GLENDALE — This is the seventh of eight consecutive editions in which the News-Press looks back at the area's 2009-10 seasons, school by school, before looking ahead at the year to come.
At least within its recent chronicle, the St. Francis High athletic body has been highlighted most often by the exploits of its soccer and football programs.
That was much the same this past season.
Dietrich Riley grabbed headlines not just locally, but far beyond as he was one of the nation's top football recruits before deciding to take his talents to UCLA.
Riley, Justin Posthuma, Chris Cabrera and a host of talented Golden Knights football players reaffirmed St. Francis' placement atop the Mission League and Western Division with a run to the quarterfinals amid a season filled with nailbiting games.
The soccer team, by its lofty standards, struggled, but did so against a fiercely arduous schedule. Still, Coach Glen Appels' bunch was able to pull off some playoff magic, as is often the case.
Led by Tommy Jordan, the basketball team began to surge ahead, while the baseball and tennis teams took a step backward.
In all, it was a year that saw its share of team triumph, individual accolades and riveting contests, which lie ahead:
•Sept. 11, 2009 — Dietrich Riley, who would go on to become a three-time All-Area Player of the Year, an Under Armour All-American and the 2010 James H. Jenkins News-Press Male Athlete of the Year, has more than 100 yards receiving, more than 100 yards rushing and three total touchdowns in only a first half's worth of work in the football team's season-opening 40-0 win against Arcadia.
•Sept. 18, 2009 — Behind a game-winning 17-yard touchdown run by quarterback Justin Posthuma and a game-clinching interception from Ryan Jenkins, both of them eventual All-Area and All-CIF standouts, the football team holds off Crescenta Valley, 28-21, in the "Battle of Foothill Blvd."
•Oct. 7, 2009 — Riley has three touchdowns and 109 yards rushing in 13 carries as the football team routs El Rancho, 41-0, to begin the season at 5-0.
•Oct. 20, 2009 — Kyle Palazzolo, an eventual All-Area member, paces the Golden Knights with a fourth-place mark in 16:35, as the Golden Knights defeat Notre Dame, but lose to Harvard-Westlake in a tri-meet. It's a sign of things to come, as the Golden Knights had their sights set on reclaiming the second-place spot from Harvard-Westlake.
•Oct. 23, 2009 — With Riley injured, the football team still pulls off a nailbiting comeback as Posthuma hits Travis Talianko on the tail end of a 60-yard drive. Talianko's touchdown grab with seconds left gives the Golden Knights a 27-23 win over Loyola.
•Nov. 4, 2009 — Coach Pat Donovan is hardly pleased as his cross-country squad stumbles to a fifth-place finish in the Mission League finals at Crescenta Valley Park. Still, they're able to get fourth overall for the season and move on to the CIF prelims.
"That's a weight off my shoulders," says Donovan of making the postseason, "but still, it's a bittersweet feeling. I was coming in expecting considerably more.
"It absolutely is disappointing, I can't second that enough."
•Nov. 13, 2009 — After beginning Mission League play with a win over St. Paul and following it up with a heartbreaking loss to Alemany, second place and an automatic playoff bid are on the line as the football team travels to the historically unfriendly confines of Chaminade.
A huge underdog, Chaminade holds a 25-7 halftime lead.
Once more it is a Posthuma-to-Talianko scoring hookup that leads to a comeback win, as the Golden Knights prevail, 32-25.
"We went into the locker room at halftime and we were pretty quiet," Talianko says. "There probably wasn't anybody in there who didn't think we could do what we would do."
•Nov. 14, 2009 — The cross-country team finishes eighth and fails to advance to the CIF finals, but Palazzolo makes the top-six cut for individual advancement, taking fifth in his Division III heat in 15:52.
•Nov. 20, 2009 — The football team wins a wild one, blasting past high-scoring Gahr, 55-34, in the opening round of the CIF Southern Section Western Division playoffs for the program's first playoff win since 2005.
"Our offense is not going to be stopped," says Posthuma, who tallies three rushing touchdowns and three passing touchdowns. "We knew they had a high-powered offense, so we had to match them step for step. We wanted to pound it and we had everything going all game, we can pass and we can run."
•Nov. 21, 2009 — Palazzolo, an individual entrant, takes 31st in the CIF Southern Section Division III finals, finishing his and the Golden Knights' cross-country run.
•Nov. 27, 2009 — In an unbelievably back-and-forth, mind spinning game, the Knights' football team walks away heartbroken as its season ends with a 49-42 double-overtime loss to Palmdale in the Western Division quarterfinals.
Posthuma has five total touchdowns and linebacking standout Chris Cabrera has 20 tackles, but it's not quite enough to derail the Falcons.
The Golden Knights finish the season with a 9-3 mark.
•Jan. 6, 2010 — The soccer team opens up Mission League play with a 2-0 loss to Harvard-Westlake to start the season at a dismal 2-7 after having won the CIF Southern California Division II Regional Championships the season prior.
•Jan. 8 — On the road at Chaminade, the basketball team edges out the Eagles, 57-55, for its first Mission League win, with Tommy Jordan scoring 13 points.
•Jan. 15 — With a 1-0 win over Loyola on the strength of an early Christian Swart goal, the soccer team finishes the week with seven points and gets back into the Mission League mix.
•Feb. 3 — Despite a season-high 28 points from Jordan and 19 from Emerson Castaneda, the basketball team falls against Alemany, 72-70, in a Mission League tilt.
