The Washington Post published a long feature on Monday about a 65-year-old man whose murder remains the only unsolved killing in Montgomery County, Maryland. Police working on the case have noted a lack of evidence they are now used to relying on: the digital footprint created by our text messages, e-mails, and social media accounts. Often times, this type of evidence can present a different and sometimes more detailed perspective on a victim.
The man in question, Philip Welsh, was beaten to death in his own home in February. The police suspect it was not a random crime, but they're lacking in leads. Welsh led a staunchly technologically ascetic life, with no computer or cell phone to his name. His technology included an answering machine, a Smith-Corona typewriter, and a CRT TV with built-in VCR and DVD players, according to The Post.
While violent crimes don't always turn on digital evidence, Captain Marcus Jones, commander of Montgomery County's major crimes division, told the paper that "those records usually help." It's often younger suspects and victims who let their conflicts play out so plainly through digital means, like a 16-year-old girl who literally stabbed her friend in the back after a Facebook argument or one 22-year-old man who posted cryptic status updates moments before murdering his baby daughter. It's not just millennials who do this though: a 31-year-old man posted photos of his murdered wife on Facebook, and text messages were featured in the Pistorius and Trayvon Martin murder trials.
Welsh's body was discovered the morning after he was killed, and police note that they are lacking leads not only in digital evidence, but in physical or anecdotal evidence as well. The investigation remains ongoing.


text: RESPECT Statement In the traditions of Iona College and the Edmund Rice Christian Brothers, we as a community are committed to RESPECT. This includes but is not limited to RESPECT for our education, RESPECT for our environment, RESPECT for the diversity of all people, RESPECT for our community, and RESPECT for our individual livelihood. This is essential to the development of our true and undoubted potential as members of humanity and the society which surrounds us. Through peer to peer accountability, the student run RESPECT Campaign promotes the idea that a simple action can make a difference, and even those unseen can and will make a prominent change. This will be done through the charitable and voluntary actions of students. Some of these are: Random community clean-ups in the residential area surrounding the Iona campus, of which many students reside. The advertising and encouragement of RESPECT through marketing materials most importantly, spoken word. Both Iona and the surrounding community coming together in a productive and responsive dialogue, concerning the past, present and future of Iona in the New Rochelle community. Participating in events and fundraising, which help provide the New Rochelle community with assets which are imperative to the health and safety of not only Iona students but the entire New Rochelle area, and potentially areas beyond that. Creating campus events which promote the equality and diversity of all people, and celebrate the differences which make our nation so unique. Our hope is that this campaign will instill responsibility, civic action, and social awareness. Through encouragement, understanding and compromise, we believe that students will continue to respect one another, as well as themselves, and will carry these practices beyond their days at Iona. ~ Adopted Spring 2008

If I had a dollar for every time my mom told me, "I just thought the fabric was so cute!" I would be a millionaire. She always said that, I think partly to justify her spending so much time in fabric stores and money on fabric. My mom made beautiful quilts throughout the last ten years of her life, and had little quilting pals, and loved to spend hours and hours looking at fabrics, cutting, sewing, trying new patterns. I truly love the quilts she made for me, even though I was such a brat and only wanted 'huge quilts', because I didn't see the point of a lap quilt. I have two king sized quilts, when looking back, realizing how much MORE sewing went into that to make it so huge… what was wrong with me!
When I went to college, she started sending me pillowcases so I would get mail at school, even though I was only 45 minutes away from home. I never knew how much I would cherish my quilts that she made me or the little trinkets she would send. How they would become the solid memory of how much my mom cared for me, was proud of me and loved me. She used to make me pillow cases for all the holidays and for little things I loved. Flamingo pillow cases, chicken pillow cases, fast food pillow cases, sushi pillow cases, valentines pillow cases, Christmas pillow cases, I probably have 30. I remember when she made me this pillow case and I promised her when she gave it to me, over seven years ago, I wouldn't use it until the time was right. I remember looking at it and thinking that time in my life when it would be right to use it was so far away, and I would probably never use it! I loved how she always tried to justify the random and fun pillow cases with the 'I thought the fabric was just too cute!' line, and she definitely did that with this special pillow case. Which I totally agree with, the fabric is ADORABLE!
I realized I still hadn't taken it out last night. I don't know why I didn't, but it was almost like it made everything official, even though I have been engaged for over 2 months. I reached into the chest I have with stuff that reminds me of her and special things that she's made for me and my brother, and I saw it, sitting on top of the chest and I knew it was finally time. I could finally use it. I took out the pillow case that I thought was the best one she's ever made, the one that I haven't ever used yet!
With little wedding cakes and a strip of pink hearts and rings all over the pillow case, I knew my mom was smiling down on me and reminding me that the fabric was just too cute to pass up!
I thought about this post for a while last night. A lot of time, planning a wedding without a mom is tough. It causes a lot of emotions to come to the surface that you didn't think were there anymore. I am so lucky to have great figures in my life who take the time and make sure I feel extra special during the 'mom' moments. Most of the time I keep my posts pretty non-personal and running/fitness related, or try too, but I knew this would be a memory I wanted to keep written down somewhere. It's those moments that make a difference. Thanks for thinking ahead Mom!

While we're on the subject of credibility in historical films, there's another scene from HBO's John Adams that's worth looking at, one which illustrates authenticity of a different kind—the authentic depiction of historical personalities
Before watching the scene, we'll set the stage with a few descriptions of the characters involved. Here's David McCullough describing Jefferson and Adams in the book on which the series is based: "Where Adams stood foursquare to the world, shoulders back, Jefferson customarily stood with his arms folded tightly across his chest. When taking his seat, it was as if he folded into a chair, all knees and elbows and abnormally large hands and feet" (p. 111).
Joseph Ellis describes Jefferson as "a listener and observer, distinctly uncomfortable in the spotlight, shy and nervous in a distracted manner that was sometimes mistaken for arrogance" (p. 32).
Finally, here's Edmund S. Morgan on Benjamin Franklin: "[He] could not see anything without asking himself what it was, how it got that way, what made it tick. He had that rare capacity for surprise that has made possible so many advances in human knowledge, the habit of not taking things for granted, the ability to look at some everyday occurrence and wonder why" (5).
Now here's the scene, with Adams and Franklin critiquing Jefferson's draft of the Declaration of Independence:
I'd say these guys did their homework.
Good writing, good acting, and good direction can bring us as close as we're likely to get to seeing historical figures in the flesh, and when it happens, it magic.

How to Build an Awesome Sand Castle With Your Kids
Have your kids ever had a disappointing sand castle flop?
Want to know the secret to building sensational sand structures every time?
Take your family's sand castle creations to the next level with these easy tips.
Building a sand structure is a great way to bond with your family at the beach. Use these easy tips to create a castle masterpiece instead of a massive failure!
In this article I'll share four simple secrets that will help you achieve sand castle success with your kids.
Why Build a Sand Castle?
There's no better beach project than to build a sand castle as a family. It's practically a summer rite of passage. On the list of things you must do when you head to the beach: splash around in the water, look for seashells and build a sand castle.
Although it may seem like a piece of cake, building a sand castle is deceptively tricky. You can spend hours digging, patting and sculpting and still find that your finished product is not all you hoped it would be. There's an easy way to fix that!
Work together to design your castle and plan the décor. Then create the best sand castle ever. And have fun. Fun is a huge part of sand castle building.
Beach Fun: How to Build Sand Structures With Your Kids
Do your kids love to dig and play in the sand at the beach?
Looking for something new to do next time you go to the shore?
With nothing more than a shovel, a ball and a bucket of water, your kids will have a blast at the beach all day long.
In this article, I'll show you how to make three sand structures you may not have seen before; three projects that go far beyond the standard sand-pail castle.
Why Make Sand Structures?
A trip to the beach is the one time that parents actually encourage their kids to jump in the puddles and play in the dirt (otherwise known as sand). And kids LOVE it—digging, building, experimenting with all of the things that sand plus water can do.
I thought up some unique activities to do in the sand and tested them out with my own family so that I could share the best ones with you.

