Finishing Makes the Difference
On the Shop Floor
Many printers recognize the opportunities offered by upgrading to newer postpress equipment and have reaped the rewards of doing so. Jim Corliss, one of the owners of Braintree Printing in Braintree, MA, says that his company has invested heavily in bindery equipment upgrades over the past 24 months. Included in the new equipment list is a Horizon BQ 470 perfect binder, Horizon HT 30 three-knife trimmer, a UV coater from Fergesen Systems, and a Scott 5000 tabber.
"We can now produce many hundreds of books in a shift. Also, the three-knife trimmer allows us to successfully bind more technically challenging books – like extremely thin or thick books, or books that bind on the short side," says Corliss. "Both the perfect binding equipment and the tab divider equipment drive color volume on our two Xerox iGen 4s and other printers."
He adds, "Before adding this equipment we used local trade binderies who always did a great job at a good price, but doing it in house improves turnaround, eliminates the cost of pick up and delivery, and keeps revenue in-house."
While high-end services contribute to the concept of providing value added services, the most popular finishing services are often very basic. "Although we provide UV coating, perfect binding, coil binding, laminating, and many other finishing products, our best selling finishing service is saddle stitching," says Joe Davis, president of Gerald Printing in Bowling Green, KY. "This service is popular because it is economical and provides a very nice looking finished product. We are able to insert return envelopes in books and newsletters when required as well."
Edie Goldberg, who, with her husband Lou, owns Goodcopy Printing & Digital Graphics in New Haven, CT, also finds plenty of business from the basics. "Folding is the most popular because almost every job requires some kind of folding – from the simple half fold to a job we have in house now that is an eight-panel fold down to 2.25x3.75" finished size."
And in Pittsburgh, Bob Weingard, president of Print Tech of Western PA, says, "I think plastic coil binding is our best finishing service, with Duplo bookletmaking being a close second. I think it's popular because it looks better and is less expensive than GBC plastic binding. Also, it lays flat and is easy to open and close."
Make It Special
Although simple services are the most popular, the most memorable jobs are anything but simple. Those jobs illustrate how important finishing can be to making your company stand out from the crowd.
Goldberg says her most memorable finishing job was for a high end appliance wholesaler which involved unusual die-cutting and folding. "We won first place in PrintImage Excellence Awards for die-cutting," she relates. "The customer loved the finished product, and they also won an award in their industry."
At Gerald Printing, Davis takes on the annual challenge of designing commencement program covers for a local college. "This year…we chose Knightkote Matte Crème Cover 80-pound, printed a gradient metallic gold swoosh effect at the bottom of the cover that bled off the sheet, then simply printed the text in black ink," he explains. "What made it pop: the school's seal was not only embossed into the sheet, but also we added spot UV coating to the seal. The results were impressive and many compliments were received."
But Weingard's favorite job points out that service is still a key ingredient in any job. His company produced the media guides for the Pittsburgh Steelers during last year's playoffs. "The media guides were several hundred pages thick and were coil bound," he says. "These were produced after each playoff game victory. If the playoff game was on a Sunday it was all hands on deck Sunday night. The updated files came to us about 6:00 p.m. on Sunday and the guides had to be ready Monday morning for the news conference. It was pretty exciting because the Steelers kept winning the playoff games and eventually won the Super Bowl."

If Steven P. Jobs, the chief executive of Apple, had any concern that the early leak of information about the iPhone 4 would deter people from wanting to buy it, it looks as if he can relax now.
The fourth-generation iPhone, which features a higher-resolution display, longer battery life and a front-facing camera for video chat, appears to be in high demand. So high, in fact, that when Apple and its partners started taking pre-orders on Tuesday, many anxious customers were unable to reserve one. The phone will be released next Thursday.
"This pre-ordering process is an absolute joke. I've tried Apple.com, ATT.com and even calling the store… no luck. #FAIL," Andrew Dumont of Seattle wrote on Twitter.
Another Twitter user by the name of JoeKLee wrote: "Apple.com and Att.com, I just want to give you guys money. Please fix your websites."
Other users have said that Apple's new retail application, which the company introduced Tuesday morning to allow customers to pre-order the iPhone 4 on their existing iPhones, isn't working.
"The app doesn't work either for upgrading… it crashes mid-process," wrote a Bits commenter using the name ES.
Mark Siegel, a spokesman for AT&T, declined to comment. At the time of this posting, Apple had not responded to requests for comment.
According to the technology blog Gizmodo, some are so fed up with the online ordering process that they've headed to an AT&T or Apple store. Gizmodo is also reporting that some people have seen evidence of a security breach involving overlap between user accounts on AT&T's site.

