Shooting the Clarinda Carnegie Library
This is the Carnegie library building in Clarinda. The library has moved on but the building remains in service housing a nice collection of small businesses. An unusual feature of this building is the stained glass along both sides of the entry door. We've seen a little stained glass along the tops of windows but I don't recall large windows like these before Clarinda. We did get to step inside this building. A couple of ghost hunters were inside chatting with the salesperson about the history of the building, whether there was any history of unusual events, and then about their plans to spend the night at the somewhat famous haunted house up the road in Villisca; we didn't linger.

EU Privacy Watchdogs and Search Engines Meet Next Week
Aoife White and Cornelius RahnEuropean Union privacy regulators will meet search-engine providers next week to discuss how they should enforce a "right to be forgotten" created by a court ruling in May, the EU group of watchdogs said.
Regulators will develop "elaborate, coordinated and coherent guidelines" to handle complaints over refusals by Google Inc. and others to remove information, the Article 29 Data Protection Working Party said in a statement on its website today. Search-engine providers will discuss the implementation of the court ruling at a July 24 meeting in Brussels for rules to be issued later this year.
Google is grappling with "vague and subjective tests" set by an EU court in May for how it must handle requests by people who want outdated or irrelevant information about them removed from search results on their names, the company's top lawyer said in a blog post last week. Privacy regulators must weigh search providers' refusal to delete links, the court said.
Microsoft Corp. will attend the meeting, said Robin Koch, a spokesman for the company in Brussels. Google "plans to cooperate with privacy officials," said Al Verney, a spokesman for the Mountain-View, California-based company.
Johannes Caspar, the privacy regulator for the German state of Hamburg, said he was concerned about Google's policy of alerting websites about deleted links.
Personal Information
There isn't any legal basis for the alerts, which he said violates a person's privacy and increases the risk that the site's owner will notify the public to a removal of personal information, he said in a telephone interview.
Google told the watchdog in a response to questions that it has rejected more than 10 percent of the requests to take down entries, Caspar said, declining to provide the precise figure because the information isn't public.
Google, which has more than 90 percent of the search market in Europe, says it's received 70,000 take-down requests covering 250,000 webpages since May. Microsoft put a form online yesterday to accept requests for its Bing search engine.
Yahoo! Inc. said yesterday it was developing a solution for its users in Europe to balance privacy and freedom of expression, according to an e-mailed statement.

