cardinal Rigali calls decision "very disappointing."
Despite some expectations that President Barack Obama would issue an executive order reversing the Mexico City policy on Jan. 22, it apparently isn't going to happen, at least not today, the anniversary of Roe v. Wade.
The policy prohibits recipients of U.S. foreign aid from promoting or providing abortions. It was established by President Ronald Reagan in 1984, reversed by President Bill Clinton in 1993 and reestablished under President George W. Bush in 2001. Clinton and Bush each took their actions on Jan. 22.
A reversal of the policy is almost certainly going to be ordered, perhaps as soon as tomorrow. But in contacts with some Catholic leaders, representatives of the administration signaled that Obama is trying to be at least sensitive to timing, by declining to announce such a change while abortion protesters were marching in Washington and elsewhere.
Some Catholic leaders who have been in touch with Obama's staff this week encouraged the administration to pair any such orders — which they see as a rollback of progress against abortion — with an announcement about new efforts to aid pregnant women, or otherwise help reduce demand for abortion.
Late in the day Obama issued a statement reaffirming his commitment to "protecting a woman's right to choose." He added that "while this is a sensitive and often divisive issue, no matter what our views, we are united in our determination to prevent unintended pregnancies, reduce the need for abortion and support women and families in the choices they make. To accomplish these goals, we must work to find common ground to expand access to affordable contraception, accurate health information and preventative services."
The statement concluded by saying "we must also recommit ourselves more broadly to ensuring that our daughters have the same rights and opportunities as our sons" including access to education, fulfilling careers, to be treated fairly and paid equally "and to have no limits on their dreams."

I hope you had an enjoyable Memorial Day weekend. I know my family and I sure enjoyed a little down time. The long weekend also gave me the opportunity to hang the mirror collage I posted about last time ~ read about it here. Unlike the Anthropologie inspiration piece, my mirrors are not connected to form one large mirror. Instead, I simply hung them individually by snugging them up close to each other on the wall. I think it gives the same effect.
It's short and sweet today ~ I'm off to work on another project. Hoping you stop by Tattered Style again soon! :)
P.S. Please contact me if you have any questions on this DIY project and I'll be happy to help out if I can.

Laurie Linke is due for a screening mammogram, but she might not get one anytime soon. After filling out forms that qualified her for a state program for uninsured women, she was placed on a waiting list.
Linke was counting on getting a free mammogram because she doesn't have a job, her unemployment benefits have run out, and she has exhausted her savings. Laid off from her position as a sales executive for a mortgage company in 2008, she said even a low-cost mammogram is beyond what she can afford right now.
But halfway through the fiscal year, the program she turned to, the Illinois Breast and Cervical Cancer Program, is running out of money and unable to fund screening mammograms coordinated at five sites in the Chicago area, plus seven in other parts of the state.
"I'm frustrated," said Linke, 45, who lives in Homewood. "I think if we had universal health care a lot of people wouldn't have to neglect their health because they don't have insurance."
A national uproar erupted recently over access to breast cancer screening after charity giant Susan G. Komen for the Cure, which funds organizations and programs that provide mammograms to uninsured and underinsured women, announced that it would no longer give money to Planned Parenthood. That decision was quickly reversed, but in Illinois, access to mammograms, Pap smears and other reproductive health services remains an issue for many uninsured women.
The Illinois Breast and Cervical Cancer Program was created to help women who don't qualify for services through Medicaid or Medicare. To participate in the program, women must be uninsured or have health insurance that specifically excludes screening services. Although many work, they are self-employed, work part time or are not offered health insurance through their jobs.
"This is for women who completely fall through the cracks," said Shannon Lightner, deputy director of the Office of Women's Health at the Illinois Department of Public Health, which oversees the program.
Screening mammograms help identify breast cancer in its early stages, when it is most easily treated and least likely to be life-threatening. As of January, nearly 155,000 women have been screened for breast and cervical cancers since the early detection program was launched in Illinois in 1995. In the last fiscal year the number of screenings was about 40,000.
