Very few people have taken in the magnificent view at the top of the Shard, the modern new tower that will be the tallest in Western Europe when it is finished in about a month's time. But last February, and in the dead of night, PhD graduate Bradley Garrett got together with two friends from London's urban exploration community to trespass the building and "place hack" it. After Garrett uploaded some of the vertigo-inducing photos of the city below to his blog over the weekend, the interest was so great that placehacking.co.uk stopped loading because of the deluge of traffic.
"It's so iconic. That's why we wanted to climb it," Garrett, 31, said in an interview with Forbes today. "You look at it and you think, 'This is the tallest building in Europe and we don't know if we can get away with it.'"
The place hackers didn't so much break into building with a crowbar as wait for the right moment to practically walk in. According to Garrett's blog, they entered the site at around 2am from a temporary wooden walkway near London Bridge train station. From the base they could peer up at the soaring building that would eventually look like a narrow pyramid, its tip jabbing into the stars above. When the walkway was clear of people, and a single security guard had gone into his hut, the team grabbed onto some scaffolding pipes and swung off the bridge, then on top of another walkway. They lay down and out of sight for a while, before descending down some more scaffolding, and behind the security hut where they guard was now watching TV.
Garrett and his two friends ran across the yard to find the building's central cement stair case, and started their long climb to the top. At first they were enthusiastic taking two stairs at a time, but after the 31st floor, Garrett was sweating heavily and well aware that the sweat would sting when they came out onto the roof. From there on they took the stairs at a more steady pace. As they neared the top the the men found the cement stairs had turned into metal ones, and then wooden ladders. At 76 stories they threw open a final hatch and found themselves at the top of the building, already with an incredible view but one remaining step: a tall builder's crane that was jutting into the sky.
Holding his nerve, Garrett climbed the counterweight of the crane. "We were so high, I couldn't see anything moving at street level," he said. "No buses, no cars, just rows of lights and train lines that looked like converging river systems, a giant urban circuit board." One of the men who Garrett only names as "Gary," even sat inside the cab of the builders' crane and pretended press a button, exclaiming "Watch this, I'm going to build the Shard!"
Though it was a thrilling experience, Garrett told Forbes that others from group of place hackers he was working with, known as the London Consolidation Crew, had already gone up the Shard about "half a dozen times" in the "entire span of 2011." They had decided to release the photos from their February climb because it had been a cold, crisp night that made for better picture-taking conditions, and this weekend because the Shard was due to be completed in June.
Does he worry about getting in trouble with the authorities? "I've been caught," Garrett admits. "I've done 300 locations in eight countries in the past three years and been caught twice." But punishments are tame. When guards realize that place hackers are more interested taking photos than spraying graffiti or stealing copper, they simply ask them to leave. If the cops are called in, they tend to get more irritated with a guard for not doing his job properly, Garrett adds. The hope is that in being so transparent about his research and identity, he won't risk getting riling up the authorities.
Garrett got involved in place hacking via his PhD, which involved three years of intense research and finished last February. He based his thesis on studying the London Consolidation Crew, a group that explores hidden parts of the city such as the 32 "ghost" stations in London's subway system or the vast tunnels in London's 19th century sewage system. "It's utterly beautiful," Garrett says of the sewers. "The Victorians used to visit them and we've lost that."
Garrett, who currently supports himself through freelance writing and filmmaking, went from being an observer to a participant in urban exploration in order to better write his PhD, which was funded by private donors. He found a range of motivations among the people involved in the pursuit of what he describes as "urban excavation."

India skipper Sourav GangulyĀsaysĀthe team management and selectors are looking for a full-time wicketkeeper to take the pressure off Rahul Dravid, but theĀreplacement must prove his potential and match the vice-captain's performance behind the stumps.
"Dravid was always a part-time option... selectors are giving opportunity to others, but the wicketkeeper must stand up and perform as Dravid has done," Ganguly told newspersons inĀKolkata on Thursday.
He said the selectors are trying to findĀa suitable replacement for Dravid, but "there is no hurry" as the next season begins only in October.
Talking aboutĀtalented teenage keeper Parthiv Patel, the skipper said, "The selectors have given him a chance to prove his worth in the coming England tour by India 'A'. But, Patel has to prove his batting potential to earn a place in the senior national side," he said.
Patel has beenĀincluded in the 16-member India 'A'Āteam for the England tour, beginningĀJune 22.Ā
Asked to comment on veteran speedstar Javagal Srinath'sĀ retirement plans, Ganguly said he isĀyet to get an official intimation from the Karnataka speedster.Ā
"It will not be fair for me to make any remark without knowing the exact position, but as a fellow cricketer who played along with me for 7-8 years, I can say that he still has a lot of cricket left in him," he said.