Yo he's running his own show. LL's s-it is airtight." -Parrish, EPMD His Battle Tracks
Love him or hate him, there is no denying that LL Cool J has left a distinct impression on Hip Hop culture. In his thirty three years, LL has touched the lives of millions through his music and movies. But, many fail to acknowledge the work LL did for his community or his strong commitment towards improving life for the people after him. This is his story....... Please email Graytide if you have comments or suggestions for this page.ALSO Click here to go to the main part of this site/ Don't if your already on Graytide's! LL's Career in Short Since his auspicious emergence in 1985, LL Cool J has catapulted from over night hip-hop sensation to bonafide cross-cultural phenomenon. A seasoned entertainer at the mature age of 33, his lengthy list of accomplishments boggle the mind: two-time Grammy Award winning rapper, star of a hit television series, feature film actor, trusted advertising pitchman, author, company chairman, humanitarian and devoted husband and father. Indeed, as LL swaggered confidently into this millennium some fans must wonder: What unexplored challenges remain for the undisputed king of hip-hop? It's a reasonable enough question, one to which LL replies, "plenty." Still restless and hungry after 16 years in the spotlight, the rapper wants to elevate his game to even loftier levels. "I haven't achieved everything I want, and I definitely want a lot more, " the hip-hop legend admits. "To be honest, I feel like I'm at the beginning again. There's a desire to improve what I've built thus far and make it better." LL's insatiable ambition is admirable, especially considering his already mythic status in contemporary culture. With over 20 million albums sold worldwide he's one of the top 2 most successful hip-hop artist in history, yet his fame often threatens to overshadow his artistic achievements. His vision and commitment to excellence have resulted in a series of historic firsts. He was the first rap artist to release a single and album on the now legendary Def Jam Records Label. He was the first hip-hop artist to amass eight consecutive platinum-plus selling albums and seven gold singles. In 1991 he made history by becoming the first rap artist to go acoustic on "MTV Unplugged." Now with his music and acting careers firmly on track finds himself poised on the precipice of multimedia superstardom. His secound to last album entitled Phenomenon, is another masterful synthesis of accessible rhythm and sublime rhyme. Featuring contributions by rap and pop luminaries such as Sean "Puffy" Combs, Babyface, The Trackmasters, Kirk Franklin & The Family, Busta Rhymes, Redman and Method Man, LeShawn, The Lost Boyz, Tamia, Prestige, L.E.S., Derek Angeletti, Big Ron and Steve J., Phenomenon is LL's most introspective and forthright recording yet. Logevity For his part, LL attributes his longevity to one simple fact: "I've always been true to what I was feeling emotionally and artistically," he says. "I don't like violence. I've seen violence, seen people I love be the victims of violence and there's nothing cool about it. It plainly just doesn't interest me." LL had always made it a point to use his celebrity status to draw attention to organizations that focus on and aid his community at large. In 1992 LL founded Camp Cool J Foundation, a non-profit organization which provides free year round camping, educational cultural and recreational programs that address the concerns of young people across the country. The camp, managed by Youth Enterprises & Associated, give many children who have never left the city a chance to have fun in a stress-free environment, enjoying nature, improving their academic skills and just being kids. Through a host of programs, the foundation is constantly providing services to address issues that confront the lives of our youth such as AIDS, drugs and violence. Last year, Camp Cool J's "Political Power for Youth" programs help register over 512,000 voters with Rock The Vote. Childhood through Stardom Born in St. Albans, NY, LL earliest memories are of music - the jazz albums his grandfather would play, the r&b and rap tracks he heard on the syndicated television dance show, "Soul Train." Burning with the need to create rhymes, he was rapping by the time he was 9 years-old. Before long the boy who was born James Todd Smith had concocted a memorable stage name for himself: LL Cool J, an acronym for "Ladies Love Cool James." At 13, after his grandfather bought him music equipment instead of the dirtbike he wanted, LL began producing homemade demos and went in search of a major recording deal. A then-fledgling label named Def Jam Records was the only company to respond. From the very outset of his career LL made history. At age 16, he was the first Def Jam artist to release a single, ("I Need A Beat," 1984). That same year he made his professional debut performance at Manhattan Center High School. "they pushed the lunch room tables together and me and my DJ, Cut Creator, started playing," LL recalls. "As soon as it was over there were girls screaming and asking for autographs. Right then and there I said 'this is what I want to do'." In 1985, LL's Radio album was released to worldwide critical acclaim (Village Voice critic Robert Christgau as "the most engaging and original rap album of the year"). Later that same year LL delivered a stunning cameo performance of "I Can't Live Without My Radio" in the movie, "Krush Groove." Come the summer of '86, LL was touring as part of Run-DMC's "Raising Hell" tour, in the company of the Beastie Boys, Kurtis Blow and Whodini. Subsequent recordings only added fuel to the LL's fiery career. His 1987 sophomore album, Bigger and Deffer, resulted in the chart-topping single "I Need Love," and was hailed in Spin magazine as "arguably the heaviest rock 'n' roll record ever released on a major label." LL's 1989 album Walking with a Panther featured the hit, "Going Back to Cali," which was also featured in the critically acclaimed Gen-X drama, "Less Than Zero." The following year LL teamed with producer Marley Marl to collaborate on LL's next album, Mama Said Knock You Out. The record featured the #1 Rap, Top % R&B, and top 10 pop crossover smash "Around The Way Girl," as well as the hugely popular title track which won LL the Grammy Award for "Best Rap Solo." The album would ultimately spend over a year on the Billboard Top Pop Albums chart, and more than 70 weeks on the Top Black Albums chart.1993 saw the release of 14 Shots to the Dome, which eventually became LL's fifth consecutive platinum album. Coupled with this album released LL becomes the first rap artist to be featured on an MTV Rockumentary, an honor to any artist of any musical format. LL