In the meantime, however, the building's owner has opened it up to street artists. The residency program, known as One Day One Artist, allows artists to work in the sprawling building. The result is a kind of street art heaven. A small selection of the artists involved are pictured here: (respectively) The Atlas, Seth, Sambre, Jeanne Susplugas, SWIZ, Philippe Baudelocque, ZeeR, Thomas Canto, and STEN LEX. [via]

I went to Dr. Lee and he was the best. He seemed to care a lot about details to make sure everything was done right, and he made me feel very comfortable. Highly recommend.
Sam, Winston – Salem, NC
One of MD's Best! If you are able to be flexible on your dentist, Dr. Lee is one of the best dentist's in Maryland. I had been a patient of his for years until I moved and changed insurance plans. I'm sad to say that I haven't found any dentist quite as good as Dr. Lee had been. He's great at making recommendations, getting ot know each patient individually, and just has an overall great demeanor and personality.
Tatiana, Gaithersburg, MD
I appreciated that they were still concerned about my health even after I left the office. They followed up with me after my appointment and everything. I was completely at ease during my appointment here. They went to great lengths to make sure I was completely relaxed and comfortable the entire time. They are so kind and caring, and they stay open way past their closing time to help anyone who needs them. They wouldn't deny anyone that needed help. I know I can always count on them. They had a huge selection of magazines in the waiting room. I was able to find some of my favorites and they kept me entertained while I was waiting for my appointment. I knew I was getting top-of-the-line treatment when they told me about what they learned at the latest conference they attended, and how they were incorporating that knowledge into the practice.

Riding High
I've tried to write this about 5 different ways, and each time I stop, thinking that the universe is going to slap me down for my hubris. But really, I know that this has NOTHING to do with me, or anything that I've done, and I am just ebullient at what's been happening.
EJ has been napping. And sleeping. And not spewing up crazy amounts of milk. (Okay, that last one's me. I don't eat tomatoes.)
But the napping? A week ago EJ would flip out if I wasn't holding him all the time. This week? I plop him in the crib under his new mobile and Mom Who? Check out that cool black circle with a red dot! It's hilarious! And mesmerizing! Like hypnosis that makes him incredibly happy and sleepy all at the same time.
Link to video of squeaking cooing cuteness. Also, EJ rips one at the end. Cracks me up every time, because obviously I am 8 years old at heart.
I wasn't even trying to put him down for a nap, I was just trying to put him down for 2 minutes while I took care of some bathroom business and I came back into the room and he was drifting off to sleep. Seriously, this has happened twice now – Monday at nap time and last night at bed time. I could have smacked myself in the face, because he had a huge load in his pants too, and I knew I couldn't leave him in there too long. (We compromised – I let him lay in it for about 45 minutes when he started to stir… and I don't feel bad about it.)
Anyway, score one for my mother, who bought us the mobile over Christmas and in her infinite motherly wisdom knew that it would be a lifesaver.
Right. On.
And now that I have spoken of it, I know it will never happen again. Also, EJ goes for his first set of vaccinations tomorrow and then we have houseguests all weekend so I know I'm in for a rough couple of days. I really hope he's feeling better by the time his visitors arrive.
Last night, in the happy time I was granted by the mobile I worked on my super secret knitting project. I still can't talk about it (soon!) but I can gush (I'm in a gushing mood, can you tell?) about my new KnitPicks Harmony dpn set. Amazing. Smooth, strong, flexible (still talking about needles here. Knitting needles.) they make me very very happy. I've never been a huge fan of dpns, but I am a convert. I can see how people wouldn't mind, or daresay even LIKE using them for socks.
So I suppose you dpn lovers aren't all crazy. My bad.
Doesn't hurt either that they're so pretty.

March 12, 2009
The Hudson Reporter
By Christopher M. Halleron
I lost 19 lbs.
I did the Standard Process Purification Program and I lost 19 lbs. in three weeks.
A few weeks back I met with nutritionist Inna Topiler at Complete Nutrition and Wellness, 80 Park Ave. in Hoboken, to discuss their detox/cleansing program. With a lull in festivities between the Super Bowl and St. Patrick's Day, I figured there was no better time to take it easy and give the ol' pipes a cleaning.
The Standard Process Purification Program is a 21-day "gentle" cleanse, "gentle" meaning it doesn't demand you keep yourself within 20 feet of a toilet bowl at all times. Without getting too graphic, I will simply say there were no… ahem… urgency emergencies on this program. When they say "gentle" they mean "gentle," and that's all I'm going to say on that issue.
In order to carry out the cleanse there were certain dietary restrictions – make that MAJOR dietary restrictions. No nicotine was no problem, as I quit smoking three years ago. No red meat, no cured meat – fair enough. No caffeine, no worries. No booze, surprisingly easy, despite what any regular reader of this column might think. No bread, however, possibly one of the most difficult undertakings of my adult life.
Think about it – no bagels, no sandwiches, no pizza, no pasta. In a town with some of the best bakeries, delis and Italian joints in the world, this becomes quite a temptation.
But my diet had some room for creativity. Grilled chicken and fish were alright, along with brown rice, lentils and this crazy vegetarian staple called quinoa (pronounced keen-wah) which looks and tastes like a cross between pastina and sprouts. Cook it all in organic chicken broth and fresh spices and you're off to the races. Fill in the gaps with fruits and veggies, and you soon realize just how easy it is to eat healthy.
In the time it takes me to put my shoes on, walk down to the burger joint, order the burgers, pick 'em up and walk home, I could have made a healthy, delicious grilled salmon with diced scallion on a bed of lentils with a salad. In the time it takes for a pizza delivery, I could cook up grilled chicken with cilantro with brown rice and fresh peppers. And when you start looking at the healthier alternative as the easier alternative, that's when you begin to see the benefits of a healthier lifestyle.
Oh, did I mention I lost 19 lbs.? That's all well and good, but in my mind it was a mere side-effect considering the overall improvements. I felt better, had more energy, and believe it or not seemed a bit less irritable. I slept regularly and woke up feeling refreshed. It's a good feeling, and one that I miss already.
After one weekend off the wagon and on the booze and cheeseburgers, I'm ready to go back. It's more than a 21-day cleanse, it's a window into a better way of life. Sure, it's nice to grab a pint every now and then. Of course I'd love to enjoy the odd bagel. And a pizza sure would be a nice treat. So henceforth I'll look at my daily bread as luxury rather than a staple.
Yeah, I lost 19 lbs, but more importantly I gained a new perspective. Three weeks of healthy living does not wipe clean decades of overindulgence.

