Tips for Selecting Recessed Lights
Recessed lighting can significantly transform the look and feel and any room in your home. However, not all different types of recessed lights are the same, and not all of them work equally well in different rooms. Watch this video to learn more about the different types of recessed lighting and how to choose the right one for your needs.
After you select the perfect recessed lights for your home, have a residential electrician in Columbus handle the installation. Electricians will make sure that your recessed lighting is seamlessly installed for a beautiful finishing look. And if you still aren't sure about your interior lighting design, an electrical contractor can provide suggestions and recommendations based on your budget and style preferences.
What To Do During Power Outage
The days are getting cooler and shorter, which means winter storms are just around the corner. Weather-related incidents are among the most common causes of power outages, although any number of things can cause your home to lose power. Unfortunately, when the power goes out during the winter months in Ohio, there isn't much time to determine the cause. Instead, you will need to act quickly to protect your family and prevent any further damage. As you are making preparations for the upcoming winter season, make sure you have the number of a reputable electrician in Columbus within reach so you can seek immediate help in the event of an outage.
Check the Electrical Panel
You should first check the electrical panel to determine whether your power outage is the result of a blown fuse or tripped circuit breaker. If nothing appears wrong with the service panel, call your utility company to determine whether the power outage is a local or widespread problem. If no one else has reported a power outage and all of your neighbors still seem to have power, contact an emergency electrician to help get your power back on.
Unplug Major Appliances and Expensive Electronics
It's a good idea to unplug major appliances and expensive electronics during a power outage to avoid damaging them and your home's electrical system when the power comes back on. These appliances and electronics collectively drawing power at the same time when the electricity comes back on can overload your home's electrical system and may result in further damage and another power outage.
Prepare for the Long Haul
When the power goes out, you should always assume that it will be that way for an extended period of time. This mindset will help you be better prepared in the event that the power outage isn't quickly resolved. In the winter, this means dressing in layers and keeping the refrigerator and freezer shut to keep perishable food items safe and edible for a longer period of time.
Hiring an Emergency Electrician
Although most electrical problems are more of an inconvenience than an emergency, there are certain situations that call for the immediate attention of a certified emergency electrician in Columbus. Some electrical emergencies can lead to injuries, fires, and even death, so it's important that you waste no time in contacting an emergency electrician in your area at the first sign of an electrical emergency. These signs include smoking outlets, unidentifiable burning odors, and sparking service panels.
Electrical emergencies can't wait for normal business hours, so make sure the electrician you hire will be there when you need him, no matter what time your emergency strikes. The electrician should also provide an up-front estimate so you don't get taken advantage of by being charged hidden "after-hours" surcharges.
Benefits of Whole House Surge Protectors
A power surge happens faster than the time it takes to blink your eyes, but in that millisecond the spike in electricity can have big consequences. The Insurance Information Institute puts insurance claims from power surges in the same category as damage from lighting strikes, and together they resulted in more than $6 billion in losses between 2004 and 2011. Fortunately, there's an inexpensive way to protect yourself from surges and spikes resulting from lighting strikes, downed power lines, or cycling appliances. Read on to learn more about the benefits of a whole-home surge protector, then contact an electrical contractor in Columbus to have one installed in your home today.
Protects Expensive Electronics
Electronics and appliances are sitting ducks for power surges generated by lightning strikes and spikes in the grid. Unfortunately, it doesn't take much of a power surge to destroy sensitive (and expensive) electronic devices and appliances. A professionally installed whole-house surge protection device can protect your most expensive belongings from electrical damage. And trust us, the cost to have an electrician install a surge protector is a lot less than the cost to buy a new television, computer, or next-gen gaming system.
Saves Money on Electrical Repair
Spikes and surges in the grid can also take a toll on your home's electrical system. Depending on the strength and duration of the spike, a power surge may blow your service panel or even cause damage to the electrical wiring inside your walls. A whole-house surge protection device can help you avoid needing electrical repairs due to power surge damage.
Helps Keep the Lights On
Although it's rare for power surges to cause power outages, large enough surges in the grid can certainly be strong enough to leave your home in the dark. A professionally installed whole-home surge protection device will serve as a first line of defense against power outages resulting from powerful spikes and surges in the electrical delivery service.
She Knows: Modernizing Your Home [INFOGRAPHIC]
Did you know that 91% of purchases for the home are influenced by women? Women have tremendous economic power, though almost half of women feel that marketers don't understand them. When it comes to updating the home, it is women who often make most of the decisions. Updating your lighting fixtures can give your home a more welcoming glow in the kitchen, living room, dining room, and beyond. If you are thinking about selling your home in the near future, it's a good idea to update your appliances with sleek, modern choices. A residential electrician near Columbus can make sure your wiring is up-to-date so that your fixtures and appliances are safe as well as aesthetically pleasing. Check out this infographic to learn more about the influence of women as well as ideas for updating your home. Please share with your friends and family!

