A.L.S. Jan. 14th [c. 1865-1878]. R.E.G. [Roxana Chapin Gerdine] to �Dear Sister� [Emily McKinstry Chapin]. West Point, [MS]. 3pp.)
West Point Jan 14th)
Dear Sister
I rec�d yours of the 2nd Jan a few days since and hasten to reply. About the business matters of which you spoke. I know nothing in the world and wish you and William to use your own judgment about the division. I will be satisfied with whatever you do. You spoke of Lucy�s (D. bills). I spent about fifty dollars for her traveling expenses from Richmond physicians prescription about twenty five or over expenses of burial about thirty now I do not wish any thing said about it, without it will be to your advantage. If you think best, deduct whatever you and William think proper and put the avails away for your children. I do not care for any of it. The portion that falls to me I would not take out at all from the estate if Mother had done like any body else but the way she has managed to deceive Father and send supplies to Cornelia has disgusted me. Furthermore she is as able to work as any of us and I do not think it any charity to assist her."
I think if the land is divided and William wants the land he had better keep mine too. If the land is sold, and the money divided I will take mine and get him a Monument or use it [illegible] for us as it will go in putting our lot in order at the grave yard.
Tell William what I say about the business. He may

Machine Speak: Robot Baby Learns Words
Jun 19, 2012 11:39 AM PT
It's a cute little robot learning how to say "green" and "blue." And as part of a major project undertaken by robotics researchers at the University of Hertfordshire, it's also promising to transform perceptions of how robots -- and humans -- learn language.
DeeChee, which is built to look, act and learn like a 6-to-14-month-old child, is the subject of a report recently published in PLoS ONE by Caroline Lyon, Chrystopher L. Nehaniv and Joe Saunders, researchers with Hertfordshire's Adaptive Systems Research Group.
DeeChee is designed on the open source iCub platform, which is available for anyone to create similar robots for a variety of types of research, including language acquisition.
iCubs are designed to appear like human children, based on the notion that the appearance of a robot affects how people interact with it. Their design also draws on the "embodied cognition hypothesis," meaning that the robot's own perceptions and development depend, in part, on its embodiment in humanoid form.
Emerging Words
DeeChee was programmed with basic sounds and a learning algorithm, approximating the capabilities and hard-wiring of a human baby. It was then subjected to intensive language training and tests, and over time it appears to have learned some basic words.
"The advent of humanoid robots has enabled a new approach to investigating the acquisition of language, and we report on the development of robots able to acquire rudimentary linguistic skills," the researchers noted.
"In our experiments some salient one-syllable word forms are learnt by a humanoid robot in real-time interactions with naive participants. Words emerge from random syllabic babble through a learning process based on a dialogue between the robot and the human participant, whose speech is perceived by the robot as a stream of phonemes," they explained.
The robot has made significant progress in acquiring, learning and speaking words, the team reported.
"Word forms are usually produced by the robot after a few minutes of dialogue, employing a simple, real-time, frequency dependent mechanism," they wrote. "This work shows the potential of human-robot interaction systems in studies of the dynamics of early language acquisition."
This research might, in fact, reveal as much about humans as it does about robots, according to Chris Robson, chief scientist with Parametric Marketing.
"There's always a tension in artificial intelligence and robotics about how much we as the programmers teach up front, and how much we leave up to learning," Robson told TechNewsWorld.
"What's interesting about this research is that they've gone back to the very foundations of language development," he explained. "That's interesting both from the point of view of artificial intelligence and robotics, and also from the perspective of understanding human development. Outside of robotics, this might help us to understand how we as humans learn -- how much is preprogrammed and how much is learned. It's a very brave and fascinating approach."
Real Language?
This research is part of a contemporary movement that recognizes language acquisition does not occur in a void, but in the real world with embodied creatures -- whether they're humans or robots, said Yaki Dunietz, president of Ai Research.
"In the past, most research in automated language acquisition was done with computer software -- there was no need for a physical counterpart to the logical learning machine," Dunietz told TechNewsWorld.
"Robotics projects, on the other hand, focused on the physical aspects: vision, motor control, etc. The iTalk program merges the two together: It tries to teach a physical robot to use natural language," he explained.
"It is unclear why iCub should do any better than a non-physical counterpart -- i.e., a software program designed to engage in conversation with a human trainer, and learn from him to speak in a manner similar to language acquisition by infants," noted Dunietz. "It will be interesting to see how a bot who also possesses a physical body learns to speak better than a bodiless one."
Is it really language, however, that DeeChee is learning? Or is it just rote repetition of sounds?
"It is definitely learning some language," said Dunietz.
"The question is how much language is being learned. If the robot learns to respond to a certain input with a certain output, it has already learned some language. But computers have learned some (human) language from the day they were conceived," he pointed out.
"The question is, of course, whether it shall pass the Turing Test: Whether it can converse, in plain English, with a native-English speaker, so that this competent speaker will grade the conversation as indistinguishable from that of a human," Dunietz concluded.
Although this study is regarded as a step forward in ongoing language acquisition and robotics research, much remains to be done in the field.
"It seems that some learning was achieved, although the authors discuss many limitations," Paola Escudero, senior lecturer at the MARCS Institute and visiting professor at the brain and cognition research program at the University of Amsterdam, told TechNewsWorld.
"I think it is a good first step, but the authors need to incorporate more important empirical findings to their models for their robot to perform more like a real infant/child," Escudero said.
The gold standard is the acquisition of natural language that reflects true intelligence, according to Dunietz, and research like this brings humans ever closer to that goal.
"When computers are able to speak in a natural language, in a way indistinguishable to humans, that would be the final stage of a new, non-biological artificial life-form," he said. "If Alan Turing was right in placing 'intelligence' or 'rationality' in the ability to hold a human-like conversation, then we are a step away from these new creatures: robots, or as I prefer to call them, 'virtual personalities.'"