Date Fairness.com Resource Read it at: Mar 07, 2011 Flailing After Muslims
QUOTE: "To single out Muslim-Americans as the source of homegrown terrorism," (Rabbi Marc Schneier) said, "and not examine all forms of violence motivated by extremist belief — that, my friends, is an injustice."
New York Times Feb 24, 2011 Suit Accuses F.B.I. of Spying at Mosques in California
QUOTE: The American Civil Liberties Union of Southern California and the Los Angeles chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations say in the suit that the informant, Craig Monteilh, violated members' civil rights and subjected them to "indiscriminate surveillance" because of their religion.
New York Times Feb 04, 2011 Super Bowl Ads Will Leave a Religious Question Unanswered
QUOTE: But according to Fox Sports, which will broadcast the Super Bowl this year, the verse you can see in the stands on television is not suitable for a commercial. The network's rejection of a 30-second spot centered on John 3:16 is just one example of an advertising culture that can be allergic to expressions of faith.
New York Times Jul 28, 2010 The Burqa and the Body Electric
QUOTE: In her post of July 11, "Veiled Threats?" and her subsequent response to readers, Martha Nussbaum considers the controversy over the legal status of the burqa — which continues to flare across Europe — making a case for freedom of religious expression.
New York Times Jul 23, 2010 Israel Puts Off Crisis Over Conversion Law
QUOTE: But after objections from the ultra-Orthodox, the bill formally placed authority for conversion in the hands of the chief rabbinate and declared Orthodox Jewish law to be the basis of conversion, making Americans fear that their more lenient conversion processes would be invalidated.
Jul 18, 2010 Moral Camouflage or Moral Monkeys?
QUOTE: "As near morality as monkeys can make." So the question is, just how near is that? Optimistic Darwinians believe, near enough to be morality. But skeptical Darwinians won't buy it. The great show we humans make of respect for moral principle they see as a civilized camouflage for an underlying, evolved psychology of a quite different kind.
New York Times Jul 11, 2008 Serenity Prayer Stirs Up Doubt: Who Wrote It?
QUOTE: Ms. Sifton faults Mr. Shapiro's approach as computer-driven and deprived of historical and theological context. In an interview, she said her father traveled widely in the 1930s, preaching in college chapels and to church groups — especially Y.M.C.A.'s and Y.W.C.A.'s — and could have used the prayer then. She said she fixed the date of its composition to 1943 in her book, "The Serenity Prayer: Faith and Politics in Times of Peace and War" (W. W. Norton, 2003), because she had relied on her parents' recollections. Ms. Sifton said the newly unearthed quotations were merely evidence that her father's spellbinding preaching had had a broad impact. And she said she took greatest umbrage at Mr. Shapiro's notion that the prayer was so simple that it could have been written by almost anyone in any era.
New York Times Jul 08, 2008 Telling Tajiks' Fortunes, Now Under the Table (Dushanbe Journal)
QUOTE: Lawmakers at the beginning of the year adopted legislation outlawing all forms of what they call "witchcraft," saying that it was an illegal, parasitical industry that had grown to unacceptable proportions. (In light of that, Arzida and a customer of hers, Nazira, asked to be identified only by their first names.)
New York Times Jun 30, 2008 Anglican Conservatives, Rebelling on Gays, Will Form New Power Bloc
QUOTE: They insisted that they were not breaking away from the Anglican Communion or creating a schism. But their plans, if carried out, could create severe upheaval in the communion, the world's third largest grouping of churches, after the Roman Catholic Church and the Orthodox churches.
New York Times Jun 25, 2008 Religion and Its Role Are in Dispute at the Service Academies
QUOTE: Three years after a scandal at the Air Force Academy over the evangelizing of cadets by Christian staff and faculty members, students and staff at West Point and the Naval Academy are complaining that their schools, too, have pushed religion on cadets and midshipmen.
New York Times Jun 23, 2008 Some Muslim Americans Feel Shunned by Obama
QUOTE: While the senator has visited churches and synagogues, he has yet to appear at a single mosque. Muslim and Arab-American organizations have tried repeatedly to arrange meetings with Mr. Obama, but officials with those groups say their invitations — unlike those of their Jewish and Christian counterparts — have been ignored. Last week, two Muslim women wearing head scarves were barred by campaign volunteers from appearing behind Mr. Obama at a rally in Detroit.
New York Times May 30, 2008 Marine in Iraq Suspended Over Coins Quoting Gospel
QUOTE: criticized U.S. troops, whom many in the city view as occupiers, for acting like Christian missionaries. He said the coins were part of a pattern of insensitivity toward Muslims, citing the outcry this month over a U.S. sniper in Baghdad who used a Koran, Islam's holiest book, as a target for practice.
Washington Post Apr 17, 2008 The Pope's Sex Abuse Apology: Benedict talks to bishops about the wounds of the sex abuse scandal. But many victims want an explicit apology—and action.
QUOTE: Just how far the Roman Catholic Church must go to address the recent sex abuse scandals has—so far—overshadowed Pope Benedict XVI's first papal visit to the United States...In his speech Benedict told the bishops that "rightly, you attach priority to showing compassion and care to the victims" but stopped short of announcing a new system or changes in canon law that might lead to stricter controls, as some had hoped he would.
Newsweek Apr 02, 2008 Muslim reformer's 'heresy': The Islamic state is a dead end: From Nigeria to Indonesia, Sudanese law professor spreads ideas of a secular state and human rights.
QUOTE: "My motivation is in fact about being an honest, true-to-myself Muslim, rather than someone complying with state dictates," says Mr. Naim, a professor of law at Emory University in Atlanta since 1999. "I need the state to be neutral about religious doctrine so that I can be the Muslim I choose to be."
Christian Science Monitor Mar 21, 2008 At Harvard, Students' Muslim Traditions Are a Topic of Debate
QUOTE: Two issues of Muslim practice — whether the call to prayer should ring out across Harvard Yard and whether the university should grant women separate gym hours — have unleashed small waves of controversy over how Harvard practices tolerance.
New York Times Mar 05, 2008 Inside Islam, a woman's roar: Wazhma Frogh, an Afghan, uses her religion to press for women's rights – and development agencies take note.
QUOTE: Where rigid interpretations of Islam relegate women to second-class status, [one Afghan woman] uses rhetorical jujitsu to turn religious arguments on their heads and win women's rights. Her steely determination has earned her attention in Washington.
Christian Science Monitor Feb 22, 2008 Articles Of Faith: Ridiculing gay men is hateful way to preach
QUOTE: ...I have no problem with the effort to make church work better for men or challenging men to step up and do something with their lives...[but] I have a big problem with the guy emphasis when it relies on making gay men objects of derision and ridicule.
Seattle Post-Intelligencer Feb 16, 2008 Imprisoned, Rabbi Sues Over Space for Prayer
QUOTE: [A rabbi] who was convicted of fraudulently obtaining more than $4 million, asserts that his ability to pray...has been violated by the Bureau of Prisons' insistence that he pray in his cell. The cell contains a toilet, making it an unclean place to pray for Jews...
New York Times Feb 13, 2008 Religion Joins Custody Cases, to Judges' Unease
QUOTE: Across the country, child-custody disputes in which religion is the flash point are increasing...for constitutional reasons, judges are reluctant to base their rulings primarily on the religious preferences of parents.
New York Times Feb 02, 2008 Evangelical Democrats, Exit Polls and a Matter of Balance
QUOTE: ...evangelical leaders argued that exit polls have ignored "the bipartisan courtship of evangelical voters" and "perpetuated the misperception that all evangelical Christians are Republicans..." This bias in polling questions," [Howard] Dean said in a letter to the National Election Pool consortium, "has in turn shaped news coverage, making it appear that one party has a monopoly on religion in this race."
New York Times Feb 01, 2008 NFL Pulls Plug On Big-Screen Church Parties For Super Bowl
QUOTE: ...a number of churches in the Washington area and elsewhere [have] been forced to use a new playbook to satisfy the NFL, which said that airing games at churches on large-screen TV sets violates the NFL copyright.
Washington Post Dec 18, 2007 A Midnight Service Helps African Immigrants Combat Demons
QUOTE: Those other churches might argue that such a focus on witchcraft is a relic of Africans' old beliefs, a dangerously pagan preoccupation. But scholars say this is Christianity made profoundly African. Spiritual Warfare considers itself Pentecostal, and like many other Pentecostals, worshipers see the battle between God and Satan, or what they also call the Bible against witchcraft, shaping the world.
New York Times Dec 08, 2007 Episcopal Diocese Votes to Secede
QUOTE: Traditionalists at home and abroad assert that the Bible describes homosexuality as an abomination, and they consider the Episcopal Church's ordination of Bishop Robinson as the latest and most galling proof of its rejection of biblical authority.
New York Times Dec 02, 2007 The Good Fight
QUOTE: Like many other churches in poor, hardscrabble cities like Trenton, where violence and drugs have shorn whole generations from those that came before them, often with death or incarceration, the New Life Christian Center, where Mr. Granville is the co-pastor, has made outreach one of its missions and its youth ministry a haven for teenagers in a city where the police say nearly half of the 25 murder victims so far this year are under the age of 25.
New York Times Nov 26, 2007 Politics of Race and Religion: Moral Issues Leave Black Evangelicals Torn Between Parties
QUOTE: As a group, blacks attend religious services more frequently than whites and are less supportive of gay rights. In a Washington Post-Kaiser Family Foundation-Harvard University poll this summer, 43 percent of white Democrats supported same-sex marriage, about double the percentage of black Democrats who said they do. More than half of blacks said they oppose both same-sex marriage and legal recognition of same-sex civil unions.
Washington Post Oct 28, 2007 The Evangelical Crackup
QUOTE: The phenomenon of theologically conservative Christians plunging into political activism on the right is, historically speaking, something of an anomaly. Most evangelicals shrugged off abortion as a Catholic issue until after the 1973 Roe v. Wade decision. But in the wake of the ban on public-school prayer, the sexual revolution and the exodus to the suburbs that filled the new megachurches, protecting the unborn became the rallying cry of a new movement to uphold the traditional family. Now another confluence of factors is threatening to tear the movement apart.
New York Times Oct 04, 2007 Critic of Islam Confronts Dutch Over Guards
QUOTE: Ayaan Hirsi Ali, an outspoken Dutch critic of Islam who moved to the United States to escape death threats in the Netherlands, has returned there to fight a Dutch government plan to cut off financing for her bodyguards, her lawyer said Wednesday.
New York Times Sep 04, 2007 New York public school accused of radical Islamist agenda
QUOTE: A public school in New York that will teach Arabic language and culture opened Tuesday amid accusations that it will impose a radical Islamist agenda in its classrooms.
CNN (Cable News Network) Aug 29, 2007 Teresa, Bright and Dark: The nun's leading critic argues that her crisis of faith - revealed in newly published letters - was brought on by the crushing unreasonableness of the Roman Catholic Faith
QUOTE: It seems, therefore, that all the things that made Mother Teresa famous—the endless hard toil, the bitter austerity, the ostentatious religious orthodoxy—were only part of an effort to still the misery within.
MSNBC Aug 20, 2007 Cleveland Diocese Accused of Impropriety as Embezzlement Trial Nears
QUOTE: A former assistant treasurer of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Cleveland is to go on trial Monday, accused of taking part in widespread financial mismanagement and looting of church funds.
New York Times Jul 27, 2007 Congressmen Seek Chaplain Probe
QUOTE: A bipartisan group of House members is trying to force Health and Human Services Secretary Mike Leavitt to order an inspector general's investigation into allegations of religious bias and mismanagement at the spiritual ministry department in the nation's largest clinical research hospital.
Washington Post Jul 11, 2007 Pope, Restating 2000 Document, Cites 'Defects' of Other Faiths
QUOTE: Pope Benedict XVI restated Tuesday what he said were the "defects" of Christian faiths other than Roman Catholicism, prompting anger from Protestants who questioned the Vatican's respect for other beliefs.
New York Times Jun 11, 2007 Sri Lanka Human Rights Panel Is Criticized
QUOTE: An international panel appointed by the government of Sri Lanka has issued a stark indictment of a presidential commission impaneled to investigate serious human rights violations, saying that its activities so far "do not satisfy international norms and standards."
New York Times May 02, 2007 Irish court battle over teenager's abortion right: 'Tragic case' reignites call for constitutional change: Doctors say brain impaired baby would live only days
QUOTE: Abortion in this predominantly Catholic country, where the influence of the church has gradually weakened, remains illegal, with the ban on it written into the constitution. Abortions can only be performed if there is a substantial risk to the mother's life, which includes the threat of suicide. The law does not permit abortion on grounds of foetal abnormality.
Guardian Unlimited Apr 25, 2007 A comic about truth, justice, and the Islamic way: Muslim superheroes populate a new comic book designed to entertain – and serve a serious purpose
QUOTE: In light of international uproar in 2005 over Danish cartoons depicting the prophet Muhammad, a comic book about Muslim superheroes is sensitive terrain. The 99 is currently banned in Saudi Arabia, for example, because religious censors allege it attempts to give a face to God – something Islam absolutely prohibits. But al-Mutawa doesn't see The 99 as a comic about Islam so much as a culturally relevant way to inspire youth in a part of the world that doesn't get much positive press.
Christian Science Monitor Apr 20, 2007 Colombian President Denies Ties to Paramilitary Groups
QUOTE: But the scandal has raised allegations that dogged Uribe when he ran for president -- that he had ties with paramilitary organizations during his years as senator and governor of Antioquia, the country's industrial hub. Those groups, formed by landowners and funded by drug traffickers, eroded support for guerrillas by killing thousands of peasants and leftist politicians in a dirty war that has lasted a generation.
Washington Post Apr 16, 2007 Tide of Zimbabwean refugees swells: Amid allegations of torture and harassment, refugees say they had no choice but to flee.
QUOTE: Zimbabwe is marking 27 years of independence from Britain this week – all under Mugabe's rule – but the celebration has been marred by the country's devastated economy and a political crisis sparked by Mugabe's plan to seek another five-year term in 2008. Zimbabwe's main opposition leader, Morgan Tsvangirai, said last week that he would talk with Mugabe's party to try to end the crisis, which he says has resulted in the abduction and torture of 600 political activists this year.
Christian Science Monitor Apr 15, 2007 Ping: Creativity, Innovation and the Cultural Parade
QUOTE: Talk of national identity rarely comes up in public, but privately many people — from academia to venture capital firms — take for granted that the contours of a career in technology are often shaped by the national origin of the technologist.
New York Times Mar 28, 2007 'The Secret,' a phenomenon, is no mystery to many: Many say the book and DVD contain the key to unlimited happiness, health, money, and relationships. Others call the message misleading.
QUOTE: The book is small, like a diary or personal journal, with a cover that evokes parchment and a brilliant red seal. Just the kind of thing that might hold secrets or treasured thoughts...Yet along with the spiraling sales has come significant criticism for what some say is simply a cleverly repackaged message – and one that is misleading in its claims.
Christian Science Monitor Mar 15, 2007 Idahoans eager to thin resurgent gray wolf packs
QUOTE: Taking gray wolves off the list would clear the way for legal hunting for the first time since they were eradicated in the West, mainly through deliberate poisoning, in the early 1900s. Idaho wants to reduce its 600 or more wolves by as much as 75%.
USA TODAY Mar 08, 2007 Former Sailor Accused of Providing Data to Terrorist Web Site
QUOTE: Paul R. Hall, 31, allegedly used his position aboard the USS Benfold and his secret clearance to forward details of the battle group's defensive capabilities and how the ships were going to cross the Strait of Hormuz in April 2001. Federal officials wrote in a criminal complaint that Hall -- who is referred to as Hassan Abujihaad throughout the document -- was contacting the Web site to order jihad videos and supported the terrorist mission of attacking American targets such as the USS Cole.
Washington Post Mar 08, 2007 Ex-Teacher, Suing L.I. School District, Says She Was Accused of Witchcraft
QUOTE: ...a former reading teacher at Hampton Bays Elementary School, said the public school was being run by born-again Christians intent on converting students to "fundamentalist Christianity." She testified that this religious fervor culminated in her being run out of the school over accusations that she was practicing witchcraft and teaching it to children...[accusing] her of being a witch after she taught fifth graders about the Salem witch trials, exposed them to a children's book about witches and wizards and introduced them to the weird sisters of "Macbeth."
New York Times Mar 03, 2007 Evangelical Angers Peers With Call for Action on Global Warming
QUOTE: In a letter this week to the board of the NAE, which claims 30 million members, Dobson and his two dozen co-signers said the Rev. Richard Cizik, the NAE's vice president for government relations, has waged a "relentless campaign" that is "dividing and demoralizing" evangelicals.
Washington Post Feb 25, 2007 Ban on Prison Religious Program Challenged: U.S. Judge Ruled Evangelical Rehabilitation Effort in Iowa Is Unconstitutional
QUOTE: Rooted in evangelical Christianity and supported by more than $1.5 million in public funds, the method of the rehabilitation program is clear enough. A key question is its constitutionality. A trio of appellate judges, including former Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor, is reviewing a lower court's decision that the program violates the separation of church and state.
Washington Post Feb 24, 2007 Under New Management: When Religious Needs Test Company Policy
QUOTE: There are several reasons for the shift. For one, a global economy is bringing much greater religious diversity to the workplace Everyone wants their beliefs to be accepted, if not equally represented. Add to that the fact that religion is now a public topic, from a president who talks openly about his faith to a proliferation of religious television programming.
New York Times Feb 19, 2007 Bishops look at fleecings of flocks
QUOTE: The past year saw several cases where clerics were accused of stealing from their faithful. Some churchgoers say the thefts result from putting too much trust in one person and say more oversight is needed to stop it.
USA TODAY Feb 19, 2007 Pastor with 666 tattoo claims to be new Christ
QUOTE: De Jesus and his believers say their church -- "Creciendo en Gracia," Spanish for "Growing in grace" -- is misunderstood. Followers of the movement say they have proof that their minister is divine and that their church will one day soon be a major faith in the world.
CNN (Cable News Network) Feb 19, 2007 Student, 16, Finds Allies in His Fight Over Religion
QUOTE: The American Civil Liberties Union, the People for the American Way Foundation and a partner from a large Manhattan law firm stood beside the student, Matthew LaClair, as he and his family threatened to sue the Kearny Board of Education if their complaints are not resolved. Last fall, Matthew, 16, taped the teacher, David Paszkiewicz, telling students in a history class that if they do not believe that Jesus died for their sins, they "belong in hell."
New York Times Feb 15, 2007 Principle No. 4: Be Fair (Part 2): In order to determine fairness, including just punishment, we need to start by asking the right questions
QUOTE: We now turn to two more ways in which we can evince fairness in everyday life: retributive justice and rectificatory justice.
BusinessWeek Sep 06, 2006 Latest antiporn target: hotel-room TV: A campaign urges prosecution of hotels under obscenity laws – and directs people to smut-free lodging.
QUOTE: The pay-per-view service has brought hotels millions of dollars a year. But these days, the US hotel business is also attracting moral outrage and vitriol