Pest Bird Removal and Control in Pennsylvania and New York
Fur & Feathers Wildlife Control offers comprehensive pest bird removal and control services for residents who are experiencing distress and property damage as a result of the presence of nuisance birds living in and around their property. Although many species of songbirds are welcome additions to our lawns and property, there are several species of nuisance birds that routinely cause issues including various health hazards, threats to public safety, and destruction to homes, businesses, and agricultural operations in Pennsylvania, New York, and throughout our extended service area including much of the Northeastern United States.
We Eliminate Nuisance Birds and Waterfowl
The main nuisance birds that create issues for our clients throughout Northeastern Pennsylvania and Central New York include:
Pigeons, Starlings, and Sparrows pose some of the greatest risks to human and companion animal health. In addition, they are known for causing destruction to buildings and other man-made structures. We eliminate these nuisance birds and waterfowl from your property efficiently to help you avoid the negative consequences that their presence may have on your property and your health.
Pigeons: The Main Avian Hazard to Human Health and Destruction
Pigeons are the main urban avian pest throughout the world –and one of the most dangerous. They were initially domesticated over 2,000 years ago and huge populations have since become feral, but they have never developed a fear of humans and have remained present in large numbers everywhere that humans thrive. The urine of pigeons is highly corrosive, their nests clog gutters, and they host an extensive variety of fungi, bacteria, viruses, and ectoparasites such as lice and mites that also attack humans.
Starlings: Highly Aggressive Birds That Leave a Trail of Destruction
European Starlings were introduced to the United States in the 19th century and have since become one of the most destructive pests in urban environments. These highly aggressive birds attack native bird species and gather in huge flocks, leaving a trail of destruction in their path. Their acidic urine and feces corrode and destroy all types of structures including those made of wood, stone, and metal. In addition, Starlings host a variety of parasites, fungi, and bacteria that pose a danger to human health.
Sparrow Nests Cause Water Backup and Destroy Homes
Sparrows lack natural predators in our region and exist in massive quantities throughout the Northeast. They breed rapidly and prefer to nest in and on houses and buildings where their nests create damage in the form of clogged drains and gutters that can cause massive water damage and even the potential for fires when they build nests in machinery. Their feces is acidic and damages all types of structures. They also host a variety of parasitic and harmful microorganisms that adversely affect human health.
Crows: The Most Damaging Avian Agricultural Pests
Crows are by far the region's most damaging avian agricultural pests and are known for harassing people and animals. These birds can create noisy disturbances and overwhelm orchards
Grackles Are Noisy Crop Destroyers and Feces Spreaders
Grackles are known for causing noise disturbances when they gather in large numbers and frequent waste disposal areas where they spread garbage and debris. They also frequent agricultural areas and destroy seedlings and crops. In addition, Grackles deposit large quantities of fecal matter resulting in slippery and unsanitary conditions.
Canada Geese Deposit Large Quantities of Foul Fecal Matter
Canada Geese are a major plague to suburban areas, particularly locations that have open water sources. Their numbers have increased dramatically over the past several decades. These large birds deposit significant quantities of large-sized, unsanitary fecal matter on the country clubs, parks, golf courses, farms, and lawns where they increasingly take advantage of a life of ease instead of migrating for the winter. They trample and consume huge quantities of agricultural goods, create foul conditions in ponds and public reservoirs, and create serious hazards for airlines.
Turkey Vultures Destroy Roofs and Deposit Decaying Carcasses
Turkey Vultures are known to create massive property damage within a very short period of time. These large scavengers rapidly attack exterior surfaces such as roofs and caulking and deposit decaying animal flesh in close proximity to human habitations. These bones and carcasses pose an ongoing health risk and are an aesthetic eyesore for homeowners and businesses. Their large, foul-smelling droppings pose additional serious risks to public health and their noisy behavior is usually unwelcome, as well.
Gulls Damage Property and Harass People
Gulls are common along coastal areas, as well as large lakes and rivers. These large birds are a nuisance at dumps, piers, and harbors and they cause significant damage to boats, streetlights, buildings, and low-flying aircraft. In addition, these bold birds have a reputation for grabbing food right out of the hands of people.
Woodpeckers Damage Wooden Structures and Create Nuisance Noise
Woodpeckers are mainly found in wooded regions where they are well known for creating extensive damage to wooden houses and other wood-based structures including telephone poles and fences. Their excessively loud early-morning drumming creates a noise disturbance that is a nuisance for people living in the area.
Cliff and Barn Swallows Leave Fecal Trails Down Buildings
Cliff and Barn Swallows have been very successful at adapting from their native habitat of cliffs and caves to homes and business structures. Their mud-based nests are an unwelcome and unsightly addition to residential structures and office buildings, as are the fecal trails that descend from their nests. Swallows also harbor a variety of parasites that readily enter structures through tiny cracks in the buildings' exteriors and create unsanitary conditions and infestation issues.
Choose Fur & Feathers for Prompt, Legal Bird Management in the NE US
Most of these birds are protected by state and federal law and cannot legally be exterminated. If you are experiencing a nuisance issue or are facing a potential health hazard as a result of a bird infestation in the Northeastern United States, contact Fur & Feathers Wildlife Control right away.
We offer prompt 100% humane and effective management solutions for removal and control of these and many other species of wildlife, as well as cleanup, repair, and barrier installation service throughout our special extended bird and waterfowl management area of New York, New Jersey, Maryland, Delaware, Pennsylvania, and Western Massachusetts. In addition, we offer cleanup and damage repair, as well as bird perching deterrents and the most effective barrier installation available. Call us toll-free at (866) 442-9360 to schedule an appointment.

Information to Marketing Authorisation Holders - Sunset Clause
The Sunset Clause in Directive 2001/83/EC was implemented in Article 7 of the Pharmaceutical Act No 93/1994
"The marketing authorisation is invalidated if the medicinal product for which the marketing authorisation is granted has not been placed on the market within three years of the granting of the authorisation, or if a medicinal product for which authorisation has been granted, and which has been placed on the market, has not in fact been on the market for a continuous period of three years. The Medicines Agency may grant exemptions from this provision in special circumstances, and for reasons relating to public health. Such exemptions shall be supported by valid reasons."
The Icelandic Medicines Agency, IMA, is of the opinion that applying the sunset clause could counteract the necessary increase of marketed medicinal products in Iceland. Hence IMA has decided not to enforce the sunset clause for the time being. Marketing authorisation holders will be informed should this decision be amended.

