|Helia Reini c.1917, Seattle, WA
Courtesy Viola Petersen
My grandmother used to tell a story of how one day Helia took it upon herself to get dressed up, carefully curling her hair, and went down to the local photographer to get her picture taken. I wonder if this is that day. They were a very poor immigrant Finnish family, so I wonder how she got the money together for the photo. (She probably even made this dress for herself since she was a talented seamstress from a young age.)
She did extremely well in school, making straight A's, sewed beautiful clothes for her family and played a large part in raising her four younger siblings. From all accounts, she was a very talented, kind and well loved girl.
Tragically, Helia passed away at the age of 18 on Oct 10, 1925. Her death certificate lists the cause of death as "diabetic coma". At this time she was the wife of George G Hawke. Her family was understandably brokenhearted to lose this very special girl. Aune thought so highly of her sister Helia that she spoke of her with deep love and in the most glowing of terms, almost on a daily basis, for the rest of her long life (96 years). Because of this, I grew up feeling like I knew her, so I am pleased to be able to share this memory of her with you.

Last week I went on a jog with our boys, Semi, Marcorel, and Emilien, as well as Ashley and a new teacher at our new school, John Michael. I was behind Semi when he stopped running briefly to buy a hot dog with some mustard at a roadside merchant. Then he started running again as he chowed on the dog. To add to the fun, Semi took John Michael and I through some alleyways so as to get ahead of Ashley and the other boys- or to shorten our run. Either way, to my humiliation, we were still behind Ashley and the boys.
Some more photos of our kids and others who are near and dear to my heart- completely unrelated to the running story. I just got a kick out of running with Semi. To know him is to love him!
Christella. This lovely young girl moved into our girls' home right before Xmas. A friend of the ministry heard she was living in a less-than-ideal situation, after living on the streets, and asked if we could take her into our home. She has especially bonded with the younger group of girls, but is slowly making her way with the older ones, now that she is in school with them.
Nelson and Esther, kids who live across the street from me and attend our feeding program
Lulu. This child in our feeding program loves to "pound" my fist whenever I pass him in the street. He has the widest, whitest, beaming smile.
I think this may be Lulu again. Either way, I just really like this picture and this adorable kid.

Nine people are dead and more than 20 are injured after a charter bus crashed on an icy highway in Oregon, according to Oregon State Police.
Police have not yet indicated what caused the crash, but images from highway I-84 show icy roads. The bus crashed through a guard rail at around 10:30 a.m. today and slid several hundred feet down an embankment, police said.
Emergency responders trained in rope rescues were on-scene helping bring people up from where the bus rolled back onto the highway, police said.
The crash happened about 10 miles east of Pendleton, Ore., in the Blue Mountains.
Investigators are still trying to determine whether the crash was weather-related, State Police spokesman Lt. Greg Hastings said.
"We'll have to move through our investigation throughout the day to try to determine what exactly were the contributing factors," he said.
The bus driver survived the crash but investigators had not be able to speak to the person early this evening because of the severity of the driver's injuries, officials said.
The Pendleton Fire Department told ABC affiliate KATU-TV in Portland that 39 people were taken to hospitals.
St. Anthony Hospital in Pendleton treated 26 people from the accident, including some who were treated and then transported to other medical facilities, hospital spokesman Larry Blanc told The Associated Press.
Officials are not yet releasing the bus company, but said the bus was enroute on a return trip from Las Vegas, Nevada to Vancouver, British Columbia.

Fred Couples, the former World Number One and Masters Champion, has confirmed that he will make his debut in The Senior Open Championship Presented by Rolex when it returns to Turnberry from July 26-29.
The 52 year old American, who was recently named one of Davis Love III's Assistant Captains for The 2012 Ryder Cup, joins an impressive field over the Ailsa Course next month, including Tom Watson, Bernhard Langer and Greg Norman, who also recently confirmed he will return to Turnberry where he won The 1986 Open Championship.
Couples, who played in five Ryder Cups, will be hoping for immediate success in The Senior Open Championship Presented by Rolex, having come so close to winning The Claret Jug on several occasions.
He finished tied third in The 1991 Open Championship at Royal Birkdale following a final round 64, and was tied third again in 2005 at St Andrews.
The 1992 Masters Tournament winner finished in the top ten in The Open Championship on nine occasions, and he is hoping to use that experience of links golf as the foundation for his Turnberry bid next month.
"Turnberry's a phenomenal course," said Couples, who will captain the US Presidents Cup Team for a third time in 2013. "I played in The Open there the year Greg Norman won, and he shot an unbelievable score one day. So, you know, whether it's the Women's Open, the regular Open or The Senior Open Championship at Turnberry, it's going to be a hard, hard course, especially when the wind blows.
"Any of those links courses are hard. The first year I turned 50 I had to skip The Senior Open because the US Open was in Seattle where I grew up, and it was the week after. And then last year I was not playing golf in July or August, so I didn't go. But this year I'm going and I'm really looking forward to it.
"I've been associated with Rolex forever and they're a sponsor of it, so I talked to them at the US Open and said I'm going to play.
"The people in Scotland are so enthusiastic and we get great crowds. When the wind is blowing and, say, if you have a five iron and you just get it on the green, they think it's a great shot and so do we. So they know what is going on. It's very difficult. I don't know how they'll set Turnberry up, but it will be a great week."
Discounted advance tickets to see Couples, Norman, Langer, Watson and a world class field, including new US Senior PGA Champion Roger Chapman of England, at The 2012 Senior Open Championship Presented by Rolex at Turnberry can now be purchased online.
Tickets can be booked online at www.senioropengolf.com where other discounts and offers can also be found.
Hospitality packages for each of the four Championship days are also now available at £95 per person inc VAT, which includes admittance to the course along with a three-course lunch and glass of champagne in Turnberry's signature restaurant, 1906, reserved parking, a Championship programme and a draw sheet.
American Russ Cochran won The 2011 Senior Open Championship at Walton Heath, England, holding off the challenge of former Open Champion Mark Calcavecchia, three-time Senior Open Champion Watson and 2010 United States Ryder Cup Captain Corey Pavin.
Watson will be returning to Turnberry where he won The Open Championship in 1977, defeating Jack Nicklaus in the famous 'Duel in the Sun', and The Senior Open Championship in 2003, defeating Carl Mason in a play-off. He also came agonisingly close to winning the Claret Jug over the Ailsa Course in 2009 at the age of 59, losing in a play-off to compatriot Stewart Cink.

