Amid the hubbub of shopping centers and the din of traffic from nearby Hwy. 61, the cemetery sandwiched between McDonald's and Tires Plus seems jarringly out of place.
Few pause to notice the prim patch of well-tended green, bounded by an iron fence, that holds some of Cottage Grove's earliest pioneers.
The cemetery, designated a historic site by the Washington County Historical Society, has ties to the founders of Mars Inc., the giant candy manufacturing company.
Across the county, another cemetery lies hidden along a gravel road on one of the steep hillsides above Afton. It also holds many of that city's pioneers. Among them are several Civil War veterans, including one known as "the fighting reverend."
Lonely and forlorn, ravaged by vandals and threatened by encroaching buckthorn and other overgrowth from a nearby woods, it is a cemetery in a battle for its life.
Though Atkinson Cemetery in Cottage Grove and Mount Hope Cemetery in Afton are of the same vintage, historic significance and background, their fates have taken decidedly contrasting turns.
The status of Minnesota's historic cemeteries is reflected in these two graveyards.
There are more than 4,000 cemeteries and farm burial grounds in Minnesota; many are abandoned or under threat of vandalism and neglect, their history forgotten. "I would call it a significant problem," said Bonnie McDonald, executive director of the Minnesota Preservation Alliance.
In 2002, the alliance placed Mount Hope Cemetery on its Top 10 list of most endangered historic sites in the state. The cemetery had been abandoned, and Washington County was considering the site as a location for a new radio tower, McDonald said.
Since then, the graveyard has been removed from the endangered list: the county placed its antenna elsewhere because the city's title to the cemetery land was unsettled.
While that may be good news in the short term, McDonald said, Mount Hope still faces the same problems as other historic cemeteries across the state.
"Reinvesting or donating money to preserve cemeteries is a harder sell" compared to buildings, McDonald said. "It takes people."
Two history detectives
Two people, E. Katie Holm and Ken Martens, have taken a special interest in two of Washington County's oldest graveyards, and their work insures that the cemeteries' history won't be lost.
It's not just dry dates and facts, but poignant stories of pioneer lives.
Helped by a grant from the Independent Feature Project, Holm, a Minneapolis writer and photographer, spent about a year researching and documenting the history of Atkinson Cemetery and the lives of the city pioneers who lie there. For her efforts, she was named the city's preservationist of the year in 2005.
"My family has always had an interest in cemeteries and genealogy," Holm said. Specifically, she credits her grandmother for sparking her interest in the stories that cemeteries have to tell.
"Cemeteries show the history of each place -- where it started and where it's been," she said. "They show how people care for their memories."
The cemetery, Holm found, was probably founded on heartache. John Atkinson had been one of Cottage Grove's first arrivals, in 1846. He founded the Universalist Church, set up a private school in his home and became an early city leader. When his 16-year-old son Martin drowned in 1854, he was likely buried on a parcel of land Atkinson owned. That site grew into the cemetery.
In the early 1970s, before the area around it was developed, Atkinson Cemetery had been abandoned for 60 years, so overgrown no one even noticed it was there, Holm said.
Once it was rediscovered, the city, joined by families and the city's Lions Club, began major restoration work. Most of the vegetation, save for a majestic oak tree, was removed. Grave markers were replaced, Holm said, but after years of vandalism and lost records, it's not certain that gravestones were put back in their original spots.
The effort was aided by Forrest Mars, head of the giant candy company whose family -- inventors of M&Ms and Milky Way and Snickers candy bars -- is from the Newport/Cottage Grove area. A large monument in the cemetery pays tribute to the Mars ancestors, though it's unknown if any are actually buried there.
"I would assume there's more people there than there are records for," Holm said. Notably, there is no gravestone for John Atkinson, but it's likely he's somewhere in the cemetery bearing his name. "As far as I know, no one knows where he's buried."
Boy takes an interest
Martens, a local historian who is active in the Afton Historical Museum, first visited Mount Hope Cemetery with his father as a boy, in 1967. The pair hiked up the hillside on Halloween day. "And we had to look for it, because there was no improvement here."
As with Atkinson Cemetery, the first burials at Mount Hope were in 1854, four years before Minnesota became a state.
Among the Civil War veterans buried here, Martens said, is the Rev. Simon Putnam, whose fiery ardor for the Union cause helped recruit dozens ofsoldiers. Many joined the First Minnesota Infantry, the unit credited with turning the tide at the Battle of Gettysburg.
"I call him the fighting reverend," Martens said. Putnam, who founded the Congregational Church in Afton and whose house still stands across from the Afton Historical Society Museum, enlisted at age 39, bringing his 16-year-old son Myron along as a drummer boy.
The Putnams ended up with the Third Minnesota Volunteers. While fewer than 20 members of the unit died in battle, nearly 300 died of disease. That was the case for both Putnams.
The cemetery is actually two distinct areas, Martens said: A Victorian-era cemetery with more ornate stones and formal burial sites and, further into the woods, a primitive burial ground with cruder homemade stones and telltale depressions in the earth with no markings.
"It's been lost and forgotten a lot of times, and then rediscovered and lost again," Martens said. There are 33 burials in the newer portion, though archaeologists suspect there could be 100 more.
Vandals have made it a frequent target, and their damage is still evident. Buckthorn and other vegetation also are encroaching on the site, despite volunteers who occasionally mow it and Boy Scouts who do frequent cleanups, Martens said. "Nature takes over faster than you can clean it up."
Martens has spent much time over the past 40 years poring through records and piecing together the stories of the people buried at the cemetery. "I feel like I'm a detective trapped in a time machine," he said.
Partly through his work, there may be hope for Mount Hope Cemetery.
The city of Afton is in the process of getting a clear title to the land. Once that's done, the cemetery could get the regular care that it needs, said Ken Johnson, head of the city's Public Works Department.
That prospect tantalizes Martens. "There's still mysteries to be solved here," he said. "If we could preserve it, we could probably get to the answers someday."

