New Al-Qaida Leader Urges Attacks On U.S.
August 15, 2011 by UPI - United Press International, Inc.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 15 (UPI) — Al-Qaida's new leader is urging followers to keep targeting the United States.
A video by Ayman al-Zawahiri surfaced Monday on a Web site that often posts al-Qaida videos, ABC News reported.
"America today is staggering," said Zawahiri. "Hunt her down wherever you may encounter her. Hunt her down to cut what is left of her corruption's tail."
In the 12-minute video, Zawahiri, who took over al-Qaida after Osama bin Laden was killed by U.S. forces in Pakistan in May, calls for "Muslim brothers everywhere" to seek vengeance against the United States.
"Pursue America, which killed the 'Imam of the Mujahedeen' and threw his body into the sea, and then captured his women and sons," Zawahiri said. "Hunt her down until history says that a murderous country spread corruption in the earth so God sent his faithful to her to make an example out of her."
It is not clear as to when the video was made, though references to bin Laden's death means it was made relatively recently.
U.S. officials had yet to comment on the video, but have warned new attacks targeting the United States are probable near the Sept. 11 anniversary of the 2001 terror attacks, particularly in the wake of bin Laden's death.

Letter of Unloved ,
money was a problem with the lover
all the time invested had become his payment
time lost.
be patient,when there's no time left and no time at all
take your time,
-it's just that there's not a lot of time to spend
be on time, be clean, be more and a little less of the who you were a time ago
be nice, be friendly
money, if only money had , some more time
my thoughts can escape me and my time can escape them
what is time-
just moments-
my money was all put together to remember, my time
OK- going insane and time has always tried to push my self over the edge,
all that's needed is a reason and two or three thoughts and the right currency to buy my time.
It was a time that can not be taken back a time that stands still in our lives the time when we were together is the time that we loved one another. I am filled with inspiration from the rancor of emotions you leave me feeling. There is no other ecstasy than the thought of your being. If one could be hurt from your memory it is only the loss of the greatest feeling one can have for someone, that debilitating electricity that stimulates an awkward pleasure.

Plus: Factory Output Climbs, Leading Economic Indicators Rise and Jobless Claims Edge Lower.
Industrial Production Rises in Q1
Although industrial production in the United States remained flat for the second month in March, it increased at an annual rate of 5.4 percent in the first quarter of 2012, according to the Federal Reserve last week. Manufacturing output fell 0.2 percent in March, but rose at a 10.4 percent annual rate for the first quarter as a whole, with major gains in most industries, including a nearly 40 percent surge in motor vehicles and parts production.
"Evidence of weakening business equipment demand amidst a still sluggish U.S. economy as well as a wide range of global growth concerns, most notably the recession in the Eurozone and the sharp slowdown in key emerging markets, suggests that the March report might herald the beginning of a period of more moderate growth for a U.S. manufacturing sector that has persistently surprised on the upside with regard to both output and employment gains," Cliff Waldman, senior economist for the Manufacturers Alliance for Productivity and Innovation (MAPI), wrote in an analysis of the Fed report.
Mining production increased 0.2 percent from February to March, but mining output fell 5.4 percent for the quarter. Month-over-month utilities output rose grew 1.5 percent in March, but declined at an annual rate of 13.8 percent in Q1, largely due to unseasonably warm weather over the first few months of the year. At 96.6 percent of its 2007 average, total industrial production for March was 3.8 percent above the level for March 2011.
"Manufacturing has been pivotal in the recovery, but production is expected to moderate along with the overall economy during the first half of the year," the Wall Street Journal notes. "Tuesday's report showed some areas of strength. Production of motor vehicles and parts held up, climbing 0.6 percent in March after a 0.8 percent gain the month before. Excluding autos, production in other areas of manufacturing was flat for the second consecutive month."
In another sign of slowing growth, the capacity utilization rate for total industry fell to 78.6 percent in March, down from 78.7 percent in February. Capacity utilization for the manufacturing sector dropped from 78 percent in February to 77.8.
Leading Economic Indicators Advance in March
The index of U.S. leading economic indicators edged up in March, marking the sixth consecutive month of growth and pointing to a more positive outlook. The Conference Board's Leading Economic Index (LEI) for the U.S. rose 0.3 percent last month following a 0.7 percent increase in February that was the biggest gain in 11 months.
March's 0.3 percent expansion was slightly better than expected, as the median forecast of economists surveyed by Bloomberg News called for a rise of 0.2 percent last month.
