Kenny Leon has stood outside New York's Cort Theatre on West 48th Street for the past week and a half as the nightly crowds have wrapped themselves around the block, queuing up to see previews of the revival of August Wilson's "Fences." Leon, director of the production starring Denzel Washington and Viola Davis, says he has been amazed and awed.
Several times, strangers from back home in Atlanta have jumped out of line to introduce themselves and express their support. "That's just been very rewarding to me," said Leon, directing for the fourth time on Broadway.
"Fences" previews have been a hot ticket, with strong advance ticket sales. "I've been in New York a lot, and to walk around, to go see other plays and to hear your play be the talk of the town, it's just incredible," he said in a Friday interview during which he set the stage for tonight's opening.
Q: You're about to give your cast your final director's notes before critics see the play. What are you going to tell them?
A: It's just going to be just how proud I am of what we set out to do, and that we're accomplishing it every night. And that it's a historic tribute to August Wilson and also all the people, the spirits, that have lived 1957 [the year the play is set] and on. It's a special group; there's not one weak person in the cast.
Q: How is Denzel Washington in the lead role of Troy Maxson, the former Negro League baseball player who winds up working on the back of a Pittsburgh garbage truck?
A: All I can say is that I think that he's one of the most incredible stage actors ever. Notice that I didn't say "film."
He is very commanding, and it's a very beautiful performance. People come and they expect to see some sort of star turn, and what they get is a full portrait of a man they don't know. And they think, wow, Denzel is standing in front of me and he's just transformed himself into this other person.
Our relationship has been great. It's been a real, real true collaboration. To see the magic every night and to know that I had a hand in just a little bit of it is amazing.
Q: It sounds like you and the cast are ready for the reviewers.
A: The thing is, the people are already demanding all the seats, and on top of that they leave here every night saying, "Wow, I've got to tell my friends." So the critics can't really hurt it in that sense. But it's like, I think I'm ready for them to talk about the work, because the work is incredible. We're ready for them. I hope they're ready for us.
Q: You had said before you left Atlanta that even Denzel and Viola were going to have to do push-ups in rehearsals, your punishment for ringing cellphones and other misdeeds. Have you done that?
A: We're a true ensemble. We do push-ups together. We've also eaten our meals together. Many times, Denzel would order food and we'd all eat together.
We've also added to my push-ups thing, because we have two little girls playing the role of Raynell [Troy's illegitimate child]. We made a vow if that if any of us use profanity in the presence of these young people, we'd have to do 10 push-ups as well. So we've been doing a lot of push-ups, because my mouth has gotten away from me a couple of times.
Q: Will you be feeling any pressure tonight?
A: I'm in a great place. I'm always positively nervous, because if I wasn't nervous, I wouldn't feel comfortable or right. I think the work is done, the work is on that stage every night. People are meeting it halfway and going away like they've received a tremendous gift.
Q: And when you get "Fences" open, it's back to Atlanta to help your True Colors Theatre Company open Wilson's "Jitney" on May 5. When do you get to take five?
A: I'll be there on the fourth and fifth, and after we open "Jitney," I'm going get some rest … somewhere.

Edgerton, Missouri isn't known for much. A small, quiet town located in the corner of Platte County, we are easily overlooked unless you are passing through….accidently. You may have heard of Harmer's Café, which we are delighted to have back in business after a short hiatus. You may have heard of the Union Mill Opry, which we are sad to say is no longer running after many years of providing many people with great entertainment. But probably the most popular draw to our quaint little neck of the woods is Pioneer Days.

We took out the peas because we don't like them but this was a great staple. Really good for leftover ham. Makes a nice change
Tortellini with Ham, Peas, and Tomato Cream Sauce
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 1/2 cups canned crushed tomatoes (from one 28-ounce can)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon fresh-ground black pepper
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 pound cheese tortellini
- 1/4 pound ham, cut into 1/4-inch dice
- 3/4 cup frozen petite peas, defrosted
- 1. In a large stainless-steel frying pan, melt the butter over moderately low heat. Add the onion; cook, stirring occasionally, until starting to soften, about 3 minutes. Stir in the tomatoes with their juice, the salt, and the pepper. Simmer for 10 minutes. Add the cream and cook for 1 minute longer.
- 2. Meanwhile, in a large pot of boiling, salted water, cook the tortellini until just done, about 4 minutes for fresh, 12 minutes for frozen. Drain the pasta and add it to the pan with the sauce. Stir in the ham and peas and cook until warmed through, about 2 minutes.
- Variations : · Substitute 1/4 pound sliced prosciutto, cut into thin strips, for the ham. : · Stir in 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, cut into thin strips, with the ham and peas.
- Wine Recommendation: A light, fruity, and very crisp Italian red will cut the sauce's creaminess and refresh the palate. Valpolicella is a perfect choice. For a treat, bypass the well-known commercial brands and seek out a Valpolicella Classico from a small estate.

Rosh Hashana: The Holy Temple in Time and Space
Dear Friends,
In an amazing insight, Rabbi Wolfson brings that Rosh Hashana and Beit HaMikdash (the Holy Temple) have the same gematria, or numerical equivalent (861). This means that they share the same spiritual DNA — one in the dimension of time, the other in the dimension of space. In this week's talk we delve deeply into the connections.