Everyone wants to make a short trip to Todos Santos, especially when visiting Los Cabos, but no one ever thought of getting there by off-road, until we did! Todos Santos is normally described as a quaint , artisan-type of town wich is true but the route we have created for your enjoyment is certainly, off-the-beatin' path quite a bit!
Rancho La Verdad is an example of a working farm in Baja, where the little bit of underground water supplied by a natural spring makes for quite an efficient irrigational system. Smack-dab in the middle of nowhere! Walking through their vegetable garden, and petting their lovely animals makes you want to absorb all the nature as is possible.
Otherwise known as "Cañon de la Zorra," where you will get to walk right up to a waterfall of fresh water squirting out of granite boulders-of-rock during the winter months. Six hours expedition includes a traditional Mexican three-course meal with two non-alcoholic beverages at the famous El Palomar Restaurant
Seemingly hidden behind the mountain-range you will enjoy maneuver your H2 Hummer. The East Cape has the best snorkeling in Baja California Sur and we give you the gear to wear and time to take a dip. This trek-of-an-expedition through the mountain ranges and fossil canyons is spectacular. Fossils dating back as far as 12 to 20 million years old are visible.

Body of work: Brown offers an object-ive view
"He used me." Whether swindled by a crook like Bernie Madoff or dumped by a spouse for a younger lover, there is nothing quite so humiliating as having one's' thoughts, emotions, and well-being disregarded in the interest of someone else's self-advancement.
Unfortunately, Americans have a long history of de-humanizing others, beginning with slavery and continuing through the promotion of stereotyped identities to sell products (think Aunt Jemima or Uncle Ben). Exposing such willful objectification is the spur for Julia Brown's short video, American Vernacular, currently screening at the Niche in the Fine Arts Library.
The final work in UVA art prof. Lydia Moyer's series highlighting women directors who use performance in their pieces, American Vernacular comprises six vignettes in which humans serve as literally nothing more than useful objects. The video opens with a scene of an old-fashioned cast-iron stove with a pewter pot beneath it and a red brick wall in the background. It's an iconic slice of Americana until, suddenly, an African-American woman slides horizontally into the shot, her head coming to rest upturned on the stovetop as sizzling ensues. She remains expressionless, despite the disturbing snaps and pops, until she again slides out of the frame.
Subsequent scenes involve a white woman doorstop, a black human perfume bottle, a black woman moving white legs like a butter churn, a white woman's head as soap, and a black arm soupspoon. The precise meaning of Brown's racial relationships is elusive, but the human subjugation in each chapter is surreal, disconcerting, and sometimes uncomfortably amusing.
Trained as a painter, Brown sets up each scene with an eye to how light and every detail contributes to the overall composition. For example, in the episode in which a white woman primps while an African-American woman sits poised and motionless, waiting to spout perfume like a fountain, a mirror beautifully reflects the curve of the human bottle's back. Brown also masterfully uses her palette to thread the scenes together with repeated use of pastel shades, dark red, and pewter grey.
Unlike several series artists who regard the camera as simply a recording device, Brown takes advantage of video's cinematic possibilities. She varies the camera's angle with each vignette and uses its subtle movement to enhance several scenes. Brown's creative soundtrack and skilled synching also contribute to American Vernacular's success.
Visually arresting and provocative, American Vernacular prods viewers to think again about privilege and human consumption.
Julia Brown's video, American Vernacular, is on view through May 31 at The Niche in the Fine Arts Library. Fiske Kimball Fine Arts Library, Bayly Dr. (across from the Architecture School). For more information, visit the Niche website.

