We have learned over the past 2 months that Jordan Spieth is human.
What a relief.
His 18th place finish at the Byron Nelson, followed by his final round defeat at the Masters have the media asking what is wrong with him. Speculation centers around what the media calls his "collapse" at Augusta, creating emotional fragility that has led to his less than stellar play of late. Can we just give the kid a break?
Why is it that we demand our up-and-coming athletes be "the next _______" (Tiger, Michael, Emmitt Smith, you fill in the blank). Perhaps our desire to elevate people to hero status, or proclaim them as "the greatest" is due in part to the dichotomy that exists in our post-modern culture that minimizes the thought of God, yet desperately seeks someone to worship.
Why can't we just enjoy the performances and appreciate the athletic gifting? I mean, do we really want or need another Tiger Woods?
From all appearances, Spieth is a good human being, who respects people, is kind and generous, gracious to the media, and loves his family. A model to be admired? Yes. A talent to be appreciated? Absolutely. A player to root for? Of course. An idol to be worshiped? Even Spieth would say he is uncomfortable with that.
He's 22 for crying out loud. Maybe we can be satisfied with watching him play for the next 15 years and just enjoy the ride.

If you are still not sure whether you are going to head to the polls today, please do, because I am so jealous of the fact that you get to vote today.
I've lived in the US for more than 7 years, this place is home for me. I'm a Permanent Resident, I pay taxes like everyone else, I pay into Social Security and Medicare, I have a candidate that I support, but I don't get to go and vote for the people that will run this country.
This was my choice. I chose to move here and I chose to do everything by the book, but I hate that I don't get a say.
So if you've voted, thank you! Thank you for speaking up and being a part of the electoral process. If you're thinking of skipping it, please don't, because you are lucky to have the ability to speak.
I'll be watching and waiting anxiously to see what you have all decided.

Need for Automatic Programming
Programming hasn't changed in 30 years.          -- J. C. Browne
A programmer costs $1/minute, produces 8-16 lines of code per day: $30 - $60 per line of code.
Computer-driven programming: Express the program in terms of what the
computer can do directly.
x[i] = y[i] * b
Problem-driven programming: Express what we want:
Sort(s) = &forall s &exist r : Permutation(s, r) &and Sorted(r)
Domain-driven programming: Express the problem in terms of domain concepts, rather than computer or CS concepts.

Mark Reed Levin – King of the Conservative frontier.
Category Archives: Gubernatorialigation
I am a crook… you are the liar
Because of my gubernatorial freedom pursued in a conservative manner, the right-winged political troubleshooters are in desperate need of offending the Senate's toughest crooks across this land of mine. To this intent, as I see it, liberalism is futile. Futility is the single weapon in the war against liberalism as I blog what is going on in the Nation's Capitol – make that Washington, D.C.
You are the liar. I'm the crook who tackles the toughest conservative values in the frigging country.
Capitalism, racism, sexism – these are just some of the words ending with the suffix –ism when Congress calls. Guess which delegate is here to answer. The liberals will lose public policy this year to the conservative power players rallying over the issues affecting my world and theirs. I am rhetorically built around the topics more than any other blog comedian in recent memory. To me, however, billions of cash could be needed to fund future common-sense gubernatorial and libertarian projects, having each Congressional Republican leader's say over the issues affecting them as well. Today, conservatism; tomorrow, the Democrats who fight for the right. To preserve power to the 50th power, Congress is facing confrontation in a rally of equals.
If I am a crook, every conservative pundit will become liars.
President Obama and Vice President Biden defend the issues all other lawmakers miss. To the contrary, I'll carry my .50 caliber semi-electric conservative stun gun and attack the liberal inaction caused by blue-state reform defense detectives (just kidding!).
I am the crook… you are the liar.
To me, conservatism is real. For the Republicans, every issue is about to defend in Senatorial glory as the liberal and progressive lawmakers will speak out over the deficits attacking the conservatives in 2014. The truce concerning conservatism and how Obama, Biden and their aides will rally with the legislators during the decades that follow their decision-making strategies.
Observe conservative freedom.
More conservative wisdom:
Better Know the Mayor
We all believe in conservative and liberal gubernatorial warfare – but, above all, who is about to change the face of government these days, huh? But, as I find out who – the mayor of Washington County – is ready for change in reform.
Nonetheless, there ought to be some conservative thinking in Washington County that is in Washington, D.C.
Even www.thewrap.com's entertainment law blog, Hollywood, D.C. – a portmanteau of Hollywood, California and Washington, D.C. – gives politicians and the media and entertainment industries a voice in the creative community and on Capitol Hill.
Enough said.
Screw Minnesota Senate Majority Leader Al Franken.
To me, as I put it in blogging, Washington County needs a more simplified voice in the legislature: the mayor.
He is the most powerful conservative gubernatorial figure in power politics, and the embodiment of all other Congressional figures ever known to man day in and day out
– defending every area of the government realm. To embody the creation of political hardship and confrontation, mayoral figures representing the 50 states that make up the North American region are rallying and speaking out on difficult issues one delegate at at time. The mayors of certain cities throughout America listen to what the Congressionally-minded conservatives speak out on the vital issues facing each other's nation – and what these mayoral delegates debate over the countless hot-button topics affecting all red state and blue state lawmakers young and old who are fighting for the right-wing middle class.
In The Weekly Standard Magazine, aimed primarily at the conservative-minded male audience – conservatism is the father of all political parties, Republican and Democratic, and how the free enterprise system is rallied in perpetuity.
Mayors all just like that. Really.
Matt Drudge, whose name is derived from a slang term meaning "someone involved in drudgery," is the embodiment of gubernatorial conspiracy. Drudge is the founder and editor of the Drudge Report – which focuses primarily on political and social journalism on the World Wide Web. Radically engaging and absolutely thought provoking, Drudge provides the common scoop on political warfare from a blogger's perspective.
Every mayor rallies against the liberal enemies facing pressure from conservative upsets. Thus the mayor will defend all areas of government on a day-by-day track record; and he is free to intervene with all of the other members of the House of Congress as he confronts over the most common modern-day issues facing the Presidential aides and the liberal, progressive and conservative pundits vying for gubernatorial rallying in the Nation's Capitol.

Beck Announces Song Reader Show With Jarvis Cocker, Jack Black, Van Dyke Parks, John C. Reilly
Beck also designs eyeglasses for Warby Parker
Beck has planned another installment of the Song Reader shows he did earlier this year in London and Santa Cruz, featuring performances of songs from his 2012 sheet-music collection. Like the London date, this one will feature a guest performance from Jarvis Cocker, along with a new lineup that includes Jack Black, Van Dyke Parks, Jenny Lewis, Childish Gambino, John C. Reilly, Moses Sumney, and more, per Rolling Stone. It'll happen on November 24 at the Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles. Beck's father, the composer and arranger David Campbell, will serve as conductor.
As Rolling Stone reports, the show is being presented in partnership with eyeglasses company Warby Parker. Beck has designed a pair of frames, called Carmichael, which will be available via the Warby Parker website later this month. The limited edition specs will come in "Root Beer" and "Crystal" colors.
Oh, and Beck's got a new album out in February.