Sympathy Jones
nytheatre.com review by Jo Ann Rosen
September 27, 2007
Anyone who has had a job that underutilizes his or her skills will sympathize with the receptionist in the highly imaginative spoof of a musical Sympathy Jones. Masi Asare (music and lyrics) and Brooke Pierce (book) inject wit and winks to keep the plot moving. With the help of a slick cast, sharp direction, and a very capable three-piece band, Sympathy Jones showcases a great deal of talent.
Told in two acts, the story begins at a press conference where an uncanny new product—a watch that stops time—is introduced and then stolen. We are swept into the offices of an intelligence agency where the agents are a bit bumbling and the receptionist, Sympathy Jones, and her friend, Caprice (in the Gadgets Department and subsequently promoted to the Department of Disguisement), are the only ones with less gas than a helium balloon. Sympathy, eager to become an agent, finds an opportunity to prove her mettle when a confidential file related to the theft is left on her desk. She follows a lead and discovers the villains and their dangerous plot to create a bomb that freezes time. The rest is chase, and the chase is fun, if not somewhat goofy.
The cast is quite good, and there are standouts. Thursday Farrar gives the musical its strong start with a sultry "Time Will Tell," setting the bar high. And, for the most part, the rest of the cast delivers. Jimmy Ray Bennett plays the top-notch agent, Nick Steele, with enough idiosyncrasies to fill Bellevue. His timing is impeccable and invariably he lands a laugh. Amanda Ryan Paige in the role of Doris, the new assistant, combines wide-eyed innocence with a diabolical desire to sabotage Sympathy's job, and comes up with a fine recipe for comedy. Jane Summerhays tackles evil incarnate as Kitty Hawk and sings a fine duet with Glenn Peters, the mad scientist who is her lover Tick Tock in "If I Didn't Have You." The duet is a clever twist on Cole Porter's classic "You're the Top." In it, Asare uses negative metaphors to further define her characters and then goes on:
What a mess I'd be
How much less I'd be
If I didn't have you.
Charlie Pollock as David, an up-and-coming agent, and Christopher Carl as Pinkerton, head of the agency, sing a strong trio with Bennett in "Get Your Gun." In the titular role, Kate Shindle delivers a credible, fresh-faced receptionist looking for the excitement that is sorely missing from her job. The cast is nicely rounded out with Tony Chiroldes as Henry Oscill, the inventor and ex-husband of evil Kitty Hawk, and Lucy Sorensen who plays Sympathy Jones's supportive friend, Caprice.
Marvelous direction by Sarah Gurfield adds vision to the professionalism. The pace is vigorous and the energy exuberant. With no pause at scene breaks, she has the cast of ten swoop onto the stage disguised as agents in scarves and sunglasses to move furniture and props. The result is a swirl of movement that adds to the vigor. Only one moment jarred, and that was at the very end, when I thought the play was over, but there was one more scene.
Phillip Kirchman, on piano, leads the talented three-piece band that sits on stage. Michael Case and Dan Riggs are on bass and drums, respectively. Credit for easily moveable sets goes to Kerry Chipman; Herrick Goldman designed nuanced lighting, and Mike Floyd created distinctive costumes, notably Sympathy's dress/coat ensemble and Steele's metal pants.

March 22 through 28 is UT's Paper Purge Party, where faculty and staff are invited to purge unwanted paper. Simply put paper in a box, bin, pile, or bag, mark it for "recycling" and set it outside your office door. Volunteers with the Facilities Services department will make the rounds and do the heavy lifting. The Paper Purge Party is part of the RecycleMania Tournament, a competition between colleges and universities to see who can recycle the most.
Baker Center Leads US-EU Summit on Sustainable Economic Growth
Wed, 27 Feb 2013
The United States European Union Summit on Science, Technology, Innovation, and Sustainable Economic Growth—organized in part by UT—has produced five reports examining the critical impacts of investments in science, technology, and innovation on sustainable economic growth.

UT Competes in Recyclemania with Paper Purge
Tue, 19 Feb 2013
For the third year, the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, is challenging the University of Florida Gators to see who can recycle the most. UT won the first year, but not the second. The Vols want a tie-breaker. The duel is part of RecycleMania, in which colleges across the nation and Canada are ranked in an eight-week competition based on the amount of recycling and trash collected each week.
Green Efforts Recognized by EPA
Fri, 08 Feb 2013
UT has been selected as a Top 20 green power using university by the Environmental Protection Agency's Green Power Partnership. The Green Power Partnership is a voluntary program that encourages organizations to use green power as a way to reduce the environmental impacts associated with conventional electricity use. The Partnership's Top 20 College and University list represents the largest green power users among higher education institutions within the Green Power Partnership, and the list is updated quarterly.
UT Gets Top US Building Council Award

UT Recycling is Making Orange Green
Fri, 18 Jan 2013
The spring semester is under way, and with it, a new semester of recycling at UT. The program provides services to all classroom and office buildings on campus, and collects paper, aluminum cans, and plastic, as well as compostable and other materials. Every office desk should have a blue recycling bin for paper, and there should be a blue recycling bin for paper next to every copy machine. If you notice any places where these bins are missing, e-mail UT Recycling at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Lighting Upgrades Under Way in Four Buildings
Fri, 11 Jan 2013

