I am studying the book Linear Algebra from Hoffman and Kunze. The authors make the following comment on page 281.
Although it is of limited practical use for computations, it is interesting to note that the Gram-Schmidt process may also be used to test for linear dependence.
I have two question on that comment:
1) Why should I study the Gram-Schmidt orthogonalization process?
2) Is there an example where the Gram-Schmidt orthogonalization process makes easier to prove that a set of vectors is linearly dependent instead of use another method? I've never proved that a subset of vectors was linearly independent by using the Gram-Schmidt orthogonalization process.
Maybe I did not understand what they are saying.

(CMT Offstage keeps a 24/7 watch on everything that's happening with country music artists behind the scenes and out of the spotlight.)
Let's all wish Little Big Town's Jimi Westbrook and Karen Fairchild a very happy seventh wedding anniversary on Friday (May 31) and breathe a sigh of relief that their solid marriage in real life isn't at all like the one they portray in their new video for "Your Side of the Bed." If you haven't seen it, prepare yourself to come face to face with the reality of a loveless kind of love. The couple told CMT Radio that kind of relationship is something every couple can relate to. "I think if you've been in any kind of long relationship you have felt this moment at some point," Fairchild said. Westbrook added. "You've just felt some kind of disconnect, and yet you're in the room with the person that you love. And you want to fix it, but sometimes you don't know how." To make the song even more heartbreaking, Fairchild and Westbrook sing it as a duet with lyrics like, "Aren't you even gonna make a sound/Turn the other way when I turn the lights down/Are you lonely like I'm lonely?" It's one of those great country songs that has a message. Not necessarily any answers, but there's definitely a message.

Had a good session on the new Naish Raven Yesterday. Comditions were shit, but the kite definately performed above expectations.
A very similar feel and concept to the X4, but much smoother and more managable. I found flying it on the backward positioned pigtails on the front lines really lightened up the sheeting and steering, I will be running them all on this setting. Power was excellent, great bottom end. equal to that of the X4, but much better top end, more stable and easier to get forward in the window. Turning speed is faster too. Flying speed is easier to control, the raven flies over sheeted nicely, so power and depth can be obtained with ease, but when sheeted out flies super fast. Leading edge and strut diametre are greatly reduced, making the kite lighter and faster. The octapus system rocks, for those of you that have used it in the torch, it really shows it's worth in a seven strut kite!
Bar and lines came straight out of the bag ready to ride, technically no adjustment needed (I shortened the chicken loop by half, because I don't like long loops).
Total package rocks! smashed it!

I always knew Louie Smarjesse was an exceptional guy. Now I have proof.
A few years ago, the federal Bureau of Labor released statistics showing the number of jobs held by people from the age of 18 until they hit 46. Most people, it says, have 11 different jobs.
Louie is way above average, having held somewhere around 40 jobs, give or take five or so. Starting in 1961, 53 years ago by my count, he has tended bar at 27 different taverns, lounges, steak houses, supper clubs and flat-out dives. Many of those places are gone.
Granted, at 81 years old, he is a ways past the Bureau of Labor�s standard of 18 to 46, but that�s still an impressive number. And those are just his bartending jobs.
�I sold cars, too,� he says. �I worked for the Chevy dealership three different times when it was on Stevenson. For a while, I worked for an insurance company.� And he adds with a laugh, �As a con man.�
A country song I like says Jesus and bartenders hear it all. In 53 years, Louie has heard, and seen, it all � guns pulled and fired, fists thrown, love found (sometimes for the right price), love lost and hundreds of characters from both sides of the law.
The following is a list of the places he has tended bar, including his current stint at Gabatoni�s at Third and Laurel (the second time he has worked there) and a few of the stories that go with them:
1. Milano�s, 405 E. Monroe, where the main post office is now. It was his first bartending job. He was hired by owner Joe Albanese, who had a wooden leg. Joe also worked at Allis Chalmers, then came to the bar after his shift ended late at night. First thing he did was see how many cigarette butts were on the floor. The more butts there were, the better night the bar had.
2. Abe Lincoln Hotel, Fifth and Capitol.
3. Mansion View (twice), on South Fourth. The place had a French motif, complete with a mural on the wall depicting a Parisian scene. The owner made Louis wear a beret. �I hated it,� he says. �And the waitress had this long cigarette holder.� I don�t think anyone was fooled into thinking they were in Paris. No one sober, anyway.
4. Illinois Executive Mansion, for a party thrown by then-Gov. Dan Walker. �Del Wilson got me that job. They had this big reception line, and Walker and other government people were shaking hands, greeting guests. Walker looks down the line, and there�s Del Wilson standing with the rest of the big shots, shaking hands and greeting guests. Walker says, �Who the hell is that guy?� He was told that was one of the bartenders. �Get him the hell out of here,� Walker shouted.
5. The Robin Hood on Wabash (site of the Barrel Head).
6. Par A Dice on MacArthur (site of Ross Isaac).
7. Village Pump, Indianapolis.
8. The Flaming Pit, Town and Country Shopping Center on MacArthur Boulevard.
9. Don Henry�s, Town and Country.
10. Harness House on Wabash. Owner was George Harness. One night, Louie worked while Count Basie and his orchestra played live.
11. Ideal Lounge, Spring and Cook.
12. Rosalie�s Place, Maple Avenue.
13. D&J�s, Maple Avenue.
14. DiCenso�s Black Angus on Wabash.
15. Blue Moon, Peoria Road (Louie was co-owner).
16. The Embers, Clear Lake and Dirksen (twice).
17. Sand Bar, Mechanicsburg Road. �They had a big picture window there that looked out on the horseshoe pits. I was looking out the window and these brothers were playing horseshoes and they get into a fight. I�m watching out the window and there�s a state cop in there. He says to me, �Louie, why don�t you go out there and break that up?� I said, �Why don�t you? You�re a cop!�� A couple of minutes after they got tired of punching each other, the brothers were hugging each other.
18. Griff�s Tavern on Melrose (owner).
19. Gabatoni�s (twice, presently on Wednesdays and Thursdays from 4 p.m. to 1 a.m.). A guy came in one night, pulled a gun on Louie and told him to empty the cash register. Louie opened it and gave the guy all the cash and change. Louie�s wife, Sue, points out that when Louie pulled out the cash drawer, it covered up his tip jar, so he was able to keep that. The guy made his getaway on a bicycle. Springfield police arrived within five minutes. The robber was never found.
20. George Rank�s, Sixth and Laurel.
21. Ben�s Place, Auburn (one night only).
22. Top of the Arch, Sixth and Ash.
23. Lake Club (part time).
24. Governor Hotel on East Jefferson.
25. Oak Crest Country Club
26. Crowne Plaza Hotel, South Dirksen (part time).
27. Supper Club, South Sixth near the Cozy Dog. Louie was the owner. He had a blind piano player named Donnie Ray. One evening, after playing at Nashville North in Taylorville, Charlie Pride came into the Supper Club. Louie had a little trouble convincing Donnie (who was blind, remember) that Charlie was actually in the club. But he eventually got it, and Charlie Pride consented to sing a few while Donnie accompanied him on piano. �Within a few minutes,� says Louie, �the phone rings. �Hey, is Charlie Pride there?� Yeah. Then it rang again. �Is Charlie Pride there?� Yes. Again. Again. And this was before cellphones. I don�t know how they all found out so fast.
�The place ended up so packed, the waitresses couldn�t move around to sell drinks. I ended up losing money!�
Those are only a few of Louie�s stories. But they are about the only ones I could safely print without getting sued.

