Maurice Sendak's 80th year — which ended with his birthday earlier this summer and is being celebrated on Monday night with a benefit at the 92nd Street Y — was a tough one. He has been gripped by grief since the death of his longtime partner; a recent triple-bypass has temporarily left him too weak to work or take long walks with his dog; and he is plagued by Norman Rockwell.
Or, to be more accurate, he is plagued by the question that has repeatedly been asked about Norman Rockwell: was he a great artist or a mere illustrator?
"Mere illustrator," he said, repeating the phrase with contempt. It's not that Mr. Sendak, who has illustrated more than 100 books, including many he wrote, is angry that people question Rockwell's talent; rather, he fears he has not risen above the "mere illustrator" label himself.
Never mind that Mr. Sendak's originality and emotional honesty have changed the shape of children's literature; that his work is featured in museums; that he has designed costumes and sets for operas, ballets and theater; that he has won a chest full of awards and prizes including a National Medal of the Arts. As the playwright Tony Kushner, one of his collaborators, said, "He's one of the most important, if not the most important, writers and artists ever to work in children's literature. In fact, he's a significant writer and artist in literature. Period."
Mr. Sendak protested, "But Tony is my friend."
Mr. Sendak, a square-shaped gnome, was sitting in the dining room of his Connecticut retreat. His shoulders are a bit stooped, but his fingers are long and delicate. When he hears that the 92nd Street Y event is sold out, his eyebrows rise in surprise.
"They must be coming to see the other people," he said, referring to guests like Mr. Kushner, Meryl Streep, James Gandolfini, Spike Jonze, Dave Eggers and Catherine Keener.
Even his heart attack doesn't seem up to snuff. People aren't impressed with a triple bypass, he lamented; now it has to be a quadruple: "You feel like such a failure."
That Mr. Sendak fears that his work is inadequate, that he is racked with insecurity and anxiety, is no surprise. For more than 50 years that has been the hallmark of his art. The extermination of most of his relatives and millions of other Jews by the Nazis; the intrusive, unemployed immigrants who survived and crowded his parents' small apartment; his sickly childhood; his mother's dark moods; his own ever-present depression — all lurk below the surface of his work, frequently breaking through in meticulously drawn, fantastical ways.
He is not, as children's book writers are often supposed, an everyman's grandpapa. His hatreds are fierce and grand, as if produced by Cecil B. DeMille. He hates his uncle (who made a cruel comment about him when he was a boy); he hates anything to do with God or religion, and Judaism in particular ("We were the 'chosen people,' chosen to be killed?"); he hates Salman Rushdie (for writing an excoriating review of one of his books); he hates syrupy animation, which is why he is thrilled with Mr. Jonze's coming film of his book "Where the Wild Things Are," despite rumors of studio discontent.
"I hate people," he said at one point, extolling the superior company of dogs, like his sweet-tempered German shepherd, Herman (after Melville).
He is, at heart, a curmudgeon, but a delightful one, with a vast range of knowledge, a wicked sense of humor and a talent for storytelling and mimicry.
When Mr. Sendak received the 1996 National Medal of Arts, President Bill Clinton told him about one of his own childhood fantasies that involved wearing a long coat with brass buttons when he grew up.
"But Mr. President, you're only going to be president for a year more," Mr. Sendak said, "you still have time to be a doorman."
Mr. Sendak insisted he was trying to be ingratiating, not funny.
Against all probability, some of the nightmares that have relentlessly pursued him since childhood — like the 1932 Lindbergh baby kidnapping — have been laid to rest. A couple of weeks ago a dealer found one of the tiny reproductions of the kidnapper's ladder that were sold as souvenirs at the New Jersey trial.
"I was floored," Mr. Sendak said. He traded one of his drawings for it. "That ends my obsession with the case," he said.
His fascination with the kidnapping, like many of the other details of his life, has been repeated endlessly over the years in the hundreds of interviews he has given. Was there anything he had never been asked? He paused for a few moments and answered, "Well, that I'm gay."
"I just didn't think it was anybody's business," Mr. Sendak added. He lived with Eugene Glynn, a psychoanalyst, for 50 years before Dr. Glynn's death in May 2007. He never told his parents: "All I wanted was to be straight so my parents could be happy. They never, never, never knew."
Children protect their parents, Mr. Sendak said. It was like the time he had a heart attack at 39. His mother was dying from cancer in the hospital, and he decided to keep the news to himself, something he now regrets.
A gay artist in New York is not exactly uncommon, but Mr. Sendak said that the idea of a gay man writing children books would have hurt his career when he was in his 20s and 30s.
His latest book is one he started about four years ago, right after Dr. Glynn became sick with lung cancer. The illness and setting up of round-the-clock care in their home were just "so unbelievable," he explained. Mr. Sendak is mostly finished with it, but he admitted that for the first time, "I feel extremely vulnerable."
He is afraid — not of death, which is as familiar to him as a child's teddy bear — but of not being able to finish his work: "I feel like I don't have a lot of time left."
After Dr. Glynn's death, Mr. Sendak said he was "still trying to figure out what I'm doing here."
"I wanted to take his place," he said. "His death became a demarcation." He added that he lost touch with many of his friends, unable to return phone calls and reply to e-mail messages.
Mr. Sendak is pleased with the coming birthday celebration, just as he is about his awards and honors, but in the end, he maintained, they don't add up to much. They "never penetrated," he said. "They were like rubber bullets."
It's not that he isn't grateful. "They made me happy, but at a certain point in your life, you see through them," he said. "You don't mock them, you don't hate them, you feel sorry for them" — tiny, inert emblems that just aren't up to the task of answering pressing questions about meaning, soul-touching greatness and durability.
So he spends his days pondering his heroes: Mozart, Keats, Blake, Melville and Dickinson. He admires and yearns for their "ability to be private, the ability to be alone, the ability to follow some spiritual course not written down by anybody."
Mr. Sendak is quick to insist that a vast distance stands between his own accomplishments and theirs. "I'm not one of those people," he said. "I can't pretend to be."
Still, he has the feeling that "I will do something yet that is purely for me but will create for someone in the future that passion that Blake and Keats did in me."
What he has failed to consider, though, is that he may already have.

