It all happened one Thanksgiving weekend back in the 1980s after Richard Wood watched Miracle on 34th Street (as is his family's Thanksgiving tradition). The South Burlington native latched on to what Alfred said in the movie: "Of all the 'isms' the worst of them is commercialism!"
On a lark, with the intention of taking on the "black" in Black Friday, Wood put on a Santa hat and headed out to the local shopping centers.

Dental schools require a minimum of two years of college work before the student is eligible for admission. However, dental schools rarely accept students who have only two or three years of college work, so pre-dental students should plan to complete a baccalaureate degree before leaving Eastern.
To be a competitive applicant, students must maintain a high grade point average, score well on the Dental Admission Test (DAT), and acquire some experience in the field. Students apply through a centralized application service (AADSAS) in the fall preceding their entrance year. Be aware of application deadlines and make sure you meet them!

- What makes your small kitchen so cool:
- When my long-distance boyfriend and I moved in together, it was really important to me that our apartment feel like a home and reflect both our tastes. We chose a bright avocado (the color is actually "Sassy Green") for the kitchen walls. The calendar my boyfriend made, a vintage Fellini poster we found in Italy last summer, hand-me-down cookware from our families, and magnets made from personal ads I cut out of indie newspapers are all little artifacts from our lives that make the kitchen feel like home for us.
- Describe a challenge you've overcome or a smart resource you've found for your kitchen.:
- The over-cabinet baskets, wall-mounted spice rack, ledge above the stove, and repurposed bathroom etagere maximize vertical storage space. We "ikea-hacked" our knife rack by gluing two magnetic knife racks together to mount on the fridge to minimize counter clutter. To free up limited counter space and prevent spill damage, I put my iPad or cookbook on a removable cabinet mounted shelf when I'm cooking.
- What's your favorite meal to cook here?:
- I love to bake because it makes the whole apartment smell delicious. And I love using herbs from my window box garden. I tried a savory basil cookie recipe recently that combined the best of both worlds.

Designer Spotlight: The Eclectic Style of Sheila Bridges
Named "America's Best Interior Designer" by CNN and Time Magazine, the Ivy League-educated, Harlem-based designer Sheila Bridges has made quite a name for herself. And deservedly so. Bridges has designed spaces for countless high-profile figures, including the Harlem offices of former President Bill Clinton.
Sheila Bridges' work is unquestionably high-end but not ostentatious or fussy. And while her aesthetic could be described as "traditional" it is never staid, predictable, or conservative. Rather, Bridges artfully mixes old and new, elegance and comfort. And, as you see in these images, Bridges is not afraid of making bold statements with color, especially robust shades of blue and green. The rooms she decorates have a refined tone but are also very personal and original, full of artwork, unique accessories, and sumptuous textiles.
Bridges describe her eclectic style in the Washington Post:
"I would say that it is pretty classically driven but with many twists and turns that are a lot more modern. I'm a bit all over the map when it comes to my love of furniture — I am equally attracted to that cowhide Eames chair as I am to that neoclassical English sideboard."
Making Her Mark:
Screen: Bridges hosted four seasons of Sheila Bridges Designer Living on the FINE LIVING Network and continues to pop up on countless TV shows.
Print: Rooms designed by Bridges have appeared in pretty much any design magazine you can think of. She graces "top designer" lists and "designer spotlight" features in mags like House Beautiful and Elle Decor. Bridges is also the author of Furnishing Forward: A Practical Guide to Furnishing for a Lifetime.
Product: In 2007, Bridges launched her own line of furniture and home furnishings, Sheila Bridges Home, Inc. Her renowned Harlem Toile De Jouy wallpaper is a clever reinterpretation of the classic toile design. According to Sheila, the pattern "tells a rich yet satirical story about African American life through the often distorted lens of the media. I designed it to remind people of many of the stereotypes that have historically been and continue to be associated with African Americans living in rural parts of the country as well as urban areas like Harlem. " Also, while perusing the Tastemaker Tag Sales on One King's Lane this week I stumbled across Sheila's inspiring selections.

After the outbreak of the First World War in August 1914, it was quickly realised that the relatively small size of Britain's regular Army would not be enough to fight a long European War. Even after being reinforced by the Territorial Army, the British Expeditionary Force that left for France in 1914 was woefully small compared to the huge French and German Armies. The Secretary of State for War, Field Marshal Lord Kitchener, was under no illusions that the war would be long and bloody. His famous 'your country needs you' appeal inspired hundreds of thousands of men to volunteer to fight.
One of the most unique and tragic features of the Great War had its genesis in this recruitment drive. Kitchener promised that men who joined up together would be allowed to fight together, in the same Battalions. This ruling led to many 'Pals' Battalions, that were either distinctly in nature, or indeed some which were recruited from whole factories, professions or other social groups. Many towns and cities sponsored their own Battalions, recruited from the local young men. This book by Paul McCue focuses on the Pals Battalions raised by two London Boroughs – Wandsworth and Battersea.
Wandsworth's Pals Battalion became part of the East Surrey Regiment, and was officially titled the 13th (Service) Battalion East Surrey Regiment (Wandsworth). Battersea's Pals came under the Queens (Royal West Surrey) Regiment. Their proper title was the 10th (Service) Battalion Queens (Royal West Kent) Regiment (Battersea). After the decimation of the original British Expeditionary Force at the battles of Mons, Le Cateau, the Marne and First Ypres, the demmands of war on the Western Front increasingly fell upon Kitchener's 'New Armies', particularly the Pals Battalions. After a long period of training, most of them reached the front by early 1916, in time for Haig's planned 'big push' on the Somme.
Both the Wandsworth and Battersea Battalions were mercifully spared the bloodshed on 1 July 1916 on the first day of the Somme, but both went on to see active service in the Somme and Ypres sectors, as well as other parts of the front. The Wandsworth Pals fought in several particularly tough battles at Villers-Plouich and Bourlon Wood, and then through the 'Kaiser Offensive' in 1918, when most of the Battalion were captured. After this the Battalion was disbanded. The Battersea Pals fought at Devil's Wood, and in early 1918 were sent to reinforce the Italian Front, returning to Flanders in time for the armistice. The Battalion served in the occupation of Germany, before disbanding.
Paul McCue starts each section with a detailed history of each area in question. This is important, but I would probably give a very bried overview of the early history, with more emphasis on the early twentieth century context of the borough. We then progress onto an interesting history of how each Battalion was formed – in both cases, by the Mayor and Council. There are interesting tales of how the Councils insisted on the Battalion's being officered completely by local men, and of interesting recruitment drives and fundraising efforts to kit out the units. There are plenty of stories about individual men, particularly Corporal Edward 'Tiny' Foster, who won the Victoria Cross. At the end of the book McCue has included a full Roll of Honour for both Battalions, listed by Cemetery and Memorial. This is an excellent resource for researchers.
The 'Pals' idea proved to be a dismal failure. If a Pals unit had a particulary tough battle, a whole towns menfolk could be lost in one fell swoop, and the impact on morale, both at home and on active service, was substantial. Whereas if men were dispersed around other units, losses would be more spread out. During the Second World War the Army did not make the same mistake, and dispersed men around Regiments much more.
I applaud Pen and Sword for their Pals series. The Pals units are a uniquely local story – perhaps the most striking example in military history of towns and cities having a shared military heritage, forged through enlistment, training, battle and then losses and casualties. Producing histories of each of the Pals Battalions around the country provides not only something of local importance, but also a rich tapestry of the experience of war for ordinary local men and its impact on communities. It's seriously got me thinking about the Portsmouth Pals, and what little we know about them.