RSS is a family of web feed formats used to publish frequently updated content such as blog entries, news headlines or podcasts. An RSS document, which is called a "feed," "web feed," or "channel," contains either a summary of content from an associated web site or the full text. RSS makes it possible for people to keep up with their favorite web sites in an automated manner that's easier than checking them manually.
RSS content can be read using software called a "feed reader" (see software list right) or an "aggregator." The user subscribes to a feed by entering the feed's link into the reader or by clicking an RSS icon in a browser that initiates the subscription process. The reader checks the user's subscribed feeds regularly for new content, downloading any updates that it finds.
Basically, when a new article is posted or a change made to a webpage, RSS keeps track of the changes and delivers them to you. RSS feeds are most often attached to text, images, podcasts and video, but they can be used with any document (word processing and spreadsheets) that has content that changes.
Aggregators are the most common use of feeds, and there are several types. Web aggregators make this view available in a Web page; my Yahoo or iGoogle are well-known examples of this. Aggregators have also been integrated into e-mail clients, users' desktops, or standalone, dedicated software.
Aggregators can offer a variety of special features, including combining several related feeds into a single view, hiding entries that the viewer has already seen, and categorizing feeds and entries.
Other uses of feeds include site tracking by search engines and other software; because the feed is machine-readable, the search software doesn't have to figure out which parts of the site are important and which parts are just the navigation and presentation. You may also choose to allow people to republish your feeds on their Web sites, giving them the ability to represent your content as they require.
One of the original uses for RSS is the ability to create a unique newspaper with new content waiting for you every morning. You can get your news headlines, search for jobs, read your favorite articles, get software updates, keep up with other people's schedules and follow calendar listings for your favorite clubs and venues. You can see what others are saying about your hobbies or keep up with what others are saying about your interests. All without surfing through pop-up ads, slow downloads and poorly navigated sites. RSS saves time.
There are various ways. You may see this on web pages, which is a link to the RSS feed or a page of feeds. Copy the url (the web address) of the feed you want and paste it in your reader to subscribe. Many pages offer one-click subscription to well-known aggregators like NewsGator, Bloglines, Rojo and Google Reader. The latest versions of the popular web browsers Firefox, Chrome, Safari and IE now incorporate RSS feeds into their bookmark programs. If your bookmarks are showing updated content, you are subscribed to RSS feeds and you don't even know it.
You can access RSS feeds on any mobile device and many cell phones or via e-mail as well as on a computer.

How to
Use the Activities
Inquiry Question
In this lesson, students have examined the protests that the National Woman's Party (NWP) carried out in Lafayette Park in front of the White House between 1917 and 1920 to secure for all American women the right to vote. These protests asserted the women's rights under the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution and paved the way for thousands of citizens and others to present their causes to the President on his own doorstep. The following activities will help students integrate and expand on what they have learned.
Activity 1: Following in the Women's Footsteps
Activity 2: Planning for Protest
By the 1980s, some protesters were maintaining continuous vigils with elaborate semi-permanent signs and displays. Tourists complained that the large signs blocked their view of the White House. Ask the class to discuss how they would go about making decisions that would balance the rights of the protesters to free speech and the rights of citizens to enjoy a public park and see the home of their president. After the discussion, tell the students that what the Park Service eventually did was to limit each protester to two non-hand carried signs, to restrict the size of the signs to less than four feet by four feet, and to require the protester to remain with the sign(s) at all times. Ask the students whether they think that solution was a reasonable compromise.
Activity 3: First Amendment Rights
During the course of the 20th century, U.S. Supreme Court decisions gradually provided answers to these questions. The process was difficult, because people have very deep feelings about many of the issues involved and disagree strongly.
Divide the students into groups and ask each group to select one right mentioned in the First Amendment. Have them conduct research to identify important Supreme Court cases dealing with that right. They can find useful information in some of the websites and books listed in the Supplementary Resources section of this lesson. Ask each group to select one particular case and to write up the most important arguments used by both sides. Ask them to hold one or more mock trials, defending their positions in front of the whole class. Ask the class to reach a decision and then discuss why they agreed or disagreed with the Supreme Court's decision.
Activity 4: Women and Violence
Some students may want to study other non-violent campaigns for political change, such as Mohandas Gandhi's campaign for Indian independence from Great Britain in the early 20th century or the American Civil Rights Movement of the 1950s and 1960s. How did they resemble the women's suffrage campaign? How did they differ? Were the efforts of the authorities to suppress freedom of expression successful in any of these cases?
Activity 5: First Amendment Rights in the Local Community
Are there places in the community associated with these disputes? Ask the students if they think these places should be recognized or preserved. Hold a discussion about whether it is important to commemorate painful community events or whether it is better to forget about them as soon as possible.

I'm on a train to Paris.
Somehow, if I can help it, I like most to sit facing backwards. I have no idea why, but it makes me feel more at ease. Visiting friends this time. Super short, just three days. We're usually scattered all over the globe, every one of us busy as hell, with only the occasional skype or imessage or whatsapp to keep in touch. And the occasional tongue-in-cheek over instagram of course... what else...
So once in a while, we'd be kind of on the same continent, with kind of the same flexibility in our schedules.... a message here, a message there... and suddenly it appears it might actually be possible to physically meet up this time. Yes, sure, more often than not, something still comes up and none of us can make it. Yes, sure, we know we've got so much business to take care of that we'll hardly have time to talk. But I'll wager that it isn't the actual reason why we relentlessly keep on trying to meet up time and again. And as much as I now already miss home, I'm looking forward to this one: that split second of looking each other in the eye again after so long, instantly seeing all is ok, and having a drink. This is what it's about.
Oh, and details get filled in at the inevitable late night campfire that follows, of course.
I'm on a train to Paris.

