Much like Ben Franklin's kite experiment... Map of the Caribbean...
Item # 631779 THE GENTLEMAN'S MAGAZINE, London, August, 1756 The first two pages are devoted to the "Caribee Islands" [Caribbean] primarily limited to text on Barbadoes (see photos for portions). But of greater significance is the great foldout map labeled: "A Map of the CARIBBEE ISLANDS Shewing which belong to England, France, Spain, Dutch, & Danes..." (see). This map folds out to measure 8 1/2 by 14 inches and is in very nice, clean condition with several folds and one crease, neither distracting. This map is rarely found within the issue; more typically removed years ago.
Further inside the issue is a very detailed 2 1/2 pg. article on: "A Paper Kite Electrified by a Storm", by M. de Romas, being an experiment very much like Ben Franklin's a bit earlier. Indeed, a footnote includes: "M. de Romas has been satisfied...that Mr. Franklin had made trial of a kite some time before in Pennsylvania, the result where is therein described, see vol. xxii, pg. 560, which indeed was far less extraordinary than that at Nerac..." with more about the difference between this experiment and Franklin's (see).
Another full pg. is taken up with: "...the following table of names of numbers of several Indian nations..." (see).
Near the back are a few items concerning the French & Indian War.
Complete in 48 pages, full title/index page, 5 by 8 inches, in great condition.

GridSmart Energy
GridSmart provides energy consulting services to medium and large commercial, property managers, industrial, and governmental entities. GridSmart maintains a number of key differentiators, but one of the primary differences is that we develop customized solutions to meet each specific customer's needs, as opposed to a one-size-fits-all approach.
ONE THING i AM NOTICING IS THAT MOST DESIGNERS ARE MAKING "ENERGY" SMALLER THAN "GRIDSMART" THEY SHOULD BE THE SAME SIZE, OR NEARLY THE SAME SIZE
Our website, http://www.gridsmart-energy.com, should give you a better idea of the services we offer and the overall approach.
You should also know that GridSmart is a small firm (4 employees) and the average age is about 30 or younger. We have experienced explosive growth since starting in 2008 because we maintain significantly more market expertise than our competitors. Most of our competitors are salesman, not consultants, and they offer an extremely narrow service. GridSmart, on the other hand, evaluates each customer's specific needs and develops a program and strategy designed for them. We are also able to keep our fees low by keeping overhead down and automating a number of tasks.
Brand Name: GridSmart Energy (or just GridSmart) - you can stylize like the website or not
Target Audience: Executives at large corporations, property managers, government officials, etc. Our smallest customers spend at least $2 million per year on energy and most are much larger.
GridSmart is about saving firms money on energy, reducing energy waste, and auditing bills to make sure there are no mistakes. We are a young and energetic firm with incredible passion for what we do. Moreover, we are incredibly cost effective at about 1/2 the price of our major competitors. However, you don't sacrifice anything with GridSmart, in fact you get more. Most firms focus solely on energy purchasing and nothing else, whereas GridSmart purchases energy but also provides a broad range of other services.
We are trying to communicate sophistication, comprehensiveness, trustworthiness, and expertise.

You know we love you, too! But it really, really makes me smile to see you love on us... gotta admit that. : DReplyDelete
Congratulations on being picked for a Cybils award finalist! That is so awesome! I love those icons too. Some of them are hilarious :P I'm rereading Lola right now, btw. It's just as good as the first time around, maybe better.ReplyDelete
Ah! I remember that blog post! Back when you had blue hair…ReplyDelete
And I don't think I've actually congratulated you on the nom. So yeah. CONGRATS! You be awesome.
LOL omg the icons rock!! Thank you for sharing.ReplyDelete
Congrats on all the goodness going on. You so deserve it. :)
You know I love the icons, I wounder if I can make on into a badge for my library bag.ReplyDelete
Woot Woot for nomination!!!
I was just thinking about how I was so lost before book blogs, goodreads & twitter it was so much harder to find awesome books.
Congrats!! And those icons are precious. :)ReplyDelete
My eyes are popping out of my face! (And yes, I'm sorry if you feel weird that I did use that photo of you in the photographic St. Clair iconset -- did you know that if you google "le point zero," it's among the first images to come up? *grin*)ReplyDelete
I am flattered/humbled/EXTRAORDINARILY GLAD that you like the icons. (Particularly the dirty Lola one, which I debated deleting. Glad I didn't!)
Congrats on the nomination, I really hope you'll win.ReplyDelete
I like those icons, and the ... cucumber one seizes one of my favourite passages of the book.
I feel so shut out here in Germany from the whole book loving world, because there's hardly ever any book signing events ... :(
By the way, will you add a playlist of Lola, too? I already posted one on my blog of what I was listening to while reading the book, so it would be really interesting to see yours. Especially because I like your taste in music so far; listening to Sigur Rós is always a plus.ReplyDelete
- Ava W.1:52 AM GMT-5
Hi, Stephanie!ReplyDelete
I completely and totally support your decision of delaying Isla, but I do have one question...
Does the delay mean you won't be attending Comic-Con International this year? We met at last year's convention (I was the girl with really curly hair, I was shaking, and you and Kiersten signed the same piece of paper in my journal. It was AH-mazing), and I was hoping to see you again. If not, it'll be totally okay, of course, but I was curious and thought I'd ask. When Isla comes out next year, I'm sure I'll see you...
Thank you for writing your stories, and being wonderful.
- Ava
I knew you were super awesome way back when I first started reading your blog. : ) So glad to have been right!ReplyDelete
I'm losing it over those icons. LOVE.ReplyDelete
It's thanks to book bloggers that I stumbled across your books, so I have to thank them as well. Book bloggers rock SO hard.
And no, that wasn't meant to be dirty. =P
Congrats on the Cybil nom! You totally deserve it! Enjoy!
Congrats! You deserve it. I work in children's publishing and everyone I talk to raves about your books. I just read Anna and the French Kiss and can only agree how right they are!ReplyDelete
Number 1: HUZZAH for the nomination!!!ReplyDelete
Number 2: *googles for more dirty icons*
Number 3: I love your black and white mittens... and your hat... and your coat... No wonder Lola has such an amazing fashion sense :D
love this picture! :) I can't wait to one day visit it. I've done the Dolores Park Tour ;)ReplyDelete