ATLANTA, Oct. 11, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- WestRock Company (NYSE: WRK), a leading provider of differentiated paper and packaging solutions, today provided an initial update following the landfall of Hurricane Michael and its impact on the company's containerboard and pulp mill located in Panama City, Florida.
As always, our first priority is the safety of our employees and their families. The Panama City area has been devastated by this hurricane, and we are working to support our employees and this community as the recovery begins.
An orderly shut-down process was started on Monday. The mill was in the direct path of the hurricane's landfall, and it sustained a substantial amount of damage to buildings and equipment.
Our team is currently assessing the extent of the damage to the mill. At this time, we do not know when the mill will resume operations; this will depend upon the extent of the damage to our facility and the storm's impact on local infrastructure, including available power supply, the ability of our employees to travel to the mill, and other factors.
The mill has annual production capacity of 353,000 tons of linerboard and 292,000 tons of market pulp.
The continued storm path is projected to traverse several states in which we have additional operations and the potential impact, if any, on these operations is unknown at this time.
We will provide additional updates as more information is available, and we have fully assessed the impact to our employees, local infrastructure and the mill.

By repeating his Sandwich Islands lecture widely in California and Nevada he provided himself with means to travel, and revisited his home, returning by way of Panama and New York. In May, 1867, he published his first book, The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County, and Other Sketches, and lectured in Cooper Institute. Then on 8 June he sailed on the Quaker City for a five months' excursion through the Mediterranean to the Holy Land, first reported in letters to The Alta-California and the New York Tribune, and immortalized by his book Innocents Abroad. On 2 February, 1870, he married his most sympathetic reader and severest censor, Olivia Langdon of Elmira, New York, a sister of one of the Quaker City pilgrims who had shown him her photograph in the Bay of Smyrna. After a brief unprofitable attempt to edit a newspaper in Buffalo, he moved in 1871 to Hartford, Connecticut, and in 1874 built there the home in which he lived for the next seventeen years.
He formed a close association with his neighbour Charles Dudley Warner[1]; was taken under the editorial wing of William Dean Howells[2] and into his intimate friendship; contributed to The Atlantic Monthly, Harper's Magazine, and The North American Review; and ultimately made some progress with such festive New Englanders as O. W. Holmes,[3] F. J. Child,[4]and T. B. Aldrich[5]; but his head was white before he became as much of a lion in Boston and New York as he had been in Carson City and San Francisco. At various times he made extended sojourns in England, Italy, France, Germany, and Austria, particularly in his later years in seasons of pecuniary retrenchment. He reaped a fortune by contracting for the publication of Grant's Memoirs and his royalties were steadily large; but bad ventures in his publishing business, his some what lavish style of living, and his unperfected type-setting machine, in which he sank $200,000, pushed him finally into bankruptcy. He had extended his reputation in 1873 by lecturing for two months in London; he made a big reading tour with G. W. Cable[6] in 1884-5; and in 1895, at the age of sixty,

At Michael Taylor At Home, we sell a lot of antique, vintage and fine furniture! As a dealer in older furniture, we come across a large number of full-sized beds. If you are a vintage afficionado, you will know that queen and king sized beds were not manufactured until the late 1950's. Prior to that time, the largest standard bed size was the double or "full" sized bed, thus the large number and variety of pre-1950's beds that are too small for our modern tastes.
If you prefer an antique or vintage bed, but require a queen rather than a full size, don't be discouraged! With very few exceptions, a full-sized bed frame can be extended or adjusted to accommodate a queen mattress and box springs.
How, you may ask? Every bed is slightly different, but most frames can be lengthened with the use of an extender kit and/or extended rails. A variety of these can be found on Amazon.com, or at local mattress stores. A simple search on YouTube brings up a variety of videos on how to alter a vintage bed frame to accommodate a larger mattress set. It's definitely a project that a do-it-yourself-er could tackle with ease!
This antique full-sized bed frame is in stock now…the tall headboard would be a great statement piece in a rustic country/shabby chic bedroom, wouldn't it? The natural wood of this bed is very pretty, but it would also look great with a chippy, chalk-painted treatment.
Here's another in-stock antique bed with a beautiful headboard and foot board. With an extender kit, the original side rails and slats for this bed will not be able to be used, but they could be stored in case the owner would ever want to return the bed to it's original full-sized configuration. Some people are hesitant to alter antique pieces, but we feel that unless the piece is truly a museum quality or one-of-a-kind antique…furniture is meant to be used and enjoyed in our daily life, according to our current needs. If that means changing out a pair of bed rails to accommodate a larger mattress, then do so and enjoy giving new life to a beautiful bed frame!
This poster bed by Davis Cabinet company is a gorgeous full-sized bed that would look great with traditional or country-style decor.
Here's a simpler poster bed frame, also full-sized…but would fit a queen mattress set perfectly with the addition of an extender kit/rails.
If you're looking to upgrade the look of your bedroom, or have always wanted an antique bed frame but could never figure out how to make it work…come by Michael Taylor At Home and talk to manager, Jerry, about what we've got in stock and how they might be altered to work with a queen mattress set. We have lots of options and ideas!
My best,
Michael Taylor & Company

