Well before the seismic changes that characterized the end of season 3, the changes in both Trudy and the Campbell marriage were evident from the very first episode on. A marriage that formerly appeared to be little more than a disaster somehow righted itself and became a true partnership decades before such an idea became the norm. These changes were, of course, reflected in her costumes.
After doing a little victory dance in his office, Pete calls Trudy (who's in the middle of her own social-climbing activities: entertaining some docents) to inform her that he's been made head of accounts. She is thrilled and supportive, but wisely suggests he not turn to his mother for any validation, knowing how disappointed he'll be when he doesn't get it.
Season 3 Episode 1 - "Out of Town"
Season 3 Episode 1 - "Out of Town"
In previous seasons, Trudy's household wear was stylish, but still housewife-y. Shirtwaist dresses and twinsets that more often than not literally matched the furnishings. We will see her in such outfits again, but in this, her first scene in S3, she's in a smart suit in a standout color. Contrast her look with the neutral tones of the ladies she's entertaining. She is thrilled and supportive of Pete's good news, but cautions him about his emotional expectations. It's terribly retro, but she has a career now and that career is being Pete's wife. Pete's holding up his end of the bargain by advancing his career and she's holding up hers by advancing their social standing. We can judge that by 2010 standards but it would be a mistake to do so. By 1963 standards they have the most modern marriage of anyone on the show.
Later, she visits Pete in his office and comes face to face with his petulant anger over the discovery that he has to share the position with Ken Cosgrove. She soothes him, but more importantly she gives him some important career advice: "Don't let them see your anger." She knows her husband well and she knows what he needs to be steered clear of.
A perfect summation of her role in costume form. From the neck down, a smart suit that could easily function as business-wear. From the neck up, a ridiculous and frivolous hat, although a very stylish one for the time. She is both wife in the traditional sense and partner in the modern sense. And again, her new standing means she no longer fades into the background. She stands out.
Season 3 Episode 3 - "My Old Kentucky Home"
And speaking of not fading into the background, here she is at the Sterlings' Derby Day party, dressed for attention. In a scene loaded with color and prints, she still managed to stand out.
And standing out was the Campbells' Number One goal in this scene. They were depicted as flawless party-goers, able to flit from conversation to conversation, much to the consternation of the fumbling, awkward Cranes. Pete and Trudy (both dressed in shades of green, purple and blue) wowed the crowd with an eye-popping Charleston that only could have been achieved through hours of practice and lessons, which speaks of both their childlessness and their voracious appetites for social climbing. Costume designer Janie Bryant has said that she chose a dress that could evoke the styles of the '20s without literally recreating them. We think she accomplished that. A '20s dress would have had a much lower waist and a looser bodice, but the straight vertical lines of the silhouette and the airy, floaty skirt looked completely appropriate for a Charleston number. In addition, the super-modern print takes it away from being too literal and once again cements the Campbells as a modern and forward-thinking couple.
Trudy comes home from a summer weekend away from the city only to have Pete tearfully confess that he wasn't a good husband. He slept with (raped, but they wouldn't have thought of it in those terms) their neighbors' nanny. She is visibly hurt by this but eventually forgives him and they come to an understanding that Pete needs Trudy to keep him away from his darker impulses. Again, not a healthy marriage by 2010 standards, but far more equitable than a lot of marriages of the period. Just try and picture Don and Betty having a conversation like this.
Season 3 Episode 8 - "Souvenir"
Season 3 Episode 8 - "Souvenir"
J'ADORE THIS OUTFIT. It's sassy and modern and every inch the young Manhattan wife of a rising advertising executive in 1963. The chic simplicity and comfort are appropriate for vacation clothes, but they also serve to once again show how forward-thinking she is. Almost 50 years later and any gal her age could take this outfit and rock it 21st Century style. It's also notable because it's heralding the shift away from the rigid clothing of just a year or two before. It won't be long before the girdle and longline bra are relegated to old lady wear.
Massive head scarves really do need to make a comeback, wouldn't you say?
The Campbells are miserable together. Just look at Trudy's exquisite pouting. Pete has been passed over in favor of Ken Cosgrove for the permanent head of accounts position, shattering their career and social plans. In addition, the Kennedy assassination is playing out on their TV and even though they were, in all likelihood, not Kennedy supporters, the young couple are nonetheless saddened by the events and disgusted that Margaret Sterling's wedding is still going forward, their attendance expected. At first she resists his idea that they should skip it, but she comes around quickly to his thinking, plopping herself down on the couch in her party dress and slipping off her DTM shoes.
Season 3 Episode 12 - "The Grown-Ups"
Season 3 Episode 12 - "The Grown-Ups"
This was the scene where we really kind of fell in love with the Campbells, having formerly found them to be just a little unbearable. The Sterling wedding would have been one of the highlights of their social obligations for the year and despite their plans and goals, they're smart enough to realize that going would be tacky, especially in light of Sterling Cooper's snub of Pete. As they stand up for each other, they never looked better as a couple. Look how brilliantly she stands out against the colors of the room that used to swallow her up. Look at how his tie subtly matches her dress. They've really come into their own, which is one of only two options when life knocks you down.
Season 3 Episode 13 - "Shut the Door. Have a Seat"
Love this outfit too. It's a housewifely shirtwaist dress, but in a really kicky print. Don and Roger drop by with little warning to coax Pete into following them as they form a new company. Like a good wife, she leaves them alone to their man talk, but like a modern partner, she's right there doing her job the minute the door closes behind them. Pete assigns her a couple of tasks and they each march off in different directions, excited, with jobs to do and a newfound purpose. Unlike, for instance, Betty, Trudy knows an opportunity when she sees it and she understands exactly how big a deal this is for Pete and by extension, for her. She will do whatever she has to to make it happen.
We don't think there's much to say from an analytical perspective. Like we said, it's housewifey, but it's stark and stands out, like most of her wardrobe this season. She no longer matches the walls or the drapes.
Trudy stops by the temporary offices of the newly formed Sterling Cooper Draper & Pryce with sandwiches for the whole crew. It's supportive in a wifely manner, but it also places her firmly in the middle of the office. Think about how Pete used to react to her when she stopped by the SC offices. When he wasn't yelling her out the door, he was gently shoving her out the door. Here, she's welcome not just by Pete, but by everyone.
Even though she's dressed like a gigantic Christmas decoration - and it's December 1963 here; you know damn well that she has several variations of holiday-themed outfits in her closet - there's a certain maturity to the clothes. Still modern and bold, but with a more grownup feeling. Take away the hat and switch out the bold plaid for a solid color and this could have passed for one of Bobbie Barrett's super-stylish getups. And look how much she stands out in the scene. No one even comes close to pulling the eye the way she does. Peggy and Joan (who you can't see in these screencaps) are in serious blues and blacks, just like the men, but Trudy is all bold and bright. She's gone on a journey as much as anyone else in that room and she's in the best place she's ever been.

