This past weekend, Sleepy Eye Police arrested a male juvenile for allegedly making threatening statements on a social media website.
This past weekend, Sleepy Eye Police arrested a male juvenile for allegedly making threatening statements on a social media website.
According to reports, exact details of the threats are not being released at this time, but were directed at several area schools.
According to Superintendent John Cselovszki, police were notified on Friday that threats had been posted on a Facebook status.
The threats were investigated by the Sleepy Eye Police Department and after evidence was reviewed along with the Office of the Brown County Attorney, the male suspect was taken into custody, according to a report from the Sleepy Eye Police.
According to the report, there was no evidence to show that the male taken into custody planned on working with an accomplice.
The suspect was transported by the Sleepy Eye Police Department to Prairie Lakes Detention Center in Wilmar. Charges are pending through the Brown County Attorney Office and were expected to be filed early Monday morning.
The name of the male suspect cannot be released because he is a juvenile.
Superintendent John Cselovszki said that police presence at the school on Monday morning was for safety and to answer any questions or concerns for school staff, parents or students.
"Our school is safe," Cselovszki Monday morning. "We are following protocol for incidents like this and there should never be a reason that anyone should ever feel unsafe at our schools."
Cselovszki said he sent out an automated phone message throughout the district on Saturday saying that the police currently had a suspect in custody and the Sleepy Eye Schools were following established procedures to respond to the threat. The message included that school would resume on Monday as normal with increased security.
All Sleepy Eye schools were open Monday morning. The Sleepy Eye Police Department as well as the Brown County Sheriff's Department were present at the three area schools in Sleepy Eye as students arrived. The law enforcement officials reported that the morning went without incident.

The fact that the PlayBook OS 2.0 wasn't officially released to the public during DevCon disappointed a lot of people. Although we did get a 2.0 beta release, the PlayBook owners know how great of a tablet this is and how much potential it possesses; we wanted to see it put into action. Little by little though, we're seeing some developers do amazing things with this beta OS. The latest novelty to pop up in the forums is seeing a PlayBook running 3 different environments in the Android player of OS 2.0. The guys over at @BB_IN were able to take the above video to show it off for us.
I have heard from certain people that aren't really loving this idea too much. Their argument? If I wanted a tablet that ran Honeycomb or Ice Cream Sandwich, I would've bought an Android tablet. While this may be a great argument for some, I can't help but disagree. Many people that have Macs are able to simultaneously run Windows on their computers and switch back and forth between the two OSes as they please. I simply like the fact that the BlackBerry PlayBook can do this. The potential for this tablet is still being explored. People are finding new things it can do constantly and as a BlackBerry fan, I'm all for it.

text: I know you folks prefer complaints, but here's a gold star for a firm: With the likelihood of hard freezes gone, I went to start up our lawn's sprinkler system again. Last fall, I had cut off the water from inside the house, removing the bleed cap on the cutoff valve so the water could drain out completely. Somehow, that bleed cap vanished during the winter. I had obviously not put the cap back on the cutoff valve, and it was not in any of the appropriate storage drawers. I went out to Home Depot and Loews, but they didn't carry the specific brand and model of valve (Hammond 8711 ball valve), and their generic replacement caps didn't fit. At this point, I was willing to buy an entire ball valve just to get the right size of cap.

DailyDirt: Cheaper Satellites Are Blasting Off
from the urls-we-dig-up deptSpaceX's Falcon 9 rocket has recently demonstrated its capabilities by successfully docking with the International Space Station. It's the first example of a private company achieving this feat, and it's paving the way for more private space ventures. Cheaper space missions are becoming more commonplace, and here are just a few more experimental projects that are aiming to change the space race by creating a multitude of mini space missions.
- Nanoracks reportedly has the first commercial cargo flown in a SpaceX Dragon capsule. One of the commercial experiments includes components of Ardbeg whisky to determine how whisky ages in zero gravity. Maybe there are faster ways to produce aged whisky... in space? [url]
- Interplanetary CubeSats could dramatically lower the costs of space exploration in our solar system. Low Earth orbit CubeSats have already made affordable satellite experiments possible for universities as well as government space agencies, so floating a few of these satellites out beyond Earth's reach could open up even more possibilities. [url]
- The CleanSpace One project is planning to launch satellites that can clear out space debris in the Earth's orbit. Around 16,000 objects (>10 cm in diameter) are currently cluttering up space right above the Earth, and finding a good way to clean up this space pollution could make other space missions less risky.

After the success of last year's theatrical tribute to "Dance in the USA," it seemed the logical next step for Pacific Ballet Dance Theatre was to focus on the United Kingdom's cultural heritage. Some of the most celebrated music around the world was started on the British Isles.
But this was a challenge for Natasha Middleton, artistic director of Pacific Ballet Dance Theatre and choreographer of "The British Beat," which opens at the Ford Theatres for one night only Saturday.
"There's such good material that it's hard to choose," she says.
Granted, it took a few months, but Middleton and her team have managed to compile a list of popular music — ranging from the late-19th century composer Sir Edward Elgar's nationalistic "Pomp and Circumstance" march to the wartime ballads of entertainer Vera Lynn, film composer and arranger John Barry's James Bond scores to the iconic British rock of The Beatles, and the solo work of former Beatle turn peace activist John Lennon to the soul-stirring pop of Adele.
She doesn't want to reveal names of songs, but Middleton says during the show, dancers come and go in a series of vignettes that capture the spirit of the music filling the outdoor venue.
The musical choices include artists who blend other culture's influences into their sounds, such as Led Zeppelin's Middle Eastern-tinged "Kashmir," Sting's "Desert Rose" duet with Algerian rai singer Cheb Mami, and Peter Gabriel, who is known to incorporate African drums.
Additionally, there's the operatic influence of Queen and the cosmic sounds of Pink Floyd, which presents dancers with some of the biggest performance challenges of the night.
"My dancers have to really work their tushies off," Middleton says. "I'm telling them, 'You're going to hold that arabesque (pose) longer than you thought you were ever going to hold it.'"
Pacific Ballet Dance Theatre, formerly Media City Ballet, carries on the tradition of the revolutionary Ballet Russes of Serge Diaghilev. Based in Paris, the Ballet Russes toured internationally and modernized ballet during its 20-year run, beginning in 1909.
It sought out the greatest composers and artists of the era to create original works, elaborate costumes and set designs. When coupled with strong choreography, the performances were unlike anything audiences had ever seen.
"(Principal choreographer) Léonide Massine was extremist when it came to performing and he expected his dancers to be on a very high performance level every single time," said Middleton, a third generation ballet dancer turned choreographer whose grandmother was a member of The Original Ballet Russe, and whose father was a member of Ballet Russe de Monte Carlo. "He wanted 150 percent. So he was very particular about how each dance was presented. He wanted people to walk away from the show going 'I want more.'
"That's what I liked about him," she said. "He really knew how to sell the art."
Taking a page from Massine, Middleton likewise challenges the dancers in her own Pacific Ballet Dance Theatre.
"I'm working with a stunt man to help us with a fight scene in the 'Bond' piece and we've got six gorgeous Bond girls with bodies to kill for," she said. "We're also doing a piece from John Lennon's 'Imagine,' and I've got (former Cirque du Soleil 'Le Reve' acrobat/dancer) Alan McCormick doing a handstand at the top of an eight-foot ladder.
"But what it's really about is showing that we're more than just your basic pointe shoe. We're showing off some really wonderful dance to really wonderful music."