One reason for the funding crunch is greater demand as the number of uninsured women rises and public awareness grows about the need for mammograms. Another is the higher cost of performing digital mammograms, now the standard screening tool.
Gov. Pat Quinn cut the budget for the screening program, which receives about $20 million in state and federal funding, by about $1 million for the current fiscal year, which ends June 30.
To stretch the budget, about 400 women a month who qualify will be placed on waiting lists statewide. Women who show symptoms of breast cancer or who have had abnormal mammograms will be able to get mammograms at all locations, Lightner said.
"Overall, women are finding that it's getting harder and harder to schedule mammograms," said Anne Marie Murphy, executive director of the Metropolitan Chicago Breast Cancer Task Force. "They may find it hard to get through on the phone lines. They may find delays in scheduling breast exams or get wait-listed for a mammogram. ... This is really discouraging to women trying to get an essential life-saving service."
The Chicago area's only public hospital, John H. Stroger Jr. Hospital of Cook County, doesn't do screening mammograms.
"That puts us in a tough situation," said Eileen Knightly, director of women's health and the comprehensive breast cancer center at Mercy Hospital and Medical Center in Chicago. "If it wasn't for the state breast and cervical cancer program and Komen dollars, there are very few ways to take care of the uninsured population. Philanthropy is the only way we can address the screening needs for these patients."
Mercy is the screening program's largest site in the state, serving about 3,500 to 4,000 women a year.
Last May, Komen's Chicago affiliate distributed $1.5 million to 22 organizations and programs in Cook, Kane, DuPage, McHenry and Lake counties that provide mammograms to uninsured and underinsured women. Planned Parenthood performs clinical breast exams, pelvic exams and other services but refers women to other agencies for free or low-cost mammograms.
Mammograms are available at some federally qualified health centers on a sliding fee scale. Organizations including the American Cancer Society, Susan G. Komen for the Cure and the Metropolitan Chicago Breast Cancer Task Force list referral agencies on their websites.
Women aged 19 to 44 who meet income and other eligibility requirements can get mammograms, if they are ordered by the doctor during a family planning visit, at no cost through Illinois Healthy Women, a state program designed to provide family planning services to women of reproductive age.
But advocates and health officials say the state screening program helps the largest number of uninsured women, by far. It's more than just getting a free mammogram, Lightner said. The program offers a full range of services, including breast exams, Pap smears and pelvic exams.
Women's health advocates are urging Quinn to restore funding cuts to improve access.
"What we're asking for is $5 million (for the rest of the fiscal year)," said Knightly, vice president of the Metropolitan Chicago Breast Cancer Task Force. "It sounds like a lot right now but I can tell you that while there might be programs where there is waste, there's no waste in this one. … Five million will absolutely make a big difference."
They also are asking the governor to allocate $25 million for fiscal year 2013.
State officials say that they are sympathetic but that difficult decisions have to be made.
"I think there's reason for concern," Lightner said. "We would hate to find out a woman pulled off our priority list had something that wasn't detected at an earlier stage. But we have a fiscal crisis in the state, so not everything can be kept going at the same rate."
For uninsured women, a mammogram averages about $150 out-of-pocket, plus the cost of a clinical breast exam, about $40, Murphy said.
"What's scary for women is that they might need an ultrasound or an extra view (mammogram image), and you could end up with a significantly larger bill than expected," Murphy said.
Health officials say they don't know if the federal Affordable Care Act will make the screening program obsolete. Lightner said some women likely will remain uninsured even after implementation of health care reform over the next several years.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention plans to help fund states' breast and cervical cancer detection programs for at least five more years.
Access to breast cancer screening is a life-and-death issue for low-income women, who are disproportionately African-American, said Steve Whitman, director of Sinai Urban Health Institute in Chicago.
According to the most recent data, the breast cancer death rate for African-Americans was 61 percent higher in Chicago than for white women, a threefold increase since 1990. That translates to 76 black women in Chicago dying every year who would not have died if they were white, Whitman said.
"To make cutbacks in programs that strike at the poorest of women, is, in my opinion, obscene," Whitman said.