At 1:36 p.m. a man wearing a black stocking cap handed a teller a threatening note at a Chase Bank branch in the 1200 block of North State Parkway on the Near North Side, according to Chicago Police Department News Affairs Officer Daniel O'Brien.
The teller complied and the robber, who did not display a gun, escaped with an undisclosed amount of cash, said O'Brien.
No one was hurt and the robber, who stands about 5 feet, 5 inches tall and weighs about 130 pounds, remains at large as of about 3 p.m.

International Nameplate Automobile Dealers Announce Monthly Sales
Nov 02, 2012, 12:14 ET
Despite Sandy's Impact, Sales Continue to Rise
ALEXANDRIA, Va., Nov. 2, 2012 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The American International Automobile Dealers Association (AIADA) today released October 2012 sales figures for the international nameplate automobile industry. AIADA represents America's approximately 10,000 international nameplate franchises whose brands accounted for 55.4 percent of all vehicles sold in the United States last month.
Despite Hurricane Sandy stifling end-of-month sales from Virginia to Rhode Island, AutoData Corp. estimated the seasonally adjusted annual rate (SAAR) at 14.29 million units, an improvement over 13.34 million units one year ago. Sales for all brands, unadjusted for business days, were up 6.9 percent from October 2011 and 13.8 percent year over year.
Subaru (up 30.1 percent), Toyota (up 16.8 percent), and Volkswagen (up 22.4 percent) enjoyed the biggest gains from October 2011. Nissan, whose stronghold is in the northeast, saw sales fall 6 percent from October 2011. In response to the storm, Nissan and Infiniti will both offer employee discounts and financing to eligible residents in FEMA disaster areas. Across the board, incentives were down 2.9 percent from September and 5.6 percent from October 2011.
"Hurricane Sandy may have put a crimp in sales, but consumer confidence and personal income are both climbing," said AIADA President Cody Lusk. "That's good news for auto dealers and the communities they support."
In October, international brands accounted for 606,029 units sold, down from 666,301 in September. Asian nameplates occupied 44.4 percent of the U.S. auto market, down from 46.1 percent in September. European nameplates rose from a 10 percent share in September to an 11 percent in October. Domestic brands finished the month with a 44.5 percent share of the market, up half a percentage point from September.

As consumers, our willingness to adopt emerging technologies is unprecedented. Facebook now has over 1B users, and more than half of them are using their mobile devices to access the site. Last year alone there were 427M smartphones sold – outpacing Windows-based PCs by a wide margin. Our personal lives have become much more social, mobile and collaborative, requiring our security to move as we do. Our family of mobile solutions secures your data, devices and privacy.
Not surprisingly, our personal lifestyles are transforming our expectations at work. As employees, we are demanding the same kind of freedom we have at home:
This trend is known as the "consumerization" of IT services at work – a spread of consumer-friendly technologies into the workplace.
Supporting a flexible workspace that provides users with easy access to corporate resources and services – from personal or corporate owned devices – can help make employees more productive. However, it is fundamentally more difficult and expensive to support the growing number of platforms, and it presents considerable new risk.
In a recent survey conducted on behalf of Trend Micro we discovered that of those organizations that deployed "Bring Your Own Device" programs, nearly half (46.5%) suffered a data/security breach as a result. Yet, in another study, almost 70% increased bottom line revenues as a result of a BYOD program (Forrester Research).
Trend Micro innovations such as Mobile App Reputation technology, mobile device management, mobile application management, and context-aware data protection help companies embrace BYOD for the productivity benefits it provides, without exposing users or their data to risk.
In the post-PC world, our Complete End User Protection solution is comprehensive, cost effective, and modular to enable an organization to deploy the right amount of security for their industry, environment, and unique requirements.
Find out how the right security strategy can help you embrace consumerization and unlock business opportunity.

There are just five more days until Christmas. If you celebrate the holiday, are you finished with all your planning? Do you still have last-minute things you need to take care of? A few gifts on your list that you haven't purchased yet? If so, you're not alone. Many people tend to wait until the Saturday before Christmas to finish up their holiday shopping. Whether you get a thrill from getting it all done on Christmas Eve or you've just been a bit busy, here are some last-minute tips to help you get ready for the big day.
Shopping for gifts
Last-minute presents can actually be quite meaningful to the recipient even though they weren't purchased ahead of time. Experience gifts are great because you can get creative (print your own pet sitting certificate, have someone sing a holiday song for your loved one ) and you don't necessarily have to wrap them which will save you a bit of time. Other ideas include:
- Baked goods
- Digital book or digital magazine subscription
- Erin's audiobook Unclutter Your Life in One Week or any audiobook your recipient might enjoy
- Gift card to a favorite restaurant or place to visit
If you choose to buy a physical gift, you can avoid the stores and shop online. Many online retailers offer a variety of shipping options, but be sure to confirm that they can indeed deliver your order by December 24. And, as usual, stick to your list so you don't overbuy and clutter your home with unnecessary gifts.
Decorating your home or office
Holiday decor will bring a festive mood to any room. But, when you're short on time, it probably won't be possible to decorate your entire home or office, so select a few areas that you can easily add a few decorative items. A handful of candy canes in a glass bowl can be a simple (and yummy) way to bring a little holiday cheer to a space. Your efforts don't have to be incredibly involved.
Preparing for holiday parties
If you plan on entertaining and hosting your own holiday party, consider asking your guests to bring their favorite dish or beverage. That will save some time on grocery shopping and reduce the time you spend cooking and cleaning up afterward. When you are in the kitchen, it will probably be helpful for you to cook something you've had success with making in the past so you don't try to figure out how to make something new. And, if you're going to have overnight guests, be sure you have clean towels, bed linens, and toiletries on hand — but now is not the time to redecorate the guest room.
Check out our 2012 Holiday Gift Giving Guide for more ideas, and remember, no matter what you have left to get done, you also need to have fun and enjoy your time with friends and family.


text: The moment I walked into the gorgeous studio/showroom of design duo Megan Sommerville and Matt Ensner in upstate New York I knew I was in for a treat. Not only did I get to meet one of the most talented couples I've ever met, but also was dazzled by the beautiful craftsmanship in their furniture and lighting collection. Founders of Materia Designs, the couple moved to the Hudson Valley a few years back to start their business where they bought an old bungalow in need of loads of TLC. With their creative spirits in overdrive, Megan and Matt didn't think twice to roll up their sleeves and emerged themselves into a challenging renovation. Luckily for us, they have opened the doors of 'The Cape' (as they like call it their nest) to showcase the stunning transformation and the results of their hard work. I recently chatted with Megan about their project of love and some of the ins and outs of the design process. Here is what she said:

