Swaying on the swing make me feel calm. The rhythm is taming the noises of my soul, while I am reaching higher and higher with tips of the toes, pushing clouds with my feet and letting the wind rinse my hair once again.
Sometimes I swing in order to pull away from my own weight center, sometimes – in order to start my mechanism anew. With every swing forward and back – fresh breath of air, a series of them. And then the blood starts running faster as my body's filled with oxygen, imagery's changing and everything looks clearer, misty horizon discloses contours, forms, textures. And everything disappears again. And it goes on until i bounce and jump and land soundly on the ground.
My grandmother is knitting / something white / something colorful / something white / something white again / and puts it into a crispy bag. Wraps with a string, ivory white with red edge and gives it to me. She says, its for my dowry. Now she knit less and never for dowry, though for me word "knit" is becoming ever more beautiful, as when I hear it, I see what I never saw before – grandmother, swimming in a big water, diving in and out, and then calmly knitting up on the shore.
Old knitted shawls and the smell of dark drawer, squeaking cabinet door, field dried bedding with its barely noticeable moisture, the silence of an early morning, my nostalgia, childhood, dowry.

Paul Jurgensen, former president of the Hibernian Society of Savannah, Georgia, on the Tanaiste's refusal to attend a men-only St Patrick's Day dinner in the US.
"I was never going to be part of the Government. An awful lot of people had been waiting an awful lot of time to get into government and they weren't going to let someone like me come along and get a particular role . . . I was led to believe I would have an involvement in economic policy formulation. There was none of it, absolutely none of it."
George Lee, RTE presenter and former Fine Gael TD.
"We still all support the party. We still all support Fianna Fail. I don't think much of the leader, I think you all know that. I'm not going to say anything nice about him. The party is doing fairly brutal . . . that's the hard reality."
Bertie Ahern, former Taoise-ach, addressing FF canvassers.
"They kick conformity into children. Teachers are just bullies and schools are a waste of time. They're an ancient Greek idea that the Victorians borrowed to get kids off the street. It's fundamentally wrong."

"You've got to make a movie about Mao, about the Cultural Revolution. You do that, you open up, you stir the waters and you allow true creativity to emerge in this country. You have to protect the country against separatist movements. I can understand not doing that subject. But not your history for Christ's sake."

"I used to judge someone's talent by the amount of flesh they reveal. The more they show, the less talent they have in order to get attention.

I don't see why women have to get naked to sell an album. It's crazy."
Imelda May, singer.
"So many women are obsessed with their age and how they look. I just think: 'Sorry love, but you've obviously got too much time on your hands.' Thanks to mum and dad, my self-worth is not tied up with how old I am or how much I weigh."

WINNIPEG — The opposition NDP is lambasting the Manitoba government for shutting down an environmental agency that worked with organizations to protect the environment and keep waste out of landfills.
The province says Green Manitoba Eco Solutions, which was formed in 2006 by the NDP government of Gary Doer, will be folded into the Sustainable Development Department.
Environment critic Rob Altemeyer tells radio station CJOB the actions by the Conservative government could have a serious impact on environmental policy.
He says it will result in the loss of a lot of institutional knowledge from the people who have worked there, sometimes for decades.
But the government insists no jobs will be lost.
Sustainable Development Minister Cathy Cox is defending the decision, citing efficiencies and savings of roughly $1 million.
"We've talked to the producers, and they've told us that they want to eliminate that additional layer. That's exactly what we plan to do. We plan to integrate and empower those producers to find better and more efficient ways of recycling."

If your concept of the beach is a long, lazy summer day with clear skies and still air, count yourself among the lucky. In Great Britain, the summer weather is often so undependable that pasty-pale Anglos determined to cop a tan must endure blowing winds and stinging sand.
Enter the Surf Shelter concept by HJC Design, a Yorkshire-based consultancy. This space-age-looking tent-like shelter (which comes to us by way of Yanko Design) was designed not only to protect beach goers from the capricious elements, but also serve as a power generating unit. It incorporates flexible solar panels (i.e., photovoltaic fabric) and an aerodynamic design that harvests wind power, providing a source of renewable energy for MP3 players, phones, or even a mini-fridge.
For those determined to barbecue or be social at the beach, even in less-than-ideal weather–or simply to weather a rough spot in the day, without having to pack up the whole clan and head home–this is a concept that makes sense. For those who love in generally hospitable climates where beach-weather tends to cooperate, not so much.

This month our book club read Gone Girl, which we discussed over a beautiful alfresco dinner. The book is sort of a "beach read" which was appropriate since I finished it during my last beach trip of the summer.
The weather is cooling, which made dining outside so enjoyable. Erin made coconut shrimp with pineapple salsa, which we had with cilantro rice and a ginger tomato salad. For desert, we had warm brownies with ice cream and fresh strawberries. The food was delicious and the atmosphere was very romantic. Throwing an outdoor dinner party can be very easy with a little planning.
Tips for Outdoor Dinner Parties
- Scout for the perfect space. We are fortunate to have a balcony large enough to comfortably fit our dining table, but I love the idea of throwing a dinner party in a unique outdoor location.
- Setting the mood. Simple holiday lights went a long way in setting the mood for our dimly-lit, twinkling scene. We took mosquito precautions with this (worked great). We also lit some candles and streamed background music via a Kings of Convenience Pandora station.
- Planning the menu. The hardest thing about dining outside is timing—i.e., serving a warm meal on location. We didn't have too much trouble with this since our table was so close to our kitchen. For a more distant location, I would try something portable like a steak salad with fresh berries and cheese for desert.
- The table. Last year I purchased a tablecloth from Target and picked up a few sets of cloth napkins from Marshalls. They were pretty inexpensive and I've used them over and over. I worked as a caterer in college so I love any excuse to break out my napkin-folding skills (though it is pretty easy). A nice table setting is an easy way to make a simple dinner feel special.
- Guests! At our house, we look for any excuse to entertain, but book club nights are some of my favorites. It is so rejuvenating to laugh, cook, and catch up with the girls. And sometimes we even manage to discuss the book!

Subscribe To Killer Joe And To Live And Die In L.A. Are Being Developed As TV Series Updates
I've already subscribed
While it's not always the most successful trend, I'm rather fond of the way some TV series are expanding the scope of adaptations, with shows like Hannibal and Fargo telling original stories within the same fictional universe as their source material without being copycats. And if there is any justice in this world, we may soon be watching shows based on two of Exorcist director William Friedkin's most crime-ridden films, 1985's To Live and Die in L.A. and 2011's Killer Joe. Because why the hell not?
Talking with Movies.com, the 78-year-old Friedkin shared his disinterest in making a superhero movie, and that he is far more interested in working in long-form television than making any films at all. He raves quite a bit about Fargo and Ryan Murphy's HBO movie The Normal Heart, and then drops the double-adaptation bombshell.
"MGM is trying to develop a television series on To Live and Die in L.A.," Friedkin said. "It won't be that story at all, but it will be that vibe." He goes on to say that he'll have approvals on where it goes, and that he is interested in directing the pilot if he likes the script.
For those unaware, To Live and Die in L.A. is one of the most unmistakably 1980s movies in existence, and stars a curly-coifed William Peterson (CSI) as a rulebreaking Secret Service agent who aims to take down the counterfeiter (Willem Dafoe) that killed his partner. It's a solid flick, don't get me wrong, but the aesthetics, acting styles and Wang Chung soundtrack have not aged very well. It will be very interesting to see how this one is handled if it ever comes to fruition.
As for Killer Joe, he mentions that "it will not be the same story, but it will be very edgy, not unlike Fargo," and that it may similarly be about a Dallas detective who lives the double life of a hitman. To me, Killer Joe was the genesis of Matthew McConaughey's return to credible cinema, and he was pitch perfect as a slightly perverted, no-nonsense killer whose patience for the moral-free Smith family – made up of Thomas Haden Church, Gina Gershon, Juno Temple and Emile Hirsch – grows increasingly sour as a murder-for-insurance plot goes awry. Twisted but also darkly comedic, it was quite unlike anything else in Friedkin's career, perhaps because it began life as screenwriter Tracy Letts' acclaimed play.
The Academy Award-winner is busier than ever, apparently, and he also has an unknown project being worked out with HBO. Maybe a French Connection series? Doubtful, but not impossible, as these potential series have shown us. How do you guys feel about it?