Keds Sneakers Advertisement from 1925
This Keds sneaker ad is from May 1925.
Boston school boys called their tennis shoes "sneakers" in the late 1880s – because the soft soles let them sneak around. The slang must have survived and spread, because according to the Keds website, in 1916 when the United States Rubber Company began manufacturing Keds they marketed them as sneakers.
Here's a 1962 Keds commercial starring Ozzie and Harriet.

The Albert Park circuit is a temporary track which is only used once a year to host the Australian Grand Prix - typically the opening round of the season.
The track made up of sections of the public road that circles the man-made Albert Park lake. The sections used were completely rebuilt in 1996 to ensure consistency and smoothness of the surface and, as a result, it is considered the smoothest of the road circuits currently in use.
Although fast, the track is thought of as to be easy to drive, although the flat terrain around the lake combined with the design means the circuit has very few proper straights making overtaking particularly hard.
Despite talks of a night race to make viewing easier for Europeans, a compromise was reached between the FIA and the race organisers and the 2009 race started at 5pm local time and proved a great success. As a result the contract was extended, meaning Albert Park will host the Australian Grand Prix until 2015.
In 2001 marshal Graham Beveridge died after being struck in the chest by a flying wheel. His death lead to the introduction of wheel tethers in F1.

Modifying Songs in iTunes
Although iTunes was never meant to be a song editing application, it offers a simple control over the starting and stopping points for playing back a song. You can use this feature to cut out unwanted intros and outros of a song, such as announcers and audience applause. You can also use it in conjunction with the Convert feature to split a track into multiple tracks.
Setting the start and stop points in a song
iTunes will play only a portion of a song if you specify start and stop times within the song. To set the start and/or stop points in a song, select the song and choose File, Get Info; then click Options to show the dialog that lets you specify the start and stop times.
Click inside the Start Time field to set the start time. Click inside the Stop Time field to set the stop time. The time is in minutes, seconds, and hundredths of a second (decimal) — 8:15.978 is 8 minutes and 15.978 seconds.
To determine with accuracy the time for the start and stop points, play the song and look in the Status pane at the top-center part of the iTunes window for the Elapsed Time. You can drag the slider in the Status pane to move quickly through the song and find the exact times for the start and stop points you want to set. Note: If you click Elapsed Time in the Status pane, it toggles to Remaining Time; click it again for Total Time, and click it once more to see Elapsed Time again.
iTunes plays only the part of the song between the start and stop times. You can use this feature to your advantage because when you convert the song, iTunes converts only the part of the song between the start and stop times.
Splitting a track into multiple tracks
You might have a CD that was created with all the songs combined into one track, or you might have recorded an entire side of a vinyl record or cassette tape into one sound file. Either way, you probably want to separate the songs into separate tracks in iTunes.
The best way to split a long track into smaller tracks is to open the sound file in a sound editing program that lets you select sections and save them separately, such as CD Spin Doctor or Sound Studio.
You can also separate a track into smaller tracks in iTunes, as long as you use the AIFF format at first. Follow these steps:
1. Before ripping a CD or importing a sound file, set the encoder in your importing preferences to AIFF.
Choose iTunes, Preferences on a Mac/Edit, Preferences on a Windows PC. Click Importing, and set your Importing encoder to AIFF (full quality).
2. Rip the CD track into iTunes or import an AIFF sound file into iTunes.
Because you set the importing preferences to AIFF, the CD track is imported into iTunes as AIFF at full quality. You want to do this because you're going to convert it in iTunes later, and you need the uncompressed version to convert. Use a song name to identify this track as a long track with multiple tracks — for example, call it side one or something like that.
3. Change your Importing preferences to AAC or MP3.
Choose iTunes, Preferences on a Mac/Edit, Preferences on a Windows PC. Click Importing, and set your Importing encoder to AAC or MP3. Now you're ready to convert the song segments from the long track.
4. Select the song in iTunes and choose File, Get Info.
The song information dialog appears.
5. Click Options to show the Start Time and Stop Time fields.
You can set the start and stop times for the song.
6. Define the Start Time and Stop Time for the first song in the long track.
Play the song and look in the Status pane at the top-center part of the iTunes window for the Elapsed Time. You can drag the slider in the Status pane to move quickly through the song and find the exact times for the start and stop points you want to set. For example, if the first song were exactly 3 minutes and 12 seconds, you would define the first section to start at 0:00 and play to 3:12.
7. Convert the defined segment of the long track from AIFF to AAC or MP3.
Select the long track (side one) and choose Advanced, Convert Selection to AAC (or Advanced, Convert Selection to MP3 if you chose the MP3 encoder in Step 6). iTunes converts only the section of the song defined by the Start Time and Stop Time fields that you set in Step 5, and creates a new song track in the AAC or MP3 format (depending on your choice in Step 3). iTunes converts the uncompressed AIFF segment into the compressed AAC or MP3 format.
8. Change the song name of the newly converted track to the actual song name.
The converted section of the long track still has the same name (side one). Change its name by clicking inside the song name in the iTunes song list, or by choosing File, Get Info, clicking the Info tab, and clicking inside the Name field. You can also enter a track number in the Track field. The converted song starts and stops as you specified in Step 5; because it's also converted to AAC or MP3, it's ready for use in your iTunes library and in your iPod.
9. Repeat Steps 4 through 8 for each song segment.
10. When finished, delete the long track in AIFF format.
Delete the long track (side one) by selecting it and pressing Delete/Backspace. You don't need it anymore if you converted all the segments to separate songs.

I'm looking to transfer very simple information using audio waves. One of the approaches I'm looking into is using different frequencies. For example, "command 1" will be transmitted using 500Hz wave, where "command 2" using 700Hz wave. On the other side, the decoder will look if we have a wave with that frequency and then interpret the command.
The challenge appears when I'd like to transmit 2 (or more) commands simultaneously - I get a new wave form. If I remember right from my physics studies - it's a "Wave package", so I get new frequencies, additional to the original ones.
My question is - Is there a way to receive this "wave package" and interpret the original commands from it?
Many thanks!

Anjelica Huston was a sensation well before "Smash," but the Oscar-winning actress says her first stint on episodic TV – as Eileen Rand, the ex-wife of a fabled Broadway producer tenaciously trying to prove herself in his business – is simply, well, smashing.
What is it that you really like about your character?
She's a real woman working in a man's world. It's not just a black-and-white character. There's a lot of grey area with her. People have asked, 'Is she a b****?' I've said, 'Yeah, she's a b****.'
Were you looking for a series when this came up?
No, I wasn't looking for anything other than something to really immerse myself in. I'm really happy that this is it. It's really inspiring to work with all of these people.
Do you expect to hear from real Broadway producers once this airs, giving you pointers to inform your performance?
I hope so. Actually, several of our investors and producers on the show are directly from Broadway and are the real thing, so I'm picking up clues as we go along. There are several characters who I have to deal with, and they're the real thing. So I hear great backstories about Tom Stoppard and people like that.
What else can we expect from her?
The beautiful Gracie Gummer – Meryl Streep's daughter – plays my daughter in an episode and that was fantastic..
You had a lovely turn in the under-appreciated '50/50.' Was that just a fluke that that happened?
I was just asked to be in it, and I'd seen 'The Wackness' – which was Jonathan Levine's previous film which I really admired. It was a low budget movie from the heart, and there's nothing I like better than that. It was beautiful writing. Will Reiser's script is so true and so moving. It was as privilege to be able to do that, to work with them.