This marks another addition to the regular feature here at little Indiana: Indiana Blogs! If you are an Indiana Blogger, please use the contact form and send me an email. You may be featured right here on little Indiana.
Wonderfully chaotic is an Indiana blog that reveals the life of this young family.
Since 2009, this personal blog has followed all along their journey: marriage, kids, homeschool, faith–and blogs it all.
Take a peek into the life of a Hoosier that is Wonderfully Chaotic.
Indiana Blogs: Wonderfully Chaotic
Why did you start Wonderfully Chaotic?
I started blogging in 2004 as a way to keep family and friends updated on my life, and then on my children. At Wonderfully Chaotic I first began blogging just about my kids and parenting.
Since then it's expanded quite a bit – I've blogged about our homeschooling journey from the very beginning, I write about marriage, faith, and a bunch of other topics. I also host giveaways and write reviews of products. Oh, and I still write about our family – a lot!
What about that name? Why Wonderfully Chaotic?
As I said, I've been blogging for awhile but in 2009 I made my permanent home at Wonderfully Chaotic. I'd been blogging some place else but didn't feel like that blog really captured what I was writing about.
My hubby and I mulled it over for awhile and eventually decided "Wonderfully Chaotic" suited our life and family pretty well.
What are three of your most favorite posts?
What keeps you ready and raring to post? Why do you blog?
I love writing and sharing my thoughts with others. I blog to do just that – connect with other moms and maybe even help them. I also like having a record of things we've been doing and good (or bad!) times we've shared.
Is there anything about homeschooling that has surprised you and your family?
The schedule homeschooling allows you to have is so family friendly – you can schedule your subjects around whatever is going on in your life at the time. When I was pregnant, we added in a weekly lesson about baby growth and development.
Any holiday gets its own unit study added to our regular schedule. And I've also noticed that the learning never seems to stop, even when we're "off the clock" so to speak. The kids are always asking questions, exploring, and wanting to know more about the things in our everyday lives.
What does a typical day look like?
It varies, depending on what we have going on but usually we start our day off slowly – we are not morning people, haha. We get some chores done & out of the way before school and eat breakfast together.
We start working on our different subjects in the living room (our homeschool nook is in there) or sometimes outside if it's nice. My oldest is going into second grade, my middle child is preschool age, and my youngest is a baby so it requires a bit of juggling sometimes and we do end up taking the occasional break for diaper changes or snacks.
We work through our subjects (Science, Math, Reading, etc.) and then have lunch. Afternoons are spent on school projects and naps. (Myself included sometimes!) Other days we spend the afternoon at the park with our homeschool co-op group or with friends. Evenings are spent doing the rest of our chores, playing, having dinner and baths.
My younger ones go to bed first and then I usually do a read-aloud book with my oldest son – we're going through the Little House on the Prairie books now. After I get all the kiddos to bed, I usually get on the computer for awhile and/or dive into a book before I collapse…I mean, go to bed.
I saw you are an avid reader: what are your five favorite books of all time?
I cheated a little since some are part of a series…oh well.
Is there anything else that you would like little Indiana readers to know about you or your blog?
Feel free to stop by my blog to say hello and leave a link to your blog – I'll come by and visit you too! Thanks for reading, and for having me here!
Life, Lived
Anyone else a huge fan of those Little House on the Prairie books? That would be a good one to read to Kid #1. Thanks to Shay for popping over to Little Indiana today.

Technopreneurship Promotion Programme (TePP) & Technology Business Incubators (TBI)
Posted in Business tagged dsir, ethicstech embedded solutions pvt ltd, start own business, start-up, tbi, technology business uncubators, technopreneursip promotion programme, tepp at 8:22 am by asprakash
I hope every body having its own dream. When I was entered into my engineering degree, I was dreaming about innovations, technologies in different areas, invention in many applications,.etc. But it was dismantled when I come to know about the industries [especially IT industries].
Think about the current situation in this recession period. Every degree holder is now like to work in IT field. But you are not interested to join as a costliest labour (?) (IT Employee) and you would like to do some inventions in your own core filed, How? (or) You have already prepared a very good unique novel product idea. But none of the ventures/companies ready to invest on your idea. Then how can you develop the prototype of your idea? Suppose, You dont have any inventions in your mind and you tired of thinking about the novel idea, job search and then finally come-up with your business plan to start-up your company, atlast. But you are from middle class family or not possible to invest huge amount at this stage. Then how you will execute your business plan or your product idea? Who will fund for you?.
Oh. Stop it. Enough to ask questions. What I want to do now?.
Ok. Surely I will tell you. Before that few words. Readers those who are already working in a company and only interested to earn money, than please close this page and do continue if you have any other work. The following paras are not for you. Rest of others please proceed.
TePP (Technopreneur Promotion Programme)
The Dept.of Scientific & Industrial Research [http://dsir.gov.in], through a public advertisement, has invited applications from budding entrepreneurs or innovators to seek funding from the government for converting their ideas into working prototypes/models. Called the Technopreneur Promotion Programme (TePP), this is for promoting individual innovators to become technology entrepreneurs (technopreneur).
The eligibility criteria for the programme are quite simple and uncomplicated. Any individual with an original idea/innovation, say- an engineer, scientist, farmer, artisan or even a housewife or a student can apply. Even companies can apply, provided their turnover does not exceed Rs. 10 lacs. The only requirement is that, the idea must have a commercial implication; it cannot be just for research or patenting purposes. The maximum amount of the sponsorship is 90% of the project cost or Rs 10 lacs, whichever is lower.
Industrial or scientific innovations in India are far more in need of funding than software startups; there is no dearth of funding for software entrepreneurs from VCs, seed funds, banks etc. Govt. programmes like STPI have mechanisms to nurture and incubate software startups. Besides, the IT industry anyway has a powerful godfather in NASSCOM, which has started influencing government policy quite significantly.The same is not true for industrial or scientific segments. A recent edition of the Business World has a lead story on how, some of the giants of Indian manufacturing like Larsen & Toubro are facing substantial exodus of their best manpower to the IT/software industry.
Procedure to apply for TePP
TePP categories
Tepp categorized different schemes with different formats for the people.
For example, if you are a student, then the category is different and the fund amount also varied. And if you are a independent person planing to start-up your own company, then you need to apply for separate category. I have given the available TePP categories below,
Phase I – Micro Technopreneur – for students – Eligible upto 75,000/-. To know more about this phase, click here. The application form available in the same page.
Phase I- Technopreneur project fund – For staffs and employees, start-up companies & independent persons – Eligible upto 15laks – Innovators should invest 10% of total project cost. To know more about this phase, click here. The application form available in the same page.
Phase II – Seamless scale-up fund – Successful completion of students from phase-1. They are eligible to get more fund to start-up their company. To know more about this phase, click here. The application form available in the same page.
Phase II – Supplementary fund – Successful completion innovators from Phase I Technopreneurs. They will provide upto 45laks this time. To know more about this phase, click here. The application form available in the same page.
Proposal preparation
You need more patient to prepare the proposal. Its not like just prepare a 5 pages of documentation. You need to prepare the following documentations to enclose along with your proposal. Its compulsory.
- Signed copy of application
- Proof of residence
- Literature survey & patent search results
- Targeted Product specification/ process performance
- A one page description of potential user, why would he/she buy this new product and how would the innovator access the user
- Documentary proof of prior work ( video, photo, test report, TUC site report, press coverage etc)
- Cost justification
- Bar chart with mile stones for project schedule and
- Technology Angels evaluation form
There is no standard format for the above documentations. But search some sample templates from google and prepare the documentations.
Where to apply
Well, its time to apply your proposal. Where & How?.
Very simple. But before that I would like to introduce about one more new term for you. That is Technology Business Incubators (TBI). TBI will take care of your TePP applications. DSIR tied-up with most TBIs available in India and they will help you how to prepare TePP proposals and get fund from DSIR. So first I will provide more info about the TBI and then continue the TePP processes.
TBI (Technology Business Incubators)
Technology Business incubator (TBI) is an entity, which helps technology start-up businesses with, all the necessary resources / support that the start-up needs to evolve and grow as a mature business. Typically, TBIs provide incubatees, the start-up businesses supported by incubator, with necessary infrastructure support, technology/ prototype development support, research assistance, help in getting funding, business consulting assistance and do whatever is necessary to make the start-up a success.
Our government selected some institutions in every state and setup this TBI with different kind of resources based on the available facilities in that college/universities . For example, we have the following TBIs available in Tamilnadu. Note : All the states are having TBIs.
- Anna University, Chennai for biotechnology field
- VIT, Vellore for IT, Biotechnology and Mechanical
- Kongu, Erode for Embedded systems and Electronics
- PSG Tech, Coimbatore for IT
- University of Madras, Chennai
- IIT-Madras, Chennai.
- Bannari Amman Institute of Technology, Coimbatore
- Periyar Technology Business Incubators, Thanjavour – for Biotechnologies
Fortunately, Tamilnadu has more TBIs. To know the list of available TBIs in other states click here.
So go through the above list. Then select the TBI which is near and suitable for you. Then immediately meet the Manager of that TBI. Discuss about your plan with him. He will provide you what are the facilities he have and what he can do for you. Please note that, even you dont like to apply for TBI but still you can approach TBI to get the TePP fund from DSIR. First they will ask you to send your draft copy of all your documentations. They will get back to you if you have any corrections in your documentations. Later you need to take the hard copy of all your documents and submit it to them (to TBI). The process will take minimum 3 months to call for an review meeting for your proposal. You need to take an presentation in-front of the DSIR committee and its your responsibility to convince them to get funded. There is no final date to submit your proposal. You can take your own time. Prepare carefully and then submit. ITS OPEN FOR ALL 365 DAYS.
Why TBI?
Because, you need space to setup your working place, need resources like machines [CNC, Lathe, biotech,.etc], hardwares, components, computers, internet,.etc to implement your prototype, need technical guidance and non-technical help like Market survey, business analysis, Ventures to invest money on your prototype,.etc. The room rent in Metro cities like Chennai & Mumbai are huge cost. So its better to utilize the TBI's space for very low cost and you can stay with them upto 3 years. After you successfully applied for TePP fund, then approach the same TBI to get resources for you. You no need to give any share for them.
Hey,..you! Are you a women entrepreneur? Oh…you are so lucky yaar!. Do not ignore the next section.
Facilities/benefits for women entrepreneurs
There are lots of extra benefits available for women entrepreneurs rather than the men entrepreneurs. For example, you got the loan from government through by the above schemes and suppose your business went in loss. Then you no need to return the full amount to them. There are some percentage of exceptions are available for womens. BUT THIS SCHEME IS NOT AVAILABLE FOR MEN ENTREPRENEUR. In Tamilnadu, Periyar Technology Business Incubators, Thanjavour encouraged women entrepreneurs and they provide first preference to them. So, Women entrepreneurs, try to utilize the available resources and create more job opportunities for womens and as well as mens. Till now I did not get any documented proof for this scheme. I discussed with some TBIs and I come to knew about it. Leave your comments if you have any links, reference,.etc.
What I can do for you?
I am also applying for this TePP through VIT TBI. The manager of VIT TBI, Mr.Balachandran provided more info reg the TePP and TBI and What are the things to be done before we start a company. Now I am preparing the draft copy of my TePP proposal and it is in the final stage. I will submit my final copy of the TePP proposal soon. I dont have any experience in getting fund from TePP project. But I can surely help you, how to prepare a proposal, other necessary documents, howto approach TBI,..etc. You can reach me by asprakash83_at_gmail_dot_com (or) you can leave your comments.

