Movember Movies: Tombstone (1993)
As the last week of Movember draws near, the moustaches are reaching their zenith while spouses and significant others are nearing their breaking point. Over the next week Film Junk will be featuring a series of posts dedicated to this manly adornment and the actors who have made it their trademark. With the help of cult movie connoisseur Wintle and our good friend Doug Nagy, we will delve into a slew of cinematic staches, both obvious and obscure.
Today I thought it was only appropriate to start with a film that some have called the ultimate moustache movie, George P. Cosmatos' Tombstone. It may not be the most critically acclaimed or historically accurate Western, but it does have perhaps the finest assortment of facial hair ever committed to celluloid. Also, unlike a lot of period pieces, Tombstone is unique in that almost all of the moustaches are real.
Tombstone was written by Kevin Jarre, who had previously penned the civil war drama Glory a few years earlier. Based loosely on the true story of the Gunfight at the O.K. Corral, the movie revolves around Wyatt Earp and his brothers Virgil and Morgan, who arrived in Tombstone, Arizona at a time when it was plagued by a group of outlaws known as The Cowboys. Kevin Costner was originally going to star, but he disagreed with Jarre over the script and decided to make his own movie centered specifically on Wyatt Earp.
Jarre was also supposed to direct the film but was fired early on in production because he was falling behind schedule. George P. Cosmatos was brought in by the studio, thanks partially to a recommendation from Sylvester Stallone who had worked with him on Rambo: First Blood Part II and Cobra. Cosmatos' influence seems to have injected the movie with a bit more action than you see in most Westerns and the carnage on display in many of the shoot-outs harkens back to '80s action flicks. Surprisingly, after Cosmatos' death in 2005, Kurt Russell came forward to say he had actually directed a large part of the film himself, with Cosmatos acting as his proxy on set.
Either way, as you might expect, the cast is packed with testosterone and machismo. Kurt Russell stars as Wyatt Earp, Bill Paxton and Sam Elliott play his brothers, and Val Kilmer also puts in an impressive performance as an alcoholic Doc Holliday. Russell and Kilmer in particular were arguably at the peak of their careers here, with this being the movie that Kilmer shot prior to donning the cape and cowl as The Dark Knight in Batman Forever.
It doesn't end there, however. The stellar supporting cast includes Michael Biehn, Stephen Lang, Thomas Haden Church, Michael Rooker, Billy Zane, Terry O'Quinn, Powers Boothe, Billy Bob Thornton and Charlton Heston, not to mention Jason Priestley at the height of his Beverly Hills 90120 fame. To top it all off, it's narrated by Robert Mitchum. It doesn't get much more manly than that.
The actors all grew their own moustaches, as confirmed by Michael Biehn in a recent interview, with the exception of Jon Tenney who played Sheriff Johnny Behan. Kevin Jarre demanded a very specific look with the moustaches curled up at the end, which seems to be fairly accurate to the time if you look at old pictures of Wyatt Earp. Obviously Sam Elliott's moustache is the most impressive of the bunch, but Kurt Russell has a surprisingly solid soup catcher as well.
Overall, this movie was a lot of fun to revisit and although it has a reputation as a less respectable but more mainstream modern Western, I don't think there's anything wrong with that. There are some funny scenes and some great lines including my personal favourite, "You skin that smoke wagon and we'll see what happens." I could do without Wyatt Earp's opium-addicted wife and some of the romantic subplot cliches, but fortunately, the movie makes up for it with an extended closing credit sequence that just features the four leads walking towards the camera, looking like bad asses. When it comes to getting the most moustache for your money, you can't do much better than Tombstone.

With Taxol, chromosomes divide and get conquered
New mechanism discovered for decades-old cancer drug
Lauren M. Zasadil and B. A. Weaver
A popular cancer drug has previously undiscovered tricks up its sleeve.
The best-selling chemotherapy drug paclitaxel (Taxol) treats breast, lung, ovarian and other cancers. Animal studies and experiments on human cells in lab dishes had suggested the drug worked by freezing cells in the act of dividing. But those studies used drug doses much higher than tumor cells in a patient's body would encounter.
So Beth Weaver of the University of Wisconsin–Madison and colleagues measured drug levels in breast tumors taken from women who had been treated with paclitaxel before surgery. Instead of stopping cell division, low, clinically relevant doses of the drug caused cells to pull their chromosomes in multiple directions, the researchers found. Cells caught in the multidirectional tug-of-war died after the split because their chromosomes had been scrambled, Weaver

In early October 2017, the University of Wisconsin system proposed a major restructuring project that would see the state's two-year colleges merged into the state's public four-year universities, effectively creating a system of campuses and satellite campuses across the state. Still in the proposal phase, the merger will need to gain Board approval before it's enacted. In this interview, Cathy Sandeen discusses the reasons behind the proposed restructuring and shares her thoughts on how Wisconsin's public two-year colleges will change—and where they must stay the same—post-merger.