Listen to Panda Bear's "Tomboy" album on NPR
edited April 2011 in Side Projects
NPR is streaming "Tomboy" until it's released on April 12th. Check it out here: http://www.npr.org/2011/04/03/134987319 ... ear-tomboy
why must you turn this board into a house of LIES! __<" title="mad" />
yea, we'll be having a track-by-track review later today. check the Tomboy thread for more info.
[quote="G.O. [!]"]why must you turn this board into a house of LIES! __<" title="mad" />[/quote] What?
That's just GO. Don't worry, he doesn't bite.
Thanks for scaring off another nice person, G.O. I'm gonna spank you. Now I have to email them and apologize. Seriously! Not the first time either!!!
People who look down on someone will see a fool, look up and will see a god, look straight at and will see yourself. (Charles Manson)
uhhh...wow. I...don't know what to...say.
I still haven't listened to it. I feel like I have a will of steel right now. I'm waiting and I hope I got the clear vinyl.
I know what to say: maybe it's not such a great idea to quote the guy with a swastika on his forehead. Lol. Tigers, I'm impressed. I listened to it the moment I found out it was available. You've made an investment now -- don't give in to temptation! The experience will be all the better for having waited to do it the way you really want to.
Thanks for the support Dave! I just tell myself that if I listen to it now I won't get the clear vinyl (karma?) plus I just bought some really great albums to soak in (Microcastle by Deerhunter and The Flying Cup Club by Beirut) and those are very enjoyable to soak in.
i know you'll love microcastle! yeah ive tried not to listen to it anymore until it comes out, unless i do the group record thing with everyone here
I do love Microcastles so much, dude! I've listened to it so many times and it just gets better and better!!
i never really got in to Halcyon Digest but i loved Microcastles instantly..
UGH!!!  I was working on a list of all the stuff that's happened in 2010 into 2011. when i went to post it it made me log back in and didn't post it. _<;" title="stressed" /> i went back to see if it would still have it on the previous page where i typed it. no dice. that's the 2nd time it's happened to me. __>" title="stare" /> i'm not gonna type all that shit again because i'll have to look up all the dates again and that took alot of digging through articles etc..
And he guest DJ'd last week on All Songs Considered...I'm a little late posting, but I didn't see it anywhere else. http://www.npr.org/2011/03/29/134949521 ... panda-bear
That guest DJ set was tops. I listened to all of Tomboy after denying myself the pleasure for a few days (totally caved on waiting for the vinyl) and think Sonic Boom did an outstanding job with the mixing. Some songs (like "You Can Count On Me") sound completely different, and definitely feel fuller and more refined. In the Pitchfork interview with Noah, he talks about how AC have been putting together a live set for their 2011 tour since January. I absolutely cannot wait to hear it; I'm making the drive from Tampa, FL to Chicago, IL for the July 15th show and have my fingers crossed for a Fireworks/Essplode/Who Could Win A Rabbit set (although I'm not quite holding my breath). Anybody else have a lapse in self-control and give this baby a listen yet?
Yeah. Haha I told myself I would wait until the vinyl got here. Listened to the NPR stream ten minutes after it went up...
will of steel! I just got a note from Insound that my order has been processed so i'll definitely be getting it by the release date anyways. Yesssssssss!!!!!!!
Yeah same! Can't wait!
*high five!*
Stupid question: if I pre-ordered it, from whom did I do so? Because I do not remember. Oh, that's right, I was waiting to buy it at our record store on Record Store Day. I listened to the stream and found it intoxicating. The first few songs segue better than anything I've heard outside Sunset Rubdown in recent years.
I haven't received an email from Insound yet... I really hope my pre-ordering it later than most people doesn't hurt my chances of getting it by the release date.
weeeee mine got mailed today so i will get it next week  Edit. the mail says that i got i clear vinyl edition
I've been such a slacker! Finally ordered mine just now. Shall stream in the meantime.
Never mind what I said before. Got the email from Insound. Cannot wait to get the CD in my hands. I streamed the album once, and I really enjoyed it, but I think it deserves a more careful listen with some headphones.
There is a higher quality MP3 version floating around now that sounds heaps better then the stream.
Where is this magical version? I think my vinyl is shipping within 24 hours...yippeee!
One of you guys who are ordering the CD should totally rip a lossless version and convert it to FLAC and upload it on a torrent site
guys i told you there's a CD rip on newalbumreleases.net!!! 320kbps. Check the TOMBOY LEAK thread!!!
I'm new here...sigh...
eh s'cool. i might've posted it in just the Tomboy thread so sorry on my part!
oh mikkisays.net has it as well.
That's cool -- I didn't even know there were websites for album leaks.
Yea I found these to by downloading stuff through torrents and finding links to the sight in the containing folders. I got the ODDSAC album  from mikkisays some time ago. There's one called itleaked.com that a buddy uses too but you gotta sign up to use it. I'm not about all that. I prefer anonyminity. I'm sure there are others but those are the two I check often.
I've been on a trip in Mexico all week so this is my reactions Wow!!!! Even the tracks I was meh about sound very fleshed out. Sonic's mixing is top notch and really brings out the best in these tracks. And the old songs that were singles sound like old familiar friends with some new tricks. It's really dense and I'm really happy with the final product, I like how this feels like a very cohesive album and a very fleshed out pop production. probs an 8.5 from me did you guys read the hipster runoff tomboy post. found it hilarious even if i thought differently and i consider HR a satire anyway. is it ALT to rave about tomboy? Will P-fork "pan the eff out of Tomboy" like they did with the king of limbs?
what's "alt"? confused >.<
just read HRO for a while........
I bet Pitchfork will give Tomboy the "Best New Music" label, which will be well deserved. I downloaded the leak and listened to it again. I really love it...cannot freaking wait to get the physical copy. I only ordered the CD, but now I wish I ordered the vinyl as well... I've been collecting vinyl records lately, and Tomboy would be a great addition.
There's still time! I just ordered it on wed and it will be delivered on tues. Yay.
I'm getting mine on Monday! I think the Surfer's Hymn single is coming in soon too.
Good album. Ahh I'm still in top ten posters on this site.
the ghost of you lingered on this board a PHANTOM!
which made me a victim and that left me NOTHING! |)