WASHINGTON -- Jordan Zimmermann shook his head and grimaced, trying to come up with an answer that has evaded the Washington Nationals. The easy thing is to describe what has happened: Their hugely anticipated season has deteriorated into a mediocre performance, backfiring offseason splashes and baseball's inherent variance turning against them. It is far more difficult to explain why. "You guys keep asking the question. And we don't really have an answer," Zimmermann said. "I think we're better than everyone out there. It's not showing." In the spring, experts predicted a parade down Pennsylvania Avenue, and scouts scoured the Nationals' roster for a weakness without success. In the first week after the all-star break, the Nationals lost six straight, a hitting coach lost his job against the manager's wishes, an 11-0 loss followed a rousing victory and a clubhouse staple lashed out at management. The Nationals entered Saturday 50-54, only one game closer to the first-place Atlanta Braves than the last-place Miami Marlins. To match last year's win total, the Nationals would have to finish an absurd 48-10. "It just shows you that it's not easy to be good," third baseman Ryan Zimmerman said. "People shouldn't take that for granted. People should understand how good of a year we had last year. A lot of guys last year had really good years all in the same year. It's not easy to do that, year in, year out, no matter how good you're supposed to be on paper." The reason behind their crash has vexed players and officials inside and outside the Nationals' clubhouse. "They should be scoring more than they have," Los Angeles Dodgers starter Zack Greinke said after he shut the Nationals down last week. General Manager Mike Rizzo has been just as baffled. "We're in the midst of trying to assess that," Rizzo said. "We still think we have two months to figure it out. . . . I still like this ballclub. I still believe in it." Some answers skew intangible. "I don't see the fire and inspiration with the club right now," said one Nationals official, who was granted anonymity in order to speak freely. "That may go along with not winning. It's frustrating for us." The notion of crumbling under expectations seems too cliche to factor into the answer of why the Nationals have sunk. But "to totally discount it is not telling the truth," Zimmerman said. "This year, we weren't going to surprise anybody," reliever Tyler Clippard said. "They were kind of gunning for us. That's how you want it because you can definitely use it to your advantage. But we have to learn how to do that. And I don't think we've done that yet. That's just a process of figuring out who we are." In some regards, the Nationals have been playing worse, not better, as the season has worn on. The pressure from high expectations has turned into pressure to snap out of their malaise -- they're running in quicksand, leading to bad at-bats, especially in the clutch. "Trying to go up there and hit a three-run homer with nobody on base, over-swinging at times," center fielder Denard Span said. "I think our approach at times, offensively, I think we've put more pressure on ourselves than we've needed to." In the quest to determine why the Nationals have unraveled, such generalities won't satisfy exasperated fans. But no singular answer will, either. Rather, five specific shortcomings (with all statistics through Friday) have combined to turn a season of promise into -- thus far -- months of frustrations. The Nationals' offense overall has been an albatross -- if not for the Marlins, they would rank last in the National League in runs per game (3.66), on-base percentage (.299) and on-base-plus-slugging percentage (.682). Almost every regular player in the lineup has stepped back from last year or produced below his career norm. Steady contributors like Zimmerman (who has his lowest OPS since 2008) and Ian Desmond (whose OPS is down from .845 to .791) may not be disappointments, but their collective regression has chipped away at high expectations. The Nationals fundamentally changed their offense, moving away from a reliance on thunder in the middle of the lineup when they swapped out Michael Morse for a prototypical leadoff hitter in Span. "The loss of Morse is greater than they will admit," one NL scout said. But the greatest lack of production has come from their left-handed hitters. Manager Davey Johnson has frequently pointed to his lefty regulars as primary culprits in the flagging offense. Adam LaRoche and Span, Rizzo's key offseason re-signing and biggest trade acquisition, have been replacement-level hitters. Span has been dropped to seventh in the lineup in the middle of his worst offensive season, hitting .258 with a .314 on-base percentage and a .348 slugging percentage. Johnson pushed the Nationals hard to re-sign LaRoche in order to provide more left-handed balance. In the first year of his two-year, $25 million deal, LaRoche is hitting .240/.324/.418. Bryce Harper could have alleviated the Nationals' left-handed hitting woes, but since leaping into the outfield wall on the road against the Atlanta Braves in late April, his production has flagged. He valiantly played through injury before he landed on the disabled list and has not recaptured his otherworldly start to the season. In 40 games since the crash into the wall, Harper has hit .219/.333/.380. Collectively, Nationals left-handed batters have been abominable against left-handed pitchers, hitting .168/.235/.231 in 321 plate appearances. As a team, the Nationals have hit .211 against lefties, by far the worst in the majors. The other offensive scourge has been the Nationals' bench, which last year was one of the greatest strengths. Like last year, a rash of early injuries led to the Nationals leaning on their reserve players. Unlike last year, they have scuffled. The Nationals' seven most frequently used reserves -- Steve Lombardozzi, Roger Bernadina, Tyler Moore, Chad Tracy, Jeff Kobernus, Chris Marrero and Scott Hairston -- have taken 17.9 percent of the team's non-pitcher plate appearances. In those 627 plate appearances, they have hit .196 with 36 extra-base hits, 30 walks and 141 strikeouts. Aside from the trade for Hairston, who effectively replaced Moore, the Nationals' bench has remained static all season. Rizzo has been steadfast in his belief the group will rise to its prior level, although he intimated Sunday he may try to upgrade. Either way, last year's excellence from the bench can hardly be counted on. "Not to say they can't do that, but it's hard to have people do that off the bench like that," Zimmerman said. "That's pretty much unheard of. When we had those same kind of injuries this year, we didn't get that much production. That's not their fault. You don't expect that from people who don't play every day." With little fanfare, Rizzo chose to let John Lannan walk away and did not extend Edwin Jackson a one-year, $13.3 million qualifying offer. (That decision still mystifies many around the league, who believed there was no chance Jackson would accept the offer. The move cost the Nationals a first-round draft pick and the draft pool money that would have come with it.) Rizzo filled the fifth starter spot with Dan Haren, perhaps the most accomplished starter available in free agency. By the numbers -- a 5.79 ERA and a league-leading 21 homers allowed -- he has been perhaps the worst starting pitcher in the majors this season. Haren's struggles have been compounded by injuries to Ross Detwiler. The Nationals have gone 15-27 in games started by anyone other than Stephen Strasburg, Gio Gonzalez and Zimmermann. "The talent is here," Haren said. "Everyone knows that. It's just a matter of performing. There's a lot of guys on the team that need to be better - mostly myself." Free agent Rafael Soriano has been a fine closer, saving 25 games in 29 chances. But the Nationals' reconfiguration of the bullpen still has led to a series of small calamities, culminating with the demotion Friday of Drew Storen, a 25-year-old former first-round pick who once saved 43 games. Rizzo has admitted the mistake of beginning the season with Zach Duke, who was more accustomed to starting, as their lone left-handed reliever. The call-ups of Ian Krol and Fernando Abad have stabilized the left side of the bullpen, but their presence can't erase two months of blowups. Johnson's usage of his relievers has been questionable in some ways. Despite Storen's struggles, he leads the team with 47 appearances. Clippard clearly has been the Nationals' best reliever, but in crucial spots Storen has more appearances. Clippard has pitched in 46 games, and only 18 appearances have come in high-leverage situations, according toBaseball-Reference.com
. The Nationals were expected to have one of the best defenses in the majors. They have instead been one of the worst. The Nationals rank 23rd in UZR, the catch-all defensive metric used byFanGraphs.com
, and their 72 errors are the sixth most in the majors. Zimmerman's throwing has improved from an early-season crisis, but he leads the majors with 11 throwing errors, and his 16 total errors are one off the league high. LaRoche, a Gold Glover in 2012, has been average at best -- FanGraphs rates him 23rd out of 25 first basemen to play at least 500 innings. The root of the shortcomings has been difficult to find. During one rough defensive patch over the weekend, one scout who follows the Nationals texted, "When did they start playing like the Bad News Bears?" The best explanation also may be the simplest: The Nationals haven't met expectations because the expectations were set too high. Despite the constellation of young stars and reliable veterans on their roster, few had elite track records. Only two players -- Gonzalez and Haren -- had been selected to multiple all-star teams. Only LaRoche and Jayson Werth had finished top 10 in a season MVP voting. In the spring, the incandescent memories of the second half of 2012 still held prominence. They scored 4.8 runs per game in the second half of the season, riding career performances from LaRoche, Desmond, Kurt Suzuki, the entire bench -- too many hitters to name. It may have been asking too much to duplicate a charmed confluence. Even if the Nationals can't say why they're at this point, they now must figure out how to pull themselves out. Two months remain, and the weak National League East has kept alive their chances to crawl back into contention. "The longer that we struggle, the more pressure we're going to put on ourselves, the more that we have to fight to get out of it," Haren said. "Time is running out. We were saying months ago that we've got plenty of time. But the games are dwindling."