The focus of this project was the economical and sustainable application of techniques previously developed by the GCI to prevent fungal and bacterial attacks through improvement of the physical environment of collections in historic buildings in hot and humid regions. The Alternative Climate Controls project applied alternative strategies to conventional air-conditioning systems by controlling relative humidity through ventilation and heating or dehumidification.
The project had five components, each focused on a particular location where project partners are applying controlled ventilation and heating or dehumidification as climate control strategies:
- Hollybourne Cottage, an historic house within the Jekyll Island Historic District (Georgia, USA);
- Valle de Guerra, a museum storage facility of Autonomous Entity of Museums and Centers of the Island Government of Tenerife (Canary Islands, Spain);
- Emilio Goeldi Museum, a storage facility for the Amazonian Ethnographic collection (Belém, Para, Brazil);
- Casa de Rui Barbosa, a house museum dedicated to the life of Rui Barbosa (Rio de Janeiro, Brazil);
- Juanqinzhai, Quinlong Garden Complex, Forbidden City, an eighteenth-century lodge of retirement for the Qianlong Emperor (Beijing, China).
Biodeterioration has been a major threat to museum collections in hot and humid regions; this is a result of exposure to prolonged periods of elevated relative humidity. Although air-conditioning may be used to lower relative humidity in the collection space, excessive cost and intrusion to the fabric of historic structures are prohibitive factors in its installation. Field studies at Tenerife Island, Spain, and Jekyll Island, Georgia—initiated by the GCI in 1997 and completed in 2002—examined the use of humidistat-controlled ventilation and heating as a viable alternative to air-conditioning in maintaining preservation-level relative humidity in the collection space.
Results from these multiyear experiments quantified the efficacy of economically sustainable strategies and produced ventilating and heating requirements for the care of collections in historic buildings located in tropical and subtropical regions. These studies demonstrated an impressive capability to improve climates with systems that, relative to air-conditioning, are inexpensive and simple to install, operate, and maintain.
In 2003, the GCI launched the Alternative Climate Controls for Historic Buildings project to apply the techniques developed through the field studies undertaken in the Collections in Hot & Humid Environments project (1997–2002) in a way that was both economical and sustainable. Concurrent with continued experiments on additional variations of climate control strategies at Hollybourne Cottage (first undertaken in the Hot & Humid project), a number of past and present partners worked with the GCI to install alternative climate control systems in their facilities, including the Valle de Guerra museum storage facility in Tenerife, Spain; the Emilio Goeldi Museum in Belem, Brazil; the library of the Casa de Rui Barbosa Museum in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil; and Juanqinzhai, the Quinlong Garden Complex in the Forbidden City in Beijing, China.
These projects were supported through the use of local resources, which included funding for equipment and the hiring of local engineers, architects, and contractors. The GCI provided technical support during the design and installation of these systems, as well as performance monitoring and suggestions for improvement to these projects.
In April 2007, the GCI invited thirteen experts—architects, engineers, conservators, and conservation scientists with an established record of work in the fields of environmental research, management, or control—to a two-day roundtable in Tenerife, Spain. The objectives of this event, the Experts' Roundtable on Sustainable Climate Management Strategies, were to exchange knowledge and experiences, to identify areas in need of further study or new research, and to identify opportunities for education and training in this subject. Excerpts from the roundtable discussion, as well as discussion papers written for the event, are available.
During the course of the project, the project team disseminated their work through numerous conference presentations, workshop lectures, and publications. Information on these can be found on the Related Materials page. A publication integrating all research and implementation case studies is forthcoming from Getty Publications in 2013.

U.S. Employment and Training Administration announces INTERNET LINKS FOR STATE AND LOCAL EMPLOYMENT PROJECTIONS
- Internet Links for State and Local Employment Projections (HTML version)
- Word version
- PDF version
The U.S. Department of Labor, Employment and Training Administration (ETA), Office of Workforce Investment has issued Internet Links for State and Local Employment Projections. State and local employment projections are primarily funded by ETA, while national employment projections are produced by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS).
Employment projections are the most frequently-requested type of workforce statistic besides the unemployment rate. Projections are used for career counseling; to plan employment, education and training programs; for economic development and other state or regional planning; as supporting documentation to apply for Federal grants; and for many other purposes.
This new resource includes direct links to
- all published industry and occupational projections for the 50 states, plus the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico;
- long-term (usually 10 years) and short-term projections (usually 2 years), including the dates of the projections;
- statewide and local projections, including an explanation of the type of locality;
- each state's employment projections Web page (if available);
- a statistical table summarizing the availability of different types of projections;
- each state's primary labor market information Web site; and
- the key BLS employment projections Web sites.
Internet Links for State and Local Employment Projections can be easily customized by the user, and is designed for the broadest possible audience, including
- state and local Workforce Investment Act and other employment and training program staff;
- DOL grant applicants and recipients;
- educators, trainers and career counselors;
- economic development and strategic planners;
- community and faith-based organizations;
- employers;
- labor unions;
- DOL national and regional office staff; and researchers, students, and the general public.