Riley also has nine points and five rebounds on the night, coming not long after he had announced he would attend UCLA and play football there on National Signing Day live on ESPNU.
•Feb. 8 — Crespi defeats the Golden Knights, 1-0, in soccer action, assuring St. Francis of a second straight fourth-place finish in the Mission League.
•Feb. 17 — Sparked by Castaneda's 23 points and Ian Hamilton's 16 rebounds, the basketball team tastes postseason victory for a second straight year, defeating Gabrielino, 76-44, in the first round of the CIF Southern Section Division IV-AA playoffs.
•Feb. 18 — On the road against third-seeded West Torrance in the first round of the CIF Division I playoffs, the soccer team pulls off the upset with a 1-1 (5-4) triumph.
Max Cadena converts a penalty kick with under two minutes to play and Sean Fitzpatrick, after the teams had played to a stalemate in overtime, boots in the winning penalty kick in a shootout.
"We're not daunted by somebody's record, we know if we play well, we have a chance," Appels says.
•Feb. 19 — The basketball season comes to an end in the second round of the playoffs, as the Golden Knights lose, 77-62, against fourth-seeded Bishop Amat.
Jordan and Spencer Nieves each score 15 points in the finale, which concludes the Golden Knights' year with a 12-15 record.
"That's a good team and there's nothing shameful in losing to that team," St. Francis co-Coach Ray O'Brien says. "They've proven all year long they're worthy of the No. 4 seed."
•Feb. 23 — Another overtime thriller doesn't end in the same fashion, as the soccer team rallies from a two-goal deficit only to fall in overtime, 3-2, to Northwood.
"From where we were early in the season, our guys made great strides," says Appels, whose team ended its season at 8-12-2 and got goals from Cadena and Joel Ingram in the playoff loss.
•March 2 — After going winless the previous season, the volleyball team opens with a 25-23, 15-25, 25-23, 22-25, 15-12 win over Temple City on the strength of 53 Matt Grace assists. Michael Bacall and Wesley Coffey had 17 and 15 assists, respectively.
•March 4 — St. Francis' golf team begins its season competing in a nonleague tri-match at La Cañada Country Club against neighbors Flintridge Prep and La Cañada. The Golden Knights are victorious as they shoot a 175 to 193 by La Cañada and 204 by Flintridge Prep.
St. Francis receives an even-par 34 from Sean Brennan, a 36 from Bobby Coffin and a 37 from Richie Maloof.
•March 16 — Ethan Bramschreiber twirls six brilliant innings to lead the baseball team past Alhambra, 9-1, to win the championship game of the Arcadia Elks Tournament.
•March 25 — The track and field team opens up the season at 3-1 with an 89-36 win against Chaminade, with Palazzolo, James Knowles and Walker Fitch all notching double wins. However, it would be the pinnacle of the season for the track team, as it lost its last two meets.
•April 1 — The golf team maintains its upper hand over rival Crescenta Valley, knocking off the Falcons, 197-221, in a nonleague match at Brookside Park Golf Course No. 1 in Pasadena.
Maloof earns low-medalist honors by shooting a one-under-par 35.
The tennis team drops an 11-7 decision to Flintridge Prep and finds the loss a bit of a foreshadowing, as the Golden Knights are unable to return to the postseason, going 4-10 overall and 3-7 in league for fourth place in the six-team Mission League.
•April 16 — With the tying and winning runs on base, Mark Saatzer sends a shot into the right-center field gap in the bottom of the seventh inning, only to be robbed for the third and final out in Chaminade's 6-5 Mission League win over the baseball team.
"We battled again," St. Francis Coach Brian Esquival says. "That's all you can ask for.
"We did the things to put us in position to tie or even win the game. We had a couple of bounces go against us. I thought the ball Mark hit would fall in and [the center fielder] got a good jump on the ball to make the catch. That's a tough play to make and he made a great catch."
The game is especially symbolic of the season for the Golden Knights, who lose nine games by one run.
•April 20 — The Golden Knights rally for a long-overdue Mission League volleyball win, besting Chaminade, 22-25, 20-25, 25-21, 25-20, 20-18, as Michael Bacall has 20 kills, five blocks and three aces. Wesley Coffey adds 17 kills and five aces, while Matt Grace had 51 assists.
•May 1 — The volleyball squad rebounds from a subpar first day to capture the Silver Division championship on the final day of the Crescenta Valley Varsity Tournament. The team would end the season with a 7-12 mark, a huge improvement from a season prior.
•May 3 — The doubles pairings of John Kazanjian and Chris Norhadian and Daniel Setiady and Greg Pak notch first-round victories in the Mission League prelims, but fall in the second round, putting an end to the tennis season.
•May 6 — None of the Golden Knights golfers extend their seasons at the Mission League finals at Mountain Meadows Golf Course in Pomona. Maloof, an All-Area golf and football selection, notches a 10-over-par 82 after shooting a 76 in the first round for a two-round score of 158. Coffin posts an 80 for a total of 161. Drake Muir shoots an 83 (163), while Chris Petito shot a two-day 165. As a team, St. Francis takes fifth with an 11-6 overall mark and a 6-6 league slate.
At the Mission League track and field finals, James Knowles takes second in the 110 high hurdles in 15.16, while Walker Fitch notched a mark of 20-1 in the long jump for third.
•May 13 — The baseball team defeats Notre Dame, 12-5, to finish its season on a winning note and with a 13-14 overall mark. David Olmedo-Barrera and Bramschreiber, both of them All-Area selections, lead the way as the former has a three-run triple and the latter pitches six innings for the win.