Intern Profile: Niki Ulug BA '14
July 07, 2014
Niki Ulug BA '14
Major: Biology
Hometown: Austin, Texas
Can you tell us what you're doing this summer? What are your basic duties as an intern?
This summer I have been working as a research assistant in Fred Robinson's lab in the Junger Center at Oregon Health & Science University. The Robinson Lab is researching how mutations in members of the myotubularin family of PI 3-phosphatases lead to Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT) peripheral neuropathy. This disease is a commonly inherited neurological disorder characterized by a loss of motor nerve function. In CMT patients, the motor nerves are observed to have dysfunctional myelination and demyelination. These mutations in PI are thought to cause alterations in endosomal-lysosomal membrane trafficking. The Robinson Lab is investigating how specifically PtdIns3P and PtdIns(3,5)P2 lead to cellular dysfunction and this neurological disease.
I have been working on an independent project that is heavily based in cell and molecular biology. With the help of other members of the lab, I have most recently been working on complicated cloning techniques to prepare for experiments that could contribute to our understanding of the molecular mechanism of this disease. I have also been learning what other members of the lab are doing and the methods they are using.
How has Lewis & Clark supported you in the process of finding, securing, and funding your internship?
Like many of my peers, I have Assistant Professor of Biology Tamily Weissman-Unni to thank for helping me secure my intern position. I knew that I wanted to do research this summer, and Professor Weissman-Unni put me in contact with Fred Robinson. Receiving the Miller award and spending my summer doing research seemed like the perfect way to explore the possibility of a career in research, and the best way to get my foot in the door at OHSU. Additionally, I would like to thank all of my professors, especially my mentor, Professor of Biology Deborah Lycan, who was the first to teach me to think critically like a scientist. Without the Miller award, it is unlikely that I would have the opportunity to do research this summer.
I have only been at OHSU for a month, and I am already working to secure a research technician job here for the fall. I am nothing short of amazed by how many labs there are at OHSU and how many of them are doing fascinating and groundbreaking research. Everyone in my lab has been incredibly helpful in suggesting people to contact about potential research jobs and insight into the graduate school experience.
The purpose of the Miller Summer Internship Award is to underwrite or supplement expenses of students at Lewis & Clark College who are engaged in scientific research internships in the mathematical and natural sciences. This opportunity is made possible by a generous grant from the Miller Foundation.

When it comes to starting your own business, it takes long hours and dedication like you've never used before. Funding is certainly a sensitive topic within this area and when first starting out, can be a real pain point. When marketing, you can use your personal connections and use your own personal social medias, but there are effective ways to spread the word of your business and do so very inexpensively. Marketing is a very effective tool if you know how to use it correctly. Throughout this article, I'm going to give you a couple avenues to market that are not only effective, but also very inexpensive compared to the alternative options.
Everyone seems to have a Facebook these days, and what is surprising is it spans all age groups. It is not limited to 20 year olds or teenagers, which works heavily in your favor. Facebook advertising is very simple and you can spend a little as $5 to effectively market your business for a day. How it works is you promote your page or post, and then you can narrow your audience to as specific as you want. What also works is if you only have say $20, you can choose to use $5 a day over 4 days, which can spread your advertising over a length in time. For someone who is just starting out or if you are a seasoned veteran, Facebook is a great option to use in your marketing campaign.
Extremely similar to Facebook, Instagram works the same way budget wise and audience specific. However, Instagram in my opinion is the better option as you can use the advertisement, but you could also spend some funding on influencers in your niche market. It is simple as sending a direct message to the person and asking how much it would cost to promote your product. This may cost slightly more than you are willing to spend, but check it out and see what the going rates are for your industry. Again, you could spend as little as $5 for an effective ad for the day, or spend more and spread it out across the week.
Twitter & Snapchat
Twitter still has potential for advertisement, but it certainly is not the most effective. Using that platform would be a compliment to the others once you have those up and running. Snapchat however, is a great platform because you can purchase a filter for small sums of money for certain geographical location. You pay by the hour, which can allow you to effectively advertise during a large even when many people gather, and not break the bank.
Advertising on a budget can be a challenge, but the current market has certainly given people a cheaper alternative to the traditional ways of advertising. Take some time to get familiar with the products and then allocate some of your funds to them, deciding for yourself it is effective. The worst that will happen is you're out $50 to $100 for the length of your campaign, and you can simply move on to the next marketing product. Again, it is about making your dollars work smarter, not harder.

The City of Falls Church had not built a new school in over 50 years and had no dedicated construction or facility development department when it sought a public private partnership to help locate land and provide development services for a new middle school facility. The City had identified parcels of land located in and around the City that could potentially support a new school facility but the City had no control of those land parcels and had asked the development community to help secure the necessary land as part of the public-private partnership.
Edgemoor, doing business as Public Private Alliances LLC, became the de-facto developer for the City and School District when it was chosen to help develop the new middle school based on a proposed plan that utilized existing high school property, saving several years of land acquisition and entitlement processes and millions of dollars for land acquisition costs. Initial studies of the high school land entitlement status indicated that limited additional density rights would prevent the proposed new school from being built at the size required without creative understanding and application of the zoning rules. Edgemoor's plan utilized nuances of the zoning code to allow for the full development of the required school program without the need for rezoning of the land. Edgemoor worked as the City's development manager in obtaining the necessary permits for construction and in coordinating and obtaining all the necessary utility connections for the new school. The City also hired Edgemoor to develop an addition to an existing elementary school and to renovate four high school science labs under the initial development agreement.
The City and School system owns the land upon which its high school was built and where the new middle school was proposed to be built but the land itself was located outside the City limits in an adjacent county, meaning the school development was subject to the jurisdictional authority of the neighboring county. The City and School system had no experience working with the County's zoning and entitlement system.
Edgemoor's team includes members with significant experience in local land use processes as well as particular experience in this local municipality. As development manager for the City and School System, Edgemoor guided all of the land use strategies, including state mandated land use approvals for public facilities as well as developing a unique strategy to build more density on the land than would otherwise be permitted by the zoning ordinance. Edgemoor developed a fast-track program for entitlement and permitting that allowed work on the site to commence before the design of the project was complete, saving several months on the overall schedule.
The proposed new middle school was to be placed on a portion of existing parking and athletic facilities and was only 90 feet away from the existing high school building. The location impacted existing tennis courts and bus parking areas as well. The proposed school construction would intercept the path of travel for students getting to and from the high school athletic facilities. Existing utilities would also be impacted by location of the proposed school, including electric service, telecommunications, domestic water and sanitary sewer piping.
Edgemoor was aware of the many constraints an active school campus would create for the development of a new middle school. From day one, Edgemoor and its contractor strategized to sequence the work to minimize impacts on school operations and the learning experience of students within the existing high school. Replacement tennis courts were one of the first work items that were completed in advance of the start of the new middle schools construction so that the old ones could be removed without impacting the tennis program. Major work in the parking lot areas was scheduled to occur in the summer months when the school program was less intense. Safety of the students, faculty and staff was paramount and the plan and program of safety was discussed at each and every progress meeting. The school exam schedules, and even the schedule for fire drills, were integrated into the construction schedule to lessen the impact of construction on the high school students and staff. On exam days the noise level of the construction work was minimized. Construction material deliveries were prohibited during school bus arrival and departure times to minimize interactions between large construction vehicles and school buses. Outages for relocating or altering utilities were also coordinated with the school calendar to avoid impacting any high school programs.
"Through their frequent communication and meticulous attention to detail, the team reduced overall design and construction time. The aggressive schedule was successfully achieved despite severe weather delays, unforeseen conditions and major Owner-initiated design revisions."
Edgemoor is a leading vertically-integrated developer and asset manager of buildings and infrastructure and offers tailored comprehensive development solutions to a broad range of clients.