Updated from 5:44 p.m ET to reflect additional detail quarterly share repurchase numbers and to include CFO comment
) --
(AAPL) - Get Report
has completed one of the biggest share repurchases in U.S. corporate history, after buying back about $16 billion in shares during its fiscal third quarter.
Apple's buybacks come after the popular iPhone and iPad maker heeded the calls of stockholders, most notably
David Einhorn of Greenlight Capital
, to return some the company's cash stockpile to investors.
In April, Apple
it would increase its quarterly dividend to $3.05 a share as part of a plan to return $100 billion in cash to investors by the
end of 2015
The company then launched a record
to finance buybacks and dividend increases, in a move that was applauded by investors such as Einhorn of Greenlight Capital.
Apple's near $16 billion in fiscal third quarter share buybacks is just less than the cash the company raised in its blockbuster debt offering, according to
data. Meanwhile, Apple also said it would pay out a $3.05 a share quarterly dividend on August 15.
"We generated $7.8 billion in cash flow from operations during the quarter and are pleased to have returned $18.8 billion in cash to shareholders through dividends and share repurchases," said Peter Oppenheimer, Apple's CFO
As a result of rising dividend payouts and share buybacks, Apple's cash stockpile only grew slightly in the quarter, even as the company's top and bottom line earnings beat Wall Street expectations.
Apple earned $7.47 per share on $35.3 billion in revenue for its fiscal third-quarter. Analysts polled by
Thomson Reuters
were expecting $7.32 per share in earnings on $35.01 billion in sales. The company reported net income of $6.9 billion.
During the quarter, Apple sold 31.2 million iPhones, up from 26 million a year earlier. The company sold 14.6 million iPads during the quarter, compared to 17 million in the year-ago quarter, and sold 3.8 million Macs during the quarter, down from from 4 million in the year-ago quarter.
Gross margins during the quarter were 36.9%, down from 42.8% in the year-ago quarter.
"We are especially proud of our record June quarter iPhone sales of over 31 million and the strong growth in revenue from iTunes, Software and Services," said Tim Cook, Apple's CEO.
For the fiscal fourth-quarter, Apple expects revenue to be between $34 billion and $37 billion, with gross margins between 36% and 37%. It expects operating expenses to be between $3.9 billion and $3.95 billion.
Shares of Apple traded higher in extended-hours trading, rising nearly 5% to $437.74.