Ashley Greer — Babe of the Day
We're big fans of redheads. And why do we love the gingers? Let us explain…
It's estimated that between one and two percent of the world's population has red hair. Factoring out male gingers, that means there's only 34,202,535 female red heads in the world. Many of which could be taken, too young or too old (we're too lazy to do the math on that one.) Which means finding a hot redhead is close to impossible! Not to mention there's that silly rumor that redheads could be extinct by 2020.
This is why we love redheads and why we love our 'Babe of the Day' Ashley Greer.

Shenzhen is the closest thing to a snapshot of of modern China, and to visit is to see history in the making. A tier one city erected in 30 years on top a historical industrial township, Shenzhen retains its lost-in-time urban villages - now flanked by futuristic skyscrapers. Shenzhen is home to China tech giants Huawei, Tencent, Lenovo, and more - the Googles and Apples of China. Its business, architecture and technology are booming - but none more than its population, comprised 80% of foreign and Chinese immigrants. All come with their own unique cultures making Shenzhen China's melting pot.
The daily transformation, the historic villages nestled between new skyscrapers, the melding of cultures, and the breakneck pace of growth represents the very core of modern China. Come to see the Asian frontier, and leave your Lonely Planet guide at home - it'll be obsolete by the time you arrive!

Indeed. Technology to avoid these kinds of problems are pretty common on large clusters, things like: * precisely synchronized clocks (so everyone takes the overhead at the same time). (Psicortex, Octigabay/Cray, IBM Bluegene and a few others mentioned it I believe). * Greatly simplied microkernels, even virtual memory can be skipped, ibm blue gene and several crays do not run a full (or even partial) linux kernel on compute nodes. * Large page tables (fewer tlb events to though off the timing) * bproc/scyld with a minimum number of processes (kernel + 1?)running there's less to interfere with application performance. Basically when running lockstep on small jobs the worst case jitter of 32 or 64 CPUs may be a very small value, I've heard 0.5-5%. As jobs hit 1000s of CPUs the odds get much worse. Without some of the above to mitigate the problem a reasonable fraction of your compute power can go to waiting on the slowest of the 1000 to handle a interrupts, schedule a different process, tweak the TLB, or handle an interrupt. Rocks is the exact opposite for better or worse, quite a few processes run on compute nodes by default, 8 apaches, 5 gettys, 5 hald related processes, 4-5 SGEs (one that uses approximately 8 minutes of cpu per day), ganglia (68 seconds per day), and a ps list of processes somewhere in the neighborhood of 130 processes. So if you aren't careful you don't pay just one nodes overhead on a job, but all of them. So the worst case with 1000 nodes would be 9 minutes * 1000 = 150 hours per day. Without careful coordination to make sure that the overhead happens at all nodes at the same time you could get into the situation were at least one node of 1000 is always doing something else. Even that assumes that things like ganglia's greceptor and sge's sge_execd don't use more CPU per node on larger clusters. In my tests I see pretty good scaling up to 64 nodes for the workloads we run, but I'd certainly look closer if we started running substantially larger jobs. I suspect that Cray, IBM, and related folks have spent the blood sweat and tears on the compute nodes for very good reasons. I've seen related papers at various SCs as well as the Ottawa Linux Symposium, but do not have any references handy.


text: I am resending this message as it failed to show up on the linux-dvb list after 12 hours. The fix is probably the same as I used on lgdt330x. There is an optimization that keeps track of the frequency tuned by the digital decoder. The digital driver does not set the frequency if it has not changed since it was tuned. The analog tuner driver knows nothing about the frequency saved by the digital driver. When the frequency is set using the video4linux code with tvtime, the hardware get changed but the digital driver's state does not get updated. Switch back to the same digital channel and the driver finds no change in frequency so the tuner is not reset to the digital frequency. The work around is to remove the check and always set the tuner to the specified frequency. Attached is an untested patch: Signed-off-by Mac Michaels <wmichaels1 at earthlink.net> <SOAPBOX> This is an issue that I have raised previously. I think that the tuner driver should be shared between video4linux and dvb for cards of this type. The optimization of tuning will then work properly. I already have this working for the lgdt330x but some folks consider it bad style. </SOAPBOX> -- Mac On Sunday 21 August 2005 10:09 am, Michael Krufky wrote: > Ilia Mirkin wrote: > > I have a pcHDTV 3000 card, and it works fine with the > > cx88-dvb and cx8800 drivers; I can receive both digital > > and analog content.

The point of Hassan Rouhani's presidency is not to persuade people that Iran can be dissuaded, through the easing or lifting of sanctions, from continuing its quest for nuclear weapons. No one, not even President Obama, seriously believes in that scenario.
In my view, the point of Rouhani is to persuade people that Iran is now "normal" enough that we shouldn't fear it having nukes.
It's not clear that Obama ever needed to be persuaded. He may be sufficiently callow to find it almost inconceivable that a nation state will ever again use nuclear weapons. And part of him probably subscribes to the view of many leftists that Iran is as entitled to possess nuclear weapons as Israel, and maybe even as entitled to them as the U.S.
But Obama is constrained when it comes to Iran. Above all, he needed to persuade the Israelis that he's concerned over the prospect of a nuclear Iran. Otherwise, the Israelis might attack Iran. This constraint helped produce a sanctions regime that further constrains Obama because he lacks the power unilaterally to dismantle it.
The point of Rouhani is to change this dynamic. Obama will be less constrained if other key players come to believe that a nuclear Iran is not unacceptable. And some key players may come around to this view if they conclude that Iran has "outgrown" Ahmadinejad.
The key player is Israel. Israelis probably see a real difference between Rouhani and Ahmadinejad, but they also understand that Rouhani isn't really in charge. And Israelis are unwilling, understandably, to tolerate any real risk that Iran might use its nukes.
But Rouhani increases Obama's leverage with Israel. By contrasting Rouhani's "pragmatism" with the crude dogmatism of his predecessor, Obama can make it difficult for Israel to balk at renewed negotiations, much less to attack Iran. Meanwhile, Iran can run out the clock.
Wishful thinking is powerful enough to influence even the Israelis. Nor is it entirely wishful to think that Rouhani's presidency means Iran has become more pragmatic than it was under Ahmadinejad, and thus less likely to use nuclear weapons.
The risk to Israel remains unacceptable, though. "President change" isn't good enough. Only regime change will suffice.
That's why sanctions are so important. Rouhani is a roll of the dice by a regime that is losing strength due to economic impact of sanctions. He may be their last roll of the dice.
Accordingly, in the event of negotiations the U.S. approach should mirror that of our adversary. Iran will pretend to be serious about not developing nukes; we can pretend to be serious about lifting sanctions.
If, while Iran pretends, the U.S. is serious, the Israelis, one hopes, will act accordingly.

Joint Release
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation
Office of the Comptroller of the Currency
October 30, 2013
OCC and FDIC Propose Rule to Strengthen Liquidity Risk Management
The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) proposed a rule on Wednesday to strengthen the liquidity risk management of large banks and savings associations.
Liquidity generally is a measure of how much cash or cash-equivalents and highly marketable assets a company has on hand to meet its obligations. Under the proposed rule, covered institutions would be required to maintain a standard level of high-quality liquid assets such as central bank reserves, government and Government Sponsored Enterprise securities, and corporate debt securities that can be converted easily and quickly into cash. Under the proposal, a covered institution would be required to hold such high-quality liquid assets on each business day in an amount equal to or greater than its projected cash outflows less its projected cash inflows over a 30-day period. The ratio of the firm's high-quality liquid assets to its projected net cash outflow is specified as a "liquidity coverage ratio," or LCR, by the proposal.
"We learned during the financial crisis just how important liquidity is to the stability of the system as a whole, as well as for individual banks," said Comptroller of the Currency Thomas J. Curry. "A number of large institutions, including some with sufficient levels of capital, encountered difficulties because they did not have adequate liquidity, and the resulting stress on the international banking system resulted in extraordinary government actions both globally and at home. The proposed liquidity rule will help ensure that a bank's cash, and not taxpayer money, is the first line of defense if it faces a short-term funding stress."
"The recent financial crisis demonstrated that liquidity risk can have significant consequences to large banking organizations with effects that spill over into the financial system as a whole and the broader economy. The proposed rule acted on today would establish first quantitative liquidity requirement applied by federal banking agencies and is an important step in helping to bolster the resilience of large internationally active banking organizations during periods of financial stress," said FDIC Chairman Martin J. Gruenberg.
The liquidity proposal is based on a standard agreed to by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision. The proposed rule is generally consistent with the Basel Committee's LCR standard, but is more stringent in some respects such as the range of assets that will qualify as high-quality liquid assets and the assumed rate of outflows of certain types of funding. In addition, the proposed rule's transition period is shorter than that included in the Basel framework. The accelerated transition period reflects a desire to maintain the improved liquidity positions that U.S. institutions have established since the financial crisis. Under the proposal, U.S. firms would begin the LCR transition period on January 1, 2015, and would be required to be fully compliant by January 1, 2017.

