Series History vs. UMBC
• Maryland holds a 26-8 lifetime advantage in 34 meetings with state rival UMBC. Maryland has won 10 of the last 14 games, but the Retreivers have taken four of the last six. Prior to that, UMBC had not defeated the Terps since taking back-to-back games in 1998 and 1999.
• The Retrievers stunned the fourth-ranked Terrapins, 8-7, in a Tuesday night game at UMBC Stadium on March 6, 2012. Maryland looked to have the game in control in the fourth quarter, leading 6-3, but UMBC scored five-straight goals in the fourth quarter to take an 8-6 lead. John Haus, who led the Terps with two goals and an assist, scored with 1:31 left in the fourth to make it a one-goal game and Maryland had the ball with 30 seconds remaining, but the Terps had too many men on the field turned the ball over to end the game.
• For the second straight season Grant Catalino tied his career high with seven points to lead the Terps to a 15-6 rout of the Retrievers in 2011. Catalino scored six goals, which also tied his career high, while Joe Cummings also set a career-best with four goals. Niko Amato allowed just five goals during his 55:03 and made 12 saves.
• In 2010, Grant Catalino tied his career high with seven points to lead the Terps to their first victory over the Retrievers since the 2007 regular season. Catalino combined with fellow attackmen Travis Reed and Ryan Young for 14 points in the 13-7 win. Senior Brian Phipps made 12 saves for Maryland, while Max Schmidt led the defender with three groundballs and three caused turnovers.
• The Retrievers won their third straight over the Terps, taking a 9-7 victory at Ludwig Field in 2009. Grant Catalino and Ryan Young each had hat tricks for Maryland, but the Terrapins couldn't overcome a three-goal halftime deficit.
• In 2008 the two teams hooked up in a Friday night game that saw the Retreivers eek out a 9-8 win in triple-overtime. The Terps used a 3-0 scoring blitz in the fourth quarter to take an 8-7 lead, but UMBC tied the game with just 5.8 seconds to go to send the game into OT. Max Ritz led the Terrapins with two goals and an assist, while Grant Catalino and Drew Evans each had a goal and an assist.
• In the 2007 NCAA Tournament Maryland jumped out to a 3-0 lead, but the Retrievers responded by going on a 9-2 run spanning the second and third quarters to advance to the quarterfinals. Max Ritz and Dan Groot each had four points for the Terps, while Bryn Holmes won 10-of-14 face-offs and picked up a career-high nine groundballs.
• Earlier in 2007, Maryland topped the Retrievers, 11-7, at Chevy Chase Bank Field at Byrd Stadium. Sophomore midfielderJeremy Sieverts scored his first hat trick as a Terp, while junior attackman Max Ritz chipped in with two goals and an assist. Senior defender Ray Megill scored the first poitnts of his career with a goal and an assist.
• The Terps entered the 2006 game as the No. 1 team in the nation and the Retrievers were looking for the upset. Maryland only led by one heading into the fourth quarter, but the Terrapin defense shutout UMBC for the final 15 minutes, allowing the offense to score four unanswered goals to take home a 9-4 win. The senior trio of Bill McGlone (2-2=4), Xander Ritz (3-0=3) and Joe Walters (3-0=3) were the main weapons for the Terrapins but it was junior attackman Michael Phipps that scored the game-winning goal.
• In 2005 Joe Walters tied then-career highs with six goals and seven points to lead No. 4 Maryland to a 16-10 win over the Retrievers at Byrd Stadium. First team All-American Bill McGlone also had a career day for the Terps, setting his career high with five goals in the victory. Brendan Healy scored twice and added a pair of assists, while long pole Ryan Clarke set his career high with six groundballs. The Terrapins dominated possession, thanks in large part to winning 20 of 29 face-offs.David Tamberrino won 14 of 18, tying his personal best for wins in a game.
• In 2004 Joe Walters lead the Terps to a hard-fought 9-4 win with a natural hat trick in the second quarter. The Maryland defense was sensational, holding UMBC scoreless for 29:12 bridging the second through the fourth quarters. Terp goalie Tim McGinnis made 13 saves, including eight in the fourth quarter to preserve the victory.
• In the 2003 game in College Park, Mike Mollot and Joe Walters each had three goals while former Retriever Justin Smithhad two goals and two assists in his first game vs. his former team.
• This will be just the 10th time the two teams will play in the month of March. The 2003 game on April 25 was the first time since 1977, that Maryland-UMBC game was not be played in May. The UMBC game had been the last contest on Maryland's regular-season schedule for the 13 years, dating 1990 through 2002, with Maryland winning 10 of 13 regular-season finales.
Maryland As The No. 1 Team
• The Terps took over the top spot in the USILA Coaches' Poll on Feb. 18 after two impressive wins to open the 2013 season. The Terps became the outright No. 1 team in the country on Feb. 25 following their 12-10 victory at then-No. 1 Loyola on Feb. 23. This marks the ninth time Maryland has earned the No. 1 ranking since 1986.
• Overall, Maryland has played 24 games as the No. 1-ranked team and is 16-8 in those games.
• This season, the Terps have played one game as the nation's outright top team and is 1-0, defeating Duke, 16-7, in Durham.
• The last time Maryland was the top team in the nation was in March of 2006 after the Terps defeated then-No. 1 Duke, 8-7 on the road in overtime. Maryland defeated Towson as the No. 1 team the following Saturday, but fell, 7-6 in double-OT, to Bucknell on Tuesday, March 14. The Terrapins were still No. 1 in their 9-4 win at UMBC to close out their two-week stay at the top of the polls.
• The last time the Terps were the nation's top team was in April of 2004. Maryland's two-week run at the top of the polls ended with a 9-6 loss to No. 4 Navy in College Park.
• This season's ranking is also the earliest the Terps have achieved the No. 1 ranking in a season. Previous to this week, the earliest Maryland was ranked No. 1 was March 10, 2006.
• The longest Maryland has held on to the No. 1 ranking was seven weeks in 1987. That streak came to an end with a 13-8 loss to No. 4 Johns Hopkins in the NCAA Semifinals.
Get To 10 And Win
• One axiom of lacrosse is that if you score 10 goals or more your chances of winning are pretty good. Well, a look at the results since 2002 shows that when Maryland scores 10 or more goals there's not just a pretty good chance the Terrapins will win; it's an almost certainty. Since 2002 Maryland has won 97 of the 106 games in which the Terps have scored 10 or more goals for a .915 winning percentage.
• Maryland scored 10, but fell at North Carolina, 11-10, on March 24, 2012 and again came out on the losing end, despite scoring 11 in a 13-11 loss at Colgate on May 5, 2012. The Terps scored 11 vs. Johns Hopkins on April 16, 2011, but the Blue Jays won the game in overtime, 12-11. On April 3 of last season the Terps lost to No. 1 Virginia by a final of 11-10, giving Maryland its only loss when scoring 10 or more goals in 2010. In 2009 the Terps lost to Georgetown, 13-10 on Feb. 21 and lost again when scoring 10 in the ACC Semifinals in a 16-10 defeat at North Carolina. Prior to that, Maryland had not lost when scoring 10 or more goals since dropping an 11-10 decision to Virginia in the semifinals of the ACC Tournament in Durham, N.C. The Terrapins got to 10 goals in the 100th game against Johns Hopkins, but the Blue Jays took the game 14-10. Virginia is the only team to beat the Terps twice when allowing 10 or more goals. The Wahoos did it first in 2002 with another 11-10 decision.
Holding Opponents To Single-Digits
• The Terps have been extremely impressive (winning 91.3 percent of its games since 2002) when it scores 10 or more goals, they have been nearly as impressive when holding opponents to less than 10 goals during that span.
• Since 2002 Maryland is 113-25 in games, for a .819 winning percentage, when it has held opponents under 10 goals. The Terps have played 184 total games since 2002. Maryland has held opponents to nine goals or less 75.0 percent of the time.
Shooting Tells The Story
• The difference between winning and losing for Maryland this season is simple – when the Terps shoot well they win. As it turns out 30% is the magic number for the Terps this season. Maryland is 4-0 on the year and has shot 30% or better in its three victories.
W- Mount St. Mary's: 23 goals, 46 shots = 50.0%
W- at Hartford: 16 goals, 51 shots = 31.4%
W- at Loyola: 12 goals, 36 shots = 33.3%
W- at Duke: 16 goals, 29 shots = 55.2%
• Since 2005 the Terps are a remarkable 59-4 (.937) when shooting 30% or better in a game. The only four losses were: 13-10 to Georgetown in 2009 (the Terps shot 10 of 30 for 33.3% vs. the Hoyas), 11-10 to No. 1 Virginia on April 3, 2010 (10 of 33 for 30.3%), 12-11 in overtime on April 16, 2011 to No. 3 Johns Hopkins (11 of 28 for 39.3%) and 13-11 at Colgate on May 5, 2012 (11 of 31 for 35.5%).
• If 30% is the benchmark, then 40% shooting is in a class all to itself and Maryland has shot 40% or better in 13 games since the start of the 2008 season. Out of those 13 games, Maryland shot 50% or better in four of them.
Three Terps Named To Tewaaraton Watch List
• Senior midfielders Jesse Bernhardt and John Haus are joined by junior goalie Niko Amato on the 2013 Tewaaraton Award Watch List. The Terrapin trio are three of 92 selections on the Watch List.
• The Tewaaraton Award annually honors the top male and top female college lacrosse player in the United States. The selection committees are made up of top collegiate coaches and are appointed annually by The Tewaaraton Foundation. Committees will make additions to these lists as the season progresses and athletes earn a spot along side these elite players. The lists will be narrowed to 25 men's and women's nominees in late April. In mid-May, five men's and five women's finalists will be announced. These finalists will be invited to Washington, D.C. for the 13th annual Tewaaraton Award Ceremony, May 30 at the Smithsonian Institution's National Museum of the American Indian.
Terps On ESPNU
• Maryland has had 44 games on ESPNU since 2006. Maryland is 25-19 (.568) all-time in games broadcast on ESPNU.
• The Terps are scheduled to play five games (at Duke (W, 16-7), vs. UMBC, at Virginia, vs. Johns Hopkis and the ACC tournament semifinals) on ESPNU in 2013.

