Release Date
Celebrate the 150th anniversary of the Civil War and Emancipation Proclamation with a fascinating program about Mary Bowser, a Union spy who posed as a slave in the Confederate White House. Lois Leveen, author of THE SECRETS OF MARY BOWSER (HarperCollins/William Morrow 2012) will appear at the African American Museum and Library in Oakland (AAMLO) on Saturday, July 28 at 2pm. Ms. Leveen, an award-winning author, will share insights about America's most contested history.
"Thanks in large part to the film Glory, the contributions of black soldiers during the Civil War have become well known. Now we can learn about the incredible role one African American woman played in the war - a role that took her to the very heart of the Confederacy," says Leveen, who recently published new historical findings about Bowser in The New York Times.
Leveen adds: "Audiences around the country have been amazed to learn about [Mary Boswer's] espionage. We all have causes we care about - but what would it mean to make the kind of choices Bowser made, and to live with violence, displacement, and danger as a result?"
The AAMLO program will provide Bay Area residents an opportunity to reflect on how to commemorate the 150th anniversary of the war. Because the 100th anniversary of the Civil War coincided with the Civil Rights movement, there were some highly contentious differences about how to remember the root causes of the war, especially slavery. Fifty years later, Americans are more committed to understanding African American history as part of our national history, and to celebrate the roles blacks played in ending slavery.
About Lois Leveen: Award-winning author Lois Leveen earned degrees in history and literature from Harvard, the University of Southern California, and UCLA, and taught at UCLA and at Reed College. She is a regular contributer to Disunion, the New York Times coverage of the sesquicentennial of the Civil War, and gives talks about American history and social justice throughout the country. Her novel, THE SECRETS OF MARY BOWSER, incorporates extensive historical research to give voice to this courageous but little-known spy.

If My servants ask you about Me, I am near. I answer the call of the caller when he calls on Me. They should, therefore, respond to Me and believe in Me so that, hopefully, they will be rightly guided. (Surat al-Baqara, 186)
Your Lord says: "Call on Me, and I will answer you. Those who are too proud to worship Me will enter Hell abject." (Surah Ghafir, 60)
We will certainly help Our messengers and those who believe both in the life of this world and on the Day the witnesses appear. (Surah Ghafir, 51)
And Ayyub, when he called out to his Lord: "Great harm has afflicted me, and You are the Most Merciful of the merciful," We responded to him, removed the harm that was afflicting him, and restored his family to him, and the same again with them, as a mercy direct from Us and a Reminder to all worshippers. (Surat al-Anbiya', 83-84)
And Zakariyya, when he called out to his Lord: "My Lord, do not leave me on my own, though You are the Best of Inheritors." We responded to him and gave him Yahya, restoring for him his wife's fertility. They outdid one another in good actions, calling out to Us in yearning and in awe, and humbling themselves to Us. (Surat al-Anbiya', 89-90)
Nuh called out to Us, and what an excellent Responder We are. We rescued him and his family from the terrible plight, and made his descendants the survivors (Surat as-Saffat, 75-77)
He Who responds to the oppressed when they call on Him and removes their distress, and has appointed you as inheritors of the land. Is there another deity besides Allah? How little you pay heed! (Surat an-Naml, 62)