BEIRUT (AP) -- With the Syrian civil war edging closer to Damascus, the capital's business elite long cultivated by President Bashar Assad as a support for his regime is starting to join the exodus from the country.
Popular restaurants and high-end stores in Damascus have shut down as their owners move to Beirut and reopen there. They become the latest part of the flight of the Syrian upper class, thousands of whom are believed to have moved abroad over the past year, mainly to Lebanon, Turkey and the Gulf.
Syrian merchants and factory owners have rented apartments in the Lebanese capital as well as Dubai and Cairo. Many skyscrapers dotting Lebanon's famed Mediterranean corniche are known to have been rented out to Syrians at exorbitant prices.
Most still largely back Assad and hope to return, but their flight is a sign of the deep worry over the direction the fight has taken.
"Most people in Damascus have lost hope," said Reema, a chemical engineer. She fled the capital last summer and now lives in Beirut, managing a factory in one of Damascus' industrial zones remotely, via Skype. At first, "we could hear the bombs from around Damascus but we knew that they were far away so we got on with our lives ... Now, the war is everywhere."
She said she has seen a new influx of Damascus residents into Beirut and expects more to come once schools go on summer vacation and well-off Damascene families feel freer to pack up. Reema spoke on condition she be identified only by her first name for fear of reprisals against her business or collague still in Syria.
"Some who have been coming back and forth between Beirut and Damascus are giving up and want to stay to avoid the hassles of checkpoints and ID checks and fear of being taken by groups who just pick people up from the streets," she said, adding that residents blame both regime and opposition-linked groups for disappearances.
Several other businessmen who fled more recently to Beirut spoke to The Associated Press of growing numbers of the elite choosing to leave for the time being. But they refused to give details or be quoted because of worries over their enterprises back home.
The extent of new departures was impossible to confirm. The Damascus area has seen some waves of violence previously over the past two years. But in the past few months it has intensified, with heavy fighting in towns and villages on the capital's outskirts and frequent barrages of rockets and mortars into the city itself. The industrial zones in Damascus are largely protected by government troops. But crippling security measures and a network of checkpoints slow down industry. Lack of electricity and a spike in kidnappings of wealthy residents is also prompting some to move abroad.
More than 1 million Syrians have fled the country to escape the civil war, now its third year. The bulk of them are poor, largely from the country's Sunni Muslim majority that makes up the backbone of the rebellion, leaving homes battered by fighting between rebels and regime forces around the country and crossing into Jordan, Turkey or Lebanon.
Syria's powerful and monied elite have long had a complicated history with the regime. The rich and powerful industrialists, merchants and factory owners are mostly secular Sunni Muslims, mainly from families who were largely allowed to operate in Aleppo, Syria's economic engine, and in Damascus, without government interference while the Assad family's Alawite sect, an offshoot of Shiite Islam, kept its grip on political power.
When the uprising against his rule erupted in March 2011, most stuck by the president. That support has been strained by two years of bloodshed that has killed an estimate 70,000 people and disrupted business and life. But many deeply distrust the rebels because of the strength of Islamic hardliners and the lack of a cohesive leadership.
"With the fighting ripping apart the social fabric of cities, the elite is increasingly very confused because they can't support the regime any more but also cannot embrace the rebels, who are looking to take over their properties," said Joshua Landis, a Syria expert at the University of Oklahoma.
Syria's urban elite has been concentrated in the northern city of Aleppo and the capital Damascus. Most of the rebels come from the underdeveloped countryside — poor, religiously conservative and angry over years of economic marginalization they say was enforced by the old merchant families and regime-linked industrialists.
The first waves of the elite leaving came last year, from Aleppo and the central city of Homs. Now, industrial zones in those cities packed with textile, plastics, pharmaceutical and cosmetics manufacturers stand virtually deserted.
Aleppo, the country's largest city, became a battle zone last summer when the rebels launched an offensive there. Since then, it has been torn apart by months of grinding urban warfare that has devastated the city and left it carved into rebel- and regime-held zones.
Even before the fighting started in Aleppo, businessmen say rebel fighters from the countryside came to factories demanding the owners pay up.
The owner of an Aleppo plastics factory said that about a year ago, rebels came and told him, "You need to support our revolution or your factory will burn down." He negotiated with them and they walked out with a safe containing 400,000 Syrian pounds, about $5,700.
Three months later, he locked the factory doors and moved to the United States, managing his businesses from there. He spoke on condition he be identified only by his first name, George, fearing harassment of his family and his associates, who still travel to Syria from Lebanon and Turkey.
George and his father, who has moved to Turkey to set up a business, pay rent on an apartment in Beirut for George's sister, he said.
George said the "class component" of the revolution became impossible to ignore. To the rebels, "there was 100 percent correlation between the regime and the rich," he said. "Having money meant you were in bed with the regime."
Few industrialists in Damascus and Aleppo have entirely shut down their business, choosing instead to run them remotely in hopes fighting will subside and they can return.
"For us to go back, the government would have to win this decisively and put business where they were," George said.
Most of the business community is in a "wait and see mode," said Ayham Kamel, a Middle East analyst at the Eurasia Group in London.
"The Syrian business community still views its role in the rebuilding Syria as vital," Kamel said. "There is a prevalent thought among the elite that they will return and re-establish their business enterprises once the war is over."

Almost There!
I still need to add the off-white border to the 13 circles I made since my last granny square post, but that should be quick.
The last pic shows the two squares she wasn't too fond of… the colors didn't contrast enough for her. After she saw my disappointment that there were two she realized my "Which squares are your least favorite?" question was a trick. When I asked her again whether there were any color combos she objected to, she was nice enough to say no. Immediate sense of relief. ha.
Julie Mack permalinkJune 8, 2010 10:47 pm
These are so lovely! I really like these colours. Ummm…What stitches have you used? A nice change to the usual square grannys. I'm a really bad crocheter, but would like to learn a new stitch like this : )

Physics Programs » SIMON/DyMESH
Why am I getting "Bad or Incompatible Vehicle Data: Check Dimensions" message?
Q: I am trying to run a SIMON/DyMESH event involving a rollover. I quickly imported a line drawing to use as a guide for matching my simulation to my scene evidence. I set-up the vehicle into the correct initial positions, assigned velocities and driver controls and was sure to set DyMESH options to Include Environment. However, when I try to run the event, I get the message "Bad or Incompatible Vehicle Data: Check Dimensions." Why am I getting this message and what do I need to do to address it?
A: It sounds like you are trying to work with an environment model that doesn't include any surfaces. You have imported a line drawing and are thinking that the usual Z=0 plane will be acceptable for the vehicle body vs. terrain interaction, which you asked for by choosing to "Include Environment" in the DyMESH options. However, DyMESH works by modeling the interaction of the surface geometry of the vehicle with the surface geometry of the terrain model, and your terrain model information only includes the line drawing elements, not surfaces. You can either go back to your original CAD model and add surfaces, or you can quickly go to the 3-D Editor in HVE and add a very large surface under your line drawing. This now provides a surface for the vehicle exterior to interact with during the rollover and you will be able to run your simulations as expected.