Maryland In Season Openers
• Maryland has an 84-3-1 (.960) lifetime record in season openers dating back to the 1924 season. The Terps have won their last 19 openers and 26 of the last 27, with the only loss coming to Duke in 1993, when they fell to Duke 9-5 on March 6.
• After losing their 1925 opener to Yale, 5-3, the Terps went on to win 40 consecutive season openers from 1926 through 1967. The streak was broken when Maryland tied Princeton, 6-6, in the 1968 opener. Following the deadlock, Maryland went on to win its next 14 openers, giving the Terps a 54-0-1 record over a 57-year span (Maryland did not field a team in 1944 and 1945 due to World War II.)
20 Straight in Season Openers
• After beating Mount St. Mary's to open the 2013 season the Terps have an 20-game winning streak in season openers. Five of those wins came against Villanova (1994-98) and the last nine over Denver, Mount St. Mary's (twice), Air Force, Hobart, Duke, Georgetown (four times), Bellarmine (twice), Presbyterian, Detroit Mercy and Hartford. Over the 20-year stretch, Maryland outscored its foes 290-105 (an average score of 14.5-5.3) in those games.
• The Terps have not allowed more than seven goals to any opponent in a season opener over the last 20 years. Maryland has not allowed an opponent to score 10 or more goals in a season opener since Syracuse beat the Terps, 16-13 on March 9, 1983.
Consecutive 10-Win Seasons
• Maryland's 10-9 win over the Lehigh on May 11, 2012 extended the Terps' streak of double-digit win seasons to 10. (Special thanks to Patrick Stevens of the D1scource.com).
• How does Maryland's string of 10+ win seasons stack up against the rest of the college lacrosse programs? Take a look at programs with at least six-straight 10-win seasons:
Maryland (10): 2012 (12-6), 2011 (13-5), 2010 (12-4), 2009 (10-7), 2008 (10-6), 2007 (10-6), 2006 (12-5), 2005 (11-6), 2004 (13-3), 2003 (12-4)
Virginia (8): 2012 (12-4) 2011 (13-5), 2010 (16-2), 2009 (14-2), 2008 (14-4), 2007 (12-4), 2006 (17-0), 2005 (11-4)
Notre Dame (7): 2012 (13-3), 2011 (11-3), 2010 (10-7), 2009 (15-1), 2008 (14-3), 2007 (11-4), 2006 (10-5)

Siena (6): 2012 (11-5), 2011 (13-5), 2010 (12-5), 2009 (12-6), 2008 (10-6), 2007 (10-6)
• Cornell's string of seven-straight 10+ win seasons came to an end in 2012 with a 9-4 final mark.
The 700 Club
· Maryland's 15-6 victory over Penn on April 14, 2009 was the program's 700th victory in 84 seasons of varsity men's lacrosse. The Terps join Johns Hopkins, Syracuse, Navy and Army as the only programs with 700 or more Division I wins.
· Two things that make Maryland's accomplishment all the more impressive is that the Terps reached the 700-win plateau in just their 84th season. Only Syracuse reached win No. 700 in as few seasons, but it took the Orange 53 more games than Maryland. In fact, Maryland needed only 940 games to reach 700 wins and only Johns Hopkins needed fewer games (932) to hit the historic number, but the Blue Jays did so in their 105th season.
Terps' 88th Season Of Lacrosse
• The Terps boast an all-time record of 741-249-4 (.747), dating back to the first varsity team in 1924 (a team was not fielded in 1944 and 1945 due to World War II). Maryland has finished every one of its previous 87 seasons with a .500 or better record, including last season when the Terps went 12-6. The program reached the 700-win milestone with a 15-6 victory over Penn on April 14, 2009 at Ludwig Field.
• During the decade of the 2000s, Maryland went 111-49 for a .694 win percentage, making it the winningest decade in Terrapin lacrosse history. In the decade of the 1990s, Maryland posted a 95-47 record. The .669 winning percentage matched Maryland's win percentage of the 1980s when the Terps went 83-41 and also compiled a .669 win percentage. So far, Maryland is 25-9 in the 2010's for a .735 winning percentage.
A Family Affair
· Many school's refer to their sports programs as families, but the Maryland men's lacrosse program is truely a family affair. Since 2002, the Terps have had 13 sets of brothers, including three on this season's roster, don the red and black together for at least one season.

