Culinary world mourns death of Charlie Trotter
CHICAGO (AP) — Charlie Trotter had built a reputation so stellar that the culinary world still had high expectations for the famed chef after he closed his award-winning namesake Chicago restaurant last summer.
Trotter changed the way Americans viewed fine dining, and his restaurant put Chicago at the vanguard of the food world. Fellow celebrity chef Rick Bayless said it's sad the world will never get to see what Trotter would do next.
Trotter, 54, died Tuesday at a Chicago hospital after paramedics found him unresponsive at his home.
The Cook County Medical Examiner's office said an autopsy was planned Wednesday morning to determine the exact cause of death. A spokesman said a public statement was expected to be issued Wednesday afternoon.
Trotter's food was grounded in classical French technique, but blended seamlessly with Asian influences. He believed fervently in the power of simplicity and clean cooking, turning to simple vegetable purees and stocks — rather than heavy sauces — to deliver standup flavor in menus that changed daily.
He also was an early advocate of using seasonal and organic ingredients, as well as sustainably raised or caught meat and seafood.
Trotter was hospitalized in New York City this summer after having a seizure, close family friend and early Trotter mentor Norman Van Aken said Tuesday. Van Aken said he didn't know what caused the seizure, and it was unknown if that was related to his death.
Trotter's wife, Rochelle Trotter, on Tuesday expressed the family's shock at his death and appreciation for the many tributes pouring in from all quarters.
"He was much loved and words cannot describe how much he will be missed," she said in a statement. "... His impact upon American cuisine and the culinary world at large will always be remembered."
For decades, Trotter's name was synonymous with cutting-edge cuisine. He earned 10 James Beard Awards, wrote 10 cookbooks and in 1999 hosted his own public television series, "The Kitchen Sessions with Charlie Trotter."
His restaurant was credited with training dozens of top American chefs, including Grant Achatz and Graham Elliot.
"It was the beginning of the notion that America could have a real haute cuisine on par with Europe," said Anthony Bourdain. "That was what Charlie did."
Yet Trotter never went to culinary school. He grew up in the Chicago suburb of Wilmette and majored in political science at the University of Wisconsin, Madison. But an inspiring meal several years earlier had planted the desire to cook.
After graduation, he created a de facto apprenticeship, landing his first job at a restaurant in Chicago's North Shore area called Sinclair's, where he worked under now well-known chefs such as Van Aken and Carrie Nahabedian.
From there Trotter moved to restaurants in Florida, San Francisco and France, all the while eating widely and reading cookbooks voraciously. When he returned to the U.S. — and with financial backing from his family — he purchased a Victorian house in Chicago and opened Charlie Trotter's there in 1987.
"Charlie was a visionary, an unbelievable chef that brought American cuisine to new heights," Emeril Lagasse, a close friend of Trotter's, said in an email. "We have lost a tremendous human being and an incredible chef and restaurateur."
Trotter was gruff, exacting, demanding and a culinary genius. And for years, the restaurant was considered one of the best in the nation, earning two Michelin stars the first year the guide rated Chicago restaurants.
He also was giving. He created a charitable group that not only awarded culinary scholarships, but also brought disadvantaged children to his restaurant every week to teach them about fine dining.
But in time, the food world caught up with him. And food culture changed, with celebrity often trumping skill. It was a world to which he adapted poorly.
"The last few times I saw him were at food and wine festivals where people didn't recognize him. People did not acknowledge him for his incredibly important place in history," said Bourdain. "Back in Charlie's day, it was really the merit system. Being a great chef was enough. You didn't have to be lovable."
Meanwhile, chefs such as Achatz — of award-winning Chicago restaurants Alinea and Next — became so avant-garde, Trotter's menus seemed almost dated. And the very organic and seasonal philosophies he'd spearheaded had become commonplace.
In 2012 — and in keeping with his reputation for bold, unexpected moves — Trotter closed his iconic 120-seat restaurant. His plan? Return to college to study philosophy.
"The one thing it will do for me is let me wipe a certain slate clean. And while I'm studying and reading and applying myself to something else, if I decide to come back to the restaurant world, I think I'm going to bring a different perspective," he told The Associated Press in an interview last year.
"My hope is to really learn how to think very differently on the whole thing," he said.
Some might have thought the move from the restaurant world was too risky. Not Trotter.
"What's the worst that could happen? Life's too short. You may be on this planet for 80 years at best or who knows, but you can't just pedal around and do the same thing forever," he told the AP in 2012.

That's a nice observation, looks like he's watching over them like a dad over his children and their friends. Obviously, that's far from how the group actually feels and how their relations work, but you got the idea.
It's interesting to notice too how they all got along and kinda started liking each other, with Guts being the one that keeps them all there. Schierke sees as her destiny to be there, Farnese got hopeless until saw Guts as a chance to live another life, Serpico follows and protects Farnese and Isidro wants to be a strong fighter as Guts, whilst he only accepted them because of Casca's care. Now each of them care for all.
One detail I really enjoyed to see was how Guts' behaviour changed after he and Casca started their romance. He looks happier in a general way and much more foolish than before, which is not really his type, his heart softened. On Griffith's rescue he keeps being sarcastic with her even in such important and dangerous situation. For example, when he offers his hand being sarcastic, but she refuses right away and he makes a grumpy face like "ah, whatever", and then she holds Guts cape, making him smile. Beautiful moment.
That's the phrase I was probably looking for. Good catch.
True, and while the Band of the Hawk were centered around Griffith, Guts' party is centered around him, making them the closest friends he'd ever had.
Thought it was what you had in mind. Thinking about it, it's really the best way they can travel. All of them can feel safe with Guts on their backs, watching over, and he can keep Casca in his field of view, seeing she's safe, what must be very comforting taking in consideration their past struggles. Everything fitting it's place.
I wouldn't say so, Griffith would be in that position. He didn't consider Guts, Casca and the Hawks enough to not sacrifice them, but still Griffith seems the deepest friendship guts had and vise versa (considering Griffith's monologues about Guts).You could, however, say none of his friends now would do that, but it's not so simple. Isidro already tried to take advantage over him 2 or 3 times, Serpico only stays for Farnese, Farnese doesn't quite like Casca (does in some way, but shows envy). Besides Casca in her normal state, Schierke is his best friend. Her maturity at a low age gives her some great attitudes and there's no reason for her to dislike Guts, he's the one who understands her pain.
Perhaps I could have worded my post better. I was not comparing Guts' relationship to his group with Griffith's relationship with the Band of the Hawk. I was comparing the former to Guts' relationship with the Band of the Hawk. And since Guts' current party is centered around him, they are a tighter group and closer to Guts than the Band of the Hawk members were in the past. Also note that I am here speaking of Guts friends and how close they are to him collectively, not individually. Also, while their companionship might have begun as you described, I think Guts' group has long moved past that.
I personally like how, whenever we see Guts traveling with his companions, he (generally speaking) walks behind them. I'm not sure I can put my finger on why I like seeing this.
You could, however, say none of his friends now would do that, but it's not so simple.