March 5, 2014
Visitors to three north coast beaches designated as snowy plover management areas will be making some changes to aid in the recovery of the western snowy plover, a small shorebird native to the Oregon coast. The bird is protected under state law and under the federal Endangered Species Act (ESA). The three areas are the Clatsop Spit along the Columbia River South Jetty, Necanicum Spit, adjacent to the town of Gearhart in Clatsop County, and Nehalem Spit in Tillamook County. Maps of the area can be found here: bit.ly/wsplover. The seasonal restrictions require dogs to be leashed during the plover nesting season, March 15 to July 15. Driving on the beach, which is already prohibited on the Nehalem and Necanicum Spits, will also be prohibited on a short stretch of Clatsop Spit east of the Columbia River South Jetty. Driving to the popular fishing spot known locally as "Fishermen's Beach" on Clatsop Spit will still be permitted. The restrictions were voluntary in 2013, but are now requirements. "Balancing public recreation with natural resource conservation is part of OPRD's mission," said Chris Havel, Oregon Parks and Recreation (OPRD) Associate Director of Communications. "Sometimes it's not easy, but Oregonians have shown us time and time again that they understand and value both parts of that mission." "We welcome dogs and their people on just about every beach in Oregon, all year long. The only exception is that dogs are not allowed during nesting season where plovers are actually known to be nesting," Havel continued. In Oregon, nesting plovers are usually found from southern Lane County to southern Coos County beaches, where recreation restrictions are well established. No plovers currently nest on the north coast. Snowy plover management areas are part of a coast-wide recovery agreement called the Habitat Conservation Plan (HCP), finalized in 2010 after years of public comment and analysis. The HCP is a legal agreement between OPRD, which is responsible for managing recreation on Oregon's ocean shore, and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), which oversees the ESA and thus the status of the western snowy plover. The HCP enables OPRD to have a say in how beaches are managed for both recreation and plover habitat. Without the HCP, OPRD could be assessed serious penalties, including beach closures, if plovers were harmed on the ocean shore, even accidentally. Clatsop Spit is managed by OPRD, and leased from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. The eastern section of this river beach is popular with anglers, and cooperative efforts between OPRD, USFWS, and USACE focused on retaining recreation while promoting plover recovery. At the Necanicum site, OPRD has been working with the City of Gearhart and a team of Americorps volunteers to build a new trail that redirects the many "unofficial" trails that currently spill out onto the beach. The new trail will join up with an existing fire access road and will exit onto the beach just north of the management area. OPRD is installing new wayfinding signs this spring. The Nehalem Spit site is part of Nehalem Bay State Park, and restrictions will begin a quarter mile south of the horse concession area of the park, running to the southernmost tip of the spit. The HCP sets out designated recovery spots, called management areas, based on a variety of factors that include suitability of habitat, known breeding areas, population surveys, proximity to other recreation areas, and a host of other considerations. In Oregon, snowy plover breeding areas, called occupied sites, are concentrated along the south coast, near Bandon. The three north coast sites have the potential to attract breeding plovers, which could strengthen the much smaller plover population along the Washington coast. In total, about 50 miles of Oregon's 362 mile shoreline have been identified as a recovery location.