Picked up his second Grammy award in 1996 in the "Best Solo Rap Performance" for his platinum single "Hey Lover." This song featuring the vocal stylings of the legendary R&B group Boyz II Men, was one of the biggest hits for LL entering Billboards's Hot 100's chart at #3 and catapulting his sixth album Mr. Smith well beyond double platinum. "I really worked hard on that album, " LL states. " I really approached it with humility and tried to surround myself with people who were honest and would help take my music to the next zone. It's the most honest album I've ever made, and it was really a team effort." LL views "Phenomenon" as a musical companion to his official autobiography, I Make My Own Rules (St. Martin's Press/Ilion Books). Released in Summer 1997, the book tells the harrowing story of LL's early life and career. Despite the violence and despair that marred his youth, LL would use music as a redeeming force in his life. "My dream was simply to have the freedom to express myself," he writes. And he did. At the age 16, his first album went platinum for sales exceeding one million copies. "The book is a testimony to my growth and development as a human being," LL says. "It's a way to show people how to go through negativity and come out on top if you just focus, concentrate and believe in spirituality. A lot of the songs on my album apply to chapters in the book, so there's an inter-relationship to the book and the album. Despite this burgeoning fame, LL has remained true to the musical genre he help pioneer. In fact, he has used his popularity to help thrust hip-hop culture into the mainstream. LL is the former star of "In The House," the hit NBC turned UPN television series in which he played Marion Hill, a sidelined football player turned landlord and holistic rehabilitation center co-owner. The series first premiered as a mid-season replacement in April, 1995 and ended after four season yet still continues to sindicated in all of America's major markets. When he landed the role, LL insisted that the producers forgo the dumb jock stereo type in favor of creating principled, spiritual character. It was a role that mirrors LL's real-life persona. A dedicated family man, he lives both in New York and Los Angeles with his wife, Simone, and their four children. "I think it's important for manliness, " he says. "In the House" marks the culmination of a brief but accomplished acting career. His first official movie appearance was the film "Krush Grove, which won rave reviews for his cameo appearance. LL made his acting role debut as an undercover cop in the feature film, "The Hard Way," which starred Michael J. Fox and James Woods. He also had a supporting role in Barry Levinson's film "Toys," which starred Robin Williams. LL acquired a starring role in 1995's "Out of Sync," as well as the Showtime original release "Right to Remain Silent" (featuring Robert Loggia). In addition to appearing in the recent "Any Given Sunday" starring Al Pacino, Cameron Diaz and Jamie Fox, LL also has a major part in the soon to be released "Kingdom Come" which also stars Whoopi Goldberg and Vivica Fox. First's + Success Lately, LL has added the role of pitchman to his expansive resume. In 1996 he was featured in a commercial for Major League Baseball and was the official spokesperson for which he delivers rapid-fire rhymes extolling the popular apparel chain, Gap. He recently filmed ads for Coca-Cola and the Fubu clothing line. That LL has achieved such tremendous success without alienating his rap fan base is testament to his broad appeal. Hip-hop fans are a discriminating lot who demand authenticity in their heroes, as evidence by the growing number of one-hit-wonder rap acts. Yet over a decade after his arrival, LL's stature in the hip-hop community is strong as ever. And while opinions vary as to how LL has maintained his credibility, no one disputes his integrity. Unlike many rappers who boast of their "gangsta" affiliations, LL has steadfastly refused to glorify violence or misogyny I his music. To the contrary, he has pioneered a soulful brand of hip-hop which melds inner-city macho with gentlemanly, old world charm and love. His 1987 hit "I Need Love" was first hip-hop ballad. His 1990 single "Around the Way Girl" was a soulful serenade in praise of black women. These songs demonstrate LL's astounding ability to express tenderness without comprising his masculinity. Woman are attracted to his Adonislike features and seductive rhymes, while males recognize him as one of the fellas. LL Cool J won 15 New York Music Awards, 10 Soul Train Awards, a Billboard Music Award and was nominated for "Favorite Album" at the 1992 American Music Awards. Other awards given to LL include: the Patrick Lippard Award by Rock The Vote, an NAACP Image Favorite Hero" award from NARAS. Perhaps one of his most distinguished honors was being selected to perform at both Presidential Inaugural celebrations as well as the 50th Birthday celebration for President Clinton. In addition to the previous honors bestowed upon LL, he has been selected as the recipient of the 1997 MTV Video Vanguard Award which honors lifetime achievement in music videos. LL is the first rap artist to win the coveted award. Previous winners include The Beatles, Quincy Jones, Michael Jackson, Madonna, Janet Jackson, Guns N' Roses, Tom Petty Peter Gabriel and R.E.M. Thanks to his extensive travels, LL has become something of a hip-hop ambassador. He has traveled to Africa's Ivory Coast where he was one of the first rappers to perform a concert in the capitol city of Abidjan. He was crowned Chief Kwasi Achi-brou by the village elders of Grand Bassan after he helped with the establishment of a local hospital. In addition to Africa, 3 years ago LL visited and performed for the Prince of Saudi HRH Prince Khalid. LL says that, "I was extremely honored to perform for the prince, it was one of the most exciting moments of my recording career." Many performers would be content having succeeded in the music, acting and literary fields, but LL continues to seek new challenges. Indeed, though LL Cool J has set the standard by which all other rappers will be measured, he is bedeviled by his own insistent drive. Ask him his future plans and he rattles off a long list of goals: "I'm in the process of launching my new label, P.O.G. Records, Ilion Books is in motion as well as my footwear line, Najee. I want to reach more people with my music, I would like to do action films, and I'd like to go international with my camp and help young people achieve their goals all over the world." Such grandiose talk might seem like wishful thinking had it come from a lesser talent. But as his accomplishments attest, LL Cool J has consistently turned his dreams into reality. |