By Nam Hari Kaur
It has been a busy six months, and now it is time to rest. The month of July is intended as a time of relaxation and rejuvenation. Number 7 represents sanctuary, and the importance of aligning with a softer and slower pace of life. Seven also resonates with nature and the great outdoors. We have been through so much in the first half of the year, requiring a "stepping back from" in order to process and make sense of it all.
July is a "less is more" season of time.
Music and Fun
Seven embodies the themes of music and singing, so this is a perfect time to head out to a music festival. Whether it's a concert in the park or the Moksha Festival (http://www.mokshafestival.com/about) in Topanga Canyon, hitch up the covered wagon and get going! If your festivities are by the water it's all the merrier, as 7 is the Water Element. You will find it easier to navigate this month if you tell yourself, "I will be like water, smooth and flowing." Water always takes the path of least resistance, and this is a good modus operandi for now.
New Relationships
Strike up the fiddle, because July is an excellent time for new relationships! The Heart number for this month is an 11, and 11 represents a higher octave of relationship potential. This would not only be relationships of a romantic nature, it could also be in the areas of friendship, business, or community. There is a sparkling electricity at play in the unfolding rhythm of life, and you don't want to miss a minute of it!
Heightened Manifesting
Now, here's the really good stuff: there was a huge energetic shift that happened on planet Earth this past Summer Solstice, and it has to do with a heightened potential for manifestation through our mental projections and spoken word. "As I speak so it shall be," is the new order of the day. Better get your mantra on, because the frequencies of the Sound Current of Infinity are the zenith of the spoken word spectrum.
Pivot Point
Through a simple, consistent meditation practice you can now break free from the entanglements of the first half of the year. They were only meant to perfectly illustrate where your illusions about people or situations were leading you in the wrong direction. Gain your power back by affirming, "Been there, done that," and get back on the high road of your life purpose.
Since all of us may not be able to hide away in a mountain sanctuary next to a babbling brook and hot spring, let's take a look at some of the more practical aspects of July for those of us still dealing with mainstream life. Because of an underlying desire to escape from anything which feels like a commitment, you will notice that people will be slippery (water element!) or noncommittal in their communication. There will be a lot of, "Ah, I'll get back to you later on that." It really is best not to pressure anyone at this time, it will only create more vagueness, potentially leading to resentment. Give everyone emotional space, and know that things will naturally begin to fall into place after the 22nd of July. Don't push the river.
Pilot Wave
You can begin to consider ideas for the future, just keep the intention in a gentle and flexible tone. What is most important and preciously critical, is that you now begin to reconnect with your Pilot Wave. What is your "Pilot Wave"? It is the frequency of your Soul's intention and greater creative potential. This vibration was emitted from your Soul at birth, and holds the frequency which attracts all your best opportunities and connections with others. It's where you want to be! The problem is that many of us got slammed with a psychotic GPS navigational system during our childhood, so we keep asking the question, "Why is this not where I want to be?"
Since you are really tired of this endless re-run of a TV show you don't like, change the channel. (Easy for you to say, Oh great numbers Wizard!). The good news is that it's easier than you think. Sit down, bring your hands together into prayer pose, and chant elevan Long Sat Nam's. After you have done this, say to yourself, "I am reconnected with my Pilot Wave, all my creativity is flowing, I am aligned with my spirit partners, we are flowing together in Light and Joy." Do this for 40 days and see what happens.
It doesn't take a lot to re-adjust ourselves to the higher ground, it just requires a consistency to keep ourselves there. You are so precious, do not let the echos of the past convince you otherwise. Regain yourself, now is the time.
Would you like to know more? Nam Hari can do a personal reading for you over the phone or by skype. The numbers of your birth date hold the answers to your life's beautiful expression and creative magic. Nam Hari specializes in the area of relationships, and can illustrate the diagonal and parallel lines of energy between you and another. Information is power, and the empowered path awaits your first step.