TOCKENHAM showjumper Jessica Mendoza fended off competition from Britain's top international riders to win the 1.50m Grand Prix on Nuggets L'Amandour at Addington Manor.
The 16 year old faced competition from around 50 others in the class, including top British competitors Tina Fletcher and Michael and Ellen Whitaker.
Mendoza was one of only eight in the jump-off, going early on, setting a fast clear round target which none of the others could beat.
"Without a doubt, this would be Jess's biggest win to date. It was one of the biggest tracks you get in national competitions and knowing that we can hold our own against the very best in the country makes the future look good," said father and trainer Paul.
"I'm so happy with that. The horse went really well for me," added Jessica.
It has been a good month for Mendoza who – in addition to taking home £9,000 in prize money from the Addington Grand Prix - has been accepted on to the World Class Development Programme.
The programme works with talented riders to maximise their potential and deliver success on the international stage, with the Rio Olympics in mind.
Mendoza finished her last year of pony riding competitions last December. Her world-famous pony Tixylix has gone to a new home with Mandy Hall in Hertfordshire, whose daughter, Jodie Hall-Macateer, will be taking over the ride.
"Tixy has been such a good pony for me and I hope her new rider has as much of an amazing time as I did with her. I just hope I get a horse as good as her one day. She will be missed greatly," added Mendoza.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 7, 2012 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America (PhRMA) announced today the recipients of the first annual Research and Hope Awards. This year's award honors outstanding achievements in academia, the biopharmaceutical research sector, as well as the patient and caregiving communities to help advance medical progress and patient care for Alzheimer's disease.
"Too often, the hard work and unwavering commitment by individuals who dedicate their lives to improving patient care go unrecognized. The Research and Hope Award honors those who rightly deserve credit for all of the sacrifices they have made to advance research and patient care in the fight against Alzheimer's disease," said PhRMA President and CEO John J. Castellani. "Despite the tremendous hurdles, the recipients of the Award have shown us that progress is not only possible, it is happening every day. Their achievements give hope to all of us, especially to patients and their families."
Alzheimer's disease is a progressive brain disease that slowly destroys memory and thinking skills, affecting one in eight older Americans. Current projections show that by 2050, one American will develop the disease every 33 seconds, costing the U.S. health care system $1.1 trillion annually. During that time, Alzheimer's related Medicare spending alone will increase nearly 600 percent. These projections could change dramatically if a treatment were discovered to help delay the onset of Alzheimer's by five years. Such a treatment could help save Medicare and Medicaid $140 billion annually in 2030, and could save the U.S. health care system $447 billion annually by 2050, according to the Alzheimer's Association.
"On behalf of PhRMA and our member companies, we salute these award recipients for their heroic work to advance medical research and improve patient care," said John C. Lechleiter, PhD, chairman, president, and chief executive officer of Eli Lilly and Company and chairman of PhRMA. "The individuals whom we honor with the Research and Hope Awards, through their achievements, highlight the importance of our collaborative efforts to bring forth new medicines that alleviate suffering, improve lives, and bring hope for people around the world."
The researcher awardees were chosen by a special committee of the PhRMA Foundation Board of Directors following a nominations process. The patient advocate recipients were selected by a committee consisting of representatives from PhRMA and the cohost organizations.
The nominations were reviewed and discussed at length and chosen by a group of individuals with extensive knowledge and experience in the science and patient advocacy fields.

SAN JOSE, Calif. — With his heel healed, San Jose Earthquakes forward Steven Lenhart and the club can go to work on the perception that he's one of MLS' biggest heels.
Lenhart is expected to be available to face Colorado on Saturday at Buck Shaw Stadium (10:30 pm ET, watch LIVE online), returning from a two-game suspension courtesy of the league's Disciplinary Committee and an additional match lost to the heel problem.
Quakes head coach Frank Yallop said he plans on starting Alan Gordon alongside Chris Wondolowski against the Rapids, with Lenhart and four-goal rookie Adam Jahn providing firepower off the bench.
"I'm in, man," Lenhart told MLSsoccer.com on Friday. "I'm ready to bash."
The question is how much bashing will take place, with Lenhart under so much scrutiny from officials on the field and at the league office?
READ: Quakes Honduran trio march to beat of their own drummer
Yallop and Lenhart have had multiple conversations on that topic, and the 26-year-old said it would be a matter of "trial and error" to find the right balance of keeping the aggressiveness that his coach wants while making sure to stay on the right side of the law.
"He's got to realize there's a magnifying glass on him, a spotlight on him," Yallop told MLSsoccer.com. "Anything Steven Lenhart does is going to be looked at. It's not easy to play with that on you. But sometimes, if the spotlight's on you, it is for a reason.
"I think that we've worked very hard. I've talked to Steven, spoke to him a lot on not getting involved in stuff that's going to get him into trouble."
This will be only the third time in 13 matches this season that Yallop will have Gordon, Lenhart and Wondolowski — a triumvirate that combined for 50 goals last year — together at the same time.
READ: Did Gordon deserve red in Portland? You make the call!
Lenhart demurred when asked whether he thought opponents were taking advantage of the extra attention being thrown his direction to engage in their own illegalities.
But Gordon, for one, feels Lenhart — who missed several weeks last year due to a concussion suffered in a US Open Cup match against the Seattle Sounders — is being put "at risk" by that kind of imbalance in terms of watchfulness.
"I don't think it's any secret, even going back to last year, I think ... the officiating is unfairly called against [Lenhart]," Gordon said last week. "I've seen him get elbowed in the face several times [with] no suspensions or Disciplinary Committee coming back and suspending people. And then he'll do something and he's either red-carded or suspended."
"I know he's a physical player and he gives out a lot, but he still receives a lot of punishment. So I'm frustrated for him when he doesn't get calls. I know it frustrates me when I don't get calls, and I feel like that sometimes, but he's on a whole new level."

There's always someone who takes the high-fashion risk on the Emmy red carpet. The question for the Sunday night ceremony at the Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles is: Who'll be wearing it?
It was Gwyneth Paltrow and her belly-baring, metallic lace number last year. It wasn't a critical favorite, but now — in retrospect — it seemed like the spark for many of the current runway trends.
As stars started arriving on Sunday, the red carpet was seeing plenty of red — including on Kat Dennings in J. Mendel and Padma Lakshmi in a red strapless gown and Ginnifer Goodwin in red flame over champagne, both by Monique Lhuillier. Jena Malone wore burgundy J. Mendel.
U.S. & World
News from around the country and around the globe
Celebrities build their fashion reputation largely from the red carpet, Lhuillier said, and they'll affect trends for color, silhouette and embellishments.
Lhuillier said Emmy gowns were already in the works earlier this month when she presented her most recent catwalk collection — one in which she declared "the ballgown is gone." Instead, she focused her full-length dresses in mermaid and other sleeker hemlines.
Louise Roe, a fashion commentator and Glamour magazine editor, who'll host of the second season of NBC's "Fashion Star," said her eyes will be on the lookout for anything eye-catching, especially if anyone taps into the harnesses, sheer panels and cutout bodices that designers are offering for 2013.
She thinks stars from "Gossip Girl" and "Revenge" could be among those to watch.
Not everyone watching TV will need a gown in the coming weeks or months, but when they do, they'll often turn to the brands they hear about at the Emmys, Oscars or Grammys, Lhuillier said. "That's what a red carpet does for a company like mine."