The Southington YMCA selected local developer and volunteer Tony Denorfia as Person of the Year, during a press conference that also recognized The Mill Foundation For Kids and volunteer Linda Mendelsohn.
Denorfia has been a successful developer and attorney in Southington, but YMCA Executive Director John Myers emphasized his community spirit and contributions to organizations like Bread For Life and the town's little league teams.
"He is a secret weapon for the town and keeps its best interests at heart," Myers said. "If he's involved with something, the chance of success is almost 100 percent."
One example cited of Denorfia's loyalty to the town was his role in the development of the drive-in property. Initially, town administrators did not intend to purchase the property after the commercial drive-in went out of business, leaving the door open for Denorfia to develop the area.
When Town Councilors expressed interest in a potential purchase that was later approved by voters at referendum, Denorfia gave up his claim to the property after concluding that this outcome would be best for the town. He joked that "it was a good personal decision and a lousy business decision."
"It's kind of intimidating," Denorfia said of the recognition. "I'm not sure it's deserved but I'm very honored and touched by it. It's a lot of emotions at once."
The "Reaching Out" award recognizes businesses or organizations that give back to Southington. Myers outlined the humble origins of the Mill Foundation For Kids, which began as a Christmas toy drive but has since developed into a larger organization that works to bring happiness to children suffering with pediatric illnesses. Today, they are best known for the annual "Santa at Sloper" event at the YMCA Camp Sloper.
"This is a true grassroots neighborhood organization," Myers said. "They keep it simple but they have a big impact."
The Foundation was delighted by the honor and five key members of the group attended the press conference to celebrate together.
"We think this is very uplifting," said Tina Taylor, co- vice president of outreach and communication for the foundation. "It gives a lot of comfort to know we're doing the right thing and to be recognized."
The Unsung Hero award is meant to honor residents who work behind the scenes to make a difference. Myers described Linda Mendelsohn as an integral volunteer with both the Community Services Department and Bread For Life.
"For the past several years, you have worked relentlessly for these services," Myers told her. "I think you've found a calling."
Mendelsohn, who is about to jump head-first into the annual Thanksgiving and Christmas goodwill initiatives, described volunteerism as a "fever" that is contagious once you are around other people doing the work.
"It's wonderful," she said of the recognition. "We don't do this sort of thing for accolades but when someone thanks you, that's great. I'm only one of many volunteers at Community Services and Bread For Life and they all work very hard."

Spain's lost generation
Issued on: Modified:
More than half of young Spaniards are out of work and a recent study shows that two thirds of them are considering emigrating. It's the sad result of Europe's debt crisis: the best-educated generation Spain has ever produced is the hardest hit by the crisis. We ask what Europe can do to give young people a chance to work.

Breast Milk Ice Cream Can Be Yours for $23 a Cone
A London ice cream parlor called "Icecreamists" has introduced a "pure, organic, free-range and totally natural" new flavor: Breast milk. Well, actually, the flavor is a kind of lemon-vanilla, but the cream is made from breast milk. Human breast milk!
The breast milk was provided by mothers who answered an advertisement on online mothers' forum Mumsnet.
Victoria Hiley, 35, from London was one of 15 women who donated milk to the restaurant after seeing the advert.
Hiley works with women who have problems breast-feeding their babies. She said she believes that if adults realized how tasty breast milk actually is, then new mothers would be more willing to breast-feed their own newborns.
Would you have a cone of this? Before you answer, be aware that it costs $23 a serving, and it is called "Baby Gaga." Also you'd have to fly to London and book a hotel room and take a taxi over there. And wear a funny jester hat and a sign that says "One Breast Milk Ice Cream For Me, Please!" So, would you? Huh? Would you?

|WCC Overview
Seville, Spain
In 1987, the candidates cycle format was changed for the first time since 1965. A Candidates Tournament was played involving twelve qualifiers from three interzonals, plus four seeds. The top four qualifiers from this tournament advanced to a series of candidates matches. The winner of this 4-man knockout played a match against Anatoly Karpov who was seeded directly into the candidates finals (!) for the privilege of playing a World Championship match against Kasparov in 1987.[1]
After Karpov handily defeated Andrei Sokolov 7½-3½ in the candidates finals, the stage was set for the fourth confrontation between Karpov and Kasparov, this time to be held in Seville, Spain.
The match took place from October 12 to December 18, 1987. The match was tied going into the 23rd game, when Karpov achieved a fine victory from the English Opening, making the match score 12-11 in Karpov's favor. Kasparov, needing a win in the final round to retain his title, managed to do exactly that in 24th game, a feat which had not been accomplished since Lasker vs Schlechter in 1910.
With a tie score of 12-12,
Garry Kasparov retained the World Championship title.
FINAL SCORE: Karpov 12; Kasparov 12

This will be music to SNL fans' ears — literally.
Fred Armisen will re-team with his former castmate Seth Meyers as the leader of the Late Night band, Meyers announced Monday on Twitter.
Jay Leno's most memorable TV moments
"Fred will curate and lead the band, and continue to run it even when he's off shooting Portlandia," Meyers said in reference to Armisen's other gig as star and executive producer of the IFC comedy series. Meyers referred to the band as "8GBand" in his tweet, a reference to Studio 8G, where Late Night will film, and which is next door to Studio 8H, which is the longtime home of SNL.
Here's the first photo of the new @LateNightSeth band! #8GBand pic.twitter.com/jR07bDIZXQ— Seth Meyers (@sethmeyers) February 10, 2014
Before switching gears to acting, Armisen played drums in the punk rock band Trenchmouth and in the Blue Man group back in the 1990s. He also often played musical instruments during sketches on SNL. Armisen most recently returned to Brooklyn Nine-Nine and SNL to help say goodbye to Meyers on his last show.
Late Night with Seth Meyers debuts on Monday, Feb. 24 at 11:35/10:35c on NBC. How do you think Armisen will do?