Besides Casca in her normal state, Schierke is his best friend. Her maturity at a low age gives her some great attitudes and there's no reason for her to dislike Guts, he's the one who understands her pain
Maybe his friends now have a tighter relation towards him, because each got their reasons to be specifically with him, but he doesn't feel the same. He cares for them in some degree, they all went on trouble together already, but there's isn't really a reason to stay with them rather than protect Casca.
His actual friends wouldn't make this impact if something of that sort happened.
Guts has already shown this not to be true. In Vritannis, he called them his family. He also went out of his way to get Farnese (and Serpico) back with them, and while he explained it all away dismissively, it's pretty clear there's affection between all of them. The truth is, it's just a different kind of relationship from the one he had with the Band of the Falcon. They were comrades in arms, whereas this group is more like, well, a family.I think you're wrong. Look at volume 26, after the group comes back to Enoch from the Qliphoth. That's when Guts realizes that he's found friends again.
That is all true, can't realize how I could forget. Maybe because I've only been reading the first arcs recently, so I did a bit harsh judgment. And also as shown by Vixen Comics and Lawliet, I mostly based myself on the beginning of their relations, which have dramatically changed already. My point is disproved
Here's an item of no small importance, capable of summoning great cosmic horrors, and it's treated in this hilarious way.
It starts right with its introduction, too, and has never stopped since. I especially like their antics during the fight against the Slug Count.

A Westlake Village woman has been identified as one of the victims killed in Friday's shooting rampage near UC Santa Barbara.
Veronika Weiss, 19 and a graduate of Westlake High School, was one of six shot and killed, according to published reports. Seven others were wounded.
Police have not released any of the victims' names, but Weiss' friends expressed grief over her loss on social media.
"My heart goes out to the family of Veronika Weiss," wrote Chad Scott on Twitter. "Veronika was a Westlake graduate killed in yesterday's UCSB shooting. Rest in peace."
Weiss was in her first year at the University. She was a member of the Westlake girls' water polo team, according to published reports.

One of the local events that marks fall for me is the National Book Festival when famous writers (some super duper famous and others only semi-well know) come to the Mall to talk about and read from their works. And this year it's not one but TWO days, September 24 and 25. Yay reading!
This is the eleventh year of the festival, which is organized by the Library of Congress. Some of the better known names this year are Sarah Vowell, Toni Morrison, David McCullough, Michael Cunningham and Julianne Moore (apparently she "writes" children's books). You can find a complete list here.
Each author gives a presentation and also does a book signing (not consecutively). There are multiple pavilions that are set up on the Mall (last year it was on the side closer to the Capitol).
If there is someone you absolutely have to hear speak, then I recommend arriving early, probably half way through the speaker before him/her. It does get to be standing room only (though people are always coming and going). Well over 100,000 people attend the event, but since it's spread out throughout the day, the crowds are generally manageable. Same with the Metro—more crowded but not like when everyone is leaving an event at the same time.
In past years they've given out reusable tote bags, but don't get too excited because, as you know, these are tight times and tote bags might not have been in the budget this year.
If you miss an author you really wanted to hear speak, not to worry! The Library of Congress posts all of the presentations to the website.
Note: George Mason University in conjunction with the City of Fairfax also has a book festival during this time (September 18-23) though with seemingly no connection to the National Book Festival. It's called Fall for the Book and attracts some big names too (this year Stephen King and Amy Tan are speaking).

Dan Zlotnick was in the right place at the right time.
Zlotnick, a Northern Westchester resident, snagged Aaron Judge's 50th home run Monday at Yankee Stadium, which set a new record for most home runs by a rookie.
"So I just caught Aaron Judge's 50th home run ball," Zlotnick tweeted. "Woah."
Zlotnick is no stranger to the baseball diamond. He was a star pitcher for Somers High School, which won three straight Section 1 championships, throwing shutouts in consecutive championship games. He is currently an assistant coach for the varsity baseball team.
The ball caromed off a seat and went into the Zlotnick's section in the outfield. A scrum ensued for the ball which soon rolled right to where Zlotnick was standing and he effortlessly picked it up
After catching the ball, Zlotnick got a chance to meet Judge and give him his memento in exchange for signed balls and bats.
"For those wondering if I will sell Aaron Judge 's 50th HR ball, absolutely not," Zlotnick tweeted. "It's his. Congratulations to him. Aaron Judge is a great guy, and I got mighty lucky."
When he's not catching baseballs, Zlotnick is an acoustic folk-rock based musician who performs in New York City and throughout the Hudson Valley. To hear some of his music, click here .

Those of you who are interested in nanotechnology and popular culture/risk perception might want to check out the most recent episode of the CBS program Eleventh Hour (title: "Electro"). The show features a scientist who works with the FBI to solve emerging health crises using scientific logic to find the source every week (think McGuyver meets CSI meets X-Files).
This past week's episode featured a slew of Massachusetts residents who were getting hit by lightening well above what we'd expect by chance alone. The source of the problem was traced to a fictional company working on "nanofilaments" that were found to be growing throughout people's skin and therefore making them more conductive. This is the most pronounced discussion I've seen on prime time thus far.
You can view the full episode here at the CBS web site.

Hoping to get a jump on its rivals, Nokia announced early Tuesday that it will be rolling out a tablet running the Windows operating system and two smartphones with whopping 6-inch screens.
The Finnish phone maker also said that popular apps Instagram and Vine will be arriving on the Windows Phone operating system.
Nokia introduced the Lumia 2520, a 10.1-inch tablet running Windows RT 8.1 software, just hours ahead of Microsoft's Surface 2 tablets going on sale in stores and Apple's press event in which new iPad tablets are expected to be announced.
The Nokia tablet features a 1080p HD screen and a 6.7-megapixel rear camera and uses a 2.2-GHz quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 processor. The new tablet will be 4G LTE-compatible and come in red, white, cyan and black options.
Nokia said the Lumia 2520 will release before the end of the year and cost $499. The Lumia 2520 is significant as this is Nokia's first tablet running Microsoft's software. So far though, Windows RT -- a light version of the Windows operating system -- has failed to catch on.
Nokia also introduced the Lumia 1520, a 6-inch 1080p HD screen smartphone with a 20-megapixel camera. The company has focused on rolling out phones with ultra-high megapixel cameras that can take pictures from a distance without degrading their resolution.
The device also runs on a 2.2-GHz quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 processor and comes in yellow, white, black and red.
The Lumia 1520 is Nokia's largest Lumia phone yet, and it appears to signal the company is making a strong push into Asian markets, where smartphones with screens larger than 5 inches have proven to be popular.
Nokia said the Lumia 1520 will be available in the U.S. later this year and will cost $749 before taxes and carrier subsidies.
The company also announced another 6-inch smartphone, the Lumia 1320, that will cost less than the Lumia 1520. However, Nokia did not announce any plans to release the Lumia 1320 in the U.S.
Existing Windows Phone users will also be happy to learn that both Instagram and Vine will be coming to the Windows Phone operating system in the next few weeks.
Instagram and Vine are two of the most popular camera apps available for Apple iOS and Android devices, but until now, they have been some of the top apps missing from Windows Phone.
That's put customers interested in buying Nokia phones in a tough spot. Although Nokia offers some of the best smartphones cameras, such as the 41-megapixel camera on the Lumia 1020, they lack many of the top camera apps.
With Instagram and Vine heading to Windows Phone soon, one of the biggest issues with Nokia Lumia devices appears to have been fixed.