Becoming You
By dsacks On · Add Comment · In Creation, Elul, Rosh Hashana (New Year), Success
There is a fascinating dialectic contained within Rosh Hashana. On one hand, it's the beginning of the new year. And yet Rosh Hashana actually occurs in the seventh month, (Nissan, commemorating the Exodus from Egypt, is the first month — see Exodus 12:2.) This means that Rosh Hashana actually falls out in the middle of the year!
There is a deep secret contained in this. People reach the middle of their lives and think that meaningful change is impossible. Therefore, the Almighty put Rosh Hashana in the middle of the year to teach us that it's never too late to begin again.
In the most obvious sense, Rosh Hashana is all about making God our king, for whom we have awesome respect and commit to following His instructions.
But there's an even more primary step. The Kotzker Rebbe once observed that Read more…
The Beginning of All Beginnings – Rosh Hashanah
By dsacks On · Add Comment · In Nitzavim, Rosh Hashana (New Year), Vayeilech
Dear Friends,
If the world is literally made out of the fabric of beginnings and every moment is a new beginning — then what increased significance does Rosh Hashanah have? The answer is that it is the beginning of all beginnings. In this week's talk, we discuss how we can use this awesome opportunity to shape our year. We also discuss the upper Garden of Eden, and the path we all travel together.

Relationship Advice
Dear Friends,
What is your most emotionally satisfying relationship? You and your family? You and your friends? You and your iPad? What about you and G-d? For many people thinking about G-d in these terms seems strange. And yet framing our relationship in this way is the secret to enlightenment. In this week's talk, we learn great relationship advice from the Sages, and see how it applies to us and our Maker, too!

Project Elul – Newness and Forgiveness
By dsacks On · Add Comment · In Belief, Creation, Elul, Rosh Hashana (New Year)
Dear Friends,
The question is, not are we going to make mistakes, but what is our response once we've made them? In this week's talk, we explore the duel nature of the month of Elul. It is both a month of newness (when the world was created) and a month of fixing mistakes. We look into the interconnectedness of these ideas, and give practical guidance for preparing to receive blessing for the coming year.

Rosh Hashana, The Zohar, Rashi and You
Dear Friends,
The Zohar looks at the Spiritual Dynamics of Rosh Hashana and likens it to the epic drama of Yaakov disguising himself as Esav in order to get the Blessing from Yitzhak. That in itself is fascinating, but when we fold in Rashi's understanding of the event and see how it all applies to us in a practical way as we prepare for Rosh Hashana, there is even more to think about. Highlights include an understanding of our innate goodness and advice for dealing with feelings of guilt.
Thanks to all for listening, for your beautiful emails, and may you be inscribed for a sweet and beautiful year!

Sea Monsters and Gemstones

Dear Friends,
Imagine an epic battle between Sea Monsters and a diver out to recover a precious gem. In a piece of Aggadata – the deeply encrypted transmissions of the Talmud – such a tale is related. What does it mean and how does it teach us to wage life's battles better? Using the understanding of the Malbim we take a look in.

Lottery Tickets and Elul
Dear Friends,
Imagine you buy a lottery ticket, never check to see if it won, and then never think about that lottery ticket again. Now imagine that ticket was a winner and was worth thirty million dollars. The question is, did you lose thirty million dollars or not? On the one hand, you most certainly did. But on the other hand, if you never knew you ever had it to begin with, you never had it to lose! In this week's talk we discuss the spiritual dimensions to this question and explore the bottom line of life.

Achieving Simplicity
In explaining what goes on in these talks to someone at work, I surprised myself by saying that it's a little like "couples therapy" between us and G-d. Toward that end, this week's talk has lots of ideas relating to relating to G-d, especially in light of the New Year fast approaching. Eventually, we build to the idea of the importance of simplifying our lives so that we can better focus on what really matters.

Elul – Keeping the Love Alive
We've entered the month of Elul which means that the new year with all it's decrees and judgements are around the corner! It's both exciting and a little scary, but Hashem is good so we don't have to be afraid! Hashem gives us Elul, this last month of the year, to finish on a strong note. How do we do it? Well, that's a big subject, but we begin the discussion in this week's talk with a look at the importance of appreciating the present moment and also a look at false prophets.

The Wisdom in the Hebrew Alphabet
From the very first Kabbalistic work, through the Talmud, through an impressive array of rabbinic literature, great minds have found the Aleph-Beis to be a gold mine of wisdom and guidance. This fascinating best-seller weaves these golden threads into a glorious tapestry, presenting hundreds of ideas and comments on the Aleph-Beis, including: the Aleph-Beis as the force of Creation, as a primer for Jewish living, and as a fountainhead of Torah insight and mystical meaning. The product of decades of learning, thinking, and teaching by the revered educator, lecturer, and community activist Rabbi Michael L. Munk. A treat not to be missed.