You have a square dartboard. What is the probability that a randomly-thrown dart will land closer to the center of the dartboard than to an edge?Go on. Try it now.
Here are some of my sketches as I attempted solutions.
Here's a different formulation as I thought more about the question.
Here's a a quick check to see if I'm on the right path.
Extension: Given an integer n>2, what is the probability that a randomly-thrown dart will land closer to the center of the dartboard than to an edge of a regular polygon with n sides? What is the probability as n approaches infinity?
I had a lot of fun working this out. Be sure to read Allison's original post on problem solving, persistence, and fearlessness.
If you just want to see the solution, you can find it at the bottom of the next post. In that post, I first find the solution to the Ngon Dartboard Probability (the extension offered above) followed by finding the solution to the instance when n=4 or square.

Ryan T. Eggleston is the township manager for South Fayette, one of the fastest growing suburbs of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Despite its rapid growth and its close proximity to downtown (about a 15 minute drive in good traffic), the area still has the genuine feeling that residents are nestled in a quiet world with the convenience of a major highway (Interstate 79) nearby." Eggleston noted, "South Fayette is working hard to be one of the premier places to live in Pennsylvania; the township blends a bit of paradise for all ages." The community is especially proud of the South Fayette School District and its Blue Ribbon recognition.
New development projects for the township include:
Encouraged about the future for South Fayette, Eggleston commented, "There is open space land for residential and economic development; the sky truly is the limit!"
Along with managing the township's expansion, Eggleston shared, "The biggest challenges facing local government and our profession today are two-fold: funding infrastructure repairs and staying relevant to our citizens."
"First, how do we deal with the massive issue of funding for infrastructure repairs? This crippling problem affects many communities in Pennsylvania. Roads are falling apart, and storm and sanitary sewers as well as bridges are definitely in need of repair. This is a local, state, and federal issue, and one that will not disappear. A few years ago, the president/CEO of a utility water company in Pennsylvania shared that local governments are repairing water lines at a rate of a 300-year cycle, and their company was on a 100-year cycle. Now imagine your city or town is on a 300-year full line replacement cycle. Your municipality's ground pipes are already 100 years old. In some places, the pipes are caving in. How will the pipes wait another 100 or 200 years? "
"The second issue facing us as managers is how to stay relevant in an ever changing world," stated Eggleston. "Citizens are dealing with their own real world issues: health, financial, personal, etc., and at the end of the day, there is little time for local government matters. One of our most important roles is front line customer service. When residents have an issue, they want to feel like they matter."
Prior to his tenure in South Fayette, Eggleston served as the city manager of Oil City, Pennsylvania, and borough manager of Greenville, Pennsylvania. "It has been seven years since I started my career in local government, and it has been quite an exciting adventure! I have gone from managing a city of roughly 6,500 people in an Act 47 distressed community with major financial issues and no room to expand to South Fayette Township with 14,000 residents who are building homes at a rate of about 100 new dwellings a year," shared Eggleston.
"Furthermore, I have been blessed with very supportive boards of elected officials from Greenville to Oil City to South Fayette." Eggleston added, "I could not ask for a better board in South Fayette. The commissioners have supported me 100% in my professional development, including my involvement with ICMA. They are all innovative thinkers who support the growth of the South Fayette area."
Eggleston is a vice president at large for the Association of Pennsylvania Municipal Managers. He is a member of the Leadership ICMA Class of 2013, and he volunteers on the ICMA International Committee, acting as a liaison to ICMA members in Germany and Ireland. In the spring of 2013, Eggleston attended the ICMA International Committee meeting in Denmark with other colleagues from the United States and foreign countries.
Eggleston encourages those considering a career in municipal management as well as those starting their career to get involved with ICMA and their state ICMA affiliate, as he has. He also shares the following advice with next generation leaders:
"I have met many superb professional mentors along the way, and I acknowledge that without their help and guidance I would never be where I am today. Iconic ICMA and Pennsylvania managers like Jerry Andree, Kevin Flannery, Chris Lochner, Greg Primm, Greg Smith, and many others advised me as a young manager to get involved with my state association and ICMA. Retired managers and current ICMA Range Riders like Bill Baldwin and Peter Marshall were instrumental with incredible ideas. In fact, Peter Marshall first introduced me to the concept of volunteering for the international committee." Furthermore, Eggleston is grateful for the professional collaboration with his fellow 2013 Leadership ICMA classmates and ICMA staff. "The International City/County Management Association is without a doubt the most valuable learning experience for every municipal manager or management -level employee and a true resource for all its members," concluded Eggleston.

Moonstruck Farms(Phelan, California)Moonstruck Farms CSA
13 Jun · Wed 2012Farm is progressing!
While my head is not spinning I thought I would take a moment to sit down and update you to some changes. Sales are climbing so we are only growing for the CSA at this time, and what a relief that is. It was hard growing for the larger basket requirements for the co-ops and keeping up with a wide variety of plantings for the CSA. It also allows us to make some changes that were needed. When we started root crops in August last year outside they did not succeed. It was not early enough so this year we are reserving a few rows outside to plant in the next couple of weeks of carrots and other root crops. This way we will have a supply outside and inside the greenhouses hopefully fixing a long awaited problem of enough carrots for the year. With sales up it looks like the large onion order I made is not going to be enough so we will have to rely on green onions through the winter though I am hoping the red onions will last until December. I am also going to try Crystal Wax onions from seed in the greenhouses that are a small bulb like onion. We will be taking the new greenhouse out of production in August clearing it for an September planting of greens, radishes, etc. thus allowing the old greenhouse to continue production of the summer crops until they die out in November/December. We will then clear and reamend planting as soon as the day length starts to return towards the end of January leaving January for onion/garlic planting again for the next year. In the meantime the poultry operation is well underway with Cornish growing like crazy and little tiny turkeys who are already spreading their wings and strutting their stuff saying "Yes, I am the man"....someone needs to tell them they are not even the size of a softball yet!!

The Justice Department and the SEC have underscored the importance of a company maintaining a clear disciplinary process so that executives, managers and employees are aware that a violation of the corporate code of conduct or the law will result in disciplinary action.
In addition, the Justice Department and SEC have emphasized the importance of including positive incentives for compliance with a corporate code and the law.
CCOs understand the importance of even-handed discipline and positive incentives. A corporate discipline program has to adhere to some strict guidelines for administering justice.
Three principles stand out as critical to an effective disciplinary system – justice must be even-handed, justice must be swift and employees who raise concerns must be protected from retaliation.
If managers and employees perceive a disciplinary system as discriminatory, the company culture will suffer significant harm. In order to encourage employees to raise ethical and compliance concerns, employees have to believe the system for investigating such violations and meting out discipline is fair and even-handed. Companies that cannot meet this basic test are in for a rough time.
I have observed companies that suffer from this problem. Companies with suspect disciplinary systems usually suffer from a perception that senior managers are given more lenient penalties than middle or low-level managers and employees. It is hard to turn this perception around and strong affirmative steps are usually required which are implemented under the supervision and commitment of senior executives.
Discipline must also be swift. Employees who raise concerns internally do not expect for an investigation to be resolved in a year, or even nine months. Companies have to commit to conducting a fair and timely investigation within a few months. If the matter is complex, the company needs to communicate this to a complainant so that the complainant is not surprised by the time it takes to complete the investigation. If the matter is routine and can be quickly resolved, it should be completed in no more than two months.
Finally, at every step of the disciplinary process, from the receipt of an initial complaint to the resolution of a complaint, the company has to reiterate its commitment to protect the employee who raised the concern from any retaliation. This is just as important in a situation where the complaint was found to be without merit as in the case when a complaint results in discipline against an offender.
It is not enough to state that a company will not tolerate retaliation against an employee who raises concerns about ethics and compliance. A company has to proactively monitor the employee's situation to ensure that no retaliation occurs. A CECO should reach out to the employee and make sure that the employee has not suffered any retaliation, explicit or subtle, and continue to communicate and monitor the situation through contacts with the employee's supervisor, as needed.
An ineffective and unfair disciplinary system is a breeding ground for whistleblowers to avoid internal reporting and seek justice from the government and/or in the courts. In the end, the money spent to make a system fair and swift will avoid significant costs – both literal and reputations – from any whistleblower seeking justice from the government and/or the courts.