Captain Riley refers in her speeches to a document which, as she asserted on one occasion, "I think ought to literally shock you into hopefully understanding that we are involved in something that is much, much bigger than us. This is a demonic activity that is so large, and so encompassing, and hopefully you will never forget the time that you saw this document. Because I've had people contacting me from all over the world wanting to get this. They've only heard that it exists, and they've tried to find it." She continued to describe the document as "one of the most shocking things that I ever saw," and claimed that "a gentleman from the British Broadcasting Company, BBC, was over here for awhile, and I told him that I had this document. I said, 'I can show you something that is going to literally shake you to the rafters.' And I said, 'I want you to know that this is an official government document, and it exists.' And I told him what it was--what I thought it was--and he said, 'I don't believe it. I don't believe you have it.' He sat down. I said, 'Read this.' And when he finished, he was gray. He was absolutely shaken when he saw this. And he left, and said, 'I wish I'd never seen this.'" [2] She told another audience, "I want you to remember this as long as you live. This ought to be like the day Kennedy died," and asserted: "This document to me I believe to be the origination of the appropriation of the money to make the AIDS virus." [3]
The "document" which has become centerpiece of Riley's lectures is a page from a 1969 hearing on Fiscal 1970 appropriations for the Defense Department, conducted by the Subcommittee on Department of Defense Appropriations of the House Committee on Appropriations. Photocopies of the cover of the printed hearing, and the controversial page which Riley cites (page 129), are attached to this memo. The underscoring and other markings were on the copy we received. Note that "HB 15090" has been penned-in on the cover page. Whomever did so was unfamiliar with federal nomenclature, as there is no such bill. House bills at the federal level are designated "H.R." (for "House of Representatives"). The bill number was actually H.R. 15090. It was introduced on December 3, 1969, approved by the House five days later, and by the Senate on December 15th. It was signed into law by President Nixon on December 29th as Public Law 91-171.
Here is how Riley describes the document (bear in mind that it is only a page from a hearing transcript, not a bill):
This is an appropriations hearing of 1970 for the Department of Defense. It is House Bill [sic] 15090....I want you to see that the Department of Defense appropriated [sic] $10 million in 1970 to make a synthetic biological agent. Ask yourself why the Department of Defense needs this kind of an agent.
There are two things about the biological agent field I would like to mention. One is the possibility of technological surprise. It says that they believe that "within a period of 5 to 10 years, it would be possible to produce a synthetic biological agent, an agent that does not naturally exist and for which no natural immunity could have been acquired."
What does that sound like to you? Can you believe that this is actually a House bill, 15090. Why does the DOD need to make something like this?
It goes on down here to say, "within the next 5 to 10 years, it would probably be possible to make a new effective microorganism which could differ in certain important aspects from any known disease-causing organism. Most important of these is that it might be refractory"--damaging--"to the immunological and therapeutic processes upon which we depend to maintain our relative freedom from infectious disease."
Basically it is saying it will destroy the immune system. 1970 was when this was appropriated. 1975 is the first recorded AIDS-related death [sic; see "'NEW' DISEASES" below]. And it's perfect timing for this.
"A research program to explore the feasibility could be completed in approximately five years at a cost of $10 million."
Now, look at this part down here. This scares me. "It is a highly controversial issue and there are many who believe such research should not be undertaken lest it lead to yet another method of massive killing of large populations."
That is in your government documentation. [3]
Captain Riley does not misquote the hearing record, but she takes it out of context. The discussion was clearly focused on whether or not a research program should be instigated to provide the U.S. a method of defense in the event that some other country were to develop a deadly and impervious "synthetic biological agent." In her speeches, she does not quote the pertinent segment of the final paragraph of the information supplied to the subcommittee, which states: "On the other hand, without the sure scientific knowledge that such a weapon is possible, and an understanding of the ways it could be done, there is little that can be done to devise defensive measures. Should an enemy develop it there is little doubt that this is an important area of potential military technological inferiority in which there is no adequate research program." [7]
Captain Riley claims that $10 million was actually appropriated for the suggested research, but there is no mention of such an appropriation in Public Law 91-171. There is, however, a general provision for an emergency defense fund "to be used upon determination by the Secretary of Defense that such funds can be wisely, profitably, and practically used in the interest of national defense," [8] under which the suggested funding could conceivably have been provided. Riley claims that "through a FOIA [Freedom of Information Act] request it was determined that, yes, this was appropriated--$10 million was appropriated. A virus was made. However, they will not give us the name of the virus." [4] Strangely, however, she does not document that claim with, for instance, photocopies of the pertinent FOIA documents (assuming that they exist). And in any event, if money was indeed spent on the proposed research, there is no reason to believe, based on the documentation Captain Riley does present, that it was for anything other than to find a way to defend the United States against a deadly biological agent that might be developed by some other country.
for what it's worth scientists have tracked the outbreak to the late 1960s and a group of sailors that visited africa...
Four of the earliest known instances of HIV infection are as follows:
1) A plasma sample taken in 1959 from an adult male living in what is now the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
2) A lymph node sample taken in 1960 from an adult female, also from the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
3) HIV found in tissue samples from an American teenager who died in St. Louis in 1969.
4) HIV found in tissue samples from a Norwegian sailor who died around 1976.
A 1998 analysis of the plasma sample from 1959 suggested that HIV-1 was introduced into humans around the 1940s or the early 1950s.
In January 2000, the results of a new study suggested that the first case of HIV-1 infection occurred around 1931 in West Africa. This estimate (which had a 15 year margin of error) was based on a complex computer model of HIV's evolution.
However, a study in 2008 dated the origin of HIV to between 1884 and 1924, much earlier than previous estimates. The researchers compared the viral sequence from 1959 (the oldest known HIV-1 specimen) to the newly discovered sequence from 1960. They found a significant genetic difference between them, demonstrating diversification of HIV-1 occurred long before the AIDS pandemic was recognised.
The authors suggest a long history of the virus in Africa and call Kinshasa the "epicentre of the HIV/AIDS pandemic" in West Africa. They propose the early spread of HIV was concurrent with the development of colonial cities, in which crowding of people increased opportunities for transmission. If accurate, these findings imply that HIV existed before many scenarios (such as the OPV and conspiracy theories) suggest.