In news that has our punters here at the Football Transfer Tavern gossiping, Sky Sports claim that Leeds United striker Luciano Becchio has asked to leave the club.
In news that will have several Premier League clubs on high alert, the forward has clearly decided that his future lies elsewhere. Having been prolific this season and placed himself on the radar of not only the Premier League but also the rest of Europe, the player is keen to make the move and further his career away from Elland Road.
The club have released a statement claiming: "Luciano Becchio, who has been the subject of two separate bids from foreign clubs during the January transfer window, has handed in a transfer request to the club, as financially he believes his best interests are served by a move away from Leeds United."
Whilst fans at the Yorkshire club may point the finger firmly at Becchio's desire to earn more money, they will also know that the player's contract expires in 2014 and Neil Warnock's side can turn down bids should they see fit to do so.
Of course the club will look to capitalise on the form of the player and sell him to the highest bidder given the fact Becchio has reminded everyone there is seemingly no loyalty in football anymore.
Should becchio go then take alook at the price for rhodes to Blackburn £8 mill, then beccio should be £12 mill.
Bit botherd about tates comments and money.
Unless NW gets a lump sum of this transfer fee then the fans will be off for good..WATCH THIS SPACE.
If he has made his mind up to leave, Adios Beccio,,,best of luck,,,He has been a good player and always been profesional and tried his best,I have no problem with him wanting to further his career elsewhere,,
Good luck to him. Been a great player for us and, at 29, being his last 'big' contract, I can't blame him for trying to do the best he can for himself
Shame but inevitable. The prolific partnership of Ross and Varney will get us into the premiership this year anyway.
Now that's funny
agood luck luca if you go,youyou will be missed are a top man,
Been good player for us, but like any business,staff leave, and are replaceable .
He a good finisher, but not the best.
Would nt hack prem , getting too old.
Worth selling, we had the best of him.
Yes good luck he has seen the light just like thousands of Leeds fans MOT away from Elland road

It was clear how much esteem Kanye West had for late Apple CEO Steve Jobs in his New York Times interview last month, where he praised the technological innovator.
So it made sense when Kanye revealed on Twitter that Kim Kardashian's Father's Day gift to the father of her newborn child was a pair of Apple computer mice—one signed by Jobs, the other signed by Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak:
one of the other gifts my girl gave me for fathers day pic.twitter.com/WnlZaMhVtw
— KANYE WEST (@kanyewest) July 1, 2013
Speaking with ABC News, Wozniak explained how he came to meet West and Kardashian. "It was going to be a big surprise for Kanye," said Woz. "What a beautiful idea from Kim."
"I signed the mouse in front of him," he continued. "It's really rare, both our signatures in matching form."
During the visit, Kanye took the opportunity to speak to Wozniak about some of his ideas. "It was an excellent conversation for about two hours and he finally got into his grandiose business ideas. I have some comments to give him. I have been thinking about it since the meeting."
While Wozniak wouldn't comment on the ideas, he praised West for his drive, and said when you "visualize yourself in a certain way" that anything can happen.
Wozniak also commented on Kim's affection for West. "She wanted to do something nice, outstanding and unusual for her man. In this day and age you really have to put a thinking cap on," Wozniak said. "I believe in signs of true love. I wanted to be a part of this."

Whether the Constitution failed or not, the article below makes a valid point concerning our current conditions. Our founding fathers warned us about the circumvention of the Constitution and the necessity to have a moral people in order to keep our Republic. Unfortunately, those warnings become the very foundation on the destruction of our Liberty by the people who now represent our "government". Here is one set of warnings from Thomas Jefferson's newspaper in 1792: Rules for Changing a Limited Republican Government into an Unlimited Hereditary One.
Did the Constitution fail? Of course. It is a contract between the People and a limited federal government: "We the People" are the first three words. The government broke the contract which nullifies the entire document. Once the people allowed the first breach (arguably Marbury v. Madison in 1803), the end result became inevitable.
Did the Constitution fail? I would submit that the cause of the failure of the Constitution is not the framework but the people. Once the people gave up their natural rights to a federal government, the contract became nothing more than a mandate to enslave us. And there is no other word than slavery to describe the state of anyone who is paying taxes to support a majority of the "people" through entitlements and government workfare.
So how do we regain our Liberty? I once heard an attorney who argued in the U.S. Supreme Court give us one answer. Take the Constitution as written and throw it out the window. Take a blank piece of paper, write down the Constitution as originally written and add the following: THIS TIME WE MEAN IT.
David DeGerolamo
By Ryan McMaken
If you're still wondering if the US Constitution of 1787 failed to protect liberty, then just look around you. That scrap of parchment is an obvious failure. The US government is the hugest government in the world and meddles in the lives of its citizens (and people worldwide) in every way imaginable. The government accepts no limits on its power whatsoever. The president rules by decree.
This isn't done under some new constitution. This is all done under the 1787 one. Lots of liberty activists argue that the Supreme Court is just reading the document incorrectly, but one simply cannot deny that virtually everyone in government, as well as most of the general population, is perfectly fine with most of what government does today, and thinks it's constitutional. If one can plausibly claim that the constitution authorizes most of what the US government does today, then the document's language is obviously feeble, ineffective, and useless for the purposes of preserving liberty.
Even among those "constitutionalist" types, many of whom are militarists, you'll find plenty of support for unconstitutional measures such as a standing army, drug prohibition, and other government programs beloved by conservatives, but which are obviously not authorized by the enumerated powers of the constitution.
Rothbard had this figured out a long time ago:
From any libertarian, or even conservative, point of view, it has failed and failed abysmally; for let us never forget that every one of the despotic incursions on man's rights in this century, before, during and after the New Deal, have received the official stamp of Constitutional blessing.