When Patrick said he had two girlfriends, I was sure it was a joke and couldn't actually be in this movie. But it sure was. Was it supposed to be cute and endearing? At that point I mostly stopped caring what happened to him.
patrick's a teenager. personally i found it refreshing to see a teenage boy in a movie being exactly as they are: self absorbed and immature.

Facebook Adds Share Tracker, Details on Memorial Profiles
Are you the only one sharing that video or article on Facebook? Probably not. To keep track of how many people are posting certain items, Facebook on Monday added a Digg-like tracker that shows you exactly how many times users have posted it on the social network.
"For instance, if you come across an interesting news story on The Huffington Post or the latest gadget on Chip Online, you'll be able to watch the number on the counter climb as more people share the item with their friends," Facebook wrote in a blog post. "This makes it easy to see what is being shared the most."
Any Web site can add this new Facebook Share button, Facebook said. More detailed information for developers is available on the site's developers' blog.
Facebook also recently rolled out a Suggestions page intended to let active members help new members fill out their profiles by suggesting friends, groups, or other activities.
Also today, Facebook provided more details on the process for memorializing the profiles of deceased members. The company said that deceased members will not appear in the new suggestions box, and that only confirmed friends can see that person's profile or find them in search.
"Memorializing an account also prevents anyone from logging into it in the future, while still enabling friends and family to leave posts on the profile Wall in remembrance," Facebook said.
Friend or family members can report profiles that need to be memorialized here.
In August, Facebook agreed to tweak its privacy policy at the behest of Canadian privacy officials. One of the stipulations was that Facebook provide more information about who has access to the profiles of deceased members for memorial purposes.

MONTEVALLO, Ala. – The Georgia College women's basketball team (4-20, 2-13 PBC) dropped a tough Peach Belt Conference (PBC) West Division contest Saturday at the University of Montevallo (10-14, 5-10 PBC) 51-41.
The Bobcats led at the half 22-21 but it wouldn't hold as the Falcons ran away in the second half on their home court.
The freshman duo of Enisha Donley (Loganville, Ga.) and Shanteona Keys (Roswell, Ga.) scored 15 points each to power the offense for GC. Keys added five rebounds and a pair of assists, while Donley went 6-of-11 from the floor and added four caroms of her own.
The leading rebounder once again for the Bobcats was rookie Belinda Schaafsma (Momence, Ill.), yanking down eight boards, including six on the defensive end.
Tied at 31-31 with just over 10 minutes left in the second half, the Falcons promptly went on a 12-3 run to take over control of the game.
Neither team shot well in the defensive battle, as GC actually out-shot UM 30 percent (15-50) to 28 percent (15-54). The difference came at the charity stripe, as the Falcons hit 19-of-21 to GC's 6-of-10.
The Falcons' lone double-digit scorer was Tiffany McClure with 12, but the balance of five others with six or more points helped Montevallo to the win.
The Bobcats are back in action Wednesday, Feb. 22 at 5:30 p.m., taking on Georgia Southwestern State University on the road.
The Georgia College Department of Athletics, two-time winners of the PBC Commissioner's Cup, sponsors 10 varsity athletic programs at the NCAA Division II level.