"I used to think it wasn't all about the horses," a member of the Shadow Hills Property Owners Assn. told all four candidates for the Los Angeles City Council's 7th District. The statement drew some quizzical looks from the several dozen other members of the group, gathered for a Jan. 22 City Council candidate forum. Not all about the horses? And then he added:
"But it is. I admit it."
That's more like it.
VIDEO: Interviews with L.A.'s mayoral candidates
Shadow Hills is part of the city of Los Angeles, as much as that fact may irk the residents there, and it is part of the 7th District in the Northeast San Fernando Valley, which on March 5 will elect a new member to succeed Richard Alarcon. This little piece of L.A., between Hansen Dam and the wild sage scrub of the Verdugo Hills, bordered roughly by Wentworth Street, Sunland Boulevard and Stonehurst Avenue, is also horse country, and has been officially since 1962, when laws were adopted to change land formerly zoned for agricultural use into the city's first horse-keeping district.
The minimum lot size was shrunk from the 40,000 square feet used by commercial flower growers and so-called hobby farmers, but only to 20,000 square feet (according to former Shadow Hills resident Laura R. Barraclough's "Making the San Fernando Valley"), not to the much smaller lots that subdividers were staking out elsewhere in the Valley for suburban homes. Health codes were amended to allow residents to keep horses as close as 35 feet from residences, not the 75 feet still required in the disappearing agricultural zones. Los Angeles is urban and suburban, and those two identities are in constant tension. But as Shadow Hills residents continue to insist today, their community is something else. It's country. In the city.

Braves place Venters on DL
Atlanta, GA – The Atlanta Braves placed pitcher Jonny Venters on the 15-day disabled list and purchased the contract of catcher Evan Gattis.
Venters, who is dealing with a left elbow sprain, went 5-4 with a 3.22 ERA in 66 relief appearances last season. The move is retroactive to March 27.
Gattis, who hit six homers this spring, will share time with Gerald Laird behind the plate as the Braves await the return of Brian McCann, who is recovering from shoulder surgery.
The Braves open their 2013 campaign at home on Monday against the Philadelphia Phillies.

The fence at Mercer Park. The Tile Project is a joint effort among 100 artists from 40 countries. The Mercer Park fence is one of 22 installations around the world.
A mending fence: Pieces of art for world peace
By Aileen Torres
The row of tiles adorning a section of the fence around Mercer Park on Mercer St. between Bleecker and W. Third Sts. blends in well with the black metal onto which it is bolted. The vibrant array of colors likely catches the attention of passerby, and there is something distinctly New York about the display. One tile depicts the entrance to a subway station. Another depicts a woman running to catch a train.
And yet, there are images that are clearly not related to the city; abstract pieces without a clear connection to urban life. Look closer, and the theme behind the installation will be revealed; one that evokes world peace through collaboration and cooperation between artists around the globe.
The installation, which opened Nov. 11, for a yearlong run, with hope of finding a permanent home in the city, is but one of 22 installations throughout the world that are part of the Tile Project, an international endeavor spearheaded by the TransCultural Exchange, a Boston-based organization that aims to promote communication and cooperation between artists worldwide.
This project is a call for peace, explained Mary Sherman, director of the Tile Project and founder of TransCultural Exchange. I think of these installations as testaments of goodwill. While the world is in such strife, its amazing that artists around the world are willing to install each others work in their home countries without struggling with each other.
But there were other political obstacles that the artists faced to get installations set up in their respective countries, particularly in post-communist states. For instance, when Sherman was in Romania to visit the artists directing the local installation, her presence as a guest at a local womans house was deemed suspect by the police. Sherman has encountered a similar difficulty in Vietnam, where the tiles will be installed at the Museum of Fine Arts in Ho Chi Minh.
We had a lot of problems with the [Vietnam] site because its a communist country and the installation could be shut down at any time without us being told, said Sherman. You forget that there are still places where artistic freedom is so restricted.
Artists dont need to do this project to build their résumé, said Sherman, who is an artist herself. They really believe that this kind of thing should be done.
The bonus is that, in working on the project, artists come to be part of a worldwide network of like-minded people, all devoted to the creative life and the belief that art has the power to transcend and transform. Such a statement may sound far-fetched to skeptics, but considering that the global Tile Project was built, and continues to grow primarily via the Internet, the results are impressive.
More than 100 artists created 22 tiles each, with each tile to be sent to one of 22 installation sites throughout the world from 2004 to 2006. Thus far, installations have already opened in Wales, New Zealand, Israel and Romania. Upcoming openings in 2005 include installations in Bosnia and Azerbaijan.
The artists had almost no design restrictions placed on them. The only constant was the dimensions of each tile: 4.25 inches by 4.25 inches, and a half-inch thick. Some artists chose to use photography as a medium; some chose paint; some used glass.
It was a whole exciting thing to wrap up a pile of tiles and send it off to a person you dont know, said Sherman. And then, you get an e-mail back from them.
Its really nice for artists to meet each other. Artists become great friends through this project. Its what starts to get people talking to one another, because artists often are very insular.
The resulting work is diverse in media, imagery and ideas, as are the installations themselves. Each site bears a mark of the local culture by virtue of being set up under the direction of the participating local artists, who have their own visions regarding how the tiles should be installed. But the idea of each site being connected to other sites around the world as part of a larger mission maintains an international perspective in each local installation.
The idea of doing something collaborative was very attractive to me, said Enid Braun, a participating artist who co-directed the Mercer Park installation. It just opens everything up. Everyone was friendly and excited.
Karmela Berg, an artist in Israel, where an installation is set in Tel Aviv University, also enjoyed the collaborative aspect of the Tile Project. I like to be involved with artists from different countries and different ideas and disciplines, she wrote in an e-mail. This project was an opportunity learn about so many people and their art. She was also grateful for the opportunity that the Tile Project offered to all participating artists to visit sites outside of their home country.
The particular mission behind the Tel Aviv installation was to foster better relations between the sciences and art. Observing the reactions to the installation thus far, Berg wrote, Students, professors and all people that saw it were intrigued and inspired. They stop, they look, they read [the tag underneath each tile identifying artist and country], and I think it does something to their soul. I wish I could install a camera to take photos of the reactions.
Pan Ping-Yu, an artist involved in the installation that will open in Taipei, Taiwan, in May 2005, also expressed her excitement concerning the power of public art. The Tile Project shows many layers of interaction of the art world within culture, education and the international community, she wrote via e-mail.
It shows that public art can do something different more than functional, applied art. It brings the possibility of global understanding. I believe this understanding is priceless. The same goodwill of artists and art lovers from all over the world make it come true. Im very happy to be part of this project and to work with other artists from all over the world.
For her, this project is not simply about tile installations: I think this project is also a miracle realized by ordinary people.
The Tile Project organizers hope to participate in the UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization) exhibition in Paris 2006 to document the variety of ways the tiles have been installed throughout the world.