The Constitution didn't fail, we allowed ourselves to fall asleep at the wheel allowing the progressives to progress. Now, we are doubling down and enlightening ourselves about what our Constitution is all about, and what must be done. War is coming. These American Bolsheviks and their jihadist Mooslems won't be backing off too easily - we will have to fight them back. Prepare! Prepare your family, friends, neighbors and community. After this is over, there will be a rebirth of liberty and renewed patriotism - except for what's left of the defeated progressives who will have to live amongst us or leave the country. Pray, keep the faith, and above all, remain positive and believe that we can win. Gloom and doom is negative energy that destroys.
I do not believe any kind of budget was passed this year, Doug. If it was, it sure was not balanced . . . !

Not only did "we the people" fail, but half of those "we the people" do not even think anything is wrong. Do you think that black girl screaming about Obamaphones in Cleveland thinks anything is wrong . . . !
--Frank Nitty
@Dennis L. Kolb
Unless a contract has a clause that specifically states that one breach or nullification of a section (usually due to a legal argument or government regulation) does not invalid the entire contract, any breach of a contract is grounds to void the entire contract.
A good example of this type of clause is found in the Obamacare legislation. Not that it is being instituted lawfully but by pResidential whim.
Rich Knoch, I could not agree more with you. This country has been running from God since the 60's and we are "reaping what we have sown". Many things have happened in every generation to weaken our following the intent of the Constitution as instituted by the Founders. And the total lack of education on our founding and history (increasing annually) for the largest per centage of citizens over the last six and one half decades certainly it going to make it difficult to correct it all. I would suggest that this country's recognition that a return to God is absolutely required if we are survived, and that a true and factual education of our history and the Founding and Founders are absolutely necessary for this nation to survive. If you want to read an absolutely stunning revelation of what is in store for us, get the book named the "Harbinger", which can be found on the WND.com bookstore, if not in your local bookstores. You will be astounded at the parallels between this country now and the fall of Babylon in the Bible. It is astounding and I saw a TV show the other night by the author and he was spiritually inspired to write the book. It is well worth reading for every single American. Again, you will not believe the parallels, right down to the exact words uttered by the leaders (the same), the reaction to the crises, and even the plants involved at the World Trade center versus Babylon. 9/11, as explained in this book, was a call for this country to return to GOID and we missed it out of religious ignorance, just like the Jews did in Babylon. Whether you eventually agree or not, it well worth the read, IMHO.
God Bless America, and may we return to GOD as a nation to save ourselves. The Founders were Godly people and understood the Founding of this country was providential. They were even surprised they could pull it off and said so. They were also the best educated generation, ever, in the history of our country. That is how they pulled it off. Most of them read about the fall of the Greek and Roman empires in their native languages and understood that is what the corruptibility of man that always leads to the downfall of empires. Our running from God and teaching the Founding principles to children for almost 60 years has lead to our general ignorance as a country. We must return to God (whatever your religion - except Islam, which is totally antithetical to our principles, as based on the Bible ), and teach our children about the Founders, their perspicacity, what they knew to found this country, and the Founding itself.
God Bless America, and may we survive. We have been the beacon to the world for over two centuries. Without our leadership, the world we become complete chaos. Do you realize how much we have done for the world and our part in it for two centuries? We saved the world twice in the 20th century (not by ourselves, but it would not have happened without us involved). And how many times in history have you know of a country who helped pay for the reconstruction of the enemies it defeated and then made both of them (Germany and Japan) into republics? None, of which I am aware. Do you think the average citizen under the age of 55 or 60 knows these things.
I pray that this country will return to God and that the churches will return to what they were to assist in the needed change.
God Bless America, and may we survive !!!
The Constitution did not fail. The American apathy for their freedom, responsibility, and allegiance to the country failed, We allowed ourselves to be seduced by the "progressive movement" into accepting our government as the watch dog over everyday responsibilities that we should have been in charge of. We brought into the Big Brother ideas of the progressives. . The Congress, the President, and the Supreme Court failed. We allowed the concentration of power to come about by constantly reelecting individuals to the seat of power rather than looking at their record while in office. Now Congress does not represent any interest other than their own, we have a President that picks and chooses what laws he will obey, and even through he proved himself incapable of the position, he was reelected, and we have a Supreme Court that has become an activist court rather than an interpretative court as originally designed..
And what do we do? We sit confortably in our homes, decry the state of the union, and then go out and reelect the same corrupt representatives we always have.
More accurately . . . . WE have failed the Constitution!
John Adams stated this succinct FACT . . . In order for the Constitution to continue it requires an honest and moral* people . . . we seem to have forgotten that simple FACT. . . or, at least, the Left-and-Bizarre-Left have certainly forgotten that simple and supreme FACT.
*I would use the Adams own words, 'Butt' it might set Liberals hair on fire.
I agree with several commenters placing the blame for our current difficulties, not on the Constitution, but on the people for "not paying attention", so to speak. But I also believe, as this blog I wrote a few days ago alleges, that the Constitution has contributed to our woes:
The Problem With The Constitution
Unfortunately, I believe there is a problem with our Constitution as well as with many other "laws" meant to apply specifically to our Federal government. Laws for the ordinary citizen state what we must or must not do, then prescribe a penalty, such as a fine, jail time, or both for non-compliance. However, there are no such penalties spelled out for violating the Constitution or other laws, such as the one requiring that an annual budget be submitted, for example. I believe a budget was passed for this year, but if I recall correctly, it had been several years since the last one.
Another obvious law politicians routinely break, or attempt to break, reads in part, "…. the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed." The Constitution being the highest law in the land, it would seem that there ought to be some consequence, other than a figurative "slap on the hand" by a court, imposed on anyone who "infringe(s)" on that, or any other portion of it.
Is it any wonder that the president and Congress routinely, it seems, ignore the Constitution and other existing laws meant to apply to them when the only real consequences are the possible disapproval of some of their constituents during the next election sometime in the future?
The constitution is fine. The congress failed to do what is required when a President does not follow the law. This entire government is being taken over by communists and they sit and let it happen.
Sorry about the typing errors in my comment. My old fingers don't work as they used to.