Daniel Day-Lewis makes Oscar history
Daniel Day-Lewis' Oscar win for his work in a historical drama also put the actor in the history books.
Day-Lewis, known for an intense method approach, which he showed in Steven Spielberg's "Lincoln," is the first man to win three best actor Oscars.
He's previously accepted the same honor for his work in 1989's "My Left Foot" and 2007's "There Will Be Blood."
With 'Lincoln,' a new frontier for Daniel Day-Lewis
"I really don't know how any of this happened," Day-Lewis said Sunday during his acceptance speech. "I do know that I've received so much more than my fair share of good fortune in my life and I'm so grateful to the Academy for this beautiful honor."
Among the many people he thanked on Sunday was his wife, Rebecca, whom he acknowledged has had to live with "some very strange men" over the course of their 16-year marriage.
"They were strange as individuals and probably even stranger if taken as a group," Day-Lewis said. "But luckily she's the versatile one in the family and she's been the perfect companion to all of them."
As far as what's next for Day-Lewis, it sounds like the actor is looking forward to taking a break.
"I need to ... lie down for a couple of years," he told press backstage. "It's really hard to imagine doing anything after this.

Agencies that want to track response to their published documents the way they monitor their website traffic will soon have a new option from Huddle, a cloud collaboration provider in the government space. The company announced a secure publishing platform with a full analytics dashboard, which will allow agencies to measure, track and interact with files they share and publish across the enterprise.
With Huddle's secure publishing platform, agencies will be able to publish final, read-only versions of documents to a secure audience and monitor all activities around the files. The document retains the entire publishing history and user engagement details through the analytics dashboard.
In addition to eliminating the cost and lack of security associated with distributing documentation via email, courier, FTP or the postal service, agencies will be able to measure and improve their business transactions, the company said in its announcement. If, for example, agency field agents need to accept receipt of a new training manual, Huddle will enable agencies to securely publish the file to the staffers' mobile devices, monitor and handle the interactions, answer questions from the staff and follow up privately with individuals yet to review the content.
Huddle's analytics dashboard and secure publishing platform will:
"Large enterprises and governments now want more control and intelligence around the information they're distributing and, for us, secure publishing is more than just sharing a link to a file. It's about combining digital publishing with analytics and providing organizations with much needed insight into the effectiveness of their content and how it's being consumed," said Stuart Cochran, CTO, Huddle.
Huddle's secure publishing platform and analytics platform will be available early 2015.

CHICAGO – Bally Total Fitness has secured extensions of existing forbearance arrangements until July 31 from beneficial holders of a majority of its 9 7/8 percent senior subordinated notes due 2007 and its 10 1/2 percent senior notes due 2011 as well as from the lenders under its $284 million senior secured credit facility, the company announced today.
The extension agreements prohibit any enforcement action by the parties but permit the senior noteholders to declare the senior notes due and payable, as long as no other enforcement action is taken. Bally says it will not pay any fees in connection with the extensions.
Bally continues to solicit votes for approval from its noteholders for the previously proposed prepackaged Chapter 11 plan of reorganization. The voting deadline for that solicitation is 4 p.m. EDT on July 27.
Bally also has entered into confidentiality agreements with Liberation Investments and Harbinger Capital Partners, proponents of an alternative restructuring proposal, and has begun to engage in due diligence discussions with these shareholders, who have agreed to complete their due diligence by Friday.

NADDAF, Gerard. The role of the poet in Plato's ideal cities of Callipolis and Magnesia. Kriterion [online]. 2008, vol.4Selected edition, pp. 0-0. ISSN 0100-512X.
Plato's attitude toward the poets and poetry has always been a flashpoint of debate, controversy and notoriety, but most scholars have failed to see their central role in the ideal cities of the Republic and the Laws, that is, Callipolis and Magnesia. In this paper, I argue that in neither dialogue does Plato "exile" the poets, but, instead, believes they must, like all citizens, exercise the expertise proper to their profession, allowing them the right to become full-fledged participants in the productive class. Moreover, attention to certain details reveals that Plato harnesses both positive and negative factors in poetry to bring his ideal cities closer to a practical realization. The status of the poet and his craft in this context has rarely to my knowledge been addressed.