A coalition group of local environmental organizations will host a Community Gathering on Friday, March 8 at the CARD Center. The event takes place from 5:30 to 8 p.m., following the annual "This Way to Sustainability" Conference at Chico State.
A coalition group of local environmental organizations will host a Community Gathering on Friday, March 8 at the CARD Center. The event takes place from 5:30 to 8 p.m., following the annual "This Way to Sustainability" Conference at Chico State.
The Environmental Coalition was formed as an effort to unite the various local environmental groups around the biggest environmental issues taking place in Chico and Butte County, including the implementation of the General Plans (City and County), the Butte Regional Conservation Plan, the Agricultural Mitigation Ordinance, regional water issues and climate change issues.
Woody Elliott, conservation chair of the Mount Lassen Chapter of the California Native Plant Society, voiced enthusiasm for the formation of the Coalition. "The Environmental Coalition offers an opportunity for local conservation organizations to share perspectives and priorities on environmental issues," he said. "This combined activism will foster meaningful oversight of urban development in our vulnerable rural area and improve our fragile but resilient earth."
The Gathering event offers members of the environmental community an evening to come together in a celebration of recent achievements and bolster the sense of connection between the numerous groups, said BEC Executive Director Robyn DiFalco.
Jeremy Miller, director of Kids & Creeks, agreed.
"The ability for the groups and individuals that make up our region's environmental community to come together, collaborate and speak as a single voice on key issues cannot be overstated," he said.
Featuring appetizers provided by each group and adult beverages for sale, the reception will be a point around which the organizations of the Chico Environmental Coalition rally to reaffirm the importance of working together. It will kick off with an hour of mingling, followed by an hour in which each organization will briefly present its goals and achievements.
Meeting monthly since November, the Coalition brings together approximately 20 nonprofit groups as well as representation from both Butte College and Chico State. Participating organizations include:
· Altacal Audubon Society
· AquAlliance
· Butte Bicycle Coalition
· Butte College, Sustainability Resource Center
· Butte Environmental Council
· California Native Plant Society, Mt Lassen Chapter
· California Urban Streams Alliance - The Stream Team
· Center for Water & the Environment, Chico State
· Citizen's Water Watch
· Chico Creek Nature Center
· Chico VELO Cycling
· Cultivating Community North Valley
· Friends of Bidwell Park
· GRID Alternatives
· GRUB Cooperative
· Institute for Sustainable Development, Chico State
· Kids & Creeks
· River Partners
· Sacramento River Preservation Trust
· Sierra Club Yahi Chapter
· The Chico Grange
These groups are coming together to combine their skills and expertise, working collaboratively and strategically on solutions to the challenges facing Northern California, according to DiFalco and other members of the Coalition.
"Special places take special care in order to stay that way," John Merz, chair of Big Chico Creek Watershed Alliance, said. "For me, that's what the Environmental Coalition is all about."