They were not, however, exterminated: Uriah was a Hittite, 2 Samuel 11:3; Solomon used their services, 1 Kings 10:29 2 Kings 7:6; and they were not lost as a people until after the Jews' return from captivity, Ezra 9:1. See CANAANITES. Easton's Bible Dictionary Palestine and Syria appear to have been originally inhabited by three different tribes. (1.) The Semites, living on the east of the isthmus of Suez. They were nomadic and pastoral tribes. (2.) The Phoenicians, who were merchants and traders; and (3.) the Hittites, who were the warlike element of this confederation of tribes. They inhabited the whole region between the Euphrates and Damascus, their chief cities being Carchemish on the Euphrates, and Kadesh, now Tell Neby Mendeh, in the Orontes valley, about six miles south of the Lake of Homs. These Hittites seem to have risen to great power as a nation, as for a long time they were formidable rivals of the Egyptian and Assyrian empires. In the book of Joshua they always appear as the dominant race to the north of Galilee. Somewhere about the twenty-third century B.C. the Syrian confederation, led probably by the Hittites, arched against Lower Egypt, which they took possession of, making Zoan their capital. Their rulers were the Hyksos, or shepherd kings. They were at length finally driven out of Egypt. Rameses II. sought vengeance against the "vile Kheta," as he called them, and encountered and defeated them in the great battle of Kadesh, four centuries after Abraham. (see JOSHUA.) They are first referred to in Scripture in the history of Abraham, who bought from Ephron the Hittite the field and the cave of Machpelah (Genesis 15:20: 23:3-18). They were then settled at Kirjath-arba. From this tribe Esau took his first two wives (26:34; 36:2). They are afterwards mentioned in the usual way among the inhabitants of the Promised Land (Exodus 23:28). They were closely allied to the Amorites, and are frequently mentioned along with them as inhabiting the mountains of Palestine. When the spies entered the land they seem to have occupied with the Amorites the mountain region of Judah (Numbers 13:29). They took part with the other Canaanites against the Israelites (Joshua 9:1; 11:3). After this there are few references to them in Scripture. Mention is made of "Ahimelech the Hittite" (1 Samuel 26:6), and of "Uriah the Hittite," one of David's chief officers (2 Samuel 23:39; 1 Chronicles 11:41). In the days of Solomon they were a powerful confederation in the north of Syria, and were ruled by "kings." They are met with after the Exile still a distinct people (Ezra 9:1; Comp. Nehemiah 13:23-28). The Hebrew merchants exported horses from Egypt not only for the kings of Israel, but also for the Hittites (1 Kings 10:28, 29). From the Egyptian monuments we learn that "the Hittites were a people with yellow skins and `Mongoloid' features, whose receding foreheads, oblique eyes, and protruding upper jaws are represented as faithfully on their own monuments as they are on those of Egypt, so that we cannot accuse the Egyptian artists of caricaturing their enemies. The Amorites, on the contrary, were a tall and handsome people. They are depicted with white skins, blue eyes, and reddish hair, all the characteristics, in fact, of the white race" (Sayce's The Hittites). The original seat of the Hittite tribes was the mountain ranges of Taurus. They belonged to Asia Minor, and not to Syria. Thesaurus Hittites (39 Occurrences)... (2.)

PETA recently learned that a restaurant in Hermosa Beach, CA, was not-selling foie gras by changing their menu to say that its foie gras burger was now just a burger that happened to come with a free side of foie gras.
"We contacted the Hermosa Beach Police Department, but with a lot on their plates, they haven't gotten around to the case," writes the organization on its blog. "So we've taken the matter to court, filing suit against the restaurant… for engaging in unlawful business practices."
The restaurant in question also happens to be involved, along with other eateries, in a lawsuit against the state that calls the foie gras ban vague and unconstitutional.
Talking to NBC Los Angeles, the restaurant's chef defends his decision to continue serving the controversial dish. "Foie gras can be made humanely, and we continue to provide our customers with wholesome and humane animal products."

Supply list:
Cardboard box
hot glue
fabric (leftovers)
burlap or more fabric leftovers
Step 1:
Cut cardboard into shape you want for your wreath. I choose rectangle. You will want to cut 2 or three layers.
Step 2:
Glue your layers together. This allows for added stability!
Step 3:
Tear your fabric in 2 inch strips. I used old microfiber sheet that were left over from another project. Once your fabric is in strips glue one end to back of cardboard and start wrapping.
Once you have covered all the cardboard secure with more hot glue.
Step 4:
I added fabric flowers. Tutorial here.
Step 5:
Cut burlap into triangles.
Sew a straight stitch on all sides and create a spot to pull cord, fabric or as I used jute through to hold banner.
Step 6:
Write letters on burlap with a sharpie. Then string letters and secure to wreath with hot glue on the backside.