A report released last week by a coalition of environmental and public health groups found that many children's nap mats used in daycare centers and preschools contain hazardous chemicals linked to cancer and other health problems.
The report, Naptime Nightmares?, looked at 24 nap mats purchased at major retailers such as Target and Babies R Us in seven states, including Massachusetts. Vermont and Connecticut. The mats were tested by Heather Stapleton, a Duke University researcher and expert on flame retardants, who found that while only 11 of the mats were labeled as flame resistant, 22 of them contained at least one flame-retardant chemical. Nineteen of the mats contained more than one flame retardant.
Mounting scientific research warns of the health risks posed by those chemicals. "The flame retardant chemicals found in the nap mats, which are used in daycares nationwide, have been linked to cancer, genetic damage, impacts on fertility and reproductive health, allergies, hormone disruption, and other serious health problems," the Alliance for a Healthy Tomorrow and the Center for Environmental Health, the groups behind the study, said in an announcement of its findings.
Eighteen of the mats tested contained triphenyl phosphate, or TPP, which has been linked to reproductive and neurological problems in animal studies. Nine contained TDCPP, or chlorinated Tris, a known carcinogen that was actually banned by the Consumer Product Safety Commission from use in kids' pajamas in 1977 but still shows up in many consumer products.
Last year, the Chicago Tribune ran an investigative series that criticized the chemical industry for pushing the use of dangerous flame-retardant chemicals in consumer products—chemicals that CPSC tests found failed to "provide any significant protection" when used in foam in products such as furniture. The series prompted considerable backlash against use of the chemicals, including a Senate hearing. Last week, following the release of the nap-mat report, a group of 23 senators, including Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren and acting Sen. Mo Cowan, called on the Environmental Protection Agency to examine the health effects and effectiveness of flame retardants.
On the state level, Massachusetts legislators have filed "An Act for Health Families and Businesses," which would address the use of harmful chemicals in consumer products on a broader level. The bill calls for a system to evaluate the safety of individual chemicals and find safer alternatives for harmful ones where feasible. The program would be paid for by a fee imposed on manufacturers and would provide technical and financial assistance to help companies make the switch.
This is the sixth time the proposal has been filed in the Legislature, noted Elizabeth Saunders, Massachusetts state director of Clean Water Action, a member of the Alliance for a Healthy Tomorrow. (See "Legislating Toxicity," July 9, 2009) During the last legislative session, the bill received a favorable report from the Committee on Environment, Natural Resources and Agriculture but died in the Senate Ways and Means Committee. The new version of the bill, Saunders noted, tightens its focus on consumer products, as opposed to industrial chemical use.
Saunders expects the new bill, like previous iterations, will meet with industry resistance, although she's encouraged by the number of legislators who've signed on as co-sponsors. That list includes, from the Valley, Reps. Denise Andrews (D-Orange), Brian Ashe (D-Longmeadow), Peter Kocot (D-Northampton), Stephen Kulik (D-Worthington), John Scibak (D-South Hadley), Ellen Story (D-Amherst), Benjamin Swan (D-Springfield) and Aaron Vega (D-Holyoke), and Sens. Stan Rosenberg (D-Amherst) and Jim Welch (D-West Springfield).•

By Shawn Langlois
After what has felt like an interminable slog, there seems to be a relative Sharknado forming over this market. That's right — high winds, flying sharks and finally some trading action.
The ECB got it started yesterday, and the jobs report looks to be kicking it up a notch this morning.
Our call of the day suggests that this rally is about to end in with a nasty boom. We'll be lucky to escape with a 10% drop in the next few weeks. Why? Because the insanely overbought Dow Jones Transportation index tell us so. And that indicator (see below) has been perfect for more than a century.
Of course, that's like Pat Summerall saying Gary Anderson hasn't missed a field goal in two years, right before he misses his first field goal in two years.
Just to even it out, Ed Yardeni will see your Transports red flag and raise you a green light from the "misery" index, which is the sum of the unemployment rate and the inflation rate. As you can see by the chart, it usually peaks at the start of a bull market and craters at the start of bear markets. Japan hasn't been this miserable since 1981, but we're fat and happy here in the States. Mostly fat. But happy, too.
Yardeni says we're going to stay that way, as far as this rally is concerned.
"That cycle is mostly attributable to the similar cycle in the unemployment rate," he wrote. "The unemployment rate was 6.3% during April. I expect that it will fall to 5.5% by mid-2015. That should keep the bull running for another year at least."
Key market gauges: Futures on the Dow /quotes/zigman/17899764/realtime YMM4 and the S&P /quotes/zigman/20258906/realtime ESM4 are both moving modestly higher, adding to yesterday's gains, as the next piece of the economic-recovery puzzle spurs traders. Asia /quotes/zigman/6959860/realtime XX:ADOW didn't get much of a push, while Europe /quotes/zigman/2380150/realtime XX:SXXP is successfully (at least until payrolls) building on the prior session's advance.
The quote of the day: "Those who benefit from this crony-capitalist state go to extreme lengths to paper over the reality and convince Americans that the system works, the American Dream is still a reality and that American democracy is in fact democratic." — Y. Falkson, on the Of Two Minds blog.
The economy: Jobs data came in almost bang on expectations, with May nonfarm payrolls up 217,000 versus expectations of 210,000 and the employment rate held steady at 6.3%. Clearly the prior-day ECB easing extravaganza was better.
Earnings: Diamond Foods /quotes/zigman/96355/delayed /quotes/nls/dmnd DMND , Rally Software /quotes/zigman/14620598/delayed /quotes/nls/raly RALY and SeaChange /quotes/zigman/61623/delayed /quotes/nls/seac SEAC are all getting beaten up pretty badly in premarket, trading on a trio of disappointing quarterly results. VeriFone /quotes/zigman/365296/delayed /quotes/nls/pay PAY , however, is the one outlier, with shares moving higher on an upbeat report.
Vodafone /quotes/zigman/29728828/delayed /quotes/nls/vod VOD /quotes/zigman/29536547/realtime UK:VOD says it allows lots of foreign governments to tap its phones. Shares are up. Go figure.
The buzz: GM /quotes/zigman/1466682/delayed /quotes/nls/gm GM shares have held up all right, but the company is a mess. The "pattern of incompetence and neglect" has led to the dismissal of 15 executive types, and we haven't heard the last of it. More recalls are probably on the way.
Hertz /quotes/zigman/439823/delayed /quotes/nls/htz HTZ is getting hit hard in premarket over account errors.
The chart of the day: Greg Harmon of Dragonfly Capital isn't quite ready to fire up a Facebook /quotes/zigman/9962609/delayed /quotes/nls/fb FB account of his own — like teens these days, he's probably more of an Instagram type — but his finger is on the trigger in terms of buying the stock. The bullish cup-and-handle setup shown here points to a potential revisiting of the $72 level from earlier this year. "The far right of that Cup shows a building of higher lows and a the current consolidation near the trigger at 64.25," he said. "A move over that and a trip back to the March highs is in the cards."
The call of the day: The guys over at the ReadTheTicker.com blog say this indicator is a slam-dunk, "100% successful" warning sign of an upcoming market drop. Basically, whenever the Dow Jones Transports /quotes/zigman/627450/realtime DJT touches the top of the channel, boom, a blow-off happens shortly thereafter.
"It is safe to say that within the next 12 weeks, a 10% price adjustment is very, very likely," they said, adding it may be much worse considering the "screaming massive P/Es" for the Russell /quotes/zigman/2759624/realtime RUT and the Nasdaq /quotes/zigman/12633936/realtime COMP . "Traders are the same in 2014 or 1900, they have GREEN on the screen and soon they will turn this GREEN into CASH. Profit-taking on huge winners is an easy market call."