United asks U.S. government not to fly separated immigrant children on our aircraft
Recent changes to U.S. immigration policy enforcement have placed a spotlight on the separation of immigrant children from their parents at U.S. borders. CEO Oscar Munoz addressed the issue in the following statement today:
At United Airlines, we have been concerned about reports that commercial airlines have been used to transport immigrant children separated from their parents by a newly implemented immigration enforcement policy. Based on some research we have done internally and public reports, we have not seen evidence these children have been flown on United aircraft.
Based on our serious concerns about this policy and how it's in deep conflict with our company's values, we have contacted federal officials to inform them that they should not transport immigrant children on United aircraft who have been separated from their parents. Our company's shared purpose is to connect people and unite the world. This policy and its impact on thousands of children is in deep conflict with that mission and we want no part of it.
Our Marketing Inflight Entertainment and Connectivity team and Bridge, our Business Resource Group (BRG) for people with all abilities, partnered together to test and provide feedback on our award-winning seatback inflight entertainment (IFE) system.
Aptly named "Entertainment for all," our new seatback IFE system offers the an extensive suite of accessibility features, allowing for unassisted use by people of all visual, hearing, mobility and language abilities.
"It's nice to know that I can get on a plane and pick my favorite entertainment to enjoy, just like every customer," said Accessibility Senior Analyst and Developer and Bridge Chief of Staff Ray C., who is blind.
"As a deaf employee, the closed captioning availability on board our aircraft is something I value greatly," added Information Technology Analyst Greg O. "The new IFE further cements United's visibility within the deaf community and elsewhere. It makes me proud to be an employee."
Accessibility features of the new IFE include a text-to-speech option, explore by touch, customizable text size, screen magnification, color correction and inversion modes, and alternative navigation options for those unable to swipe or use a handset. For hearing-impaired and non-English-speaking passengers, customization options provide the ability for customers to be served content and receive inflight notifications based on their preferences and settings —with closed captions, with subtitles or in the language of their choice from the 15 languages supported. Our "Entertainment for all" system won the Crystal Cabin Award in 2019, and recently, the Dr. Margaret Pfanstiehl Research and Development Award for Audio Description by the American Council of the Blind.
"This really showed the benefits of partnering with BRGs in helping us improve products and services for our customers and employees," said Inflight Entertainment and Connectivity Senior Manager Corinne S. "Even though we have been recognized with awards for our IFE accessibility features, we are not resting on our laurels but continuing to work towards improving the inflight entertainment experience for all of our customers to ensure entertainment is available for all."
If your travels have taken you through Chicago O'Hare International Airport anytime since October 2019, you may have had a friendly, caring and jovial exchange with Daniel Smrokowski. Daniel is one of four Service Ambassadors thanks to our ongoing partnership with Special Olympics. This inaugural ambassador program aims to provide Special Olympic athletes employment opportunities within our operation, affording them a unique and meaningful career.
Since 2018, our partnership with Special Olympics has become one of United's most cherished relationships, going beyond the events we take part in and volunteer with. While the plane pull competitions, polar plunges, duck derbies and Special Olympics World Games and other events around the world are a big part of our involvement, the heart of this partnership lies with the athletes and individuals supported by Special Olympics. To advocate for their inclusion in every setting is one of our biggest honors, and we take great pride in the role we play in the organization's inclusion revolution.
Aiding in the success of Special Olympics' mission to create continuing opportunities for individuals with intellectual disabilities, throughout the two-year partnership, United has volunteered over 10,500 hours and donated over $1.2 million in travel to the organization. The impact of this partnership is felt at every level, both at Special Olympics and within our own ranks.
"The Inclusion Revolution campaign, led by our athletes, aims to end discrimination against people with intellectual disabilities. United Airlines has joined in our fight for inclusion, empowering our athletes with the skills needed to succeed and opportunities to contribute their abilities as leaders," said Special Olympics International Chairman Tim Shriver. "United Airlines believes that people with intellectual disabilities should be perceived as they really are: independent, world-class athletes, students, employees, neighbors, travelers, and leaders who contribute to make this world a better place."
Our Service Ambassador program is just one of the many ways Special Olympics has impacted not only our employees, but also our customers. "I see every day how our Service Ambassadors connect with our customers the moment they walk into the airport lobby," said Senior Customer Service Supervisor Steve Suchorabski. "They provide a warm, welcoming smile ad assist in any way they can. To see these young adults hold positions that a society once told them they couldn't is truly the most heartwarming part of my job," Steve continued.
"The opportunity to be a part of the United family means everything to me," Daniel said. "I feel so much pride showing up to work in a Special Olympics/United co-branded uniform, working among such a loving and supportive community. The relationship between these two organizations is truly helping to shape my future while letting me use my gifts of communicating and helping others. Hopefully, I can spend my entire career at United," Daniel added.
In honor of Special Olympics' Global Week of Inclusion in July, we're asking our employees, customers and partners to sign a pledge to #ChooseToInclude at jointherevolution.org/pledge.

The Special Chronicles.
In collaboration with food-logistics company Commodity Forwarders Inc. (CFI), United moved nearly 190,000 pounds of fresh produce to Guam for the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Coronavirus Farm Assistance Program. This new program was created to provide critical support to consumers impacted by the COVID-19 global pandemic.
A variety of fresh fruits were transported from Los Angeles (LAX) to Guam (GUM) on United's newly introduced, non-stop cargo-only flight – a route added to meet cargo demand during the COVID-19 crisis. The fresh food was repacked in 10-pound cases in Los Angeles, prepared for departure at CFI's LAX location, and flown to GUM by the United team. Through this beneficial partnership between United and CFI, the perishable goods were kept cool during every step of the process and distributed as part of the food bank program in Guam.
"Everyone on our team has worked relentlessly during the pandemic to get critical goods to where they are needed most. Establishing a comprehensive network of cargo-only flights have allowed us to keep the supply chain moving even while passenger flight capacity has been reduced," said Regional Senior Manager of Cargo Sales, Marco Vezjak. "Knowing that we are able to help during these difficult times – in this case the Guam community – is our biggest reward and greatest motivation to keep moving forward."
United is proud to play a role in maintaining the global food supply chain and helping people access the supplies they need. Since March 19, United has operated over 4,000 cargo-only flights, moving over 130 million pounds of cargo.
Together, we are facing an unprecedented challenge. United Together, we rise to meet that challenge.