Is there readily available functionality for Java to create a folder hierarchy on a remote FTP server. Apache Commons does provide an FTP client, but I can't find a method for creating a directory hierarchy. It does allow for creating a single directory (makeDirectory), but creating an entire path does not seem to be in there. The reason I want this is because sometimes part of a directory hierarchy is not (yet) available and in such a case I want to create the missing part of the hierarchy and then change to that newly created directory.
You have to use a combination of
You need to recursively walk the directory tree in the manner described above at each level create the directory as required.
Needed the answer to this and so I implemented and tested some code to create directories as needed. Hope this helps someone. cheers! Aaron
Apache Commons VFS (Virtual File System) can access several different filesystems (FTP among them), and it also provides a createFolder method that is able to create parent directories if needed:
Documentation states that method "creates this folder, if it does not exist. Also creates any ancestor folders which do not exist. This method does nothing if the folder already exists."
This may suit your needs.
Why can't you use the FTPClient#makeDirectory() method to build the hierarchy, one folder at a time?
Use ftpSession.mkdir function to create directory.

Baby wrapping is an ancient practice and was widespread until the 1800s, when American moms began abandoning it en masse. Some stopped because they felt it was passé, while others bought into the spreading new belief that wrapping deprived new babies of their freedom.
In the late 20th century, parents began to take a new look at this old technique. This came on the heels of interest in other ancient practices like yoga, meditation, and breastfeeding. These time-honored health traditions surged in popularity – because they work!
Swaddling has made a huge comeback, thanks to the success parents have with it and the multiple studies that have found it effective at reducing crying and boosting baby sleep. Today, most parenting books and the American Academy of Pediatrics' (AAP) recommend swaddling. And swaddling blankets have become one of America's top baby shower gifts.
But, unexpectedly, all of that is being put in jeopardy by a dramatic – and unscientific – new daycare regulation being pushed by the National Resource Center for Health and Safety in Child Care and Early Education in Aurora, Colorado.
In 2011 the group decided that swaddling (even in gossamer-thin blankets) is unnecessary and risky and should not be used after the first couple of weeks or months. They said swaddling might hurt a baby's hips (yet no study has found a relationship between modern swaddling, which leaves room for babies to bend their legs up and out, and hip dysplasia), might cause babies to overheat (no study shows overheating from swaddling, unless the head is covered or the room is hot), or might cause SIDS if loose blankets get wrapped around a baby's face (studies show that only loose bulky bedding – like a comforter – is a SIDS risk, not light muslin bedding).
The NRC work is usually quite good, but this time the group has gone way out on a limb, without the science to support it. And now, many state governments (including Minnesota, Pennsylvania, and Texas) have taken these unfounded recommendations and turned them into new regulations that ban swaddling in daycare settings.
While the AAP does warn parents not to put loose or bulky bedding in a baby's crib, it has never said that correct swaddling is unsafe. In fact, a new AAP review praises snug wrapping: "Swaddling, when done correctly, can be an effective technique to help calm infants and promote sleep." The AAP says future studies may even show swaddling to be a useful way to reduce SIDS.
Today, leading SIDS experts recommend correct swaddling to prevent fussy babies from accidentally rolling to the stomach and exhausted parents from using unsafe sleep practices (stomach position or bed sharing) in a desperate bid to get more sleep. (Correct swaddling is done with a thin blanket, with looseness at the bottom to allow the baby's hips to move and the legs to spread apart naturally.)
The wisdom of this advice is supported by a recent study that found moms who swaddle are about twice as likely to put their baby down in the safer back position.
Safe swaddling may also prevent other serious problems triggered by infant crying and parental exhaustion, like postpartum depression, breastfeeding failure, child abuse, overuse of medication, trouble losing pregnancy weight, and even the burden on businesses from reduced productivity and increased healthcare costs for exhausted new-parent employees.
I believe bans on swaddling are shortsighted and wrongheaded. If you're unhappy with the swaddle ban at your daycare, take action! Make a petition asking to return the right to you to decide whether your baby can be swaddled. Circulate it to other parents at your center, and send it to your state's governor.

May 30, 2016
State legislators proposed a bill aiming to help military families make ends meet.
The bill would fund the Michigan Military Fund. That fund would provide up to $2,000 for families to pay bills and other emergency expenses while their significant other may have taken a paycut due to military service.
The money for the fund would come from taxpayer donations that would be available on 2005 income tax forms.
The bill is set to go to conference, but its architects say it could be signed into law as early as this summer.

text: In spite of all that has been said here about Acronis, I'd like to add my story about them. I was a convinced user of Macrium Reflect V4, then I upgraded my PC to a Win64 model, having also USB 3 ports. Reflect recovery media would neither recognize the Raid array (stripe 0) of my new system, nor the USB 3 ports. I followed the directions on the user forum to try to add the right drivers at boot time, to no avail. Then I got the info that only V5 could solve my issues, but at that time it was still buggy, according to other users, and Macrium wanted me to switch all 4 licenses of my Familiy Pack to V5. And for a helfty price. There was no reason for me to switch the 3 other PC to V5, there Reflect was running fine. At this moment, Bits du Jour offered a nice rebate for ATIH V11. I was nicely surprise to see that the recovery media was detecting both Raid Arrays & USB 3 nicely. I also discovered the elaborate backup management it proposes. Since then ATIH V11 has been running flawlessly on my system. Granted, I did not have to restore anything yet. To be safe I also run other imaging that are compatible with my system, and my preferred one is R-Drive from R-TT. Very light and powerful.