Embracing and savoring curious presence amid the flux.
I love this time of year. Reflecting on what has happened, and considering the possibilities of the clean slate provided by a new year. 2014 held a lot of great things, which I've reflected on in my journal writings and in a "Year in Review" that I just posted to this blog. I'll start with the resolutions I've created for this year, a product of much thought and writing, most of which happened in my written journal and some of which happened in a posted reflection on New Years Resolutions since 2007. On to my direction for 2015:
Embracing and savoring curious presence amid the flux.
While not listed specifically in my chosen resolutions, I'd also like to give shout-outs to the ideas of 'Do the Work,' outlook, limitations and gratitude. While I never doubt my ability to commit, be dedicated and preserver (which is why it didn't need to be in my resolutions), I DO think it is valuable, in the face of intimidation and fear, to step up and just keep doing. The more you do, the more possibility there is for a gem to surface. I also wish to keep the back of my mind remembering that I am in control of my own outlook; so empowering. Additionally, in looking back, the idea of limitations as freeing has remained important: they create a scope through which to move toward accomplishment and fulfillment. While I also never doubt my ability to be grateful, I appreciate the consistent reminder.
In 2015, I am looking forward to:
January: Putting up Tune, my MFA thesis production
February: Performing with FFF at the Cowles
March: Performing with Gesel Mason at Dance Place in D.C.
April: Defending my thesis and turning 30
May: Graduating with my MFA/ getting married
June: Honeymooning in Europe/ performing as 'Nerdette' for the Saints
July: Working with Karla and EEE on the 'Lost Voices' show
August: Producing Rhythmically Speaking 2015
It is going to be a big year, particularly in the first half. Noticeably, I do not have anything listed after August. This is a pretty clear reflection of what the year looks like; after then, very little has crystalized yet for my professional life. While I do not doubt that I will cultivate some amazing opportunities/ they will arise, it is difficult for me to not know what they will be. Rather than approaching this with fear or uneasiness, I am willing myself to approach this with open eyes, an open heart, and trust. Happy New Year. Onward toward
Embracing and savoring curious presence amid the flux.

Changing Capacity On-Demand Core Count in Exadata
We recently implemented an Exadata X6 at a one of client sites (yes, we don't Oracle ACS, we do it ourselves). However, the client failed to tell us that they had licensed only a subset of the cores per compute, after we actually had implmeneted and *migrated* production databases onto the X6. So how do we set the core count correctly after implementation (post-OEDA run). We heard horror stories about other folks saying they needed to re-image to set core count. To be specific, its easy to increase cores, but decrease is nasty business.
The steps below are ones we used to decrease the core count:
1. Gracefully stop all databases running on all compute nodes.
2. Login to the compute nodes as root and run the "dbmcli" utility
3. Display the current core count using the following command:
LIST DBSERVER attributes coreCount
4. Change the core count to the desired count using this command (this needs done on all compute nodes):
ALTER DBSERVER pendingCoreCount = 14
NOTE: Since we are decreasing the number of cores after installation of the system, the FORCE option needs to be done.
ALTER DBSERVER pendingCoreCount = 14 FORCE
5. Reboot
6. Verify the change was correct by using the "LIST" command in step 3.
Just FYI… Troubleshooting
If there is an issue with the MS service starting up, it could be because of the Java being used on the system.

Blown Chryslers Rule!
In the early days of American muscle ruling the street and strip, there were few words that struck more magic in a gearhead's heart than the mention of someone running a blown 392 Chrysler. The first series of Chrysler Hemi-head engines were held in such high esteem that young and old alike would do just about anything to get their hands on one. For '50s and '60s kids, the hot ticket was to buy an AMT 1/25th-scale '32 Ford model just to get a hold of the blown Chrysler engine it included.
For Larry "The Muffler Man" Taylor of Chattaroy, Washington, it wasn't AMT's '32 Ford car model that inspired him to stuff a blown Chrysler into his '55 Ford Courier, but rather a history dating back to '58 when he ran his first blown Chrysler-powered dragster. When it came time for Larry to detune the 392 Hemi to adapt it to his '55 Ford sedan delivery project, he contacted renowned Chrysler Hemi guru Gene Adams for a little advice on how to tame the blown beast. The first thing Gene did was refer Larry to Engle Cams to acquire a hydraulic grind that works real well for 392s. A little bit of a Hemi guru himself, Larry incorporated a few of his own tricks into the iconic Mopar motor. For the oiling and ignition system, Larry adapted a 340 oil pump and a late-model Chrysler electronic ignition. He told us, "You're not going to believe this, but I used cast pistons with 9.5:1 compression to plug .030-over cylinders (the key word is cast)." One thing that did not come as a surprise was that the Muffler Man fabricated his own headers and exhaust pipes for the '55.
Thanks to a Rochester Quadrajet carburetor perched on top of the Hampton blower with a Cragar intake manifold, the '55 gets relatively impressive gas mileage. Larry told us that he averaged over 16 mpg driving the Ford to the Spokane Goodguys show and around town while there. Larry also attributed the good mileage to the 3.70:1 gears the '55 came with in its original Y-block 272 with a Fordomatic transmission (as an aside, it's interesting to note that stick-shift Couriers came equipped standard with a 4.11:1 rearend).
One of the '55 Ford passenger car's weak spots was the front suspension-weak as in it didn't take much of a hit to tear the control-arm pickup points right out of the frame. Larry eliminated this problem while clearing the way for the 392 Hemi by crafting his own version of a Mustang II frontend. For brakes, Larry stuck with the stock Ford units, but he opted for a '68 Cad Eldo tilt and telescopic steering column to guide the '55.
Bringing the Courier's body back to life was a project that took over four years for Larry to complete, mainly due to rust. Washington is a real nice place if you like lush green scenery, but the state's heavy rainfall takes its toll on vintage tin in a big way. After Larry dealt with the rust repairs and minor customizing, such as frenching the license plate into the tailgate to get the '55 closer to paint, the finishing bodywork was handled by Leonard Wanke of Sumner, Washington. With the bodywork out of the way, Leonard then sprayed the '55 in Kenworth orange Dupont Imron polyurethane paint. Once the '55 returned from paint, it was time to put the interior back together, but not before Glenn Thompson had a chance to string in a Centech wiring harness and hook it all up.
For the '55's seating arrangement, Larry stuck with the original driver's bucket seat along with the optional passenger bucket the '55 came with. In place of the Spartan brown vinyl upholstery with painted Masonite paneling and door panels, Pat O' Grady of Spokane reupholstered the interior from the top to bottom in two shades of gray Naughahyde, taking special pains to sculpt intricate flame designs into the panels.
After investing all the time and money that Larry has into his '55 Courier, one might assume he wouldn't consider selling it at any price. Funny enough, this was what Larry thought until he recently discovered another project he'd like to undertake. Next time around, Larry has decided to sell his '55 in order to build a '57 Ford Courier that has been stored indoors for over 30 years. When we asked Larry about the engine he intended to run, he surprised us by saying he was going to try something a little different this time: a blown 427 Ford.