The scene: A diatom is out of its oceanic habitat and on a couch, talking to a therapist. The diatom is stressed. It can't ever seem to get enough nutrients. And it's feeling underappreciated ...
Diatom: People just don't seem to understand. Without me and all the other phytoplankton producing oxygen via photosynthesis, people wouldn't have half the oxygen they need to breathe! We're also the base of the ocean food chain that supports the fish they eat, and all the carbon dioxide I take up from the air to make into my body would still be in the atmosphere, making the earth heat up. Why can't they see how important I am?
Therapist: I'm hearing that you feel undervalued. Why do you think it is that people don't understand?
Diatom: I suppose it's because I'm so small. They can't see me without a microscope, so I might as well not exist! But that's not my main problem. I can go on fine without humans knowing how much they depend on me. The thing that's really getting me down is all this stress I'm under.
Therapist: Tell me what you mean. What's causing this stress?
Diatom: Well, it's a bit of a long story. I'll start from the beginning. Since I do photosynthesis for a living, sunlight is my energy, and carbon dioxide from the atmosphere is my sustenance. But in order to grow, I need other ingredients, too, like nitrogen, iron, and vitamins. I use these ingredients in a specific ratio, just like a recipe. So, for example, even if there is plenty of nitrogen around in the ocean, unless there is also enough iron, I can't grow. Whatever runs out first— that's called a "limiting nutrient."
Therapist: I see. Why this is causing you such stress right now?
Diatom: So, I live in the Southern Ocean around Antarctica. The waters there have plenty of nitrogen for me to use, but there is almost never enough iron to go around. I have to compete with other phytoplankton for my iron, and I also have to compete with bacteria. It's particularly annoying that I have to share this scarce resource with the bacteria, because the way they get by in life is only through exploiting the carbon that we phytoplankton make for them. It just seems unfair!
Therapist: Correct me if I'm wrong, but it sounds to me like there's more to this story.
Diatom: Uh, I suppose. My relationship with those bacteria—well, it's complicated. Even though they take that scarce iron from me when I need it most, I just can't live without them. When the bacteria grow and die, they release vitamin B12 into the water. I need that B12 to grow. And just like iron, it's in short supply relative to the other ingredients I need. Without enough of those bacteria growing, I can't get enough vitamin B12. Without enough iron or B12, I get really stressed! It's just a bad cycle.
Therapist: It seems almost like sibling rivalry. You and the bacteria are dependent on each other, but at the same time, you're also competing with each other for iron. That's quite a delicately balanced relationship you have to negotiate there in the Southern Ocean. What are some strategies you use to try to cope with this stress?
Diatom: Life really gets difficult for me when I start to get starved for iron or vitamin B12. First, I try harder to get these missing nutrients. I make more of proteins that I use to find and transport the iron or vitamin from the seawater into my cell. I also make more of the proteins that I need to move the iron or vitamin around inside my cell. This way, as soon as I find the nutrients I need, I'm ready to use them.
Therapist: These seem like good strategies. But what happens if they don't work?
Diatom: Well, I try to get by with less of whatever I'm feeling starved for. Sometimes I can substitute some other nutrient for the scarce ones, but this doesn't always work very well. I just can't work as efficiently when I'm starved, but I can make do and grow more slowly for a while. If supplies of these nutrients are too low, I just won't survive. You can see why this is causing me such anxiety.
Therapist: Yes, your reaction seems perfectly natural. Let's try to think of ways to manage this stress. Are there any ways you could predict what nutrients you are going to be starved for?
Diatom: Well, I'm not sure. I know that oceanographers are looking into this, too. They want to know what nutrients starve me and the other phytoplankton. But they don't seem much better than me at predicting which nutrients are limiting how much we can grow. Until a couple of years ago, the scientists weren't even sure we could be limited by the lack of vitamin B12!
Therapist: That's interesting. Go on.
Diatom: One way scientists find out about what controls our growth is to take some of us out of the ocean, put us in bottles, add different nutrients, and watch to see which make us grow faster. This doesn't make a lot of sense to me, because I know that being in a bottle can make us plankton respond to nutrients differently than we do growing in the ocean. There just has to be a better way.
Therapist: Yes, yes. But I'm afraid we are out of time; let's pick this up again next session.
The following week.
Therapist: I did some research after last week's session and found something that may help. It seems that some scientists are actually finding new ways to learn about what starves you phytoplankton. Really. The way they are doing this is by looking closely at changes in the way you grow when you are starved for specific nutrients, particularly vitamin B12. They are just learning how to measure those coping strategies you told me about last week. They have developed new technologies that allow them to detect and measure the proteins that organisms make when they are grown under different conditions.
Diatom: Are you saying that ocean scientists think they can tell when we phytoplankton feel starved for B12 just by watching what kinds of proteins we make? They actually are interested enough in phytoplankton to make new methods to do this?
Therapist: That's right. When the scientists grew some of you in the laboratory, they noticed that there were a few proteins that you make more of when you are starved for the vitamin, but not when you are starved for other nutrients. They call these proteins "B12-starvation indicator proteins."
Diatom: They come up with fancy names, those scientists. If only they could learn how to measure those—what did they call them, B12 … starvation indicator proteins?—if only they could measure them in the ocean instead of just in the lab! If they did, they could figure out what controls all the patterns and processes that lead to us getting starved for vitamin B12. I'd sure love to know that. Then I could be prepared for the stress. That would make life so much easier!
Therapist: I know that they are doing their best. In order to use these measurements to learn about what stresses you, the scientists will need to measure these proteins from within a very complex mixture of many thousands or even millions of other proteins in the ocean, and they must also be sure they understand why you make this protein. They are getting closer!
Diatom: Wow, that's great news. I feel a little better already. It's comforting to think that those scientists aren't overlooking me and care so much about me and my stress!
This research was supported by a National Science Foundation (NSF) Graduate Research Fellowship and an Environmental Protection Agency STAR Fellowship, the WHOI Ocean Ventures Fund, the NSF Ocean Sciences Division and Office of Polar Programs, and the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation.About the author: Erin Bertrand has worked to measure nutrient stress in diatoms in Mak Saito's lab in the WHOI Marine Chemistry and Geochemistry Department, as part of her research for her Ph.D. from the MIT/ WHOI Joint Program in Oceanography. She has been interested in how the availability of metals in the environment affects microscopic organisms ever since she started conducting research as an undergraduate at Bates College. When she is not growing diatoms, extracting proteins, taking samples of phytoplankton in Antarctica, or running the mass spectrometer, she likes to hike or run in the woods, listen to live music, or cook something new for her friends and family. Her mentor on this article was Heather Goldstone, a science journalist for WCAI radio (and a graduate of the MIT/WHOI Joint Program).

It's a big story in Canuck land that Rick Rypien has taken an indefinite leave of absence from the Canucks due to personal issues. Unfortunately for some out there, the lack of explanation as to why Rick Rypien has left is not enough. There are some out there that feel that the Canucks forward and the Canucks organization need to specify the reason for his leave. To the some out there, I personally feel, Rypien or nor the Canucks need to explain anything to any of us.
There has been speculation of his mental wellness. There has been speculation of possible substance abuse or alcoholism. What is it really to us? Unless we're willing to personally help Rypien through his personal reason, why are we so curious?
I was going through some hockey boards and this issue came up and some of the posters on a few of these boards were completely disrespectful with the accusations and their judgments on Rypien. Some of the comments were down-right mean and classless. To some of the posters on the Rypien thread on Calgary Flames fan board and another Canucks fan board, you people ought to be ashamed of yourselves. I will leave it at that.
We are all human, we all make mistakes, we all do wrong things and we all have to learn from our experiences. I know personally, I have done the aforementioned, and try live my life to better myself from my mistakes. Rick Rypien is no different from you or I. He just happens to have a job that is under a microscope in this city, and in our nation.
We all deserve privacy in matters that are happening our lives whether they are small or big. Generally, we don't want everyone 'getting up in our grill' and making judgments of situations in our lives to which they are ignorant. Rick Rypien deserves that same respect. Not because he is a hockey player, not because he is a public figure but because he is a human being, like us.
Personally, this whole thing is a personal matter, and it should be treated as so. Let's back off and stop pressing, assuming, speculating, accusing, and pointing fingers at Rick. Instead, let's support him as good fans and more so as fellow humans. We'll see you when you get back, Rick, but until then, keep fighting the good fight and good luck.