October 04, 2007
LOS ANGELES - Alfred E. Osborne, Jr., Ph.D., UCLA Anderson School of Management's senior associate dean, associate professor of global economics and management, and founder and faculty director of the Harold and Pauline Price Center for Entrepreneurial Studies, will receive Southern California Minority Business Development Council's (SCMBDC) 2007 Leadership Award.
SCMBDC, the region's leading minority business advocacy group, will recognize Dr. Osborne at its 23rd Annual Leadership Award dinner on Friday, October 19. The event will be held at The Beverly Hills Hotel, located at 9641 Sunset Blvd. The reception begins at 6:30 p.m., followed by dinner at 7:30 p.m. This year's title sponsor and honorary dinner chair is Toyota Motor Sales, U.S.A., Inc.
The council's Leadership Award is given to an individual and/or corporation whose achievements and leadership in the business community have resulted in positive results for small and minority-owned businesses, according to John W. Murray, Jr., president of the council.
"Since the mid-1970s, Dr. Osborne has advised, counseled and encouraged scores of graduate students in business at UCLA," Murray says. "In particular he has been, and remains, a truly outstanding champion, supporter and mentor to minority men and women pursuing their graduate degrees and beyond into their entrepreneurial and business careers.
"SCMBDC-certified entrepreneurs who have completed the Management Development for Entrepreneurs program innovated by Dr. Osborne at The Price Center speak glowingly of the tools they acquired to enable them to strengthen and grow their businesses," he adds. "Dr. Osborne and SCMBDC believe deeply that strengthening minority-owned businesses strengthens the economy overall. The council is overjoyed to recognize this outstanding business leader."
"I am delighted to be recognized by SCMBDC on this occasion and am deeply honored to join the group of distinguished honorees who are past recipients of this Leadership Award," says Dr. Osborne. "Building the capacity for entrepreneurs from diverse backgrounds to succeed in our economy has been a passion of mine and I am humbled to know that our efforts at UCLA Anderson Price Center have been of positive value to so many business owners and managers over the years."
As senior associate dean of UCLA Anderson, Dr. Osborne oversees a variety of key areas and initiatives within the school, including development, alumni relations, career and corporate initiatives, career management and executive education.
The Price Center, which Dr. Osborne founded in 1987, oversees all teaching, research, extracurricular, and community activities related to entrepreneurship at UCLA Anderson. The center provides a set of academic and extracurricular experiences designed to prepare MBA students for the challenge of business management in entrepreneurial environments.
A corporate governance expert, Dr. Osborne formed a Director Training and Certification Program designed to help officers and directors of private firms prepare for the higher level of scrutiny that comes when they take their companies public. This Price Center program also educates directors and officers regarding SEC regulations, FASB considerations, NASDAQ rules and the current best practices in corporate governance.
Dr. Osborne is also an expert in social entrepreneurship who has developed several programs that apply business models to the nonprofit world. For more than 13 years, The Price Center has created and run innovative management development programs, including three in partnership with health care giant Johnson & Johnson: Head Start - Johnson & Johnson Management Fellows Program, UCLA/Johnson & Johnson Health Care Institute and the Johnson & Johnson/UCLA Health Care Executive Program. Other programs include The Institute for the Study of Educational Entrepreneurship (ISEE) and the UCLA/Los Angeles County Office of Education Head Start Leadership Institute.
Dr. Osborne currently serves as a director of Kaiser Aluminum and Equity Marketing, Inc., and has served on the corporate boards of K2, Inc., Times Mirror, US Filter Corporation, Greyhound Lines, Inc. and Nordstrom, Inc. among others. Special appointments include chairman, Telecommunications Supplier Diversity Task Force at SBC Communications, and chairman, Consumer Advisory Council VIII: The Minority Business Task Force at Pacific Bell.
He has served as an economic fellow at the Brookings Institution and directed studies at the SEC that contributed to changes in Rule 144, Regulation D, and other exemptive requirements to the securities laws designed to lower costs and improve liquidity and capital market access to venture capitalists and emerging growth firms alike.
He has received many awards and honors, including the Richard J. Riordan Spirit of Entrepreneurship Award and the BridgeGate 20 Award, which recognizes contributions to the high technology community in Southern California. In 2004, the faculty of the UCLA Anderson School presented him with the 2004 La Force Award for exemplary service and leadership to the Anderson community.
Dr. Osborne was educated at Stanford University where he received his Ph.D. in business economics, MBA in finance, M.A. in Economics, and B.S. in electrical engineering.

To make them personal, I bought chalkboard paint and painted the label part of the jar. For this you'll need....
Chalkboard Paint, I bought mine at walmart for $9.99. I went to Lowe's and their's was twice as much. I wanted to make my own, so I could make something other than black. My hubby, Ted, talked me into buying it already made. I'm so glad he did!
Primer, You need to do this before putting the blackboard paint on.
Painters Tape, optional. I used it on some and found it was easier to just paint freehand. If it's out of the lines a little, it doesn't matter. It just shows it's homemade! <3
Paint brushes, I used a 1 and 1 1/2" brushes.
Lids, that go on fast food drink cups. Ask next time you are there, chances are they'll give you some. ~smile~
Chalk, to write names on glasses
Straws, to give with the glasses. Plain or fancy ones.
Ribbon, to tie the straw to the glass.
Clear coat, to paint over the chalkboard, if desired.
Now, get everything set up on your table, turn on some music, put your newsfeed up on facebook and paint your day away! Very simple to do!
Start with the primer. Let it dry. Paint a second coat.
Paint chalkboard paint once the primer is dry. Repeat once or twice more. I painted three times.
Paint clear coat on if desired.
There you go!

It has now been a month since I took on this attempt to write and, like I've mentioned before, I haven't really done this since my high school days so I don't necessarily remember everything I should have learned in English class. But thanks some reading of other great blog posts out there I've learned, or actually re-learned, a couple of things about writing.
First, I can actually begin a sentence with the words "and" or "but". I know. I thought it was against the rules too. Here check out this great post from Stef at Dodging Commas that explains it. Apparently, it is acceptable to begin a sentence with "and" or "but" provided it is executed sparingly, appropriately, and skillfully. If you're paying attention to that last sentence then you'll see how this leads me to the second thing I've learned.
That is, the "oxford comma". It is often debated by many over its necessity. I am from the school of thought that it isn't necessary but after some pondering I've come to the conclusion that it is logical so I will support it and use it.
Which side of the fence are you on about ands, buts, and oxford commas?