A bipartisan group of six former US ambassadors to the Holy See, it was reported two weeks ago, has joined together to support Mitt Romney as presidential candidate and is now calling on other Catholics to do the same.
The former ambassadors said that despite their own political differences, they all believe that Mitt Romney "can be a great force for good in this nation". All Catholics, they said, are "called to advance the moral teachings of Christianity in the life of our country… Where the stakes are highest – in the defence of life, liberty, and human dignity – we have a duty to act that is greater and more urgent than allegiance to any political party … our concerns lie with fundamental rights, beginning with religious liberty."
What they were saying, in effect, was that Catholics should vote for Romney because he is not Obama: the Obama administration, they said "has brought our first freedom under direct assault by imposing government mandates that completely disregard religious conscience", because of the requirement imposed by "Obamacare" forcing employers to offer health insurance that covers contraception, sterilisation and abortifacient drugs.
Not only that: "the current administration", they said, "has now put its weight on the side of those who propose to redefine the meaning of marriage itself." Romney, however "stood firm in defending this sacred institution" during his time as governor of Massachusetts.
Now there is another reason for Catholics to vote for Romney: it's not simply that he says he will reverse the most objectionable features of Obamacare: he appears, in his choice of vice-presidential candidate — the outspoken pro-life Catholic Rep Paul Ryan of Wisconsin — to be making it clear that when he says he is pro-life, he actually means it. Not only that: he wants Catholic votes. He introduced Rep Ryan pointedly as "a faithful Catholic" who "believes in the worth and dignity of every human life". Unlike Governor Romney, the liberal media seems to be de-emphasising Ryan's Catholicism: according to one of these, the BBC, "correspondents say the selection of Mr Ryan appears to have reinvigorated the Republican campaign. But they caution that Mr Ryan is known for radical proposals to reform government social spending, including on health care programmes, that could prove deeply unpopular among some American voters". Traditionally, Catholics tend to vote for Democratic candidates: so Obama and his supporters will want to keep away from Catholic issues. But mainstream Catholics (I say nothing of the Pelosi tendency) will surely not only remember these issues, but consider them as central.
Austin Ruse, president of the Catholic Family & Human Rights Institute, and Cathy Ruse, a senior fellow at the Family Research Council, are reported as saying: "Governor Romney could not have chosen a better person to run with than Paul Ryan of Wisconsin. Ryan is not only 100 per cent pro-life, he is a full spectrum conservative and thoroughly unafraid in expressing conservative and pro-life views. We cannot wait to see him debate Vice-President Biden."
Me, too: Biden, of course, is one of the dodgy Catholics who are 100 per cent behind Obamacare with all its blatant disrespect for religious independence. He supports Roe v Wade and unhesitatingly backs gay marriage (at one time, the White House even told him to downplay this). In sharp contrast, Ryan is, as the Ruses put it, "a Catholic who takes his faith seriously": he is, they say, "perfectly situated" to defend religious freedom "in this season of easy anti-Catholicism".
The choice of Representative Ryan is also, incidentally, a neat way of sidelining the issue of Romney's Mormonism. Personally, I find Mormonism a creepy religion, and can't imagine why anyone would believe it. But then, that's what lots of people think about Catholicism. Cardinal Dolan had already dealt with the issue, when he said during a meeting of the Jewish Anti-Defamation League a couple of months ago that Catholics wouldn't have a problem voting for a Mormon in the White House; and nobody seems to have questioned that since he said it. The simple fact is that Catholics need someone to vote for who rejects the attack on religious independence implicit in the Obamacare legislation. Romney does; end of problem.
Many evangelicals still have problems with Romney's Mormonism. But even they, it seems, are beginning to see they have nowhere else to go. As Richard Land, president of the Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission of the Southern Baptist Convention, puts it: "One should never underestimate President Obama's unique ability to rally people behind his opponent. Whatever lingering doubts some evangelicals may have about Romney, or discomfort about his Mormon faith, they pale compared with their fears of a second Obama administration".
One final thought from across the pond: I envy American Catholics for being able to vote for someone who, if elected, will give them the possibility to opt out of funding a healthcare system which provides abortion and contraception. For all that I am, like most other English conservatives, a supporter of our own National Health Service — which many Americans think quite wrongly is a form of Communism, despite the fact that state-funded healthcare has never existed in any Communist country — I am painfully aware that my taxes (for our so-called National Insurance is nothing other than a form of general taxation) fund a system which provides, on demand, both contraception and abortion, even to underage girls, whose parents they do not inform.
That is an abomination, the possibility of which conservative Americans (unlike conservative Englishmen) still have a chance to vote against within their political system. In a democracy, we all have to take the rough with the smooth, of course. Most have a choice of two or at most three viable political parties within which a spectrum of sometimes opposing views exist (in England, at the next election, it will be down to two again; the Lib Dems will be wiped out, and good riddance).
There is a real dilemma for us. What is one to do, in this country, now? Both viable political parties believe in gay marriage, and abortion virtually on demand. What is one to do? Does one simply remove from the electoral equation issues on which there is cross-party agreement, and vote on the rest? I have always believed that one has an absolute moral obligation to exercise one's vote: but for whom, here, now? That's a non-rhetorical question; I am open to guidance.
Meanwhile, let us praise the land of the free, where such issues may still be voted on, and where a Catholic must now, surely, vote for Mitt Romney (who is, incidentally, a descendant of the great and splendid English portrait painter George Romney; that gets my vote, Mormon or not).

How to Write a Letter of Reference
An Introduction to Writing Reference Letters
The employment reference, or recommendation, has traditionally been considered an important part of the college recruiting process. Career services directors encourage, and in many cases require, that graduating students include reference letters in their credential/employment files as further documentation of their credentials, motivation, and overall employment skills. Employers, on the other hand, often review reference letters and conduct reference checks to verify a graduate's background and qualifications.
Until the early 1980s, employment references served their purpose relatively well. They tended to be candid and were sometimes painfully honest. However, in recent years, faculty, administrators, and employers have grown reluctant to provide frank information about their former students and employees, either verbally or in writing.
This reluctance stems from an increase in the number of lawsuits charging reference givers with slander and libel-even where accurate information was released to prospective employers. To combat the issue, 35 states passed "reference immunity laws" which protect prior employers when they provide "good faith" references to prospective employers. Unfortunately, these laws do not necessarily cover references from faculty or administrators unless they can be considered "prior" employers to the students for whom the references are given. These reference providers must rely on the defenses available to them under the common law.
At the same time, another trend has emerged. There has been a noticeable rise in the number of lawsuits against employers and referral agencies for hiring and referring candidates who were unfit for their jobs and who also harmed innocent third parties. Often, the basis of these negligent hiring and referral lawsuits is that the employer or agency failed to conduct a complete reference check on the candidate or misrepresented the qualifications and characteristics of the candidate. To complicate the issue further, this "negligence" results, in part, from fear of being sued by the job candidate or former employee on the grounds of invasion of privacy.
These two trends have created a new dilemma in employment law. Simply stated, how can employers conduct a thorough reference check when reference givers are increasingly apprehensive about providing candid reference information? This brief, Writing Reference Letters, outlines the law regarding references, gives tips on preparing references, and provides samples of reference letters and the types of information that may properly be released during a reference check.
In the final analysis, providing a reference requires a careful balancing act between giving and gathering useful reference information and protecting oneself from litigation.