|North Texas Endangered Species - a Residential Yield Sign
For the Record, Motorists Behave Just as They Would if it'd Been a Stop Sign
One solution to stop sign mayhem is the replacement of most stop signs with what is an endangered species, namely the Yield Sign at locations other than freeway onramps. I made a detour on my way home from work to take a photo of the only such sign I know of that is in North Texas. I LOVE THAT SIGN!!!!!!!!!!!
A second solution would be to adopt my "equal opportunity Idaho stop" law.
However, I decided to reread the Texas Statutes about stop and yield signs. As it turns out, there is an easy solution. The law, as it currently stands, follows:
Of course, it isn't very inspired, and probably doesn't conform to the traffic device rules, but I don't claim to be a traffic engineer. If you were determined to pander to people on bikes, you could make the sign "Cyclists treat as yield." If you were an animal lover, you could make it "Dog Carts Need Not Stop." I'll bet each of you could come up with a dozen variants. For example, PaddyAnne might want one saying "Bikes With COOL Bells Treat as Yield." John Romeo Alpha might want "Stop if you Don't Get Up and Go Ride." In Austin, they might want signs saying "Treat as Yield if You are a Longhorn." Still, personally, all humor aside, I think such stop sign supplements, to be generally understood, ought to be simple and nondiscriminatory. What's more, sign proliferation is NOT a good thing. Traffic works as well as it does because the rules are simple and few. THAT, more than anything else, is the problem with much new bike stuff such as bike boxes and green paint - it confuses people. KISS is an honored principle.
I can think of hundreds of places these little gems could go. And, while they might remain endangered, the few remaining Yield signs around could take comfort that many other signs were with them in the spirit of Texas 545.153(c).
Pre-emptive war was not a "Bush" thing. From 1972, Randy Newman sings an anthem of why you don't want the nuclear thing to get out of control. To video from Dr Strangelove, inspired by Los Alamos Bikes.

If You Don't Work For This Company, You'll Kick Yourself Later!
A while ago, I argued the best company for me isn't necessarily the best company for you. I still stand by that statement. But many of you have been pounding at my email door and practically twisting my arm asking me for my personal favorite legitimate work at home companies. I was apprehensive about revealing this information because I really want you guys to take action on any legitimate work at home opportunities. But after giving it some thought, it made sense for me to provide you with a few of the ones I do actively work with, to get your started. But keep in mind I still believe that you should make decisions based on what's best for you. So with that said, check out my latest video on one of my favorite BBB listed work at home companies. I've been working with this company for years and have made some great money and also acquired a lot of free gadgets such as TVs, Ipods, and much more. (The gadget thing will become a lot clearer when you watch the video.) In either case this company has consistently made me money and has a good standing among work at home seekers that are smart enough to join the company and take advantage of all the ways to earn with them. Hopefully you'll enjoy the video and will decide to join the company I've recommended.
One of My Favorite BBB Listed Work At Home Company continued...
What's The Best Work At Home Company?
I know that question has been on your mind since the day you started looking for work from home.
There are just so many so called work at home opportunities out there, that it's mind boggling! Some of the companies
are great and others are just scum of the earth trying to steal your wallet! So would you like me to put you out your misery
and reveal what the best legitimate work at home company is? I was struggling with the decision of whether or not
to share this valuable informaton. Afterall It's took me about 10+ years to figure out.
But I think I'm finally ready to come clean. Trust me when I say you'll be shocked.

Can You Tell Which Company or Website Is A Scam?
I receive at least 2 emails a day asking me for my expert opinion on a given company or website.
Is so and so a legitimate company? Should I pay $49.95 to work with DataEntryBlahBlah.com?
Honestly I'm not that much of an expert. I just know how to do a little research. If you're
currently thinking about joining a work at home company and a fee is one of the requirements,
put your wallet or purse down. Before you make a decision that you might regret, watch the video we created. By the end of
watching this video, you'll never question whether or a not a company is a scam. You'll know
with certainty if it is!

Rebate Processor Jobs, Scam or Work At Home Miracle?
Suppose I was to tell you that I would pay you up to $15 to process rebates from various

Chances are you would be! I know I would be too! Lucky for you that I stumbled across some crazy back door information
about the rebate processors position that's going to knock your socks off. Trust me when I say

Disney's Animal Kingdom Theme Park
DinoLand U.S.A.
Valid Park Admission Required
All Ages
40 minutes
Based on the hit animated movie, this must-"sea" adventure makes a splash with spectacular music and stunning theatrical puppetry.
Dive right into the heart, humor and characters of Finding Nemo with this musical version of the award-winning Disney•Pixar film.
In this 40-minute show, original songs bring the big, blue world to life, along with extraordinary puppets and vibrant sets that plunge you right into the depths of Nemo's fin-tastic terrain. Performed on a stage flanked by big bubbles, the musical numbers shimmer with wondrous underwater effects created with innovative lighting, dynamic props and animated projections.
The show reels you in with the heart-tugging tale of the overprotective clownfish father searching for his lost son.
This big fish story tracks the harrowing adventures of Marlin, his newfound friend Dory and son Nemo in the Great Barrier Reef and beyond. Watch for a special appearance of the turtle Crush with a puppet as big as a car, and the towering pelican Nigel, whose head nearly reaches the roof. The story sails its course and ends with the song "In the Big, Blue World."
The new musical numbers take their cue from lines from the movie, including "Just Keep Swimming" and "Go with the Flow." There are 14 original songs composed by Robert Lopez, who won the Tony Award for Avenue Q, and Kristen Anderson-Lopez, who wrote the a cappella musical Along the Way. This is the first time that Disney has taken a non-musical animated feature and transformed it into an original musical production.
The puppeteers are cleverly camouflaged, yet they deliver outstanding performances in concert with their colorful cohorts. The characters come to life through an array of puppetry styles, including rod, bunraku and shadow.