Welcome To Pandora's Project-----
Pandora's Project is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to providing information, support, and resources to survivors of rape and sexual abuse and their friends and family. We have been devoted to recovery and healing since 1999.
Pandora's Project offers peer support to anyone who has been a victim of rape, sexual assault, or sexual abuse through our online support group, Pandora's Aquarium. We believe that connecting with other rape and sexual abuse survivors is an important part of healing. Our online support group includes a message board, chat room, and blogs. It is free to join and is safely moderated by a diverse group of survivors.
If you are in crisis or need professional support now, check out these resources to find the help you deserve: Crisis Support & Hotlines
Pandora's Project is staffed entirely by volunteers. To make a tax-deductible donation to support our work, please visit our donations page.
What We Offer
Pandora's Project offers a message board and chat room, free lending library, and numerous articles and resources. We welcome all survivors of sexual violence. If you've been a victim of stranger rape, acquaintance or date rape,
molestation, incest, childhood sexual abuse, partner or marital rape, gang rape, or any other type of sexual assault,
you are welcome here as
you recover and reclaim your life.
Healing knows no timeline. If you were just raped or were sexually abused when you were a child, if this is your first step in recovery or you've already been through counseling and want to connect with other survivors, Pandora's Project is here to support you. The rape and sexual abuse online support group has specific forums for men and women, teens and older survivors, LGBTQ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and questioning) rape and sexual abuse survivors, and friends and family of survivors.
You will also find support for issues common in healing after rape, sexual assault, & sexual abuse: flashbacks, depression, and PTSD;
self-injury and self-harm; eating disorders; relationships, sex & intimacy; spirituality; pregnancy & parenting; & legal concerns.
Please know that you are not alone. As a rape or sexual abuse survivor, you may feel isolated, like no one understands. Please don't be afraid to explore this site and register on the discussion forums to see what we can offer you. It can be very difficult to reach out; consider reading the testimonials from other rape and sexual abuse survivors to read about the friendship, advice, and help our online support group, message board and chat room can provide.

Bad Touch
Bad Touch is a photo copied zine out of Kent, Ohio of mostly musical criticism and bawdy, low-brow humor. The zine started in Akron, Ohio in the winter of 2004 (issue one was released the day after Christmas) and has been published erratically (the time between issues has ranged from two weeks to six months) ever since. The last issue to be released was the tenth. Bad Touch has included comics, record reviews, fiction, homoerotic fanfiction, local gossip, and more, though the average issue contains comics, a short peice of fiction, and an article on a local band that is almost always negative and scathing in tone. The music articles often elicit a negtive reaction and the issue three article on Cleveland rock band Amps II Eleven prompted the band's bassist, Tony Erba, to send Bad Touch creator Elias Newton a series of death threats, though no physical action materialized from the threats. The most notable feature of the publication is its consistent offensiveness, often dedicating entire pages to "cum jokes" and Newton was once heard to remark "There's a reason it ain't called 'Good Touch.'"

Canaries Take Lopsided Loss Against Trois-Rivieres
SIOUX FALLS, SD -- Sioux Falls Canaries starting pitcher Ben Moore suffered one of his toughest starts in recent memory, and the Canaries took an 11-4 defeat at the hands of the Trois-Rivieres Aigles on Wednesday night.
In front of 4,518 fans at Sioux Falls Stadium, Moore (7-5) fell behind quickly in the top of the first inning when Steve Brown led off with a double and scored three batters later on Cam Kneeland's single. Jeremy Nowak later doubled in two runs. A solo home run came in the second, and the Aigles piled on six runs in the third inning, including a two-run double by Richard Arias and a two-run home run from David Cooper.
The veteran right-hander exited after just 2 2/3 innings, allowing 10 runs, eight earned, on 10 hits. He struck out three men.
Meanwhile, Aigles starter Alexander Burkard (7-3) held the Canaries (30-40) scoreless through the first six innings. The Birds finally got on the board in the seventh with Stephen King's RBI single. Jake Taylor capped a 3-for-4 night with a run-scoring base hit in the eighth, and Anthony Trajano and Cory Morales each had an RBI in the ninth.
Burkard yielded two runs in eight innings overall on eight hits. He walked one and struck out five as the Aigles (30-38) evened the three-game series at one game apiece.
Five Canaries relievers combined to allow only one unearned run across the final 6 1/3 innings. Canaries pitchers combined to strike out 12 batters.
The rubber game of the three-game series against Trois-Rivieres is at 7:05 p.m. on Thursday at Sioux Falls Stadium.