Index of Memorial Resolutions and Biographical Sketches
View in portable document format.
EDWIN B. ALLAIREEdwin B. Allaire (August 29, 1930-September 27, 2013) was professor of philosophy at The University of Texas at Austin from 1969 until his retirement in 2006. Elected professor of philosophy emeritus upon retirement, he continued teaching and advising students informally, until he was overcome by illness earlier this year. He was chair of the Faculty Senate from September 1974 to August 1975.
Prior to coming to Texas, Allaire taught from 1960 until 1968, at the University of Iowa, where he was chair of the philosophy department from 1965 until 1968. He was also a visiting professor at the University of Michigan and at Swarthmore College, and presented invited lectures and colloquies at many other universities. Raised in Bayonne, New Jersey, he served in the U.S. Army in Korea from 1953 until 1955. He received a B.A. from Drew University in New Jersey in 1956 and a Ph.D. from the University of Iowa in 1960.
Professor Allaire was a leader in the movement sometimes called "Iowa Ontology" and sometimes "Midwest Metaphysics," the view that the world is best conceptualized as consisting of bare particulars and their properties. He published several influential articles in ontology and early modern philosophy. He was one of several authors of Essays in Ontology (1963). In 1995, the book Berkeley's Metaphysics and Epistemology: Structural, Interpretive, and Critical Essays was dedicated to him because of his work on the philosopher, George Berkeley.
An excellent teacher, Allaire had doctoral students who went on to teach at highly ranked universities such as the California Institute of Technology, the University of Pittsburgh, and Yale University. The Graduate School at UT Austin conferred on him an Outstanding Graduate Teaching Award in 1985. In Memoriam comments on various websites testify to his great and lasting influence on students.
Allaire had broad and deep interests in art and literature. He often gave books of poetry as gifts, not for any occasion and not as an obligation, but from "a greatness of spirit." He would also give friends other books, such as a four-volume collection that included Fowler's A Dictionary of Modern English and Fowler's The King's English. He occasionally surprised the staff with bagels or pastries. He applied his understanding and appreciation of language in helping both students and young colleagues to improve their writing. In reviewing work of graduate applicants, graduate students, and colleagues, he became well known for conscientiousness effort to appreciate each person without preconceptions, as an individual.
His sometimes-pointed humor always had a point—often against mean-spiritedness and oppressive bureaucracy. He once joked "Texas was the only state with a nationalism complex."
Allaire is survived by his son Christopher and daughter Valerie.

Texarkana College was established in 1927 as a public junior college and as a branch of the Texarkana, Texas Public School Systems governed by the Texarkana independent School District Board of Trustees. First located at 16th and Pine Streets, the campus was composed of classrooms, laboratories, offices and a gymnasium.
The College experienced a slow but steady growth from the 109 students in 1927 until the end of World War II at which time it became increasingly apparent that the growth in enrollment caused by returning veterans demanded expansion. Accordingly, a bond issue was included in a 1948 election to the tune of $40,000 to purchase a new campus and to finance construction. Twenty acres were purchased and construction of an administration building and gymnasium began in 1950. In 1953, the college relocated to its present site on Robison Road with an enrollment of 589 students.
In 1957, the Texarkana Independent School District Board of Trustees voted to "divest itself control, management and operation of the Texarkana Junior College District" and to create a separate Board of Trustees for Texarkana College to be comprised of nine members.
In 1971, Texarkana College joined forces with East Texas State University, which is now Texas A&M University/Texarkana (TAMU-T) in a uniquely cooperative venture that allows North East Texas residents greater access to higher education.
In 2012, voters in Bowie County approved a measure to expand the College's tax district to encompass the whole county. For the first time in history, all Bowie County residents who enroll at Texarkana College will be considered in-district students.
Expansion and growth continue today with the addition of new programs and partnerships with surrounding school districts and high quality continuing education available to all members of the community.

LISMORE City Council has voted to raise its concerns over cuts to single-parent's welfare payments with local MPs Janelle Saffin and Justine Elliott.
In introducing the motion, Cr Battista noted that 21% of families in the Lismore LGA are single-parented, versus the national average of 16%.
The cuts are expected to save the Federal government $728 million over four years but will cost single parents up to $223 a fortnight.
Cr Battista said the cuts would have a major impact on the Lismore area. Cr Clough noted that single-parents were the 'life-blood' of the community.
Cr Ritchie noted that Ms Saffin had already spoken against the decision in Parliament.

These are the fibers that keep the skin matrix strong and elastic. As the skin stretches, these fibers expand, but when pushed too far, can break. Stretch mark prevention comes from strengthening these fibers. Repair comes from building new fibers.

More than 100 vintage snowmobiles were on display this afternoon at Sherwood Inn, just north of Fall Creek.
People from all over Wisconsin and Minnesota showed up for the event.
With the 55 mph speed limit bill making headlines, some shared their viewpoints on the proposed law.
"They shouldn't go any faster than 55 at night or during the day. Snowmobiling is supposed to be fun. It's supposed to be an enjoyment," aid Shelly Ross, a snowmobiler from Holcombe.
Dan Jensen, the event organizer, is anticipating a bigger and better show next year and plans to donate money to the Fall Creek area.