U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission
Federal Agency Alleged Thai Farm Workers Were Subjected to Discrimination on Hawaii Farm
LOS ANGELES -- Del Monte Fresh Produce, one of the country's leading producers of fresh fruit and vegetables, has agreed to settle a discrimination lawsuit filed in Hawaii against its Hawaii subsidiary by the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), the federal agency announced today.
As part of the settlement, Del Monte Fresh Produce will pay $1.2 million to be distributed to the Thai claimants in the EEOC's case. In addition, Del Monte Fresh Produce has partnered with the EEOC to champion and ensure equal employment rights and opportunities by setting an example for the U.S. farming industry.
"I am pleased the parties were able to resolve this case without resorting to prolonged and expensive litigation," said EEOC General Counsel David Lopez. "We are hopeful that this resolution will provide a model for the agricultural industry to ensure that farm contractors comply with anti-discrimination laws."
Specifically, Del Monte Fresh Produce has agreed to institute comprehensive protocols and accountability measures to ensure that all farm labor contractors that work with Del Monte Fresh Produce comply with federal laws against discrimination and retaliation. This is the first effort of its kind for a farm to ensure farm labor contractor accountability for federal anti-discrimination laws.
Among other things, Del Monte Fresh Produce has agreed to:
Del Monte Fresh Produce's Hawaii subsidiary is one of the first farms to resolve its case with the EEOC. The EEOC originally filed suit in U.S. District Court for the District of Hawaii in April 2011, charging that Global Horizons, a labor contractor responsible for recruiting the Thai workers, and various farm defendants engaged in conduct that constituted national origin and race discrimination, harassment and retaliation in their treatment of farm workers recruited from Thailand from 2003 through 2006. Such alleged conduct violates Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. In its suit (EEOC v. Global Horizons, Inc. d/b/a Global Horizons Manpower, Inc., Case No. CV-11-00257-LEK-RLP), the EEOC named not only the recruitment company, Global Horizons, but also the following six farms in Hawaii: Del Monte Fresh Produce's Hawaii subsidiary; Captain Cook Coffee Company, Kauai Coffee Company, Kelena Farms, MacFarms of Hawaii, and Maui Pineapple Farms.
The EEOC named Del Monte Fresh Produce's Hawaii subsidiary, which contracted with Global for approximately three years ending in 2005 to tend pineapple fields the subsidiary leased on the island of Oahu. For its service obligations to the subsidiary, Global hired farm laborers that it trained and supervised. Those workers brought in from Thailand and placed at the various farms, the EEOC charged, were mistreated and discriminated against by Global on the subsidiary's farm.
"We commend Del Monte Fresh Produce for taking a bold step to holding farm labor contractors accountable and to show its commitment to ensuring farm workers are treated with dignity and protected under federal anti-discrimination laws," said Anna Y. Park, regional attorney for the EEOC's Los Angeles District Office, which includes the state of Hawaii in its jurisdiction. "We hope this is wake-up call for others in the agricultural industry to follow Del Monte Fresh Produce's lead in recognizing signs of potential abuses by farm labor contractors and taking proactive steps to hold them accountable."
The EEOC is the federal agency that enforces federal laws prohibiting employment discrimination. Further information about the EEOC is available on the agency's web site at www.eeoc.gov.

Just west of Albuquerque's intellectual bellybutton—that would be the 400 block of Downtown Central, obviously—The Market @ 610 opened in November. It's the sort of flea-market-style mall you find east of Nob Hill's summit. The large space is about half-full of independent contractors hawking everything from incense sticks to furniture.
If you take a left at the cashier and go past a collection of tanning beds waiting to be installed, you'll see a man standing behind a waist-high counter looking a bit like a casino blackjack dealer. That's Christopher Raven, the chef and owner of Crêpe Central. Before him are two crepe griddles.
Crepes, for their simplicity, offer nearly limitless possibilities. Raven has two batters, and dozens of sweet and savory sauces and fillings. His operation is so elemental that it could probably fit on a bicycle-drawn cart, and it makes his closet-sized kitchen seem roomy in comparison. Raven learned about crepes in Paris a few years back while helping his parents set up a string of Tex-Mex restaurants there.
You'll see a man standing behind a waist-high counter, looking a bit like a casino blackjack dealer. That's Christopher Raven, the chef and owner of Crêpe Central. Before him are two crepe griddles.
I ordered two crepes, one savory and one sweet, making use of the build-your-own option in both cases. There are several recommended formulations on the menu as well. My main course was a wheat batter crepe with spinach, bacon, olives, red peppers and harissa. When the batter was set and golden, he folded the crepe's four sides into a square, cut it in half, and voilà: an elegant but unfussy presentation.
The batter is thinner than at other places around town, which shifts the emphasis to what's inside. My crepe came together beautifully and was quickly devoured. If I were to do it again, I would have added some of Raven's béchamel sauce, which I sampled after the fact. It was thick but light, with an ethereal touch of nutmeg.
For dessert, I chose a gluten-free buckwheat batter, filled with banana slices and maple syrup and drizzled with a house-invented apple cider vinegar reduction. The buckwheat pancake had more flavor and fiber than the wheat, and the body was less silky. And then it too was gone. Together, the crepes set me back $11 (cash-only), and they kept me full for a good while.
While Raven runs a lean operation, he tries not to cut corners where it matters. Much of his dairy and some of his fillings are organic. Everything would be, he told me, if his customers demanded it. An aspiring backyard chicken farmer, he used to offer an organic egg option for 50 cents more. But he didn't sell a single one, he says.
Business on the whole has not been brisk, he told me. He's counting on vendors to bring in traffic. Here's hoping his lighter-than-air béchamel sauce can keep the fledgling market afloat.