A Moveable Feast: SendGrid Delivered InternationalCarly Brantz
As part of our initiative to bring "SendGrid Everywhere," we recently traveled across the pond on the first ever international leg of our SendGrid Delivered Tour. SendGrid Delivered is our tour about all things email—from deliverability, to ISP trends, to APIs—we cover it all. Over the past year, we've been lucky enough to take our tour through some major start-up hubs across the US including, NYC, San Francisco, Denver, Boston, Austin, and Seattle.
After a successful initial run stateside, we thought we'd pack our bags and make a visit to our email hungry friends in Europe. Our stops? London, Berlin, and Paris. This was a particularly special trip for me since I had never visited any of these cities before. I couldn't imagine a better way to connect with our customers and prospects than in their hometowns with this tour.
I was joined by a handful of my fellow SendGridders who were all ready to help spread the good word about email best practices. They were:
- Denise Hulce: VP of Sales and Business Development
- Ken Apple: Director of Technical Support
- Amy Mustoe: Director of Account Management
- Brian O'Neill: Product Manager
- Andrei Stangacianu, Support Manager, Romania
- Jill Petre: SendGrid Delivered Organizer
- Tina Ehlinger: International Sales Development Rep
- Laurence Trifon: Director of Business Development
- Robert Phillips: VP of Marketing
- Martyn Davies: Developer Evangelist
We were especially excited to have our London-based Developer Evangelist, Martyn with us for the entire European tour. He really showed us the ropes and it was wonderful to see him in his element. Martyn is a frequent conference panelist and speaker and is also the central coordinator for Music Hack Day as well as the organizer for the London and Cannes Music Hack Days, so it was great to have him impart his wisdom during our API and technical discussions.
Like our stateside tour, our tour agenda was tailored to both marketers and developers. Our Developer Track included an API workshop and a technical breakdown of SendGrid, hosted by Martyn. The non-technical track covered how to manage your SendGrid account and Brian and I covered tips on how to incorporate marketing messaging into your transactional email. (For more tips on how to leverage both types of email, check out a webinar that Brian and I presented on the topic called Shades of Gray—Incorporating Marketing Into Transactional Email.)
Both groups participated in larger discussions about the state of email today (with a focus on European email trends) and how to navigate the ever-changing ISP landscape. We also walked through the ins and outs of our email service and Ken and Andrei discussed SendGrid's "follow the sun" support method that ensures that regardless of the time of day (or time zone!) alert and knowledgeable experts are always available to help our customers.
The first stop of our tour was London. There was so much to see! Fortunately, we were able to cover some serious ground by taking a double decker bus tour that took us to see the London Eye, the Tower of London, and Buckingham Palace. We hosted our first event at Microsoft's Modern Jago pop-up event space. We were thrilled that we could experience the space before it ended its 7-month stint earlier this month and are really appreciative to our partner, Microsoft for offering us such an awesome space.
After London, we traveled to Berlin where we took the city by storm on a personal segway tour (yes, we were "those people" on segways with helmets!) and a stop at one of the city's best-known beer gardens. After that we were excited for our event at co-working space, Ahoy Berlin. This space was definitely one of the most unique that we've presented at thus far. The nautical theme was really inspired and set a refreshing backdrop for the presentations that day.
We were honored to have one of our customers, Booking.com—the world leader in booking accommodations online—join us a presenter. (Maybe you've seen their hysterical Super Bowl commercial?) Thomas Howard and Fabrizio Salzano from Booking.com walked us through their service and how they use email. They were a wonderful addition to our tour and helped us say "Auf Wiedersehen!" to Berlin.
For our last stop we said "Bonjour!" to the City of Light, Paris. What a truly charming city to end our trip. Again, our partner Microsoft was a big help—their colorful Microsoft Technology Center provided the perfect setting for our final event. We were also fortunate to have our good friend Rob Spectre from Twilio join Martyn for our API discussion. Très magnifique! We bid our final "adieu" to SendGrid Delivered International and to Paris with a picnic dinner outside of the Eiffel Tower watching it light up and sparkle. What a magical end to an incredible trip!
We are all so grateful to SendGrid for allowing us to absorb the sights and sounds of these three incredible cities. It was wonderful to visit with our European customers and to learn more about what their email needs are. It was a great bonding experience for all of us and I, in particular, can't wait to go back to all of these cities now that I've gotten a taste!
We're taking everything we learned from this trip and incorporating it into our new SendGrid Delivered tour dates in the US starting this fall. Stay tuned to the blog for an announcement about our cities and dates! And if you'd like us to make a stop in your city, leave us a comment below to let us know where! Hope to see you soon in a city near you.

While Facebook is wrapping up a tough week with a nearly 6% drop in its stock price since Oct. 5, the social networking company won some points in fresh surveys of folks that matter to Wall Street — namely teens and 20-somethings.
A survey of a large pool of 7,700 teens in the U.S. ranked Facebook as their most important social networking hangout, followed by Twitter and photo-sharing service Instagram, according to Piper Jaffray analyst Gene Munster. Facebook also owns Instagram, which is another plus for the company.
Munster reiterated his overweight rating on Facebook and concluded it remains "well positioned to maintain its spot as the top social network despite competition from Twitter."
On the down side, Piper's teen survey showed that mobile gaming "is as unpopular among teens as we have ever seen," leading analyst to cut their ratings for Facebook partner Zynga Inc. to neutral earlier this week.
Joining the market research party on Facebook, Sterne Agee said a survey of more than 750 Facebook users revealed that average 18-29-year-old users are spending about the same time today on Facebook as they did six months ago, despite an increase in the number of ads seen over the same period.
But Sterne Agee analyst Arvind Bhatia pointed out that only 33% of Facebook's mobile users said they're extremely satisfied with the service.
"Given how critical mobile is to Facebook's future, we believe the percentage of 'extremely satisfied' needs to improve," Bhatia said, before concluding that the "long-term opportunity is large" for the company.
Although too many folks 29 and younger remain challenged on the income front, Facebook apparently still manages to catch their multi-tasking attention — even more so than Twitter.
The company's ability to reach a younger audience prized by marketers helps its growth prospects for advertising, revenue and profits.

Sockeye salmon is plentiful and on sale at my local grocery store, so we've been eating that in various preparations. Our garden has also been providing us with lots of herbs, peas, lettuce, carrots, beets, and just today green beans, so we've been eating lots of fresh stuff. I LOVE trying new recipes and the ones from the book that you mentioned sound great!

I really like cooking with herbs, spices to bring out flavor, rather than piling on heavy sauces, my favorite is cooking with fish and chicken, an abundance of fresh veggies, and sometimes, a hint of coconut milk.

Thanks for hosting this giveaway! My favorite healthy dishes to create are salads and sauteed veggies! I love to gather things from my own backyard garden to throw into all sorts of flavorful and colorful combinations. And sometimes just a little bit of olive oil, salt, and pepper can do wonders for some vegetables. Fresh whole foods are the best!

I've been starting to think that this "college guy" diet could use a little bit of a health-oriented remix. This book just might be able to help me with that. It all sounds delicious (just like your blog)

Yum! This is the first year we've participated in a local CSA, and we're loving the overflowing fresh vegetables. Some of my favorite new healthy recipes include a potato and summer squash salad dressed in a marjoram lemon vinaigrette, and a perfectly lovely caprese salad made with fresh tomatoes, basil and locally made fresh mozzarella.
- July 22, 2011 at 12:23 PM
I make pesto when the basil gets out of control and we end up using it on everything!

I've really become a fan of vegetarian sides that can also do double-duty as stand-alone lunch dishes. I've recently posted about grilled summer vegetables and whole wheat orzo, and also have a yummy southwest couscous that is packed with healthy flavors as well. I am always interested in learning new ways to eat well from both a healthy AND tasty standpoint!

Salads are my mainstay for healthy meals. All manner of raw veggies go into them. Another favorite is panzanella when tomatoes are at their peak.

This book looks amazing! I've been really into stir frying veggies (carrots, broccoli, mushrooms, snow peas) with a bit of brown rice and soy sauce.
My secret is the McCormick Grill Mates Smokehouse Maple seasoning. It's meant for grilling meat, but I love the flavor it gives to my veggies!