Arnold Edward Falleder, born June 14, 1933, in Brooklyn, N.Y., passed away on Jan. 12, 2013, in Bronx, N.Y., due to complications from a stroke.
He was the son of William and Sadie Falleder of Brooklyn, N.Y., and the husband of Eloise Cohen Falleder, daughter of Jacob and Audrey Cohen of Stroudsburg.
Arnold was a published poet, loving father and devoted husband. He was the founder of the Falleder Group, a grant-writing agency, and traveled for many years from Cohoes and Harlem, N.Y. to Lynchburg, Va., Texas and San Francisco, helping city and state agencies and poverty groups raise funds.
An accomplished poet, Arnold received a Poet of the Year award from the Poetry Society of America and published three books: "Midrash for Macbeth" (Runaway Spoon Press, 2000), "William Said" (Generator Press, 1996) and "The God-Shed" (Runaway Spoon Press, 1992). He also contributed to several anthologies, including "The American Judaism Reader" (1967) and "Generator 9" (Generator Press, 1997). He published works in several journals, among them Christian Century, Cover, Fiddlehead, Onthebus, Purple, Rattle, Stone Country and The Poet.
Arnold and his wife, Eloise, were members of the Stephen Wise Free Synagogue and enjoyed studying the Torah with their Chaverah group. He was active in the West 87th Street Block Association and served several years on his building's co-op board. Arnold was a mensch and performed many mitzvahs.
He will be greatly missed by his wife, Eloise Cohen Falleder, and his daughters: Samantha Berman and her husband, Marc; and Gussie Singer and her husband, David. Aside from his wife and children, he is survived by his two granddaughters, Allison Lily Berman and Hannah Jean Singer, and his sister, Toby Falleder.
Family and friends may gather from noon until the time of the service Tuesday, Jan. 15, at Lanterman & Allen Funeral Home, 27 Washington St., East Stroudsburg. Services will be held at 1 p.m. Tuesday at the funeral home. Interment will follow at Laurelwood Cemetery, Bryant Street, Stroudsburg.