Brewing a greener cuppa joe at Starbucks and Thanksgiving Coffee
The Gunther Report
Brewing a greener cuppa joe at Starbucks and Thanksgiving Coffee
Aside from being in the coffee trade, Starbucks and Thanksgiving Coffee would appear to have little in common.
Seattle-based Starbucks is a FORTUNE 500 company (2011 revenues: $11.7 billion) that sells its brews all over the world, pursues global dominance (its latest outpost is Helsinki) and owns an iconic brand. The company bought about 428 million pounds of coffee last year.
Thanksgiving Coffee is a family-owned, artisan roaster that sells most of its coffee to grocers, specialty stores and restaurants near its home base in Mendocino County, CA, where the other popular crop is often smoked. Thanksgiving bought about 500,000 pounds of coffee last year.
Yet the big coffee company and the little one share a couple of important goals.
First, they want to win the trust of their customers and, of course, their own employees. One way to do that is by showing them that their coffee is ethically sourced. Starbucks talks about responsibly grown coffee, citing its Coffee and Farmer Equity (CAFE) Practices, a set of social, economic, environmental and quality guidelines. Thanksgiving's slogan is "Not Just a Cup, but a Just Cup." Reputation matters, whether you are big or small.
But, even if reputation didn't matter (and to most customers, it probably doesn't), Starbucks and Thanksgiving need to devote their attention to the social and environmental practices of their growers, upon whom they depend for a reliable supply of high-quality coffee. If their coffee farmers run into trouble -- because of low coffee prices, poor environmental practices or climate change -- Starbucks and Thanksgiving will struggle, too.
The other day, I wrote about the Fair Trade movement and its efforts to improve the lives of coffee growers. (See my blog post, A Schism over Fair Trade.) About 9 percent of the coffee sold by Starbucks in the U.S. is certified as Fair Trade; all of Thanksgiving's coffee is Fair Trade certified. Today, I'll dig a bit deeper into the ways Starbucks and Thanksgiving work with growers.
By way of background, coffee, as you may know, is the most widely traded agricultural commodity in the tropics, providing a livelihood to tends of millions of farmers. (Brazil and Vietnam are the largest exporters, followed by Colombia, Ethiopia and Indonesia.) Historically, the relationship between buyers and growers has been transactional; prices paid to farmers sometimes didn't cover their costs, forcing them into cycles of debt and poverty. Cheap, low-grade coffee known as robusta is still traded as global commodity, with wildly fluctuating prices, sometimes less than $1 a pound.
At Starbucks, I spoke by phone with Ben Packard, vice president of global responsibility, and Kelly Goodejohn, director of ethical sourcing. (Disclosure: Ben is a friend, and we're both members of the board of Net Impact.) They told me that Starbucks has worked with Conservation International, a global nonprofit, since 1998 on coffee buying; together they launched CAFE practices in 2004. Their relationship isn't arms-length; Starbucks pays CI for its advice and consulting services. Starbucks has pledged to have 100 percent of its coffee "ethically sourced," either by meeting the CAFE practices standards, or by being certified as Fair Trade or Organic, by 2015. In 2011, about 86 percent was certified.
The CAFE practices program has 249 (!) indicators to measure growers' social and environmental performance -- everything from the wages and benefits they provide to their use of pesticides and water. They are classified in three categories: Verified, Preferred and Strategic. "The goal is continuous improvement," Ben told me.
Farmers that perform well enough to enter the program are rewarded with higher prices, technical support and, in some cases, loans. Starbucks paid an average price of $1.56 per pound for our premium green (unroasted) coffee in 2010.
Since 2008, Starbucks and CI have monitored and evaluated the program to see what difference it is making on the ground. "Almost all the indicators are moving in the right direction," Kelly said. Between 2008 and 2010, about 30 percent of the farms that were certified moved up a category. About 99 per cent did not convert any natural forest to farmland. The added income made a difference, too.
"More CAFE practices farmers sent their children to secondary school," Kelly said. Not everything was working as well as it should. Between 19 and 23 percent of farms applied chemicals within 10 meters of bodies of water. Between 8 and 31 percent of mills failed to provide their workers with clean drinking water.
Justin Ward and Bambi Semroc, who oversee the program for CI, concurred that most of the findings were positive. What makes the Starbucks program a standout, Justin said, is the company's willingness to measure impact and be open about what it has found. You can download the 153-page report here.
At Thanksgiving Coffee, I spoke over Skype with Ben Corey-Moran, the president and director of coffee, about the company's work helping farmers in Rwanda adapt to climate change. Climate change is a worry for growers: A peer-reviewed study reports that higher temperatures are already allowing a pest known as coffee borer beetle to spread further in East Africa, threatening livelihoods, and a coffee journal, Fresh Cup, devoted a recent issue to climate change threats and adaptation.
Ben told me that Thanksgiving is very focused on its growers. "We envision ourselves as the bridge that connects coffee lovers with farmers on the other side of the world," he said. "How can every transaction, how can every pound of coffee we buy and sell be sourced in a way that restores the environment and benefits the farmers?"
Thanksgiving Coffee was invited to work in Rwanda in 2004 by USAID, which was helping rebuild the Rwandan coffee industry. The company, to its surprise, found fruit that was literally dying on the vine. "I'd never seen a crop fail before it had actually been harvested," Ben said. Farmers told him that summers were drier than they had been. "We've always know that weather affects our business. Climate change makes that weather more extreme," he said.
The solution was fairly obvious. Coffee is best grown under a shade canopy. In Rwanda, it was being grown in the open sun. So Thanksgiving Coffee, with the help of a Dutch nonprofit named Progreso and a Rwandan NGO called, Redi, began a tree-planting project, to create a forest canopy.
Together they financed the construction of seedling nurseries, hired agronomists and brought information technology to the Dukunde Kawa cooperative, which has about 1,800 farmer-owners. Tree planting does more than cool the coffee as it ripens; it helps protect topsoil, buffers the impact of rain and allows the soil to retain more moisture during dry periods. "We can't change the weather, but maybe we can change the way the farms withstand the weather," Ben said. For an investment of less than $40,000, the farmers and their allies planted about 300,000 trees.
Neither Starbucks' CAFE practices nor Thanksgiving's Rwanda work (which just won an award from the specialty coffee association) are charity projects. But they're not business as usual either. They require a long-term horizon and an expansive view of the firm's responsibility. They aim to turn what had been transactions between the buyers and growers of coffee into durable, win-win relationships.