WASHINGTON – Arizona was one of the best states in the nation when it came to the annual funding of pensions and health care for state retirees in 2010, according to a national report released this week.
"Widening the Gap," by the Pew Center on the States, rated states on their funding of pensions and health benefits for public-sector retirees.
Ideally, states would have assets on hand to fund both the annual contribution for each program as well as their liability. An annual contribution is what a state should pay to sustain a program over time, while the liability is the total financial obligation the state has toward the program.
Arizona was the only state able to fund its annual contribution to retiree health benefits in 2010.
The state also had more funding set aside toward the long-term health benefits liability of its retirees than any other state, at 69 percent. The national average for health-care liability funding was just 8 percent in 2010.
"Arizona is the top state in managing health retiree benefits," said David Draine, a senior researcher for the Pew Center.
Arizona was also able to pay its annual contribution for pensions in 2010, one of just 19 states to do so.
But the state fell short of assets needed to cover 80 percent kof its pension liability, the level recommended in the report. Arizona had 75 percent of its total pension liability funded, the report said.
Draine also said that Arizona's unfunded pension liability was $11.6 billion, just higher than the state employee payroll of $11.5 billion for 2010.
Because its assets fell below the 80 percent threshold and the unfunded liability exceeded payroll, he said, the state got a "serious concerns" grade for pensions. But some other states were far worse.
"While Arizona got the worst grade, they're not at the scale of another state that has extremely low funding," Draine said.
Arizona's ability to pay its required annual contribution for both pensions and retirement health care is the most important thing, said David Cannella, a spokesman for Arizona State Retirement System.
"As long as you have the assets to pay out what you need to, you're OK," Cannella said.
Draine said Arizona actually paid more than its recommended amount toward pensions in 2010, with the excess going to its unfunded liability. If it can continue doing that, he said, the state "should be able to begin paying off unfunded liabilities."
Arizona has taken other steps to manage its pension debt, Cannella said, such as not granting cost-of-living increases and changing retirement requirements for current state employees.
"The numbers are what they are," said Cannella, adding that Arizona is doing what it can to manage pensions, although some factors are out of its control.
"We're paying out more than we're taking in but that's not unusual," Cannella said. "The retiree population is increasing and we have a decreasing workforce."
The report was a follow-up to "The Trillion-Dollar Gap," a previous Pew study that looked at the national funding gap of state retirement benefits in 2008.
That number had increased to $1.38 trillion in this report, leading to its call for "continued fiscal discipline and additional reforms" for states to regain ground lost since 2008.
A review of state funding for retiree benefits serves an important purpose, but it's not the whole story, said Jordan Marks, executive director of the National Public Pension Coalition. He said the retirees themselves need to be kept in mind.
"Retirees feel the effects of pension cuts that states make," Marks said. "But I think that overall Arizona has been a great example of balance and compromise."
Marks noted that the Pew report is a "snapshot of funds from the economic downturn," and the pension numbers are not necessarily cause for concern.
"As the economy rebounds, the retirement system will have the money it needs to pay people's pensions they were promised," he said.
Cannella said he believes Arizona's state retirement system is sustainable in the long run.
"The report looks at if the programs are sustainable over time," Cannella said. "And ultimately, we think they are."
Mind the gap
Facts from "Widening the Gap," the Pew Center on the States report on the fiscal health of pension and health care plans for state retirees:
Public-sector pension funding in fiscal 2010:
– Only 16 states met the report's recommended 80 percent funding for pension liability.
– Arizona had 75 percent of its $46.5 billion pension liability funded that year.
– But Arizona paid 101 percent of its required pensions contributions that year, with the extra money drawing down the funding deficit for the entire pension program.
State-retiree health benefits funding in fiscal 2010:
– Arizona was the only state to pay its "required contribution," or annual payments toward state retiree health benefits.
– Arizona had 69 percent of the $2.3 billion of the total funding liability for state retiree health benefits, the highest level in the country. The national average was 8 percent.

When the car suddenly becomes the better smartphone.
The smartphone has literally put everyday things in your pocket. Almost on the quiet, MP3 players, appointment calendars, cameras, lexicons, e-mail clients and telephones have merged into one universal device. It is no wonder that the majority of us have our telephones with us 24/7, but we hardly ever use it to actually make a phone call. And the appropriation continues in earnest: As a result of the complete network integration with the internet, we can now access data almost everywhere with whose help we can do far more than just find out what's going on in the world. We are integrating with networked technology which now means that we can control the temperature in our living rooms from our offices desks, record our favourite television programme when out running errands, we can check if we have brushed our teeth well and for long enough and keep an eye on the amount of steps we have walked so that our own figure is right and the device continues to comfortably fit in our pockets.
It is hard to believe that there are still moments in which we must put down the interface to our daily lives. And that doesn't necessarily even mean when at work because the workplace is itself interconnected for the most part nowadays. But the drive to the workplace is one of those occasions when we are forced to put down our loyal life companions, a companion which we take out and look at 88 times each day on average. And this is something which casts the car in a poor light; in these times of universal interconnection and smart technology, it appears strangely isolated. It is time for a paradigm shift. It is time to think differently about cars. It is time for EDAG Soulmate.
Nice on the outside, even better on the inside!
The study that was conducted in conjunction with Bosch does a lot of things better that are widely understood to be part of interconnected mobility for the future. And all that within a conceptional framework, which not only finally makes driving smart, but which also sets new standards when it comes to design flexibility and production possibilities. The soulmate's inner most workings is based on the EDAG Light Cocoon, which is in turn the presented idea of a new lightweight construction concept produced using a 3D printing process, a process that looked to nature for ideas and replaced surfaces with spatial and far more stable structures. This in turn results in significant reductions in weight - for example an entire 25% in the case of the bonnet alone. Just as is the case with Light Cocoon, a special high-tech translucent material serves as a skin that is lit from the inside. This not only allows a fully individualised colour for the car to be created at anytime - and this is naturally something that you not only do with the App on your smartphone - but it also allows light-based warning signals to be given from both the inside and outside in situations of danger.
The technology inside - a companion through your everyday life
A highlight of the soulmate is its inner workings developed by Bosch for the illuminated and lightening-fast car. Where operating concepts are sometimes either over-the-top futuristic, but barely thought through, or conversely useable, and only aesthetically attractive to a limited extent. In the case of the soulmate, everything is aligned down to the smallest detail of the digital smartness. And that not only in terms of appearance and functionality, but surprisingly also in terms of haptic. Thanks to its very latest eye-movement and gesture control, all the soulmate's operating elements are not only intuitive, but they also ensure a safer operation that is as free from distractions as possible. The dashboard and central console in the soulmate have been united in a purely electronic display. Its contents adapt, for example, to the vehicle's current environment. But the driver's calendar and his personal preferences are also taken into account. And should an appointment be cancelled, the vehicle automatically adjusts the route – to a road where automated driving is allowed, for instance, to give the driver more free time. But this is just one of many applications planned by Bosch, in which the vehicle actively takes care of its driver.
When the postman rings
Besides the normal data that you know from a cockpit, the soulmate can, for example, establish contact to the smart-house over the internet. When the postman rings yet again at the front door, but you are still stuck in traffic, the soulmate takes care of the communication for you independent of the smartphone, and informs the driver that someone is ringing the front door bell. Thanks to modern, smart-house technology, the postman can be allowed into a secured area of the house where he can then get verification that the package has been delivered.
In addition, Bosch have installed the "neoSense" haptic display in the vehicle, a touch screen that gives the driver the feeling that he is using mechanical buttons. This device can generate different surface textures, allowing elements to be felt on the display. This haptic feedback makes it easier to operate infotainment applications such as navigation, radio, and smartphone functions.
Wherever the journey takes us
The example with the postman gives us a clear picture of where the technological journey will take us. Soulmate is not a driveable smartphone and is also not an interface for mobile devices. It is instead, literally, an assistant and life companion - therefore soulmate - which makes life easier for the driver in many different areas of their life. Whether it be the communication or the control of smart, interconnected technology - soulmate transposes the idea of the smartphone as a universal "Jack-of-all-trades" on the street and ensures that mobility and "mobile" not only finally find each other, but also complement each other in a way that makes sense just like the telephone and the software. And just like that making telephone calls with the smartphone is actually now just a secondary function almost, it is certainly imaginable that due to the possibilities offered by the soulmate technology, driving the car - which is its primary function - will actually become the thing that we pay the least attention to in the future. In particular when we look to the present.
It is already the problem today that many pay more attention to their smartphone when driving than to the actual driving itself - which is certainly a risk. It is for this reason all the more important to find solutions in the future which will not limit our mobile interconnection, but which will complement it in a way that makes sense and which makes driving safer at the same time. EDAG soulmate is not just a possible solution, but perhaps also an evolutionary step for the automobile which finally brings together comfort and the comfort of the digital everyday life to perfection. And that within a technical framework, which when it comes to design possibilities, can write automobile history when it comes to economic efficiency and the innovative use of resources.