MOBILE, Alabama (Reuters) – A major winter storm system swept through the southern United States on Tuesday, spawning tornadoes in several states and killing two people in weather-related road accidents.
The National Weather Service (NWS) said a tornado struck Mobile, Alabama, home to about 200,000 people, at about 5 p.m. local time (2300 GMT). There were reports of damage to trees and widespread power outages, along with some structural damage, but no injuries or fatalities.
Tornadoes also touched down in Mississippi, Texas and Louisiana, flattening houses and causing some injuries, according to the NWS.
The wild Christmas weather was expected to continue into early Wednesday – the NWS' Storm Prediction Center forecasted the development of "a few strong tornadoes and thunderstorm wind damage over parts of the southeast" this evening and overnight.
It warned that tornadoes at night at this time of year can be particularly dangerous because they are usually fast-moving and obscured by rain and darkness. Areas mostly likely to be hit by strong storms include southern and eastern Alabama, the Florida Panhandle and southwest Georgia, the NWS warned.
Tuesday's storms also contributed to a 21-vehicle pile-up that shut down a major highway in Oklahoma City and tens of thousands of power outages.
A Texas man died after an accident involving a tree in the road, and another person died in a weather-related accident on I-44 in Oklahoma, according to local authorities.
The storm was expected to evolve into a blizzard from Arkansas to southern Illinois on Tuesday night, with snowfall of up to a foot in some areas, according to Accuweather.com.
Accuweather.com senior meteorologist Kristina Pydynowski warned on the website that travel will be "extremely treacherous, if not impossible, as the snow clogs roads, such as interstates 24, 55 and 57, and the blowing snow severely lowers visibility."
The Indiana governor's office issued an advisory Tuesday evening that "non-essential employees" who live in areas where snow emergencies have been declared do not have to come to work.
The snowstorm will shift on Wednesday to the eastern Great Lakes and northeastern region, with a blizzard warning in effect for Cleveland starting at 7 a.m. on Wednesday (1200 GMT), forecasters said. Cleveland could get up to a foot of snow, according to the NWS.
Southern Indiana is under a blizzard warning starting early Wednesday morning, according to NWS meteorologist Crystal Pettet. Indianapolis could see its biggest snowfall in four years, with a possibility of 10 to 12 inches of snow.
"Conditions should be pretty bad in time for rush hour," Pettet said.
In the town of McNeill in southern Mississippi, an apparent tornado destroyed 12 homes and injured eight people, though none of the injuries appear life-threatening, said Danny Manley, director of the Pearl River County Emergency Management Agency.
Manley said the homes could not be rebuilt, as some had lost roofs and their top stories and one was smashed by a tree.
Another apparent tornado hit Centreville, Mississippi, in the southwestern part of the state, injuring one person, destroying a trailer and heavily damaging other homes and buildings, according to Tim Destri, a NWS meteorologist in New Orleans.
A tornado destroyed a building 13 miles southeast of Crockett, Texas, and a bank lost a section of its roof, according to Accuweather.com.
Freezing drizzle overnight led to 10 separate collisions on Interstate 40 in Oklahoma City early on Tuesday, said Betsy Randolph, a spokeswoman for the Oklahoma Highway Patrol. The city also got a rare Christmas snowfall.
The 21-vehicle pile-up included three tractor-trailers and shut down the westbound lanes for about five hours, she said. Twelve people were taken to hospitals, and troopers were checking on the severity of their injuries.
Ahead of the storm's path, parts of eastern West Virginia are under a winter storm warning. Ice accumulations of up to half an inch are expected in higher elevations, the NWS said.

There is a very brief window of opportunity, from Thursday, Feb. 16 to Tuesday, Feb. 21, 2012, to see the original Emancipation Proclamation on display at the Houston Museum of Natural Science. Currently the museum is hosting an exhibit on the Civil War, entitled Discovering the Civil War. This exhibit, organized by the National Archives of the United States, went on display in Washington, DC to commemorate the sesquicentennial of the start of the war. It is now touring and Houston is the third stop on the tour.
|Emancipation Proclamation at HMNS!
Thursday, Feb. 16 – Tuesday, Feb. 21 ONLY
9 am – 9 pm
The premise of the exhibit, aside from remembering the Civil War, is simple and straightforward.
Since 150 years have gone by, nobody alive today has any personal recollections of the war. The question then becomes: "Where would one go in order to learn more about the Civil War?" One of the most logical answers is to go to the enormous collection of Civil War materials stored at the National Archives. Anyone interested in this topic will be glad to know that extensive portions of the Archive's Civil War holdings are accessible online.
At the Houston venue, the topic of the Civil War is covered in three different ways, all part of one large exhibit. The largest footprint is taken up by the National Archives display. This is the traveling portion of the show, entitled Discovering the Civil War. One can see documents and photographs related to issues like the reasons for the war, raising an army, resigning one's commission, letters home, medical care (or lack thereof), and a copy of the Emancipation Proclamation. The other two sections do not travel and will be on display in Houston only.
Discovering the Front Line: Highlights from the Nau Civil War Collection takes the storyline into the realm of three dimensions. Here the visitor can see an extensive selection of uniforms, weapons, photographs, drawings, a very rare Confederate medal and other Civil War memorabilia from the John L. Nau collection. What struck me the most in this part of the exhibit is a display of a small Bible with a bullet hole in it. One can see the point of entry as well as the point of exit, on the side of the book. It is very likely that the owner survived being shot.
A small third component dedicated to the history of a Union warship, the USS Westfield, closes out the exhibit.
Originally a Staten Island ferry, the Westfield was acquired by the US Navy to serve in the West Gulf Blockading squadron. The ship took part in the attack on New Orleans, bombardment of the ports of Indianola and Port Lavaca ending up sinking on January 1, 1863 during hostilities blockading the port of Galveston.
The main portion of the exhibit, however, is the story of the Civil War as told through documents held at the National Archives. Within the array of documents, the one with the greatest historical importance would have to be the Emancipation Proclamation. Most visitors will get to see a copy; those who make it during the few days outlined above, will get to see the real thing.
While the Proclamation on display was signed on January 1, 1863, about six months earlier, in July 1862, President Lincoln read his "preliminary proclamation" to his Cabinet. On September 22, 1862, after the Union victory at Antietam, the President announced that if the rebels did not end the fighting and rejoin the Union by January 1, 1863, all slaves in the rebellious states would be free.
On December 30, 1862, work started on the final draft of the document.
The draft President Lincoln worked with on December 31 is considered the final draft. The principal parts of the document are written in the President's hand. This final draft also shows an early version of "cut and paste," as two paragraphs from the Preliminary Proclamation were clipped from a printed copy and pasted on to the final draft, in order to "save writing".
In the early afternoon of Thursday, January 1, 1863, President Lincoln signed the document and by late afternoon the document was ready for transmission to the press (including the Washington Evening Star) and others. By about 8 PM, the transmission of the text over the telegraph began. From this point forward, the Civil war had the dual purpose of preserving the Union and ending slavery.
The original Proclamation normally resides in the National Archives in Washington, DC. The document is five pages long; initially all of these pages were tied with narrow red and blue ribbons, which were attached to the signature page by a wafered impression of the seal of the United States. Most of the ribbons remain, as do parts of the seal.
|Emancipation Proclamation at HMNS!
Thursday, Feb. 16 – Tuesday, Feb. 21 ONLY
9 am – 9 pm
What exactly did the Emancipation Proclamation mean?
It is perhaps easier to say what it did not do: it did not end slavery in the nation. Specifically, it did not set free slaves in those areas where the United States could not enforce the Proclamation.
In other cases, local laws and decisions had already set some slaves free. New Mexico repealed its slave code in December 1861 (Foner, 2010: 204). In 1862 the District of Columbia freed the slaves within its jurisdiction; the Proclamation did not make a difference either way in the District either.
What the Proclamation did make possible was for "such persons of a suitable condition [to be] received into the armed service of the United States to garrison forts, positions, stations, and other places, and to man vessels of all sorts in said service".
President Lincoln recognized that it would take a Constitutional Amendment to abolish slavery.
This ended up being the Thirteenth Amendment. The Senate debated and passed this Amendment on April 8, 1864. The House of Representatives, however, initially rejected it. President Lincoln then took a more active role and suggested that the Republican Party include in its platform a plank calling for the abolition of slavery. The House of Representatives finally passed the Thirteenth Amendment on January 31, 1865. On February 1, 1865, President Abraham Lincoln signed a Joint Resolution submitting the proposed Amendment to the states. On December 18, 1865, Secretary of State William Seward issued a statement verifying the ratification of the 13th Amendment.
"It actually came to us."
When the document was displayed at the Henry Ford Museum, thousands of people lined up to come see it. What impressed a young visitor the most was this: "It actually came to us. That we did not have to go all the way to Washington DC to see it. It came to us."
I am sure that sentiment will be shared by our visitors – young and old – as they take in this historic document.