"Despite relatively weak data on jobs, home building and output in the past month or two, the indicators signal continued economic momentum," Ken Goldstein, a Conference Board economist, said in a statement. "We expect a gradual improvement in growth past the summer months."
The LEI is a weighted gauge of 10 indicators that are designed to signal business cycle peaks and troughs. Seven of the 10 indicators that make up the LEI advanced in March, led by interest rate spreads, building permits and stock prices. The three negative contributors in March were average weekly manufacturing hours, average consumer expectations for business conditions and the Institute for Supply Management's measure of manufacturers' new orders.
"The index now stands at 95.7, the highest level since June 2008," the Associated Press notes. "Before the recession began in December 2007, it routinely topped 100."
The Conference Board's index of coincident indicators, a measure of current economic activity, climbed 0.2 percent for the second month straight.
Jobless Claims Inch Downward
New initial jobless claims fell in the latest week reported, although the improvement was due to an upward revision of the prior week's total. According to the U.S. Department of Labor, seasonally adjusted unemployment claims for the week ending April 14 fell by 2,000 down to a total of 386,000. The prior week's data was revised to show 8,000 more applications received than originally reported.
"Initial claims are considered a key measure of the strength of the job market. When they fell to four-year lows a couple months ago, it was seen as an encouraging sign that layoffs were waning and companies were hiring more workers," CNN Money reports. "But now initial claims are back at higher levels, adding to fears that the job market's recent gains may be fizzling."
The four-week moving average, which provides a more accurate long-term picture of the job market, increased by 5,500 from the previous week, climbing to a 2.5-month high total of 374,750 claims. Some of the increase in jobless claims may have been due to seasonal factors.
"The weekly claims data is often hard to decipher in April because of the Easter holiday and spring break, when many school workers such as bus drivers and cafeteria workers are eligible to receive temporary benefits," MarketWatch explains. "Yet the uptick in claims, which touched a four-year low in mid-February, is sharp enough to spark concerns about whether the labor market is losing steam again."
Global NC Software Market Grew in 2011
The worldwide market for numerical control (NC) software and related services grew 14.4 percent in 2001, based on end-user payments, according to CIMdata, Inc., a global consulting and research firm. The estimated end-user payments jumped from $1.3 billion in 2010 to $1.5 billion in 2011.
"The market growth rate in 2011 reflects a strong overall PLM spend, continuing the recovery from the downturn in the global economy that manifested itself in dramatically higher machine tool sales into the manufacturing industry," the consultancy says in advance of the soon-to-be-issued update to its NC Market Analysis Report. "It has been estimated that worldwide shipments of machine tools increased by 35 percent from 2010 to 2011, which is directly related to the volume of CAM software employed to drive these tools."
CIMdata projects that in 2012 growth in manufacturing will continue and end-user payments for NC software will increase by 12.4 percent to $1.7 billion.
The NC software market has shown "modest but steady growth" since 2002, the research group reports. There has been worldwide growth in both the sales of machine tools and manufacturing output over that period, as manufacturers raised their emphasis on machine tool efficiency.
The chart below shows the size and growth of the NC software and related services market based on end-user payments. It can also be seen that approximately one-third of the end-user payments result in reseller revenues and approximately two-thirds of the revenues are payments to software vendors.

- Do you have any culinary training? - No, just a lot of trial and error in the kitchen and many hours of practice and experimentation.
- How do you come up with your ideas? - Basically, my mind is constantly wandering to what I will be cooking next. I read cookbooks and food magazines and watch cooking shows for inspiration. I so enjoy the process of thinking about how ingredients and flavors work together, spending the time in the kitchen with Jamie, cooking and taking pictures of everything, and then seeing it all come together into a finished, beautiful dish. But of course, how it tastes is the most important thing! I keep a list of new ideas that I eventually want to make and feature on my blog, and the list is constantly growing.
- Are the recipes your own? - Almost all the recipes on this blog are Jamie's and my ideas and creations, or family recipes. Once in a while, I'll blog about a recipe I found online or in a cookbook, and I will always site the source in that case. Here is an excellent article by David Lebovitz on the subject of recipe attribution.
- May I recommend your recipes on my blog? Of course! Just be sure to include the direct link to the post on my blog. You may not use my photos without my permission.
- What kind of camera do you use? - When I started this blog in 2011, I used a Casio EX-FH20, always with the flash off when taking food photos. I have the most success when I'm able to photograph in natural light during the day; using lighting equipment at night is much trickier. In July 2013, I began using a DSLR camera, a Nikon D5200, usually with an 18-55mm lens.