Discover Class
Learn the mission and vision of Grace Fellowship and take the first step to getting connected to a missional community. The Discover Class is a great place to ask questions about the church beliefs and behavior. This class is the first step in becoming a church member, but you do not have to become a member after taking the class.
Discipleship exists to help individuals grow in their relationship with Jesus Christ. All of the basics of the faith are taught and discussed in a friendly mentoring environment of a small 2-6 person same gender groups or one-on-one. Discipleship not only teaches the basics but also train the future leaders of missional communities, elders, staff, church planters, and even missionaries of our church.
Men and Women of Grace
These events are get-togethers for fellowship and sharing. Each of these events are fun outings or gatherings to meet and get to know each other on a deeper level.
Youth of Grace
The youth of Grace meet in groups that are age appropriate according to their personal development. During church, we have a class for 0-3 year olds and a class for 4-6 year-olds. Our 6-12 year- olds have their own missional community that meets weekly where adult leaders pour into their lives. Youth ages 13-18 are included in the adult missional communities as well as the opportunity to be discipled by mentors in the church.
Our Gospel Opportunities ministries focus on the outward opportunity we each have to spread the gospel outside of our normal sphere of influence outside our neighborhood missions and even overseas in England and the Dominican Republic.
Gospel Opportunities England (GOEngland.org)
GOEngland is a partnership of churches in a grassroots effort to see the gospel go forth in their area and beyond! Churches partner together, sharing resources to plant churches. We desire to see the advancement of Reformed churches through church planting movements in areas throughout England and around the world.
Gospel Opportunities Dominican Republic (GODominican.org)
Go Dominican Republic is a ministry that first of all comes alongside another ministry (Sociedad Lucas) reaching out to the helpless and hopeless of the Dominican Republic through education, hospital, construction, and church planting. GO Dominican Republic's focus is to assist Sociedad Lucas and to develop and train nationals for the work of the ministry of discipleship and church planting.
Gospel Opportunities North Alabama (GONorthAlabama.org)

Back-to-school is right around the corner and the State of Texas is helping to ease some of the burden for parents.
Friday was the start to the Tax Free Weekend. The State's Comptroller's Office offers the sales tax holiday each year to give parents a small break on paying sales tax for many back-to-school items.
The law gives retailers the approval to exempt most clothing, shoes, school supplies and backpacks that are less than $100. Parents save about $8 for every $100 they spend.

SDS-PAGE Analysis of Purified CD79a Rabbit Recombinant Monoclonal Antibody AE00109. Confirmation of Purity and Integrity of Antibody.
Evidence of mono-specificity:
Specificity and selectivity of AE00109 to CD79a were tested on a human protein array, showing monospecificity, against >19,000 full-length human proteins. A protein BLAST search against H. sapiens reveal the following closely related other protein: CD79B. This related protein was part of the array used and showed no cross-reactivity signals.
The Z-score represents the strength of a signal that an antibody (through a fluorophore-tagged secondary reagent) produces when binding to a particular protein on the array. Z-scores are in units of standard deviations (SD's) above the mean value of all signals generated on that array. When Z-scores are arranged in descending order, the difference between two successive values will be the S-score for the first. Thus, the S-score represents the relative specificity of the antibody to its intended target. An antibody is considered specific to its intended target, when it has an S-score of at least 2.5. For example, if an antibody binds to intended protein X with a Z-score of 43 and to the cross-reacting protein Y with a next Z-score of 14, then the S-score for the antibody to intended target X equals 29 (43-14).

A tisket, a tasket, oh bring me a full basket. I love full baskets. My secret dream used to be that someone would give me a basket! One of those huge gift baskets that have pate and pickled mushrooms, Camembert and water biscuits, pickled mussels, tiny onions, and exotic jams. A basket full of things I would never buy for myself.
If I received a basket like that, I used to think, I would leave it on the table with all its little treasures still tucked into the raffia. Then at each mealtime I would dig out a tin of something I'd never eaten, and I'd make a meal of it, eating the whole can of whatever it was.
Or I would invite a friend over to share the bounty one afternoon. But the main thing I knew was that I would never really unpack the basket and put all the items away, because then they would become ordinary. Their charm was that they lay nestled, half-hidden, in that special big basket, just for me.
Well, that was my fantasy. Since then, we have actually had such a basket. My husband won it as a door prize, and it was a whopper of a basket! Because he knows I love doing it, he invited me to open the shiny cellophane and investigate the contents of the basket. It had more jars and cans and packages than I had ever imagined.
We unpacked the whole basket, ooh-ing and aah-ing over each gift, until the basket was empty except for its shredded red cellophane packing. My husband neatly separated the jars and packages into types: cheeses in one pile, chocolates in another, pickled items in another. This was already more organization than I would have wanted, had it been MY basket. But the next morning, nothing was left on the table. He had taken every item to our basement pantry. All the little fancy mustards were now encircling our backup jar of ordinary
In short, my husband's organizing imperative had taken the golden excitement of that gift basket and turned it into ordinary dross. His actions were very practical, but the sparkle of the gift basket was lost.
It felt a little like learning the truth about Santa Claus.
Nowadays, of course, gift baskets have changed. In November we start receiving catalogs from the gift basket companies. You now buy themed baskets. For a baby gift, you can order a basket with a teddy bear and a bathinette complete with a soft little towel. In my opinion, gift baskets should contain nothing but FOODvery fancy, very expensive tins and jars of food! Anything else is an abomination.