Petulant Billionaire NY Mayor Continues To Insist He's Never Wrong; Sues City Council Over Stop-And-Frisk Legislation
from the it's-my-way-or-IT'S-MY-WAY,-dammit! dept
Maybe billionaires are just used to getting their way. New York mayor Michael Bloomberg has seen his and Kelly's precious stop-and-frisk program declared unconstitutional by a federal court and face additional curbs via legislation passed by the New York City Council with a veto-proof vote. (Not that it stopped him from threatening those who voted for it… and vetoing them on sheer principle.)
Despite the number of legal attacks on the program, Bloomberg still feels its an unassailable part of modern policing. And as the opposition has continued to mount, Bloomberg's defensive actions and statements have taken on a degree of stubborn petulance. Everyone's wrong but him and his personal army.
At this point, Bloomberg is running short of toys to throw out of his well-appointed crib. However, he still has a few left to hurl at his opponents, and this latest salvo pretty much erases any emaciated notions that Bloomberg cares about New Yorkers more than he cares about being "right."
New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg sued the City Council Tuesday in a bid to overturn a law that aims to curb the police department's use of its controversial stop-and-frisk policy.For a man who constantly claims his first concern is public safety when defending stop-and-frisk, he sure doesn't seem to care much for them otherwise. Bloomberg gives every appearance that he believes he owns the city he's supposed to be serving -- and that what he says goes, no matter how many people object.
The council's votes came less than two weeks after a federal judge ruled unconstitutional the department's stop-and-frisk policy, in which officers stop people in high-crime areas suspected of engaging in criminal activity. The policy was thrown out on the grounds that it disproportionately targets minorities.
The council reaffirmed their passage of the measure 10 days ago, along with another bill creating an independent watchdog to monitor the New York Police Department, overriding the mayor's veto, despite his warnings that the legislation would threaten public safety.
By filing this lawsuit, he's basically attacking the city's own governing body (another set of servants who represent the public) for daring to undercut his decrees. The suit's success rests on an assertion Bloomberg certainly finds appealing -- that state criminal procedure laws trump a city's attempt to undercut his unconstitutional program.
The lawsuit, filed in state Supreme Court in Manhattan, asserted the bill was invalid because it is superseded by the state's criminal procedure law, or CPL, which governs the standards and procedures that police officers must follow.This is a very interesting tactic. Well, "interesting" isn't really the best word. Perhaps "disingenuous" or "hypocritical" or "transparently self-serving" would be better substitutes. Whether or not the mayor's legal argument has any weight remains to be seen but, in plain English, using the mayor's own assertions, this is what he's arguing.
"The CPL preempts the field of criminal procedure legislation and prevents local legislatures, including the council, from passing local laws in this area," the lawsuit said.
The city council cannot pass local laws that address areas covered by state criminal procedure laws -- and he's using this argument to defend a local program. Stop-and-frisk is not used statewide. It is solely a NYPD program. If that's the case, it could reasonably be argued that the city council does indeed have the power to pass laws affecting purely local police programs, such as stop-and-frisk.
But as the city's counsel states here, Bloomberg can make a pretty strong case otherwise:
Michael Cardozo, the city's top lawyer, said in a statement that the lawsuit was necessary to ensure the council did not overstep its authority.Cardozo calls the council's bill "regulation of law enforcement activity." Utilizing this broad term, the council would be overstepping its limits.The way the council's legislation is written doesn't specifically target the program itself, but rather the methods deployed for the stops and searches, and even those aren't addressed directly. It's more of a tangential approach that broadens the recourse options for citizens who feel they've been unfairly treated by these tactics.
"Local legislative bodies should not be passing laws affecting the regulation of law enforcement activity in this way," he said. "This is a matter governed by the state legislature."
Bloomberg is likely relying on the inherent vagueness of the council's legislation to work against it in this lawsuit, a vagueness that was likely intentional as the broader wording helped trim down the number of potential loopholes the NYPD could exploit in order to escape filed lawsuits.
If this lawsuit goes Bloomberg's way, it hardly looks like the end of the attacks on stop-and-frisk, but it does perhaps signal the end of its rigorous defense from the mayor's office. Two mayoral candidates have stated their displeasure with the program.
City Council Speaker Christine Quinn, a leading Democratic mayoral candidate:
"Mayor Bloomberg can sue all he wants, but at the end of the day, we will successfully beat back this ill-advised litigation and ensure the prerogative of the city council to reform stop & frisk..."Bill de Blasio, another Democratic frontrunner stated that "racial profiling is not good policing," adding later that, "we will not continue stop-and-frisk the way Ray Kelly's had it."
Bloomberg's third and final term ends this year but it appears he's going to do everything he can before then to ensure his legacy of unconstitutional stops lives on.