Pride and state prejudice
National | Youth Reach groups fight destructive teen attitudes and obstructive government policies
in Houston-Hidden behind Texas pine forests is a small Houston ranch home where each day at 3:30 p.m. a yellow school bus dispenses boys decked in white polo shirts and khaki pants. Like typical schoolboys, they jostle and tease one another before filing into the kitchen for after-school snacks. But jocular demeanors mask troubled souls. Two were sodomized by family members. Another can't forget the day he discovered his mother dead on the floor after his father shot her and then committed suicide. Many of the nine residents at Youth Reach Houston-a state-licensed foster home for troubled teenage boys-have similar stories. On a hot afternoon, the boys crowded around a tub of popcorn after school. One resident dutifully swept popcorn kernels off the kitchen floor as others got an early start on homework. Down the hall, three bedrooms sported clean floors and neatly made bunk beds. But the outward orderliness belied a brewing storm: The ranch was on "shut down"-no TV, video games or basketball-until the culprit who destroyed the household commode voluntarily confessed. "The boys who come here are very angry," said Youth Reach director Curt Williams, a 40-year-old father of four with a long pony tail and jet black eyes. "They have a lot of false pride. It's a façade ... and we try to make it clear to them that we know they really don't feel good about themselves. We try to get them to be honest with themselves." To foster honesty, Mr. Williams relies on a tough mix of biblically based grace and discipline. All new arrivals are automatically assigned to Level 0-the lowest of four ranch rankings based on demonstrated obedience and self-discipline. Those at Level 0 go to bed earlier, have no phone privileges, and perform the least popular chores. "It's basically a humbling period," said Mr. Williams. By earning good-behavior points, residents attain higher levels, gaining phone privileges, exemption from "kitchen duty," and the right to work outside the ranch. Grace begins when residents enroll for a year's worth of free lodging and meals. The only charge is a promise to follow the rules or pay the consequences. "There are no locks on the doors and no barbed-wire fences," Mr. Williams said. Over the last decade, Youth Reach has sheltered over 1,000 boys and recently opened new homes in Tennessee and Oklahoma. To strip pride, residents receive a daily dose of manual labor. "I tell them, 'I am going to love you more than you have ever been loved, and a sign of love is discipline,'" said Mr. Williams, who sold drugs on Houston streets until age 23 (WORLD, Jan. 30, 1999, "Houston's big fish"). That discipline style upset bureaucrats in the state social services department. Though the ranch refused taxpayer funding rather than risk compromising its biblical emphasis, a state license was enough to invite trouble. At issue is the "log pile"-a discipline entailing an afternoon of hauling logs. Mr. Williams requires all staff members to haul logs at least once before administering it as punishment. He occasionally assists residents with hauling as a way of demonstrating grace. Even so, state inspectors banned the log pile last year, deeming it "demeaning" to children. Sentence-writing punishments were also deemed "purposeless" and therefore inappropriate discipline. Asked why the log pile and sentence writing had to go, Texas Protective and Regulatory Services spokesperson Marla Shealy cited sections of the state's foster-care licensing policy: "A facility may not require or force a child to perform any unproductive work," the policy said. "These behavior management methods are prohibited because they do not meet the needs of any child." But a troubled child's most urgent "need," argued Mr. Williams, is drastic intervention to prevent a future crime statistic in the making. "If we don't turn these guys around, basically they are predators who will be on the streets or locked up," he said. "I've got all of the odds stacked against me, and I need every tool that works." At first Youth Reach fought back through the state's appeals process, but soon ran out of time and resources to fight a legal battle. Mr. Williams says he has lost about a dozen boys since then because he lacked appropriate discipline tools. "They [state officials] say they are worried about self-esteem. But I've got gangsters coming here that have done nothing but victimize and hurt people," he said. "That's not self-esteem. That's pride, and pride has to be broken." Apparently, he and the state have different definitions of self-esteem. Mr. Williams holds the biblical view that man's "self" is sinful outside of God's grace. State policy, however, is founded on the opposite belief that man is originally good and misbehavior is merely the product of a bad environment. The problem is not unique to Texas. In Oklahoma, Youth Reach Tulsa directors said the state ordered them to change or eliminate every reference to "punishment" in their rules manual before they could obtain a state license. Even so, Mr. Williams plans to retain his state license for the sake of credibility. Others are finding ways around the state's barriers. "We are trying to tailor a program that works for the church," said inner-city Houston pastor Henry Dibrell. Through a church ministry called Somebody Cares (WORLD, Sept. 9, "Faces"), he hopes to form a partnership between a private adoption agency and some 300 local churches. Using the private agency as a mediator, Mr. Dibrell wants to calm church members' fears of state interference and at the same time put a dent in the some 12,000 Texas children needing foster care. "If we get in there and they [state agencies] see a drastic change because the church was doing something about the problem, then we will have a voice," he said. Others have created alternate licensing systems. Rev. David Blaser of the Dallas-area Miller Road Baptist Church, for instance, founded the Texas Association of Christian Childcare. Headed by a group of Texas pastors, the association has permission from the state to accredit Christian foster-care homes. The association inspects homes for safety and health hazards and signs of abuse, but leaves discipline policies up to the home. "It's kind of a buffer between the state and the church," said Mr. Blaser. That buffer is possible thanks to recently passed Texas legislation requiring state agencies to respect the religious freedoms of "faith-based" community ministries. In Florida, similar legislation spawned the inception of 26 Christian foster-care homes. "We are taking care of close to 1,000 children a day and not getting one dime of tax money," said Ed MacClellan, director of the Florida Association of Christian Childcare Agencies. He is currently helping other states, including Indiana and Missouri, form similar accrediting associations. Back at Youth Reach Houston, wood chopping has replaced the log pile as the premium punishment. (Its "purpose" is to make firewood). One 17-year-old resident proudly showed WORLD his blistered hands after getting "the chops" for the eighth time that week. Rather than express resentment, he shared his revelation "that the pattern wasn't ending and I was going to get more chops ... so I just had to change my attitude. "It feels good when I get that last chop and it breaks and I'm done with my consequence," he said, "'cause you come back and it's a clean slate." Another boy-15-year-old Matthew Causey-openly laughed at the alternative punishment he received in a state-run home. "The worst punishment you could get was ... to stay in your room the rest of night," he said. "It wasn't a punishment-it was just 'Get away, you are annoying me.'" There's no getting away at Youth Reach. Loudspeakers are strategically posted on trees throughout the ranch, and bedroom doors can only be shut after 10 p.m. Constant supervision is made possible by on-site staff consisting of five married couples paid $200 a month (plus room and board). Though staff wages are low, payback comes in other ways: In August, recent Youth Reach graduate Brett Medlin, a former drug addict, stopped by to tell Mr. Williams about his new job as a medical technician. Last year "I wasn't working or going to school, my friends were dying and I thought that it would be easier for me to die than to try to get myself out of the hole," Mr. Medlin told WORLD. "Youth Reach was my last resort." He looked at the wooden fence by the Youth Reach home, with its tips carved into cresting waves. "I carved a decent bit of those," Mr. Medlin recalled. "I look at the fence now and I think, 'Wow, I had something to do with that.'"

