WWW Hearts
It's February: the time for chocolates, sappy cards, and tossing around the word "love." But we don't need a Hallmark holiday to profess our adoration for our favourite new clothes, accessories, and more--we have our monthly WWW Hearts story for that! From a duo of collaborations to an exciting TV show, today's edition features a variety of our latest obsessions. Read on for the rest of our picks and let us know what you're most looking forward to this month.
Marni Eau de Parfum ($105)
We perpetually fawn over Consuelo Castiglioni's runway creations at Marni, so naturally we were thrilled to hear the house is launching its first-ever fragrance. We got a preview of the perfume, which will be available later this month, and are delighted to report that our team is truly obsessed. The lovely scent fuses spicy notes, like cinnamon bark and cardamom, with cedar and a hint of rose, creating an entirely unique perfume that's bound to become a classic.
10 Crosby Clutches ($395 each)
Derek Lam's diffusion line, 10 Crosby, has consistently wowed us with its stylish wares, so naturally we're excited about the brand's handbag debut, which will be available at Moda Operandi and Revolve Clothing later this month. From the lizard-embossed clutches to the practical canvas tote, each carrier has "It" bag potential.
The Face
While we're always elated to present our latest fashion finds, we're equally excited to share our new reality TV obsession. This time around, it's Oxygen's The Face, which debuts on February 12th. The premise is simple-supermodels Naomi Campbell, Coco Rocha, and Karolina Kurkova coach three teams of aspiring models as they participate in photo shoots, runway shows, and commercials-but we have a feeling the process will be delightfully complicated...
GOLDSIGN for J.Crew Jenny Jeans ($218) in Ecru
These five-pocket cuffed jeans from the GOLDSIGN for J.Crew collaboration--available in select J.Crew stores now and on JCrew.com on February 27th--will undoubtedly be the newest addition to our denim wardrobes. The winter white hue is completely on-point now and will take you well through the warmer months too.
Loeffler Randall x Tucker Odile Oxfords ($195)
The combination of a celebrity-approved shoe designer (Loeffler Randall) plus a brand known for its perennially chic prints (Tucker) equals a sartorial equation we can get behind. We adore the collaboration's entire five-piece line, but the Odile Oxfords top our list. The eye-catching floral pattern instantly updates the classic shoe style, resulting in a modern-yet-timeless look we adore. For more about the collaboration, check out our exclusive Q&A with the designers on our blog.
Chanel Couture 2013 Runway
In addition to the elaborate forest-like stage and tulle-adorned eye makeup at the Chanel couture show in Paris late last month, the finale got everybody talking. Not one, but two ethereal brides strolled down the runway holding hands and with Hudson Kroenig-Lagerfeld's four-year-old godson-in tow. With France currently divided on the hot-button issue of gay marriage, Karl Lagerfeld's not-so-subtle statement couldn't be more timely or admirable.--Erin Fitzpatrick