HTC Collaborates with ST-Ericsson on CPU for Entry Level Smartphones
HTC Collaborates with ST-Ericsson on CPU for Entry Level Smartphones
Following the foosteps of Apple, Huawei and Samsung, HTC is said to be collaborating with ST-Ericsson on co-developing its own CPU for entry level smartphones.
According to China Times, HTC has already signed the memorandum of cooperation with ST-Ericsson and devices powered by the new chip are expected to arrive in 2013.
The move to develop an in-house CPU seems to suggest that HTC is reducing its reliance on Qualcomm Snapdragon processors, which power most of its devices except the international model of the One X that runs on NVIDIA Tegra 3 quad-core processor. In addition, Qualcomm warns of a shortage of its latest S4 Snapdragon processors that will force phone makers to switch to other processors that may not offer comparable performance.
It appears that Android vendors are starting to realize the benefits of developing their own CPUs. Besides gaining more control over the supply chain, they can better optimize both the hardware and software aspects to deliver better performance.
Huawei claims that the K3V2 processors in its Ascend D Quad and D Quad XL enable them to have an edge over the competition. Samsung's upcoming Galaxy S III, rumored to be powered by the company's Exynos chipset, smoked the current competition in a GPU benchmark.

IBM Releases Director 3.1, Shifts Gears of xSeries Strategy
IBM Monday released Director 3.1 and announced the latest addition to its Project eLiza initiative. IBM also announced that it will take its eServer xSeries servers head-to-head with Dell Computer's comparable offerings.
Project eLiza's goal is to create intelligent IT systems capable of managing, protecting, and healing themselves automatically.IBM Monday released Director 3.1 and announced the latest addition to its Project eLiza initiative. IBM also announced that it will take its eServer xSeries servers head-to-head with Dell Computer's comparable offerings.
Director 3.1 brings self-healing technology to the Intel-based xSeries server line. The new technology included with Director provides real-time diagnostics and the capability to "debug a server while it remains up and running," Jay Bretzmann director of worldwide marketing for IBM told ServerWatch. This feature alone will save enterprises as much as 18 hours of downtime, Bretzmann added.
Other highlights of Director 3.1 include software rejuvenation functionality, user interface improvements, usability enhancements, and new configuration tools.
These enhancements enable IBM to claim an 80 percent cost savings for xSeries systems over Dell servers, as calculated using Gartner's Return on Availability Tool. The Return on Availability Tool compared Dell's and other competitors' products to the xSeries and matched them based on availability.
With Sun Microsystems' servers time and again appearing as the main competition of the Unix-based pSeries eServer product line, IBM Monday also announced its new marketing strategy that positions Dell as its next sparring partner.
Bretzmann cited a Merrill Lynch study that found an overall reduction in IT budgets for 2002 and a increase in hardware budgets of 2 percent for this time. Thus, it stands to reason that IS organizations will try to stretch their budget dollars as far as they can, and this is where total cost of ownership and the importance of availability come into play.
Despite a common misconception that, according to Bretzmann, IBM's servers are pricier than those of its competitors, both Dell's and Big Blue's products are in the same price range. It's when total cost of ownership is examined that IBM calls the upper hand -- the savings from the increased uptime and other ease-of-use features that Director 3.1 offers.
For example, IBM claims that over a five year period its self-healing technology could save a midsize business using an eServer x220 as much as $53,110 in operating costs over a similarly configured Dell 1400SC server; using similar configurations, a large enterprise could save $553,280 in operating costs for the same period.
Director 3.1 will be included with all new xSeries servers sold. Upgrades are available for enterprises that have already purchased an xSeries server.

In the final days of the presidential race, ad spending is closing in on $1 billion.
The campaigns and outside groups have combined to spend $968 million, according to NBC News/SMG Delta.
David Goldman / AP
Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney waves as he takes the stage for a campaign event at a window and door factory, Thursday, Nov. 1, 2012, in Roanoke, Va.
An unprecedented $143 million has been spent this week, far-and-away a record for this presidential cycle -- with more ads already being booked today.
Team Romney, including the campaign and groups supporting the Republican challenger, are outspending Team Obama $96.4 million to $46.2 million this week. Accounting for this massive spending disparity, there are 11 outside groups pitching in to support Romney this week while just two are doing the same for Obama.
But despite the massive spending advantage Team Romney is enjoying over Team Obama, they are about even in ad points, according to SMG Delta. In other words, they are running about the same number of ads.
MSNBC Contributor Robert Traynham, The Associated Press' Liz Sidoti, The National Review's Jim Geraghty and former senior advisor for Vice President Al Gore, Michael Feldman, join The Daily Rundown's Chuck Todd to discuss how close the race can be.
That's because the Obama campaign booked advertising well in advance, as compared to the Romney campaign which makes buys days -- sometimes the day -- before. Outside groups also have to pay more than campaigns for their ads.
Overall, Team Romney has outspent Team Obama $573.2 million to $394.4 million in this election.
The vast majority of outside money has gone to support Romney. In fact, 85 percent of all outside money poured in during this campaign has gone to support Romney or oppose Obama.
Nearly two-thirds -- 63 percent -- of all the money going to support Romney has come from outside groups. By contrast, just 16 percent of the money supporting the president has come from outside groups.
Outside money
Pro-Romney: $363 million
Pro-Obama: $63.5 million
Total: $426.5 million
Here's a rundown of the top spenders overall:
1. Obama $330.7m
2. Romney $210.2m
3. American Crossroads (pro Romney) $87.7m
4. Restore Our Future PAC (pro Romney) $87.6m

Google Inc. has been vacuuming up fragments of people's online activities broadcast over public Wi-Fi networks for the past four years, a breach of Web etiquette likely to raise more privacy worries about the Internet search leader.
Even Google was troubled by its behavior, and issued a public apology Friday. The company said it only recently discovered the problem in response to an inquiry from German regulators.
"Maintaining people's trust is crucial to everything we do, and in this case we fell short," Alan Eustace, Google's top engineering executive, wrote in a blog post.
Google characterized its collection of snippets from e-mails and Web surfing done on public Wi-Fi networks as a mistake, and said has taken steps to avoid a recurrence. About 600 gigabytes of data was taken off of the Wi-Fi networks in more than 30 countries, and Google plans to delete it all as soon as it gains clearance from government authorities.
None of the information has appeared in Google's search engine or other services, according to Eustace.
Google's contrition may not be enough to allay growing concerns about whether the company can be trusted with the vast storehouse of personal information that it has gathered through its search engine, e-mail and other services.
Fears that Google is morphing into a real-life version of "Big Brother" has spurred previous privacy complaints as well as pleas for more stringent regulation of the company.
The Wi-Fi data was sucked up while Google expanded a mapping feature called "Street View" that also has pressed privacy hot buttons. Street View provides photographs of neighborhoods taken by Google cameras that have sometimes captured people doing things they didn't want to be seen doing, or in places where they didn't want to be seen.
As it set out to photograph neighborhoods around the world, Google equipped its vehicles with antenna as well as cameras so it could create a database with the names of Wi-Fi networks and the coding of Wi-Fi routers.
What Google didn't know, Eustace said, is that some experimental software was being used in the Street View project, and that programming picked up the Web surfing that occurred on publicly accessible Wi-Fi networks if the company's vehicles were within range of the signal.
Google only gathered small bits of information because its vehicles were on the move and its tracking equipment switched channels five times a second.
The incident has prompted Google to abandon its effort to collect Wi-Fi network data. In an apparent show of its commitment to privacy, Google also said it will introduce a new option next week that will allow its users to encrypt searches on its Web site as an added protection against unauthorized snooping.