Winter Months Bring Higher Energy Costs, Chances to Save
Mon, 03 Dec 2012
Over the past four years, the campus community has worked together to avoid more than $5 million in energy costs through changing their daily habits as part of our Switch your Thinking effort. The winter months offer a significant opportunity for Volunteers to conserve energy and have a positive impact on the campus's environment—and its wallet.
Help Reduce Energy Use on Campus
Mon, 03 Dec 2012
By altering our daily habits, students, faculty, and staff have prevented the release of 40,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent. This reduction in greenhouse gases is equal to the annual emissions from 9,400 passenger cars, the electricity use of 5,900 homes, or the burning of 260 railcars' worth of coal.
Winter Energy Conservation
Mon, 12 Nov 2012
As the holiday season draws closer, Facilities Services requests your continued support for campus energy conservation efforts. With fewer visitors on campus during holidays and other campus closures, we have a tremendous opportunity to realize additional energy and cost savings.
Campus Energy Conservation Efforts Paying Off
Thu, 11 Oct 2012
Since UT launched its 'Switch Your Thinking' campaign in September 2008, campus electricity use per square foot has decreased by approximately 7 percent. With this improvement, the university has cut more than 68,000 megawatt-hours in electricity usage equaling a cost avoidance of $5.2 million.
Professor Receives Funding for Clean Coal Research
Thu, 21 Jun 2012
About 40 percent of energy in the US is produced by coal. Yet this power leaves behind the largest carbon footprint. A professor in the College of Engineering has received funds from the U.S. Department of Energy to help change that. Professor Peter Liaw and colleagues have received a $300,000 Clean Coal Research Award for Improved Structural Materials.
Help Take a 'Bite' Out of UT's Energy Bill
Wed, 23 May 2012
The 'dog days' of summer are upon us, which means it is peak energy use time on campus. From June 1 through September 30, UT will pay significantly more for energy used on weekdays between the hours of 2:00 and 8:30 p.m. Faculty and staff should make every effort to limit their energy use during the peak times.

Defender Wu Xi's early header gave Shanghai Shenhua a hard-fought 1-0 win over Dalian Shide in the Chinese Super League.
Wu headed Cao Yunding's cross home just ten minutes into the game at Shanghai Hongkou Stadium. And while both sides created several scoring chances in the remaining 80 minutes, neither could find another breakthrough.
After a quiet start, Cao delivered a long cross to Wu who evaded the offside trap to head past onrushing goalkeeper Sun Shoubo. Shanghai went close to a second goal seven minutes later when Wu's fellow Chinese international Feng Renliang outpaced two defenders before curling a shot which Sun kept out with a reflex save.
Feng created another chance just a minute before the half-time break, when his 30-yard effort flicked off the crossbar.
Dalian were the better side in the second period, forcing Shanghai to defend desperately. Bulgarian forward Martin Kamburov squandered a golden opportunity 13 minutes before the final whistle, clipping a 30-yard free-kick against the post.
The result put Shanghai on 33 points in 11th place, while Dalian are two points and two places behind them, with the once-mighty pair having only just staved off the threat of relegation.
With 28 rounds of matches played, and two remaining, Shanghai and Dalian have been saved by the poor form of the teams beneath them. Shenzhen Kingway and Chengdu Blades are both on 23 points, five points adrift of 14th-placed Nanchang Bayi.
Nanchang clinch vital points
Nanchang clinched a much-needed three points at Shaanxi Province Stadium today, beating Shaanxi Baorong 3-1.
Youngster Yang Chen fired the visitors ahead after 11 minutes, before Zhang Chenglin responded in the 25th minute with a header. Brazilian Johnny Meg do Nascimento Osorio restored Nanchang's lead four minutes into the second half before Lang Zheng scored an insurance goal 18 minutes before the end of the game.
"It's safe to say that we are in the better position to avoid relegation," said Nanchang manager Zhu Jiong. "I told my players to go all out for another victory so that we don't have to face a do-or-die situation in the last round."

About the report
The Implementation Working Group
The National Television and Computer Product Stewardship Scheme Implementation Working Group was established to provide a high-level, strategic forum to guide the development of a national recycling scheme for televisions, computers, printers and computer products.
During its 11 meetings, between March 2010 and October 2011, the Implementation Working Group undertook the considerable task of providing guidance, feedback and input into the development and implementation of the National Television and Computer Recycling Scheme. This achievement report is the final document produced for the Implementation Working Group.
Key Achievements
- The development of a comprehensive set of key performance indicators (KPIs) and a draft geographic roll-out plan for the Scheme, informing the development of the Product Stewardship (Televisions and Computers) Regulations 2011.
- Input to the development of targets, conversion factors, governance and reporting requirements under the Scheme.
- A successful proposal to Standards Australia for development of a joint Australian and New Zealand Standard for the collection, storage, transport and treatment of used electrical and electronic equipment.
- Input into the development of an interim industry recycling and collection standard for televisions, computers and computer peripherals.

45 new homes for our village is just 'a joke' (From Worcester News)