What authorities said was an attack by Vitalii Sediuk on Brad Pitt on the red carpet of the "Maleficent" premiere in Hollywood obscured the larger point of Wednesday's proceedings: the premiere itself.
Hundreds of fans waited in 80-degree weather to catch a glimpse of Pitt and the film's star, Angelina Jolie, as they walked the carpet. But even as the premiere has grabbed headlines for the Sediuk incident -- in which police said the notorious celebrity prankster -- accosted Pitt, other stars gave interviews about the villainous themes of the film.
Directed by Robert Stromberg, the movie is an alternative take on the "Sleeping Beauty" myth, featuring Maleficent (Jolie) as the villain from "Sleeping Beauty" who puts a curse on Princess Aurora, the daughter of King Stefan, after Maleficent and the king have a falling out.
Elle Fanning, who plays Aurora, told reporters that growing up she feared the old witch in "Snow White."
"She was so ugly and the wart -- it was just very scary to me," she said, then noted of Jolie's performance, "[Good villains] I think are villains that don't yell too much, that are a little more quiet and have more mystery to them," she said. "I like that because it's more intriguing."
Sharlto Copley, who stars as Stefan, said he hooked "onto the idea of male ambition" and took that to an "extreme form" when tackling his role.
"You have to play it from the point of view that nobody does anything thinking that they are being a villain or thinking that they are doing anything bad," Copley said.
When writing "Maleficent," screenwriter Linda Woolverton said it was challenging penning a protagonist who is also a villain.
"You have to care about the protagonist, otherwise you're not going to be in the story or empathize in any way," said the writer, who also penned Disney classics "Beauty and the Beast" and "The Lion King." "I want to know why they are doing this; I want to almost feel sorry for them because I want to know exactly what turned them to be this to the world, to hate so much," she said.
Sam Riley, who plays Maleficent confidant Diaval, had a different take on the subject. When asked what made for a good villain, he simply said: "Cheekbones."

Jenni Hogan wants to change the way you interact with news — and the way it interacts with you.
With a vision for connectivity, communication, and entrepreneurship — not to mention more than 50,000 Twitter followers — the traffic reporter and Social7 creator is working with her KIRO news team to evolve the conversation between people and information.
"To change the entire television spectrum is going to take time, purely because of large corporations," says Hogan. "Unless someone just says: 'You know what, we are going to go for it, and we're not scared to fail' than that would be amazing. Just put it out there and see what happens, and we are going to make mistakes, but we are going to make mistakes with you guys, and if the bureaus would let that happen, that would be awesome."
What lessons has Hogan, an Australian who previously captained the University of Washington crew team to national titles, learned along the way? And what's she up to next?
Find out more in this episode of Nextcast.
- Hogan doesn't just want you to watch the news, she wants to have a conversation with you about the news. Turning the one-way, "outbound" communication of the news into a two-way interaction is what she's all about, and she loves the possibilities "Now, with your iPad you create the news. You can go to whatever source you want, and you can design your own newscast," she says. (2:11)
- On being authentic on social media: "I think it really has to be something you are passionate about. I think you can't fake it, or lie…. I have a personality who loves it, so it doesn't overwhelm me." (5:10)
- Keeping an open mind and being ready for anything is how Hogan innovates. Be ready for "things that come out of the blue" because that's where the game-changers are. "Be open to letting the community create what's next," she says. (9:30)
- On innovating at big companies: "I love being a serial entrepreneur, but I am in a large company. So, it has always confused me that I have this personality that is an entrepreneur, but saying out loud that I haven't quite worked out if that's the right thing to do…. I feel like I am an entrepreneur in my company." (10:30)
- Who is her hero? Anyone who can "jump." "People who are trying and failing; they're not secure, but they're following their dreams." A KIRO entrepreneur herself, Hogan says anyone trying to make something new happen (no matter what) is worth admiring. (17:14)
- On interacting with her audience. "My audience is everyday people," she says. (21:55)
- Hogan says she loves the possibilities of social media to connect everyone from celebrities to the everyday news viewer. Her goal? "Empowering people to give them a voice. If there's a way to use technology to empower people to have a platform, a lot of people have something great to add, but they don't have the spotlight," she says. (23:45)
Nextcast founder Jeff Dickey is passionate about technology, business and philosophy. He works as the chief cloud architect at Redapt, a Redmond-based cloud and big data infrastructure company. Additional reporting by Kate Stull. [Editor's note: GeekWire is proud to partner with Jeff Dickey who produces the Nextcast entrepreneur interview series].

Subrogation is when you file a claim with your insurer, the company can try to recover its costs from the person responsible for your injury or property damage.
For example:
- Your insurance company pays your doctor for your treatment following an auto accident that someone else caused.
- Legally, your company can seek reimbursement from the at-fault person, or his or her insurance company.
Recovering your deductible
If you paid a deductible, your company must include your deductible in its subrogation demand to the at-fault party.
If the accident investigation reveals that you're partially at fault, then you'll only recover a percentage of your deductible.
For example:
If you're 20 percent at fault for an accident, then you can only recover 80 percent of your deductible:
- Deductible you paid: $500
- Percentage you're at fault for accident: 20 percent
- Portion of deductible you can recover: $400
Your obligations to your insurer
During the subrogation process, your insurance company expects your full cooperation. You must notify your insurer in advance if you intend to agree to a settlement with the at-fault person or their insurance company. This ensures you don't risk your company's right to subrogation.
These obligations shouldn't interfere with your right to receive first consideration when it comes to receiving your benefits and full payment for the injury and damages you suffered.