Ink System and Printhead
Ink System and Printhead
When you pop the hood on the MP640, you will see the intelligent ink-management system that uses individual ink tanks for each color. You replace only the color that runs out rather than an entire multicolor cartridge. A red LED lights the bottom of the tanks when they are properly installed. If a tnank is low or needs to be replaced, it will blink. The MP640 uses 5 colors consisting of cyan, magenta, yellow, black and a pigment black ink. The pigment-based black ink is used to make laser-quality text and the CMYK inks are ChromaLife100+ compliant.
The ChromaLife100+ system combines FINE printheads with the ChromaLife100+ ink
technology to create prints that can resist fading for up to 100 years when stored in an archival quality photo
album. The 100-year-lifespan rivals that of many traditional film based photos, long
considered by consumers to be the benchmark for image permanence. Prints produced on Canon
Photo Paper Pro with ChromaLife100+ inks have an up to ten-year gas fastness when exposed to
open air. ChromaLife100+ prints, when created using Canon Photo Paper Pro or Photo Paper Plus
Glossy, have up to 30-year light fastness when displayed under glass.
The MP640 printhead employs Canon's FINE (Full-photolithography Inkjet Nozzle Engineering) technology. The 4,416 nozzle FINE advanced print head technology is one of the keys to the impressive speed and high photo quality in PIXMA photo printers. FINE technology uses a ground-breaking high-performance, multi-nozzle print engine that ejects consistent and microscopic (1-picoliter) ink droplets.
Not only can the user replace the individual ink tanks, you can also replace the
entire print head if necessary. (Replacement print heads are available from Canon
Service after it is determined that a replacement is necessary.) Other manufacturer's printers
require a trip to the service center when they encounter a problem as the print head
is permanently mounted.
Dual Color Gamut Processing Technology takes advantage of Canon's vast experience in office imaging
equipment. By taking into account factors such as human vision characteristics and the type of print paper
being used, this technology independently controls hue and brightness to achieve the same color balance
as the original. Fully utilizing the color-reproduction capabilities of scanners and printers, Dual Color
Gamut Processing Technology makes possible the creation of copies with rich gradation and minimal
color difference.
Color development based on Canon's Color Management Technology, which incorporates human color preference factors,
is reflected in the company's inkjet printers as "Canon Digital Photo Color." Through a wide variety of panel tests,
Canon improved gray shades, contrast, and saturation, making possible vivid expression of skin tones and landscapes
with low-chromatic colors pleasing to the eye.
Optical ink sensors automatically monitor all ink color levels and communicate with your computer, giving you a pop-up message indicating exactly what colors are running low. You can also check the status of the ink tanks at any time using the Status Monitor of the driver as shown above.
Canon's optical low ink detection system prevents wasted printouts by
notifying you via the Printer Status Monitor before any ink tank becomes
empty, so you'll never unexpectedly run out of ink in the middle of a job again.
A light beam shines through a prism located at the bottom of each ink tank. When
there is sufficient ink, the light is detected by the sensor. When only about
20% of ink is left in any of the ink tanks, the light beam is refracted,
triggering the sensor which tells the printer driver to display a low ink tank
notification for that ink tank.

Below the busy streets of downtown Oklahoma City sprawls a vast network of tunnels and bridges that links 16 blocks and more than 30 of the area's buildings. Formerly dubbed the Conncourse in honor of Oklahoma City banker Jack Conn, this 3,000-linear-foot passageway experienced its heyday in the 1980s. However, a recent $2 million facelift to what has been re-christened "the Underground" has helped make this locale a popular downtown attraction once again.
The city's first tunnel was dug in 1931, but the bulk of construction took place between 1972 and 1974. Thirty-plus years later, the system called for a complete modernization. According to Elliot + Associates Architects, Oklahoma City, the architect firm that developed the redesign plan, the goal of renovating the tunnel system was to improve its quality and public perception.
In addition to fresh paint, new carpet, updated signage, and a new gallery-style display of historic Oklahoma City photographs, a major lighting upgrade was integral to the project's success. Tulsa-based Oil Capital Electric, the electrical contracting firm that performed the lighting installation, began work on July 5, 2006, and finished a little more than six months later. Jeff Griffin, project manager for Oil Capital Electric, says strip lights and can lights are the two types of luminaires that predominate the retrofit.
What makes this project unique, however, is the use of colored lighting to denote different areas of the tunnels. For example, green lights illuminate the passages connecting banks while blue marks those tunnels that link to federal buildings.
"This upgrade brought identity to the Underground and also provided a 'mapping' for people using the system by incorporating colored lighting, which was achieved through the use of colored lamp guards and strip lights," says Griffin.
One challenge faced by the contractor was the requirement that the tunnels remain open during construction.
"People downtown are used to getting from banks to the courthouse to office buildings without having to traverse the street outside, particularly in inclement weather," says Griffin. "Also, businesses in the Underground can only be accessed using this walking area under the city, so it had to stay open. Because you cannot turn off lights in a tunnel system, we had to keep areas lit while changing to the new installation."
On November 29, Interior Design magazine announced it had chosen the Underground as the winner of the Public Spaces category in its 2nd annual Best of Year Awards.
"The opportunity to use colored lights to illuminate an underground tunnel system doesn't come along too often," says Don Beach, senior manager for Oil Capital Electric. "We were glad to be a part of this unique project."

President Franklin D. Roosevelt dies
While on a vacation in Warm Springs, Georgia, President Roosevelt suffers a stroke and dies. His death marked a critical turning point in U.S. relations with the Soviet Union, as his successor, Harry S. Truman, decided to take a tougher stance with the Russians.
By April 1945, Roosevelt had been elected president of the United States four times and had served for over 12 years. He had seen the United States through some of its darkest days, from the depths of the Great Depression through the toughest times of World War II. In early 1945, shortly after being sworn in for his fourth term as president, Roosevelt was on the verge of leading his nation to triumph in the Second World War. Germany teetered on the brink of defeat, and the Japanese empire was crumbling under the blows of the American military. In February 1945, Roosevelt traveled to Yalta in the Soviet Union to meet with Russian leader Joseph Stalin and British Prime Minister Winston Churchill to discuss the postwar world. Roosevelt returned from these intense meetings drawn and sick. He vacationed in Warm Springs, Georgia, but the rest did not lead to recuperation. On April 12, 1945, he suffered a massive stroke and died.
Roosevelt left a controversial legacy in terms of U.S.-Soviet relations. Critics charged that the president had been "soft" on the communists and naive in dealing with Stalin. The meetings at Yalta, they claimed, resulted in a "sellout" that left the Soviets in control of Eastern Europe and half of Germany. Roosevelt's defenders responded that he made the best of difficult circumstances. He kept the Grand Alliance between the United States, the Soviet Union, and Great Britain intact long enough to defeat Germany. As for Eastern Europe and Germany, there was little Roosevelt could have done, since the Red Army occupied those areas. Roosevelt's successor, Harry S. Truman, decided that a "tougher" policy toward the Soviets was in order, and he began to press the Russians on a number of issues. By 1947, relations between the two former allies had nearly reached the breaking point and the Cold War was in full swing.