I was sitting on the kitchen floor the other day with my iPad, half-in and half-out of the doorway to get some of the feeble WiFi reception that dribbles down from the modem upstairs; my husband was nearby, pushing tiny strips of fish finger into Kitty's sparrow-mouth followed by a spoonful of beans.
"Na naaaaaaaaa," said Kitty, her mashed-up food slowly collapsing from its position on the roof of her mouth to flop onto her tongue. She then keeled forward gently to rest her forehead on her highchair tray, her fat grubby hands splayed on the plastic either side of her face. She's been doing that a lot recently; I don't know what it means.
Then an email arrived from someone I used to work with at The Times, called Claire. That makes me sound terribly grand, doesn't it? Like we used to write long witty pieces about the increasing popularity of traditional parlour games at Notting Hill dinner parties. In reality I worked part-time on the Times Magazine's reception desk and she was the chief sub-editor, which meant that if everything went perfectly no-one thanked her but if anything went wrong it was all her fault.
It wasn't the easiest place to work, the Magazine, especially not when you were a) the receptionist and b) part-time; it made you officially the lowliest person at the entire newspaper because at least the messengers got a bit of paid holiday and knew their way around.
And there were some horrible people. Not horrible, horrible - people always think working at newspapers is like All The President's Men and working at magazines is like The Devil Wears Prada but in actual fact it's just some grubby open-plan office with towers of dusty paper and the faint smell of lick.
Most newspaper or magazine offices could be anywhere. And the horrible people were just boringly horrible. They didn't make catty, arch, comments that sent you racing to the ladies' to sob, they just sort of refused to acknowledge you because you were so lowly and shit.
But Claire was always lovely to me. She looked me right in the eyes when she talked to me and never did a thing where I'd say something and she'd look at me as if my chair had started talking. Among other people who were nice to me were Hannah Betts, (with whom I became obsessed and started copying the way she dressed), and my husband.
I only spoke to my husband once on the phone when I was working at The Magazine - when he had so much post that I had to send a parcel van to his house to take it all and had to ring him to ask when he'd be at home to receive it. We had an unexpectedly nice chat. He is terribly friendly, my husband - much friendlier than you think he's going to be and I was astonished at his bothering to make jokes on the phone. When you work on reception and send people their post, no-one bothers to waste jokes on you or or tries to be charming. And when they do, you notice.
So I hunted him down and married him. Ha ha! (No, seriously.)
Anyway, so Claire emailed me and said Hiya, I'm working in PR now - do you want some free stuff? I usually absolutely catagorically say no to any freebies because it makes all this feel far too much like work. And it feels so self-important and crass to mouth off in some kind of superior way about what I think about this brand of biscuits or that kind of oat-free snack.
But you remember people who were nice to you when you were really little and shitty and want to do them a favour, for what it's worth.
So: Dorset Cereal's Gingerbread Porridge is actually pretty excellent. It comes in a chic brown box with a cute picture of a runaway gingerbread man on it. In the box are 10 sealed paper sachets of porridge that you can mix with milk and cook in the microwave or on the stove. I thought it was delicious and I don't even really like porridge.
Although it says it's limited edition, which probably means that it is only available in a few select branches of Waitrose within the M25.
That's the thing about PR: 50% of it really works - you just don't know which 50%.
Amy I haven't forgotten about your request for child-friendly fish pie. Coming soon. Like, tomorrow.

This is the newly redesigned Kia Optima Hybrid, revealed today at the Chicago Auto Show. You might think you've seen it before, especially since we're more than a month into 2014. But you'd be wrong.
Kia says they've made one of Edmunds' "Top 11 Most Fuel-Efficient Sedans for 2013" even more efficient now, perhaps in the hopes they'd cut that list down to the top 10. Weirdly, EPA fuel economy ratings stay the same: 36/40 for the Optima Hybrid LX and 35/39 for the uplevel EX. This is despite neatly redesigned front and rear fascias aimed at efficiency.
Oh, there are new wheels. They're attractive. But they don't help the fuel economy any further. That's a new eco-minded fender badge, too.
And... that's the 2014 Optima Hybrid. It's perfect if you thought the 2013 wasn't efficiently styled enough.