What Motorcycle Will I Be Riding in 5 Years?
This question jumped into my mind at 5 AM. So much for getting any sleep tonight. Think about your motorcycle. Now think about your dream motorcycle. Now look back at your motorcycle. It's not your dream bike, is it? Maybe you don't even have a dream motorcycle. Maybe you have a list of a few you'd really. I know I do.
I've been riding for 6 years now. In that short time I've owned 11 motorcycles or scooters. I've owned everything from a stable of midsize cruises, to a heavily modified 1990 Honda Hawk GT650 N, to a couple two-stroke scooters. I'm still trying to get it right, but along the way I'm learning what I like, what I dislike, what I keep coming back to, and why.
The only question left for you and I now, reader, is what are we going to ride next?

Does Honda's CBR-125R Sale Do More Harm Than Good?
Honda has dropped the price of the CBR-125R from $3,499 to $2,299. That's a $1,200 reduction that many Canadian would-be motorcycle enthusiasts are excited about. The 2012 Honda CBR-125R has come a long way from the first generation 2007 Honda CBR-125R we reviewed years ago. That was the same bike that my ex-girlfriend was ticketed on for doing 5 km/hr over the speed limit by Toronto Police. This new CBR has been redesigned, with a little more weight, but that isn't necessarily a bad thing on the highway, nor are the thicker tires.
While many will be welcome a lightweight and beginner-friendly motorcycle at a great pricepoint, we need to look at the vehicles that we aren't seeing, and that we likely won't be seeing in Canada any time soon, because of it. When it comes to the Canadian motorcycle industry, does Honda's CBR-125R do more harm than it does good?

|Georgetown University
Wheaton College, Illinois (BA)
Michael John Gerson (born May 15, 1964) is an op-ed columnist for The Washington Post, a Policy Fellow with the ONE Campaign,[1][2] a visiting fellow with the Center for Public Justice,[3] and a former senior fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations.[4] He served as President George W. Bush's chief speechwriter from 2001 until June 2006, as a senior policy advisor from 2000 through June 2006, and was a member of the White House Iraq Group.[5]
He helped write the inaugural address for the second inauguration of George W. Bush, which called for neo-conservative intervention and nation-building around the world to effect the spread of democracy to third world countries.[6]
Gerson and commentator Amy Holmes are the co-hosts of a politically conservative-oriented television talk show on PBS titled "In Principle," since April 13, 2018.[7]
Gerson was raised in an Evangelical Christian family[8] in St. Louis, Missouri, attending Westminster Christian Academy for high school. His paternal grandfather was Jewish.[8] He attended Georgetown University for a year and then transferred to Wheaton College in Illinois, graduating in 1986.[9]
Before joining the Bush Administration, he was a senior policy advisor with The Heritage Foundation, a conservative public policy research institution.[10] He also worked at various times as an aide to Indiana Senator Dan Coats and a speechwriter for the Presidential campaign of Bob Dole before briefly leaving the political world to cover it as a journalist for U.S. News & World Report.[11] Gerson also worked at one point as a ghostwriter for Charles Colson.[12]
In early 1999, Karl Rove recruited Gerson for the Bush campaign.[13]
Gerson was named by Time as one of "The 25 Most Influential Evangelicals In America." The February 7, 2005 issue listed Gerson as the ninth most influential.[10]
Gerson joined the Bush campaign before 2000 as a speechwriter and went on to head the White House speechwriting team. "No one doubts that he did his job exceptionally well," wrote Ramesh Ponnuru in a 2007 article otherwise very critical of Gerson in National Review. According to Ponnuru, Bush's speechwriters had more prominence in the administration than their predecessors did under previous presidents because Bush's speeches did most of the work of defending the president's policies, since administration spokesmen and press conferences did not. On the other hand, he wrote, the speeches would announce new policies that were never implemented, making the speechwriting in some ways less influential than ever.[14]
On June 14, 2006, it was announced that Gerson was leaving the White House to pursue other writing and policy work.[15] He was replaced as Bush's chief speechwriter by The Wall Street Journal chief editor William McGurn.
Gerson proposed the use of a "smoking gun/mushroom cloud" mixed-metaphor during a September 5, 2002 meeting of the White House Iraq Group, in an effort to sell the American public on the nuclear dangers posed by Saddam Hussein. According to Newsweek columnist Michael Isikoff,
The original plan had been to place it in an upcoming presidential speech, but WHIG members fancied it so much that when the Times reporters contacted the White House to talk about their upcoming piece [about aluminum tubes], one of them leaked Gerson's phrase – and the administration would soon make maximum use of it.[16]
Gerson has said one of his favorite speeches was given at the National Cathedral on September 14, 2001, a few days after the September 11, 2001 attacks, which included the following passage: "Grief and tragedy and hatred are only for a time. Goodness, remembrance, and love have no end. And the Lord of life holds all who die, and all who mourn."[17]
Gerson is credited with coining such phrases as "the soft bigotry of low expectations" and "the armies of compassion".[18] His noteworthy phrases for Bush are said to include "Axis of Evil," a phrase adapted from "axis of hatred," itself suggested by fellow speechwriter David Frum but deemed too mild.[19]
In an article by Matthew Scully (one of Gerson's co-speechwriters) published in The Atlantic (September 2007) Gerson is criticized for seeking the limelight, taking the credit for other people's work and for creating a false image of himself.
It was always like this, working with Mike. No good deed went unreported, and many things that never happened were reported as fact. For all of our chief speechwriter's finer qualities, the firm adherence to factual narrative is not a strong point.[20]
Of particular note is the invention of the phrase "axis of evil." Scully claims that the phrase "axis of hatred" was coined by David Frum and forwarded to colleagues by email. The word "hatred" was changed to "evil" by someone other than Gerson and was done because "hatred" seemed the more melodramatic word at the time.[21]
Scully also had this to say about Gerson:
My most vivid memory of Mike at Starbucks is one I have labored in vain to shake. We were working on a State of the Union address in John's (McConnell's) office when suddenly Mike was called away for an unspecified appointment, leaving us to 'keep going.' We learned only later, from a chance conversation with his secretary, where he had gone, and it was a piece of Washington self-promotion for the ages: At the precise moment when the State of the Union address was being drafted at the White House by John and me, Mike was off pretending to craft the State of the Union in longhand for the benefit of a reporter.[21]
After leaving the White House, Gerson wrote for Newsweek magazine for a time. On May 16, 2007, Gerson began his tenure as a twice-weekly columnist for The Washington Post. His columns appear on Wednesdays and Fridays.[22]
Gerson, a neo-conservative, has repeatedly criticized other conservatives in his column and conservatives have returned the favor. One of Gerson's first columns was entitled "Letting Fear Rule", in which he compared skeptics of President Bush's immigration reform bill to nativist bigots of the 1880s.[23]
In October 2017, Gerson referred to President Trump's "fundamental unfitness for high office" and asked whether he is "psychologically and morally equipped to be president? And could his unfitness cause permanent damage to the country?" He cited "the leaked cries for help coming from within the administration. They reveal a president raging against enemies, obsessed by slights, deeply uninformed and incurious, unable to focus, and subject to destructive whims."[24]
In August 2019, Gerson wrote that it is a "scandal" that white evangelical Protestants are not in a state of "panic" about their own demographic decline in the United States.[25]
Gerson suffers from major depressive disorder.[26]
His wife Dawn was born in South Korea. She was adopted by an American family when she was six years old and raised in the Midwestern United States. The couple, who met in high school, have two sons and reside in Northern Virginia.[27][28][29]