The gel stained with SYBR® Safe stain was visualized on a blue-light box with light emission identical to that produced by the Safe Imager™ transilluminator (S37102). The ethidium bromide-stained gel was visualized using UV transillumination. Bands were excised at defined exposure times. DNA was purified from the gel fragments under identical conditions and used in parallel sub-cloning reactions. Following transformation into OneShot® TOP 10 chemically competent bacteria, three serial dilutions were plated and colonies counted using an Alpha Innotech imaging system. A plot of the experiment is shown here.
Figure 2. Use of SYBR® Safe Stain and the Safe Imager™ Transilluminator causes minimal DNA damage. Equivalent fractions of supercoiled DNA stained with SYBR® Safe DNA Gel Stain or ethidium bromide were exposed to blue light (Safe Imager™ Transilluminator, Invitrogen) (A) or UV light (B), respectively, for defined periods of time and evaluated by agarose electrophoresis.

You need time to recover from treatment and adapt to body changes, especially if they are permanent. Taking care of yourself and your body is important. It may help you develop a more positive body image.
Even if your body looks or feels different, you can feel good about it getting you through treatment. You may find you appreciate what it does for you every day.
Feeling good about yourself makes you more confident and self-accepting. It gives you an attractiveness that's about more than how you look. You may discover qualities you didn't know you had or find certain relationships are now closer.
Take time out regularly to do nice things for yourself so your body knows you appreciate it. This could just be having a relaxing bath, going for a massage, or spending time somewhere you find peaceful.
The suggestions below may help your confidence:
- Be kind to yourself.
- Spend time with people who support and encourage you.
- Write down the things you like about yourself and your appearance.
- When you see yourself in your mind, or in a mirror, look at yourself as a whole person. Don't focus on parts of your body you don't like.
- Try to replace negative thoughts about your body with positive thoughts.
- Make the most of your best features by using make-up or clothes to draw attention to them. Have your hair styled or keep it groomed.

Three principles guide our approach: Opportunity, Accountability and Integrity.
The holey dollar: a symbol of innovation
The global symbol of Macquarie Group, the holey dollar was Australia's first official currency and earliest example of financial innovation.
In 1813, Australia's most successful early leader, Governor Lachlan Macquarie, addressed a severe currency shortage by importing 40,000 Spanish silver dollars and punching a hole through the centre of them to create two unique coins.
The currency stimulated the economy while retaining its intrinsic value, with the two new coins – the holey dollar and the dump – worth 25 per cent more than the original. Two centuries later, Australia has evolved into one of the world's major financial centres.
Adopting the holey dollar as its symbol, along with the name of its creator, Macquarie Group embodies its pursuit of practical approaches with profitable outcomes.
More than two hundred years since its creation, the holey dollar remains a relevant symbol of financial innovation and, within the Macquarie business, inspires our best efforts to deliver new ideas and products for our clients.

No. 3 Women's Fencing Finishes Second at Ivy League Round-Robins
Jarocki was the lone competitor to go unbeaten over the weekend (photo courtesy Ivy Athletic Communications).
PROVIDENCE, R.I. - The No. 3 Harvard women's fencing team swept its field of competition on the final day of the Ivy League Round-Robins hosted at Brown's Olney-Margolies Athletic Center to finish the championships with a 5-1 record as the Crimson earned a second-place finish behind the nation's top-ranked Princeton.
Sabre fencer Adrienne Jarocki bolstered Harvard's (14-4) undefeated performance on Sunday. The freshman, who was the lone competitor to go unbeaten on the strip (18-0), was the first fencer in Harvard history to be named both Outstanding Performer and Outstanding Rookie Performer and the first to be honored as Outstanding Performer since Caroline Vloka '12 did so in 2011.
Six Crimson fencers garnered All-Ivy League honors, the most since matching that number in 2007. Jarocki was joined on the first-team by weapon mate, sophomore Aliya Itzkowitz who went 15-3. Co-captain Kara Lee, who rounds of the Crimson's sabre fencers, went 14-4 to garner second-team honors. Senior Alexandra Kiefer match her co-captains number to post Harvard's best record in the foil and earn herself a spot on the second-team. Sophomore Isabel DiTella and junior Emma Vaggo posted 13-5 records, respectively, to receiving an All-Ancient Eight second-team nod.
Harvard opened the day with a tough dual against fifth-ranked Columbia. The Crimson topped the Lions, 14-13. Harvard earned a 7-2 victory in the sabre, but the score was evened when Columbia posted an identical score to take the foil. With the match on the line, DiTella bested the Lions' Vivian Rand to earn the win for the Crimson.
The Crimson next took on Cornell. Harvard received strong productions for its sabre and epee divisions. The sabre squad was perfect on the strip while the Crimson's epeeist posted a 7-2 showing highlighted by Vaggo who didn't drop a match. In the foil, Kiefer went unbeaten to boast a 5-4 weapon record against the Big Red.
In its final match of the weekend, Harvard defeated Brown by a 17-10 margin. The Crimson epee team cruised to an 8-1 mark with Vaggo and junior Nina van Loon posting perfect 3-0 marks. Harvard's three foil fencers went 2-1 against the Bears. Jarocki kept her unbeaten record perfect earning victories in each of her bouts while Lee finished 2-1 against Brown to aid the sabre's 6-3 effort.
Harvard, a six-time Beanpot Champion, defends its title Wednesday, Feb. 12 at MIT.