Nearly Wordless Wednesday - Gertrude and Minnie Eller and Joe Davies
Gertrude "Gert" (Eller) Davies and her sister Mary Ann "Minnie" Eller, walking Gert's son Joe Davies into the ocean (or trying to). Very cute family moment. Gert and Minnie's sister Myrtle ("Mert") did her best to duck out of frame. Oops.
There is nothing about this picture I do not love.

The yen weakened beyond 100 per dollar for the first time in four years as the Bank of Japan's deflation-fighting measures have the currency headed for its longest streak of monthly losses in almost two decades.
The dollar strengthened against most its major counterparts as a report showed U.S. claims for jobless benefits unexpectedly dropped to the lowest level in more than five years, adding to speculation the U.S. will curtail stimulus before central banks in Europe and Japan. The yen has dropped 4.2% since April 4 when BOJ Governor Haruhiko Kuroda outstripped economist forecasts by pledging to double monthly bond purchases and scoop up longer-term debt to reach a 2% annual inflation goal. The yen last traded at 100 on April 14, 2009.
"Signs of an improving U.S. job market have finally chipped away and made a difference against the yen," Joe Manimbo, a market analyst at Western Union Business Solutions, a unit of Western Union Co., said in a phone interview from Washington. "We've seen these brightening prospects for the U.S. job market, a burst of news last week with the payrolls number, and again today with the weekly jobless claims tally."
The yen dropped 1.5% to 100.55 per dollar as of 3:55 p.m. in New York after falling as much as 1.8%, the biggest drop since April 2009. It earlier appreciated as much as 0.4%. Japan's currency fell 0.6% to 131.04 per euro. The dollar rose 0.9% versus the shared currency to $1.3033.
Treasury Auction
Japan's currency extended gains and accelerated beyond 100 after a Treasury auction of $16 billion in 30-year bonds produced a lower-than-forecast yield.
"There has been a compelling argument that Japanese investing should be flooding into Treasuries," said Eric Lascelles, the chief economist at Toronto-based Royal Bank of Canada Global Asset Management, which oversees $280 billion. "We've certainly seen a lot of front running of that effort, but there has been very little evidence of actual flows."
While Kuroda's April 4 announcement spurred speculation that domestic money managers would seek higher yields in the U.S. and other markets, Japanese investors cut holdings of overseas debt for a sixth-straight week in the period ended April 19, the longest streak since January 2010, Ministry of Finance data show. The MOF is scheduled to report the data, covering the past two weeks, this evening.