Steve Jobs may be dead but he never stops fascinating me. This video shows the start of NeXT and some of the behind the scenes meetings and brainstorming. I've worked in a startup, I've been to meetings like this, but not with such a strong style of leadership and guidance. You can learn a lot from studying a master, and this is Jobs doing what he did best. Inspire, lead and make it happen!
A behind-the-scenes look at how The Omni Group builds apps - The Next Web
I love these guys and the work that they do. Seems an awesome place to work!
This makes me happy. What ever else Apple and NeXT may have done or not, they have always tried very hard to make technology more beautiful. And that is a good thing.
He was a friend of mine
He was a friend of mine
He was a friend of mine
His death it had no purpose
No reason, or rhyme
He was a friend of mine
He was in Palo Alto
He was in Palo Alto
His body it was broken
He could not carry on
He died in Palo Alto
He never knew my name
He never knew my name
Though I never met him
I knew him just the same
Oh, he was a friend of mine
Leader of my Apple, for such a pressious time
He was a friend of mine
- Traditional with additional lyrics by Jim McGuinn and Tobias Vemmenby
In memory of Steve Jobs 1955-2011

Do you think your email list is a cash cow?
Do you believe if you get enough people on your list the money will just roll in?
Are you convinced a certain template will magically convert droves of subscribers?
The harsh reality is that you can't paint by the numbers and hope to get a Picasso. You might get a nice picture of dogs playing cards, but is that really what you want? If profiting from email was really that simple wouldn't we all be rich?
This post is part of the June Word Carnival. The topic is The Care and Feeding of Your Email List. Click the link to get a variety of perspectives from an amazing group of small business experts.
Would you buy a finance book from this person? Listen to her advice on pricing? Ask her to help with your cash flow issues?
If your answer was "Heck Yeah!" you've just made it past my velvet rope. Here's your VIP pass and welcome drink.
Think you don't need a velvet rope? Reflect for a minute on any well attended, high dollar event. There's always a VIP entrance. If you really want to get into the event and desire the full experience you'll pay for that VIP Pass. If the event was only a passing fancy you may wait in line, or you may just leave.
Embracing your quirks creates a profitable velvet rope. It intrigues and attracts people who desire your products and services. And they're willing to pay.
Wondering who this is in the picture? Keep reading to find out.
If you've ever eaten at McD's (I blush to admit I love their fries), you know they'll ask if you want to super size your meal. Wouldn't it be cool if you could go into the Small Biz Store and super size your profits?
While it may seem counter intuitive at first, paying someone else to do certain things can actually improve your bottom line. The trick is to know when and what to outsource.
Now our villainous Number Muncher would love for you to think all outsourcing is bad, or convince you to to outsource the wrong things. Luckily I'm on to his villainous plot, and with the help of a few friends, will help you outwit his dastardly designs.
As a kid I loved watching the TV show Land of the Lost. What could be more interesting than the adventures of a regular family trying to survive in the age of dinosaurs while fighting off Sleestaks (what were they anyway, aliens?). Being a series you knew they'd never find a time machine, but it was fun watching them try.
In business it can be easy to feel like this family, desperate to avoid getting eaten by a T-Rex (your big competitors) while wishing that a time machine really did exist to add more hours to your day.
Fear not, I'm here to help you Escape from the Land of Lost Business Owners!
Everyone knows the story of Romeo and Juliet. Everyone also knows it ended in tragedy.

Immigration Detention
The Issue
When an undocumented immigrant is apprehended by immigration authorities, he or she is typically held in a detention facility before being deported. The explosion of the detained population is costing taxpayers billions of dollars. Nonviolent immigration violators are warehoused in facilities built to hold dangerous criminals, even though there are alternatives to detention programs that are less expensive and more appropriate for non-violent offenders. The disparate network of contract jails and private prison facilities used by Immigration and Customs Enforcement is difficult to manage, and there are frequent reports of abuse of immigrant detainees. Such abuse includes lack of adequate health care and even negligence that has led to a number of deaths in detention.
ICE has launched a series of reforms of the immigration detention system, but continuing problems has prompted a rash of legislation. The real problem, however, is that hundreds of thousands of immigrants who have committed no crimes, and who have been working in the U.S. for years are being arrested, detained, and deported. Instead of jailing these immigrants at great expense, we should reap the benefits and the tax revenue that would accrue if we allowed them to work legally. Some members of Congress, however, feel that the only problem with the immigration detention system is that it is not big enough, and these members of Congress are more than willing to spend ever greater sums of taxpayer dollars for more detention space.

Hey guys! I'm Tom from Ohio. I hunt private land in both Ohio and Michigan. Have killed a few nice bucks over the years, so I'm confident that I can contribute to the team. Have already hung a few stands, and have multiple cameras out. Planting a food plot for hunting the winter months in a couple of weeks. I shoot a DXT and love it. My buddy and I built an elevated stand on his barn to practice from, which really helps us determine proper angles for tree stand hunting. Had some of my most exciting moments, though, hunting from a ground blind last year. Had a brute come into a decoy last November, but light was fading fast, and I couldn't see my pins. Oh well, that's hunting!