Anyone who thinks they've got a family relationship that is beyond repair needs to consider the story Rita Cosby shares in her best-selling book, Quiet Hero.
It was Christmas Eve, 1983, when the future Emmy Award-winning journalist and best-selling author heard her mother, Adda, and father, Richard, having an argument. Richard told them he was unhappy and was leaving the family.
The devastating news came out of nowhere for 19-year-old Rita, her brother, and her mom. To make it worse, Richard conveyed complete emotional detachment about his decision and basically cut himself off from his family from that point on. Though Rita and her mother grew closer as a result, life was still difficult, especially when Adda Cosby was dying of cancer. Despite the unfairness of what was done to her, Adda continued to tell her daughter, "You must forgive your father. He went through some very difficult times."
As Rita explained to me on "Christopher Closeup," she had a feeling there was more to her father's past after seeing many scars on his body during a camping trip when she was eight. Though she asked her mother about them, her response was simply, "We don't talk about that."
After Adda passed away, Rita and her brother were going through her belongings when they came across an old leather suitcase they'd never seen before. Inside, they found a rusty POW tag emblazoned with the words "Stalag IV B," a red and white fighting armband covered with blood and dirt, and an identity card for a POW named Ryszard Kosobudzki. Rita's investigative journalist instincts kicked in and she realized that these items belonged to her father, who had immigrated to the United States from Poland and Americanized his name many years before. She also decided that, as a Christian, she had to forgive him.
Rita contacted her father, who was then in his eighties. He had watched her grow up through her television work on Fox News and "Inside Edition," but was happy to reconnect with her in person after years apart. Though she had every reason to act resentfully toward him, Rita approached him from a place of love, of wanting to genuinely know the whole story of her father's life.
Rita discovered that her father was 13 when World War II started in Poland in 1939 with the Nazis dropping bombs on Warsaw. The family tried to flee across the Romanian border, but then discovered the Russians were approaching Poland from that direction. Having been subjected to Russian brutality in the past, the family opted to take their chances with the Nazis. Richard soon joined the Polish resistance. Though he had an opportunity to be smuggled out of the country, he said, "I would rather die with friends than live with strangers."
Rita believes it was her father's mother who instilled him with this courage, faith and love of country. She says, "You weren't allowed to practice religion. The Nazis were prohibiting [people] from exhibiting religious tendencies. But my father's mother had a hidden altar in every single apartment they lived in, and every day got up and prayed. She said, 'The Lord is protecting us, the Lord is going to save Poland. We must stand up on principle.' That was the kind of home my father grew up in, and I think that's what gave him this courage to fight for something so much bigger than himself."
What Rita discovered next would shed a lot of light on her father's unemotional departure from his family when she was young. I'll share that story here tomorrow.

Tablets and smartphone may be forcing many users to get used to touch keyboards, but peripheral manufacturers still offer ways of adding a physical keyboard to such portable devices. Typically they take the form of a wired or wireless keyboard you connect when needed, but there's also a growing number of keyboards that double as cases for tablets.
The issue with such peripherals is they are bulky and usually only fit a specific model of tablet. Lenovo is trying to solve both those problems by developing a split design, folding handgrip keyboard that could fit any number of devices.
The handgrip keyboard design has been discovered in a patent filing the Chinese company made back in 2010, but wasn't made public until earlier this year. It consists of two keyboard sections that fold around a tablet to grip it. The keyboard sections communicate with the tablet wirelessly through Bluetooth or infrared, and they can therefore be positioned anywhere on a tablet's casing to suit the user's needs.
The key layout follows the QWERTY standard, but several different layouts are thought to have been developed. As the sections fold around the tablet, it's possible to have keys available on both the front and back. The user could even decide which way around to have the sections so as to put the keys underneath their fingers or thumbs when gripping the tablet.
There's no word on when or if Lenovo intends to release this concept to market, but it does come with a number of advantages over a typical tablet keyboard peripheral. The folding design means they won't take up much space in a bag when not in use. The wireless connection means they won't block a port and can be positioned depending on the tablet how you like to grip your device. It may also be possible to just use one so a combination of touch and key input is possible.