A Daring Bakers December Challenge
Our fabulous challenge for December is a French Yule Log from Flore at Plaisir Gourmand. [http://plaisirgourmand.perso.cegetel.net/index.html]. Our fabulous hostesses are Hilda of Saffron & Blueberry (http://saffronandblueberry.blogspot.com/) and Marion of (Il en faut peu pour etre heureux (http://ilenfautpeupour.canalblog.com/).
This is a show stopping recipe that is perfect for the holidays. My extended family thoroughly enjoyed the Yule Log, including the sugared slices of star fruit. The side decorations of praline turned out to be slightly addictive, causing more than one person to revisit the log and sneak a piece off the side. Thanks Hilda & Marion for a wonderful holiday dessert!
This recipe comes almost entirely, except for one small labeled portion and some of the variations courtesy of our dear Daring Baker Fairy Tartelette, from the website: Florilège Gourmand (address above) which belongs to Flore and is unreal. Her website is in French and different portions of the recipe have been pulled from the recipes in the entremets section.
1) Dacquoise Biscuit
2) Mousse
3) Ganache Insert
4) Praline (Crisp) Insert
5) Creme Brulee Insert
6) Icing
The assembly will essentially be a Dacquoise Biscuit at the bottom, and the inserts inter-layered with mousse, with an icing finish.
Element #1 Dacquoise Biscuit (Almond Cake)
Preparation time: 10 mn + 15 mn for baking
Equipment: 2 mixing bowls, hand or stand mixer with whisk attachment, spatula, baking pan such as a 10"x15" jelly-roll pan, parchment paper
Note: You can use the Dacquoise for the bottom of your Yule Log only, or as bottom and top layers, or if using a Yule log mold (half-pipe) to line your entire mold with the biscuit. Take care to spread the Dacquoise accordingly. Try to bake the Dacquoise the same day you assemble the log to keep it as moist as possible.
2.8 oz (3/4cup + 1Tbsp / 80g) almond meal
1.75 oz (1/2 cup / 50g) confectioner's (caster) sugar
2Tbsp (15g) brown rice flour & sweet rice flour blend (1 Tb each)
3.5oz (100g / ~100ml) about 3 medium egg whites
1.75 oz (4 Tbsp / 50g) granulated sugar
Finely mix the almond meal and the caster sugar. (If you have a mixer, you can use it by pulsing the ingredients together for no longer than 30 seconds). Sift the flour into the mix. Beat the eggs whites, gradually adding the granulated sugar until stiff. Pour the almond meal mixture into the egg whites and blend delicately with a spatula. Grease a piece of parchment paper and line your baking pan with it. Spread the batter on a piece of parchment paper to an area slightly larger than your desired shape (circle, long strip etc...) and to a height of 1/3 inches (8mm). Bake at 350°F (180°C) for approximately 15 minutes (depends on your oven), until golden. Let cool and cut to the desired shape.
Element #2 Dark Chocolate Mousse
Preparation time: 20mn
Equipment: stand or hand mixer with whisk attachment, thermometer, double boiler or equivalent, spatula
Note: You will see that a Pate a Bombe is mentioned in this recipe. A Pate a Bombe is a term used for egg yolks beaten with a sugar syrup, then aerated. It is the base used for many mousse and buttercream recipes. It makes mousses and buttercreams more stable, particularly if they are to be frozen, so that they do not melt as quickly or collapse under the weight of heavier items such as the crème brulee insert.
Gelatin is the gelifying agent in all of the following recipes, but if you would like to use agar-agar, here are the equivalencies: 8g powdered gelatin = 1 (0.25 oz) envelope powdered gelatin = 1 Tbsp powdered gelatin = 1 Tbsp Agar-Agar. 1 Tbsp. of agar-agar flakes is equal to 1 tsp. of agar-agar powder.
2.5 sheets gelatin or 5g / 2+1/4 tsp powdered gelatin
1.5 oz (3 Tbsp / 40g) granulated sugar
1 ½ tsp (10g) glucose or thick corn syrup
0.5 oz (15g) water
50g egg yolks (about 3 medium)
6.2 oz (175g) dark chocolate, coarsely chopped
1.5 cups (350g) heavy cream (35% fat content) or MimicCream
Soften the gelatin in cold water. (If using powdered gelatin, follow the directions on the package.)
2. Make a Pate a Bombe: Beat the egg yolks until very light in colour (approximately 5 minutes until almost white).
2a. Cook the sugar, glucose syrup and water on medium heat for approximately 3 minutes (if you have a candy thermometer, the mixture should reach 244°F (118°C). If you do not have a candy thermometer, test the sugar temperature by dipping the tip of a knife into the syrup then into a bowl of ice water, if it forms a soft ball in the water then you have reached the correct temperature.
2b. Add the sugar syrup to the beaten yolks carefully by pouring it into the mixture in a thin stream while continuing to beat the yolks. You can do this by hand but it's easier to do this with an electric mixer.
2c. Continue beating until cool (approximately 5 minutes). The batter should become thick and foamy.
3. In a double boiler (or one small saucepan in a larger one), heat 2 tablespoons (30g) of cream to boiling. Add the chopped chocolate and stir until melted and smooth.
4. Pour the melted chocolate over the softened gelatin, mixing well. Let the gelatin and chocolate cool slightly and then stir in ½ cup (100g) of cream to temper. Add the Pate a Bombe.
5. Add in the rest of the cream (220g) mixing gently with a spatula.
Element #3 Dark Chocolate Ganache Insert
Preparation time: 10mn
Equipment: pan, whisk.
If you have plunging mixer (a vertical hand mixer used to make soups and other liquids), it comes in handy.
Note: Because the ganache hardens as it cools, you should make it right before you intend to use it to facilitate piping it onto the log during assembly. Please be careful when caramelizing the sugar and then adding the cream. It may splatter and boil.
1.75 oz (4 Tbsp / 50g) granulated sugar
4.5oz (2/3 cup – 1 Tbsp/ 135g) heavy cream (35% fat content) or MimicCream
5 oz (135g) dark chocolate, finely chopped
3Tbsp + 1/2tsp (45g) unsalted butter softened
Make a caramel: Using the dry method, melt the sugar by spreading it in an even layer in a small saucepan with high sides. Heat over medium-high heat, watching it carefully as the sugar begins to melt. Never stir the mixture. As the sugar starts to melt, swirl the pan occasionally to allow the sugar to melt evenly. Cook to dark amber color (for most of you that means darker than last month's challenge). While the sugar is melting, heat the cream until boiling. Pour cream into the caramel and stir thoroughly. Be very careful as it may splatter and boil. Pour the hot caramel-milk mixture over the dark chocolate. Wait 30 seconds and stir until smooth. Add the softened butter and whip hard and fast (if you have a plunging mixer use it). The chocolate should be smooth and shiny.