2012 Salary and Job Satisfaction Survey: Salary Meltdown
Our 6th annual survey finds a retreat to 2008 levels.
Is America on the road to economic recovery?
Not according to our sixth annual Salary & Job Satisfaction Survey, which found an average salary of $95,546 across all categories of respondents. That's a 4.1 percent retreat from the $99,666 average tallied in 2011, putting industry salaries roughly at a level reported in 2008.
The 2011 Food Processing Salary Survey found income had rebounded 6.6 percent, making up for almost all of a 6.3 percent drop from 2009 to 2010 salary averages.
Job satisfaction linked minimally to the dollars. Predictably, those who were "very satisfied" with their job averaged $108,360, nearly $10,000 more than the next highest group, which was – surprise! – the "very dissatisfied" ($98,915). Interestingly, there was only a $223 difference between the average salaries of the "somewhat satisfied" ($95,023) and the "somewhat dissatisfied" ($94,800). So clearly there's more to job satisfaction than a fuller wallet.
Ambivalence was the killer. Those who were "neither satisfied nor dissatisfied" were farthest back in the salary pack with a $78,336 average.
Season of discontent
Of course, there's nothing like a salary cut – even a statistical one – to set a surly tone for a survey. Comments reflected widespread discontent.
"I got promoted (to Thermal Processing Authority) without a pay raise but was given much more work," rued one respondent, illustrating the oft-repeated "more work for less pay" theme.
"No pay raise or cost of living increase since my start date," said another.
Others lamented lost raises, benefits and bonuses with comments like: "unrealistic bonus plan"; "raises down last two years"; "salary not keeping pace with cost of living"; "medical benefits not affordable"; "hours cut"; and "lack of position advancement or suitable pay increase for five years."
Some feel they are pawns in a corporate chess match. "Concerned about outsourcing," worried one. Said another: "If employee qualifies for pension, he no longer qualifies for a 401k match; employer has stopped stock options."
Disappointment and frustration abound, but there's also a pervasive weariness, a sense that workers and companies are in economic limbo, not drowning but merely treading water – or stuck in a time warp.
"I feel that the company pay structure is based out of the 1980s," said another. "Many feel the same way."
Despite the grousing, the level of job satifaction is virtually unchanged from last year, with 61 percent in the "very satisfied" or "somewhat satisfied" categories (versus 63 percent last year). Perhaps more important: Those concerned about job security dropped a percentage point.
Worn down, worn out
Part of that weariness and ennui stems from widespread understaffing and continued long office/plant hours.
"Overworked, understaffed and under-compensated," summed one respondent, capturing three predominant survey themes.
A whopping 57 percent of respondents reported working 41-50 hours per week, while 21 percent said they work 51-60 hours per week and 5 percent claimed to put in 61 hours or more. Almost half (47 percent) are on call 24/7.
Are they paid for overtime? Only 9.6 percent are being paid for hours after 40.
Common were comments like: Too much responsibility; not enough resources to get things done right…Too many duties. Not able to complete each task 100 percent. Just getting by…Too much stress and demands from management…Unrealistic project schedules.
The 'union' factor and gender gap
A new question this year that brought an unsurprising answer involved whether unions raise overall pay levels. Our survey revealed that respondents from companies with unionized plants were paid higher salaries ($99,198 on average) than those with non-unionized facilities ($94,306).
But of our 194 respondents from companies with a union workforce, only 18 were actually union members. (Note: Keep in mind that unionized plants are more common among larger companies.)
The "gender gap" widened as salaries of surveyed women made a retrograde movement. Women averaged nearly 11 percent less than they reported last year – $76,234 compared to $85,290 in the 2011 results. However, two interesting footnotes: We had 2 percent more women return the survey this year (they accounted for 31 perent last year), and the only person in the whole response pool reporting a salary over $500,000 in 2012 was a woman.
For the record, men's pay was down, too, but only 1.6 percent – $104,834 against last year's $106,567.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. — The line to the best basketball camp in America, as its founder Rajon Rondo likes to call it, starts forming around 7:45 a.m., before the sun really starts cooking during the annual furnace of a southern summer.
Scores of boys and girls ages 6 through 16 don Celtics No. 9 jerseys and shirts, green socks, shorts, shoes, wristbands, and headbands. Around 8 a.m., the MidAmerica Sports Center, a large complex featuring five full-length basketball courts, opens its doors. An hour later, another day at Camp Rondo, now in its eighth year, begins.
The campers file onto the main court, where a large banner of Rondo dribbling a ball in a white Celtics jersey hangs behind a basket. Later that day, the real-life version walks in and children start chanting his name.
A mob forms, swallowing Rondo. He palms a ball in his catcher's mitt-sized hands, holding it above their heads as they jump, trying to reach it. He smiles and laughs. They all do.
"I don't know who enjoys this more, myself or the kids," Rondo said.
He shakes hands with almost everyone in the building, does Q&A sessions, hops in games, and chats with campers and parents that he's known for years, since he started the camp in his hometown the summer after his 2006-07 rookie season in Boston.
Numerous professional athletes hold sports camps, but all too often those athletes make one short appearance, only to sign autographs or take pictures.
Rondo, as usual, is different.
"Will we see you tomorrow?" campers ask as they head out after the daily session that ends at 4 p.m.
"I'll be here every day," Rondo tells them.
And he is.
His passion for working with youths is well known through his many charity efforts, which the NBA honored him for last December. He prefers to keep such events private, so many don't see that side of him.
But here, that passion is on full display.
"He just loves children," says Rondo's mother, Amber. "He loves being around them. It's just his nature."
Powerful attraction
Every session they've ever held has been a sellout, and 336 have paid the $225 entry fee to attend the five-day period that opened Monday, said Doug Bibby, the camp's director and Rondo's basketball coach at Eastern High School in Louisville.
They come from all over. Four families recently trekked from Alaska, Bibby said. Two more came from Albuquerque, five from California. They come from Philadelphia, Virginia, and all over New England.
"That's why I want to be here every day," Rondo said. "If you have kids coming from, say, Philadelphia, they didn't come to see me for one day. I try to come every day and show up and actually go on the court and speak to a lot of people."
Last summer, Rondo couldn't participate as much because he still was recovering from knee surgery. But he's typically as active as possible.
"I want to be able to play with the kids," Rondo said. "I like interacting with them. You know, rough them up a little bit, play a little one-on-one."
Ever the competitor, one of Rondo's favorite activities is joining losing teams mid-scrimmage so he can help lead a comeback.
"Yeah, if I can help them in time, I'll do it," he said. "If not, well, there's only so much I can do. The little guys over here, like the 6-year-olds, they're the best to have fun with, especially because we lower the rims and I get to dunk."
But Rondo and Bibby also consider the camp to be much more than a meet-and-greet with a big name, especially because of how far some travel to attend it.
"We owe them a good show," Bibby said. "We owe them everything we got."
As many as 30 counselors assist campers through drills that emphasize ball handling, passing, shooting, defense, post moves, physical fitness, and more, with everything regimented down to the minute.
"They learn a lot," Rondo said, adding that his staff deserves the bulk of the credit.
"It's not just come here, throw up a ball, and you play. Each day is different. They learn something every day."
Rondo added, proudly, "I think it's the best camp in America."
Bibby, a math teacher who once had Rondo in class, began one morning by stressing academics, the word of the day. Bibby also pointed out teamwork, citing the San Antonio Spurs' recent NBA Finals demolition of the Miami Heat.
"[The Spurs] might not have had the best athletes on the floor," Bibby said, "but they always had the best team."
He asked how many Celtics fans were in the crowd. Many cheered. He asked how many Rondo fans there were. Everyone cheered.
Then Bibby explained a chant that they would all learn, one patterned after Rondo's close friend Kevin Garnett. Campers were asked to beat their chest twice and then shout as loud as possible, just as the former Celtics icon always did to get hyped up.
"We call it the KG," Bibby said. Their roars echoed off the walls. After that, hours of drills and scrimmages began.
Parents often say their kids quickly fall asleep on the car ride home.
"They're wore out," Rondo said. "That says it was a good day."
Familiar faces
Rondo sometimes can carbon date campers' attendance based on their official camp shirts.
Some longtime returnees wear the Reebok gear the camp distributed back when that company was his sponsor; some wear Nike when it sponsored Rondo; and this year, many wore Anta, a Chinese sports apparel brand that teamed up with Rondo last year.
But there's something else.
"It's crazy — when I see their faces, I remember," Rondo said.
He paused after spotting someone.
"See that woman over there?" he said, pointing.
She's from Louisiana, he explained, where she does charity work with kids. She's been coming to the camp for years. She came to the Celtics' game in New Orleans last season.
"See that guy over there?" Rondo said, pointing toward a tall counselor.
He and Rondo have known each other since they were 8.
"I've got relationships with a lot of people here — a lot of people," Rondo said.
Family members run the registration desk — his fiancee, mother, brother, sister, cousins, others. Childhood friends are all around, many of them counselors who have helped out since the camp began.
Rondo has plans beyond basketball, and the camp plays a role in that.
"I want to run a couple businesses when I'm done. I want to employ a lot of people," Rondo said. "That's why I love doing my camps. We might have more [counselors] than we need, but it's still good."
The camp serves other, more personal, purposes, too.
"I didn't have a lot growing up as a kid, so I just try to give back," Rondo told the Globe late last season.
And he said that sentiment still drives him here.
"I humble myself by thinking about where I come from," he said.
And so he'll sit at the table near the door where campers will pass by on the way out with their parents. He shakes hands. He calls people by name.
"Will we see you tomorrow?" the campers say.
"I'll be here every day," Rondo says.Baxter Holmes can be reached at email@example.com. Follow him on Twitter @BaxterHolmes.