On school closings, a political ploy
The promise of a five-year "moratorium" on school closings – "announced" by new CPS chief Barbara Byrd-Bennett and "endorsed" by Mayor Emanuel – has all the fingerprints of a master at political gamesmanship.
The Tribune is certainly right that the offer is intended "to help sell drastic school closings this year." And CTU financial secretary Kristine Mayle is certainly right that it's intended to push the closings as far as possible from the 2015 mayoral election, as she tells the Sun Times.
It would also seem to take away a major issue that drives the grassroots school reform movement here, which is the biggest challenge to Emanuel's domination. It even co-opts their call for a moratorium.
But for all its political oomph, it's lacking in other areas – including basic logic, as Julie Woestehoff of PURE points out.
If "chaotic, disorganized closings are such a bad idea," as Emanuel said in backing the idea, why demand yet one more round of them before you agree to stop, she asks at PURE's blog. "It sounds as if the mayor is saying, 'I promise to stop beating you after I get in this last round of punches.'"
She points out that parents have heard promises of community engagement time after time, and that the argument that school closings are necessary to close the district's budget gap don't measure up to reality (as Sarah Karp has detailed in Catalyst).
Byrd-Bennett's insistence that the closing of 100 or so schools has nothing to do with the plan to open 60 new charters also strains credulity.
There are also basic practical and policy problems. Most immediate is the problem of deadlines at schools that require applications. One reason the legislature imposed the December 1 deadline for announcing school actions was to allow parents to consider those options.
Is CPS going to push the application deadline back to May, after the board votes on 100 school closings? When are parents going to find out where their kids are going next year? How much uncertainty and confusion is going to flow from this purely political edict?
Then there's the utilization standard that CPS uses, which is deeply flawed. If the new commission studying that issue were to come up with meaningful reforms, they would take more than a few weeks to implement – though they could provide a much more accurate picture of the district's building use.
On top of that, CPS is asking the state legislature to move back the January deadline for a draft of a ten-year facilities master plan – so the wholesale closing of 100 or more schools would be done with no assessment of the future needs of the school districts or the communities being impacted.
Today CPS claims it has 100,000 "empty seats." A year ago the figure was 80,000; a year before that, 230,000. It all depends where you set the "data point."
Compared to other school districts, CPS's method of measuring utilization is "really rudimentary," indeed, "almost primitive," said Mary Filardo, a school facilities expert with the 21st Century Schools Fund who works with districts around the country. She's also a pro-bono consultant with the state legislature's Chicago Educational Facilities Task Force.
At CPS, someone downtown fills in the number of classrooms and the number of students. One-quarter of a school's classrooms are allowed to be "ancillary" – going for "non-homeroom uses" like art, science or computer labs, recreation rooms if there's no gym, and other purposes. All the rest are expected to have 30 students. If it's a kindergarten class with 21 students, those are nine "empty seats."
"It doesn't make any sense," said Filardo. It doesn't matter if the room actually has 18 pre-K students or if it's a self-contained special ed room with five autistic students – those rooms have 12 and 25 "empty seats" respectively. There's no accounting for whether the school has a gym or lunchroom or playground, or whether a classroom converted to a science lab can fit the same number of bodies as a classroom full of desks.
[Indeed, the legislation governing utilization standards requires CPS to consider "the requirements of elementary and secondary programs, shared campuses, after-school programming, the facility needs, grade and age ranges of attending students, and use of school buildings by governmental agencies and community organizations." CPS's standards do none of this; it's not hard to see why CETF has charged that CPS isn't meeting the requirements of the law.]
Other districts have "far more sophisticated" approaches to utilization, she said, accounting for how each room is being used. Some districts even have standards that provide for smaller class sizes in high-poverty schools, which is what research recommends.
New York City publishes a detailed report on utilization in its 1,500 schools every year. ("It's important to understand that a building's capacity changes" as grade configurations and programs shift, Filardo points out. "Capacity is a function of programming.") It's based on surveys by principals who report the function of each room in the building. Capacity is calculated differently by grade, room size, and program use.
If CPS were to shift to a utilization standard that better measures capacity – which it should – it would take more than three months to design and implement.
Filardo has a very general, big-picture measure of CPS's overall capacity (you can find it in CETF's final report): Chicago has 624 school buildings with a total of roughly 60 million square feet. With 400,000 students, that's about 96 square feet per student.
That's far below what's found in other districts, where the national averages range from a low of 125 square feet per student in elementary schools to 156 in the top 25 percent; in high schools, where class sizes are larger but programming more varied, it's even higher, ranging from 156 square feet per student to 185 in the top quadrant.
It might be time to take another look at this year's mantra of "100,000 empty seats."
The Raise Your Hand coalition just unveiled a data base on elementary schools which reveals that 76 percent of CPS elementary schools have at least one overcrowded classroom.
Principals and LSCs have been doing "walkthroughs" to check on CPS utilization reports for their schools, and many are reporting that CPS didn't even get the number of rooms in the school right, according to Jackie Leavy, an adviser for CETF and longtime community activist.
"We found several schools listed as underutilized that had overcrowded classrooms," said Lashawn Brown of CPS's South Shore Community Advisory Council. One school that had very low teacher-student ratios on the state report card had 44 kids in a third grade class, she said.
She said principals sometimes accept larger class sizes as the price of an additional art or music teacher.
"I really believe schools should have a chance to have art and music and computer labs," Brown said. Determining utilization "needs to be a more thoughtful process that focuses on the children and their needs."
Dwayne Truss of the Austin CAC did walkthroughs at five Austin elementary schools and writes at Austin Talks that he found many CPS utilization reports that "contained inaccurate data."
One issue he raises: schools in low-income areas get federal Title 1 funds, and principals can elect to use them to reduce class sizes. Under CPS's utilization formula, their buildings are rated educationally "inefficient."
"With CPS' formula of 30 children per classroom, is CPS stating that using Title 1 funds to reduce class size in [schools] serving students from impoverished, high crime, high unemployment communities a 'bad thing?'" he asks. These schools are most definitely using their space effectively, he insists.
One school he visited, Mays Elementary, makes full educational use of the "ancillary" classrooms its allotted by CPS. In addition, six rooms are used by the YMCA for an after-school program, which serves 175 kids. (Such use by community agencies to bring services and provide enrichment in underserved communities is "a best practice," Leavy said.)
Figure in the six rooms for the after-school program and Mays' space utilization rate goes from 45 percent to 54 percent, even by CPS's broad standard of 30 students in a class. In reality, class sizes at Mays range from 18 in Kindergarten to 32 in 8th grade. Scores at Mays have been rising steadily, in some subjects dramatically, over several years.
Austin has been hit hard by foreclosures, but Truss insists the neighborhood is "going to come back." That's another problem: making permanent facility decisions under the spur of an immediate financial crisis and absent any long-range planning.
"Planning is a really critical part of budgeting and particularly in making infrastructure decisions," said Filardo. "If you're going to close something permanently, that's a long-term judgment, and you want to have a plan."
Instead CPS has dragged its feet on drafting a ten-year facilities master plan, and is now asking the legislature to postpone the due date.
Filardo said the school facility reform legislation mandating the ten-year plan required intergovernmental and inter-agency collaboration, which she calls crucial. "Municipal planning and educational planning really need to be linked," she said.
"The neighborhoods where they are closing schools are going to come back from the foreclosure crisis; there's going to be infill development in the neighborhoods where public housing was demolished," said Leavy. "Nothing is as constant in Chicago as neighborhood change."
She points to one of the first schools CPS closed ten years ago and one of the few to be demolished: Jacob Riis Elementary, just west of UIC. "Today there's all kinds of development going on there."
"Tearing down a school costs tens of millions of dollars because they were so well built in the 1920s, and it's going to cost way more than that to build the new school you're going to need to serve that redevelopment," she said. School construction costs have risen dramatically in the past two decades.
"There are lots of way to be penny wise and pound foolish," she said. One is "making public policy for the short term."
And, she points out, "the idea that 'right-sizing the district' is going to be some kind of fiscal magic bullet has not been proven at all….Other urban districts haven't saved a lot of money" by closing schools. (In Washington D.C., Karp reports, school closings actually produced no savings.)
"Responsible use of public assets and taxpayer money needs to be based on facts," she said.
Under Emanuel, a politically-driven, needlessly adversarial drive for a longer school day left lots of confusion and little space for collaboration and planning over the past year, and ultimately led to Chicago's first school strike in 25 years. Top-down political domination of the school district has led to shifting personnel throughout the CPS administration and "chaos on Clark Street."
Now a political drive to remove legal protections for school communities and schoolchildren – 30,000 of whom could be affected if 100 schools are closed – threatens more chaos, with decisions based on flawed data, and with no consideration given to long-term impacts.