There is no limit for discussing about car. A good car is not only defined by the price. The expensive car will turn into nothing when you cannot really make use of it at maximum. It will be another stressful driving experience when you get hit accidentally. The repair cost can be as hefty as buying another new car. This reason has made any expensive car owner simply use the car for the show only. The other point that set the car value is related with the technology applied on the car. Certain technology application may give improved driving comfort on any bumpy road. You may not get the name, but such improvement is another sign that your money run for something useful.
If you bring stuff more often than anyone, the truck can be the answer. The truck model may vary. But each will have different technology application worth to consider. For this reason, you will find Stevens Transport only recommended limited type of truck to support the business. There will be common reasons that will appear in selecting the truck. The first is the fuel efficiency. The second is the ergonomic comfort. The third is the technology. For extra audio taste for your ride, you can learn from www.stevenstransport.com. You will find that listening music during the drive really set a real quality with the right top speaker applied.
Once you get more frequent driving time, you will need to pay more for the fuel spending. The idea for less fuel consumption on car actually has been started long ago. There are many ideas that arise to replace the common fuel with something else. That sounds promising. But the thing is not the entire proposal quite possible to be real. Stevens Transport will let you to learn the reason why alcohol is impossible to replace gasoline. The economic consequences and the chemical compound are the main problem that appears in using alcohol as gasoline replacement.

Pb Elemental's PC-1 House
Pb Elemental's newest house project in Queen Anne (remember the last one we blogged about?) took us a second to get our minds wrapped around it: the walls in the main living space are made almost completely out of translucent polycarbonate sheets, allowing light to come through in large quantity without sacrificing privacy (interior pics after the jump).
The use of the polycarbonate sheets prompted us to really think about the function of windows in our homes — prospect, or the view; light, air circulation and temperature regulation. Most of us rely on the humble window to perform of all of these functions, but PC-1 addresses the thought that perhaps the window is overworked. Unobstructed views of the outside are free to be placed solely where the view is best, without being yoked to the other needs.
However, all the changes in the light due to the weather would soak this house, and those of us familiar with Seattle know that sometimes that grey light, while light nonetheless, can be a bit depressing. We imagine being in this house on one of those days would be like sitting inside of a storm cloud.

not crazy about the materials and I feel bad for the neighbors next door that have to now look at a concrete tower next to them, no more sunlight for them.
What I love about this is the way the light comes in without a concern for the view or need for windowcoverings...
...but I believe the R-Value of these panels is fairly low - which isn't great for colder climates.
"PC-1 addresses the thought that perhaps the window is overworked."
Speaking of overworked. The owners have a concrete wall that overshadows their neighbors house. If I lived next door to that thing, I'd buy a paint ball gun and practice often.
So how does air circulation work? You can't open these walls, right? And what about scratching?
So, I've actually been in this house. The large concrete wall is about to be surrounded by fast growing bamboo to give the neighbors something "green" at which to gaze. (Which is certainly better than the rotting, rat infested monstrosity that was previously on this lot.)
The "windows" have lights built in at their base with the ability to control the "color" of the light, taking away that gloomy grey feeling when necessary.
Also, the house catches rain water and stores it for watering the lawn, etc.
It's a pretty awesome place.

Time to dust off the old uniforms and patches and start putting everything back together.
Guys (and Gals), please read, and re-blog. Post this on your facebook. Forward it to your local politician (I have already reached out to Sen. Scott Brown about this). Help bring national attention to this terrible situation faced by one of our nations heroes.
Former U.S. Marine Jon Hammar is in a Matamoros prison in Mexico, charged with bringing an antique shotgun into Mexico.
MEXICO CITY — As a U.S. Marine, Jon Hammar endured nightmarish tension patrolling the war-ravaged streets of Iraq's Fallujah. When he came home, the brutality of war still pinging around his brain, mental peace proved elusive.
Surfing provided the only respite.
"The only time Hammar is not losing his mind is when he's on the water," said a fellow Marine veteran, Ian McDonough.
Hammar and McDonough devised a plan: They'd buy a used motor home, load on the surfboards and drive from the Miami area toCosta Rica to find "someplace to be left alone, someplace far off the grid," McDonough said.
They made it to only the Mexican border. Hammar is in a Matamoros prison, where he spends much of his time chained to a bed and facing death threats from gangsters. He's off the grid, for sure, in walking distance of the U.S. border. But it's more of a black hole than a place to heal a troubled soul.
Sign the petition here to help raise awareness, and to force our political leaders to address this situation.
The Marine Corps prides itself on "No man left behind." It's time for our Government to try and live up to the Marine Corps standard.
(edit: I'm signature #1,075)
This Veterans Day, I ask that you don't thank me. I've been thanked for things that I'm not entirely sure I should be thanked for. I'm a citizen now. What I've done in my past is just that, past. I ask that you take $5 and donate it to a charity. Aside from that the only way I can say that you can really thank us is to join us.
Apparently Ted Turner believes that members of the US Military committing suicide is a "good" thing:
In an interview with CNN host Piers Morgan last week, Media mogul and CNN founder Ted Turner said the fact that there have been more suicides than combat deaths in the Army this year is not "shocking," but "good."
Highlighted first by Breitbart.com, the Oct. 19 interview has Turner speculating that "it's time to put war and conflict behind us and move on," and the rising rate of self-inflicted troop deaths is good because it brings attention to that view.
Don't think I ever posted this, but this was an IED we found and blew in place one day while on patrol.
So one night, while on the VSP, I decided I needed to take a shit.
I didn't really decide this, my gastrointestinal tract did, but the point remains. I put my legs into motion and walked to the shitters.
This is the scene I walked into.
Needless to say I no longer needed, or wanted, to shit. Ever.
(Yes, that is one camel spider, approximately the size of my hand, eating another camel spider)
I love this so, so much. TAKE THAT, MILSO'S!!!
Single soldiers are usually young, handsome and athletic. No wonder they so easily turn a girl's head. However, here are 43 reasons I think you should not marry a military man. You will never make a bigger mistake in your life. You must use your head as well as your heart.
One year ago today the world lost an amazing man, and am amazing warrior.
RIP SSG Michael Hosey.
KIA - Shahid e-Hasas, Uruzgan, Afghanistan - 17 SEPT 2011
"Greater love hath no man than to lay down his life for a friend"
KABUL, Afghanistan — It was once President Barack Obama's "war of necessity." Now, it's America's forgotten war.
The Afghan conflict generates barely a whisper on the U.S. presidential campaign trail. It's not a hot topic at the office water cooler or in the halls of Congress — even though more than 80,000 American troops are still fighting here and dying at a rate of one a day.
I've never made it through the entirety of "Restrepo." I just can't do it.
Tonight will be no different.
Yet another reason I'm happy I separated from the military.
7 weeks over the summer for Guard and Reserve units? The demand this government, and senior officials are putting on its troops is becoming overbearing to the point of ridiculousness.