Biology Project
The Biology Project is an interactive online resource for learning biology developed at The University of Arizona for high school and above educators. The Biology Project is fun, richly illustrated, and tested on thousands of students. It has been designed for biology students at the college level, but is also useful for high schoolers, medical students, physicians, science writers, and all types of interested people. Teachers can assign problems sets for reviews before exams, or may want to assign an activity before students cover that topic in their laboratory. Computers are an excellent means of encouraging cooperative learning, so teachers might even have their students work in small groups. Students will find that the information covered in The Biology Project is probably just what they've been studying in their introductory biology course, and advanced students will find these materials to be a useful review. All students will benefit from the real-life applications of biology and the inclusion of up-to-date research findings.

Traveler wakes up on airliner, locked in and alone
CNN/Stylemagazine.com Newswire | 12/10/2013, 7:29 a.m.
By Steve Almasy
Tom Wagner woke up Friday night and the plane cabin was dark. And empty. Completely empty.
He looked around from his window seat near the back of the jet and wondered, "What is going on?"
He tried the jet door. It was locked.
Not knowing what else to do, he phoned his girlfriend and said, "Debbie, you gotta call the airlines. I'm locked in the plane."
She didn't quite believe him and started laughing.
"I said I'm serious," Wagner explained Monday morning on CNN's "New Day," chuckling about the conversation. "She finally hung up and called the airlines."
About 30 minutes later, the door opened.
Wagner, from Louisiana, was on his way to California to see his sister. The plane had a layover in Houston, Wagner said, so he took his hat off and took a nap.
Apparently a very deep sleeper, he didn't wake up when the plane landed. And somehow when airline employees were doing their usual sweep of the plane, they missed him. Dozens of passengers left the plane and so did the flight crew.
Wagner said he walked around the plane in the dark trying to figure out the best thing to do.
He said eventually workers opened the plane doors and, startled, asked him what he was doing in there.
He tried to explain calmly that he'd been left behind.
After his ordeal, he's been talking about what happened.
"I talk to people, (and they say) like, man, I'd have freaked out!"
Wagner stayed in a hotel room, on the airline, before flying to California the next day. He said United gave him a $250 voucher.
The flight was operated by ExpressJet, a United partner.
"ExpressJet is investigating to determine how this occurred. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience this caused for the passenger," the carrier said Saturday in a written statement.
ExpressJet told CNN affiliate KTRK there was a post-flight cabin inspection, but the company couldn't explain how Wagner was overlooked.

Just trying to get set up and up to date with a few emulator options and I'm finding it odd that I have the Aspect Ratio option disabled in the display settings and so forced to have a widescreen stretched display when trying to work it full screen, previous versions have been fine.
What I find even stranger, I set the desktop resolution to a 4:3 setting and SainT assumes the max possible resolution for full screen (1080p widescreen in my case) and sets accordingly rather than just using what the desktop is set as.
Anyone else having the same issue, know of a workaround?

BERKELEY — Cal left tackle Freddie Tagaloa had several of the Bears' running backs come at him as pass rushers in practice this week to simulate the speed he will encounter Saturday night against UCLA outside linebacker Anthony Barr.
That's appropriate because Barr is so fast that he actually has played running back for the Bruins, starting seven games as a sophomore in 2011.
"I'm very confident," Tagaloa said, "but I've got to respect his speed."
Tagaloa, a 6-foot-8, 330-pound sophomore from Richmond, might not have a greater challenge all season than Barr.
"This is a game you get up for," he said.
A first-team All-Pac-12 and second-team Associated Press All-America selection last year, Barr entered this fall as a consensus preseason All-America pick. He is considered first-round NFL draft material.
Last season, after being moved permanently to defense, Barr was second in the nation with 131/2 sacks. He has three this season, despite the fact he was asked to contain running quarterbacks, not chase after them, in the Bruins' games against Nebraska and Nevada.
The 6-4, 248-pounder also has forced three fumbles, an area of concern for Cal. The Bears are among the most fumble-prone teams in the country, losing nine in five games.
Tagaloa, who is responsible for protecting the backside of quarterback Jared Goff, said one thing jumps off the video screen when he watches Barr.
"His speed. Speed kills," Tagaloa said. "I see him get by defenders, dip his shoulder real low, and just how quick he is off the ball."
The Bears' prolific passing attack can deliver against the No. 11 Bruins, Tagaloa said, if he and his offensive line mates merely provide Goff a few seconds.
"As we've seen, when we give him time, most of the time it's a big play."
Tagaloa believes he is more ready for the assignment now than a couple of weeks ago, when his inconsistent play led coach Sonny Dykes to open up competition for his spot during the Bears' bye week. Tagaloa refocused and retained his job.
"It was something I needed, honestly. You become complacent and think you have the job," Tagaloa said. "Everybody needs a wake-up call, and I thank Sonny Dykes for doing that."