Not I, But Christ
Some have compared chapter seven of Paul's epistle to the Romans to a starless sky, whereas chapter eight - which sets forth the secret of the believer's victory over sin - is like a mid-summer morning with the promise of a brighter tomorrow.
Set aside what you are doing for a while and read chapter seven of Romans and compare it to chapter eight. What a contrast! Chapter seven describes a completely defeated individual; one who has endeavored to employ every means of self-effort to achieve a holy life, but has failed.
The reason for the failure is clearly evident in this chapter. It is the pronoun "I," that appears therein twenty-seven times in reference to this defeated individual. Too numerous to cite in this short article, the following few passages exemplify the person's quandary: In verse fourteen he states, "I am sold as a slave to sin." In verse fifteen he says, "I don't do what I would like to do, but instead I do what I hate doing." In verse nineteen, he confesses, "I don't do the good that I want to do; instead I do the evil that I do not want to do."
The above statements describe the frustration of a person who sincerely desires to live holy and pure, thus endeavoring to attain to the requirements of God's laws. He attempts to accomplish this by his own human effort, using his own moral integrity and ethical character, but ends with a resounding defeat. He sadly discovers that all his endeavors to rise to the requirements of God's laws by human ability are unable to sanctity – they do not make him holy and pure, as God requires. He realizes that the dictates of the laws of God are impossible for him to attain in his own power – by his own ability.
As you read this article, perhaps you're thinking, "Hey, the writer is talking about me; what he's writing describes me perfectly!" Using your human abilities, you may have made multiple attempts to live a victorious Christian life; however you are still bound by that sinful habit, still doing things that you know should have no part is a believer's walk with Jesus Christ. You are frustrated, about to give it all up. "After all," you my be thinking, "I gave it more than a good try. I gave it everything I had. I just can't live as God's Word teaches that a Christian should live." So, in frustration, you're giving it up – quitting.
Some time ago, I dealt with a man who had given up the Christian life. Yet, he admitted to me that he realized he should return to Christ. "I really do desire to live for Christ, but each time I try, I fail; so I quit trying," he stated. He had been attempting to live as a victorious Christian ever since he surrendered to the Lord at ten years of age. By the time I met him, he had given up on it as a useless and impossible accomplishment. He informed me that he finally realized he was too weak.
"I would serve Christ for one or two weeks and then I would fall away for months and sometimes years at a time. So what's the use of trying to do something I can't do?" he said to me.
Without realizing it, this person had been living in Romans, chapter eight, verses one through seven. It was my joyous privilege to guide him into Romans chapter eight, verses one through thirty-nine: "There is now no condemnation for those who live in union with Christ Jesus. For the law of the Spirit, which brings us life in union with Jesus Christ, has set me free from the law of sin and death. What the Law could not do, because human nature was weak, God did. He condemned human nature by sending his own Son, who came with a nature like man's sinful nature, to do away with sin. God did this so that the righteous demands of the Law might be fully satisfied in us who live according to the Spirit, and not according to human nature. Those who live as their human nature tells them to, have their minds controlled by what human nature wants. Those who live as the Spirit tells them to, have their minds controlled by what the Spirit wants. To be controlled by human nature results in death; to be controlled by the Spirit results in life and peace. And so a person becomes an enemy of God when he is controlled by his human nature; for he does not obey God's law, and in fact he cannot obey it. Those who obey their their human nature cannot please God . . . For if you live according to your human nature, you are going to die; but if by the Spirit you put to death your sinful actions, you will live. Those who are led by God's spirit are God's sons [children]" - (Roman chapter eight, verses 1- 8 & verses 13 - 14; Good News Bible, Today's English Version).
I read the above passages to this young man, explaining to him that to him that one of God's blessings to every believer is the cleansing, sanctifying power of the Holy Spirit in our lives. I pointed out to him that it is the Holy Spirit who grants us victory over sin. When he grasped the truth of the power of the Holy Spirit to cleanse him, he yielded to Him completely. For more than a decade now, he has been enjoying a victorious life in Christ. He and his wife have become pillars in their local church and they have been instrumental in winning others to Christ and nurturing them to Christian maturity.
This same victory can also be your own, but you must believe that it is for you. The Apostle Paul wrote, "So far as the Law is concerned . . . I am dead – killed by the Law itself - in order that I might live for God. I have been put to death with Christ on his cross, so that it is no longer I who live, but it is Christ who lives in me. This life that I now live, I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me and gave his life for me" (Galatians, chapter two, verses 19 – 20; nineteen and twenty, Good News Bible, Today's English Version). Believers already are crucified with Christ Jesus. Their old nature is dead and it now is Jesus Christ who is imparting his life to their new nature!
Perhaps you're thinking, "Sure, Josprel, that's easy for you to say, but it really isn't practical. I don't see how I can accomplish this in my life."
My response to your comment is that you first eliminate that small pronoun "I" from your quest to gain victory over sin, because you're correct, you cannot gain such a victory in yourself. But the Jesus Christ can do so for you! It is the ministry of the Holy Spirit, through the finished work of the Lord Jesus Christ, to cleanse and to sanctify the believer. All we need do is to yield to the Holy Spirit within us. As the Apostle Paul wrote, it is a "Yet not I, but Christ" victory a believer must attain.