LGBT Travellers
The rainbow flag flies high in France, a country that left its closet long before many of its European neighbours. Laissez-faire perfectly sums up France's liberal attitude towards homosexuality and people's private lives in general; in part because of a long tradition of public tolerance towards unconventional lifestyles.
- Paris has been a thriving gay and lesbian centre since the late 1970s, and most major organisations are based there today.
- Bordeaux, Lille, Lyon, Montpellier, Toulouse and many other towns also have an active queer scene.
- Attitudes towards homosexuality tend to be more conservative in the countryside and villages.
- France's lesbian scene is less public than its gay male counterpart and is centred mainly on women's cafes and bars.
- Same-sex marriage has been legal in France since May 2013.
- Gay Pride marches are held in major French cities mid-May to early July.
- Damron (www.damron.com) Has published English-language travel guides since the 1960s, including Damron Women's Traveller for lesbians and Damron Men's Travel Guide for gays.
- Spartacus International Gay Guide (www.spartacusworld.com) A male-only guide to just about every country in the world, with more than 70 pages devoted to France, almost half of which cover Paris. There's a smartphone app too.

I had a harder time finding this pet than just about any other -- even the seasonal/time-based pets! There are very few in the area, and most of them are not battleable. Worse, there seems to phasing issues because often I will see one and it'll be gone by the time I land. Sometimes I could still target them, but they'd be invisible. I don't recall any quest phasing in this area, so perhaps it's just a weird bug.
These pets can be primary or secondaries, so if you can't find any rabbits in the snow-covered areas, you should head east to Strahnbrad and fight the rats there in hopes you cross one as a secondary. That's how I finally got one.

Roger & Judy Dilmore of Auburn Create Library Endowment Fund at Clarkson University
POTSDAM, NY (05/09/2012)(readMedia)-- Clarkson University alumnus Roger H. Dilmore and his wife, Judy M. Dilmore, of Auburn, N.Y., have provided a generous gift to create the Dilmore-Hartwell Family Library Endowment Fund at Clarkson University.
The Dilmores have dedicated the endowment "in loving memory of Roger's grandparents, Harlow H. and Sara C. Hartwell, and Edward K. and Laura E. Dilmore, and his parents, John E. and Helen H. Dilmore."
"Judy and I credit our success to the support of a strong family who taught us to live and learn by example, with pride and humility, strength and compassion, honor and patriotism," said Roger Dilmore.
The Dilmores established the endowment fund to support Clarkson's Harriett Call Burnap Memorial Library.
"We are grateful for the support of Mr. and Mrs. Dilmore and look forward to utilizing their generosity to enhance the library at Clarkson for years to come," said Michelle L. Young, director of the Clarkson Libraries.
Roger and Judy Dilmore have been steadfast in their lifelong support of Clarkson.
Roger, who graduated from Clarkson in 1968 with a bachelor of science degree in electrical engineering, has served as his class reunion activity chair, an alumni admission volunteer, and a member of the Alumni Council. As an undergraduate, he was a founding member of the Clarkson University Pep Band in 1964.
The Dilmores are the parents of Clarkson graduates Maj. Jonathan Dilmore '97 and Gregory Dilmore '00.
Clarkson University launches leaders into the global economy. One in five alumni already leads as a CEO, VP or equivalent senior executive of a company. Located just outside the Adirondack Park in Potsdam, N.Y., Clarkson is a nationally recognized research university for undergraduates with select graduate programs in signature areas of academic excellence directed toward the world's pressing issues. Through 50 rigorous programs of study in engineering, business, arts, sciences and health sciences, the entire learning-living community spans boundaries across disciplines, nations and cultures to build powers of observation, challenge the status quo, and connect discovery and engineering innovation with enterprise.

Claudine Humure had never flown in an airplane. Her flight to Boston from Rwanda was one of many firsts for the then-12-year-old. As the landscape changed below her, Claudine recognized that her life was changing in a bigger way.
"Everything was so new; I was in a new world or something, that's how I felt," she says. "It's like the world was changing and I was like looking at the world change and it kept changing and changing."
At the time Claudine had osteosarcoma, a bone cancer that typically afflicts children. The cancer was in her right tibia, the large bone below the knee, but doctors in her home country, Rwanda, didn't immediately recognize it. Claudine received treatment for infection.
"I had cancer, but there was nowhere I could be treated because I had already been to three different hospitals," she says. "By the time they found out that I had cancer, there was no way the leg could be saved."
Doctors in Rwanda amputated Claudine's right leg, but the cancer had already spread into her lungs. Doctors from Partners in Health (PIH), a Boston-based nonprofit organization, discovered Claudine, who was living in a Rwandan orphanage with her brother and sister. Recognizing the gravity of her situation, PIH recommended Claudine be sent to MassGeneral Hospital for Children (MGHfC).
Getting Better
Upon landing in Boston, Claudine was immediately admitted to MGHfC, where the next day she started treatment that continued for the following 11 months.
"I was ready to get better," Claudine remembers.
Claudine underwent a series of treatments, including a revision of her amputation. Orthopaedic oncology surgeon Kevin Raskin, MD, performed the surgery, adding more skin tissue to cover Claudine's bone so she would be able to use a prosthetic leg. Claudine's care team, led by hematology-oncology specialist David Ebb, MD, treated the cancer with eight months of chemotherapy and surgeon Daniel P. Ryan, MD, removed two cancerous nodules from her lungs in an advanced procedure known as a video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VAT).
"The care she needed wasn't available or would have been very difficult to get in Rwanda," Dr. Ebb says from his office, where a photo of him and Claudine hangs beside his desk. "Without the multidisciplinary care she got, she would've died."
Many people rallied around Claudine to ensure her recovery. Ebb adds, "Multidisciplinary care was much more than chemotherapy and surgery—it is all the people who took care of her and helped her."
While Claudine adjusted to rigorous cancer treatment, she also learned to communicate in English, through a combination of sign language, a cheat sheet of written translations and time spent with the O'Flahertys, the South Boston family who hosted Claudine.
"She was so sick," says Catherine O'Flaherty, who with her husband and children became family to Claudine. "I took care of her, we took her through surgeries, chemo— the kid ran the gamut and no matter where we turned at Mass General, people were incredible."
O'Flaherty remembers telling Dr. Ebb that Claudine needed crutches: "He got up, he walked out, he came back with crutches." When Claudine's hair began falling out due to the chemotherapy, one of the nurses arranged for Claudine to have her head shaved.
Winning Hearts
Claudine's infectious smile and optimism won the hearts of staff at MGHfC. She became especially close with her nurses, Sandy Pugsley, Janice Erlandson and Carly Jean-Francois; the child life specialists including Sacha Field, and music therapist Lorrie Kubicek.
"I always like to say Claudine has a lot of mothers, including the nurses," O'Flaherty says. "They're amazing."
"I loved the hospital very much," Claudine says. "It was nothing like the hospitals in Rwanda and they had really good care. The people were so caring. Every time I went for more treatment it felt like I was going home or something."
For staff, the feeling was mutual, says child life specialist Field. "Everybody literally fell in love with her when they met her. She just handled things with such grace and strength, she was unlike anybody else that you've ever met," Field says.
In Rwanda she had been walking with the help of crutches, but Mass General specialists assembled a prosthetic leg for Claudine from spare parts they had on hand.
Though Claudine had occasionally played guitar in the orphanage in Rwanda, taking cues from her brother and others, Claudine learned to play the guitar with music therapist Kubicek, and even performed a concert for the MGHfC inpatient unit at her farewell party.
Claudine also reached milestones in her treatment, including the day she got her prosthetic leg. In Rwanda she had been walking with the help of crutches, but Mass General specialists assembled a prosthetic leg for her from spare parts they had on hand.
Claudine remembers the day her specialist walked into her hospital room, holding the leg. Doubtful but willing, she tried it on.
"I was like, wow, I am standing," she says. She worked with Physical Therapist Edgar Savidge, PT, DPT, OCS, to build up strength and balance, to the point where she could kick a ball. Years later when the prosthetic broke, Savidge reached out to Next Step Orthotics and Prosthetics, whose specialists created a prosthetic for Claudine free of charge. Claudine says of her prosthetic, "I love it; I can do many things with it."
Toward the end of her treatment, Claudine traveled to Hawaii on a grant from the Make-a-Wish Foundation. As part of the trip, Claudine rode a horse for the first time, an activity she would revisit.
"The way they treated Claudine, it was never any different than any other kid and she got the best care and whatever she needed regardless, and to me that was pretty outstanding," O'Flaherty says of the MGHfC staff. "She's living a great life today as a result of that care."
Standout Return
Claudine's return to Rwanda in June 2006 created quite a stir. "You should have seen the kids, when I went back to the orphanage— they couldn't believe it was me," she says with a laugh. "I was really, really skinny when I left them and when I went back I was all healthy and I had a prosthetic leg and I wasn't using crutches anymore.
"They all came out and surrounded me and were looking at me like I was some new person from another planet," she adds.
Today Claudine has taken up horseback riding and joined the swim team. Here she stands in front of the stables at her school in Wellesley, MA.
Back in her English-speaking school in Rwanda, Claudine was a clear standout. Her English-language abilities had surpassed even some of her teachers'. She had a feeling she would return to the U.S., and the opportunity presented itself when, with help from a doctor she met through Partners in Health, she returned on school scholarships. Claudine attended a year of high school in Greenwich, CT, followed by her current scholarship at Dana Hall School in Wellesley, MA, where she is a junior.
Today, Claudine is exuberant and healthy. At Dana Hall she has taken up horseback riding and joined the swim team. She still plays the guitar and writes her own songs, but she insists she sings them only for her close friends.
Claudine keeps in close touch with many of her MGHfC caregivers and the O'Flahertys. Child life specialist Field and her colleagues visited Claudine recently. "She's worked so hard to get where she is," Field says. "She was a girl when we were treating her now she's this beautiful young woman who is so dedicated to her studies and determined to make a difference in the world."
Claudine's eyes shine as she speaks of her present and future endeavors, including a possible career in medicine.
"If I become a doctor, I'm going to work with Rwandans in Rwanda," she says, sitting in a lounge at her school. "I still want to be able to come here, but I want to help people in Rwanda because I know how it is in the hospital in Rwanda. They need me," she adds. Claudine says she is also considering becoming an architect.