Illinois State Sen. Heather Steans discusses the gay-marriage bill she hopes to bring to a floor vote this month.
The U.S. Supreme Court is set to tackle gay marriage in a matter of months, but legislative action this week in Rhode Island and Illinois shows that supporters aren't in wait-and-see mode.
Buoyed by ballot victories in four states in November, they're now on the offensive in two more; wins would mean that more than 20 percent of Americans live in places that have approved same-sex marriage.
Opponents are pushing back hard to make sure that doesn't happen, even as they express confidence that the nation's high court will rule in their favor when it weighs in on the Defense of Marriage Act and California's Proposition 8.
"Everyone is looking at the Supreme Court. What happens then defines a lot of more about what happens next in the fight," said Brian Brown, president of the National Organization for Marriage."
"We're gonna win that and then there's going to be a state-by-state fight, and our record on that is amazing."
The scope of any Supreme Court decision is far from clear. They could rule that every American is entitled to the right to same-sex marriage or they could allow states to keep bans on gay marriage or they could do something in between.
In the meantime, gay-marriage advocates are pressing the issue at the state level. In addition to Rhode Island and Illinois, lawmakers in Delaware, Hawaii, Minnesota, New Jersey and Rhode Island reportedly could consider the issue later this year.
"There's always risk when you go to the Supreme Court. You never want to put all your eggs in one basket," said Janson Wu, staff attorney at Gay & Lesbian Advocates & Defenders.
Wu has been busy in Rhode Island, where bills to allow gay and lesbian couples to wed were introduced in both chambers of the legislature and where the speaker of the House has promised a floor vote this month.
Both sides agree the measure is likely to pass the House. Wu says he's "cautiously optimistic" of a win in the Senate, followed by the governor's signature, while Brown says, "I think we're going to stop the bill."
In Illinois, a Senate Committee voted 8-5 late Thursday for a gay-marriage bill, but then delayed a full-floor vote. There may not be action on it for weeks.
Jim Young / Reuters
Mercedes Santos, right, hugs her partner of 21 years, Theresa Volpe, after a vote on a bill to approve gay marriage in a committee hearing at the Illinois State Capital.
Sen. Heather Steans, the sponsor, told the Associated Press that it's a matter of "when, not if" the measure will pass, with Democrats controlling the Senate 40-19.
"This is never going to be an easy one, but it's only going to get easier," Steans said, citing growing acceptance of marriage equality among lawmakers and constituents across the state.
Brown scoffed. "If she had the votes, there would have been a floor vote," he said. "They called off the session. This is a major victory for supporters of traditional marriage."
Still, his group isn't taking any chances.
It vowed to form a state political action committee and spend $250,000 to defeat Republican lawmakers who vote for gay marriage in Illinois, crowing that it helped defeat four GOP state senators who supported the bill that passed in New York.
Nine states, accounting for 15.8 percent of the U.S. population, according to the Human Rights Campaign, have approved gay marriage. A total of 38 states have either a state law or constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriage.
States still up for grabs include New Jersey, where the Legislature approved same-sex marriage and Republican Gov. Chris Christie vetoed it, and where a lawsuit that would force recognition of gay marriage is still pending.
Before the debate in the Garden State is resolved, the Supreme Court will probably have ruled on the two cases it agreed last month to take up. It will hear a challenge to the federal law known as DOMA, which denies federal benefits to same-sex couples, and the challenge to Proposition 8, the voter initiative that banned gay marriage and was overturned by state courts.

In order to always look stylish and fashionable, you need to regularly do a haircut clippers. In addition, a haircut is needed in order to get rid of brittle, split ends.
Absolutely everyone needs regular haircut clippers, because over time, the structure of the hair deteriorates from drying by hair dryers, curling curlers, and hair curlers, and they begin to fade. In addition, fashionable and original hairstyle allows you to emphasize the advantages of appearance. So, haircut clippers!
A short haircut, haircut clippers, even if it suits you perfectly, requires at least minimal use of styling products. Otherwise, on your head you will have eternal chaos – strands and creases sticking out in different directions – this can spoil even a perfectly chosen image.
Usually, short hair, haircut clippers, is enough texturing paste or clay. If you do not wash your head every day, then the products can be applied every few days – their effect usually lasts a long time.
Long hair can be trimmed every six months, and they will look great, and for short hair, haircut clippers, you need an eye and an eye (the shorter the haircut, the more scrupulous the approach). So that the hairstyle does not lose its shape, visit the master at least once a month and a half.