Element #4 Praline Feuillete (Crisp) Insert
Preparation time: 10 mn (+ optional 15mn if you make lace crepes)
Equipment: Small saucepan, baking sheet (if you make lace crepes).
Double boiler (or one small saucepan in another), wax paper, rolling pin (or use an empty bottle of olive oil).
Note: Feuillete means layered (as in with leaves) so a Praline Feuillete is a Praline version of a delicate crisp. There are non-praline variations below. The crunch in this crisp comes from an ingredient which is called gavottes in French. Gavottes are lace-thin crepes. To our knowledge they are not available outside of France, so you have the option of making your own using the recipe below or you can simply substitute rice krispies or corn flakes or Special K for them.
To make 2.1oz / 60g of gavottes (lace crepes - recipe by Ferich Mounia):
1/3 cup (80ml) whole milk
2/3 Tbsp (8g) unsalted butter
1/3 cup – 2tsp (35g) all-purpose flour
1 Tbsp / 0.5 oz (15g) beaten egg
1 tsp (3.5g) granulated sugar
½ tsp vegetable oil
Heat the milk and butter together until butter is completely melted. Remove from the heat.
Sift flour into milk-butter mixture while beating, add egg and granulated sugar. Make sure there are no lumps.
Grease a baking sheet and spread batter thinly over it.
Bake at 430°F (220°C) for a few minutes until the crepe is golden and crispy. Let cool.
Ingredients for the Praline Feuillete:
3.5 oz (100g) milk chocolate
1 2/3 Tbsp (25g) butter
2 Tbsp (1 oz / 30g) praline
2.1oz (60g) lace crepes(gavottes) or corn flakes or pulverized Gorilla Munch
Melt the chocolate and butter in a double boiler. Add the praline and the coarsely crushed lace crepes. Mix quickly to thoroughly coat with the chocolate. Spread between two sheets of wax paper to a size slightly larger than your desired shape. Refrigerate until hard.
Element #5 Vanilla Crème Brulée Insert
Preparation time: 15mn + 1h infusing + 1h baking
Equipment: Small saucepan, mixing bowl, baking mold, wax paper
Note: The vanilla crème brulée can be flavored differently by simply replacing the vanilla with something else e.g. cardamom, lavender, etc...
1/2 cup (115g) heavy cream (35% fat content) or MimicCream
½ cup (115g) star fruit puree
4 medium-sized (72g) egg yolks
0.75 oz (2 Tbsp / 25g) granulated sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Heat the milk, cream, and scraped vanilla bean to just boiling. Remove from the stove and let the vanilla infuse for about 1 hour. Whisk together the sugar and egg yolks (but do not beat until white). Pour the vanilla-infused milk over the sugar/yolk mixture. Mix well. Wipe with a very wet cloth and then cover your baking mold (whatever shape is going to fit on the inside of your Yule log/cake) with parchment paper. Pour the cream into the mold and bake at 210°F (100°C) for about 1 hour or until firm on the edges and slightly wobbly in the center.
Tartelette says:You can bake it without a water bath since it is going to go inside the log (the aesthetics of it won't matter as much since it will be covered with other things)....BUT I would recommend a water bath for the following reasons:
- you will get a much nicer mouth feel when it is done
- you will be able to control its baking point and desired consistency much better
- it bakes for such a long time that I fear it will get overdone without a water bath
Now...since it is baked in a pan and it is sometimes difficult to find another large pan to set it in for a water bath, even a small amount of water in your water bath will help the heat be distributed evenly in the baking process. Even as little as 1 inch will help.
Let cool and put in the freezer for at least 1 hour to firm up and facilitate the final assembly.
Element #6 Dark Chocolate Icing
Preparation time: 25 minutes (10mn if you don't count softening the gelatin)
Equipment: Small bowl, small saucepan
Note: Because the icing gelifies quickly, you should make it at the last minute.
For other gelatin equivalencies or gelatin to agar-agar equivalencies, look at the notes for the mousse component.
4g / ½ Tbsp powdered gelatin or 2 sheets gelatin
¼ cup (60g) heavy cream (35 % fat content) or MimicCream
2.1 oz (5 Tbsp / 60g) granulated sugar
¼ cup (50g) water
1/3 cup (30g) unsweetened cocoa powder
1. Soften the gelatin in cold water for 15 minutes.
Boil the rest of the ingredients and cook an additional 3 minutes after boiling.
Add to the chocolate mixture. Mix well.
Let cool while checking the texture regularly. As soon as the mixture is smooth and coats a spoon well (it is starting to gelify), use immediately.
How To Assemble your French Yule Log
Depending on whether your mold is going to hold the assembly upside down until you unmold it or right side up, this order will be different.
You will want to tap your mold gently on the countertop after each time you pipe mousse in to get rid of any air bubbles.
1) Line your mold or pan, whatever its shape, with rhodoid (clear hard plastic, I usually use transparencies cut to the desired shape, it's easier to find than cellulose acetate which is what rhodoid translates to in English) OR plastic film. Rhodoid will give you a smoother shape but you may have a hard time using it depending on the kind of mold you're using.
You have two choices for Step 2, you can either have Dacquoise on the top and bottom of your log as in version A or you can have Dacquoise simply on the bottom of your log. Reverse this order to make the Yule log from the bottom to the top.
2) Cut the Dacquoise into a shape fitting your mold and set it in there. If you are using an actual Yule mold which is in the shape of a half-pipe, you want the Dacquoise to cover the entire half-pipe portion of the mold.
3) Pipe one third of the Mousse component on the Dacquoise.
4) Take the Creme Brulee Insert out of the freezer at the last minute and set on top of the mousse. Press down gently to slightly ensconce it in the mousse.
5) Pipe second third of the Mousse component around and on top of the Creme Brulee Insert.
6) Cut the Praline/Crisp Insert to a size slightly smaller than your mold so that it can be surrounded by mousse. Lay it on top of the mousse you just piped into the mold.
7) Pipe the last third of the Mousse component on top of the Praline Insert.
8) Freeze for a few hours to set. Take out of the freezer.
9) Pipe the Ganache Insert onto the frozen mousse leaving a slight eidge so that ganache doesn't seep out when you set the Dacquoise on top.
10) Close with the last strip of Dacquoise.
Freeze until the next day.
Unmold the cake/log/whatever and set on a wire rack over a shallow pan. Cover the cake with the icing. Let set. Return to the freezer. Transfer to the refrigerator no longer than ½ hour before serving as it may start to melt quickly depending on the elements you chose.