It's finished object Friday, but who knows the policy on hand knitted socks? Are socks not finished until you have a completed pair? Can you celebrate finishing a single sock? If I ruled the world I would say yes.
I'm now officially halfway through my Christmas sock knitting. I only have 3 months to finish the other three socks. Totally doable. Hopefully I won't be scrambling on Christmas Eve.
The yarn is Lorna's Laces shepherd sock in desert flower, which I've always claimed as my signature lorna's color, but so many new colorways have been created in the last couple of years it might be time to choose a new signature colorway. Desert Flower reminds me of my twenties. I need a new color for a new decade.
Got any recommendations? What would be your lorna's laces signature colorway?
Check here for lorna's colorways and let me know what you think in the comments.

Do you think this will get me to the front of the line at Wendy's? Maybe I should try it at Applebee's next time, too.
Thanks for the article reference. This was one I really enjoyed reading. Funny how times have changed with regard to tipping.
I don't know that times have changed. I think this was probably the rule for a very long time. Of course, I usually get a seat near the dumpsters when I go out, so what do I know?

Future Fuels Institute at Florida State University Recognized as a Waters Center of Innovation
Analytical Technology Fueling Institute's Fundamental Energy Research
Nov 15, 2011, 10:00 ET from Waters Corporation
MILFORD, Mass., Nov. 15, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Waters Corporation (NYSE: WAT) today welcomed the Future Fuels Institute at Florida State University, Tallahassee, Florida into its Centers of Innovation Program. The Future Fuels Institute under its director, Dr. Chang S. (Sam) Hsu, is pioneering research into the development of fuels from fossil and renewable energy sources to meet future global demands for energy. The Institute is the first such Center of Innovation in the field of energy research.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20110707/NE31586LOGO )
"Dr. Hsu is one of the world's most accomplished researchers in the field of petroleum research and his contributions to the field are well-recognized," said Tim Riley, PhD, V.P. of Strategic Innovation, Waters Division and Program Director of Waters Centers of Innovation program. "It gives us great pleasure to recognize the Future Fuels Institute and support its ongoing research through our Centers of Innovation program."
A focal point of Dr. Hsu's research is research into biofuels derived from natural and renewable source materials. These include solid biomass such as wood, saw dust, agricultural wastes and non-food crops converted into ethanol, biobutanols, gasoline, jet fuels and diesels. He and his staff are also active in researching technology for turning algae into non-ethanol-based nautical, aviation and automotive fuels.
"Everyday life depends on ready sources of energy and fuels," said Dr. Hsu. "Sustainability of energy supplies and harmful emission reduction for dealing with climate change are central themes. We established the Future Fuels Institute to address these pressing issues and needs."
Dr. Hsu's career in the petroleum industry spans more than 30 years. During that time, he published three books on such topics as the chemistry of diesel fuels, analytical advances for hydrocarbon research and practical advances in petroleum processing, eight book chapters, 13 patents and more than 120 other publications. Dr. Hsu is a past president of the Chinese American Chemical Society and a recipient of numerous awards.
Central to the Institute's research capabilities are Waters liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry systems for looking at the molecular composition of heavy oils and biomass feeds/materials in order to better understand the chemistry of these products and optimize processes for making them.
About the Future Fuels Institute
The Future Fuels Institute pursues collaborative activities in fundamental science, enabling technologies and applied knowledge in the areas of fuels sciences and technology to promote education, outreach and training.
The mission of the Institute is to conduct fundamental and advanced scientific research and to develop and promote technology for efficient production and use of renewable fuels, such as biofuels and green fuels, and fuels derived from difficult hydrocarbon resources, such as heavy oils and synthetic crudes.
As a part of Florida State University, the Institute will collaborate with visiting scientists/engineers and professionals in fuel science and technology from member companies, and provide education and training to undergraduate and graduate students, and postdoctoral fellows.

The number of women seeking abortions in California has fallen to its lowest level in decades, mirroring a national decline that has left the U.S. abortion rate at its lowest mark since the procedure was legalized in 1973, according to a study released Monday.
About 23 of every 1,000 women of child-bearing age had an abortion in California in 2011, down from 44 in 1991, the study shows. Nationally, about 17 of every 1,000 women of child-bearing age had an abortion in 2011, compared to about 26 in 1991.
In 1973, the year of the Supreme Court decision Roe vs. Wade, the national abortion rate was 16.3 per 1,000 women.
The study by the New York-based Guttmacher Institute, a nonprofit that supports abortion rights, did not look specifically at why the number of abortions is dropping. But the authors suggest that the decline is not related to a raft of state laws that tightened abortion requirements in many parts of the country between 2011 and 2013.
Instead, lead author Rachel Jones notes that pregnancy rates have been falling, perhaps a result of the weak economy, and that contraceptives are improving.
The number of abortions, according to the study, still remains generally high in the United States: At current rates, about one in three women will have an abortion by age 45. The procedure, though, is very safe, the study notes, with less than 0.5 percent of women experiencing a complication.
California's abortion rate is higher than the national average largely because the state does not have major restrictions on the procedure, such as waiting periods or public financing limits, the study suggests.

Welcome to AWC's online library of Legislative Bulletin and CityVoice news articles and other updates.
Published on Tuesday, September 3, 2013
The sweeping of the Public Works Trust Fund was a major disappointment for cities during the 2013 Legislative Session. They transferred all available funds from the Trust Fund and directed most of the future tax revenues for the Trust Fund into K-12 education for the next six years. You can read more on our website here.
Department of Commerce staff is currently conducting a survey of all jurisdictions on the 2014 loan list to find out if and how projects are going forward. We encourage cities to respond to the Commerce survey.
AWC would also like to hear from you about projects that will not go forward without a loan or about increased financing costs and administrative burdens for loans that are financed in a different matter. Please tell us your stories and let us know if you would like to be involved as we develop a strategy for future state assistance for local infrastructure. Please submit your stories or questions to Alison Hellberg.