In general, I greatly prefer running under Linux as compared with Windows. Please don't misunderstand me - I think WIndows 7 is a very nice piece of work, and the fact that it remains more or less compatible with earlier and much less accomplished variants of Windows is nothing short of a miracle. What I miss in Windows is the sheer power and configurability of Linux. The sheer wealth of development tools is also an attraction.
However, Windows does tend to beat Linux at gaming, and the big graphical performance bottleneck appears to be X/Windows. I know that there alternative window systems to X that purport to be lightweight, yet broadly compatible replacements for X. Two such are Wayland and MicroWinX.
My question is, do any of you have any experience with alternatives to X? If so, could you share your experiences? I'm thinking of trying them out myself, and would appreciate any and all information on this subject.
The bottleneck is graphics drivers, not the windowing system. You can try out wayland by using weston (details on the wiki), but very few applications are compatible with it yet. No idea about MicroWinX.
Mobo: MSI X299 TOMAHAWK ARCTIC // Processor: Intel Core i7-7820X 3.6GHz // GFX: nVidia GeForce GTX 970 // RAM: 32GB (4x 8GB) Corsair DDR4 (@ 3000MHz) // Storage: 1x 3TB HDD, 5x 1TB HDD, 2x 120GB SSD, 1x 275GB M2 SSD
Making lemonade from lemons since 2015.
Have you looked into which graphics drivers you are using, are you using the proprietary or open source versions? Are you turning off compositing functions?
Yes X Windows leaves a lot to be desired but I don't think that is the culprit in this case.
Hi, thanks for the suggestions - I'm actually using the legacy fglrx support for my ATI HD3200 chipset (it's a laptop), along with a 64-bit AMD kernel compiled with -mnative. I plan to try Wayland - I'll let you know how that goes.

From the tests that I have conducted X doesn't hold back Linux graphics performance at all. Every OpenGL benchmark was just as fast on Linux as on Windows 7 with the latest driver. With Serious Sam 3 Linux it even seemed a tiny bit faster (5%) than Windows.
The culprit in your case seems to be AMD. They are known to have not so great Linux drivers.

Mmm... thank you for that. I'll take that information into account for my next desktop system.

Horse owners can protect their animals in the case of an emergency or a disease outbreak with Premises Identification Program (PID). As of January 1, 2009 premises identification became law as part of the Animal Health Act. If you have horses (or any of the other "Recordable Animals" as defined by the act), you must register your premises. If you become an owner of a recordable animal you must apply for a PID account and ID number within 30 days of assuming ownership of the animal, even if you board on another person's property.

Hold the red peppers
A friend told me about a disappointing meal he'd had recently, concluding with, "and the salad had red peppers in it." This friend has apparently absorbed my dining-out prejudices, down to the nit-pickiest. I hate to see red peppers in salad. "The last refuge of the salad scoundrel," I always call them.
It's not that I dislike red bell peppers when they are on their own — roasted, sauteed, pureed (with eggplant) into avjar, the great Serbian pepper-eggplant sauce. But their distinctive flavor marries badly with most other salad ingredients, and the chef's intent in deploying them is invariably "to add color."
To which I respond, "Why?"
A green salad is perfect in its greenness like a golf course, a shamrock, a hedgerow. It needs red pepper the way the Mona Lisa needs a red balloon.

With the weather warming up, I thought it would be a good time to write about our lovely local beaches - especially as 2 of them have just won blue flag awards (http://www.blueflag.org/Menu/
Criteria) for the cleanest beaches in England - Littlehampton and West Wittering!
People often stop off at the hotel when going to or coming from these beaches - sit in the garden and enjoy morning coffee, afternoon tea, a light lunch or even supper!
I used to go to Littlehampton beach a lot when my daughter was little and spend hours with her collecting shells from the beautiful sandy beach, with the tide there going out a long way exposing a mile of sand...
Home to superb sandy beaches, a bustling marina, harbor and stunning contemporary architecture, Littlehampton on the Sussex coast is both the perfect place to enjoy a fun family day out.
This seaside town's attractions include the famously unusual East Beach Café and the UK's longest bench, as well as West Beach Local Nature Reserve – a site of Special Scientific Interest. For those seeking activity -enjoy sailing and fishing on the River Arun.
|West Sussex Beaches
Many of Littlehampton's annual events take place on the seafront or around the harbour including the annual Waterfront Festival, Carnival and spectacular Bonfire and Fireworks event.
Down a pretty windy road from Littlehampton you come to Climping - a little secret really!
Down a pretty windy road from Littlehampton you come to Climping - a little secret really!
Climping beach, as with many along the south coast, has pebbles at high tide. But at low tide, a huge expanse of fabulous sand is exposed, making it an ideal spot for a family day out. The Beach is a quieter area of coastline than its neighbours of Littlehampton and Bognor Regis and much of the area is now designated to scientific interest.
A great place to base a coastal walk; you have pebble and grass banks at high tide, and compact sand to walk along at low tide. Walking to the East you have the dune eco-system whilst to the West you are backed by countryside and the many private beach estates (Elmer, Middleton-on-sea, Felpham) that line this stretch of Coast.
These also include the beautiful non-commercialised beaches of East and West Wittering, internationally recognised for their wild natural beauty and wildlife.With a wonderful stretch of open countryside , West Wittering is a favorite destination for a family day out, whether you chose to swim in the sandy tidal pools on the beach or relax away from the sand on the extensive areas of mown grass close to the beach which are perfect for picnics, barbeque's and games. The area is also famous among wind and and kite surfers thanks to the unique winds, tides and vast stretches of sandy beach!
|West Wittering Beach
The seaside village of East Wittering is slightly bigger than its neighbour Braklesham, but they both share a magical location on the seafront of Braklesham Bay...
In fact, there are so many things to do, you'll definitely want to stay for longer! Why not book this year's holiday or short break - stay at The Chequers Hotel and use it as a base for visiting other local attractions.
Happy exploring

Oliver Stone's career as a provocateur continues with the "South of the Border," his sympathetic portrait of Venezuelan president Hugo Chavez. The new trailer for the documentary dropped today. Ugh.
"This is a positive portrayal of a man who Americans do not have access to," Stone said recently, while promoting the film in Caracas. "He is demonized in the American and European press as a monster."
These are all true statements, but they miss the more important fact that Chavez espouses the ideology of Lenin, one of those worst man-beasts of the 20th century.
U.S. & World
He kicks stations off the air for not running his messages; seizes control of foreign-owned businesses; called for a ban on Halloween, calling it "a game of terror"; called Playstation "poison"; and has a team of 200 managing his twitter account.
This is the point where Stone might point to the horrible, murderous things the U.S. has signed off on throughout Latin America -- often in the name of bananas.
When people like Pat Robertson call for his assassination, some people are tempted to think maybe the guy's made the right enemies. But that's an overcorrection. Chavez is a thug, and Stone is a clown for thinking otherwise.