Rules of the Road_OLD
Download a print-friendly version of this page
Our roads are changing and it's important to take the time to learn the rules of the road. Understanding new roadway features and refreshing your knowledge of existing laws is an important first step. In the coming months, we'll be reaching out to communities across the city to share information about new roadway features and rules of the road.
If you're going by bike…
If you're a pedestrian…
Speed – In Seattle, the speed limit on residential streets is 25 mph and 30 mph on arterial streets, unless otherwise posted.
Intersections – Drivers are required to allow pedestrians and bicycles to cross the road within a marked or unmarked crosswalk.
If approaching an intersection with no stop sign or traffic light, in the absence of a pedestrian, the vehicle to the left must yield to the vehicle on the right.
Traffic Signals – Pedestrians, people on bikes, and people driving must obey traffic signals and traffic control devices unless otherwise directed by a traffic or police officer.
Cell Phones – It is against the law to text or use a hand-held cell phone when driving.
Bicycling on the Road – When riding on a roadway, a cyclist has all the rights and responsibilities of a vehicle driver. For night bicycle riding, a white front light (not a reflector) visible for 500 feet and a red rear reflector are required.
Sidewalks – Drivers and bicyclists must yield to pedestrians on sidewalks and in crosswalks.

Just fewer than 1,000 Arlington and Lakeland voters cast early ballots through Saturday, Sept. 14, the end of early voting in the two sets of municipal elections.
Turnout numbers from the Shelby County Election Commission show 937 early voters combined for the two towns.
The bulk of the voters – 638 – were Lakeland voters who voted Saturday, the single day of early voting in Lakeland.
The previous Saturday, Sept. 7, 271 Arlington citizens cast early votes on the only day of early voting within Arlington.
The remaining early votes were absentee ballots or early votes cast at the Shelby County Office Building, 157 Poplar Ave., in Downtown Memphis.
Election day in Arlington and Lakeland is Thursday, with polls open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.
The election is the first of 11 between now and Thanksgiving.
Plans to re-establish a local chapter of Business and Professional Women of Tennessee are moving ahead, after the organization's Jackson-area chapter voted unanimously to sponsor the local group.
The motion was made by state president Jacque Hillman at the Jackson group's monthly meeting, which was attended by two of the Memphians seeking to restart the local chapter.
"Obtaining Jackson as a sponsor is a great benefit for us," said Martha Ervin, one of the Memphis-area organizers, in an email. She added that the Jackson chapter had been in a similar situation in which membership had dropped off significantly, but that instead of folding, as the East Memphis/Greater Memphis chapter did last year, the Jackson group developed a plan and has grown to more than 30 members.
Ervin is finance chair for Business and Professional Women of Tennessee, the state affiliate of the BPW Foundation. The national group is an advocate for women on work-life balance and workplace equity issues.
National Bankers Trust Corp. is seeking a four-year tax break to create 43 new jobs and invest $6 million in a new corporate headquarters in East Memphis.
National Bankers Trust hopes to move from its 13,750-square-foot location at 8245 Tournament Drive in Southwind to 813 Ridge Lake Blvd., according to a payment-in-lieu-of-taxes application to the Economic Development Growth Engine of Memphis and Shelby County.
The company said it would buy the vacant 51,000-square-foot building on Ridge Lake and use 34,000 square feet right away, with the remainder available for future expansions.
"Our goal is to revitalize the dilapidated property and restore it to a vital business facility that supports small business in our community," the company said in its PILOT application.
The PILOT would save the company $588,649 in city and county property taxes, according to EDGE, while generating $824,887 in new tax revenue over the PILOT period. The average salary of the 43 new employees will be $42,906.
The firm said it has received multiple offers from several states to relocate its headquarters, including Fayette County, DeSoto County and Las Vegas.
The EDGE board will vote on the PILOT application Wednesday, Sept. 18, at 3 p.m. at the Better Business Bureau office, located at 3693 Tyndale Drive.

For weeks, Lawrence Summers had been considered the leading candidate to succeed Ben Bernanke as Federal Reserve chairman.
A renowned economist, Summers built close ties to President Barack Obama when he led the president's National Economic Council in 2009 and 2010. In that role, he helped orchestrate the administration's efforts to combat the financial crisis and the Great Recession.
But on Sunday, Summers withdrew from consideration for the Fed. His withdrawal followed growing resistance from critics, including some members of the Senate committee that would need to back his nomination.
His exit could open the door for his chief rival, Janet Yellen, the Fed's vice chair. If chosen by Obama and confirmed by the Senate, Yellen would become the first woman to lead the Fed.
In the past, Obama has mentioned only one other candidate as possibly being under consideration: Donald Kohn, a former Fed vice chair. But Kohn, 70, has been considered a long shot.
The administration reached out to former Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner early in the process. Geithner said he was not interested in being considered.

U.S. factories increased output in August by the most in eight months, helped by a robust month at auto plants. The gains are a hopeful sign that manufacturing could help boost economic growth in the second half of the year.
Manufacturing production rose 0.7 percent last month from July, the Federal Reserve said Monday. That's the biggest increase since December. It followed a 0.4 percent decline in July.
Automakers increased production 5.2 percent, after a 4.5 percent decline in July. And factories stepped up production of other goods, including computers and electronics, furniture and business equipment.
Overall industrial production rose 0.4 percent in August following no change in July. Mining, which includes oil production, increased but output at utilities fell for a fifth month.

|Robert J.H. Kiphuth Director of Men's Swimming and Diving
|Previous College:
|Southern Connecticut State '93
Tim Wise was named Yale's Robert J.H. Kiphuth Head Coach of Men's Swimming and Diving on May 6, 2010. Wise had been an assistant coach at Yale for 12 seasons prior to that.
In 2011-12, Wise's second season at the helm, the Bulldogs made dramatic progress. He led the team to a 6-2 record, setting eight school records in the process. Yale also had a pair of swimmers compete at the 2012 United States Olympic Trials.
In 2012-13, the Bulldogs improved even further, compiling a 9-2 regular season record and a fourth place finish at the Ivy League Swimming and Diving Championships.
In 2013-14, Wise guided the team to an 8-3 regular season record and finished fourth at the Ivy League Championships again. The Bulldogs hosted the HYP meet, finishing only 35 points behind Princeton and setting five Kiphuth Exhibition Pool records. Seven team records were broken during the season, and Wise coached sophomore Brian Hogan '16 at the NCAA Men's Division I Swimming and Diving Championships.
2014-15 was the Bulldogs' best yet under Wise. The team went 8-2 in the regular season, and finished third at Ivies. The highlight of the regular season was a 181-172 victory over a nationally ranked Penn State team; it was Yales first victory against the Big 10 program since 1942, when the Elis beat Michigan. Yale sent three swimmers—senior Rob Harder '15, Hogan and freshman Kei Hyogo— to the NCAA Championships. Hyogo finished 15th in the 1,650-yard freestyle, putting Yale in an elite group of programs to score points at the Championships.
In 2015-16, the Bulldogs finished fourth at Ivies after going 7-3 in the regular season. Seeking an even more challenging schedule, Wise brought the Elis to the Nike Invitational in November to compete against some of the best teams in the ACC. He led the team to its second straight victory over Penn State. In March, he returned to the NCAA Championships with Hogan and Hyogo. Hyogo was named an All-American in the 1,650-yard freestyle after he finished in eighth-place; he was the first swimmer to receive that honor during Wise's tenure.
Under Wise, the Bulldogs have also enjoyed great academic success. They posted the best grade-point average in the country in seven of the last nine semesters, including six straight from Fall 2012-Fall 2014.
During his tenure as an assistant to Frank Keefe, Wise helped Yale swimmers set 22 university records and win 16 individual and two relay Ivy League Championship titles. In addition, two of his swimmers competed at the 2008 United States Olympic Trials. Wise was responsible for the sprinters starting in 2004, and they accounted for more than 50 percent of Yale's points at the Ivy League Championships during his time coaching them.
Alex Righi '09 became one of the most decorated swimmers in Yale history under Wise's guidance. Righi, an 11-time All-American, won the Moriarty Trophy as the Swimmer of the Meet at the Ivy League Championships three times and finished second in both the 50 and 100 freestyles at the NCAA Championships as a junior and tied the American record in the 50 freestyle as a senior. While at Yale, Wise also serves as the head coach of the Omni Swim Club, a Yale-based USA Swimming club. He was named the 2008 Connecticut Swimming Senior Coach of the Year.
Prior to Yale, Wise served as the head coach at Southern Connecticut State University, where he guided the Owls to a 21-9 dual-meet record in the New England Intercollegiate Swimming and Diving Conference. He also has experience as an assistant coach at Texas A&M and Arizona State.
Wise is a 1993 Southern Connecticut State graduate. He lives in Wethersfield, Conn., with his wife, Lisa, and children Matt and Katie.