Kim Kardashian divorce trial date set
Kim Kardashian has a due date for her baby and now a trial date for her divorce from NBA player Kris Humphries, The Associated Press reports.
A judge set a May 6 trial for the reality TV star who wants to end her marriage before July, when her child with Kanye West is due.
Kardashian filed for divorce Oct. 31, 2011, after she and Humphries had been married just 72 days. Their lavish, star-studded nuptials were recorded and broadcast by E! Entertainment Television.
The trial is expected to last three to five days and could reveal details about Kardashian's reality show empire, which includes "Keeping Up With the Kardashians" and several spinoffs.
Two judges determined Friday that Humphries' attorneys have had enough time to prepare for the trial.
Humphries wants the marriage annulled based on his claim that Kardashian married him only to help hype her show.
She denies that allegation and says the case should be resolved through what would be her second divorce.
Humphries' attorney Marshall Waller asked for a delay until basketball season is over.
But Superior Court Judge Scott Gordon refused, saying firefighters, police officers, truck drivers and others have to miss work for trials, and Humphries must do the same if necessary.
Waller filed paperwork Thursday to withdraw from the case but didn't mention that development in court and declined to answer any questions about the document.
Waller said he was still hoping to obtain and review 13,000 hours of footage from Kardashian's reality shows to try to prove the fraud claim but noted he has no agreement yet to receive the video.
A Kardashian attorney said her client was ready for trial.
"Let's get this case dispensed with," attorney Laura Wasser said.
Humphries has provided a deposition in the case; so have West and Kardashian family matriarch Kris Jenner.

The hulking dinosaur of a camera that photographer Elsa Dorfman has based her career on for over 30 years could soon become extinct.
Dorfman, now 74 and living in Cambridge, was first introduced to the 20"x24" Polaroid in 1980. She had been invited by the company to try one of the 240-pound behemoths that had originally been built in 1976. Simply referred to by the size of the prints it makes, the 20x24 was like a much larger version of the Polaroid cameras most people were familiar with (the camera and Dorfman are pictured above). It only took a few shots to get her hooked.
"From the minute I used it I loved it," she says.
She particularly appreciated the physicality of both the camera and the film. The only way to move the heavy, wood-frame beast is on wheels. Once it's in place, the 5'5" Dorfman opens the back and gets on a stool to see through the focusing screen, adjusting the enormous accordion-like bellows to focus the lens. Focusing takes skill but also a little guessing: The subjects appear upside-down and backwards, and the focusing screen never truly captures the full plane of what appears on the film.
"You just get used to it," Dorfman says. "By now I think I could walk in an upside-down world."
Once she has the focus where she likes it, she closes the back and triggers the shutter with a cable release.
All of the film and developing chemicals are stored in the back of the camera. When the lens opens, it exposes a negative. Through a series of buttons and levers, the exposed negative is then sandwiched together with a piece of positive film, and pulled through a set of rollers that apply the developing chemicals and transfer the negative to the positive.
To get the developed picture out of the camera, Dorfman then has to kneel down (or now that she's 74, sit on a stool) and physically pull it out from the bottom of the developing back and cut the exposure off of the roll.
"It's sort of like delivering a baby," she says.
She then waits 90 seconds and peels the old negative off the positive, revealing the final picture.
"There are a lot of steps where you can make mistakes and every picture is like a mechanical miracle," she says. "The photographer has to be very focused, there is no going back and correcting."
Because Polaroid only originally made five of these cameras, Dorfman can tell whether a print came from her camera or another, just based on the streaks the developing pods leave behind. She says the film has aged well, but has lost a little bit of the vibrancy and soul it had back in the day.
While Polaroid was still in business, it was relatively easy to find someone who could fix the camera any time it broke. Today, there are only a handful of people who know how to tinker with the finicky creatures. A while back, Dorfman's regular repair person was busy so she had to beg a furniture maker who was familiar with cameras to help her fix a broken handle that helped open and close the film rollers.
"Everyone who could work on these cameras keeps on dying or moving to Florida," she says.
Since Polaroid filed for bankruptcy in 2001, the future of their products have been in question. In an attempt to ensure the 20x24 project would live on, in 2007 Dorfman connected her friend Daniel Stern, an investor, with John Reuter, a photographer who ran the 20x24 program for Polaroid. Together the two formed a new company that secured and stored the remaining 20x24 film, found a place to mix the needed chemicals and figured out how to keep making the developing pods.
But even with all this work, there is only enough 20x24 film left for a couple more years. A new company is exploring ways to re-manufacture the giant film, but at the moment there is a finite amount left. A single photo now costs $200 to make.
Like everyone who shot on the handful of 20x24s Polaroids made, Dorfman started by renting the camera. She shot portraits of anyone who would pay her, and slowly her style and aesthetic started to evolve.
"I seem to be the kind of person who doesn't know where she's going, but about three quarters of the way there I say, 'Oh, I'm doing such and such,'" she said. "I would be too afraid to think about [a direction] for fear I would ruin it or that I would be too self conscious."
After thousands of shots on the giant Polaroid, some of which hang in permanent collections at places like the National Portrait Gallery, and lasting influence in the photo world for her work, Dorfman refuses to categorize herself as a "name."
"I might be a name to some people, but I'm not a name to myself, or my husband, or my son. I still take out the trash," she says.
Like Dorfman herself, the photos don't pull any punches. They're straightforward portraits that aren't over-stylized but somehow get to the soul of their subjects.
The poet Robert Creeley (who Dorfman collaborated with on a book) described her work this way: "She is a remarkable reader of people, hears and sees them so unobtrusively that there is no overbearing hand of the artist to contend with, or perversely — to value. Her photos have extraordinary passion for their subjects, but nothing is ever sweetened or blurred."
Her first book, published in 1974, called Elsa's Housebook: A Woman's Photojournal, is a set of portraits and snapshots that document a time of her life as a young, single woman living in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
She was hanging with a well-known crowd that included people like Allen Ginsberg, but the photos don't attempt to make him, or anyone else out to be more than just her friends. Shot on regular film, the photos are quite intimate but also relatively simple. Often times they're just snapshots that do nothing more than capture day-to-day life. Dorfman says she's never had the energy to chase big projects or travel across the world, so a lot of her work is centered around her own life.
While she has slowed slightly, and often becomes bogged down in the mountains of paperwork needed these days to run a photo business, Dorfman says retirement isn't on the horizon.
"I can't think that far ahead, to tell you the truth," she said. "When you're 30, 40, 50, you can think 10 years ahead. But not me. Retiring would mean putting away my camera. What would I do? The answer is no. I still have so much fun with what I do that it's almost illegal."
So much fun, in fact that she can't imagine stopping for anything. Though her long career has largely been based around an affection for the Polaroid, Dorfman's love for photography itself is stronger. If the film runs out, she says, maybe she'll get a digital camera.