While the Street is somewhat disappointed with the details of the stimulus package (most feel that $300 per person is not going to make a big difference), there is agreement that raising the conforming loan limit for mortgages that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac can buy to $625,000 from $417,000 is an important development.
Why? I just got off the phone with a mortgage lender in Philadelphia; he believes this could lead to a refinancing boom and he is already contacting clients to make them aware of the coming changes.
Here's the stats: right now the rate for a 30-year $600,000 mortgage is 6.625 percent. That is $3,841 a month. But if the law is changed, that cost will come down, because the rate for a loan at the current conforming limit (now $417,000) is 5.625 percent a month, a full percentage point below that of the nonconforming loan.
At 5.625 percent a month, that $600,000 mortgage drops to $3,453 a month, a savings of $388 A MONTH.
That is significant. Significant enough to make the difference between affording and not affording a home to some, particularly those in high cost areas; and significant enough to get mortgage bankers to call their clients.

New Jersey Senator Cory Booker is hinting that he may be a married man by the time he is sworn in as president if he wins the 2020 election. Booker and girlfriend Rosario Dawson appeared together on The RuPaul Show. The last bachelor to be elected president was Grover Cleveland in 1886. Booker pointed out the swearing in isn't until January of 2021, and then said "You never know what might happen between now and then." Booker has been dating the actress since October. He told RuPaul that he's even started writing love poems to Dawson.

As a result smtp sending mails does not work "no connection to computer smtp.web.de"
I included an other user and configured kmail, wrote a message and smtp worked.

Great National Review Article
Leo Banks has an article in today's National Review Online on the current situation on a ranch south of Tucson, Arizona. On quote in particular caught my eye.
We did that with the Boston Tea Party, she says. We were taxed without representation and we rose up and changed it. I think the students in the streets and these young ACLU individuals here are being used. When you talk to them you realize it's all emotion. There's no logic. They don't have a clue.She is Pat King and she owns a ranch 40 miles north of the border. Her ranch is on the front line of the illegal immigration debate. She's talking about the ACLU "volunteers"/useful idiots that show up at Minuteman stations and honk their horns and flash their lights of their cars when the border patrol shows up to enforce our immigration laws.
I had a similar experience with a family member the other day. My wife's cousin was telling me how he would have liked to take May 1 off with the thousands of latinos on the "Day Without Illegals". I asked him why and he said, "solidarity". I asked him what he would have solidarity with and he replied "workers". He was against big business. This is a guy who works in the Pharmaceutical industry. Big business? Pat King is right, it's emotion and no logic. This debate is about sovereignty, not big business or workers.