I notice that the moderators over there deleted all of the posts in that thread that were made in the past couple of days, making out as if they are cleaning up the thread . Just as it was starting to get interesting too.
It doesn't surprise me of course, they temp-banned my account on there about 6 months ago when I started to argue 9/11, and to this day my account is still temp-banned

An increasing number of overweight Americans have lost the motivation to diet, according to a new study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association.
Back in 1990, when researchers asked overweight Americans if they were trying to lose weight, 56 percent said yes.
But this has changed. According to the latest data, just 49 percent say they're trying.
This may not seem like a big decline. But given that about 2 out of every 3 Americans are either overweight or obese, a decline of 7 percent means millions more people may have given up on dieting.
"The trend is particularly evident among black women," says study author Jian Zhang, an epidemiologist at Georgia Southern University — though the trend is seen across the population.
So what gives? It seems our perceptions about dieting and our attitudes about overweight people are shifting.
"Women are leading the decline in dieting," the NPD Group told us in 2013, when the group's survey data picked up on this trend.
There seems to be a growing acceptance of bigger body sizes. And women we spoke with helped illuminate this shift.
"My family still loves me and my friends do, too, so it's not like I feel bad about how I look," Cynthia Rodriguez told us.
I met Rodriguez and her family at a food court where they like to go for dinner. Rodriguez told me she weighs more than she should, but she doesn't feel the pressure to diet.
She says she tried dieting in the past, but she didn't lose weight. "It's a negative thing ... like a punishment," Rodriguez says.
These days, Rodriguez says she's trying to exercise more and be healthy, but that doesn't mean she's aiming for skinny. She says not everyone needs to be a size 2.
And her sister Rosa Rodriguez says with more overweight people around, there's a new norm. "Everyone's more comfortable with themselves," Rosa says. "If you feel [good] with the body you have, [whether it's] being size 2, size 10, or size 16, it's just [about] being comfortable."
The authors of the new study point to other reasons overweight people may have given up on trying to lose weight — "primary care doctors not discussing weight issues with patients," for instance.
The paper lays out another factor, too: "The longer adults live with obesity, the less they may be willing to attempt weight loss."
"It's a big concern," study author Jian Zhang told us. Obesity increases the risk of a whole range of diseases, and there's a concern that people who are overweight and obese may be ignoring or overlooking the risks.
Not everyone is convinced that the dip in dieting is bad. "There's a possible good news story in this," says Janet Tomiyama, a psychologist at UCLA who studies eating behavior and weight stigma.
"We're not going to shame people into health," Tomiyama says. Crash diets — focused on weight loss — often fail. But "a lot of research shows that having a healthy body image is what leads to better health outcomes."
She says that the women I met at the mall, including Cynthia Rodriguez, were onto something: focusing on health more broadly instead of just weight.
"Maybe people are taking the focus off the number on the scale, and going more towards focusing on their health," she says, such as sleeping habits and exercise habits and strategies to de-stress.
Tomiyama says there are signs that the strong anti-fat bias in our culture may be shifting.
"There may be a sea change toward pushing back against body shaming and fat shaming," says Tomiyama. And it goes beyond just the shift in perceptions in the U.S.
This month, Vogue magazine put a plus-size model on its cover and the fashion world has begun putting curvier models on the runway. "Even in Paris, a city known for its razor-thin models, signs of hope came via the appearance of Katy Syme and Stella Duval at H&M's vibrant see-now-buy-now show," wrote Janelle Okwodu in a Vogue.com story this week about the fashion world's new focus on inclusivity.
And now let's ask a question raised by new research in the Journal of the American Medical Association. Here's the question - are diets becoming passe? NPR's Allison Aubrey reports that as the number of Americans who are overweight has grown, fewer of them say they are trying to do something about it.
ALLISON AUBREY, BYLINE: It used to be that if you asked overweight people in the U.S. whether they're trying to lose weight, majority of them said yes. But that has changed. According to new data, just under 50 percent say they're trying. Now, this change doesn't surprise Cynthia Rodriguez. She weighs more than she'd like to, but she says she doesn't feel the pressure to diet anymore.
CYNTHIA RODRIGUEZ: My family still loves me, and my friends do too. So it's not like I feel bad about how I look.
AUBREY: Her story maps well with what the new federal data shows. She says she's tried to diet in the past, but she just didn't lose weight.
C. RODRIGUEZ: It's kind of like - it's in your mind as like - it's a negative thing, like a punishment.
AUBREY: These days, Cynthia says she's trying to exercise more and be healthy. But that doesn't mean she wants to be skinny. She says not everyone needs to be a size 2. And her sister Rosa says, with more overweight people around, there's a new norm.
ROSA RODRIGUEZ: If you feel well with the body that you have - you know, be it size 2, size 10, size 16 - it's just being comfortable.
AUBREY: So did the singer Meghan Trainor tap into a trend with this song that celebrates bigger bodies?
MEGHAN TRAINOR: (Singing) 'Cause every inch of you is perfect from the bottom to the top. Yeah, my mama...
AUBREY: Janet Tomiyama is a researcher at UCLA. She says the strong anti-fat bias in our culture may be shifting.
JANET TOMIYAMA: I do think there may be a sea change toward pushing back against body shaming and fat shaming.
AUBREY: This month, Vogue magazine put a plus-size model on its cover, and the fashion world is also putting curvier models on the runway.
UNIDENTIFIED REPORTER: Paris Fashion Week sets the shape of things to come in the fashion world. And this year...
AUBREY: It's possible that today, with growing acceptance of bigger body sizes, fewer overweight people want to diet. The downside, researchers say, is people may overlook or ignore the very real health problems tied to obesity. But Tomiyama says that's not necessarily the case.
TOMIYAMA: Maybe people are, you know, taking the focus off the number on the scale and going more towards focusing on their health.
AUBREY: She says crash diets focused on weight loss often fail. But she says a healthy body image can set the stage for good habits and lead to a healthier life.

Kate Gosselin Reported To Child Protective Services
Robert Hoffman, the author of the condemning book accusing Kate of abusing her eight children reported the former reality star to authorities when he believed the Gosselin children were in danger.
As if writing a tell-all book exposing Kate Gosselin for her alleged lies and violence against her eight children wasn't enough, Robert Hoffman, the author of Kate Gosselin: How She Fooled the World and a friend of Jon Gosselin, actually took legal action against the former reality star.
"I personally contacted Child Protection Services (sic) twice in 2010 when I found the journal," he told RadarOnline.com in a written response.
"I sent them copies of what I had and they told me they would look into it and that's the last I heard. I've tried to talk to Kate several times in 2010, but she wouldn't acknowledge my existence."
Robert claims in his book, which has since been pulled from Amazon.com, that he has talked to hundreds of people who witnessed her abusive behavior, including pulling her kids by their hair and beating them with a wooden spoon.
"My sources include former crew members who witnessed (the alleged abuse)," he said. "I've been told that there is much footage of this (behavior) that obviously never saw the light of day."
Although lawyers for TLC claim that Robert use confidential information in his book — one of the reasons it was pulled from distribution — he says everything in his tell-all is legal and accurate.
"I can tell you that all of my information regarding Kate Gosselin used in the book was obtained by me personally through completely legal means," he told RadarOnline.com.
"The book contains about ten percent of what was found in the computer files. There is so much more that hasn't been revealed. I also have physical and photographic evidence to back up my claims in the book."
What do YOU think of Robert calling CPS on Kate HollyMoms? Should they have taken more action?