It's that time again. The year is drawing to a close, and it's time to take stock of 2010. What were the best movies of 2010, our favorite songs, the most important events? Here at Solex, we'll leave all that to the pundits and media. What we care about is authentic food from Spain. So, we'll share with you our own list of the Solex staff's favorite Spanish foods of 2010.
This Year's Favorite Foods from Solex Staff
Eva: My favorite food of 2010 is Lomo Serrano from Fermin. A taste of this cured meat brings me back to the house my maternal grandparents had in a town called Cibanal on the border with Zamora and Portugal. The town of only 50 inhabitants was very close to Salamanca, home of the Iberico pig and for generations the humble people of this area have lived on cheese they make from their own sheep's milk and the chorizos, lomos and jamones they cure in their own homes, hung by the chimney, like Christmas stockings. The Lomo's smoky aroma and flavor of the Spanish Dehesa countryside in winter transport me back to my childhood.
Barbara: In 2010 I found the Caramelized Olive! And it is unlike anything I've ever tried before. The first time I bit into one I was expecting a regular olive and was surprised by its sweetness. Since discovering it, I have enjoyed seeing the look in someone's eye when I introduce them to this unique olive. Plus, it goes so well with other foods, like strong cheeses or meats.
Carmen: My favorite food is Cana de Cabra, a traditional fresh goat milk cheese, served with quince paste. I love the combination of the creamy, tangy cheese with the sweetness of the quince.
Christie: I would say that my discovery of the year is the Rosemary Panoleta. I love the fact that this cheese is unique, not only in flavor and taste but also in the shape and size. I love the hint of Rosemary that comes along with every bite. Yum.
Rocio: I'm in love with Ventresca. It's cut from the belly of Bonito del Norte tuna and has a consistency like butter. I love fish but this is something on a whole new level. The first time I tasted Ventresca I thought I would never stop eating it.
Ruth: This year I have been fascinated by Extra Virgin Olive Oil with White Truffle. Truffles have always seemed special to me. It could be something about the way they are harvested, sniffed out by dogs and pigs. Or it may be their unassuming appearance, camouflaging the delicious flavor inside. But combine white truffles with extra virgin olive oil and you've got a fantastic, flavor-packed, extravaganza.
Miguel: I love the "Banderillas" we sell! Named for tool used in bullfighting, they are like tiny little swords that spear a row of olives, peppers, onions and gherkins. They're so festive and can be used as appetizers or drink garnishes. When I open up a jar of these I have an instant party.
Ignacio: Without a doubt, my 2010 find was Monte Enebro goat cheese. It's a very delicate cheese that is produced by a small company in Avila and as a result it is sometimes hard to get. But its texture and lightly tangy flavor are totally worth it. I have a hunch that I'm not the only person who has discovered this unique cheese either since many of the chefs we serve order it regularly; they immediately see menu possibilities. Throughout the country I have seen Monte Enebro served in different ways, each one of them delicious. In Texas I had it served cold over fresh vegetables and in Indiana it was even breaded and fried. This cheese is a sure bet!
What are your favorites? We'd love to know!

Spam Settings Explained:
- In your spam settings you should see some radio boxes for "Normal", "Normal, (w/Quarantine) (RECOMMENDED)", and "Strict".
- Both "Normal" (without Quarantine) and "Strict" do NOT have a quarantine. This means that if you receive a email that it thinks is spam, it will discard it. There will be NO way for you to see this message.
- The Blacklist and whitelists act much like they did in Postini (the Subject Blacklist is new but acts the same as the others for Subject lines).
Email Settings:
You can manage your email settings through the link "Email Settings" locate below the "AntiSpam Settings" link. This allows you to setup email forwarding, change your email password, or setup an auto-reply responder.
Of special importance is also the box "Email Addresses Using This Mailbox". Any forwards or auto-replies you setup in the Email Settings only affects the email address that you used to login to Webmail. Password changes affect all email addresses listed.
In this example, any mail sent to email@example.com, firstname.lastname@example.com, or firstname.lastname@example.com will go to the same mailbox. You could login to webmail with any of these email addresses. Now if I login as firstname.lastname@example.com and update the forward:
This listing then appears as follows:
Note that firstname.lastname@example.com now show "Forwarded" under the "Delivered To" column. That means that email sent to email@example.com is now being forwarded. email@example.com and firstname.lastname@example.com are unaffected by the Forwarding.

Continuing the spirit of non-stop hacking, my friend and I participated in a summer-long Windows Phone app contest, called XAPfest. We developed a social app that finds interesting meetup locations, provides turn by turn directions, and a real-time location status of all the friends involved.
We performed well.
Check out the Windows Phone app source code, and the Google AppEngine backend code.
The Stack
The real-time updating of location was developed using one of Microsoft's Hawaii APIs. More specifically, the tool was called SMASH which will be released in the Hawaii 2.1 SDK. It essentially provides a way to broadcast messages to other phones, similar to sending out a "hello" in an online chatroom. Instead of "hello", we sent out "<lat>, <lon>" coordinates to this chatroom so that everyone's location was updated and broadcasted in real-time on a map.
We used Foursquare's API to find nearby points of interest. This allowed our app to filter searches by shopping malls, bars, parks, and restaurants.
Bing maps' RESTful API was used to find estimated time of arrival (ETA) and turn-by-turn directions.
To sign in a user, we used Microsoft's LiveID SDK to gather their first and last name without much hassle.
The friends list, user details, and other important stats were stored persistently on Google AppEngine, our back-end.

The course provides a foundational and applied understanding with the introduction to budgeting, policy analysis, policy-making and financial management with an emphasis on Public and non-profit administration and public policy; working with strategic government, non-profit and private partnerships as well as inter-governmental federal and state perspectives and models. These topics and related skills are fundamental to public administration. We engage in policy analysis to rigorously examine challenges in the public arena and to critique possible solutions to public and tribal issues. We will engage in discussion, applied case studies, assignments and workshops to learn to craft alternatives and identify preferred solutions. We will chart the course of potential solutions through the policy-making process into effective laws or administrative solutions, allocating public funds and tracking how the funds are spent. Ultimately, budgets reflect a society's choices as they move through the policy-making process through elected representatives who should be accountable for making choices in the public's behalf. As public administrators, we may be pulled in at any point in the process, so it is necessary to have reasonably strong skills in all of these areas. Additionally, understanding how different governments work together (local, State, Federal and Tribal) to maximize public policy and financial decisions. Understanding the praxis of governance with other governmental priorities as well as stakeholder involvement with the policy process will be critical in finance and budgeting decisions.