The Challenge was fortunate enough to partner with the Hardwick Family and Hardwick Planting Company in Tensas Parish, where the Top Finalist Teams will be implementing their innovations in a real-world setting during Phase 2 of the Tulane Nitrogen Reduction Challenge.
Somerset Plantation is approximately 20,000 acres consisting of 14,000 acres of farmland and 6,000 acres of hardwood timberland located in Tensas Parish in northeast Louisiana along the Mississippi River near Newellton, LA. Hardwick Planting Company partners Jay, Mary, Mead and Marshall Hardwick produce 9,000 acres of cotton, corn, soybeans, wheat and sorghum on the family's historic plantation. Agriculture production, primarily cotton in the early years, dates to 1814; and the property has had only two owners since that time. Somerset has been in Mary Hardwick's family for nearly 100 years and is currently in its fourth generation of ownership.
Jay and Mary Hardwick have been farming since 1981 on Somerset Plantation. Jay is the past chairman on Cotton Incorporated, National Cotton Council, American Cotton Producers and former secretary of the National Peanut Board. He is the current chairman of EWR, a national custom software provider for agriculture and other industries. Mary is Somerset Plantation's managing partner of the extended family owner partnership and oversees all aspects of management of the 20,000-acre property.
Mead and Marshall, advisors to the Grand Challenge, are partners with their parents, Jay and Mary Hardwick, at Hardwick Planting Company. Mead obtained a Bachelor of Business Administration with a major in Finance from Southern Methodist University in Dallas, TX in 2004, and Marshall obtained a Bachelor of Agriculture Business in 2011 and a Masters of Science in the School of Plant, Environmental, and Soil Sciences from Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge, LA in 2013. Both are currently enrolled in The Louisiana Master Farmer program and are working toward certification.
The Hardwick family has been extensively involved with conservation and restoration efforts in the area for many years. Almost 500 acres have been removed from agriculture production and restored to their natural existence along with the continued preservation of 3,000 more acres. In addition, approximately 6,000 acres of hardwood timberland are maintained which provide habitat for the Louisiana black bear.
The Hardwicks firmly believe it is crucial to combine productive agricultural operations with maximum natural resource protection and a comprehensive conservation plan for the farm. Hardwick Planting Company's mission is to achieve a viable, profitable and sustainable farm enterprise that pursues the ethical stewardship of all land resources with minimal impact upon the farm ecosystem. To pursue this mission, they have implemented conservation practices and systems such as extensive crop rotation, minimum tillage, filter strips and wetland restoration and preservation. Hardwick Planting Company was recently awarded the 2015 National Wetlands Award for Landowner Stewardship for their effort of blending production agriculture and conservation.

According to our Frequency Matters report, only 24 percent of email lists consist of highly engaged subscribers, but they account for 83 percent of total reads. However, for best-in-class senders, this proportion is much higher, attributing to their superior program performance.
Most marketers use engagement-level data to improve audience segmentation. For some, this is an evolution of outdated spam filtering practices and has now become standard, even if it is a roadblock to reaching business goals.
While traditional factors such as infrastructure, authentication, and certification benefits still play a critical role in achieving inbox placement, audience engagement plays an important role too. Using data from Return Path's Consumer Network, we carried out a detailed analysis that establishes a clear correlation between engagement and inbox placement.
Based on Return Path's panel, subscribers are grouped into three categories:
- Primary: Actively engaged with their inbox over the last 30 days.
- Secondary: Less engaged than primary accounts. They receive a high number of promotional and transactional messages, but few personal messages.
- Dead: This group shows very little engagement with their inbox over the last 30 days.
Key findings:
- Over 75 percent of emails sent by best-in-class brands go to primary accounts and achieve average inbox placement rates of over 90 percent.
- Brands with average inbox placement rates lower than 10 percent are only sending 33 percent of their emails to primary accounts.
- The worst performing programs send most of their emails to secondary accounts (49 percent) and dead accounts (18 percent).
The correlation between engagement and email performance
For most mailbox providers, the message is clear—only the best senders will reach the inbox. The following illustration shows the composition of the target audience as a function of inbox placement. By profiling 125 brands' target audiences and their inbox placement rates, we identify a clear correlation.
This graph profiles senders by the percentage of primary, secondary, and dead accounts in their lists, as well as their average inbox placement rates. The linear trend lines show that inbox placement increases as the percentage of primary accounts targeted increases. Best-in-class brand subscriber lists contain over 75 percent primary accounts and average more than 90 percent inbox placement. Top-performers (82 percent primary, 16 percent secondary, 2 percent dead) are averaging over 99 percent inbox placement.
Conversely, the more secondary and dead accounts targeted, the lower the inbox placement. Brands with lists containing 49 percent secondary and 18 percent dead email addresses, only average between zero to 10 percent inbox placement.
This correlation is especially clear when we focus only on the brands achieving between 90% and 100% Inbox Placement:
This correlation highlights an important relationship between a sender's list growth strategy and the resulting levels of engagement their program is likely to experience.
Recommendations for improving list quality and subscriber engagement
- Increase the number of primary accounts by monitoring each subscriber data collection point. Comparing KPIs such as open rate, click rate, complaint rate, and evasion rate as a function of how the addresses were sourced should be useful for your decision making.
- Build trust during the subscription process. Some brands are more trusted than others, meaning subscribers are more likely to provide their primary account during sign up. Building trust includes making a strong "no third-party share" statement, being specific about how personal data will be processed, and providing preferences so subscribers can tailor content and frequency.
- Maintain good list hygiene by excluding inactive subscribers after a reasonable period of time.
- Adapt send frequency and content for less engaged subscribers.
- Allow users to change their email address using a preference center.
Applying list quality best practices is a good first step for building the foundation for improved engagement. Check out Return Path's blog for tips and tricks for improving list quality. Also, consider Real-Time Email Validation as a solution for decreasing the amount of secondary and dead accounts on your list.
Marketers should also re-evaluate the growth methods of their lists. Not surprisingly, acquiring new addresses "on the cheap" can lead to an increase in secondary addresses and dead addresses.
This research reinforces, more than ever, the importance of subscriber engagement with brands, and their email program. Return Path clients can even apply these insights into their own email program. By using product features like Frequency Finder, they can see the breakdown of their own list into primary, secondary, and dead accounts.
Methodology :
Return Path analyzed 125 sending domains to identify their overall inbox placement and percentage of primary, secondary, and dead accounts in their email lists. Depending on their average inbox placement rate, we grouped the various sending domains by the percentage of account types they were sending to. The data set used is from Return Path's consumer network panel, which monitors the behavioral data of more than 2 million actual webmail subscribers.