UK Immigration Law
Ask an UK Immigration Law Question, Get an Answer ASAP!
Hi Tom, I represent a US-based company that is looking to place an employee in the UK to better serve their existing UK clients (as well as those in Europe and the Middle East) and, potentially, secure new clients. It looks like this employee meets all the criteria. However, I have three specific questions that, so far, I have been unable get answered by UK BA. I'm hoping you can help! 1) It's stated that the US company must "establish a commercial presence for the company in this country in the form of either a registered branch or a wholly owned subsidiary." What, exactly, constitutes a "registered branch"? Could a residential address be used for this purpose? The employee in question would be able to conduct the company's business from her residence, supporting clients by phone, e-mail and Web-connection -- as well as face-to-face meetings at the clients' sites. Also, what is the fee to register a branch? 2) What documentation, specifically, would the company need to provide to confirm the scope and nature of its business in the UK and/or Europe and the Middle East? Profit/loss statement? Articles of incorporation? Letters of confirmation from UK clients? How intrusive is this? 3) The fee to apply for this visa for the employee is 459 BP. The employee is married and will be moving with her spouse. As I understand it, he would be covered under the same visa. Would a separate application fee apply to him as well? Any light you can shed on this matter would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you for your prompt and on point answers to my questions. The information you have provided and referenced is extremely helpful and strongly suggests that a sole representative visa is likely to be granted -- though I realize there are never any guarantees with something like this.

The band, all aged around 21, are putting the finishing touches to their debut album release. It promises to be overflowing with more 'in your face' rock rumbles, influenced by teenaged years in curtain-clad bedrooms listening to Beatles and Beach Boys, New York Dolls and Television, as well as Chris' new ritual of 20 minutes of Bach every morning. But if the single is anything to go by, those 60s-psyche inspirations may be slightly overshadowed by the desire to create something more edgy, spiky, deafening and something that fits snugly into the indie rock of tomorrow.

text: I planned on camping out Friday night at Susquehanna State Park so I took off work and decided to drive down during the afternoon. I made plans to meet up with Dave Wheeler later on and ride the course to scout for obstacles and whatnot. That morning when I got up I noticed that the fridge was cracked open a few inches. Not an uncommon occurrence with a 9 and 11 year old. Before heading down in the afternoon I made myself a big@ss turkey sandwich on wheat. Yeah sure the turkey was a bit slimy (guess it didn�t stay cool in the fridge for some reason), but hey I was hungry. Race Site:I got down around 2:00 pm. I went to check out the water and it was a MESS! I�d have to say it was about the nastiest brown water I�ve ever seen. And yes there were chunks of timber floating about. There was no way they�d let us swim. Word came later after they tested for bacteria that it was WWWAY to high to let anybody swim. It measured 900 CRU�s. A maximum of no more than 200 CRU�s is needed to allow human contact. CRU: Crap Units. At least they called it early so we didn�t need to worry about it overnight. Pre-race Ride:Boy my head was pounding. As we�re riding we came to the low part of the course Route 222 that leads into downtown Port Deposit. If you looked left, at was now just a fast running stream, you could see the mud line on the over hanging tree limbs caused by the high flood water during all the recent rain. I would estimate that at that particular point we would have been in about 3 to 5 feet of water. Timbers where piled high on the right side of the road, I would have hated to be in that town during the rains.We finished the ride around 8:00 pm or so and I yacked my guts outs from my bad turkey sandwich earlier that day. I couldn�t even drive so I had to let Dave drive the Blaxima back to the campsite. I remember drinking some coke and falling into my tent. Next thing I remember it was 11:30 pm and I felt like a new man!Night Time Feeding:Dave had about 2 pounds of left over pasta and sauce and some chicken wings. There was no sense letting that go to waste, so I made short time of it. There was no need to make a trip to the dumpster as I ate the utensils and plates also! I was about to go on a Rambo hunt for some wild rabbit, luckily I don�t have a Rambo knife it could have gotten truly ugly! I finished the rest of my coke, turned over and called it a night.Race Day:I brewed some morning coffee at the campsite, ate a blow of cereal and we were ready to rollout out to the park. There were tons of familiar faces in the crowd. I really was feeling in tip top shape and couldn�t wait for the start. After a hard sprint warm up I was ready! BRING IT!The first run was easy and I felt like I held back. I ended up with a 6:40 pace for what ended up being 2.5 miles. I was pumped, it really didn�t feel like I pushed hard at all, the bike should be easy.Roadie: one who exclusively rides road only as their only physical activity, sometimes rather snobbish to more well rounded athletes such as us Triathletes.I was having sooo much fun being a Roadie after the Columbia Tri that I wanted to do this race without my aerobars. It was going to be Roadie Stylie all the way.OUCH, that first run did take some time to get over. I finally got my bike legs after about 3 miles. My cadence came up and I was feeling Roadie normal again. The hills where all mine today, but I was definitely losing time on the few flats without the aerobars. No big deal I was feeling great and having a great time. When we got to that sonofabitch they call a hill at mile 20 I was still feeling good. I scorched it! I sat and spun at about 90 rpms all the way to Mt Ararat Road. I passed all and left them in my wake. BOOYA! Yeah, I was feeling like a real Roadie nose in the air and all. ;-) (Hopefully I will be able to out run the Karma Police to the bike finish)As I dismounted at the bike finish I could feel the KP nipping at my calves. FU Karma Police I�m running now! Catch me if you can! The run started a bit slow 8 minute first mile. Then music to my ears came running by. I could hear his quick cadence and decided I�d stay on his heels for as long as I could. We immediately started passing other runners at very good rate. I was surprised that I wasn�t having any problems keeping his pace, and no more cramps (guess the KP couldn�t hang). My pace man had to take a potty break and that left me on my own for a bit, but then he passed me again and I held on once more to the finish. I finished with a 7:30 pace for the last run. Not bad at all and I�ll take it.Pace Times:1st run 2.5 at 6:40 paceBike 27 miles at 19.7 mph2nd run 5 mile at 7:30 paceTotal time 2:18:55It was a good day�..until Dave Wheeler told me he beat me on the bike leg by 5 friggin� seconds! Aaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrg! ;-)Enjoy the rest of the year all!JF

It's already been over three years since "Sex and the City 2" came out, but we still haven't lost hope! We're praying for another sequel!
It looks like our dreams just may come true.
Carrie Bradshaw, Samantha, Charlotte and Miranda may come together for a "Sex and the City" reunion!
Yes, you heard us right. "Sex and the City 3"? What more can we ask for?
Sarah Jessica Parker recently revealed in an interview for InStyle Magazine that she thinks there's still one last chapter to tell.
She dished, "But timing is a peculiar thing. It isn't a decision that can wait forever. I don't want to have to wear muumuus."
Kristen Davis even revealed, "I don't think a third film is a pipe dream, there is discussion. People talk about it amongst the people who are the players, but I don't know if it will come together. It would be very exciting if it did."
Unfortunately, not all the cast members agree. Cynthia Nixon admitted that it's best we all let go of the idea.
But don't worry! Despite what she says, we know there's still a possibility!
What do you guys think about a possible "Sex and the City" reunion? Make it pop or make it stop? Hit the comments below and tweet us @PopStopTV. I'm XiXi and thanks for watching PND! See you next time!