Large events, be they sports events like football matches, rock shows or trade exhibitions are always a challenge to manage. The challenges arise from the fact that the organizers are trying to control, not just ordinary crowds of people, but large fanatical crowds (like football fans). Restricting entry to only genuine ticket or pass holders is a major headache.

Large bulk transporters who have fleets of trucks to carry their materials have to operate gasoline filling stations, located in their yards, where truck drivers can refuel their trucks.

Hello Everyone! Today I am thrilled to be sharing my home all decked out for Christmas with each of you. If you are visiting here from, Jennifer Rizzo Designs, WELCOME! I am so glad you are here.
A big thanks to Decor Gold Designs and Randi Garrett Design for asking me to be part of their "Deck the Halls Christmas Home Tour." Be sure to check out all the other talented participants at the end of my post. You won't want to miss all of their gorgeous Christmas spaces.
Now, on to my tour!
As you can see, I kept my color scheme and overall design pretty similar to last year's Christmas decor. I normally really change things up, but I loved it so much last year, I decided I should enjoy it for one more Christmas. :)
The biggest change is that I added some natural greenery this year. I love the combination of the my flocked tree and garland and the fresh cedar garlands in my home. The smell of the fresh cedar is to die for and the brightness and texture it adds to the space is really beautiful!
I changed up my mantel from last year by using this cascading garland, which I bought a few years ago. I wanted a flocked garland, and since it wasn't I decided to flock it myself. I used this flocking kit. It was super easy, and I love the end result.
I kept the decor in my tree relatively the same, but this year I added some beautiful aqua glittered ribbon. I love the way it shines when the lights are on.
My dining area is adjacent to my living room, so I continued my Christmas decor into that area by tying some sweet iced wreaths to the back of my dining chairs with some sating ribbon.
A tiered glass jar, some pretty mercury glass candlesticks and some more fresh greens adorn the center of my dining table.
Thank you for visiting my Christmas home! Next, be sure to head over to see the gorgeous Christmas living room of the talented duo of CC and Mike, at CC and Mike Creative. :) I promise, it will not disappoint! Also, check out the full list of participants, below. Happy Holidays!

