Bernie Mac Passes Away At 50 Years Old! [R.I.P Bernie]
CNN reports "- Bernie Mac, the Emmy and Golden Globe nominated actor and comedian who worked his way to Hollywood success from an impoverished upbringing on Chicago's South Side, died Saturday at age 50. Bernie Mac, 50, was nominated for a Grammy for "The Original Kings of Comedy." Bernie Mac, 50, was nominated for a Grammy for "The Original Kings of Comedy." "Actor/comedian Bernie Mac passed away this morning from complications due to pneumonia in a Chicago area hospital," his publicist, Danica Smith, said in a statement from Los Angeles, California. She said no other details were available and asked that his family's privacy be respected. The comedian suffered from sarcoidosis, an inflammatory lung disease that produces tiny lumps of cells in the body's organs, but had said the condition went into remission in 2005. He recently was hospitalized and treated for pneumonia, which his publicist said was not related to the disease. Recently, Mac's brand of comedy caught him flack when he was heckled during a surprise appearance at a July fundraiser for Democratic presidential candidate and fellow Chicagoan Barack Obama."

Michigan lawmakers approve new emergency manager law after previous version was struck down by voters
LANSING (AP) -- The Republican-led Michigan Legislature cleared the way Thursday for GOP Gov. Rick Snyder to sign a replacement for an emergency manager law struck down by voters, delivering another punch to Democrats still reeling from this week's rapid passage of right-to-work legislation limiting unions' power.
On the final day of the legislative session that capped an acrimonious week in the state capital, the Senate approved the legislation mostly along party lines. It contains key provisions from a law rejected in November but includes more choices for local school districts and communities deemed by the state to be in a financial emergency.
The House passed the bill Wednesday night. Snyder spokeswoman Sara Wurfel said the bill is a priority for him to sign but there's no timetable.
Watch a report on the new legislation in Michigan during today's News at Noon.
The new version proposed by Snyder and GOP legislative leaders requires financially troubled governments to choose from four mandatory options: Accept an emergency manager, undergo bankruptcy, enter into mediation or join the state in a partnership known as a consent agreement -- similar to the current one involving Detroit.
Critics say the options menu is a false choice, because each is trip-wired to ensure the same thing that voters rejected at the polls: state-imposed oversight.
"We are not asking for anybody's help," said Detroit Democratic Sen. Virgil Smith. "This is control, takeover, gimme-what-you-got legislation. ... And I'm tired of this."
The legislation also includes a $770,000 appropriation to cover managers' salaries, a provision that would prevent a second defeat at the polls because spending bills are legally shielded from referendums.
As with the rejected law, the manager would have the power to change or cancel contracts, but local officials also could develop an alternative plan provided it generates equal financial savings. Should a local government choose an emergency manager, the state would pay for the manager, and local officials would have the option of removing the manager after one year and with a two-thirds vote of its governing body.
The state has been operating since under a previous law that gives managers fewer powers, but leaders argue it's inadequate to deal with failing cities or schools.
Snyder and other backers of the plan argue adding the choices and other steps to provide more local input respects the will of the voters because it doesn't force an emergency manager on any local government.
Democrats see it as a blow to democracy because it subverts local control. They say it's the same as the rejected law with an opportunity for distressed communities to "pick their poison."
Democratic Sen. Bert Johnson, from the Detroit enclave of Highland Park, offered several changes that failed to garner support, including one that would have enabled a consent agreement between the state and financially struggling local government that's "binding to both parties" and lasts for no more than two years.
"What we need is a partnership," he said. "We do not need a dictator in Lansing."
Hillsdale Republican Sen. Bruce Caswell said he voted no because he was "following the dictates" of his constituents who voted against the emergency manager bill.
Opponents also contended the measure was being rushed similar to the way right-to-work legislation reducing union strength sailed through the legislative process in recent days amid widespread protests at the Capitol. But supporters noted that the emergency manager bill was considered during a committee hearing this month.
Johnson echoed a feeling of helplessness among Democrats, but he vowed it would be temporary.
"Our grievances will be settled at the next ballot," Johnson said. "Continue to do what you're doing if you want to give away this majority ... and the governorship."
Senate Majority Leader Randy Richardville disputed critics' claims that it's merely a rehash of the failed law with poisonous extras.
"There are very different paths they can take," he said. "These are usually people who are in a situation that has a financial emergency. They're saying, 'Don't help us, don't help us, and you give us another option, we don't like that either.' The problem isn't being solved."
Richardville said the only option some local officials are leaving themselves is bankruptcy.
"And they'll have the option to choose that if they want, but I don't think they'd be representing their people very well if they did that," he said.
The new emergency manager proposal was announced last week on the same day that Michigan Treasurer Andy Dillon said he'll likely order a review of Detroit's municipal finances, a 30-day process that could lead to a state takeover of its largest city that's deep in debt and has a budget deficit of more than $200 million.
Since the spring, Detroit and the state have been partners in a consent agreement that allows limited state oversight of Mayor Dave Bing's fiscal restructuring plans. Tied to the deal is millions of dollars in bond money held in escrow by the treasurer's office and released to Detroit when certain benchmarks are achieved.
The deal averted the placement of an emergency financial manager in Detroit.
Managers are in place in Benton Harbor, Ecorse, Flint, Pontiac and Allen Park, as well as in the Muskegon Heights, Highland Park and Detroit school districts.
Lou Schimmel, Pontiac's emergency financial manager, said the new legislation will give him the authority to pass ordinances and deal with labor matters, and without those powers "you can't fix the problems."