We want to be a place where young children can experience God, and where parents can feel nurtured and supported. On Sunday mornings we offer nursery care and during the school year, also offer Sunday School for infants and children in grades K through 5th.
On Sunday mornings, about fifteen minutes into the service, the children are "sung" forward to the front of the church, called by name—"Come, come, come and sit down, you are a part of the family."
After a brief children's sermon (we call it "Sermon from the Steps"), toddlers may go to the Nursery, and K-5th children may go to Children's Worship.
Children of any age are always welcome to worship with their families for the entire service. Packets of crayons and a booklet with puzzles and pictures to color are available from the ushers. Some children bring Legos or books and play quietly on the floor at their parents' feet.
Our congregation is patient with the noise and fidgeting we all expect from children (the sounds of children make us a lively, vibrant church!), but if a parent is having a hard time worshiping because of a fussy child or infant who is not quite ready for the nursery, he or she may go to the "family pew" or to the Fireside Room, where the service is broadcast on closed-circuit television. Both areas have books and small toys for children.
On Sunday morning, very young children and infants may be taken to the nursery before worship, starting at about 9:45. Our nursery caregivers are supervised by the director of the San Anselmo Preschool, Elizabeth McGrady.
Godly Play
Children age K-grade 5 may attend Children's Worship. Those age 4 through 2nd grade may attend Godly Play in Room 206. Godly Play is a curriculum built on the premise that children already know God and we tell the stories of our faith (stories from the Bible, based on the church calendar, and stories about the sacraments). In the careful telling of stories, and sharing of wondering questions, adults help children develop a language to express what they already know about God. (And in the process, adults learn something, too.)
Seasons of the Spirit
Children in grades 3-5 may attend Seasons of the Spirit in Room 203. Seasons of the Spirit is a lectionary-based curriculum that incorporates Bible stories, crafts, drama, guest speakers, contemplative time, and prayer. Children have opportunities to explore scripture and faith using a variety of activities that engage all learning styles. Our teachers are trained volunteers from the congregation who are familiar with the curriculum and have a great love for God and children.

CDE Infrastructure
CDE provides standard help APIs and GUI dialogues, but it also delivers a feature-rich SGML DTD (document type definition) compared with the more limited HTML DTD used on the World Wide Web. CDE's help links support hypertext, definition, man page, execution and application-define links. CDE documents are pre-processed for quicker loading. Since these binary- formatted documents are not human-readable, one of their added benefits is that they cannot be reverse engineered when copied, thus preventing copyright infringements. Publishers who provide documents in HTML format are at a disadvantage because complete unabridged duplicates can be made from most browsers.
CDE's ToolTalk is a message brokering system that enables applications to communicate with each other without having direct knowledge of one another. Application clients and servers can be developed independently, mixed and matched and upgraded independently through plug-and-play. Applications registered to handle message requests act as servers for applications that broadcast their requests. Message brokering is an evolutionary step beyond file sharing, peer-to-peer and ICCCM inter-client communication.
The Graphical Desktop Korn Shell provides much of the desktop's Motif GUI, services, help, workspace management, session management and ToolTalk plug-and-play. Developers can prototype and deploy with the standard ksh93 scripting language. This means that small to moderate-sized programs can be written, then interpreted on any CDE-compliant system without any additional work.
The dtksh shell script in Listing 2 is a conversion of the C program that was illustrated earlier. Unlike the popular Tcl/Tk shell and GUI, dtksh has a nearly one-to-one migration path to native Motif for performance. With dtksh, code can be easily migrated, and developers find that their knowledge transfers easily between C and dtksh.
CDE not only provides a new set of Motif, Drag-and-Drop, Desktop Widget, Help, ToolTalk and DtKsh APIs, but it also provides system services in which applications can participate and follow. The desktop services provide the login manager, session manager, color server, workspace manager and ToolTalk server. It is tempting to provide these features in large software suites; however, if developers try to mimic these desktop services, precious development time and energy is taken away from creating the actual products.
The desktop login manager provides the basic X display manager protocol (XDMCP) to manage login sessions for X terminals on the network and workstations on the desktop. The login manager starts up the X server on the bitmap display; it also initiates the session manager.
The session manager uses a set of conventions and protocols that enable the desktop to save and restore a user's session from one login session to the next. Using the session manager, users can also configure a set of sessionetc and sessionexit scripts to be called when logging in and exiting respectively. This enables user-defined tasks to be performed at login and logout.
The key responsibility of the application is to acknowledge the WM_SAVE_YOURSELF message when the desktop is being shut down by the user, as shown in Listing 3. The WM_SAVE_YOURSELF saveProc routine tidies up for the application, then sets the WM_COMMAND property to be saved and reused later by the session manager to restart the terminated applications.
The session manager acts as the color server that controls foreground and shadow colors, limits color use and restricts the creation of colors in the color map. Using applications that conform to the color server reduces the depletion of the color map and coordinates the color scheme of the desktop. If the color map does become depleted, an "unsocial" application is usually lurking somewhere.
The desktop window manager (dtwm) serves as the default window manager for the desktop and extends the capabilities of the Motif window manager. It provides a control panel for the desktop to launch applications. Its multiple screens, or workspaces, allow users to switch between screens.
Desktops are often considered mutually exclusive end-point solutions, such as web browsers or collaborative software suites. However, CDE views them as application groups or workspaces being managed and serviced by the desktop infrastructure. The desktop window manager is ideal for managing workspaces for Internet suites and collaborative tools.

The only way to meet international poverty targets is by a massive switch to renewable energy, such as solar power, a UK think-tank says.
The New Economics Foundation (Nef) says the cost of climate change and oil scarcity will otherwise scupper attempts to help the world's poorest.
It wants an end to subsidies for fossil fuel projects, and nuclear power.
Over the next decade, it says, two billion of the poorest people should be given access to clean energy.
In a report, The Price Of Power, Nef says: "Renewable energy is the great, barely-tapped solution to the two great challenges of the coming century - poverty and global warming."
It says the costs of natural disasters mostly linked to global warming reached $60bn last year, with the warming triggered by the burning of fossil fuels - coal, oil and gas.
Small scale
The report says a single year's worth of World Bank spending on fossil fuel projects could be spent instead on small-scale solar installations in sub-Saharan Africa, providing electricity for 10 million people.
Reshaping our energy supply holds the secret to ending poverty and preventing global warming. Small-scale renewables remain the best answer for communities and the environment
Andrew Simms, Nef
And a year's worth of global fossil fuel subsidies could "comfortably" pay off sub-Saharan Africa's entire international debt burden, leaving billions of dollars to spare.
The report says these subsidies amount conservatively to about $235bn a year. It argues that they both distort the global economy and hold back the development of renewables.
This, Nef says, is worsened by the failure to factor into the price of fossil fuels the direct costs of damage caused by the emission of carbon dioxide, one of the main greenhouse gases.
The UK government estimates the cost at £50 to £200 pounds per tonne.
Andrew Simms of Nef said: "Around the world control of fossil fuels is linked to corruption and violence.
"Burning them causes climate change which in turn puts an impossible obstacle in the way of ending poverty.
"Reshaping our energy supply holds the secret to ending poverty and preventing global warming. Small-scale renewables remain the best answer for communities and the environment."
The report says governments should adopt several key targets for spreading the availability of renewable energy.
They include: Implementing the target of the G8 group of industrialised countries to provide at least one billion people with renewable energy by 2010, and increasing the target of access to clean energy by the poorest people to two billion over the next decade
Reforming international financial institutions to allow a "dramatic" increase in funding for renewable energy sources in developing countries
Phasing out World Bank group subsidies to fossil fuel projects by 2008, and all government subsidies for fossil fuels and nuclear energy.