- Have you ever taken any photography classes? - No, I just try to learn by studying others' photos, thinking about what I like in them, and trying to capture that same essence in my own. It's a work in progress as I try to get better.
- Do you use any photo editing software? - I do some basic editing, such as cropping and adjusting the light balance, color and contrast as needed.
- I love comments! Just be as friendly as if you were giving me the feedback in person. Rude, hateful comments and spam will be deleted. Comments containing links are automatically marked as spam.

The Campaign for Wheelock
Graduates Who Make a Difference
Betty Bain Pearsall '71
"Every day, I have an impact on hundreds of children and families, applying and passing on what I learned at Wheelock."
"Our alumni are a diverse group in many ways, but the common thread I see in them again and again is their dedication to actively do their part to improve society. Whether they are teaching in schools or serving on school committees, running a service agency or volunteering at community programs where they live, they put their Wheelock values and education to work benefiting children, families, and communities, which are the heart of a healthy society. We need more Wheelock graduates out there using their skills and educations to make a difference."
- Judy Parks Anderson '62, Trustee
Math lesson: Consider that a Wheelock graduate teaches 25 children each year for a career lasting 35 to 40 years. Add the number of parents that teacher also educates each year, because that is what Wheelock graduates do. Add in the principals, other educators, and entire school systems influenced by the innovative methods and practices that Wheelock graduates contribute, because they have the knowledge. Add in the professional colleagues and everyday citizens Wheelock graduates educate about policy and educational change, because they are informed and prepared to lead.
The impact of a Wheelock-educated teacher, social worker, child life professional, youth advocate, or policy leader multiplies exponentially the moment they step into a classroom, human services agency, health care setting, or community center. Multiply that by the more than 18,000 students Wheelock has graduated, and imagine their impact on children, families, and communities in Boston, across the U.S., and wherever in the world their educations take them.
Lisa Yates '99 is just one whose innovative spirit exemplifies Wheelock graduates' desire to be world-changing leaders. Lisa started Our Sisters' School, an alternative all-girls school, in New Bedford, MA, one of the commonwealth's largest and poorest school districts, with a dropout rate of 40 percent. "Being a first-generation college student at Wheelock instilled a sense of wanting to see girls break through life barriers and to reach down to help the next young woman up."
Deborah Karmozyn '79MS is another, one of hundreds, if not thousands, of alumni whose careers have a global impact. She has served as principal or curriculum director of schools in Europe, the Middle East, and Asia, and at the United Nations International School in New York City. "Wheelock changed me as an educator and made me open to the chance to broaden my educational and world views."

Saving Europe's Automatic Stabilizers
AbstractEuropean policy makers have repeatedly suggested that fiscal- policy coordination and fiscal federalism will play key roles in Europe's monetary union. This paper warns that this hope is misplaced. Fiscal federalism will not be available to offset recessionary shocks for the foreseeable future. The effects of coordination designed to internalize the cross-border spillovers of fiscal policies are too weak. Freeing up fiscal policy to replace national governments' loss of monetary independence requires allowing European countries' automatic stabilizers to operate. That in turn requires a flexible application of the Excessive Deficit Procedure and the Stability Pact. The solution suggested here is that the Excessive Deficit Procedure and any fines and sanctions associated with the Stability Pact be applied to the constant- employment budget balance, not the actual deficit. Applying them to actual deficits when European countries enter EMU up against the 3 percent limit will render fiscal policy strongly procyclical, aggravating the problem of macroeconomic fragility created by the loss of monetary autonomy. Still, countries like Germany haunted by the specter of fiscal profligacy need to be reassured that member states will not abuse their fiscal discretion. Procedural and institutional reform to offset the deficit bias in national political systems is the obvious quid pro quo.

5 Kitchen Drawbacks to Keeping the Thermostat Turned Down in Wintertime
This winter I have been trying to do with less heat. Instead of running the HVAC through the chilly months when the temperatures plunge, we've only used a few space heaters to keep pipes from freezing. It has actually been rather liberating, but there have been a few drawbacks — all of which are in the kitchen.
I currently call a 100 year old church home and although we turned on the main heating system last year, we realized we don't need to heat space we aren't using at the moment. Because of the high ceilings and large open spaces, we can't exactly close off doors, so this year we chose to turn off the heat instead. Here's the hiccups we've experienced with temperatures lower than 45 degrees:
1. Refrigerator Mayhem: Earlier in the season I asked readers what might be happening with my refrigerator. It was freezing everything and long story short, it was chilly enough in my house that it wasn't having to keep things cool anymore and instead, was having to keep them warm enough not to freeze. We adjusted the dials inside in the opposite direction you'd normally keep them and things were functioning much better.