I am a product design student, final year. I want to apply for the TePP funding for one of my idea for rural healthcare. I really want to work for rural healthcare. So, if I apply for TePP would i get Rs. 75,000 only or I would get Rs. 15,00,000 (maximun). Because I doubt that Rs. 75,000 will be enough to carry out the reasearch and than get the working prototype for the concept that I have in mind and also how to write the proposal as the area chosen needs reasearch first, I have been working on it since last 2 months and have collected information from internet, reports and from people. What would you suggest? how should I go about it ?

Hi Vikas,
Appreciate your effort! My suggestion is better go with student mode, ie for Rs.75k. Usually you will get less competition in your category. So you will get more opportunity to expose yourself. Once you got this fund, you can apply for next mode at any time and if your idea will be good, then they will surely help you to get more fund. So dont worry at this stage itself. I wish you all the best for your efforts! Go ahead!..

Highest point: 1,022m
Almost a week in and finally the sprinters get a stage without many obvious complications, although the heat in Extremadura can turn even the easiest of days into a horror show. The last time the Vuelta sped into Cáceres, German galloper Erik Zabel led the field home, which should give the sprinters a little more reason to be confident. The stage starts high up at almost a thousand metres, then drops steadily down to Plasencia, just before the halfway point, for a lumpy run-in, where any escapees are likely to be chased down. Cáceres, a relatively unspoiled medieval city that is a World Heritage site, is a stunning setting for the finish, with its imposing walls and towers dotted with storks' nests.
Yvon Ledanois: "I've spoken with Philippe Gilbert about some of these stages as he prepares for the Worlds and this is one that should suit him. The sprinters' teams will want to control towards the end, but that will be tough on rolling roads where small groups can get away."

We all know or have known a "Debbie Downer". The person in the crowd that seems to suck the light out of room, who can turn a good situation into a problem and a problem into a crisis of epic proportions. So often in all the environmental talk there are extremists (Debbie Downers if you will).
We definitely need to continue to make progress in our environment to right some wrongs of the past but I take the optimist approach that we are working on it. I've witnessed a lot of positive change. Most people have recognized that we need this planet and are paying attention to our environment and things are looking up. People are asking for environmentally friendlier solutions (or demanding them) and companies are taking notice and responding.
I do have to admit that when I read this article: Pennsylvania County Dumps Solid Waste Department & Recycling Program, I was a bit upset. At risk of sounding like a Debbie Downer I feel like this is a move in the complete wrong direction. It has taken us so long to begin to understand our true impact on the environment and how the decisions that we make today effect the futures of generations to come. I can understand that townships don't want to get experimental and try new programs but I feel as though it's the obligation of government officials to at least encourage recycling as a bare minimum. Granted, I live in an area that doesn't do curbside collection (although we do have a drop off center that is opened two times a week). This puts the ball more in the court of residents. I need to have the motivation to collect my recycling and drive it to the collection center. I'm an adult and it's a task I am up to, they've made it easy by also accepting garbage on those days.
I fully understand that if recycling is costing the county money (especially in the tune of $100,000 per year) adjustments need to occur. I don't feel confident that all options were explored and I don't agree that allowing residents to trash recyclables results in positive benefits for anyone. In the long run, as I've stated so many times before, each person is responsible for their own decisions and that includes their personal environmental impact. I am hopeful that people will take note that their personal choices when it comes to our environment has consequences far larger then they can physically see. I guess all we can do is give our opinion, express the importance of taking care of our planet and hope they everyone is listening; setbacks will happen but our goals need to remain clear.