SEWANEE, Tenn. - The Sewanee football team could not overcome Washington & Lee's running game, as the Generals rushed for 402 yards on the ground en route to a 47-14 win over the Tigers in their home opener from Historic Hardee-McGee Field at Harris Stadium.
Final Score: Washington & Lee (2-0) 47, Sewanee (1-1) 14
Sewanee Athletics Social Media | Twitter/Instagram: @SewaneeTigers
Football Social Media | Twitter: @SewaneeFootball
-Both offenses started out slow, but you could not say that on the Sewanee defense. On the first drive of the game, on third down, W&L's Josh McDonald fumbled the football thanks to a little help by Karim Antoine. Lee Menefee picked up the fumble.
-Despite the great start by the Sewanee defense, the offense went three-and-out on their first possession.
-W&L responded with a one-yard touchdown rush by Collin Sherman to give the visitors the early 6-0 lead on a seven-play, 73-yard drive. Missing the point-after-attempt, the Generals led 6-0 after 15 minutes of play.
-Late in the second quarter, the Generals' lone passing touchdown came to Montgomery Owen from Trey Laughlin for 62 yards to give the visitors a 13-0 lead at the break.
-The second half saw the Generals outscore the Tigers, 34-14, but with 13:17 left in the third, trailing 20-0, the Tigers scored their first touchdown of the game off a trick play. Micah Maes, from the right side of the field, found Colin May for a 48-yard touchdown reception.
-The Tigers added another score in the fourth quarter, as Alex Darras found Maes for a 26-yard completion with 12:54 left in the contest to make the score 40-14.
-In the 67th meeting between the two schools, Washington & Lee has now won four in a row and are 43-24 all-time against Sewanee.
-Alex Darras went 31-of-51 for 325 yards and a score, but he threw for three interceptions.
-Warren Holland led the rushing game with 52 yards on 12 carries.
-Micah Maes, who threw for a touchdown in the third quarter, also caught a touchdown reception en route to 41 yards receiving.
-Cyrus McCullough led all receivers with 82 yards on six catches.
-Karim Antoine recorded 11 tackles to lead all defenders in the contest. He also forced a fumble.
-William Phillips had five solo tackles, while Wesley Porter posted eight total tackles.
-62 of 65 plays from the Generals offense came on the ground. Drew Richardson led the game on the ground for the Generals with 133 yards on 17 carries and two touchdowns.
-Trey Laughlin and Collin Sherman also recorded a rushing touchdown.
-Montgomery Owen, who recorded both catches from Laughlin, caught 99 yards and earned a touchdown.
-Will Corry recorded eight tackles, 3.5 for loss, and 2.5 sacks for the visitors.
Check out the highlight video from the contest.
The Tigers' three-game homestand continues next Saturday as Austin College makes the trek from Sherman, Texas in the Southern Athletic Association (SAA) opener.

Discovering the New Russia
By Jonathan Brent
Illustrated. 335 pp. Atlas & Company. $26
In January 1992, Jonathan Brent, the editorial director of Yale University Press, flew to the newly re-established nation of Russia in a bid to secure the rights to publish selected material from Soviet archives for the Annals of Communism project of his press. The previous month, Russia's new leader, Boris Yeltsin, had declared that the hitherto secret party, state and K.G.B. archives would be opened, and scholars and publishers from around the world were eager to explore and exploit this potential bonanza. There was even heady talk of a Russian version of the Nuremberg trials, with the Communist Party in the dock.
It did not quite work out like that. There was no trial. The K.G.B. archives have been selectively closed, and many obstacles have been placed in the path of researchers; Vladimir Putin's Russia began reimposing the power and prerogatives of the state in a way that owed as much to czarist as to Soviet traditions. Despite this, Yale University Press, along with the Hoover Institution and some other scholarly enterprises like the Woodrow Wilson Center's Cold War International History Project, have done extraordinary work and fundamentally changed many orthodox views of the Soviet era.
Brent's engaging memoir, "Inside the Stalin Archives," reveals as much about the grim realities of post-Soviet life and bureaucracy as it does about the archives themselves. Equipped with little Russian and few contacts, but with an almost palpable sense of decency and honest intentions that illuminate his book, Brent explains for the general reader as well as for specialists how he went about his work in the new Russia. In gloomy offices and run-down party buildings, and even in the old office of the secret police chief Lavrenti Beria, he offered fair contracts to Russian editors and researchers; they were paid as much as their Western counterparts, and promised respect and academic recognition as well.
Through Yeltsin's wretched early years of poverty and dislocation in the 1990s and through the sleeker but more menacing times of Putin's oil-enriched restoration of traditional authority, Yale University Press has published more than a score of important books. It has recently published newly discovered stenographic records of some 30 Politburo meetings in the 1930s and '40s, and it is working on Stalin's personal archive.
Brent is among the first to stress that none of this could have been achieved without the brave and honest work of Russian archivists and scholars in the Soviet period and after. He relates one haunting anecdote of a respected and elderly historian who just two years ago published a straightforward study that included the historically true statement that Red Army troops had occupied Lithuania even before Hitler's invasion of 1941. Officially threatened with the loss of his apartment and pension, and retaliation against his daughter's career if he dared repeat such allegations, he tells Brent: "It is a return to the 1970s. There is nothing to do about it."
That is a telling point. Russia is not going back to the Terror of the 1930s or to the gulag, but to a softer and greedier form of power that has echoes of Leonid Brezhnev's years and of prerevolutionary czarism. There will be no return to the period of Lenin's 1922 memorandum, unearthed by Brent's Yale project and published in "The Unknown Lenin," which explains that it was only now "when in the starving regions people are eating human flesh . . . that we can (and therefore must) carry out the confiscation of church valuables with the most savage and merciless energy, not stopping [short of] crushing any resistance."Continue reading the main story
The Yale project has established beyond doubt that the Soviet authorities knew exactly what kind of social hell they were inflicting. Andrei Vyshinsky, the chief prosecutor during the purge trials of the 1930s and later the Soviet ambassador to the United Nations, wrote a memorandum on his 1938 inspection tour of the gulag: "These prisoners have deteriorated to the point of losing any resemblance to human beings. . . . Somebody — obviously hostile — is arranging for people to die en route and to die upon arrival." That is the classic Stalinist response; for any flaws in the system, sabotage must be responsible.
Among the gems in the archive, Brent tells us, is a cache of pornographic cartoons, idly sketched by Politburo members during their meetings. Stalin drew one graphic scene that illustrated his accompanying note: "For all the sins, past and present, hang Bryukhanov by the testicles. If the testicles hold out, consider him acquitted by trial. If they do not hold, drown him in the river." Bryukhanov, a commissar of finances, was shot in 1938.
We know a lot about Stalin now, including his fondness for musicals (he even tried his hand at lyrics). After exploring his personal library with its copious annotations, Brent concludes that Stalin was as much intellectual as brute and calls him "an idealist in the sense that he believed completely in the primacy of ideas." Brent has a point; Stalin believed in his ideas to the death, or as he put it: "mercilessly destroy anyone who, by his deeds or his thoughts — yes, by his thoughts — threatens the unity of the socialist state."
If one hero emerges from "Inside the Stalin Archives" it is Aleksandr Yakovlev, a former Columbia University graduate student and Soviet ambassador to Canada, and perhaps the real intellectual author of glasnost and perestroika. Yakovlev, badly wounded in the Nazi siege of Leningrad, was a traditional Russian intellectual who had a bumpy career in the party until Gorbachev brought him onto the Politburo to be its most liberal voice. After Gorbachev's fall, Yakovlev continued to campaign for full disclosure of the Soviet past, and he tells Brent of one of the pivotal moments in the last days of the Soviet regime. In the winter of 1991, when Lithuanian crowds began demonstrating against Soviet rule, Gorbachev asked Yakovlev, "Should we shoot?"
If a single Soviet soldier fired a single bullet on the unarmed crowds, Soviet power would be over, Yakovlev replied. Bullets were fired, almost certainly not on Gorbachev's orders, and the Soviet Union collapsed seven months later. What Yakovlev did not tell Gorbachev, although he thought it as he left the room, was that if the troops did not shoot, Soviet power would also be over. Its time had passed; the game was up. And the documents from the archives that Brent has managed to publish go a long way to explaining why.