I am trying so hard to eat healthy and drop weight. Tonight I made a salad of bulgur, poached chicken, garbanzo beans, tomatoes and cucumber.

During the final weeks of 2012, a good chunk of my posts in this space took a negative view of economic landscape for 2013. And while it's good to be cautious in the business world, constantly focusing on the negative can often create a "self-fulfilling prophecy" of sorts.
Thus it's a refreshing change of pace to peruse findings from the latest Global Family Business Survey conducted by consulting firm PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC), which discerned that U.S. family businesses are more confident about their growth prospects for the New Year than their global peers (93% versus 81%) and are taking steps to try and capitalize on "market opportunities," all despite recognizing that tough times still lay ahead.
For example, while PwC's poll found that economic challenges top the list of near-term concerns for U.S. family businesses – some 68 % cited "market conditions" as their main worry over the next 12 months – such concerns have waned since the prior survey two years ago (at that time, 88% flagged market conditions) suggesting that family businesses have adapted to the new normal of market volatility and economic uncertainty.
One reason for an increase in the "comfort factor," if you will, among family businesses is that they continue to take a more conservative approach to strategic planning, with most (82%) expecting to grow steadily over the next five years, while only 11% of businesses expect to grow quickly and aggressively.
That being said, PwC said family-owned companies are nonetheless showing a greater appetite for actively investing in growth initiatives compared with two years ago, focusing on areas such as innovation and international expansion.
This is good stuff for trucking because many carriers – large and small alike – are family businesses at heart.
"We've noticed an attitudinal shift among many U.S. family businesses in the past two years," noted Alfred Peguero, PwC's U.S. Family Offices Services leader. "They've gone from warily eyeing their next big bet to actively seeking business growth opportunities."
Yet, again, that doesn't mean they're throwing caution to the winds – far from it. For while many U.S. family businesses expect steady growth in the years ahead, they also expect external and internal headwinds to remain strong. Chief among them are tough competition, cited by 61% of respondents, and the ongoing challenge of finding workers with the right skills and talents (52%).
"U.S. family businesses are still navigating a slow-growth economic environment and increasingly competitive marketplace," stressed Peguero. "The talent shortage in particular has been a persistent challenge for companies, as we've seen in the past three consecutive surveys. This is where family businesses can step up and become part of the solution. Through on-the-job training and partnering with local schools, they have an opportunity to play a vital role in creating jobs and growing the economy."
The key takeaway from all this, I think, is that despite the tough economic going, U.S. family business enterprises – some of the most conservative on the block – believe they can not only make do but grow, even if only modestly, in the current environment. As the old saying goes, when you've got nothing but lemons, make lemonade.
And it sure seems a lot of lemonade-making is starting to take place.

OGDEN — Most state basketball tournaments include clutch performances — big shots that will be remembered for years to come, but few shots likely will be as memorable as Jalen Moore's in Sky View's 63-60 overtime semifinal win over Bountiful.
At the final buzzer, Moore lofted up a shot from half court that found the bottom of the net, sent the home crowd into a frenzy and, most importantly, sent Sky View to the 4A state championship.
"I can't even describe what this feels like right now," Moore said. "To hit a shot like that — it's just amazing and I'm just so happy for my teammates who worked so hard and for all of our fans. Our fans are amazing and they earned it — we all earned this."
The shot was a culmination of a 9-2 run Sky View put together within the final 22 seconds of overtime. Bountiful took a 58-54 lead on a 3-point play from Sam Merrill at the 45.5 second mark and seemed poised to cruise to victory before Sky View got going.
Braxton Godderidge, who hadn't hit a shot all night, was fouled on an attempted 3-pointer with 22.8 seconds left on the clock. It was a moment of redemption for the junior guard who earlier in the season failed to convert in a similar situation.
The junior calmly sunk all three of his attempts to bring Sky View within one at 58-57.
"I did it for the seniors, and I was not going to let my teammates down again," Godderidge said. "I wasn't nervous at all because I knew I was determined not to let my team down."
"Braxton loves the competition, and he's the sort of kid who wants the last shot no matter how off he's been for the whole night," said Sky View coach Kirk Hillyard. "I'm happy for him because he works so hard, and if anyone deserves a big moment like that, it's him."
Merrill put Bountiful up three on two free throws on the next possession with Sky View getting the ball back with just over 20 seconds remaining. The Bobcats worked the perimeter until finding an open Moore in the corner, who swished through the attempt to tie the game at 60 with 9.7 seconds left.
Moore had been struggling with his shot all night up to that point due to a tenacious defensive effort from the Braves
"I knew they were going to come out and guard me (tough), but I just went with the flow and let the game come to me," Moore said. "Eventually at the end it was just my time. I tried to get to open spaces and fortunately things worked out."
The ball got away from Merrill on the next possession and Bryan Dority pounced on it to set up Moore's epic moment with 2.9 seconds left.
Moore took the inbounds pass, was confronted by two Skyview defenders at half court and had to fad away toward the sidelines to release it.
"I had to fade away so they didn't have a chance to contest the shot," Moore said. "I just threw it up there and it just went in — it was luck. It was an incredible moment, and I'm just happy for my team and the chance we now have to win it all. It's a moment I obviously won't forget."
Moore finished the night with 18 points, nine rebounds and a game-high six assists. Matt Dewey matched Moore's total while doing most of the offensive work early.
"I'm happy for Matt," Hillyard said. "Matt's a great kid and he was amazing — he did some really good things for us tonight."
Bountiful was led by Merrill who finished with a game-high 35 points.
"Sam (Merrill) is an incredible player and he did everything he could for his team," Moore said. "He kept coming at us, but fortunately we got them in the end."
With the win, Sky View advances to the 4A championship and will take on cross-town rival Mountain Crest.
"We want a piece of Mountain Crest," Moore said. "They've been beating us since we were little kids, and we're going to try and get after them, they're going to try and get after us, and I think it's going to be a Sky View (vs.) Mountain Crest game and it's going to be physical."