45 new homes for our village is just 'a joke'
8:20pm Wednesday 12th September 2012 in News By Tom Edwards
ANGRY residents in Powick are protesting over what they call "outrageous" proposals for 45 new homes.
A residents group called Protest Powick Greenfield (PPG) is up in arms over suggestions the land off Hospital Lane could be developed.
Residents say Powick's growth has outstripped any similar-sized village in Worcestershire over the last 15 years, and that "enough is enough".
Developers Bovis Homes wants to build 45 new properties on the site, with 18 of them affordable homes.
A planning application is expected to be submitted to Malvern Hills District Council imminently, and a consultation event was held last week so the company could get opinion.
Cathryn Throup, of PPG, said: "There is no evidence Powick needs or should be expected to take more housing.
"Development of the proposed site would destroy forever one of the best gateway views of the Malvern Hills."
The group also said it was "incensed" by the South Worcestershire Development Plan (SWDP), a blueprint which earmarks land for 23,000 new homes by 2030.
The PPG has labelled the consultation "a joke" by saying more time was needed for people to get involved, and that it was encouraging speculative planning applications.
In the SWDP Powick is expected to grow by 43 properties, with land on two different sites earmarked for development.
Bovis Homes wants to build 45 properties on just one site, with critics saying the firm is trying to get in quickly before the SWDP is formally agreed next year.
District councillor Tom Wells said: "In the last 15 years we've seen 220 homes go up around the old hospital site, and around 30 other dwellings constructed elsewhere in the village.
"Whilst growing at a rate far beyond other villages, we've lost our post office, butchers and convenience store."
Councillor Marc Bayliss, who chairs a panel which developed the SWDP, said: "The latest consultation was six weeks, we've also ran a range of public events, and residents are still able to write in or e-mail to have their say."
A spokesman for Green Planning Solutions, on behalf of Bovis Homes, said: "We are at the initial stages with this and are still going through the feedback.
"We are still welcoming comments."

No one seems to want it, yet the Tories carry on anyway.
Can these people at least have the decency and honesty to explain the 'need'?
And can we have a genuine vote on it, not this farce of a 'consultation', which always seems to result in planning officers colluding with builders to inflict unwanted housing on the unwilling public?
10:36am Mon 17 Sep 12
Once again it seems developers are allowed a foot in the door by spouting nonsense about desperate need for housing when many of the new developments already in existence remain half empty, or building is slowed due to lack of demand.
The amount of people in the area isn't increasing at the rate housing is increasing? So where are these desperate people hiding? And where are the business parks which will provide employment for these desperate people?
I'm sorry, but it really does stink of a cynical way of boosting the building trade, lining developers pockets, and providing false 'growth' figures in a fairly stagnant economy, whilst continuing to erode the green space Malvern is rightly famed for.
Good luck with your fight, residents of Powick!

New Historical KY smartphone app
A new smart-phone app offered by the Kentucky Historical Society allows tourists access to the history behind roadside markers. The aim is the weave a historical story. Sally Warfield, who's a Digital Media Specialist with the Kentucky Historical Society, says the new app connects communities by demonstrating their shared history.
"You can connect that story then to a larger story in the Commonwealth, because all of a sudden that historical marker is a pin that's on the state of Kentucky on this map. And you can click on that and you can click on one a couple of counties over," said Warfield.
The Kentucky Historical Society hopes to connect communities further with participation from local historical societies and Kentucky citizens.
"You can go through the Civil War, the War of 1812. We're going to start working locally with different counties and cities to create localized tours of their historical intent. So you can start getting really great ideas of a story of place," added Warfield.
The Explore KY History app is available through both Google Play and iTunes.

ROCKY BOY Rocky Boy's Census 2000 kickoff luncheon Monday set the tone for what tribal leaders hope is a "good and accurate" count of reservation residents.
The luncheon was served at the Rocky Boy Senior Center, with the seniors being served first at 11 a.m. Representatives of many tribal agencies and institutions, including Chippewa Cree Business Committee Chairman Bert Corcoran, were on hand.
"I felt that we had a good success today with the feed and the posters and the other documentation," Rocky Boy census liaison Morris St. Pierre said.
One of the posters being used throughout Indian Country to encourage participation in Census 2000 is particularly significant at Rocky Boy, St. Pierre said. The poster shows Chippewa Cree Tribal Elder Angeline Sutherland, 90, holding a portrait of Cree leader and Rocky Boy co-founder Little Bear.
This is the first time that reservation residents will conduct census counts on Montana's seven reservations. St. Pierre said that difficulties that led to short-term ban of census takers on the Blackfeet Reservation have been ironed out. St. Pierre said that he met with a U.S. census official from Colorado to avoid the problems that arose in Browning.
Though Monday was the census' first official day on Rocky Boy's Indian Reservation, the actual door-to-door campaign is still a ways off. The purpose of the luncheon was to get people behind the census and to encourage everyone on the reservation to cooperate in providing accurate information.
The 1990 census reportedly came up about 12 percent short in Indian country, and tribal leaders don't want the reservation population to be under counted again.
"It affected our funding on housing on the new formula, the old census," Tribal Councilman Bruce Sunchild said. "We were able to successfully challenge that census to get a few extra dollars."
Nine tribal census workers seated diners and walked among the tables answering questions about the census and handing out Census 2000 keepsakes.
Corcoran also addressed the audience, explaining many of the reasons that an accurate census is necessary to the Tribe.
"Number one, we need to be accurate in the numbers," Corcoran said in an interview after the luncheon. "Number two, we need to be accurate in the income."
Corcoran explained that the last census showed the average annual income on the reservation, whose seasonal unemployment rate fluctuates between 50 and 90 percent, was $18,000. To Corcoran, that suggested that the only people answering questions in that census were those who had jobs.
"And then I told (diners) about the state voter redistricting," Corcoran said. "The numbers will go toward voter districts which will be up for scrutiny this year. Those numbers are very important."
Corcoran added that accuracy in the number of residents is very important to the Tribe because of the distribution of state and federal monies.
Eric Beyer, clinical director for Rocky Boy Health Board, said an accurate count is important for the delivery of health care to reservation residents, too.
"A lot of the health care dollars depend on population," Beyer said. "The more numbers we have, the more money we get for health care."
Judy Houle, senior center and senior programs director at Rocky Boy, said she hopes the Tribe's seniors get behind the census.
"We're hoping that the seniors will encourage all family members to participate," Houle said. "Our funding for the elderly programs and energy assistance really depends on a good and accurate census count."
Pam Stiffarm of Stone Child College echoed the others' sentiments.
"It'll mean more accurate numbers from our federal funding grant application and more money to get more people educated at Rocky Boy," she said.
Stiffarm added that an accurate census will enable the school to offer more services and encourage more students to get a good education.
Tribal Secretary Janice Meyers said she is encouraged by the efforts of the census team.
"It's the only way we get anywhere," Meyers said. "Last time, we were under counted. Hopefully, this time we'll get it right."
Betty Henderson, programs coordinator for the Health Board, said the census is important because it can provide more money for the tribal budget. But she also said that it can be important for all Montanans, too.
"Maybe we can get more congressional seats."