InfoQ Presentation: Eric Evans on Domain Driven Design - Putting the Model to Work
- Share

Reading List
Why bother with models?
Many development teams undertake modeling, yet they often end up with little more than a data schema which does not deliver on the productivity promises for object design. What does it take to make a domain model truly pull its weight and positively transform a project? To do that we need a model that is not just a diagram or an analysis artifact, but that provides the very foundation of the design, the driving force of analysis, even the basis of the language spoken on the project.
In this talk, Eric Evans outlines some of the foundations of domain-driven design:
- How models are chosen and evaluated
- How multiple models coexist
- How the patterns help avoid the common pitfalls, such as overly interconnected models
- How developers and domain experts together in a domain-driven design team engage in progressively deeper exploration of their problem domain and make that understanding tangible as a practical software design.
View the 60-minute InfoQ exclusive presentation Domain-Driven Design - Putting Models to Work to learn how to tackle complexity in software. Remember - the most critical complexity of most software projects is understanding the business domain itself.

Re: A great talk
Rolf Lampa
I once used other names in this domain, like Trip, TripEvent(Stops), TripSections(Legs) etc, a bit abstract perhaps, but generic. Downside with "generic names" is that it doesn't tend to sound very much like the "domain language", which is important for communicating core concepts with the domain experts, upside with generic names is (for the designer) that the emerging model "invites" to discovering generic patterns and "meta solutions" (a kind of a "the trees don't obscure the forest effect" if undressing the names of domain specific implementations). This in turn increases "insights" in the problem domain.
And yes, try to get as deep into the problem domain as possible by discussing many and all aspects with domain experts. Don't stop at the first bright idea. I like that.
But, OTOH, do NOT assume that the domain experts _fully_ understand the principles involved!, instead DO assume that they know (the best) how to do the job the way they currently do it (which is not exactly the same...).
What I am saying is that a thorough analysis in the pre-design stage is an unique occasion also for the domain experts (usually the end customer) to learn to even better understand the problem domain(s) at hand, and from that follows a unique opportunity to potentially *improve* the business concept(s). Well, that's my experience anyway.
It would be really interesting to hear also the other half of the lecture, hopefully the second part will also be uploaded?

As a practitioner the new and exciting bit was at the end: many models can work to our advantage. Often I will consider 'the context' of a system first, define the basics of 'it' and move on. Maybe, next time I will spare some thought for the many contexts and workout a framework for each of them. I can't wait to see how to make it work, in part two... how/where will it be advertised? Will there be a link from this presentation?
Re: Eager to see part two
Rolf Lampa
Wow this really was an idiotic claim!
What if Mr. Evans was only thinking very deep inbetween, trying to increase value by trying to avoid confusing you by introducing too much complexity too early?
He's actually doing very good. He's allowing things to sink in.
Would you know exactly why his very humble and pleasant performance sometimes makes a short brake for a moment of deeper reflexion?
This is what designer's do. They stop and think where other ruch ahead and causes,um... "all sorts".
Disregard this stupid comment.

Very good - now we wait for part THREE
Rolf Lampa
Part two is now online on InfoQ: www.infoq.com/presentations/strategic-design-evans
Thanks. This second part was very good as well. What's really worth considering in any enterprise system is the approach to separate a system into :
- Core Domain(s)
- Sub Domains (generic or supporting dittos)
Very good talk and recommendations, with example of how to people tend to put too much effort into the wrong (sub) domains and so end up with a crappy designed Core Domain.
Eric demonstrates his experience - and matureness - as a designer of "real world business systems" when he points out that business systems actually has to incorporate ALSO messy and chaotic parts (for example for varying types and quality of in-data to the system) since this is an essential part of supporting (solving) the REAL business problems/situations. But - and here comes the point - although "messy parts" are unavoidable, make sure to keep those messy parts (domains) out of the "clean" and well designed Core Domain(s)!
No surprise, very good talk again! I look forward to seeing also the third (last?) part. :)

Excellent hotel, friendly staff would def go there again
The view from our balcony in room # 409, was terrific. It was centrally located to everything on and around the port area. Wonderful service and everything was very clean. The breakfast was below average, although not bad. If back in Zante Town we would stay there again.
It is close to everything but if you go in the lower season the pool won't be ready even though the temperature was quiet high already.