Youth voices heard at opening of UN Commission on the Status of Women
NEW YORK, USA, 26 February 2007 The 51st Session of the Commission on the Status of Women opened at United Nations headquarters in New York this morning, launching two weeks of discussions and events in the run-up to International Womens Day.
Opening statements included an address from a 17-year-old South African girl, Quilinta Nepaul, who asked that youth voices be heard in the debates.
The Commission is aware that you [young people] are part of the solution, said the Chairperson, Her Excellency Carmen María Gallardo of El Salvador, while introducing Quilinta to speak on the sessions key theme the elimination of all forms of discrimination and violence against the girl child.
Recommendations from youth
Quilinta used the opportunity to share the views and recommendations of over 1,300 young people from 59 countries, as compiled in a new report, Its Time to Listen to Us! She asked the Commission to carefully consider the findings, which were drawn from surveys and focus groups carried out over the last three months on the question of ending discrimination and violence against girls.
The report includes the following recommendations from young people to governments:
- Invest in and increase access to education for all girls
- Respect and enforce laws that protect girls
- Create gender-positive media messages
- Build the capacity of local leaders to identify and protect invisible girls
- Support community organizations working on gender equality
- Support peer-to-peer and non-formal youth groups and networks.
Our report shows that children have strong opinions on how we want to shape our own future, noted Quilinta. It is time to listen to us and to act upon it.
The best investment
Several hundred representatives from governments, non-governmental organizations, UN agencies and civil society attended the opening of the Commissions 51st Session. They were welcomed by UN Deputy Secretary-General Asha-Rose Migiro.
For the past 60 years, this Commission has made remarkable contributions to improving the lives of women and girls around the globe, Dr. Migiro said, adding that despite progress made in ending gender discrimination, there is a long way to go.
Dr. Migiro went on to congratulate UNICEF for The State of the Worlds Children 2007 report, Women and Children: The double dividend of gender equality. She praised the report for highlighting the wider benefits of womens rights and for explaining that investing in women and girls is the best investment we can make.
UNICEF Executive Director Ann M. Veneman also addressed the commission through a recorded video message.
In addition to Quilintas opening remarks, two other young women Chinyanta Chimba, 17, of Zambia and Vanessa Arevalu, 15, of Peru gave presentations at high-level roundtable events this afternoon.

Happy Monday, babes! I have been seeing a lot of outfits featured around the kimono on Pinterest a lot lately. A couple of weeks ago, I found this long, printed dress at the thrift store. It is originally from Sparkle and Fade which is found at Urban Outfits and is meant to be worn buttoned up. However, since it's two sizes too big, I thought it would make a great outerwear piece when left unbuttoned. I wanted to play with different heights, so I wore it with a lace crop top and my denim skirt from DSTLD (You can get 10% off your order with the code 'enclothedcognition').
Related: Check out how else I've styled this denim skirt
I love this kimono because of the neutral pattern and how it makes it so easy to pair with a lot of items. Last week, I styled it the same way, but I replaced the denim skirt with jeans. Thus, this outfit is easily transferable to autumn, making it an ultimate must have for your wardrobe right now. Shop some of my favorite kimonos right now:

The nice odds about sending out unsolicited requests for work - full time, part time, freelance - is that they result in quality responses. Sure, the rate of those responses is low. But, but when we are looking for work we don't have much else to take our time but to look for work.
I was first clued into the power of the this kind of cold calling by that now iconic book "What Color Is Your Parachute." It gets brought up to date every year and still bears out the wisdom that the person who gets the work is the one best at going after it, not the most qualified.
Stuck in a university job that didn't pay the bills, I read "What Color Is Your Parachute," and I parachuted nicely into corporate executive communications at Chevron. That ticket was golden until the market for ghostwriting and speechwriting tanked after Enron and 9/11. But it's back and so am I in sending out unsolicited personalized emails to public relations agencies and corporations.
With the growth of PR up 21% (Source: Bureau of Labor Statistics), it's no surprise that I am receiving a lot more than the average number of responses from those I am contacting. Yesterday, seven people emailed me back. Two called me on the phone.
Of course, it would dumb not to monitor the help wanted on Mediabistro.com, JournalismJobs.com, and Craigslist - Cities. However, in general those opportunities pay less than what we can pick up from organizations which don't openly advertise for help. They are used to folks like me and you coming to them.