Bottega Veneta Intrecciato Multicolor Tote
When the name Bottega Veneta comes to mind, I think timeless, classic, and weaved leather. Any ideas why Picnic Blanket was the first thought that popped into my head when I ran into this piece? It's called the Intrecciato multicolor tote and I don't know about you ladies, but I'm definitely not feeling this piece. There's just something about this plaid pattern that brings tablecloths to mind. I think a pattern like this should stay in the diner, not on your handbag. Let's ignore the hues for a moment and admire the amazing craftsmanship of interwoven leather. As always, Bottega Veneta never fails to present a beautiful weaved piece. I adore the classic satchel shape that's present and a full side-to-side zipper allows wide access to the interior of this bag, which is a plus in my book. I would like to note that the hues used on this bag are actually orange and cream, so that's one small step away from an actual tacky tablecloth. What do you ladies think about this multicolore piece, and most importantly, would you wear this? You can find this bag carrying a steep price tag of $2,350 over at: NET-A-PORTER.COM

Yes, just as Aristotle revolutionized our understanding of philosophy, and Einstein revolutionized our understanding of science, I am about to revolutionize our understanding of the arts.
You probably always will remember where you happened to be, and what you were doing, when you first heard my mind-blowing, history-altering new theory of the arts, which can be summarized in three short words:
Use more sense.
I mean it literally. For all the ages of mankind on this planet, we have been settling for art that appeals to only two of our five senses.
This is idiotic. It's like playing the piano with two fingers. Yes, it can be done, but the piano is capable of so much more.
And our senses are capable of so much more. It's a shame our art is so limited, and that we have tolerated its limitations for so long.
Think about it. We listen to music, which means we use our sense of hearing. We look at books and paintings and sculpture, which means we use our sense of sight. When we watch a movie or a play, we look and listen at the same time. Eyes and ears again.
That's it. Eyes and ears.
There is no art for our other senses. Nothing for our noses, our fingers, our tongues.
I propose that we fix this terrible shortcoming, and create whole new constellations of art that will engage, provoke, inspire
Imagine, for example, visiting a gallery where it is your tastebuds that are stimulated, instead of your eyes. You might "take" your art in the form of a wafer, or tablet, or drops of elixir on your tongue.
It wouldn't be like a restaurant, where you are given commodious substances to appease your physical hunger. The idea here would be to feed your soul.
An artist like Christo, who constructs giant installations of draped gates or clustered parasols, might instead erect something edible, like a huge labyrinth of fresh salad greens or a majestic range of mashed-potato mountains. Art lovers would congregate not only to look, but to nibble.
Maybe our best sculptors could experiment with grand monuments formed of marshmallow or taffy. Or at least partly so. It certainly would give us something to chew on.
Who knows? Perhaps the Venus de Milo once had a chocolate arm. It certainly would clear up the mystery of her missing appendage. Also, it would secure for the unknown sculptor a new place in history, as a true genius, a visionary, an artist ahead of his time.
Let us also create a new art that stimulates our sense of touch. Presently, too much of our art is expressly withheld from this important sense. Our museums and galleries are filled with signs that say, "Do Not Touch."
In our new museums and galleries, touching not only will be permitted, it will be the whole idea. Art patrons will caress various objects, with cunning surfaces, crafted specifically to arouse digital sensations.
And remember, we touch with more than our hands. We touch with our toes, our knees, our elbows, our eyelashes. Our bodies are covered from top to bottom with sensory receptors, so let us design facilities where our entire bodies can receive the blessings of art, and let us build these facilities throughout the land. I mean, in addition to Nevada.
Let us not forget our noble noses, and the glorious sense of smell. Imagine visiting a gallery where we savor various gases and ethers designed to stir our olfactory passions.
You know what I am smelling right now? The sweet smell of success.
Yes, now that I have completely reinvented the arts, for the benefit of all mankind forever, fortune is sure to smile upon me.
I probably will receive the next Nobel prize in some category or another. Maybe they should give me all the Nobel prizes. All the other prizes, too.
And it will come as no surprise if I become very famous, and exceedingly rich.
Frankly, it will be a surprise if it doesn't happen.
In fact, it will stink.