Contemporary art
Contemporary refers to the now, the present moment, so at any point in history, the making of new art is always contemporary. The term 'contemporary art', however, has a variety of meanings.
It may refer to what has been made within the last six months or a year. For some curators and critics, it could stretch over possibly two to ten years. For art historians and cultural commentators with a longer view, it often begins after World War II with the rise of abstract expressionism or with the shock of pop art in the 1960s. For many who associate it with the rise of postmodernism, it refers to art made after 1970. For others, it is not a question of when but how the ideas expressed in the work resonate with the art of our time. Contemporary art then, as the term itself suggests, is an ever-shifting field of activity.
Though pushing boundaries is characteristic of contemporary art, it does not mean that what is past ceases to be of interest. On the contrary, it lives on as a vital touchstone. One very tangible example of this relationship can be found in appropriation art, which is a contemporary art form that involves the reproduction and use of existing objects or artworks.
The term avant-garde was introduced in the mid 1800s to describe artists who were exploring new ideas and forms, and today it is strongly associated with modern art movements of the late 19th and early 20th centuries such as futurism, cubism and surrealism. This idea of artistic innovation and originality, with its roots in the avant-garde, remains an important one in contemporary art.
Among the key issues that have shaped the character of contemporary art since the mid 20th century is the way artists began to respond to new technologies. Korean artist Nam June Paik (1932-2006), for example, helped redefine television and video as an art medium. Other important markers include the beginnings of installation art and conceptual art, the use of new materials, the impact of indigenous art, and the rethinking of the found object in art or what was coined a readymade by the influential French artist Marcel Duchamp (1887–1968).
With the availability of the internet, high speed communications, faster travel and increased mobility, contemporary artists have access to an enormous range of human culture. As a result, relationships to place, people, ideas and geography have been radically revised. This continues to be evident and explored in contemporary art.

CLEVELAND, Ohio — A $50 instant lottery ticket may be in the future, say Ohio Lottery officials buoyed by the success of the agency's first $30 instant ticket.
"The next step in the lottery world is the $50 ticket," lottery director Dennis Berg told lottery commission members at a recent meeting. "We have talked about it here and there are conflicting opinions. Logically it is the next price point, but we do not know when it will happen."
Texas appears to be the only state with a $50 ticket, made available by the Texas Lottery in 2007. Each of its two current $50 instant ticket options offer three $7.5 million prizes. The next prize level is $10,000.
To celebrate its 40th anniversary, the Ohio Lottery debuted the $30 scratch-off ticket in January — the most expensive and offering the largest instant prize in Ohio Lottery history. Five $10 million prizes ($400,000 annually for 25 years) 35 $1 million prizes ($40,000 annually for 25 years) will be awarded.
Sales of the $30 ticket from Jan. 12 through April 19 were $71.9 million, officials said, representing 17 percent of all instant ticket sales. Sales have grown each week. The ticket's success has helped the lottery's overall instant ticket sales, which account for more than half of sales.
Instant ticket sales had been declining for a variety of reasons, including the new racinos and casinos and consumers shopping at big-box stores that don't typically offer lottery games, officials said.
Instant ticket sales in March of $142.3 million were $15.9 million higher than March, 2013 and the highest ever recorded for that month in the lottery history, officials told commission members. It was all due to the $30 ticket.
The lottery currently sells $1, $2, $3, $5, $10 and $20 tickets. The $10 and $20 tickets have traditionally sold well, officials said.
Lottery officials also hope to boost sales with a new app that eliminates the need for players to fill out paper playslips. Beginning Monday, the e-playslip app is available for smartphones. Players choose numbers or have them picked automatically, save them and create a QR code. A retailer scans the code and prints out the ticket.
Only Idaho and Montana have similar apps, officials said.

That's outrageous!
Just like they build condos that sell for $1M, I think it's fine to have such tickets in the market. I just know they're not for me.
That money's gone fo ever
Twenty dollar tickets are bad enough. It would take longer to burn a $50 bill then scratch it away. I like the e-playslip app because i always have trouble with machines taking the paper ones .
If I could afford a $50 instant ticket, I probably wouldn't play the lottery

Am I reading this correct $50 to buy one scratch off ticket?
Guess the prize amounts must be more than a million to entice folks to spend that kind of $dough.
That's insane in my opinion but there must be a market for those kinds of players
That may work in Texas but amazed to read that it's being offered in Ohio.
Even the $30 ticket is too much to spend for an instant ticket. But that's just me.
Jon D
You can say that again, That's outrageous.
I'm amazed at all the $20 and up tickets some states offer. We only have one game that's more than $10 in our lottery offerings. I don't know if even California will embrace $50 Scratchers. We only got our first $20 Scratchers about seven months ago.
Yep, and getting stingier with current games.
That is crazy and super stupid. Why go from 7.5 million and the 2nd tier prize is only 10 grand?? Ridiculous!! It couldnt be like at least 50k?? I'll tell ya if I paid $100 and I may only won my $100 back I'd never play it again, cause I would be condsidering I was lucky to get my money back the 1st time, I might not be so lucky the 2nd time
$50 sounds like a lot for an instant ticket.

Meet Bil Baldwin. He's a flag marshal at Long Beach Formula Drift events. He has a Santa beard. He also has nerves of steel. Watch as drift cars tear by sideways, inches from his legs, and he doesn't even flinch.
Let's not patronize Bil. He's not the youngest man at the track, but that alone doesn't make him someone to be oohed and awed about. No, it's his attitude, both when he's marshalling and when he's around the rest of the event, humble and happy to be there.
That and he really does have an awesome beard.