Over the past 24 hours, my dreams have become incredibly vivid and increasingly strange.
Thursday, November 8 — Morning
It was about 15 years in the future. My boyfriend (husband?), my sister, and I were riding in a gold minivan with my sister's 2.5 children. By "2.5 children", I mean we all acted as if there were three children present but I only ever saw or interacted with two.
We were heading to a Target Greatland store that, in real life, closed in 2008. My boyfriend was driving and my sister was riding shotgun, so I sat in the back with my niece, who was about four. I told her we were going to go buy her some My Little Ponies, but this prospect genuinely seemed to excite me more than it excited her.
It was Christmastime, so parking was scarce. My boyfriend squeezed into a tight space, but even with the van's sliding doors there wasn't room to get out. The tight squeeze somehow unsettled me enough that I woke up.

More than 150 competitors representing 19 martial arts schools from Wyoming, South Dakota and Montana attended the 17th-annual taekwondo championships hosted by Lone Wolf Taekwondo. Participants took part competing against each other in forms, Olympic-style sparring and board breaking.
The championships were held March 20 in Cabre Gymnasium on the campus of Northwest College.
Divisions were broken up based on age, gender, size and experience. Competitors ranged from 6 to 55 years of age.
The sparring competition was regulated by the World Taekwondo Federation and followed the Olympic-style sparring rules for engagement. All competitors were required to wear safety equipment to eliminate injures while competing.
During the halftime celebration, tournament director Chris Ivanoff awarded special plaques to Doug and Lisa Siggins of Powell for outstanding contribution, Brice Cady from the Billings Martial Arts Academy for his work as outstanding official, Bonnie Martinell from Bridger, Mont., for outstanding instructor and Albert Vigil, of Worland, for outstanding martial arts school.
Ivanoff also expressed his deep appreciation for the parents, competitors and instructors for their commitment and asstance in making the tournament a success.
"This community has bent over backwards to support taekwondo over the past five years and this year was no exception," Ivanoff said.
Ivanoff and Lone Wolf students provided an enthusiastic demonstration of skills consisting of board breaking, flying kicks, controlled kicking, punching and blocking techniques choreographed to music.
"This is the finest martial art demonstrations I have seen in many years," Ivanoff said. "The students worked extremely hard prior to the tournament and showed their talent."
An estimated 500 spectators packed Cabre Gymnasium during the day to witness the events. Competition among the black and red belts provided some of the day's biggest excitement as they showcased their sparring and board-breaking skills.
"This was a day of perfect harmony in one building," Ivanoff said. "Each competitor learned a further understanding of self-repect and humility. This tournament is about gaining new friends from other martial art schools as much as it is a competition."

Message from the President
|John (Jack) N. Furlong PE
President 2012-2013
Welcome to the Texas Section-ASCE! As a technical organization we have much to offer our members in the way of career advancement, professional development and leadership opportunities. There are also plenty of opportunities for members to connect and learn from each other's knowledge and experience: we hold two conferences each year in the spring and fall, and there are also Branch meetings and Student Chapter meetings usually once a month.
The Texas Section is rich in history and tradition and in 2013 we celebrate our Centennial year! We have many special events planned throughout the year, so be sure to check our Centennial page regularly for updates. Our two main events are the conferences to be held in our two founding cities: Corpus Christi (March 19-23, 2013) and Dallas (September 11-14, 2013). These conferences are going to provide excellent technical sessions, student activities and networking opportunities so I encourage you to attend!
The Texas Section Fall 2012 Conference just wrapped up and it was a great success. We had nearly 700 participants attend from 34 countries; over 170 papers were presented and 13 continuing professional development seminars delivered. Unique to this conference was the partnership between the Texas Section and two ASCE institutes: the Construction Institute, and the International Committee on Sustainable Design, Engineering and Construction. ASCE President-elect Randall S. Over PE attended our conference and had the following to say:
"Thanks so much for the hospitality offered at the Texas Section Fall meeting. I truly had a very enjoyable and productive visit. I thought it was absolutely well organized and executed - and a real benefit to our ASCE members. You are to be especially commended for the collaboration with the Construction Institute and ICSDEC. That's truly what we hope is the model going forward - finding and collaborating with groups internal and external to ASCE that benefit our members (and future members)."
The Texas Section released the 2012 Report Card for Texas' Infrastructure at a press conference during the Fall 2012 Conference in Fort Worth, and it received good media coverage. The Report Card found that most of the infrastructure category grades had not significantly improved since the previous update in 2008, resulting in an overall grade of "C". Texas critically needs to invest in its roads, bridges, airports, dams, and water/wastewater facilities to keep Texas competitive and remain one of the largest and fastest growing economies in the U.S.
The Strategic Plan for the Texas Section has been implemented for the last year and half. We will be reviewing this document over the next several months to determine if we are on track to accomplish all the goals we set out to do! This is a living document meant to guide the Section and help track our efforts.
If you are not already a member of the Texas Section-ASCE, I invite you to join. If you have any questions or ideas about what makes the Section tick please share those with me at firstname.lastname@example.com. I will be glad to help!
During the holiday season, please drive carefully, stay safe, and see the great transportation system we have created in Texas! We have a lot to be thankful for.
The Texas Section has come a long way since its inception in 1913, and we have much to look forward to in the next 100 years. Thank you for being there with us.