HICKORY, N.C. – The Coker men's basketball team dropped its South Atlantic Conference game, 77-68, to the Lenoir-Rhyne Bears on Wednesday (Feb. 26) night.
Julian Nelson powered the Cobra offense with a team leading 18 points and four rebounds, while Errick Bethel poured in 16 points, 12 of which came from beyond the arc. Trey Marshall added eight points with five rebounds and Donte Samuels chipped in seven points and pulled down four boards.
The Cobras held a four-point advantage, 38-34, as they headed to the locker room at halftime. The Bears came out the break ready to battle and quickly tied the game at 42 with 16 minutes remaining. After L-R took the lead, the Cobras managed to keep the game close, and even cut the Bear's advantage to just one thanks to a Bethel three-ball with 11 minutes left. Unfortunately for Coker, the Bears would hold off the Cobras for the remainder of the game taking home the 77-68 win.
Coker will return to action for its final regular season game of the season on Saturday (Mar. 1) at Tusculum. Tip-off is scheduled for 4 p.m. Currently, the Cobras are seventh place in the SAC standings. The top eight teams advance to the 2014 Food Lion SAC Men's Basketball Tournament.

Latest News
After days of death and protest, Sunday brought quiet to Cairo's streets
Gen. Abdel-Fatah el Sissi, Egypt's minister of defense and the nation's strong man, made his first public comments about the violence that led to more than 1,000 deaths, including another 79 Saturday, offering a conciliatory tone to his rivals, supporters of ousted President Mohammed Morsi.
But el Sissi and military-appointed government officials named after Morsi's July 3 ouster, defended their actions, saying they were protecting the state from those who want to destroy it. Without naming the Muslim Brotherhood, the secret organization through which Morsi ascended to the presidency, they instead described their foes as groups aiming to "intimidate the citizens."
Meanwhile, on a day when quiet had settled on streets that had been scenes of violent clashes during the past week, 36 Islamist prisoners were killed during an attempted jailbreak, according to Egypt's official MENA news agency, which said that report came from an unnamed security official.
The prisoners reportedly kidnapped a police officer and were assisted by "unknown gunmen," according to the news agency. It reported that a Muslim Brotherhood-connected group alleged that police had killed the inmates during a transfer to another prison.
Speaking of the violence this past week, el Sissi and others repeatedly commended the government's "self restraint" and said they, too, were saddened by the loss of life. El Sissi spoke to Army forces Sunday. Such rhetoric, coupled with Morsi supporters' conviction that the cause is worth dying for, has turned Egypt into battle between willing assassins and willing martyrs.
"We will not stand by silently watching the destruction of the country and the people or the torching (of) the nation and terrorizing the citizens," El Sissi was quoted as saying in a post on the military's Facebook page.
El Sissi, who announced Morsi's removal, said the government would reconcile with those with no blood on their hands, but offered no specifics about who that included or what reconciliation could look like.
"There is room for everyone in Egypt, and we are cautious about every drop of Egyptian blood," el Sissi said.
Other government officials, however, have suggested that there was no place for the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt's political future.
Sunday, the start of the workweek here, brought the calmest day since at least 638 Morsi supporters were killed in clashes with security forces Wednesday. But the nation remained tense as Egyptians waited for what Monday would bring. Morsi supporters have called for a week-long demonstration against the military and its civilian-appointed government.
The Muslim Brotherhood canceled some of its planned protests just before they were set to start, citing security concerns. But even before the cancellation, it appeared the protesters chose to not come out; either out of fear, to reorganize their approach, to mourn their dead, or in an effort to return to normal functions like work.
The protests were set to begin at 4 p.m., three hours before a 7 p.m. curfew in 14 of the nation's 24 provinces. But as the hour approached, and troops and police set up barbed wire and tanks at the scheduled sites, only a few hundred showed up. And they stayed several hundred feet away from the security forces, which had set up barbed wire, troops and tanks in the streets.
The break was a welcome and surprising reprieve from a conflict that has transformed much of the country into a quasi- battlefield between protesters and security forces. Instead of thousands in the streets in pitched battles with security forces, on Sunday there was silence. The biggest chaos was at the morgue where families continued to retrieve their dead, and at the gravesites, where they buried them.
Other government officials directed their anger at the international community, which has condemned the government actions. Earlier in the day, Foreign Minister Nabil Fahmy told reporters that "brandishing that assistance will be stopped or suspended is unacceptable," an apparent message to the United States, which is considering cutting $1.5 billion in military and economic aid.
International relations with Egypt "should be bigger than any single incident," Fahmy said.
The violence of recent days climaxed six weeks of sit-ins by Morsi backers, who had called for his reinstatement. Their makeshift cities snarled traffic. On Wednesday, government forces stormed the sites. On Friday, in what Islamists called a "Day of Rage," the death toll surpassed 1,000 as demonstrators clashed with security forces, leading to more deaths than during the 2011 18-day uprising that led to fall of former Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak.
According to the state news agency, 79 people were killed Saturday, as Friday protests extended into a second day and a faceoff at el Fateh Mosque in Cairo.
Fahmy said that Egypt was building a democracy and that such efforts take time. He did not speak as to whether the violence could hinder that goal.
"We are in the process of establishing democracy," Fahmy said.
Amina Ismail contributed to this report.