WASHINGTON — A bitter standoff between Walmart and Washington, D.C., officials over the city's effort to impose a higher minimum wage on big-box retailers is fueling a wider debate about how far cities should go in trying to raise pay for low-wage workers — and whether larger companies should be required to pay more.
Walmart Stores Inc., the nation's largest private employer, is fuming about a ''living wage'' bill approved by the D.C. Council that has an unusual twist: It would apply only to certain large retailers, forcing them to pay at least $12.50 an hour, nearly 50 percent higher than city's minimum wage of $8.25.
The measure is being cheered by unions and worker advocates, who have long complained about Walmart's wages and working conditions. Opponents call it an unfair tactic that will discourage companies from doing business in the city.
Walmart has threatened to cancel plans for three of the six stores it hopes to build in some of the city's poorest neighborhoods. The measure is now before Mayor Vincent Gray.
Some economists say targeting large retailers or industries that can afford to increase wages may be an effective way to raise pay to even higher levels than a broad-based minimum wage. The district's bill applies to stores of 75,000 square feet or larger and annual corporate revenue of at least $1 billion.
''A large retailer can more easily absorb a pay hike than a corner store,'' said Arindrajit Dube, an economics professor at the University of Massachusetts Amherst and a prominent supporter of raising the minimum wage. Large stores are ''less likely to shut down or cut back on employment'' in response to an increase, he said.
But Dube cautioned that a targeted hike might make it harder for Walmart and other big-box stores to pass on the wage hike as a price increase, since smaller retailers could still keep prices low.
The capital's minimum wage already is higher than the federal rate of $7.25 an hour. Other cities and states that have sought to raise the minimum wage have applied the hike to all businesses. San Francisco's rate of $10.55 an hour is the highest in the nation.
Still, no other city has singled out certain businesses. The Chicago City Council tried to pass a similar measure seven years ago, but it was vetoed by then-mayor Richard M. Daley.
President Obama has proposed raising the federal minimum to $9 an hour and boosting it annually to keep pace with inflation.
Many Walmart workers already make $12.50 an hour — the rate set by the district's bill — or more, but the average sales associate earns $8.81, according to IBISWorld, an independent research group.
Walmart spokesman Steven Restivo questioned why the D.C. measure excludes unionized stores such as Safeway and Giant, suggesting the bill is targeting nonunion stores. He said most of the company's 1.4 million employees work full time, and about 75 percent of management started as hourly associates.
David Neumark, an economics professor at the University of California Irvine, has argued that raising the minimum wage is bad for workers because it discourages employers from hiring and leads to fewer jobs. He said Walmart's low prices are more important to helping low-income workers.
''We can talk about wages, but if you can lower prices, that's as good as raising wages,'' Neumark said. ''And of course helps a lot more people.''
Forcing Walmart to raise wages could create gradual pressure on smaller businesses to boost wages over time, said Michael Reich, an economics professor at the University of California Berkeley.
''A lot of people would be trying to get jobs at Walmart,'' he said. ''That labor market pressure is going to raise wages at smaller stores, just because Walmart is such a big employer.''
But business groups call the idea outrageous and unfair.
''By any analysis, this is a really flawed proposal that's also very discriminatory,'' said David French, senior vice president of the National Retail Federation.
''The assumption is that retailers make a lot of money, therefore they can pay higher wages and therefore you can impose higher costs by fiat. That doesn't necessarily reflect reality.''
Typically, retailers are low-margin businesses, French said.
The district's measure could also affect other retailers like Best Buy and Macy's.
Business groups are also concerned a precedent-setting law in Washington could trigger similar measure elsewhere.
''The political forces that have brought the D.C. Council to the brink of economic suicide are the same political forces at work in other cities,'' said French.
More than 140 cities and counties have laws that require businesses receiving government contracts or subsidies to pay a rate higher than the federal or state minimum wage.

andyswan needed a new t-shirt design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 6 designs submitted by 3 freelance designers.
My wife was voted "V.I.P." for this annual superbowl bash we have. It entitles her to benefits at this year's party, so she should stand out and make the most of it.
Here is a pic of her from last year's party: http://bit.ly/eyZBzB (original attached)
You can go through the album to get the idea---this is a fun party! Lotta drinks, lotta fun.
So I think it'd be very cool if it used that picture of her as the main thing, but artsy and powerful like the "I'm with COCO".
She's pretty ripped, so some cool "hot chick superhero" treatment might be cool...
If possible, I'd like a second image delivered, exactly the same but replace the words with "I'm with V.I.P", so I have something to wear :)
Have fun with this....I'll give good and fast feedback!
You can see the audience in the flickr album. Fun group, 20's and 30's.
2000x2000 png on transparent background.
Likely to be used on white shirt (see below...maybe you have a better idea)
Must include the words "Screw It! 2011 V.I.P." on it somewhere. I'll let you get as creative as you want.
Would *like* a second image delivered, exactly the same but replace the words with "I'm with V.I.P" (so I can wear one :) )
Will be used on cafepress on the middle tank top here: http://www.cafepress.com/make/custom-tank-tops which is only in white.....or if you have another great idea for quick printing, let me know!

Mormon Missionary Applications
SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints says it has seen a more than five-fold jump in applications after lowering the eligibility age for becoming a Mormon missionary.
Mormon church President Thomas Monson announced at this month's General Conference that men can go on full-time missions at 18, instead of 19, and women can go at 19 instead of 21.
Church spokesman Scott Trotter says more than half of the new applicants are women.
By tradition, young men in the church serve two-year missions. Women serve for 18 months. All skip education, employment and other pursuits while serving, often overseas. Many pay their own expenses or receive help from parents or other church members.
The Mormon church reported it had 281,312 converts last year.

So if this applies to you, if you haven't already updated McAfee AV to def 4176, might want to asap.
SourceMcAfee update exterminates Excel
For a brief period on Friday, McAfee's security tools killed more than viruses.
An error in McAfee's virus definition file released Friday morning caused the company's consumer and enterprise antivirus products to flag Microsoft's Excel, as well as other applications on users' PCs, as a virus called W95/CTX, Joe Telafici, director of operations at McAfee's Avert labs, told CNET News.com.
"At about 1 p.m. PST we started getting reports that people were seeing an unusual number of W95/CTX infections in their environment," Telafici said. "Files that we did identify would probably be deleted or quarantined, depending on your settings."
McAfee has been able to pinpoint the cause of the problem and hopes it can avoid it in the future, Telafici said.
The problem occurred with virus definition file 4715, which was released at about 10:45 a.m. on Friday as part of McAfee's daily update cycle. The repaired, emergency-definition file 4716 was pushed out at about 3:30 p.m.
Hopefully you won't be affected.

The Annual Conference of the American Library Association is the largest event dedicated to the professional growth of librarians in the world. More than 20,000 librarians, library staff, trustees and others attend each year. ALA divisions, round tables and committees present more than 300 programs and preconferences on a wide variety of topics. More than 1000 companies showcase the latest information products and services. The Midwinter Meeting is more than just committee work. It also hosts an amazing array of workshops and discussion groups, along with full- and half-day Institutes and a great exhibit hall of library vendors. It's a great blend of national and regional meeting styles.
In addition, three ALA divisions – the American Association of School Librarians (AASL), Association of College and Research Libraries (ACRL) and the Public Library Association (PLA) – offer separate national conference programs and exhibits for their members. These divisional conferences are more compact than ALA's annual conference, offer programs and exhibits for specific libraries and the chance to collaborate in workshop and unconference settings. No business (committee) meetings are held at these conferences, allowing for more personal learning focus for attendees. Virtual conferences are also being offered by divisions.
The Association for Library Service to Children (ALSC), the Reference User Services Association (RUSA), and the Young Adult Services Association (YALSA) offer biannual national institutes that focus on continuous education for members and other professionals to keep them updated on trends in librarianship. The Library Information and Technology Association (LITA) offers an annual national institute/forum.
The Library Leadership Administration and Management Association (LLAMA) and the Association for Library Collections & Technical Services (ALCTS) conduct extensive regional programming focused on specific topics and needs of their members. Other divisions and offices offer single or multiple-session workshops, plenary sessions and networking opportunities on a regional basis.