Anyone with any experience treating pts with concussions? Two teenagers two months from concussion undergoing vestibular rehab but still not doing well. I have seem some information on lower dose HBO. I realize insurance may not pay, but parents are desperate.
The clinical trials that are on-going right now are looking at post-concussion treatment with 60 mins of 100% O2 at 1.5 ATA. I believe they are doing 5 sessions/week for 40 sessions. Here's a link to the clinical trial: http://clinicaltrials.gov/show/NCT01105962. The preliminary data is impressive.
We have treated a few patients with post concussion symptoms and have had some good results. Unfortunately, insurance does not cover this indication.

The Jones County Junior College women's soccer team downed Pearl River Community College 2-0 in Ellisville on Tuesday night, capped a 12-0-1 season, with their only tie coming on the road against the previously number one ranked team in the country. The Bobcats finished unbeaten at 8-0 in South Division play.
After a scoreless first half, the Bobcats' Temple Hughs scored in the 71st minute, and Kesley Cochran followed suit with a goal of her own less than two minutes later to double the home team's lead. Aundrea Borchardt preserved the shutout by deflecting the Wildcats' six shots on goal.
JCJC finished as the South Division champions, and will travel to Poplarville for the state tournament, which will begin with Itawamba at 3:00 pm. The men will take on North Division champion Holmes at 1:00 pm.
While the women in Ellisville celebrated a division title, so too did the men who reside down Interstate 59. After a 3-1 win over the Bobcats, Pearl River Community College finished with a 11-1 overall record, and a 8-0 mark in league play.
The Wildcats controlled the pace in the early goings Tuesday night, and struck first when Austin Douglas clocked one to the lower corner of the net to give PRCC a 1-nill lead. Mike Allizzo scored later in the first half on a penalty kick that sailed over the JCJC defense, brilliantly curved left, past the goal keep and into the corner that upped his team's advantage by one.
JaMarcus Ducksworth cut the Wildcats' lead in half just before halftime, but it wasn't enough. JCJC finished their season 5-7-1, and finished second in South Division play with a 4-3-1 record.

Living with Less:
A 665 Square-Foot Cabin (for 5!)
In the wake of the economic crisis, Carmella and her family decided to take stock of their lives, to live simply, to live smaller, and to live better. They moved to Wyoming, embraced the fresh scenery, and planned a 665-square foot cabin perfectly suited for their small-living dreams.
Planning such a small home to suit the needs of five people wasn't easy, but all the thought and love that the family poured into it meant that they had a chance to truly evaluate their priorities. In Carmella's words,
Our jewel-box dwelling began coaching us in simplicity, even as a sketch on graph paper. It gently guided us in tailoring our possessions to include only the dearest-held and the most-loved. There would be a place for the old oak rocker that my husband remembers as a boy in the bunk house of his family's Montana ranch; there would be a nook for a writing desk (because there surely would be writing); there would be a drafting table in the loft for the boy who cartoons, and a place for an electric guitar and amp for the boy who plays; there would be shelf space for collections, a hook for grandfather's hat.
When I recently found Carmella's blog, I was so impressed, not only by their amazing story, but also by just how well thought-out and how spacious the cabin seemed. Even though it's less than 700 square feet, it seems light, bright, comfortable, and open.
For more lovely photos of the completed cabin, some "before" shots, and more of the family's inspiring story, visit Assortment.