2. Did You Know Oil Freezes?: We didn't either. The first bottle we noticed the floating chunks in we tossed. It didn't look right and we went with our gut instinct. The next bottle did the same thing and we finally caught on to what was up. The icebergs in our oil were there to stay. Although it didn't seem to effect the taste any, it still makes you raise an eyebrow of caution. We wrapped a towel around the bottle and it's been fine ever since.
3. Doing Dishes Sucks: Dishes aren't high on many people's to-do list, but when your kitchen is cold, they're even more difficult to tackle. Not because the dishes themselves are chilly (which they are), but because once you get wet, any attempts at retaining your own warmth are out the window. I spend my days with a few thin layers for extra insulation, but when you take off the hoodie and push up your sleeves to get things rinsed, um... brrr! Sure you could use gloves, but I've still never found a pair that fit me well enough to use with confidence.
4. Baking Temperatures: We use a toaster oven for most of our oven needs and although it's the little oven that could, the cold takes a toll on it. It appears to run about 25 degrees less than it should during these colder days. It's not a big deal, but to get breads and cookies to come out correctly, it does need to be checked so it can be adjusted properly.
5. Flowers Like Dang: I'm not sure this could actually be called a pitfall. In fact, it's rather awesome. Because things are chilly, we've been able to keep the same bouquet of fresh flowers alive and well for weeks. Remember this bunch I showed you earlier this month? Well it's still sitting on my island a full 20 days later. 20 days people, how's that for a fresh, inexpensive investment for your home? Booyah! (Wait, do we still say booyah?)

LOL! Yeah, cut flowers like temps between 38 and 45 degrees a LOT.
Another downside to cooking in a cold house? Yeast. It needs warmth to raise, which is sort of non-existent in a cold house. I keep the house at 62 during the day (obviously not as cold as you, but hey! I'm on the couch covered in a down comforter and wool, okay?), but if I bake bread I crank the heat a little temporarily and set the bread to rise on the nice flat radiator in our kitchen. It's absolutely perfect for letting bread rise. Way better than a slow oven as it doesn't get as hot, but it distributes heat more evenly than the top of a preheating oven (which tends to cook the bottom and leave the insides cold).
Can't believe your oil froze. But I bet your electric bill is down a bit now that the fridge isn't having to cool things down a lot. Unless your oven is also electric, in which case they might be cancelling each other out.
And honey isn't too happy. I have to say that in our house we are happy to do dishes in the warm water in winter. Much nicer than summer!
"Watch Out We Got A Badass Over Here"
Wow. I mean, I keep it on the cool side in our house in winter but if you're hitting temps where your oil is freezing, I'd be pumping in a little more heat however you need to!
I relate. Since I can only control whether the heat in my NYC rental is on or off, I choose off and let the hot pipes carrying heat upstairs to my neighbors do the work. I've never had frozen oil (maybe that is too cold to be good for your pipes?) but I have had my honey go solid.
Another plus: excuses for winter baking! an hour with the oven at 350 and my apartment is the perfect temp!
I remember the first time I tried to make bread, I was so confused when I left it out to rise and nothing happened. I did a ton of googling to try and see what I could have done wrong and felt like a huge failure until I realized my house was just too cold for the yeast to deal with. Between that and doing dishes in the cold, I have pretty much decided I am done being a tightass about the heat. This winter I am loving having my apartment maintain a steady 60°+ and it is more than worth whatever my electric bill will end up being (though I say that living in a small apartment; I would probably feel very differently if I had a high-ceilinged old house like the writer).
The place you're calling home sounds beautiful but hideously inefficient. Wouldn't it be worthwhile in terms of long term finances to wall off certain rooms? (I'm not an architect so I don't know the terms, but obviously insulation of some kind may be necessary for next winter).
Yeah, I would think trying to proof any kind of yeast dough would be impossible.
i love reading about you guys and your no heat experiences, but i think you could really benefit from a $0.99 pair of rubber gloves to put over your regular gloves to do your dishes!! 45 degrees and doing dishes sounds HORRENDOUS! look forward to reading more stories from you :D
Yeah, I love doing dishes during the winter (wearing gloves) because I get to run my hands under the hot water for much longer than I could otherwise justify. To be fair, though, I live somewhere where the low temperatures are around 45 degrees OUTSIDE, so I probably wouldn't know.