Colorful & Stylish Family Home
A purposefully designed home with a bold personality
- « prev
- next »
- 1 of 25
It's bath time at the Morfit house. But 2-year-old Bea and Harry, 4, have escaped—for the moment. Half-clothed, they're engaged in a game of follow-the-leader—going round and round on the tufted velvet sociable that anchors the entrance hall of the San Francisco Edwardian they share with their parents, Anna and Mason Morfit, and Teddy, their baby brother. Their high jinks take the stately piece of furniture down a notch. Because that's how it goes in this family home. Within a classic framework, everything's fun and games. At least until their parents swoop up the laughing children to face the music.
Bold color, cheerful patterns, and inventive details infuse this house with youthful vitality. "Everything was purposefully designed to suit our lifestyle, which is not always tidy," Anna says. "The house is elegant but not precious."
Within the tree-lined streets of their Presidio Heights neighborhood, it's rare to find a home that hasn't been renovated within an inch of its life. But Anna and Mason wanted something in disrepair—a project they could make their own.
"This house, built in 1900, was the dog of the neighborhood," says Robert Stiles, the project architect. "Even though someone lived there, it looked totally abandoned." Anna recalls trees growing in the kitchen and pigeons nesting in the roof.
Anna brought in interior designer Melissa Warner of the firm Massucco Warner Miller, a triumvirate with offices in San Francisco, L.A., and Seattle. Warner had helped Anna and Mason before, so she understood their vision—and shared it. "Everyone wanted the best for Anna and Mason," she says, "and it shows."
While keeping the footprint intact, the team reconfigured the interior, creating rooms with elegant proportions appropriate to the house's scale and reinventing long-gone architectural details. They opened up the rear half of the main floor to create a casual space that includes a kitchen, breakfast nook, and cozy sitting area. Plus, they installed new windows and re-clad the exterior. Amazingly, it's so much in keeping with the neighborhood that it looks as though they did nothing at all.
Anna was on site almost every day, answering questions. "We didn't want to get held up for 12 weeks at a time waiting for a specific tile," she explains. Her decisiveness helped move the project along quickly. And as an avid reader of design books and magazines, she always had a few visual references to help explain what she was after. "I'm a little spoiled," Stiles says. "She's very good at communicating what she wants."
And what is that? "I started out wanting everything," Anna laughs. "But we scaled back—eventually." High ceilings on the main floor give way to lower ones upstairs. Correspondingly, crown moldings and baseboards get smaller and less elaborate, as would have been the case when the house was built.
Warner's lighting, hardware, and fabric choices are not quite as fancy elsewhere as on the main floor. Cabinet- and curtain-makers with more basic skills—and lower fees—were assigned to less complicated tasks. This is not to say the Morfits didn't splurge or that the project wasn't ambitious, only that quality was maintained while keeping the budget in check. For instance, the couple decided to forgo the luxury of central air, an eco-sound decision many residents make in San Francisco, where summers are mild.
Painting the entry and hallways a continuous tone was also a way to contain costs. More important, the neutral core allowed the team to indulge in the saturated palettes that bring this house to life. Creating restrained transitions meant they could go for intense color in individual rooms.
"Anna has great style, and she's not afraid to commit to bold color," Warner says. "The overall aesthetic is traditional, but that doesn't have to mean formal if you use a youthful palette." The pair already had a vivid base in place for the living room. Anna still loved her fuchsia velvet armchairs and chocolate sofa. But she was ready for a more sophisticated backdrop than the bright yellow painted walls they used last time. Choosing a rich yellow-orange for the walls felt more grown-up—but still spirited—as did long caramel silk curtains.
They proceeded through the house methodically—room by room. The process, while efficient, contained a healthy dose of playfulness. Anna usually had one element her heart was set on. And her designer would build around it. "Melissa would drop packages in my mailbox with schemes for each room," Anna says. "I really looked forward to getting those goodie bags."
For the dining room, an emerald green wall covering from de Gournay held Anna in thrall. Its mouthwatering hues gave Warner license to make unpredictable choices, such as tangerine velvet on the vintage chairs.
Painting the moldings high-gloss gray—anything but neutral—grounds the room with refinement, repeated in gunmetal taffeta curtains and a leather-clad door studded with nails. The space glows with invitation and personality. "A formal dining room might be intimidating, but this one doesn't take itself too seriously," Warner explains. "The orange really helps."
The saturated color up front is balanced in the back half of the house with a light and airy space devoted to practical matters. "I love things to look nice, but with the family, we need function," Anna says. "Otherwise, you just can't be comfortable." While she does find velvet upholstery and Oriental rugs surprisingly durable, the kitchen and casual living area are heavy duty. The day the family moved in there was a big spill. ("Big!" recalls Anna.) Fortunately, the banquette's faux-ostrich textured vinyl wiped clean like a dream. And above the banquette hangs a new piece by a young artist Warner found on the street. "Oil paintings are surprisingly resistant to sticky fingers," she laughs. "Much better for a kitchen than works on paper!"
Bea and Harry's bedrooms are equally inviting—and adorable. "They're such little people, they don't need that much space," says Anna. Bea's built-in bed and shelves are shipshape. The turquoise, white, and watermelon scheme suits her now, but can grow with her. Navy-and-white stripes plus pumpkin-colored headboards give Harry's room its boyish punch.
The master suite is on the same floor, but feels like a world away. Here, the wallpaper's golden floral pattern sparkles like a new romance. Warner decided to marry its warmth with coral and cream for a scheme that's feminine but not girlish. And the designer complemented the wallpaper her client loved so much with two subtle tone-on-tone prints—an abstract wave-like pattern on the walls of the sitting area and a damask on the dressing room ceiling that echoes the fretwork on sliding pocket doors. That kind of attention to detail helps a project sing—and inspires client-designer rhapsodies of praise. "Melissa always adds an extra level of refinement and sophistication," says Anna. In turn, Warner maintains she's never had a client who loved to talk about trim so much. "Her interest allowed us to have fun with the details that give this house its special flair."
To top off the project—literally—Anna and Mason placed solar panels on their roof. (They do live in San Francisco, where composting is mandated by law.) Although the initial investment was hefty, the city, state, and energy company all offered tax credits and refunds. Not only have their energy bills dropped dramatically, but the Morfits are contributing to their children's future in a meaningful way. And isn't that what a family home is supposed to do?