Coachella (pronounced koe-CHEL-uh) is one of the coolest mistakes you may ever hear that just so happens also to be a cool place in the dessert. Confused? Don't worry, by the looks of the celebrated fashion from this festival in the dessert, the patrons there are too.
The Coachella Valley Music & Artis Festival is a major stop for festival fans everywhere. However, this year, things are looking a little different on all ends: talent, fashion, and people. Traditionally there is a melting pot of genres but never so much pop and hip-hop. Now the culture of hip-hop and pop is beginning to flourish a little more and inevitably imposing on Coachella. However, the festival has become largely popular with mainstream artists and their followings. To the vintage patrons, I dare to call them, Coachella has simply gone "Pop." For some of us, that's a great thing.
2017 Coachella was the place to be for the cool kids with an iconic outcast of headliners like Kendrick Lamar and Lady Gaga – both unique in their own right. With that said the eclectic crowd had outfits to impress even the most traditional festival goers.
While the Lifers most certainly broadened the Coachella fashion horizons, by putting a relaxed and generational twist on the denim and lace traditions, nevertheless, the vibe was certainly still very much so, Coachella. And we know that means Sunglasses, denim, and lace all over the place! That's so typical though.
There is so much more to get out of Coachella such as the way it all gets put together and just how astonishing the prices can be on some of this style.
'Chella – Celebrity Style!
Coachella isn't just about the festival and the music. Coachella is also about the festive fashion – believe it or not. The fashion is part of the experience. There is no Coachella without discussing the ridiculous outfits you've spied with your little eye. It's a guarantee that you don't need to whip out your binoculars to see the sights as the outfit extraordinaire's are everywhere.
What you may not expect is that outside of the actual musical headliners, there were some other more notable appearances at Coachella this year. Rihanna and Kehlani for example, came through the function just to enjoy it like the rest.
Check out Rihanna's glittered out costume from weekend one (April 14-16):
Travis Scott came to catch some attention in the spring/summer in his Valentino camo jacket and those Gucci shoes with socks:
The bold and beautiful Kehlani showed face – or maybe not so much face – and a little more cheek for weekend two (April 21-23). Perhaps a caption of "Cheekie Chella" would be more fitting:
There's a place for everyone at Coachella but most of all there's a place for your style, either low-budget, high-class, or couture, we're sure you'll find a photo to bomb at Coachella. Better yet, with everyone swarming to find some inspiration and elevation there are tons of festival-goers that simply become fans of each other. If you couldn't make it to Coachella this year, don't fret. Take away some inspiration for your spring/summer wardrobe and don't worry, be 'Chella.

Thank Christ in the Heavens, weed is now completely legal in Colorado. On New Year's day, unredeemable deviants from all over the state lined up in orderly fashion, peacefully purchased their pot, and went home to smoke it. They even obeyed the remaining injunction against smoking in public, instead of celebrating in the streets like hippies like to do.
David Brooks is still worried. Proffering no evidence better than freshman economics, he warns that legalizing weed will lower production costs, which will invite new competition. Competition will bid down prices, and as sure as a bong will turn water brown, lower prices will increase consumption. "This is simple economics, and it is confirmed by much research," says Brooks. That's bad, he says, because David Brooks couldn't handle his buzz during a high-school presentation once, and he still feels bad about that.
Quite apart from whether to make public policy based on David Brooks' sniggering teenage high jinx, there are serious problems with his social science.
Statements like "this is simple economics," usually obviate that actually, "this is simple sociology." Brooks is absolutely right about the economics. But the economics assumes agents with fixed preferences. Now that's a powerful assumption that predicts a lot of behavior, because indeed, our preferences are pretty stable, day on day. But when the tectonic plates in cultures shift, as during a drug prohibition vote, economics is a less useful tool.
Brooks does understand the sociological dimension some. He addresses it in saying that, "laws profoundly mold culture." That point is often under-appreciated, and we should appreciate Brooks making it. People like to say that we shouldn't legislate morality. But morality is more than half of the action in any law. A law conveys to person A, that people B through Z, also believe in that law. Person A thus feels compelled to follow it when The Law isn't looking.
Brooks is right about how laws work; he's just got his prediction backwards. The law will change, weed will become more socially acceptable, and that's precisely why consumption will fall. Lots of weed heads are out smoking pot right now to stick it to their parents, to their teachers, and to other authorities. In the Netherlands, where weed has been legal since the 1970s, teenagers consume somewhere between half and a third of the amount that American teenagers do. As its minister of health has said, "we succeeded in making pot boring."
Advocates for legal weed haven't forgotten about America's children. They are behind the policy most likely to keep children away from drugs. And even in the (imaginary) case that legal weed did boost use for kids, it is a strange ethics to trade off the demolition of the black and brown community, for keeping a handful of white kids from getting high before chemistry.
Drug law reform advocates have been making these points for a very long time. Among other whoopsies, drug laws have come down hardest on black and brown people, and they have increased use for kids. The data are in. We have confident predictions from sociology and economics to know what legalization will look like. It's time to legislate us some morality in a defensible direction, and end the war on drugs. Even a growing number of police, judges, and DAs agree.