Unlocked iPhone 4S working in some T-Mobile USA's network pockets, Apple smartphone utilizes HSPA+ 1900MHz spectrum
Although T-Mobil USA wrote in the September letter to customers that they were "interested in offering all of our customers a no-compromise iPhone experience," the fact of the matter remains that the carrier's network bands are not supported on the iPhone 4S.
T-Mobile's 14.4 HSDPA (High-Speed Downlink Packet Access) GSM/UMTS network operates on the rather odd 1700/2100MHz frequency bands that are incompatible with iPhone 4S and other UMTS phones supported by standard 850/900/1900/2100MHz bands. However, some unlocked iPhone users are detecting 3G signals on parts of T-Mobile USA's network utilizing the 1900MHz bands, according to Tmonews.com:

TORONTO, ON – The Canadian Women's Hockey League (CWHL) today announced the dates and locations for its 2017 CWHL All-Star Game and 2017 Clarkson Cup Final.
For the third consecutive season, Air Canada Centre and the Toronto Maple Leafs will play host to the CWHL All-Star Game on February 11, 2017. The game will once again see the best professional female hockey players from each of the CWHL's five teams — Boston Blades, Brampton Thunder, Calgary Inferno, Les Canadiennes de Montreal and the Toronto Furies — come together to showcase their skills on Air Canada Centre ice.
The Maple Leafs, hosts of the 2014 and 2016 CWHL All-Star Games, continue their long-term commitment to the development of the women's game by opening Air Canada Centre doors so fans can experience the very best the sport has to offer. In 2016, 7,000 fans watched as Team Black and Team White, led by fan-voted captains and Olympians Julie Chu and Natalie Spooner, battled for All-Star supremacy. Team Black skated away with a 5–1 victory, led by a two-goal performance from Montreal's Marie-Philip Poulin.
The CWHL will also return to Ottawa in March 2017, when the CWHL's best two teams put the regular season behind them and compete for the Clarkson Cup on NHL ice at Canadian Tire Centre. The Cup, presented to the CWHL by former Governor General Adrienne Clarkson, is awarded to the winner of the Canadian Women's Hockey League Championship game each season. The 2016 Clarkson Cup, the first held in an NHL arena, saw more than 4,000 fans watch, as the Calgary Inferno defeated three-time Clarkson Cup champions and regular season champions Les Canadiennes de Montreal 8–3 in the championship game.
In addition to the Clarkson Cup Final, the CWHL will host its full Clarkson Cup Weekend in the Ottawa region. The weekend includes the CWHL Awards Gala (Friday March 3rd) and CWHL Community Day (Saturday March 4th), which will once again see the CWHL and its teams working in the Ottawa community to help the event leave a lasting legacy.
"The 2017 CWHL All-Star Game and Clarkson Cup represent the very pinnacle of hockey excellence for the CWHL, and show the very best of our league putting their unsurpassed skill, passion and commitment to the game on display," CWHL Commissioner Brenda Andress said. "We're thrilled to once again return to Air Canada Centre and Canadian Tire Centre for two exceptional and entertaining games of hockey, and we thank both the Toronto Maple Leafs and the Ottawa Senators for their continued support in hosting these great events."
Funds from ticket sales for both games will go back to the CWHL to support the continued growth of the game of women's professional hockey for the current and future generation of hockey heroines.
Tickets for the CWHL All-Star Game are available on Ticketmaster starting Monday, December 12, for $10 each or $5 per person when purchased in a group of 10 or more. Tickets for the Clarkson Cup Final will go on sale later this month.

Senior Housing: Information and Articles on Senior Living
Many towns and cities feature apartment complexes and condominiums designed solely for those over the age of 55. Senior housing options incorporate an excellent balance of independent senior living and a social atmosphere. Oftentimes, senior housing staff members are available to assist with daily tasks as needed, and senior housing communities typically offer a range of community activities like movies, social mixers, and outings to sports games.
Below is a collection of articles and resources created by Comfort Keepers to provide information about Senior Housing and related topics.
Comfort Keepers Canada is a leading provider of in-home care for seniors and the disabled. Our service is a great option for seniors who wish to live at home but need assistance with basic tasks; however, our Comfort Keepers do not provide Senior Housing services, as our associates visit their care recipients in their own residences.
Featured Articles on Senior Housing:

The kitchen can be a dangerous place for seniors and elders. Not only are seniors over the age of 65 more likely to be injured in a kitchen fire, they are more likely to suffer a fall injury due to: items stored out of reach—both too high and too low—and the likelihood that meals are carried to eat in another room.
Ensuring that your senior loved one remains as self-sufficient as possible, and yet safe around the house requires a delicate balance. For those caring for a person with Alzheimer's or other forms of dementia, that challenge increases ten-fold. Caregivers providing care for someone with Alzheimer's must be diligent about identifying potential dangers in the home.
More Canadians are choosing to "age in place." That is, they opt to stay in their homes rather than move to alternative retirement settings. But that often means they must modify their homes so it's not a danger to their safety and health when their physical abilities change.
As more and more older adults are choosing to age in place, the need for home modifications to accommodate physical changes in people is growing. Ideally, homes for aging adults would meet universal design standards, which make structures inherently accessible to older people and those with disabilities. Many homeowners, however, hesitate to upgrade existing homes because of the cost.

Samsung Galaxy S5 Will get Android Lollipop in December
One of the things that most concern at this time to all owners of a smartphone is to know when your particular model will be updated. Owners of a Motorola phone are calm, and quite possibly in November we can enjoy the new version of Android .
Others however are still unsure and when many of these phones were not exactly cheap. If you guys own a Galaxy S5, time to get happy because since SamMobile said the flagship Samsung Note- not counting the range could have Android 5.0 Lollipop during the month of December.
In this article we told rumors about a month ago, but according to SamMobile own, these new rumors come from a reliable source so it is almost one hundred percent in December likely to appear early S5 Lollipop running low.
If anyone wants to know how to run Android on a Galaxy S5 Lollipop few weeks ago there was a video which showed us a Galaxy S5 running Lollipop Preview. Anyway you have to keep in mind that the first Samsung Galaxy S5 should update will be free, also it will not be the same time in all regions and also those who have chosen a terminal telephone operator, update may occurs during 2015.
Still, it's good to know how brands are taking seriously the update many of its models to the latest version of Android.
Do you have a Samsung Galaxy S5? Would you like to get Lollipop Android 5.0 in December?