Propidium iodide is a phenanthridine derivative that was originally synthesized as an anti-trypanosomal agent. The popular, traditional probe binds to DNA via intercalation to produce orange-red fluorescence centered at 617 nanometers. Positively charged, propidium iodide also exhibits a high affinity for double-stranded RNA, resulting in the necessity of treating cell cultures containing both nucleic acids with nucleases in order to distinguish between them. The absorption maximum of the fluorophore is 536 nanometers, making it suitable for excitation with either the 488-nanometer or 514-nanometer spectral lines of an argon-ion (or krypton-argon) laser, or the 543-nanometer line from a green helium-neon laser. Propidium iodide is often utilized in fluorescence microscopy as a counterstain to highlight cell nuclei during double or triple labeling experiments. The dye is membrane impermeant, typically being excluded from viable cells in a population.
In order to target the cytoskeletal F-actin network and nuclei present in the LLC-PK1 monolayer culture presented above, the cells were first stained with Alexa Fluor 488 conjugated to phalloidin and propidium iodide, respectively. The culture was also labeled with the probe Alexa Fluor 350 conjugated to wheat germ agglutinin, a lectin that selectively binds to sialic acid residues, which are found in both mucoproteins and glycoproteins. Images were recorded in grayscale with a QImaging Retiga Fast-EXi camera system coupled to an Olympus BX-51 microscope equipped with bandpass emission fluorescence filter optical blocks provided by Omega Optical. During the processing stage, individual image channels were pseudocolored with RGB values corresponding to each of the fluorophore emission spectral profiles.

Newport Beach should be proud an event like the Ronnie Lott IMPACT Trophy ceremony is held in its city every year.
The Pacific Club, in Newport Beach, should also be proud of a fascinating award and yet another compelling ceremony.
It was a memorable evening Sunday at the Pacific Club, where Luke Kuechly of Boston College won the Ronnie Lott Trophy. But there was more to the night than a well-deserved winner.
This was more about a Hall of Fame defensive back, one of the hardest hitters of all time, stepping aside from announcing the winner of his own award and asking a hero to do the honors.
Marine Sgt. Dakota Meyer announced the Lott Trophy winner. Meyer struggled to pronounce Kuechly (keek-lee), but that was his only downfall.
Meyer is the most recent recipient of the Congressional Medal of Honor. He was there to accept the Honorary Lott IMPACT Trophy.
IMPACT is an acronym for Integrity, Maturity, Performance, Community and Tenacity. Meyer is a strong example of that. He says he's not a hero, but no one can deny his remarkable acts back in 2009.
The Congressional Medal of Honor is the nation's highest award for valor. It was a reason I was stuck waiting to interview Meyer because so many people wanted to take a picture with him.
During the ceremony, those in attendance gave Meyer a standing ovation after a video about him was played.
Meyer said he did what any other Marine would do, and that his work was simply the result of reacting to an opportunity.
He, along with other members of his unit, fought to rescue a quartet that had been trapped by heavy enemy fire. According to reports, as many as 150 Taliban fighters were ambushing them near the village of Ganjgal, located in a valley along the border with Pakistan.
Meyer killed at least eight insurgents as he manned the Humvee's turret gun. He rescued 36 Afghan and American troops. That was the result of four attempts. He went back in on a fifth attempt, only to find the quartet had been killed in the fighting. He gathered their remains.
As the video played, Meyer's eyes watered. He couldn't smile as the narrator talked about his humble background from Kentucky. He only nodded his head when people stood and clapped for him.
He later shook his head in an aw-shucks manner when Lott asked him to announce the winner.
I asked him what advice he would give to a first-year Marine. His response seemed to apply to anyone who has a goal in mind.
"You go in and take it one day at a time," he said. "You have to understand the bigger picture. You can't think so much of all that's going on around you. But know that it will all make sense in the end."
Meyer seemed to receive much more fanfare than the four finalists and the big names at the dinner.
The other finalists were Emmanuel Acho of Texas, Alabama's Dont'a Hightower and Notre Dame's Manti Te'o.
Marcus Allen, Ron Yary and keynote speaker Brent Musberger were among several big names there. They all stood and applauded Meyer.
Kuechly said it was the best of both worlds to win an award named after such a great player and to have it be presented by a hero.
Kuechly, a 6-foot-3, 237-pound junior linebacker, led the nation in tackles each of the past two seasons. He also earned the Butkus Award (top linebacker) and Lombardi Award (top lineman/linebacker) this year. On Monday, he won the Bronko Nagurski Award for being the nation's top defensive player.
Acho, Hightower and Te'o playfully punched Kuechly in his gut after it was announced that he won. Kuechly was still standing. For winning the Lott Trophy, Boston College received $25,000 for its general scholarship fund. Each of the finalists' schools received $5,000.
The college football award also takes character into account. Kuechly is an honor student at Boston College, an officer on the student-athlete advisory committee and a participant in the HEAR (Help Educate through Athletic Responsibility) program, which involves him visiting local schools and sharing experiences as student-athletes.
Kuechly, who stood and applauded Meyer, said it was a memorable night.
He is the eighth Lott trophy winner. The event gets better each year. It's a gem for Newport Beach.

|Bruthas Who Luv Muthas
Short review: Overall this site needs a lot more work and updating. Only 9 videos are offered with actual "bruthas" and "muthas" fucking. Yeah, they may offer tons of other sites movies as well, but that's not the point here. If you are going to have a porn site and promise a certain theme, you need to live up to the expectations of the paying customer and give them more content!
Content Amount: Content amount was very minimal with the actual site. The bonus sites offered a lot more content and videos, which "Bruthas who luv muthas" actually plays off of to make their site seem bigger and better.