Wow. I live in southern Louisiana, and I feel like I'm saving money by keeping my thermostat at 70 and opening the windows on sunny afternoons in the winter. If it falls below 67 I wear gloves and a hat. I'm so impressed you're doing this!
Cut flowers will love it, but you must not have any houseplants. Mine would definitely all die in a house that cold. Sad.
While not nearly extreme as this, I did keep my thermostat down for a couple of winters. The truth is I was driven as much by frequent hotflashes as reducing the electricty bill. However, there was a huge downside -- my windows frosted up inside and seals broke. As a result, I had mold/mildew growing in the lovely moist environment. I ended up having to replace a half dozen windows. Lesson learned. My thermostat is set at 62 for now on -- unless I've got the yeast out!
I would much rather (and actually do) live in a tiny, kind of ugly space that I can heat to an unconscionably high temperature (nothing less than 72 degrees in the winter) than a big beautiful space where I'm miserably cold all the time. This, coming from someone much more preoccupied with the aesthetics of my surroundings than other people! Just goes to show how much I value feeling comfortable (or how unbearable the cold is to me). I know it's too hot when the coconut oil in my kitchen goes liquid.
We keep our heat around 63. Generally it's not an issue but I do like doing dishes much more than usual (the only time in the winter I will actually have warm hands). Also I usually have to place my bread dough near a heat vent to get it to rise in any normal amount of time.
Am I the only one wondering how you can stand to take your clothes off for sex?
Bklynbaker - we call that "wintercourse" in our house! Though perhaps sex for warmth is something only "old marrieds" do...
My mother couldn't afford heat (lack of funds) and I hated it. I couldn't get confortable, my poor dog couldn't stop shivering, and I hated wearing 2 or 3 layers of clothing to bed. Electric blankets and the stove were our saving grace.
Don't forget this could cause you water heater to kick on more to keep itself @ temperature.
Since you have High ceilings and logically the heat rises, look into a way of drawing the air up high down and pumping it out at floor level. It will normalize the air temp in the room and keep air circulating. I've seen a design that uses 4" PVC and a high capacity computer fan to do the job.
While I don't keep my house anywhere near that cold, I've found that turning on the light in my oven & having dough rise in there works just fine. It doubles in an hour.
Love the term wintercourse :)
Am I the only one who's tired of hearing about how cold these people are? If you don't want to turn on the heat, that's fine, go ahead and suffer. This whole martyrdom, "I'm so much better than all of you because my house is 45 degrees," thing is getting old.
Honestly, I'd be a lot more supportive if there was evidence that you really can't afford heat, but I don't remember ever reading that.
@Hbrogan, maybe they are doing it to save energy. My guess is you don't live in a drafty old house in a cold climate. I keep my thermostat at 60 during the day and at night, warmer in the evening and morning, and my winter energy bills are around $400 a month. That's a lot of gas. Being cold is just how it is for some of us in the winter. I appreciate the general idea of only heating the rooms I am in and seeing issues it could cause. If I didn't have a roommate right now, I may try the same.
I can totally relate.
We live in a late 17th century building in Paris (so not energy efficient AT ALL) and only have inefficient wall heaters in the living room and bedroom. With the price of electricity, we can't afford to heat the whole place (even if it is only 30m2, it's also a triplex that's loft-like as it's open from the top level to the bottom) so we have the heaters on timers to only go on when we absolutely need them (a little before we wake up and a little before bedtime for the bedroom basically).
The two kitchen things that suffer in the winter (besides the aforementioned dough rising and sucky dishwashing experience) are softening butter and defrosting anything (fortunately, our freezer is the size of a shoebox, so not much to defrost).
We are taking advantage of the cold weather however - our living room windowsill has a nice railing to keep things from falling off. This time of year we have what we call the "winter fridge" - juices, beer, etc. keeping cool just outside the living room window.
I keep the heat at 60 for day and 58 for night. It's not martyrdom, it's economy. I would rather spend what little I have on food and the mortgage. It is also better environmentally. Hbrogan, you don't get it. Believe it or not, the body gets used to it. I roast at 70.
Like another commenter (annstarrr), I'm in south Louisiana. Two days ago I actually had the AC on to cool the place down. And it's the third time this month I've done that. Most of this month (and December as well), no heat or AC has been necessary. At other times, I keep the heat around 64 when I'm home and around 58 at night. I find my much bigger issue is summer, when I have to keep the AC set at least at 88 while I'm not home to prevent the smoke alarm from beeping like crazy all day.