These shoes are great and the style is cool! The only thing to be aware of is that Heelys run a little small in size, so I ordered one size larger for my son and they fit perfectly.

My son started out not so good and in 2 days he was a pro. He has fallen in love and by the way he got shocked when I told him how much money I had to pay but he loves them and he quotes they are the best thing in the world. I highly recommend these shoes if you have a very athletic and energetic, these are the best shoes in the world for children and I even wiggled myself into a pair of these in a men's size. Highly recommend.

It's either:
- Worrisome
- A reverse substitution effect
I'm interested to see which it is.
The Federal Balance Sheet
In Tyler on January 14, 2013 at 1:00 pmMy modest suggestion is that we start calculating the public sector's "book value" by taking the difference between its actual assets and liabilities. (Since governments have the power to tax their productive citizens, the asset side of the public sector's balance sheet should be thought of as a share of the country's total asset holdings.) This approach would probably be more useful than the simple public debt to national income ratio, even if it comes with its own (significant) complications.
He goes on to note:
Under this framework, all government spending could be divided into three basic categories: investment to increase the future standard of living, hedging that reduces the nation's risk exposure, and resource redistribution.
The post is fairly long and definitely worth reading.
So a lot has happened lately
In Tyler on January 14, 2013 at 8:00 amAs you can probably tell life has pulled this blogs writers in many directions as of late. Hopefully things will settle down enough for us to resume our typical schedule in 2013, but if not we will at least work to keep up occasional posting.

In Tyler on December 11, 2012 at 11:00 amStanley Fish writes about higher education:
The tension between a market model and a Socratic model was nicely captured by two statements Spar made in succession. The first warmed my heart: "We want to teach students things they don't want to know." That is, rather than regarding students as consumers (all the rage these days in places like England and Texas), we should regard them as yet-to-be-formed intellects who are often best served by saying no to their desires — as we have traditionally. But then Spar immediately added, "Yet, we can't be too removed from the marketplace."
Social Science Highlights – Tyler's AM Reads – December 11, 2012
In Tyler on December 11, 2012 at 8:00 amA quick note on spending and growth
In Tyler on December 10, 2012 at 11:00 amThe graph below has been making its rounds (see this post by Tyler Cowen for several links). Upon first glance it appears to refute any sort of fiscal approach to restoring GDP. The red (GDP) line is table although the blue (government spending) line decreases. However the key here is noting that this graph actually shows continued growth in GDP once government spending has hit a relatively stable level. It becomes much more clear in the graph below that I put together (note red now represents government spending and blue represent GDP).
Obviously this leaves out many other factors that I would consider relevant to the NGDP recovery (tax stimulus, low interest rates, right-sized asset prices, low steady inflation, etc.), but it at least gives an accurate depiction of the spending-growth pattern that emerged after the recession.

Style Star: Jennifer Aniston
First Published: March 16, 2010 12:51 PM EDT Credit: Getty Images
LOS ANGELES, Calif. -- Jennifer Aniston can effortlessly switch between casual and chic, looking amazing while lounging by the pool in a string bikini, or dazzling in haute couture on the red carpet. Jen turned heads yet again this weekend at "The Bounty Hunter" London red carpet premiere where she showed off miles of her toned legs in a silver Valentino Couture mini with Jimmy Choo "Lance" sandals, winning her the honor of Access' newest Style Star.
In the cool London weather, Jen covered the metallic strapless dress with a form-fitting black blazer, and accessorized with starburst diamond earrings that were hidden by her stylish haircut of layered straight blonde locks.
When Jen transforms from her casual beach look to high fashion threads, she is often a Valentino girl.
This silver strapless is reminiscent to the long-sleeved silver Valentine Couture mini that Jen wore on the red carpet last September for the premiere of the romantic comedy "Love Happens" with Aaron Eckhart, for which she earned rave reviews. And who can forget the stunning silver Valentino gown that Jen wore to the 2009 Oscars alongside date John Mayer, where she came face-to-face with ex-husband, Brad Pitt?
And, of course, for years, Jen was known for her iconic "Rachel" haircut during her run on "Friends." In an Access AH Nation poll, our readers voted "The Rachel" the 2nd most popular hairdo of all time (after Farrah Fawcett's "The Flip").
Jen, who just celebrated her 41st birthday in February, continues to prove that age is just a number.
Access Hollywood's Billy Bush, who exclusively interviewed Jen at her birthday extravaganza in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, asked how she felt turning 41. Jen joked that they don't say the number out loud so Billy playfully asked how turning 31 felt.
"Thirty-one, pssh. It's quite lovely I have to say," Jen teased. "30 was a hump but you know 31 is fabulous. It really does get better doesn't it?"
When the topic turned to fellow birthday weekend guest Gerard Butler, who stars with Jen in the action comedy "The Bounty Hunter," Jen said that they had a great time working together.
"We just had so much fun together you know. He's just fun. Gerry's the most unpretentious guy," Jen explained. "He's a guys guy, but he's absolutely the most lovely and sort of self-deprecating and just what you see is what you get. We look at work the same way… we always had each other's back."