Terri's Notes
- Sprinkle with sliced almonds or toasted sliced almonds.

Site is almost complete, and we are looking now to start getting a polished front end to the site.
As for right now, there is no site for you to access and see.
The Art Music community. This includes students, hobbyists, amateurs, professional, and general admirers of classical music. The site is all about promoting and making classical music more accessible to the general public.
These people will most likely play instruments like, but not limited to: Piano, Violin, Cello, Clarinet, Oboe, Trumpet, Trombone, Tuba, Flute, etc. Or perhaps better put, Winds, Strings, Brass, and Orchestral Percussion.
I am open to all suggestions in terms of color and designs.
One requirement -
I am NOT looking for something that will represent pop, or commercial music. Images that include things like CDs, Headphones, DJ equipment, and the like are NOT wanted. Read about the audience, and I think you'll have a better understanding of the type I am looking for.
Basic Suggestions -
-Use of classical symbols might be nice (Clefs, Notes, Rest, etc), but not required.

I have been asked by a reader to clarify a marriage search on the new Irish civil records index on Ancestry (www.ancestry.co.uk), to point out the difference with the FamilySearch (www.familysearch.org) hosted equivalents. So here's a quick step through guide!
a) In this case I want to search for the wedding of a Patrick Giles who I know came from Carrick-on-Suir in Tipperary. I know he married an Ann Colleton, but not where and when the marriage happened. So I start with a very basic search on his name and use Carrick as a location:
b) Clicking on Search I find an entry for a Patrick Giles in Carrick comes up first in 1922, which seems a good bet.
c) If I now click on View Record, a page returns with the crucial details that I will need to order a certificate up from the GRO in Roscommon, namely name, date and place of registration, and volume and page number. If I want to order the Mormon microfilmed version of the record, the film number is also there. Note, however, one other thing - the page number, in this case 272, is listed as an active hyperlink, with click to see others on page written after it.
d) If I click on 272, a list of names now appears, all from the same page of the GRO index book. The first name on the list, before Patrick's, is Annie Colleton - so this is almost certainly the right marriage record (though there is always the possibility it is another Patrick Giles perhaps married to a Mary Kennedy). If I click on Annie's name, the same details, volume and page number, etc, will be returned.
If I did a search and knew that I was looking for a Patrick Giles from Carrick on Suir, but not his wife's name, I would still be presented with the option of knowing that either Annie Colleton or Mary Kennedy was his wife - again incredibly useful as I can now try to narrow down my search with those names to the right candidate.
The online FamilySearch version of this database does not offer this last option, making this a major improvement. The last part of a search through FamilySearch simply shows the following:
I therefore cannot find possible spouses' names through the FamilySearch database, so I cannot confirm if this is the right entry - but I can through Ancestry.
Hope that helps!

Roth IRA – My First Investment Account
by Him • March 27, 2012 • Tagged: investments, roth ira  • Comments
Source: goodfinancialcents.com via Jeff on Pinterest
We've joined over 140 other bloggers to promote the Roth IRA Movement. Thank Illinois Certified Financial Planner Jeff Rose for this awesome idea!
How We Found Out About Roth IRAs
According to my statements, my Roth IRA was opened in 1996. I was in high school at the time and got into a good amount of trouble for a teenager, so I was grounded a lot. Some of those Friday nights were spent with my mom, aimlessly flipping through channels for something to watch. One night, we came across a show on finances, with a host being a fiery woman with the name that wounds like MOVIE DOORMAN. It was she who introduced our family to the Roth IRA.
We completely bought into the numbers that the financial personality was throwing at us: if we contributed the maximum amount (which back then was $2,000) for a few years, then by the time I was to retire I'd have a GAJILLION DOLLARS for me to by a private island and retire. She didn't say exactly how the money would multiply, but that didn't matter to us. So my mom opened up an account for me and put in $2,000. She gave me free reign as to what I could do with it.
I didn't have a single clue as to what I should have done. So I did what any slacker teenager would do: Nothing.
Getting Started With My Roth IRA
Fast forward a few years and my mom had contributed an additional $500, while I did nothing. She called me one summer day when I was in college, and told me to pick some investments. I logged into the investment brokerage, and I stared at the screen. I. Knew. Nothing. So I did what any Generation Y/Millenial would do: I called the customer service hotline for help.
When I was connected with the rep I told him the history of the account and that I had no idea what I was doing. The guy was nice enough to stay on the phone with me for about an hour while he explained the basics of mutual fund investing – large caps vs small caps, stocks vs bonds, mutual funds. I am supremely grateful that he spent so much time with clueless me. Honestly, I don't know if what that guy did was even legal.
When I got off the phone, armed with the very basic knowledge that I could obtain about investing, I went and made my first investments: ASCVX (which was originally owned by the bank I was with at the time) and FSLCX. Woo!
My Roth IRA Today
While those weren't the brightest of investments, it got me started. The promise of a GAJILLION DOLLARS by the time I retired was again being pursued. Over the years in my Roth IRA I owned individual stocks of GE, CVS, and AMD, along with some other winners and losers.
Today, my Roth IRA is a part of a comprehensive family retirement investment portfolio. While I haven't updated our list of holdings in our Roth IRAs since 2007, they do still have the same investments in them – a REIT and a bond fund, both which round out our portfolio.
Looking to the Future
We've unfortunately not contributed to our Roth IRAs in a few years as we've increased the amounts we put in our employer-sponsored retirement plans. We would like to change this in the future as tax-free growth is something that we should be taking advantage of and we would like to remain tax-diversified.
One future possibility for our Roth IRA is to help fund a first/investment home purchase. Current regulations allow us a lifetime withdraw limit of up to $10,000 for the purchase of a first time home. If we both did this, then we'd have $20,000 in real estate, or about 17% of our portfolio. It's a fantastic benefit of having a Roth IRA, but we must weigh all the options to see if it is right for us.
Do you have a Roth IRA? How have you used it in your life?