3 - work and family
PDF Version (281 KB)
Stress and the tension between work and family are increasing. Major changes in American familiesand the lack of corresponding changes in many workplace policies and practicesare the causes. Balancing work and family responsibilities, particularly the responsibilities of child and elder care, will remain issues in the workplace of the future, touching each of us at some point in our work lives, whether in the role of parent, spouse, or caregiver to our own aging parents.
Managing a household and a family is an important and time-consuming job. Adult workers, especially parents of at-home children, have always had family responsibilities that have at times conflicted with workplace demands. However, two factorsmore families with both parents in the workforce and more one-parent familieshave increased the opportunity for conflict between family and work. Perhaps the most important factor increasing the tension between work and family is the increased number of women in the workforce.1 The increase in the proportion of women working or looking for work that began after World War II has been one of the most significant social and economic trends in modern U.S. history.2In 1940, 28 percent of American women were in the workforce.3 This rose to 40 percent in 1966, 51 percent in 1979, and 60 percent in 1998. In 1940, one in four workers was a woman;4 by 1998, almost one in two workers was. (See chart 3.1.) Today, husbands are the sole worker in fewer than one-quarter of married-couple families.5
Researchers have suggested that wives have entered the workforce largely in response to womens rising labor market opportunities, not in response to declining employment opportunities for their husbands.6 Other factors in the increased participation of women likely include the need for a second income to keep up with the rising cost of living, the changed attitudes about a womans role in the family, and reduced workplace discrimination against women.7
The rapid increase in womens labor force participation slowed in the 1990s and is not expected to continue into the future. The slowdown was caused partly by a decline in participation among young women who stayed in school longer and partly by the longterm slowdown in growth in participation among women in the prime working-age group.8 (See chart 3.2.)
This slower rate of growth will continue between 1996 and 2006, according to Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) projections. However, growth in labor force participation will be notice-able among 45-to-64-year-olds who will be more likely to work than were middle-aged women in the past.9
|Text Version
Because an increasing proportion of women work, their earnings have become more important to family income. In fact, the percentage of dual-earner couples in which wives earned more than husbands increased from 16 percent in 1981 to 23 percent in 1997.10 Almost one in four wives now earns more than her husband, a proportion likely to increase in the future as more women break through the "glass ceiling" to the executive suite, move into higher-paying occupations, and devote a larger percentage of their adult lives to work.
The increasing number of mothers in the work-force has created time conflicts for many families. Families are trying to find alternative ways to do the work traditionally done by the stay-at-home Mom. Some is done by other family members, some is bought from third parties (daycare workers, housekeepers, take-out restaurants, accountants, and the like), and some is simply left undone.
The proportion of working mothers with children under six rose even faster than the proportion of all women in the workforce. In 1998, almost three out of four women with children were in the workforce (see chart 3.3.), though growth in the percentage of mothers-with-young-children who worked had begun leveling off in the early 1990s, as did the growth for all women.
Between 1969 and 1996, the number of working married women with children increased by 84 percent. By 1998, two-thirds of all mothers in married-couple families were employed.11
|Text Version
The number of working mothers has increased for varied reasons. More women today may return to work after having children because they were firmly established in the workforce before childbirth.12 Women with employer-pro-vided leave are also more likely to return to work after childbirth, as are women whose income is a substantial portion of total family income. And mothers are more likely to return if they have spousal support, work part-time, or have other "flexibility benefits" like telecommuting, the ability to avoid overtime hours, and supervisor and coworker support.13
Single parents who work not only face the challenge of raising children without the assistance of another parent in the home, but they usually must do so with much less income than a two-parent family. Working single parents often face both a "time crunch" and a "money crunch."
The number of single-parent families, especially those headed by women, has increased significantly since the 1960s. In fact, the proportion of single-parent families has more than doubled over the last 30 years, up from 11 percent in 1970 to 27 percent of family households with children today.14
The percent of single mothers15 with children under 18 who work increased from 53 percent in 1969 to 66 percent in 1996.16 About three of every five mothers with children under age six are employed. Over the last 23 years, the percent of mothers employed with spouses present grew more rapidly than the percent of single mothers employed.17
In recent years, the growth in households headed by single fathers outpaced the growth in those households headed by single mothers, but men still make up only one in six single parents. Single fathers grew from 1.7 million in 1995 to 2.1 million in 1998. There is likely to be a continued increase in the number of custodial fathers as gender equality increases.
Many workers must care for dependents other than children. About 7.3 million Americans age 15 and over, or 4 percent of the population residing in households, have difficulty performing one or more of the following activities: bathing, dressing, eating, using the toilet, and getting into or out of a bed or chair. More than half of this population requires the assistance of another person to perform these activities. Family members are the primary source of such assistance. Spouses are the most common providers (38 percent), followed by daughters (19 percent), other relatives (12 percent), and sons (8 percent). Only 9 percent of those needing assistance use paid providers.18
In 1996, 22.4 million U.S. households (almost 20 percent) provided informal care to a relative or friend age 50 or older, or had done so in the previous year. Employers report an increase in the number of requests for time off to care for aging parents. For example, at State Street Corporation in Boston, unpaid time off for elder care now accounts for 15 percent of all leave requests, up from 8 percent 2 years ago. In 1998 at BankBoston, 50 percent of extended family leave involved care of elderly relatives.19
In 1996, more than 4 million households spent at least 40 hours a week in caregiving for the elderly; 1.6 million spent 20 to 40 hours a week.20 Nearly 2 out of 3 family caregivers are working, 52 percent full time and 12 percent part time.
Because almost three-quarters of current caregivers are women, any rise in family caregiving will likely have a greater impact on women in the workforce than on men. Many caregivers must also balance the demands of marriage and parenting with care-giving. Sixty-six percent of caregivers are married, while more than 41 percent have one or more children under age 18 living in their households.21
The Families and Work Institute estimates that about 42 percent of workers will provide some form of elder care by 2002.22 BLS projects the growth rate of 65-to-74-year-olds in the civilian noninstitutional population to decrease and of those 75 and over to increase in the next 5 or 6 years. However, over the longer term, the ratio of those 65 and older to those likely to be in the workforce is expected to increase significantly, placing more demands on the working caregivers of the elderly.
The need for family caregiving may have pro-found implications for the future. A 1997 study estimated the aggregate cost of caregiving in lost production to U.S. businessabsenteeism, costs of hiring replacements for those forced to leave because of caregiving responsibilities, workday interruptions, and employee health and mental careat $11.4 billion per year. Workers have had to modify their worklives to meet the demands of caregiving. While only six percent of workers pro-viding care report having to give up work entirely as a result of caregiving, more than half have had to make changes at work, such as leaving early, going in late, changing to part time, or taking time off during the day to accommodate caregiving.23
The need for affordable child care and elder care constrains some adults from entering the workforce. For others, however, it creates jobs. (See chapter 4, Workplaces, on growth in the services sector.) An estimated 10 to 20 percent of nonworking mothers with young children do not seek employment because child care is not available or affordable. In addition, about 20 to 25 percent of employed mothers would work longer hours if they did not have childcare constraints.24
In the fall of 1994, only about six percent of preschool children were cared for by their mothers in the workplace or while their mothers worked at home. Forty-three percent received primary care from relatives other than their mothers, and about 29 percent went to an organized facility such as a daycare center. The number of children cared for in organized facilities has increased by five percentage points since 1987. Poor families, those receiving government assistance, and mothers who work part time or on shifts other than day shifts rely more on relatives for child care (over 50 percent).25
Childcare problems do not end once children are in first grade. In some ways, these problems become more difficult because part-day child care is needed and it can be harder to arrange than full-day child care. Using the most generous calculations, only about 64 percent of a full-time workers standard work schedule is covered by the hours children are typically in school.26
To the extent that parents, especially single parents, work nonstandard hours, there is an increased need for child care around the clock. Nonstandard-hour and -day child care are usually more expensive and less readily available. On the other hand, some parents choose to work non-standard hours because that is when family caregivers are available.
Less-educated mothers are more likely to work a nonstandard schedule than are other women, largely because of the occupations in which they work, such as cashiers, nursing aides, and waitresses. These occupations are likely to grow in the future. Women with preschool children are more likely to work nonstandard hours than women without children or women with older children. One-third of mothers of young children who work nonstandard hours report that the major reason they work those hours is to accommodate child care, likely by the father or other family member.27 About 38 percent of all women cite child care or the care of other family members as reasons for working nonstandard hours.28
The childcare needs of working families are some-times addressed in the workplace. Employer-provided childcare assistance includes dependent-care assistance plans, direct subsidies and vouchers, arranging employee discounts at daycare centers, resource and referral systems, and flexible schedules. Typically, firms in finance, insurance, and real estate service provide the most childcare assistance, and larger companies provide more than smaller ones.29
A 1997 study found that four times as many companies offered low-cost childcare assistance, such as access to information (36 percent), as offered onsite or nearby care facilities (9 percent). Few employers reimbursed childcare costs when employees traveled or had to stay late. The only widespread childcare benefit offered by firms (50 percent) was dependent-care assistance plans that enable parents to pay for child care with pretax dollars.30
A 1996 survey of 1,050 major employers of salaried employees found that nearly one-third offered eldercare programsan increase of 17 percent over 1991though most assistance was in the form of resource and referral programs.31
In an era of two-income families, flexibilitywhether that means flexible start and stop times, working from home, or part timeis increasingly important to the American worker. 32