My man is trying a 100% plant-based diet from now until Christmas. He is a committed omnivore, but he happily eats everything that I make. I feel blessed every single day that I get to love him, but mostly? I'm just grateful that he's not a picky eater. I'm also really proud of him for committing to this lifestyle change for a bit. Granted, my skill set may make things a bit easier, but it's still a bit of a leap–especially during the prime holiday season and all of the temptation that goes along with that.
Thick tomato-y stews and soups are pretty much guaranteed to be a hit with him, so other than a green smoothie and a packed up grain bowl for a work lunch, this is the first thing I properly made him on this plant-based journey. Spoilers: he loved it. It has all the usual minestrone bits like garlic, chili, tomatoes, and heaps of vegetables, but I give it a few autumnal twists and turns with diced butternut squash, lots of sage, and chopped chard for a touch of green. Familiar, but still exciting.
Mark's commitment to this change has had me thinking and journaling about what goals I want to manifest as we close out the year. I always have faith that the universe will flow its graces/lessons into the areas that need it at just the right time. Sometimes life is incredibly full, and I don't make the time to meditate on this idea. As the days go on without quiet time for reflection, it becomes easier for resentment, stress, overthinking, self-doubt, cynicism, and other distractions to creep in. I believe that you have to pursue a certain level of mental agility and clarity to truly see what you want out of life before you can really go for it. There's a recognition of self-imposed barriers that needs to take place.
My book's been out for a while and I'm ever-so-slowly getting into some kind of routine with this site. When I see family members or friends I haven't ran into in a while, I typically get the "What's next?" question and I have no clue what to say. I feel like there's this pressure in the online wellness and creative content worlds to constantly be killing/crushing it, to keep lining up and knocking out all the things. I've tried to take on work life with this kind of pace, but I'm the type of person that needs to stop and think about the why of my next move surprisingly often, even with small things.
So while my man is changing his physical/dietary life a bit, I'm embarking on a stretch of deep mental and spiritual work so that I can set clearer goals for bigger truth in my life. It feels like a ripe time to cut away the hang-ups. My "deep work toolbox" is basically whatever form of meditation I can work into my days, cutting down on caffeine and alcohol considerably, reading as much relevant material as I can, and journaling to the point of hand cramps. Open to any suggestions on books, new mindfulness techniques, podcasts, or any other resources you've found helpful on your own journey. Let me know in the comments or in an email, whatever works ;) xo
Print the recipe here!
NOTES: I chose orzo for my pasta here, but little shells or dittalini would be great. I find that when adding pasta to soups, it's important to stir frequently because it can start sticking to the bottom of the pot if you leave it too long.
-I would have added a chopped stalk of celery to this, but surprise! My garden celery was a little woody and not the tastiest. The soup is great either way ;)
-Typically I like to use the chard stems in the same dish that I'm using the leaves, but I'd skip it here. The chopped up stems would make this watery and wouldn't really contribute anything to the soup. Save the stalks for a stir fry, a mixed juice if you're into that, and I've seen recipes that involve pickling the stems as well!
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 medium yellow onion, small dice
1 medium carrot, small dice
1 tablespoon minced fresh sage
2 teaspoons minced fresh thyme
½ teaspoon dried chili flakes
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon tomato paste
3 cups small-diced butternut squash (about ½ of a small-medium butternut)
1 medium zucchini, small dice
1 15oz can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
sea salt & ground black pepper, to taste
1 28oz can crushed tomatoes
7 cups vegetable stock
½ cup dry, small pasta
1 bunch of chard, leaves chopped
In a large, (5.25 quart or large) heavy pot, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the onions and carrots to the pot and stir. Saute until onions are starting to become translucent and soft, about 3 minutes.
Add the sage, thyme, chili flakes, garlic, and tomato paste to the pot and stir. Once the tomato paste is evenly distributed and the garlic is fragrant, about 30 seconds, add the butternut squash, zucchini, and chickpeas. Stir to combine. Season the vegetables generously with salt and pepper.
Add the crushed tomatoes and vegetable stock to the pot. Cover the pot and bring it to a boil. Then, simmer the soup until the butternut squash pieces are tender, about 20-23 minutes. Add the pasta to the soup and continue simmering until pasta is tender and cooked through, about 10 minutes.
Add the chopped chard to the soup and place the lid on the pot. Let the soup simmer until the chard is wilted and bright green, about 2 minutes. Check the soup for seasoning. Serve the butternut minestrone hot with drizzles of olive oil, extra chili flakes, freshly ground black pepper, sprinkles of vegan parmesan, or fresh bread.

- Achieve LEED® points with TRACE 700™
- System Analyzer Wins Product of the Year!
- December FAQs
- Meet the Support Staff -Delia Estrada
TRACE Features That Can Impact LEED® Points
At the recent USGBC Greenbuild Conference in Chicago, it became apparent that many users of TRACE are not familiar with the software's modeling and reporting features that can help demonstrate the number of LEED points intended. Some of the features discussed include ice storage, daylighting and Performance Rating Method (PRM). This article highlights TRACE features that can aid in modeling for LEED.
Whole Building modeling and simulation is required for LEED certification. LEED Energy and Atmosphere Credit 1 (EAc1)references ASHRAE Standard 90.1-2004 and requires the use of the Performance Rating Method (PRM) detailed in Appendix G. Section 188.8.131.52 and G2.2 of Standard 90.1 lists the following eight (8) criteria as requirements for an acceptable modeling tool:
- A minimum of 8,760 hours for PRM – TRACE 700 can be set to calculate 1440 hours per year or can be set to a full 8760 calculation mode where all 8760 hours are calculated separately.
- Hourly variations in occupancy, lighting power, miscellaneous equipment power, thermostat set points, and HVAC system operation, defined separately for each day of the week and holidays – This is done primarily through schedules and calendars.
- Thermal mass effects – TRACE can calculate the thermal mass based on inputs for construction types or the program can override to a desired value. In addition, different calculation methodologies can be used to vary the significance of the effects of thermal mass.
- Ten or more thermal zones – TRACE has no set limit on thermal zones.
- Part-load performance curves for mechanical equipment – TRACE has many standard pieces of equipment defined that include the appropriate unloading curves and ambient modification curves. Users can also create their own custom curves. These curves, in addition to the calculated loads and OADB/OAWB, are used to calculate the part-load efficiency of the equipment.
- Capacity and efficiency correction curves for mechanical heating and cooling equipment – TRACE includes standard unloading curves and capacity curves for all equipment in the program. Users can also create their own custom curves.
- Airside and waterside economizers with integrated control – Airside economizers (dry bulb, wet bulb, and enthalpy) are defined in Create Airside Systems section on the Options tab and water-side economizers are defined on the Cooling Equipment tab of the Create Plants section. Controls that meet Standard 90.1 requirements are available.
- The budget building design characteristics specified in section G3 of ASHRAE Standard 90.1-2004 – TRACE is able to model characteristics of baseline building designs (PRM).
As of June 26, 2007, LEED NC requires a minimum of two points for EAc1. Since PRM is required and quantifies performance that surpasses the requirements; this means that the formally required Energy Cost Budget (ECB) Method for Energy and Atmosphere Prerequisite 2 compliance is no longer necessary. For compliance for other purposes (i.e. state code) using ECB method to demonstrate minimum energy performance, please refer to Engineers Newsletter 34-3.
TRACE 700 fully complies with all of the above criteria. In addition to the minimum 90.1 requirements of a simulation program, the following criteria are also a part of TRACE to further aid in modeling for LEED:
- CO2-Based Demand-Controlled Ventilation with ASHRAE Standard 62.1-2004 – Using the People and Area-based rates in Create Rooms section on the Airflows tab in conjunction with the ASHRAE Std 62.1-2004 and the ASHRAE Std 62.1-2004 with Ventilation Reset System Ventilation Flags in Create Airside Systems, Advanced button will allow a user to model the required ventilation airflows that comply with the ASHRAE Std 62.1-2004.
- Daylighting – The Trace 700 Daylighting algorithm is identical to that used by the DOE-2 computer program except for the user interface. Daylighting systems can significantly reduce both lighting consumption and cooling-energy consumption by reducing the electric-lighting heat gain in the building. A Daylighting definition is created through the Actions menu.
- ASHRAE Standard 90.1-2004 minimally compliant equipment library – The ASHRAE Standard 90.1-2004 library was created to assist users modeling various cooling equipment in TRACE. The library offers a minimally-compliant equipment library to assist with answering questions regarding part-load efficiency, packaged unitary, heat rejection and more.
- Auto fan sizing per ECB/PRM rules – This option allows for automatic fan resizing based upon the analysis being run. The rules are specific to ASHRAE Standard 90.1-2004 Table 188.8.131.52 (ECB) and Table G220.127.116.11 (PRM). Depending on the analysis, TRACE will automatically size the fans to follow the mentioned 90.1-2004 requirements. In Calculate and View Results if the user has chosen Base Alternatives for the ECB and/or PRM, TRACE will automatically determine the maximum fan energy when Apply ECB/PRM rules to fan sizing is checked in Change Energy Parameters.
- Automatic Building Rotation for Performance Rating Method (PRM) – TRACE can calculate a building and rotate it automatically to generate the Performance Rating Method Report. When this option is enabled the program will automatically rotate the building through four cardinal directions (0, 90, 180 and 270 degrees). The energy values will be averaged and displayed in the Performance Rating Method Details report. In Calculate and View Results, the user can select a base alternative from the drop-down list.
- Ice Storage – As detailed in Ice Storage as a Part of a LEED Building Design" Engineers Newsletter, an ice storage system may help the overall building design receive LEED EAc1 points. In Create Plants, Cooling Equipment tab, a default Thermal Storage type for ice storage can be selected or copied and modified as desired.
- Calculation of Cooling Coil Condensate for projected water savings – To aid in projecting water savings for LEED certification, TRACE calculates recovery from Cooling Coil Condensate. Reducing the use of cooling tower make-up water or use for grey water processes are just a couple of the possible uses for condensate produced by the cooling coil. The Equipment Energy Consumption report details the monthly gallons and peak gallons per hour of condensate produced by the cooling coil.
- Additional Control Schemes that can be modeled -
- Ventilation Reset – using ASHRAE Standard 62 as mentioned above or by use of a custom Ventilation Schedule
- Thermostat Schedules
- Supply Air Temperature Reset - Discriminator control allows the program to reset the supply air dry bulb. The reset temperature is determined from the worst case load in a space at any time the schedule reads 1% or greater. Supply air temperature reset based on OADB is a linear reduction in SADB temperature.
- Airside and Waterside Economizers – As mentioned above per the prerequisites in Standard 90.1 of an acceptable modeling tool.
- Chilled Water Reset – If the airside system allows the supply air temperature to be reset, it is also possible to reset the chilled water leaving temperature upward (assuming the system is served by chilled water coils) by entering the Max chilled water reset as a temperature differential.
- Fan Cycling – Fans can be allowed to cycle with the cooling and/or heating loads, and whether occupancy is a consideration.
- Fan Pressure Optimization – is accomplished by picking one of the predefined fan types with Critical Zone Reset.
- Optimum Start/Stop – An Optimum Start Schedule determines the number of minutes before occupancy that fan equipment should start by multiplying the number of minutes required to change the space temperature one degree by the number of degrees away from the space set point. Optimum start periods are typically less than three hours in duration. An Optimum Stop Schedule is used to shut off the main supply fans during the last hour of the main fan schedule period.