Jo has been personable and efficient in setting up my website. She did a great job of understanding what I wanted and providing guidance from her wealth of experience. She has explained things in a non-technical way and has been very responsive, patient and flexible in working with me. In short, Jo is great value for money and easy to work with.Vanessa Rhone (Venus Works, Oxford)
Excellent, efficient service from Jo. Highly recommend.Xan Rice (Journalist, Oxford)
I am not exactly a technophobe but due to previous experiences of pressing buttons that I have no business pressing I have shied away from doing thing to update or improve my site. I have called on Jo Cox's expertise several times and she is always quick, efficient and gets you back on track whilst also calming you down. I can honestly say that there is no one else I would call on in an emergency to sort out problems with my website. I have never had a bad experience with Jo's services or with Jo as the service provider.Lisa Bentley (Writer, Liverpool)
Jo has been amazing. Through 1-2-1 training sessions she has helped me to make significant improvements to my website functionality. This has not only been cost effective but it also has empowered me to use the skills that I have gained to edit my website myself in the future. She has simplified what I thought would be tricky tasks. I will definitely continue to work with her in the future and I couldn't recommend her highly enough.Felicity Wood (Yoga Instructor, Bicester)
Jo took my simple brief outline of what I wanted and turned it into everything I wanted and more. Jo was very professional, efficient and she was patient and understanding with the fact that I was not knowledgeable about building websites or what's involved. By the end of it Jo had given me and my team a training session around how to manage the website. I would highly recommend her!Sharon Mulholland (Sandcastle Mortgages, Kidlington)
Jo was completely fantastic! I'd been struggling to make a WordPress blog design work and was completely stumped. I made an enquiry to Jo about some help, and she replied within 24 hours. It was easy to agree on a price for the things that needed to be done, and she had fixed everything within 48 hours of the original enquiry. I had thought my problem was too small for someone to help with it, but I was pleasantly surprised that Jo was happy to sort out the small issues with my site for an extremely reasonable fee. Throughout the process, Jo was efficient, effective and stayed in regular communication. She answered all of my questions, even the really idiotic ones, and nothing was too much trouble. The entire experience was great and I would recommend her in a heartbeat to anyone who needs help with a website project – big or small. She is, in short, superb at what she does.Imogen Goold (Blogger, Oxfordshire)
I wish I had found Jo earlier. We wanted to progress from making simple text edits to getting more out of the CMS. After a very enjoyable training session, we can now design new pages and keep the website organised. Excellent.Margaret Hildreth (JP Hildreth Ltd, High Wycombe)

Sabiduría en Uber
A community promoting age diversity in the workplace
Our mission
To promote diversity and inclusion of all generations by celebrating and sharing the wisdom that comes with age.
What we stand for
Promoting age diversity
Raising awareness of the importance of building age diversity in the workplace at Uber and beyond.
Building community
Providing a safe space for Uber employees 40+ and their allies of any age to share their experiences and work together to fight ageism across the organization. We build community through events with external speakers, informal get-togethers, and events with cross-sectional ERGs.
Encouraging mentorship
Creating and encouraging mentorship opportunities to share knowledge across generations.
Featured members
Deanna Slocum
Director, Compliance and Ethics
I work on the Global Compliance team within Legal and am responsible for programs (including training), processes, and policies. Previously, I worked in Legal to help the company implement the 47 recommendations contained in the Holder/Covington Report. I don't feel very Sage (because I am in denial), but I recognize the value a group like this can bring and want to help in any way I can.
Eric Lipman
Senior Counsel, Litigation and Global Competition
I was initially shocked to discover that I qualified as a Sage upon joining Uber in the summer of 2017. Having now accepted my status, I hope to help make this ERG a valuable resource—and a source of fun activities—for its members and the Uber community as a whole.
Ron Kuris
Senior Security Engineer II
In the '70s, I wrote my first computer program. In the '10s, I co-founded the Sages at Uber ERG to educate people about ageism. In any setting, you really need a lot of diversity to get the best product possible. One aspect of diversity is age. Older workers have "been there, done that" and add a different perspective to many problems.
Mia Mazza
Senior Counsel, Litigation
After my first 20 years as a criminal prosecutor, law firm partner, and then in-house litigator, in early 2017 I joined Uber's Legal team at a time when the company was facing some of its toughest challenges ever. I love helping Uber become a more mature company, and I look forward to helping Uber employees embrace responsible adulthood as well. As a Sage, my primary areas of focus in 2019 are financial literacy and wellness, retirement planning, and estate planning.
Vera Powell
Senior Counsel, Global Compliance
I joined Uber to aid the company with its efforts to set up and implement an effective anti-corruption and anti-bribery compliance program. I was thrilled to discover that Uber has a Sages group. I embrace my age and the wisdom that, presumably, comes with it! I'm proud to be a Sage and cannot wait to hear about other Sages' and employees' life experiences. We have so much to teach each other, and we have even more to learn from one another!
Zack Train
Software Engineer II
I co-founded the Sages at Uber ERG to raise awareness about systemic ageism in the technology industry as a whole. As promoters of temporal diversity, we are the only ERG at Uber operating in the fourth dimension. My proudest moment at Uber so far was hosting the Sage "Jeopardy!" game I developed for the Sages at Uber launch party.
Events and initiatives
We host events, bringing awareness and driving discussion around our 3 main areas of interest: battling ageism, building age diversity, and encouraging mentorship. Our events are informative and fun. We've co-sponsored a financial wellness series with Morgan Stanley and a book event at Airbnb HQ on Chip Conley's recent book Wisdom@Work: The Making of a Modern Elder, with so much more to come! We currently are planning events on estate planning, making the most of our Uber benefits, and exploring a broad array of Airbnb experiences with our friends at Airbnb.

Fairing Lowers
The primary purpose of lower fairings is to aid in reducing air drag and air lift, while also being a essential aspect in protecting the rider from airborne hazards and wind induced issues.
All fairings play a huge part in increasing the aerodynamics of a motorbike, resulting in reduced fuel consumption and getting higher speeds at lower engine rpm, which in turn increases engine life.
Lower fairings provide many practical uses while also enhancing the looks of your motorbike.