Eloise will continue Shiva in her home from 2 to 6 p.m. Thursday, Jan. 17, and from 2 to 6 p.m. Friday, Jan. 18. Samantha Berman will continue Shiva from 4 to 8 p.m. Thursday in her home, 565 W. End Ave., Apt. 3G, New York, NY 10024. Gussie Singer will continue Shiva from Thursday through Monday, Jan. 21, in her home at 27050 Cedar Road, Apt. 102, Beachwood, OH 44122.

anthonyalsop necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 54 diseños de 20 diseñadores freelance.
I am blogger and social media consultant on my website http://www.sportspiel.com.au and I need a logo! Not too corporate, as I think of my blog as a bit of fun, so would like the logo to be the same.
I'm from Australia with a sport and IT background and need a logo that can separate myself from the pack.
Be yourself designing the logo, and hopefully I'll think its myself.
My target market is those already involved in the sport and digital industry. For those you can look to Vayner Media, sportsnetworker.com, peterrobertcasey.com, activ8social.com and others.
They like both sport and technology, so I'd like an equal weighting on both themes.
Make it web 2.0
The wordds "sportspiel.com.au" don't have to be the main aspect of the logo. That can be given underneath.
The logo will be used on my website, and also as my company logo, so it needs to pop. It needs to have two themes, sport and social media/digital technology.
I'd prefer you didn't use green as a primary colour, however as Australia's sporting colours are green and gold that's the only way I would see it working.
Kangaroos are not necessary :)
In terms of other colour schemes, I have no problem with a red,white and blue colour scheme, but feel free to come up with your own.
Have a bit of fun with it though! I'd rather not make it not be too corporate.