La Paradeta - when the market stall became a restaurant
A few weeks ago the Catalonia-based members of food website El Cuerpo De Cristo decided to get together for the first time. After short-listing a few spots, we decided on La Paradeta, a "self-service Marisqueria" behind the old Born market.
The charm of this place is twofold. On one side, the freshness of the product (they have frozen crayfish and shrimp though) keeps on bringing people back. But more importantly, the place works like a market stall ("la paradeta" means "the little stall" in catalan). You go in, there's a huge stall-like display with all the fresh fish and seafood, you tell the waitress what you want, and how you want it cooked.
She then weighs the food, gives you a number and you pay and sit at your table. Once the food is ready, they call your table number and you have to go pick the stuff up from the kitchen pass.
There were three of us; Joaquim, Oriol, who writes the great blog Bueno Para Comer, and me, and we ordered quite a bit of food.
First were the oysters, then the fried seafood and then the grilled stuff. I won't bore you with details, but rather give you these pictures!

This is the first little piece I did to get back into blue, and mainly features Fossil a simple automation-controlled foscili synth. With Fossil I was trying to create a synth that could do something similar to the early FM pieces by fellow Canadian Barry Truax. Well, the song is not much like his pieces, but the idea of the continuous control automation style synth is something I did want to try.
I will pop up a copy of Fossil on blueshare.

WTF. No, seriously. WTF.
Here's some news that will simultaneously tickle your schadenfreude bone and make you weep for humanity.
Warning: it's mostly going to be the "weep for humanity" thing:
Martha Boggs, owner of the Bistro at the Bijou, says she ordered state Sen. Stacey Campfield out of her Gay Street restaurant and banned him from brunch Sunday in disgust over his recent remarks about gays and the origin of the AIDS virus. [You really must read this news article in order to wrap your mind around the sheer bigotry and stupidity that Senator Campfield promotes. -ed.]
"When I saw him at the front door, I told him to leave," Boggs said Monday. "It's just my way to show support for the gay community and stand up to somebody I think is a bully. He's really gone from being stupid to dangerous. I think he needs to know what it feels like to be discriminated against."
Campfield responded with a blog post comparing himself to Jesus Christ and to the civil-rights demonstrators of the 1960s.
Campfield's blog post illustrates the sheer magnitude of bigoted fuckery we're dealing with when it comes to these right-wing nutbags. I'm reposting Campfield's nonsense in full because — because — well — just read it:
As you may have read I was asked to leave a restaurant in Knoxville because my beliefs did not support the owners beliefs on homosexuality. I had not said anything. I was just standing there waiting for a table when the owner came up and started yelling at me calling me names and telling me they were not going to serve me because of my alleged beliefs saying I hate gays. I said in as calm a way as I could that I don't hate gays and the things I have said were backed up by the CDC. I offered to send her the links.
I have been quite open and clear on my beliefs and have backed them up with facts from the CDC and others. Unfortunately some people do not let facts get in the way of their prejudice.
She looked confused on what to do for a second then she started to yell and call me names again so I figured it was better to just leave. As Jesus said, "If you are not welcomed in a town shake the dust off your feet and move on". My friends and I went to latitude 35 and had a good breakfast.
The cries of "Ha ha. we showed him!" fall flat to me. It is not I who lost out. My friends and I still had a good meal. We just gave our money to a more gracious host.
What was showed was a lack of professionalism. In my legislative role I have always had an open door to any of my constituency. Gay rights groups have been in my office several times and I would like to think that even though we may disagree on some issues I have always treated them graciously.
In my private business (Property rental) I have rented to people of all races and creeds. Black, white, Asians, gay, straight, christian and non christian alike. I do not discriminate. I wonder how the owner of the restaurant would act toward another restaurant if the shoe were on the other foot and the business refused service to a gay person? I know I would not eat there.
In the 60′s my grandfather sat at the lunch counters with the blacks in Knoxville to help break up the segregation of the races. I guess some people still support segregation. Just segregation of thought. Some people have told me my civil rights were violated under the 1964 civil rights act in that a person can not be denied service based on their religious beliefs. (I am catholic and the catholic church does not support the act of homosexuality) I had not thought about that much.
I just figured this is just another example of the open minded tolerant left. They claim tolerances for divergent points of view…..Until someone actually has one. Then they don't know how to handle it.***
Holy shit. Right?
He compares himself to Jesus and then plays the "some of my best friends are [insert marginalized group]" and names nearly every marginalized group in the book. Then he claims that he doesn't discriminate (never mind that he thinks AIDS began because some dude screwed a monkey, and never mind that he thinks you can't really get AIDS unless you're gay or having sex with a person from Africa — seriously). Then he righteously says he wouldn't eat at a restaurant that refused service to a gay person (never mind that he is sponsoring the "Don't Say Gay" bill. Emily Hauser wrote about that here.) And finally, his coup-de-WTF is to claim that his civil rights were violated. His civil rights!? Seriously!?
Who the fuck is this guy and what the fuck is wrong with him?!
I just — I can't even –
(h/t Towleroad)
***Google it. I'm not sending him traffic.
RELATED POST: The "Don't say gay" bill. No. Really.