(Also referred to as the "Minimum Monthly Benefit" for PERS Plan 1 and TRS Plan 1)
Legislation passed in 2004 and expanded in 2006 and 2011 establishes a minimum benefit level for qualifying Public Employees' Retirement System (PERS) Plan 1 and Teacher's Retirement System (TRS) Plan 1 retirees. The 2006 legislation also established a 3% cost of living adjustment effective July 1, 2006 and each July 1 thereafter.
Effective July 1, 2006, the minimum benefit was $1,030. Effective July 1, 2011 the minimum benefit was increased to $1,545. Any adjustments (such as a survivor option choice, early retirement or an annuity withdrawal, etc.) made to your original benefit will reduce this amount. That is why the minimum benefit is referred to as an adjusted minimum benefit.
PERS Plan 1 and TRS Plan 1 retirees (and survivors of retirees) whose current gross monthly benefit is less than the adjusted minimum benefit level and who:
Your benefit will be re-evaluated using the July 1, 2011 minimum benefit of $1,545 ($1,500 plus the 3% increase). If your benefit is below the adjusted minimum benefit level and you meet the requirements above, you will have your monthly benefit adjusted beginning in July 2011.
We began with a base benefit of $1,030 (as of July 1, 2006) and then applied any adjustments made to the account (for instance, survivor options, early retirement or an annuity withdrawal) to determine the adjusted minimum benefit. As of July 2011, the base benefit amount became $1,545 prior to the adjustments. That amount is then compared to your current benefit. You will receive the greater of the two benefits.
Mary retired in July 1986 with 25 years of service credit and an Average Final Compensation (AFC) of $925. She selected a 50 percent survivor benefit option. Her retirement benefit was determined as follows:
2% x $925 AFC x 25 years of service credit x .87 (reduction factor for survivor benefit option) = $402.38
Since she retired, Mary has received COLAs totaling $606.19, increasing her current benefit to $1,008.57 ($402.38 + $606.19).
Mary is eligible for the adjusted minimum benefit in July 2011. To determine if the adjusted minimum benefit exceeds her current benefit, DRS will multiply the base benefit of $1,545.00 by the reduction factor for Mary's choice of a 50 percent survivor benefit option (.87), as follows:
$1,545 x .87 = $1344.15
Since her current benefit of $1,008.57 is less than $1,344.15, Mary's monthly benefit will increase to $1,344.15.
To determine if Mary's survivor qualifies for the adjusted minimum benefit, DRS will multiply the base benefit of $1,545.00 by the reduction factor for Mary's choice of a 50 percent survivor benefit option (.87). Mary's survivor would then receive 50% of the benefit Mary would have received.
Here's how the 50% survivor benefit option is calculated:
$1,545.00 x .87 = $1,344.15 x 50% benefit option choice = $672.08.
Mary's survivor will receive the adjusted minimum benefit of $672.08.

Driver's Licenses For All: Get on the IYJL Bus to Springfield
In the following weeks immigrant rights advocates and immigrant communities from across Illinois will be traveling to Springfield to advocate for a process for all people living in the state to have a driver's licences, by making Temporary Visitor's Driver's Licenses (TVDL) available to immigrants without a social security number.
On November 29, 2012 the Immigrant Youth Justice League invites you to get on the bus with us to convince our legislators that undocumented immigrants have a right to have a driver's license, and that it is a measure that would make the roads and our state safer for everyone. Save a seat for yourself on the bus, and tell your friends!
More about TVDLs and the Highway Safety Coalition:
- Temporary Visitor's Driver's Licenses, Policy Option Fact Sheet
- Economic and Safety Benefits for Driver's Licenses for All
- How Illinois Benefits When All Motorists Are Licensed
As young people, many of whom qualify to benefit from getting drivers licenses through Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program, we are committed to fighting for driver's licenses for all undocumented immigrants who do not have a social security number, because they are our parents, our aunts and uncles, brothers and sisters, friends and neighbors, and members of our community. We hope you will join us.
Lastly, whether you can be in Springfield or not, please consider making a donation to IYJL to continue this and other organizing projects, by clicking on the "Donate" button to your right. Thank you.

People like you appreciate natural things, and they appreciate natural wood. People like you come to Pioneer Log & Timber for the quality of work, materials, and the beautiful joinery we do, as well as the personal service we extend to each of our clients. We help them realize their dream and interpret that into a log or timber frame structure.
At Pioneer Log & Timber, we believe it does not take a long time to make a great log or timber frame home, but it does take a long time to learn how to make a home great. At our headquarters in Montana's scenic Bitterroot Valley, our management team has over 250 years of combined experience in building log and timber frame structures. We build projects one at a time, and one log at a time, applying hand skills that we have perfected as masters. Nothing is hurried.
"A huge source of pride for us is to have some of the most talented craftsmen in America today. And you get a great deal of satisfaction when you build for a family and 30 years later they are still sending you a 'Thank you'." Jay Pohley
Our approach to joinery is first and foremost about being handcrafted. Every timber and every log is stripped, shaped, cut, chiseled, notched and fit by hand. There is no other way we've done it, and there just is no better way.
Another part of craftsmanship, for us specifically, is the use of naturally dried, dead-standing logs that were killed naturally (fire or beetle-kill) in American western forests. They have great structural integrity and are eco-friendly construction products because no live trees were harvested. We don't like living with products that cause destruction to the environment, so we don't build log or timber frame homes for others that do.
Our craftsmanship comes together in the details. It is one thing to peel straight logs or peel timbers so they are square, but it's a giant step further to be able to create nuances and subtleties that make a log or timber frame house a home – that is a work of handcrafted art.
This includes the trusses, heavy timbers, entry gates, covered bridges, steel straps and plates, half-log treads on stairs, and one-of-kind character log pieces. Just reach out to us and let us show a few signature examples that we're very proud of at Pioneer Log & Timber.
"Handcrafted houses are top of the line. They are works of art." Rob Ridgway, 40-year log home expert

CARLSTADT, N.J. and CHANTILLY, Va. - November 1, 2004 - Pantone, Inc., the global authority on color and provider of professional color standards, and ManTech Environmental Corporation (MEC), currently responsible for the Army Installation Design Standards (IDS), today announced that the U.S. Army has adopted a palette drawn from the PANTONE for architecture and interiors color system as a standard for exterior paint colors for all Army facilities worldwide.
Developed as a comprehensive color solution for the contract and hospitality segments of the interior design industry, PANTONE for architecture and interiors enables designers to match and coordinate different categories within the industry, including paint, flooring, leather, fabrics, carpet, fiber, furniture and laminates. The System consists of over 1,900 colors in cotton, paper and digital formats. PANTONE for architecture and interiors overcomes the traditional, time-intensive and stressful task of specifying, matching and agreeing on colors.
"Until recently, the Army used 'Federal Color Numbers' as a standard for accurately communicating color, but this system has been discontinued due to quality control problems," explained L. Baxter Lawrence, AIA, architect, MEC.
"This presented a problem in establishing a non-proprietary color standard for the 19 Army exterior colors which were to be included in the new Army Installation Design Standards," added Gary Burns, PMP, management director of MEC, who has personally guided the IDS development since its inception over two years ago.
Larry Black, AIA, ICMA, program manager/general engineer for Assistant Chief of Staff Installation Management (ACSIM), who is the government lead on the IDS program, felt that it was important to codify the 19 exterior colors and suggested that MEC explore the possibility of using PANTONE, whose international standing would ensure that the exterior paint colors for U.S. Army installations around the world would be consistent. It would also promote competitive bidding on Army contracts while helping to guarantee quality execution.
"We are pleased that the U.S. Army has taken this significant step to speak the language of color," said Lisa Herbert, executive vice president of Pantone Fashion and Interiors. "It joins many top design firms and manufacturers in using PANTONE for architecture and interiors to instantly and accurately communicate color around the world."
A color board appears in Appendix L: Exterior Color Charts of the Army Installation Design Standards, which provides the mandatory common facility and infrastructure standards for all Army installations. Color options are given for exterior finishes for each of eight U.S. regions plus Europe and the Far East. It is viewable online at www.mantech-mec.com/army_ids/.
About Pantone, Inc.
Pantone, Inc., developer of the globally accepted PANTONE Color Systems, is the leading source of traditional and electronic products for the selection and accurate communication of color. With over 40 years of experience, Pantone is recognized as the worldwide market leader in color communication and color technology for the graphic design, printing, publishing, fashion apparel, home furnishings, commercial interiors and industrial design industries.