Inside ASIS
Everything's Coming Up Roses atASIS Mid-Year in Pasadena
by Louisa Toot
Images of the Rose Bowl and the "little old lady from Pasadena" are what spring to mind for many when they consider Pasadena; however, despite its California setting, Pasadena is rich in history and culture, and visitors don't have to look far to find engaging sightseeing activities. So while you are in town for the ASIS Mid-Year Meeting, I encourage you to take a look around and enjoy the attractions that Pasadena has to offer!
May in Pasadena is one of the nicest times of the year; weather is mild with highs in the mid-70s and lows in the mid-50s. If the day is clear, one has a breathtaking view to the north of the San Gabriel mountain range, which we here in Southern California usually take for granted!
Flowers are in bloom year round in Pasadena. The rose is the official flower of the city; but irises, daffodils, camellias, gardenias, jacaranda trees and birds of paradise abound, as well.
The word Pasadena is a Chippewa Indian word that can be translated to mean "Crown of the Valley." The region which is now Pasadena was originally populated by Hahamonga tribe Indians before being settled by the Spanish in 1771. Pasadena officially became a city in 1886 and became known as a winter resort for wealthy families from the Midwest. Today, Pasadena takes up 23 square miles and has a culturally diverse population of over 138,900.
The city of Pasadena is well-known to architectural historians and boasts 33 properties listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Probably the most famous of these is The Gamble House, 4 Westmoreland Place, 626/793-3334. Both the house and its furnishings were designed by the famous Craftsman architects Charles and Henry Greene for David and Mary Gamble (Procter & Gamble) in 1908. Pasadena is home to many Greene & Greene and other Craftsman style buildings so if you are particularly interested in this architectural style you may want to visit the Pasadena Landmarks Web page.
Another historic home is the Wrigley Estate built from 1905-1914 by architect G. Lawrence Stimson for William Wrigley, Jr., of Wrigley's chewing gum fame. The mansion now serves as the Tournament of Roses Association headquarters. The sight is officially known as Tournament House and Wrigley Gardens, 391 S. Orange Grove Blvd., 626/449-4100, and is open free to the public.
If you don't have a chance to make it to any of the above then swing by the Castle Green Apartments at Raymond Ave. and Green St., 818/793-0359, while shopping or dining in Old Town. This impressive structure done in Moorish Colonial and Spanish architectural style was built in 1899 as an annex to the Hotel Green (no longer in existence). Organized tours are not available, but you can call the above number for an appointment to see inside.
If you haven't had your fill of architecture yet, two more sights located just south of Pasadena in Highland Park may be of interest: El Alisal, 200 East Avenue 43, 626/222-0546, and Heritage Square Museum, 3800 Homer St., 818/449-0193. El Alisal was the home of Charles F. Lummis, built by Lummis himself between 1898-1910. Lummis, a very colorful figure in Los Angeles history, was founder of the Southwest Museum, first editor of the Los Angeles Times and at one time was the city librarian. Heritage Square is an open air museum of "historically and architecturally significant buildings." Four Victorian Era buildings dating from 1865 to 1914 have been relocated to this site which preserves the structures and provides a unique opportunity for learning about southern California during Victorian times.
Pasadena accommodates several culturally diverse and unique museums. Perhaps the most well-known is The Huntington Library Art Collections and Botanical Gardens, 1151 Oxford Road, 626/405-2141. Here one can stroll through 150 acres of gardens, drink a cup of tea at the tea house (reservations required) and view notable works of art from 18th century Britain and France. Through May 30th the main exhibit at the Huntington is "The Great Experiment: George Washington and the American Republic," which includes manuscripts, rare documents, artifacts and art works giving a biographical account of Washington up to his presidency.
The Norton Simon Museum, 411 West Colorado Blvd., 626/449-6840, contains sculptures, paintings and etchings from the 14th to the 20th century. Here one can see masterpieces by Raphael, Rembrandt, Manet, Monet, Degas, Renoir, van Gogh, Cezanne and Picasso, as well as sculpture collections from India, Nepal, Thailand and Cambodia.
If you have an interest in the Asian arts then the Pacific Asia Museum, 46 North Los Robles Ave., 626/449-2742, is the place for you. Its main collection contains over 17,000 objects representative of art work from the Pacific Islands and Asia. Be sure to take a leisurely stroll by the koi pond in the center courtyard of the museum before you exit.
The Southwest Museum, 234 Museum Dr., 323/221-2164, is just up the road from El Alisal (Lummis' home) and is a museum, library and archive devoted to the American Indian. Lummis' keen ethnographical interest in Native Americans is what inspired him to start this museum. The library and archives comprise many of Lummis' writings and photographs.
If you go into withdrawal without your weekly shopping spree then there are several areas in Pasadena where you can get a quick fix and be merrily on your way. First and foremost is Old Town Pasadena located on Colorado Blvd. between Marengo Ave. and Pasadena Ave. This area had always been the heart of Pasadena business, but saw a decline in the 1950s when businesses moved just east of Old Town. As property values fell, buildings became rundown. In the 80s a move was made to revitalize the area, and now Old Town is the place to go for dining, entertainment and shopping. Along with major chains, such as the Gap, Pottery Barn and Barnes & Noble, are specialty boutiques, cafes, bakeries, bars and billiard halls.
If you are looking for a little less in the way of entertainment and a little more in the way of upscale shopping then South Lake Avenue is probably the area you should visit. On South Lake you can find specialty and garment shops such as Williams Sonoma, Eddie Bauer, Home Chef, Ann Taylor and Talbots.
If you are an "antique freak," then head to the area that has been dubbed Antique Row starting on the corner of Fair Oaks Ave. and Mission St. in South Pasadena. Green Street, just southeast of Old Town, also has a few antique stores including Shibui, 991 East Green St., 626/578-0908, which specializes in Japanese antiques. The Pasadena Antique Center, 480 South Fair Oaks Ave., 626/449-7706 is an antique cooperative containing 125 shops.
For the scientifically minded the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, 4800 Oak Grove Dr., 818/354-9314, and Mount Wilson Observatory, San Gabriel Mountains north of Pasadena, 626/793-3100, are available. JPL conducts visitor tours on the first and last Mondays of each month. Group tours are also available if booked well in advance (usually 6 months prior). Advance reservations are necessary for both tours. The tour includes the Spacecraft Museum, the Space Flight Operations Facility and the Spacecraft Assembly Facility. For more information about the tours see the JPL Web page.
The Mt. Wilson Observatory has a walking tour of the grounds and a museum although the telescope itself is not accessible. The Observatory is open to the public on the weekends 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Admission is free.
After a day of sightseeing, Pasadena has much to offer in the way of dining and entertainment. Whether you want to enjoy a good play or laugh it up at a comedy show, to find out exactly what is going on pick up a copy of the Pasadena Weekly or LA Weekly. These free newspapers can usually be found outside shops or grocery stores -- the new weekly comes out every Thursday.
Pasadena has two live theaters, the famous Pasadena Playhouse, 39 South El Molino Ave., 626/356-7529, and the more avant-garde Knightsbridge Theatre in the Braley Building, 35 South Raymond Ave., 626/440-0821. Scheduled to be playing at the Playhouse in May 1999 is Oscar Wilde's The Importance of Being Earnest. The Knightsbridge Theatre, once a basement storage area until it was converted into a theater in 1992, usually has several plays running in repertory. On the schedule for May 1999 are Shadowlands, Wuthering Heights and An Ideal Husband. Comedy shows can be seen at the Pasadena Ice House and Ice House Annex, 24 North Mentor Ave., 626/577-1894.
There are plenty of pubs in and around Old Town which provide a variety of live music. For rock and R&B try the Old Towne Pub, 66 North Fair Oaks Ave., 626/ 577-6583, McMurphy's, 72 North Fair Oaks Ave., 626/666-1445, or the John Bull Pub, 958 South Fair Oaks Ave., 626/441-4353. The Baked Potato, 26 East Colorado Blvd., 626/564-1122, has some of the best live jazz music around and for country and folk music, see what's up at Beckham Place, 77 West Walnut, 626/796-3399.
I've tried to pinpoint a few of the more interesting sights and give you a taste of Pasadena. For further information on other nearby attractions, entertainment and dining visit the City of Pasadena Web pages. Also, check out the Los Angeles Chapter of ASIS (LACASIS) Web pages for links and recommendations from local librarians. Hope to see you here in Pasadena at the ASIS Mid-Year Meeting!