Having already won his second Major Championship, ascended to the summit of the Official World Golf Ranking and played his part in Europe's stunning Ryder Cup comeback, Rory McIlroy has now set the seal on the most glittering season of his career by winning The Race to Dubai for the first time.
After collecting €289,296 for finishing in third place at the Barclays Singapore Open, won by Italian Matteo Manassero, McIlroy took his season's earnings to €3,696,597 and, with his closest rival Peter Hanson not playing again until the season-ending DP World Tour Championship, Dubai, the Northern Irishman has now established an unassailable lead at the top of The Race to Dubai.
In so doing, McIlroy – who will defend his UBS Hong Kong Open title next week before moving onto Dubai the week after – has emulated the feats of his Ryder Cup team-mate Luke Donald, who won the Money Lists on both sides of the Atlantic last season.
Aged 23 years and 191 days, McIlroy becomes the youngest player to be crowned European Number One since Scotland's Sandy Lyle, who was 21 when he won the Harry Vardon Trophy in 1979 and 22 when he repeated the feat the following year. He also becomes only the second player from Northern Irishman to top the Money List, following Ronan Rafferty in 1989.
McIlroy said: "It really is hugely satisfying to finally become the European Number One, especially after finishing second in two of the last three years. It has been one of my main goals to become Number One in Europe ever since securing my card five years ago, so to end the year as the Number One on both The European and US PGA Tours is absolutely amazing.
"Winning a second Major Championship already made it a fabulous season, but then to follow Luke [Donald] in becoming Number One in both Europe and the States is the icing on the cake after a fabulous season.
"I feel so proud and humbled to have joined so many fabulous names in Europe who have won the Order of Merit. And to be able to accomplish this goal with two events still remaining in The Race to Dubai means that I can defend my UBS Hong Kong Open title and play in the DP World Tour Championship in Dubai without that added pressure, and just really enjoy my golf.
"I set myself a number of ambitious goals at the start of the year, and to have ticked so many of the boxes feels great. A lot of hard work went into this, and I am really proud of what I've achieved in 2012.I would like to give special thanks to the team around me for all the support they have given me throughout the year.
"I've still got two events remaining this year, and the goal is still to try and win at least once more before the end of the season. Beyond that, I'm looking forward to a good break over the winter! I've got a healthy lead in the World Rankings, but with so many very good players on both sides of the Atlantic there's no time to be resting on my laurels, so my goal is to push on in the New Year.
"Monty [Colin Montgomerie] won eight Orders of Merit in his prime, and I have only won one so far, so there is plenty of ground to make up. But to be able to go into 2013 as the Number One on both The European Tour and the US PGA Tour is hugely satisfying."
Youngest winners of the Harry Vardon Trophy since the start of The European Tour in 1972:
19 - Seve Ballesteros 1976
20 - Seve Ballesteros 1977
21 - Seve Ballesteros 1978
21 - Sandy Lyle 1979
22 - Sandy Lyle 1980
23 - Dale Hayes 1975
23 - Rory McIlroy 2012

Free as in Freedom: Richard Stallman's Crusade for Free Software, by Sam Williams.
Sebastopol, CA: O'Reilly & Associates, 2002. 225 pages. $22.95
Richard Stallman is easily the most controversial figure associated with Linux and the open source movement. And the controversy begins with this very terminology. Stallman, fairly or not, believes the operating system is and should be called GNU/Linux, and the movement that he is a part of is not favoring "open source" but "free software."
For those of you just getting acquainted, Stallman is the founder of the Free Software Foundation and the GNU Project, the creator of the GNU C Compiler, and the emacs text editor. He is also the father of the GNU General Public License. He is firm in his belief that proprietary and restrictive software licenses, and the non-disclosure agreements that underpin them, are Evil and counterproductive. Information may or may not want to be free, but software programs are made to be shared with users.
Free as in Freedom is the first book-length attempt to review Stallman's life, though since its subject hasn't turned 50 yet, it should not be the last. Sam Williams relies on interviews with his subject, his mother and contemporaries, a few speeches, along with the great volume of Stallman's writings available on the Web. The book is an easy introduction to Stallman's career and ideas, but at this length cannot go into great depth.
The book begins with Stallman's recounting of The Tale of the Xerox Printer, which could be considered the creation myth of the free software movement and, indirectly, the GNU Project. The year was 1980, Stallman was working at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology's Artificial Intelligence Lab, and the lab's state-of-the-art network printer was jammed again after he sent a job to print overnight.
Hackers at the AI Lab had solved this particular problem with the old printer by programming the printer to send out a "Printer Jammed, Fix Me!" message to everyone on the network. Presumably the person or persons who wanted the printer unjammed and/or knew how to unjam the printer would show up to fix the problem. This was relatively easy for the programmers to accomplish, because the printer's software was available as standard procedure.
When Xerox donated the new cutting-edge machine to the AI Lab, however, the software didn't come with the package, and the non-disclosure agreement (NDA) that the programmer signed prevented anyone outside Xerox from viewing the code. So the jammed-paper message could not be programmed in unless Xerox put it in themselves.
Stallman believed this method of restricting access to code was morally wrong, in part because to this point, computer software was generally created to solve problems. Programmers shared all their work with each other, much like scientists before World War II. He saw NDAs and restrictive software licenses as ways to put profits and greed ahead of problem-solving and community. He resolved never to sign an NDA and would always make his programs available.
Williams traces Stallman's dissolute New York City youth, his early demonstrations of genius in Columbia Science Honors Program for high school students, his years as a Harvard math major and his early days at the AI Lab on the other side of Boston. All the traits that would define him later would be present here. His genius, his anti-socialness. His atheism, his moralizing. His off-the-wall humor, his intensity. Above all, his talent for just about anything he wanted to do.
He found out that what he wanted to do more than anything was write code. The day he first walked into the AI Lab, he sat down at a terminal and started doing just that. The next day, he had a job at the AI Lab, where perhaps the country's most brilliant programming talent were concentrated. Williams gives us a sense of the hacker community and the ethics developed at the AI Lab that Stallman became the champion of.
This environment led to the building of emacs, the endlessly customizable text editor designed to communicate with the PDP-11 mainframe. Emacs is the geek/hacker's editor of choice. It started as a set of macros that simplified life in the lab's TECO editor, but became a standalone program (short for Editing MACroS) in 1979. GNU emacs was the first product of the GNU Project.
The GNU Project (GNU's Not Unix) began in 1983, when Stallman shifted gears from writing programs for mainframes like the PDP-11 and decided to write "a complete Unix-compatible software system...and give it away free to everyone who can use it." Williams describes this as a stark moral choice: creating and promoting free software himself was the only way Stallman could live up to his moral code and not use proprietary software at any time.
GNU emacs was released in 1985, and shortly thereafter Stallman published the GNU Manifesto, his first expression of the philosophy and politics behind the movement. The manifesto eventually led to the creation of the GPL four years later. In 1990, Stallman's work on behalf of free software won him the $240,000 MacArthur Foundation "genius grant."
But for all of the GNU Project's successes, the team was having trouble building a kernel for the new free operating system. Enter Linus Torvalds. At first skeptical of Torvalds' just-for-fun approach to development, Williams describes Stallman's eventual adoption of the Linux kernel as the basis for the GNU/Linux free OS.
Through all this runs the story of Richard Stallman the uncompromising ideologue. We get the early story of Stallman freaking out when he cannot get the Xerox printer code. There's a very funny interlude of Stallman freaking out in a car while battling bumper-to-bumper traffic on Maui. There's the break between Stallman and Eric S. Raymond over the "open source" term. There's the all-too-brief section discussing Stallman's objections to the Trolltech license for the Qt libraries that serve as the basis for the KDE desktop (and no mention at all of the subsequent genesis of GNOME).
Finally, there's the story of Stallman's own cooperation with Williams on this book. The epilogue details Stallman's scuttling of the original project as an e-book. E-books are ultimately proprietary, and Stallman could not participate in a project that would make him look like a hypocrite. So the book is published by O'Reilly and licensed under the GNU Free Documentation License. Something you don't like about the book? Want to embellish some of the stories? You will have that opportunity (starting in June) at http://www.faifzilla.org.