J. Cole is slated to celebrate the 5-year anniversary of his The Warm Up project.
MTV has announced that Cole is slated to celebrate the release with the network's Rap Fix program. "6/15 marks 5 yrs since @JColeNC dropped the #TheWarmUp. He and @RealSway are celebrating with a RapFix special. 7:30pm Sun on @MTVJam," the network series says in its Twitter post.
The mixtape, which is streaming on HipHopDX, was released in 2009. Cole spoke about the effort and how it compares with The Come Up during an interview with HipHopDX in 2010.
"I think The Come Up was way more raw [than The Warm Up]," Cole said at the time. "It's raw, just straight rappin'. I am just trying to prove I can really rap with anybody. I can hang with anybody. I was trying to keep up with the [Lil] Waynes and all that at that time. And then The Warm Up was more so me trying to show that I can put together an album and a body of work, something with songs, and a concept, and it flows, and a sequence that tells a story. So that's more like what The Warm Up was about. I think my style was more represented with The Warm Up. That's my style now."

text: I tried searching around here, but I couldn't find an answer, though I'm sure this must have been asked before. Is there an easy way to overlay a grid over an image in the gimp. I don't just mean the working grid, but one you can actually print out, for use as a battlemap. I get that you can just overlay grid paper of the right size, but what about maps of different sizes? Is there an easier or a more efficient way to do it than that? Might be a useful thing to sticky somewhere.

Wichita State's life expectancy
by Ken Pomeroy on Monday, December 23, 2013
If you ever want to feel invincible, I recommend checking out the life actuarial tables provided by the Social Security Administration. You can look up your age and figure out how many more years the average person at that age figures to live. According to the tables, at age 40 I can be expected to live 38 more years. That puts me at 78, at which point I would be expected to last nine more years. At 87, I'd have five more years left. You can see where this is going. I can repeat this exercise forever, or at least until the chart ends at age 119. That's at least 80 more years of complaining about rebound margin and field goal percentage. (No male has been verified to make it past 116, so take the data at 119 with a grain of salt.)
There are nine unbeatens remaining, but the only one with a realistic chance of making it to the end of the regular season without a loss is Wichita State. Even then, the real feat of ending the season perfect would include the conference and NCAA tournament, and in that case the chance of the Shockers running the table is almost zero.

Several years ago, colloidal preparations of thorium dioxide were introduced into medicine for use in radiography.1 Thorium is opaque to roentgen rays and throws a deep shadow in roentgenograms. It was found that thorium dioxide sol could be introduced into body cavities and even into the blood stream with little immediate deleterious effect. When injected into a vein, the particles are picked up by the reticulo-endothelial system, especially in the liver and spleen, where the material remains indefinitely; the compound thus serves to make these organs less penetrable to the x-rays. Other structures can be visualized by direct injection of thorium dioxide sol into their cavities; these include the cerebral ventricles, the urinary tract, the uterus and fallopian tubes and various accessible blood vessels.
The immediate utility of colloidal thorium dioxide preparations has tended to obscure an important characteristic of this substance: its radioactivity. Over four years ago the

Which Carleton classes have been your favorites? Why?
CGSC 130 "Introduction to Cognitive Science: How to Build a Mind" (taught by Roy Elveton). The course title reeled me in but it was the engaging readings and lectures that kept me hooked. This class was definitely a favorite of mine because I got to learn about an interdisciplinary field of science about which I initially knew very little. The final class assignment involved an open-ended research paper which was an opportunity to apply what we learned about cognitive science to any topic of our choosing.
Arabic here has been phenomenal. It's one of those things, like acting, that I just kind of picked up. "This seems kind of applicable," you know? I've kept up with it ever since. The professors and language programs are great here. I've heard from other people in other languages that they're so engaged and so much more thoughtful than at classes in bigger settings and bigger universities.
Hands down, Geology in the Field. I was loath to take the class, thinking rocks were boring, stagnant, and uninteresting. After taking the class, I think rocks are the coolest things ever (right up with Downton Abbey, chocolate chip cookies, and puppies) and our class is still very close; we enjoy reminiscing about falling into mud pits, finding fossils, and having dance parties during lab. Bottom line, geology rocks!

American Plastic: Boob Jobs, Credit Cards, and the Quest for Perfection

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0807000558, Hardcover)The riveting story of how cosmetic surgery and plastic money melted together to create a subprime mortgage crisis of the body
Plastic surgery has become "the answer" for many Americans, and in American Plastic sociologist Laurie Essig explores how we arrived at this particular solution. Over the last decade there has been a 465 percent increase in cosmetic work, and we now spend over $12 billion annually on procedures like liposuction, face-lifts, tummy tucks, and boob jobs. In this fascinating book, Essig argues that this transformation is the result of massive shifts in both our culture and our economy—a perfect storm of greed, desire, and technology.
Plastic is crucial to who we are as Americans, Essig observes. We not only pioneered plastic money but lead the world in our willingness to use it. It's estimated that 30 percent of plastic surgery patients earn less than $30,000 a year; another 41 percent earn less than $60,000. And since the average cost of cosmetic work is $8,000, a staggering 85 percent of patients assume debt to get work done. Using plastic surgery as a lens on better understanding our society, Essig shows how access to credit, medical advances, and the pressures from an image- and youth-obsessed culture have led to an unprecedented desire to "fix" ourselves.