Tesco planning appeals halt expansion moves by supermarket rivals
Tesco Ireland Ltd has lodged two planning appeals to An Bord Pleanála in recent days against decisions by local authorities giving Aldi the go-ahead for a new store at Leixlip, Co Kildare, and Lidl for a new store in Drogheda, Co Louth.
Earlier this year Tesco successfully opposed plans at Bord Pleanála against Aldi developing a store at Ardee, Co Louth.
Figures obtained from An Bord Pleanla show that in 2015 and 2014, Tesco enjoyed mixed success when opposing the expansion of discount stores in the planning arena.
The figures show that in relation to six appeals lodged by Tesco against discount stores, it was successful on four occasions when planning was refused in Cork city, Malahide in Dublin, Bailleborough, Co Cavan, and Kildare town. The retailer's practice of opposing proposed new Aldi and Lidl stores in towns and cities where is has a presence comes against the background of rapid growth of the two German retailers in the €10bn Irish grocery market.
The latest figures from market research company Kantar Worldpanel show that their combined market share climbed to 22.3pc for the 12 weeks ended May 22nd last.
This puts the discounters' combined market share ahead of Dunnes Stores' 21.4pc and roughly equal to Tesco's 22.4pc and SuperValu's 22.7pc.
Over the past three years, Aldi and Lidl's market share has grown by 7pc at a cost to the larger players in the business.
Last year, Aldi announced the creation of 400 jobs here as it aimed to open its 129th store this year.
In its 30-page appeal against the Leixlip store, Tesco's consultants argue that the proposed development is not in keeping with the adjoining lands in the Architectural Conservation Area (ACA) "and that the proposed development should be revised as to ensure consistency with the surrounding developments".
The appeals also claims that the proposal for Leixlip's Pound Street fails to meet development standards outlined in the statutory plans and is also at odds with the surrounding developments in the area.
The plan claims that the proposal, if built, "could affect the character of Leixlip and also lead to the creation of traffic conflicts at the location".
Kildare County Council ruled that the proposal would not seriously injure the amenities of the area or of property in the vicinity and that all traffic issues associated with the development had been resolved.
In planning documents, Aldi pointed out that "overall, the building is of high quality design... and fits into its current urban design and built environment and will represent a very significant improvement of the site and surrounding area".
In relation to Lidl's Drogheda plan, Tesco in its appeal claims that the proposal is not located in a designated retail centre and as such has the potential to negatively impact on a nearby developing designated centre.
A spokeswoman for Tesco would only say yesterday: "We review all planning applications on a case by case basis."
Decisions are due to be made on the appeals in October.

With the rest of the Tour peloton dog-tired, this will be a stage where strong riders can get in a break and hang on until the end. Will Chris Horner finally score a stage win in Mâcon in the heart of the Burgundy wine region?

Artist: Karen Blixt
Album: Spin This
CD Review:
San Francisco-based jazz singer Karen Blixt has released her first album Spin This on HiFli Records. After singing in the jazz circuit for over ten years, Karens first release is smooth and crisp, professional and superbly produced. The album was recorded at Marin Countys infamous Skywalker Sound and was engineered by Leslie Ann Jones.Not only did Karen get veteran jazz/pop producer Frank Martin to come onboard, shes accompanied by many great musicians. The list is long but includes Grammy-nominated organ B-3 phenomenon Joey DeFrancesco, famed Peruvian Grammy-nominated percussionist/drummer Alex Acuña, vibes legend Buddy Montgomery, Grammy-nominated reed player Paul McCandles and Yellowjackets keyboardist Russell Ferrante, drummer Will Kennedy and bassist Brain Bromberg (On another note I had the honor of seeing Yellowjackets perform live many years ago, and I was blown away, so the fact that Karen had these gentlemen play on her record says something you know shes good!). Other musicians include Bruce Forman on guitars, Darek Oles on acoustic bass and Joe Herbert on cello.Karen co-founded her own label along with long-time college friend Lisa Thomas to release her spin on things. The album is a collection of classic jazz hits; including songs by Count Basie, Thelonius Monk and Miles Davis. I particularly liked her version of You dont know me by Eddie Arnold and Cindy Walker. She does a light hearted version of When youre smiling; here Joey DeFrancesco does a great job on vocals as well. Karen has a nice mid-range tone to her singing, strong but yet soft and relaxed.Along with these timeless covers, there are three originals co-written with Frank Martin. The title track is an anti-Bush song (I like her even more now), her other two creations, Kitchen Blue and Something so true are very well written and produced, the latter which closes off the album is a somber piano piece.Raised in upstate New York, Karen began singing at a very early age in church, where her mother played church organ, but even then she would jazz up the church hymns, she would improvise the hymnbook, much to her mothers dismay. Karen always had a knack for singing jazz. Some years ago she took a road trip to Berkeley, California and what was once thought to be a temporary visit turned into Karen establishing herself in the Bay Area jazz scene.Fast forward to present day and the result of all that hard work is Karens brilliant debut. It is worth the wait, the album is jazz in its purest form free and improvised, with a fresh take on things.Im pretty sure Karen is out somewhere in San Francisco, expanding her reach across the coast, crooning her heart out. And Im sure listeners will be spinning her latest, for a long time to come.Publicity: firstname.lastname@example.com

Gin Tailoring
The Cambridge Distillery is the world's first Gin Tailor. We produce bespoke gin blends for individuals, institutions and some of the world's leading restaurants, whether purely to suit your personal taste or to commemorate a special occasion.
All people are unique, and so too are their palates. As the world's first Gin Tailor, the Cambridge Distillery is the world leading expert in creating bespoke gins to suit individual preferences.
Our private Gin Tailoring sessions are strictly by appointment only. Either held in our distillery, or in one of our specially-selected venues across the country, you will be treated to a two-hour consultation with our Master Distiller – whose palate is used by international wine and spirits competitions to judge quality spirits across the world.
During the tailoring, you will be taken through a flight of blind tastings to determine your palate preferences and sensitivities, before having a bespoke gin recipe tailored to suit your individual tastes. Our uniquely small batch distillation process allows us to tailor your gin to your exact specification, and to produce it just one bottle at a time – or in quantities of up to 60 bottles. The price of your tailoring includes your first bottle, which will be delivered to your door in a silk-lined oak presentation box.
Due to the exclusive nature of our tailorings, spaces are strictly limited. You are welcome to bring one other person to accompany you during the tailoring (or have a joint blend designed), but we are sadly unable to accommodate groups at these sessions.
Most of our tailorings take place here in Cambridge but we also regularly visit London, Bath, Manchester and Edinburgh – please check our availability calendar to see when we'll next be visiting your city.
Due to increased demand, we are migrating to a new booking system which we hope to have live within the next couple of weeks. In the meantime, please contact us directly with your preferred arrangements and we'll take care of the rest.
We only create Tailored Gin for the finest institutions. Our Alumni include the House of Lords, British Airways Concorde Lounge, and some of the most exclusive restaurants and hotels in the world. A Cambridge Distillery Tailored Gin is the pinnacle of spirits personalisation: we can use botanicals sourced from within your own grounds, within a particular time-window, or even grown to order for your own specific recipe.
Our team of industry-leading experts, who have created our entire line of internationally acclaimed products, will assist you in perfecting your new gin – enabling you to stand head and shoulders above your competition.
No matter what your imagination can dream up – Cambridge Distillery has both the expertise and experience required to make your flavour aspirations a reality.