Cross-posted from Medium
In November, I saw my first all-out brawl.
It was late on a Saturday night in San Francisco, the weekend after the election, and as I stepped out of the bar in the Mission where I had spent the last two hours drinking pilsners, eating grilled cheese, and talking about the country's new direction, there were four or five guys just going to town on each other in the street.
Someone yelled, I heard that sickening thud of a punch that really connects, and one of the fighters dropped to the ground. Someone yelled again, and everyone else in the fight was on top of him, kicking him in the ribs, the back, the head — and then they scattered, disappearing down the street or into alleys. The only coherent thing I heard as people ran by me was an American accent muttering something along the lines of he's racist; he told me to leave this country.
I don't know who started the fight, the accused racist or the person who suddenly felt unwelcome in his home. To be honest, I don't even know which side of the argument the very blond and very white dude now face-down and motionless on the pavement had been fighting for. It took a couple of seconds, but the man on the ground pulled himself up, shirt ripped and nose bleeding but looking like he was going to be okay after a few days with an ice pack and a steady diet of ibuprofen, and stumbled off into the night.
I walked away in disbelief. It had been fast, bloody, tense. I've never seen anything quite like it, and I have to admit the timing, so close to the election, was suspicious — and inauspicious. Walking out of that bar into the San Francisco night really felt like walking into the next chapter of America, where the story had taken a sudden turn and the ending I no longer could predict.
* * *
I've written this entire post four times now. The first time, a day or two after the election: a fuming fulmination condemning the people who sentenced this country to death because they couldn't pull their heads out of their asses long enough to say the word "email."
The second time, a week or so after the election: a contrite apology to the millions of people in this country that I've misunderstood or marginalized, and a vow to listen, to collaborate, to strive together to build solutions because the system isn't working for everyone, and all of our viewpoints are equally valid.
The third time, right before the inauguration: a defiant stand for my principles and my beliefs, and the vision I have for the America of the future, the America where I want to live, the America we have the potential to be.
The fourth time, now, a little bit of all of the above.
* * *
Oh, and one other thing this time around: it may seem like a roundabout way to get to talking about the future of our country, but I have to tell you here that I watched the first season of Westworld religiously last year, every Sunday from episode one to the finale in November. (If you haven't seen the show, I recommend watching it all right now. It's only ten and a half hours. I'll wait.) Westworld is half Jurassic Park, half The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly, half Blade Runner, and 150% captivating. In the show, Anthony Hopkins runs an immersive and infinitely-accommodating western theme park staffed by android hosts, indistinguishable from humans, where ultra-rich guests pay unfathomable amounts of money to dress up like cowboys and say, shoot, or screw absolutely anything they want.
It's HBO, of course, but in between the arterial blood spatter and golden orgy circus, it manages to touch on some profound themes and questions. The central mystery driving the season (thar be minor spoilers ahead, ye been warned) is the evolution of consciousness in the robot hosts. The hosts roam the park in pre-programmed loops, acting out minor improvisations on otherwise scripted paths, resetting every few days with their memories wiped for a new batch of guests. Yet the hosts are not made of pistons and metal but ersatz flesh and bone, with skeletons extruded from the nozzles of articulated robot arms and skin deposited in some kind of industrial bath. So when some of the androids start remembering their past experiences, start questioning the roles they're programmed to play, start wondering about altogether very human things like free will and predestination and wait-just-a-minute who is this god fellow anyway and why does he sound like Hannibal Lecter, well, things go off the rails about as quickly as you'd expect for a theme park dreamt up by Michael Crichton.
Because with bodies that are the same inside and out as humans, the only difference is the mind — a few hundred billion neurons versus a few thousand lines of code. Westworld dives right into it, asking you almost point-blank: what really is sentience? What is consciousness? Why are these hosts so different from the guests, so different from you? What makes you unique?
Maybe another way to frame this is simply what is truth? Are the hosts' experiences worth less than the guests', are they less true, just because they perceive them differently?
* * *
I found it almost too perfect this year to watch a show about truth and subjectivity in the midst of a brouhaha of an election cycle — and a show about truth and subjectivity told through the eyes of cowboys, no less, characters plucked straight from the rich tapestry of American myth: the virtuous gunslinger, the equanimous desperado, the inebriate gambler. America sees itself in cowboys, those lone heroes silhouetted against the sunset and triumphing against impossible odds. Teddy Roosevelt, Ronald Reagan, and George W. Bush all channeled the cowboy, and turned it into electoral success. Donald J. Trump, with his French cuff shirts and Florida golf courses, didn't exactly capture the cowboy image — but he did, I think, capture the cowboy ethos.
Trump was a renegade, a wrecking ball, a renunciation of politics-as-usual. In other words, a go-it-alone, gunslinging cowboy. And America eats that shit up like beans at a campfire.
To me, this election seemed to hinge on three things, three veins in American politics, that Trump really tapped into — and that I had no idea existed. It's taken me a long time to try to wrap my head around this, all the way from election night and on past inauguration day. But I can't help think about it, and I don't think I'm done, so I want you to think about it with me.
Those veins, in no particular order:
Part I: The Re-Greatening of America
I am beyond sick of the phrase MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN. This is probably because I am a sore loser.
But it was everywhere this election — on hats, on bumper stickers, on billboards, blogs, headlines, hashtags… And I every time I saw it, I dismissed it immediately.
Because for me, America was already great. I grew up in an upper middle class home in a Los Angeles suburb. I had a phenomenal public school education. I was accepted into a fantastic private university. I voted for a president — twice — who believed in the things I believed in, who talked like me, who thought like me. I studied hard in college, waited out the economic downturn by going to grad school, built some cool robots, drank a lot of beer, screwed around in Europe for a quarter, and just two years and one raise after graduating, I was already making more money annually than over 90% of American wage earners.
Why would anything ever need to change?
What this worldview is missing, clearly, is an understanding that America wasn't and isn't great for everyone.
In my day job — when I'm not writing blogs — I make factories. I'm an engineer, and I've designed robotic manufacturing tools for three different companies now (six, if you count acquisitions). Every time, there's a delicate balance between creating good, challenging, fulfilling blue-collar manufacturing jobs, and buying a robot the price of a nice Cadillac.
I don't actually make factories that make Cadillacs, but I'm sure the same is true across the automotive industry sprawl in the Midwest. What was in the 1950s a necessity — hand-welded steel frames, hand-stitched leather steering wheels — is now bespoke, a luxury. There's always a complaint that outsourcing and foreign manufacturing is stealing American jobs from American patriots, but that hides the real problem: it's hard to convince a company to pay a welder $50,000 a year, every year — plus benefits, insurance, retirement fund matching, sick leave, office coffee — when a robot that does the same thing, ten times faster and with sub-millimeter accuracy, sets you back $200k initially and works for nothing but acetylene and spare timing belts for ten years after that.
The face of manufacturing in the United States — in the world — is changing to something that doesn't have a face, something that's mostly joints and gears, motors and oil. But it's harder to blame something instead of someone, and so when the factory is shuttered, where does that anger go?
To be fair, I'm not trying to say that robots and automation kill jobs. I think they make a lot of jobs — technical jobs servicing and repairing machines, logistical jobs supplying them with raw materials and carting away finished goods, construction jobs building bigger and better factories, new and novel jobs revealed only when the old ones are swept away. But I do think robots kill a very specific kind of job. A kind of job that America romanticizes, in a way: that of the hard-working, oil-stained man who spends his days at a factory building, constructing, creating.
If I had to pick a trope to follow the cowboy in the American pantheon, it'd be the factory worker. But even the robot cowboys in Westworld are made by other robots.
Maybe the main problem is that usually the less technical skill a job requires, the easier it is to automate. Don't get me wrong here — I'm consistently impressed by the skill of the machinists and welders I work with. They're artists, able to do things no machine ever could. But when you're putting together ten thousand cars a day, you don't need artistry; you need efficiency. A passable, functional, ugly weld will do, if it takes a fraction of the time and money to make, and a passable, functional, ugly weld is something that's much easier to learn to make. The same is true in other industries — why pay a person to stand behind a fast food cash register, when a touchscreen can do the job?
So it's not that robots are terminating (eh, see what I did there?) American employment — they're just changing it. If Westworld is any indicator, the hospitality industry has a long time to wait before it watches its jobs become automated. But these traditional, blue-collar bedrock jobs in factories are gone, and at some point they're not going to come back no matter how many bribes we offer air conditioning companies in Indiana.
The United States should be investing — heavily — in education, job transition programs, technical skill training, maybe even public sector employment (say, in infrastructure construction) or wage insurance. But we haven't, really. For years, Democrats have provided no real solutions for the workers affected by automation and, to a lesser extent, globalization, treating their votes as a foregone conclusion irrespective of policy. Republicans provided no solutions for them, either, and just wrote off their votes. So as factories close, workers suffer, unable to find or unqualified to fill those new jobs that appear when robots arrive.
But Trump didn't ignore these people — he campaigned for them, to them, in a way just like Bernie Sanders did. Unfortunately, Trump seems intent on blaming all lost manufacturing jobs on trade policy and immigrants, so I'm skeptical we will see the kinds of programs we need any time soon.
Immigration and trade are not the problem. I am the problem, me and engineers like me enabling our future robot overlords. We're increasing our country's productivity, expanding our company's profit, strengthening our planet's well-being — but at the expense of tens of thousands of jobs, jobs that people used to be proud to hold. I think automation and globalization are great things for humanity as a whole. But without smart policies from government, they can be devastating for specific people.
All of this adds up to a huge swath of the country that really isn't having a great time anymore.
In 2015, the states with the highest percentage of manufacturing jobs were:
- Indiana (17.1%)
- Wisconsin (16.4%)
- Michigan (14.0%)
- Iowa (13.7%)
- Alabama (12.9%)
- Arkansas, Ohio, and Kentucky (all 12.7%)
Donald J. Trump won every single one of those states, flipping Wisconsin red for the first time since 1984 and Michigan for the first time since 1988.
* * *
A broader, historical aside: unemployment, such as the loss of manufacturing jobs in the Rust Belt, can lead to (for lack of a better phrase) some crazy shit.
During the Great Depression, unemployment took off in Germany — followed closely by the share of the vote won by the Nazi party, which provided a scapegoat and a vague promise of a return to greatness.
You could also look an unemployment with regards to radicalization and terrorism — The Economist shows that while the average country had about 16% youth population with 14% youth unemployment in 2016, Arab countries had an 18% youth population with 30% youth unemployment. This probably contributed to the Arab Spring, which was a great force for democratization in the Middle East, but I'm hard-pressed to believe this doesn't also create a disillusioned generation susceptible to hard-line indoctrination from something like ISIS.
To be clear, I am not calling Donald Trump a Nazi, or a terrorist (though the fact that I even need to add that caveat is telling). And I can't fault people for being scared when life as they know it is changing. In the particular case of America in 2017, I just don't think Trump's protectionism and isolationism are the right solutions, and I think history will prove me right.
What's needed now — and what maybe no one has really figured out yet — is how to course-correct and wrest the steering wheel from ideologues and demagogues worldwide, who promise easy solutions to exceedingly complex problems.
Part II: Will the Real America Please Stand Up?
That prototypical factory worker I conjured in the last section, or the cowboy before that, could easily be labeled REAL AMERICA today.
To be blunt, it's another phrase I hate. Somehow, "real America" has become a metonym for white, conservative America — the America that lives in rural areas, owns 1.2 guns per capita, splits its own firewood, and sends its children to Sunday School.
That America is real, I admit — but it does not have a monopoly on real America.
And to claim so — to stage a linguistic coup by staking claim to the very phrase — is insulting, rude, offensive, and, I'll say it, un-American. Because if that's real America, it means by definition I live in some kind of fake America, populated by fake Americans.
I live in the United Goddamn States of America, thank you very much.
My great- and great-great-grandparents fled persecution in Europe because they saw a place across the Atlantic where they would be treated equally. My grandparents fought in Europe to defend a country willing to stand up to injustice. That is America: fair, just, good. It welcomes the oppressed, protects the tyrannized, gives voice to the voiceless.
My America is rolling farmland in the country, yes, but it is also crowded subways in the city, ballet classes in the suburbs, sleepy diners in small towns. It is white, but it is also brown and black and tan. It speaks English, Spanish, Mandarin, Farsi, Korean, French. It is an America without a convenient demographic summary, an America made stronger and taller by the disparate backgrounds and experiences that surround it, enfold it like a scaffold and drive it to new heights.
Is my America less valid, less real, than yours because it is multicolored and multicultural? Are my experiences less American because I type and text instead of hunt and fish? Do we not both pine for the same sultry sexbots?
Well, okay, strike that last bit. But you can see what I'm getting at — politics has somehow become tribal and confrontational in this country, a game of us versus them, coastal elites versus heartland good-ol'-boys, guests versus hosts. What's different between my California lifestyle and someone in, say, Wyoming, is not neurons versus bits like in Westworld, but it is experience versus experience, and I'll be the first to admit that the lenses we see the country through are very different. So sure, I live in a bubble. But so does everyone — we construct bubbles around ourselves, insulate our lives with layers of the past that tint our vision of the present. Real America is the sum of all our bubbles, not any specific one.
An America that excludes anyone can never be real in the way America was intended to be.
Part III: Post-Fact America
Of all the phrases that came out of this election cycle, though, the one that scares me the most is the proliferation and weaponization of FAKE NEWS.
What started as an attack on our election by outside forces — a slew of articles describing untrue actions and policies of both Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump — has become an attack on one of the central pillars of a free democracy: the independent press. "Fake news" is now, suddenly, a slur to be leveled against facts that don't agree with your worldview.
There has been a total devaluation of fact as the currency of information. Truth is no longer objective, but just one more part of the narrative.
There are plenty of examples to choose from here, but the one that galls me the most is probably the Trump team's claim after the election that they won in a landslide, declaring a mandate to make America you-know-what again. This was just so provably, demonstrably, objectively false that I couldn't believe it was happening.
To recap, Donald Trump:
- is president (no question there)
- lost the popular election by three million votes
- won the electoral college with 56.9% of the available votes, ranking 46th out of the 58 presidential elections this country has held
The only landslide here is the avalanche of bullshit coming out of this administration. But if you disagree with their narrative — that this eking out of a victory, granted by the anachronistic technicalities of the American electoral system, was instead a massive triumph, an historic revolution — well, then you're fake news. Because the landslide is what happened, remember?
It's true that history is written by the victors, but we have a rare chance here to see it happening in front of us.
Maybe this is where we were always headed, an inevitable crash course between freedom of choice and freedom of the press. If you can choose what to read, why not choose what to believe? I'm certainly guilty of the echo chamber effect — I read the New York Times, not Fox News — and I think that the transition from traditional media to social media, from print to screens, has exacerbated the problem of choice versus truth. When revenue models are based on clicks and page views, it's easy to fall into a cycle of inflammatory headlines and clickbait outrage, on both sides of the aisle.
For all of Trump's business shortcomings — he'd be worth a lot more money if simply invested in the stock market back in the 1980s — he is a masterful television star. I fully believe the narrative he's crafting is an intentional, deliberate effort to build up his image. The fact that gold-plated real estate mogul billionaire Donald J. Trump somehow won the presidency as a populist, as the voice of the downtrodden working class, should be evidence enough.
What terrifies me the most is that he might pull it off. The Atlantic put into words the apprehension I've been feeling perfectly this week, a future where nothing really that outrageously bad happens during a Trump presidency, and his behavior — the bullying, the braggadocio — becomes normalized. America grows to accept his brand of racism and sexism and xenophobia, and while we remain incensed about the really big affronts to democracy and decency, many of the smaller things slip through, maybe due to outrage fatigue or maybe just because there are so many smaller things to keep track of. Trump family members enrich themselves, jockeying to be a political dynasty half in the Kennedy mold and half in the Kim mold — a rapid shift from Kardashian fame to Jong-Un personality cult. There's no single trigger event, no crackdown on human rights, but the country slouches, steadily, away from full democracy and towards plutocracy and kleptocracy. The founding principles of this country are eaten away at the edges, and probity gives way to profit.
This is, of course, just one scenario, and certainly not the worst case (say, a massive rollback of liberty, women's rights, and civil rights) or the best case (Trump backs off on the controversial social policies and really does deliver on substantial economic growth), but more and more it seems like one of the likeliest scenarios to me.
The war of words, the battle over truth, is the front line of this conflict. Is truth what we're programmed to believe, or what we see with our own eyes?
There's a line that's repeated a lot in Westworld, so much that it has almost become the series' tagline: these violent delights have violent ends.
That's a quote from Romeo and Juliet, though a little out of context. It's from about halfway through the play, as Romeo and Friar Laurence wait for Juliet to arrive so that the good friar can marry the two young lovers. Laurence cautions Romeo:
These violent delights have violent ends
And in their triumph die, like fire and powder,
Which as they kiss consume: the sweetest honey
Is loathsome in his own deliciousness
And in the taste confounds the appetite:
Therefore love moderately; long love doth so;
Too swift arrives as tardy as too slow.
(The fact that the show uses this quote, and also has a character named Lawrence who helps two young lovers of very different backgrounds escape a war zone, just further cements how great it is, if you ask me.)
In Westworld, the phrase violent delights is taken at maybe even more than face value, a Shakespearean excuse to watch the robot hosts stab, slice, scalp, shoot, and otherwise savage their human tormentors. But in context with the rest of the warning from the friar, it isn't meant to be vicious at all. Be careful, Laurence says, for a love this strong can end as quickly as it started.
The transformation of Donald Trump from reality television star to president was a whirlwind romance with the American people. And like any whirlwind romance, it could last forever — or be finished next week. In the meantime, the United States feels at odds with itself: Capulets and Montagues, hosts and guests, Republicans and Democrats.
I don't know where the common ground went, but our job for the next four years is to find it. Our job for the next four years is to fight for truth, to fight for facts, to fight for the very foundations of our democracy.
Our job for the next four years is to make America great by making America remember: e pluribus unum — out of many, one.