Unions and management sometimes negotiate for extensive childcare services as part of collective bargaining. For example, the Western New York Family Care Consortium was established in 1996 when United Auto Workers members in the Buffalo area talked with General Motors management about problems in finding quality child care that fit their scheduling needs. Other employers joined the initiative, which in 1998 had an employee base of over 13,000 area workers. Consortium services include: before- and after-school care at three sites; an extended-hours childcare center near the worksite for children 6 weeks to 12 years old, which meets the needs of second-shift workers by staying open until 2:00 a.m.; and an emergency backup telephone network to connect parents with providers when their usual childcare arrangements are disrupted.33

Women 'struggling' in Hollywood, according to new study
Only 9% of directors of the top 250 grossing Hollywood films in 2012 were women, a study has found.
Despite the low figure, it is a 4% increase from 2011's numbers, the Centre for the Study of Women in Television and Film said.
The research found women comprised 18% of all directors, executive producers, writers, cinematographers and editors.
It also showed women were more likely to work in the documentary, drama and animated film genres.
The Centre has been conducting the industry survey for more than a decade to track trends.
The number of female producers has held steady at 25% for the past two years, while female writers rose to 15%, up from a low of 10% in 2006.
The number of female editors between 1998-2012 has remained fairly constant in the 20%-21% range. Cinematographers have fluctuated between 2%-4%, although figures for 2012 were on the low end of the range.
No women have made it onto the shortlist for best director at this year's Oscars, while Zero Dark Thirty is the only best picture nominee to have been directed by a woman - Oscar-winner Kathryn Bigelow.
A separate study by the Sundance Institute and Women in Film showed women fared better in the independent film sector.
Looking at films shown at the Sundance Film Festival over the past decade - and accounting for 820 narrative and documentary films - researchers found women represented 29.8% of some 11,000 filmmakers.
There are more women working in documentary films than narrative films, but study director Stacy Smith said her research found that "as commerce moves in, females move out".
Women In Film president Cathy Schulman added: "This data shows us that there is a higher representation of female filmmakers in independent film as compared to Hollywood - but it also highlights the work that is still to be done for women to achieve equal footing in the field."
The study also found that films directed by women employ greater numbers of women behind the camera than those made by men.
The organisers of last year's Cannes Film Festival were criticised when the list of 22 films nominated for its top prize, the Palme d'Or, was entirely made up of male directors.

Sure, North Carolina doesn't plan to provide any state funds to the proposed renovations to Bank of America Stadium. But when it comes to improving the place where the Panthers play, there are other ways to skin this specific cat.
According to the Associated Press, the North Carolina House voted Wednesday to allow Charlotte to tap into existing hotel and prepared food and beverage taxes to finance the upgrades.
The bad news is that the new approach will result in $34 million less than originally planned.
Folks in Charlotte are becoming increasingly concerned that, without the improvements to the stadium, the person who buys the team after the passing of owner Jerry Richardson will try to move the franchise. Richardson has said that he wants the team to be sold within two years after his passing.
The bill now goes to the North Carolina Senate for further consideration.

Who's your Favourite K-On! Main Character ?
Vote for your Favourite Main Character in K-On!
As I think all of us already noticed , the world of K-On! features (and will feature) a number of characters, but it definitely revolves around the four main girls. In alphabetical order by given name:
You have 1 single vote. Use it wisely since once casted you cannot come back to change it. The poll is public, so votes will be visible to everyone.
Please note that this poll is not related with the "Favourite Character Poll" (including all the significant characters) which we will open at the end of the series.

I voted for Ritsu...because she's so funny... Most of the time, the story in each episode progresses because of her. She's the one who always say, "let's do this!"
Haha, yeah, this poll is useless since majority of K-On! fans are Mio fanboys.
Aww, no one voted for Mugi yet...

Anyways I vote Ritsu. She's quite the social yet overly energetic/hyperactive character that is easily distracted/bored. Fitting for someone who plays the drums I think. She also seems to like bringing out the most interesting things that come to mind for her to talk about. She's like the exact opposite of Mio (which is odd given how close they are as friends). True I have a drummer bias to some degree but she's a very likeable character imo.
And yes I was tempted to pity vote for poor Mugi. God do I ever hope the second half of this series brings justice to her character. She's really gotten the short end of the stick here thus far

Yup, another main character poll will be done at the end of the series. And a generic character poll (with all the characters, and multiple choice) as well. Those who were on the Lucky Star forum when the show was airing should know the drill.
I also thought this poll may be a bit redundant, but we sort of promised to do one when the series started ... and I like to keep promises no matter what. However, I still see a reason for this poll to exist. It's well known who the most loved character is, but I still haven't a clear idea on who would be the second choice.
As for myself, I would have voted Mio hands down, if it was for episodes 1-2 and say.. 3. But from that point onwards I think they've gone a bit over the top with her. And, she was a kuudere in the first episode, then became a tsundere, and progressively has become a derederedere more than anything. At least the other 3 have stayed consistent, in regards of the - few - character development they've had.
Maybe in this moment my favourite is Ritsu, at least she's actually funny (as in "crazy funny" towards "repetitively clumsily unwillingly funny")

For me it's Mugi, since she has a nice personality and is overally cute
Mio is overrated
Ritsu is almost like Haruhi... almost
Yui is too clumsy and too cute
Come on I won't belive there are no other Mugi fans here.

A little over a year ago I wrote a rather controversial editorial stating that iOS users don't ever need to kill all the apps in their multitasking dock (fast app switcher). A couple of months ago the subject was brought back to the spotlight, with other developers and bloggers reaching pretty much the same conclusion.
It remains true. There's no need to regularly "clear out" all the apps in your multitasking dock. We've said it, other developers and bloggers have said it, even Apple has said it.
But here's the thing -- sometimes Apple Geniuses will tell users to do just that. Which is what makes it controversial. Here's why:
Trouble-shooting is sometimes a slow, complicated process.
If a customer comes to the Genius Bar with one poorly coded app or rogue process that's continuously slowing down their iPhone, iPod touch, or iPad, or causing massive battery drain, figuring out which app it is, and fixing it, can take a lot of time and effort. It can involve buying system monitoring apps, rebooting a lot, launching apps, testing, checking system status, killing apps, rebooting, deleting apps, reinstalling apps, etc. etc. It can involve a lot of things that some Apple Geniuses believe mainstream, non-technical users will have trouble understanding and doing.
It flies against Apple's recommendation, it flies in the face of best trouble-shooting practices, and it makes advanced users cringe, but...
Killing everything, in that specific case, for mainstream users, is the fastest, easiest path to problem resolution.
So if a Genius tells your mom to kill all her apps every day or week, that's why.
It's wrong. It's unnecessary, and you can certainly take the time to properly Unless you want to take them time to trouble shoot it for them.