Clearly, labor has been an important part of world history. Every society that has ever existed has had a labor force. From hunting and foraging, building pyramids, or producing tanks on assembly lines, labor has always been crucial for success.
Here are a few links for exploring labor history:

Man my left bicep ached all yesterday afternoon just from trying to play those Zero Defex songs. We had a rehearsal yesterday and got back into shape for tomorrow night's gig at Pat's in the Flats. It should be good. We're debuting two new songs, the first new songs from Zero Defex in over 20 years. One is by our first guitarist and chief songwriter back in the day Tommy Strange. The other one I wrote. If we get it together we'll also do Mickey X-Nelson's tribute to Tommy, "Hey Tommy Strange!" which appears on our new CD (still waiting for it to show up on CD Baby).
Thanks to Element for providing this link to a page about Kodo Sawaki's quotes from Brian Victoria's book Zen At War. I haven't made it through the original Japanese versions of the quoted material, which are provided on the page. But it seems that some of the quotations come from from a dubious "autobiography" of Sawaki written after Sawaki's death by someone else in first person as if Sawaki wrote it. In the quote in which Sawaki is said to have stated that "we gorged ourselves on killing" the phrase "hara ippai" is translated as "gorged." Anyone who'd been in Japan as long as Victoria would know full well that "hara ippai" carries more a sense of being fed up with something than having gorged on it. That's just inexcusable. And I say that as a guy who spent a decade in Japan often deliberately mistranslating stuff in this same fashion, though my intention was usually to make people sound less stupid than they actually did rather than to trash someone's reputation. Makes me wonder about the rest of the book... (though, yes, it is certainly true some people in the Japanese Zen establishment did pimp for the Emperor during the war).
Gotta go. Here's the gig list yet again...
Saturday May 3rd at 3PM you can see my movie Cleveland's Screaming at Last Exit Books in Kent, Ohio.
Also on May 3rd my band 0DFx will play at Pat's in the Flats in Cleveland with This Moment in Black History.
And on May 4th, 0DFx will play at the Kent Stage in Kent, Ohio in commemoration of the 38th anniversary of the infamous shootings by the National Guard.
On Friday May 10th we'll play an in-store show at Square Records in Akron's Highland Square. Starts at 7:30.
Saturday May 10th at 7 PM (or maybe 6, they need to decide yet, call before you go) I'll do a book signing and talk at Visible Voice Books in Cleveland, Ohio's Tremont neighborhood. I think we're showing my movie Cleveland's Screaming! afterwards.
On May 17th and 18th I'll lead a 2-day retreat at the Milwaukee Zen Center.
I'll be one of the teachers at this year's Great Sky Zen Sesshin August 9-16. Check out their webpage for details.
The annual Dogen Sangha retreat in Shizuoka, Japan will be September 20-23.

Mastering the Art of e-Book Formatting
October 16, 2011
Reading the New York Times article about the e-book version of Julia Child's classic Mastering the Art of French Cooking you'd think that a milestone had been reached in the struggle for high-quality e-books. This 1961 book is one of the classics, and the publisher had a tradition to uphold.
Cookbooks have not been a big hit as e-books and part of the problem is assumed to be their complex formatting. Knopf in fact abandoned its first attempt to create an e-book from Mastering because the "technology was not available" to recreate the book's "distinctive two-column format."
The story of the Mastering the Art of French Cooking e-book affords an opportunity to look at the current state of e-book creation and the strengths and limitations of the e-book formats in use today. I call this tale Mastering the Art of e-Book Formatting. (more…)

Inbox: Which non-roster invitee could surprise?
It seems like every year a non-roster invitee impresses in Spring Training and makes the team. Chad Qualls did it last year. Is there an invitee who could surprise us this spring, specifically a pitcher?
-- Wayne M., Palm Beach Gardens, Fla.
A prime candidate is a 2013 teammate of Qualls. Kevin Slowey, you may recall, also was in Spring Training on a Minor League contract with a big league invite. A forearm injury caused the right-hander to miss the second half, but he again will be in camp in a similar situation. If healthy, Slowey could seize the moment and win an Opening Day roster spot, either as a fifth starter or a long reliever.
It seems like every year a non-roster invitee impresses in Spring Training and makes the team. Chad Qualls did it last year. Is there an invitee who could surprise us this spring, specifically a pitcher?

A forearm injury caused the right-hander to miss the second half, but he again will be in camp in a similar situation. If healthy, Slowey could seize the moment and win an Opening Day roster spot, either as a fifth starter or a long reliever.
Slowey would appear to be a long shot to make the Opening Day roster. But so much changes when Spring Training begins. There are always injuries and other factors that come into play.
Prospects like Andrew Heaney and Justin Nicolino are highly touted lefties getting closer to being big league ready. You never want to rule out anyone completely, but a more realistic scenario for both of them is to open at either Double-A or Triple-A, and reach the big leagues when they are a little more seasoned.
I know Jose Fernandez made the leap to the big leagues at age 20 last spring, but that was done out of necessity due to injuries.
There is a business side to the sport. Service time matters. It would seem the Marlins have enough candidates to avoid rushing Heaney or Nicolino. That said, if either one makes a convincing case, they could earn an Opening Day roster spot.
Is there any possibility the Marlins will make signing Giancarlo Stanton to a long-term contract a priority?
-- Michael G., Doral, Fla.
As reported a few days ago, both sides agreed it was best to focus specifically on 2014. Stanton was arbitration-eligible for the first time, and his salary has jumped from $537,000 in '13 to $6.5 million. So he is not complaining. Neither are the Marlins.
An arbitration hearing was avoided, and both sides are pleased with the outcome.
Without a long-term deal, I understand people will continue to ask this question. As of now, it is not a priority for either side. Perhaps that will change. But it certainly appears Stanton is moving toward reaching free agency after the 2016 season, and an eventual multiyear deal with Miami seems unlikely.
Technically, the Marlins could go year to year with Stanton and retain him for three more seasons. Chances are, though, he could be with Miami for no more than two more seasons. How the team and Stanton perform will largely determine that.
I think both sides are a little skeptical of a long-term commitment. Stanton wants to see the direction the team is headed, and the club wants to see if the slugger can stay healthy a whole year. That leaves you with a one-year deal and a wait-and-see situation.
Could the Marlins be looking to sign pitcher A.J. Burnett to add more experience to the rotation?
-- Joshua O., Puerto Rico
Bringing Burnett back to South Florida is not something the club is considering. Yes, Burnett was a Marlin, but he didn't exactly leave on great terms.
Burnett turned 37 a few weeks ago, and he is weighing retirement. If he returns, he could be leaning toward going back to Pittsburgh.
Burnett, obviously, was a former teammate of Miami manager Mike Redmond. But the veteran isn't a fit right now.
Starting pitching is a strength of the Marlins, and there are candidates who will be in Spring Training who are capable of securing roster spots.
When the Marlins signed Rafael Furcal, they said he had agreed to play second base because the team already has a shortstop. But what are the chances that Furcal will replace Adeiny Hechavarria at shortstop? Donovan Solano then could play second. Both Furcal and Solano are much better hitters than Hech, and would the team really lose much defensively? Isn't an upgrade at the plate a priority?
-- Pancho V., Miami Lakes, Fla.
Barring an injury to Hechavarria, there is no chance of this happening.
Obviously, Hechavarria had his struggles at the plate last year, but the club firmly believes his productivity will rise with experience. Many within the organization feel Hechavarria may not fully blossom at the plate for several more seasons. Because of his raw talent, the Marlins are willing to give him that chance.
Defensively, Miami believes he is among the best in the game. That can be debated when reviewing defensive metrics. Still, Hechavarria has the skill set and athleticism to be elite.
When Furcal signed, he spoke highly about Hechavarria to the front office. I expect Furcal will be somewhat of a mentor to Hechavarria. Also keep in mind, Furcal missed all of last year due to Tommy John surgery on his right elbow. Those long throws from shortstop are not what the team is looking for at this stage of Furcal's career.
Clearly, the Marlins are looking for more offense. But shortstop is a position, I think, the team would sacrifice some production at the plate for defense.
Does Jimmy Paredes have any options? It seems he will be competing with Ed Lucas, Solano and Brian Bogusevic for the last roster spot.
-- Al K., Miami
The Marlins claimed Paredes off waivers from the Astros a few months ago. The 25-year-old has one more option left, which means Miami doesn't risk losing his services if he doesn't make the Opening Day roster.
Paredes will be interesting to follow in Spring Training. He's a 6-foot-3, 200-pound speedster who can play infield and outfield. So he fits the utility mold. The fact Paredes is already on the 40-man roster is an advantage. He also switch-hits.
How exactly Paredes fits is to be determined. Bogusevic is likely to be the fourth outfielder. Solano and Lucas are backup infielders as well.
For Paredes, it will come down to how he looks at the plate. If he hits, he will have a good shot. It's as simple as that, because Paredes could make an impact as a defender and a baserunner.