Archdiocese of Boston unveils details of first wave of parish reorganization
The Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Boston on Thursday announced the names of more than two dozen parishes participating in the first phase of a major reorganization that will eventually group the archdiocese's 288 parishes into about 135 clusters, each led by a team of clergy and lay leaders.
The reorganization, to be phased in over five years, is designed to help parishes cope with diminished Mass attendance, a shortage of priests, and anemic fund-raising. Church officials hope the plan will eventually strengthen parishes and help reverse those trends.
The 28 parishes participating in the pilot phase — diverse in size, wealth, ethnicity, and geography — will be grouped into 12 clusters, or "collaboratives.'' The collaboratives will gradually take shape over the next two years, as clergy and lay leaders are assigned and trained, and teams from each one create a long-term plan.
The parishes will remain open, but church officials said they hope will learn to work together to share resources.
The Rev. Paul Soper, director of the archdiocese's Office of Pastoral Planning, acknowledged that the process will be protracted, complex, and somewhat bureaucratic, but he said the plan is ambitious, and the archdiocese intends to take the time necessary to make the plan work.
He added that many of the priests he has spoken with see this as a "rational, moderate plan'' that keeps parishes open but tries to set them on a more solid course for the future.
The challenge, he said, will be "staying open to the movement of the Holy Spirit as we move through this, while at the same time as being attentive as we can to every detail.''
He said most of the parishes participating in the first round volunteered — their priests consulted with parish councils or the congregation and stepped forward. The rest agreed after some discussion.
After encountering vitriolic resistance to forced church closings in 2004 and 2005 — the church's last effort to downsize — the archdiocese has taken care to develop this new plan slowly, after broad consultation with parishioners and clergy, and to present it as an effort that will unfold naturally over time.
Soper said the first round of collaboratives was chosen to help test the reorganization plan in different settings, with varying logistical and cultural complexity.
One of the collaboratives contains only one parish: St. Mary of the Assumption in Brookline, a financially sound, English-speaking parish that is the only Catholic church in town.
The Salem collaborative, on the other hand, includes four parishes that hold Masses in three languages — English, Spanish, and Polish — and serve many low-income households.
Each collaborative will be assigned a lead pastor by April, Soper said. Pastors will undergo training in May and June, move if they are coming from outside the collaborative by the beginning of the summer, and then begin assembling their teams of assistant clergy and lay councils.
Soper said the archdiocese had not yet determined how many priests would be assigned to each collaborative.
He acknowledged that the transition period may leave some parishioners on edge but said it was necessary to allow enough time for the pastoral selection process, overseen by the archdiocese's clergy personnel board and, ultimately, Cardinal Sean P. O'Malley.
The pastoral assignments for the collaboratives "are the most important choices we are making,'' Soper said. "It's much better to make those choices carefully than to make them quickly.''
All the staff and lay leaders will be in place by fall, when the archdiocese will provide them with 16 days of training over several months.
Then, a team of people in each collaborative will spend a year developing a long-term plan outlining how they will attend to their parishioners' needs and how they will expand efforts to evangelize, working to bring more people to church.
Today, fewer than 20 percent of baptized Catholics in the archdiocese attend Mass, down from 70 percent several decades ago.
The archdiocese hopes that by using resources more efficiently, the parishes will become stronger and more lively, which will help them grow again.
"The biggest challenge is always evangelization — being out in front and keeping people focused that this is about our love relationship with the Lord,'' Soper said.

Ezekiel "Zeke" Kendall is, by most measures, a nice guy. He's friendly, upbeat and enjoys spending time with his family.
Still, you wouldn't be wrong if you called him heartless.
The Costa Mesa 19-year-old — who's awaiting the first of what could be multiple heart transplants throughout his life — had his own failing ticker removed and replaced with a SynCardia artificial device Dec. 5.
"It's weird to think, man, I have a completely synthetic metal and plastic device in my body," he said. "It's just a phenomenal, phenomenal device."
In early November, Kendall was diagnosed with congestive heart failure after he had begun to feel "sick and out of it."
His heart developed "a huge clot in one chamber, then another," said his dad, Dusty Kendall. "His heart was swelled way beyond capacity."
Every move, Zeke Kendall said, risked a sudden drop in blood pressure.
After he was hooked up to the SynCardia heart, he was able to move around, and "it's much nicer now," he said.
But the artificial device is "just a bridge to a donor heart," Dusty Kendall said.
Hence the waiting.
Zeke Kendall has been at UCLA Medical Center's intensive care unit for a couple months.
Ever positive, he said that because he was going to school at Orange Coast College when he got sick, "I've been saying this is probably the best time to happen. I was in a transitional phase."
He said his professors have been "really understanding," and he's gotten letters of support from his coworkers at the Metro Pointe Barnes and Noble.
In his spare time he enjoys painting and gluing models for tabletop games, Zeke Kendall said. In the future he'd like to do 3-D graphic design.
A typical day at the hospital involves a lot of sitting around on the computer, with a couple of walks and one meal a day in the hospital's cafeteria, Zeke Kendall said.
"Just sort of a system we've got down," he said. "A simple system."
One day, though, that system was shaken up by a surprise visit.
He said a representative from the hospital's Child Life services asked him if he wanted to meet "the guy from 'The Hangover,'" actor Zach Galifianakis.
"My friends were like, 'You literally met my hero,'" Zeke Kendall said. "That was cool."
Nevertheless, life in the ICU can be wearing.
"It's been — the hospital's been phenomenal, they're a great group of people," Dusty Kendall said. "It's just trying to cope with being in a hospital 24/7."
Furthermore, a heart transplant, plus up to $1,500 worth of anti-rejection medication each month for the rest of Kendall's life, is an expensive prospect.
"A lot of people don't realize this, but donor hearts only last about 15 years," Dusty Kendall said. "We're trying to get him to where it'll be a reasonable burden financially."
With the help of the Bloomington, Ind.-based Children's Organ Transplant Assn., Zeke Kendall's family hopes to raise about $150,000 to cover costs.
So far, they've raised $12,399, said Zeke Kendall's sister, Amber Weiser. She said the family plans to hold a silent auction at the Grove in Los Angeles on Feb. 22.
Zeke Kendall said he's not worried about the future.
"I have my moments where it's like, 'Oh no,'" he said. "My general outlook is there's no real point in sitting around and panicking and dwelling on things that could be."
For now, he said, he's mostly looking forward to getting out of the hospital and celebrating the holidays.
"We didn't celebrate anything," he said. "I've told my family we'll whip it all together at a coming home party."