GAYLORD — Another $70 million federal grant will allow Merit Network, Inc. to construct a 1,210-mile fiberoptic network offering an "interstate" of broadband Internet service across Northern Michigan and the Upper Peninsula.
The project, titled REACH-3MC II (Rural, Education, Anchor, Community, Healthcare - Michigan Middle Mile Collaborative) is the second of its kind to earn Ann Arbor-based Merit Network federal funding to provide "middle-mile" broadband to the region. A $33 million federal grant was awarded in January to provide similar connections across Michigan (see related story for project descriptions). Both grants come from the National Telecommunications and Information Administration and are funded by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act.
Institutions including schools, hospitals and libraries will be connected as construction takes place next year. While it will not directly connect to homes and businesses, Merit Network president and CEO Don Welch said it will drastically reduce the costs to commercial Internet providers looking to serve those customers. Local providers can tie in to the connections once they're in place and have been tested.
"We're basically building an interstate to which local providers can connect and offer services," Welch said Tuesday morning. "It's really building a strong foundation known as the 'middle mile,' and we have commercial partners who can provide services to homes and businesses in the 'last mile.'"
Welch also said even customers in outlying areas, where high-speed Internet is currently unavailable, or available at "exorbitant cost," will likely benefit from this project.
"This will lower the cost for local providers looking to invest and build infrastructure to serve outlying areas," he said. "It will help expand service to areas where, before, there would be a lot more investment involved."
Partners in the Gaylord area include ACD.net, Lynx Network Group and Great Lakes Comnet, Inc.
The fiberoptic cables — bundles up to 2 inches thick containing 72 to 144 glass fibers — will run both on utility poles and underground and carry laser beams shooting through at different wavelengths. Each pair of strands can carry 40, 10-gigabyte connections, and Welch said just six strands could provide Gaylord with more bandwidth than it could consume today.
Once all cables are installed, Gaylord will be a crossroads of three individual cables, creating a redundancy in the system that no one accident, such as a line break, can disrupt.
Officials involved in the projects are expected to meet in October to discuss a construction timeline.
The $69 million grant was the sixth largest to be awarded nationally in August. A $102 million grant was awarded to the University of Arkansas System.

History of the Clan Gregor
By Amelia Georgiana Murray MacGregor, Clan Gregor Society
Duncan MacGregor, was the son of Gregor,and grandson of Duncan Ladosach, called Donach Abberach, from having been immediately after his father's murder carried into Lochaber by his mother's friends, as were his two brothers, to Athol and Stratherarn, by other relations, in order to save them from also being killed.
He was a stout man of very fine appearance, and soon acquired a reputaion all over the Highlands. Duncan Dubh, a churic, dreaded that this young hero would make him answer for the murder of his father and grandfather and take back the lands he had gained by these murders. He endeavored to reconcile with Duncan Abberach. Locheil influenced Duncan to accept the offer Duncan Dubh made of his father's lands and those of Corriecharmaig and Tomachrochair in Glenorchy. These two Duncans were sworn to inviolable friendship in the presence of Locheil and several other chiefs at a meetingg of the friends of both held for that purpose in the Braes of Glenurchy.
Duncan Abberach's first wife was named Christian, and was a daughter from the family of MacDonald of Keppoch. They had a son who died young.
He married 2nd, a daughter to MacFarlane descended from the Lennox and had three sons by her.
1. Patrick his successor
2. Robert (whom the History of the Clan Gregor,says was a man of rare martial genius)
3. Alpin who married and had issue
The above named History, says that the first mention of Duncan Abberach is in the record of forfeitures September 8, 1569. He found favor with the Earl of Argyle as seen in this Bond of Maintenance:
"1573, August 24...Be it kend till all men and sundrie to quhom it efferis we Archibald Erle ofArgyle Lord Campbell and Lord justice and chancellor of Scotland &a. to half resavit our louittis (lovites) Duncan Abbroche McGregor, Patrick McGregor, Allaster Skorinche ( )McGregor, Molcollum McGregor, Patrick Awilochi (Aulach) McGregor and Dougal McGregor the saidis Duncanis bredrene, thair airis and offspring in our manitenanc. And also in our airis protection and defence in all thair just and lesum materis aganis all maner of mane. the authorite of Scotland beand exceptit.

And giff ony hes to say to thayme for any thing that sall chance fra this farther to call thame or ony to the use of this realme witht certificatioune gif ony with intend againis thame or ony of thayme aplyable to the lawis. And willis thir presentis to be maid manifest in all placis neidfull Be this subscryvit with our hand at the Carrick the 14. day of Aug. 1573.

Luss Collection.
This Paper, quoted in the "Chartulary," after Mr. MacGregor Stirling's careful investigations among the Luss Papers, corroborates the names Patrick Aulach, and of Duncan's son Robert, as given in the "Baronage" many years before the existence of the Band was known.

Can you tell me the source or references for listing the 3 sons as sons of the unknown Ms MacFarlane, and not as the sons of Christian MacDonald?

Well, they don't ask how many, they ask how, right Rob?
Here's Rob Schremp with a great, highlight goal. This is only goal 3 of the season though. So as long as he keeps making them look pretty, then uhm… well, shit, I don't know. Just watch the damn video.
Btw, the ref is seen in the background waving it off, however the goal actually counted.

Tea & Justice
NYPD's 1st Asian Women Officers
A film by
Ermena Vinluan
2010, 55 minutes, Color, DVD
Order No. W101001
TEA & JUSTICE chronicles the experiences of three women who joined the New York Police Department during the 1980s—the first Asian women to become members of a force that was largely white and predominantly male. In this award-winning documentary, Officer Trish Ormsby and Detectives Agnes Chan and Christine Leung share their fascinating stories about careers and personal lives, as well as satisfactions and risks on the job, the stereotypes they defied, and how they persevered.
Intrigued by the image of Asian women in a non-traditional profession, filmmaker Ermena Vinluan explores her own mixed feelings about cops while honoring the challenges Ormsby, Chan and Leung embraced, and the far-reaching changes they helped bring about. Interviews with ordinary New Yorkers, leading advocates of law enforcement reform, and anti-police abuse activists consider proposed changes in police culture and explain how women's preventive policing style, based on communication, contrasts with more reactive, physically forceful methods used by men. Humorous cartoons, lively graphics depicting cultural icons of strong Asian women, and original music enhance this nuanced study of race, gender, and power.