The New Kremlinology: Decoding The Signals Of Future EU Copyright Enforcement Moves
from the rearranging-the-chairs dept
The negotiations behind closed doors of major treaties like ACTA and TPP, and the refusal of participants to release official drafts or to engage in any kind of substantive dialog, has meant that activists and observers have been obliged to seize upon even the smallest signs and hints emerging from those talks in an attempt to guess what is going on. In a way, we are witnessing the birth of a new form of Kremlinology, which Wikipedia explains as follows:
During the Cold War, lack of reliable information about the country forced Western analysts to "read between the lines" and to use the tiniest tidbits, such as the removal of portraits, the rearranging of chairs, positions at the reviewing stand for parades in Red Square, the choice of capital or small initial letters in phrases such as "First Secretary", the arrangement of articles on the pages of the party newspaper "Pravda" and other indirect signs to try to understand what was happening in internal Soviet politics.
Via Guillaume Champeau, we learn that PCInpact (original in French) has spotted a treasure trove of such subtle hints about what's happening within the EU on the copyright enforcement front. It's a document entitled "Report on the online distribution of audiovisual works in the European Union", drafted by the Committee on Culture and Education, and submitted to the European Commission.
It's couched in an apparently interminable sequence of deadly dull clauses beginning "having regard to..." and "whereas...", before launching into a long list of mostly reasonable ideas for making more cross-border digital content available in the EU. But hidden away amongst these are some breathtaking suggestions.
Here, for instance, is Section 39:
Calls on the Commission to afford internet users legal certainty when they are using streamed services and to consider, in particular, ways to prevent the use of payment systems and the funding of such services through advertising on pay platforms offering unauthorised downloading and streaming services;
That may sound familiar, since it's identical to one of the core ideas of SOPA: cutting off all funding to sites accused of permitting unauthorized downloads.
Here's Section 42:
Recognises that, where legal alternatives do exist, online copyright infringement remains an issue and therefore the legal online availability of copyrighted cultural material needs to be supplemented with smarter online enforcement of copyright while fully respecting fundamental rights, notably freedom of information and of speech, protection of personal data and the right to privacy, along with the 'mere conduit' principle;
This, by contrast, is straight out of ACTA, where Section 27 says:
Each Party shall endeavour to promote cooperative efforts within the business community to effectively address trademark and copyright or related rights infringement while preserving legitimate competition and, consistent with that Party's law, preserving fundamental principles such as freedom of expression, fair process, and privacy.
Note the same empty promise to respect various rights that is completely undermined by the other part requiring copyright enforcement that ignores them. The only real change is that "effective" has been upgraded to "smarter".
This trick of mixing contradictory demands is repeated in Section 59 of the EU report:
Calls on the Commission to consider ways to encourage network operators to standardise their technical tools and reverse the current trend of removing responsibility from these operators regarding consumer protection, implementation of intellectual property rights and ensuring Internet privacy;
So, on the one hand, network operators are supposed to protect consumers and maintain their privacy, while on the other, they will be forced to become responsible for enforcing intellectual monopolies -- losing that "mere conduit" status that was invoked in Section 42 above -- and turn in accused customers to the authorities.
All-in-all, this is an extraordinary document, in part because of its repeated call for contradictory actions, but mostly for the way it asks the European Commission to bring back some of the worst ideas in SOPA and ACTA. New Kremlinologists will obviously need to keep a close eye on missing portraits or the re-arrangement chairs in order to glean further information about the secretive plans that are being discussed deep within the bowels of the EU machine.

Today I checked in a change on some code which turned out to be not working at all due to something rather stupid yet very crucial. I feel really bad about it and I hope I finally learn something from it. The stupid thing is, I've done these things before and I always tell myself, next time I won't be so stupid... Then it happens again and I feel even worse about it.
I know you should keep your chin up and learn from your mistakes but here's the thing: I try to improve myself, I just don't see how I can prevent these things from happening.
So, now I'm asking you guys: Do you have certain groundrules when testing your code?

Amanda Darby
I have spent many years trying to fundraise and i have often found it frustrating, like so many of you have.
This was... until i found out about the NYC Marathon campaign in 2009.
This was such a hip, media savvy, fun campaign. It involved tens of thousands of people, it only asked for small amounts of money yet gave amazing giveaways, along with witty responses. It was a great thing to be a part of.
The campaign was such fun to be a part of. It showed a whole wave of us a new way of fundraising.
Then came Crowdrise.
This has given us a grassroot, media platform to our projects.
It has enabled us to reach a vast amount of people, setting a wave in motion across other media platforms. Creating a fun, friendly atmosphere to discuss and promote all the projects close to our hearts.
It also allows us to support each other and offer friendship and advice.
Please take a look at the projects i have, i care about each of them greatly.
Jaime and myself have become good friends through the site, we have now decided to go to Kenya next year and further our involvement with the MWCT, by teaching in one of the schools. We have launched several projects benefiting the MWCT.
(Maasai Wilderness Conservation Trust)
Please take a look!
Thank you!

Recycling gets another look from county
Commission wants to implement curbside pickup with cities' help
News editor
After a pair of county-sponsored recycling programs fizzled out in recent years because of poor return on investment, Marion County is considering a recycling program on a larger scale.
Transfer Station Director Rollin Schmidt told county commissioners on Tuesday that he had investigated other options for recycling. A recycling center in Hutchinson would pay the county an amount based on commodity prices if the county delivered recycling to the center, he said.
Sending trailers to Hutchinson would take more time and fuel than sending them to the Butler County Landfill, but it would save $35 per ton in landfill fees. The main logistical problem would be keeping trash and recycling separate, but Schmidt said he could set aside certain days or business hours for recycling.
Commission Chairman Randy Dallke said if the county implemented a recycling program like that, he would want cities to pick up recycling like they do trash. The cities of Marion, Hillsboro, and Florence conduct their own trash pickup.
Commissioners agreed that recycling would work best as curbside pickup. They plan to arrange meetings with Marion, Hillsboro, and Florence city councils to discuss cooperating on recycling.
In other business:
- Marion County will be the first county in the state to allow agricultural lot splits without a road frontage, Planning and Zoning Director Tonya Richards said after the commission approved a recommendation from the Planning Commission. Lot splits without a road frontage will require approval by the Planning Commission and County Commission.
- Richards met with the commission in closed session for five minutes to discuss job performance. No action was taken on return to open session.
- Because of favorable claim ratios in recent years, the county's health insurance premium with Blue Cross Blue Shield decreased about $47,000. The county pays the premium for a single policy for each full-time employee; employees may pay the difference for family coverage.
- Schmidt met with the commission in closed session for five minutes to discuss a new hire. No action was taken on return to open session.
- Robert Sellers will buy an unused trailer from Road and Bridge Department for $357.
- County Clerk Tina Spencer met with the commission in closed session for five minutes. On return to open session, the commission approved giving Cherry Miller 30 days to use 62.5 hours of vacation that were set to expire.
- The clerk's office will purchase a scanner from CDW-G for $534.
The next commission meeting is scheduled for Monday.