I'm looking for vegetable only breakfast menus. Can you help?
Vegetables can be included at breakfast in any way that you would enjoy them. Vegetables are great in omelets, can be used in a wrap or on a sandwich, as a salad or in soup. Vegetable juice is also a great option. If you are looking for vegetarian/ vegan options, you could try various nut butters such as soy nut butter, almond butter, peanut butter, etc. on toast or crackers, or on top of celery sticks or cucumber slices. Bean spreads such as hummus on vegetables, crackers or in pita bread with tomatoes and cucumbers would also be a delicious options. Tofu can be scrambled with vegetables to create a vegan omelet. A garden burger would also be another menu idea. There are numerous vegetarian and vegan products such as sausages and burgers that can be found in the grocery store.

Fujitsu's Government Desktop as a Service (GoDaaS) is a cloud-based solution that enables secure access to critical applications and is currently being deployed by over 3,000 users at four major New Zealand government agencies. Built as a hybrid cloud solution on one of the most sophisticated multi-tenanted Citrix architectures and XenApp and XenDesktop deployments in the world, GoDaaS lets users work from anywhere, anytime, providing a seamless user experience across any end device via traditional or virtual desktops.
Statistics New Zealand, the government agency charged with collecting and producing statistical information, was at the start of a planned six-month GoDaaS rollout when a massive 7.8-scale earthquake hit New Zealand in November 2016, causing catastrophic damage to its head office. Although the earthquake cut off all physical access to Statistics New Zealand's IT systems, Fujitsu was able to deliver an entire desktop and office productivity environment to the agency's 1,000-plus workforce in the space of just four days. Thanks to GoDaaS, Statistics employees could work from home during the weeks of aftershocks that followed, enabling them to meet a critical deadline for publishing key economic statistics.
In the submission video for the Citrix Innovation Award, Christoper Buxton, Chief Digital Officer of Statistics New Zealand described the value of the cloud-based GoDaaS platform: "Ultimately we are a data agency, so our value add is data. We are providing data to our customers including businesses or individuals. At the end of the day we serve the entire population of New Zealand and the cloud helps us to put this data in the hands of those users."
Stuart Stitt, Managing Director of Fujitsu New Zealand, said: "GoDaaS is delivering multiple benefits to the New Zealand government, including the ability to scale up quickly to support the national census, streamlining the justice system, improving security, and reducing running costs for IT."
With the Innovation Award for Partners, Citrix recognizes partners for creating the most innovative, game-changing solutions based on Citrix technologies. The award program was developed to inspire partners, prospects and their customers to think differently about IT: as a key strategic component to enable business and organizational success, grow market share or compete beyond the industry norm. Three finalists were selected from all entries received for the 2017 Award, then a winner was determined based on online votes and a panel of IT industry professionals. The award was presented on January 11, during the Citrix Summit 2017 in Anaheim, California. At the same time, Fujitsu was also presented with Awards in four categories of the new Citrix System Integrator Awards program for the Largest Deal of 2016, the Most Innovative Mobility Solution, Most Innovative Marketing, and EMEA System Integrator (SI) Leadership.

Are Video Game Companies Next In Line For Copyright Termination Battles?
from the Betteridgian-answers-may-be-deposited-in-the-comment-thread-below dept
We've seen the beginnings of a battle at major labels as artists are filing to reclaim the copyright to their recorded works. The magical 35-year mark triggered by Section 203 of the US Copyright Act arrived in 2013 for works created in 1978. Each passing year will bring with it another batch of recordings that artists can reclaim from their current and former labels.
The labels aren't too happy with this arrangement (although they seem to be generally chill with the rest of copyright law as it stands) and have made a lot of noise about artists' works being nothing more than works-for-hire, something not eligible for copyright termination.
Dan Rogers at Gamasutra points out that the next few years might see the same sort of defensive activity from video game companies as the termination date rolls up on some old classics. Here's an illustrated list Rogers created showing some of titles due for termination within the next five years.
Rogers also points out that this battle may be short-lived and involve very few combatants, at least much fewer than the recording industry is facing.
This isn't to suggest that the rights to these specific games can be terminated, and my guess is that many were created by in-house teams—thus work created by employees within the scope of their employment. But other games created during these years were no doubt created by outside, independent developers, and these rights could very well be subject to Section 203.It's probably a safe bet that most games created for large companies like Nintendo and Atari were work-for-hire, if for no other reason than these games were created by teams of developers, rather than resulting from the effort of two or three individuals. Not only that, but developers working for game companies are usually referred to as "employees." Artists recording for labels aren't usually considered to be part of the staff. Even thirty-plus years down the road, it's next to impossible for a set of developers to jump ship and retain their IP.
And if developers aren't locked out by contracts specifying their efforts are "works-for-hire," the expansive definition of non-specific exclusions will likely exclude several more game creators.
A "work made for hire" is--Still, there could be few outliers with valid claims for copyright termination, and if there's enough of those, things could get interesting. Chances are that most of these creations are locked up eternally, which works out well for game companies if not so much for the original developers. Unlike other media forms, video game IP can be almost endlessly exploitable, what with new platforms being developed constantly and the easily-triggered nostalgia of lifelong gamers. Companies aren't done milking various 20+ year-old titles to death so they'd likely be unwilling to cough up what's left of the cash cow without a fight.
(1) a work prepared by an employee within the scope of his or her employment; or
(2) a work specially ordered or commissioned for use as a contribution to a collective work, as a part of a motion picture or other audiovisual work, as a translation, as a supplementary work, as a compilation, as an instructional text, as a test, as answer material for a test, or as an atlas, if the parties expressly agree in a written instrument signed by them that the work shall be considered a work made for hire. For the purpose of the foregoing sentence, a "supplementary work" is a work prepared for publication as a secondary adjunct to a work by another author for the purpose of introducing, concluding, illustrating, explaining, revising, commenting upon, or assisting in the use of the other work, such as forewords, afterwords, pictorial illustrations, maps, charts, tables, editorial notes, musical arrangements, answer material for tests, bibliographies, appendixes, and indexes, and an "instructional text" is a literary, pictorial, or graphic work prepared for publication and with the purpose of use in systematic instructional activities.
[Speaking of all of the above (large game companies, development teams, nostalgia), if you've got some time to kill, this collection of 10 years of Atari's internal VAXmail is extremely fascinating, detailing internal bickering and development twists and turns, along with some postmortems of new IP 'field trials' at local California arcades.]