Martin Odersky, the developer of Scala, was recently in the Bay Area to kick off his new company, Typesafe. He sat down with Dr. Dobb's Editor-in-Chief Andrew Binstock to discuss the language, its beauty and its warts, and where it is headed.
Scala Today
DDJ: There are lots of languages coming to the JVM (JRuby, Fantom, Clojure, Gosu, and so forth). How is Scala different and how will it escape being a niche language?
MO: How will Scala compare to the other languages? First, there's a big divide between statically typed (which typically goes along with a fast runtime) and dynamic typed (which typically goes along with being a little slower). Scala is one of the few statically typed languages on the JVM. The other big one, of course, is Java. It's true that there are some other statically typed languages coming out and we'll have to see what kind of traction they get. Scala, however, was the first statically typed alternative. The other big thing for Scala is that it combines the OO model of Java with functional programming. And it's the only language to do so. The other functional language on the JVM is Clojure, but Clojure sheds the OO model.
DDJ: Sheds it completely, yes.
MO: And Scala doesn't do that. We think that the biggest gains are in the combination of the OO model and the functional model. That's what we firmly believe is the future.
DDJ: Do you expect then that the Scala model will mostly consist of the hybrid model or is part of the effort to encourage people to adopt a mostly functional programming model?
MO: I would contest that it's a hybrid model. I think it's really a fusion. It's not a mixture of two things; a new kind of program, which are both objects and functions. The one thing that you tend to give up more and more is objects with mutable state. That's sort of the old, classical kind of object model, which you can still do in Scala. But it's true that the trend moves more and more away from that to the purely functional. Once you do that, there's no mixture at all between the two models.
DDJ: On the Scala website, you list the qualities of code associated with increasing expertise in Scala. It seems to get more functional as one becomes more expert.
MO: Of course, that's true: Because at these levels of expertise, we took as a baseline somebody coming from Java, so with imperative code and mutability "that's what I know." It's true that to become functional, for an individual to get deeper into Scala, most people would start off with the more imperative side and then progress towards the more functional side. Imperative and object oriented are two different things.
DDJ: Are there niches where you're seeing Scala being strongly adopted? Like Erlang with telephone switches: Are there areas that are a particularly good fit?
MO: There are two market segments where Scala is leading relative to the others and one is Internet companies; in particular, Internet companies that need to scale rapidly. Examples are Twitter, LinkedIn, Foursquare, and many others. The other big market is in finance. They are more discreet; I can't talk about much. But there are some very high profile projects. For example, at UBS, it's approved for general production usage there. There are many other projects in risk analysis, contract modeling, etc.
DDJ: Is the scalability you're referring to due to the built-in actor syntax?
MO: The actor syntax is actually not built in. It's a consequence of the fact that Scala has very high abstractions for syntax. It's a pure library. So, it's actually not built in.
DDJ: OK, so...
MO: It's actually much more than that. Scala is built on a very fast runtime, the JVM. Being functional, Scala sheds a lot of the liabilities of imperative code, which becomes very, very serious as you go parallel. If you want to go parallel, either implictly with the parallel collections or explicitly with actors, anything that has state change becomes an increasing liability for reliability and sometimes even performance. So essentially, it's the functional genes of Scala, coupled with the fast runtime that makes it a very good contender.
DDJ: It seems that any functional language running on the JVM could probably attain the same kind of scalability you're referring to. Would you disagree with that?
MO: I would disagree with that. Because if you look at the actual code out there, like the collections that have become parallel in Scala 2.9 and will be distributed in one of the next iterations or the actors, they are really extremely expressive and they make essential use of the object-oriented features in Scala. Without those object-oriented features, we could not have built these sophisticated ways to express parallelism.
DDJ: Talking about the syntax of the language, when I look at Scala code, I feel like I'm reading backwards. The return value is at the end of the declaration, and the types are declared after the variable names. Was that an intentional design to move away from Java and C-like syntax? Why did you choose to invert the positioning?
MO: We're not the first to do that. There are many other languages that do that: Pascal, Modula, Ada, and lately, Go. There's a whole language family that does it the Scala way. It's true, though, that the dominant languages C/C++/Java put the type first. I think that was a very good decision at the time C was created actually, C got it from Algol 68, as far as I know to put the type first. In the early days, the types were very short keywords like
int, or
long, or
float. Essentially, for the price of one, you got two things: the start of a new definition, and what's the type of the thing.
Nowadays, things have changed a lot. First, a lot of our types have become a lot bigger. We have a type, which is a hash map of strings to a list of booleans [holding out his hands wide apart], and then comes the thing you define at the very end. The type of the thing you define should be the important thing. The second thing is that, quite often, this type (whether long or not) can be inferred, which means it goes away completely. A lot of Scala code is that way.
DDJ: Yes.
MO: Then you have to invert things. When the type is gone, you have to put something in its place. So, we decided to do a very regular syntax, which says that we always have a keyword first, which says what kind of definition we define: Is it a method? a mutable value? Is it a variable? Then comes the name, then comes the type. So that's why we went that way.
DDJ: So, it wasn't just a personal preference.
MO: Oh, no, no.
DDJ: What about the use of capital letters on the primitive types? Why is
Int not just
int? I'm curious because there are several other languages based on the JVM that don't pass through…
MO: On the first iterations of Scala, we did write lower-case
int. At some point, it stopped looking right and we converted to the initial upper case. It's mainly in Scala that the primitive types are actually not primitives. They're object types, so it didn't seem to make sense to give them the syntax of other types. We wanted to emphasize that they're types like any other object.