Black Country Communion Eye Late October Release for Third Studio Album
After appearing in a stagnant state earlier this spring, Black Country Communion are now forging ahead with their third studio album. Earlier this year, singer Glenn Hughes stated that he had a wealth of songs ready to go, but there were only rumors at that point of a recording session over the summer.
Those rumors did eventually become reality, with the former Deep Purple singer tweeting that BCC's third release is on target for a worldwide Oct. 30 release. He also served up a photo from the sessions. Hughes recently told Artisan News that the new release would be "kind of a continuation" of their last record, and added, "There's gonna be some darker stuff on there, because the lyrics I'm writing are kind of dark. There may be some moments of drama in there. I like drama in the music. So the songs I have already are definitely a continuation of [the first two records]."
In addition to Hughes, Black Country Communion features guitarist great Joe Bonamassa, drummer Jason Bonham, and onetime Dream Theater keyboardist Derek Sherinian. The group has been working with producer Kevin Shirley, who also helmed their first two releases.
Black Country Communion definitely dip their toes in the classic rock end, but Hughes recently told Guitar World that it wasn't necessarily an obvious choice for him to return to that sound. He explained, "Realize that my roots are rock music, although I did grow up listening to black American music, as Robert Plant listened to American blues music. Everybody's got their story to tell. But when I embrace the rock hat, when I put it on two or three years ago, when I realized I'm gonna go and make really focused rock albums, it felt like wearing an old shoe. It was a perfect fit."
Hughes says he didn't return to the genre for financial gain, but he feels as though he's rediscovered his love for the sound because it was supposed to happen.
Though the singer did reveal a release date, the title for the disc is still pending.

To make that work, you'd first need to cut off K-Hawk's hands, then cut off one of your own, attach one of her hands, then cut off your other hand and attach the second one. Or employ a second person to help you. That would be easier seeing as how it's pretty hard to concentrate after cutting your own hand off, you know, with all that reeling in pain and stuff.

Running a Distributed Design Agency: a One Year Retrospective
Almost exactly a year ago, my partner Jason and I decided to start an agency. This is not an odd or unusual decision for designers with over a decade of experience like ourselves. But we chose to do things a little differently. Instead of renting a shiny office space and hiring some full time employees, we chose to start a distributed virtual agency. What does that mean? It means we have no permanent office and no full-time employees. We have a website and some cloud-based apps that tie us together. It is not how the world traditionally imagines an agency, but to be honest, we feel this model works much better.
It's been an awesome adventure, at times a rather wild ride, and after a full year of this experiment, I wanted to give an extremely subjective report of how it went and what's next.
Why Did We Do It?
As designers, we often found it quite difficult to be successful as employees within enormous corporations. I have to admit, I find it humorous that many companies want to emulate Steve Job's success, but then they decide the best way to do it is to hire a bunch of designers … at the bottom of the corporate hierarchy. Without the power to truly drive product design decisions (and that includes the schedule, the feature set, and at times the means for implementation), designers are so often set up to fail within typical technology corporations. So even though Jason and I had many wonderful colleagues brimming with talent, experience, and skill at the big companies where we worked, we did not feel we were doing meaningful, successful and well-designed work that shipped and succeeded in meeting user needs.
As consultants however, we tend to be hired "outside the system." Consultants and agencies are usually brought in to fix something that isn't working and/or provide expertise that has been recognized as missing within a team or company. This means we start from a position of strength and respect. Furthermore, as outside agents, we are hired for a specific task or project, not as amorphous employee objects to be assigned and re-assigned wherever management sees fit. This kind of defined scope for consultant gigs certainly helps with the success of design and designers.
Jason and I had both also worked extensively as independent consultants, but we both ran into limitations of trying to be a one person team. As individuals, we could not provide all the interaction design, visual design, front-end development and/or research that our clients typically wanted within the time-frame required. Therefore, bringing in other folks to round out our skill set made perfect sense.
But why a distributed agency you may ask? Why not a typical brick and mortar agency in downtown San Francisco, or somewhere similarly schmancy? We thought about the traditional office model, I have to admit, but in the end we decided that the advantages of the distributed model far outweighed the traditional approach. So, let's look at the benefits of our model for our clients, for our consultants, and for us.
Benefits for our Clients
The biggest benefit for our clients of our distributed model is super flexible teams. Does this project need a researcher or three researchers? Does it need a project manager at all or can we skip that? Is front-end development going to be handled by the client or the agency? These questions vary of course from project to project. So instead of forcing clients to accept some predefined team and process that an agency is tied to, we can be super-flexible and just assign the people needed. This leads to much more streamlined, efficient and successful projects, every time.
We also can pull talent from anywhere, regardless of geography. If there isn't a stellar logo designer available physically in the same geographic area, no matter. We have hired designers in Belgium, Germany, Ireland, and the Ukraine. The entire world is truly our only limit.
Last, but in no way least, we can offer lower prices for the same work done by traditional agencies. The math is simple. Our overhead is lower, and we pass on those savings to our clients.
Advantages for our Consultants
The biggest win for our consultants is work/life balance. Our people are free to work where they like, how they like and for the most part, when they like. They can choose their projects, and they can define their own schedules. For designers, this is huge. Morning folks and night owls can work as suits them best. People with kids can work around school schedules. Vacations, hobbies, events and other personal pursuits can all be accommodated. And if there is one thing I know for sure, happy designers are far better designers.
By allowing our consultants to set their own schedule and determine their own work environment, we allow designers to set themselves up for getting into the flow and staying there as long as they need to.
I have found that for the most part, most designers tend to introspection and long hours of solitary work. It's not that we designers aren't collaborative, it's just that there is a lot of pixel pushing and hard thought that goes on between the bouts of collaboration, and cube farms are generally not good for this kind of concentration. So allowing designers to work from their own studios almost always produces a higher caliber of results as well.
Finally, consultants make more money. There's that, enough said.
The Wins for Us
Now the advantages for us as a distributed agency are quite simple and derivative of the advantages for our clients and consultants. We have very low overhead, and we can be super flexible and pivot our business on a dime. If we decide, for example, to ratchet down our services business and focus on building our own software products, no problem! If we want to scale up or down in volume, it's easy!
Without a full-time staff and office rent, we can evolve, grow and change with our personal goals and also the ever-changing nature of working in technology. We can also easily experiment with different kinds of clients, projects and processes without making huge and costly commitments. Quite frankly, considering the speed with which technology changes here in Silicon Valley, I do believe the flexible agile model for agencies is only going to grow in popularity over the next decade.
The Future
So what is next for Cloudforest Design and our merry band of creatives? A one-year milestone is a great time for this kind of introspection, and I have been thinking a lot about our future. Our biggest goal is to find more awesome clients that we can really help. This year we have gone far in figuring out the kinds of companies and projects where we work best, and now the challenge is to find more of them. We are also thinking hard about how to attract and keep more of the awesome design talent we have been honored to work with this year.
We are also beginning to consider branching out into our own software products and educational products as well. There is an overwhelming imbalance between the massive number of developers and paucity of designers in the world, and that is not going to change soon. So how do we educate more people of all backgrounds to become better design thinkers? What educational materials, classes, ebooks and blog posts can we provide to increase the general design awareness and sensibilities in the technology sector? Are new tools needed to improve communication and management in projects that span design, engineering, and product teams? These are the questions and challenges we hope to tackle in the upcoming year.