The failure of the Congressional "supercommittee" to come up with a $1.2 trillion, 10-year deficit reduction plan means that automatic "trigger" cuts might take place in discretionary spending—roughly half of which is supposed to come from the military budget. Corporate media have given extensive time to panicked warnings about the dangerous impact of military cuts, but made little mention of the effects of cutting other spending.
Under the "trigger" plan, the military budget is supposed to be reduced by almost $600 billion over the next decade—a move Republican politicians have vowed to block. Defense Secretary Leon Panetta has been quoted widely about this "catastrophic" possibility that would "tear a seam in the nation's defenses," decrying the reliance on a "crazy doomsday mechanism" and "a goofy meat-ax approach" (Washington Post, 11/4/11).
That message has been heard—and repeated—across the media. A Washington Post editorial (11/7/11) called the potential military cuts "an unconscionable act of political irresponsibility." ABC correspondent Jack Tapper (11/22/11) talked about "draconian cuts to the Pentagon budget."
On the CBS Evening News (11/22/11), Pentagon correspondent David Martin discussed Panetta's dire letter to Congress before reporting that the "across-the-board cuts would, according to the Pentagon, mean the loss of a million or more jobs in the defense industry, increasing unemployment by one percent." Those jobs figures have been challenged by experts outside the Pentagon (CNN.com, 11/3/11).
ABC pundit Cokie Roberts gushed (This Week, 11/27/11): "[Panetta's] a former budget director.... For him to say that quite strongly really means something." It's not at all surprising, of course, for D.C. officials to oppose cuts to their own departments' budgets.
These stories generally fail to present the military budget in any meaningful context. The Pentagon's base budget, which does not include much of the spending for wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, has increased substantially over the past 10 years—"from $390 billion in FY01 to $540 billion in FY11, a real increase of 38 percent," according to the Center for Arms Control and Non-Proliferation (3/11/10).
The proposed "draconian" cuts would force the Pentagon to make do with a budget equivalent to what it spent in 2007 (Project on Defense Alternatives, 10/11/11). Military analyst Winslow Wheeler (Center for Defense Information, 8/24/11) points out an annual base budget of this size—$472 billion—is $70 billion more than was spent in 2000, and would still constitute "more than twice the defense spending of China, Russia, Iran, Syria, Somalia, Cuba and any other potential adversary—combined."
And the proposed cuts are often reported as raw numbers—$800 billion or $1 trillion in total cuts over the next decade. As economist Dean Baker has noted (CEPR, 8/4/11), coverage should explain that over this period the military is scheduled to spend close to $8 trillion.
Never Miss a Beat.

Claims of catastrophic consequences from military cuts might also have been tempered by reminders that the Pentagon budget declined by close to 25 percent from 1989 to 1994—a historical context missing from most reports.
But what about the other half of the projected cuts—the ones that would affect an array of domestic spending? While there are no details about what is to be cut, media have shown far less interest in even exploring the possibilities, especially when compared to the panic over cutting military spending.
The "trigger" cuts exclude Social Security, Medicaid and some other key mandatory spending programs; they also place a limit on how much Medicare can be cut. The total non-military cuts for 2013 would be something on the order of $54.7 billion, according to the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities (11/22/11). According to the Congressional Budget Office (9/12/11), this could means cuts "ranging from 7.8 percent (in 2013) to 5.5 percent (in 2021) in the caps on new discretionary appropriations for nondefense programs."
Jim Davy of the non-partisan Education Trust (11/20/11) wrote of an 8 percent annual cut in Title I educational funding, which is directed at low-income students. A coalition warned that cuts at the Food and Drug Administration could be "substantial and serious" (Food Safety News, 11/23/11)— somewhere around 7 percent in 2013. And a Kaiser Health News article (11/21/11) laid out an array of areas that could see similar decreases, from public health to medical research to assistance for people living with HIV.
With such an array of spending cuts possible, one might expect more coverage to be devoted to the likely effects. But even reports that seemed designed to do that provided very little insight. On ABC's Good Morning America (11/21/11), host George Stephanopoulos introduced a segment on what the supercommittee failure "means for all of us"—along with an on-screen graphic that said, "How Will Cuts Affect You?"
But "you" seemed to mostly mean the military. After a passing reference to "automatic cuts that will hit virtually everything," correspondent Jonathan Karl (see Extra!, 7/11) declared that "the Pentagon will get hit hard," using Pentagon secretary Panetta for affirmation: "He says that he will be forced to cut the size of American ground forces to the smallest level since 1940."
On NBC Nightly News (11/21/11), anchor Brian Williams asked, "Do automatic and potentially cruel budget cuts now go into effect?" Reporter Kelly O'Donnell talked about cuts to a "range of domestic programs," but, like ABC's Karl, spent more time talking about the military, including a soundbite from Panetta and a warning from Republican Sen. John McCain that the cuts should be blocked.
The New York Times (11/22/11) described the budget battles to come as "likely to be a yearlong political fight over the automatic cuts to a broad range of military and domestic programs that would go into effect starting in 2013." The corporate media have shown a keen interest in discussing the military cuts. When will they explore what the rest of the budget cuts will mean to the country?

The problem is that, when this inevitably gets challenged (as it already did in Baake) in 25 years, it will lose and go away. You're discriminating on the basis of race. The court in Baake explicitly said that this won't be okay in 25 years. It won't be around too much longer.