NAACP leaders joined with Governor Martin O'Malley and other civil rights leaders to call for ending the death penalty in Maryland this week.
NAACP President and CEO Benjamin Todd Jealous opened the conference saying that Maryland needs to replace the death penalty with life without the possibility of parole.
A press conference was held at Lawyer's Mall outside the Maryland State House.
"Blacks in Maryland are two and a half times more likely to receive the death penalty than whites," said Maryland Lieutenant Governor Anthony Brown. According to statics, African Americans make up 13 percent of the country's population, 37 percent of prisoners and 41 percent of death row inmates.
There are currently five men, four of whom are African American, on Maryland's death row. The state hasn't had an execution since 2005.
Jealous called the death penalty "cruel and unusual punishment that needs to be abolished nationally."
Historically, the NAACP has opposed the death penalty for a variety of reasons, including racial disparities in how it is applied.
Jealous specifically referenced Anthony Gray, a Maryland man, who spent seven years in prison for a rape and murder he did not commit before being exonerated and released in February 1999. Gray pleaded guilty to the murder and rape believing it would allow him to avoid the death penalty. The use of DNA testing eventually helped police find the real perpetrator.
The NAACP has also been involved in efforts to remove the death penalty in states like Georgia. Most recently, the NAACP worked to stop the execution of accused cop killer Troy Davis. Davis was convicted of the 1989 shooting of Officer Mark MacPhail. Despite much doubt surrounding Davis' involvement, he was executed in September 2011.
"We should never have to worry about the state executing poor people and not rich people, people of color and not whites," Jealous said, after referencing killed Gray and Davis.
Maryland Governor Martin O'Malley affirmed Jealous' position, saying that the state and the country as a whole should get rid of the death penalty.
"We should stop doing things through our government that are expensive and do not work," said O'Malley.
O'Malley announced that the repeal of capital punishment will be a top priority in the upcoming legislative session and he will submit a repeal bill to the legislature later this week. If it is passed, Maryland would become the sixth state to abolish capital punishment since 2007.
The governor attempted to get capital punishment repealed during the 2009 session, but couldn't get the necessary votes in the Senate. However, with backing from the NAACP, Legislative Black Caucus, Maryland Citizens Against State Executions and various other groups, O'Malley believes this year's attempt will be a success.
"If you look over the last 30 or 40 years, the death penalty was on the books, and yet Baltimore still became one of the most violent and addicted cities in America," O'Malley said.
The governor suggested that investing in law enforcement, strengthening relations with police officers and better DNA technology are among the various alternatives that have proven to be more effective and cost efficient than the death penalty.
He added that states with the death penalty have higher murder rates.
The governor also mentioned the results of a 2008 commission in Maryland that found that "the administration of the death penalty clearly shows racial bias" as evidence of injustice.

RALEIGH, N.C. (seminoles.com) – The No. 17/18 Florida State women's basketball team could not contain the offensive execution of No. 20/21 NC State in the second half as it lost on Thursday evening, 80-57, at the Reynolds Coliseum in Raleigh, N.C.
For the first time this season, the Seminoles (14-3, 2-2) allowed 70 points against a Pack (16-2, 3-1) squad that entered the night as one of the ACC's top long-range shooting teams. NC State connected on nine 3-point field goals and shot 46.7 percent from the field, a season-high allowed by FSU. NC State's nine 3's were tied for the second-most allowed by FSU this season.
Florida State's streak of starting its first 16 games of the season without allowing 70 points or more ties a program record, as the 1972-73 team did not allow 70 points in all 16 games it played that year. NC State was consistent from the field in the second half, hitting 15-of-30 shots including 5-of-10 from beyond the arc.
"I thought NC State really executed their stuff tonight, especially in the second half," FSU head coach Sue Semrau said. "They shot really well from 3-point range tonight and their experience really helped them in this game with (Markeisha) Gatling and (Kody) Burke. We will have to learn from this and improve because we've got another big game on Sunday at Virginia. This is what the ACC is all about sometimes."
NC State's crisp ball movement around the perimeter freed up open looks on the inside and some high-percentage shots in the paint. The loss for FSU breaks its four-game win streak at Reynolds Coliseum. Four double-figure scorers for the Pack did damage in the lane and beyond the arc, led by center Markeisha Gatling (20 points), forward Kody Burke (16 points), guard Myisha Goodwin-Coleman (12 points) and center Lakeesa Daniel (13 points).
Thursday's game between both squads was also the first time in the last eight meetings to be decided by double digits. On a positive note for FSU, it committed a season-low 10 turnovers.
FSU lost for the first time this season when having three double-figure scorers. Senior Natasha Howard finished with 14 points and moved into ninth on the FSU all-time scoring list. It was her 33rd double-double effort of her career to extend her school record as she added 10 rebounds.
Freshman Ivey Slaughter had a good night from the field, recording 12 points and 11 boards for her seventh double-double.
Freshman Brittany Brown's effort helped FSU early in the second half as it cut the game back to single digits at 42-34 when she drove in for a breakaway layup following a steal on the left side. The Pack seemed to always have a response, as Gatling scored on the inside and Coleman-Goodwin hit another 3 from the wing to put them back up 47-34. Another long-range jumper by Burke put the Pack up 52-37 at the 14:04 mark and prompted an FSU timeout.
Slaughter continued to work the glass and give FSU extra chances, finishing a layup with 12:59 left to leave FSU trailing 52-39. Krystal Barrett then buried a 3-pointer for the Pack 15 seconds left for another response shot, and a few more free throws by Daniel extended the Pack lead to 56-41 with 12 minutes remaining.
FSU outscored the Pack inside, 34-30, but were hurt by shooting 2-of-12 from beyond the arc while NC State was 9-of-22. NC State's second-half run was punctuated by an old-fashion three-point play from Miah Spencer to break the game open at 67-47 with just under eight minutes left.
FSU faced just its fourth halftime deficit of the season as well as its largest, trailing 37-26. Slaughter and Howard led FSU with eight points apiece, while Slaughter was aggressive on the glass with a team-high seven rebounds. NC State shot 43 percent in the first half and canned seven of its eight free throws. The Pack got good ball movement to create open looks outside and in the post, using 11 assists to its advantage. For the game, NC State finished with 23 assists.
Florida State did not allow the Pack to get much inside early. Two contested 3-pointers by NC State's Len'Nique Brown that were beyond 21 feet gave them an early 6-4 lead at the 15:29 mark. Howard started the game with a basket inside a nice entry pass from Morgan Jones, who threaded the assist between two NC State defenders.
Freshman Kai James gave the `Noles a spark in her first action in the game, hitting an elbow jumper immediately then sealing in the post and getting an inside bucket to cut FSU's deficit to 14-10. At the 11:43 mark of the first half both teams combined to shoot 10-of-29 in what was a physical game.
NC State went on a 7-0 run toward the latter part of the first half, capped by a 3-pointer from Goodwin-Coleman from the wing to give the Pack a 29-19 lead. Redshirt senior Lakeesha Daniel exploited some opportunities in the post and hurt FSU with 12 points in the first half, just one away from her career high.
Florida State heads back on the road as it faces Virginia on Sunday, Jan. 19, at 2 p.m. in Charlottesville, Va.