ASIS Mid-Year MeetingFeatures Networked Information and Resources
Access to and use of networked information resources and services over the Internet continue to explode with new and innovative applications. Exploring the phenomenon of the Internet in the context of improving information services is the theme of the 1999 ASIS Mid-Year Meeting, Evaluating and Using Networked Information Resources and Services.
Meeting in Pasadena, California, May 24-26, conference goers will explore such topics as
According to the meeting planners, the number of domain names on the Internet has increased by 600% in the last three years. Entire network-based communities have been created to provide information and services and to develop social spaces unbounded by geography. Indeed, the networked environment creates opportunities for service innovation, provision, distribution and capabilities well beyond traditional means.
The development and provision of these innovative services are hindered by our limited knowledge of users and uses of networks, as well as by the lack of ongoing evaluation and assessment of networked resources.
The increased use and provision of networks and networked information services create the need for understanding the dimensions of electronic networks and the information services provided over such networks. The 1999 ASIS Mid-Year Meeting will address this need and begin to develop strategies for measuring, assessing and classifying electronic networking activities.
Program chairs for Evaluating and Using Networked Information Resources and Services are Charles McClure, Syracuse University, and John Carlo Bertot, State University of New York at Albany. Members of the program committee are Michael Crandall, Boeing Company; Paul Kantor, Rutgers University; Carol A. Hert, Indiana University; and Geoffrey Ford, University of Bristol.

Pitt to Endow LIS Chair
The University of Pittsburgh has received a $1.5 million gift from the Buhl Foundation to establish an endowed chair in Library and Information Science in Pitt's School of Information Science (SIS).
Named in honor of Doreen Boyce, the Buhl Foundation's president, the Doreen E. Boyce Chair in Library and Information Science is one of the very few chairs established specifically for library and information science in the nation and the first chair in Pitt's SIS.
SIS Dean Toni Carbo says a search is likely to begin in the spring to identify a scholar to hold the chair.
Seniors Online: PVC Chapter Volunteers to Help
by Trudi Bellardo Hahn
As ASIS members are well aware, one of the biggest cultural, economic and educational developments of the 1990s has been the explosive growth of the Internet and, especially, the World Wide Web. We know that virtually every sector of society has been impacted, and the rate of adoption and use has been nothing but phenomenal. However, not all groups have had equal opportunity of access; senior citizens and retirees have been among those who have lagged behind. Only a privileged few seniors have the money for equipment and access, the technical background to set it up and maintain it, and a relative or friend to show them how to use it.
For most seniors, the reality is that many roadblocks stand in the way of getting on the information superhighway. The barriers include economics (how will they pay for computers, modems, Internet accounts?), maintenance (how will they troubleshoot the hardware and software problems that inevitably arise after a system is installed?), training (if they are not working or going to school, how will they learn to use the Internet?) or mental blocks and poor motor skills (how can they overcome fear and suspicion of computers, lack of typing skills, failing eyesight, weak hand control or other disabilities?).
The Potomac Valley Chapter of ASIS has a history of fund-raising and using chapter funds for projects other than just newsletters and programming, specifically to support outreach programs that benefit the general community. In this tradition, the Executive Board of PVC in 1997 authorized the expenditure of chapter funds to purchase a state-of-the-art computer and large monitor. They donated the equipment and a subscription to an Internet Service Provider to the seniors living at St. Mary's Court, an independent living facility in downtown Washington, DC. St. Mary's Court is HUD-subsidized and ethnically mixed. A few of the residents work part-time, but most are retired. Nearly all have very limited incomes.
Four PVC members (Ione Auston, Trudi Bellardo Hahn, Clare Imholz and Kathleen Mullen) volunteered to provide the technical support and training. Trudi prepared written materials, Kathleen and her husband installed the computer and Ione obtained the loan of a laser printer from the National Library of Medicine and installed it. Beginning in the fall of 1997, the four volunteers took turns visiting St. Mary's Court to provide training in using the Web and assisting residents in setting up free Juno e-mail accounts.
The training mainly took the form of informal coaching, with a few directions on how to surf the Web and use JUNO e-mail and a few hints and tricks. The primary mode of teaching, however, was to sit back and watch while the seniors took turns on the computer themselves. In spite of their physical limitations in eyesight and hand control, which made the keyboarding process slow and laborious, they grasped the principles of the Web browser quickly. Soon they were clicking on links, typing in URLs, jumping forward and back and saving bookmarks. The volunteers suggested topics and sites to explore, but often the seniors had their own notions of where they wanted to go on the Web, to places we never could have anticipated. For example, one Spanish-speaking senior wanted to read about the ancient Incan capital, Macchu Picchu. We showed her how to specify Spanish-language only and enter the terms in a search engine (with several false starts on the spelling). Soon she was happily examining historic photographs of the archeological ruins of the lost city.
Recently, we polled the participating seniors at St. Mary's Court about how they felt about our outreach project, and these comments were among the responses:
Wilbert enjoyed finding the "Postcards from the Beach" site and will be visiting the Virtual Florist next.
Hakela has mastered e-mail and says she feels like a graduate from preschool to kindergarten when she surfs the Web.
Joan wonders what she did before ASIS donated the computer, and will be eternally grateful for their generosity. Between e-mailing friends as well as foes (government officials) and exploring unknown territory on the Net, there is little time left for serious mischief!
Paul is a recent arrival on the computer; he will be joining online chess games a few lessons from now.
Josie, who was ill this summer, was looking forward to a new round of classes as her health improved.
Laura and Barbara were thrilled to find bridge lessons on the Web; now they can join the St. Mary's Court Bridge Club.
Cecile was sure she would hate the computer and she almost did not bother trying . . . but "now I LOVE IT!" She corresponds with her son in Florida, reads the online newspapers from Daytona and Orlando (where she once owned and managed a motel) and goes into orbit whenever there is a glitch in JUNO (the free e-mail system they use). Cecile can use only her left hand (right side paralyzed by stroke), but does not let that deter her.
Speaking for the rest, Joan added "a special thanks from all of us to our coaches for donating their Wednesday evenings. Your patience and good will -- and faith in our aging abilities -- has sent our morale soaring."
Joan sent this message via e-mail, of course.