From Surely you must be joking, Mr Feynman.
You blast off in a rocket which has a clock on board, and there's a clock on the ground. The idea is that you have to be back when the clock on the ground says one hour has passed. Now you want it so that when you come back, your clock is as far ahead as possible. According to Einstein, if you go very high, your clock will go faster, because the higher something is in a gravitational field, the faster its clock goes. But if you try to go too high, since you've only got an hour, you have to go so fast to get there that the speed slows your clock down. So you can't go too high. The question is, exactly what program of speed and height should you make so that you get the maximum time on your clock?
This assistant of Einstein worked on it for quite a bit before he realized that the answer is the real motion of matter. If you shoot something up in a normal way, so that the time it takes the shell to go up and come down is an hour, that's the correct motion. It's the fundamental principle of Einstein's gravity--that is, what's called the "proper time" is at a maximum for the actual curve.
How is this result proven?

Nothing frustrates many picture-book artists more than hearing people say that writing for children is "easier" than writing for adults. Maurice Sendak suggests why it isn't easier in these comments on the work of the great French-born American illustrator Tomi Ungerer (Moon Man), winner of the 1998 Hans Christian Andersen Award for illustration:
"Some adults look at [Ungerer's] work, then rush to drag out the bromide that explains how easy it is to make a picture book: 'Just a handful of sentences and a lot of blazing pictures.' These critics fail to see that a successful picture book is a visual poem."
Maurice Sendak in Caledcott & Co.: Notes on Books and Pictures (Farrar, Straus/Michael di Capua, 1990), by Maurice Sendak.
Comment by Janice Harayda:
Maurice Sendak is one of the few living picture-book artists who is also a great critic. Caldedott & Co. collects his reviews of books by or about authors or illustrators who include Edward Ardizzone, Randolph Caldecott, Walt Disney, Beatrix Potter, Margaret Wise Brown and Arthur Yorkinks and Richard Egielski. This book would help almost anyone gain a better understanding – and appreciation of – the gifts of the artists he considers.

BALTIMORE – The UMBC baseball team wraps up its five-game home stand on Thursday afternoon when the Retrievers host beltway rival Towson at Alumni Field at 3:300 p.m. The game was moved from Tuesday evening and Wednesday's scheduled game at UMES was cancelled.
Junior Shane Vlasic (Ashburn, Va./Broad Run) is scheduled to start Thursday's game against Towson The Tigers will send sophomore right-hander Joe Patton (3-2, 6.16 ERA) to the mound at Alumni Field. Vlasic (3-1, 4.94 ERA) has won each of his last two starts, shutting out Coppin State over six innings on April 16 and then limiting GW to two runs over six innings last Tuesday.
UMBC (13-21) had its seven-game win streak ended over the weekend as America East rival UMass Lowell came into Alumni Field and swept the three-game series. The Retrievers defeated George Washington last Tuesday, 8-2, behind a 4-for-4 effort from junior Jake Barnes (Annandale, Va./Annandale) which included the outfielder's first long ball of the year. Then on Wednesday, the Retriever offense collected nine hits and drew seven walk en route to a 6-5 win over Coppin State.
The Retrievers are 6-7 at home this season after dropping all three games to the River Hawks. With the win last Tuesday in Arlington, Va., UMBC improved to 6-12 on the road and has won each of its last five games away from Alumni Field.
Barnes' big day against GW propelled him to a .343 average in non-conference play this season, the highest average on the team. Freshman Hunter Dolshun (Warwick, N.Y./Warwick Valley) has also excelled mid-week and is hitting .340 in non-league games.
Towson (20-19) won the weekend opener, but lost the next two to James Madison to drop the three-game series and halt the Tigers' modest three-game winning streak. Peter Bowles leads the everyday players with a .301 batting average, and has driven in 28 runs, the second-highest total on the team. Kurt Wertz leads the Tigers with eight home runs this season and has knocked in a team-best 34 RBI.
The Tigers have played just 12 home games this season, posting a 6-3 record, while going 6-14 in road contests. Towson swept the home-and-home two-game series with UMBC last year and has won three straight to lead the all-time series, 47-35-1, which dates back to 1970, the Retrievers' fourth season as a collegiate program.
- The "Thank Jank" ceremony to honor former head coach John Jancuska, originally scheduled for Tuesday, April 29, has been moved to May 13 when the Retrievers host Georgetown.
- UMBC is 4-2 against in-state opponents this season (2-0 vs. Coppin State; 0-1 vs. Maryland; 1-0 vs. UMES; 1-1 vs. Navy).
- Five of UMBC's six home runs this season have come in non-conference play.
- The Retrievers are 7-5 when out-hitting or recording the same number of hits as the opponent.
- Sophomore Mark Esposito (.438), Dolshun (.414), junior Ryan Sliwak (.412) and sophomore Kevin Lachance (.412) are all hitting over .400 as the lead-off batter in an inning.