Belden Inc (BDC) Hits New 52-week Low During January 20 SessionEquities Staff Follow |
Belden Inc (BDC) established a new 52-week low yesterday, and could be a company to watch at the open. After opening at $39.05, Belden Inc dropped to $37.52 for a new 52-week low. By the closing bell, the company's stock was at $39.07 a share for a loss of 1.93%.
Falling to a new 52-week low is never fun for company's shareholder, but, depending on who you ask, it can be either a buy or a sell signal. Someone bearish on the stock might see it reaching its lowest price in a year as a sign of growing downward momentum and make sure they sell their shares. Bulls, though, are more likely to see a new 52-week low as the stock hitting its low point and anticipate a bounce in the share price.
However one plays it, it's often a critical moment for any stock and should be noted by investors.
Belden Inc saw 168,783 shares of its stock trade hands, that's out of 41.98 million shares outstand. The stock has an average daily volume of 305,515 shares. After hitting a new 52-week low, Belden Inc enters the new trading day with a market cap of 1.64 billion, a 50-day SMA of $52.83 and a 200-day SMA of $65.32
Belden Inc now has a P/E ratio of 53.1.

Noel Sickles Pays the Bills
To be fair, the ads in Fortune were never intended for a broad public viewing. Those businesses advertising were directing their message to other businesses, as is the case with this American Airlines freight-shipping series - but I gotta tell you - boy, this is some dull stuff!
This is what we in the doodling racket call "paying the bills", and its lacklustre appearance is usually the result of an agency presenting the illustrator with layouts that have been nailed down tighter than a drum, with absolutely no wiggle room left for the poor soul tasked with rendering the final execution.
You'd think with a talent of Noel Sickles' stature and ability that he could somehow turn this water into wine, or that on principal he would have passed on such a tedious series if the client refused to budge from their lame concepts and dreary compositions. But the truth is everyone needs to make a living. And a series of national ads for a major corporation pays very well... even better in 1951 than it would today.
With a name like Today's Inspiration you might be wondering what merit there is in seeing these ads, but in spite of everything said above I wanted readers to consider several important points: that even unspectacular Sickles is still Sickles, that seeing work like this reminds us that illustration is the business of crafting art in the service of utility, and finally, to quote an old friend, "Indoor work, no heavy lifting... where's the down-side?"
* My Noel Sickles Flickr set.
* Is it too late to ask Santa for Scorchy Smith and the Art of Noel Sickles? I don't know - but it couldn't hurt to try!
* So how do you take what could be pretty mundane subject matter and set it on fire? Check out Charlie Allen's latest CAWS for the answer.

Right on Leif. My thought is that in spite of how boring the subject is, and the lack of creativity those American Airline freight ads have, they must have been effective or they wouldn't have spent so much money on a whole series. What is boring to us, may communicate to the people in the business it is directed to.ReplyDelete
As an Art Director/Illustrator and later a Creative Director, I would sometimes have to create ads that damn near put me to sleep, but they were very successful for the client and the agency. Sometimes my creative efforts would be circumvented or diluted by "client concerns". They knew their product or service and their market, and that couldn't be ignored. They were paying the bills, and all the A.D. or C.D. could do is make recommendations, based on client input and material. Advertising was a "team sport". Fortunately, the boring jobs were the exception, not the rule.
In the early 50's, advertising illustration was not very creative or innovative, especially business to business advertising, so illustrators didn't expect it to be a creative cake walk.
I never understood why many people in the creative field think they should have total freedom on every job they do, regardless of client facts or expertise. I took pride in being adaptable enough to produce an effective professional ad or illustration for the client, as attractive and creative as I could possibly make it, and meet my deadline. That can often be more of a challenge than being given total freedom to do as you please.
Tom Watson
Right on, Tom. I was always 'this brush for hire' kind of an illustrator....as long as the client paid the bills on time! I've rarely seen an assignment that couldn't be improved, challenged, or doing, as the recent pop phrase went, 'putting lipstick on a pig'. Was impressed to see the Sickles style on those ads. Where I parted with his low opinion of Whitcomb, and the 'boy/girl' illustrators.... can you imagine how Sickles would have handled a romantic boy/girl ad for Whitman Candies? I can't. Also can't imagine Whitcomb painting a Civil War battle scene! Kaiser used to have cement trucks with a sign, 'Find a need and fill it!' Both those talented illustrators did just that.ReplyDelete
I think I would like these better if they were just done more quickly. In Sickles' best work, the brush doesn't touch the paper a moment more than it has to. Perhaps the art director asked for more polish?ReplyDelete
Either way, the new Sickles book is my new favorite book.
- Rich3:39 AM
As for me, I'm not in the least bored, looking at those depictions.ReplyDelete
Their message holds true to the day and is brought home most graphically and vivid. Still today one might do a management seminar around those depictions.

Welcome to the Kraft Suspense Theatre guide at TV Tome. Kraft Suspense Theatre was filmed in Hollywood and once a month was preempted to allow a special appearance by Perry Como's Kraft Music Hall. The plots revolved around murder, intrigue, terror, and danger. There was also Kraft Mystery Theatre which ran from June 14, 1961 until September 25, 1963 and this is sometimes confused with the Kraft Suspense Theatre. The shows are totally distinct, however. KST gave birth to two more shows (or spin-offs): The initial two-parter, "The Case Against Paul Ryker", served as the pilot for the short-lived show, 'Court-Martial', in 1965.
And "Rapture at Two Forty" presented in April 1965 was the pilot for the later series 'Run For Your Life' that ran for three seasons.