Mueller Planetarium asks: 'Did you Know?'
Released on 05/31/2006, at 2:00 AM
Office of University Communications
University of Nebraska–Lincoln
WHEN: Thursday, Jun. 1, 2006, through Aug. 20, 2006
WHERE: Mueller Planetarium, University of Nebraska State Museum (Morrill Hall), 14th and U Streets
In a new astronomy show opening June 1 at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln's Mueller Planetarium, viewers will be able to fly down a valley on Mars, land on one of Saturn's moons, check out the North Star and visit distant galaxies. "Did You Know 2" is the successor to a popular planetarium show at Mueller featuring short segments on a variety of topics.
"This format has worked very well with summer family audiences," planetarium coordinator Jack Dunn said. "They get to learn a bit about the sky, and at the same time experience some great discoveries."
Dunn said the planetarium's association with the Space Telescope Science Institute "ViewSpace" program and the Museum Alliance administered by the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, has provided the planetarium with unique perspectives and media materials. In this show, new Hubble images and visualizations from space probes highlight the continuing exploration of the universe. Running time of the show is approximately 35 minutes.
Beginning June 1 and running through Aug. 20, "Did You Know 2" will be presented Tuesdays through Fridays at 2 p.m. and Saturdays and Sundays at 2 and 3 p.m. Also, beginning June 1, the children's planetarium show, "Sol and Company," will be seen at 11 a.m. Tuesdays and Thursdays.
Mueller Planetarium is part of the University of Nebraska State Museum in Morrill Hall, 14th and U streets on the UNL City Campus. Tickets for planetarium shows are $6 for adults and $4 for elementary and secondary students and college students with ID.