As I said, the characters seemed rather cheerful in the final scene in the captain's mess, so I think it's pretty clear that it's meant to be a happy ending, that Nadet convinced the Novans to trust the Enterprise crew and accept relocation.
Terra Nova is among the bottom 1% of all Star Trek, so I really don't see a point in wasting time analyzing the moral issues around it. Just my 2c
That one-percent is usually the episodes that offer the most stimulating discussions. I know the time I've spent discussing the bad episodes is far more than the time I've spent discussing the good episodes.
I can't understand why people hate Terra Nova. I thought it was interesting and touching. I liked seeing a failed colony years later and why.
It just seemed overly cliche to me from the name Terra Nova to the overused radition destroying civilization forcing the to live under ground and naturally hating the evil surface people who forced them to live like this. Not to mention the premise of the episode makes no sense. No one bothered to check in on this colony... ever? It's easier to go under ground and live there than to just... walk away? And why do weapons in Enterprise never hurt people?
Star travel wasn't easy before the Warp 5 engine. It would've taken months to get there, and with no certainty of what they'd find, maybe it wasn't deemed worth the risk. Although I suppose they could've asked the Vulcans to find out. Spending too much time above ground would kill them. A large portion of the planet was irradiated. They couldn't have walked far enough before they succumbed to the radiation. Remember, they had to be transplanted to a whole other continent on the other side of the planet. Not exactly within walking distance.
Of course it's not explained why no one asked the Vulcans to check it out.. but maybe the Vulcans have spent the last umpteen years making it very clear they will never check anything out for the humans? As to the cliche, I think we're all on a cliche arc where a particular one will just tip us over the edge on that topic.
A probe would seem a reasonable alternative to at least find out what happened. Even if for some reason it wasn't, you'd think a responsible government would still send a ship to find out what happened to their own people even if it wasn't easy. Especially after the quasi declarations of independence and a time period of over 50 years. Seems to me the more likely explanation was wanted a mystery even if it didn't really make sense. As for the radiation of the colony I was under the impression the meteor just irradiated the general area. Granted it's been awhile since I watched the episode, but I don't recall them saying the whole continent had been poisoned. I'm not a science expert, but I don't see how a meteor strike could do that to a whole half of a planet short of being big enough to virtually destroy all life on the planet. But Trek often is guilty of interchanging science for magic to suit plot needs. If other people like it, more power to you. It just always seemed force drama to no end for me.
Breaking the Ice and Two Days and Two Nights are my two mostly meh episodes I just like for some reason.
Didn't have to be. The radiation immediately after the impact could've been enough to cause acute radiation syndrome within hours, maybe a day or so. How far can you walk in a day? Maybe 30 miles or so? Less if you're getting sicker from radiation the longer you walk. So it wouldn't have needed to affect a huge area -- just a few dozen miles across.
I remember that a lot of the dislike towards Terra Nova came from it being too similiar to the Voyager episode Friendship One.
Yeah but you know some fans...if an episode plot is similiar in any way to another than they make a mountain out of a molehill.
If it's a question of excessive similarity, you'd think they'd be focusing on "Oasis," which is basically a rehash of DS9's "Shadowplay" right down to having Rene Auberjonois. Or "Doctor's Orders," which is a rehash of VGR's "One."
I guess the general themes are similar. I just remember Friendship One mostly for Carey's sudden and pointless death. But Enterprise did this quite often, revisting the franchises earlier episodes. In Oasis and and Doctor's orders as Christopher said. But Judgement also ripped of ST6 rather blatantly. 2 Day, 2 Nights is kinda like Captain's Holiday. And also E2 is one of the fan favorite episodes and is essentially a rip off of DS9's Children of Time. It's a mark against the episode, but doesn't necessarily disqualify it by itself.

Angry Birds CEO At Peace With Chinese Counterfeit Merchandise @ Techdirt.
There are a lot of Angry Birds products out there, but most of them aren't officially licensed. Angry Birds is now the most copied brand in China, and we get a lot of inspiration from local producers.
Right now, we've proven that there's demand, and we're going for 100 million downloads this year for Angry Birds, and again the same demand for the physical products.
The way we look at it is, of course we want to sell the officially licensed, good quality products, but at the same time we have to be happy about the fact that the brand is so loved that it is the most copied brand in China.
It's great for us to see the demand, and that's why we're building our own stores here. And actually we're building our first stores here, and not in Helsinki…
We hope to have quite a few over the next 12 months.