NOTICE: sqlite-jdbc has moved to GitHub: https://github.com/xerial/sqlite-jdbc
SQLite JDBC Driver
SQLite JDBC, developed by Taro L. Saito, is a library for accessing and creating SQLite database files in Java.
Our SQLiteJDBC library requires no configuration since native libraries for major OSs, including Windows, Mac OS X, Linux etc., are assembled into a single JAR (Java Archive) file. The usage is quite simple; download
our sqlite-jdbc library, then append the library (JAR file) to your class path.
See the sample code.
What is different from Zentus's SQLite JDBC?
The current sqlite-jdbc implementation is based on the code of Zentus's SQLite JDBC driver (missing link). We have improved it in two ways:
- Support major operating systems by embedding native libraries of SQLite, compiled for each of them.
- Remove manual configurations
In the original version, in order to use the native version of sqlite-jdbc, users had to set a path to the native codes (dll, jnilib, so files, etc.) through the command-line arguments,
-Djava.library.path=(path to the dll, jnilib, etc.), or
-Dorg.sqlite.lib.path, etc.
This process was error-prone and bothersome to tell every user to set these variables.
Our SQLiteJDBC library completely does away these inconveniences.
Another difference is that we are keeping this SQLiteJDBC library up-to-date to
the newest version of SQLite engine, because we are one of the hottest users of
this library. For example, SQLite JDBC is a core component of
UTGB (University of Tokyo Genome Browser) Toolkit, which
is our utility to create personalized genome browsers.
Public Discussion Forum
- Xerial Public Discussion Group
- Post bug reports or feqture requests to Issue Tracker
SQLite JDBC is a library for accessing SQLite databases through the JDBC API. For the general usage of JDBC, see JDBC Tutorial or Oracle JDBC Documentation.
- Download sqlite-jdbc-(VERSION).jar from the download page (or by using Maven)
then append this jar file into your classpath.
- Load the JDBC driver
org.sqlite.JDBCfrom your code. (see the example below)
More usage examples are available at https://bitbucket.org/xerial/sqlite-jdbc/wiki/Usage
Usage Example (Assuming
sqlite-jdbc-(VERSION).jar is placed in the current directory)
> javac Sample.java > java -classpath ".;sqlite-jdbc-(VERSION).jar" Sample # in Windows or > java -classpath ".:sqlite-jdbc-(VERSION).jar" Sample # in Mac or Linux name = leo id = 1 name = yui id = 2
import java.sql.Connection; import java.sql.DriverManager; import java.sql.ResultSet; import java.sql.SQLException; import java.sql.Statement; public class Sample { public static void main(String[] args) throws ClassNotFoundException { // load the sqlite-JDBC driver using the current class loader Class.forName("org.sqlite.JDBC"); Connection connection = null; try { // create a database connection connection = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:sqlite:sample.db"); Statement statement = connection.createStatement(); statement.setQueryTimeout(30); // set timeout to 30 sec. statement.executeUpdate("drop table if exists person"); statement.executeUpdate("create table person (id integer, name string)"); statement.executeUpdate("insert into person values(1, 'leo')"); statement.executeUpdate("insert into person values(2, 'yui')"); ResultSet rs = statement.executeQuery("select * from person"); while(rs.next()) { // read the result set System.out.println("name = " + rs.getString("name")); System.out.println("id = " + rs.getInt("id")); } } catch(SQLException e) { // if the error message is "out of memory", // it probably means no database file is found System.err.println(e.getMessage()); } finally { try { if(connection != null) connection.close(); } catch(SQLException e) { // connection close failed. System.err.println(e); } } } }
How to Specify Database Files
Here is an example to select a file
C:\work\mydatabase.db (in Windows)
Connection connection = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:sqlite:C:/work/mydatabase.db");
A UNIX (Linux, Mac OS X, etc) file
Connection connection = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:sqlite:/home/leo/work/mydatabase.db");
How to Use Memory Databases
SQLite supports on-memory database management, which does not create any database files.
To use a memory database in your Java code, get the database connection as follows:
Connection connection = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:sqlite::memory:");

Supported Operating Systems
Since sqlite-jdbc-3.6.19, the natively compiled SQLite engines will be used for
the following operating systems:
- Windows XP, Vista (Windows, x86 architecture, x86_64)
- Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger), 10.5(Leopard), 10.6 SnowLeopard (for i386, x86_64, Intel CPU machines)
- Linux i386 (Intel), amd64 (64-bit X86 Intel processor)
In the other OSs not listed above, the pure-java SQLite is used. (Applies to versions before 3.7.15)
If you want to use the native library for your OS, [build the source from scratch.
How does SQLiteJDBC work?
Our SQLite JDBC driver package (i.e.,
sqlite-jdbc-(VERSION).jar) contains three
types of native SQLite libraries (
each of them is compiled for Windows, Mac OS and Linux. An appropriate native library
file is automatically extracted into your OS's temporary folder, when your program
org.sqlite.JDBC driver.

Using SQLiteJDBC with Maven2
If you are familiar with Maven2, add the following XML
fragments into your pom.xml file. With those settings, your Maven will automatically download our SQLiteJDBC library into your local Maven repository, since our sqlite-jdbc libraries are synchronized with the Maven's central repository.
<dependencies> <dependency> <groupId>org.xerial</groupId> <artifactId>sqlite-jdbc</artifactId> <version>3.7.2</version> </dependency> </dependencies>
To use snapshot/pre-release versions, add the following repository to your Maven settings:
Pre-release repository: https://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/releases
Snapshot repository: https://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/snapshots
Using SQLiteJDBC with Tomcat6 Web Server
Do not include sqlite-jdbc-(version).jar in WEB-INF/lib folder of your web application
package, since multiple web applications hosted by the same Tomcat server cannot
load the sqlite-jdbc native library more than once. That is the specification of
JNI (Java Native Interface). You will observe
UnsatisfiedLinkError exception with
the message "no SQLite library found".
Work-around of this problem is to put
sqlite-jdbc-(version).jar file into
direcotry, in which multiple web applications can share the same native library
file (.dll, .jnilib, .so) extracted from this sqlite-jdbc jar file.
If you are using Maven for your web application, set the dependency scope as 'provided',
and manually put the SQLite JDBC jar file into (TOMCAT_HOME)/lib folder.
<dependency> <groupId>org.xerial</groupId> <artifactId>sqlite-jdbc</artifactId> <version>3.7.2</version> <scope>provided</scope> </dependency>