Robin Gibb Comes Out Of Coma
With all the bad news this week surrounding the deaths of Dick Clark and Levon Helm, we may have some good news. According to reports coming out of England, Robin Gibb of the Bee Gees, whose health had taken a turn for the worse in recent weeks, has come out of the coma he lapsed into last week.
"He's moving his head and nodding," Gibb's wife Dwina said. "When we're asking questions he's responding to them. I can't believe it"
Gibb was hospitalized last month due to correct a lifelong intestinal issue. Following the surgery, he contracted pneumonia and subsequently fell into a coma. Since then, his family, including his brother Barry, have held a vigil at his bedside.
"We've been playing music to him all along," Dwina continued. "I thought he'd respond to it and, when they hooked him up to an ECG scanner, it showed he was. We're very pleased. We think he might even talk once the tubes come out."
The music Robin has responded to includes Barry's singing and recorded music. Dwina said that Roy Orbison's classic 'Crying,' fittingly, caused Gibb to weep.
Of course this does not mean that Gibb is out of the woods just yet. There is still a long road to recovery, and in his situation things could change at any moment. However, the fact that he has regained consciousness is a very good sign right now.


text: Royal Enfield Classic Chrome review Yep, there's a new edition of the Royal Enfield Classic. Actually, there are two - the 'Desert Storm' and the 'Chrome'. You might think they are just a couple of fancy paint jobs, which they are, but they have a couple of mechanical tweaks as well. For starters Enfield has gone back to a 19-inch front tyre and an altered front fork for better stability and a more upright handlebar for a more relaxed riding position.Once you are on the bike you can feel the difference, especially if you ride it back to back with an older Classic. It certainly feels better sorted out and straight line stability is marginally better, but that is only till a certain speed. You could ride the Chrome just short of triple digit speeds all day and it feels good and relaxed and with the re-mapped ECU it seems to respond better to throttle inputs as well. However, get past triple digits and the handlebar wobble returns to rob you of your confidence.Around corners the Chrome is better sorted out, although the fatter rear tyre and bigger front tyre doesn't make it as chuckable as the older Classic. The chassis feels stiffer and the bike handles mid-corner bumps better, but it's difficult to gauge the extent of improvement with the sprung riding seat. Incidentally, the seat has been redesigned as well and is easier on the cheeks now. Brakes remain the same on the tweaked edition, which are just about enough for the massive 180 kilo motorcycle.On the whole, the Classic was already a fairly expensive bike and with the new colour schemes, the sticker price has just gone up by another 3k for the 'Desert Storm' and 7k for the 'Chrome'. While the 'Desert Storm' looks fantastic and pleases TG sensibilities, the 'Chrome' looks like a bit of an overkill and pushes the affordability envelope. The mechanical tweaks, however, will be available on all new Classic 500s which is good news. Abhinav Mishra 05 January 2012 Royal Enfield Classic Chrome review

The weather is warming up as spring arrives. With the nicer weather comes a natural inclination to spend more time outdoors for both work and enjoyment. In order to get the most out of your outdoor experiencing, ensuring that your garage door is functioning properly is a high priority. Unless you use your garage to park your vehicle everyday it is unlikely that you have given your garage door much work over the winter months. At the start of spring you will want to not only ensure that your garage is in the most organized state, but also the highest functioning.
One of the most common areas of a garage door system which can require repair is the garage door springs. Garage door springs hold a great deal of tension due to the stress that they are under when functioning. This can lead to damage of malfunction of the spring that can leave your garage door disabled. At the start of spring it is wise to test the function of your garage door to ensure that weather and inactivity have not taken a toll on your garage door springs. If you have a garage door spring that needs to be replaced, you may feel inclinced to attempt a repair yourself. It is highly advisable to avoid this situation. Garage door springs play a vital role in the function of your door, however they are still relatively inexpensive to have replaced when compared to the panels of your garage door. If you complete spring replacement by yourself, you could be setting yourself up for a hefty repair bill in the future if this spring replacement is not completed properly. By choosing a professional garage door company to replace your springs you are not only more likely to have a successful replacement service, but you will also have a warranty in case any damage does occur down the line.
Garage door springs are not the only part of your garage door system which can be in need of repairs during the spring. You can turn to a professional garage door repairman to provide you with the replacement of your existing panels. Panels can become discolored, or damaged, for a number of reasons. Whether it is an emergency replacement, or once which has been caused over the long term, turning to a professional can help you find a panel that will fit your exact needs. Additionally, automatic openers and rollers can also become damaged. Fortunately for garage door owners, rollers are the least expensive part to have replaced. Automatic opener repair can be the most frustrating to repaired becayuse while it is disabled you can be locked out of, or in, your garage. Speak with your local profesisonal in order to have the malfunction of your garage door diagnosed.
With the warm weather fast approaching, it is time to ensure that you will be ready for long summer weekends outside. Part of thise is making sure that your garage door is going to function throughout the summer months. It is highly recommended to find a garage door professional that you trust to complete repair and replacement service for you. By comparing companies you will be able to find the professional who most fits your needs, while also ensuring that you will have an individual to turn to should anything go wrong.read more »

Mitchell aims to be among the golf elite
summit daily news
When Dylan Mitchell thinks of his summer before starting his senior year of high school, he thinks of golf.
National golf.
He played in Colorado Junior Golf Association events that took him around Colorado and beyond, playing mostly against high-caliber junior golfers. In July, he even stepped it up a notch to play against more adults seeking qualifying rounds for the Colorado Open.
One of his highest-profile events was at the Junior World Championships at Torrey Pines near San Diego. He shot a 74 and 70 over two days at Pelican Lakes in Windsor to finish second overall. He and the first-place winner qualified for the SoCal tournament.
"It was cool to be there, but it was the hardest course I've ever played," said Mitchell, who missed the cut and didn't finish.
After Torrey Pines, Mitchell headed to Las Vegas to seek a qualifying score for the U.S. Amateur. He shot a 73-73 and missed the cut by seven or eight strokes. That was against anyone with a handicap of under two strokes.
He mixed in several smaller events along with the American Junior Golf Association's events at Robinson Ranch in California as well as a tournament in Oregon, where he was tied for eighth after the first day and finished 26th overall with a 70-80-71 score.
"It was my best in a three-day event," he said.
The summer of 2012 was Mitchell's first national summer. He's previously played in regional and state events, and coach Gary Sorensen pointed out that Mitchell seeks to extend his regular season at Summit High School by joining Lakewood Golf Club, where the Front Range presents more time to play.
"It's been really kinda crazy, but it's been fun. I've learned a lot of things about time management and when I needed to call it quits on tournaments and get more practice in," Mitchell said, explaining that if he did it over, he would have cut out a few tournaments, spacing them out with more practice.
At the same time, he wouldn't trade the experience for the world.
"It seemed like it helped because I got more tournament experience," he said, adding, "But close to the end of the season, I lost a lot of stamina. I wasn't 100 percent there, mentally focused all the time."
Typically, Mitchell will take a step back from his disappointments to assess what happened. The following day, he'll practice. Unless the poor showing was a fluke, in which case he'll just rest.
"At some point, it's good to have failure so you do go out and practice really hard. It's good to have reality checks," he said.
But what Mitchell wants is more consistency in his golf game, particularly as he approaches the high school regional tournament on today, which would be where his presence at the state tournament is decided.
"I've always had good rounds and then a weird round will come out and I'll shoot in the high 70s," said Mitchell, who wants to be in the low 70s every round at least. If a bad round can always be a 75 instead of a 78-80, he would be pleased, he said.
Mitchell ultimately wants to place first in the state. It's a goal from his freshman year of high school.
"I feel like I can win states this year. I feel good with my game. I feel like I'm back to where I need to be," he said.
Previously, he tied for 27th in his sophomore year and tied for 7th his junior year. He didn't make the cut his freshman year.
His biggest competition are the golfers at Valor Christian, with four on that team alone who will be tough to beat. Then again, he's competed with a number of the state contenders all summer, so he knows what he's up against.
Still, he knows he has a battle ahead of him. Last year, he nearly missed the cutoff at the regional tournament, facing a poor front nine and battling back on the back.
"You can't overlook anything," he said.
Meanwhile, Mitchell is courting college golf programs, and currently has Colorado State and Washington State at the top of his list, based on theirs and his interest.
This winter, Mitchell plans to compete in a few events regionally and nationally, but nothing like what he's done in 2012. among his goals is to qualify for the U.S. Junior Amateur.
"I'm right there, it's just putting those two rounds together at the right time," he said. "It's a lot about peaking at the right time."