The one category of exception to the rule is that many family history centers have community volunteers who are not members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. These volunteers have been allowed to use the New FamilySearch web site so that they can help the center's patrons. See Document ID: 100122 in the New FamilySearch Help Center. The Help Center document, which was published on 22 August 2010, also states, "The new FamilySearch Web site is now being prepared for public use. When the site becomes public, everyone will be able to use most of the features. A few features will be private (visible only to Church members)."
It is generally understood that the New.FamilySearch.org website will be incorporated into the FamilySearch.org site, likely in the format presently being tested in the Beta.FamilySearch.org website. I am guessing that public availability of the records in the New.FamilySearch.org site will begin shortly after the merger of the sites into the new, now Beta, version. See Help Center Document ID: 104908. This document from 17 September 2010 also says, "Once it [New FamilySearch] is on FamilySearch.org, it will be available to members and the general public alike. Those who are not members of the Church will have access to the pedigree tree and individual information but will not be able to see the temple ordinances." (text in [ ] added).
The New FamilySearch website, as it presently exists, is currently undergoing yet another beta test. There are still more changes that will be made to the site before it is combined with the now, Beta.FamilySearch.org into an integrated online database. Just as with the older, and still useful, Ancestral File, International Genealogical Index (IGI), and the Pedigree Resource File databases, there is gold mine of information. Despite its present limitations, the information in New FamilySearch will be a valuable addition to the genealogical community.

Taro River Regional Park
The Taro River Regional Park, also called the "Bird Park", covers 3,000 hectares following the Taro River for 20 km.
The Taro River is a body of water that has given life to a nature reserve: thanks to its continuous, but irregular flow, aspects of the landscape have been modified and thus a network of symbiotic environments and organisms has been created, which together make up the ecosystem of the Park: from the riverbed to the shores, there are areas with gravel, willows, shrubs, prairies with plateaus and woods that mix with cultivated fields.
The importance of this park is due to its avifauna: the Taro valley, in fact, is an important migration stop for birds, and has been recognized as such by Europe: the park is populated by colonies of herons, from the common tern, to the stone curlew, from ducks to cormorants and the rare bittern. The Park Centre is located inside the ancient monastery complex of the Corte di Giarola, where there are offices and a visitor's centre.
This Park's biodiversity is extensive in terms of flora thanks to the wide range of environments present in a single area.
Despite the high level of anthropization in this area, the floral checklist includes about 800 species, divided into 100 botanical families: among these there are many Habitat Directive protected species such as orchids, other wetland plants (Typha spp.) and some endemic species, which grow only in limited places and zones. Recent studies have identified 17 habitats of European interest, 6 of which have been recognized as high value zones according to the Directive guidelines.
The fauna here is one of the most important in terms of conservation efforts. The Taro Park has been designated as an Area of Special Protection and for this reason is part of the Important European Sites of the Nature 2000 network. This recognition is due to the presence of habitats which host more than 250 species of migratory birds some of which are recognized in Directive 79/409 CEE Birds.
Along the Taro valley, in fact, migratory birds stop here to nest, such as the little egret, the black-crowned night heron, the common tern, the stone curlew, and the sand martin. There are
also many mammals that make there home in the important area between the mountains and the plains in this Park.
In the river, where the water runs fast along its banks of gravel and sand, there are many fish species typical of Emilian tributaries that run into the Po such as the south European nase, barbs and Italian chubs. Among the amphibians, which can be seen mostly at the edge of the river where the water flows more slowly or pools, there are green frogs, common and green toads, tree frogs, northern crested newts and smooth newts.
Among the reptiles, worth mentioning are the European pond turtle, the common grass snake which often makes an appearance when swimming in search of prey, and the more unusual dice snake which is the most aquatic snake in the park.
Places of interest
There are many places of interest worth visiting in the park: the Chiesa di Madregolo, Villa Anguissola, Corte di Giarola, the Chiesa di Oppiano, and the Pieve of Fornovo. For hikers or visitors wishing to learn more about the area we recommend the walks detailed below. Lakes of Medesano: 1 hour. Noceto trail: 2 hours. Oppiano trail: 2 hours.

Chaparral offensive lineman Shane Callahan graduated last week — a semester early — and is set to make the cross-country drive to Auburn.
The 6-foot-6, 280-pound tackle — who is rated as the 25th-best recruit nationally at his position by rivals.com, and one of the top 2012 recruits from Colorado — says he can't wait to get to campus. He'll arrive Jan. 5, and begin working out soon thereafter.
The early arrival should help Callahan's development, both physically and in terms of adjusting to the college game. He'll have a huge edge over freshmen who enroll in the summer and fall.
Right around the time he graduated last week, Callahan got a visit from Auburn offensive line coach Jeff Grimes.

NEW YORK, Dec. 28 (UPI) -- A recording of a Talking Heads song called "Theme" performed in 1976 at New York's CBGB and previously thought lost has been posted online.
In an opening gig for Television July 30, 1976, Talking Heads performed the instrumental song as a three-piece band, Rolling Stone reported.
The song was posted online for the first time at talking-heads.net.
The recording begins with frontman David Byrne telling the audience, "This is an instrumental."
When a fan from the audience asks, "No title?" he responds, "We call it 'Theme,' but then we just keep it to ourselves."
The report did not say how the long-lost recording was found.