SAO PAULO (Reuters) - Seven years a hostage to threats of violent demonstrations and crippling labor strikes, the World Cup broke free on Thursday when Brazil brought the tournament to life with Neymar scoring twice in a thrilling 3-1 win over Croatia.
It was far from vintage Brazil at times, impatient in possession and unsure in defense, but once they hit full stride they were impossible to resist - the inimitable Neymar and ebullient Oscar taking the game by the scruff of the neck.
After falling behind to an 11th minute own goal from unfortunate defender Marcelo, forward Neymar equalized with a terrific strike from outside the box before converting the softest of penalties late in the second half.
Midfielder Oscar capped an outstanding performance with a goal of true quality in stoppage time that sealed the three points for Brazil and brought an enormous roar of relief from the 62,103 crowd at Sao Paulo's Corinthians arena.
For 22-year-old Neymar, scoring twice on a night when the World Cup returned to the spiritual home of football was beyond his wildest dreams.
"I'm very happy, really happy indeed, more than I ever dreamed or imagined," the man of the match told reporters.
"We started off on the right foot, with a victory.
"The merit belongs to the team as a whole, which remained cool and calm to come from behind and win."
And how the home fans reveled in the win. A delirious, dancing sea of yellow hailing the victory as the first step towards a record-extending sixth World Cup title.
The buildup to this World Cup has been tarnished like no other, with simmering public anger over the $11 billion spent on construction projects while much of the country struggles to keep itself out of poverty boiling over on to Brazil's streets.
Scattered violent protests before the game were a reminder that many locals remain frustrated over the billions spent to host the tournament, but for 90 special minutes it was football's chance to shine.
In the wake of the embarrassing, hostile reception from fans at last year's Confederations Cup, Brazil President Dilma Rousseff and FIFA chief Sepp Blatter chose not to address the opening ceremony.
But the supporters made their feelings clear about the lack of investment in social infrastructure in Brazil, directing obscene chants at President Rousseff during the game and booing loudly when she was seen celebrating the goals on the stadium screens.
Winning the World Cup on hallowed, home soil would no doubt go some way to soothing some of Brazil's wounds and the Selecao are now six more wins away from achieving that.
Croatia clearly had not read the script and, after forward Ivica Olic headed narrowly wide, they took the lead in the 11th minute through Brazil's first ever World Cup own goal.
Olic's low cross from the left went through the legs of Brazil skipper Thiago Silva, clipped Nikica Jelavic's foot and bounced in off Marcelo with keeper Julio Cesar left helpless.
A moment's stunned silence was quickly replaced by chants of "Brazil! Brazil!" as the crowd pleaded with the home side to strike back quickly.
Inevitably it would be Neymar who answered their prayers.
He marked his 50th appearance for Brazil with a superb equalizer in the 29th minute, dragging a low shot into the corner of the net past the despairing dive of Stipe Pletikosa.
Neymar's 33rd international goal arrived in more controversial circumstances after Japanese referee Yuichi Nishimura awarded the home side a 71st-minute penalty.
Brazil striker Fred fell to the ground under the slightest contact from Dejan Lovren and, after Nishimura pointed to the spot, the referee was surrounded by furious Croatian players questioning the call.
Once the dust had settled, Neymar kept his cool to stroke the penalty home.
Croatia coach Niko Kovac warned that the World Cup could become a "circus" after Nishimura's decision.
"This was ridiculous today, and if we continue in this way we will have a circus," he told reporters at a post-match news conference dominated by questions about the spot kick.
"If that's a penalty, we don't need to play football any more. The lads played their hearts out but that was outright thuggery by a referee who was just out of his depth for a game of this magnitude."
Kovac's Brazil counterpart, Luiz Felipe Scolari, did not agree with his counterpart's thoughts on the contentious award.
"I'm not going to comment on what my colleague said. The only comment I can make is that Brazil has 5 World Cup titles. Those weren't five circuses in favor of Brazil.
"I perfectly understand my colleague's remarks, and I respect them ... But I don't see any favoring of Brazil in those five World Cup titles."
While debate about the penalty will continue long after Thursday's game, there was no doubting the class of Oscar's strike that wrapped up Brazil's win.
Bursting clear of the tiring Croatia defense in stoppage time, he toe-poked the ball home to seal Brazil's 10th successive victory and give them the perfect start to their World Cup campaign.

The Huntington Beach High boys' water polo team is off to a hot start in the 2012 season.
The Oilers won their sixth straight game to start the season by downing San Clemente, 12-5, Tuesday. They secured the win by outscoring the Tritons, 4-0, during the fourth quarter. Jovan Jeremic converted five of his nine shots to lead the Oilers in scoring and sophomore goalie Alex Wolf recorded 15 saves.
Before defeating San Clemente, Huntington traveled south for the Poway Tournament and won the three-day event. The Oilers took the title by defeating Granite Hills, 7-5, in Saturday's championship game.
Huntington had advanced to the final by knocking off Rancho Buena Vista, despite not having two of its top players — Jeremic and Scott Schultz — for the semifinal game. The two senior leaders were absent due to taking their ACT test, Coach Brian Anderson said.
The Oilers travel north Thursday to compete at the Santa Barbara Tournament. On Tuesday, they play a 3:15 p.m. nonleague match at Santa Margarita.

Cart is empty
Maximum learning efficiency is gained because you don't waste time wading through material you have already mastered. This allows you to focus on just the questions you don't know the answers to. And to make the project even easier, Flash Cards allow you to break up the learning task into smaller and more easily manageable segments.
- With Flash Cards, you receive immediate feedback!
Read the question, decide on an answer. Then flip the card over to check your answer. You will know immediately whether or not you have learned the material on that particular card. When you are confident about an answer, remove that card from the deck. As you see the stack get smaller, you'll know you're really making progress!
- Flash Cards encourage active learning!
Any time you can take part in the learning process, your mind is more engaged. The chance of you remembering what you just learned is much higher with active processes. The use of Flash Cards creates a highly active learning environment that surpasses reading or even listening in on a live lecture. With Flash and Pass you compete with yourself and turn learning into a game!