Vitalii Sediuk was sentenced to three years of probation and attend a year's worth of psychological counseling
The man who accosted Brad Pitt on a red carpet this pleaded no contest to battery in a Los Angeles courtroom Friday and was ordered to stay away from the actor and Hollywood red carpet events.
Vitalii Sediuk entered the plea during a court appearance Friday afternoon, two days after he leaped from a fan area and made contact with Pitt at the Maleficent premiere. He was sentenced to three years of probation and attend a year's worth of psychological counseling.
Sediuk, 25, was also ordered to stay away from Pitt's partner Angelina Jolie and stay 500 yards away from the Hollywood block where movie premieres and the Academy Awards are hosted. He was also ordered to stay away from LA Live, a downtown entertainment complex where Sediuk crashed the Grammy Awards in 2013.
Asked by PEOPLE why Sediuk did what he did, his attorney, Anthony Willoughby, replied: "He told me, 'I just saw Brad Pitt and thought, 'I'll make Angelina Jolie jealous.' … He hugged [Pitt] around the waist and security grabbed him. He didn't hit him – at least not intentionally. Something may have happened in the scuffle."
Sediuk, a former journalist for the Ukrainian television station 1+1 (which fired him roughly three weeks ago), was charged earlier Friday with four misdemeanors, including assault and two counts governing conduct at sporting and entertainment events. He also pleaded no contest to unlawful activity at a sporting or entertainment event and the remaining counts were dropped.
He has been jailed since Wednesday night and appeared in court in the sport coat and jeans he wore to the Maleficent premiere, which stars Jolie. He smiled at times during the hearing and politely answered questions from a judge. His hands remained cuffed for the hearing, and the right sleeve of his sport coat was ripped.
Sediuk was expected to be released from custody Friday afternoon. His attorney Anthony Willoughby said he expected the stay-away orders against his client to be lifted after a year if his client behaves.
Sediuk's antics have repeatedly brought him too close for comfort to Hollywood's elite. In 2011, Sediuk presented Madonna with a bouquet of hydrangeas at the 2011 Venice Film Festival, prompting the singer to express her disgust for the flowers. The following year, he attempted to kiss Will Smith on the mouth on a red carpet in Moscow, prompting a slap from the actor.
In 2013 he grabbed a microphone before Adele accepted a Grammy Award, which led to Sediuk's arrest. He later pleaded no contest to trespassing and earned him a three-year probation sentence.
He hugged Bradley Cooper's crotch earlier this year at the Screen Actors Guild Awards and streaked down a runway in a G-string at a show during February's Fashion Week in New York City. No charges were filed after either incident.

Title III, Part A, Strengthening Institutions Program Grant 2013
The Title III grant for $1.86 million awarded to Lake Superior State University is funded through the U.S. Department of Education's Strengthening Institutions Program. This Title III grant supports programs and resources to enhance faculty teaching and strengthen student advising. The U. S. Department of Education's grant to the university provides funds to improve and strengthen college and university academic quality, institutional management and fiscal stability, and to build a framework to help students complete their degrees.
Teaching and Advising through Learning and Sharing Knowledge (TALK)
Lake Superior State University (LSSU) is a four-year, comprehensive, undergraduate, public university, primarily serving students in the rural region of Northern Michigan. It is known as an institution with a strong emphasis on student learning. Dedicated faculty and staff provide a nurturing academic environment for our students. Our Learning Center provides support services recognized as statewide models. Our students have unique learning opportunities in- and out-of the classroom. We can track and respond to students not making adequate academic progress. Our challenge is to ensure we can provide excellent experience to all our students.
Key Overall Title III Goals for the Institution:
The university has developed the following key goals to address these challenges:
- Improve the success rates of LSSU's First Year Students
- Identify and remove policies and procedures that unnecessarily act as barriers to degree completion
- Improve cost efficiency in use of Learning Management System (LMS)
We propose five strategies for addressing these goals with Title III funding:
- A Faculty Center for Teaching (FCT) will provide faculty development in teaching and in advising.
- Advising support for students and faculty will be provided through development of better information resources and peer mentoring.
- A Student Learning Commons (SLC) will enhance learning and student engagement via peer-mentoring, access to technology, and opportunities for shared experiences.
- We will manage barriers via a systematic analysis of "momentum points" in students' progression towards degree completion. The resulting information will lead to modifications in policies and procedures that may be acting as unnecessary barriers to student success and provide additional data for advising.
- Enhance productivity and reduce costs per student served by converting from a proprietary LMS to an open-source system.
A thorough implementation plan and realistic budget is presented for reaching the Title III grant objectives and to ultimately increase retention and graduation rates while improving financial efficiency.
Performance indicators include increased retention rates, faculty involvement in Communities of Practice (COP), improved classroom technology, enhanced advising, increased access to peer mentors, more cost effective learning management system and increased graduation rates.
Measurable Objectives for the Institution:
- Increase retention of full-time FTIC students by six percent
- Increase faculty participation in COP to 50 percent
- Increase lecture rooms with updated technology by 50 percent
- Increase faculty who will have achieved local certification in teaching and/or advising by 30 percent
- Increase faculty using resources available through the FCT by 50 percent
- Increase 6 year graduation rate by 5 percent
- Increase percentage of faculty members using MAP-Works by 40 percent
- Increase first year students accessing on-line tutorials about academic planning by 55 percent
- Increase first year students working with a peer mentor by 22 percent
- Increase policies and procedures reviewed for their potential impact on degree completion by 80 percent
- Increase faculty use of an open source LMS in their classes by 100 percent
Specific Tasks and Methods Involved in Reaching the Title III Grant Objectives:
1. Establish a FCT to facilitate:
- Use of best practices for teaching especially student active learning techniques and use of technology to support student active learning
- Establishment of Faculty COP
- More effective approaches for advising including optimal use of new retention strategies
- Use of instructional technology to support student learning
- Discussions, seminars & workshops held on teaching and advising
- Acquiring of print/electronic resources available for faculty professional development
- Funding available for attending conferences
- Funding available for innovative practices through a mini-grant program
- Creation of internal certification program for faculty in the areas of enhancing student learning and in advising
2. Establish Enhanced First Year Advising Program:
- Provide increased student access to peer mentoring
- Increase student access to support for student active learning within their classes
- Enhance the physical location where students can access support services
3. Establish a SLC:
- Provide increased student access to peer mentoring
- Increase student access to support for student active learning within their classes
- Enhance the physical location where students can access support services
4. Manage Barriers:
- Staff in the Office for Advising, Retention and Orientation will facilitate an analysis of students' individual academic and personal needs, including momentum points in student progression to degree completion and review policy and procedures in terms of their potential impact on them
5. Convert to open-source LMS:
- Begin process of converting to an open-source LMS as we approach end of current license with Blackboard™