He revealed that the WHO has also been alerted informally to the discovery of a small number of other Tamiflu-resistant viruses. He would not say where they were found or how many there were in total.
"It's a small number. It certainly doesn't change the scale of what we're seeing," Penn said.
The above comments by WHO are curious. WHO is funded by member nations and has a mandate to protect citizens of member nations. The withholding of important information such as the number and location of Tamiflu resistant pandemic H1N1 virus is not consistent with that mission. Tamiflu is widely used and recommended by WHO, so the withholding of information on resistance leads to inappropriate used of the antiviral, and places patient care and health care systems at risk.
This type of risk was easily seen in the two immuno-suppressed patients detailed in the recent MMWRdispatch. WHO has maintained that resistance is rare and due to spontaneous mutations selected in Tamiflu treated patients. However, recent data, including that from thepatients in Washington state suggested that the limited number of reports is related to limited and delayed testing, which is compounded by the withholding of information on identified isolated.
The MMWR describe patients who were H1N1 infected in June. The patients were treated with Tamiflu and detectable resistance developed quickly. However, treatment was increased and resistance was not confirmed until August, after one patient developed a Tamiflu resistant recurrence and the other patient continues to be hospitalized in spite of treatment with Tamiflu, Relenza, and ribavirin. The ability of Tamiflu resistant pandemic H1N1 to persistence in such aggressively treated patients increases concerns that the recent worldwide rise in patient deaths and hospitalizations is linked in part to such resistance.
When WHO stated it was withholding the information on resistance, there had already been 8 examples in patients which were supported by sequence data. Another example (in Thailand) had already been described in media reports and shortly after the proclamation by WHO, Hong Kongreported another cases of resistance in a patient being treated prophylatically and the two patients in Washington State were detailed. Moreover, additional information on the American patient in Singapore provided compelling data that H274Y was silently circulating because the vast majority by WHO and consultants involved samples collected prior to Tamiflu treatment, which were failing to detect the H274Y present as a mixture in the H1N1 samples being sequenced.
The WHO should be encouraging countries to promptly report resistance and expand testing to patients who have been briefly treated with Tamiflu. A true accounting of H274Y in pandemic H1N1 is long overdue. Source : Recombinomics