Imagine my dismay as I turned on my TV and turned it to Prime Ticket. Time Warner had recently taken over the local cable station recently, but I hadn't noticed any differences. Until now. I put it on channel 61 and up came the Seattle vs. Kansas City game. Who wants to watch this match-up.
The game has been blacked out. My roommate called the cable company and was told the game was not sold-out.
No sell-out no game.
Needless to say, I was in shock. This is one of the most pivotal games of the year. They are playing a rival divisional team for a spot in the playoffs. How could they not show this game? And how could this game not be a sell-out? Something is fishy here.
So I sit around steaming in front of the computer as I keep track of the game. I see that Lowe has struggled a bit, but is able to hold down the fort. There is no score after 3 innings. Then, out of chance, I decide to check Prime Ticket one last time.
Presto! The game is on.
Whew! That was close. I was about to go crazy. I got some chores to do while the game is on. There is nothing like folding the laundry as Vinny calls a third strike.
Go Blue!

Banff (51°10′N 115°33′W Elevation: 1463 m/4800 ft) is the largest town in Banff National Park, located in southwestern Alberta within the Canadian Rockies, making it the town with the highest elevation in Canada. The town is situated above Bow Falls near the junction of the Bow and Spray Rivers. Banff is located about 135 kilometres (85 miles) west of Calgary on the Trans-Canada Highway. It is also 58 km (36 miles) east of Lake Louise. The town is now a member of the Calgary Regional Partnership, making it the westernmost municipality within Greater Calgary.
The resort town is a very popular tourist destination and is known for its mountainous surroundings and hot springs. It is a major destination for outdoor sports and features extensive hiking, scrambling and skiing areas within the region. Two ski resorts are located in close proximity: Sunshine Village and Mount Norquay ski resort.
There are a number of popular mountains located immediately adjacent to the townsite. They include Mount Rundle (2949 metres), Cascade Mountain (2998 metres) and Mount Norquay (2134 metres), which has a ski slope as well as mountain biking trails on the Stoney Squaw portion. A gondola lift is available to ascend Sulphur Mountain (2281 metres) where a boardwalk beginning from the upper terminal takes visitors to Sanson Peak. Sulphur Mountain is also the location of one of Banff's most popular attractions, the Banff Upper Hot Springs. Tunnel Mountain (formerly known as Sleeping Buffalo Mountain) (1690 metres) is situated within the townsite and is very popular for quick hikes; one can reach the summit in less than half an hour. It was named Tunnel Mountain because surveyors initially wanted to make a tunnel for the Trans-Canada (Canadian Pacific) Railroad right through the mountain, instead of following the Bow River Valley.
Banff is home to the well-known Banff World Television Festival as well as the Banff Festival of Mountain Films.

Bayer CropScience has canceled plans to launch two new proprietary FiberMax varieties in 2010, a result of delayed regulatory approval from Japan.
Launch of FM 9101 GT and FM 9103 GT, two new glyphosate resistant varieties (GlyTol) based on new germplasm, will be delayed until 2011, said Paul Callaghan, Global Cotton Traits Manager for Bayer CropScience, during the 2010 Southwest Cotton Technology Seminar in San Antonio.
Callaghan said Bayer CropScience had obtained all necessary approvals from the United States, Australia, Canada and Mexico by last December. The Japanese approved food use in January, 2010 and Bayer anticipated feed and environmental approval by March 10, U.S. planting time.
"That process will not be completed by March 10," Callaghan said. Since Japan is a key trading partner, Bayer determined postponing launch would be in the best interests of the U.S. cotton industry. "We did not want to release a product that could limit market access," he said.
Callaghan said cotton lint is not an issue but the valuable by-products from cottonseed are regulated.
"We're disappointed," he said. "But Bayer made the right decision. Cotton is a global commodity and approvals (for new products) can be complex. We are committed to getting GlyTol to market."
Callaghan said Bayer announced the decision as early as possible to allow farmers ample time to make seed decisions. "We have enough FM9058 to replace all the GlyTol on order. That was part of the Bayer contingency plan. We will also promote Liberty Link and Liberty Link Bt varieties as replacements."
He said FM9058 is the No. 1 selling herbicide tolerance only variety in the United States.
Bayer officials said other FiberMax varieties will be in ample supply to replace GlyTol seed.
Launch of GlyTol was heralded as an opportunity to provide cotton farmers an option to Roundup Ready technology. "Growers can use any glyphosate brand they want with GlyTol technology, Bayer officials said.
"We are focused on getting these varieties out there," Callaghan said. He anticipates more opportunities for field demonstrations in 2010 so more growers can see the new varieties under field conditions.
He said Bayer had an ample supply of both GlyTol varieties for a substantial launch this year and anticipates a full-scale push for 2011.

We'll be sending out the final gift cards tonight (yes, it's still tough what with Apple's limit to the # we can buy in a month, but we figured out a workaround).
So congratulate iLoveiPhones (a username so good it's gotta be kismet) and let us know: once the iPhone 3G is really and truly out, what sort of stuff do you want TiPb to cover in the coming weeks and months? Are apps king? Shall we pit the iPhone 3G against every other darn smartphone out there, one by one? Should we continue to bring you tips and tricks? What'll it be?
Update: Looks like we made somebody's day. :D
I'm never gonna forget this day. Thanks so much to everyone here at the iPhone forum and the staff at the iPhone Blog. Couldn't have done it without you guys. Being someone who's never won anything, this is quite a day!