FAIRFIELD, Conn. -- FAIRFIELD, Conn. -- Listening to and creating music are not only fun hobbies and relaxing outlets, they can also positively affect mental health, boost the immune system, alleviate stress and improve mood, according to research. That's why Newport Academy, a teen treatment center with campuses in Bethlehem and Darien, offers adolescents an innovative music program.
"Music Therapy allows residents to write songs and listen to music in an effort to explore their creativity," said Kristin Wilson, director of clinical research at Newport Academy. "Music can help people cope with pain, which is vital for our residents as they work on their internal healing."
Behavioral experts at Newport Academy have observed first-hand what the research shows; Music can relieve symptoms of depression, improve resilience and performance in stressful situations and even induce a meditative state.
"Whether they're learning a specific instrument or attending class, teens learn to acknowledge and express their deep-rooted emotions through the use of music," said Wilson. "They learn to connect with one another as they make music together."
At Newport Academy, the focus is on resolving the underlying issues teens face. Counselors teach clients skills for building self-esteem and managing their emotions, so they don't resort or return to dangerous and unhealthy coping mechanisms.
Newport Academy has several locations throughout the United States, including residential programs, recovery day schools and outpatient programs for mental health and substance abuse.

I found this wonderful postcard at the Bargain House of Fleas in Jax. If I collected postcards, this would definitely be a keeper; I love hobo clowns. However, I would be more happy to reunite this postcard with any of Mrs. Yvonne Saucier's relatives who would appreciate it, or even relatives of the mysterious Helen.
The postcard reads:
Mrs. Yvonne SaucierI have been able to find out a couple of things about Yvonne Saucier, but more about the rest of her family. First I found one of her sister's obituaries stating her place of residence was 11 Fifth Street in Leominster, MA which is where the postcard was addressed.
Fifth St
Leominster, Mass
Hi Yvonne,
How's everything at
the shop? Oh how I
miss the place. Came
down here Wed. and

time. Naturally.
Will see you pretty

home Sat nite.

Grains rallied today after a friendly USDA Supply and demand report. December corn finished 25 ¼ cents higher at $6.58, November beans finished 11 ¼ cents higher at $13.58 ¼, and December wheat finished 31 ¼ cents higher at $7.05 ¼.The report was most friendly for corn with carryout coming in much lower than expectations for the 2011/2012 crop. First of all, they increased corn usage for Ethanol by 50 million bushels for 2010/2011, even though they are running behind pace on the weekly reports with only a few months left. We think this number is overstated by up to 150 million bushels. They did however lower Feed and Residual quite a bit so this year's carryout wasn't too far off from market estimates. However, for 2011/2012 corn usage for ethanol, they bumped that number up substantially. Blenders have had a huge financial incentive this year to blend ethanol and we still think the numbers are going to be towards a 4.9 billion bushel usage for this year. So increasing this number to 5.150 billion for next year seems overly optimistic in our opinion. So basically, what I am getting at here is that the numbers seem overly pessimistic for yield and overly optimistic for demand. From here on out, yield is going to be the biggest factor and that is still obviously most dependent weather. For now, we like buying corn calls on breaks, and selling corn into these rallies. Soybean volatility is still quite low so using long options can be a good way to protect these prices. We think soybeans and wheat could hold support over corn and we saw a glimpse of that in wheat's comeback today. Please call your broker if you have any questions.

Photo Gallery: Orange Rooms
Add zest to your space!
A classic klismos chair in bright orange complements an ornate Chippendale mirror.
HGTV star and Toronto designer Tommy Smythe updated this Victorian living room with a bold rug and solid jewel tones. The long settee already belonged to the homeowners, so Smythe had it reupholstered, then topped with fun throw pillows in trendy hues. A classic klismos chair in bright orange complements an ornate Chippendale mirror. "Given free rein, this what you'll get from me:" he says. "Strong colours, bold gestures and traditional references."
See Tommy Smythe's Victorian Makeover photo gallery for more photos of this home, plus watch Suzanne Dimma tour through the kitchen.
See more orange accents and rooms in our photo gallery.
Complement white furniture with a peachy tone.
This soft orange — Powdered Petals (200D-4) from Behr — makes a simple white Ikea armchair pop. Consider a peachy-orange like this in a small office, library or sitting room with white furniture.
A bright orange textured rubber floor is low maintenance and comfy underfoot.
Victoria Webster — here with sons Charlie and Isaac — went for a modern cooking space that requires minimal upkeep. The high-end, modern Bulthaup kitchen is stylish and much more forgiving than glossy or white cabinetry. Decorative white vases are kept high up on an open shelf, away from sticky fingers.