So many I know are struggling with this very issue right now - when the system abandons you, utterly, sometimes the best thing is to make your own system (or how do you prepare for the almost certain moment when it does?) What a wonderful home and what a thoughtful way to approach a new beginning.
the house is beautiful.
On a trip to Alaska, I met an elderly woman who had grown up in a rural homestead. Her whole family lived in a one room cabin with the beds up a ladder in a loft. I asked her if they all wanted to throttle each other about mid-winter. She said no, that the winter was their fun time and that the kids had homemade cross country skis and snow shoes and would stay outside as much as possible. It was the summer that was rough, with long work-filled days for everyone. Fishing, berry picking, gardening, canning, trying to put enough food away to last them through the winter. Winter was a relief.
This cabin makes me think along those same lines. Winter must be a time for lots of outdoor sports so that you don't end up getting on each others nerves.
I can't wait for the update that shows the upper area where the boys stay! I have extended family that don't understand how I can think a 2-bedroom ~1000 sq ft place could ever be big enough for a family of 4 (2 kids is all I plan on having), so showing them how a family of 5 make it work in a little over 650 would be wonderful!
I like this on their "About Us' Page - For us, financial security was no longer linked to the size of the portfolio or the potential of real estate holdings; financial security now meant zero debt and a job well loved. Home security meant building a 665 square foot portable guest cabin, placing it on rented land, and living there while saving our cash to buy land and build a house. Life security meant adjusting parameters to ensure more time for passions, and less for obligations.
Money and things mean nothing if you are miserable and lose sight while trying to keep up with everyone else.
Hello, Everyone! Such kind and gracious words you've posted here! Thank you for reading about us and for visiting the blog. A big thank you to Carolyn for writing this great piece, and to the editors of Apartment Therapy for publishing it. If our story can be an inspiration to even one, we are grateful!
Carmella, would you be able to share the manufacturer of your home? We are looking for exactly this, but have been underwhelmed by many of the floor plans available for a home this size.
Hello carriejeaux. I am currently working on a site-built version of the blueprints for our home. I'm hoping to have them available this summer. Stay tuned!
This was one of my favorites in the Smallest Coolest contest. It's so thoughtful and gracious, clean without being a slave to MCM, and a good exercise in textured whites.

Anonymous said: The manga Hakushaku to Yousei is not completed, there are still chapters coming out in japan, so are you still going to translate them or not?
We would, if there are Chinese raws available as we don't have any raw providers from Japan. :_;
Anonymous said: How many volumes have the HakuYou manga? Thanks for the answer! :)
There's only four volumes in total for the manga (completed and scanlated), the anime has one season, and the light novels 10 or more, I think - only in Japanese, but some blogs translate them :)
My first attempt at coloring a black and white manga page!
This is Red.Scarlet.Dots' final release, I've Fallen In Love With Your Love Song!
Go and check it out in our Projects page :)
Anonymous said: This is probably a question you received before but could you please explain to me what happened with HTY? I understand the mangaka only did up to Vol.4 for the manga, but what about the light novels? Are the light novels not the same story or by the same mangaka? Thank you for all your awesome scans! :)
The light novels are there but are only in Japanese >,<
We don't have any Japanese translators so it is not possible to translate them; however there are other blogs where they post the translations for the light novels although it may get confusing as they don't 'completely' translate it…
Hakushaku to Yousei manga is based on these light novels, and the mangaka, Ayuko simply follows the author's story (Mizue Tani). There is also an anime adaption for it which goes deeper than the manga, although I don't think a Season Two for it will come out.
Hope that answers your question XD

There was some last minute drama that arose concerning Felix Hernandez and his massive contract offer from the Seattle Mariners, but the drama proved to be false. Hernandez and the Mariners cleared up any issues they had over an elbow concern and both sides have officially finalized a deal that will keep th former Cy Young winner in Seattle for the next seven years.
"I think it's a great thing for the Seattle Mariners," Seattle general manager Jack Zduriencik said. "It's a great thing for Felix Hernandez, and looking forward to this guy being here for a very long time, obviously."
A new conference is scheduled for Wednesday afternoon at which the deal will be officially announced. Hernandez will be getting a $175 million contract which is the largest in baseball although exact details within the contract have not yet been released.
The two sides seemed to have agreed upon the deal last week but a lingering elbow issue in Hernandez's pitching arm caused some major concern over the last few days. There were rumors that the deal was going to be blown up due to the injury concern, but general manager Jack Zduriencik remained adamant that Hernandez and the Mariners were going to finalize the deal they had agreed upon.
While not all the details of the new deal are known, we do know that Hernandez's new deal absorbs the finals two years of his current contract, which are worth roughly $40 million combined. King Felix will then get an additional $134 million meaning his total dollars are more than CC Sabathia's record $161 million contract with the Yankees and his $25 million average salary is more than Zack Greinke is getting in his deal with the Los Angeles Dodgers.
To put into perspective how inflated contracts have become for top pitching targets on the market, less than a decade ago Barry Zito received a then-record deal from the San Francisco Giants which was worth $126 million which is roughly $50 million less than what Hernandez is set to make.
The Mariners are paying a hefty price to keep Hernandez in Seattle, but if he continues to perform the way he's been performing in recent years, it will end up being money very well spent.