Disability Awareness Month
Congress designated each October as National Disability Employment Awareness Month (NDEAM). The Office of Disability Employment Policy has the lead in planning NDEAM activities and materials to increase the public's awareness of the contributions and skills of American workers with disabilities. Various programs carried out throughout the month also highlight the specific employment barriers that still need to be addressed and removed.
This effort to educate the American public about issues related to disability and employment actually began in 1945, when Congress enacted a law declaring the first week in October each year "National Employ the Physically Handicapped Week." In 1962, the word "physically" was removed to acknowledge the employment needs and contributions of individuals with all types of disabilities. In 1988, Congress expanded the week to a month and changed the name to "National Disability Employment Awareness Month."

Former NBA players Allen Iverson and Jason Williams have been added to a roster of a team coached by Hall of Famer Tiny Archibald that will play the 2012 Chinese Basketball Association's champion Beijing Ducks on Saturday in Beijing.
Iverson, an 11-time NBA All-Star, and Williams, who played on the Miami Heat's first NBA championship team in 2006, will play on a roster that includes Damon Jones, Charoy Bentley, Shane Burrell, Zendon Hamilton, J.R. Inman, J. R. Reid and Guy Dupuy.
"As basketball continues to grow on the global stage, these events hone in on our efforts to continually use the sport of basketball to break down cultural barriers around the globe," said Charles D. Smith, chairman and CEO of the Professional Basketball Alumni Association. "We are equally excited for the chance to play against some of China's best players. We will give fans an exciting game where they can cheer for their former basketball heroes."
Iverson, 37, the 2001 NBA MVP, would like to return to the NBA but has found no interest. He last played for the Philadelphia 76ers in 2010. China, he said, is another option, and this appearance will provide him further exposure in China.
"I definitely want to return to the NBA, but if I can't get back there, I'm hoping to play ball here," Iverson told Chinese media last month (transcribed by HoopsHype).
Iverson's willingness to play in China is partly because of Stephon Marbury's success there, according to china.org.sn. Marbury led the Ducks to the Chinese Basketball Association title in March, and Iverson faced Marbury and the Ducks in some exhibition games over the summer.
Williams was named to the NBA All-Rookie First Team in 1999 and went on to average 10.5 points and 5.9 assists per game over 13 seasons.

IBM ThinkPad X31
The IBM Thinkpad X31 is a wonderful little laptop which contains everything you need for your everyday work, and even some gaming, if you tweak things a little. The X31 is rock solid, light (3.7 lbs), and nowadays very cheap. The only drawback is the lack of internal optical drive.You can see the specs of the X31 on ThinkWiki, a wonderful resource with additional informations.
A basic Arch Linux installation will do just fine for about everything, so I won't talk about sound or other basic stuff. No custom kernel needed. However, you will need the following particular packages:
- Template:Package Official and Template:Package Official for wireless
- Template:Package Official for direct rendering (see above)
- Template:Package Official for hibernation (see above)
The following useful packages are in the AUR.
- Template:Package AUR for boosting direct rendering (see above)
To hibernate using pm-utils (tested with kernel 2.6.37), you have to adjust some screws of the default setup. Doing this, hibernation works flawlessly. You have to setup pm-utils first. If it's working out of the box, don't read further.
Don't forget to install radeontool from the AUR, as it's needed to turn off the lcd backlight.
If your X31 freezes during hibernation or just reboots instead of resume, when you power on again, this might help you:
Append the following to your kernel line in grub's config:
- nomodeset will turn off kernel modesetting, which tries to automatically handle the resolution during boot. Take a look at [1].
- acpi_sleep=nonvs is a workaround, see Pm-utils#Troubleshooting for detailed information.
Xorg and direct rendering
This section assumes the ATI Radeon Mobility M6 LY video card. This can be verified using:
$ lspci | grep Mobility
Here is a minimal Template:Filename, optimized for performance: Template:File
You can also overclock your graphic card. As far as I know, there is no real drawback, but you can play it safe and only use it while running a game or compiz or any application using your graphic card:
rovclock -c 220 -m 210
Use this command to get back to default settings:
rovclock -c 144 -m 144
If you want to enable it permanently, add the first command in xprofile.
If, on the contrary, you barely use your graphic card, you can lower both power usage and temperature slightly by underclocking your graphic card at boot by adding this command to xprofile:
rovclock -c 90 -m 100
Dual Screen
If you want to use an external screen for a presentation or as an extended desktop, you can use xrandr. For an extended desktop, you should first add one line in your Template:Filename configuration file in the Template:Codeline area:
SubSection "Display" Depth 24 Modes "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480" EndSubSection
SubSection "Display" Depth 24 Modes "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480" Virtual 2304 1024 EndSubSection
The numbers are the total rectangular resolution that you need to use. In this case, I'm using the internal 1024x768 screen and an external 1280x1024 screen on the right. The total resolution is 1024+1280=2304 pixels large and 1024>768=1024 pixels height.
Note that in 24 bits with this option, the performance is affected for 3D drawing, so you may need to comment it and use only one screen when you need the graphical power.
Then restart your X server. You can issue this command in a shell:
xrandr --output VGA-0 --right-of LVDS
To find the exact name of the monitors and the maximum resolution that you set up in the configuration file, you can type just Template:Codeline without arguments.
This will put your screen brightness to the minimum level when on battery and restore it to maximum when on ac power:
echo -e '#!/bin/bash\necho 0 > /sys/class/backlight/thinkpad_screen/brightness' > /etc/laptop-mode/batt-start/battscript chmod 0755 /etc/laptop-mode/batt-start/battscript echo -e '#!/bin/bash\necho 7 > /sys/class/backlight/thinkpad_screen/brightness' > /etc/laptop-mode/lm-ac-start/acscript chmod 0755 /etc/laptop-mode/lm-ac-start/acscript ln -s /etc/laptop-mode/lm-ac-start/acscript /etc/laptop-mode/onlm-ac-start/acscript
It will create scripts, executed by the laptop-mode daemon when switching the power source, that change the brightness of your screen using the thinkpad_acpi module.
The X31 CPUs can be undervolted, which means they will offer you the same performance, but with more battery life and a cooler laptop. From personal experience, my CPU temperature,during 100% activity, dropped by 15-20°C just by using this patch. This is extremely easy using the linux-phc patch, but only if you know the proper values to give the CPU. Informations on how to find them is available here or here. I know it can be hard to find your own values, so here is a table were you can indicate what are the good values for each of the X31 CPUs:
- Pentium-m 1600MHz : 34 26 18 12 8 5
Once you have your values, just run:
# echo VALUES > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/phc_vids
For example:
# echo 34 26 18 12 8 5 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/phc_vids
You can add this command to your Template:Filename to make the undervolting permanent.
Create the following file: Template:File
The three first lines put some of your devices in power-saving mode, respectively the USB ports, the wireless card and the sound card. Note that you need the last line in order to control your fan speed (see above).
To see additional sources of power drain, install powertop:
# pacman -S powertop
And run it while on battery power.
Hard drive dilemma
As set earlier, the hard drive is on a power-saving mode that can make it spin off and on often. It may reduce its lifetime. You can install the smartmontools package and issue this command:
# smartctl -A /dev/sda | grep Load_Cycle_Count
If the number is growing too fast, you might want to set off the powersaving mode by issuing:
# hdparm -B 254 /dev/sda
Put it in Template:Filename to modify it at boot time.
You can use a script from ThinkWiki to considerably lower your CPU temperature. Simply download it from here, rename it to Template:Filename, and run:
# chmod 0755 tp-fancontrol # mv tp-fancontrol /usr/bin
To run the script at each boot, add this line to your Template:Filename:
tp-fancontrol -d
Also, I suggest changing the first maximum temperature threshold (the CPU one) to 55. Just edit Template:Filename, the file is self-explanatory.
thinkpad_acpi and tp_smapi kernel modules
To make use of all hardware, use Tp_smapi and thinkpad_acpi. The former is in the AUR, thinkpad_acpi is merged into the kernel and has just to be loaded.
Have a look at Thinkwiki for scripts and tweaks:
If you have the Cisco neta504 wifi card, it's a bit tricky to use the wpa encryption with it. First, unload the airo and the airo_cs modules. remove the module airo from the kernel
# rmmod airo # rmmod airo_cs
blacklist the modules in Template:Filename.
then install ndiswrapper
# pacman -S ndiswrapper
download the neta504 driver for windows and unpack it (Be sure that you have unpacked the whole driver !) Then run :
# ndiswrapper -i /path/to/your/dir/netA504.inf
Save the ndiswrapper conf file :
# ndiswrapper -m # ndiswrapper -ma # ndiswrapper -mi
Now you can add to your kernel the module :
# modprobe ndiswrapper
and voilà ! I've tried this with wicd and it works flawlessly !
Audio keys
To have an on-screen Display for volume change or thinklight activation you can use Tpb: ThinkPad_OSD. The audio volume up/down keys will change audio volume independently from ALSA/OSS mixer. This works quite well, so try it out.
To enable the audio keys interfacing with ALSA, add:
event=ibm/hotkey HKEY 00000080 * action=/etc/acpi/soundkey.sh %e
to Template:Filename, create the following file and make it executable: Template:File
You'll also need to add:
echo enable,0xffffffff >/proc/acpi/ibm/hotkey
to Template:Filename or somewhere similar for the events to be recognized.