There's no denying that the Triumph TR3 was a huge hit but the Giovanni Michelotti designed TR4s are, perhaps, among the most beautiful British roadsters of the 60s and 70s ever built. It was everything the TR3 wasn't—stylish, comfortable, better handling—in short where the TR3 had utility and purpose, the TR4, TR250, and TR6 had […]
For fourteen years—from 1948 through 1962—the Jaguar XKs were absolutely the prestige sports car to own and drive until they were superseded by the iconic E-Type. In every form, from the streamlined fixed head coupes to the open two-seaters and drop head coupes, the XKs were not only great performing automobiles but were breathtakingly beautiful both outside […]
The MGB was one of the best selling and most popular of a number of British sports cars that were produced in the 60s and 70s. A thoroughly modern design, the MGB featured monocoque chassis construction, roll-up windows and 30mph crumple zones which, for the time, was quite innovative. The MGB continued to sell well […]

Client Testimonials
Tom Farrell
The Horse & Jockey, Co. Tipperary
"Kelly was pleased with the outcome. I, however, was ecstatic. She had captured my calf's personality, my land, and above all that je ne sais quoi that all brilliant artists aspire to achieve. She has it!"
Julie McMullen
The Blue Moon Stud, Co. Cork
"I have been involved with horses for the past 30 years and in my opinion Kelly Hood's artwork is some of the best I have ever seen - not only in Ireland - but in the world. I believe her works are destined to be collector items!"
Liam Lyons
Listowel, Co. Kerry
"She has an exceptional talent for creating likeness but she adds to that realism an indefinable magic. I found Kelly a very warm and perceptive artist who puts her subjects at ease. She has produced these paintings which have been warmly praised by all who have seen them."
Florence Murphy
The Avenue des Champs-Élysées, Paris
"Our wish was for a painting to be a celebration of my time in Dingle- Ireland, something timeless that I could enjoy forever, and appreciate every day. Our wish came true – Kelly proved to be the perfect artist in every detail."
Eamonn O'Reilly
Chef and Restauranteur, The Wild Boar Pub, Stepaside Village, Co. Dublin
"We chose Kelly to create a truly unique piece of artwork for our innovative new premises. We not only wanted work that was truly unique but it needed to be contemporary and leading edge to support the culture and ethos of our business. We looked around at several galleries to find an artist that could fulfill this criteria. We spotted Kelly when she was featured in the Irish Tatler and were immediately very impressed with her work. Her work is refreshingly vibrant and contemporary and had all the all hallmarks of what we were looking for.
The commission now hangs strikingly in our new Wild Boar Pub reception area, and it has certainly created a great impression on our visitors. We would recommend Kelly for her professional work and attitude."

Not everyone is a fan of the colour gold. For those who prefer the colour silver, it may be disappointing to go shopping and find a belt that would otherwise be perfect, but has a gold buckle. Or perhaps you have a collection of gold-coloured buckles that you want to use in a craft project, but need them to be a silver colour. Painting gold buckles silver is a simple task.
Prepare an area for spray painting. Cover a table with newspaper and tape it down or spread some newspaper in the grass or other outdoor area.
Place the buckles on the newspaper. If you are painting a buckle that's attached to a belt, try to remove the buckle first. If removal is not possible, cover any exposed leather or fabric around the buckle with masking tape to avoid getting paint on it.
Spray the buckles with a top-quality spray paint designed for metal. Be sure to turn the buckle over to coat all of the metal. You may want to wear a pair of latex gloves to avoid getting paint on your skin.
Let the paint dry for the amount of time suggested for the paint brand you've used.
Check the buckle for any bare spots you may have missed.
Add another coat if the gold hue isn't completely covered. Repeat the process for as many coats as you desire.
Be aware that paint, no matter how high the quality, is always subject to scratching. If your buckle gets scratched and the original gold colour shows through, repaint the area.

IK Multimedia T-RackS Saturator X - Multi-Mode Harmonic Saturation Processor (Download)
Recipiente :
* Campos obligatorios
o Cancelar
Available for download, T-RackS Saturator X from IK Multimedia is a plug-in designed for adding analog-style harmonic distortion and saturation to your tracks and mixes. There are ten individual styles of saturation provided, from gentle and subtle to full-on tube-driven distortion. With its three-knob interface, its controls are rather intuitive: simply drive up the gain for more gain, and manipulate the output to achieve a desired volume. Or conversely, link the gain and output knobs, so that as you juice the gain, the output reduces proportionally, thus maintaining consistent volume levels. A third knob allows you to select the mode of saturation applied; here you choose among the ten styles of harmonic characteristics.
As this is a T-RackS plugin, it can be used within the T-RackS engine or on its own, and furthermore, you can link stereo channels or affect them independently—you can do this in left/right and mid/sight modes. This software is Mac and Windows compatible, and works in AU, VST, RTAS, and AAX formats.

There are a rather a lot of restrictions involved in making improvements to historical buildings, these vary from the rather strict legislation which restricts what can and can't be done to listed buildings, through to getting even what are initially considered to be minor updates through the planning procedure. Often relatively small details must be considered to retain the characteristic of the building, right down to matching the mortar, tiles and bricks, this is why used building materials hold their price so well.
Doors and Windows
Improving the doors and windows is a good example of this, as if a building is either listed or in a conservation area there could be restrictions on what could be done. Usually if a structure is owned by an organisation such as the national trust, self imposed restrictions will exist anyway, so for example, if it already has traditional timber framed sash windows, these are likely to be repaired as opposed to replaced with aluminium, UPVC or even a different type of timber and style, although if the frames allow, uprated glass may be used, usually double glazed to offer better insulation properties.
Changing doors can also often be a difficult decision, as large country houses are ideal for larger glass doors, these can be the bifold, concertina or sliding style. However because of structural constraints they must usually be made to fit an existing opening and fit in with the traditional appearance of the building and surrounding windows. The range available is not as broad as with simple doors, however many companies do offer an ever widening range of styles these days which in the case of traditional wooden styles may be available in a range of wood stains to match the existing features.
Stonework is a very different case, as often on an older building it was probably hand crafted, although it could now be in a state of disrepair to the point that the specific feature is no longer recognisable. this level of deterioration can be down to a number of things, however, pollution and the stone being worked and consequentially laid in the wrong orientation is often the culprit. These types of repairs can prove to be very costly and are generally best avoided unless entirely necessary.
Until such time that improving the structural appearance is as easy as updating more minor items such as doors and windows these type of repairs will seldom be done in time to save the feature completely.