Child still resents parents who skipped graduation
DEAR ABBY: When I was a child, my parents skipped my elementary school graduation. For that matter, everyone did. My grandfather had just died, so Mom was mourning his loss. Fast-forward a few years — nobody attended my junior high graduation, either. Granted, Mom had a couple of stitches in her nose because my brother had accidentally hit her with a golf club the week before.
Well, my younger siblings just graduated from elementary school, and my parents have again skipped the event due to their work schedules. A mix of emotions is resurfacing for me. I'm angry and frustrated. I'm 26 now, and a long time has passed since they disappointed me, but I guess I haven't ever truly forgiven them for missing those events. After all, these are once-in-a-lifetime milestones for a child, right?
Am I justified in feeling anger toward my parents for deciding to miss not only my graduations, but also those of my younger siblings? Should I talk to them or let it go? What can I do? — RELIVING IT IN CALIFORNIA
DEAR RELIVING IT: How has your relationship with your parents been otherwise? If they have always been loving and supportive in other ways, then perhaps you shouldn't be so hard on them. When I was young, there were high school and college graduation ceremonies with cap, gown and diploma, but none for children leaving elementary school or junior high. At most, the event might be celebrated by going out for a family dinner.
Frankly, I think that multiple graduation ceremonies — while they may make cute photo-ops — dilute the importance of the one from high school. If you want to "do something," rather than vent your anger at your parents, it would be more constructive if you made a point of attending your siblings' graduations in the future.
DEAR ABBY: I'm hoping you can resolve a disagreement between my wife and me. She insists on placing knives in the drying rack with the sharp ends pointing up. I insist this is a safety issue and the knives should be placed pointing down (or dried immediately).

Get ready – computing is taking a quantum leap forward.
With the introduction of our latest generation of APUs, the hardware ecosystem is now in place to support what we've been claiming all along: there's more to compute performance than the CPU. For years, the focus has been on the CPU. Meanwhile, software workloads have skyrocketed to demand more performance on compute-intensive tasks that can overload even the fastest CPU burning at full power. Software developers are now taking advantage of a powerful processing component that has been sitting on the sidelines, woefully underused – your graphics processor. That's right: the GPU.
You thought the GPU was just for processing graphics? Think again. The GPU possesses extraordinary talents beyond great gaming performance. In fact, it can accomplish parallel compute-intensive processing tasks far more efficiently than the CPU. The key to it all is Heterogeneous System Architecture (HSA). HSA seamlessly combines the specialized capabilities of the CPU, GPU and various other processing elements onto a single chip – the APU. By harnessing the untapped potential of the GPU, HSA promises to not only boost performance – but deliver new levels of performance (and performance-per-watt) that will fundamentally transform the way we interact with our devices.
Read more about the HSA Foundation and its mission
So what is HSA, exactly? You can think of HSA as a team with different players lending their unique talents to form one powerful unit. The CPU leads the system through everyday tasks. The GPU can zoom its way through tasks that are particularly data-intensive. Other components work together with the CPU and GPU in various, specialized processing tasks. With each member of the team performing a task that is especially suited to it, the efficiencies are designed to give you an enormous boost in performance.
Learn more about compute cores
Just how big of a performance increase are we talking about? Meet the new AMD A10-7850K APU – the first APU with HSA features. The CPU and GPU work in perfect harmony to unleash 800+ GigaFLOPs of additional computing capacity. That's multiple times more processing power at your service, to help speed up your applications and empower you to play demanding game titles with minimal amounts of lag. And the upcoming "Carrizo" APU takes HSA support even further, with design features to make it fully compliant with the HSA 1.0 specification.
This is only the beginning of an extraordinary transformation in computing. The release of the HSA 1.0 specification by the
HSA Foundation (AMD is a founding member of the Foundation) represents a significant milestone toward making it easier to access the full processing capability of the APU. As we work to unleash the full potential of HSA, we expect to see astounding leaps in performance that will enable fantastic new features and functionality – from flawless HD video with heretofore unimaginable display clarity to new, more intuitive ways of interacting with your devices. The APU will blaze through tasks, enabling accelerated application, video and multimedia performance – all in smaller and smaller devices with longer and longer battery life.

Our Hawaii Karate Kenkyukai gave a demonstration at the University of Hawaii on July 12th. I was very grateful to all the dojo and members who came out. It helped me very much, as the University had requested the demonstration in connection with my exhibit (Karate: From Okinawa to Hawaii) at the Hamilton Library.
I was in an awkward position -- I generally do not like demonstrations but here I was coordinating one. My own dojo also participated.
My line of Shorin-Ryu here in Hawaii has never participated in tournaments and only participated in demonstrations rarely. It is not that we are secretive, we just like to practice. Our focus is on individual progress, not performing in a group. I always say that it is not natural for people of different sizes, builds, levels, etc. to move at the same time.
Also, I feel that an audience is generally a poor judge of Karate. People applaud for and enjoy certain things. If you yell loud and jump around, some people are impressed. But if you are controlled and hide your power generation/transfer, an audience might think you are weak. An audience is just not properly trained to properly evaluate a Karate performance.
But after our demonstration, I have to say that I have come to appreciate demonstrations more.
First, some of the students in our dojo tried really, really hard to prepare. I could see their progress in just a few weeks. This showed me that some students will work extra hard for an event. If that is what it takes for some students, then an event is a good thing. Of course, I feel that students should work hard whether there is an event or not.
Second, demonstrations are a good way to introduce the public to Karate. Who knows? A young person in the audience might be inspired to begin training.
Also, I found that some students in the audience who might have practiced in commercial/competition based systems, might begin to have a better appreciation for traditional systems. If we do not demonstrate traditional ways, how will anyone ever see it?
For myself, I do enjoy watching students and seniors in other arts perform their kata and techniques. I can learn more about my own system by seeing how it compares to others -- how do they generate and transfer power, how do they breathe, how do they move, how do they focus, etc.
There is a young boy in our dojo He is actually our youngest student. When I announced that we would be participating in a demonstration he promptly volunteered to perform a pretty difficult kata. I respected his confidence and "go for broke" attitude. At the demonstration, he performed the kata by himself in front of over 200 people. He did great! If he can apply the same hard work and attitude in school and his daily life, then that is really something.
So my attitude about demonstrations is changing, a little.
And as I have experienced in a past demonstration, it is hard to do a kata when you are the emcee. Before, I found it physically difficult. Now that I have learned to move in a more relaxed manner, it is still hard for me to switch gears from introducing/narrating to moving. I will have to work on that.