Also, both my foot and I survived our 11-hour shift today. I did not even collapse on the couch when I got home!

I can sympathize with you about the nausea, I would rather be in extreme pain than deal with nausea. I've spent a good deal of time plastered on the cold tile floor in front of the toilet so I won't have to go far. Birdie dragged her blanket into the bathroom and slept in the tub.
BTW - I found that pure peppermint tea with the tiniest touch of honey or stevia and old fashioned horehound candy really worked at keeping the nausea at a dull roar so I didn't have to take as much of the nasty medications up until the last few weeks.

Driving on the left side of the road, on roads that are barely two lanes wide, with NASTY pot holes makes travel quite difficult. I hit three or four very deep pot holes going about sixty and worried that I was going to end up with a flat. After a few hours of driving, we were headed back to the hotel, and the van behind me was driving very close and flashing his lights. Every time I looked in the rear view mirror, he jestured to pull over. It was freaking me out. I finally found a spot and pulled to the side. He did as well. And then he got out of his car.
I was pretty freaked out... then he walked up to Demo's side of the car and reached to open the door!! AAAHHHHHH!!!! As the door opened, he handed him the hubcap that had fallen off of the passenger side front tire about 5 miles earlier. He said "I'm sorry, you were probably wondering who was driving like a crazy person behind you, but you lost this back at the quarry." We thanked him profusely, and he got back in his car and headed back the other way - probably to town, which was about a mile back.
So, this total stranger saw us lose a hubcap, and not only stopped and got out of his van to get it, but followed us into town, and then towards our hotel to give it back to us. I have to admit I was floored.

Cardiac MRI Offers Powerful Diagnostic Tool for Heart Imaging
Cardiac MRI is a very powerful diagnostic tool and one of the most valuable techniques available to image the heart, says Samer Sayyed, MD, cardiologist at The Nebraska Medical Center and assistant professor of Internal Medicine at the University of Nebraska Medical Center (UNMC).
"Cardiac MRI goes beyond just analyzing the structure of the heart, but can also provide accurate quantitative assessment of bi-ventricular and valvular function, shunt fraction, myocardial perfusion, viability and scarring, as well as angiography of the pulmonary and systemic vasculature, all while avoiding the use of ionizing radiation or contrast agents that are toxic to the kidney," he says.
First line cardiac diagnostic studies generally involve an electrocardiogram and/or an echocardiogram. A cardiac MRI study is appropriate when other tests are inconclusive, or when additional information about a patient's cardiac condition is required to develop a more accurate diagnosis or management plan, notes Dr. Sayyed.
To get the most value from an MRI, the exact indication for ordering the test needs to be provided so the study can be tailored to effectively answer the clinical questions at hand, says Dr. Sayyed. "The study itself can take anywhere from 30 minutes to over an hour sometimes," he says, "therefore, time is of the essence, and it is not a test to be performed in emergency situations."
Some of the primary indications for cardiac MRI include:
- Assessment of cardiac structure and function when other techniques are insufficient or ineffective
- Evaluation of valvular structure and function
- Cardiac stress testing
- Assessment of myocardial viability prior to revascularization
- Ischemic and non-ischemic cardiomyopathy such as hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, sarcoidosis, amyloidosis, and hemochromatosis.
- Cardiac masses or thrombi
- Complex congenital heart disease
- Aortic and pulmonary angiography for aneurysms/dissection even for those who can't receive contrast
- Complex intra and extra cardiac shunts
- Arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia
- Pericardial disease such as acute pericardial inflammation and pericardial constriction
A comprehensive list of appropriate, uncertain, and inappropriate indications for cardiac MRI has been published by the Journal of the American College of Cardiology in 2006, says Dr. Sayyed.
It should also be noted that the contrast agents used for cardiac MRI are very different from those used for CT scans, says Dr. Sayyed. A CT scan uses an iodine-based agent whereas a cardiac MRI uses a gadolinium-based agent. The iodine agent can be toxic to the kidneys. The gadolinium-based agent, on the other hand, is not nephrotoxic and can be given to a larger group of patients, even those with moderate kidney disease. However, it should not be used on those patients with severe kidney disease. Even in those with a contraindication for contrast, there are ways to perform non-contrast enhanced MRI angiography with high image quality, notes Dr. Sayyed.
Because cardiac MRI uses magnetic fields, patients with implanted ferromagnetic material such as pacemakers, nerve stimulators or have a history of welding may not be eligible for this test. Obese and claustrophobic patients may also be unable to fit within the magnet, or tolerate being confined within its bore for the duration of the study. Despite these few limitations, MRI remains the gold standard noninvasive method of evaluating a wide array of cardiovascular diseases.