In fact, SJH was only one of three 2A schools to receive a "Team Superior" plaque. There are approximately 20 2A schools in the state currently.
"I'm really proud of how my students acted at the event," said SJH drama teacher Ann Jennings. "Even though some of our students didn't receive a medal, they had excellent performances and received high rankings. I know that they will continue to grow in their art and do even better next year."
Of the 16 students who attended the State Festival, 10 of them received superior medals.
Students receiving a superior medal included the following: Austin Seiter, humorous monologue; Nathan Webb, humorous monologue; Samantha Bergeman, dramatic monologue; McKenzie Adams and Morgan Glover, pantomime; Victoria Black and Alana Benallie, classical scene; and Becca Black, Kortney Johnson and Jessica McDaniel, classical scene.
"I know one of the coveted events, according to the students, is the showcase round," said Jennings. "Both of our classical scenes made it to that round, as did our pantomime. Our girls represented our school well."
In addition to the individual event medals, the cast of the one-act play "Mind Games" each received a superior medal for their performances.
"Mind Games" was one of three one-acts (out of five) to receive a superior medal.

Arizona Cardinals Tickets
Arizona Cardinals Tickets Tickets Rated 0.00/5 based on 0 customer reviews 100 0
Every year there's one team in the NFL losing quarterbacks left and right and scrambling to maintain an otherwise solid season. The 2014 Cardinals took that to an extreme, starting three quarterbacks in Carson Palmer, Drew Stanton, and Ryan Lindley and playing a fourth in Logan Thomas. The team still put together a 9-1 start and finished at 11-5, but frustratingly lost at Carolina, statistically the worst postseason team in history, as Lindley stood no chance. What a shame for an Arizona squad that had the league's fifth-best scoring defense. The inconsistency had a huge effect on the production of their dynamic receiver duo, Larry Fitzgerald (63 rec, 784 yards) and Michael Floyd (47 rec, 841 yards). Their running game between Andre Ellington and Stepfan Taylor was terrible, and they neither signed a notable running back (Jonathan Dwyer doesn't count) nor drafted one in the first two rounds. Although they signed excellent center Mike Iupati, the personnel changes defensively raise questions. CB Alfonzo Dennard is a downgrade from CB Antonio Cromartie, LB Sean Witherspoon replaces LB Sam Acho, and DE Cory Redding replaces DE Darnell Dockett. They do have a plus at coach with Bruce Arians. While this presents a test for Arians, the team he currently has was never expected to contend in that division anyway. The Arizona Cardinals operate under head coach Bruce Arians at University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale. They've won 21 games over the last two years under Arians but appeared in just one playoff game, the loss in Carolina this past season. The Cardinals franchise is one of two 1920 charter members of the NFL still in operation (along with the Bears), although they've only been in Arizona since 1988. The Chicago Cardinals, as they were known until 1960, moved to St. Louis before the move to Arizona. In 27 seasons in Arizona the team has made the playoffs just five times, peaking in 2008 when Kurt Warner led them from a wild card through to a Super Bowl loss against the Steelers. The current regime could bring forth unprecedented success for a team that has made the playoffs in back to back years just three times and nine times overall in 95 years of football. They have six division titles and just the one Super Bowl appearance, but two NFL Championships. The Cardinals look to get back to the playoffs, and they've got a good shot to do it. 2015 home games include New Orleans, San Francisco, St. Louis, Baltimore on Monday night, Cincinnati, Minnesota on Thursday night, Green Bay, and Seattle.

Caring is vet's greatest strength
Staff writer
New Spur Ridge Veterinary Hospital veterinarian Cade Moses describes himself as a steward of animals.
What he means is sometimes caring more about animals than about his own well-being.
Moses grew up on a ranch near Colby. During the winter, every member of his family went out during snowstorms to secure cattle inside of the warm barn.
"If it's a blizzard, you don't get to go inside and drink hot cocoa," he said.
That's Moses communion with large animals. He understands that world because he was a part of it. One of the reasons the recent Kansas State University graduate appealed to Spur Ridge owner Brendan Kraus is his love for dogs and cats, too.
Moses and his wife of six years, Tiffany, have four yellow labs — Icon, Izzy, Ellie, and Zeke — at their Herington home.
"Some women collect shoes," he said. "My wife collects dogs."
He understands the emotional connection people have with their pets. When he arrives home after working with animals all day at Spur Ridge, his dogs greet him with a 30-minute sniff fest.
"They think I'm cheating on them," he said. "How dare you play with other dogs."
The point is — Moses cares about animals and people. This is the main reason Kraus was interested in hiring Moses full-time. Moses had previously worked for Spur Ridge the summer of his senior year in more of an internship capacity. It would seem as though caring would be a fundamental part of being a veterinarian, but Kraus said it is a trait that cannot be taken for granted.
"That's not something you can learn," Kraus said.
Moses said he is interested in providing the best quality medicine that he can. That means going through a few extra details. For ranchers, he wants to work with producers on strategies. For example, putting cows in the right position before breeding and precisely diagnosing pregnancy.
"It's important that each cow has a calf," he said. "The goal is we try to make sure we have provided the best quality of life."
He also works with people concerning family pets as well. Spur Ridge has up to date radiology, dentistry, and ultra sound equipment.
"Some clinics still get by on equipment from 20 years ago," Moses said. "(Kraus) invests back into his practice."
On the patient level, Moses said it is Spur Ridge policy to always conduct an exam even if an animal is in the office for a simple vaccination.
Kraus said Spur Ridge and Moses are a good fit. He thinks Moses and Marion will make a good fit, too.
Tiffany Moses works as a vet in Junction City. They split the difference between their two jobs by living in Herington. Both coming from Colby, they're interested in living in a small rural town.
"That was at the top of my list," Moses said.
They are also about to start a family. Tiffany is six months pregnant with the couple's first child.