My father always believed in lifelong learning. He was a pretty educated guy. He received his undergrad from Brooklyn College and his masters in English from NYU by the time he was 22. He was a voracious reader and always wanted to learn more. He loved theater and even when he was in a wheelchair, he participated in the theater group that was active in the condo complex for senior. He believed learning new things kept his mind fresh. I truly think learning how to use the internet added years to his life.
I also enjoy learning new things and most of them revolved around my business because it is such a big part of my life. And as important as Beyond Times Square is, I needed to learn something that took me outside of my comfort zone. It had to be something unrelated to work or my hobbies. It had to be something brand new. So about two months ago, I took my first improv class at the People's Improve Theater. It was strange at first being with people I did not know trying to read each other. It was also somewhat intimidating because everyone in my class had acting experience and I have none, but at least we were all new to improv. The class of 12 students met every Thursday for three hours for eight weeks. Our instructor, the magnificent Pete LePage, guided us through new techniques, had us up all class doing improv exercises, and scenes (Yes And, Yes And, Yes And is drilled into your head). We did monologues for ideas, jumped into other people scenes, had to respond to questions without giving thought and had to react not analyze. I was so nervous and scared. I speak before groups of people for work but being on stage improvising was so new to me. But let me tell you, we nailed it. People laughed, we laughed, we had a ball. We were not perfect but you could see the new skills in use. It was exhilarating. Needless to say I start level 2 in September and look forward to taking my skills to the next level.
So keep learning and get outside your comfort zone. it will open a whole new world.
PS: Improv does not always translate great to video, but here is a short clip from our show.

World Security Report2017-11-21 10:23:02
L3 SDS is exhibiting November 29-30 at the UK Security Expo in London, at booth K34. The Security Expo is a global general-security showcase attracting an audience of government, transportation, intelligence, defense, and law enforcement personnel.
We will be displaying our total aviation checkpoint solution, including our ClearScan® automated explosives detection system for carry-on baggage. It is the first checkpoint CT scanner to pass the new European Civil Aviation Conference (ECAC-EU) C3 Standard under ECAC's testing program. C3 is ECAC's most comprehensive standard for cabin baggage, which allows for liquids, aerosols, and gels (LAGs) as well as all electronic devices to remain in cabin baggage. This is a great benefit to speed up the queue for both the traveling public and operations at the checkpoint. The C3 Standard overcomes the inherent problems of C2, which causes confusion and delays for both passengers and operators.
Our new, innovative handheld trace detector, the H150E, will also be demonstrated. The H150E detects and identifies explosives and narcotics in seconds. It offers the flexibility of a portable system with the outstanding detection performance previously available only in desktop systems. Like all of L3 trace detectors, it has the lowest false alarm rate in the industry. Its modern, icon-based interface provides a familiar user experience. As a non-radiation system, it is easily transported.
We'll also be demonstrating our MV3DTM hold baggage scanner. The MV3D's novel, fixed-gantry design provides both high-resolution 2D images with fully rotatable 3D images, allowing customers flexibility in their on screen resolution procedures. The system is designed to operate up to 40 degrees Celsius without an air conditioner, reducing power consumption and eliminating the need for condensate removal. The stationary gantry eliminates moving parts, delivering superior mean time between failure and system availability, to ensure low maintenance costs. In addition, the MV3D's lack of a rotating gantry virtually eliminates the vibration that many competitive EDS are prone to, making the MV3D well suited for installation on elevated platforms.
All of L3's products utilize software-based architectures that are upgradable to meet future and emerging threats. Always on the leading edge, L3 SDS solutions anticipate the most demanding customer expectations and regulatory requirements, while addressing evolving global security needs.
While not on exhibit, our passenger screener the ProVision® 2, is the flagship of the checkpoint with the largest deployment in the world. There are 2,000+ systems active on six continents today. Its recently approved risk-based algorithm-switching capability allows airport security to tailor its activities to specific flights and heightened security levels, especially for flights coming into the U.S. Our complete checkpoint solution also includes passenger boarding pass access control, automated tray return systems, and comprehensive monitoring and control systems.

Nishad Manerikar, Total Motion Towerrunners, April 2018
The Leadenhall Building in London shares some characteristics with its tall neighbours. It is one of the new steel-and-glass skyscrapers that has sprung up in the City over the past decade, has a very distinctive shape that gives it its nickname – The Cheesegrater, and it hosts a stair race! Looking at it standing amongst a cluster of tall buildings (the Gherkin is right next door), it is difficult to judge its height. But from the top, there's no mistaking it – it is by far the tallest building in the Square Mile. When you are at the top, you are looking down at the Gherkin, the Walkie Talkie and the Scalpel that has recently topped out. At 225 metres, 48 floors and almost 1300 steps, it gives us the highest stair race in the UK. Today it was home to the 'Stairs and the City' run for the charity Care International.
Race Preview
CARE International works around the globe to save lives, defeat poverty and achieve social justice. To quote, "We put women and girls in the centre because we know that we cannot overcome poverty until all people have equal rights and opportunities." True to this philosophy, this was a unique event: the charity fund-raiser was a women-only tower run, and then there was a separate wave for TWA registered athletes (male and female) later.
This was only the second time a race was run in the Cheesegrater. The first one was last year and Mark Sims (6:58) and Karima Hudson (8:50) bagged victory and the course records.
The Race
After a helter-skelter four weeks in the February-March period, there was a relative lull in the UK towerrunning calendar; today we returned to racing.
The waves started off at 10:30; almost 120 women climbed to the top. By the time the elite wave came around at 14:30, there hadn't been any surprise fast finishers.
The course record remained unbeaten.
Sims was here to defend his title and started off the elite wave, followed by most of the UK regulars. He finished in a time of 7:01, slightly slower than his record. Mark Howard proved to be the star, running the course in 6:56 to take the win and set a new course record. Howard burst onto the UK towerrunning scene last year with fast times at the Broadgate Tower Run Up (he was just a second behind Sims in the second run). He hasn't raced since apart from a fourth-place finish in Leicester earlier this year, but has been training regularly with the TMT crew. Matt Pleass from Leicester rounded off the podium, finishing on 7:34.
In the women's elite race, it was a straight fight between Sarah Frost and Sonja Shakespeare. Frost prevailed with a time of 8:03, smashing another record in the process. Frost, freshly returned from her adventure in Italy at the Valtellina Tube race, has now completed a hattrick of comprehensively broken course records – Broadgate Tower, St.George's Tower and the Cheesegrater. Shakespeare finished second with 8:28, and Chiara Cristoni bagged the final podium position in 9:18.
Full results here:
Exciting Times
These are exciting times for towerrunning in the UK, especially on the men's side. Seven UK races in 2018 have produced five different winners so far (Mark Sims, John Tullo, Elliot Slaughter, David Harris and Mark Howard), and in almost all cases the results have been close. Having these five compete in the same race is a mouth-watering prospect; we hope it will happen soon! We now have quite a few contenders for the top spot at any given race. This bodes extremely well for the sport in the UK and demonstrates an increasing depth in the field.
We Loved the Race and the Medals!
It is great to be able to race up 48 floors and nearly 1300 steps in the UK. This is significantly higher than most of the other mid-distance races in the UK which are all in the 35-42 floor range. In addition, as Matt Hudson put it, it's just a really nice stairwell! We hope this building becomes a permanent fixture on the race calendar and is able to attract overseas elites as well.
The medals for this race were all individually hand-crafted for Care International by a woman in Zimbabwe. Each one was unique, depicting a scene that reflects the charity's work, with a hand-written message at the back. Having these medals was a great touch and added to our fond memories of the event.