James Madison, LaSalle Victorious in NCAA Tourney
A.J. Davis, who stepped in as a starter because James Madison's leading scorer was suspended for a half, led the way with 20 points as the Dukes beat LIU Brooklyn 68-55 on Wednesday night in the First Four.
The Dukes (21-14) advance to meet top-seeded Indiana (27-6) on Friday night at the same University of Dayton Arena.
James Madison was without suspended starter Rayshawn Goins for the first half but built a big lead. After the Blackbirds (20-14) battled back to take a brief lead, the Dukes surged again to win going away.
Charles Cooke added 15 points and Andre Nation 14 for the Dukes, who hadn't won an NCAA tournament game since 1983 and hadn't played in the big dance in 19 years.
Jamal Olasewere had 20 points and 10 rebounds and C.J. Garner 16 points for the Blackbirds, who have lost in their first game in each of their six trips to the tournament.
(Copyright 2013 by The Associated Press. All Rights Reserved.)
Tyrone Garland led La Salle's guard-driven offense with 22 points, and the Explorers wrapped up the NCAA tournament's First Four by getting the better of an old-fashioned shootout, beating Boise State 80-71 on Wednesday night.
The 13th-seeded Explorers (22-9) play fourth-seeded Kansas State on Friday.
Ramon Galloway, one of the Atlantic 10's top scorers, added 21 points in a fast-paced offense that did pretty much whatever it wanted. The Explorers shot 63 percent from the field -- 16 of 22 in the second half.
Thirteenth-seeded Boise State (21-11) got its first at-large bid and was looking for the first NCAA tournament win in its history. The Broncos couldn't keep up in a game of top-this shooting.
Anthony Drmic had 28 points for the Broncos, who shot 49 percent while falling to 0-6 all-time in the NCAA tournament.

This spring Cornell University's Sustainability Hub unveiled their Big Red Bikes program. Like many bike share programs across the country, the project aims to make biking accessible, affordable, and convenient to the casual commuter who may not be familiar with bike maintenance or may feel intimidated about purchasing their own bike. As the cold Ithaca winter encroaches, bikes are being moved into storage, but that has not stopped the student organization from continuing to advocate for additional funding in hopes of expanding the program in the coming years.
In the works since 2008, the student organization Big Red Bikes unleashed 20 bikes in May 2011 that made up the initial fleet for the share program. Six months later, 20 more were added. Hopes are to eventually expand the program to include 100 bikes and more docking stations across campus.
To get off the ground, Big Red Bikes approached various university departments and organizations to get financial support. Transportation contributes a large sum that helps cover the SPARK software that is specifically designed for small bike shares. They also fund the bike racks that currently occupy three locations on campus. The bikes themselves are paid for by the Student Assembly who has allocated $1 of every student's annual activity fees to go toward the bike share program.
Each three gear bike costs about $500 including lights, helmet and lock. Remaining relatively local, Worksman Cycles are made in Queens, New York and assembled in Dryden, a town in upstate New York that borders Ithaca. The bike-powered lights come from the Netherlands.
When asked how Big Red Bikes deals with uneven bike distribution given the steep topography of Ithaca, the organization was ready with a response. To entice students, faculty and staff to return bikes to stations located at the top of a hill, Big Red Bikes has organized a rewards program. For instance, after returning a bike five times to an upper campus location, bikers receive a 10% discount to a nearby cafe — something larger, city-wide bike shares might want to consider.
As demand for the program increases, Big Red Bikes is working in a highly democratic manner to determine how to expand the program. The organization sent out a campus-wide survey to decide where to install future bike stations and get feedback about bike models. For instance, the second, 20 bike addition to the fleet boasts a slightly different model and includes a basket.
While only a campus-wide program, the ramifications of small scale bike share initiatives have the potential to contribute to the larger national movement. Boris Suchkov, director of Big Red Bike's finances, explained, "When [students] graduate and go live somewhere else, they have this expectation that biking should be a part of life."
The organization added, "We believe that students who are exposed to an environmentally sustainable transport system during their collegiate years will be more likely to expect and demand sustainable systems of all kinds in the future."

Mustang MonthlyNews & Views
Pony Express: Reader Feedback - August 2014
Mustang the World Over
I just received my May 2014 issue of Mustang Monthly and had to reply to Art Samuelson's comments in Pony Express. He is unhappy with the Mustang becoming a world car and compares it to that American icon, the Camaro. I'll let you in on a little secret, Art; the Camaro was designed here in Australia and is based on our local GM platform, the Commodore. That is why it has independent rear suspension and rear-wheel drive. You should be happy that the Mustang will now also receive independent rear suspension as a result of it becoming a world car. We're very excited here as finally we get a factory right-hand-drive Mustang, hopefully at a reasonable price. Last time they imported them here in the '90s they cost close to $80K.

More '15 Beef?
In your May '14 "50 Years Tribute Build" issue I couldn't help but notice that there was really only one thing missing. There wasn't one (not one!) photo or image of the much heralded '15 Mustang. Not even a rendering in an ad! Was this intentional or simply subliminal? Hey, like many out there I'm a committed round headlight gal, but maybe you guys are jumping ship a little too early!
Kat Holiday
Via the Internet
No ship jumping here, we can assure you of that. We are very excited about the '15 Mustang and truly believe once people see the car in person, as we have, they will VERY much warm up to it. As for no '15 Mustangs in the issue, including the ads, that's simple. The car isn't out yet so there's not much else for us to discuss since our big reveal in the Mar. '14 issue. Once Ford tosses us the keys to one, we'll have plenty to show and talk about. The ads, well, you'll see the new Mustang cropping up there soon as well once our advertisers start offering parts for the new car later this year.
Mailing Label Love
I have been a happy subscriber to Mustang Monthly for many, many years. It has always been one of the finest Mustang-enthusiast magazines available. The articles are almost always informative and interesting, the photography top-notch, and the feature cars awesome. A first-class publication, with one huge, glaring wart—the unbelievably cheap and messy mailing label on the cover! It is made of cheap paper (that the post office has usually mangled by the time it arrives in the mailbox). But the biggest issue with this crappy label is that you CAN NOT remove it! I don't know what you guys are using for glue, but that stuff is ridiculous. The label won't peel off cleanly, usually ripping the cover to shreds, and if it somehow does come off, it leaves a sticky gooey mess behind that instantly adheres the magazine to anything that comes in contact with it. I know you guys can do better. I subscribe to several Mustang-related magazines and yours is the only one with this disaster of a label on it. As I save my copies, I can't be the only who is complaining about this defect ruining an otherwise-fine product.
Ken Foley
Omaha, NE
Well you see Ken, we got this killer deal on 10,000 gallons of NASA space glue and if we don't use it in the address label application machine the stuff is going to go bad and then we'll get yelled at by accounting for wasting money. So until it's all gone we're stuck (ha!) with the address labels and how they're adhered.
Seriously though, you're not the only person bringing this issue up of late and we'll look into it further, as we tend to agree on all fronts here. We have subscriptions to other magazines that have address labels that peel easily (many even come poly bagged!), though we've seen magazines where the address is direct printed into a white box on the cover too, so be careful what you ask for!
Let us hear from you. Send your letters to:
Mustang Monthly, 1733 Alton Parkway, #100, Irvine, CA 92606, or email us at firstname.lastname@example.com.