ICONIC ANIMAL: How many fish or mammals or birds can you name? Okay, how many can you tie to a certain location? We're not talking about state birds, lovely and symbolic though they are. We're talking about those beasties that represent an area or region or city in an almost mythical way. They're on the sweatshirts and the postcards and even, very often, painted onto the city official vehicles and police cars. The moose and Maine go together here, as do beavers and Oregon and bison and Catalina Island. Some might even say Bigfoot and Santa Cruz or Humboldt County go hand in furry, large hand. And while Monterey County has its lush and lively share of wildlife -- whales and Monarch Butterflies are just two very popular returnees -- we must give the trophy to the otter, the trophy that stands for extreme local icon-o-sity. Of course, the otter would probably try and gnaw on it, or break the trophy open on its fuzzy belly, so perhaps a metal trophy isn't in order so much as a tasty urchin..
SO... knowing how visitors and locals alike love the otter, where would one see 'em in the area? The helpful go-here-then-there-ers at the Monterey County Convention & Visitors Bureau have drawn up a quintet of great locales where otter-spying is a distinct possibility. Yep, Fisherman's Wharf is on there, as is Cannery Row, but so is Lovers Point and Point Lobos. And, hello glorious Moss Landing, where "bachelor otters" are "huddled together in rafts." Yes. To all of this. We want to see this now, and you do, too, and we don't apologize for using the word "love" earlier, a strong word that can be tossed about too cavalierly. We love otters, and seeing them at play and at snacking and at huddling in rafts is one of the superbest of Golden State sights. Here's hoping that other iconic animals everywhere can live up the the huddled rafts for sheer sweetness. And, yes, we're talking to you, too, Bigfoot.

Perfidy, Janus-faced, and the Reality of Modern Politics
What a difference an election makes. Apparently, the past eight years, when the republicans and conservatives continually chastised, upbraided, questioned, fought with and conspiracized about Barack Obama, are gone in a flash, down the lost rabbit memory hole. Somehow you … Continue reading