Nov 15, 2012, 11:24 ET from Centerplate
PALO ALTO, Calif., Nov. 15, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Centerplate, America's leading event hospitality partner to the country's top stadiums, entertainment venues and convention centers, has opened the first permanent team store for their NFL partner, the San Francisco 49ers. Located at Town & Country Village in Palo Alto, CA, the team store will be open seven days a week through the remainder of the football season, allowing more 49ers fans than ever to sport their team's colors. As part of this exciting 49ers season, Centerplate and the 49ers hosted a grand opening of the new 49ers Team Store, with fans lined up around the block to get to be the first inside the store.
The 1,800 square foot 49ers Team Store offers all the newest styles of 49ers apparel, including the latest authentic team gear from Nike. While this is the first permanent team store location, fans should also be sure to check out the Shop 49ers mobile trailer in Justin Herman Plaza on weekdays in San Francisco which will also be operated by Centerplate.
"There has been an incredible level of excitement among 49ers fans this year, and we knew we could do more for the 49ers and their fans to build off the exciting start to the season," said Scott Marshall, Senior Vice President of Retail Merchandise and Fan Innovation at Centerplate.

Prices today begin at $1.750M (2 Bedroom) and upwards of $5.450M (4 bedroom). Last year was considered the turnaround for the local Sunny Isles Beach market and notably T.O.C. values as we looked at aggressive prices and sales to match. Today there are 5 recent pending contracts and 2 closed sales from $1.875M (2 bedroom) to $2.2M (3 bedroom). I believe Turnberry Ocean Colony South & North Towers will still have a strong year ahead having noted the market bottom in 2009 with 26 closed sales averaging only $581 psf at steep buyer discounts.

Hostel option in Revelstoke Oct 09, 2011
Only stayed here for one night so I didn't get such a good feel for the place. it's in an old house and as such everything is very boxed in (the kitchen backed onto our room). They have quite time from 11-9am which seemed to be fairly well enforced but not being able to do anything before 9 isnt so good if you are leaving etc.
It was $25 which is not so bad for Canada, however no Breakfast is included and the rooms should really be 4 pax instead of 6.
Upstairs they have free pool and darts as well as a selection of games. revelstoke itself wasn't so apealing to us.

In this video, Mara begins her journey to Ireland to fulfill a lifelong dream. She discovers that traveling gluten-free can be both fun and challenging. Mara also marvels at the beauty of the Dingle Peninsula. Watch as she gives inspiration to those on gluten-free diets from around the world!
©2011 Creative Control Films
Wtg again Mara…so proud of you and Kevin!!! You look like a pro…well, I guess you are dear…you know all about this gluten free business!! See ya soon dear
Well done you are amazing next time you come to Ireland I would like to meet you & cook a lovely Gluten Free meal for you.
I'm from barcelona. going on vacation to Dublin. I appreciate you told me gluten free restaurants in dublin. send me email at email@example.com
Such a powerful and informative site. This is an awesome and much needed resource!! I will be sending all my gluten-free clients your way.
Glad you enjoyed the visit to Ireland, Mara. I have to agree with you about being made feel normal when asking for the gluten free options in restaurants in Ireland. I've travelled a lot elsewhere in Europe, and I've found asking for GF food to be a risky business, even in London UK! Back home in Ireland the condition is well understood, and thanks to the Coeliac Society of Ireland restaurants are able to get advice on how to serve great tasting safe food to Celiacs. Hope you come back some time!
Great video Mara! I have been putting off overseas travel and even research for years now even though I am a gluten-free blogger. I look forward to watching more.
Hi Mara,
Well, we are so excited about our new Gluten-Free Certification Program (GFCP), which is actually owned and endorsed the Canadian Celiac Association (CCA). Now when you travel initially to Canada and eventually other countries, you can look and ask for the GFCP mark to receive the added assurance that products displaying this certification mark only have met the stringent Health Canada regulation on gluten and further, gone through the added rigours of a third-party GF management system audit.
For more details everyone can visit either http://www.celiac.ca or http://www.glutenfreecertification.ca
We all have the right to safe food!

After a Florida judge set George Zimmerman's bond at $1 million on Thursday, the neighborhood watch volunteer's attorney took to his website to solicit donation funds, WKMG reports.
Zimmerman's attorney, Mark O'Mara, released a statement on GZLegalCase.com, seeking donations for his clients bond.
"George Zimmerman and his family do not have anywhere near $1,000,000 for collateral," O'Mara wrote. "So even if we pay the $100,000 fee, the bail bond company will have to agree to work with us on how the collateral would be posted."
Circuit Judge Kenneth Lester, who revoked Zimmerman's bond in June for misleading the court about how much money he had, said he set the bail significantly higher to circumvent the possibility of Zimmerman using hidden funds to flee the country.
However, O'Mara said the donations to his client's legal fund decreased while Zimmerman awaited his bond hearing and asked civillians to offer a helping hand:
For those who have given in the past, for those who have thought about giving, for those who feel Mr. Zimmerman was justified in his actions, for those who feel they would do the same if they were in Mr. Zimmerman's shoes, for those that think Mr. Zimmerman has been treated unfairly by the media, for those who feel Mr. Zimmerman has been falsely accused as a racist, for those who feel this case is an affront to their constitutional rights--now is the time to show your support.
Judge Lester's decision comes one week after a bond hearing where prosecutors argued Zimmerman and his wife spoke in code on recorded jailhouse conversations about how to transfer donation funds to a different bank account.
Martin family attorney Benjamin Crump released a statement sharing the family's response to the ruling.
"Trayvon's parents would rather that the killer of their unarmed child remain in jail until the trial," he said. "However, they respect the ruling of the court and the strong message that the judge sent that deference to judicial integrity is paramount to all court proceedings."