Quotes from a variety of civil society experts
Original Publication Date:
16 December, 2011
Aksel Naerstad, chair of the Norwegian Trade Campaign (network organizations of labour unions, farmersâ organizations, environmental organizations, solidarity organizations and other NGOs):
âThe Norwegian support for the pledge against protectionism is shocking and represent a dramatic shift in Norwegian trade policy. The Minister of Foreign Affairs, Jonas Gahr Stoere, in his speech in the plenary spoke strongly against all forms of protectionism, without any exemptions either for developing countries or for any sectors. Norway uses strong protectionism in agriculture, which is crucial for keeping Norwegian agriculture alive.
Norway also protects public services from competition. Norway has been advocating for increased policy space for developing countries, but now they call on other WTO-members to commit to not use even the policy space allowed within WTO. This dramatic shift in Norwegian trade policy has not been publicly debated, and we doubt that it has been discussed in the government. It is not likely that two of the three parties in the government would agree on this dramatic shift in Norwegian policy.â
Michael Frein from Church Development Service (EED), Germany said:
"It is a shame that some countries try to use the current global economic crisis to reduce the policy space of developing countries, by even pushing them to not make use of their established rights under existing WTO rules. Instead, we would expect concrete measures regarding the global ecological crisis, the food crisis and poverty eradication."
Burghard Ilge (senior policy officer of environment and development NGO BothENDS and NGO adviser to the European Commission in the EU delegation):
âThe main problems with the current proposals on how to prevent protectionism that I have seen so far is that they focus on tariff measures only. In particular developing countries which are less well positioned to take the same government interventions developed countries took in respond to the crisis might need the policy space the WTO allows them with respect to tariff measures.
The argument to prevent protectionism should not be abused by countries to reduce the rights other countries still have to respond to the crises in a one-sided way.
The WTO tried to also look at the stimulus packages taken by developed countries but I see very little effort to discuss how to address the trade distorting effects of such measures. It would be a total perversion of the outcome of MC8 if the EU and other developed countries would still be able to reintroduce export subsidies and use other WTO compatible export stimuli, while developing countries less well positioned to take such measures would lose important policy tools to respond to related trade distortions.â
Kinda Mohamadieh, from the Arab NGO Network for Development said:
"While developing countries have been facing the challenges arising from a global economic crisis they did not cause, the "pledge" that is being promoted under the name of fighting against protectionism will bring in restrictions on using multiple policy tools that these countries have fought throughout the WTO negotiations to save, which are a right that WTO law should protect and not jeopardize, and which are essential to any development prospects in these countries".
Krishan Bir Chaudhary from Bharatiya Krishak Samaj (BKS) in India said:
âIndian farmers condemn the double standards of countries that proposed an additional pledge against protectionism. While, the developed countries resorted to heavily protecting their agri-business corporations, it is travesty of justice to call upon the developing countries and LDCs to remove the minimum support structures created to safeguard the livelihoods of millions of small and marginal farmers.
Without the removal of Green Box subsidies (a great protection given to agri-business corporations by the developed countries), the developed country demands in this pledge that developing countries and least developed countries should not be able to exercise their rights under the WTO to raise their applied tariffs to their bound rate is unfair. Agricultural liberalisation in India has already caused 256000 Indian farmers to commit suicide. We call on India not to sign this pledge or agree to any standstill at the WTO.â
Rangarirai Machemedze from SEATINI Zimbabwe commented that:
âIndeed countries must âfight all forms of protectionism in the strongest termsâ. This includes stimulus packages, bailouts of banks, industries and all forms of agricultural subsidies. African countries have suffered from protectionist policies which have always been practised by developed countries and are still on the rise. There is nothing new from what these developed countries are saying about protectionism. They have to deal with their domestic protectionist tendencies first before they ask for multilateral cooperation. These are double standards at their worst. The developed countriesâ pledge to fight protectionism has no shame at all. They have no moral ground to talk against protectionism when they are the worst culprits.â
Adam Wolfenden from the Pacific Network on Globalisation (PANG) stated:
âFor countries across the Pacific, policy space and flexibilities are essential to ensuring that development happens in a manner that is consistent with the unique needs of Pacific Island Countries. Samoa and Vanuatu as acceding countries are being asked to make significant commitments and this pledge and its 'one-size-fits-all' nature highlights the disconnect between the WTO and what real development means for the Pacific.â
Jim Fernando the Campaign Officer for Kilusang Magbubukid ng Pilipinas (Peasant Movement of the Philippines-KMP) said:
The âPledge Against Protectionismâ statement issued by countries headed by the US and EU âis a desperate attempt to cover up the truth that the rotten and bankrupt âdevelopmentâ paradigm of so-called âfree marketâ globalization is the main cause of the global economic and financial crisis.â
Obviously, the âpledgeâ is aimed to undermine the world peopleâs growing clamor for genuine development and countries defending their national economies from the continuing onslaught of globalization.â
Sylvester Wullo Bagooro of Third World Network-Africa said:
âIt is essential to put protectionism in context. Protectionism through use of standards or the use of environmental reasons to block goods and services from developing countries is unacceptable. However developing countries still need the policy space to protect local industries. The current developed countries used the same policy instruments at their nascent stage of development. Anyway the greatest protectionists today are still the developed countries so it is actually hypocritical for them to talk about protectionism.â
Monica Di Sisto the Vice-President of Fair, solidarity economy cooperative in Italy commented that:
"the poorest small scale agriculture producers in Italy are affected by international spike of food prices as the global south ones. In solidarity and in tight cooperation as we're doing together under the shared campaigning umbrella, we need to explore new and effective ways to cooperate and to protect this agro-ecological way to produce and live the rural areas avoiding dumping and others unfair practices, and in the other side we'll continue to press EU to support poorest Countries in protect their productions, smallhollders and biodiversity thanks to an adequate policy space".

I cannot get my head around people who use this term, & often look at them with a confused expression when I hear 'rest in peace'. What do people mean by this, & why do they feel they need to say it?
To me & probably all of you, its an empty phrase, meaningless. But still, its branded about more than Angry Birds.
How do you feel with this phrase? & how do you react to it socially? Are you offended by it? Have you never really thought about it?
Views: 4973
The term doesn't bother me, and doesn't feel overtly religious to me. It doesn't get much more peaceful than death. To me it says that the person is free of the toils of everyday life (or free of the painful final days), rather than a conscious peaceful rest in an afterlife.
+1 to this response.... says everything I wanted to say. Thanks, James.
Yea I couldn't say it better myself.
Jesus thought of death as sleeping. The Bible teaches that when one dies they are not conscious, they are, in effect, well . . . just dead and buried. Until a possible resurrection.
I don't really use the term, nor does it bother me.
I thought it was interesting that you said to you it is an empty phrase. Meaningless, and then later you protest: Don't people get the meaning of it?
Rot in Peaces
Haha :)
I've seen it written on tombstones, but I have not heard it spoken aloud. It sounds like something you might say to describe the apparent sleep of a dead body. Do they use the expression for cremations? It might seem a bit weird if you are burning a body to ashes; to say Rest in peace in those circumstances definitely sounds wrong to me.
I hadn't thought about it until I read your thread topic. Is it really religious? I mean if there is supposed to be a heaven filled with happiness and harps, or whatever the image that religion inspires (72 virgins, for example hardly invites an image of peacefulness), is the religious person expecting any of these activities to be 'resting in peace'? Is there any other way to rest? It is a bizarre expression, but it doesn't seem to evoke any religious thoughts in my head.
When we give platitudes to bereaved people, we say the thing that we think will comfort them. They hear what they want to hear. There probably isn't an expression that we can trot out to resolve any grief, so we tend to resort to 'condolences' and other well-worn expressions.