Two months after the accident, Theresa's trauma therapist helped her into a wheelchair and pushed her to the corner of 34th and Park to confront the pole against which she had been crushed. It wasisstill bent. A hot-dog vendor named Islam Mohammad, who has worked that corner for seven years, remembers seeing her. There's a major accident at the intersection three or four times a year, he says. He is always ready to run, as he did when he heard the tires squealing just before Theresa was hit. Dante Novoa, a doorman at 4 Park Avenue since 1980, and one of the first to call 911 for Theresa, also saw her return in a wheelchair. I was so happy, he says, because when I saw her last, I saw her dead.
Theresa's friends see a connection between her relentless pursuit of her music career and her success in rebuilding her life after the accident. She wasn't even supposed to be a candidate for a prosthetic, says Ethan. She wears one now and walks on her own. I feel like I walk like Frankenstein, she says, but in fact her gait is more like that of someone recovering from a knee or ankle injury. Ethan recounts an incident at a Greenwich Village restaurant: The waiter watched her walk in and saw she was moving a little slowly. When he brought the check, he sat down with us and told her, I'm going to do something real special for you.'
He closed his eyes and uttered what Ethan calls some weird little prayer. Then he said, Now, honey, in two weeks, your ankle will be all better.
As they watched the waiter walk away, Theresa asked, How much should we tip him?
Well, he did heal your ankle, said Ethan.
When she's onstage, her injury is far from obvious. Most in the audienceperhaps more blinded by her powerful voice than fooled by her prostheticare completely unaware of it. They see neither victim nor survivor, but a sultry lounge singer who might have stepped out of a film noir to belt out soulful renditions of classics like Burt Bacharach's Walk On By. She uses the power of her left leg to rock her hips in time with the music.
Before the accident, Theresa's reaction to the handicapped was Man, that's got to suck. She was right. It does suck, she says. Butand the buts become relevantI can still do X, Y, and Z, and it turns out that is enough to sustain meaning. Life is in extremes now. It goes from the sheer joy of bringing a bag of groceries home by myself to the absurdity of watching a jogger pass by and knowing that my right leg is cremated in a box on top of my television set.
Jonathan Carrington was charged with second-degree assault, a class-D felony. For Theresa and her friends and family, the trial registered as little more than an unwelcome distraction from the critical task of recovery. Ethan says they were not interested in revenge, in part because no one involved believed Carringtondespite his carelessnesshad meant to hurt anyone. Our focus was purely on Theresa, he says.
Theresa attended the trial only long enough to deliver her brief testimony. Yes, that was indeed her shoe on the street in a photograph displayed by Assistant District Attorney Alberto Roig. The moment struck Carrington as cruel showmanship. I couldn't believe the D.A. made her do that, he says. Dr. Cushman had already testified in graphic detail about exactly what happened to her. Theresa didn't feel great about it either, but rather a little used.
On their way out, Theresa and Ethan found themselves at the same elevator bank with Carrington and his family. When an elevator opened near Carrington, directly across the hall from Theresa, he and his family took it. As the doors were closing, he stared at us, Ethan says, his eyes wide as he recounts the offense. He had the balls to stand there and look right at us. Wouldn't you turn away? Wouldn't you lower your head? When I saw that, I went from not really caring about the outcome of the trial to thinking Fuck 'im. All I wanted to see was a little remorse. And I never once saw that.
Carrington must have known his goose was cooked, and not just because Theresa had been such a sympathetic witness. During his testimony he made the awkward argument that the NO LEFT TURN sign at 34th Street did not also prohibit leftward U-turns, and tried to deflect blame on the southbound taxi that had come bam out of nowhere and knocked him into Theresa. On direct examination, he admitted that he had been convicted of multiple felonies at the age of 18, had served seven years, and had fabricated parts of his résumé to account for the missing time and launch his successful career. On cross-examination, Roig brought out the details of his Carrington's prior convictions: At least one burglary was at knifepoint.
Despite these revelations, there was widespread surprise in both camps first at the guilty verdict, and then at the sentence. We didn't even think he was going to get convicted, Ethan says, pointing out that Carrington's blood-alcohol content registered below the threshold of legal intoxication, that the U-turn was a mere traffic violation, and that no one believes Carrington actually meant to harm Theresa. And he got the max. New York Supreme Court judge Bonnie Wittner sentenced Carrington to seven years, with no chance of release until at least April 2009.
I'm doing this interview not for my own interests, and against the advice of my attorney, solely for Ms. Sareo, Carrington told me across the visiting table at Franklin Correctional Facility, a medium-security prison near the Canadian border, where he is one year into his seven-year sentence. Also present was his close friend Linda Posluszny, who helped to arrange the visit and with whom I had traveled to the prison. In the worst-case scenario, whatever I say to you could be twisted and used against me. But in the best case, maybe it will give Ms. Sareo some understanding of who I am and some more insight into what happened, and maybe even some form of relief.
Presentable even in prison greens, and well spoken, Carrington resembles less an uneducated ex-con than a high-school English teacher. With his case under appeal, he refused to discuss the events leading up to the accident, saying only that his testimony was on record, and did not mention Gabrielle Gilpin by name, instead referring to her as his associate. Except in emotional moments, as when recalling Theresa's appearance on the stand to identify her shoe, Carrington managed to avoid speaking directly about the trial as well, but it is clear that he feels he was portrayed unfairly by the prosecution. The only two people who were telling the truth in that courtroom, he says, were myself and Ms. Sareo.