Crown moulding gives this space a classic look, while silver wallpaper on the ceiling reflects light.
Homeowner Victoria Webster had the walls of her dining room professionally painted in a high-gloss orange paint. It took 12 coats of paint and two coats of glaze to achieve the sheen!
Watch video tours of this house, plus get more decorating ideas in our Orange Rooms photo gallery and our Rooms With Jewel Tones photo gallery.
Make a collection stand out against a boldly painted feature wall.
Vancouver designer April Tidey's stencilled wall pattern, found in the kitchen sitting area, lends an exotic feel to this space. The tortoise shell and two types of coral came from an antique shop. On the couch sits April's lovable pug, guarding a quirky owl throw pillow.
See more pets in our Pets & Interiors photo gallery. Plus, see other photos of Tidey's cabin and loft and more orange rooms in our photo gallery.
A bowl of oranges, a striking Jacobsen Swan chair and a tangerine-coloured throw add vibrancy to an otherwise neutral colour palette of cream, brown and grey.
A vase of branches adds texture, while a Noguchi coffee table, a celebrated art print, and Arco floor lamp add design savvy. A soft shag rug pulls the look together and softens the deep tones of the hardwood floor.
Elegant antiques, a dramatic chandelier and a punchy wall colour create a one-of-a-kind space.
Orange lacquer adds the wow factor, while a careful mix of styles keeps the room chic. The mahogany and caned seats of the British Colonial Regency-back chairs show nicely against the taupe linen tablecloth, which conceals a hefty antique table. The cloth breaks up the dark wood in the room, making it more inviting, says designer Anne Hepfer.
For more chic interiors by Anne Hepfer, see our photo gallery, plus see more orange rooms in this photo gallery.
Show off intricate pieces against rich orange walls.
The antique marble-topped mahogany console and English folding table add weight to the room and display patterned ceramic jars, silver accents and white orchids.
Make a statement with Hermès orange.
This bright yet livable hue looks best in a flat finish. Crisp white trim keeps the palette fresh. And like the bolduc ribbon that's tied around every Herme?s box, chocolate brown furniture — in sumptuous fabrics such as velvet — offers a sophisticated finishing touch.
See more Colourful Contemporary Living Rooms in our photo gallery, plus more orange rooms.
This space has enough natural light to accommodate a deep colour.
This gorgeous wall colour — Brick Dust (6-19) by Pratt & Lambert — is the perfect shade for an accent wall. Architect Brian Kucharski painted one wall in his open-concept living room/office area in the rich hue for a bit of personality.
See more orange rooms in our photo gallery.
Update vintage furniture with bold paint colours.
Vintage furniture pieces can be instantly revitalized with some sanding and a few coats of paint. This secondhand dresser gets a new life and a contemporary look with eye-catching deep orange paint. Brightly patterned drapes from Urban Outfitters work well in the space.
See more orange rooms in our photo gallery.
Bright orange paint and white Ikea shelves keep this mudroom area chic and organized.
A shelf doubles as a bench, baskets keep clutter in check and artwork and pillows add graphic punch to this entryway.
Art, desk accessories and a throw pillow add punches of colour.
In Montreal artist Oorbee Roy's loft studio/office, teak furniture is an understated vintage-modern backdrop for bold accents.
Display vintage trays as art.
In this corner of their dining room, Lee Caswell and Blaise Gaetz transformed an array of traditionally functional objects into a striking wall installation. A vivid red-orange paint adds even more richness and drama.
See more orange rooms in our photo gallery.
Indulge your senses with bright colours and bold prints.
"Colour is something we all crave," says designer Anne Hepfer. Playing with pattern and scale, Hepfer added interest to this space with different textures and upholstery fabric. As a general rule, she sticks to smaller-scale prints for more delicate pieces of furniture and opts for hip, graphic details on pillows.
For more chic interiors by Anne Hepfer, see our photo gallery, plus see more orange rooms in this photo gallery.
Combine a daring colour with elegant fabric for an unexpected look.
Designer Anne Hepfer created these drapes with a slight scoop at the bottom to add "a ballgown-like feeling." She also opted for medium-weight interlining to prevent the shades from looking heavy or lumpy, and to allow natural light to glow through the silk. Black tapered legs on the chairs and upholstered bench unify this seating area.
For more chic interiors by Anne, see our photo gallery, plus see more orange rooms in this photo gallery.
Orange accents pay homage to the retro architecture of this home.
In this 1970s home on Calgary's Lake Bonavista, floating wooden shelves incorporated into the fireplace's Pece limestone surround create an asymmetry that is very mid-century modern. Designer James McIntyre chose a Nuevo floor lamp and bright orange sofas to go along with the theme.

Colorado seniors Mills, Gamble to say good-bye to Coors Events Center
BOULDER — During player introductions prior to the Colorado men's basketball game Saturday night (7 p.m., ESPN) against fourth-ranked Arizona, CU will honor its two seniors.
Reserve center Ben Mills and walkon guard Beau Gamble will play in their final home game.
"I saw a video that a kid had made pumping up everybody for the Arizona game, and I actually shed a tear," said Gamble, who played high school ball at Boulder Fairview. "I can't believe this will be my last home game. It's pretty surreal."