As you also might have heard, Supervisor Mirkarimi was scheduled yesterday (2/1/11) to introduce his proposition to block the sale of KUSF to the Board of Supervisors. He asked for a continuance of one week- this is a good thing.
Supervisor Mirkarimi addressing the crowd yesterday, photo by Gina JustGina
This is one week where we can accomplish some serious community organizing. The nub and thrust of the whole thing is to make it blatantly and unavoidably clear that the loss of KUSF is unpopular. The board will resume on Tuesday, February 8th to vote. In the meantime, take every step you can to voice your opinion to the Board of Supervisors, like:
1. Call and Keep Calling- If you don't know your district, check this district map. Then check here for the contact information of your Supervisor here. If you call during normal business hours, your call will be answered by your Supervisor, or an aid. Calling after they close is also effective, jamming up the voicemail can do wonders. Tell them, firmly, that you urge them to stand with Sup. Mirkarimi to block the sale of 90.3, and restore broadcast programming of KUSF.
If you are not registered to vote, call anyway. If you are registered in one district, but live in another, call both supervisors. If your Supervisor is Ross Mirkarimi, call Mark Farrel of D2. It's adjacent, and he's one of the more conservative leaning Supe's.
If you are not a San Francisco resident, but live within the broadcast radius of KUSF, you can still call- call all of them.
2. Email, Email All of Them- emails can also be found on the Board of Supervisors website. A succinct sample would be:
"Dear Supervisor ________, I urge you to vote in favor of Mirkarimi's proposition on Tuesday, February 8th. KUSF is a valuable community asset, and I wholly oppose it's sale. -Best Regards,
Write a separate email to Carmen Chu and ask her to show some leadership. She (like Farrel) is a likely candidate for blocking a unanimous vote.
3. Send a Letter- basically, do exactly the same thing as the email, but with physical, tangible, letters. Snail Mail is so antiquated, that it gives what you have to say that much more impact.
4. Sign the Petition- go to the Save KUSF website and sign the petition. No matter how informal, petitions are taken very seriously by sitting boards in this city.
5. Rally- My instincts tell me there will likely be a rally at City Hall, probably in the afternoon, of February 8th. These are the kinds of protests that really work, because from where the Board is sitting, they can hear the commotion outside. Check with Save KUSF for updates about an upcoming rally.
5. Sign Up For Public Comment- this is one of the more grueling steps. It involves getting to the board meeting before it starts, signing up for Public Comment, and drooling quietly while the Supe's deconstruct the most mind numbing intricacy of legislation you can imagine for the duration of the meeting, and then presenting an argument (lawyer style). But, if lots of people show up and do this, it makes a serious impact.
I've done all this stuff before, and I swear to you, it works. Around this time in 2009 there was a conflict about whether or not American Apparel could open up shop on Valencia and 21st under a Conditional Use Authorization, and directly violate 2006's mandate against formula retail on the street. I'm not going to go into the debate here, but I was on the "protect small businesses from corporate competitors, protect residents from rent inflation, and no they do not qualify for Conditional Use, I read the terms" side of the fence. It was harder in that instance to gain support; partly out of irony that hipsters were protesting American Apparel, and partly because people didn't really understand what our problem was. We had to do a lot of outreach, talk to a lot of people, and explain the precedents being set. In this way, KUSF should be a much easier cause to support.
Almost every business, and a huge number of residents, along Valencia organized petitions in their shops, and hung posters. Letter writing parties were organized, and a massive facebook movement broke out urging people to email, call, write, whatever. We solicited the support of Supervisor Campos, and then-Supervisor Dufty- which they granted us! By the time the hearing took place at the Planning Commission, it seemed like everyone you knew or had seen around from the Mission showed up to watch and speak (and we sat through all the boring stuff.... really, really boring stuff). Half the people who went up presented petitions they'd organized, many handwritten, and all taken very seriously by the Commission.
In the end, they ruled in our favor. But before they did, they made it abundantly clear that they did so because of the communities reaction. It is a basic qualification for these boards to uphold the will of the people, and if you use your voice, they are contractually obliged to listen.

Welcome to my blog and the place where I will post my photos and musings from my life as an ultrarunner. My nickname "Shining" was given to me by a group of very special students after I finished my first 100-miler, the Massanutten Mountain Trails 100. They were the inspiration that enabled me to finish this awesome race, and I try to live each day with a "shining" attitude!