Combating Hate with a Young Adult Novel
Killian MacDonald, SOC/BA '17
Those books shaped my life…This really has been a passion project for me.
Killian MacDonald's forthcoming novel uses young adult literature as a platform for social change. While her narrative follows the same arcs of heroism, romance, and adventure that appear throughout the genre, her accompanying strategic plan-written for her interdisciplinary honors capstone-uses her communication skills to teach teens about Islamophobia and inspires them to stand up for each other and be activists in their own right.

The surf in Guatemala is lacking (mainly shore break.. and actually fairly dangerous due to the same). Check it out before you go there. I hear its better in El Salvador, parts of Nicaragua and obviously better in parts of Mexico. I think Ecuador or Peru might hold promise. If it were me, I'd check out parts of Mexico (seems easy to get a job) or head to Ecuador in the alternative. Mexico seems like the best way to go though, although I haven't worked there myself (just what I've heard). Central America doesn't seem ESL friendly. I work there, but not in ESL at the moment.

text: Working near the entrance of the Austin Children's Museum was a thing of pure joy. The kids wonder and excitement made me think of my own formative art experiences. Childhood is a time of realizing the power and magic of art. I was blessed by parents that encouraged my talents. How they found the time to recognize and support me, with seven other kids, has always left me grateful. This encouragement was reenforced by educators in elementary, jr. high, and high school. To this day I cannot type because Ms. Gerund (god bless her), at Johnston Junior High petitioned to allow me two semesters of freshman art. My birthdays were always filled with art supplies and books. I wanted to be an artist at an easel. That is what I saw in those kids eyes....mini me.

PORTSMOUTH — A local woman has been convicted and sentenced for stealing morphine that was supposed to go to an elderly nursing home patient.
Attorney General Michael A. Delaney announced Thursday that Nina Perez of Portsmouth was convicted and sentenced on Wednesday, Jan. 2, for possession of a controlled drug and abuse of a facility patient.
Perez, a former licensed practical nurse, pleaded guilty in Rockingham County Superior Court to one class B felony count of possession of a controlled drug and one misdemeanor count of abuse of facility patients.
In May of 2012, Perez, while working as a licensed practical nurse at The Edgewood Centre, a nursing home facility in Portsmouth, took a quantity of the controlled drug morphine that was prescribed for a resident and retained it for her own use.
Perez received a sentence of twelve months at the Rockingham County House of Corrections followed by two years of probation. Six months of the sentence was suspended for two years upon the condition of good behavior. Perez also received a sentence of two to five years at the New Hampshire State Prison and a $350 fine. The term of incarceration was suspended for three years upon the condition of good behavior.
The case was prosecuted by the Medicaid Fraud Control Unit, which investigates both health care provider fraud and allegations involving abuse and neglect of nursing home residents. Perez's nursing license has been revoked and she has been added to a federal database of individuals who are excluded from working in health care facilities for five year.
Delaney said, "My office will continue to investigate and vigorously prosecute caregivers who violate the trust placed with them by committing crimes of abuse upon the state's most vulnerable citizens."

Magdalena Kožená has had to withdraw from the role of Blanche in The Royal Opera's forthcoming production of Dialogues des Carmélites as she has found it no longer fits with her current vocal development.
The role will now be sung by British soprano Sally Matthews who has recently sung the role for Bavarian State Opera in Munich and in Vienna in 2008. A former member of The Royal Opera's Young Artists Programme, Sally made her debut with The Royal Opera in 2001 as Nannetta in Falstaff. Since leaving the Programme she has returned to sing Fiordiligi in Così fan tutte, Calisto in La Calisto and Anne Trulove in The Rake's Progress for the Company. Her other recent appearances include Countess Almaviva in Le nozze di Figaro for Glyndebourne Festival and Sophie in Der Rosenkavalier for Netherlands Opera.