Google may not be the first out of the gate with a cloud music service, but given the exposure Google has in the smartphone, it's probably best positioned to have the biggest impact on mobile data network. According to some initial reviews, Google Music Beta lacks a lot of the features and glitz of Amazon's cloud music platform�an actual music store, for instance�but all of the key components for a mobile-network taxing service are there (PCMag: Hands on with Google Music Beta). Google can load a user's entire music library up into the ether, where you can stream it to any number of devices, including Android smartphones.
If operators are still looking for a good reason to move to usage-based mobile data plans, this is a good one. A streamed song consumes nowhere near the bandwidth of a decent-quality streamed video, but the potential for use of streamed music is far greater. Customers don't actually have to be looking at their phones to enjoy audio. Bluetooth in vehicles has triggered a big increase in music streaming through the phone to car stereos as customers tap into Internet radio services like Pandora. Cisco Systems Visual Networking Index predicts that audio streaming will be a big driver of mobile data traffic growth, increasing at a rate of 107% a year (CP: Mobile data demand by the numbers)
These kinds of music redistribution services are still far from mainstream, but the fact that Google, Amazon and Microsoft are all launching cloud media services (Apple is rumored to be working on an iTunes-driven cloud service of its own) indicates that the cloud could be the next big thing in digital media. It also has the potential to finally fulfill the industry's old prophecy that the phone could become a focal point of a consumer's digital music collection. Lack of interest in carrier music stores, digital copyright issues and clunky side-loading models all impaired the phone from becoming a stand-in for the portable digital music player�pretty much with the sole exception of the iPhone (Unfiltered: Can Sprint�or any other operator�make a business out of mobile music). But a service that can seamlessly deliver a consumer's entire music library on the PC or home media server over the air to handsets overcomes all those issues.
If everyone starts streaming their music from the cloud, the impact on operators 3G and future mobile broadband networks would be huge, but it's definitely more manageable than video. A Netflix movie could drain a smartphone or broadband data plan's monthly data allotment in a matter of hours. Music is a lot more bandwidth friendly and probably wouldn't lead to the worst bill shock scenarios we've heard so much about. Google is also including some more network-friendly features to the service. Customers can 'pin' songs to the phone, keeping them stored in memory so the network isn't forced to stream the song every time it comes up in a playlist. Music Beta also automatically pins a customer's most-played songs automatically, further sparing the network. So even if you won't admit Journey is your favorite band, Google knows and will automatically save those tracks to your phone's memory. Any customer on a 1 gig plan probably is in little danger of driving up $100 overages.
Operators definitely have an opportunity here to drive customers to higher tier plans if they sing the virtues of mobile music. But if they're smart, they could also move further up the value chain beyond bit pipe access. Not everyone who wants to listen to digital music necessarily wants to be a premium data services provider, paying $25-$30 or more month just to access their music collection. An operator could start selling music data plans to smartphone and feature phone customers that meters normal data consumption, but gives unlimited access to cloud and Internet-based music services like Amazon's, Google's and Pandora's�say $15 for 100 MB of data and free reign over mobile music.
There will probably be a preference among the mobile operators to partner with a specific cloud music provider for such a service, but that would be a mistake. But they really need to move beyond this idea of providing a music service to the concept of enabling other's music services. The carrier music store didn't work. The carrier music service powered by Google won't work either.

Election 2012
Never mind the Super PACs: A new must-read investigative report in The Nation reveals how Big Business is buying the election with secret money.
Super PAC's fundraising losing momentum, latest reports show
Closing in on the upcoming party conventions, super PACs appear to have lost some of their steam in attracting the big bucks. The big guns of political ad spending took in $30 million during July, reports filed this week with the Federal Election Commission show. That's $25 million less than the previous month. In all, super PACs have raised $343 million since Jan.1, 2011, the beginning of this campaign cycle.
The top donors include names now familiar as repeat super PAC underwriters, along with a few newbies. Among the eight donors who write seven-figure checks last month are three corporate donors and one left leaning nonprofit.
Top Funded Super PACs
Congressional rookies following the ways of Washington
In 2010, voters were so determined to upset the Washington establishment that they elected a House of Representatives in which 20 percent of the faces were new. It was a political revolution. But nearly two years later, the 89 rookies elected in November, 2010—80 Republicans and nine Democrats—don't look all that different from their more veteran colleagues.
It wasn't long after they arrived in Washington in January 2011 before some of the newbies began mimicking their seniors in hitting the party trail, holding fundraisers to cover their 2010 campaign debts. Since then these corporate special interests and businesses registered to lobby have doubled down on their campaign donation to the first-year House members.
Two Dark Money Groups Outspending All Super PACs Combined
Two conservative nonprofits, Crossroads GPS and Americans for Prosperity, have poured almost $60 million into TV ads to influence the presidential race so far, outgunning all super PACs put together, new spending estimates show.
The True Identity Behind SuperPACs
Our second infographic in the Capital in the Capitol series explains why Super PACs are super powerful this presidential election, and tells you who really holds that power—26 individuals.
Some of their names have appeared here and there in the news, but their collective identities tell a more impressive tale. What do all of these people have in common? While a large pocket of Romney supporters seem to be financial tycoons, and another subset of Obama supporters are Hollywood elite, altogether what unites these folks is their wealth—and the shared belief that it can win an election.

Head-to-Head Voting Comparison
Head-to-head voting comparison between representatives in Congress.
Lawmakers, Executive Branch officials honored for about $19 million last year
Companies, associations and the lobbyists employed by them contributed almost $19 million to charities in honor of federal officials last year, the vast majority of it for members of Congress, according to a new report I wrote over on the Reporting Group blog. The report parsed messy disclosures that all lobbying entities have to file every six months ever since 2008, when a law aimed at shining a light on lobbyist influence in Washington came into effect.