Functional Esthetics
We are a dental laboratory. We've been in business for over thirty years, and have used the current logo for at least twenty if not more. The logo was based on one of Escher's designs if I remember correctly. It is tired and dated.
We make dental restorations for dentists. They are all hand made and unique to each patient. We work with committed passionate dentists. We work hard at providing dentists with restorations that they can be proud to deliver to their patients. To make that happen we truly blend art and science. We pride ourselves on doing the tough cases, from complex restorative to the purely cosmetic . We make them function properly and look realistic and pleasing to the patient. Our name says it all: Functional Esthetics. (To learn more please visit our outdated website: functionalesthetics.com) Our current logo incorporates the words: artistry, integrity and service.
This is primarily for existing markets. Our target audience is made up of dentists. Our name is widely known in the industry. They pay more for our products than they do most other places. They are usually in a more established practice, although we want something that will be attractive to younger dentists as well.
Blue black and gray are our current colors, but you are welcomed to try others. People know us by our name so it needs be there.
I don't want an outline of a tooth. Nothing wispy. It needs to feel solid, dependable, yet bold. It might even be made into an exterior sign. Working off of the "F" and the "E" might be good. It's tough because our name is so long.
Looking for a true logo. Brand identification. want creative, not stodgy. Knock yourselves out. Thanks.

Although Ice Age glaciers covered the Champlain Valley over 10,000 years ago and helped carve out Lake Champlain, their actions were superimposed on a landscape already prepared to host a lake.
Two factors made what is now the Champlain Valley better suited to host a large lake than any of the surrounding area between Lake Ontario and the Connecticut River. First, a valley probably already existed here. Second, the bedrock was softer and easier to erode than in the surrounding mountains.
We begin the story of the pre-existing valley 160 million years ago. At this time, all the continental plates were mashed together in the supercontinent known as Pangea with what was to become the Champlain Valley near the center. The Green Mountains already towered over the area. The Adirondacks we know had not yet arisen.
The ancient supercontinent of Pangea was beginning to break apart. As the continental plates separated, oceanic crust formed between them and the Atlantic Ocean grew. As the plates pulled apart, the crust stretched like pizza dough. In some places, lava squirted through rips in the crust forming volcanoes. In other areas rock layers cracked and shifted forming faults. Many faults lay along what is now a north south orientation, parallel to the crust's movement.
Between two of these parallel faults, large blocks shifted downward forming a graben (German for ditch). Imagine holding a deck of cards perpendicular between your hands. By squeezing the cards you can keep the deck whole, but if you relax your grip the center portion slips downward. The breaks between the cards represent faults. The cards that fall are the graben. One example of the graben-forming fault can be seen at the Palisades, the cliffs opposite the mouth of the Otter Creek. In a span of a mere mile or two, the rocks change from flat limestones on Vermont to much older metamorphosed rocks of the Adirondacks. The limestones in the valley clearly dropped many thousands of feet relative to the adjacent Adirondack rocks.
Even millions of years before the glaciers arrived, the graben had likely widened and deepened. The surrounding mountains would have prevented water from escaping in other directions. The ancient rivers that drained these mountains left few traces. However, water flowing off them would have sought planes of weakness in the rocks of the graben, eroding the ditch over time.
Such erosion would have been facilitated by the second factor in our tale, the relative softness of the underlying limestone and dolomite bedrock. Limestone and dolomite are both calcium carbonate based rocks. Calcium carbonate dissolves in weak acids, and rainwater is naturally acidic because of the presence of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.
Over time these factors can tremendously weaken rock. For example, many of the world's most impressive natural cave formations, like Mammoth Cave in Kentucky, occur in limestone. Meanwhile the bedrock of the surrounding mountain is quartzite and granite, rocks much harder and more resistant.
The valley bedrock formed, long before the graben dropped, long before Pangea had formed, somewhere between 600 and 450 million years ago. At that time what is now the eastern United States was covered by a warm shallow ocean. Warm because the entire area was located closer to the equator. Shallow because the ocean water sat over the edge of the continental crust, like the Mediterranean Sea or Bahama shelf does today, rather than over deep crust like that of continental mountain belts.
Meanwhile, corals and other sea creatures inhabited this ocean with shells of calcium carbonate. Over millions of years their shells fell to the sea floor when the organisms died, mixed with sediments washing in from the surrounding land, and with time and pressure formed today's bedrock. Meanwhile, the entire region drifted northward upon shifting tectonic plates to its present location. Remnants of these early coral reefs with fossils intact can still be found throughout the Champlain Valley, with some of the best examples preserved on Grand Isle and Isle la Motte in the middle of Lake Champlain and at Crown Point N.Y.
So when the glaciers arrived the stage had already been set. The graben had produced a valley through which they could flow. Soft sedimentary rocks comprised the bedrock of that valley. Meanwhile, years of rainwater and running water had weakened the bedrock. As the ice sheets oozed through, pushing their layer of rocks beneath them like sandpaper, it was easy enough to deepen the Champlain Valley before filling it with melt water when they finally retreated.

All morning long I rode the "step on, step off" trolley around Key West.
Up one street and down the next, past the cemetery where B. P. Robert's tombstone read, "I told you I was sick," past the guarded complex where President Truman relaxed in Aloha shirts, past Mel Fisher's museum where you can hold a bar of gold retrieved from a sunken ship in the Caribbean, past Key West High School sporting both pink buildings and a pink conch mascot, past the Convent of Mary Immaculate where more than 600 men were hospitalized during the Spanish American War, past bars busy at 10 a.m., and past intriguing houses tucked behind tropical gardens measured like carpets in square feet.
That was fine, but what I wanted to see was the house where Ernest Hemingway lived and wrote, "To Have and Have Not," "The Snows of Kilimanjaro," and "The Short Happy Life of Francis Macomber."
I knew where it was. I had ridden past it three times that morning.
I took a short break at the hotel before heading back out. Thank goodness the trolley stop was only a block from the Hemingway house. At the kiosk out front, I bought a ticket. The house is not associated with any of Hemingway's descendants. They sold it shortly after his death and it is owned and operated as a private enterprise.
A docent, who seemed more like someone leading guests through his home, was telling stories, some of which might be true.
I knew that Hemingway was still with his first wife Hadley Richardson in Paris when he met Pauline Pfeiffer, who he married in 1927, shortly after his divorce and brought to Key West via Havana.
Living in a rental apartment didn't suit Pauline and she found the house at 907 Whitehead Street and persuaded her doting and wealthy Uncle Gus to buy it for them as a wedding present, which he did at a tax sale in 1931 for the grand sum of $8,000.
The house had been built by Asa Tift, a notorious salvage wrecker and marine architect who constructed the house from limestone quarried onsite in 1851, a time when Key West thrived on pirates, privateers and profiteers like him who encouraged shipwrecks on the outlying coral reefs.
It is the sort of house you can easily fall in love with - Spanish Colonial in design, porches all around upstairs and down, floor to ceiling windows, airy, but solid enough to withstand the most devastating of storms and surrounded by an acre of gardens where Pauline had a huge swimming pool blasted out of the rock at the ridiculous price of $20,000.
Depending on whom you talk to, Hemingway had cats in Cuba, not in Key West where there were peacocks on the grounds.
These days, there are about 40 or so cats at the Whitehead Street house and yes, some do have six toes.
They also are named for famous people and a few came when called, although I think it was the cat treat doled out by the docent they liked.
One story was that Hemingway worked in the mornings, but enjoyed being with his friends at Joe Russell's bar later in the day. When Joe's landlord raised his rent from $3 to $4 a month, Joe protested to no avail.
Irritated, he moved his Sloppy Joe's Bar over to a new location on Duval Street with his loyal patrons bringing along whatever they could carry.
Hemingway wanted the urinal as a souvenir.
Pauline was not too happy to see her husband coming home with this treasure, but Hemingway assured her it would be a wonderful water trough for the cats.
They refuse to drink from it.
These days, tourists like me gawk at the studio where Hemingway wrote and have our picture taken with his desk in the background.
For a boy from Illinois, four wives and a Nobel and Pulitzer Prize to his credit, he left us with a wealth of outstanding tales and memories of a life lived hard and ending in great pain.
But, in the house on Whitehead Street, it seemed that he was a happy man.