Have you had a chance to visit Effingham County's Farmers Market yet? You should definitely take the opportunity to stop by when you get a chance. The farmers market will be held every Thursday afternoon throughout the summer. The market is open from 4 -7 p.m. and is located in the old Springfield Ford building in Rincon. Parking is free.
According to Melissa Reagan, one of the market's organizers and owner of Madrac Farms, the first market was quite a success. Around four hundred people visited the market and three of the vendors sold out of their products due to popular demand.
My sons and I were fortunate enough to visit the market on opening day. I enjoyed watching people shopping with their market totes and planning the meals they would cook with their finds. There were ice-filled coolers loaded with crisp cucumbers and carrots. The wooden bins were filled with plenty of fresh produce. And, there were slow cookers simmering with samples of locally milled grits. The homemade bread and vibrant jars of marinated vegetables were sights to behold.
Here are some of the vendors you may find at the next farmers market:
Madrac Farms, www.madracfarms.com, will be there selling their locally grown vegetables. It's Vidalia onion time so you'll need to pick up plenty of those. The onions will pair well with their yellow squash or red potatoes.
Hodges Strawberry Patch is a pick-your-own strawberry farm located at 8705 Hwy. 21 North, Newington, GA 30446. Pick up some sweet local strawberries or plan to take your children to the farm so they can experience strawberry-picking for themselves.
Freeman's Mill out of Statesboro, Georgia specializes in all natural, whole grain products such as yellow and white grits, yellow, plain, or self-rising corn meal and whole wheat flour. If you're lucky, there will be some samples for you. Visit their web site at www.freemansmill.com.
Hunter Cattle and Savannah River Farms specialize in grass-fed beef, pork, and chicken. They can be found at www.huntercattle.com and www.savannahriverfarms.com.
Savannah's Frali Gourmet, www.fraligourmet.com, features all natural pasta, pasta sauce, and vegetables such as mushrooms, eggplants, and bell peppers marinated in flavorful oils. The jarred vegetables look gorgeous so they have to taste good.
Studier's Honeypot, www.studiershoneypot.com, features beeswax candles, shea butter glycerin soap made with honey, salt scrubs, body lotion, and skincare sets. Oh, and there's some local honey, too.
I'm planning to return to the market soon. It's the perfect place to meet the producers behind the goods you're consuming and to enjoy the sense of a community brought together by its love for food.
Fresh vegetables don't need complicated recipes. I like to simply sauté vegetables such as spinach, squash, zucchini, onions, green beans, or asparagus with a little salt, pepper, and olive oil. Delicious! This simple recipe for marinated cucumbers is one of husband's favorite side dishes. I like to eat it fresh while the cucumbers are still crisp. He will eat them for days until they're gone.
Marinated Cucumbers
3-4 medium (or 6-8 small) cucumbers, peeled and sliced
1 Vidalia onion, sliced
1 tsp. sugar
1 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. pepper
Distilled white vinegar
In a large bowl, add the cucumbers and onions. Sprinkle with seasonings. Add enough vinegar to cover the cucumbers. Cover and refrigerate until chilled.

Rokita to deliver election reform funds to Sullivan County
Contact: Allison Fore
Sullivan County will receive $23,396 as reimbursement for voting systems they purchased to comply with HAVA. Rokita's office began distributing funds to help pay for voting equipment upgrades resulting from the required phase-out of lever and punch card voting machines.
"It is great to see federal and state money being put to good use to help ensure fair and efficient elections for Hoosiers," Rokita said. "We have seen more recent reform in our election processes than we have since the Voting Rights Act of 1965. HAVA set forth some key mandates for all states to implement. Elimination of punch-card and lever machines, accessible polling places and voting systems, and a comprehensive statewide voter file linking all counties in real time."
Congress passed HAVA in response to issues brought to light in various parts of the country during the 2000 Presidential Election. HAVA required states and counties to replace all punch card and lever machine voting systems by January 1, 2006.
"In Indiana, thanks to the hard work of election officials at all levels of government, I am proud to say we implemented those reforms before the January 1, 2006 deadline."

Beware of Coco: Vandeweghe upsets Bartoli in Monterrey
Monterrey, MX – American Coco Vandeweghe ousted second- seeded Frenchwoman Marion Bartoli in the first round of the $235,000 Monterrey Open on Tuesday.
Vandeweghe broke the former champ's serve eight times and ripped 11 aces to come away with a 4-6, 6-3, 6-1 victory on the hardcourts at Sierra Madre Tennis Club. Bartoli captured this event in 2009.
The other top players cruised in their matches.
German Angelique Kerber played like the top seed as she disposed of American Samantha Crawford, 6-3, 6-3.
Third-seeded Russian Maria Kirilenko defeated Mexico's Ximena Hermoso, 7-5, 6-1, and fourth-seeded Serbian Ana Ivanovic bageled Russian Marta Sirotkina 6-0, 6-0 in a scant 45 minutes.
Fifth-seeded Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova, who won this title in 2010 and 2011, was trailing fellow Russian Nina Bratchikova, 4-2, in the first set on Monday when play was suspended for rain. Pavlyuchenkova recovered quite nicely, winning all 10 games played on Tuesday en route to a 6-4, 6-0 victory.
Eighth-seeded Ayumi Morita of Japan also leveled Slovak Jana Cepelova 6-0, 6-1.
Additional opening-round wins came for American Lauren Davis, Russian qualifier Alla Kudryavtseva, Serbian qualifier Jovana Jaksic and Croats Donna Vekic and qualifier Tereza Mrdeza.
This week's Monterrey champ will collect $40,000.