Heart and Seek
Heart and seek is a multi-site installation of small embroidered hearts. As well as the suspended heart in the gallery, Fahey has embroidered hearts in public places around Footscray, inviting the viewer to find them, and to also make their own.
Fahey says that the work is 'about knowing the place in which you live and finding the love in all the nooks and crannies'.
Little. No BIG
Level 1, 119 Hopkins Street
Sunday February 5th 2017
1 – 3 pm
Gallery open through February
Wed – Sat 12 – 5pm or by appointment
Further work can be discovered on the streets of Footscray and beyond. Tag your discoveries #heartandseek
You are invited to contribute to this work – and your community! Here are the instructions for making your own heart. Please consider these instructions as a guide: use whatever colours, materials, techniques that take your fancy.
x Red wool – can be obtained from your local op shop, your own craft stash or raid someone else's, or any colour wool, or cotton, or anything that you can find that's long and strippy 🙂
x Time
x A fence or grating with either diamond or square grid. Make sure it's not too small as you need to get your fingers in the gaps and wriggle them around a bit.
x A friend or two – ʻcause these things are always more fun with mates
Part A: Finger Knitting
Step 7: Repeat steps 4-6
Step 8: After about 7-10 rounds a ʻsnake' of knitted wool will be forming behind your hand. Pull on this snake to lengthen and tighten it.
And that's it!
Now time to keep knitting. You'll need about 5 metres for each heart you want to make. Once you have about 5 metres of knitted wool, cut the wool and tie it round your finger knitting to knot it. Don't worry about this looking too attractive; it'll get chopped off during the fence stitching process.
Part B: Fence Stitching – Cross Stitch Technique
You can make up your own design but here's a simple heart pattern to follow:
Now these photos aren't as clear due to the whole night time installation aspect of this kind of thing. Turns out my camera doesn't like taking close shots of bright red wool at night with a flash…
But you'll get the drift.
This tutorial is based on a stitch done on a diamond shaped chain link fence. If you've struck gold and found a square grid fence, the directions will be slightly different. I've italicised the extra bits.
Step 1: Figure out where you're going to start. You want your stitching to be nicely centred. Don't rush this process! Count it a couple of times if you need to. Make sure your design has enough room without running into the edge of the fence, or into a broken bit of fence. See if you can find the fence in Footscray where I forgot this crucial step!
There's your first cross!
Now a brief pause to talk about tension. It's really important to keep all your stitches tight! Firstly because it looks better, secondly because it lasts longer and finally and most importantly because it uses less wool! All that time finger knitting – best to use it efficiently! I usually stop every couple of stitches and give everything another tug to make sure it's nice and tight.
Step 6: When you've finished the pattern, tie your wool off as tight as you can. As with your original knot, make sure it's super secure.
Step 7: Cut off the extra wool. Make sure you leave a couple of centimetres spare just so the wool has a little bit to move before coming undone. Remember your stitching has to brave the elements so it will all move a bit over time.
Part C: Fence Stitching – Weaving Technique
This technique is heaps easier and quicker and really only works on diamond shape chain link fences.
Get yourself a bundle of wool to work with. I usually wrap it around my hand about 30 times and then cut it off. Tie one end onto an intersection on the fence. Wrap the wool over two diamonds until the whole area is covered. Continue wrapping along but only covering one diamond. Tie it off and cut the string. In the picture below you can see how it will look and where the ends are tied off.
These hearts work best on smaller fences, or if you do a whole bunch of them. Here's an amazing fence a group of craftivists did in Wellington. Don't you love the colour!
Congratulations you just spread your love into a little corner of your community for everyone to share. Pop a picture on instagram or facebook and tag it #sharethelove so even more people can see!

We are aware of missing faculty photos in the directory and catalog and will be updating them shortly. Thank you for your patience.
Spring 2018 quarter
Taught by
Understanding natural history is an important part of being an ecologist in the 21st century. This program provides opportunities for gaining needed skills and knowledge through seminars, lectures and extensive fieldwork. Spring in the Pacific Northwest is a great time to get outside and observe the natural world. Students will focus on learning about the plants, fungi, and animals inhabiting ecosystems within ~250 kilometers of Olympia. The diversity of organisms in our area is very great, ranging from marine algae and tide pool animals to montane forest birds, lichens and plants. On-campus field days will include exercises to learn about forest and estuarine biodiversity. One-day field trips to observe marine mammals and birds, a multi-day backpacking trip on the Olympic Peninsula, and an overnight trip to the eastern side of the Cascades will further the diversity of our field experiences. Students will detail their work in field notebooks and expand upon their observations in natural history journals. Students will receive instruction in the fundamental skills of camping, hiking and outdoor activities needed to carryout field studies in remote areas with uneven terrain. Program participants will learn classic techniques of specimen collection and modern digital archiving methods. In seminar, we will explore modern and classic readings in natural history.