Best books of 2012: 100 recommended books
Aerogrammes and Other Stories, by Tania James (Knopf; 180 pages; $24). James' prose in this first-rate collection is clean, deep, limpid; the stories she builds throw strange, beautiful light on completely unexpected places.
Astray, by Emma Donoghue (Little, Brown; 275 pages; $25.99). Donoghue's collection of linked stories explores our restless search for belonging, whether it's to a place, a person or even a cause.
Battleborn: Stories, by Claire Vaye Watkins (Riverhead; 288 pages; $25.95). Watkins' debut collection is a treat. She takes the beauty and the emptiness of the American West and employs it as a backdrop for each meticulously crafted tale.
Beautiful Ruins, by Jess Walter (Harper; 337 pages; $25.99). Walter's poignant, comical and marvelous novel brings several figures together in a quest for answers to a host of questions big and little, cosmic and personal.
Blasphemy: New and Selected Stories, by Sherman Alexie (Grove; 465 pages; $27). Tenderness and passion are elements as pervasive in Alexie's impressive body of work as his subversive humor, grief and outrage over the exploitation and neglect of indigenous people in the United States.
Bring Up the Bodies, by Hilary Mantel (Henry Holt; 410 pages; $28). Mantel's sequel to "Wolf Hall" is a swiftly moving, entertaining and erudite work of historical fiction.
Building Stories, by Chris Ware (Pantheon; boxed set; $50). Ware's inventive graphic novel is a treasure box of books, pamphlets, leaflets and other elements that let us in on the private lives of the residents of a Chicago building.
Capital, by John Lanchester (Norton; 527 pages; $26.95). Lanchester's first-rate novel totes up the human costs of the financial crisis on a single London street.
City of Bohane, by Kevin Barry (Graywolf; 277 pages; $25). Barry's lively, original and charismatic voice distinguishes his emotionally rich first novel about a gangland boss in a futuristic Ireland.
Contents May Have Shifted, by Pam Houston (Norton; 306 pages; $25.95). Houston is a wonderful writer, and the graceful vignettes in her novel - about the wider sphere of romance the world has to offer - are by turns beautiful, slyly funny and heart-stopping.
Dirt, by David Vann (Harper; 258 pages; $25.99). Set in Central California in the 1980s, Vann's novel is about degradation at the hands of family and greed and lust. Its willingness to follow its characters into their self-made tragedies is brave and brilliant.
The Dog Stars, by Peter Heller (Knopf; 336 pages; 24.95). Nothing is black or white in Heller's ravishing doomsday novel. In the midst of all the devastation, he shows us the stunning beauty of the natural world.
Drifting House, by Krys Lee (Viking; 210 pages; $25.95). In Lee's stories, set in a variety of locales - North Korea, South Korea, America - the simplicity and restraint of the writer come to the fore: declarative sentences, no fulsome descriptions despite the exotic locales of some of her stories.
Enchantment: New and Selected Stories, by Thaisa Frank (Counterpoint; 320 pages; $16.95). In her varied, imaginative and often metaphorical means of capturing emotional truth, Frank has created an honest, affecting and mesmerizing book.
Forgotten Country, by Catherine Chung (Riverhead; 296 pages; $26.95). Chung's luminous family saga, expertly interlaced with fascinating 20th century Korean history, begins with that old reliable enticement of narrative: a mysterious vanishing.
Gods Without Men, by Hari Kunzru (Knopf; 369 pages; $26.95). Mysteries abound in Kunzru's big, innovative, questioning book, set in the Mojave Desert.
Gone Girl, by Gillian Flynn (Crown; 419 pages; $25). Flynn's novel thrills and delights while poking smart fun at cable news, our collective obsession with social media and reality TV.
Gone to the Forest, by Katie Kitamura (Free Press; 224 pages; $15). Flashes of unexpected beauty keep Kitamura's novel - about an unnamed Latin American country boiling toward civil war - from becoming unremittingly bleak.
Half-Blood Blues, by Esi Edugyan (Picador; 321 pages; $15). Edugyan's soaring, engaging work brings to convincing imaginative life an all-but-forgotten segment of jazz history.
Happiness Is a Chemical in the Brain, by Lucia Perillo (Norton; 211 pages; $23.95). Fans of Raymond Carver will enjoy Perillo's mucky, Kmart realism. She raises her own tattered flag upon familiar territory.
HHhH, by Laurent Binet; translated from the French by Sam Taylor (Farrar, Straus and Giroux; 327 pages; $26). This brilliant, haunting novel centers on a daring 1942 plan that saw two freedom fighters parachute into Nazi-occupied territory and assassinate the Nazi ruler of Bohemia and Moravia.
Hold It 'Til It Hurts, by T. Geronimo Johnson (Coffee House; 343 pages; $15.95). Of the many journeys Johnson's first novel invites us on, the most poignant is the veteran's journey back into civilian life, attempting to unlearn behaviors that ensured survival but are now suddenly deplorable.
Home, by Toni Morrison (Knopf; 145 pages; $24). In Morrison's arresting novel, a Korean War veteran travels to the Jim Crow South to rescue his sister.
How Should a Person Be? by Sheila Heti (Henry Holt; 306 pages; $25). Brutally honest and stylistically inventive, cerebral and sexy, this "novel from life" employs a grab bag of literary forms and narrative styles on its search for truth.
In One Person, by John Irving (Simon & Schuster; 425 pages; $28). Irving's 13th novel moves from Vermont in the '50s to San Francisco and New York in the AIDS-ravaged '80s to the diversity-friendly 21st century. It's an eventful trip, full of sexual longing, comedy, tragedy and changing identities.
In the Kingdom of Men, by Kim Barnes (Knopf; 322 pages; $24.95). With courage and zest, Barnes' novel takes an intimate look at American oil workers in 1960s Saudi Arabia.
Inside, by Alix Ohlin (Knopf; 258 pages; $25). Ohlin's dynamic novel is about the desire to make a difference in another person's life and the difficult odds against actually doing so.
Jack Holmes and His Friend, by Edmund White (Bloomsbury; 392 pages; $26). White's novel asks sincere questions about the nature of intimacy between two men when one is gay and one is straight.
Later Poems: Selected and New, 1971-2012, by Adrienne Rich (Norton; 530 pages; $39.95). To read through this posthumous collection is to see how careful, how unpredictable and how introspective this most outspoken of poets could be.
The Lifeboat, by Charlotte Rogan (Reagan Arthur / Little, Brown; 278 pages; $24.99). Rogan's debut work, a novel of the sea, is an engrossing and impressive achievement.
Magnificence, by Lydia Millet (Norton; 255 pages; $25.95). The unnervingly talented Millet completes a trilogy of economical but intellectually packed novels set in and around Los Angeles.
Mr. Penumbra's 24-Hour Bookstore, by Robin Sloan (Farrar, Straus and Giroux; 288 pages; $25). In Sloan's debut novel, set in a quirky quasi-real but also semi-surreal version of the Bay Area, the magical, the technological, the absurd and the imaginary all fuse.
Monstress: Stories, by Lysley Tenorio (Ecco; 224 pages; $13.99). Tenorio delivers eight winsome tales illuminating the lives of Filipinos here and abroad.
My Brilliant Friend, by Elena Ferrante; translated from the Italian by Ann Goldstein (Europa; 331 pages; $17). In her fourth novel, the first in a trilogy, Ferrante brilliantly examines a fraught friendship.
The News From Spain: 7 Variations on a Love Story, by Joan Wickersham (Knopf; 208 pages; $24.95). Although Wickersham writes with an almost grave formality, she is brutal and funny too.
No One Is Here Except All of Us, by Ramona Ausubel (Riverhead; 328 pages; $26.95). If a book can be said to have a consciousness, the consciousness in Ausubel's debut novel - set in a Romanian village during the Holocaust - is infinitely tender and soulful, magical and true.
NW, by Zadie Smith (The Penguin Press; 401 pages; $26.95). The London of Smith's novel, called "NW" after the northwest corner of the city, is a fluid, mercurial thing. More than a city, it's a city's consciousness she's written here.
The Odditorium: Stories, by Melissa Pritchard (Bellevue Literary Press; 256 pages; $14.95 paperback). These are stories willing to look anywhere, at anyone: a woman who stitches an Easter bonnet from her own hair, a man who regurgitates an albino mouse named FDR. Pritchard polishes the strange and makes it shine.
The Orphan Master's Son, by Adam Johnson (Random House; 443 pages; $26). Johnson's ambitious second novel is a harrowing, clever, incomparable riff on life in Kim Jong Il's North Korea.
Panorama City, by Antoine Wilson (Houghton Mifflin Harcourt; 292 pages; $24). This crisp novel's deathbed narrator - who's not really dying - drops some great thinking about thinking.
Perla, by Carolina De Robertis (Knopf; 236 pages; $25.95). De Robertis' impressive novel tells the story of the daughter of a man who carried out atrocities in Argentina and of how she has to come to terms with her legacy.
Ring of Bone: Collected Poems, by Lew Welch; foreword by Gary Snyder (City Lights; 256 pages; $17.95). The luminous poems by the man who left behind a suicide note in 1971 - and has never been seen since - feel as vibrant today as when they first burst from the wellsprings of creativity in his head.
San Miguel, by T.C. Boyle (Viking; 367 pages; $27.95). Boyle gives us a saga of three women who are brought to the Channel Islands and try to survive the brutality of their dreams.
Seating Arrangements, by Maggie Shipstead (Knopf; 302 pages; $25.95). In her impressive debut novel, Shipstead brings together all the desired elements of an animated summer read - an exclusive New England island, an elaborate wedding (albeit shotgun), myriad drunken escapades, and decades-old slights.
Shout Her Lovely Name, by Natalie Serber (Houghton Mifflin Harcourt; 226 pages; $24). Serber's debut story collection plunges us into the humid heat and lightning of a perfect storm: that of American mothers and daughters struggling for power, love, meaning and identity.