I make a challah like bread for easter every year, some years it's so cold at home I not only wrap it in blankets, but I find a seat in the living room on the couch and crank up the heater in there, in short I treat the yeast like my grandmother.
@Kassie, I live in a house built in 1927 in New York state with original plaster walls and not much insulation. So...yeah. Drafty house, cold climate. I keep the house at 68 when I'm home and 60 when I'm out during the day and I am still dressing in layers and wrapped in a blanket most of the time. Monthly combined gas and electricity is less than $200. I have a pet bird and I won't allow it to get too cold in the house for his sake.
Now, in the summer I won't turn the AC on until it's into the 90s in the house, but I'm much more comfortable if I'm too warm than if I'm too cold.
@HBROGAN, yes, I'm getting sick of these posts.
I'm all for efficiency and economy, but it seems incredibly extreme and silly when it causes so many other problems. What happened to doing things in moderation?

Libraries & Peeps, inseparable. What is your library doing with Peeps this week?
Please add & update this modest listing with your comments!
And in other news, "how to make Peep infused vodka" (we needed a recipe for that?)
Lynne O'Brien, director of academic technology and instructional services at Duke University, said the "rapid uptake" of MOOCs had taken many people by surprise. As she put it, "These courses don't seem to fit anything of the model that we have for how to do online education well." She's been hearing from instructors that "the process of preparing courses for this environment made them rethink" how they teach their on-campus courses. "Faculty have said it's a huge amount of work but that it's also a wonderful opportunity," she said.
seattlepi.com: Welcome to The Richie Perez Radical Library, a new library created by the Rebel Diaz Arts Collective. The library, which was named for a South Bronx educator and activist who died in 2004, features "works by influential thinker-agitators, such as Angela Davis and Malcolm X, with writings by hip-hop luminaries including KRS-One, the RZA and Jay-Z."
The collective partnered with Bluestockings, an independent Lower East Side bookstore, to gather 300 mostly donated books to get things started.
This week's program starts off with a brief essay talking about the disintegration of having a coherent "popular culture" in the United States then turns to the strange case of the Harlem Shake in Oxford. After that the episode wraps up with a news miscellany.

Sad story from Huffington Post of the librarian who shook herself out of a job.
Students and politicians alike are calling for an Oxford University librarian to be reinstated after she was fired for the filming of a Harlem Shake video in one of the school's libraries.
Though the librarian, Calypso Nash, did not actually take part in the making of the video, she allegedly lost her job because the filming took place on her watch, the Independent reports.
From the New York Times blog:
New York Public Library is running a pre-National-Poetry-Month Twitter poetry contest through Sunday, in which you submit three very short poems and compete for a chance to win a set of books by America's leading poets. Here's where you can enter the contest .
One poem has to be about libraries, books, reading or New York City, but the other two can be about whatever you like. It is the "whatever" ones that, naturally, drew our attention as we made our way through some of the hundreds of entries submitted just in the past two days. Some rated impressively high on the what-the-heck scale.
Here are a few of our favorites, a few about books but most not. It is possible that some of them were not meant as poems but were just tweets with @NYPL in them.
@NYPL i ripped the wings off the wind and fed them to the birds / they aren't as holy as they thought they were. — Drew Knapp (@drew_knapp) 6 Mar 13
Paper @NYPL / pulped rags shucked from corpses / the fibers embracing type / like teeth meat / we'll taste every word. — Matthew Wills (@backyardbeyond) 6 Mar 13
@NYPL To become dead even for a moment is not prudent says Yevtushenko, so resist the gentle pull of the steering wheel always to the right — Peggy Delmas (@PeggyDelmas) 7 Mar 13
Kingman Daily Miner tells the story:
Former Mohave County (AZ) Library Director Danielle Krol said she wanted to expand services for the public and bring better pay and more opportunities for library employees, but was fired by the Board of Supervisors before she had a chance to get the ball rolling.
This grand challenge would require librarians, information scientists, telecommunication experts and specialists on space flight. The lessons learned could be applied to earth-bound libraries and could re-envision how libraries are connected to each other and to the resources that they use. It could also impact other industries and how they communicate or share information. The work could place libraries and librarians front and center in a number of communities because we would need to be involved in creating the solution.