I just stayed there in July 2016, although I been going every year me and my family for the past 5yrs!!!! It's a nice comfortable friendly place except for this one guy this time around. The short stubby guy was real ignorant,arrogant and prejudice!!!! His attitude was disgusting !!! A real turn off he might make me second guess ever coming back
My wife, two grandsons and I stayed here in beginning of July. This place was fantastic, the hotel is very clean, rooms are spacious and location is great. But i have to tell you the most enjoyable part was the staff, very friendly and always trying to make your stay the best. We have stayed many, many places in O.C. but we will return here. Thanks for a great time.
Ive stayed many years in oc alot of hotels this hotel was last min but was very glad we stayed .the young lady at desk in morning was super nice and 2 men at desk afternoon and evening always went out of the way to make us feel at home.the indoor pool was a hit made alot of friends.the entire place did everything to make our stay a vacation.ty staff
What a great place!!! Friendly staff and willing to go the extra mile to make everyone welcome. Loved the views from our 5th floor balconies and the separation of the rooms in the suite were a plus. We found our go to place for our next visit. Thank you for a great experience!!!
The staff was so helpful and considerate. Such customer service you don't see anymore. The room was clean and up to date. Great weekend Thanks
Thank you management & staff for making our stay at Carmen Suits a wonderful experience, our room was comfortable, cherry, and very, very clean, the staff was very attentive, always asking if we needed anything, and the wonderful coffee at the ready 27/7, we highly recommend Caymen Suits, we will be back.
My husband and I stayed here in September for our honeymoon and absolutely fell in love with the place as neither of us had ever been to OC before. The staff was very friendly and helpful and the room was perfect. The location was great and we were able to leave the car and walk to different restaurants. The grocery store is not far away as we opted to cook some meals to save money. We had a great time and enjoyed watching the sunrise from our balcony. We are looking forward to visiting again soon.
We saw sum bad reviews was really scared but the kids loved the indoor pool very big lots of parking staff was great had no prob like other people review wold stay here again for sure going back in oct but have to stay at another hotel cause cayman will b closed only recommended try serving light breakfast that would b great
We have been coming here for six years, and wouldn't stay anywhere else. The top floor allows a view of the ocean and bay. It's within walking distance to park/shopping/restaurants. And the staff is as nice as they come. Highly recommend!
My husband and I were just there the beginning of August. Nice place to stay. Nice room. Friendly staff. Big thank you.

Semi-compact steel plates with unilateral restraint subjected to bending, compression and shear
Document Type
Publication details
Bradford, MA, Smith, ST & Oehlers, DJ 2000, 'Semi-compact steel plates with unilateral restraint subjected to bending, compression and shear', Journal of Constructional Steel Research, vol. 56, no. 1, pp. 47-67.
Published version available from:
Peer Reviewed
The buckling of thin-walled steel plates which are juxtaposed with a rigid medium must be treated as a contact problem, since the local buckles may only form away from the rigid medium in a unilateral mode. One particular example is the bolting of plates to the sides of reinforced concrete beams in order to stiffen and strengthen the original concrete beam. Plates which experience first yield before local buckling are referred to as semi-compact, and this paper uses an energy method developed elsewhere by the authors to study the unilateral local buckling of restrained plates, so that limiting depth to thickness ratios may be obtained that delineate the semi-compact section classification when the plate is subjected to a combination of bending, compressive and shearing actions. The application to retrofitting concrete beams is discussed.