A. Every 24 hours, your newborn should nurse eight to 12 times and produce at least six wet diapers. Depending on his or her age, a baby should have two to five loose yellow bowel movements per day.
A. Try tucking a tissue inside.
A. Breast-feed often to minimize engorgement, a temporary overfilling of your breasts. It also helps to express, or squeeze out, a little breast milk before each feeding.
Your body soon will adjust to produce only as much milk as your baby needs. In the meantime, you can use an over-the-counter pain medicine to relieve pain. Acetaminophen or ibuprofen will not harm your baby. Cold compresses between breast-feeding sessions also may reduce pain and swelling.
A. The following strategies should help:
Ask your doctor or a nurse if you are holding your baby correctly.
Breast-feed on the least sore side.
Try the football hold, tucking your baby under your arm like a football with your arm cradling his or her head. This position puts the baby's lips in a different place on your breast.
Let expressed milk dry on your nipples between feedings. To speed this up, dry your nipples with a hair dryer set on low.
Apply purified lanolin cream to your breasts.
A. Use cotton pads in your bra to absorb liquid. And keep a sweater, jacket, or change of blouse handy.

Extracted From An Inside View of the Formation of the State of West Virginia, by William P. Willey (Wheeling: The News Publishing Company, 1901), 242-45.
Hon. Chester D. Hubbard was of English ancestry, he being descended from William Hubbard, who landed at Plymouth in 1630, and settled at Ipswich, Mass. The subject of this sketch was the eldest son of Dana Hubbard, who came with his family to Pittsburg in 1815, Chester D. Hubbard, born in Hamden, Connecticut, November 25, 1814, being then but six months old, and reaching Wheeling in 1819, where he located. Chester D. Hubbard was but four and one-half years old when his father reached Wheeling, and hence he spent nearly seventy-three years of his life as a resident of that city.
In his childhood he attended the local schools until he was thirteen years of age, and then went to work, in mills, brickyards, etc., until he attained his majority. On his twenty-first birthday he began preparations for acquiring an additional education, and shortly afterwards he entered the Wesleyan University at Middletown, Conn., where he graduated in 1840, standing first in his class. He at once returned to Wheeling and engaged in business, being largely led to that career by his father's failing health. Thus were laid the foundations of a business career which remains a matter for emulation by all. Mr. Hubbard first embarked in the lumber business, which he carried on successfully until 1852, when he, with Mr. D. C. List and others, established the Bank of Wheeling, Mr. Hubbard becoming the President of the institution. He continued in that enterprise until 1865, later continuing the banking business through the German Bank, of which institution he was President at the time of his death.
In 1859 he organized a company which, under the title of C. D. Hubbard & Co., leased the Crescent Iron Mill and engaged in the manufacture of railroad iron for over a year. He was also one of the organizers of the Wheeling Hinge Company and was a director of that company at the time of his death. In 1871 he became secretary of the reorganized Wheeling Iron and Nail Company, which he continued to fill. He was also a member of the firm of Logan & Co. for twenty years and was president of the Logan Drug Company at the time of his death.
For years prior to 1873 Mr. Hubbard was active in attempting to secure the building of a railroad from Wheeling north along the Ohio river, and in the year named he became one of the incorporators of the Pittsburg, Wheeling and Kentucky Railroad Company, and in 1874 was chosen its President, which position he filled right along until his death. The success of that business enterprise is known to all, and much of it is due to the business sagacity and good management of the deceased. Mr. Hubbard was also interested in other business enterprises, and throughout his life was a firm believer in the advantages of Wheeling as a manufacturing and business center.
Mr. Hubbard was long prominent in public life. He was a member of the Virginia House of Delegates in 1852-3, from Ohio county, and in 1861 he was a member of the Convention which passed the ordinance of secession, strenuously opposing that measure. He left the Convention immediately after the adoption of the ordinance, arriving on Friday, and at once issued a call for mass meetings at the Guards hose house (hook and ladder) and at American hall, on the South Side. By Sunday, two days after his arrival, he had the satisfaction of seeing two companies of soldiers organized and sworn in. In a week a full regiment had been organized, of which he was elected Colonel. Mr. Hubbard was a member of the Wheeling Convention, which met in May, 1861, and of the Convention which assembled in June of the same year, looking to the establishment of a restored government for the State of Virginia, and the formation of a new State. When West Virginia was formed, Mr. Hubbard was chosen to the State Senate. He was elected to the Thirty-ninth Congress, and was re-elected to the Fortieth Congress.
Mr. Hubbard was, throughout his life, an earnest friend of education. He was chosen a trustee of the Linsly Institute in 1848, and in 1873 was. elected treasurer, which office he continued to fill. He was active in founding the Wheeling Female College, was one of the trustees, and was President of the Board from 1865 up to the sale of the property.
Mr. Hubbard was married September 20, 1842, to Sarah Pallister, an English lady, a step-daughter of the late John List. Five children were the results of this union: William Pallister Hubbard, Dana List Hubbard, Chester Russell Hubbard, Julia A., wife of W. A. Tyler, of Triadelphia, and Anna G., wife of Joseph C. Brady.
Mr. Hubbard was a member of the Chapline Street Methodist Church at Wheeling, and at no time in the history of the society has the church been favored with a more warm and earnest worker.
In 1872 he was a lay delegate to the General Conference of the M. E. Church, which met in Brooklyn. He was a prominent official member of the Chapline Street M. E. Church, and that denomination had no member who was truer to its tenets than he. He was a religious man; not only a professor of religion, but a practical Christian, going to his church duties with the same earnestness and the same devotion that he put into everything his hand found to do. He was a liberal man, but conscientious in the extreme, and to his activity and zeal was due in considerable degree the prosperity of the church with which he was united.
His activity in the varied walks of life which his energy and his versatile talents peculiarly fitted him did not cease until death admitted him to the reward of the just man made perfect. In 1880 he was a delegate to the Republican Convention at Chicago which nominated Garfield and Arthur, and after his return home he made a speech in the Opera House at the memorable ratification meting of the Republicans of Wheeling, which had in it more fire and fervor, and which was received with greater enthusiasm than all the speeches made by younger men.
Four years later he was a decided partisan of Blaine, and took as active a part in the preliminary fight for him as anybody in the State. He was a member of the primary convention and of the State and district conventions, and never missed an opportunity to strike a blow for his man.