Here's an interesting Rivals article (link). Highlights!
- Obviously: OSU and Michigan have the best recruiters. You probably know all about Michigan's body of work, but OSU was admittedly impressive in Texas and Georgia. They secured the #1 Texan and took a 4 star running back wanted by Texas/Oregon. They also beat out 'Bama and Georgia for a 5 star Georgian linebacker.
- Also expected: Fred Jackson's recruiting prowess in Detroit is like Nick Saban and Lane Kiffin, but cleaner (This is almost not an exaggeration.)
- Greg Mattison's work all over the country gets mentioned. He's credited for securing Poggi from the Crimson Temptress, but you probably knew that already.
- I think Indiana's continued recruiting successes are the most noteworthy. They pulled a couple 4 star prospects from the Hoosier State--but also a 4 star out of Georgia. Indy raiding the SEC is pretty wild.
- Jerry Montgomery didn't make the list. These things probably vary by year, and I don't think it's a strong indication of anything in particular, but it's a relevant omission for Michigan fans.
- Frosting should come in two varieties: Chuck E. Cheese-style and the kind made with cream cheese. Also, all pie crusts should be made of graham crackers.

In light of the tragic shootings in Connecticut and Colorado, Florida legislators are taking a hard look at the state's mental health system, which ranks 49th among states and the District of Columbia when it comes to funding.
"That's $39 per person per year," said Bob Sharpe, president and CEO of the Florida Council for Community Mental Health, one of 10 panelists addressing the House Healthy Families Subcommittee Thursday as an "ongoing conversation" to address the system's woes. That figure, experts said, was lower than per capita funding for mental health in the 1950s.
The violence at Sandy Hook Elementary School is just one reason for action, said the subcommittee's chair, state Rep. Gayle Harrell, R.-Stuart. "Any time you have a tragedy it certainly focuses public attention on an issue," Harrell said. "We want to make sure that we don't just do this however when there's a tragedy."
Legislators need to look at the continuum of care "from prevention to identification to intervention to treatment," Harrell said, if any improvements can occur in a system where issues range from school safety to finding places for mentally impaired nursing home patients.
The lack of funding for prevention in the community, particularly in schools, has been a key issue both at Thursday's subcommittee meeting and at a Senate meeting Wednesday chaired by Sen. Eleanor Sobel, D-Hollywood.
That's because the bulk of the state's $723 million mental health budget is used for treatment, said Rob Siedlecki, assistant secretary for Mental Health and Substance Abuse.
Harrell's committee asked each panelist to come up with policy rather than funding solutions for mental health issues in the state.
"If we can set up a system in place and look at our system and really change it so that it is much more responsive to prevention, to the needs of the community then you can avoid some of those tragedies perhaps," Harrell said. "When a tragedy fades and the memory of it fades, you don't want to let this issue fade. "

3.3 Additional Instructions for Leaders
Represent the Lord and His Church
Because Church leaders have been called by the Lord through His appointed servants, they represent Him and His Church. As representatives of the Savior, leaders look to Him as their example. He said: "What manner of men ought ye to be? Verily I say unto you, even as I am" (3 Nephi 27:27).
Build Unity and Harmony
The Lord has said, "Be one; and if ye are not one ye are not mine" (D&C 38:27). Presiding officers encourage unity by seeking counsel from the men and women who serve with them. Members of presidencies and councils help establish unity by sharing their honest feelings and ideas, communicating clearly, and listening to one another.
When leaders of Church organizations follow their priesthood leaders and when members of presidencies and councils are unified, they can receive guidance from the Holy Ghost and lead according to the Lord's will.
Prepare Others to Be Leaders and Teachers
In some wards, leaders rely repeatedly on a small group of people to give service in priesthood and auxiliary organizations. This can overburden the faithful few, and it can also deprive others of experiences that could help them learn and grow. Effective leaders give all members opportunities to serve.
As presiding officers prayerfully consider members to fill leadership and teaching positions, they should remember that the Lord will qualify those He calls. Members do not need to be highly experienced before serving as teachers and leaders. They can learn from experience, by exercising faith and working diligently, and by receiving instruction and support from their leaders.
Presiding officers look for ways to give service opportunities to new members, members who are returning to Church activity, and young single adults. New and returning members are excited about the restored gospel, and they are often ready for opportunities to serve others and learn about the Church. Young single adults need opportunities to contribute to the Lord's work and grow spiritually.
For information about recommending members to serve in Church callings, see 19.1.1 and 19.1.2.
Delegate Responsibility and Ensure Accountability
Individual leaders cannot and should not do everything themselves. Leaders who try to do too much will "surely wear away" (Exodus 18:18), and so will the people they serve. Leaders should delegate service opportunities to others, such as counselors, clerks, and members of councils or committees.
Delegation includes more than giving someone an assignment. It includes the following elements:
Warn against Sin but Love the Sinner
Leaders need to be firm and unyielding in their warnings against sinful behavior but merciful and kind to those who sin. They treat others as the Savior would treat them. Doing so helps members feel the Lord's love for them as they apply the Atonement in their lives.
Encourage Reverence
Reverence is a calm and peaceful attitude of worship and respect toward God. It leads to gospel learning and personal revelation. True reverence comes from within each individual.
Leaders can help cultivate a reverent atmosphere at Church gatherings. In sacrament meetings, stake conferences, and similar meetings, leaders set an example of reverence as they sit on the stand. Leaders also encourage reverence by arranging for worshipful music and inspiring talks. Teachers can encourage reverence in
Prepare Written Agendas for Meetings
Written agendas can serve as guides for leaders as they discuss ways to serve others. If agendas are distributed before council or planning meetings, leaders will be more prepared for the discussions. Guidelines for preparing agendas for different meetings are found in chapter 4 and chapters 7–12.
Plan with Purpose
Leaders plan activities, lessons, and other efforts to bless the lives of ward members. They always plan with a purpose in mind so their efforts will benefit those they serve. In planning activities, leaders follow the principles in 13.1 and 13.2. In planning training and gospel teaching, they follow the principles in 5.5.
Leaders also make long-term plans for their organizations. This includes keeping an annual calendar, setting goals, and periodically evaluating progress in reaching those goals.
With help from secretaries, leaders maintain a written record of their plans and keep track of progress in completing assignments. After carrying out their plans, they evaluate how well the plans accomplished their purposes. This evaluation helps in future planning.
Use Church Resources to Learn Duties
Leaders use the following resources to help them learn and fulfill their duties:
- Home
- Handbook 2
- 3. Leadership in the Church of Jesus Christ