"Looked at the right way, Wikipedia can be a big help in making online readers aware of their library's offerings. One of the things we spend a lot of time on in libraries is organizing information into distinct, conceptual categories. That's what Wikipedia does too: so far, their English edition has over 4 million concepts identified, described, and often populated with reference links. And Wikipedia has encouraged people to add links to relevant digital library collections on various topics, through programs like Wikipedia Loves Libraries and Wikipedian in Residence programs. But while these programs help bring some library resources online, and direct people to those selected resources, there's still a lot of other relevant library material that users can't get to via Wikipedia, but can via the libraries that are near them."
Sydney Australia will be getting a new library; library as learning space, meeting space and playing space.

'I Never Said I Didn't Want My Baby': Mom Won't Be Prosecuted
Desmoines Register: A pregnant Burlington woman said this week she was falsely accused by police of trying to kill her fetus after she confided under duress to hospital emergency workers that she wanted to end her pregnancy.
Christine Taylor, 22, a mother of two, says she believes the personal views of medical workers and police played a part in a decision to accuse her last month of attempted feticide after a Jan. 19 incident in which she fell down the stairs at her home.
Feticide -- the illegal death of a fetus -- is a rare crime that has never been prosecuted in Iowa.
After reviewing facts of the case for three weeks, Des Moines County prosecutors have decided not to formally charge Taylor with a crime.
But Taylor said the damage has already been done: Newspapers across the nation picked up a news account headlined, "Iowa woman accused of trying to kill unborn baby in fall down stairs," after she was arrested and jailed.
"My name is ruined. Just Google it," Taylor said. "Now I won't even be able to get a job."
The news article triggered a debate over a growing fetal rights movement nationally and Taylor's fitness as a mother. Police said in a report she fell intentionally because she did not want any more children with her husband.
Taylor's case raises questions about confidentiality of conversations between pregnant women and health care providers, experts say.
Taylor says no one bothered to get her side of the story until she was contacted by The Des Moines Register.
She said she did not try to intentionally kill her baby.
Police were not even involved, she said, until she admitted privately to medical personnel at Great River Medical Center in West Burlington that she did not want the baby at times and had considered abortion because of hardships with her husband.
Taylor said her husband, who lives in Maryland, left her after she became pregnant with her third child last summer. She said she was despondent after a Jan. 19 telephone conversation with him.
"He was saying some very hurtful things and told me he wants to be free," said Taylor, a Maryland native. "And here I was alone, pregnant with two young kids, with no family around or support. I just thought, 'It's not fair.' ... I was so upset and frantic I almost blacked out, and I tripped and fell."
A national advocate for pregnant women said the response by the hospital and police to Taylor's crisis was bad for women and for babies.
"You want women to be able to talk to their doctors without being accused as a baby killer," said Lynn Paltrow, executive director of National Advocates for Pregnant Women, a New York civil and human rights organization.
Transforming some mothers' obviously difficult and painful circumstances into a crime, she said, "would make every pregnant woman in this country vulnerable to criminal prosecution."
The fall apparently has not harmed Taylor's baby, according to both Taylor and police.
But under Iowa law, any person who attempts to intentionally terminate a pregnancy "with the knowledge and voluntary consent of the pregnant person" after the end of the second trimester can be accused of attempted feticide.
Taylor said she was near the end of her second trimester at the time of her fall, but the nurse who treated her at Great River told police Taylor was in the first week of her third trimester, according to a police report.
Assistant Des Moines County Attorney Lisa Taylor said the attempted feticide charge was dropped because Christine Taylor's doctor confirmed she was in her second trimester.
Of the negative publicity that followed, the prosecutor said: "The facts of her life have nothing to do with whether I would be able to meet the elements of the crime. If she has concerns with how the hospital handled the situation, that has nothing to do with the county attorney's office."
Great River officials did not return several phone calls this week seeking comment.
An unusual case
At least 37 states have feticide laws, and the number has increased in recent years because of a growing movement by some conservatives to protect "unborn victims of violence."
Historically, the laws have targeted doctors who perform late-term abortions or people who perpetrate violence against pregnant women.
Bringing a charge of attempted feticide against Taylor would have treaded new legal territory in Iowa, legal experts said.
"I've never seen those facts brought to me in 20 years of prosecuting," said Corwin Ritchie, coordinator of the Iowa County Attorneys Association.
Robert Rigg, who teaches at the Drake University Law School, said the unusual case raises important questions even though Taylor is not being prosecuted. Among them: "How in the heck did the police get a statement made by a patient to a medical person during the course of treatment?" he asked.
Under federal law, health care providers can release limited information to law enforcement, but not if it was given in the course of that person's "treatment related to the propensity to commit this type of violent act."