Stay Awake: Stories, by Dan Chaon (Ballantine; 254 pages; $25). Chaon is a gifted short-story writer and is able to manipulate the form to maximum effect by creating original narratives that speak to the larger truths of grief and loss.
Suddenly, a Knock on the Door: Stories, by Etgar Keret (Farrar, Straus and Giroux; 189 pages; $14). Keret's latest collection contains 36 ingeniously funny and playfully sinister tales. His crisp language and appealingly sly tone keep the stories honest.
Sweet Tooth, by Ian McEwan (Nan A. Talese/Doubleday; 304 pages; $26.95). McEwan's more-than-nourishing tale is as much, if not more, an account of the London literary world in the 1970s as it is one of British espionage.
Telegraph Avenue, by Michael Chabon (Harper; 468 pages; $27.99). Revolving around a record store that's threatened with extinction, Chabon's novel is a bighearted, exuberantly written and very funny account of life in Oakland's Temescal borderland, circa 2004.
This Is How You Lose Her, by Junot Díaz (Riverhead; 213 pages; $26.95). Díaz's vigorous, dialogue-rich stories delve into the passions of the young in the United States and Dominican Republic.
Three Strong Women, by Marie NDiaye; translated from the French by John Fletcher (Knopf; 293 pages; $25.95). NDiaye's tripartite novel examines bravely and from both sides the collision of Europe and Africa and the significance this collision has had and continues to have on black and white lives.
Treasure Island!!! by Sara Levine (Europa / Tonga; 172 pages; $15). In Levine's crackling satire, an unnamed 25-year-old tells the story of how she stumbled into Robert Louis Stevenson's "Treasure Island."
True Believers, by Kurt Andersen (Random House; 431 pages; $27). Andersen's fiendishly smart and joyously loopy novel tells of childhood friends who grow up to become would-be American 1960s revolutionaries.
Useless Landscape, or A Guide for Boys, by D.A. Powell (Graywolf; 108 pages; $22). In his latest collection, the poet addresses age-old questions and presents a finely textured atlas of experience and desire.
The Vanishers, by Heidi Julavits (Doubleday; 284 pages; $26.95). Julavits' novel is part coming-of-age story, part murder mystery, part absurdist romp, part neurological novel. Her characters are as earnestly bizarre as Haruki Murakami's, and she's as funny as Lorrie Moore.
Where'd You Go, Bernadette, by Maria Semple (Little, Brown; 330 pages; $25.99). Semple, in her send-up of Seattle, has a gift for satirizing the rich and the silly.
A Working Theory of Love, by Scott Hutchins (The Penguin Press; 328 pages; $25.95). Hutchins' inventive, intelligent and sometimes hilarious first novel probes the nexus of philosophy, engineering and the machinery of consciousness.
The Yellow Birds, by Kevin Powers (Little, Brown; 230 pages; $24.99). Written by an Iraq war veteran, this novel does a superb job of balancing the impersonal (war) and the personal (us).
Are You My Mother? A Comic Drama, by Alison Bechdel (Houghton Mifflin Harcourt; 290 pages; $22). Bechdel's graphic novel is not only a mordantly funny inquiry of Bechdel's intellectually curious but distant mother, but also a profound look at intimacy, sexuality, art and religion.
Beautiful Thing: Inside the Secret World of Bombay's Dance Bars, by Sonia Faleiro (Black Cat; 225 pages; $15). Faleiro's book is an excellent, painstaking and often painful investigation of Mumbai's seedier nightclubs.
The Big Screen: The Story of the Movies, by David Thomson (Farrar, Straus and Giroux; 595 pages; $35). Thomson's wily and wistful history of cinema is as unfettered and full frontal an expression of movie lust as film criticism gets.
Breasts: A Natural and Unnatural History, by Florence Williams (Norton; 338 pages; $25.95). Williams has done us all a tremendous favor in ferreting out and clarifying the past, the present and the future of breasts in prose that is clear, clean and laced with humor and common sense.
Call of the Mild: Learning to Hunt My Own Dinner, by Lily Raff McCaulou (Grand Central; 321 pages; $24.99). McCaulou clearly conveys that there is a right way to hunt and to be active in both the American hunting community and the conservationist community.
Cézanne: A Life, by Alex Danchev (Pantheon; 512 pages; $40). Anything but a popularization, this biography makes a complicated artist more complex. But its rewards are many.
Crazy Brave: A Memoir, by Joy Harjo (Norton; 169 pages; $24.95). Harjo's spirited memoir describes her journey across the heartland of American Indian territory, and traces her inner passage from girlhood to womanhood.
David Park: A Painter's Life, by Nancy Boas (UC; 357 pages; $49.95). Boas' much-needed and thorough biography tells the tragic story of the San Francisco artist who died at age 49 in 1960.
Detroit City Is the Place to Be: The Afterlife of an American Metropolis, by Mark Binelli (Metropolitan; 318; $28). Binelli aims for more than tragedy - and that's one reason his book stands as the single best thing to read if you want to understand what Detroit feels like today.
Double Cross: The True Story of the D-Day Spies, by Ben Macintyre (Crown; 399 pages; $26). Macintyre's complex, absorbing final installment in his trilogy about World War II espionage describes in entertaining detail how Allied Forces gained that advantage and used it to take the beaches at Normandy.
Dreaming in French: The Paris Years of Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy, Susan Sontag, and Angela Davis, by Alice Kaplan (University of Chicago; 289 pages; $26). Kaplan weaves together a fascinating triple portrait of three unrelated characters who each spent a pivotal year in Paris.
Every Love Story Is a Ghost Story: A Life of David Foster Wallace, by D.T. Max (Viking; 356 pages; $27.95). Drawing on the rich resources of letters, interviews and Wallace's writings, Max skillfully illuminates the author's private and public lives in a well-crafted, insightful chronicle.
The Fish That Ate the Whale: The Life and Times of America's Banana King, by Rich Cohen (Farrar, Straus and Giroux; 270 pages; $27). As Cohen shows in his eminently readable biography, Sam Zemurray could be ruthless, but he left a legacy as a philanthropist as well.
Flagrant Conduct: The Story of Lawrence v. Texas: How a Bedroom Arrest Decriminalized Gay Americans, by Dale Carpenter (Norton; 345 pages; $29.95). Carpenter's excellent book is not only an in-depth study of the complicated background of a landmark Supreme Court case, but also a highly informative, even thrilling account of how the court arguments reshaped American law, possibly even inadvertently leading to the legalization of same-sex marriage.
Fraternity, by Diane Brady (Spiegel & Grau; 242 pages; $25). Brady retraces the life trajectories of five outstanding African American members of the College of the Holy Cross class of 1972, each of whom had been wooed to the school by a bold and brave Jesuit priest.
A Free Man: A True Story of Life and Death in Delhi, by Aman Sethi (Norton; 230 pages; $24.95). Sethi's book serves as an important reminder that beneath the glitter of official India's economic aspirations to global presence, there is an underclass that still lives in the shadows of India's shine.
God's Hotel: A Doctor, a Hospital, and a Pilgrimage to the Heart of Medicine, by Victoria Sweet (Riverhead; 372 pages; $27.95). With its colorful cast of characters battling the tide of history, Sweet's book - about Laguna Honda Hospital, the last almshouse in the United States - is a remarkable journey into the essence of medicine.
The Great Animal Orchestra: Finding the Origins of Music in the World's Wild Places, by Bernie Krause (Little, Brown; 278 pages; $26.99). Krause has recorded the sounds of more than 15,000 animal species and their natural ambience, and his often poetic and thoroughly entertaining book reflects his passion.
The Grey Album: On the Blackness of Blackness, by Kevin Young (Graywolf; 483 pages; $25). Young's book is a supremely stylish tribute to generations of creative African Americans.
Joseph Anton: A Memoir, by Salman Rushdie (Random House; 636 pages; $30). Rushdie's riveting memoir captures how it felt to be reviled and endangered by violent strangers because of a book that most had never read.
Killing the Messenger: A Story of Radical Faith, Racism's Backlash, and the Assassination of a Journalist, by Thomas Peele (Crown; 441 pages; $26). Peele masterfully draws a line from the "radical faith" that the scars of slavery and Jim Crow helped popularize to the bullets that turned Chauncey Bailey into "a First Amendment martyr."

I have been clearing out dried food keeping in the refrigerator lately. Cleared many stuff yet still many to clear. I had a container of dried scallop queued up in there, stared at me every time I opened the refridgerator. It was from my brother and mom, meant for boys porridge but they rarely eat porridge nowadays.
To clear all stock at once, first recipe came to my mind was XO sauce but later on I decided on this one as it is more versatile. This condiment goes very well with dishes like noodles/pasta, salad and steamed mince. Sichimi (七味) is a chili-based Japanese mixed spice containing seven ingredients and often used in soup, ramen and stew dishes.
This is a "throw-and-cook" recipe, so no precise measurement.
Dried scallop
Cooking oil + sesame oil (4:1)
- Soak scallop till softened, drain and reserve water for other purpose. Break scallop into small pieces and rub in pinch of salt if necessary.
- Heat oil in small pot, fry scallop with low heat till browned lightly.
- Add in sichimi and continue to fry with low heat till golden brown.
- Cool completely before storing into container.

we bought Ext Designer before a couple of months. I can't find the installer of the version that we used then, but I have the license number for it. And because our created app uses old version of your framework the Architect soft can't open the project. So, my question is how can I download Ext Designer so I can work with the old version of the framework.
Architect reports "This framework version is not supported."