The luxury hotel Donald Trump built in an iconic downtown Washington building has opened its doors.
The Trump International Hotel, Washington, D.C., began serving guests Monday. The hotel opened about 2 p.m., as workers put on the finishing touches. The website for the 260-room hotel lists rates beginning at $396 per night, before taxes and fees.
There was not much fanfare around the opening Monday. Grand-opening ceremonies are planned for October.
Trump sent out a tweet promoting his new hotel Monday but did not make a public appearance there.
"Stopped by @TrumpDC to thank all of the tremendous men & women for their hard work!"
A group of people protested the opening of the hotel for much of the day by chanting and holding signs. "Immigrants & Muslims are welcome here -- Trump Hotel is NOT!" one banner said.
A smaller number of people held signs in support of the GOP candidate, including a man with a sign that said "USA for Trump."
A woman who had applied for a job at the hotel was in the passing crowd outside.
"Mr. Trump, if you're looking, hire me. I'm your woman!" job applicant Andrea Reid said.
The Trump Organization won a 60-year lease from the federal government to transform the Old Post Office building on Pennsylvania Avenue into a hotel. The building first opened in 1897 but was largely deserted after a failed bicentennial makeover.
Trump broke ground on the renovation before he entered the presidential race, boasting that it would be one of the finest hotels in the world. After he launched his campaign, two highly regarded chefs backed out of plans to open restaurants in the hotel because of Trump's comments about Mexican immigrants.

Lancaster folks were a bit antsy the last week of October 1940.
All of this war stuff was taking a toll.
James Williams of Route 4 and Henry Flynn of Elm Street were among the first soldiers whose draft numbers were drawn from a fish bowl in Washington, D.C., that week.
It had been a tough week. Friday night's weather had messed up the football game between Lancaster and Fort Mill.
The game ended in a 7-7 tie. Some didn't go 'cause of the rain and the ones who went were mad about the outcome.
First Presbyterian Church, 700 N. Main St., will present is annual Kirkin' o' the Tartan service at 11 a.m. Nov. 4.
The ancient tartan ceremonies started in the 1700s as way for Scottish clans to rededicate their families to God.
The service had its beginnings in the United States during World War II, when the late Dr. Peter Marshall preached a series of sermons to raise funds to aid Scottish churches. Dr. Marshall's sermons were popular. When asked to entitle his May 2, 1943, message, Marshall suggested the tartans name.
Eula Mae Baker has a thing for dolls. Dolls of all shapes, sizes, and textures line the walls of her home in Lancaster, and she can tell you all about each one of them – no matter how long she's had them. At 88-years-old, she has been building the collection for several decades.

Our new Habitat homeowners, who will soon be moving into their new homes on Penny and Meeting Streets, have just received a very special housewarming gift. Painter and muralist Kim Twitty donated her talents to paint murals for the children's bedrooms at both homes.
Let's Keep Lancaster Warm, sponsored by Hope on the Hill and Development & Construction, LLC, are accepting new or gently used clean coats through Dec. 15.

Sometimes hobbies become a passion that turns into a part of who we are. That's exactly what happened to the late Jim Lasley.
Lasley stumbled into his birdwatching hobby innocently. Trying to answer questions about birds posed by his three (then small) children back in the early 1950s, he found he needed to do some research of his own. Lasley, a well respected mechanical engineer who oversaw the construction of the Grace Plant for Springs Industry, didn't know much about birds but knew just who to contact.
The Lancaster County Department of Social Services honored a volunteer on Thursday who has given more than 20 years of service as a member of the Lancaster County DSS Advisory Board.
Flossie Williams, a retired Lancaster County School District secretary, attended the event with her husband, Eugene. After Lancaster County DSS Director Janice Chapman presented Williams with a plaque commemorating her years of service, the other board members presented her with a variety of gifts.

California's Kreyenhagen elevated to primary target
Zodiac Exploration Inc., Calgary, has upgraded the Eocene Kreyenhagen formation to a primary objective based on further analysis of engineering and geological data from its 4-9 vertical test well in Kings County, Calif.
By OGJ editors
HOUSTON, July 27 -- Zodiac Exploration Inc., Calgary, has upgraded the Eocene Kreyenhagen formation to a primary objective based on further analysis of engineering and geological data from its 4-9 vertical test well in Kings County, Calif.
As previously reported, following a 24-ton frac stimulation over a 30-ft siltstone interval in the Kreyenhagen formation, the 4-9 well averaged a flow of 24 b/d of 29° gravity oil for 9 days before being shut-in for pressure build-up.
The pressure test analysis indicated significant skin (formation) damage of approximately +13, which the company believes can be addressed by optimizing stimulation procedures in future wells. The Inflow Performance Relationship (IPR) derived from the well test analysis demonstrated that a rate of 120 b/d could potentially be achieved with 60% pressure drawdown and elimination of formation damage.
The reservoir is overpressured with 12,800 psi reservoir pressure and a gradient of 0.9 psi/ft. Porosity and permeability values derived from well log analysis indicate effective siltstone porosity of 10-13% with permeability of 0.4-3.0 md.
Murray Rodgers, Zodiac president and chief executive officer, said, "To put these results into perspective, this test rate was generated from the stimulation of a 30-ft siltstone interval, while we have identified a total of 150 ft of siltstone in this formation in the 4-9 wellbore. It is significant that our geoscience team has also identified up to 500 ft of siltstone on other portions of company acreage.
"We have now demonstrated that we can successfully place a hydraulic fracture into the Kreyenhagen siltstone which greatly enhances our ability to access the existing natural fractures present in the reservoir. As we improve our completion techniques, an increase in production performance can be achieved. We believe we have identified a major light oil resource play; however, additional testing and evaluation will be required to confirm the potential of the Kreyenhagen formation."
The shales of the Kreyenhagen formation in the 4-9 well exhibit specific geological characteristics similar to and in some cases superior to other successful source rock plays in North America, Zodiac noted. Extensive analysis of well logs, drill cuttings, and core data indicate high oil-prone total organic carbon of up to 5.75% and sufficient maturity to assist in confirming the company's view that the Kreyenhagen shales are presently generating oil on company lands.
The analysis indicates high shale porosity and permeability, averaging 5.7% and .06 md, respectively. A pervasive natural fracture system that may enhance these reservoir parameters has also been identified.
Substantial gross formation thickness including both siltstones and shales range from 800 to more than 1,000 ft across company lands. While not expected to be prospective on all of the company's lands, the Kreyenhagen formation is present on the entire 86,000 net acres controlled by the company. For comparison, net siltstone reservoir thicknesses in the Bakken formation in North Dakota and Saskatchewan is 20-30 ft on average.
The company also announces that in addition to the ongoing completion and testing program for the 4-9 well, Zodiac's 1-10 appraisal well has reached a total depth of 13,515 ft and the company is preparing to set intermediate casing. The 1-10 well reached this depth in 36 days versus 57 days to a similar depth in the 4-9 well.
The 1-10 well is 1 mile east of the 4-9 well and is planned as the company's first horizontal well. The 4-9 well test results, combined with geological and geophysical data gathered to date, will determine the placement of the horizontal leg in the 1-10 well.
A large independent oil and gas producer has elected to participate in the drilling of the 1-10 well with a 20% working interest. Results of the Lower Vaqueros completion in the 4-9 well are still being analyzed, and Zodiac expects to begin testing the Oligocene Whepley formation in early August.

Ralph Crane's 1952 photograph of a wailing child and a seven-foot-tall robot on the streets of Hamburg, Germany, might be the single funniest picture of a terrified child that any of us will ever see. But why is it so amusing?
The anguish in the child's face is almost palpable, and no reasonable person takes pleasure in a toddler's pain fear. And yet . . . chances are excellent that most people seeing this photo for the first time will, in fact, react not with horror, but with laughter. Where does that laughter come from? And what is it about this particular kid's predicament that so reliably sparks mirth in grown-ups?
The likeliest and simplest explanation, of course, is that any grown-up can relate to that little boy's terror. All of us, after all, at some point in our childhoods, confront scenarios, objects, creatures that scare the bejesus out of us. The boy in Crane's photo is learning that the hard way. But as adults, we also know something that the child in the picture can not possibly know: namely, that he is perfectly safe. That nothing is going to happen to him. That the creepy mechanical man — a robot named Sabor — lumbering toward him is in fact little more than a huge, harmless toy.
Maybe, in the end, it's not really amusement or delight that elicits our laughter when we see Crane's photograph, but a kind of relief. Maybe we laugh because we're glad we've left that part of childhood behind. Maybe we laugh because we see — suddenly, from the vantage point of the passing years — that growing up does not only mean we relinquish our innocence and wonder, but that we learn how to face the unknown head-on, even when we're most afraid.

After I took this photo Carine told me they are using one of my photos of her for an upcoming issue of Paris Vogue!!

It's Her!!