Another Wikipedia map (don't worry, they won't all be from there), showing battles of the American Civil War, based on National Park Service data:
Amazingly enough, it turns out that the red-coded counties, coded for "Eastern Theater," are, in fact all in the east! The color coding has no particular use here, except to show you the difference between the NPS-defined theaters of the war. Why not just draw a border around the zones, so that you don't need a confusing rainbow of colors to tell you roughly nothing that isn't apparent by looking at where the filled-in counties are?
Also, why is "Mult. Years" the darkest color? This map's color scheme suggests that "darker is later" – 1863 is darker than 1861. Making a county that saw battles in multiple years (about half of the ones on the map) even darker than the color for 1865 makes it seem like they were fighting the war there well into the 1870s. A media conspiracy has kept it secret.
Quick tip: Let's say you're making a map of something that happened, say, 140+ years ago. Using modern county and state borders might be ill-advised.
It looks like the US is tilted backwards. Maybe it's a commentary by the author – "Look! The US is falling over…a house divided cannot stand!" Actually, what probably happened is they used a sinusoidal projection, which is good for showing the whole world at times, but not so good for showing one country at high latitudes.
One Nice Thing: The color scheme for the years within each theater makes some level of sense – the colors are arranged in a light-to-dark pattern as the years go on. Excepting, of course, the color for "Mult. Years." Good cartographic sense.

Recapping my epic 2012!
December 31, 2012 in Blogging, Book Reviews, Misc, Novel, On Writing
Who would have thought I'd be counting down the hours to 2013 when it was all supposed to end for everyone 10 days ago?
But anyway, I'm here (at work, actually) and I've been contemplating what a colossal year 2012 has been. Of course, there's the big one — learning how to be a father to the most adorable little baby boy in the history of the universe, who has taken up the majority of my time and effort and SLEEP. But it's also him that has made 2012 the most remarkable and wonderful year of my life thus far.
On the work front, I started a new full-time job where I get to write and edit all day. For the first time ever, I actually don't mind going to the office every day, and I love the fact that I get to go home at a reasonable hour every night so I can spend time with my son before he goes to bed. It's also a stable job that potentially allows me to do a lot of extra-curricular stuff, whether it be freelance work or other personal writings, such as this blog. Unfortunately, my lack of experience and desire to "take it easy" means I have probably squandered many of those hours that could have been put to better use.
That said, I have done my fair share of freelance work this year too. I started off completing a mammoth editing job for a travel book that had been horrendously translated. It was definitely not worth it from a monetary perspective but at least I have now been officially named as the editor of a published book (which I am yet to see, by the way). Apart from that and my regular book reviews for a trade publication, I also did some work for a well-known international magazine, which eventually lead to my first cover feature article. I didn't exactly love the way it turned out after the editor played with it, but it's better than having no article published at all.
The highlight of my working life this year has to be my trip to Beijing to cover the Communist Party's leadership transition, which was exhausting but rewarding. I'm glad I got to see and learn so much, but I'm also happy that it won't happen again for another 10 years.
Health wise, it's been a mixed bag. Physically, I managed to get fitter than I've ever been after commencing a daily exercise routine that began last October and lasted about 12 months. I'm still trying to get back into it, actually. However, the fatigue and poor quality sleep has also taken its toll, and I've been under the weather more times than I can remember. It's frustrating because you feel like you're rarely feeling 100%.
Despite the positives, it's also been a year where a lot of my goals went unrealized. I basically did not touch either of my work-in-progress novels for the entire year, which is pathetic and not worthy of an excuse. I didn't write that screenplay I had been itching to write either. And I also didn't monetize my blog like I had promised myself I would.
On the reading front, I only read 14 books this year, dominated by the Hunger Games trilogy, Steve Jobs biography and the first two books of the 50 Shades trilogy (I'm still stuck on the third and final book). Actually, I blame it all on 50 Shades for turning me off reading this year because it's been a huge struggle getting through them. Why do I torture myself?
These are the things I wish I had more time to complete, but my shifting priorities had placed them all on the back burner. In fact, I'm still putting them off until I can finish posting all of my backlogged movie and restaurant reviews, which means it might be a while before I can even get started.
So what's in store for 2013? A lot. That's my guess. I'm personally hoping that things will become more stable on a day-to-day basis and that I can be more motivated to work on my projects. My focus next year — my new year's resolution, so to speak — will be on the things I failed to accomplish this year: the novels, the screenplay, and doing more reading. I tend to always oversimplify things and set myself targets that are impossible to reach, so this year I'll just say that I'd like to at least do more on/of those things in 2013 than I did in 2012.
So I guess if my 2012 was "epic" then I'd like my 2013 to be simply "productive."
See you next year!

Societal change usually happens slowly, even once it's clear there's a problem. That's because, in a country as big as the United States, public opinion moves in leisurely currents. Change often requires going up against powerful, established interests, and it can take decades for those currents to erode the foundations of our special-interest fortresses. Think civil rights, gay marriage, equal rights for women.
Even facing undeniably real problems — say, discrimination against gay people — one can make the case that gradual change is the best option. Had some mythical liberal Supreme Court declared, in 1990, that gay marriage was now the law of the land, the backlash might have been swift and severe.
With climate change, however, there simply isn't time to waste. It's not a fight, like gay marriage, between conflicting groups with conflicting opinions. It's a fight between human beings and physics. And physics is entirely uninterested in human timetables. Physics couldn't care less if precipitous action raises gas prices or damages the coal industry in swing states. It couldn't care less whether putting a price on carbon slowed the pace of development in China or made agribusiness less profitable.