Recovering from 100 miles
A crucial part of training for 100s and other ultras is the recovery process...not only during the training cycle, but also after the race. I think one reason I was successful at Gstone 100 this year was because I was smart with my recovery after long runs and hard runs. Now that I am in the post-race recovery stage, I have gotten a few emails asking me what I am going to do between now and Hellgate 100K, which will take place on Dec. 13, 10 weeks after Gstone. Here's my plan:
The week after Gstone, I took totally off. No running or lifting. I swam easy one day and walked my dog a few other days, but mostly I focused on sleeping, eating, and hanging with my family (yes, I had to go to work too). I found that I needed at least
9-10 hours of sleep that first week. My legs felt great and besides a teeny bit of ITB soreness, I had no lingering effects from the race, besides the usual endocrine system issues.
A week after Gstone (Oct. 11) I ran easy with my dog on trails for about an hour. I was tired! The next few days I ran about 5-6 miles easy and added a longer run mid-week (about 8 miles). All were run with my HR below 120, except one day when I ran a few miles at 7:40 pace with Bill as he was preparing for his marathon.
I read a good article in the latest issue of Runners World about how to recover from and train for a second marathon 4, 6, or 8 weeks after a first marathon. The article suggests taking a full week off, then running long runs up to 16 miles (if the races are 8 weeks apart) and marathon pace runs of 8 miles with 1 mile WU, 6 miles at MP, and 1 mile CD. Interesting...I think I'll give it a go, just in case I want to run Richmond Marathon on November 15, which is 6 weeks out of Gstone.
So this past Saturday, (October 18), I ran 8 miles with my friend Andrea, who was fresh off finishing third in the Masters USATF Cross Country Championships! This was an easy run for her, but I wanted to run 6 miles at 7:40 (marathon pace) and she helped me stay focused by using her GPS and calling out my splits. We were running on a hilly gravel road so I was working fairly hard, but overall I felt good.
Sunday (yesterday) I traveled up to DC to visit my dad and also ran about 20 easy miles in the Potomac Heritage 50K which is a signature VHTRC event, put on by my buddy Kerry Owens. I had a blast running on my old neighborhood trails and catching up with old friends---Mike Broderick, my pacer from MMT 100, was running his first ultra of 2008, and Mike Bur, a Last Great Race finisher from 2002, was running for the first time in a long time. Afterwards, we hung out at Kerry's and waited for the 50K finishers. Keith Knipling, who was third at Gstone, cruised in for the 50K win. That guy is a freak of nature who recovers really fast---don't try that at home! Here are pics of the PH trail from the 2005 event, from Kirstin Corris.
This week will be more easy running, a MP run on Friday and a long run on Sunday. And a shout out to my bro-in-law Andy Speidel, who finished his first 50K at the Stone Steps 50K in Cincinnati, and to longtime ultrarunner Bill Potts, who ran his first marathon at the Mt. Desert Island marathon in Maine. Wooo-hooo fellas! Great job at trying something out of your comfort zones!!!!

Thanks for the tips on recovery. After the VT100, my running strength did not come back until 6 weeks later, and it was a struggle. I tried to force it, and my body just was not ready, which ended in a hamstring injury.

Ok Sophie, I have to say...the photo on this entry is spectacular!
Did you take this? If you did, enlarge it and put it in a frame. If one were to look in a dictionary under "Trail Running," this photo should be there.
Thanks again for your encouragement.

Kirstin Corris took that beautiful shot back in 2005. I have always admired it and this post seemed like a good one in which to use it. I will be sure she sees your feedback!
Hey, are you gonna run the SW Ohio Ultra Series???

Away from the clutter of the town tucked amidst the lush green vicinity of 1.5 acres, a rare delight to experience your stay.
This homestay sits well in sync with its surrounding. The earthy colours and open spaces blend in beautifully and one is immediately transported to a peaceful environment. One can see Satya Kumar and his wife Kausalyaâs ingenuity through the house. Pillars that line the spacious verandah and the main door have been sourced from the famous Chettinad destination Karaikudi. These are a part of an illustrious past and acquired from an old âhaveliâ of the region. Even the green tiles have been specially bought from there. The soil stabilized bricks used for the house also make an impressive impact on the aesthetics of the house.
The Tulsi plant & a lamp at the facade of the house greet with you with warm Hindu hospitality. The most enigmatic part of the house is the central courtyard which emulates the slope of the erstwhile topography of the place. A naturally terraced garden runs in the middle of the house with rocks cradling a stream. A large tree also makes its way through the open roof. Choose a spot around the courtyard to watch the rain come down in the middle of the house during the monsoons. Well travelled and extremely hospitable, the couple make perfect hosts and one can spend a considerable time talking about various parts of the world. A keen cook himself, Satya compliments Kausalyaâs expertise in the kitchen. Be sure to ask him to prepare some continental food for you. If you are lucky and the resident hare has had his fill, you might be able to eat some treats from the vegetable garden.

Clarifications for the Curious:
-We may assume Jon is not still making his Chuck E. Cheese requests from yesterday, but making reservations at another restaurant for another date. The immediacy of placing the two strips next to each other might seem confusing, but Garfield tends to group running gags as close together as possible. This is not a technique utilized by many other strips, because it tends to draw attention to the format, and may indicate to the audience that the writer is idea-starved. Garfield, on the other hand, takes care to highlight its stock situations, which goes hand-in-hand with the strip's ongoing mission to provide variants on a narrow range of interests. This trait that does not go unappreciated by fans, as indicated by the nearly illiterate Wikipedia article (ugh) which attempts and fails to catalog these situations. The good news is that Jon is organizing another date, which means Liz wasn't put off by the robot mouse. Take that, Garfield!
-The "juice harp" Jon speaks of is chicken-speak neologism for Jew's harp. Jew's harp is not an antisemetic term, as far as etymologists know, though all the dictionaries I consulted (and followed by the presumed experts at the Jew's Harp Guild website) are unsure about the derivation. I can't fault Garfield for the editor-pleasing, nonconfrontational choice, but the uncommon terminology does confuse the gag a little. Why not just say "jaw harp", which is equally wrong, but more recognizable?
In any case, forget the poor romantic substitution of a Jew's harp for a violin, and Jon's dismay at how weird the world is: the real joke is that Jon turns to his cat to help him decide if he should accept the proposal. Garfield, either hoping to sabotage the date, or figuring it's going to be an evening of idiocy anyway, silently nudges Jon toward disaster. Leave it to Garfield to find a way to turn affirmation into a way of being negative.

Two men were injured June 16 while skydiving at the Laurel Airport.
According to the Delaware State Police, a 69-year-old Laurel man and a 52-year-old Beltsville, Md. man were skydiving together above the airport around 1:30 p.m. when their parachutes became entangled. Police said this prevented one parachute from fully deploying, causing the men to improperly land together.
Police said the Laurel man was transported by DSP helicopter to Christiana Hospital where he was treated for non-life threatening injuries. The Beltsville man was transported by ambulance to Peninsula Regional Medical Center in Salisbury, Md. where he was treated for minor injuries and released.
Police did not release the names of these men.