Game 122: Los Angeles at Toronto
One thing that is not settled going into next season is the Blue Jays' closer role. B.J. Ryan is gone — though his $10 million 2010 salary is still on the books — and the team is not 100 percent convinced Scott Downs will be the full-time replacement.
Asked if Downs would be defined as "the closer" going into next spring, this is what manager Cito Gaston had to say:
"Probably not. We'll just wait and see. To say, 'Who's your closer?' and to try to see which one does a better job in Spring Training is a little tough to do."
By that last statement, Gaston meant that it's difficult to simulate a ninth-inning situation in the spring, when most big leaguers have bailed long before the final frame. It stands to reason that Downs and Jason Frasor, who both are eligible to become free agents after 2010, will be the leading candidates for the role next year.
Downs has been great over the past few years as Toronto's main setup man, but his performance as the closer this year — after Ryan was stripped of the role in April before being released on July — has been shaky. Part of the reason for Downs' struggles, a main reason actually, is he has been dealing off and on with a left foot injury.
Gaston does not believe the injury, and the lack of save chances, have really given Downs an opportunity to show if he is the right person for the closer job.
"Downs did great as a setup man," Gaston said. "But he hasn't really had the opportunity to show us that [he should be the closer] one way or the other — not much. He's had a couple of times out there that didn't work out, but as far as really showing us that he's the guy, he hasn't had the opportunity because he's been hurt."
Downs, who is coming off a three-outing Minor League rehab stint with Class A Dunedin, was scheduled to rejoin the Jays on Sunday, according to Gaston. The manager said that Downs would "probably" be activated from the 15-day disabled list on Monday, but he might not move directly into the stopper role — currently held by Frasor.
"We'll see how it goes," Gaston said. "If he got here tomorrow and I said, 'We're going to stick him in the closer's spot right away,' I'm not sure if that's fair to him, either. We'll see who's hitting. We'll see what numbers we've got on guys and see if it's a possibility for him to do that."

I'd bet that's the last time Scioscia walks Wells intentionally to get to Ruiz. Lol
I'm having trouble remembering the last time a Blue Jay made a team sorry they intentionally walked a batter. Certainly felt good to have Ruiz clear the bases. Haven't been too many "feel good" moments from the 4-9 hitters this year.
Our two call ups are doing well.
Randy Ruiz (11 games): .310/.370/.548
Travis Snider (6 games): .333/.455/.667
Funny how close these numbers are to their AAA numbers:
Randy Ruiz (114 games): .320/.392/.584
Travis Snider (48 games): .337/.431/.663
For ones who didn't watch the game today, take a look at Ruiz's double video which is posted on the front page. You will notice the pitch he hit down the right field line was a low inside pitch which almost jammed him.
For ones that have never tried to hit a baseball, that is a damn difficult to do, and requires excellent bat control, something I never though Ruiz had because of how long his swing is.
Ruiz put an inside out swing on it so clearly, his plan was to drive it to right field all along. Anyone want to hazard a guess as to how long it's been since we had a power hitter with that level of bat control. Only Jay hitters I can ever remember was Paul Molitor and Robbie Alomar, but neither had Ruiz's raw power.
Now if we could get Randy to teach Wells how to do that, we'd be fine.
I didn't watch the game today (didn't know which channel it was on) but I took a look at gameday during 5 th or 6th inning
and I was surprised that the pitcher threw fastballs to both Ruiz and Snider, both of which hit the ball hard.
Both fastballs were in good location, for Snider it was down an away, located perfect at the corner, and Snider managed to hit that out of the park.
I dont know how close it was but that is tremoundous power. This year I have only seen Adam Lind do that and maybe Hill did it once or twice.
and with Ruiz, you gotta give it to him, to lay off of that pitch he hit for the double, because the only way to drive an inside pitch to right field is to wait a split second more for it and then hit the pitch when it is over the plate (usually you hit the pitch infront of the plate and so gotta give it to Ruiz to hold up on that pitch and drive it to the opposite side)
Eric Bruntlett of the Phillies ended the game yesterday with an unassisted triple play and became only the second player in major league history to get the final 3 outs on his own..
A video of this play is found here:
Eric Bruntlett also booted the two plays before that, which should have been made to end the game:P
I am sure the coaches didn't forget that.

Also found in: Dictionary, Thesaurus, Legal, Wikipedia.
Become applicable or exercisable. A term mainly used on the context of employee stock ownership or option programs. Employees might be given equity in a firm but they must stay with the firm for a number of years before they are entitled to the full equity. This is a vesting provision. It provides incentive for the employee to perform.
The process by which an employee with a qualified retirement plan and/or stock option becomes entitled to the benefits of ownership, even if he/she no longer works at the company providing the retirement plan or stock option. Vesting occurs after an employee has worked at the company for a certain number of years; once vesting occurs, the benefits of the plan or stock option cannot be revoked.
To give immediate rights in property, even if possession or enjoyment will be delayed until later.The question of when property rights vest is critical to future interests, taxation, and creditors' rights.

Rally Software's new Portfolio Management (PM) product has been released this week with a direct emphasis placed upon its Agile development suitability. Rally Portfolio Manager features coaching services designed for development leaders to optimize their work beyond the sprint and release level.
This new product launch comes in response to what Rally says is a central challenge for Agile, i.e. now the business must more rapidly and more frequently determine where to allocate development resources to steer the portfolio in the most profitable direction — and development teams must align with the larger strategic plan.
"Rally Portfolio Manager serves as the single system of record for distributing real-time, strategic decision-making information to both business and development leaders," said Rally's VP of Products, Todd Olson. "It enables an iterative, flexible, and pragmatic approach to assembling an organization's portfolio and investing in the highest return projects."
"Both the PMO and development teams want to succeed. Development organizations may balk at what they perceive as needless administrative overhead, but there are ways to create information that meets both sides' needs," Forrester Research, Inc. wrote in the report "The PMO In An Agile World: Can't We All Just Get Along?," August 3, 2011. "Organizations should consider adopting application development management tools or Agile project management tools to enable developers to work in their familiar environment while still delivering necessary data for PMO status reporting."
Rally Portfolio Manager aims to provide full traceability from the portfolio level to the development task level. PMOs and business leaders can assess the impact of redirecting development resources to address new competitive threats or market opportunities, and collaboratively decide the best course of action. Rally Portfolio Manager aggregates development status above the team and user story levels to track progress in a form that is useful for the business. PMOs and business leaders can answer questions about active and completed projects, budget, and foreseeable delays.