System Analyzer Wins HVAC Product of the Year Award!
Consulting and Specifying Engineer (CSE) Magazine named Trane's System Analyzer™ a gold winner in the HVAC category. The recognition reinforces that Trane C.D.S. software programs are "best in class" throughout the HVAC industry.
System Analyzer is a HVAC design program that estimates building loads and performs energy and economic analyses. It quickly evaluates virtually any building, system, and equipment combination.
It's often used as a scoping tool to decide the type of system appropriate for an initial design or to compare how one system-and-equipment combination performs against another.
There will be an upgrade of this product in early 2008 that will include the ability to assign a utility option for secondary coils and plant level thermal storage. Also, research has begun on the existing building development path.
Product of the Year award winners are chosen by industry experts and magazine subscribers. A panel of industry experts, selected by CSE, narrows down competition into finalists for each category. Finalists are published in the June 2007 CSE Specifiers Guide and voted on by the 46,150 CSE subscribers. All winners were published in the November 2007 issue of Consulting-Specifying Engineer.
Can you model dedicated outside air (OA) units in TRACE 700?
A dedicated OA unit can be added to any system type. This is done in the Dedicated OA tab in Create Systems. The TRACE 700 Users Manual will go through inputs for several configurations on page 4-45. An electronic version is also installed in the Documentation directory where TRACE is installed.
What is exhaust heat and why is it negative?
Exhaust heat is heat that is picked up by the return air in the plenum but is exhausted out of the building before it can return to the cooling coil. As the return travels through the return-air plenum, it absorbs some of the load that is in the plenum (i.e., lights, roof load, and so forth). As a result, the return-air temperature rises. However, some of this air is exhausted before it returns to the cooling coil. Because the coil never sees the load, the program removes the portion of the return-air load that is exhausted from the coil totals to balance the load. Exhaust heat is not a credit. It is an energy balance.
Exhaust heat will be zero if the system exhaust is zero. This information can also be found in in the TRACE 700 Users Manual, page 6-22.
Why is the energy consumption on my ECB report so high or low?
The best place to start is the Equipment Energy Consumption Report. This report will include the energy consumption of the cooling and heating plants, their accessories, air distribution equipment, lighting and base utilities. This report will give the total kWh of electrical consumption by month for each piece of equipment. In addition, if the file has multiple alternatives, the report viewer can display the two alternatives simultaneously using the Add Comparison Screen option.
These energy values are derived from the calculated hourly loads generated during the System phase of the program. Therefore, these values should also be examined.
The Building Cooling Heating Demand Report is a report to help you understand the calculated hourly coil load results. The report reflects the coil loads and cooling demands seen by the airside cooling coils (Main Cooling, Auxiliary Cooling and Optional Ventilation Cooling). The exception is load shedding economizers for which the cooling tons are shown are those seen before the economizer effect has been calculated. It reports the coil loads for the Design Weekday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday daytypes. The Design daytype is based on the design weather (and the design cooling schedules) while the other day types are based "typical" TRACE weather.
The System Load Profile Report is expressed in five percent increments of the design load. The Cooling Load Profile and Heating Load Profile defines the cooling and heating loads seen by the airside cooling and heating coils. This profile represents a yearly summary of the cooling/heating demand profiles. This report will show you if your system is running a high or low capacities over the calculated year.
The Cooling Airflow Profile is the airflow quantities seen by the Main Cooling Fan regardless of whether the fan was delivering cooling or heating airflow (as would be the case for VTCV, FC, PTAC, MZ, VAV DDVAV, etc. which use the main cooling fan for both heating and cooling).
The Cooling Airflow Profile is the airflow quantities seen by the Main Cooling Fan regardless of whether the fan was delivering cooling or heating airflow (as would be the case for VTCV, FC, PTAC, MZ, VAV DDVAV, etc. which use the main cooling fan for both heating and cooling).