Disclosure of some information could be a violation of federal rules protecting personal medical information, Rigg said.
In Iowa, state law says doctors and nurses are mandatory reporters of suspected child abuse, but those complaints are typically first taken to Iowa's Department of Human Services.
The agency investigates complaints only after a baby is born, but would notify police if told about a possible crime involving a fetus, said Roger Munns, a spokesman for the department.
Burlington police said in a report that they would notify DHS about the incident.
In Iowa, most crimes involving child abuse or endangerment apply only to children. But terminating a third-trimester pregnancy has been a felony since 1976.
In 2004, legislators passed a bill that would have extended the crime to all fetuses. It was dubbed "the unborn victims of violence bill."
But the proposal was vetoed by Tom Vilsack, then the governor.
Tough going for mom
Taylor said she decided to move to Iowa last year because she could not support her children on the wages she was making as a certified nursing assistant in Maryland. She found out she was pregnant last summer, after a visit home in which she was trying to transfer her certification and reconcile with her husband.
She said her husband told her during the call that he tried to reunite with her only because of their children.
"I don't know if anybody can imagine the person they love saying that to them," she said. "But I could barely speak. I was hyperventilating and crying."
Taylor said paramedics told her after the fall that her vital signs appeared fine. They warned that the emergency room would likely be busy if she wanted to go there. She said she wanted to go anyway because she was worried about the baby.
According a police report, nurse Tiffany Prickett said Taylor told her in the emergency room she did not want the baby. "She had asked Christine if she just didn't want the kid tonight, and Christine told her that she hadn't wanted the baby all along," the report said.
Later, the nurse brought in a doctor who asked several other questions about whether she intended to end her pregnancy.
Taylor acknowledges she was very emotional at the hospital.
"I never said I didn't want my baby, but I admitted that I had been considering adoption or abortion," she said. "I admit that I said I wasn't sure I wanted to continue the pregnancy. My husband sends me money, but money doesn't make a parent. I don't have anybody else to turn to."
Taylor said the doctor told her he was going to call Taylor's own doctor at a local medical clinic, but she said she doesn't know whether the call was made.
Hours later, however, police entered and began "interrogating" her, she said.
"I asked Christine if she wanted the child she was pregnant with and she stated, 'No, I don't know,' " the officer wrote.
Shortly after she was released from the hospital, two squad cars pulled up behind the taxi she was in on her way home to meet her two girls. She said she spent two days in jail, while her daughters wondered where she was.
"I really didn't think things in my life could get any worse, but they did," she said.
Taylor said DHS gives her state benefits, but has threatened to withdraw them because she doesn't have a job.
On Thursday, she said, her tax refund of $3,200 was stolen out of her subsidized apartment after she left briefly with one of her daughters.
She said she had been planning to use the money to get a car so she could get a job or return to Maryland, where her parents live. "I missed a doctor's appointment recently because I don't even have a dollar to get on the bus," she said.
Taylor said if she really had wanted to end her pregnancy, she knows she could have gone to Planned Parenthood to do so.
"I believe in a woman's right to choose, but for me personally, I just have thought I couldn't sleep at night if I did," she said.
Taylor said she wants to have her baby and move on with her life. But she said she wanted to speak out because she believes she was wrongly accused.

kudos to her for speaking out about it. she was emotionally unstable at the hospital, and understandably so, and the nurse misinterpreted and construed her words and made a hasty decision to inform the doctor. proper action was not taken to understand this woman's point of view and what she really meant. i wish the best for this woman. she sounds intelligent and level-headed and honest, admitting that her words were easily misinterpreted but also acknowledging the fault of the hospital workers involved. i wish the best for her, her children, and her situation.
Head-desk. Face-palm. Whatever…. What??? If I'm a pregnant woman who wants to not be pregnant any more it's legal to kill the child at planned parenthood, but not by any other means? Is that not a philosophical contradiction?
I'm pretty sure if you google "her" name you going to find a LOT more about the popular actress, Christine Taylor.
Good site! Good and fun reading. I have got a small opinion to submit about funny shirts.

5 High-PEG Stocks to Stay Away From
MILLBURN, N.J. ( Stockpickr) -- In July 2011, I featured five stocks with high PEG ratios and recommended selling them or selling them short. Since then, the markets have endured a series of dramatic turns, both up and down, only to come out of it essentially unchanged.
All five of those high-PEG stocks, though, have declined over the past six month. Some have dipped more than others, but on average, the decline was well into the double-digit percentages.
With that performance in mind, here are five more high-PEG stocks to avoid.