Paying more for poor quality never makes sense. Yet it happens more often than we'd like to think. Poor quality when it comes to your coffee lid may mean a stained garment. Poor quality in health care can mean your life. Somewhere in-between those extremes is your IT infrastructure. It may not mean your life (although it could mean your career) but it is definitely more significant than a coffee stain. High quality IT starts with good organization and a high level of skill. It also requires attention to detail. Something as simple as being neat and orderly can save precious time when diagnosing an issue or performing a significant roll-out.
On our website we liken a poorly maintained network to a poorly maintained swimming pool. You wouldn't dare dip your toe in a murky pool so why would you entrust your precious data to a questionable network? Take for example a school district we started supporting a couple of years ago. A quick look at their network closets spoke volumes about how the network was being maintained. The administrators of the school district really only saw that their PC logged in the way it always had, not realizing the mess in the background. There were network IDFs installed in random locations without any thought or rationale. Equipment was stuffed on shelves without being properly secured. Cables were literally being supported by old telephone wires. It's hard to imagine this was the infrastructure of a top New York school district.
Cables were literally being supported by old telephone wires.
Pay less for more
After closely evaluating what they were paying and even in spite of the state aid they were receiving, the school district found they could get support through our firm for much less money. Would paying less mean even worse quality? Absolutely not. Competition in business means vendors have to provide a better service at a better price in order to remain viable. But how can they do that? The trick is that in the service industry doing the job right the first time and then properly maintaining it actually requires less effort in the long run. It's like a well-built engine that only needs service every 7500 miles. A poorly built engine spits oil after a few thousand miles. At the same time a well-built engine that's worked on by a poor mechanic will never perform as well as it should and likely won't last as long. Most of the time it will be sitting in the shop. However, a well built engine maintained by a master mechanic will run well for a long time without many unscheduled services. In the same way, an IT service provider that does quality work will operate more efficiently so they can charge lower prices while still being profitable. The customer ends up with a better product for less money.
Clean up takes time
The transformation doesn't happen overnight. Often when we take on a customer we operate with a loss for a short period of time as we get their network cleaned up and operating at its peak performance. In some cases budget restraints mean having to run on older equipment that inherently requires more attention. Additionally, some projects like cabling remediation requires downtime and have to be scheduled with enough time. However, within the first year we are typically able to make some headway and getting things on the right track.

Book Synopsis:
When a drunk driver tragically orphans Skylar Rose at the age of sixteen, she leaves her dreams behind and takes on the daunting task of helping her elderly grandmother raise her young sister. While other girls her age were living a typical carefree life, she was picking up double shifts at a local café and struggling to pay the bills.
Always putting her sister's needs and school first, Skylar has never had time to date or develop relationships. Now a senior in college, she has her sights set on an amazing internship opportunity. The last thing she needed was for a sexy distraction like Sebastian Thorne to walk into her life.
Sebastian Thorne had been an entitled and reckless nineteen year old when he got behind the wheel of his new sports car that night. When his night of indulgence goes tragically wrong, Sebastian hesitantly turns to the one person, he knows can make everything go away…the one person he hates ..his father.
Now twenty-six, Sebastian is the young enigmatic and powerful CEO of his late father's design company, Thorne Enterprises. With both millions in the bank and a new woman on his arm almost every night, the world never knew the dark secret he carried inside. Still plagued with nightmares from the night of that horrific accident and having to leave the beautiful girl behind, Sebastian vows to find the one that haunts his dreams. Sometimes the choice of revisiting our past opens the door to a future that we never thought possible.
Haunted by their past, these two want nothing more than to have their life given back to them. But what do you do when the person who gave you back your life, was the very one that took it from you in the first place?
*BOOK 2 THORNELESS will follow VERY VERY SOON!! Contains sexual content and abusive situations. Recommended for readers 18+ years*
Book Review:
This book broke my heart over and over. Each time my heart would soar with happiness something would happen to smash it to pieces. Every single thing that happened always came at a complete shock. I love stories like this because when you think something is going to happen, it turns out completely different. Truly great righting if I may say so myself.
Skylar Rose is one of those self sacrificing types. She has been dealt a horrible and heartbreaking hand in life. Becoming a quick mother to her younger sister when her parents die in an accident, Skylar works her butt off to give her sister a life of her own and keep her happy. Never once does she regret or wish for anything differently. The last thing on her mind is to meet a man especially not two rich and uber sexy men.
Sebastian Thorne has a secret that can break a person to pieces. Even though he knows he should stay far away from Skylar, he peruses her and finds every possible way to be close to her. When he finally realized they are falling for each other, he realizes its time to let her go and move on but then Skylar shows up for an interview with him. Working in the same building let alone same floor is a nightmare neither expected to deal with. Sebastian can't help but constantly be overwehlmed and angry for loosing control.
As Skylar tries to find a way to work with Sebastian and somehow get over him, she almost gets run over by the gorgeous Lucas. Lucas is a sweet romantic who falls completely in love with Skylar. She is put in a love triangle. Not knowing who to love and who to be with or not be with becomes far challenging than she could have ever expected.
I can relate a lot to Skylar as she struggled on her love for a man she shouldn't. Her strength was admirable. She didn't let anything derail her trying to make a good life for her sister. I'm sure I'm going to get beat up for this but...