Happy Monday Friends. I hope your week is off to a good start. After a pretty hectic few days, the weekend was all about having a little down time and serious relaxation. Thursday night I went to the grocery store and picked up containers of vanilla ice cream and fresh strawberries. I whipped up some delicious fresh strawberry milkshakes which were quickly devoured. The next day we finished off the strawberries on pancakes.
Then over the weekend I remembered one of my all-time favorite treats. And since I've been working so hard lately taking care of all sorts of things, I thought I deserved it. I put several scoops of vanilla ice cream in the blender then covered it with orange juice and blended that baby up.
Orange juice shakes, aka Sunshine Shakes, are just the best. Simple, refreshing, and oh so delicious.They are the perfect summer treat and so easy to make. I can't remember the last time I had an orange juice shake so obviously it's been far, far too long.
How about you? Are you a fan of Sunshine Shakes? Do you have a favorite comfort food milkshake?

Author Yaa Gyasi discusses her influences, her favorite thing about writing, and her biggest fear as an author.
About HOMEGOING
Ghana, eighteenth century: two half sisters are born into different villages, each unaware of the other. One will marry an Englishman and lead a life of comfort in the palatial rooms of the Cape Coast Castle. The other will be captured in a raid on her village, imprisoned in the very same castle, and sold into slavery.
Homegoing follows the parallel paths of these sisters and their descendants through eight generations: from the Gold Coast to the plantations of Mississippi, from the American Civil War to Jazz Age Harlem. Yaa Gyasi's extraordinary novel illuminates slavery's troubled legacy both for those who were taken and those who stayed—and shows how the memory of captivity has been inscribed on the soul of our nation.

The government shutdown is in its fourth day, but already lawmakers are shifting at least some of their attention to the debt limit, which will be reached Oct. 17.
House Speaker John A. Boehner has said he cannot get the votes necessary to raise the debt limit — and avoid a U.S. default — by the deadline without help from Democrats.
He indicated in a meeting with fellow Republicans on Thursday that conservative members of the party would be unlikely to support a shift from their current strategy of hammering away onObamacare to trying to use the debt limit to cajole Democrats into budgetary concessions.
"The speaker's trying to get a broad budget deal. Obamacare's just part of it," Rep. Charles Boustany Jr. (R-La.) told The Times. "We're going to try to get what we can, but we understand that's the president's legacy."
The debate over the shutdown was interrupted Thursday by a fatal car chase and shooting that put the Capitol on lockdown and sent lawmakers, congressional staff and tourists scrambling for safety.
Law enforcement officials later confirmed that the driver of the pursued car had been shot and killed outside the building. Soon after the lockdown ended, the legislators shifted their attention back to the shutdown stalemate.
Follow our live blog below for the latest updates on the shutdown, the debt limit and more.

With the SWAROVSKI OPTIK Birding Game you can virtually observe over 14,000 different birds. Travel with us to five birding spots: Rutland Water in the UK, Cape May and Corpus Christi in the USA, the Neusiedlersee in Austria, and Extremadura in Spain. Users can choose from one of three levels of difficulty (beginner, birder, or advanced). Click on the silhouettes of the birds and you will see a picture of a bird for you to identify. You can also upload your own bird pictures and make them part of the game.
For all bird and nature-lovers who want to improve their bird identification skills.
At the start of the game you can decide whether you want to play in German or English and download different locations.
When you select this mode, pictures of different birds from a range of species found in the installed birding spot are randomly generated. You have four choices; click on "Birdbook" to find out more about the pictures.
In game mode you can select different levels of difficulty and your preferred birding location. A 360°-panorama picture displays white silhouettes of various birds. When you click on a bird, a large picture of it appears. You are given a choice of answers.
This is where your results are analyzed, and if you register and log in you can also upload pictures and enter high scores.

Appreciate the Fact They Got Back to Me with Advice
Fund: Leapfrog Ventures
Posted by onthedot on 2010-09-04
I really appreciated the fact that Andy took the time to get back to me with feedback. Most VCs I've approached don't care enough to even respond, which I think is very unprofessional.
Andy let me know they don't do life sciences type investing, but also gave me some feedback about defending against competitors, which I found very helpful. It also showed his understanding of business, and I have incorporated the feedback into our investment summary.PRIVATE: Members Only