That last feeling is heightened as Michael lounges in his new Rumble Seat Music showroom, surrounded by a sampling of the most hotly coveted vintage instruments, gear and motorcycles in the world.
"It's a museum," he says with a smile. "But one that you can come in and play."
It's not the most likely spot for such a prominent collector to settle into—his showroom is in one of those anonymous commercial strips in Upper Nob Hill. Neighbors include tattoo parlors, hookah stores, tarot readers and the city's oldest gay club. Some high-nosed types might deem it unsavory.
"I like the young vibe that's going on in this area. It reminds me of New York City in the '70s, '80s. It just has that cool vibe, that energy, and it seems like it's really building too. I just think this area's great."
Collecting instruments ("the hunt," as Michael calls it) has been his passion since he was a kid in Brooklyn.
Michael's love of music grew into a serious vocation, then a lifestyle. He left home at 16 to play professionally and joined Wayne County and the Electric Chairs—an iconic, internationally touring glam-rock band that played home gigs in all the classic New York rock clubs, with top billing alongside the likes of the New York Dolls.
But the excesses of rockstardom carried dark repercussions, as many survivors can attest. After 20 years in its midst, a sober Michael emerged from rehab in Ithaca to start his life over.
"I started out in the early days doing everything—
He also argues that it'll be a better bargain than buying new from other dealers.
"You buy a new guitar and you pay $2,000, then decide you don't like it. They'll give you a thousand bucks in trade, or less—which in my view, I think is fucked up. It's not a good concept of business," he says. "Here, you walk out with a guitar you like, and later if you want an upgrade, you can trade it back and you don't lose all that money."
Michael says he enjoys watching the slack-jawed reactions of people who wander in off the street, expecting rickety salvageable equipment and a drowsy shopkeeper.
Stacked along the room's periphery are massive classic Marshall amps, all in custom colors (royal blue, fire engine red) and in mint condition, purchased from the largest private vintage collection in Italy. Since he doesn't saddle up any more ("I hit a tree once," he says, pointing to a '72 Husqvarna like Steve McQueen used to ride), he decided that customers would at least appreciate the sight of the vintage motorcycles he's amassed over the years. Arrayed around the room, their high shine and sleek lines complement the bodies and colors of the guitars encrusting the walls.
"Some guitars are just sexy looking," he says, gesturing toward a cherry-and-cream dreamboat. He swivels to point to a tall glass case. "There's a '59 Les Paul over there. ... It's been played, it's got that whole magic about it—super cool."
The shop is packed with equipment just five months after opening its doors, and there's still a warehouse full of inventory waiting in the wings. Michael says he's ready to sign paperwork to take over the adjacent space, demo some walls and unveil even more of his collection.
"In other places—all kinds of stores—there's no soul, no care, no love in it," he says.
Another aspect of this labor of love, he adds, is encouraging arts industry friends and customers to visit the shop, to book a tour stop in Albuquerque, to personally experience the "cool vibe" of the area. He says he hopes to draw attention and support to the city's music and arts scene.
"The community deserves it," he says, "and I think a lot of people here don't believe in it."
After all, it was the scrappy, creative character of this place that lured him in during a trip six years ago with his wife. As soon as they stepped out of the airport, Michael says he found himself ruminating: "Whoa, this place feels right. It feels like home."

It's my birthday on Saturday and J planned a special afternoon for us to spend together, I had no idea what we were going to do...but I had a idea it was going to have something to do with food! We stopped on route to grab a bottle of wine. (that's how I knew it was to do with food)
When we arrived at Liquid Gold, I was surprise to say the least. A Olive oil tasting bar? Huh? I have never heard of an olive oil tasting bar....but what was to come was one of the best experiences since living in Nova Scotia (besides the beaches!)
When we walked into the charming hydrostone building, it was lined with stainless steel barrels that were all shined up with spouts. I was excited!! Are you telling me we can taste ALL of these!
Yes that says CHOCOLATE Balsamic!
Not only do they carry the freshest olive oil you can get your hands on here, but they also have a tons of different balsamic vinegars. I was in heaven! The owners Bill & Myrna were super nice and let the little one explore there store while we tasted. I got a bit of a background about the olive oil, which was really cool.
Leeluu chill'n with the owner BillOnce I finished tasting it was the deciding that was hard. I choose the 18 year old balsamic vinegar and two olive oils. One was a very mellow tasting oil with a hint of apple ( Manzanillo), and I also choose a flavored olive oil the mushroom & sage. The bottles are neat and if you bring them back for a refill you get a little discount! I had a great experience at Liquid Gold, I won't buy olive oil anywhere else after tasting fresh stuff!
I will be blogging a lot more with vegan MOFO just a few days away! I hope to get some good pictures, with winter on its way I find it harder to get pictures of what I am cooking, the light just isn't the same.

One Direction praise 'Glee' cover of 'What Makes You Beautiful', share full video
The 'Glee' version of One Direction's smash hit single 'What Makes You Beautiful' hit the web last week, but now the full video has surfaced following the episode's premiere.
The talented show's cast recorded a fantastic rendition of the popular song and debuted it during the prom scene in the 'Prom-asaurus' episode, which aired on May 8, and the boyband took to Twitter earlier today (May 10) to share the clip with their 3.6 million followers:
"Check out the AMAZING @GLEEonFOX version of 'What Makes You Beautiful'! What dya think?? 1D HQ x"
The lads' stylist, Caroline Watson, also recently revealed secrets of their collective look to Now magazine and explained that while she sources some of their clothes from high street stores, some pieces she gets designed especially for them such as Zayn Malik's signature 'Malik' varsity jacket and Harry Styles' 'H' blazer.

I realize this will sound completely sappy, but do you ever come to the end of a day and just feel blessed? Today was one of those days for me. I woke up feeling so good, something I took for granted a mere 6 months ago. I actually didn't have bags under my eyes for the first time in months (and I am so not kidding when I say that). We went to Rory's soccer game bright and early, enjoyed seeing her team run around like little wild people. A friend stopped by with fruit and chocolate (it doesn't get any better than that) and fun gift cards. Thank you, Linda!
We spent the afternoon at my sister and brother-in-law's house with their family and some dear friends. There was good food, really beautiful weather. I listened to the kids laugh, watched them run, drank some rootbeer from a glass bottle. Even something as simple as watching The Sing-Off while I used the treadmill this evening felt good.
The day was blessed from start to finish.

After many LTE related article under "LTE NAS" and "LTE EPC" series, this is time for change. Ahhh February! … The Month of the Lovers… Valentine's Day is celebrated almost through out the world by lovers. Let me share some interesting website links.
Waiting for YOUR comments about MY poems.
- One can refer wikipedia for a long article on Valentine's day.
- There is a funny story about Valentine's day, which claims Valentine's day celebration started in Gujarati Patel cast. :) VelanTime-Day
- This year, I read an inspiring story on Valentine's day by Dr. Sharad Thakar. Here, the author narrates a story of a career oriented young boy, who focused on his study and after getting admission at IIM-A, he proposed the most beautiful girl of his college.
And now, let me share some of my romantic poems today with you all. Most of them are written in Gujarati.
- The first one is like an "open source" love-latter. :) It is in Hindi. "MERA UNSE YAHI SAWAAL HAI" I want to ask her that only.
- "That Rose". The first half of poem is about description of a beautiful flower rose. Second half is about struggle by rose to compete with her. That rose is nothing in front of her beauty.
- "Mukt-Keshi" A description about a beautiful girl.
- What happened when such beautiful girls cook? A humorous picture, of girl-friend who removes the outer skin of hot potatoes. "BATEKU CHHOLATI PRIYA"
- Sometime back, I posted a poem about "communication evolution" among the lovers! "Ashaadhsya Prathame Divase"
- And let me conclude this list with a last poem. It is also about communication. Lovers follow "Heart Protocol". Please do NOT mask me, at which OSI layers, this protocol works !!??!! Earlier blog, I addressed: "GTP is on Layer 3 or Layer 7 ? " For Hear Protocol, find out yourself. click here.