Did you know that Miami gets 3,200 hours of sunshine a year, on average. Its winters are so mild that they count as sunny days. New York? Only 2,450. Miami is one of the few places in America that offers a subtropical climate and sunshine year-round. Even during hurricane season, passing bouts of rain are almost always followed by long bursts of sunshine. Which really is a good thing ? it?d be a shame for all those miles of beach access to be wasted by bad weather.
As you know, Miami is recognized as a top-notch destination for the powerful, the famous, the celebrities and the party-goers for a long time now. The city is bursting with beautiful people and it just so happens to be one of the most visited cities in the world. The weather is amazing all year round and there are literally hundreds of great things to go here from bars, clubs, restaurants, museums to their pristine white sandy beaches.
Executive Fliteways is offering special winter rates to Florida's Opa-Locka Airport from the New York area (ISP, HNP, or TEB). We've just put a package together that allows for you and at least 5 other guests to fly directly from any of our NY-area airports to Opa-Locka, Florida (7 minutes from Miami). You can choose between our Citation XL or our Lear 60. Both are beautiful, Mid-Sized Jets - equipped with WiFi - for $16,500 each way.
Please give us a call at 1.800.533.3363 so we can figure out how you can visit Miami and escape the cold, snow-covered beaches of New York for a few days.
The rigors of personal or corporate travel on the scheduled airlines have caused many business travelers to access the convenience and flexibility of corporate aircraft charters. Since 1981, Executive Fliteways has provided upscale, personalized, seamless service to its corporate and leisure clientele. With one call, email or form submission, immediate itinerary and price information is available from our knowledgeable charter sales representatives, who will also make arrangements for hotels, ground transportation and in-flight catering as required.

These kids were a riot! You never know if kids are going to be shy when you first meet them, and honestly you never know how verbal kids are at whatever age. These two? Talkers. So so precocious and hilarious. The first thing we did was sit on the steps and talk about our favorite pizza. That first picture is actually when I started messing around with them and told them my favorite pizza topping was chocolate brownies.
This shoot was a blast. Ariail and Oliver are my new best friends. Enjoy!

Clear Intentions Window Washing
Residential Window Washing
San Diego, CA
Clear Intentions Window Washing (CIWW) works solely in the residential market and strives to provide better service than all their competitors. They want to be remembered as "the friendly guys."
When they came to us, they were a start-up company with lots of experience, but had not created the brand personality needed to make their business look professional.
We got the opportunity to work with this entrepreneur who was willing to go the extra mile to stand out in the saturated window cleaning market.
Since Clear Intentions was a new business we had the pleasure of starting with a blank canvas. We recognized right away that they were committed professionals with clear intentions of building a successful business—just as their company name implies. We indicated their professionalism and entrepreneurial spirit by using bright colors that are easily seen from the street while they're working. We made the logo clean, crisp and modern to reflect their superb work and clean, to-the-point demeanor. We created a uniform that would keep cool during hot summer days yet look professional enough to be worn in multi-million-dollar homes. All of the marketing material that we created for them carried these same points and values.

Tonight, Jon Stewart will host his final episode of "The Daily Show." He's been at the show's helm for 16 years, from the end of the Clinton years to the close of the Obama era.
In that time, he's established himself as a national icon, taking to the air every night at 11 p.m. to, as New Yorker editor David Remnick put it, "expose our civic bizarreries."
In honor of the end of his Emmy-winning tenure — though not, he reminds us, his actual end ("Guys, let me make something clear," he reminded his audience at a recent taping, The Week reports. "I'm not dying.") — we looked back on the incredible and winding career of the legendary comedian.
Jonathan Stewart Leibowitz was born in 1962 in New York City. His mother, Marian, was a teacher who later became an educational consultant. His father, Don, was a physicist. (His older brother, Larry, was 2 at the time, and went on to work on Wall Street, and is the former COO of NYSE Euronext.)
Sources: The New Yorker, Moment
The Leibowitzes moved to a middle-class neighborhood in Lawrence Township, New Jersey, where Stewart grew up. His was one of the few Jewish families in town, and he was often teased as a kid, according to the New Yorker's Tad Friend. "He recalls being called 'Leibotits' and 'Leibosh--s,' and getting punched out at the bus stop when he was in the seventh grade."
Source: The New Yorker
When Stewart was 12, his parents divorced. According to The New Yorker, he was "deeply shaken by the breakup, and by his subsequent failure to find common ground with his father." In the 2002 profile, Stewart told Friend that his father had never seen him perform.
Source: The New Yorker
Though the young Stewart earned the title of "Best Sense of Humor" in high school, he was more invested in his soccer career, according to a profile in Moment Magazine. An all-state (honorable mention) pick his senior year, he chose The College of William and Mary, in part for its soccer team.
Source: Moment
"My college career was waking up late, memorizing someone else's notes, doing bong hits, and going to soccer practice," Stewart told New York Magazine in 1994. "A fine institution of higher learning, and I spent half of it bent over a little plastic tube going, 'Turn up the jam!'"
Source: New York
Stewart ultimately graduated with a degree in psychology and no plan, New York Magazine reports. Among his first jobs: working as the "agar chef" in a cancer research lab, separating live male and female mosquitoes for the state of New Jersey, and "performing for kids as part of a puppet show about the disabled." It would not be his last time performing with puppets, as evidenced here.
Source: New York
In 1986, he moved to New York City to try to make it in comedy. His second night on stage at the Bitter End, he changed his name. "The host's hesitation at trying to pronounce my name the first night bothered me," he told Friend.
Source: The New Yorker
In the Los Angeles Times, he characterized his early days of standup as being "sort of like bronco riding: 'How long can I stay up here?'" He was hooked. "[T]here's an excitement of being uncensored and just speaking your mind," he said. "In some ways it's gladiatorial. I think that's what drew me to it."
Stewart became a regular at New York's Comedy Cellar and got his start in TV with an (uncredited) writing gig for "Caroline's Comedy Hour" on A&E. In 1992, he landed a spot hosting MTV's "You Wrote It, You Watch It" and, as New York Magazine puts it, spent 13 weeks "trying to rise above the fart jokes."
David Letterman became a fan, and Stewart became a regular on "Late Night," even auditioning to take over the show when Letterman left for CBS. He didn't get the job — that went to Conan O'Brien (a goofier and more "huggable" choice, observed the Washington Post) — but Stewart did get tapped to host his own show on MTV. And so "The Jon Stewart Show" was born. In case you missed it:
After "The Jon Stewart Show" was cancelled, Stewart became a regular guest host of "The Late Late Show with Tom Snyder." He also acted, making guest appearances on shows like "Spin City" and "The Nanny." He was best when he was playing a version of himself, as he did on the "psuedo-realistic" sitcom "The Larry Sanders Show," Moment noted. Here he is, being (sort of) himself on "Larry Sanders."
He also appeared in a handful of movies, including the 1999 Adam Sandler comedy, "Big Daddy." Later, he would use every available opportunity to make fun of this phase of his career. "I'm a terrible actor!" he said on a recent episode of "The Daily Show."
Sources: The Washington Post, The Daily Show
But while he was successful — in addition to his TV and movie career, he'd also written a New York Times Best Seller, "Naked Pictures of Famous People" — he hadn't found his niche. "Stewart was in danger of becoming another Gilbert Gottfried or Dana Carvey: talented comedians who never found the right vessel and just faded away," The New Yorker observed. Here he is in "The Nanny."
And then, in 1999, 37-year-old Stewart took over "The Daily Show," replacing Craig Kilborn. After what New York calls a "slightly bumpy beginning," Stewart hit his stride. He steered the show away from its previous Hollywood focus and "came into his own" with his laser-sharp coverage of the 2000 presidential election.
Instead of leaning on what The New York Times called "random, easy-to-mock subjects," Stewart and his staff homed in on targets "who deserved to be targets," co-executive producer Kahane Cooperman told the paper. The shift paid off. In 2000, the show won its first Peabody. (It won again in 2004.)
Sources: The New York Times, Peabody Awards
And then 9/11 happened. When "The Daily Show" returned nine days later, Stewart's opening monologue made headlines for capturing the country's collective grief. It was a "somber, halting speech that addressed the sudden absurdity of his jester role as well as its importance," Friend wrote.
Stewart wasn't the only one who rose to stardom from the show. Among the (many) other standouts were Stephen Colbert and Steve Carell, who starred together in the triumphant recurring segment, "Even Stevphen." Case in point:
One of Stewart's most defining "Daily Show" moments happened off "The Daily Show." In 2004, he appeared on CNN's debate show, "Crossfire," and confronted hosts Paul Begala and Tucker Carlson, begging them to "stop hurting America." "You're partisan — what do you call it — hacks," Stewart said.
Among his best moments: his 2011 Glenn Beck takedown, his legendary 2009 Jim Cramer interview, and his heartbreaking 2010 interview with ill 9/11 first responders. But no list would be complete without mentioning his coverage of 2006's "Dick-Cheney-shot-a-guy-in-the-face-gate," here:
Not that Stewart has been above criticism — from all sides. (A recent Slate headline: "Why Jon Stewart Was Bad for the Liberals Who Loved Him.") But his most reliable enemy has been Fox News, which has repeatedly accused him of being a liberal propagandist in a "bromance" with Obama. It's been fodder for the show:

So what's next for Jon Stewart? Stand-up, maybe — at least, that's what he told Judd Apatow in an interview published in Apatow's new book. His biographer says she wouldn't be surprised if he also directed another film. (His directorial debut, "Rosewater," was released last year.)
And then there's his new farm for rescued animals. (Yes, really.) According to a press release from the rescue organization Farm Sanctuary, the Stewarts bought a farm in New Jersey to house animals rescued from cruelty. Here, a dog fan attends Stewart's 2010 event, "The Rally to Restore Sanity and/or Fear" in Washington.
Stewart may be leaving the show — comedian Trevor Noah takes over this fall — but his impact will continue. The "arena of political satire," declared the Washington Post, has been "radically altered." Not that there's any shortage of fodder for Noah. As Remnick put it, "the berserk never stops."

Rich Lowry says that a "plugged-in lefty" tells him he believes that Bernie Sanders will defeat Hillary Clinton in both Iowa and New Hampshire. This scenario may sound far-fetched, but polling data suggests it could come to pass.
A new WMUR/CNN Granite State Poll, conducted by the University of New Hampshire Survey Center from June 18 to 24, puts Sanders within 8 points of Clinton, 43-35 (with a margin of error of 5.2 percent). In Iowa, reportedly, a Suffolk University poll and a Morning Consult survey put Sanders within 10 points and 12 points, respectively, of Clinton.
Bloomberg's polling is considerably more favorable to Clinton. However, it shows that her margins are shrinking.
South Carolina is another key early state. Sanders apparently has no staff there, but his prospects aren't bleak. According to Politico, earlier this month the state chapter of the AFL-CIO jumped the gun and effectively backed the Sanders' candidacy before being forced to walk back the endorsement. And when the Vermont socialist visited the state, he had to change the venue for his swing through Charleston due to unexpectedly high interest
Additional anecdotal evidence supports the view that things aren't going swimmingly for the former Secretary of State. Crowds at her events have, at times, been disappointingly small. According to the Daily Caller, Virginia Democrats were offered free tickets Friday to the annual Jefferson-Jackson dinner at which Clinton was the featured speaker. The normal $30 fee for the event was waived.
One Republican operative exaggerated, but not by much when he quipped: "How bad is it out there for Hillary? She's gone from paid speeches to paying people to hear her speeches."
Why is Hillary struggling? In my view, it's not because of her various scandals. Democrats don't hold corruption against liberal candidates.
Are Hillary's struggles due, then, to her lack of skill as a campaigner? Partially. But Bernie Sanders isn't a great campaigner either.
The real problem is that Clinton, no matter how hard she tries to reinvent herself, isn't deemed left-wing enough by a near critical mass of her party. Sanders, a socialist, is more in line with the views of those likely to vote in primaries and caucuses. If he were a woman and Clinton a man, Sanders would be a virtual lock to defeat Hillary.
Noah Rothman at Commentary summarizes Hillary's plight:
Clinton has campaigned aggressively for a nomination that should, by rights, already be hers. She has contorted herself wildly, recanted her past policy preferences, and all but condemned her husband as a sellout to the cause; all in pursuit of the elusive support of the liberals who robbed her of the nomination once already.
And yet that seemingly unnecessary posturing has not solidified her support among Democrats. In fact, it appears to be ebbing.
The Democratic Party's leftward drift over the course of the last 15 years has been observable both in anecdotal and quantitative terms. Speaking with MSNBC's Andrea Mitchell in September of last year, a roundtable of Iowa Democrats uniformly expressed reservations about Clinton's perceived closeness to Wall Street and her hawkish approach to matters relating to foreign affairs. "I'm looking for someone that's a little more liberal," one politically active student told Mitchell.
The student is in good company. "In 2015, the proportion of Democrats and Democratic-leaning independents who said they were both socially liberal and economically moderate or liberal reached 47 percent," wrote Real Clear Politics analyst Mathew Disler this month. "Thirty-nine percent of participants in this group answered similarly in 2008, and only 30 percent did so in 2001."
One shudders to think what "economically moderate" means to Democrats. Perhaps it means they want merely to occupy Wall Street, not burn it down. Whatever the precise meaning, Hillary Clinton seems not to fit the bill as well as Bernie Sanders.
Ironically, though, the steam Sanders has gained may work to Clinton's advantage. It might be difficult now for another, more plausible candidate to jump in and steal his thunder. A potential entrant, such as Elizabeth Warren, could conclude that Clinton will be too tough to beat if the anti-Hillary left is divided between two reasonably attractive candidates.
The problem is similar to the one Robert Kennedy faced when he belatedly entered the 1968 presidential race, after Eugene McCarthy had courageously challenged President Lyndon Johnson. Kennedy arguably overcame the problem. But then, he was Bobby Kennedy. Elizabeth Warren isn't.
Let's not get ahead of ourselves, though. Let's instead enjoy the spectacle of Hillary Clinton attempting to ward off the implausible Bernie Sanders.