The crisis has advance to everywhere and even if signs of accretion are spotted actuality and there we are not out of the storm yet. Actually, we may accept to adjournment for one or two added years to be aback to "normal".
The Brainy Health Care Arrangement is no barring to this and is getting hit absolutely harder from abounding fronts.
Many states are abandoning their off-state audience in Residential Analysis Facilities (RTF) to atone for the abridgement of referrals. The botheration isn't that there aren't abundant humans with brainy issues to be referred, it's that the Agencies are not allotment as abounding humans as afore and are aswell blame for beneath treatments. There's one caveat: the animal apperception just doesn't plan the way they (would like to) anticipate and it's aswell absolutely absolute from the abridgement (no rocket science here).
I account that the apropos agencies are traveling through boxy times too, but these behavior are acutely adverse to clients. Treatments should not be "canned" and RTFs are no factories either. Each case has alone requirements (i.e.: time, resources, approach). If you wish to attention treatments as an accumulation line, well, it's not traveling to work.
Consider a kid with AD/HD, balmy MR, Autism or Psychosis. These types of disorders yield time to be advised or stabilized. We are not talking about a destroyed annoy or a torn camshaft, things that you fix. Treatments should endure as continued as they charge to and abridgement them will ultimately advance to failures.
To atone for the abridgement of psychiatric/developmental disabilities referrals, RTFs are demography in audience from a actual altered population: juveniles. The administrative arrangement is abounding with teenagers in agitation with the law which makes them a acceptable antecedent to be broke in this times of aridity (in a way, the recession is to be abhorrent for this too, but we are still not seeing the after-effects of it to the fullest. Adjournment for 5 years and you'll see). Families get marginalized due to abridgement of employment, abomination ante go up. The blueprint is appealing straightforward.
In this regard, RTFs board a half-way band-aid for these kids so they don't end up in jail. They accept a additional adventitious to get their almanac straight. If we go aback to the "shortening treatments" affair I'd say that sending these kids to adjustment is just a adjournment in their alley to lock-down. Success ante for this citizenry are already low (15-20%). Shorten treatments from 6 months/1 year to just 90 days, and abstracts are not difficult to make.
There is addition botheration that derives from this accomplished situation. Most residential programs are not tailored to board this population. On one hand, it requires a absolutely altered in-unit programming and analysis and on the other, these individuals co-exist in the aforementioned barrio with psychiatric audience and/or audience with brainy disabilities. In this complicated mural centers will accept a alarming task. Re-tailor their able-bodied akin programs to fit the new population.
As centers attempt to absorb their active beds in this new "high-client-turnover, low barometer rate" climate, they face added problems like academy districts that haven't paid them for years, allotment cuts from the government and added exigencies from allotment agencies.
Projections aren't acceptable either. Some centers accept accomplished their operations, laying off hundreds of advisers and banking accretion is in the abroad border (2012-2013). As continued as they can accumulate borrowing money they'll be accomplished (bigger organizations are bigger positioned) but if banknote doesn't breeze in, repaying those obligations is traveling to be hard. Which translates into a lower score, appropriately no added loans. Conclusion, bankruptcy.
I'd adulation to accomplishment the commodity on a college note, but to be honest, the abreast approaching looks kinda grim.

Britain's policy towards Saudi Arabia is a disgrace. It makes a mockery of our claims to have an ethical approach to bilateral relations with other countries, and it betrays a lickspittle way of dealing with autocratic regimes, which should be a source of embarrassment to people of any political persuasion.
In the latest episode of this cringe-making story, which we report exclusively today, Tobias Ellwood, the Foreign Office minister who a few weeks ago expressed the UK's "disappointment" at the Saudis' mass head-chopping of opponents, has now urged Saudi Arabia to do a "better job" of trumpeting its human rights successes. The progress to which he refers includes the right of women to vote in municipal elections and stand as candidates, and the permission granted for women to sit on the – powerless – Shura Council.
Mr Ellwood approaches his hosts as one would a dangerous maniac with a gun who must be flattered and cunningly cajoled into dropping his weapon and surrendering. But while the Saudi regime is indeed increasingly dangerous, rather than disarming it we continue plying it with arms as fast as we can.
Nor are these arms merely sitting in some stockpile against the evil day when Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi and his Isis forces come roaring over the border towards Mecca. They are being actively used in one of the ugliest of the many wars currently disfiguring our planet. This is the war that is raging in Yemen, where the Saudis head a coalition which has reduced that beautiful country – once upon a time known as Arabia Felix, "Happy Arabia" – to desolation and despair.
It is a war in which Britain is deeply complicit, as a result of which we are able to say nothing critical about it. Instead, we heap patronising and undeserved praise on this brutal regime for its "progress".
Everyone knows why Britain is so cosy with the Saudis: we buy their oil and sell them our arms. Added to that, since the ill-fated Arab Spring – however repellent their regime may be – they are the devil we know. It is better to have them in charge of Islam's holiest shrines, whatever architectural and archaeological vandalism they may wreak in the process, than letting Mecca and Medina slip into even more fanatical hands. If we have learnt anything from the misbegotten wars of the past 13 years, that is a lesson worth remembering.
But that is not the same as giving the Saudis a free pass, which is clearly Mr Ellwood's and the Foreign Office's settled intention.
Saudi Arabia is the most explosive element in the increasingly ferocious sectarian war between Sunni and Shia Islam, in which Yemen is just one bloody theatre. With the return of Shia Iran to the international community, that war risks becoming far more vicious, and the willingness of the Saudis to use violent jihadis as their proxy shock troops is likely to become unrestrained. The execution of Iran's Sheikh Nimr al-Nimr on 2 January was a provocative statement of intent.
The Saudis do not deserve our patronising pat on the head. Instead we should be holding this wretched regime – however important its continued existence – to account, denouncing its profligate use of capital and corporal punishment, freezing arms sales at least until it halts the destruction of Yemen, demanding the release of the blogger Raif Badawi and his lawyer. These would be the actions of a responsible friend of the country – not the obsequious kowtowing which has become our accustomed posture.