It's Poverty, Stupid
More evidence, as if any were needed, that the main impediment to educational achievement is poverty, a problem for which, I hardly need add, there is no political will whatsoever to discuss much less solve. Things are getting worse, unemployment is high—structurally, permanently, very likely—and the disparities of income and wealth are growing. Meanwhile, the problem isn't even on the agenda of either party. No wonder the so-called school reformers want to blame teachers for everything.
More from Professor Marder here and here.

Sooo pleased with this!
A little project just for me. I just couldn't resist making myself this cute head band. The swan itself was drawn by myself, transferred onto felt and embellished with a lace 'half' yo-yo', then decorated with seed beads. Other decorations I added were some little vintage black buttons, bugle beads and faceted glass beads. For the eye I used a vintage green Mother of Pearl button with a fish eye design. I embroidered a simple trellis on the chest too.
I'm so pleased with this, I'm going to make a few more animal designs. Next I want to try an octopus, I think this will look great too in those white and dirty vintage creams and off pinks. *squeals* can't wait!
Oh, and to top it off.. I'm going to the NEC in Birmingham to the Sewing for Pleasure Craft Event at the end of March! Will be buying loads of fabric goodies and crafting essentials.
Let me know what you think of my head band below! Happy Crafting. =]

Sahara Says It Has Repaid Investors
India's Sahara Group, locked in a legal battle with the country's capital markets regulator over the repayment of $3 billion to thousands of individual investors, said on Saturday that it has returned all the funds and has "nothing to pay."
Sahara, which has interests in realty, entertainment, sports and hospitality, made the claim in advertisements published Saturday in several Indian newspapers. The ads followed an order earlier this week by the Securities and Exchange Board of India, which froze the bank accounts and property investments of two Sahara companies.
SEBI said that Sahara hadn't complied with a supreme court ruling last year that ordered the company to refund $3 billion it had raised by selling bonds.
The apex court had upheld SEBI's view that the Sahara companies broke securities markets rules by selling bonds to individuals under the pretext of a private placement.
Sahara had until this month to deposit money with SEBI, which would, in turn, repay the bond investors. The supreme court said that if Sahara failed to deposit the money the regulator could seize and liquidate the assets of the two Sahara companies.
On Thursday, SEBI did just that. The regulator also froze the bank accounts and properties owned by Sahara Group founder Subrata Roy, one of India's richest men.
In its newspaper ads on Saturday, Sahara didn't specify when the refunds were made to investors and why the money wasn't sent through SEBI, as directed by the court.
A SEBI spokesman declined to comment Saturday.

Maryland Announces 2014-15 Men's Basketball Schedule
COLLEGE PARK, Md. – Maryland men's basketball coach Mark Turgeon announced the Maryland men's basketball team's 2014-15 schedule today.
The Terrapins' schedule features 10 NCAA Tournament teams from last season, with a possible 11th depending on the outcome of the CBE Hall of Fame Classic. Maryland is also scheduled to host perennial powers Michigan State, Michigan, Wisconsin, Indiana and Virginia at the XFINITY Center.
"We are excited to begin our inaugural season in the Big Ten Conference," Turgeon said. "The Big Ten has been one of the best conferences over the past few years. We have a tremendous Big Ten schedule and a great home schedule for our fans. In addition, we're looking to hosting one of our longtime rivals Virginia in non-conference play."
Maryland opens its inaugural Big Ten Conference season with a trip to Michigan State on Dec. 30, followed by its first-ever home Big Ten match Jan. 3 against Minnesota at the XFINITY Center. It will mark the Terps' first non-ACC conference game since they were members of the Southern Conference in 1952-53.
After a pair of road games against Illinois and Purdue, the Terps return home for contests against Rutgers (Jan. 14) and Michigan State (Jan. 17). The Spartans have visited College Park just one time in history, when they defeated Maryland, 95-75, in Cole Field House on Dec. 29, 1955. Michigan State memorably knocked the Terps out of the NCAA Tournament on a buzzer-beater in 2010.
The Terps will then visit Indiana in historic Assembly Hall on Jan. 22 for just the second time in history (2009), in addition to a road date with Ohio State on Jan. 29. Following four games to open February, Maryland will host three consecutive NCAA Tournament teams at the XFINITY Center: Nebraska (Feb. 19), Wisconsin (Feb. 24) and Michigan (Feb. 28).
Maryland closes its regular season with a pair of road matches at Rutgers (Mar. 3) and Nebraska (Mar. 8).
Highlighting Maryland's non-conference schedule is a home bout with Virginia on Dec. 3 in the 16th annual ACC/Big Ten Challenge as the longtime rivals meet for the first time as conference foes. The Terps closed out their tenure in the ACC last season with a thrilling 75-69 overtime victory over the fifth-ranked Cavaliers at the XFINITY Center.
Maryland has played Virginia more times (171) than any other team throughout its history, and holds a 107-74 advantage dating back to 1912-13.
The Terps' non-conference schedule also features a first round matchup with NCAA Tournament qualifier Arizona State on Nov. 24 at the CBE Hall of Fame Classic in Kansas City, Mo. Iowa State and Alabama are featured on the other side of the bracket, with the winners and losers facing off Nov. 25.
Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame head coach Gary Williams will also be inducted into the College Basketball Hall of Fame on Nov. 23 in Kansas City.
The Terps will also travel to Stillwater, Okla., for the first time in program history as it faces NCAA Tournament qualifier Oklahoma State. Maryland won the lone meeting between the teams, 50-49, on Dec. 16, 1966, at the Memphis Invitational.
Maryland will face defending MEAC champion and 2014 NCAA Tournament qualifier NC Central for the second consecutive season at the XFINITY Center on Dec. 10. The Terps were victorious, 70-56, in the inaugural meeting between the teams last season.
In addition to the aforementioned games above, the Terps' non-conference schedule includes nine contests at the XFINITY Center and exhibitions against San Francisco State (Nov. 1) and Bowie State (Nov. 8).
The Terrapins open the season on Fri., Nov. 14 against Wagner, followed by games on Nov. 17 against Central Connecticut State and on Nov. 20 versus Fordham.
After traveling to Kansas City for the CBE Hall of Fame Classic, Maryland returns to the XFINITY Center for a match against Monmouth (Nov. 28).
The Terps will then restore an old rivalry with former Southern Conference foe VMI on Nov. 30. Though Maryland and VMI have met just once since 1953 (Maryland won, 99-68, in 2005), the teams met 51 times dating back to their inaugural matchup in 1911. The Terps lead the all-time series, 42-10.
Sandwiched between Maryland's matchups with Virginia and NC Central is a Dec. 6 game against Winthrop, which has qualified for the NCAA Tournament five times in the last 10 years. The Terps are 4-0 all-time against the Eagles.
Maryland then closes out its non-conference schedule with first-time meetings against both USC Upstate (Dec. 13) and Oakland (Dec. 27). The Terps will also face Bowie State on a date yet to be determined.