In a nanosecond …Ms Roitfeld! 'n that the photo has been selected..by golly gosh! beyond fun is that!
Am imagining her shoes…
Black adores this woman :-)
YAY! Congrats!! Tell us which issue it's in when you find out! You deserve it- and that's a really cool shot.
this is one of the coolest shots yet. well done!
She is wonderfully stylish from the neck down but her hair and sunglasses make her look too much like Bobby Gillespie of Primal Scream.
Allright:-) Congrats a million!
None of my business, but, shouldn't she have asked you to use your picture and then paid you for it?
Watch out Sart, I think she might be following you!
Great looking woman with bags of style.
Is it possible to be any sexier than HER?
Looking so mysterious…
LOVE IT!! Even her hair.
carine…sheer perfection always!
That sort of looks like Posh…
you and carine.
it can't be better :)
I don't think I've ever seen her as bundled up as she is in this picture but she still looks wonderful.
What a fantastic photograph, as always!
Impossibly chic!
carine just exudes raw energy here. i would not want to get in her way! goes to show you that it's not just the cut of the clothes: attitude is everything.
mr. schuman: i'm so happy you're getting all the press you deserve!
I literally saw this – handed my banker husband some scissors and had him chop off 4″ from my hair – and I'm feeling so much more like Corinne today. It's liberating. I love her look – very sexy and confident. My hair is still longer – but – big step forward.
Who can pull off the dark, mysterious, and edgy rocker-glam look all at the same time like Carine? No one does it better. BTW, I am intrigued by the wispy hair in the face look.
she is so the epitome of hotness. at any age.
Absolutely brilliant! She always looks fierce. Only Carine could make a peacoat look rock n' roll. Congrats on your photos being in Vogue Paris!
Is it a short scirt with pockets? If it is I loove it! The jacket is super cool! Is this one of the Vogue editors with an impeccable style? I don't remeber her name. Magazines in my country aren't very updated on what goes on in America.
Love your blog by the way, I check in many times daily. I wished it went faster to find many stylish people.. But I appreciate quality before quantity. :) So rock on!
Congratlulations! But who is Carine?
the divine ms roitfeld….I love her..
It still astounds me that this woman is a day older than 30. She looks hot in this photo, a MILF if I've ever seen one.
Beautiful picture!
She looks tres perfect!
This is my first time leaving my comment, but I just have to say Congratulations on all of your success! I enjoy your blog so much. You absolutely deserve it!
Paris Vogue.
What wonderful news! Congratulations!
The chicest woman on the planet!
I love how her clothes are quite smart but her whole attitude and stance play it down to something more casual.
i wish she smiled more!
Wow, that`s great!!!
Beyond. Totally Beyond.
I just does not get cooler than Carine. There was an article about her last year in a UK paper that said she takes half a tranquilizer every day.
I need a prescription.
I am SO jealous!
Carine Roitfeld! Ahh, i adore her, she looks very chic in this picture. lucky you met her, and congrats on being in paris vogue!
Wow–you are an amazing photographer–and congrats on the French Vogue thing–but she looks like a purple-lipped junkie in expensive clothes in this image. I truly don't get her appeal.
Congrats :) Youre freaking cool, Sart
Scott, Congrats!
Have you seen that backdrop!?
Can it get more dramatic?
I will always say that the best of european fashion experience is the architecture: in this case it is half of the drama. Nice shot!
When do architecture in the USA will have a sense of national pride? Industrial concrete does not count…
This totally says raw power to me. Her lust for life shines through!
I heart Ms. Roitfeld. Ipressionnant
Congrats on the french vogue thing..
I heart Ms. Roitfeld. Impressionnant
Congrats on the french vogue thing..
I heart Ms. Roitfeld. Impressionnant
Congrats on the french vogue thing..
I want to be her!!
Love the hair, the look the attitude!!!
she is so cool!
congrats on the pic!! way to go!
Yes, Sart, your backgrounds are always great! But Maria @ 4:02 pm, you can't be serious! Architectural pride? Ever been to Chicago? Or New York, for that matter? Many of the great European buildings you probably admire existed centuries before there WERE many buildings in America, (and were often financed by the aristocracy or the Church). That kind of building doesn't occur anywhere anymore. As for materials–it all counts–concrete, metal, glass, stone–everything. How can one like modern fashion and dismiss modern architecture? Sorry, a little off-topic, but I had to weigh in…
SART, awesome news about French Vogue, and more importantly, for getting a big vote of confidence from La Roitfeld! I'm heading to Paris in March and will be rifling through April's issue hoping that's the month your photo appears.
the new MATRIX Part IV ?
lots of love
Michael from germany
It looks like she is channeling Posh.
Sart: I love your photos and all the impressions made here in the minds of our fellow Sartorialists. And congrats on the Paris Vogue.
How much is that photo worth in US$?
Just kidding.
I often surface here as the contrarian. Actually, I enjoy the role, when I feel it's needed.
The look of this woman Sabrine, or Corine. Ah, Carine…whatever.
To me, the look is highly representative of the worst element of the fashion industry: it's so phony.
I love the look of real people here, industry folks and models included, out wearing their look for the day. But this is so posed, so affected. One person posted here: "Attitude is everything."
I will post the contrarian's view: Attitude is nothing.
I looked on Google for photos of this pretty miss and I saw a real person, a girl with a job, a woman with friends, looking after her clothes, her hair, appearing as an individual, appearing alive and well.
These photos were in such contrast to this one, where it could be anyone with sunglasses, unkempt hair, and attitude, which all say: "What you see is not me, but a cleverly manipulated device to take you away from seeing me and instead objectify me as….sex symbol…purple-lipped drug addict…rock star." All of which my fellow Sartorialists picked up on here with their posts.
Oh well, it's contemporary with our times: the alure of the disengenuous. And the fashion industry loves it. Photographers too, apparently. Magazine designers.
I'll remind myself of more beneficial intentions and results when I look at this shot: Your photo will bring in the bacon to the family. And Miss Carine has a real life, one where she will return home and wash that crazy stuff out of her lovely head of hair at the end of the day. She will take off the too dark shades and show all the light and glimmer in her eyes. Thank the gods for all that.
Love to everyone, hope you are smiling over there Ms. Carine. I now know you a little better than this photo would suggest – underneath all the posed attitude you are beautiful.
First Congratulations!
As a Carine Watcher, I think that her face lights up when she smiles.
I'd love to spend some time with her and her closet :)
She has changed American fashinists'view of older women.
Probably an unpopular opinion here, but her hair and makeup look to me like someone who just rolled out of bed with a serious hangover. Maybe I'm too old, but I just don't get what's attractive about that. She's a beautiful woman with style by the boatload, but I don't think she's looking her best here…
She really reminds me of Iggy Pop around '75. It's the posture. But if she dyed her hair silver…wow.
Always perfect! Lovely Carin!
Carine, Icon of Style, not looking so great here, I agree. I love that jacket, though (what I can see of it).
Props to you, Sart, for the serious coup of getting one of your pics of La Roitfeld in her mag! Wow! Tu es arrive (can't find the acute accent in this format, sorry Francophones)
I really love your blog and the pictures you take, but to be honest the only word I can think of when I see this woman is… SCARY!
she looks fierce in this photo… excellent.
I love her. Congrats for Paris Vogue!
Ms Roitfeld is a fashion mega-star and when she appears, everybody swoons. She deserves the accolades for her elan and superb sense of style, particularly because she is what the French call belle-laide.
In her 20s and 30s, that bad-boy look she cultivated had great panache and worked for her. But I think it is wearing thin now, partly because she's been doing it too long, and partly that at her age, she can't carry it off the way she used to. Her now 20-something daughter is effortlessly pretty, which only serves to make Mom look like she is trying too hard. And the dramatic posing, a la Galliano at the end of his shows, starts to look a little silly after awhile.
Mind you, I symathize as I am considerably older than Ms. Roitfelt, but there comes a time when you just can't pretend anymore.
One of the great things Sartorialist does is give us superb examples of older men and women who maintain a great sense of style and fashion — and it works precisely becasuse they have too much dignity to be anything but who they are.
Miss Roitfield's hair looks a bit disheveled
but her outfit is certainly fantastic.
You have to come to Barcelona!!
Wow. Vogue is very wonderfull!*-*
When I think an this woman, i must think on this song:
She is amazing! (:
-"OMG. Does this have steiohmng to do with Anna W? I hope not…Im not making sense.. Anyway – too bad. Carine of all people? I have to pinch myself again.."
"For whatever reason, ambitions are difficult to find. Most of us definitely developed enough prospects within the 2nd and lastly bouts. micron