The conventional wisdom on Joaquin Phoenix is that his devotion to his work is rivaled in its intensity only by his aversion to promoting it. For the world premiere of his new film, Paul Thomas Anderson's The Master, at the Venice Film Festival, Phoenix flinched from photographers on the red carpet and, at the movie's press conference, fidgeted, smoked and barely spoke. A week later, at the Toronto Film Festival, he skipped the press conference altogether. It could be argued that, in a metaphysical sense, Phoenix also skipped his infamous promotional engagement on Late Show with David Letterman in February 2009....

COSTA MESA — While responding to a call, firefighter Todd Palombo noticed that a mother of two was in need of more than medical attention.
Firefighters and paramedics were tending to Amanda Ritchie when Palombo found out her 2-year-old, Jordan, sleeps on the couch every night.
Ritchie, her husband and their two daughters moved in with her mother-in-law and grandmother after leaving Idaho a month ago.
For the 10th year, Costa Mesa firefighters played Santa's helpers and distributed gifts, clothing and other necessities to families like Ritchie's.
"I want to cry," Ritchie said as firefighters walked through the door, their hands filled with bags of gifts, clothes, bed sheets and pillows.
School Trustee Katrina Foley joined the firefighters for the fourth year. And for the first time, Foley's son, Sam, 12, tagged along.
"My family could've been any of these families when I was a kid, so it's nice to be able to give back," said Foley, an outgoing councilwoman.
Palombo's two young children and wife, Joelle, were also on hand.
And, of course, Santa was present.
"Santa is so pleased with us and decided to take a break for the day from his work and come spend the day with us," Palombo said.
While at Richie's house, Foley and a couple others noticed Jordan has amblyopia, which causes the so-called "lazy eye" syndrome.
Because the family doesn't have health insurance or enough money to afford treatment, Jordan hasn't had the surgery necessary to correct her eyes, Richie said.
Foley said her sister had the same problem when she was young, and there were people who helped her mother with the funds needed to get the surgery done. To help Jordan, contact Foley at email@example.com.
Throughout the day, the firefighters, Foley and Santa hopped on fire engines and made several stops, including the Motor Inn on Harbor Boulevard, to help 150 families.
Before stopping at Ritchie's home, the firefighters went to the Heritage House in Costa Mesa, a nonprofit that allows pregnant women or mothers of young children to keep them while recovering from substance abuse.
Julia Onate, 26, lives at the Heritage House with her 11-month-old daughter, Anya. She has no family, so without gifts and clothes from firefighters, she and her daughter would have had nothing for Christmas, she said.
Andria Bennett, a drug and alcohol counselor at the Heritage House, could hardly contain her tears.
"A lot of these women and their children haven't known Christmas for years, and this is so special and so magical," she said. "It's such an amazing process and I get to witness it."

Mavis Pusey (1928 - present)
Decaying 7, c. 1970
Etching and aquatint on paper
17 3/4 x 13 3/4 inches (image)
Signed, titled, and inscribed in pencil at lower margin: Test Proof / Decaying 7 / MPusey
From an edition of 35
African-American artist Mavis Pusey was born in 1928 in Jamaica, West Indies. Pusey began her studies in the Arts Students League in New York. Originally studying fashion she switched her interest to printmaking, studying with Will Barnet at the League.
Further studies took her to London, where she worked at the Birgit Schold Workshop, then back to New York and finally to Virginia, where she received her B.A. at Mary Baldwin College. Between 1969 and 1972 she worked at the Robert Blackburn Workshop and later at the New School for Social Research in New York. She exhibited with Louis Soulanges in Paris, Curwen Gallery in London and AAA in New York.
Her art has been exhibited internationally in galleries, collections, and in solo and group exhibitions. She has taught at various educational institutions, including the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts; Drew University, New Jersey, and the New School for Social Research, New York, among others.
She was affiliated with the Federation of Modern Painters and Sculptors in New York; the National Museum of Women in the Arts; and the Visual Artists and Galleries Association to name a few.
Pusey writes, "Tempo and movement hold onto a color and texture to convey the tension that is the heartbeat of the city. As an abstract-geometric artist, I have always been inspired by my environment. I see realistic shapes before I transform them into abstract forms."

An handy plugin NppConverter is included in the official release. It converts between ASCII text/binary data and Hex string. It translates also a value to ASCII, decimal, hexadecimal, binary and octadecimal.

It's Monday afternoon, but it's going to feel a bit like Football Night in America when Pro Football Talk on NBC Sports Network hits the air from New Orleans.
Mike Florio, Tony Dungy and Rodney Harrison will bring a little of their Sunday night mojo to the show as we start plowing our way through Super Bowl week until Sunday finally gets here. The teams have both made it to town, taking care of one important logistical step, and the crew has plenty on their plate.
Dungy and Harrison will talk about the best ways to try to stop Ravens running back Ray Rice and 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick. 49ers running back Frank Gore and Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco will also be up for discussion during the hour.
It all gets going at 5 p.m. ET on NBC Sports Network.