Marrakesh Accords and COP 7
COP 7 (Marrakesh, October/November 2001) adopted a decision on LULUCF and related issues (refer to Decision 11/CP.7). The rules for LULUCF activities, agreed as part of the Marrakesh Accords, include three main elements:
A set of principles to govern LULUCF activities;
Definitions for Article 3.3 activities and agreed activities under Article 3.4; and
A four-tier capping system limiting the use of LULUCF activities to meet emission targets.
The principles in the Marrakesh Accords respond to concerns that the use of LULUCF activities should not undermine the environmental integrity of the Kyoto Protocol. These principles underscore, for example, the need for sound science and consistent methodologies, as well as the importance of conserving biodiversity. They also specify that naturally-occurring removals, including removals as a consequence of indirect anthropogenic effects, should be excluded from the system and that any re-release of greenhouse gases (e.g. through forest fires) must be promptly accounted for.
In order to ensure consistency and comparability among Parties, a common definition is established for the term "forest". Some flexibility is allowed to take account of national circumstances, so that a Party may choose, for example, to select a minimum tree height of between 2 to 5 metres for its definition of a forest. Once the values are chosen, however, they remain fixed.
The Marrakesh Accords also provided definitions for four additional LULUCF activities, these being:
Forest management;
Cropland management;
Grazing land management; and
Parties may choose to include any of these activities to help meet their emission targets, and the choice is then fixed for the first commitment period.
Net removals of greenhouse gases from eligible LULUCF activities generate so-called removal units (RMUs) that Annex I Parties can use to help meet their emission targets. They are deemed valid only when the removals have been verified by expert review teams under the Protocol's reporting and review procedures, and they cannot be banked (i. e. credits cannot be carried over to future commitment periods). In the case where such LULUCF activities result in a net source of greenhouse gas emissions, there would be a cancellation of assigned amount units and/or units issued from Articles 6, 12 and 17 for the Party concerned.
The extent to which Parties can account for emissions and removals from specific LULUCF activities, for the first commitment period, is limited by the following four-tier capping system:
Tier 1: If a Party's afforestation, reforestation and deforestation activities result in more emissions than removals, then the Party may offset these emissions through forest management activities, up to a total level of 9 megatons of carbon per year for the five-year commitment period.
Tier 2: The extent to which forest management activities can be accounted for to help meet emission targets beyond 9 megatons of carbon per year is subject to an individual cap for each Party, specified in an appendix to the decision on LULUCF. This cap includes joint implementation projects involving forest management.
Tier 3: Emissions and removals from cropland management, grazing land management and revegetation can be accounted for to help meet emission targets on a net basis (e.g. changes in carbon stocks during 1990, times five, will be subtracted from the changes in carbon stocks during the first commitment period, in the lands where these activities will take place).
Tier 4: Only afforestation and reforestation projects are eligible under the clean development mechanism. Greenhouse gas removals from such projects may only be used to help meet emission targets up to 1% of a Party's base year emissions for each year of the commitment period.

Washington 28, Dallas 18:
This, I am convinced, is Tony Romo's favorite play. I think his palms get a little sweatier when he hears it called in. Look at the dedication. The grace. He wants to sell you that botched snap. He wants to sell it to you so...bad.
The game was a wild one and close almost all night until Alfred Morris seemingly broke the Cowboys back—as he had all night for 200 yards and three touchdowns—on a cutback run with just over 10 minutes left. He ran 32 yards to the endzone and gave the Redskins a two-score lead at 21-10. Then a funny thing happened: Dwayne Harris returned a Sav Rocca punt 39 yards and Rocca decided to separate Dwayne Harris's head from his body. Fifteen yards later, the Cowboys were on the Redskins 16 and moving. Romo eventually found Kevin Ogletree in the endzone with 5:50 remaining. The two point conversion to Dwayne Harris was successful, bringing the Cowboys within three at 21-18.
And then an even funnier thing happened. After a quick Washington possession that ended in a 13-yard sack of Griffin III, forcing a punt, the Tony Romo we all know and love showed up. And Tony did not disappoint. He delivered his third interception of the night right into the hands of Redskins linebacker Rob Jackson. The Redskins would eventually add another touchdown—Morris's third of the night to go up 10 and effectively end the game with little over a minute left. The Redskins have won seven straight and will host the Seahawks next week.
This Dallas fan was happy to troll the home crowd early in the game after a would-be delay of game call that went uncalled. He shows the appropriate balance of "boy, we got away with one" and "I don't care, I'm gonna fuck with them anyway" to make this a good time. Then he sticks his tongue out like a weirdo. Then the Cowboys continued to play. Bummer.
Here's a fun little stiff arm on the Dallas kicker from Niles Paul on a return following the Ogletree touchdown.
And finally, here's a big helmet to helmet hit that freed up Dwayne Harris for a 25-yard third down conversion at the very beginning of the second quarter. The drive would later end with a goofy-looking 9-yard pass to Witten for a touchdown.
Oh shit, I forgot distraught Jerry Jones! I cannot believe I did that. Many apologies. Won't happen again.

Academy Award-winning actress Sandra Bullock, 47, was seen dropping off, and later picking up, her 2-year-old son Louis at school in Los Angeles, Calif. on Thursday (March 22).
Sandy B and recently single mom-of-four Heidi Klum, 38, were spotted enjoying a girls' night out earlier this month at Mr. Chow in Beverly Hills.
They were in there for hours," says a witness of Bullock, who divorced Jesse James in June 2010, and Klum, who split from husband Seal in January.
Before getting into a car together after dinner, "the girls had two shots of tequila each — and they high-fived both times!," the source adds.

Patti LuPone's Fabulous Mid-Show Freak Out
There were stories of Patti LuPone, legendary Broadway star, yelling at an audience member in the middle of a performance of Gypsy because he or she was taking pictures. Well, now there's audio.
"Who do you think you aaarrree??" she bellows at the poor theatre fan, stopping mid-song in what is probably the crowning role of her career. The audience is totally on her side, clapping and cheering, which is understandable. For one thing, it is completely obnoxious to be distractingly taking pictures in a dark theater while actors pour blood and sweat on the stage floor. And, also, Patti sounds just so damn terrifying that I'd probably have shot the guy if she'd told me to. She gets the audience member booted by security, then sallies forth. It's amazing. And scary. Scary amazing. [Daily Musto]

Loving Spoonfuls needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 113 designs submitted by 19 freelance designers.
Loving Spoonfuls
This is a fundraiser for a non-profit and will be an annual benefit, so we want a great logo to brand the event! Restaurants and groups will compete for the best soup and dessert, although the soup category will have more entries.
The logo should be a combination of warm and fuzzy and then, competition. The logo should have: Loving Spoonfuls and then the slogan: Marin's Soup and Dessert Challenge, underneath. Marin is a county just north of San Francisco, so lots of great food and creative people will be looking at the logo.
The sample soups and desserts at the event will be small portions so NO reference to bowls.
General public, restaurants, foodies, service organizations, media
a warm and fuzzy feel with a sense of competition.