Summary note: | After witnessing his father's crucifixion by Roman soldiers, Daniel bar Jamin is fired by a single passion: to avenge his father's death by driving the Roman legions from the land of Israel. Consumed by hatred, Daniel joins the brutal raids of an outlaw band living in the hills outside his village. Though his grandmother's death slows his plans by forcing him to move home to care for his sister, he continues his dangerous life by leading a group of boy guerrillas in spying and plotting, impatiently waiting to take revenge. In nearby Capernaum, a rabbi is teaching a different lesson. Daniel is drawn to the teachings of Jesus of Nazareth, only to turn away, disappointed and confused by Jesus's lack of action in opposing the Romans. The Bronze Bow won the 1962 Newbery Medal for this magnificent novel of Daniel's tormented journey from a blind, confining hatred to his acceptance and understanding of love. |

text: Alan BrinkleyAlan Brinkley, professor of American History at Columbia University, stands as one of my favorite progressive historians of the New Deal. And his two major works, Voices of Protest and The End of Reform, are both excellent and thought-provoking tomes. Voices of Protest recounts the story of two insurgent populists -- Charlie Coughlin, the radio priest and Huey Long, the Louisiana Kingfisher -- and their influence on the flurry of legislation historically known as the "Second New Deal." Brinkley expertly recounts the shrewd appeal and bizarre failings of these two men, and how their populist programs were eventually subsumed by the master politican of the age, old FDR himself. Throughout, there is much interesting detail on the origins and character of populist movements in the United States. The End of Reform discusses the erosion of the New Deal after the 1937 recession and the experience of World War II. Brinkley notes how FDR, a consummate pragmatist, had held no design for recovery but rather relied on "bold experimentalism" to carry the day. Under this rubric of experimentalism, many different ideologies got their time in the sun, including budget-balancers, "New Freedom" decentralization, "New Nationalist" federalism, and Hoover-style associationalism. When the 1937 recession hit, destroying what little recovery had occurred since the Great Slump, FDR finally began to rely on what we now consider the New Deal's prime legacy - Keynesian fiscal spending. This emphasis on pump-priming [a.k.a. throwing money at problems, with no underlying civic mission] was set in stone by the financial necessities of the war effort. By the time the dust had settled in 1945, all other strands of progressivism had been discarded and forgotten, leaving only the convenient yet strangely disempowering monolith of "postwar liberalism" on the political landscape. Step by unfolding step, Brinkley relates the men of various philosophies who crafted the New Deal, and how they all ultimately came to embrace the tenets of the liberalism now floundering in our nation's capital. Brinkley is not only an expert historian but an able commentator on current events. He holds forth regularly in magazines such as Newsweek and The New Republic and is a strong advocate for progressive issues. Full disclosure: Professor Brinkley is currently my graduate advisor. This was written before I came to Columbia, but the sentiments expressed here stand. Go back to the Library. |

Frequently Asked Questions
What Will Happen To Us?
The first step is for you to decide on the course of action that is right for you — parenting, foster care and adoption are all viable solutions to an unplanned pregnancy. The counselors at FFTA will be there to help you make this pivotal decision. You need not be concerned that FFTA will pressure you into choosing adoption over the other alternatives — we understand that this is a highly personal decision, and promise to respect whatever decision you make.
If you do ultimately choose adoption, FFTA counselors will work with you to develop a personalized plan for you and your unborn baby. We will go over the adoption process with you in detail, either on the phone or in-person. And we will make sure that you understand your rights and options, including, most importantly, your right to choose the family that will raise your child.
What About The Dad?
Forever Families Through Adoption will make every effort to identify the biological father of an out-of-wedlock child. For children born in wedlock, the consent of your husband is necessary, unless FFTA obtains proof that he is not the biological father.
Please note that New York State law offers you the right to not name the biological father of your child. Should you choose to identify the biological father of the child, FFTA will attempt to contact him and then involve him in the process of adoption, from the development of the adoption plan to the exchange of information with the adoptive parents before and after adoption. Forever Families Through Adoption, Inc. will also link the biological father to counseling services if necessary, including support groups or individual therapy, as needed.
As a part of the adoption process, an FFTA representative is required to give the biological father, if known, the option to accept or deny the paternity of the child who is being placed for adoption. Should the biological father deny paternity of the out-of-wedlock child, he will be asked to do so in writing, in documents prepared by FFTA.
Should the biological father admit paternity, but not be willing or able to plan for the child, Forever Families Through Adoption will ask for a voluntary surrender of the biological father's rights to the child, assuming that it's in the child's best interests. A representative from FFTA will then accompany him to Court in order to execute those documents so as to relinquish any parental rights he might later decide to assert. Should the biological father be unwilling to voluntarily surrender his rights to the child, FFTA will take the necessary steps to terminate his parental rights without his consent. Note that FFTA will not place an out-of-wedlock child without the identified and acknowledged biological father's consent, his surrender or termination of his parental rights. Furthermore, in accordance with New York State law, an adoptive child will not be placed without the biological father's active consent if he has earned "Consent rights," either by paying for the child or by offering to provide such support, or by holding himself out as the father during the six months prior to a placement.
For more information on the legal rights of birth fathers in adoptions, click to read an article by Amy Silverberg or to read an article from the New York Times.
What's The Next Step?
You may call toll free (866) 922-3678 or direct or collect (914) 939-1180, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, to speak with a counselor at FFTA. If you are unable to call, you may complete this information form and either send it to FFTA at 62 Bowman Avenue, Rye Brook, NY 10573 or fax it to (914) 939-1181. Someone will reach out to you the day we receive it.
Please remember, you do have options. FFTA's highly trained and experienced staff is here to provide you with confidential counseling regarding your pregnancy, as well as to help you choose among your alternatives. Should your choice ultimately be adoption, FFTA will work closely with you to help you make the best decisions for you and your baby, and to arrange for the emotional and financial support you both will need throughout the process.