10 Best Hotel Rooftop Bars in Europe
Take in Old Town Prague from the terrace at the opulent Hotel U Prince, with romantic vistas of Prague Castle, Old Town Square (and its picturesque Astronomical Clock Tower), the Powder Tower, Petrin Hill, and more. Specialty cocktails pair well with an eclectic international menu; just note that table reservations are taken for dining only. The fun continues through inclement weather and into the cooler winter months, too, when the terrace is covered and heaters are installed.
Top 5 Most Fashionable Cocktail Bars in Prague
Slip back to a time when cocktails were served in their correct glasses with hand-made ice cubes and bartenders had more than just charming good looks. Named one of the Best 50 Bars in the World by the Sunday Times, it beat out the competition of the other four on this list of top cocktail bars in Prague. During the weekend there is a piano player and singer who serenade the Gatsbyesque crowd with her sultry voice and his bygone era tunes. Everything about Black Angel's- the chandeliers, the tables, the menus are chic. It looks pretentious, but with prices that are affordable for all, it's one of the best deals in the city.
Opposite the parliament building in Prague lies the Hotel U Prince. This building originates from the 12th Century, and the heavy stone and massive style of the hotel's furniture are clear evidence of this. The hotel's well established restaurant can be found on the top floor of the U Prince. This is a key meeting point for locals and hotel guests, especially during the summer. From here, guests have a captivating view of the roofs of the historic city of Prague.

The Olympic Stadium's suitability for football after the Games has been questioned by the chairman of one of the clubs bidding to become tenants at the £468million venue.
Leyton Orient chairman Barry Hearn has waged a long campaign for his club to play matches at the stadium after the Olympics - and launched a legal challenge when West Ham were initially chosen ahead of Tottenham.
Hearn told Sky Sports News: "We're looking at it but, I have to say, after my tour of the stadium, I become more and more convinced that this stadium is not fit for football purposes."

Microsoft's announcement that it will contribute to the development of the jQuery JavaScript library and enhance interoperability between jQuery and ASP.NET caught a lot of developers and project managers off-guard, causing them to play catch-up in regards to what jQuery is and howit can play an important role in enterprise projects.
The idea behind jQuery is to simplify the task of getting a selected subset of DOM elements to work with. In other words, the jQuery library is mostly intended to run queries over the page DOM and execute operations over returned items. But the query engine behind the library goes far beyond the simple search capabilities of, say, document.getElementById (and related functions) that you find natively in the DOM. The query capabilities of jQuery use the powerful CSS syntax which gives you a surprising level of expressivity. For example, you can select all elements that share a given CSS class, have a given combination of attribute values, appear in a fixed relative position in the DOM tree, and are in particular relationship with other elements. More importantly, you can add filter conditions and chain all queries together to be applied sequentially.
The root of the jQuery library is the function defined as follows:
var jQuery = window.jQuery = window.$ = function( selector, context ) { return new jQuery.fn.init( selector, context ); };
Nearly any jQuery script is characterized by one or more calls to the $ function -- an alias for the root jQuery function. Any line of jQuery code is essentially a query with some optional action applied to the results.
When you specify a query, you call the root function and pass it a selector plus an optional context. The selector indicates the query expression; the context indicates the portion of the DOM where to run the query. If no context is specified, the jQuery function looks for DOM elements within the entire page DOM. The jQuery root object performs some work on the provided arguments, runs the query, and then returns a new jQuery object that contains the results. The newly created jQuery object can, in turn, be further queried, or filtered, in a new statement as well as in chain of statements; for example:
The call selects all DIV tags with a CSS class attribute of Tooltip. Written that way, however, the code has no significant effect. The $ function selects one or more DOM elements and that's all of it. It just returns a new jQuery object that contains the DOM elements. The resulting set is known as the "wrapped set". You can grab the size of this set by calling the size method, as shown below:
Any function you invoke on the wrapped set is called for each element in the set. For example, consider the following code:
The query selects all DIV elements currently hidden where the class attribute equals Tooltip. Each of these hidden DIV elements is then displayed using a fade-in algorithm that takes half a second to complete.
You can also loop over each element in the wrapped set using the each function:
$("div.Tooltip:hidden").each( function() { this.fadeIn(500); } );
The each function gets a JavaScript callback function and plays that function for each element. The difference between the function each and a manual JavaScript loop lies in the fact that the function each automatically maps the this object (as in the snippet) to the element in the collection being processed. The callback function, however, also receives an integer parameter being the 0-based index of the iteration. If you are interested in using this piece of information, you just add a parameter to the definition of the callback passed to each.
$("div.Tooltip:hidden").each( function(index) { : } );
As you can see, most of the time by simply calling the function directly on the wrapped set you obtain the same effect as writing the loop yourself. The each function is reserved for special situations where you need to employ some application-specific logic to determine the action to take.