So what city officials would appoint an employee of SCAG to its planning commission? You may be unpleasantly surprised. ALL FIVE OF THEM DID!!!
This is how massive development moves at lightning speed. This woman works for a private corporation (SCAG) that appears to be in direct conflict with her position on the planning commission.
How could she have been chosen out of 17 applicants and then approved in 5-0 vote? Everyone there knew where she worked, it was discussed she worked for SCAG.
SCAG (Southern CA Assn. of Governments) is the largest regional government in the US covering 6 counties and 191 cities. SCAG has a $540 Billion plan to remake SoCal in the next 2 decades and operates in Near Darkness. Educate yourselves in order to protect your freedoms. PLEASE ADD ALL OF YOUR FRIENDS, EVERYONE NEEDS TO LEARN ABOUT REGIONAL GOVERNMENTS. Stop SCAG is dedicated to educating the public about Unelected, Unconstitutional Regional Governments.
Contact them at firstname.lastname@example.com or at Twitter @STOPSCAG or Facebook https://www.facebook.com/groups/1014680195244878/
Here is the text of a speech given by Grindall from his you tube channel earlier this year, a recent visitor to our council meeting. https://www.youtube.com/user/grindall61
"First and foremost SCAG is a corporation, and because SCAG is a corporation I do not consent to any of your mandates, edicts, or demands. You need to show me the contract I signed as a willing consenting adult before we can even have a conversation.
Secondly, SCAG is not constitutional. Nowhere in the constitution does it talk about JPA's. It's a made up term to steal government away from people at the local level.
There is nothing good about regional government. When you take 191 cities and put them altogether into 1 body which is what SCAG is, you have created a massive government.
There is not one big government in history that has ended well for the people.
This whole SCAG regional transportation process proves why regionalism is terrible for this country.
An associate of mine and I discussed sitting down and reading the thousands of pages that are in the Scag Regional Transportation Plan and the EIR document. Making notes and eventually publishing a report refuting the plan. The whole idea of reading the documents and publishing the report are not even possible given the time constraints. Secondly, even if we were able to get the report complete we would then have to go to 191 elected representatives in 191 different cities and try to convince them to side with us on the vote. 191 people. And we only have a couple months to do all of this.
We advocate for localism and local government. If the same thing were happening in a local city we would only have to convince 3 people to agree with us on the plan. That's 3 vs. 191.
That example that I just read is the very reason why this regionalism has to stop. It completely shuts we the people out of the process.
Now lets get into what this plan is based on. This entire plan is based on sustainability. Now when you ask one of these planners what sustainability is they are likely to say something along the lines of making development that fits the current need while preserving the ability for future generations to meet their own needs…
What the hell that does even mean? Seriously half the time you ask a planner what sustainability is they usually use the word sustainability in their answer which tells me they don't even know
what it means. I have spent 4 years trying to figure out what sustainability actually is and I have the answer.
Sustainability is rationing. It's being forced to use less of everything. Less water, they go that covered. Less energy, they are attempting that with renewables. Renewable energy is a giant crony capitalist scam where the government picks winners and losers and props up failed industry via cap and trade. Less food, that's being worked on by the United Nations
Less mobility, I can't believe you guys think we are so stupid that people are actually going to believe that going from a car to a bus or a bike is somehow getting around quicker. Seriously you people are insane.
Less freedom. Freedom is choice and you are destroying our choices with this plan. Let's talk about those choices
You are acting like you are doing us a favor by providing us with bike lanes, buses and trains that most people want nothing to do with.
However this is a all huge scam. Last year the state attempted to cut our gasoline in half by 50% The bill was called SB350. The bill passed but the gasoline language was taken out of the bill. We have confirmation that the state will be trying to pass that again this year in 2016.
So yes the state of California is trying to get us out of our cars.
We are seeing all this planing right now because you know that the main option that everyone wants to use is going to be eliminated. So stop with this garbage that you are doing us a favor. This is a tyrannical big government that is waging war against us. You're not doing anybody any favors!
Lastly, I want to address this lie about the millennials, how my generation wants to walk and bike everywhere and live in little shoebox apartments.
First off, my generation is glued to their phones so they are completely disengaged. As a result they aren't coming to these meetings and demanding this. I have yet to see it in my time doing this.
Secondly, we are told that the millennials want to spend lots of money to live in small apartments.
How is that going to happen? We were screwed by the older generations when they told us that we must go to college. Not only is a college degree worthless now but it has put all the young people in debt so there isn't going to be spending $400,000 on a so called luxury apartment.
The truth is every single city is increasing the number of housing units and we have a president that has opened up the borders and is bringing in illegal aliens and refugees from the different wars that are going on. Those people need a place to live if they are going to be here."

A great read, guys, thanks. I can see so many parallels to guilds, clans, squadrons, families, crews, legions...etcetcetc in the games I've played over the years. Both those who've failed and those who've succeeded.
I think the greatest thing is how the U isn't just about one game, as so many fantastic groups of gamers fall apart when the game on which they met dies and the clan breaks up to go their separate ways. I've lost too many friends over the years when we've both moved in different directions in our gaming life.
See, now look what you've done, I'm getting all nostalgic.
On this day in Uey History we collectivley work up, took a deep breath, and - in a confused high we screamed at the top of our lungs "Whats going on?"
After many years and many battles both on and off the screen, Dao Jones has finally decided he doesnt want to be this guy:
or this guy
So he asked to be promoted to this guy
So he could hang out with this girl
and these guys
And there was much rejoicing.
What lies next for the future of this band of miscreants who can say
Am I the only one who thinks Dao was pushed? I bet Foulsoul finally found the imfamous "Dao Jones donkey sex tape" and decided the time was right to plunge his dagger into the twatwaffle and steal his purple crown...

I don't really blog any more but you can follow my painting on instagram...
Wrong. Dao ran that tape at every meeting, just to warm us up.
Great read! Having had two guilds fall apart. It is good to know that the U is something more than a guild its a stable family.
Interesting backstory.
I've certainly been in several guilds in various games, but this is far and away a superior experience. The way the community is, outside of the individual games, is awesome. And in-game, i've never run with more friendly, helpful people - in any game.
Neat piece of community history. I can tell you some great communities have been formed out of the drama and rage of others piss-poor management. I can relate to both sides as I single handedly destroyed <A Guild Called Quest> in WoW on Eonar back in '05-'06. Learning from my mistakes I patched things up with the other leaders and guildies whom I considered RL friends and we went on to build a power house of a guild pre-BC. I share that to express gratitude to the former, current and future leadership as I know what it takes to be an effective game/community leader and the maturity it takes to know when to step aside and or share the burden of leadership. Oh and "the process works."
Amazing. Just fucking amazing. So simple, and so brilliant.
Why go on the same rollercoaster ride of transcendent highs and soul rending lows time and time again?
Why not unlearn the paradigm of your gaming family has to be exclusively from your personal current favorite game?
Why not create something that crosses game realm borders and bridges time itself?
Why not ensure its success by assessing the nature of the soul of potential additions?
Bravo and well done. I hope I am able in some way to contribute to and become part of this legacy.
I am already inspired. :-)

Orientation Length
So I have a question for all of you nurses out there: I am a new grad, and I just started a new job. I have currently had only 6 days working with a preceptor. They want me to start on my own tomorrow! Is this normal? How long was everyone elses' orientations??? I do not feel ready to be on my own yet. HELP!Jun 30, '12That seems quite a bit short for new grad orientation. At my hospital, regular floors get 8wks orientation, while the critical floors like the ED get 12wks. 6 days, which I assume is 2wks, seems a bit short, especially for a floor on which patients can exsanguinate so easily.
As I am from a different specialty, I would ask this question in the appropriate specialty forum and see what other postpartum nurses think.