I did velasmooth 11 sessions, I now have 2 large scars on my stomach from being burned and nothing changed as far as cellulite reduction.
The office manager told me that fat and cellulite are hereditary and not even their machines can get rid of it if it's in your genes. So I paid 2000 dollars for some ugly scars on my stomach and not another thing!!!
The technicians that were doing my treatments told me that none of their clients were seeing results and they didn't know why. Save your money!!
Great review?

UAN: Tell us about your Lil' Naturelle
Sots is her nickname. She's 5 years old and she's in kindergarten. I think her hair type is a mix of 4a and 3c, but don't hold me to it because I'm not sure. I believe she is a combination. Her hair is like a sandy brown, so it always looks dry, and it sucks the life out of oil! (UAN – the color sounds GORGEOUS!!!!)
UAN: What's your Lil' Naturelle's hair care routine
I use a clarifying shampoo by Kinky Curl, or Carol's Daughter, but I try to co-wash most of the time.
UAN: Do you have an actual hair day—what's that like?
I only have an actual hair day if I have to do her hair for a certain occasion. I would like to start designating days like a routine. In some months her hair might need to be washed more often; I just try to find moderation. I do her hair when it needs to be done. I can tell, just by looking at it, when it needs to get done. Styles don't last long because her hair gets frizzy fast and I am still learning how to use styling products. (UAN – sad to say, you're not the only one, Baby Naturelle's hair doesn't stay in one style longer than a day)
UAN: Favorite hair products if any
Coconut oil, shea moisture mist, olive oil, shea moisture curling creme, yes to carrots pampering conditioner, Aveda, Rosemary mint shampoo and conditioner, as well as their smooth infusion conditioner, knot today leave in, bee mine hair growth serum, Giovanni smooth as silk deeper moisture conditioner, Shea Moisture Moisture retention shampoo, shea moisture restorative conditioner, Zuresh natural curl
definer and moisture shampoo, Aubrey Organics white camellia ultra-smoothing conditioner, natural & organic styling gel extra conditioning formula African formula. (UAN – wow, that's a mouth full! Glad to know I'm not the only product junkie around here!)
definer and moisture shampoo, Aubrey Organics white camellia ultra-smoothing conditioner, natural & organic styling gel extra conditioning formula African formula. (UAN – wow, that's a mouth full! Glad to know I'm not the only product junkie around here!)
UAN: What if your daughter says "I want to relax my hair."? What would you say?
I would ask why? I would give my opinion but ultimately, we all have to live our own life. I can direct her to the path but she has to walk it, and whatever she chooses it's what will inspire her to become the women she is meant to be. I just would hope that it's never because of lack of self-love because then I would have failed her on what I was supposed to have instilled in her.
UAN: What are your favorite styles?
I don't really have a favorite style because I am not really a styler. I am learning as I go. I have come a long way but I see where I can get better. I favor styles that tend to bring some of her hair to her face whether it is a couple of twists or braids to the side of her face. I want to get better so she learns how to rock her hair and make her own identity wearing her natural hair and never waver on her self- confidence when it comes to how she views her natural hair in society. She challenges me, but I notice that I do some of my best work when she has to go somewhere, or take pictures. Her hair inspires my hair and I wish I had someone to do my hair like I do hers. Lol (UAN – well said, I would love someone to do my hair too.)
UAN: Do you have any hair tips for parents struggling to manage their child's hair?
Just watch the response of your child's hair with each product used and don't be afraid to try things a second, third or fourth time. I believe every question will be answered with staying consistent and watching and learning what works and doesn't for your child's hair. Make de-tangling as stress-free as possible it just becomes aggravating for you and your child then styling the hair and the mood becomes a disaster. (UAN – so true, I have found that keeping a good spirit during the detangling process definitely helps with the styling process!)
Questions for the Lil Naturelle:
UAN: What are your favorite hair styles?
Ponytails and twists styles!
UAN: What do you like most about you hair?
I like that it's long and like a plant, and I like when my mom brush my hair.
UAN: What's your favorite part of getting your hair done?
Seeing how it looks after (UAN – such a smart girl!)
UAN: What makes you feel beautiful?
Bows!! (UAN – a girl after my own heart…I love hair accessories too!)

Keeping Track of Your Health
A personal health record is a collection of your health information. The term personal health record may also be abbreviated as PHR. A personal health record can contain details about past medical illnesses and surgeries. It may also include a list of current medications and conditions, allergies, and vaccinations. In essence, you may add any pertinent health related information to your personal health record (myPHR, 2009; MedlinePlus, 2010).
There are many important reasons for keeping track of your health. This may potentially save you money and time. It may save you money by not having to repeat routine laboratory tests. Moreover, you are not wasting your valuable time to repeat an unnecessary exam. Most importantly, you will have a more flexible access to your health history (myPHR, 2009). In addition, your personal record may provide a new health provider with an overview of your medical background.
There are a few ways to keep track of your health information. A very simple method is to write down on a sheet of paper a list of you medical conditions, surgeries, allergies, and current medications. If you have an allergy make sure to note what is the allergic reaction. Additionally, you can also keep any other information related to your health in a personal file. Some people keep a list of medications in their wallet. Another way to keep track of your health is to create a Google Health record on the internet. Check out the video below about Google Health.