Premier League: Cardiff 1 West Brom 0
Cardiff City snapped a five-game winless streak with a hard-fought 1-0 success over West Brom in the Premier League on Saturday.
Both sides came into the game short of form, resulting in a scrappy first half devoid of chances and quality at the Cardiff City Stadium.
However, the hosts seized the initiative after the break and took the lead through Peter Whittingham's excellent header from a fine cross by Craig Noone - starting in the Premier League for the first time.
West Brom saw strong appeals for a penalty turned down as they sought an equaliser, but remain with just one away win to their name all season - September's memorable triumph at Manchester United.
Cardiff made three changes from last week's defeat at Crystal Palace, including the recall of Peter Odemwingie against his former club, while West Brom reinstated Jonas Olsson and Shane Long to their side.
After Boaz Myhill tipped Whittingham's free-kick away, Gary Medel lashed an effort over the crossbar as the hosts settled into the game quickly, but the opening period was characterised by sloppy possession from both sides with neither goalkeeper fully tested.
Steven Caulker slashed wide from close range after Olsson failed to deal with a corner, while the former Tottenham defender had to be alert to deny Gareth McAuley from Chris Brunt's swirling set-piece.
The heavens opened during the half-time break, making conditions tricky, but Cardiff began the second period strongly and Odemwingie blasted over as West Brom dithered on the edge of their own box.
The visitors had a superb chance to score in the 56th minute as Morgan Amalfitano squared to Claudio Yacob, whose mis-hit fell kindly for McAuley, but the Northern Ireland defender was denied on the line by a combination of Medel and home keeper David Marshall.
Cardiff then broke the deadlock on 65 minutes, Noone swinging a great ball in from the right and Whittingham directing his header beyond Myhill.
Both teams saw penalty appeals waved away by referee Howard Webb, with West Brom particularly aggrieved as Shane Long was bundled over in the penalty area by Ben Turner.
Substitutes Scott Sinclair - jeered onto the pitch as a former Swansea City player - and Saido Berahino combined well out wide with the latter's cross somehow evading colleagues in the box.
And West Brom threatened again soon after, McAuley heading across the face of goal, before Marshall rescued the result with a magnificent reaction save to keep out Long's firm header.
The win moves Cardiff four points clear of the relegation zone, and above West Brom - who have now lost four successive matches.

- wickedpediaYet in 2000, UAL's fortunes began to dim. In April 2000, the ESOP investment period ended for most US employees, prompting United's unions to fight for higher wages. Labor issues, air traffic congestion and poor weather forced UAL's United unit to implement widespread flight cancellations in the summer of 2000, harming the airline's reputation. Additionally, UAL Corporation announced its intent to merge with US Airways Group, Inc., the operator of American airline US Airways. The deal collapsed in mid-2001, due to lack of support from the U.S. government and employees. Then came the tragedy of September 11. The company ended 2001 with a record loss of $2.1 billion.[4]
As losses continued in 2002, Glenn Tilton, a former Texaco CEO with experience operating a company in bankruptcy, was brought in by UAL's Board of Directors to try and prevent bankruptcy, or, if needed, successfully guide the company through a bankruptcy process. Tilton was appointed Chairman, President, and CEO of UAL Corporation and United Air Lines, Inc. in September 2002. Tilton sought wage cuts from employees and applied for a U.S. government loan guarantee to avoid filing for bankruptcy. By early December, the company had reached agreements with most of its unions for wage reductions, but its loan application was rejected Dec. 4. On Dec. 9, UAL and its subsidiaries filed for Chapter 11 reorganization. UAL quickly received debtor-in-possession (DIP) financing to allow it to continue "business as usual" while it reorganized its debt, capital and cost structures. The year ended with UAL seeking immediate voluntary wage reductions from all employee groups or permission from the bankruptcy court to impose those reductions in order to meet the strict covenants established by the DIP lenders.[4]
Question 2: If the PIC becomes aware of an actual passenger count that differs from the manifest, must he resolve that difference before departing?
Response: Yes, to the extent that the miscount affects such safety issues as aircraft weight and balance calculations. See the discussion to Question No. 1.
For purposes of
Section 121.665, however, if the load manifest has the names of 100 passengers but the PIC notices that actually there are 110 passengers on board, then the air carrier, not the PIC, is in violation of the regulation. Likewise, if the PIC takes off and the load manifest only shows the names of 100 passengers although 110 are on board, the air carrier would be in violation of Section 121.693(e).
Question 3: If the PIC reports the discrepancy to the certificate holder prior to departure and is advised to nevertheless operate the flight by the certificate holder, may he (the PIC) do so?
Response: Since the requirements to maintain an accurate load manifest are the responsibility of the certificate holder, the PIC could not be found to be in violation of Sections 121.665 or 121.693(e) for proceeding with the flight despite inaccurate or incomplete information in the load manifest. However, the PIC might be held in violation of other regulations that apply to the pilots and that depend on
accurate passenger information, including accurate weight information. See discussion in Response to Question No. 1.
Question 4: Does the PIC have any responsibility for a passenger count discrepancy other than reporting it to the certificate holder? If so, what is the responsibility?
Response: Yes. See response to Question No. 1.
Thank you for your inquiry. We hope this has been responsive to your request. This response was prepared by Carol Moors Toth, attorney, Operations Law Branch, and coordinated with the Air Transportation Division of the Flight Standards Service.
Donald P. Byrne
Assistant Chief Counsel
Regulations Division
Dear Mister Christensen,
I am researching the alleged flights of 9/11 and I noticed your name in the U.S.A. government's Commission's findings as a name interviewed to get passenger information. Would you be willing to let me ask some questions about your experience with the Commission?
I am specifically trying to locate the flight load manifests that should have been filled out for the American Airlines and United Airlines aircraft that were apparently hijacked on that day. It may be of utmost national importance that the public finds these documents and any leads you could provide would be most beneficial to the United States citizenry, its government and the world at large.
Thank you for any response!

Difference between revisions of "Enblend"

Revision as of 10:08, 24 March 2005
overlays images so to make the seam invisible.
Works as a plug-in for PTGUI. Works also standalone.
For Windows and Linux. Mac OSX version (xblend) is available from Kevin Kratzke
If you are working with multi-row panoramics, (for example three rows of eight pictures each), you can greatly speed up the processing by manually feeding the first row of images (with the -a parameter which assembles non-adjacent images first), then the second row of images, and finally the third row of images. Next, feed these three assembled rows into Enblend again using the -a parameter and you will have a fully blended pano in a fraction of the time.
I have written batch files for the Windows platform that do this automatically. Feel free to email me at email@example.com if you are interested.
Also, other parameters worth noting are: -w to wrap the blending process around the 360 degree boundary so you don't end up with a harsh transition at the +180 and -180 degree seam. -o to force Enblend to use an output filename of your choice -v to see the details of what is happening rather than staring at a blank screen
